[00:05] nossralsuva: yes; mgolisch: yes; losha: using putty [00:05] LetsGo67, so you would type ssh -v username@ip_address [00:06] and then copy and paste the output so that we could see the results [00:06] Hey, couple questions I Just Upgraded to the new ubuntu from Hardy Heron, and was going to play a flash game while I was waiting for a download and They either don't load or won't respond to mouse clicks.

[00:07] hi [00:07] !enter | z35 [00:07] i lost my password, help me please [00:07] how to recover my password? [00:07] z35: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:07] matu: your login password? [00:07] nossralsuva I'd rather not. It's running *again* on local... for now. [00:07] Sorry... [00:07] matu: boot the recovery/safe boot entry in grub [00:08] the password i use with sudo.. [00:08] LetsGo67, your choosing a method of obscurity, which doesn't solve your problem, it doesn't make hiding the port any secure, that is where you'd want to have correct firewall (possibly using iptables or ufw) to protect that machine [00:08] i used the reovery mode of grub but it still ask me for a password [00:08] s [00:08] matu: it should use the same passwort as your login password [00:08] have you gone to the server that is hosting the ssh daemon and restarting it [00:09] I don't seem to be able to download ubuntu 9.10 from the following website and I'm not sure why. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download === Guest2613 is now known as Sharker [00:09] LetsGo67, are you using portmapd?

[00:09] matu: and set a new password [00:09] Help for a camera? [00:09] zShoTz Go be racist somewhere else dick [00:10] do i just need to enter my nickname as a password ? [00:10] z35: whats your question? [00:10] i'm trying to find mmc card on ubuntu so i can reformat it, how can i do this please? [00:10] it said me enter root password or control+d... [00:10] I have a fuji finepix z35, and the computer doesn't recognize... [00:10] because if you are, even thought that is more for an nfs connection (nfs-kernel-server) that can limit which and what machines can connect using their ip_addresses, did you set any parameters in your sshd_config to allow or deny certain machines based on FQDN or ipaddress? === sharperguy2 is now known as sharperguy [00:11] nossralsuva: I keep getting STUPID timeout errors! [00:11] i will try it mgolisch but dont trust it will work [00:11] bye [00:11] timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout timeout [00:11] hmm the above reminds me: yesterday I had an issue, booted in recovery mode and was able to get in a root console without a password; I could have messed anything up; is that ok, security-wise? [00:11] LetsGo67, did you change the gracetime values on the server hosting the ssh? [00:11] LetsGo67: even with the std port? [00:12] andyzammy: unplug the card then plug it back in then run dmesg | tail in a terminal it should give you some info on it [00:12] nossralsuva: how? Will this affect pre-login timeouts? [00:12] How is it unsecure to change the port? [00:12] VCoolio, that was pretty much the way it was meant to be, because some users can forget their own root password or may have had their boxens compromised thus root password set/changed [00:12] LetsGo67, gracetime values if set to short you will only have a certain amount of time to enter a password before it rejects you, the usual time out is 120seconds [00:13] nossralsuva: this will not solve my pre-login timeout errors [00:13] z35 its not under /media as a hard drive is it? [00:13] LetsGo67, your using security by obscurity, if one wanted, you are only making it harder but an nmap scan could easily detect listening ports [00:13] psycho_oreos: ok, I just wondered; anybody could fire up my pc then and mess with it, if they know the procedure (and my family doesn't ;) ) === Guest14124 is now known as Sharker [00:14] LetsGo67, are you able to ssh to anther machine using that same putty computer?

[00:14] is anyone able to clearly explain me how to reset my password please? [00:14] matu: whats the problem? === Sharker is now known as Guest61276 [00:14] i lost my password [00:14] recovery mode does not help [00:14] nossralsuva yes Internet server [00:14] nossralsuva but not my local server with pre-login timeouts [00:15] VCoolio, its a pretty much globally accepted procedure under linux.. unless of course you are a paranoid, and in which that method can be disabled [00:15] matu: it should, what does it say? [00:15] matu: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [00:15] i gives me some choices like Wdo you want to drop to root login etc which ask mefor a password [00:15] psycho_oreos: nah, I'm good, thanks [00:15] skylar, are you running compiz? === N0DE- is now known as CripperZ [00:16] nossralsuva and you have an ssh server with no problems?

[00:17] skylar, if you disable compiz you'll be able to click on that game [00:17] matu: it wants a password? [00:17] Ok well just a sec I'm basically uber new at ubuntu.

[00:18] skylar, i'd recommend you install fusion-icon gives you a system tray icon to disable/enable compiz -- handy due to the clicking buck with flash right now :) === Guest61276 is now known as Sharker [00:19] OK. [00:19] lexvegas: there is kde-minimal package [00:19] lexvegas: just uninstall the unwanted junk. thats what i do.. [00:19] skylar, s/buck/bug [00:19] sweet thanks === Sharker is now known as Guest3360 [00:19] ZykoticK9: s/buck/bug ? XD [00:20] lexvegas: there is a way though if you install from the command line. [00:20] Hey all, can I remove acpid if I want to ? [00:20] skylar, in my origional message i said "clicking buck" but meant "clicking bug" --- s for substitute buck for bug ;) [00:20] in trying kde-minimal it seems to be what i want [00:21] there is a lot of things (even sony/thinkpad stuff ?!?!) in /etc/acpid that I don't want to get executed... [00:21] hi. i want to install the latest version of wine, adding the ppa repository, but it says> The following packages have unmet dependencies: [00:21] wine: Depends: wine1.2 but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages [00:21] ZykoticK9: Would I add the Enable/Disable Icon form the CompizConfig Settings Manager ? [00:21] from * [00:21] ries: alls this stuff is bound to specific acpi events unless you computer emits those they wont be executed [00:22] skylar, from add/remove [00:22] skylar, no run "fusion icon" then you'll get a blue icon in system tray - right click on it to enable/disable [00:22] mk [00:22] skylar: are you trying to play flash games in your browser? [00:22] Indeed I was. [00:22] mgolisch: I just want any of these to be executed... so simply removing acpid would be save, right? [00:23] skylar, you actually switch Windows manager from Compiz to Metacity to disable compiz [00:23] skylar: they work on my system with compiz enabled?? [00:23] Well I don't I'm a windows person trying to use ubuntu I'm just listening to you guys right now XD [00:24] Well I don't know . *** === Guest3360 is now known as Sharker [00:24] ries: id just disable it [00:24] switch10_, many people are having issues with compiz and not being able to click on flash enable games/videos (happens on both Firefox and Chrome on my 64bit Karmic install) [00:24] I'm 64 bit as well === Sharker is now known as Guest71655 [00:24] mgolisch: I was planning to apt-get remove --purge apcid [00:24] If that makes a difference [00:24] no problems here [00:24] great [00:25] ZykoticK9: or just go to system>prefs>apperance and click the visual affects tab. then select none instead of extra [00:25] ries: id not do that it might be a dependeciy for other stuff [00:25] it just gives me a buggy shell using rw init=/bin/bash [00:25] ZykoticK9: must be a 64 bit issue [00:25] switch10_, down side of that is you'll loose all your compiz settings each time! [00:25] is anyone able to explain me what i have to do to recover my password please ? [00:25] matu: buggy shell? [00:25] mgolisch: you did mention disabling it... how would that work? [00:25] matu: a shell is all you need === dean is now known as Guest31880 [00:25] ZykoticK9: ah. didnt know that. thanks :) [00:25] matu: use the passwd command to set a new password [00:26] matu: like passwd matu [00:26] it is BUGGY [00:26] Can anyone here having the problem with flash click and compiz try opening libflashplayer.so and searching for the string 'compiz' and replacing it with 'compix' to see if it fixes the problem (after restarting the browser)? [00:26] Err.. opening it in a hex editor [00:26] passwd matu does not let me enter a character [00:26] anyone have ideas on debugging wireless connection that connects then disconnects [00:26] is anyone able to help me please ?

