[00:00] mneptok, I think it's all apps. She has a hard time describing the problem. But from what I see on the screenshot it looks like everything is big. [00:00] How come "places" does not show up when I right click on the panel. Only "system" and "applications" appear to be configurable. Seems stupid... [00:00] andresmh: do you have another user account on the system to try? [00:00] aj_444, ahh sorry my fault. You need to add the Frquency Applet to your taskbar: http://linuxundich.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/gnomefrequencyapplet.png [00:00] mneptok, no :( [00:00] magical_walrus: otherwise, the '\r' character has no special meaning in your shell, and will remain as literal. in your case, it stuck into the filename of a a file you created. [00:00] DaZ-, I have no idea what card she has. I should have taken note when I installed the system. It's an old machine. [00:00] andresmh: create one? [00:00] And what is the name of the application that views files when you click on a folder in the "places" menu? [00:00] mneptok, good idea. [00:01] andresmh: then you know if it's a driver issue, or a config issue in her account [00:01] dergringo: would that be in the ad/remove section? [00:01] pacific-blue, nautilus [00:01] Thanks laclasse [00:01] pacific-blue: places are bound to nautilus (file browser) and configured from there as well, unfortunately even there configuration possibilities are rather limited [00:01] prince_jammys, is there a way I can edit a file in windows without it adding ^M to the end of each line? [00:01] magical_walrus: and don't use that editor, else you get further headaches, unless it has an option for 'unix style line endings' [00:02] aj_444, "CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor" [00:02] apt-get clean/autoclean typed at terminal did not work [00:02] prince_jammys, I'll check for that [00:02] magical_walrus: yeah, an editor that offers that option. [00:02] mneptok, I don't think it's a driver issue. I installed the machine a few months ago and it all worked fine. She has not applied any updates. But she said that the power went out and things looked bigger after that. [00:02] id1000: either: sudo apt-get autoclean OR sudo apt-get clean [00:02] dergrino: there's a kpowersave [00:02] how do I send a click to the screen with x and why coordinates with a command? [00:02] arand, yes [00:02] the power went out and her things looked bigger ? she has bad noght vision, me thinks [00:02] id1000, sudo apt-get autoclean and sudo apt-get autoremove ? [00:03] annoying it pops up new windows [00:03] I guess I could ask her to email me the content of Xorg.conf? mneptok [00:03] id1000: use apt-get --help to see what they do. [00:03] arand: Why does nautilus sometimes copy the file and sometimes moves the file? If I reboot the system there's a 50/50 chance the next time it will flip the action from move to copy. I'd like to somehow make it's behaviour consistent... [00:03] prince_jammys, It has an option to "Convert to UNIX format" [00:03] magical_walrus: great. use that. [00:03] Instead of having to press the shift key depending on its mood... [00:03] error -"could not lock file" [00:04] pacific-blue: same partition = move, diff partition = copy. === ventti is now known as ventti_away [00:04] how can i cd/read file to file/dir like this one "this dir has space in it" in command line ? [00:04] magical_walrus: .. for every file you intend to use in a *NIX (linux, mac osx, etc.) system. [00:04] pacific-blue: I have no idea, afaik that is wholly dependent is you copy on one disk or between disks... otherwise it'd be a blatant bug... [00:04] did anyone else's hibernate stop working recently? it just reboots. [00:05] lianimator: unfortunately within the same partition I get different results almost every time I boot [00:05] magical_walrus: basically, "anything but windows" ;) [00:05] prince_jammys, Will do. I don't normally write scripts in windows, so this problem has never reared its head before [00:05] CaptainCrook, cd "this dir has space in it" [00:05] don't macs use a different line ending? [00:05] or was that just older macs [00:05] * DigitalKiwi thought they used \r [00:05] I guess I'll dig around the nautilus documentation for possible bugs on this [00:05] kermit: How much RAM do you have? Have you got double the size of it as SWAP space? They say that meant to have double for hibernate. [00:05] magical_walrus: it's pretty common. first thing i suspected when you described the problem. === dor is now known as Guest66305 [00:06] unop, and if i want to scan for mp3 in command line that have space in it? [00:06] or \n\r or something [00:06] CaptainCrook, recursively in all subdirectories or not? [00:06] CaptainCrook: or escape the spaces, which is a bit more tab completion friendly: cd this\ dir\ has\ spaces [00:06] DigitalKiwi: today's macs use UNIX style line endings, '\n' [00:07] what was it the old ones used? [00:07] DigitalKiwi: they used to use just '\r' [00:07] anything use \n\r? [00:07] ikla: there is an option in nautilus preferences for "always open in browser windows" have you made sure that is checked? [00:07] unop, let's say everything in /music/ [00:07] DigitalKiwi: no. windows uses \r\n [00:07] * DigitalKiwi knows [00:08] CaptainCrook, find /music -iname "* *.mp3" -type f [00:08] DigitalKiwi: Which makes sense from a historical perspective, on a typewriter, you need to both drop one line, and return the carriage to the start of the page [00:09] ha [00:09] Just a bit of a random question but can I set mode +x on myself on this IRC? [00:09] magical_walrus: See http://freenode.net/ "using the network" [00:09] tonyyarusso: Thanks === xemacs is now known as marcel === marcel is now known as marcel_ [00:10] cbeck cr carriage return [00:10] CaptainCrook, hey they but that network capability in bash on the last update [00:10] I know === marcel_ is now known as marcel__ [00:10] magical_walrus: just visit #freenode and ask for an unaffiliated cloak, [polite words, remember] [00:10] unop, and to make them appears when i "mpg123 -Z /music/ " they all fails... any way to get around it? [00:10] CR is the hot topic of the hour [00:11] * prince_jammys destroys all CRs on sight, with a flamethrower. [00:11] CaptainCrook, find /music -iname "* *.mp3" -type f -exec mpg123 -Z {} + #perhaps [00:11] I usually just use dos2unix, but a flamethrower would probably be effective [00:11] Hi [00:11] did "sudo apt-get autoremove" get error "dpgk was interrupted, you must manally run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem" [00:11] CaptainCrook, failing that, this ought to do. find /music -iname "* *.mp3" -type f -exec mpg123 -Z {} \; [00:11] I use the 9.10 Karmic Koala, and recently updated... however after my restart I had NO SOUND [00:12] CaptainCrook, hey they but that network capability in bash on the last update you can try it out with this code http://paste.ubuntu.com/260102/ [00:12] ... and still don't [00:12] id1000: so run the dpkg command given to you [00:12] id1000: did you run sudo dpkg --configure -a ? [00:12] how did the networking standard of things being ended with \n\r come about? because of windows or for similiar reasons as windows? [00:12] i did [00:12] id1000: if not, do. [00:12] duh [00:12] I uninstalled pulseaudio and installed esound, and I got sound back - but the volume/sound control was gone [00:12] So I reinstalled pulseaudio - and my sound was once again GONE [00:12] duh? [00:12] id1000: heh, you'd be surprised at how many come here and don't. [00:12] green, lately I have found that my boots set my volume to zero... I go into aumix and fix it [00:12] I've checked that [00:12] unop: #ubuntu+1 and afaik, it's a common issue [00:13] I can put it on full blast and nothing comes out [00:13] bucky, interesting... [00:13] arand, sorry? [00:13] Everything's connected right, the volumes are up, everything... except pulseaudio is about to make me have an aneurysm [00:13] maybe my hibernate isnt working because i dont see a resume= boot parameter? [00:13] jiohdi: use alsamixer to set them and save the settings; also make sure alsamixer is run on startup [00:13] how do I refresh the X11 settings on a machine? [00:14] adaptr, I am using xfce and I dont see alsamixer [00:14] Can i use virtualbox to boot my vista partition ??? [00:14] CaptainCrook, did you have something to do with that? [00:14] jiohdi: it's a commandline program [00:14] Can anyone help? [00:14] sim_: i couldnt get that to work [00:14] I have the feeling my mom messed up her screen resolution settings and I'd like to reset things to the way they were [00:14] CaptainCrook, now i know how to light a fire under the developer's butt [00:14] !karmic | unop [00:14] unop: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:14] just say it can't be done [00:14] Seems like for everything the updates fix, two more things break [00:14] kermit: damn :/ [00:14] arand, I believe you have me mistaken for someone else [00:15] bucky hehehe [00:15] kermit: i dnt really see anyother use for VB then..unless ur a dev [00:15] sim_: i got it to TRY but it'd always stop at the same place [00:15] Pulseaudio isn't working... I need help [00:15] Has anyone had issues using evince to read files on local network shares? ATM it loads the file, then hangs at 100%, except when it just quits immediately. [00:15] kermit: does it work for some ? [00:15] arand, I dont see that option [00:15] sim_: i use it to run tax software for windows, the only thing i ever do that i cant do in linux. [00:15] unop, thanks a lot it works now! [00:15] green go back to xp that is what i going to do. with xp at least wireless worked on my msi u100 and was not lose my connection left and right even tried wicd and still [00:15] I don't have Windows. [00:16] All I have is Ubuntu and it has done a massive amount of failing lately [00:16] kermit: you mean u used to use it with xp ? [00:16] sim_: yeah, but it should run vista too === JohnRove_ is now known as JohnRove [00:16] ikla: nautilus preferences, "behaviour" tab [00:16] kermit: is it a straight forward procedure ? [00:16] Did anyone else update 9.10 and lose sound? [00:16] sim_: yeah [00:16] that is why i am thinking of putting xp back on my msi u100 what is the use of having a netbook without wireless working all the time [00:16] Pulseaudio doesn't work at all [00:17] green_bowl: #ubuntu+1 for help with 9.10 [00:17] I guess I'll reinstall gay esound for the time being [00:17] Ok [00:17] Anyone know how to mount a drive as a user from the command line? [00:17] kermit: kool, because i wanted to use vista to dl stuff via newsgroups and then access them on linux [00:17] i have sound with using pcm [00:17] kermit: thanks :) [00:17] inanimate: the driver needs to have user flag in fstab [00:17] Thxs seed to work but now i have only 200mb free instead on 400mbs, guess the updates have a larger footprint [00:17] err, s/driver/drive/ [00:18] cbeck: Hmm... So if it's not in fstab, then there's no way to mount it without being root? [00:18] damn does anyone know of a good/main repo which keeps a broad variety of the main programs up to date [00:18] ? [00:18] carl__, try mint 7 they made a bunch of wireless tweaks that usually work out of the box almost 100% [00:18] sim_: backports is the semi-official place to start [00:19] which hibernate method does ubuntu use? so i know where to start fixing it.. it worked a few days ago. [00:19] tonyyarusso: shall i enable backports then [00:19] sim_: PPAs of different packages is the next step [00:19] checked update manager says there is another 314mbs in updates to download - crap [00:19] thx bucky [00:19] tonyyarusso: adding ppa for a single package its pathetic [00:19] sim_: If you're willing to take that chance of losing the supported packages, yes === Qtpaxa1 is now known as Qtpaxa [00:19] sim_: If you want things to be frequently broken, you could run Karmic. [00:19] tonyyarusso: why would you lose the supported packages [00:20] sim_: Because you'd have new ones installed instead [00:20] why cant they keep the community one updated [00:20] i jus checked and vbox is way outdated [00:20] sim_: Because we use time-based releases, not rolling ones? [00:21] if you want constantly updated packages ubuntu, or any time-based release, probably isn't for you [00:21] tonyyarusso: ah i see [00:21] oo [00:21] hello [00:22] lan oruspu copcuklarý :D [00:22] ananýzý s2m :D [00:22] unop, however only one song seem to get thru and it play like 7 time at the time... can't seem to stop it... [00:23] inanimate: There are ways to make unknown drives user mountable, but they all require superuser privileges to set up [00:23] sim_: are you interested in distributions with always up to date packages? [00:23] DigitalKiwi: yep why not :) [00:24] CaptainCrook, hmm, yea - gimme a sec. [00:24] What's the best way to install rails 2.2.2 on ubuntu 7.04? [00:24] cbeck: Right. And I think automout may have been removed, so I guess I'm out of luck then. [00:25] cbeck: There's no way fuse could help this?

( the file has been saved with -O /media/hda3/slackware option) [00:37] Polycarbonate: I think the -c flag might do that. [00:38] anyone know of a metacity theme that integrates the titlebar buttons into the menu bar, or is that even possible? [00:38] will it remember the path i saved before? because im using a live cd [00:38] damn... i've uninstalled mpg123 ... it still play!!! [00:38] are there any option i need to add [00:39] CaptainCrook: sudo killall mpg123 [00:39] Polycarbonate: you might have to specify it again... (I've only vaguely heard about it, don't trust this for facts) [00:39] Polycarbonate, $ wget --help | grep resume [00:39] -c, --continue resume getting a partially-downloaded file. [00:40] CaptainCrook: its because apt removed the app from the disk, but its still loaded in ram [00:40] GSF1200S, ohhhh! thanks a lot! [00:40] CaptainCrook: np [00:40] so i have to add the same -O /path option ? [00:40] does update-manager stops when clicking update to 9.10 ? [00:41] for anyone? [00:41] anyone know of a metacity theme that integrates the titlebar buttons into the menu bar, or is that even possible? 2nd and last time ill ask.. not trying to spam [00:41] Polycarbonate: Yeah you probably have to use the same -O option with -c because otherwise wget won't know where to look [00:42] ok i got it thank you very much :) [00:42] http://linux.com/fakelinustorvalds [00:43] is there something available, which can serve a replacement for System Notification Tray ? === hey` is now known as grumete [00:47] Hello all, I'm using an ubuntu-based distro (XBMC) but their default loading of ATI graphics driver is giving me this garbled screen: http://i32.tinypic.com/euk7dx.jpg Does anyone know why this would be happening?

I often mention Ubuntu in those cases, but am always scrambling for URLs and basic "marketing" information [00:54] is there something available, which can serve a replacement for System Notification Tray ? [00:55] ZoeyMarie, you can use alsamixer or gnome-alsamixer [00:55] The big things I'd like are information on _why_ Ubuntu rocks, where to get it, and information on Wubi/trying Ubuntu [00:55] could always make one... and forward it to the ubuntu team [00:56] I might do so, though I'd worry about copyright infringement (I know Canonical is fairly lenient in that regard, but you can never be too careful) [00:56] when trying to play music from my ipod on ubuntu none of the files will play [00:56] :) [00:56] FrozenFire[work], i doubt you will have any worries [00:57] icarus, make sure you have ubuntu-restricted-modules installed [00:57] hi all, a little mystery.

I said I'm looking for an alternative that would have that possibility. AFAIK, normal syslog and rsyslog both depend on a unique unified syslog.conf file.

[01:15] PRO-DRIVE: Rename sources.list to sources.list.old and run apt-get update [01:16] ultra: open the nvidia terminal and you should be able to adjust the resolution if the driver permits it [01:16] johny000000: thx for help :) i will try :) [01:16] yea [01:16] what's the ubuntu council's irc channel?

Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [01:21] schmitty your can do a ls /dev/fd* to ensure that is correct [01:21] nice, thanks [01:21] i hate this bot :f [01:21] JoeSomebody: so yep you can install graphically or using commands [01:22] JoeSomebody: Try man 'command' with every program you need info for. it is pretty easy and informative [01:22] JoeSomebody: I suggest giving synaptic a good browse, since your new, and trying things that you want to [01:22] darlside420genec: this worked :) Why do I have to specify a filesystem for cd's but nor for floppys? [01:23] most must go grapically i presume? === buttsock is now known as Ithaca [01:23] Does anyone know if audio playback can be controlled with a foot pedal? [01:23] i did 1 thing in synaptic, was straight-forward [01:25] Does anyone know if audio playback can be controlled with something other than keyboard/mouse?

[01:43] RonWhoCares /etc/network/interfaces [01:43] JoeSomebody: kvirc and xchat are failry feature ritch. [01:43] JoeSomebody: If you're a feature whore, try kvirc from kde's desktop for irc.

[01:47] exapid: JoeSomebody yep this is a good way to do it for an app when it comes to Linux, native Linux app, then if there isn't one that is good enough Wine, no luck there, Windows virtual machine [01:47] Stronze: menu button > Preferences [01:47] can ubuntu access all my ntfs stuff on the netowrk without issues? my shares seem to be there for the browsing ...

[01:48] wow, people never get this much help in "other channels" [01:48] Ubuntu doesn't shut down properly. Does anybody have a solution? [01:49] JoeSomebody: I am not sure if they get it normalley here either, and it seems to be me doing it mainly now so :) [01:49] aj_444: what seems to be the problem? [01:49] wel thanks a pile [01:50] mdg - can fidn the program festival [01:50] JoeSomebody: don't forget to add Medibuntu repos and update before you start playing [01:50] mdg: I'm dual booting xp and UNR 9.10. When I shut down XP, the system will turn off. Ubuntu, however, gets stuck at this black screen with one flashing - up in the left hand corner [01:50] JoeSomebody: your a Windows tech going Linux, well I am someone that would like to be a Linux tech :) and not just servers and stuff like that, but right problem, Windows still dominates on the consumer/homeuser/businessuer? desktop, but the times are changing so :) [01:50] Hey, is there a program where I can monitor my CPU/System temperature, and useage?

[01:51] can someone help me with a firestarter issue [01:51] mdg: Admittedly, not that long. I gave it around ten seconds, shut the thing, and walked away. apparently, my computer goes into hibernate when it shuts.

I'll be back if that doesn't work. [01:52] mdg - cant find the damn program :/ [01:53] aj_444: if you change the /boot/grub/menu.lst entry for your kernel, removing quiet and splash, what is the last thing it says before shutdown (you'll have to reboot with those options), also, are you using any other boot parameters like acpi=off ?

[01:55] mdg - yeah its in menu and linked to the program and i replaced it where i want it.but it wont load [01:56] Stronze: did you add it as a new item or a new menu item? [01:56] can anyone who have some knowledge about emerald plz look at this link and tell me how to get those transparent effects inside the folders?

Just upgraded to 9.04, and the panel icons keep disappearing (until I hover, sometimes I need to click) and my fonts are blurry, and after a while become blacked out [01:57] mralexandro: emerald is not really recommended....upstream's ignoring it in hopes of it going away [01:57] mralexandro: the default window decorator for compiz, gtk-window-decorator, is more stable [01:57] I did a fresh install and got the same problem [01:57] maco, alright, so i should rather use gtk themes then? [01:57] Stronze: first, how do you start festival? [01:58] without an emergency disk, or another linux partition to load, how can I force a kernel to load up the filesystem in RW mode. Currently the fstab has some invalid options, and I can't edit it due to the fact that it defaults the system into RO mode. [01:58] hi again [01:58] run [01:58] Stronze: I don't have it - do you just type "festival" [01:58] maco, is there a configurator for those themes except the normal appearence tab? [01:58] mralexandro: compiz can use metacity themes just fine. and itll probably insert semi-transparency automatically [01:58] s0u1t: How do I install a program using make, I tried... cd ~/Desktop/lm_sensors-3.1.1; make clean; make; sudo make install; It completes a task for sudo make install, but I don't see it anywhere [01:58] JoeSomebody: this is normalley recommended around here as well http://www.ubutupocketguide.com and this site is good for finding out about distros http://www.distrowatch.com and I think you have enough links now to get started pretty nicely, good luck with that, altough the learning curve doesn't tend to be that steep with Ubuntu [01:58] mdg - i dont know.i just got it [01:59] JoeSomebody: pocket guide is excellent [01:59] sudo apt-get install xsensors [01:59] JoeSomebody: hmm link I gave had a typeo http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com [01:59] Stronze: try typing "festival" in a console and see if it starts [01:59] help, jackalope's gnome isn't working [01:59] I think [01:59] one sec [01:59] mralexandro: that's the only way i know besides editing the theme yourself... but i dont use a normal window manager, so i dont know if a tool for creating metacity themes has been created [01:59] something's... wrong... I have jaunty the netbook edition, the apt sources seem to be the normal jaunty ones, but there are what I consider "basic" packages missing from the repos, and I have it all, main, universe and multiverse (and partner) [01:59] stuff like mc, a full vim, etc [01:59] maco, what window manager do you use ? [01:59] mralexandro: xmonad [02:00] Stronze: once we know how it starts, we get the correct command in the launcher window [02:00] right on, you guys rock [02:00] maco and that is more stable than metacity and emerald? [02:00] mralexandro: its a completely different workflow [02:00] For details type `(festival_warranty)' [02:00] festival> [02:00] mralexandro: also, emerald is not a window manager [02:00] Anyone know how to get set up with an account on people.ubuntu.com? ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PeopleUbuntuCom ) [02:00] !emerald [02:00] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [02:00] s0u1t: got it, the site was doing what I was doing too, need to restart [02:00] Any idea why these packages are missing? [02:00] anyone? 9.04 seems unusable. Fonts get corrupted, font rendering is worse every minute [02:00] Stronze: just to confirm, it starts with "festival"? [02:00] (I can't connect to people.ubuntu.com, using my username & SSH key posted on launchpad) [02:01] mralexandro: emerald and gtk-window-decorator are two window decorators for compiz. they draw the colored border and titlebar on windows when you use compiz. [02:01] maco, sorry i mixed, metacity and compiz is window managers, gtk and emerald is decors [02:01] hi everybody ! [02:01] alrighty [02:01] does a GDM theme theme the Lock screen? [02:01] mralexandro: well "gtk" on its own refers to the widget toolkit. thats why i keep saying the whole g-w-d version [02:01] i am off now to read tons, i'll try not to bug you too much next week :) [02:01] i have a cron which never runs, but if i run it into console, everything's ok [02:01] http://pastebin.com/f36486c4d [02:01] mdg - nothing came up but what i paste what it showed in terminal [02:01] that's the cron job , how can i solve that ? [02:02] thanks in advance [02:02] maco, understood:) [02:02] how do i change directory to my cd drive in the command line and view the contents [02:02] mralexandro: xmonad is a tiling window manager. it suits my workflow (all windows either take the whole screen or they squish right up against each other in columns) better. it also doesnt have titlebars [02:02] administrator__: cd /media/cdrom ? [02:02] ok [02:02] Stronze: ? you lost me [02:02] mdg - its suppost to bea text to audio program [02:03] any tips? is this somehow being detected as a smaller netbook repo, or is stuff like MC not in the std repos anymore? [02:03] thanks [02:03] $200 for a hard drive... Man that ain't cheap! [02:03] mdg - no console control came up.its running in terminal [02:03] Stronze: what kind of text will it be "reading" to you? webpage or what? [02:03] how can I keep my panel icons from disappearing [02:03] LordMetroid: thats alot [02:03] as far as i know it will read pdf and such [02:03] mdg: I waited three minutes. it never shut down [02:03] anyone here familiar with unetbootin?

[02:04] how can i make this cron job works please, it does work when i run from theh console but not at crontab :-( http://pastebin.com/f36486c4d [02:04] so do i need to edit extlinux.cfg or something? [02:04] mdg - bah dont worry about.im gonna remove it and find another program [02:05] Stronze: espeak isanother app - but its console too [02:05] Stronze: I had it read me a web page the other day [02:05] mdg - i just need a program to read pdf files [02:05] JoeSomebody: some of us yeah [02:05] thiebaude: ???

Help please. [02:06] thiebaude: can't find linux [02:06] Stronze: ahh, i see [02:06] billybigrigger: on their site? [02:06] Stronze: espeak should be able to do that too - just pass it the file name [02:07] Stronze: also, pick a nice voice and speech rate === sebsebseb__ is now known as sebsebseb [02:07] billybigrigger: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [02:07] how do i check how much memory is in use from terminal? [02:07] Stronze: espeak -f [02:07] top [02:07] kapace [02:07] I think is the command [02:07] is compiz fusion still the main one to use ? [02:07] s0u1t, ok where do i look>? [02:08] the mem line [02:08] oh right heh [02:08] I keep getting kernel panics. The text is "run-init: /sbin/init: No such file or directory". Yet I know the file is there and executable and there's nothing wrong with $PATH. [02:08] total used etc [02:08] is 9.8mb free bad? [02:08] billybigrigger: besides usb, distros can be installed on the hard drive too [02:08] not necessarily [02:08] i think it is, really slow [02:08] i don't have a swap [02:08] yeah actually [02:09] Stronze: I'm seeing if I can get a PDF to work in espeak right now.... [02:09] i guess im going to have to make file swap [02:09] if i'm reading mine right it looks like it segregates that which is being used as buffer [02:09] (pagefile) [02:09] yeah [02:09] mdg: I tried waiting for the machine to shut down. It never did. [02:09] mdg - thanks.so just espeak -f file location/filename?

[02:10] thiebaude: can't find anything on it [02:10] Stronze: yes, but you will want to investigate the options for speaker and speed, etc or you will go mad! [02:10] Can anybody help with that kernel panic? [02:10] actually kapace, what's your four fvalues [02:10] values that is [02:11] any tips? is this somehow being detected as a smaller netbook repo, or is stuff like MC not in the std repos anymore?