[00:27] ZykoticK9: You wouldn't lose all your compiz settings if you install simple-ccsm and select the Custom option that appears in gnome-appearance-properties [00:27] switch10_, like i just did say this trick does notwork [00:27] it gives a shell that is buggy [00:27] skylar: What doesn't load? [00:27] and nevermind [00:27] ahoj [00:27] Hello, can someone recomend me a good torrent client for the terminal? [00:27] matu: thats intended behavior you will see no change when typing the password [00:28] soreau, that's why i recommended fusion-icon (keeps all the settings while disable/enabling) [00:28] AmokPaule: transmission has cli capabilities [00:28] ZykoticK9: You should recommend simple-ccsm [00:28] "Drop to root shell prompt" ask me for a password [00:28] matu: so noeone thats wathcing your screen can see the length of your password [00:28] uj [00:28] ty [00:28] mgolisch, frankly you dont know what to do so please dont say anything === Guest71655 is now known as Sharker [00:29] I have a question for you all.

[00:29] ZykoticK9: If you load fusion-icon at startup, then compiz will replace whatever window manager that is running and cause flickering if you don't edit the default wm gconf key === Sharker is now known as Guest83114 [00:29] Thanks ZykoticK9 , lexvegas and switch [00:29] matu: just trying to help, you dont have to be rude like that [00:29] matu: nothing of what i told you was wrong [00:30] join/ #linuxjournal [00:30] maybe that i am wrong but just let's try it [00:30] matu: so your saying if you get a root shell the dirty way( init=/bin/bash) you cant enter a password? [00:30] ZykoticK9: fusion-icon works well! thanks! switch to metacity you say? [00:30] #linuxjournal [00:30] using 9.04 it ask me for a password selectrin "Drop for a shell prompt" [00:31] enter root password or type Control+D to continue [00:31] switch10_, to disable compiz yes [00:31] i even cant enter ls using init=/bin/bash [00:31] ZykoticK9: just in case I ever find the need to. [00:31] so you cant do anthing? [00:31] strange [00:31] because it becomes buggy [00:32] you could reset your password from a livecd [00:32] Hello all I have a problem installing openssh on 9.10.

[00:33] i uninstalled ssh and now cannot reinstall it.... I"m getting error messages now..... [00:33] matu: if it says enter password or ctrl-d it means init failed for some reason thats not normal behavior [00:33] this option should drop you to a root shell without asking anything [00:33] sonium: set it on the battery option...