I get as far as the ubuntu screen and the line going the opposite direction it does at startup. Then the screen goes black and theres a blinking white - up in the left hand corner. There it stays. I've wa [02:13] I started to use Ubuntu yesterday and I had some questions... [02:13] yeahI think that's bad, A. ubuntu needs like 256 or something bare minimum these days so your skating the line, B. I was going to say that the buffers looks like it's part of the "used" value, which makes used deceptive because buffers is what's being used to buffer files and can be recycled instantly when needed [02:13] ed around five minutes and still nothing [02:13] okay its reading i think [02:13] I think [02:13] s0u1t, i see [02:13] joako ask [02:13] joako: ok [02:13] mdg - your right it will drive me insane [02:13] I forgotthe option in espeak that tells it to read a webpage [02:13] aj_444: does it turn off on it's own like it's meant to or not? [02:13] What is the ideal way to share logins + home directories? In CentOS we used LDAP and NFS, which seems to work ok on Ubuntu too. [02:13] but you only have a small amount doing that it looks like so likely can't open much more application wise [02:13] Stronze: :) [02:13] mdg - how i edit voice and speed? [02:13] (without a page file) [02:13] aj_444: does the computer still turn off on it's own? [02:14] sebsebseb: No. I have to hold down the power button to get it to shut down. === Laibsch1 is now known as Laibsch [02:14] Stronze: espeak --help will list where to find those [02:14] /quit [02:14] anyone know of a smaller ubuntu channel where i might find some help for more specific problems? [02:14] Can I make a custom install disk with the updates already and customize the package selection and some settings? [02:14] Stronze: I can't get past the index with all the dots...... LOL [02:15] aj_444: I see, well not sure what's causing it, but what I do know is, that you can hold down your power button and turn off a Linux distro, without it complaining at you the next time you turn it on again, like Windows would === idleone_ is now known as IdleOne [02:15] Kapace are you using Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu? [02:15] ShawnR: not sure about #ubuntu-offtopic [02:15] aj_444 my laptop does the same thing, when i hit Ctrl+Alt+Del there, it then finally stops/unmounts the HDD, and then "reboots" with no problem [02:15] s0u1t, vanilla ubuntu [02:15] aj_444: basically you don't have to shut down like you would Windows, just use the power button if you like [02:15] im making my swap file right now [02:15] ShawnR: but you can ask away and we can try to answer your questions [02:15] I'm not an expert but you might want to try xubuntu or something lighter [02:16] sebsebseb: I remember reading somewhere it was bad for your comptuer to do that [02:16] aj_444: I think if you switch it off via the plug then, yes possibily [02:16] s0u1t, yeah, but 9.04 is light enough for me for now [02:16] ShawnR: So, I wait til I get the black screen, then do the Ctrl alt dlt thing then? [02:16] aj_444: ,but via the power button it should be alright, plus then the hardware knows, it's going to turn off? [02:17] sebsebseb: Mmkay. [02:17] sebsebseb: If by "using the power button" you mean pressing it, thus causing an ACPI event that tells the OS to shut down, that's fine in both Windows and Linux. If you mean holding down the power button, that's a bad idea in both as it doesn't cleanly unmount. [02:17] mdg - it lets me test speeds but i cant figure out how to make it accept that speed [02:18] rww: I have to hold the power button to get it to shut down. hitting it does nothing. [02:18] lol, ok. My experience in the past is that ubuntu and less than 512 is sluggish, (i've tried 384MB on a 700mhz p3 at least) [02:18] mdg - id like a program that ran on the desktop instead of terminal :/ [02:18] aj_444 yes, if you try hitting Ctrl+Alt+F1 or F2, etc, you will see the screen where it shows what it is stuck on [02:18] Stronze: perhaps orca? [02:18] s0u1t, i find that everything flys without swap until you hit your mem limit [02:19] Stronze: gnome-orca [02:19] aj_444: if you do that *after* telling it to shut down and getting to the blinking white line, that's generally fine, since part of the stuff that happens when you get the "going backwards" Ubuntu line is the disks unmounting. [02:19] then it starts to crash [02:19] aj_444: It's equivalent to the "It's now safe to turn off your computer" screen from Windows 9x, basically. [02:19] yeah, that sounds about right, but in vanilla ubuntu I think you hit that limit rather quickly! [02:19] rww: sounds good. Could the white blinking line have something to do with GRUB? [02:19] rww: well I have held the power button down on this computer loads now with Ubuntu, and not had any issues as a result, as far as I know [02:20] Stronze: maybe not.... [02:20] hmm gnome-orca is already installed [02:20] 能说中文么？ [02:20] !cn [02:20] rww: unless when I had Ext3, some of those former ages ago, disk check errors was caused by that, but probably not [02:20] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [02:20] sebsebseb: Well, I've done it tonnes of times on Windows and also not had an issue. Doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. [02:20] rww: i've never done that === mike is now known as Guest55060 [02:21] aj_444: I'm not sure. It started happening to me a while ago when I set some ACPI stuff incorrectly in my BIOS. I suppose if you disabled ACPI from GRUB it might also cause it. [02:21] rww: his error could be to do with HAL? [02:21] I installed the .deb for cinelerra where does it go so I can run it? [02:22] dividebyzer0: Search for it in synaptic [02:22] dividebyzer0: try typing cine in a terminal [02:22] aj_444: it didnt find anything [02:22] aj_444, sebsebseb: Probably the easiest thing to figure this out would be to disable usplash in GRUB so you can see the shutdown messages and see if it's successfully terminating running programs, shutting down services (including HAL), unmounting, etc. [02:22] mdg - i keep googling diff words but it wont give me a direct PDF txt to audio reader [02:22] rww: howwould I do that? [02:22] Stronze: you using adobe acrobat reader? === Guest55060 is now known as michaelc [02:22] hello [02:23] hmmm [02:23] Stronze: or acroread? [02:23] aj_444: your issue will probably disappper in Karmic, which isn't released as a final yet. also HAL is being replaced in that one [02:23] dividebyzer0: hmm. weird. sometimes you just need to click on the zipped file and it'll install itself [02:23] hello people [02:23] how can i stop my microphone muteing [02:23] sebsebseb: what is hal being replaced by? [02:23] sebsebseb: I am actually running karmic currently. jaunty wouldn't recogonize my wireless/ethernet [02:23] aj_444: hm, Ill look around more.. I did a file search and it didnt find anything, I even restarted [02:23] emd - i finally got the right combo in google and found a list of programs [02:23] aj_444: ah ha I see [02:24] aj_444: same here, I think I had a similar issue before, or was that the vm, by the way for Karmic help you should be using #ubuntu+1 really [02:24] aj_444: did you upgrade from jaunty or install karmic from scratch? [02:24] hi ubunters [02:24] anyone no how to stop microphones stop muteing them self in the sound tools [02:24] Stronze: looks like PDFs need to be converted to regular text to be read === shamm is now known as LinuxGold [02:24] Stronze: in both Orca and espeak and probably festival [02:24] rww: I installed from scratch. I deleted a partition I had of jaunty. [02:24] aj_444: this psyicail install seems to be shutting down fine, but the vm I had before this was a bit hmm [02:25] !karmic | aj_444 rww [02:25] aj_444 rww: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [02:25] can vmware run in console only? [02:25] sebsebseb: oh. I didn't know there was a karmic help irc. [02:25] dividebyzer0: thers ways to 'view' the contents of a .deb and see exactly whats in it and what it puts where. or update the locate database, and try 'locate cinerella' to see what files exist with that name. (if cineralla) dosent work from the terminal, it may be a Upper Case C [02:25] aj_444: then you're probably using GRUB2, and I have no idea if they changed the way you configured that. As sebsebseb said, #ubuntu+1 is probably a good idea :) [02:25] s/you configured that/one configures that/ [02:25] I'll check that out. [02:25] LinuxGold what do you mean?' [02:26] any tips? is this somehow being detected as a smaller netbook repo, or is stuff like MC not in the std repos anymore?

[02:28] LinuxGold: it saysa command called whiptail is using 100% cpu [02:28] haha, well vmware server 1.x has the "Vmware console" gui app which requires x to be used on the host but I believe can be "remoted to" when you have the "console" installed elsewhere with gui [02:28] poet: there you go [02:28] whats a good movie player in ubuntu?

It's simple, but relatively high quality. Unfortunately, I wanted to use Cleartype fonts such as Calibri and Candara, so Ubuntu users will have to install those manually (Details can be found via Google) [02:30] http://thefrozenfire.com/data/Ubuntu.doc [02:30] dividebyzer0: that .deb is just docuemt files.......

[02:30] sebsebseb: I went to ubuntu+1.. there isn't anyone responding [02:30] irfan_: does it have a camera on your phone? by the way this is really off topic for this channal [02:30] Dr_Willis: well it added a repository though [02:30] dividebyzer0: i used 'dpkg -c whatever.deb' like was mentioned earlier [02:30] can i use my cell phone as a webcam [02:30] Stronze: hmm, I only have evince [02:31] can someone help? [02:31] aj_444: just wait [02:31] dividebyzer0: yes the scripts could do most anything.. but adding a repo does NOT isntall the cineralla program.. you sould still need to update/upgrade/install cineralla then [02:31] i have cemara in my phone [02:31] looking for fancy gnome desktop apps. can someone give me a keyword to google for? [02:31] hi [02:31] im trying to install ubuntu from within windows... after running the install it asked me to restart, which i did.. but now I get grub error 17 [02:31] irfan_: and can it be used as a web cam? [02:31] right now all of them are attached to panels [02:31] Dr_Willis: so where is the Cinelerra install then? [02:31] yes [02:31] cheetahw26: oh you mean wubi? [02:31] can i do it ? [02:32] im booting into Puppy linux now, to edit the grub config... but I dont know what to enter/modify to fix [02:32] yes... wubi [02:32] Stronze: is it working for you? [02:32] sebsebseb: I'll try. <_< [02:32] cheetahw26: don't do wubi [02:32] Dr_Willis: ah.. found an entry in the synaptic === shamm is now known as LinuxGold [02:32] cheetahw26: Wubi can go bad yeah, and looks like it has for you [02:32] dividebyzer0: i would recheck the docs you are following.. You said it isntaleld a 'repository' THUS you need to run the package manager and look for cineralla now and actually install it. [02:32] mdg - still figuring it out [02:32] cheetahw26: better to do a proper partitioned install and it's not hard [02:32] i dont have much of a choice... there is no way to do a net install with a cd currently right?

[02:33] i tested the cd on another laptop and the cd is perfectly fine.. [02:33] oh no [02:33] irfan_: got to do above [02:34] but we can do it into windows [02:34] can you? [02:34] how? [02:34] never heard of it in windows either [02:34] never seen it done in windows either. :) [02:34] ive looked at the documentation about copying the .iso to a separate partition and booting to the install off of the hard drive, but haven't been able to get that to work either [02:34] unless only a proprietary phone can do it [02:34] cheetahw26: you can boot the ISO in a virtual machine, if your computer has enough RAM [02:34] cheetahw26: that should work [02:35] yeah... vm will work, but that is not what i want... i want to replace my windows install with ubuntu [02:35] no usb flash drive big enough? [02:35] hello everyone [02:35] cheetahw26: and I assume the phone is a USB device? and if so, then you should be able to use it with the closed source version of Virtualbox from http://www.virtualbox.org which has the USB support [02:36] cheetahw26: well yes that's what you will be doing basically [02:36] sebsebseb: phone??

If i wanted to know where pid 2865 orginated from 10 minutes ago can I do that? [02:39] cheetahw26: normalley I woudn't recommend Wubi, but it seems you may have a reason for it [02:39] sebsebseb: I think he said he was going to go try using his phone with windows as the webcam [02:39] s0u1t: I am aware that it is supposed to :) but when attempting to do so, I got an error, and don't know what the proper configuration should be [02:40] any one know how to unlock sony phone [02:40] interesting [02:40] cheetahw26, your cd dosent work at all?

We can help you work around the bug if possible (although that might be best done in the bug report itself), but this channel is not for discussing your bug [03:03] dividebyzer0: I searched for what you are having trouble with, but, apparently, I cannot find it.

[03:04] mdg - 2 gigs [03:04] netdur1: What that's saying is you need to confirm its still a bug, and provide them with the stuff they need (the various log files) [03:04] xps9000: First time using it, but I can try [03:04] MikeC: Try "/msg alis help" for info on Freenode's channel listing bot, which might work better. If you're using xchat-gnome, try xchat. And the xchat (not xchat-gnome) channel is #xchat ;) [03:04] Stronze: oh - that should be plenty [03:05] IldeOne: I do see it in my wine folder.

I think I'm using ext4, but it says ext3 in /etc/fstab [04:43] hardly: you might want to update fstab to say ext4 [04:43] newser: then right click on your printer and check "Shared" [04:43] hardly: and give your drive a good fsck before you get back into using it [04:43] on the client computer, open the print settings and check off "Show printers shared by other systems" [04:44] Ben64: I haven't edited it after the install. Wy aould it say that? [04:44] then just wait a few minutes and your printer should show up... [04:44] hardly: it's always been ext4? [04:44] yeah. I'm very familiar with fsck Ben64. [04:44] Ben64: unless I'm incorrect about the install options I chose. [04:44] Ben64: editing now....... [04:45] Ben64: any way to check who is correct, me or fstab? [04:45] hardly, fsck doesn't like ppl to get too familiar with it. Take it slow. fsck will come around [04:45] hardly: well anyway, check the partition then, if you didn't upgrade it to ext4, then it should be fine mounting as ext3 [04:46] hardly: it'd be kind of tricky, don't know of a way. [04:46] lol. so the mount options are basically what decides ext3 or 4... it seems. [04:46] Ben64: I heard the monitor click on restart. promising...... [04:47] hi guys [04:47] i could use some help [04:47] hardly: well ext4 does support "extents" if i remember correctly, and if they are enabled, you can't mount as ext3 anymore [04:47] dthacker: what did you say that is? an accusync? [04:47] i used "smart" this afternoon to upgrade my java version from 1.4 to 1.6 and about halfway through it i got a segmentation fault error [04:47] mgmuscari: nec multisync 95 [04:47] irb !details [04:47] lol [04:47] and now i can not reboot and log into my machine [04:48] Ben64: excellent. X restarted in 1024x768 [04:48] i had one of those [04:48] it died [04:48] a few months ago [04:48] after 10 years of faithful service [04:48] mgmuscari: NEC MultiSync 95 [04:48] dthacker: hehe, chalk up another win for hacks [04:48] irb111: can you log into single-user mode? [04:48] thanks Ben64 [04:48] one day i went to turn it on and was greeted with that wonderful burning electronics smell [04:48] sp: yes, i can [04:48] irb111: sudo apt-get purge xxx ? [04:48] dthacker: i just modified the xorg.conf i had, horiz sync's dont vary too much :3 [04:49] xxx being the program that broke? [04:49] i don't tinker inside high-voltage devices, so i trashed it [04:49] sp: that's the problem, I don't know which program broke my system [04:49] mgmuscari: smart idea [04:49] is ffmpeg a separate player or a set of plugins for totem, or should i install gstreamer-ffmpeg for totem? [04:49] theres one little wire on a crt that will **** you the **** up [04:49] sp: is there any way to get a list of what i installed today? [04:49] Ben64: I don't think Nvidia was able to probe this monitor for some reason. [04:49] the coils in those things can hold energy for a long time [04:49] do i have usb-imagewriter in ubuntu jaunty 9.04? :) [04:49] userone: you want gstreamer-ffmpeg [04:49] sp: i was thinking > ls -lt /usr/local to start with [04:50] userone: if you try to play something that needs it, you should get prompted to install it [04:50] hi [04:50] mralexandro: you have dd [04:50] dthacker: it might have been before they had probe-able info [04:50] Ben64: that's scary old...... Thank You for your help! [04:51] i found a file in mu comp with a bunch of crazy algorithms.. can someone help? [04:51] C-S-B, well i cant find it have to use it to follow the jaunty guide to create netbook remix, anything i can type in terminal to start it? [04:51] khacker, yes [04:51] dthacker: np, it *should* work up to 1600x1200 in theory.. but then everything would be tiny [04:51] i forget how to use banshee.... lol [04:51] can someone help me make a random playlist and put it to my mp3 player with banshee? [04:51] mralexandro: the UNR guide on the wiki has a link to download it, doesn't it? [04:51] do you have a trick of how to listen to some shoutcast stations directly from command line, without X running, meaning without songbird running for example [04:51] http://www.shoutcast.com/most-popular-radio-stations [04:51] thanks in advance [04:52] rww: thanks. i try to like to stay with full opensource if i can. Just out of interest, why does canonical support ffmpeg, but not gstreamer-ffmpeg. what is the difference? is gstreamer a non-open source plugin? [04:52] Ben64: yep this keeps me from having to scroll from side to side. :) [04:52] rww, shows repos source too interpid, hardy heron and karmatic or something, but not jaunty [04:52] Who be talks on the Russian??? [04:52] paissad-hp: "mplayer http://98.124.140.137:8030" should work [04:52] ugh does anyone experienced issues with print dialogs hanging on client computers when using shared printers?

[04:54] -oh ok [04:54] îëîëî [04:54] there you can see the names of the last installed packages, by date [04:54] ÷î÷î? [04:54] paissad-hp: get it from the .pls file from wherever you want [04:54] .pls file ? [04:54] userone: They're both open source. Everything in universe is, and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is in there. [04:54] how do you normally find shoutcast servers? [04:54] irb111: after that, sudo apt-get purge [package-name] [04:55] SP: ok, i tried to purge the most recent package and i keep getting segmenation fault [04:55] SP: is there a system log that i can to determine what is causing the segmentation fault? [04:56] rww: yes, thanks. i just installed gstreamer-ffmpeg. i was just wondering why ffmeg had the nice ubuntu icon next to it, but gstreamer-ffmpeg didnt? anyway.....thanks for your help..job done! [04:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/260148/plain/ i guess thats what i do? [04:57] C-S-B, rww i found it === hey` is now known as grumete [04:57] khacker, uh, so what is your actual question? [04:57] has the compiz settings manager changed recently? [04:57] mralexandro: good! [04:58] C-S-B, :) [04:58] what is it and why is it there? [04:58] can anyone help me with banshee i forget how to use an mp3 player with it [04:58] "mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy" give this error mount: mount point /media/floppy does not exist [04:58] why?????? [04:58] Schmitty: "sudo mkdir /media/floppy" [04:59] hello anybody knows about linkings in dh_make? [04:59] irb111: indeed, there is a system log [04:59] khacker, ah, an existential question [04:59] SP: i checked /var/log/messages but that had nothing in it [04:59] irb111: /var/log/syslog may have some info [05:00] but it may be hard to grep [05:00] or do we have a channel for packing deb? [05:00] belcher , does that mean u dont know.. [05:00] scriptwarlock: #ubuntu-motu is probably what you're looking for [05:00] SP: what should i look for in that file? [05:01] khacker, it means I don't know what your actual problem is [05:01] Ben64: thanks, i'm an idiot [05:01] ok well thanks ne way [05:01] thnx [05:01] hi [05:02] irb111: use tail /var/log/syslog (or syslog.0) [05:02] i have ubuntu set up how i want it, and now, how can i make a bootable copy of it onto a flash drive? [05:02] that way you'll get the last few lines [05:02] SP: ok, got those lines but nothing in there related to the segmentation fault [05:02] rww: i just installed gstreamer-ffmpeg, but totem still does not play an avi video file. do i need to restart the computer or just close and restart totem movie player? [05:03] g_: www.linux-live.org [05:03] Ben64, http://pastebin.fr/5422 [05:03] userone: what happens when you tell it to play the video? any messages? [05:04] someone help me out.... i want to reload my mp3 player [05:04] i cant see it with banshee [05:04] or rythmbox i just forget what im doing [05:04] !details @jet [05:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about details @jet [05:04] rww: no messages, the video is just 'paused' and doesnt play. i am using 64bit 9.04 jj, if that makes a difference. [05:05] either that or i used something different but i dont think so. [05:06] SP: are there any keywords I should be looking for? [05:06] never mind [05:06] i guess i had to use the same port as last time [05:06] irb111: no idea, sorry :( [05:07] Just installed KD4.2.2 and apps are noticeably slower to load on my machine than within gnome, anyone know any tweaks? [05:07] userone: that's odd. it's supposed to pop up a window if you're trying to play something for which it doesn't have codecs. If you're not getting that, you could try opening a terminal (Accessories -> Terminal), typing "totem" and hitting enter, and seeing if you get anything starting with "** Message: Missing plugin:" when you try to open the video. === casaubon is now known as Casaubon [05:08] mattgyver, why not 4.3? [05:08] mattgyver, prelink,preload [05:08] DaZ- I just installed the kde package from the repos thats all [05:08] can I disable tooltips? they just get in my way a lot :( [05:09] rww:ok. i just tried something. i opened a wmv file and it asked to 'search for a suitable plugin?'. i played another avi file in totem without a problem. the avi file i couldnt play works in avidemux but the playback 'stutters'. is there a problem with the file? [05:11] userone: Possibly. It may also be encoded differently/weirdly with something totem can't deal with. .avi is basically a container format; lots of different types of video can be held in it. If you don't mind enabling the multiverse repository, vlc might be able to play it (it's free software, but is in multiverse because of software patents). [05:11] What are you guys using as software mp3 players? [05:11] rww: the 'plugin search' found gstreamer-ugly. is that still 'open source', but just cant be distributed? [05:11] q [05:12] I've lost the ability to run Ctrl + C (Escape Sequence) in Terminator, URXVT, and xterm. Running Awesome3 WM... Any have a solution? [05:12] !cloaks [05:12] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [05:12] !cloak [05:12] userone: I believe so, yes. [05:12] rww: i will try to convert the avi file to mp4 in avidemux. that might fix that problem? [05:13] userone: yeah === cee_imutth is now known as co [05:15] I've lost the ability to run Ctrl + C (Escape Sequence) in Terminator, URXVT, and xterm. Running Awesome3 WM... Possibly caused by the xorg server update yesterday... Any have a solution? [05:15] what are the difference between the ubuntu and netbook release, do you have the same options in netbook remix? like compiz cube etc? === yeison is now known as jaynano [05:15] how can i found out if file x is symbolicly linked, eg /opt/somefile is a symbolic link of /opt/bla [05:15] im trying to copy a folder, and it gives me this output: cp: omitting directory `/home/zopiac/Desktop/Borealis' === bruenig_ is now known as bruenig [05:16] mralexandro, Yes. [05:16] how can i found out by doing .... /opt/bla ? [05:16] I'm trying to use checkinstall to install libpcre since the version in the repository for hardy is not current, and another app I'm building needs the current version. [05:16] could someone look over this paste and tell me what is going wrong? http://paste.ccpssolutions.com/?show=191 [05:16] does anyone know whats wrong? [05:16] zopiac, cp -r [05:16] slackd00d: ls -ho [05:16] ok thanks [05:16] zopiac, You need to enable recursive with -r [05:16] nnull, thanks:) [05:17] any programs for ubuntu to individually erase a file with DoD standards? [05:17] sekyourbox: shred [05:17] mralexandro, also I would especially recommend UNR if your cpu is Atom. [05:17] ah [05:17] Ben64: not working [05:17] slacker_nl: the output of "ls -l /path/to/link" will end in "-> destination_here" if it's a symbolic link. [05:17] thx flannes [05:17] flannel* [05:17] slacker_nl: define "not working" [05:17] nnull, yeah, its my gs's netbook, but yes it does have atom [05:17] rww: i want the other way around [05:18] nnull, if it works well i almost want one myself:) [05:18] can I disable tooltips? they just get in my way a lot :( [05:18] Ben64: i know that .kde is a symbolic link of .kde4 (ln -s .kde4 .kde), now I want to have $command .kde4 and tell me it is linked to .kde, ls -ho didn't do the trick === slashdot is now known as Guest37864 [05:19] I'd recommend crunchbang linux (based on Ubuntu) for the atom CPU. I have a Asus 1000HE, tried a lot of distros and found crunchbang lite to be the best [05:19] just my 2 cents [05:19] I've lost the ability to run Ctrl + C (Escape Sequence) in Terminator, URXVT, and xterm. Running Awesome3 WM... Any have a solution? [05:19] anyone? [05:19] i guess anyone is using xorg-server with USE=minimal? [05:19] slacker_nl: http://paste.ubuntu.com/260152/ [05:19] Netbook remix kinda sucked compared to crunchbang. Of course, I'm not a big Gnome/KDE fan ... [05:19] click [05:20] mralexandro, depends on the model of netbook, but for many works out of the box. [05:20] belcher: i have ordered an asus 100he, what do you mean by 'best'. i was going to install full ubuntu [05:20] Help on installing openBVE and more routes please [05:20] slacker_nl: So, given the destination file, find the symbolic links? I don't think there's a command for that. [05:20] i have had some problems with audio dying after a while on my 1000he [05:21] rww: correct [05:21] I've just installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my system, and the Hardware Drivers panel doesn't list any video drivers even after a restart and apt-get update/upgrade. [05:21] Ben64: doesn't work, since you assume the symlink is in the same directory [05:21] nnull, acer aspire one d250, it is in tier one, but i have to fix the known isssues, but i will ask here after the install:) [05:21] userone, that's an option as well. By "best" I meant working out of the box, not installing any cruft I didn't want, and fitting nicely on a 2Gig SDHC card :) [05:21] albech, yeah i had that, just need to reselect the right interface in sound i found, some reason changes it very occasionally [05:21] if i restart pulseaudio it is working again, but you cannot expect nornal users to do that [05:21] userone, incidently, I LOVE my 1000HE [05:21] I just smooched it [05:22] I've lost the ability to run Ctrl + C (Escape Sequence) in Terminator, URXVT, and xterm. Running Awesome3 WM... Possibly caused by the xorg server update yesterday... Any have a solution? [05:22] slacker_nl: http://paste.ubuntu.com/260153/ [05:22] for the rest a full ubuntu 9.04 works really nice on 1000he [05:22] CDRECORD said me "cdrecord: Warning: The DMA speed test has been skipped." What is it mean? Should I doing thomething to resolve this problem? [05:22] Ben64: brb [05:23] belcher: yes, i was going to get the new 1008ha. but 2 usb ports isnt enough (1 for usb modem, 1 for usb mouse, so where does the usb storage device go?) and i need a replaceable battery pack for long trips on the road. [05:23] slacker_nl: actually... find -L /path/to/search/in -samefile destination_here might do it [05:23] userone, into the usb hub :P [05:23] userone, yeah, good choice. I need the 3 usb ports all the time, and don't want a stupid USB hub hanging off it [05:24] i have the 3 ports, i still need a usb hub heh.. [05:24] i dont see how 1 extra port is your decision changer [05:24] Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/260155/ [05:24] rww: lemme look [05:24] the replaceable battery is a valid reason tho [05:25] slacker_nl: though if you set /path/to/search/in to /, you'll likely get a bunch of errors, which would be fixed by adding 2> /dev/null to the end. [05:25] the 1000he just run forever [05:25] nnull: good point...but like belcher said, i would want an extra hub. also, what about the battery pack? :-) [05:25] slackd00d: # This should produce /path/to/symlink, which doesn't happen: [05:25] slacker_nl: ^ [05:25] what does that mean? everything seems correct [05:25] userone, all comes down to personal preference ;) [05:25] Ben64: i want to see .kde [05:25] the whole idea with symlinks is to make a file appear in multiple places, without using extra disc space [05:26] albech: do you recommend upgrading to 2gb ram? [05:26] userone, well, the only real difference is the form factor [05:26] i now why, but I want to know if a file is used as a symlink, and if so, where the symlink resides [05:26] userone, why not? RAM is cheap atm and it's easy enough to install [05:26] or does the 1000he work well enough without it? [05:26] slacker_nl: an example of the command I said: http://paste.ubuntu.com/260157/ [05:26] rww: i'm running the find just now [05:27] userone, i'd suggest the ram upgrade. [05:27] userone, I installed 2Gig for the reasons I just said, but I doubt if I go beyond 1 Gig much, even using VIsual Studio 2008 a lot [05:27] userone: i havent done it and for most things you would do on a netbook, 1gb is fine imo [05:27] userone, keep in mind if you don't upgrade your stuck with a gig stick of so dimm ram :) -- but if they charge to install it don't let them, its too easy to do it yourself [05:27] It runs for 18.99 at newegg. [05:27] userone, booting into linux I don't get anywhere near the 2 gig [05:27] belcher: yes, thats another reason i didnt go for the 1008ha. difficult to upgrade the ram compared to the 1000he [05:27] I've lost the ability to run Ctrl + C (Escape Sequence) in Terminator, URXVT, and xterm. Running Awesome3 WM... Possibly caused by the xorg server update yesterday... Any have a solution? [05:27] belcher, plus the cost of a 1x4gb stick 4x's in cost after 2gb. [05:28] userone, I'm on a 1000he right now in Ubuntu Jaunty. I'm using 1.5gb of ram currently. [05:28] rww: i'm familiar with redirecting output btw ;) [05:28] slacker_nl: oh, good. It confuses lots of people, so I figured I'd better check :) [05:29] detonation, does the he have 2 ram slots? or do you have a 1x1.5gig stick? [05:29] heh, I'm on a 1000he now with crunchbang and am using 303Gig of ram [05:29] detonation, holy crap Ubuntu is heavy... I'm on Arch and I'm at less then 400 with opera and sonata open. [05:29] Several tabs xD [05:29] detonation, just what the hell are you running? lol [05:29] detonation: and what apps are you running right now? [05:29] Single stick nnull. I have 2gb installed, and using 1.5gb currently [05:29] detonation, ah. [05:29] let met see if I remember how to do this [05:29] belcher: lol!! great minds think alike! :-) [05:30] There is only 1 RAM slot [05:30] rww: that find command sure takes long :/ [05:30] MemFree: 473528 kB [05:30] MemTotal: 2053520 kB [05:30] userone, heh, even when I was running the full Jaunty I didn't get anywhere near 1.5 gig [05:30] i'm hearing that ubuntu sometimes kill macbook pro due to improper management of cpu votage / the SMC chip -- does anyone have documentation on this, or is this just fear mongering? [05:30] slacker_nl: you told it to look in /, I guess? I imagine that would take a while. [05:30] rww: $HOME, but that is 50_gb [05:31] my root is 20 gb, 4 in use [05:31] hey [05:31] ah, you need to look at the buffered and cached memory. Remember linux manages RAM differently than 'doze. Not all that RAM is in use [05:32] Very true. It's been many moons since I've been on Linux/BSD and am slowly remembering things. [05:32] I was sitting at /proc and /etc trying to remember lol [05:32] nnull, is it possible to remove the huge "menu bar" on the desktop of the remix? [05:32] detonation, heh, it's fun to come back to it though [05:32] cd /proc ; while : ; do think ; done ;) [05:32] mralexandro, Yup :) [05:32] Very, very true belcher [05:33] mralexandro, It's someone in System i belief. [05:33] nnull, awesome!:) [05:33] mralexandro, Somewhere* [05:33] nnull, i will find it. just needed confirm:) [05:33] mralexandro, no worries [05:33] if only my professors didn't put documents up as .docx and my teams didn't use Microsoft Project, I'd never have to boot 'doze again [05:34] belcher: antiword doesn't support .docx yet? ;) [05:34] actually, i finally had to replace my trusty old psion5mx, and an asus 1000he running full ubunut 9.04 (and now going to be upgraded to 2 gb ram) seemed like the perfect choice! [05:34] oOO can open docx can't it? [05:34] belcher: OOo will open docx [05:34] really [05:34] howdy [05:34] ? [05:34] belcher: detonation: good to know you like the 1000he [05:34] k i need to connect my lap to bsnl wireless connection [05:34] slacker_nl and Flannel, it doesn't render the equations properly. I am a math/comp sci major and need to see those formulas :) [05:35] in fact, it doesn't even show the equations most of the time [05:35] so it is now asking for wpa password [05:35] belcher: mkay, sucky [05:35] can anyone please help [05:35] userone, yeah, I had my misgivings, but now I use it more than my desktop or my $2500 thinkpad [05:35] have you guys ever used the ahh.. repair partition? if so does it wipe the 2nd partition on the drive? (im dualbooting) [05:35] CDRECORD said to me "cdrecord: Warning: The DMA speed test has been skipped." What does it mean? Should I doing something to resolve this problem? [05:35] chuck it in the bag and go. Got 8.5 hours battery life yesterday [05:36] anyway i can resize the xp partition on a netbook, using the netbook live cd ? [05:36] belcher, i have 1000h... i wish i got 4 hours... lucky dog you [05:36] ChanServ:so u have any idea wat i nwwd to do [05:36] nnull: the one that came with your computer? Yes, it generally does, though every OEM's repair partition is different. [05:37] gwildor, hmm I have a friend who has a 1000H and he tweaked it to get 5.5 hours. Powertop is a good utility for that, if you are interested [05:37] belcher, *nix ? [05:37] ChanServ:it is asking for wpa and wpa 2 password [05:37] gwildor, ah no. Heh, I forgot. That's with XP. *nix has a shorter life span [05:37] belcher: do you have to be very conservative in use to get that kind of battery life? [05:37] nvr mind found it:) [05:37] userone, nah, I was using everthing - wireless and bluetooth on too [05:38] hi all [05:38] belcher, though there is a powertop tool for linux... im looking into that now. [05:38] userone: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Battery-Powered.html#POWERMGM [05:38] ushus, I have lots of ideas. None relate to your question [05:38] belcher: i think the 1000he has an 8500mA battery pack? [05:38] gwildor, heh yeah, I just recommended it [05:38] i just had to reinstall Ubuntu and i did it using the non-expert option [05:38] userone, yeah [05:38] it looks like X wasn't installed [05:39] rww, ah, havent used a repair function since my old HP pc from the 90's heh [05:39] slacker_nl:thanks for the link, just reading it now [05:39] is there a good APT repo to get that from? [05:39] ushus, well, I have an idea that if I started my assignments earlier I wouldn't have to rush in the last few days [05:39] there's one idea [05:39] If packages are kept back, what can I do to get them to install? [05:39] k [05:39] thats gud [05:40] well even i beleive in that [05:40] ushus, I had another idea that if I attached some sort of tube to my nether regions I wouldn't have to get up from the couch to go to the bathroom. That's another idea I had [05:41] cool idea try implementing it common dude [05:41] NoCode: you could do: aptitude install $package, but usually there is a reason why they are kept back [05:43] NoCode: breakage may occur [05:43] slacker_nl: that was an interesting link, thanks [05:44] userone: np, pure coincidence, I only found it last week or so, wanted to tweak my lappy to enhance bat life [05:44] what will happen if I installed the libc6 from jaunty into intrepid? [05:44] NoCode: aptitude may say a package was 'kept back' if there's an available update, but you didn't install it yet. use aptitude's interface to see what's up: sudo aptitude [05:44] esaym: it would likely break things [05:44] slackd00d: Yeah, earlier I did, "isudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" which upgraded a few packages, kept back a few. Then I just opened up Synaptic, and marked all upgrades. It's removing a couple packages and upgrading 40mb worth. [05:44] lstarnes: :( [05:44] lstarnes: it seemed to install fine... [05:44] esaym: libc is something that should not be messed with [05:44] userone: if you are runnig kde, the agressive powersave options are really nice, bat life got up 1 hrs [05:44] I had to update to the mdadm in jaunty [05:45] because the mdadm in intrepid is broken [05:45] esaym: aptitude -s install that_package and see what changes [05:45] [05:45] slacker_nl: well it is already installed... [05:45] esaym: but like said it might break something [05:45] hmm [05:45] esaym: it also forces an update when there is an higher version [05:45] belcher: detonation: when i get the 1000he, is there anything i need to know before installing ubunut, or is it a straight install? [05:45] esaym: apt-cache policy $pkg [05:46] userone, um .. as long as you are cool with being able to install from an SD card, or have an external optical drive it's all good [05:46] esaym: you do have the jaunty repo already enabled in your sources.list? [05:46] straight install with the exception of grabbing 2 or 3 things userone [05:46] slacker_nl:actually, i am a gnome fan, and so thats not as battery intensive as kde, i think [05:46] detonation: what are those? [05:47] userone: i dunno, but the powersave options of kde are really nice [05:47] the eeepc acpi program/backend [05:47] although I would prefer some other service to take care of it, so it becomes gui independent [05:47] belcher: i will use a usb storage device to install. there is a 'howto' on the ubunut forums i think [05:48] userone, yeah. I created a SD card with crunchbang linux on it to use as a "liveCD" or rescue disk, or just when I want to take out the HD and have no moving parts [05:48] userone, it's pretty straight forward [05:48] and userone gnome sucks, everyone knows that ;)) grin [05:49] slacker_nl: yes but I changed it back already [05:50] Enter text here... hi [05:50] esaym: if you enable it, run an update and do apt-cache policy you can see the candidate, and simulate the install action, it will show you what will be upgraded.. [05:50] slacker_nl:yes, i have been told that! funny thing is, I have a core 2 dual processor laptop with 4GB ram and 512MB dedicated graphics card and i STILL use gnome!! :-) [05:51] userone: epic fail ;) I'm such a kde fanboy, i would run kde on a server, because otherwise it would not be ready for the job [05:51] ok, back to work [05:51] detonation: what was this you mentioned about the eeepc acpi/backend? [05:51] rww: that find is still running... [05:51] slacker_nl: It has already been installed. I had to install mdadm and udev from jaunty so that I could assemble by broken raid5 array. The mdadm in intrepid seg faults with assembling broken arrays... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/282492 [05:51] esaym: ahh, check [05:52] userone, it's a small program for fn keys [05:52] i am just looking for sex [05:52] i believe it also allows underclocking etc [05:52] esaym: stupid question perhaps, but why not upgrade to jaunty? [05:52] eldady2580: aren't we all [05:53] slacker_nl: I don't know, this was all done over email with a friend... I told him not to upgrade it... [05:53] I am using ubuntu 9.04 on windows virtual pc. Can I still ask for help :-) [05:53] err, not to upgrade the libc6 [05:53] esaym: mkay [05:53] esaym: it could work, with debian you can mix and match between stable, testing and unstable as well [05:53] so why would ubuntu be any different?? [05:54] slacker_nl: I don't know. That is way I use debian [05:54] slacker_nl: uubntu is not debian [05:54] detonation: i read the ubunutu forums, and i think the 1000he is listed as a tier 1 supported netbook, so i thought all the fn keys would be supported. on my laptop every fn key worked perfectly out of the box with 64bit 9.04! i was surprised! [05:54] Hi, I am using Firefox and tinyChat, but the mic isn't working, though I can make recordings on the system. What am I doing wrong? Ubuntu 9.04 [05:54] *ubuntu [05:55] hello is there any command or any where that i can look on to all the specifications of my computer like Cache, RAM, Harddsik FSB speed etc [05:55] ? [05:55] userone, if I remember correctly, it does, to a point. The addon program replaces it with additional functionality (underclocking, on screen display of capslock key / etc) [05:55] detonation: i see...but all this chat about the 1000he is now makling me impatient to recive it now!! :-) [05:56] <_bugz_> pshr, less /proc/cpuinfo, free -m, df -h, fdisk -l [05:56] they're fun little things, that's to be sure of. [05:56] thanks _bugz_ [05:56] userone, haha. I know the feeling. [05:56] makes me wish I hadn't plunked down $2,500 for the T61 [05:57] how often does bash_hostory update? [05:57] whats a good IDE? C & C++ [05:57] please dont say emacs... [05:57] vim <: [05:58] hi all i have a DWA-552 (purchased on suggestion from people in this room gheheh) and i can not make it work where can i offically confirm weather or not the dlink dwa-552 is supported under ubuntu? [05:59] belcher: ise a lot of cad type apps (qcad, blender) and so I would still need a heavyweight laptop. i am sure you will find a use for the T61! As i said, the 1000he for me was to replace a psion5mx! (Now that was a well designed machine...but maybe thats for a different forum!!!) [05:59] device manager see it but it has a question makr, the drivers installed through the wrapper all say invali driver, and the install process run through wine fails when it cant see the card [06:00] _bugz_, the cache size which is given by /proc/cpuinfo does that refer to L1 or L2 ? [06:00] * pshr guesses its L1 [06:00] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1163054 according to this forum post it's supposed ot work out of the box [06:00] what mistake could be making? what is the process ofr installing a wifi card? [06:01] C-S-B, there's a few, but they all suck compared to VS, if you are used to that. I'll get flamed, but it's the truth. [06:01] userone, ah yeah, I use it, just not as much as I was intending to. The heaviest thing I do mostly is compiling lol [06:01] belcher: ive used netbeans in the past. I found that pretty good with java [06:02] C-S-B, i use eclipse for the Java. Or sometimes bluej lol [06:03] come on guys someone has to knowthe basic process for instaling a wifi card === bbb is now known as Ky|E- [06:03] lol [06:03] Need some help?? [06:03] Once I stopped playing games (so I could actually pass my honours year at university) I found I had way overpowered hardware lol [06:03] innomen you doin usb wifi? [06:04] Ky|E-, no, pci dlink dwa-552 [06:04] just to ask.. if i am missing something.. Why linux is better than windows?? [06:04] Not sure... think it has somthin to do with driver and modprobe [06:04] optimus, not "better". Different. Different tools for different jobs [06:04] Google those word's and you should be set [06:04] think it might have something to do with choice. [06:05] Ky|E-, scroll up and read what i already said [06:05] I just joined bud [06:05] sorry [06:05] belcher: explain.. [06:05] optimus, if linux doesn't seem "fun" and interesting to you, you probably won't like it [06:05] ahh [06:05] optimus: its personal preference. i like linux because its open source [06:05] Innomen: you're trying to install it through wine? [06:06] switching server's [06:06] Peace [06:06] sorry couldnt help [06:06] optimus: it really depends on what you'll be using your computer for. [06:06] hi all i have a DWA-552 (purchased on suggestion from people in this room gheheh) and i can not make it work where can i offically confirm weather or not the dlink dwa-552 is supported under ubuntu? device manager see it but it has a question makr, the drivers installed through the wrapper all say invali driver, and the install process run through wine fails when it cant see the card http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1163054 according to this fo [06:06] rum post it's supposed ot work out of the box === TheShahFactor is now known as DickTraitor [06:07] i hope that helps, thats what i said before all pasted togather heheh [06:07] hi to all [06:07] to tell the truth, the open source aspect is tangential to me. My main likes are the shell(s), the better access to hardware, the customization you can do, and aircrack-ng [06:07] oops, scratch the last one [06:07] hi to all [06:07] i have a problem with programming sriver for usb hid [06:07] jaynano: example [06:08] anyone know if there is a combined bluetooth/wireless enabling dongle [06:08] is there any one can help me [06:08] optimus, just use it. If you don't like it, don't use it [06:08] ??? [06:08] belcher: the customization you can do is easier, and arguably better, precisely because it is open source? [06:09] belcher: and if i take development point of view then? [06:09] optimus, 'cause there's nothing worse than a windows refugee saying "It's not like Windows! Waaaah, how come it doesn't work like Windows? Waaaah!" :) [06:10] optimus: for example, I do a lot of scientific computing, and there are so many open source libraries, recources, packages, etc., available out there. All I have to do is look them up in Ubuntu's Synaptic Package Manager. [06:10] userone, well, not really, unless you are hacking at the OS source and kernel. Which I do do on occasion. Don't get me wrong, I'm an open source advocate. It's just not my #1 reason for using *nix [06:10] heh, so no dice huh guys? [06:10] !wifi [06:10] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:10] it's easy to have Ubuntu machines running at work and at home. I know that they'll function properly [06:11] I mean, how many people actually even look at the source, or even compile anything from source on ubuntu? They mostly get the binary blobs [06:11] hey now, those blobs are sexy [06:11] But one thing *nix will do - teach you a lot more about OSes than Windows can [06:11] detonation, heh, some are [06:11] ./configure --zomg-30-arguments-make-epeen=over9000 [06:11] s [06:11] *cough* [06:12] belcher: yes, you are right, but becuase the source code is accessible means that, if i had the inclination and the ability, i could make linux work the way I wanted it do, perfectly legally [06:12] the number one thing about ubuntu for me is the fact that since it's not all the time worried that i'm copying it i can put it everywhere [06:12] jaynano: nobody disagrees that linux is better for development purpose than windows.. am i true? [06:12] and i can sleep at night knowing i didnt pay some #$%hat's lexus payment [06:12] or "emerge for 17 hours but forget to include XXX in the build and have to build all over again" gentoo styley [06:13] optimus: i'm sure you can find someone. [06:13] slap 'em in the face when you do. [06:13] it's more stable, secure, speedier, lightweight than windows, and costs infinitely less [06:13] userone, yeah, and I do. Everything we do in the lab is custom linux kernels/userland. [06:13] !offtopic [06:13] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:13] prince_jammys: ha ha ha [06:13] whats the best GUI client for MPD? [06:13] optimus, just use it dude. It's, like, free and stuff [06:13] Check out Sonata if you're running Gnome [06:14] optimus: True, Linux is definitely more convenient for dev [06:14] anything other than sonata? [06:14] even if i could get windows for free (legally)... it'd still not be worth it to me [06:14] melik: I dunno. I'm sure there's more out there. Google is your friend. :) [06:14] i have ncmpcpp [06:15] for text based, its amazing [06:15] optimus: belcher made a good point point...its FREE! so if you dont like it you didnt loas anything except your time, and as Innomen said, you didnt pay for anyones lexus repayment!! lol [06:15] just need a good GUI [06:15] alrighty [06:15] optimus: especially if you are a student. Open Source is really an amazing asset to Computer Science students trying to gain an understanding for any kind of programming really. [06:15] i need to know about the hardware details of my RAM any way to find that out ? [06:15] I just hate when people want convincing to use it. I mean, either use it or don't, it's not like other users care [06:15] jaynano, exactly [06:16] atleast the model name or manufacturer name of my RAM [06:16] its tough to google around barely with out any details :( [06:16] yeah, last i checked there aren't any good *free* dev tools for windows [06:16] hi [06:16] jaynano, but kinda scary when you start pulling apart some of the code. There is some really woolly stuff out there :) [06:16] is dlink broadcom? [06:17] belcher: haha, no kidding. [06:17] hello [06:17] howdy. [06:17] * pshr guesses lspci works [06:17] how do I change volume via command line [06:17] depends on the card model Innomen [06:17] jaynano, plus, looking at some of the kernel code and the optimizations can scar students for life ;) [06:17] pshr: lshw [06:17] jaynano: just to ask, u said, u are into some kind of analytics, i am using something called as 'R', do u kno any different kind of packages?? [06:18] dwa-552 [06:18] Schmitty, try alsamixer [06:18] thanks IcemanV9 [06:18] optimus: I started learning how to user R very recently [06:18] this is disgusting, i guess i'll never come here for a device recomendation again [06:18] optimus: use* [06:18] oldude67: is that a commandline player? [06:18] oldude67: right now I am using mplayer [06:18] Innomen, ciao :) [06:19] Innomen: it should, just did a quick search and see some threads of ppl that have it working [06:19] belcher: I'm going to be taking an Operating Systems class this coming semester... so I think I might get to see some Kernel code [06:19] Schmitty, no its away to change the volume control with alsa you didnt ask about a player. [06:19] Innomen: works out of the box in 9.10 [06:19] sub[t]rnl, i know, yet it does not, and there apprears ot be no such thing as an offical list oif supposrted card [06:19] lstarnes: i know ubuntu is not debian, but if (works in debian) { probably ubuntu too } [06:19] hi guys [06:19] sub[t]rnl, what should i expect, plug it in reboot and login? are there any intermediate steps? [06:20] what's the easiest way to install the x-window-system on my new install [06:20] jaynano, ah the old OS class. I had to cram the process queueing algorithms for the exam and it damn near killed me [06:20] oldude67: yes there is. using mplayer, while music is playing you can use #'s 0 and 9 [06:20] Innomen: not in 9.10, it will load the proper modules/drivers and go [06:20] !ot > belcher [06:20] irb111: look for xorg-core iirc [06:20] belcher, please see my private message [06:20] Innomen: your using 9.04 correct? [06:20] irb111: sudo apt-get install x-server-xorg [06:20] belcher: but i think there is need of some kind of awareness about linux, i found it dam user friendly when i started using ubuntu. Most of the people still believe that linux is some kind of command line thing, at least the place where i am [06:20] sub[t]rnl, yes, 9.04 jaunty [06:20] q: what's the name of the disk-resizing app on ubuntu? [06:21] slacker: i just installed and it looks like my network card isn't enabled. how do i turn it on? [06:21] guys go discuss the wonder's of linux somewhere else this is a support channel [06:21] Innomen: kk, gimmie a few [06:21] aurilliance: a: gparted [06:21] pshr: for model & manufacturer you'll probably have to open the box & look. Else if you bought off-the-shelf hardware, www.crucial.com may tell you what you need to know without having to get your fingers dirty... [06:21] optimus, I'm surrounded by comp sci students all day. They all love linux heh [06:21] Ben64: ty [06:21] sub[t]rnl, thank you [06:21] few stuffs need commands but can be managed if u switch to channel like this [06:21] optimus: there's some truth to that. [06:21] optimus: cli > gui, though [06:21] how do i update to the latest pulseaudio in 9.04? [06:21] thanks losher [06:21] irb111: ifconfig eth0 ip up? [06:22] irb111: you want to configure your interfaces file: man interfaces [06:22] file is located in /etc/networks/interfaces [06:22] Innomen, well, I knew how to help you. But I think I'll pass [06:22] thanks :) [06:22] Innomen: mind if I private? [06:22] slacker:ifconfig command not found [06:22] sub[t]rnl, don't cyber with him [06:23] Schmitty, sorry the way you stated your question when first asked, it sounded like you was just wanting to raise or lower the volume of your sound, not with a certain player. [06:23] i can ping a computer on my network with ip 192.168.1.2 and gnu user ! , how can i ssh to it ? [06:23] whoa pappy! No ifconfig? [06:23] belcher, comp sci students love linux because comp sci students are avdersarial by nature, and you dont know how to help me [06:23] sub[t]rnl, be my guest [06:23] irb111: que? what does echo $PATH output? [06:23] belcher: no promises [06:23] can i ifdown eth1 my server but still be connected through eth0? [06:23] does any one know wether the iphone 3GS has been launched in india [06:23] slacker: actually /sbin/ifconfig works [06:23] belcher: re: Innomen, seems a bit harsh. I've seen much worse behavior on this channel... [06:23] Innomen, nah, comp sci students love linux because they are usually smart enough to figure out their problems on their own. [06:24] irb111: i know, i guess /sbin is not in your PATH [06:24] pheonix: so off-topic it's not funny... [06:24] ok [06:24] pheonix: Why are you asking this in #ubuntu? Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic. [06:24] losher, lol, good call [06:24] belcher, you're a rude sod and shouldnot be ina hel channel if you thnk everyone should figure out thier own problems [06:24] now *that* was funny [06:24] how often does .bash_history update it's contents? [06:24] Innomen, I didn't say that. I commented on comp sci students in reply to your observation [06:24] what'd I miss? [06:25] anyone knows how do i update to the latest pulseaudio in 9.04? [06:25] belcher, uhhh yes you did [06:25] jaynano, Innomen is getting a little uppity. Besides that, not much [06:25] sub[t]rnl, i'm useing 32 [06:25] haha [06:25] Schmitty: when you close the shell [06:25] De-Mentor: sudo apt-get update pulseaudio ? [06:25] belcher, OMG you're the one that just said everyone who isnt a compsci student or whoneeds occasional help with a problem isnt smart [06:25] prince_jammys: good good [06:25] Innomen, maybe you could get someone in the channel to teach you how to use "ignore" [06:26] aurilliance, i have the latest version in the respitories i need a newer one to make my bluetooth headset work [06:26] belcher, news flash you troll, some people have other things in thier life [06:26] Innomen, I'm sure if you ask nicely they could walk you through it [06:26] Innomen: belcher Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [06:26] !ot [06:26] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:26] De-Mentor: ah, sorry, I can't help you then XD [06:26] Innomen, yes. Please cease this OT conversation. Thank you [06:26] question: on an ubuntu server - can i do "ifdown eth1" and disable eth1 but be connected through eth0 via putty? [06:26] Why does my user-switcher don't show any options for logout, lock screen, etc. anymore? [06:26] belcher, if they make me shut up when i go off topic they should makre you shut up, but they didnt because you were jerking it about how awesome linux was [06:27] I'm feeling it now :) [06:27] lil baby [06:27] jrivera: yes as long as you're connected via eth0, not eth1 [06:27] ssh 192.168.1.2 -l afrand [06:28] oops! is this command correct ? [06:28] ^ [06:28] maour: ssh user@host [06:28] maour, u can also do 'ssh afrand@192.168.1.2 [06:28] What's the easiest way to set up a basic NFS export? [06:28] maour: looks ok. Add -v to get some debugging [06:28] ssh! | maour [06:29] ssh user@ip you might have to install openssh and have specific port(s) open. [06:29] !nfs [06:29] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [06:29] i just accidentally force-quit my desktop and my icons vanished, how do i restart my desktop? panels are still there [06:29] IcemanV9: follow up question - i can also do "ifup eth1" on the server and all computers connected through eth1 will have internet connection again [06:30] Devrethman: there's only one way I know of to set up a basic NFS export. It's not too complex... [06:30] ? [06:30] Is it with /etc/exports? [06:30] cause I know how to /etc/exports, I was just wonderingif there was some ubuntastic user friendly way of doing it [06:31] jrivera: correct. what are you trying to do though? [06:31] I switched from Gentoo to here yesterday. [06:31] cremaster, alt+ctrl+backspace should restart x [06:31] Devrethman: basically you need to install nfs-kernel-server, then configure /etc/exports, then run exportfs -av [06:31] cremaster: ctrl-alt-f2 to a cli, execute 'halt -h' or 'reboot' [06:31] !going_back_to_windows [06:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:31] losher: okay, yeah, that's the way I know. [06:31] lol [06:31] !webmin [06:31] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [06:32] Is ~/.gconfi/ the only place where it places all the settings?