[00:54] good evening for everybory === Guest63704 is now known as Sharker === Sharker is now known as Guest74903 [00:54] yes I am, but that'll do [00:54] ChogyDan: yes it does :) [00:54] cool! [00:55] Anybody know any tool of UML like the "Rational Rose", but open source and free and good? [00:55] I was reading the thread... and indeed, scroolkeeper is kinda evil with way to many dependencies.. [00:56] Div_By_Zero: there aren't any that meet both criteria unfortunately [00:57] hi [00:57] How can i use the dd command to copy a larger partition (with extra free space) to a small parition. both partition are over 30gb, and 40gb. but there is only 3gb of data? i do not wish to use an iso image if i can help it. beucase i am trying to copy one partition to another. this [00:57] :( [00:57] can mounting a HD too many times cause damage? [00:57] Div_By_Zero: you can try ArgoUML (Java based) but it's useless on large projects [00:57] Div_By_Zero: dan? richard? [00:57] GamerKnight: you might look at Clonezilla.. it may do that effortlessly [00:58] GamerKnight: dd cant do this, use some imaging program that cares for/understands filesystem [00:58] Does anyone know if there is a way to add a "Sort by Filetype" option to GNOME's right-click menu where there's normally a "Sort by Filename" option? [00:58] Helsinkiii: I've been doing it with two hd's for three years and haven't seen any trouble yet [00:58] GamerKnight: you can try partimage for example [00:58] no [00:58] Izinucs: thanks rather not go through all the hastle i doing this every time i need to run this command. there must be a way todo this in dd [00:58] ardchoille: cool. just tying to determine why my HD stopped working [00:58] Hello! I'm trying to configure an ubuntu server, but i'm having problems with a static IP. When I boot up the server it doesn't connect to the internet unless I run "dhclient eth0", but then it gets a different IP address. The only thing I can do is SSH into it. Please help! [00:58] LordHawke13: there's not sorting by type? >: [00:58] and firugre out how i lost 30 GB of important data [00:58] GamerKnight: how 'bout just using cp with the hidden directories trigger [00:58] mgolisch: can dd not do this? i am running some test on windows xp. and i need to copy the partition back to the original state everytime. === Guest74903 is now known as Sharker [00:59] DaZ, I mean from the right-click menu. === Sharker is now known as Guest3184 [00:59] Izinucs: thats not a bad idea. i might try that. say if i run dd but make an img file. will that then only copy the data i need and not extra free space? [00:59] DaZ, There's only a "Sort by Filename" option when I right-click in a folder or on the desktop. [01:00] GamerKnight: if you're just moving data cp should do it.. if you need an exact image then clonezilla, partimage or somehow with dd [01:00] Izinucs: cool thanks [01:00] GamerKnight: dd doenst care shits about filesystems, it copies blockwise, it doesnt care for anything [01:00] DaZ, I'd like to be able to do this for when I put files on my desktop. It doesn't allow you to clean up by filetyp even if GNOME's preferences are to sort by Filetype. [01:00] xtjacob1, with static IPs you need to verify that /etc/resolv.conf has your DNS addresses specified (or you won't get internet resolution), when you are using DHCP find out what addresses are in your /etc/resolv.conf then manually enter the same servers when you have Static IP set. Good luck. [01:00] LordHawke13: select list view then click on sort by file type [01:00] ardchoille, how about your /etc/asound.conf ? [01:00] mgolisch: thanks for that i thought it was a bit copy tool. if you did not specify a bs [01:00] GamerKnight: its basicaly just a copy program, it copies data from file1 to file2 nothing more [01:00] LordHawke13: if it's possible at all then it should be scriptable [01:01] xtjacob1: what about desktop? ;f [01:01] xtjacobl, THat's only for folders, though. . . [01:01] wolter: no such file here [01:01] mgolisch: what is the argument to make sure if only copys used data and not free space? [01:02] LordHawke13: well, kde has it ootb [; [01:02] GamerKnight: in dd? it cant, like i said it doenst understand the underlying filesystems [01:02] ZykoticK9: In my /etc/resolv.conf I set it too "nameserver 8.8.8.8", and thats all that is in it [01:02] xtjacob1, and do you currently have interenet? === dak_ is now known as dak [01:02] GamerKnight: id go with partimage or ntfsclone if its a windows partition [01:02] DaZ, Does that mean in order to, I'd have to switch from GNOME to KDE? [01:02] can anyone help with installing nvidia drivers? [01:03] !nvidia| nixcc3 [01:03] nixcc3: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:03] ZykoticK9: yes i am on a different computer, and my server is connected with a LAN cable [01:03] thanks #ubottu i will start there [01:03] mgolisch: thanks alot. that makes sense, thanks a lot i know there are a lot of dd tutorials out there and your giving up your free time for me. i am running out of time and you have really helped thanks a lot. in the panic i didnt take time out to think about the problem [01:03] xtjacob1, well try adding that line once you have Static IP set and it "should" work. good luck. [01:03] LordHawke13: no, i think nautilus is capable of being scripted to sort by filetype under rmb === Guest3184 is now known as Sharker [01:04] but kde has it ootb :F [01:04] Izinucs: thank a lot dude [01:04] That mean Out Of The Box? [01:04] Just BTW? === Sharker is now known as Guest86842 [01:04] Grrr. Upgraded to 8.10 and for some reason it the /etc/init.d/NetworkManager script fruits up my eth0. Had to disable it, and manually set my network up. It was giving 'No buffer space available' before hand [01:04] LordHawke13: yes [01:04] Kk. . . [01:04] Kompletely off the wall. . . [01:05] ZykoticK9: my /etc/network/interfaces is set as "iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.200.70 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1" [01:05] ZykoticK9: "auto eth0" above it [01:06] jsoft: define your network config in /etc/network/interfaces, networkmanager wont both touching that interface then [01:06] I have a server that I updated, after reboot it broke, I can get a root shell with init=/sbin/sulogin on an old kernel but I can't find anything wrong in /var/log/messages, any debugging tips? [01:06] bother [01:06] xtjacob1, /etc/network/interfaces is independent of /etc/resolv.conf [01:06] mgolisch: hmm ok. [01:07] ZykoticK9: so what should be in /etc/resolv.conf? [01:07] mgolisch: still annoying that it somehow made the eth0 unusable [01:07] hey, when i am trying to go from mint 7 to ubuntu 9.10 when i want to manualy choose settings it wont find root system when I hit forward. where and how do i specify i have been looking around. I am on the live cd now and i have a partition I dont want to loose otherwise Id do it the full way [01:07] xtjacob1, /etc/resolv.conf give your DNS server information (something that must be specified if you're using static IP instead of DHCP which will auto populate resolv.conf) [01:07] mgolisch: any idea on what I should put in there? Assuming I want an ip of 1.2.3.4/24 for example [01:08] ZykoticK9: do I just put the DNS address or do i need to specify using syntax? [01:08] xtjacob1, so reboot the system to Static (if it isn't already) and add "nameserver 8.8.8.8" === Guest86842 is now known as Sharker === Sharker is now known as Guest73902 [01:09] ZykoticK9: ok im trying that again, i think i did it before and it didn't work [01:09] new to Ubuntu. I loaded 9.04 3 months ago onto a Toshiba laptop with windows 7. I loaded 9.10 a month ago and I now want to remove 9.04 completely and use the same space for Kubuntu. could someone point me to BEGINNER instructions on removing 9.04 and removing all references to 9.04 in grub 1.76 beta. thanks [01:10] jsoft: man interfaces tells you about the format [01:10] any thoughts? it says to it cant find root system and it told me to fix this in the partition table or something [01:10] mgolisch: ta [01:11] ZykoticK9: that didn't work i tried pinging google and it says unkown host www.google.com [01:11] while im trying to specify where to install ubuntu [01:11] xtjacob1, looking at your paste for /etc/network/interface -- you address 192.168.200.70 doesn't match your network 192.168.0.0! notice the 200 vs 0. [01:11] jsoft: something like that http://pastebin.com/m3ec0d12a [01:12] xtjacob1, does "ping 66.249.90.104" work? [01:12] ZykoticK9, a 192.168.200.x cant it see a 192.168.100.x ? [01:13] Yancho_, not sure... [01:13] does the create usb boot disk in the system menu create a persistent OS? [01:13] user01, it can === Guest73902 is now known as Sharker [01:14] ZykoticK9, but not by default? [01:14] Yancho_, depends on the subnet mask used. [01:14] yeah your not in the same subnetn [01:14] mgolisch: thats pretty much what I just entered :) [01:14] ZykoticK9: no it says network is unreachable, and i am no longer able to SSH into too === Sharker is now known as Guest35529 [01:14] user01, not by default -- there is persistance setting at the bottom (reserved space) [01:14] not using that netmask [01:14] unop, 255.255.0.0 should work no? 255.255.255.0 won't [01:14] yeah [01:15] ZykoticK9, how would that work then if i install a video driver for one computer then take it to another computer? It would automatically load the correct one? [01:15] Yancho_, yea, but why would you use that mask? :) [01:15] xtjacob1, your problem extends beyond just DNS then. can you ping you default gateway for example? [01:15] unop: maybe its a bit network :) [01:15] big [01:15] user01, i'm not too sure how video driver play with USB persistence? I've never tried it. Good luck. [01:15] mgolisch, heh - i doubt any LAN has 65 thousand hosts :) [01:16] unop, true .. just refreshed my networking idea heh [01:16] unop: Some IT people beg to differ... [01:16] unop: lies. My home lan has 539,000. [01:16] yeah sure [01:16] Hodapp, I know - some people will always get it wrong [01:16] :) [01:16] jsoft, ur home is not ur city :P [01:17] i wonder howto fit that many computers in your house [01:17] I has a virtual server room. [01:17] virtualbox all the way [01:17] thats bigger tham my whole country's inhibitants :D [01:17] ZykoticK9: no can it be the router? my dad has a really hardened router [01:17] ZykoticK9, is ext4 journaling? like it would be bad to use it for USB like ext3? [01:17] What program can i use to recover a linux partition? can it be done from a livecd? [01:17] Please, does anyone know how to put an USB Webcam to work under Ubuntu 9.10...? [01:17] llua: what do you mean by recover? [01:17] xtjacob1, not sure man??? [01:17] * jsoft proceeds to upgrade to 9.10 [01:18] all the way from 7.10! :) [01:18] rodrigo [01:18] user01: yeah [01:18] it should just work.... or you're in for a treat [01:18] mgolisch: i installed win7 to a different partition but it took my linux partition with it [01:18] I've lost my name in the upper right hand corner. How do I get it back? [01:18] user01, ext4 is journaled yes -- so it ext3 though [01:18] jsoft: tell me if it works after the upgrade [01:18] if i hear my nephew say Disney XD one more time imma sh---- never mind ill just get the pistol [01:18] when in installer, how do i just delete a partition [01:18] ZykoticK9: he has a zonealarm Z100G [01:18] * EricTheHax blows his own brains out [01:18] Is there a program that displays a list of active windows and lets you type the name (fuzzy search) and narrows the list/selects the window? === Guest35529 is now known as Sharker [01:19] DaZ: how would I do that? Ive only got this laptop to communicate with [01:19] i need to setup [01:19] xtjacob1, when you have DHCP what is your network address? if you static similar except for the last bit? X.X.X.different [01:19] i need to setup a cron job that uses sudo. how? === Sharker is now known as Guest85821 [01:19] ZykoticK9, i was thinking of creating a persistent USB that i could just plug into my computer at work then i could just run in virtualbox anything windows required by the company :) [01:19] rodrigo, start with testing it with several apps .. for example i had a problem of mine with just skype .. ekiga and others were ok .. so make sure its not codecs related [01:19] mgolisch: the partition is just unallocated atm [01:19] scottj, http://code.google.com/p/superswitcher/ [01:20] llua: so it didnt use any of the space that this partition as using before? [01:20] user01, USB + Virtualbox might not give you the performance you need (USB is kinda slow). Good luck man. [01:20] ZykoticK9, oh :( [01:20] can i? [01:20] llua: id give testdisk a try it might be able to restore the lost partition in your partition table [01:20] ZykoticK9: it is 192.168.200.213 When I run "dhclient eth0" it comes back from 192.168.200.1 [01:20] homlser, Yancho_: USB webcam has this VID:PID: 17a1:0118, nothing comes out on dmesg and I already tested using cheese, ekiga and skype... [01:20] mgolisch: was any space on my now deleted partition used? no [01:21] Well, with multiple levels of caching in both the guest OS and host OS, I'd say it could handle it okay. [01:21] ZykoticK9, well, it would only be for there spying software so i dont care if that is slow [01:21] ZykoticK9: USB2 is faster than necessary. The speed of the flash device is what matters. [01:21] It is actually this $ 5 webcam from DX: http://www.dealextreme.com/feedbacks/BrowseReviews.dx/sku.13 [01:22] im trying to install banshee media player and ubuntu wont let me (theres no install button) [01:22] rodrigo, worked with other ubuntus? for example mine works fine with 9.04 .. 9.10 screwed [01:22] xtjacob1, i gots nothing more for ya man sorry. good luck. You might be able to find out if your router can assign the same IP to a machine by MAC address (sorta like a static IP without the problems) [01:22] tricky problem - i'm trying to format my mmc card's partitions (mmc card is called /dev/mmcblk0p1 - partitions are called /dev/mmcblk0p1p1 and /dev/mmcblk0p1p2) fdisk confirms this, but mkfs says that the partitions don't exist and only let me format the mmc card in whole (ie /dev/mmcblk0p1) - am i doing something wrong here? [01:23] ZykoticK9: k thanks i'm getting my dad to go into the router [01:23] eman: what do you mean? [01:23] And in this feddback someone wrote "Works on linux (Ubuntu - using windows driver with ndiswrapper)". How can we do that, use ndiswrapper to convert a Windows USB webcam driver...? [01:23] eman: did you enable the universe repo? i doubt its in main also what tool did you use? === Guest85821 is now known as Sharker [01:24] with the new ubuntu is grub not the default bootloader? [01:24] eman: software center or synaptic? [01:24] is it possible? [01:24] mickey_: grub2 is the default [01:24] software center === Sharker is now known as Guest62739 [01:24] rodrigo, sorry cant help you :( gluck maybe others can [01:24] Yancho_: I didn't tested with other Ubuntus... [01:25] mgolisch, if i installed windows after ubuntu what do i have to do to install the default ubuntu bootloader to mbr [01:25] it says canonical does not support updates for this program some updates may be provided by the ubuntu community [01:25] eman: did you enable the universe repo? [01:26] mgolisch: how do i do that? [01:26] ZykoticK9: I'm going to try to reserve a static IP with the mac address [01:26] xtjacob1, hopefully that will work for ya! [01:27] eman: in software center go to edit->Settings-> Software package sources, or whatever it is in english [01:27] ZykoticK9: i specified the IP with it too [01:27] oh sorry its just edit -> Software packge source or something [01:27] tricky problem - i'm trying to format my mmc card's partitions (mmc card is called /dev/mmcblk0p1 - partitions are called /dev/mmcblk0p1p1 and /dev/mmcblk0p1p2) fdisk confirms this, but mkfs says that the partitions don't exist and only let me format the mmc card in whole (ie /dev/mmcblk0p1) - am i doing something wrong here? [01:28] argh.. why wont ubuntu let me see my shared folders... [01:28] It just occurred to me that the Sparc platform has been dropped by Ubuntu. Why? [01:28] hmmm [01:29] fonebone: ubuntu doesn't believe in sharing. === Guest62739 is now known as Sharker [01:29] well.. what sucks.. it worked yesterday [01:29] but not today [01:29] haha [01:29] fonebone: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === Sharker is now known as Guest35870 [01:29] sskyles: It hasn't had official support for a couple of years now, but remains community-supported.