Newest xorg is not the culprit, stty -a lists ^C as my escape... Anyone have a clue what's happening? [06:32] Devrethman: maybe ebox will handle the config, but really the only slightly complex step is the /etc/exports, so you might as well just do it by hand...

They can ping each other. Both are Ubuntu. Both are running openssh-server. But I can only actually connect to one from the other, and not vice verse (it hangs forever until finally timing out) can anybody help me? : / [06:34] jrivera: that'll do [06:35] xtagon: in the failing case, what does ssh -v .... report? [06:35] nothing happens when i run ssh afrand@192.168.1.2 -v and it just says debug1: Connecting to 192.168.1.2 [192.168.1.2] port 22. [06:36] someone tell belcher i didnt order him kicked like some mafia don :P [06:36] maour: telnet 192.168.1.2 22 or nmap 192.168.1.2 and check if port 22 is open [06:36] !ot | Innomen [06:36] Innomen: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:36] IcemanV9: I have also some questions with iptables because although i have blocked a particular MAC and IP and restarted networking and dhcp3-server the IP/MAC can still connect through. [06:36] Innomen, please remain on topic. This is a support channel :) [06:36] belcher, which is what i'm trying to do but for your harassment [06:36] Innomen: of the two, I'd have kicked *you* off for uncivilised language... [06:37] losher: -v causes ssh to print debugging messages about its progression [06:37] losher, go for it if you think its needed [06:37] NoCode: er, thank you, I think... [06:37] i dont care who got kicked or why i just want ot fix my net card in peace [06:37] losher, pastie.org is unavailable, but it's basically what maour just said [06:37] for more v's up to 3 the more verbose it is [06:38] ibnulislam, :) [06:38] nmap says Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes , > but i can ping it :-/ [06:38] Innomen: I don't think I care. I guess that's why I'm not an op... [06:38] Innomen, as I said, get someone to teach you how to use "ignore". It shouldn't take you too long - a couple days or so. [06:38] maour: can you telnet to it? telnet $host 22 [06:38] losher, when I try to telnet it just hangs as well [06:38] jrivera: i'm no expert on iptables ... i believe if you post question here, someone will help ya. [06:39] if maour if that doesn't respond, either firewall blockign you or no sshd running [06:39] belcher, idont ignore people oin principal, its akin to censorship [06:39] IcemanV9: thank you though for the help regarding my previous question... [06:39] xtagon: well, either the server isn't running, or something (a firewall) is blocking tcp connections to port 22...

[06:39] learn to /msg for these kind of discussions [06:40] losher, the server is running. Does Ubuntu come with a firewall that would be doing that? [06:40] losher: Also if you feel up to it, there may be man pages available. Just open the terminal and for an example, type, "man ssh" without quotes. [06:40] belcher: Innomen: ok, bored now. Please take it to offtopic... [06:40] and when i restart using /etc/init.d/networing restart i still can't get network access [06:40] slacker_nl, exactly. One shouldn't need the protecton of the herd [06:40] IPtables question: blocked IP/MAC input and forwarding in firewall but still IP/MAC can still connect, why is it possible? [06:40] losher, hey I dropped it. The princess couldn't [06:40] great ! thanks guys , problem was with firewall [06:40] Eh, I'm sure someone will get banned if it's kept up. [06:40] maour: yw [06:40] maour, I'm having the problem you described, how'd you fix it? [06:41] xtagon: yes [06:41] NoCode: we can only hope... [06:41] xtagon: first be sure you have run sshd and then check your firewall [06:41] Can anyone help me with that issue? [06:41] belcher, uh huh, that why you're still sending me a steady stream of 12 year old hate mail and you're still calling me names, but still, even you have a right to free speech, since i'm pretty sure you know i wasnt the one that kicked you by now, i'm done, but somehow i suspect you'll have more to say :) [06:42] is it possible to make ubuntu hotplug eSATA? [06:42] maour, networking noob here : ( can you elaborate on "check your firewall?" I don't have a hardware firewall and if I have a software firewall it's Ubuntu's default and I know nothing of it [06:42] How can i reinstall a package with all dependencies? [06:42] xtagon: install firestarter and just stop it with GUI [06:43] xtagon: I doubt it's iptables. But it could be. I'm not totally sure. I haven't messed about that stuff in a long time [06:43] xtagon: iptables is ubuntu default firewall [06:43] oh well looks like the card wont work under unubntu anyway and since thee is no offical way to destermine that for sure i'll just return it and try a diffrent card untili find one that does [06:43] but it's command line [06:43] xtagon: ^ [06:43] gufw is a lot easier to use than firestarter. It's what I'd recommend. [06:43] have a sweet day guys, the card in question was the dlink dwa552, dont buy it [06:43] xtagon: normally there is no firewall *unless* you configured one. sudo iptables -L to check [06:44] xtagon: in the terminal, type sudo ufw status (to see if the firewall is enabled or disabled) [06:44] Dont buy any dlink wireless cards if you want them to work on linux from the small amount of them ive tested [06:44] How can I see how I exited? For example, how to track exit status 0 or ... [06:44] ... some other number, like "exit 0" or "exit 1"? [06:44] or even a way to manually force a rescan of disks so that it knows when I've plugged one in? [06:44] heoa: echo $? to see the most recent command's exit status. [06:44] losher, maour, NoCode, thanks! Running firestarter and stopping it worked. [06:45] * xtagon is off to go learn about firewalls [06:45] xtagon: :) [06:45] heoa: echo $?

[06:47] ... new terminal, I do "echo $?" and I get 0. [06:47] heoa: the old shell wasn't a child of your current one. [06:47] heoa: has to be in the same terminal [06:48] prince_jammys: precisely, how can I do it? [06:48] irb111: I'm not really confident in helping on such issues, but with further regard is the loopback configured in the file? [06:48] i'm trying to upgrade my nvidia drivers by downloading one from nvidia's web site [06:48] IcemanV9: how can I do a child terminal? [06:48] NoCode: yes it is [06:48] the problem is that I need to run this without X [06:49] heoa: spawn another terminal (or shell) from your current one [06:49] heoa: make a file called test.sh and put /bin/sh exit 666 inside it. Then chmod +x test.sh then ./test.sh then echo $? [06:49] and once I kill X, network manager dies and i lose my wireless connection too [06:49] heoa: in your current terminal, type 'bash'. you are now in a shell that's a child of your main one. exit 666, and echo $? [06:50] for reasons I am not sure, the nvidia driver needs to download some stuff from the net and it fails [06:50] any advice on how to get around this please? [06:50] heoa: yeah, prince_jammys way is simpler than mine... [06:50] heoa: use prince_jammys' recent example [06:50] irb111: Okay. I don't really know the answer to the question. Someone else might. If not, and if it's a server check out #ubuntu-server, or ##networking [06:50] !network manager [06:50] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work.

[06:51] ... gives me 231, while 111 gives 111 [06:51] IcemanV9: except it probably won't work :) [06:51] heoa: because exit status must be between 0-255 [06:51] Hey anyone here knows a good mp3 tag tool editor? ( I don't want anyhting heavy like amarok or you know) [06:51] 666 get's OR'ed or XOR'ed or something. [06:52] alakhia: last time I did it I downloaded a shell script for installing the driver e.g. NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run which I could run later. Maybe you can do it the same way? [06:52] anyone know how to help me? netbook is lagging miserably, youtube videos barely play, all flash updates are installed an what not. can someone gie me some direction on what to do? [06:52] irb111: what codename is it? 8.04? [06:52] losher: i download the script but i needs to build a binary module [06:52] I am having an issue when printing. When I print a text document, some of the lines have the tops of the letters cut off. I do not think it is a problem with the heads, because if I set a border, the problem isn't there. Does anybody know how to fix this? [06:52] and for some reason it cannot so it connects to the web [06:53] i don't have gcc installed so maybe that is the problem? [06:53] prince_jammys: cool, thank you. [06:54] alakhia: aptitude install build-essential [06:54] heoa: welcome. [06:54] I have a bunch of rar files (part 1 , part 2 etc) and i would like to extract them all , is there a way to unrar them saying unrar X *part1.rar to unrar al of the files ? [06:55] losher: i'll download build-essential and try again [06:55] knightwise: usually you just need to say unrar x part01.rar and it finds the rest automagically... [06:55] knightwise: just a mo... [06:55] if it doesn't do that, try this [06:55] for a in *part1.rar; do unrar x "$a"; done [06:55] knightwise: i don't know if unrar accepts multiple filenames, so: for file in *.rar; do your_command "$file"; done [06:55] anything else i need? Do i need the kernel sources? [06:56] losher: Knightlust I'm sure if you put all the files in a folder, cd to the folder and type "unrar x part*.rar or something like that [06:56] If that's what the utility is called. [06:56] knightwise: try mine first :-) [06:57] prince_jammys: That worked ! awesome ! :) [06:57] yeah indeed [06:57] hey all, i currently have xp and ubuntu dual-booting, and need to reinstall XP (il be resizing the partitions too, but im fine with that) i just wanted to know how hard its going to be to get grub back to how it was (as Xp will overwrite it im guessing?). I have done many many dual boots before, but always did XP first. Advice? [06:57] thanx guyz [06:57] alakhia: that's pretty much it. you'll see error message if it fails [06:57] !grub [06:57] 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 [06:57] * knightwise just saved a few hours of time :) [06:57] knightwise: perhaps the other advice worked too. i don't recall if unrar pukes on unrar x *someglob* [06:58] NoCode, cheers mate, il take a lok [06:58] look* [06:58] :) [06:58] ok, build-essential it is ... i'll be back [06:58] prince_jammys: yeah it does , tried that but it didnt work [06:58] thanks guys for the help [06:58] knightwise: ah, ok. [06:59] if this kinda productivity keeps up i'm never going back to the gui again :) [06:59] It's nice to have the best of both worlds. [07:00] in return if anybody wants a good manual for the SCREEN command , check out www.knightwise.com [07:00] mm the old days of screen bitchx bring back memories [07:00] b3rz3rk3r: XP will overwrite it. You can back up the grub MBR using dd e.g. dd if=/dev/sda of=MBRsda.bin bs=512 count=1 and then restore it later using the liveCD... [07:01] losher, will that backup my cutomisations such as kernel limits and colours too? also, if im resizing, will that affect it as well? never done it this way round before, so im hesitant to trust Xp wont destroy everything :p [07:03] http://pastebin.com/d3770f34e error with copying GNU Screen's session. Why? [07:03] not regular file error [07:04] heoa: it's a socket [07:04] b3rz3rk3r: afaik, the only thing it will overwrite is the MBR. But note that if you resize any ubuntu partitions their UUIDs will change, so if your /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab reference any UUIDs, you will need to update them. Note that any time you play with partitions, there's a risk of losing your data. Make sure you have backups of anything irreplaceable... [07:05] heoa: the prior question, btw, is that your 666 or 999 gets bitwise ANDed with 256 [07:05] heoa: more correctly, it's a FIFO or named pipe [07:05] heoa: echo $((999 & 256)) [07:05] if you care [07:06] prince_jammys: 256 as output [07:06] heoa: echo $((999 & 255)) [07:06] heoa: sorry, 255. [07:06] losher, iv got autobackups running everyday.. learnt that one the hard way once, thx for the reminder tho ;) Just to be on the safe side then, i wont resize anything until Oct, as il be reinstalling fresh then anyway for the new release [07:06] losher, thx [07:06] prince_jammys: 231 [07:06] heoa: that's the result you were getting, remember? [07:07] hi all i have written ubuntu netbook remix img to a 2GB pen drive but not it seems it is 1GB [07:07] how can i enlarge this partition? [07:07] ugur: you used dd to make the copy? [07:07] yes [07:08] prince_jammys: I understood it like "999 mod 256 = 231 " [07:08] ugur: gksudo gparted [07:08] b3rz3rk3r: I think we all learn that one the hard way. BTW, installing a brand new release is at least as dangerous as resizing partitions, IMO... [07:08] i did it but it show as 2GB [07:08] anyone here have experience running TF2 through wine? Im getting bad fps in game using EnvyKG [07:08] ugur: hold on let me find some emails i keep marking as spam when i get them...they claim to help enlarge your partitions... [07:08] heoa: ah, yes, same thing. cool. [07:08] haha funny [07:08] but what komputes said works, sometimes [07:08] ugur: well first you need to install gparted, then you need to run it, just like other partition editors you can graphically expand the partition [07:08] DigitalKiwi: never heard *that* one before... === coil_ is now known as Guest99531 [07:09] and you can't do it on an active partition === Guest99531 is now known as coil-eee [07:09] so if you only have one drive, or need to resize the one on the running system, you need to use a live cd [07:09] DigitalKiwi: ugur that's right, you need to unmount it first (you can't be booted into the key when doing it) [07:09] i have gparted installed and it shows that there is a 2GB single partition on the drive but when i mount it i see only 1GB [07:09] and backup your data first since gparted ccan be flaky [07:09] ugur: boot from a live cd and do it from there, the live cd has gparted on it [07:10] hi, i want to play some 3d games in wine. which ati driver should i use [07:10] ugur: where do you only see 1GB?

Still have yet to use them, but you never know right [07:10] b3rz3rk3r: ok, sounds like you understand the risks, so my work is done here :-) [07:11] when i mount it with mount -o loop /dev/sdb /mnt/usbdisk and then after df -h [07:11] panfish: have you tryed EnvyNG?

I can try to reproduce, can you give me the link to the guide you used [07:25] I figured that, when I press m it goes to MM, none were on MM [07:25] THESE PACKAGING GUIDES ARE USELESS! [07:25] DigitalKiwi, however, they are all maxed but read 00 [07:25] komputes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles [07:25] lstarnes: sorry for the delay, any idea how to get it to other comp as ... [07:25] ... scp does not work [07:25] DigitalKiwi, in green, where MM shows if I mute them, below they say 100 [07:26] ugur: and the link to the image you used [07:26] I just downloaded a packet, how do i install it useing Terminal? [07:26] i dunno :( [07:26] I get 'Failed to find original dlopen loader' [07:26] when running pulseaudio in terminal [07:27] DigitalKiwi, my sound crashed probably, this is annoying :( [07:27] could some one help with by pointing to a tutorial bout adding a CNAME in VPS with ubuntu hardy on it? [07:27] for two reasons, one I am trying to setup some sip clients, secondly, I wanted to see http://remix.vg/lady-gaga-friends-poker-face-the-autoscooter-moped-mash-1684/ [07:27] komputes: http://ftp.linux.org.tr/ubuntu-releases/jaunty/ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img [07:27] these packaging guides make the false assumption that i want to build based on the repo version of package. THAT IS BULLSHIT! [07:27] i don't [07:28] CNAME is often confused with google maps. [07:28] komputes: thanks a lot by the way [07:28] /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [07:28] i think [07:28] ugur: wow 16 minutes from .tr let me find a better mirror [07:29] komputes: please take your time [07:29] Does anyone here know how to change the sudo passprompt variable to a multi-line message? [07:29] ugur: local mirror - 1 minute ;) [07:30] please. i really need help. [07:30] i want to build a ppa package using a git commit or git tarball [07:30] how do i do this? [07:30] LLStarks: I think the ppas might use bazaar instead of git [07:31] komputes: yes we are used to that slow broadband! in Turkey [07:32] i wanna setup an smtp server for outbound messages only (much like spamming :P) ... which server would be better? sendmail, postfix or something else? [07:33] ugur: did you clean/wipe the usb disk before doing the dd [07:33] mikejet: confuse with google maps? my friends had a domain name and want to virtually pointing to my vps ip, without changing the dns of his domain . [07:33] lstarnes. [07:33] that isn't the issue [07:33] i am pulling from a git [07:34] i want build packages based on those pulls [07:34] komputes: no but it was previously formatted as 2GB fat32 [07:34] LLStarks: for that, you will need to learn how to build packages with dpkg [07:35] the guides are proving useless for that. === aftab is now known as ftab [07:35] ugur: usually i wipe it first, this may be the source of your problems [07:35] LLStarks: it's a rather difficult process [07:35] komputes: how can do that? === wet-chan is now known as wet [07:36] ugur: gparted, right click delete [07:36] ugur: and then apply [07:36] !gparted [07:36] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [07:36] lstarnes, the code i am building does have an ubuntu package. but it's outdated. [07:36] what's the regex to use with replace() to change the first character, if replace(/(^\w+)/ is the first word? [07:36] ugur: ugur you want to make sure there is no partition on the disk before the dd [07:37] komputes: i deleted the partition === lln1 is now known as lln [07:37] LLStarks: you could try something like http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/Linux-For-Devices-Articles/How-to-make-deb-packages/ [07:37] ugur: sudo dd if=ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img of=/dev/sdb (or whatever your dev name is for that disk) [07:38] I need help to program with Python but on channel #ubuntu-programming, no one answer ! [07:38] LLStarks: this may also be useful: [07:38] !checkinstall | LLStarks [07:38] LLStarks: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

[07:41] thank you actionParsnip make sure to do that when it does d/c [07:41] and the "building source packages" it links to is useless [07:41] komputes: yeah stupid kde crashed so killed the xorg === Redman is now known as RedmanFrance [07:41] these guides assume bull [07:41] kangu: yes, as soon as it d/c run the command in terminal [07:42] komputes: i am rewriting the image now and i will tell [07:42] actually where are the guides for dpkg [07:42] How do I disable tap-to-click, anyone? [07:42] i want to see how hard it is compared to writing a PKGBUILD on arch, which is dead easy >.> [07:42] yo [07:42] !dpkg [07:42] dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. [07:42] alguien habla español? [07:42] Hey all, anyone know if there are debs for madwifi? [07:42] !es | julian_ [07:42] julian_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [07:42] !info madwifi-tools [07:42] madwifi-tools (source: madwifi-tools): tools for the Multiband Atheros Driver for WiFi. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.9.4+r3685.20080531+dfsg-1ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 55 kB, installed size 272 kB (Only available for alpha amd64 arm hurd-i386 i386 mips mipsel powerpc sparc) [07:43] ok ok [07:43] ActionParsnip, to the resuce, [07:43] if i understand ppa functionality correctly, i only need to upload certain files, not a deb [07:43] Innomen: you can also use: apt-cache search wifi | less [07:43] but i don't know how to generate a dsc, an orig, or any of those things [07:43] ActionParsnip, well the machine in question cannot reach the net [07:43] LLStarks: I think the ppa build system will automatically handle that [07:44] Innomen: but you have one that can [07:44] yes, but i need the files to upload [07:44] and i don't know how to create them from my source tree [07:44] ActionParsnip, yea but i cant do apt anything on a windows machin :P [07:44] Innomen: gotcha [07:44] ActionParsnip, hencethe ask for a deb [07:44] Innomen: then you can search packages.ubuntu.com [07:44] whats the right way to make a alias? [07:44] ActionParsnip, will do [07:45] joejc: in ~/.bashrc [07:45] Innomen: just teaching you to fish ;) [07:45] ActionParsnip, i like fish, and i like sitting by bodies of water, so fishing could work for me :) [07:46] LLStarks: I think you can generate the data needed for the source packag (specifically the .dsc file) using dpkg-source [07:46] ugur: i have the same problem as you [07:47] ugur: /dev/sdc 945M 926M 20M 98% /media/49ED-21FF [07:48] what would be a good ballpark figure for /tmp space requirements? using tmpfs [07:48] ugur: i get a different screenshot though [07:48] ugur: um, error [07:48] komputes: i think it is because the filesystem in the img is like that and since it is a raw write it is inherited in the new disk [07:49] lstarnes, you are assuming that i want use source available in the repos, are you not? [07:49] LLStarks: I am assuming that you want to use the sources available from a git repo [07:49] komputes: there should be a way to fix the metadata like fsck may be what do you say? [07:49] ugur: i think i need to say sdc1 and not sdc when doing the dd [07:49] one second [07:49] ugur: yes fsck it [07:49] let me try something [07:49] komputes: it says sdb and not sdb1 in dmesg in my pc [07:50] ugur: http://people.ubuntu.com/~komputes/gparted.png [07:50] ActionParsnip, would you have any idea why a card that from all account is oob supported would not show up in wicd? [07:50] which is the easiest to configure smtp server for outbound messages? [07:50] ugur: that is the error i get not the "not mounted error" - but i think this may be what makes it bootable - let me check [07:51] Innomen: dos it show up in other apps like wifi-radar? [07:51] tail: cannot open `/home/eric/libass-0.9.8/debian/changelog' for reading: No such file or directory [07:51] ActionParsnip, no but it shows up in the device list [07:51] where are programs normally installed? [07:51] Innomen: ok and does: sudo iwlist scan show APs? [07:51] i should say i dont know i havent tried wifi radr i'mnot even sur ei have it installed [07:51] azlon: all over the place on your system [07:51] azlon: in various locations, usually under /usr [07:52] hi. pretty new to ubuntu/linux, so i have a question regarding anti virus. [07:52] again, don't know, i'll check, its booting and doing a drive scane (i let them finish) [07:52] excuse me whats the first username in phpmyadmin? [07:52] glick: root [07:52] azlon: their in no single foldr for each app as it is hugely inefficient. The libs that make one app work may and often do benefit other so will be stored in /lib the launching binary will be stored in /usr/bin most likely [07:52] reenignEesreveR: if you mean an smtp client, I use ssmtp. It uses 8 lines of config. [07:52] sweet thanks Boohbah [07:53] glick: phpmyadmin doesn't actually have users of it's own. It'll let you login with already existing mysql users. So like Boohbah says, root. [07:53] ActionParsnip, assuming it did or did not? i'm just curious what would cause that type of thing [07:53] Innomen: well i the cli scan doesnt work then you dont have a driver installed [07:53] losher: smtp server i believe ... other programs would be sending email through it [07:53] !antivirus > snxdp2 [07:53] snxdp2, please see my private message [07:54] snxdp2: antivirus software isn't as needed nearly as much as Windows needs. don't get me wrong, malicious software can and does exist for Linux, but you shouldn't have to worry about scanning all the time. if you are still interested in running an antivirus, look into ClamAV === iruan_ is now known as iruan [07:54] hi, i read somewhere about a boot option acpi_osi but cant seem to find it in ubuntu.com documentation on Boot Options.. trying to force my computer to recognize that it is a linux system (and this could solve my cpu scaling probs) [07:54] reenignEesreveR: oh, it's kindof both server & client. Do you have an always-on network connection? [07:54] azlon: there is a distro that tries to mimick the file structure of windows but its fairly pointless and involves a tonne of symlinks from what i remember [07:54] losher, yes i wanna set it up on my production server [07:54] ActionParsnip, you mean drive in some non wrapper sense of the word, which makes the answer a lot more complicated than thequestion, oky, ythanksi'll come back if the madwifi thing fails to solve it [07:55] Innomen: the driver makes the hardware work with the OS. If you dont have the driver, the OS cannot communicat with the hardware [07:55] komputes: i installed a CLI program called testdisk from the repo and it says disk info is wrong in the MBR [07:55] ugur: do not use sdb1 in the dd command [07:55] komputes: Warning: Incorrect number of heads/cylinder 64 (FAT) != 63 (HD) [07:55] Warning: Incorrect number of sectors per track 32 (FAT) != 62 (HD) [07:56] komputes: no i dont use sdb1 [07:56] ugur: if you specify sdb1 it will only create a file under /dev [07:56] ugur: just use sdb and live with the fact that it is a 1GB image, was fsck able to repair it? [07:56] komputes: i think it is because of the mbr written in the img it is taken from a 1GB drive [07:56] reenignEesreveR: ssmtp is very simple to setup. It's good for always-connected machines, but not for machines which are only intermittently connected like laptops. It sends all mail to a smart hub somewhere. Mine sends everything to my ISP. Let me know if you want to see a sample config [07:57] ugur: keep in mind this disk is only meant to be used for installation/recovery/livecd [07:57] losher, thanks. I'm googling for it now :) [07:57] ugur: yes exactly [07:57] How do I disable tap-to-click, anyone? [07:57] hello do u know any whois utility like ubuntus whois for windows ? [07:58] i love ubuntu's whois utility but im using windows now :S [07:58] komputes: yes i see but i was thinking of copying windows xp installation files after booting with this and then install ubuntu on top of windows [07:58] simulation: i'd ask in ##windows [07:58] ok ActionParsnip thx [07:58] komputes: but you are right i will do this with another live installation iso i think ubuntu iso will work [07:59] ugur: worth a try [07:59] ugur: you can also use usb-creator to take an iso and transfer it to usb [07:59] komputes: img is a little more low level than iso i guess [07:59] komputes: i have unetbootin and works like a charm [07:59] ugur: usb-creator has an option to create a partition for files - perfect for live cd [08:00] komputes: hmm interesting i will try that also [08:00] ugur: in 9.04 usb creator is System > Administration > Make USB disk [08:00] ugur: i recommend it [08:00] good night all [08:02] MindVirus: somewhere in that mess of menus is something that configures the touchpad. I can't recall if it's Administration -> Mouse or something, as I dont have my laptop with me. Poke around and see if you can find it. I also recall something about a package specifically for the synaptics touchpad. Sorry to be so vague... [08:02] hiall [08:02] someoe using karmik koala alph4? [08:02] ActionParsnip, (driver thing) yea i figured i just kind of thought of drivers as a windows thing, i have no idea how ubuntu works under the hood heheh [08:03] losher: System->Preferences->Mouse and ->Touchpad both fail. [08:03] They both enable the touchpad if I want them to but not tap-to-click. [08:03] ActionParsnip, i have madwifi tools installed now cant seewhat good it did :/ [08:04] hi [08:04] everyone [08:04] Innomen: then run: sudo lshw -C network and websearch from that [08:04] MindVirus: google it. Depending on your release, there was a bug (something to do with Share memory in X11) and there was a workaround.... [08:04] is there any program to stream live tv? i am stationed in Kuwait but want to watch some sort of news channel like Fox News or CNN [08:04] losher: I have been Googling for the past 48 hours. [08:04] Can't you just stream your videos through firefox? [08:05] MindVirus: try a different search engine, different search algrithm, different results === Administrator is now known as Guest87143 [08:05] MindVirus: sorry to hear that, but you've now heard everything I know about the issue... [08:05] ActionParsnip: I was hoping that maybe someone here could help. [08:06] Talking to a search engine feels like talking to a while. [08:06] ActionParsnip: apparently 'bing' solves world hunger while it searches... [08:06] You can do it for awhile but eventually you get bored. [08:06] does anyone know how to config a reliance netconnect ZITE modem on ubuntu 9.04 thank you [08:06] MindVirus: well you have only used a single search engine [08:06] Different-colored walls, man. [08:06] I will reluctantly use another. [08:06] hah [08:06] MindVirus: or you can ask later in the day, different users with different knowledge again [08:07] MindVirus: there are more search engines than google yuo know [08:07] ActionParsnip: Google is the only one I love. [08:07] just google for them. [08:07] MindVirus: well its not cutting it right now so others may prove better [08:07] I actually ask in this channel at prime intervals. [08:07] To maximize the amount of people I reach. [08:07] Hi, does anybody know if Ubuntu supports displayport? I need to connect a second screen to my pc and I have a free Displayport.