[01:31] ZykoticK9: well it didn't work :( [01:32] xtjacob1, sorry man??? [01:32] mgolisch: THANKS IT WORKS!!! [01:32] Awesome! Thanks [01:32] ZykoticK9: i think i'll mess with it a little to see if i can get it to work [01:32] eman: lol this software thing sucks, it shouldnt display the package if it cant be installed using the activated repositories [01:32] hi all [01:33] i still wonder what its good for, it seems to be just as useless as this old add/remove programs thing [01:33] eman: There is no easy way to do that in the current implementation, but some new backend technology in Ubuntu 10.04 will fix that. [01:33] Er, mgolisch ^^ [01:33] ZykoticK9: OMG!!! It works! [01:33] lol ya [01:33] Does anyone know a reason why I cannot use the text terminals (Ctrl+Alt+F1-6)? [01:33] ZykoticK9: I get 100% packet loss though...

[01:35] * Slix still wishes he could play TF2 on Ubuntu well.. [01:35] ZykoticK9: changing the gateway to 192.168.200.1 made DNS work [01:35] mgolisch: But in Ubuntu 10.04, the application lists will be distributed alongside the package lists, so it will only list applications that are actually available. This will also allow third-party providers to inject their own applications into the list. [01:35] xtjacob1, if it's DHCP now - i'm not sure. I gotta run man -- hope you get it working. [01:35] Hola. Having problems with wpa_supplicant and wireless after moving to 9.10. Is this the correct channel?

[06:10] hi everyone) how can i get bonobo C++ header files? i tried to install libbonobo, but it's already installed, however, #include can't find files [06:10] hey, is there a tool to configure the boot loader? [06:10] i need to change the default and remove some options [06:11] anyone helping me out or what? [06:11] !grub2 | acidhax [06:11] acidhax: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

[06:12] i have libbonon2-dev [06:12] is there a Tool/GUI For configuring grub2? [06:13] Alan502, its the one i use. [06:13] i_is_broke, the lastest ose? [06:13] yeah [06:13] hi [06:13] Nagato-Pain, try working it out by sifting throug the packages : apt-cache search libbonobo [06:13] any xps m1530 user with mic working, please let me know [06:13] volume control for oss [06:13] Alan502, i think its 3.0.12 comes with usb support from their site. [06:13] can somebody help me setup my microphone for pulseaudio, or even better, let alsa take care of it? [06:14] i_is_broke, so virtualbox has added usb support for the ose version? cool!

[06:14] i_is_broke, i'll look for it [06:14] wolter: your sound (play) works ? [06:14] Nagato-Pain, if you know the exact file that you need for importing to your C++ project you might like to install apt-file and use : apt-file search [06:14] DasEi1, yes [06:14] Alan502, you have to go to their web site to get it. [06:14] wolter: sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer [06:14] i have put an document in /usr/share/fonts [06:14] but it no use [06:14] hii all [06:14] are we allowed to ask questions here for other distro's ? archlinux chan sucks [06:14] wolter: call it, mic is muted per default [06:15] OptimaD, no its considered offtopic [06:15] OptimaD, not here [06:15] DasEi1, its not here heh [06:15] zen_, easier to put your fonts in ~/.fonts [06:15] try ##linux OptimaD [06:15] what if its a general xorg conf question [06:15] i_is_broke, i wonder if the have a deb already [06:15] Alan502, yep [06:15] airtonix: i did it [06:15] DasEi1, I do see an anomaly... Mic is labeled +50dB Mic (because I used to have an altered asound.conf) but I deleted it and the label remained... [06:16] zen_, then open up system > preferences > appearance and open the font panel [06:16] OptimaD, doesnt matter cause of how the distro handles their files could tell you to do the wrong thing and make it worse. [06:16] not a single tool to do this for me? [06:16] acidhax, do what? [06:16] airtonix: i'll try [06:16] something, anything, to help me configure grub2 [06:16] thanks you [06:17] My samba networked printer prompts me for a password every time I print. Is there a config file I can edit and add a 'password=xxxxx' like you do in fstab for a mounted samba share? [06:17] i_is_broke, thanks a lot man :D im so happy i can be back to OSE again.

[06:23] so i decided to try and fix my toshiba shortcut keys for like lsd brightness, wifi, and all those so I installed this thing it wa si think fnfx.deb and it failed... now when i istall somethign it fails because of some fxfn problem please help.... how do i restore the original fxfn or whatever because it did not even work ... thanks [06:24] and that was funny..:D [06:24] viki27: you would need to create an iso from the mp3s with mkisofs and then burn with cdrecord [06:24] !info burn | viki27 [06:24] viki27: burn (source: burn): command-line tool for writing optical media.

[06:25] acidhax: unless you edit the /etc/default/grub file your edits will be overwritten each time grub2 auto-updates (update kernel, e.g.) [06:25] viki27, you'd install it by using : sudo apt-get install burn [06:25] what is wm? [06:25] sumit917: what wm? [06:25] sumit917: look for error messages in the syslog or try starting it from a terminal [06:25] purple_mouse, wm = window manager [06:26] i have LVM installed. When I partitioned, I only assigned 120GB to the LVM, and kept the rest for Windows. Now that I don't use windows anymore and I have erased its partition, how do I grow the LVM to use the free space? [06:26] purple_mouse, and EastDallas he said awesome. [06:26] sorry i meant fnfx [06:26] ok thanks [06:26] EastDallas: I'm not entirely sure, but I think if you go to the [printers] and [print$] sections and change "guest ok = no" to yes, then it will stop prompting for a password, although, then anyone on the network can print to it without an account on the samba machine. [06:26] when i enter my password and log in , the screen goes blank for a second and I am thrown back to the login screen [06:26] is that like M$ explorer? [06:27] i_is_broke: lol...I thought he was being descriptive...i.e. "it was awesome" [06:27] EastDallas: Lines 298 & 308 if your editor tells you which line you're on. [06:27] EastDallas, no that is the name of it. [06:27] i_is_broke: got it [06:27] purple_mouse, its more like gnome, kde xfce, just uses its own wm settings. [06:28] @Slart: how do I start it a wm from a terminal? Do you mean loggin out of X and then starting it? [06:28] Powertool08: Thanks [06:28] EastDallas: np [06:28] ok, I'm on the steep learning curve from M$ [06:29] ? [06:29] purple_mouse, keep this bookmarked : http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic [06:29] sumit917, have you logged out and checked to see if it was added to your list of window managers? [06:30] !test [06:30] yes, I'm alive. [06:30] sumit917: I'm not really sure, actually... but try checking the logs for any error messages.. there should be something in there about what happens [06:30] i_is_broke: yeah...its added to my list of window managers ( you mean that drop down list in kdm, right?) [06:30] i installed this fnfx thing to my computer and i think it did something to the kernel.. is there a way to update the kernel or do something like that so it can be normal... thanks in advanced [06:30] powertool08: do I need to restart samba? [06:30] hello everyone [06:30] sumit917, yes [06:31] sumit917: awesome & is the command to start it iirc [06:31] Anyone have Thinkpad T400 here ? [06:31] I installed 9.10 and my hard drive bay is hot. My palm can feel the heat [06:31] it is at 41 deg. C [06:31] can somebody help me let ALSA handle my microphone completely? pulseaudio is giving me a pain in the *** [06:31] sumit917, i havent used it.just know a little from what i have read. [06:32] thank you, done, ALSA vs PulseAudio - two ways of achieving the same result? [06:32] i_is_broke: It couldnt be due to faulty video drivers, could it? [06:32] sumit917: you have to stop any other wm like compiz [06:32] ctmjr: I am not using compiz [06:32] No one with Thinkpads here ? [06:32] sumit917, i think ctmjr could help you better then i can with it. [06:33] purple_mouse, pulse_audio is a sound multiplexer... not a driver [06:33] n08l3J: not a T400 [06:33] powertool08: just restarted samba, same problem [06:33] n08l3J: I am using a Thinkpad T43. What can I do for you? [06:33] n08l3J: never had that issue with a T61 [06:33] so PA is just a driver? [06:33] sumit917: i did not say you where [06:33] ctmjr: At the login prompt no wm is active, right? so selecting awesome from kdm and then logging in should start it, shouldnt it? BTW which logs should I check for errors? [06:34] I dont know but the hard drive enclousre is getting hot [06:34] purple_mouse, no. : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [06:34] I have it dual boot and Windoze doesn't do it [06:34] purple_mouse, http://www.linux.com/news/hardware/drivers/8100-why-you-should-care-about-pulseaudio-and-how-to-start-doing-it [06:34] is it excesive HD access by system ? [06:34] which cause the heat [06:34] n08l3J: check with 'iotop' [06:35] ctmjr: could it be due to faulty video drivers(although that is unlikely)? [06:35] hm... i tried it, it usually says Kjournal [06:35] gnome-terminal and the stuff like that [06:35] sumit917: what errors do you get when you type awesome & in a terminal [06:36] n08l3J: I'd look at the first line with the Totals [06:36] jtaji, what is your hard drive [06:36] i think i should just remove pulse again... [06:37] ctmjr: you mean logging out of X and then typing awesome & ? [06:37] n08l3J: I have a 7200rpm 200GB Hitachi I put in [06:37] 7.58 K/s sounds normal [06:37] or it just went to 15.18 K/s [06:38] that's nothing [06:38] sumit917: no open a terminal window and then run it if you log out of X i know you will get errors [06:38] is there any way i can open a sound device in /dev directly? [06:38] thank you for info. Bit of a flood of info... just trying to skype on bluetooth headset...a challenge so far [06:39] i have Western Digital [06:39] ctmjr: i'll try that and get back to you... [06:39] I am not sure if it plays nice with Ubuntu [06:39] wolter, there was /dev/dsp and /dev/snd/* [06:39] *is [06:39] n08l3J: there's really no such thing as an incompatible hard drive [06:39] i agree [06:39] cn28h, yes but is there any particular way to use to open them? [06:39] but this is thing is hot, i can't even type there [06:39] n08l3J: first thing I'd suspect is how is your system fan and/or cpu fan being run [06:39] okay, how would i do that jtaji ? [06:40] wolter, I believe you can open /dev/dsp and use ioctl()s to control it (that might be OSS, though) [06:40] somebody here has any problem with cd live ubuntu after windows 7 install? [06:40] n08l3J: good question, I've never had to mess with it... I believe you can use lm-sensors to check temps and fan speeds [06:40] i am got >> ramfs: no media cd live system found [06:41] n08l3J: does it sound like the fan is being run the same as in windows? [06:41] n08l3J: I know mine is pretty quiet so it could be hard to tell === noone is now known as mezquitale [06:41] same here, it barely makes any noise [06:41] pulseaudio is broken in ubuntu, i removed it on my laptop and am currently testing it on my desktop [06:42] im using kget, how to limit the download speed? [06:42] ctmjr: i did that and the terminal says that another wm is already running. [06:42] please anyone help me [06:42] !ask | zinox [06:42] zinox: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:42] i can't boot any linux live cd :/ [06:43] ctmjr: which logs should I check for errors? [06:43] powertool08: Just reinstalled it...problems the first time I did it, so I was trying to avoid that...but it worked. [06:43] zinox, have you verified the cd work with another machine? [06:43] i wanna know how to fix it [06:43] yep works [06:43] is there a posibility that alsa is not detecting my microphone correctly when pulse is running on top of it? [06:43] i found needed files, but now i have to edit pathes in them, because Code::Blocks doesnt search them in their folders. when i was writing with Delphi i could add directory with units in project settings, is there anything like that in code::blocks? [06:43] i try with 3 differ live cd [06:43] !who | zinox [06:43] zinox: 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 :) [06:44] wolter, install gnome-alsamixer [06:44] mezquitale, its installed [06:44] sumit: that is there error you need to stop kde's wm i do not know what it uses and then run awesome should work [06:45] i tryed too with archlinux live cd and it can't found sda partitions [06:45] :/ [06:45] *there/the [06:45] wolter, ok so you can record yourself but you cant hear yourself in real time? [06:45] hello [06:46] !hello | afroman [06:46] ctmjr: but i should still be able to run it from the login screen, right? at the login screen there is no wm active. [06:46] afroman: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [06:46] mezquitale, system does not detect input from my mic [06:46] s [06:46] mezquitale, all i can here when i record is static sound [06:46] i am posting a screeny, hold on [06:46] wolter, what application are you using? [06:46] mezquitale, gnome-sound-recorder [06:47] but pavumeter and every other app show the same results [06:47] mezquitale, http://imagebin.ca/view/Ohb5Fl8.html [06:47] hey [06:47] o hai [06:47] Wolfcastle, sudo apt-get install audacity [06:47] newbie here. I tried to install, what I thought was. a better graphic driver and now everything is screwed up. the x server is runing on low [06:48] wolter, sudo apt-get isntall audacity [06:48] my xorg keeps spiking my cpu usage up to 60% or so momentarily degrading game performance severely since doing updates... I've tried different versions of my nvidia drivers, different kernel