[08:09] it says "disabled" in bold print towards the bottom [08:10] indus configuring a reliance netconnect ZITE modem on ubuntu [08:10] losher: prime meaning prime number. [08:10] innomen2: i know, if you websearch the line that is detailed in the product line you will turn up something [08:10] losher: I am an east-coaster. [08:10] * NoCode is an east coaster.

[08:11] in preferances its not appear [08:11] aaron11: i dont care. if its usb it will give an id code [08:11] so madwifi tools is not mad wifi [08:12] innomen2: if your card does not use madwifi drivers then you need to find what it does use [08:12] MindVirus: make a wish!

I dont know the contents of the archive you have intimately, if you read the file names you may come across something useful [08:29] innomen3: does it come with a README or INSTALL file to look at? [08:29] no then you have to go to the read me file and see what it says. [08:29] a readme WITHIN the tar file [08:30] yes [08:30] well, i'll just go check [08:30] yes, read that. [08:30] thats the bit of assumed knowleged [08:30] gidday from oz [08:30] innomen3: setup is what windows uses and is not applicable here as you are using source and not binary. also setup.exe will NEVER exist in linux as the file strucure between distroc can vary so wildly [08:30] innomen3: knowledge you now have forever ;) [08:30] prince_jammys, knowleged that should be in the !tar command and should be noted on every page that uses them :P [08:30] brb guys thanks much [08:31] Innomen, read the man pages it helps. [08:31] innomen3: well, it's only in tarballs and such that contain source to install. [08:31] man tar ain't gonna tell you about that. [08:31] no but it does explain a lot tho.

[09:19] thanks [09:19] seems to be working now [09:19] innomen: ok then neither modeule is loaded [09:19] ndiswrapper waslike 0 and then sevreal number but it cleared [09:20] so what signifigance does that have? [09:20] NeXstaR: sudo apt-get upgrade ? [09:20] neither ndsiwrapper or ath9k are touching the card? [09:21] innomen: Atheros Card? [09:21] lsbrum, yes [09:21] dwa-552 [09:21] Ciao a tutti... [09:21] ciao [09:22] AAGGGHHH help gettin frustrated, i cant find hw to move window close icons from left to right!!!! [09:22] lsbrum, product: AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter [09:22] Buongiorno, ho bisogno di aiuto per ubuntu... [09:22] Hey Guys, is there a place where I can download the CD installer instead of the DVD Installer? I read on the forums that that's where my hardware (keyboard/mouse) problems are from. [09:23] innomen: My card is Atheros AR5001+ [09:23] Truereaver360 as I said read the documentation [09:23] the setting is in gconf-editor its very simple to change [09:23] lsbrum, i shiuld have bought that one :P [09:23] but you need to mac4lin 0.4 documentation to show you [09:23] innomen: This is quite buggy card, do you know? [09:23] sorry pal where is that [09:23] innomen: Ad-Hoc is very hard with this card. [09:24] lsbrum, yea i know now, thing is the people here toldme to buy it said it would work outofthe box etc *sigh* like 5 people, guess they were pranking me or something heheh [09:24] well i cant even get the netmanager ot see it [09:24] so you've got me beat [09:24] GilJ: You can download the livecd from www.ubuntu.com, just click on the download button, chose a location and then begin download, the default is to download the cd installer [09:25] this is enough to make one go back ot windows [09:25] DJones Oh I had that one... guess that forum post is wrong :( [09:25] How do I record speaker outpur ? [09:25] innomen: Try ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-gtk or similar with Windows XP *.inf driver, or ath9k... [09:25] DJones When I try installing I can select the "Install Ubuntu" line in the menu, but when i get to the actual installer my keyboard/touchpad don't work anymore :/ Got a Dell Vostro 1510 laptop [09:25] * innomen smiles [09:26] lsbrum, been doing that all night brother, i have ath9k but i dont know how to tell it to make use of the card, the machine sees the card its just not doing anything with it [09:26] i just uninstalled ndiswrapper making room for ath9k [09:27] see i got banned form the forums for asking a queston like this "where can i find a listof known supported out ofthebox cards" [09:27] GilJ: You could try using the alternate install cd, that has a command line based installer and works with a wider range of hardware, there's a link on the download page near the bottom on the right to download the "Text based alternate installer installation disk" [09:27] innomen: With sudo modprobe ath9k you see any results? [09:27] !alternate | GilJ [09:27] GilJ: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [09:27] DJones Oh cool thanks [09:27] innomen: hahahah [09:27] lsbrum, none, i dont even know what that command does [09:27] sudo apt-get upgrade openoffice.org does nothing ;/ [09:27] innomen: heh [09:27] innomen: Try this.. [09:28] lsbrum, i mean i know i'm probing a mod :P [09:28] innomen: Then lsmod | grep ath [09:28] i did [09:28] no results [09:28] innomen: To see if the module load correctly [09:28] it has not [09:28] innomen: hummm [09:28] NeXstaR: are you expecting it to? [09:28] would it be possible to have something similar to a permanent ssh-tunnel up? [09:28] how can i load it? [09:28] Hello. [09:29] innomen: find /lib -iname "*ath9k*" [09:29] innomen: To find this module.. [09:29] ok [09:29] and when i find it if i find it? [09:29] richardcavell: im trying to upgrade my existing openoffice 3.0 to 3.1 [09:29] innomen: Or you can try: sudo modprobe ath_pci [09:30] DJones So I just download the i368 alternate installer? :) [09:30] modprobe dosentactually do anything though right its just a dianostic command yes? [09:30] innomen: insmod /path/to/module [09:30] <_tj> to put xfce instead of gnome i do sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [09:30] <_tj> right? [09:30] NeXstaR: you don't do it like that [09:30] innomen: modprobe load the module, see man modprobe for more info. [09:30] insmod, install mod [09:30] noobuntubu [09:30] innomen: maybe, hahahaha [09:31] oky thanky i'll come back with more problems shortly :) [09:31] insmod is actually insert module, not install [09:31] NeXstaR, http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/175/upgrade-to-open-office-3-1-in-ubuntu-jaunty-intrepid-hardy [09:31] close :P [09:31] innomen: be welcome, i am new here :P [09:31] noobuntubu [09:31] MikeSeth: You're right. [09:31] NeXstaR: sudo apt-get upgrade does something different [09:32] MikeSeth: I think this command is depreciated, or no? [09:32] What is noobuntubu? [09:32] does ubuntu have an employee discount ? [09:32] srry wrong window [09:32] ubunuser1979: Is there something we can help you with today? [09:32] zophy: 50% off for employees, yes, from $0 down to $0. [09:32] lsbrum: no, it's just not intended for end user, there's modprobe(1) for that [09:33] well modprobe(8) actually [09:33] humm [09:33] GilJ: Yes, I would just download the "PC (Intel x86) alternate install CD" [09:33] sayanriju: thanks i wil go read there [09:34] NeXstaR, another link: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-1-on-Ubuntu-9-04-111105.shtml [09:34] Awesome [09:34] NeXstaR, Just Google, man! :=P [09:35] DJones Ok cool thanks, downloading it now :) [09:35] so like what cables did you have so i could connect my old HD [09:35] sayanriju: yes true but ive been googling my butt off but nothing ... ;/ thanks for the input though [09:35] GilJ: Your welcome, hope it solves teh problem [09:35] DJones Hope it fixes my issues, it's quite anoying to have to restart the computer 50 times each time 'cause my keyboard doesntwork [09:35] DJones Otherwise I'll just go with 8.10 [09:36] IDE cables [09:37] i dont have any [09:37] lfrlrofr [09:37] hi [09:37] So check it out right! tryin to run Ubuntu 9.04 but it doesnt recognize my SATA drive.

[09:46] sayanriju: damn right [09:46] and how do you know that "it doesnt recognize my SATA drive"? [09:46] sayan: internal [09:47] Noobuntu, you trying to _install_ ubuntu on it? [09:47] becuz during the installation it didnt give me that one as an option to partition and proceed [09:48] yes trying to install 9.04 on it [09:48] any other disks connected? If yes, try to remove them, and keep only that one. [09:48] Noobuntu: seagate disk? [09:48] lsbrum, said unknown symbol in module (and my jump drive died yay) [09:50] Noobuntu, while on the live CD, check o/p of sudo fdisk -l [09:52] Hi, everyone, I'm trying to mirror the Ubuntu amd64 repositories. I want to download the repositories and then transfer them as they are to another computer which will host them. I don't want to host them on the same computer as I'm downloading them on. [09:52] I know of apt-mirror, debmirror and using rsync to mirror but I don't know which is the best for what I want to do. [09:52] Any suggestions? [09:53] roshan, depends on your purpose [09:53] whoa sayan ya going to fast for my nooby brain to keep up ..lol but yea i went thru this whole ordeal with partitioning my xtrnl and I jsut got it back the way i want it. but while running the live CD i went thru the process again with my xtrnl off and on the step where you choose what drive no drives come up. [09:53] I would like to know why the c64 kernal rom is not included in the vice package. Is it due to a *lack of a license* ? I cant' find any information about this. === jazz is now known as __jazz__ [09:54] I intend to host these on a computer on my college LAN. However, the Internet access we have there is terribly slow so I have to go to an Internet café to do this. This is why I need to download them on one computer and host them on another. [09:55] I don't intend to mirror security, updates or backports [09:55] roshan, so you are looking for a sort of local repository for your LAN? [09:55] Yes, sayan [09:56] this ubuntu sweaty virgin distro really rocks [09:56] roshan, so rsync is not really what you'd be wanting [09:56] did I lose you sayan? lol [09:57] Yes, I got that far but no farther. [09:57] hi guys [09:57] Hello jacquesdupontd. [09:57] hey, anybody have experience with cpudynd? [09:57] i wanted to ask you if you would any software for making contact cards [09:58] same size as credit cards [09:58] jacquesdupontd: inkscape? [09:58] hello, I just ran blender, and lt looks very crappy, showing artefacts from the desktop, background, etc. ... any ideas? Other X server , ...? [09:58] hehe [09:58] i just downloaded it [09:58] Noobuntu, boot the live CD with just the disk u want connected, check o/p of fidsk and then fire up the installer [09:58] but i have to relearn it all :( [09:58] Meh, I can't use my keyboard in the alternate installer either :/ [09:59] hi mafinar :) [09:59] hey Ornita [09:59] roshan, what /me'd do in such a situation is pull down all the packages from net on the cafe, carry them over to the college computer) and create a local repository from it [09:59] roza korchen mafinar? [10:00] Hello Ornita. [10:00] Pythack hi [10:00] na Ornita [10:00] keno korchen na [10:01] office korchen tai? [10:01] roshan, the only downside is the local repository won't really offer up-to-date updates like the official mirrors, but since ur college net is bad anyway, /me don't think that will be a problem [10:01] Ornita i don't believe in those things! [10:01] DJones Nop, alternate installer didn't fix it [10:01] i forgot u dont believe in GOD [10:01] no Ornita [10:01] no higher bein for u [10:01] lol [10:02] Ornita: Please stop being offtopic, thanks [10:02] i am trying to setup a raid an the tutorial told me to run "sudo mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf" but when i do i get "bash: /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf: Permission denied"... what should i do? [10:02] Flannel do i have to tok abt ubunutu only? [10:02] sayanriju: This is the part I'm unsure about. I was wondering which of apt-mirror and debmirror to use since all documentation I can find regarding both dates back to 2006-7. [10:03] read the guidelines Ornita [10:03] :P [10:03] azlon: You can try switching to interactive mode in sudo by doing `sudo -i` [10:03] mafinar i got a warning :~( [10:03] azlon: and then running `mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf` [10:03] i jess came here [10:03] roshan, none of apt-mirror or debmirror will suit the purpose if you decide to follow my idea of creating a local repo [10:03] i dont noe ny guide linez :@ [10:03] how do one install tar.gz files ? [10:03] sayanriju: I see, then how do I ensure I only download amd64 packages? [10:03] can i meet female here?

[10:05] mafinar pocha lok uni! [10:05] lol [10:05] hmph! [10:05] roshan, u can use any of those tools (including rsync) to just pull down the packages...but for the rest of the process none of them would be of much help [10:05] mafinar u der? [10:05] yup [10:06] stay on topic or be kicked [10:06] but i like the name ornita if its female [10:06] hyyy flannel can i know you? [10:06] sayanriju: I see.

Shouldn't be much hard, using wget+sed :P [10:07] brb.. [10:07] Ornita: for older pc's u should download xubuntu [10:07] roshan: all of the packages? You want to look into setting up a mirror [10:07] my pc is 2.4ghz wid 512 ram indus [10:07] is it possible to install ubuntu from 4gB pendrive, ? how to partition to 1GB and use unetbootin? [10:08] hmm [10:08] sayanriju: :) I could try that but considering I have no idea how to use sed, it would require me to learn quite a bit just to do one task. [10:08] Ornita: ok 512 mb ram then normal ubuntu will install but it will be little slow [10:08] irc_irc: what for do you need to partition [10:08] how to partition a 4GB pendrive to install ubuntu?

[10:27] szczym, okie dokie [10:27] szczym: which version of vlc? [10:27] ;) [10:28] my friend own a domain and want temporarly pointing to my vps ip. i have told him to use a name in his domain manager and point it to my vps ip, without changing the dns of his domain name. how to set that A RECORDS in ubuntu hardy ??? [10:28] szczym: it works for me [10:28] ActionParsnip: the default one from ubuntu repository of your version [10:29] szczym, can you please post the direct link to the bug page? [10:29] szczym: ok just clarifying it for people. I dont use multimedia keys [10:29] i am trying to access a samba share from a Windows machine, but it keeps asking for user and pass. i enter my linux user/pass and it doesnt work. when i enter root and the pass it works. how can i access a samba share with a regular user/pass? [10:29] Flannel: if i increase the slide in usb creator what will it do ? i have data in my 4gb pendrive [10:29] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/419795 [10:29] NewBiew: you will have to do that through there domains administration page. Alternatively he himself can modify his /etc/hosts file which will affect just his computer [10:29] azlon: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER [10:29] irc_irc: are you creating a bootable usb? [10:29] azlon: type your password to authenticate sudo, then the same pass for the samba passwords [10:29] ActionParsnip, do i replace $USER with a username or do i type exactly $USER/ [10:30] azlon: no need to replace it, $USER is the current user [10:30] indus: yes [10:30] azlon: it will result in the same thing anyway. [10:30] irc_irc: i suggest you try unetbootin, usbcreator is buggy [10:30] ziroday: could you gave me a tutor about this? a link perhaps ? [10:30] ActionParsnip, can i set a different password? like, enter my sudo pass, then enter a different password which will be required when accessing the share? [10:30] anyone else with 64bit jaunty having their sound die on them randomly? Iv got two very different machines both running it, and its happening to both. Only common factor between them is ALSA.. ideas? [10:30] azlon: its just means linux can use that instead of having to work out the active user, makes life tonnes easier [10:31] irc_irc: but i remember flannel giving you the link to pendrive linux, which is different from creating a bootable usb [10:31] azlon: sure, ive never used a different pass for it. if it doesnt work, use the same password [10:31] irc_irc: I'm not entirely sure. Can you back up the data temporarily just in case?

[11:13] irc_irc: install unetbootin on ubuntu then create bootable usb [11:13] ActionParsnip.-> grub says stage1 is on hd0,5 when there is only 4 partitions [11:13] wolf23: i dont know what it is so i couldnt say, have a websearch and se what it is [11:14] perscitus: number starts from zero thats why 0,1,2,3,4 [11:14] indus: ok, but what may be the reason for not getting the 2.5gb partition in windows? [11:14] irc_irc: what format is it? [11:14] perscitus: an extended volume counts as a partition, I think [11:14] yes, but i don't speak english very well and i won't disturb...thank you i go in ubuntu italia [11:14] indus.-> uh i am away of this. [11:14] perscitus: weird, unless grub counts the extended partition with a partition number [11:14] matrioska: ok but it might be empty [11:14] matrioska: like all those local irc channels [11:15] perscitus: then it would only go up to 0,4 [11:15] Hello, i have samba setup as a wins server, but when i go from my windows box to ubuntu with \\ubuntu\ it cannot find it. Ping reveals its trying to connect to 192.168.1.113 while the ip of \\ubuntu\ is 192.168.1.1. How to fix this? [11:15] ActionParsnip.-> I got NTFS, unallocated, extended, swap, ext3.. in that order [11:15] mtlife: add an entry in the hosts file is one way. and set the server to use static ip [11:15] hi to all [11:15] hi [11:16] ActionParsnip.-> So thats only 4 if you count unallocated too [11:16] indus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/260258/ [11:16] mickster04: hello [11:16] perscitus: maybe the unallocated space has a number in grub? I dont play with grub much as i only single boot [11:16] irc_irc: what is this [11:16] perscitus: what is the problem [11:16] how do indus:D [11:16] mickster04: super :) good to see u [11:16] indus: after partition the pendrive fat32 [11:16] ActionParsnip.-> stage1 is the boot file in /boot/grub?

[11:17] ActionParsnip, ok thanx too much dude :) [11:17] i need an help with a bash script that i'm writing. I need to pass the output of a `ls` to a select. So i store the ls to VAR and then pass it to the select. The problem is with 2 worded directory that appear in 2 rows. Can someone help me? === greyz is now known as greyz|bbl [11:17] ActionParsnip.-> so I could just install grub to hd0,5 then [11:17] wolf23: np ma, let you r system run for a week or so [11:17] irc_irc: so 2 fat 32 partitions ? [11:17] hey guys, remember on the run up to jaunty, they had this http://www.ubuntu.com/files/countdown/904/countdown-9.04-1/countdown.html countdown graphic you could drop onto your homepage,, Wondering if one is coming out for Karmic [11:17] wolf23: if all is well, you can delete the file you copied to your home directory [11:17] Every time I disconnect a mobile broadband connection I get a couple of argus processes starting that take 50% cpu ( dual core system ). Anyone have any ideas why? [11:17] indus: yes [11:17] perscitus: makes sense to me [11:17] perscitus: yes you can if u wish [11:18] perscitus: but i prefer just device mbr [11:18] perscitus: setup (hd0) [11:18] Google does not help, or my fu is weak. [11:18] irc_irc: in windows you dont see it? [11:18] indus: yes [11:18] irc_irc: why dont you use this from ubuntu and create it? [11:18] ActionParsnip: i found it out myself, a restart of the bind9 server did it [11:18] ActionParsnip, i didnot continue install openafs i close it coz i dont know how to configure it? :( [11:18] ActionParsnip.-> uh, unrecognized dev string [11:19] ActionParsnip, but delete the file copied? which one? [11:19] irc_irc: you in ubuntu now correct? [11:19] wolf23: then i'd find out what it is, if its uneeded, uninstall it [11:19] indus: bcaz i did not install unetbootin in ubuntu [11:19] wolf23: ~/open [11:19] irc_irc: well, just install it then, its only 1 mb [11:20] irc_irc: sudo apt-get install unetbootin [11:20] perscitus: read the grub factoid dude. it will tell you way more than i can [11:20] perscitus: whats the problem you facing man? [11:20] oops my bad [11:20] perscitus: i solve your problem in 3 steps [11:21] irc_irc: installed? [11:21] indus.-> I use setup (hd0,5) ? [11:21] perscitus: no use setup (hd0) [11:21] ActionParsnip, yes if it not needed or uneeded tell me plz :) [11:21] indus.-> not going on mbr [11:21] perscitus: why not? [11:21] indus.-> another bootloader there [11:22] perscitus: which one [11:22] indus.-> doesnt matter [11:22] indus: yes [11:22] Hi hi, does anyone know of a way to get Rhythmbox to repeat a track instead of repeating the whole playlist? Some of my songs have the same names, but one might be a remix, so I can't just use the search tool to do it all. [11:22] perscitus: lol ok then setup (hd0,anywher u like) [11:22] irc_irc: so open the software and se your partition? [11:23] cowiecow: repeat button? [11:23] wolf23: sudo apt-get --purge remove openafs-client [11:23] wolf23: then read the screen, see what is going to ALSO be removed [11:23] tech question from a tech newbie - If I buy an IDE DVD writer from ebay can I just assume It'll be possible to get it working on my desktop? [11:23] I have a resident computer-geek who can help me get it installed, I just don't want him to take a look at it and go 'oooo, you should have got a different one' [11:23] Dougal: all drives have IDE :) [11:23] * Dougal nods [11:23] indus: yes, it's working in linux ,but interesting , why isn't it working in windows? [11:23] Dougal: drives and IDEs use ISO standards so will be fine [11:23] ActionParsnip: hmm really, all newer ones aer SATA [11:24] indus: Well, the repeat button is a Repeat Playlist, not a Repeat Track/Repeat One Song. [11:24] indus: ide == itegrated drive electronics [11:24] irc_irc: well,gparted isnt perfect [11:24] ActionParsnip.-> smartaleck [11:24] ActionParsnip: hmm so its not a standard? [11:24] ActionParsnip, i got this when i do installing transmission --> Building module: [11:24] cleaning build area....(bad exit status: 2) [11:24] ./configure --with-linux-kernel-headers=/lib/modules/2.6.28-15-generic/build && make && mv src/libafs/MODLOAD-*/openafs.ko [11:24] ActionParsnip: IDE fits into mine, it's a very old one. Could there be problems with drivers? [11:24] indus: what do you mean , bug in gparted ?? [11:24] indus: the littel chip that gives drive cache etc. Old drives that were not IDE relied entirely on the controller [11:24] Dougal.-> use PATA instead of IDE [11:24] Dougal: the kernel will handle it [11:24] ActionParsnip, except the ones that are SATA [11:24] FishermansEnemy: sata have ides too [11:25] irc_irc: not bug,but cant say where lies the problem, i have gparted failing to recognise my partitions sometimes [11:25] irc_irc: diferent software work differnetly when creating partitions [11:25] FishermansEnemy: scsi drives have ides too [11:25] ActionParsnip: iam talking about the interface IDE [11:25] indus: is there any other software except gparted to partition drive? [11:25] ActionParsnip, I bow before your experience. [11:25] HI can some help me with rsync [11:26] ActionParsnip.-> oh stop [11:26] irc_irc: qtparted i think [11:26] i did read the man and i give the command correctly [11:26] ActionParsnip, Reading state information... Done [11:26] Package openafs-client is not installed, so not removed [11:26] indus: ok [11:26] indus: thank you [11:26] FishermansEnemy: its a common mistake but is understood by all. i just like nit picking it ;) [11:26] how do i change the top bar on gnome also to awm manager ? [11:26] but i do get the error "ssh: Could not resolve hostname http: Name or service not known" ?? [11:27] what is wrong ?? [11:27] wolf23: no problem then: simply run: sudo apt-get -f install [11:27] hi! i just followed the system update, which updated my exaile, now the multimedia keys wont fast forward, pause songs etc... any deas? [11:27] wolf23: to make sure everything is square [11:27] hello is there somewhere a list of ubuntu-compatible laptop? [11:27] wolf23: if you see all 0s you win the prize [11:27] ActionParsnip.-> wouldnt it be easier to assume when people say ide drive, then mean PATA? [11:27] !hcl > yva [11:27] yva, please see my private message [11:27] !laptop [11:27] Easier, but not as fun ;) [11:27] Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [11:28] hey. smartctl shows my Seek_Error_Rate of one of my hard drives to be quite a high value. do I need to be concerned? [11:28] (I'm interested in the acer aspire 7738G) [11:28] ActionParsnip, just paste this sudo apt-get -f install???

It should be simple, since all firnuture and the room i rectangular [11:28] yva: the acer aspire one ZG5 works 100% out of the box with NBR 9.04 [11:28] rohdef: wrong channel [11:28] wolf23: sure if you wish [11:28] rohdef: You could use inkscape.... [11:28] indus: No it's not [11:28] rohdef: or maybe not [11:28] ya sorry missed it [11:28] hehe :) [11:28] heh sorry [11:29] rohdef: dia might have a furnature/room/etc library already, I'm not sure [11:29] ActionParsnip, Building dependency tree [11:29] Reading state information... Done [11:29] wolf23: use pastebin again dude [11:29] ActionParsnip, oh sorry [11:29] np :) [11:29] wolf23: just to clarify, you cant remove software you havent installed :) [11:29] Flannel, I'll try, thanks [11:29] indus, hehe it happens [11:30] No 7738G :( [11:30] rohdef: how about some 3d max type software? [11:30] rohdef: i seen autocad doing it sometimes ,these builders [11:30] rohdef: looks like xfig might be a good lead too, xfig-libs includes furniture stuff [11:30] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/m63cfc369 [11:30] indus, too complicated, but a possibility, I have no need for the z-factor [11:31] rohdef: kk [11:31] rohdef: so 2d [11:31] indus, ah ok thanx [11:31] indus, yup that's best, I think I got some good shots at what I can use now [11:31] hi, after yesterday's update of the mono packages we have lost the nfs-home-s, Why? [11:31] Flannel, thankks a lot :) [11:31] *thanks [11:31] indus: How would I get Rhythmbox to Repeat Track? [11:31] wolf23: o kyou are set: sudo apt-get upgrade and you are good to run [11:31] ActionParsnip> No problem with only part of the ram detected? [11:32] cowiecow: there is a repeat button in it [11:32] indus: I know, but it repeats the whole playlist, doesn't it? Not one song. [11:32] cowiecow: but u already seen it iam sure' [11:32] yva: it detects al the ram i the acer. What do you mean> [11:32] cowiecow: no move it to playqueue [11:32] Ehh. [11:32] cowiecow: then repeat [11:33] indus: I guess. So it won't work like iTunes or Banshee. [11:33] cowiecow, can you not just select the song and play it by itself? [11:33] ActionParsnip> I read somewhere that only 3 out of 4 G of ram was detected under 9.04 with the 7738G [11:33] cowiecow: in banshee how does it work? [11:33] ActionParsnip, now i open transmission, is there to edit anything on preference like in yours :) [11:33] cowiecow: banshee is better anyways [11:33] indus: You have three options: Repeat One, Repeat All, and No Repeat. I think it's better, but it lags on me at times... Have you used Exaile? [11:33] yva: if a system has > 4Gb ram then i advise 64bit OS [11:34] cowiecow: once i did but didnt stick to it much [11:34] mickster84: I can put it in the Play Queue, but that's it. It works very... oddly since it's only Repeat Trakc. [11:34] ActionParsnip> It has 4G [11:34] !exaile [11:34] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [11:34] mickster84: *Repeat List [11:34] ? [11:34] wolf23: its pretty much set, you can enable the web interface if you wish so you can manage the app from another system [11:34] !tab | cowiecow [11:34] cowiecow: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[11:34] cowiecow, im zero-four not eight-foiur [11:35] ActionParsnip, ok thanx dude :)) [11:35] mickster04: Oh. Oops. [11:35] cowiecow, its ok:D [11:35] ActionParsnip> why would a 64bits be required for > 4G of ram? [11:36] cowiecow, well if u just want to play one track anyway why use the who playlist? [11:36] ActionParsnip, surely you need a 64bit processor too? [11:36] mickster04: Because Rhythmbox doesn't give you that ability. I wish it would let me choose a song from the PLaylist and it would repeat that until I wanted to change songs. iTunes/Banshee/Listen-style. [11:36] cowiecow, whole* [11:37] cowiecow, oh i have never used rythmbox:D [11:37] cowiecow: exaile looks sleek doesnt it? [11:37] cowiecow: but mostly i use default apps [11:38] mickster04: xP Yeah... It's a decent player - it just is missing that Repeat Track deal. And that's a dealbreaker. [11:38] mickster04: indeed [11:38] cowiecow: if u move a song to play queue doesnt it repeat? [11:38] indus: Typically, I try to keep close to default apps, and particularly ones that are pointed out to by GNOME... But Rhythmbox sucks and for me, Firefox > Epiphany. x_x For some reason, Amarok doesn't work with me. [11:38] hmm true [11:39] yva: 32bit cpu cant handle more than 3Gb ram due to 32bit address registers [11:39] cowiecow: Oh. Uhhh... It would. But it's just that I'd rather have it like Banshee or something. x.x So much for default player. [11:39] yva: you wont find a system with more ram than the cpu can address, its just silly [11:39] yva: you can address more ram if you use PAE [11:39] ActionParsnip: I thought the limit was about 4 GB [11:39] *indus: Oh. Uhhh... It would. But it's just that I'd rather have it like Banshee or something. x.x So much for default player. [11:39] ActionParsnip> ok. but there a bunch of software not existing in the 64 bit version? [11:40] lstarnes: ive seen folks only gtting 3Gb so I advise 64bit personally [11:40] ActionParsnip> PAE? [11:40] I am trying to "ghost" my bootable compact flash card to another compact flash card (1st cf = /dev/sda1, 2nd cf = /dev/sdb1). I've ran "cat /dev/sda1 > /dev/sdb1". When I try to boot my 2nd cf card it goes to the bootloader it seems, but not further [11:40] any ideas? [11:40] yva: some dont (like ghastly skype and some game devs dont make 64 bit) but most do [11:40] will the next version of ubuntu have an updated kernel? [11:40] yva: websearch it, its quite complex [11:40] Innomen: yes [11:41] i have have problem with graphic card [11:41] !info linux-image karmic [11:41] ActionParsnip> Yep skype is one of the app I use the most [11:41] linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.31.7.18 (karmic), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all) [11:41] ActionParsnip: why is skype ghastly? [11:41] bjwe: are usb sticks complete twins? [11:41] ActionParsnip: its the best voip app on linux [11:42] yva: skype can run in 64bit. i hate skype and do not use it as it proprietary [11:42] ActionParsnip: aah for that [11:42] ActionParsnip: I have problem with graphic card. can yuu help me pls [11:42] indus: ekiga is another option. i just hate skype and broadcom and apple [11:42] ActionParsnip> sure it's running in 64 bits? [11:42] ActionParsnip: ekiga is downright pathetic, but its off topic now [11:42] yva: there are guides [11:42] arand: nope [11:42] arand: and they are CF cards [11:42] yva: it runs in 64 bit iam using it [11:43] Krenari: can you provide the output of: sudo lshw -C display | grep product [11:43] ActionParsnip: and they will drop it in future anyway [11:43] indus> excellent thanks [11:43] ActionParsnip: Aside from the open source factor of Ekiga, why would one prefer Ekiga? [11:43] yva: use the medibuntu packages for skype [11:43] indus> it alspo support the webcam? [11:43] cowiecow: i find ekiga to be the most hopeless of all defaults [11:43] product: RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] [11:43] product: RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (Secondary) [11:43] yva: yes it does [11:44] cowiecow: i support open source where i can. drivers and flash are also stuff i use but they just work better, there are thousands of voip softwares which work well [11:44] ActionParsnip, sorry but a little error, if i try to delete the folder copied from home, it shows : There was an error deleting kernel-2.6.28-15-generic-x86_64. permision denied [11:44] indus> ok just checking [11:44] !medibuntu [11:44] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [11:44] is there an arabic ubuntu-channel?

[11:44] indus> I don't have the 64 bit version yet [11:44] I want to buy a new laptop [11:44] wolf23: if you are deleting the folder we copied to your home folder you will need to run: gksudo nautilus then delete it, then close nautilus [11:45] yva: skype is 32 bit only, but it can be installed on a 64 bit OS [11:45] yva: 64 bit support will probably arrive late this year [11:45] indus: I noticed that when I played with it earlier... T_T [11:45] cowiecow: its just how i feel about 1 system being touted as "best" just because its used by most. Windows is a classic example here, as well as ipod / iphone [11:45] skype is thebest , and it doesnt need a poll to prove it [11:46] indus: many would agree, many would disagree [11:46] indus your prolly wrong on that one, i for one disagree [11:46] ActionParsnip: hmm not many would disagree iam sure [11:46] help me [11:46] ActionParsnip: Ah, yeah. I get what you mean. I thought initially you meant that Ekiga had a set of unique features that make it really strong even if it's an 'underdog' in terms of popularity. But I get what you mean. [11:46] mickster04: you are nobody :) just a spec [11:46] Any one know a tool to convert between compressed file formats? [11:46] I has the advantage og being compatible across platforms === xemacs is now known as marcel__ [11:47] mickster04: What do you use for VoIP on Linux? [11:47] indus: well most people use windows OS, maybe you should use that as they tink its best.... [11:47] skype is encrypted end to end for both video and voice, no ther voip app even exists that can do it [11:47] but the linux version is terrible wrt managing the sound etc [11:47] cowiecow, skype, doesnt mean its the best tho:p [11:47] i cant able to connect to net [11:47] mickster04: What do you prefer then? =P [11:48] ActionParsnip: mickster04 skype is encrypted end to end for both video and voice, no ther voip app even exists that can do it [11:48] any comments [11:48] none iam sure [11:48] !ot | indus [11:48] indus: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [11:48] :P [11:48] ya sorry [11:48] : [11:48] D [11:49] bhaskar_ what have you tried? [11:49] !ot | cowiecow [11:49] cowiecow, please see my private message [11:49] indus: i dont wear a tinfoil hat so that doesnt interest me [11:50] cowiecow, you ok? [11:50] ActionParsnip: hear is a tinfoil hat [11:50] indus: For me, the fact that Skype is written so that they can monitor your convo if they want (as evidenced by their allowing China to monitor connections in and out of the country) turns me off. Even if Skype never gives anyone the keys again, it's still easier for a cracker to get in, I would think, than a program that tries to keep -all- spying out. http://arstechnica.com/telecom/news/2009/07/russia-not-the-first-to-see-skype-as-a-security-th [11:50] mickster04: Maybe. I'm running on low sleep, lol. I'm a LITTLE loopy. [11:50] ActionParsnip: ware it [11:51] hi, i have a quiestion, added vsftpd deb pkg, and down know how to disable that stupid tate before file name, anny suggestions? [11:51] gogereaver: not othered [11:51] *bothered [11:51] misstyped date* [11:51] Oh yeah. I also started playing with a little amateur photography lately. I feel that as a library F-Spot doesn't do the trick very well (especially since I came from the Mac world, so I found Aperture and iPhoto VERY good for organizing my photos). Are there any other GTK-based deals that help out with this? I know digiKam exists for Qt/KDE, but I'd very much prefer something GTK. [11:51] ActionParsnip, where can i see transmission in which folder? [11:51] ActionParsnip: wjere all tinfoil hat we run linux [11:52] cowiecow: gtkam [11:52] gogereaver: I think you have linux mistaken for openbsd [11:52] lol [11:52] gogereaver: no need. i casually webbrowse and chat,super top secret [11:52] wolf23: the binary is in /usr/bin the rest of the app is scattered throughout the system [11:52] anyone have a solution for making movies.com work on ubuntu ? [11:53] grr off topic [11:53] wolf23: the default save location is the desktop, you can change this so your system is neater [11:53] ActionParsnip, if i open a torrent file it opens with deluge, how could i do with transmission? [11:53] !gtkam [11:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about gtkam [11:53] onexused: that depends which report you read [11:53] idan whats your problem with it? [11:54] Gnea: Does it have the ability to still touch them up a bit like F-Spot? Or is it strict library? [11:54] Any one know a tool to convert between compressed file formats? [11:54] wolf23: download a .torrent file to the desktop . right click it -> open with ->other program and select transmission and select remember this setting [11:54] wolf23: you can also change aps in firefox so that it is the default app to use [11:55] ActionParsnip, :) ok [11:55] cowiecow: i don't remember :) [11:55] cowiecow: you'll have to try it and see [11:55] Gnea: Aight. Thankies. [11:55] idan, ? whats the problem with it? [11:55] indus: I like the paranoid version : ) [11:55] cowiecow: I'm used to gimping them anyway [11:56] sort question, vsftpd on ubuntu uses date before file name by default, use_logcaltime=NO do not dissable this function, how to dissable theat date before file names? [11:56] Gnea: Yah. I mean, I could always GIMP/Photoshop/whatever them too, but having the ability to make subtle lighting, etc. changes as I need be without waiting for GIMP to open up would be MUCH nicer. [11:56] ActionParsnip, u can change apps in firefox, where is it :(( sorry but i cant see it [11:57] onexused: heh me too :) fun to read [11:57] hi [11:57] cowiecow: should i try exaile or banshee? [11:57] cowiecow: like I said, you'll have to try it out. if it doesn't have it, make a feature request or write it in yourself [11:57] where is the german ubuntu support? [11:57] Gnea: I don't think gtkam supports my model of camera. It's a Kodak V1073, so I'll probably go request it or figure something out. [11:58] itg, #ubuntu-de [11:58] thx [11:58] cowiecow: really? it works just fine on mine, since it uses libusb === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [11:58] indus: Try them both, I'd say. But for the record... exaile runs like Amarok, GTK edition. Banshee is very very iTunes-like in interface, although I prefer it over iTunes in some ways (aside from how iTunes CAN convert music and I don't know if Banshee can). [11:59] indus: My preferences is Banshee. My main gripe is the lag involved sometimes with the poor redrawing abilities of Banshee since it does its interface a LITTLE differently. [11:59] cowiecow: hrm, you're right, I don't see the V1073 in the list [12:00] Gnea: It's a fairly new camera. It wouldn't surprise me if it weren't there. It's a point-and-shoot too, so it's not one of the big boys. [12:00] * Gnea looksees [12:00] i installed the radeonhd driver, but when run the command 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "Direct rendering enabled"' it says "(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled" :( | Uhh :( i'm sure something went wrong [12:01] wolf23: edit -> perfs -> applications tab [12:01] Oh yeah, does anyone know a GTK equivalent of CoverSutra? I REALLY liked being able to just press a key and pull up everything with a keystroke to control my media. [12:01] cowiecow: ah, yeah, that line of the easyshares leaves a bit to be desired... does it take the picture right away, as soon as you press the button, or does it wait a second before actually taking it? [12:02] helo [12:02] helo [12:02] Gnea: Pretty much right away. I've actually been rather satisfied with it for the most part. [12:02] ActionParsnip, ok :) now thanx, and good helper [12:02] hi [12:03] Gnea: No wait or anything. My main gripe is that compared to my old Nikon Coolpix, the pictures aren't as sharp all the time. That Nikon Coolpix L6 got some REALLY sharp pictures. But the video quality of the Kodak V1073 managed to get HD video, so I liked it. Unfortunately, gtkam doesn't. D: [12:03] sort question, vsftpd on ubuntu uses date before file name by default, use_logcaltime=NO do not dissable this function, how to dissable theat date before file names? [12:03] cowiecow: cool. I've got a Z730 that's done pretty well. I was able to capture Jupiter, Mars and Vega with it recently. [12:03] Gnea: Really? I was thinking of getting one of the Z series earlier, but I ended up going for the V series. I hear lots of good things from the Z line though. === mtlife is now known as syllabear [12:04] cowiecow: that would be a really nice camera to be supported by libgphoto [12:04] Gnea, thats a pretty big net u have there:P [12:04] !ot [12:04] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [12:04] mickster04: enough :p [12:04] Gnea: Yeah, I get what you mean. lol [12:04] Okay... [12:04] :D [12:05] idan: What part of movies.com isn't working for you? [12:05] idan isnt here anymroe [12:05] hello , i would like to ask a question [12:05] i presume his flash player wasnt working [12:05] zebuduflea, but fo course [12:05] !ask [12:05] 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. :-) [12:05] Has anyone here heard of that one project about pidgin-webkit or whatever where they managed to port over Adium messagelists to Pidgin? Because I wanted to do that, but it seems like it doesn't work on newer versions - and on top of that I'm on amd64, not i386. D: [12:05] cowiecow: yeah, I would talk to the libgphoto people and see if there's a way they can work with you to get it supported: http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php [12:05] sort question, vsftpd on ubuntu uses date before file name by default, use_logcaltime=NO do not dissable this function, how to dissable theat date before file names? [12:05] Gnea: Thankies. [12:06] cowiecow: I mean, if I were you. :) [12:06] i just installed ubuntu on vmware, i have fedora already and i was wondering if unbuntu has the equivalent of "yum" in fedora ? [12:06] zebuduflea, what is yum? [12:06] zebuduflea: apt-get [12:06] zebuduflea > apt-get. [12:06] zebuduflea: or aptitude [12:07] mickster04: yum is redhat, fedora's package manager [12:07] zebuduflea: GUI choices are Synaptic Package Manager. Terminal choices are apt-get and aptitude. [12:07] o i c [12:07] thanks === fran is now known as Guest94765 [12:07] mickster04: yum for Fedora. apt-get/aptitude for Ubuntu. [12:07] danke schon [12:07] What is the difference between apt-get and aptitude? [12:07] mickster04: yum is the fedora equivalent of apt, but for installing rpms [12:07] zebuduflea > You're deutsch? [12:07] lol i get it now:D [12:07] Pythack: aptitude is more powerful. It's generally just better to use. [12:07] no, just speak a bit of deutch [12:07] deutsch* [12:07] Pythack: apt-get I think was there long and is simpler to use. But I prefer aptitude... When I'm not too lazy to type it. >_>; [12:08] anyone unsolved? [12:08] * leaf-sheep use aliases to install/purge/etc packages. :) [12:08] cowiecow > I've always use apt-get but I'll try to use aptitude. [12:08] pati [12:08] help [12:08] helo [12:09] hello aaron11 [12:09] Pythack: aptitude is a bit more high-level. Has a possible ncurses interface, and generally tells you more about what's being done. And has some oddity resolving features as well... [12:09] Pythack > To each their own. Aptitude's high point is that when you remove packages it'll also remove any dependencies that package had that are no longer being used anymore, which is nice. [12:09] i installed the radeonhd driver, but when run the command 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "Direct rendering enabled"' it says "(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled" :( | Uhh :( i'm sure something went wrong [12:09] mickster04 [12:09] mickster04 hi [12:09] !ask | aaron11, [12:09] aaron11,: 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. :-) [12:09] its nice, my installation has wget and gcc [12:09] :P [12:09] already [12:09] ? [12:09] wasnt the case on fedora [12:09] mickster04 i didnt ask a question [12:10] aaron11, well u wrote "help" [12:10] what i meant was helo [12:10] aaron11, oooh ok, hello ack [12:10] aaron11, oooh ok, hello back* [12:10] sort question, vsftpd on ubuntu uses date before file name by default, use_logcaltime=NO do not dissable this function, how to dissable theat date before file names?

[12:10] aaron11: this is an irc channel, not an smtp server :) [12:11] zebuduflea, use synaptics package manager?

Are there any set of plugins that you particularly like using? I have only a few, but I think a few more would be helpful to have. [12:12] i have ubuntu 9.04 and it almost eats up my entire 4 gig's of ram after running continuously for approx 1 week, my system config is amd athlon x2 dual core, 4 gig ram, asus motherboard, 500 gig hard disk, at the time i was checking the memory usage not a single application was running and in the top there are hardly any processes that would eat up that much ram, has anyone else faced the same kind of issue? [12:12] anyway bye [12:12] aruntomare, maybe you are hacked [12:12] aruntomar, it might be caching ram? [12:12] Which ZFs Version is current ported for the ubuntu rep [12:13] zebuduflea: i'm sure that my system is not hacked ;) [12:13] mickster04: how can i find the cache usage etc [12:13] :) [12:14] Is there a way to install i386 software on amd64 platforms? Like, I have an i386 package I can't find an amd64 of. [12:14] aruntomar, u know that ubuntu uses free ram to store stuff in for quick access, it isnt used as such just ready for use if need be and will be removed if and when a different program requessts it [12:14] !ram-caching [12:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about ram-caching [12:14] :/ [12:14] !cache Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:14] !cache > mickster04 [12:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about cache [12:15] hmm..brb [12:15] How can i copy something into terminal from windows, im using vmware to run unbuntu [12:16] How can i copy something into terminal from windows, im using vmware to run unbuntu [12:16] I have some knowledge in C, and I want to know how I can do for participate in GNU project? [12:16] zebuduflea: Does vmware have a "shared clipboard" or similar option? I'm not familiar with it. [12:17] zebuduflea: Copy whatever in VMWare, however VMWare told you to do it... Then Ctrl+Shift+V in Terminal. [12:17] zebuduflea: just copy it [12:17] ok, i will try contro-shit-v [12:18] there u go [12:18] zebuduflea: well i'm not very sure of vmware but in virtualbox once u install guest additions then you can seamlessly copy paste stuff from one vm to another [12:18] aruntomar, basically it probably isnt full, just has stuff cached, does it work slow ? [12:18] it doesnt work, ctrl-v or ctrl-shift-v [12:18] mickster04: when i open some other application its a bit slow [12:19] ? [12:19] im copying from windows to vmware box [12:19] and if it's caching then basically i would like to know or get the info about how much caching it's doing etc etc, how can i change those settings [12:19] aruntomar, do u have the system monitor in the task ar?

CD is fine === iPoRn is now known as o_portista17 [12:30] odahilys, so how do u go about formatting it? have you made a / partition too?

[12:31] yes @ zzeiss [12:31] odahilys: You might want to just do "take default partitioning" and see if that works. It will destroy anything on the disk, but it might fix the problem... [12:31] @ mick ; 4gb [12:31] odahilys, u dont need swap then [12:33] odahilys, but try the default option anyway:D [12:34] Trying [12:34] hello again! another quick question...how would i add a new user to a successive series of groups from the console?

[12:52] oh well thats wierd, you using the latest flash player [12:52] mickster04, up to date,so if the latest is in the repos, then yes. [12:53] kiaas_, hmm no idea then :/ i'm good for basic stuff, but if its sporadic like that...:/ [12:56] mickster04, I've had other problems recently. Gnome losing its theme, firefox crashing, X crashing, then the system locking up but no kernel panic... wondering if it's bad RAM, actually. But flash repeating the same fraction of a second for the entire audio is a pretty odd bug, and I don't encounter it when I run the windows version of flash and firefox under WINE.(I just get a bit of shearing on the video with that) [12:56] would anyone mind to check that this page loads ok http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/20860/ [12:57] Alexia: loads here [12:57] thanks nibbler === Deadly is now known as Guest55824 [12:58] nibbler, did you base your name on the futurama character Nibbler? [12:59] Alexia: yes [12:59] nibbler, I love that show [12:59] loaded for me too [12:59] nibbler, well i better not talk about it or they will ask me to move to offtopic lol [12:59] mickster04, thanks [12:59] Alexia: love it too, but yep... back to ubuntu :) === JohannesSM64 is now known as Johannes` [13:01] I cant believe how quiet it is in here right now === Johannes` is now known as JohannesSM64 [13:02] It happens.