revs, disabling compiz and nothing seems to work. Anyone know what I can do? [06:48] mezquitale, ok, this will take a little while, task in process [06:49] mezquitale, done [06:49] sumit: you really should make sure it is working before you have it load on start but you can try it [06:50] mezquitale, after windows 7 install.. ubuntu live doesn't work.. i think that i created a new partition using windows 7 partition tool and linux can't recognize partition table now :/ do you know how fix it? [06:50] I tried to install, what I thought was. a better graphic driver and now everything is screwed up. the x server is running on low. how can I fix it? [06:50] mezquitale, should I quite banshee (currently playing music) [06:50] wolter, thats ok, when you start audacity the trick is to choose the correct mic, you can do it within the application [06:50] I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 on a laptop and it doesn't have dedicated Home/End keys (I have to use the Number Pad equivalents with NumPad Lock Off) but I can't hold down Shift+Home/Shift+End to highlight text. How can I achieve this behaviour? My problem appears to be the same as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1077295 except I'm using Gnome/normal Ubuntu [06:50] zinox, you installed grub first then windows7? [06:50] yep [06:51] mezquitale, ok, where do i choose it? [06:51] Does anyone know if hardy server supports 10GBE Fiber Optic Networking? [06:51] but no live cd work here.. i am try too linux system rescue and not works too [06:51] lolwut [06:52] linux can't create ramfs because him not found any partition :/ [06:52] S0LIDUS: you can get pcie 10gig nics? [06:52] mezquitale, ok, audacity detected various mics, how do i record? [06:52] win7 sucks a lot [06:52] you can download a lot of pr0n with 10GE [06:52] i am angry because that [06:52] anybody? how do I fix the graphic driver? [06:52] frogzoo, Yep I got the hardware just wanted to know if Ubuntu supports it. [06:53] afroman: don't get high next time [06:53] SOLIDUS: Do you know if Debian supports it? [06:53] S0LIDUS: oh, there's an intel, so you'll be able to get a linux driver for it [06:53] Brack10: I wish I was [06:53] afroman: I think we both know why your graphics drivers are screwed up [06:53] Brack10, Its for server use! [06:53] S0LIDUS: ;) [06:54] pr0n server [06:54] hi all [06:54] Brack10: and why is that? [06:54] frogzoo, Nice, thanks for the info! [06:54] wolter, yes quit all other appz using sound, to record hit the red button [06:54] afroman: because you got high, because you got high, because you got hi-igh [06:54] can anybody tell me how to open games in ubuntu which are working in xp they are not opening in ubuntu [06:54] I was gonna rtfm, but then I got high [06:55] Brack10: Stop that, please. [06:55] Hi, I just installed Kubuntu dual-boot with Windows 7. === kazoo is now known as `brandon` [06:55] afroman: what kind of card? [06:55] Kubuntu sucks, I want to remove it. Can I just go into Windows 7 and delete the partitions that Kubuntu created while installing? [06:55] zinox, it seems that the live cd's dont work, either that or they were burned at a higher rate than what your cd-rom is able to handle [06:55] ati mobility hd 3470 [06:55] Or is there something complicated that I don't know that could mess up my booting if I do that. I don't know. [06:55] Artelus, just log in into kubuntu and install gnome desktop [06:56] mezquitale, no man.. no way [06:56] Artelus: are you using the windows bootloader or grub [06:56] mezquitale, i had install ubuntu with the same cd [06:56] zinox, you install ubuntu with the same cd on the same machine? [06:56] Brack10, I don't know === NeT_DeMoN_ is now known as NeT_DeMoN [06:56] <`brandon`> Hello, i installed Ubuntu 9.10 and when it was done installing it loaded and went to "sh-grub: [06:56] mezquitale, i tryed boot linux using 7 differ cds.. ubuntu , archlinux, slackware , debian , fedora , mandriva, gentoo and no these cds works for me after windows 7 install.. [06:56] <`brandon`> Hello, i installed Ubuntu 9.10 and when it was done installing it loaded and went to "sh-grub" any idea's? [06:56] yep [06:56] Brack10, I am using Grub 1.97, it is very different than the Grub I am used to [06:56] mezquitale, nice! it recorded! very low though [06:56] the problem is not in cd [06:57] mezquitale, now, I guess this is to test which is the working dev and use it with pulse? [06:57] Brack10, I can't even find menu.lst inside the grub folder. [06:57] zinox, it seems like the cd's are fine then, looks like the cd-rom is hosed [06:57] Brack10: ati mobility hd 3470 [06:57] win7 did any crap thing here [06:57] and I don't really want to use Linux anyway, so I would want to remove it from my computer and undo the changes I've made [06:57] not too [06:57] Artelus: Doesn't use menu.lst any more, it uses a bunch of scripts to generate it for you. You have to edit them and run 'sudo update-grub2' [06:57] wolter, you dont need to do anything, audacity does it on its own with pulse, all you have to do is pick the correct mic [06:57] i have installed windows 7 few minutes ago [06:58] So, can I just go into the partition editor -inside- windows 7 and -delete- both the Ubuntu and swap partitions? [06:58] or is that bad? [06:58] oh man your a genius mezquitale !!!!!! [06:58] I have to go soon so please help me T_T [06:58] mezquitale, now that it works, do you know how I could dB boost it? [06:58] is there a way to erase ati drivers totally? [06:58] I am in disk management right now [06:58] mezquitale, win7 partition tool fuck partition table for linux not work in any pc [06:58] !language | zinox [06:58] zinox: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:58] wolter, you could run audacity through jack [06:58] <`brandon`> Hello, i installed Ubuntu 9.10 and when it was done installing it loaded and went to "sh-grub" any idea;s? [06:58] really!! [06:59] mezquitale, what do you mean through jack? [06:59] Artelus: Scripts are now located at /etc/grub.d/ but you probably only want to edit the stuff found at /etc/default/grub [06:59] _FACEPALM_ [06:59] Answer my question! [06:59] Artelus: Don't forget to run sudo update-grub2 afterwards [06:59] God, I have like minutes left [06:59] zinox, yes that can happen but you should be able to use a live CD, if you have tried 7 different live CD's that work on other machines then most likely it's your cd-rom, replace the cd-rom or install a live CD in a usb thumb drive [06:59] that doesn't answer my question [07:00] what controls the screen brightness in karmic? I'm setting it manually with setpci, but something keeps changing it back [07:00] My question is, can I just remove the two partitions that the ubuntu-installation created to restore my computer back to the way it was? [07:00] Can I just go into windows 6 disk management and DELETE the two linux partitions? [07:00] <`brandon`> !grub | `brandon1` [07:00] `brandon1`: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [07:00] <`brandon`> !grub | `brandon` [07:00] `brandon`, please see my private message [07:00] or will that mess up the MBR? [07:00] mezquitale, man.. i have booted windows xp live cd and it works fine [07:00] YES OR NO [07:00] Artelus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:00] If you want to delete Ubuntu then make sure you redo your MBR so it points back to Windows 7 (?) which you'll probably have to do using your Windows 7 Installation media [07:01] is there a way to erase ati drivers totally? [07:01] wolter, JACK is a software that allows you to use application, it works like a mixer, you get an amplifier software, recording software=audacity, use JACK to connect them both [07:01] i have tryed so many ways for find whats happening here [07:01] Artelus: yes [07:01] really, i don't know what do :/ [07:01] mezquitale, what you're telling me is that with jack I can get my microphone to get a system-wide dB boost? [07:01] zinox, so you can boot up a windows xp cd on your machine but you cant boot up using a linux live cd?!? [07:01] Yes, it will mess up the MBR, or yes, I can do that? [07:01] how to know how many files in the folder with the help of ls??? [07:01] Jeez -.- [07:01] mezquitale, yep [07:02] Artelus: yes, can do so, no mbr-damage [07:02] alright, thank you [07:02] anybody? [07:02] linux can't recognize partition table then him redirect me to ramfs [07:02] !anybody | afroman [07:02] afroman: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [07:02] only solution?? uninstall windows 7 ?? i can't believe [07:03] zinox, you can reinstall grub2 [07:03] how? [07:03] does anyone know how to erase ati drivers? [07:03] !grub2 | zinox [07:03] zinox: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [07:03] if i don't have linux access [07:03] freeride: ls | wc -l might work [07:03] !ati | afroman [07:03] afroman: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:03] no cd works here [07:03] afroman: uninstall them [07:03] Slart thanls a lot!

Paraj is correct.. that includes folders.. put a switch on ls to only show files and it will work better [07:05] Paraj: ah.. didn't think of that.. thanks [07:05] i will try use another cd drive [07:05] jtaji, any ideas how fast the speed of the fan should be ? [07:05] Paraj, are you using karmic? [07:05] mezquitale, 9.10 [07:05] cooling fan [07:05] brb [07:05] mezquitale, copy pasted from before "I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 on a laptop and it doesn't have dedicated Home/End keys (I have to use the Number Pad equivalents with NumPad Lock Off) but I can't hold down Shift+Home/Shift+End to highlight text. How can I achieve this behaviour? My problem appears to be the same as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1077295 except I'm using Gnome/normal Ubuntu" [07:06] !ask | Paraj [07:06] n08l3J, that all depends on how hot things are [07:06] Paraj: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:06] n08l3J: what are you seeing? [07:06] I didn't ask to ask a question, I asked whether anyone was here who could help me, I had already asked it [07:07] I am seeing 1983 rpm [07:07] when i plug in my camera's sd card it auto-mounts, i want to find the device for it. how do i do that? [07:07] and max temp of 42 deg C [07:07] no no 45 [07:08] n08l3J, my eeepc's fan is currently at 80% @ 2360 rpm [07:08] ozzloy: mount in trml [07:08] i m using external web cam .....but it is not working .....pls suggest [07:08] ozzloy, sudo fdisk -l [07:08] APERSON, thanks [07:09] Paraj, you could try playing around with the keyboard settings, it might be some setting in there. make sure youre using the correct Keyboard Model [07:09] i am not sure how to find out the max rpm it supports [07:09] any ideas [07:09] n08l3J, look up the fan's model number [07:09] any suggestion [07:09] ozzloy: If it's already mounted, just run 'mount', and look for the directory that's it's mounted in. [07:09] I think my non-free codecs may be broken or something. I'm having trouble with banshee and the movieplayer that comes with ubuntu for viewing any movies/listening to sound, the files skip and are much shorter than they should be, also the players lock up. [07:10] mezquitale, yeah I tried looking around in the Keyboard settings and Keyboard Layout Options. couldn't find anything similar to what was mentioned in that post. I should know where but I've just never had issues with any keyboards in Linux before [07:10] I get all the websites that sell it however no info on the manufaturer, my model is 45N6146 [07:11] i m using external web cam ..but it is not working.......is there any soln [07:11] gerzel, you could try a: sudo aptitude reinstall gstreamer0.10-plugins-? [07:11] n08l3J: did the drive come with your thinkpad? [07:11] can any one help [07:11] ? [07:11] is there anyone who was writing GNOME applets? [07:11] Paraj, another thing you have to look for is to make sure youre using the correct settings when you log in, when logging in you can specify your keyboard after you put in your user name, this is only in karmic, then afterwards make the desired changes, if it still doesn't work I suggest you look in launchpad and if you dont see a bug related to your issue then file a bug, I seem to have the same issue [07:11] !patience | rakesh [07:11] rakesh: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [07:11] yes jtaji [07:11] n08l3J: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=79136 [07:12] "num lock" doesnt work in my desktop [07:12] n08l3J: one person in that thread, lenovo had them return it, and it solved the problem [07:12] I have seen that before [07:12] n08l3J: or actually just sent a replacement [07:12] aperson: Doing so now, will tell you the results when finished. Will this need a restart or will I be able to test right away? [07:12] ok.......i dont think its a big prob that any one cant help me [07:12] ... :( I deleted my network connection. SoS! [07:12] mezquitale, is it a bug or is it expected behaviour? Either way, if you're like me and don't have dedicated Home/End/PgUp/PgDn keys it's annoying. For me it doesn't just fail it actually types the corresponding number instead [07:12] hm... I shall try contacting them then [07:12] gerzel, no restart required [07:13] 1 [07:13] n08l3J: I realize you said it doesn't happen under windows.... but it's worth a shot, they do support linux to some extent [07:13] gerzel, you'd be wise to restart w/e applications that may be using the codecs though [07:13] Aperson: No change even restarting the apps [07:13] jtaji, the user who posted that the returned HD works didn't specify about the OS they run [07:13] n08l3J: do you know if it's a 7200 rpm drive, because those will naturally be warmer than a 5400 rpm [07:13] gerzel: what are you trying to play? [07:13] rakesh, it's not that we can't, it just that we're occupied [07:14] Hey, I was wondering if anyone could tell if how I could take a ubuntu Install disk and somehow move the files to a san disk that way I can install ubuntu on a laptop mini [07:14] It affects both banshee, movieplayer(totem?) and firefox when I try to play a movie over the internet [07:14] tell me * [07:14] jtaji, n08l3J lenovo uses refurbished hard drives in their "new" machines, which is a little surprising, new should mean new [07:14] skylar, boot the live cd and run the usb creator with a flash drive plugged in [07:14] gerzel: what format? [07:14] it is 5400 [07:14] I ordered mine with a small drive and replaced it right away anyway, same with RAM [07:14] is it really necessary to remove PulseAudio to use/try ALSAmixer? [07:14] .mp3 .avi, some flash movies [07:15] skylar, system>administration [07:15] mezquitale, wtf that is just wrong [07:15] Shame Lenovo shame !! [07:15] Paraj, it's definetely a bug, if you click on "num lock" it should work, it used to work for me but now it's disabled in karmic, I havent filed a bug report because I use the number pad very ver rarely [07:15] gerzel: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:15] mezquitale, Aha I think I found it thanks to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=873029 They've renamed the expandable category in "Keyboard Layout Options" to "Miscellaneous compatibility options" [07:15] Thanks [07:16] n08l3J, if you bought your machine new open it up and look at the hard drive, dont be surprised if the hard drive says "refurished" [07:16] APERSON: Do you think it would work using a ipod in disk mode ? [07:16] It does not affect, or seem to rythmbox [07:16] skylar, it may want to format the whole thing [07:16] I can play mp3's just fine which is why at first I thought it was just banshee screwing up [07:16] Paraj, thanks, let me go and see if it works on my machine as well [07:16] mezquitale, Yup it works, problem solved [07:16] skylar, I'd say give it a go at your own risk :) [07:16] They are installed [07:16] APERSON: Alright then, do you knwo how big the flash drive would have to be roughly I think the largest I have is 1 GB [07:16] Aperson: restricted extras are installed [07:17] skylar, 1gb is more than enough [07:17] Yeah, But I have 126 Gb of music on it that I don't want to lose :D [07:17] coolio Thanks [07:18] what controls the screen brightness in karmic? I'm setting it manually with setpci, but something keeps changing it back [07:19] APERSON: Probably gnome-power-manager, but possibly also X itself.