[13:03] Kingsy102, alt+f2 xkill [13:04] thanks [13:04] yw [13:04] Alexia: Ubuntu perse no, but KDE and GNOME do have UIGs [13:05] does gnome stand for gnu is not the only mac emulator [13:05] lol [13:05] Wow ubuntu is developing an app store of their own, I think this is great [13:06] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareStore?action=show&redirect=AppCenter if you want to influence how it will be designed I recommend you go to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/18538/ [13:06] Alexia: Ubuntu doesn't have its own GUI -- it uses GNOME (or KDE on Kubuntu), and so GNOME's guidelines apply - http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/ [13:06] Alexia: http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/ [13:06] LordMetroid, Yep its definitely exciting [13:06] Thanks graw and Uber [13:06] when the screensaver is activated with password protection, is there any way a potential attacker could gain control over the computer without having the password and *without* restarting the computer? does CTRL+ALT+<- work? [13:06] Alexia: Gnu Network Object Model Environment or something [13:06] onexused, i know i was just being silly [13:07] Alexia: Ah. I must be tired : ) [13:07] loop8, not that i know of [13:07] loop8: Yes, you can switch virtual consoles with Ctrl-Alt-F1/F2/F3/... [13:07] loop8: But they also require a password. [13:08] grawity: yup, they also require a password. [13:08] loop8, but there are probably exploits for remote access via a network interface, no system is ever 100% secure [13:08] Alexia, I think this can be a big break-through for the Ubuntu userbase, specially if they allow commercial software repositories to be added [13:09] LordMetroid, I think so too, it will be nice to see it when it opens. I hope it will be somewhat like the appstore on the i-phone [13:09] I hope it will be better [13:09] I want it decentralized [13:10] first thing I will uninstall [13:10] LordMetroid, oh you mean not controlled by just one authority? [13:10] Yes [13:10] I just hope it's made with mono, that way I'll purge'em alltogether [13:10] I added two suggestion on how to do this in the brainstorm page [13:10] LordMetroid, i wonder if it will end up being like download.com in an application [13:11] s/altogether/alltogether === ghost is now known as Guest18927 [13:12] hey [13:12] hi [13:12] i still dont really understand what makes it different from synaptic though [13:12] Alexia, probably a means to pay for it built in. [13:12] for some reason only one program can use audio at once, for some reason (or something) is there a fix? [13:13] kiaas_, well if it ends up offering commercial linux software all in one place that will be great [13:13] hienvh, I'm trying to install ubuntu 9.04 on a HP mini 2133, I created a bootable usb stick with unetbootin but I can't boot from it on the netbook, what could the problem be? [13:13] kiaas_, but if its just another download manager it would be a waste of time [13:14] zopiac: ALSA programs dont' do that. Only old OpenSoundSystem (OSS) programs do, afaik. [13:14] struggling to upgrade / update openoffice 3.0 to 3.1 :( [13:14] no0tic, did you set the computer to load from usb in the bios? [13:14] Alexia, yes [13:14] like, if i open rhythmbox, i can hear it, but if i open audacity after it i cant hear it, and vice versa [13:14] no0tic, how far do you get? does it load at all? [13:14] hienvh, sorry, I meant "hi" :) [13:15] onexused: well i have my sound preferences set to ALSA... === am4zin is now known as amazin [13:15] Alexia, no, it doesn't load from usb, it boots directly into the installed grub [13:16] no0tic, hehe its ok,hello you too :) [13:16] no0tic: on my netbooks i got to hit F12 to tell it to boot from USB [13:16] no0tic, have you tried recreating the bootdisk again? or a seperate bootable usb? [13:16] Alexia, no0tic: i have tried esc on an eeePC to get it working [13:16] Dr_Willis, on this one is F9, and I told it to boot from usb [13:16] zopiac, Oh i didnt know that netbooks required you to do that,, Thanks [13:16] no0tic ive also had issues with some machines and usb flash drive combox in the past. Try the flash on other machines, and try other flash disks on that machine. [13:17] some might, i dont know if all do though [13:17] zopiac, for telling me [13:17] how to restore Ubuntu into its factory settings ?? well, i think i messed up with Radeon and RadeonHD, and now when i login, a White Screen comes and overlaps/hiding everything xcept the mouse :( cant do anything ? how to get over this situation ??? [13:17] Alexia, I first tried copying the iso with dd directly on the device, nothing. then using unetbootin and the iso I downloaded, nothing. then unetbooting making it download the iso from its menu [13:18] zopiac, im suprised there isnt a page about that on the ubuntu netbook remix website [13:18] no0tic: You did partition/format the device back fo fat16 after trying to dd it with that iso? [13:18] no0tic: you could also try the ubuntu netbook remix img and 'dd' it to the device. [13:18] Dr_Willis, no [13:18] what does dd mean? deliver to disk? [13:18] Dr_Willis, the remix release is know not to work well on this hardware [13:18] no0tic: i would use gparted to repartition/format it back to a sane state then try unetbootin again. [13:18] Alexia: i found it out on the easy peasy irc, iirc [13:19] zopiac, lol [13:19] zopiac, Well Gawlee lol [13:19] zopiac, lol i still cant believe people ever talked like that rofl [13:19] Dr_Willis, ok, I'll try.. strange thing is that the netbook doesn't even tell me that the usb disk is not bootable [13:20] hi, does apache2 have a lockfile or something? [13:20] it complains not being able to bind to port 80 === Zathara_OFF is now known as Zathara [13:21] but when I check with netstat nothing comes up as being bound to :80 [13:21] no0tic: dding an iso file to a flash drive may confuse all sorts of things. [13:25] I have a .cue file , does anyone know which application opens it? [13:25] gangil: no .bin to go with it? [13:26] cue/bin = a optical disk 'image' format. [13:26] yeah .bin too [13:26] gangil: cdrdao [13:26] Brasero Disc Burner? [13:26] will that work? [13:26] hallo, my sound effects are much too low and I can't turn it up (the mixer has no effect). what's wrong? [13:26] theres tools that can mount it, or you can burn it. k3b i think canburn them also. Or covnert it to ISO then most anything can burn it. [13:26] Can anyone give me update simple instruction on getting online via a cable modem witht he latest version of Ubuntu Desktop please? [13:26] how to restore Ubuntu into its factory settings ?? well, i think i messed up with Radeon and RadeonHD, and now when i login, a White Screen comes and overlaps/hiding everything xcept the mouse :( cant do anything ? how to get over this situation ??? help [13:27] reload [13:27] Just need to set up a connection. is there a wizard at all? [13:28] GPL: you could try removeing/moving the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.GOOFEDUP and restatrt X and see if that kicks it in the head. :) Or check out the fix X feature thats in the recovery boot menu (never tried that) [13:28] Nobody? [13:28] Glib: my cable modem.. i just plug the network cable into the pc.. set pc to use DHCP and away it goes. [13:28] "set pc to use dhcp" [13:28] how can i update my gnome from 2.24.1 to 2.26.1 ( i'm using Ubuntu 8.10 ) [13:28] Glib: or Plug it into my router.. and pcs to the router. [13:28] Glib: sudo dhclient eth0 [13:28] DHCP is the default i belive also. [13:29] Yup, tried that command, no leases obtained. [13:29] can anybody help with my sound problems? [13:29] hi again ! [13:29] Glib: does it work in windows? did it work with a different machine? has it ever worked? [13:29] Dr_Willis: actually i already tried that, problem is, it logins well, but after about 13/14 seconds , when the wallpaper and panels all get visible, a white screen comes up and hides everything :( [13:29] Windows just works. [13:29] Yeah, windows works fine, no problems./ [13:29] can someone know how to display a text file in shell in color ? [13:29] GPL: make a new user see if it affects them. Does the GDM login screen work? [13:29] I'm using the connection to connect to this chat room. [13:30] sybux: theres 'colorizing' tools out there depending on your needs. [13:30] hey, I can't see my windows partition :( [13:30] Dr_Willis: it's affecting all the users, it's something related with radeonhd the driver i installed and then restarted my comp. [13:30] Dr_Willis: I just want to cat a file and see the result in color [13:30] The network card in the ubuntu box works fine - it can be connected to the hub and see other LAN machines just fine, using the same cable. [13:30] distnhave you made sure every available slider is turned up? including the ones not shown by default? [13:31] You'd think there'd be step by step instructions somewhere online for this. [13:31] sybux: then you just print out some color 'escape' code or put it at the start of the text file. [13:31] Dr_Willis: I've try t insert ansi code in my text file but ot dosen't work [13:31] sybux: the 'bash prompt howto' has some info on those codes. [13:31] I have used magic ISO , I dont want to burn the s/w to a disc , can't I browse it directly from BRasero and install it? [13:31] distant_voice, you made sure every available slider is turned up? including the ones not shown by default? [13:31] Dr_Willis: i even dont know, how to get on the CUI interface of Ubuntu, to try configuring the driver a bit [13:31] mickster04: it worked before and now it doesn't. every slider is at max, but they don't seem to have any effect [13:31] GPL: so the gdm login screen dosent work either then you are saying? [13:32] distant_voice, what has changed inbetween? [13:32] Dr_Willis, do you know how can update Gnome 2.24.1 to 2.26.1 ? ( it's appears as the latest in my Package Manager ) [13:32] IonutB: use thepacakge manger to upgrade/update - is the normal way... [13:32] mickster04: nothing, I might have installed updates, but that would be all [13:32] Nobody then? [13:32] Dr_Willis, i have Ubuntu 8.10 :) [13:32] Drwillis : actually yes, GDM login screen works [13:32] what can I do to make my windows partition show up? [13:32] Seems like a farely elementary problem. [13:32] :-/ [13:33] GPL: hmmm.. it Could be a compiz issue.. You could try installing icewm (for example) and see if you can select that at GDM and login properly [13:33] distant_voice, what sliders have you got up? and what system are you using? [13:33] Windows has Internet connection wizards and stuff, so that people don't have to become experts int he operating system to do somethign as simple as get online. [13:33] mickster04: I can change the master volume with keys on my keyboard. that new graphic (the one that was new with 9.04) comes up but it has absolutely no effect. [13:33] Dr_Willis: how to do that ? [13:33] Glib: i think you need to dig a little more into trouble shooting. It sounds like it may just be a DHCP/DNS/gateway issue. [13:33] I'm on ubuntu/gnome 9.04 [13:33] GPL: 'sudo apt-get install icewm' then restart X/GDM and select icewm at the login screen [13:33] IN what sense? [13:34] Dr_Willis: i am logged in with a Live USB [13:34] I mean, I plug the cable into the windows box - works, plug it into the linux box - doesnt. [13:34] <_tj> how can I tell if i can SSH into my box from outside the network? [13:34] Glib: try pinging google.com, then try pinging its IP#. is a good 'test' [13:34] It's brand spanking fresh instal. [13:34] I've done that. [13:34] i cant get my ubuntu to display colour on my pal crt tv :( [13:34] Glib: ah... you dident say you were switching machines.. :) i thouhg you were dual booting [13:34] sudo dhcpd eth0 offers no lease. [13:34] windows7 displays colour but ubuntu wont [13:34] #ubuntu [13:34] distant_voice, wat pc/laptop? [13:35] No, 2 machines. [13:35] neither will opensuse for that matter [13:35] _tj: by doing it [13:35] Glib: on my OLD isp. each time i changed machines i HAD to go to a special 'activate this machine' Web site to get the machine 'ok'd for my isp [13:35] Dr_Willis, do you know if intel x3100 still has problems on Ubuntu 9.04 ? [13:35] i have a 7600gt video card [13:35] <_tj> eh [13:35] <_tj> i dont have a way.. [13:35] my sound card is on board, it's a normal desktop pc [13:35] That isn't required in this instance. [13:35] _tj: how about connecting to your public IP? [13:35] Glib: Not sure if thats your issue or not. Its one of the reasons i got a router. less hassles. [13:35] Athlon 3800+, Nvidia graphics card, 2GB ram... what do you want to know? [13:35] hello anyone can inform whether linux mint support ntfs system === daBomb|Not-Here is now known as Chazz [13:36] I'm seting up this ubuntu machien to be a router/firewall. [13:36] !mint [13:36] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang) [13:36] kiran_: mosta ll distros do these days. [13:36] Dr_Willis: is there some way, to get in the CUI ? [13:36] kiran_: yes [13:36] distant_voice, thatll do [13:36] Dr_Willis: I can't find what I need. I just want to display the motd in color (not all, only some parts) [13:36] gpl the grub menu has a rescue/recvovery option normally [13:36] distant_voice, i basically have little idea.... [13:36] sybux: then you will have to figure out how to embed some escape codes. [13:36] Dr_Willis: thanks, i ll be back shortly [13:37] too bad. I can hear sound, but it's very faint. sometimes when I boot it's normal, other times it's like this [13:37] this is frustrating [13:37] distant_voice, sorry [13:37] Is there really no a step by step guide somewhere? [13:37] mickster04 thx anyway [13:37] People are exptected to just know? [13:37] Dr_Willis: I've embed escape code but cat display escape code in stead of color :( [13:37] distant_voice, is there a program u run that may effect the sound? or have some control over it? [13:37] This is why windows kicks linuxes ass. [13:37] Glib: there are only 2. steps: "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" and "sudo dhclient eth0" [13:38] Glib: why not state your issue, tell us what you have tried and stop your whining [13:38] do you think maybe movie player might screw my mixer up? [13:38] for ranting and raving about windows please go to ##windows [13:38] Glib: you might also need to power off for a few sec.. the cable modem while switching machines. [13:38] distant_voice, try and make sure that the volume is turned up on that when you close it see if that has an effect yes in other words [13:38] Erm, why not be so rude, and notice that I have been stating the issue. [13:38] you know that new thingy in the upper right corner that displays stuff like "new mail" and also the volume and stuff? [13:38] Glib: because you can't figure out how to use it? [13:39] when i try to turn the volume up with my keyboard keys it comes up and the slider changes but the volume doesn't [13:39] what because I can't figure out how to use it? [13:39] sybux: perhaps check -> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/adding-colors-to-your-motd-105038/ [13:39] that makes me thing something more basic is wrong [13:39] !unet | arvind_k [13:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about unet [13:39] *think [13:39] Glib: I'm not scrolling back 2000 lines you need help then ask us again, politely [13:40] I don't need your help idleone, you're rude, leave me alone. [13:40] a pastebin summary of the entire setup is often helpfull also. [13:40] distant_voice, no idae then, try manually doing it if u can to see if that works? [13:40] Glib, please be civil [13:40] I try install a gl 2.0.1 but at the end I give Connection Reset by Peer(10054) if I connect outside the ftp on local all work fine [13:40] any help? [13:40] ya I tried, but to no avail [13:40] Glib: good luck. you can't get your machine online but it's going to be a router/firewall :) [13:40] mickster04, well, I'm outta here. thank you [13:40] I have been entirely civil. That's the guy who just told me I was whinning. [13:40] sybux: also rember the motd is generated on the fly at boot time. You may need to set up rc.local to 'remake it properly' wity your color codes [13:40] !net [13:40] Glib, please restate your issue [13:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about net [13:41] distant_voice have you tried changing the device that the keyboard is controlling in admin--> sound prefferances?

[13:42] sudo dhclient eth0 has no luck in finding a lease. [13:43] What do you mean by that? [13:43] Glib: few modems will just plugin and work, you'll have to setup the authentication most probabably [13:43] ikonia [13:43] ikonia: not with cable-modems [13:43] What do you mean by that? [13:43] Glib: when you connect to your ISP it normally wants a username/password to verify you are allowed to use the connection [13:43] HOW to install metacity themes [13:43] Question, is it necessary to shutdown running programs before running updates? [13:43] can someone help me with Connection Reset by Peer(10054) ? [13:43] Dr_Willis: yep me too. just have to find now how to write it as I want and not in command line ! [13:43] Xerran: no [13:43] Okay, and where to entire that username and password? [13:43] Xerran, no [13:43] Xerran: you'll be warned if it's a problem [13:43] ikonia: authentication is done inside modem (cable-isp uses modem-MAC) [13:43] ikonia, that's usually for DLS modems though [13:43] cryptobeacon: thx [13:44] ikonia, is that what he using ? [13:44] Critical_Threat: while I agree, this is worth checking [13:44] ikonia: thx [13:44] Yeah, I never needed to do that for the windows machine. [13:44] bazhang: thx [13:44] for dial-up sure, but this is cable. [13:44] sybux: make rc.local 'generate' the motd at boot time with the proper commands.. working with the escape/color codes can be a real annoyance. [13:44] ikonia, yes it is [13:44] Glib, are you hot plugging the cable modem line? or starting with it plugged in already [13:44] I never entered any passwords or did any authentication for windows. [13:44] Hot plugging. [13:44] Hmm.. My ISP dosent have a username/pass :) well not for the pc conecting.. [13:45] Glib: ok - so lets move away from the authentication area as a problem [13:45] this sucks, i gotta jet for work now.. argh. :( [13:45] BUt i do have to power off the cable modem if i change machines I recall. [13:45] Critical_Threat: irc from work! [13:45] Glib, and have you tried starting up with the cable modem connected, ie not hot plugging?

Iv got two very different machines both running it, and its happening to both. Only common factor between them is ALSA.. restarting ALSA doesnt solve it, but reboot the machines does. Suggestions? [13:46] sybux: use sed/awk/perl to alter the file i guess... [13:46] sybux: or do it once... save it to a file where it works.. Good luck.. personally I do 'touch .hushlogin' so i never even see teh MOTD. :) [13:46] Dr_Willis: good answer. Thx [13:46] Tip of the Day 'touch .hushlogin' and no more annoying MOTD. :) [13:46] Anyone using the package alarm-clock that has had it actually make a repeating noise at a specified time?

[13:48] PATH="$PATH:/new/path/var" [13:48] sorry , I dont rem correctly :) [13:49] gangil: well at the end.. it adds bin to the path. :) you could alter that and add more to it there.

I found this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1193567), under the section "Flash Replacements".. Can anyone help me reprogram it to function with Gnome-Mplayer. And make it work with every swf, mpg - flash stuff that is around? [13:49] gangil: is one way.. if in .profile i dont ththink the export is needed. [13:49] b3rz3rk3r: Yes, I haven't heard it once, and when I do wake up it isn't making any noise. The first thing I did was play a song, which works perfectly. I have it set to constant volume, infinite repetitions. No sound coming out. [13:49] to make this permanent , I should add it to .profile? [13:50] gangil: yes.. or .bashrc [13:50] sed question: "sed -i -e 's/ChangeThis/ToThisFoo' Bar.txt" is great for quickly searching and replacing within files, but what if "ChangeThis" occurs twice on the same line? Sed will only replace the first occurance on any given line, is there an easy way to make it replace all occurances found? [13:50] b3rz3rk3r: I'm very hard of hearing / working two jobs, It's very important that's it's loud, annoying, and repetative. [13:50] To play an mp3, I typically type 'mplayer foo.mp3'. Now I want to output the sound to /dev/dsp1 - how can I do that with mplayer? [13:50] Lord_Devi: i recall some sed faq/examples pages mentioning that .. but thats all i rember on teh topic. :() === guignol is now known as theatro [13:51] Rabbitbunny, i dont use inf repeat, so maybe that is causing you problems? I have maxed out volume, playing a song by machinehead with a full passive window overlay, been waking up to it for about 4-5 months now [13:51] Rabbitbunny, try cranking the volume and playing a longer song once instead [13:52] b3rz3rk3r: M'kay, that could work. Thanks. [13:52] Rabbitbunny, no prob [13:53] i need some help for installing Joomla.. can you help me???? [13:53] heh. i just did that [13:53] is there any builtin method to access desktop of another ubuntu machine? [13:53] nsahoo, remote desktop [13:53] nsahoo: yes. :) its built in.. ;) [13:53] talntid: isn't that only to access windows method? [13:53] Lord_Devi, there is global flag, i guess g, read the man pages [13:53] Rabbitbunny, you could also try something irritating too.. such as police siren sound effects or the frog on his motorbike ringtone :p [13:53] talntid: windows machine [13:53] nsahoo: using the remote-desktop over the internet - is proberly not a good idea. its using vnc thats not very secure. [13:54] nsahoo: there are vnc clients/servers for windows also. [13:54] b3rz3rk3r: I used a car alarm before. [13:54] Guys can you help me with Joomla?

Thanks, I'll try it I guess [13:54] i just need someone who explains me how to install it [13:55] sicked: i wonder if anyone in here even knows what it is. [13:55] talntid: Dr_Willis: so, what do I need to do on the remote ubuntu machine? [13:55] nsahoo, id say use SSH, or if you want something like VNC/RDP use FreeNX.. i like that too, its based on SSH too. check it out [13:55] Dr_Willis: Windows or Joomla?? :) [13:55] nsahoo: system->preferances->remote_desktop === arvind_k is now known as arvind_khadri [13:55] anyone knows how I can get my windows partition show up in ubuntu? === Kryzler_ is now known as Kryzler [13:55] arvind_khadri: Aha! "s/foo/bar/g" =) I see I see, thanks again [13:56] nsahoo: then on the other box use a vnc viweer and tell it the ip/port of the ubuntu box. 192.168.1.211:0 (or similer) [13:56] Lord_Devi: Hmm.. I use that all the time in vi. :) [13:56] Lord_Devi, np , :) [13:56] can you add a text only (no icon) launcher to the panel? [13:56] Dr_Willis: thanks, is there a command name to launch that preference window? remote machine is remote now [13:57] Dr_Willis: I use s/foo/bar/ all the time in vi, but I've never bothered to figure out that global flag yet.. [13:57] nsahoo: Not that i know of. You got to be on the local box and logged in for it to get enabled.. [13:57] is there a program to move the mouse with the arrow keys? my touchpad s broken [13:57] Dr_Willis: vino-preferences [13:57] nsahoo: as an alterantive you can ssh in, install a vncserver, and configure it.. but that does NOT share the 'current running [13:57] nsahoo: as an alterantive you can ssh in, install a vncserver, and configure it.. but that does NOT share the 'current running desktop [13:57] vino >hic< ;) [13:58] Dr_Willis: turns out the ssh server is not runnin there either .. oh well [13:58] or, run the programs via ssh -X ;) [13:58] * Dr_Willis wonders at these names of some of these commands... [13:58] and/or can I add another top level menu item (along with apllications, places, and system)? [13:58] nsahoo: its rather locked down then. :) [13:58] Dr_Willis: new install [13:58] nsahoo: its VERY locked down then [13:58] i deleted my files while using fsck.

[16:00] Guest30081: what happens when you run e.g. htop [16:01] Guest30081: maybe every core you have is dual core :P [16:01] nothing has changed since the install. [16:01] sayanriju, or legend2440, that seems to have installed, now what? [16:01] Boops, heh yeah, it's a problem. It's not really an OS for people who aren't too bright. [16:01] may be a kernel upgrade, but it ppears like that in the older kernel as well.

[16:02] Guest30081: kernel version? dual core amd64 shows normally here [16:03] barnsey, +1 again [16:03] barnsey, what exactly is your problem? [16:03] barnsey: I disagree... For most desktop users' needs, I've found Ubuntu to require less configuration than Windows, not more. [16:03] but is says something like mkdir: cannont create directory "Vmware tools : read-only file system [16:03] kernel is 2.6.28-14-generic [16:03] qwyeth same,but I'm not the one complaining.

[16:04] MikeSeth, i have an access to VPN (IPREDator) i know through what server to connect, etc, what i don't know is where to do that on ubuntu. "Network Connections" dialogue has VPN tab, but the "Add" button (and all other buttons) are disabled [16:04] already chmodded it recursively with 777 [16:04] amnesia: then chown the folder to root [16:04] Boops, my problem is you saying things like "It's great how everything just works in linux isn't it." like it's not your fault you can't set things up when most people can.

I don't have a floppy drive in my laptop :( [17:18] I had never used it b4 and didn't know how much you could do w/ it [17:18] firecrotch: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop results in "couldn't find package ubuntu-desktop" [17:19] irb111, did you do an apt-get update? [17:19] irb111: never mind 'gnome' also installs some extra progs, so might as well install ubuntu-desktop. [17:19] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [17:19] Can anyone help me writing a bootloader,please?

There are also a lot of extra fancy plugins you can purchase. [17:23] hi folks! [17:24] Where do the keys appear from the command: gpg --gen-key ? [17:24] i don't know if you can help me but ...

[17:25] :P [17:26] does enabling iptables (through ufw) have any impact on the performance of the server? [17:26] you'll want to check your repos, which are located in your source.list file [17:26] sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [17:26] Make sure that all the repositories are enabled(If they have a '#' in front of them they are disabled), except for the CD ones. [17:26] Then once you have done that run the command: [17:26] sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [17:26] smbytes, network wise it will if you've closed off ports you didn't want closed [17:26] !who [17:26] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [17:26] should work proper... [17:27] smbytes: I think iptables is just too popular to be bad. [17:27] *waiting* [17:27] purplenurple_: right what about in terms cpu load etc [17:27] Hi ppl.... I've a problem. can't connect 2 ubuntu computers with a LAN cable... the thing is I've tried it with another PC and it's okay. Tried the same thing at home and it aint working. I need to transfer files from my old PC to my laptop. [17:27] smbytes, nothing that is significant ... it uses a very small amount of resources [17:27] Purple: here you go [17:27] http://splunk.pastebin.com/d41da8910 [17:28] i had to type from one screen to another [17:28] irb111: err, those are debian repos. [17:28] anyone can look at that pastebin for that matter [17:28] irb111, your on ubuntu? [17:28] purplenurple_: thanks [17:28] Purple: yes [17:28] mabye try apt-get update, and then apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [17:29] irb111: how come you have debian etch repositories there? [17:29] irb111, those are the wrong repos [17:29] Christophe: i already tried that [17:29] it ain't gonna work with the repos you have. [17:29] Purple: i thought Ubuntu is based on Debian [17:29] it is [17:29] but we don't use debian repos [17:29] ok, what should i be using? [17:30] !sources.list [17:30] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [17:30] silly question, how to install a .deb package?

[17:30] irc.tin.it [17:30] irb111, why not just download the iso and install it rather than build it yourself? [17:30] irb111, my repositories aren't typical so I can't post them up, but I'm sure someone around here has some repos for you [17:30] will always be installed as root, prince_jammys [17:31] irb111: what ubuntu release do you have? hardy, jaunty, intrepid ...? [17:31] Prince: not sure, how would i be able to find that from the command terminal? [17:31] lsb_release -a [17:31] prince_jammys: can I trust skype to install anything as root? [17:31] plouffe: i don't know. [17:32] hi guys...I'm trying to decide whether to use Opera or Thunderbird for my email client. Can anyone point me in the right direction for good pros and cons?

[17:33] Prince: Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 \n \l [17:33] irb111: it would appear that you have installed debian etch. [17:33] plouffe: I wouldn't trust it at all, the company behind Skype has refused to even comment on the rumours that there may be a back door built into the client allowing for eavesdropping [17:33] CaptWho: just install microsoft plugin for firefox [17:33] Prince: Ok, is that a bad thing? [17:34] irb111: ie. you have not installed ubuntu. no, not a bad thing, but not ubuntu [17:34] prower: thanks [17:34] irb111: a bad thing if you want ubuntu-desktop [17:34] chrostophe: will that work with the standalone real player client [17:34] irb111: go to #debian and ask how to install gnome [17:34] ok [17:34] irb111: might as well stick with debian and see if you like it. [17:35] hello...is there any linux-musician ? ....i need help abt direct/offline audio rendering [17:35] hi guys I wrote wget (URL) but where been the files downloaded to?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:42] proq: .xz are "story files" ? [17:42] !details | diabolic [17:42] diabolic: 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 ..." [17:42] WUBI takes so long to load!

I trying to use this following commando rpm -hv nodeps (then a .rpm) but it says error: open of nodeps failed: No such file or directory please help me [17:42] ! [17:42] prince_jammys: so, it's a new compression format like .bz or .gz but much smaller [17:43] !rpm | Elmnas [17:43] Elmnas: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [17:43] Why does Starting cmain()... take so long? [17:43] Elmnas: either convert .rpm, or find a .deb package [17:43] am using ubuntu 9.04 and and using the Transmission porgram to download files from torrents the problem is that the download speed is always law [17:44] gg [17:44] iiii] [17:44] I have installed the latest ubuntu 9.04 (64 bit), Works grant, but when I go to shut down, the pc restarts instead.

[17:45] hi,does the nv driver have xv support? [17:45] proq: i see things like xzip , frotz, and jzip. check if those are relevant [17:46] prince_jammys: nope, those are all for infocom files with the same extension [17:46] ok [17:47] oh, I see. it replaces .lzma. ok, I found it [17:48] where ihave to go to change the firewall settings in ubnutu?

[17:54] maddin: if it's a hardware raid no problem... if you are using linux raid, then you would have to create linux raid partitions and create the raid 5 that way, then create a different software raid for windows.... or at lest I think that's right [17:54] so waht is checkinstall then? [17:54] Darksaviour69, could just be an anomaly ... these things happen sometimes, when I restart my debian it goes to the logout screen [17:54] kamikazeplanet: it's possible to upgrade, but i don't think it's possible to downgrade without reinstalling. [17:55] kamikazeplanet, downgrading is not possible, you need to re-install [17:55] reldrige: It's a program that builds something from source and then creates a package of it that you can install under X distro [17:55] kamikazeplanet: you can try, but it can cause issues with your system [17:55] Hey guys.. i just connected my digital sound output to my new av-receiver.. however i only have front-output.. can i change that somehow?

[18:08] have not found any, i am browsin the forum as we speak [18:09] kamikazeplanet: using an older driver has almost no chance of working [18:09] \list [18:09] got link to the guides? [18:09] How can I put password request at booting mandatory from CLI? [18:09] kamikazeplanet: you *could* try to build the karmic driver from the aptitude sources of see if karmic works better for you overall. it is alpha, though, so you've been warned [18:10] heoa: pardon ? [18:10] anyone could explain me hot to convert a PIC source into a image? [18:10] christophe_: aye, thanks again :) off for now [18:10] ikonia: so that users must give their password at login [18:10] see you guys [18:10] i do not know what that means but it is a fresh install so if i have to format i have nothing to loose as long as it can ruin my vista install but u realy doubt that [18:10] heoa: all users have to login - that's default [18:11] heoa, i think your asking about a bios password? [18:11] ki b4100 printer driver should also állapotfigyelő + [18:11] ikonia: but it is switched off. [18:11] heoa: what's switched off ? [18:11] if i am to do anything at all i need step by step instructions. and to be able to sovle it without internett [18:11] ikonia: it logs to the comp even without password [18:12] heoa: how are you booting the box ? [18:12] in synaptics i see that vsftpd version 2.0.7-0 is installed.BUT where is the application in the menu i cant find it [18:12] heoa: are you using recovery mode from the grub menu ? [18:12] Hydrid: it's a server - it won't be in the menu [18:12] kamikazeplanet, remove all traces of wireless drivers you currently have, run sudo aptitude autoremove, reboot, and install restricted drivers [18:12] Hydrid: vsftpd is a daemon [18:12] okz thanks [18:12] i do not know how to do that [18:13] so i suppose that i have to do everything from terminal [18:13] Something has been causing my X session to terminate seemingly at random...only the last few days. Can someone give me suggestions about what to investigate first? [18:13] Hydrid: it's auto started at boot [18:13] it have been 2 years since i last touched ubuntu [18:13] anyone could explain me hot to convert a PIC source into a image? [18:13] ikonia: no, the option was asked during installation to turn off the ... [18:13] ... password during login. [18:13] deltah: what is a PIC source? [18:13] heoa: I'm not aware of that option [18:14] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1251098 please read and reply for support [18:14] proq, http://floppsie.comp.glam.ac.uk/Glamorgan/gaius/web/pic.html [18:14] deltah: pic2fig?

[18:17] delta: you need to run the pic input through troff [18:17] !language [18:17] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [18:17] Hi [18:17] :o sorry [18:17] hi! ) [18:17] I have a problem with the installation of a log === jpb0104_ is now known as jpb0104 [18:18] Joeyeye "pic pic.source | gtroff" ? [18:18] When I put "sh th++.sh" [18:18] delta: something like that [18:18] Terminal gives me : "th++.sh: 2: declare: not found [18:18] <_nano_> Hi all, I have this extremely weird issue. Firefox and synaptic package manager are not able to connect. Firefox shows "waiting for ..." for eternity. However wget and xchat(right now connected using this) are working fine. Could any one please give me some pointers as to how to debug this issue? [18:18] <_nano_> I am using Jaunty === sumedh is now known as optimus [18:19] _nano_: misconfigured web-proxy settings? [18:19] No idea for my problem? [18:19] <_nano_> stefg, I am not using any proxy :( [18:19] _nano_: sounds like a DNS issue. try ping google.com from a terminal [18:19] _nano_: firefox in offline mode? [18:19] joeyeye, now i got a pic.source.fig file. what i'm suppossed to do with it? [18:19] <_nano_> firecrotch, ping works wonderful [18:20] joeyeye, it not opens with gimp [18:20] <_nano_> Trijntje, I dont think it's in offline mode, coz it usually tells you that when its so [18:20] blue tooth not working.. [18:20] _nano_: but maybe something is configured to look for one... another idea is to look at your DNS entries [18:20] it detects device but can not send the data [18:20] any help [18:20] <_nano_> firecrotch, stefg : i am just wondering, whats different in firefox and synaptic thats not there in wget or xchat ! [18:21] _nano_: port numbers [18:21] hello [18:21] amcsi hi [18:21] _nano_: ĉan you run 'host google.com' and get a sensible reply ? [18:21] _nano_ stefg: well, synaptic and firefox and wget use port 80 :) [18:21] someone know how i can setup a usb modem movistar in ubuntu 9.04 [18:21] <_nano_> stefg: lemme try that [18:21] now i got a pic.source.fig file. what i'm suppossed to do with it? [18:21] do someone have the time to explain me in detail how to remove all traces of my drivers and then install restricted drivers? [18:22] <_nano_> stefg: yup shows instant results in commandline [18:22] delta: PIC is a subset language of gtroff, I think you want to run gtroff -p [18:22] for wireless [18:22] there's a program I am using (stepmania) which for some reason wants my computer's sound server ALL to himself, meaning it will not launch if any program is using the sound server, and while the program is running, my computer makes no other sounds. How do I make the program not be so greedy? [18:22] _nano_: so your dns seems to work [18:22] <_nano_> stefg, yeah or else wget would have failed i'm guessing [18:23] bluetooth not working [18:23] it uses ALSA [18:23] !ipv6 | _nano_ [18:23] _nano_: For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [18:23] kamikazeplanet, I don't have time to walk you thru it but google should be able to provide you with resources to fix it [18:23] what should i google to find a guide? [18:23] <_nano_> stefg, thanks lemme check that [18:24] Hello Everyone :D [18:24] How do I get Net/SMTP/SSL.pm in 8.04? [18:24] joeyeye i want tu convert the PIC source into a image. gtroff -p pic.source does not work (gives --help info) nor pic.source.img [18:24] to* [18:24] kamikazeplanet, what version of linux? [18:25] ubuntu 9.04 [18:25] what wireless card? [18:25] _nano_: and check if firefox is set to stupid settings in extra/options/network [18:25] bastidrazor: Thank you. Any idea which program handles the issue? It ... [18:25] ... requires GDM, at least. [18:25] 2 sec i forgot the whole name [18:25] <_nano_> stefg, I have already checked that, it's all default, that is no proxy etc [18:25] delta: gtroff -P pic.source -T html [18:25] Why not just blacklist the drivers? [18:26] <_nano_> stefg, the funny thing is that I have another laptop with zenwalk connected to the same wireless router, it's working fine [18:26] blue tooth not working [18:26] heoa, gdmsetup ? [18:26] _nano_: are you using gnome network-manager? [18:26] d-link DWA-547 rangebooster n650 desktop adapter [18:26] <_nano_> stefg, yup [18:26] I am a Desktop Architect for a Dialysis company. We are evaluating Ubuntu for certain things, and it seems i have hit a roadblock. Would anyone here be able to recommend enterprise type management solutions (security patches evaluated and distributed by us, package updates, remote desktop, ) In a windows world we use a Landesk Client to connect and manage these types of things, and to also pull software / Hardware specific info [18:26] <_nano_> stefg, oops sorry in zenwalk its different i thin wicd [18:26] _nano_: try installing wicd and see if the problem persists [18:26] I keep hearing how simple linux is to manage, but what about when you have 1500 devices ? :D [18:27] <_nano_> stefg, the weird thing is that apt-get in command line works, but the synaptic gui doesnt ! its mind boggling [18:27] deathtech: it'S even simpler ... see !clone :-) [18:27] deathtech: Landscape may provide what you need: http://www.canonical.com/projects/landscape [18:27] kamikazeplanet, google ubuntu jaunty remove wireless driver d-link [18:27] <_nano_> stefg, isn't the network connectivity in commandline using the same that's provided by the networkmanager? [18:28] Landscape has some pretty hefty fees associated with it, i was hoping for a more Open Source / Free solution, if possible [18:28] deathtech, linux/unix is about as easy as it gets to manage [18:28] delta: pastebin the pic.source file please [18:28] purplenurple : Yeah, single system is very simple, 1500 maybe not so much :) [18:28] How can I switch console in CLI instead of ALT + F-keys? [18:28] I would like the tar and gunzip command to ignore crc errors how do I do that? [18:28] _nano_: not sure. my idea is that network-manager (as usual, i might add) introduces weird behaviour into gui apps [18:28] but what about adding drivers afterwards? [18:28] !clone [18:28] 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 [18:29] <_nano_> stefg, in that case there's some glimmer of hope [18:29] deathtech, I manage clusters across the US .. yeah, it's easy [18:29] <_nano_> stefg, let me try wicd then [18:29] deathtech: have you considered the Landscape Dedicated Server Edition? Maybe call Canonical's sales team and get a quote? [18:29] deathtech, in fact i'm managing my network right now ... and watching a movie [18:30] I am new to server admin. and was wondering if there are any additional steps I should take to secure my very small home servers? [18:30] purplenurple_: 1500 system all with the same (or just slightly different) hardware? [18:30] if i run disk intense apps, should I use LVM or should I partition my drives with fdisk?? [18:30] firecrotch : Yes, i have contacted them, im awaiting a response i sent back from yesterday with a representitive, advent to my own nature however, i was hoping to see a few alternatives :) [18:31] I want to file a bug against the alternate install CD, anyone know which package I should file against? [18:31] Steffy, mostly arch/bsd/rhel derivatives, no ms software thankfully :) [18:31] I have server 9.04 running on them, is there anything I should do to make them more secure? [18:31] chmac: if it's the installer itself, the package is d-i [18:31] My issue is that the installer wipes existing partitions without sufficiently warning users if you enable encrypted volumes. Lost my whole system two days ago. Feeling very grateful for my backups :-) [18:31] purplenurple_: wrong nick :-) ... i meant hardware, not software [18:32] firecrotch: I think the wording of the partitioning sections needs improved, would that be a d-i bug? [18:32] <_nano> stefg, connected using wicd now, same issue :( "waiting for www.google.com ....." :( [18:33] chmac: Yes, that would be in d-i, and if that's not the appropriate package to file the bug against, the d-i team will probably reassign it [18:33] _nano_ : wired or wireless network ? [18:33] <_nano> stefg, wireless [18:33] firecrotch: thanks, I'll fire into debian-installer now :-) [18:33] stefg, most different hardware ... we just added our cluster in virginia which is all new hardware ... our other networks in san jose are running old old old sparcs and some fairly new hardware [18:33] <_nano> stefg, xchat works though, I am on the same machine and talking to you right now! [18:34] <_nano> stefg, synaptic package manager and firefox have something that xchat, wget and ping doesn't have [18:34] _nano: try going to another website? like yahoo.com? [18:34] _nano_: so i'm guessing your router doesn't like ipv6... unfortunatly it'S now a kernle built-in [18:34] what program opens .fig files? [18:34] <_nano> Berzerker, same issue no matter what website...it successfully connects but then the endless 'waiting for' in the status [18:34] hi I have set up the LAMP but now i am not able to see the test page in my browser.I am new to this.Any suggestions [18:35] <_nano> stefg, if that were the case then xchat, wget would have faced issues as well ? [18:35] Does anybody know if there's anything I should do after installing ubuntu server addition and getting the appropriate updates to secure it? [18:35] _nano: in FF? [18:35] _nano: what version [18:36] <_nano> Berzerker, yeah and also in synaptic package manager [18:36] <_nano> Berzerker, 3.0.13 [18:36] hrmm [18:36] _nano: try FF3.5? [18:36] _nano: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 [18:36] i ripped a dvd to my hdd... but now i want to remove some annoying parts like special features and FBI warning... what tool will let me do this? [18:37] what program opens .fig files? [18:37] HOLA HAY ALGUIEN DE COSTA RICA [18:37] <_nano> Berzerker, will try, but then I'm not sure why synaptic package manager would face issues ..but then again apt-get in command line works fine [18:37] _nano: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support [18:37] purplenurple_: i see... so what's your question about then? you might be able to clone package selections, but if you run sparcs you'll probably have to go debian... don't know if sparc is offivially supported by ubuntu [18:38] quit [18:38] <_nano> ok now apt-get is "waiting for headers" :) [18:39] and now he quick [18:39] quit* [18:39] stefg, it wasn't my ? it was deathtech's [18:39] hehe [18:39] it was nano [18:39] purplenurple_: yeah, sorry... mixed that up [18:39] guys i have a dual boot (ubuntu+vista)...i want to upgrade vista to w7...will the boot section mess up??? [18:40] stefg, he is thinking about integrating in linux w/ his existing ms infrastructure [18:40] <_nano> that was me as well :) [18:40] pooding [18:40] oh [18:40] hi, there anything I can use to install ubuntu on a usb pendrive? [18:40] _nano: what kind of connection are you on? any routers involved? [18:40] running ubuntu jaunty [18:41] how do i enable ftp? [18:41] <_nano> Berzerker, yeah routers are involved [18:41] deathtech: is that server or desktop use ? [18:41] so i can ftp to my ubuntu machine from windows [18:41] get a ftp client? [18:41] _nano: tried resets? [18:41] or use logmein [18:41] <_nano> Berzerker, no... i was wondering if ping works probably it's not a router issue === doman_ is now known as Bloodman [18:41] <_nano> Berzerker, wget works great as well [18:42] _nano: ping is only 1 port. I'd try resets. [18:42] I would like the tar and gunzip command to ignore crc errors how do I do that? [18:42] christophe_, i have an ftp client, but i need an ftp server. i thought one was built into ubuntu but i needed to enable it [18:42] try proftp [18:42] !info proftpd | azlon [18:42] azlon: proftpd (source: proftpd-dfsg): versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.1-17ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 190 kB, installed size 228 kB [18:43] <_nano> Berzerker, I am just trying to figure out why is my router partial to wget and ping :P [18:43] _nano: try resets first. [18:43] :P [18:43] <_nano> Berzerker, right, just waiting for the firefox 3.5 to finish installing (mind you it's getting downloaded from apt-get command line and I've no idea how! ) [18:43] how can i get pstack going? aptitude search pstack doesnt show it [18:43] anybody running ubuntu on a usb key? [18:44] _nano: some routers puke if you throw ipv6 packets at them... slackware based distros probably don't do that [18:44] <_nano> stefg, seems you're right, or else i see no other difference between wget and firefox , lemme see if there's a way to disable ipv6 in firefox [18:45] has anyone had any expericence using the option icon 255 modem on ubuntu?

[18:59] Umm, does locking a version in synaptic not prevent aptitude from showing them as updates? [19:00] Anarhist: Now run `lsmod` and check for it in the list. Past that, you'll probably need to pastebin details about the VPN connection.

My pin-priority was too low :) [19:18] anybody here helping me to install theme [19:18] bhaskar: Did you download it? [19:18] ceil420: Ubuntu Desktop is a meta package, I.e it pulls in allsorts of stuff if you select to install it, removing one component does not remove everything else linked to by the meta package, just the meta package as you don't have all the stuff it needs [19:19] Berzerker: yes of course i did it [19:19] !fail bhaskar [19:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about fail bhaskar [19:19] bhaskar: Menu > Preferences > Appearance, click install and find the .tar.bz [19:19] odahilys: i dont know anything my frnd say i have to make [19:20] bhaskar: there's a documintation for exactly that, and its really self explanatory [19:20] ceil420: It makes it easier to install a system this way, Selecting ubuntu desktop automayically selects things like OOo rhythmbox fspot etc but removing one doesn't remove the rest [19:20] "bamboo-zen-theme-1.1" does not appear to be a valid theme. [19:21] Then the file is corrupt [19:21] Thingymebob, so even if ubuntu-desktop is removed because i remove pulseaudio, PA is still the only component i'm taking out?

And have you installed any other Display Managers? [19:25] Berzerker: why u ar putting burden on odahilys well u hve helped me installing one theme that too much for me [19:25] ceil420, I am using gnome, although I am not sure if I have any other display managers since this distro i downloaded had a bunch of programs on it.

[19:29] azlon, check on it? in what way? the terminal output should give some indication if it is working [19:30] i use cli for just about everything but web browsing and IRC (and even in the latter case, i am comfortable with irssi) [19:30] command line in linux is like, infinitely better than on windows [19:30] odahilys, people with more than two braincells to rub together [19:30] ceil420 , ouch. [19:30] ok if i run sudo vuze [19:30] that update should work then?

What might cause this? [19:31] it did work, i finally got the plugin installed [19:31] ceil420, i meant couldnt care about the language.

Now I'm having some acpi issues after updating (the last partial upgrade) [19:44] hey guys, i am running an ubuntu 9.04 system (gnome+compiz) in a virtualbox (windows xp sp3). when i try to make a screenshot/recordmydesktop movie it only shows the wallpaper and nothing else. any ideas? [19:45] Biacz_: try without compiz [19:45] Biacz_, id say the virtualboxs graphical emulation is causing you problems, kill compiz and try again [19:45] It seems that lspci doesn't even see the card, unless I reboot to windows (and the wireless card is off, and I turn it on in windows) then reboot to linux, it works until it suspends/sleeps. The only way to get it up again is reboot to windows, enable it again, then reboot to linux. I've updated eee-acpi-utilities and still have the problem [19:46] hello [19:46] ! paste [19:46] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. 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 [19:47] deany - when i try to save the nohup desktop i get this --> Could not find the file /home/sim/ninan-2.0.0/Desktop/nohup.desktop. [19:47] all I want is a gtk/compiz theme that looks like clearlooks (or something else normal), whose colors I can adjust, but allows for transparency! Is it really so much to ask? [19:47] detonation: I had a similar problem once. Try this: use the "modprobe -r " command to remove the module. Then shut down and reboot linux (without going into windows). Does the card show up correctly? use "lspci -k" to learn the name of the driver. [19:47] hi last night i was having trouble with ndiswrapper just randomly keep discconnecting me.. and took me several restart to get it back online so someone told me to post this.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/260487/ [19:47] sim_, made it +x? [19:48] deany eh ? [19:48] i wrote this in terminal chmod +x ~/Desktop/nohup.desktop [19:48] edbian, it's ath9k. I've modprobe -r ath9k ; modprobe ath9k (under sudo) and it looks like it's going to come up but no wireless connection comes up from iwconfig [19:48] deany - sorry im at this stage = gedit Desktop/nohup.desktop [19:48] sim_, and when you double click it? [19:49] quit [19:49] sim_, I think I might have missed out gedit ~/Desktop/nohup.desktop [19:49] detonation: My point is that linux is having trouble shutting down the device (which is why it disappears when you reboot). I had the same problem with NIC and I solved it by first "modprobe -r " before I shut down or reboot. [19:50] sim_, so it saves to your desktop in your home.. I think maybe you might be inside the ninan folder when doing that gedit stage. [19:50] detonation: I'm not trying to get your card back up and running. I'm suggesting you run this command and see if the card is still missing after you reboot. [19:50] have a question i am trying to install a carputer and i am using ubuntu and nghost [19:51] i am having a problem installing nghost [19:51] edbian, i think he has been lost the "teh internetz" [19:51] b3rz3rk3r: Appears to be that way [19:51] @reedler what is a carputer?

[21:12] Hi, I have a friend's machine hooked up to high speed and it is version 7.04 of Ubuntu. Synaptic shows an option to upgrade to a newer version.

Find out why some of your current repos aren't responding. [21:21] .

If I point sources.list to my local index (deb file:///...) and run apt-get dist-upgrade it says nothing needs applying. I tried your suggestion but apt says nothing needs applying to the local server? [21:21] ndiswrap: adding another wont help boost. but using another wifi(usb) may have a better reception. [21:21] theres probably different ones depending on what type of application i want it to run with [21:21] kevb: gufw doesn't work on my 8.04 btw [21:21] hi guys I wonder how I automount my hard drives ? so everytime Iminlogged they are there [21:21] they wont do anything to help you because it will say it isnt supported [21:22] ActionParsnip: hmm just tried sudo -s.. it uses the same .bashrc and $HOME .. but whoami outputs root =\ [21:22] Another quicky if I may, what is the status with bigmem?

I have an issue with installing the official and open source drivers for my Mobility Radeon 9600 video card. I have followed 2 different guides on installing one or the other and I still get errors pretty much making me resort to using the generic settings but yet it seems to be working for others and I dunno why. The ATI Catalyst application I installed through 'Add/Remove...' is saying that it can't detect t [23:28] yes [23:28] TheCheeze: even with `sh /path/` is a command.. it should work.. that's weird.. try running `sh /path/to/file.sh` in the terminal and see if it works [23:28] ok [23:28] Bacta: You just create the new user and then afford rights by editing /etc/group [23:28] Bacta, adduser admin [23:28] Bacta, log it in and back out [23:28] hsram: or or and? [23:28] I've already added the user [23:28] it's me ;) [23:29] Bacta, did the user log out and back in ? type groups to see if the user is a member of admin [23:29] should I be in the "adm" group? [23:29] ok, i was mistaken. i missed the sh at the beginning of that line [23:29] thanks all [23:29] Yea or or and :) [23:30] erUSUL: I also lowered the sampling_rate to make scaling more responsive [23:30] hsram: i had bad experience trying the binary driver with my 9800 pro, the standard open source version worked fine for 2D though,(and should be enabled by default) [23:30] Bacta, i think you need adm too [23:30] I followed a guide to install the official drivers (got it from the site where the last version actually supported my card) [23:30] Is it possible to get current network usage (kB/s) in a shell? [23:30] How can I make a logical partition a primary partition without destroying the data? [23:30] Bacta: In /etc/group add new user to admin line, (and any others as needed). [23:30] No luck there, so I tried the open source drivers [23:30] Ah wait I see it :) [23:30] Thanks [23:30] hsram: i'm not really sure the last drivers amd drivers will support it [23:30] hi there,anyone use finger-print auth with aes2501 or other? [23:30] hi [23:30] I am trying to set up thunderbird [23:30] I added 2 accounts [23:31] (and then around 5 more) [23:31] the 2nd account doesnt show up though! [23:31] Also got errors and yea it works fine obviously, but stuff like video playback or flash is so laggy it's pretty much not worth it [23:31] hsram: how do you deduce the open source one doesnt work, does it default to vesa? [23:31] any ideas why not? [23:31] Bacta: Well, not ANY others, look at where the original user is entered - put a comma at the end and add the new user's name. [23:31] if I try to recreate it it complains that the account already exists [23:31] but I cant see it [23:31] I'm not sure, I'm brand new to Linux actually. [23:31] Heard good things about it, so I figured I would try to make the best of it by getting everything up and going like it should [23:31] hsram: i would check if the "current" flgrx drivers still support your 9600 [23:32] g0th: You will need to create new inbox directories for each account unless you want them to all go to one.