[07:25] wow there are alot of people on here... [07:25] APERSON: Always advise that people try the built-in tools first, please. [07:25] And only then use Envy(-NG) [07:25] wgrant: I wasn't, I was just saying it was better then envy in my experience. I originally said we should use the "Hardware Drivers" applet [07:26] wgrant: APERSON, Shouldn't we be using "Hardware Drivers" anyway now that it works with nVidia? [07:26] wgrant, the built in tools weren't working for the user, and I did recommend envyng [07:26] Paraj: Ah, sorry, missed that.

Any reason why everytime I reboot - power up - etc. my volume is set to 0? [07:28] error404notfound: Most distributions are very tightly bound to their package management system. You can't just substitute nother one in. [07:29] error404notfound: There are Debian source packages. [07:29] mikeru: you might need to save alsa's state info [07:29] Aperson: restart seems to have fixed the problem for now, but restarts have before. I think it may have something to do with cedega/my runing wow as wow's sound seems to interfere often times with the sound of everything else. [07:29] error404notfound: Which is what you get when you run 'apt-get source SOMEPACKAGE' [07:29] Often I get one or the other.

[07:29] What svn client should I use for Ubuntu? I used TortoiseSVN on Windows. [07:29] Slix: svn [07:29] gerzel, wine will do that, in my experience [07:29] Slix: which is in the subversion package [07:29] APERSON: I'm pretty new at this stuff and Uh Having issues withe the usb creator. Under the Disk to use San Disk U3 Titanium and 1gb File system. [07:29] Aperson: So its a long standing bug? [07:30] Err, is that gui? [07:30] Slix: no [07:30] gerzel, I don' think I'd say that, it's more of a conflict with the audio systems [07:30] skylar_, what's your problem? [07:30] APERSON: Sometimes it works perfectly. Sometimes it doesnt. [07:30] It says the san disk has no to free space so I am assuming that i should use the 1gb file system ? I'm used to windows and i've always seen/ used the San disk lable. [07:30] Why not use a gui client then? [07:31] Slix: The GUI's for Ubuntu/GNOME aren't exactly rich in contextual features like TortoiseSVN. [07:31] Slix: most compiling is done by command line, so I would assume that it would make more sense to use a cli svn client [07:31] skylar_, 1gb filesystem *should* be your flash drive [07:31] o_o Most? Code::blocks doesn't offer a built-in compiler? [07:31] skylar_, make sure it's empty first [07:31] anyone know how to list all installed packages by install date? [07:31] Slix: it uses gcc [07:32] Yeah, I did I got nothing on it. [07:32] But not without a gui! x_x [07:32] sheep: It can use anything you want can't it? At least the last time I used it, it could [07:32] Slix: If you really want a GUI for SVN, try RapidSVN. Just don't expect as many nice features as TortoiseSVN [07:32] skylar_, did you empty the trash on it? [07:32] i'm using dpkg --get-selections [07:33] ? [07:33] * wgrant would use bzr, bzr-svn and bzr-explorer as a Subversion GUI. [07:33] Slix, RapidSVN? [07:33] Slix: I was specifically referring to the fact that most projects that use svn are compiled using the common ./configure && make && make install method [07:33] hello people [07:33] skylar_, open up the drive, and go to file>empty trash [07:33] Slix: they might use code::blocks or another IDE for the actual development [07:33] sheep: what about those projects that are compiled with 'ant'?

[07:47] blackstar_: ubuntu broke the fan? [07:47] petsounds, I'm sorry: sudo chown yourusername:yoursusername * [07:47] I am new to linux and try to control the fan speed on my thinkpad t400. I am reading the documentation of the thinkpad-acpi [07:47] Thorr the fan does not work untill u put the computer to sleep and then wake it up [07:47] can some one explain the following [07:47] APERSON: There is a way to remove windows during the ubuntu install process right ? [07:48] "To enable them, the module parameter "fan_control=1" must be given to thinkpad-acpi" [07:48] skylar_, yes sir [07:48] skylar_, just follow the installation instructions, you'll see the options during the partitioning portion of the setup [07:48] hi [07:48] du -b doesn't report the right amount of bytes =[ [07:48] Oi, if I want to remove ubuntu from my pc, am I able to just, delete the partition? [07:48] To add all the files in a dir as variables, would this do it? y=0; for i in *; do y=$((y+1)); echo $i >> "myfile$y"; done [07:48] calebgamb, yep [07:49] Or do I have to go through hoops editing the mbr? [07:49] calebgamb yes [07:49] Oh ok [07:49] calebgamb, that's the easiest way to remove any os [07:49] APERSON, ok. thanks [07:49] But what about the boot menu [07:49] sudo rm -rf / [07:49] jtaji, you know about thinkpad-acpi ? [07:49] is the easiest way to remove your filesystem [07:49] no i dont [07:49] calebgamb, that's offtopic [07:49] Mmk [07:49] I am I just popped the drive in > install ubuntu but am on a sort of bios screen says Built in commands type 'help for for a list' [07:49] Sorry? [07:50] dont try that command [07:50] mmk [07:50] petsounds: how is that off topic? ubuntu changed it... [07:50] I should totally use fdisk :p [07:50] Inorite [07:50] Hi All, [07:50] anyone using xchat? [07:50] No [07:50] !anyone [07:50] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [07:50] Mr_Lordi, yeah me .. [07:50] APERSON: Should I be typing a command in on this screen ? I tried continue Does Nothing. [07:51] Mr_Lordi: sure, a #xchat channel even exists [07:51] skylar_, for what? [07:51] !ot > prem [07:51] APERSON: I just popped the drive in > install ubuntu but am on a sort of bios screen says Built in commands type 'help for for a list' [07:51] !ot > prem_ [07:51] prem_, please see my private message [07:51] calebgamb, easy on the bot commands [07:51] Lol [07:51] prem_: is it possible to "autocomplete" a users name when addressing them? [07:51] Mr_Lordi: yes [07:51] Mr_Lordi: sure [07:51] Mr_Lordi: use the TAB key [07:51] Mr_Lordi, yeah press TAB [07:52] would anyone be able to help me some internet filtering and accountability software? I've looked into ubuntu CE and it has DansGuardian as the filter, however, the problem is that i can login with the root pass, which i obviously know and NEED to know to perform a linux box correctly, so it's pointless. i really need some help here if anyone can take a little bit of time and walk me through some good techniques please. [07:52] prem_, thanks [07:52] i'm using ubuntu 9.1064bit btw [07:52] Mr_Lordi: check your preferences [07:52] skylar_, you should be able to set usb as the first boot option, or bring up a menu to select a device [07:52] I did [07:52] ctop, idk what you talking about [07:52] Thats How i Booted from the disk to get to the install options [07:52] * darkzlayer "debugging" [07:53] How could I mount /proc/bus/usb/devices like I use in debian? I have a binary file to import to my ubuntu 9.10 [07:53] is it possible to power down 2 cores on a quad core machine and bring them back up when necessary ? [07:53] in the old grub, I believe the file you edited was /boot/grub/menu.lst...or something like that...in grub 2, what/where is that file? [07:53] anyone knows why sometimes my sound in ubuntu 9.10 works fine and sometimes it doesn't? btw, i'm using ati [07:53] Psinetic: you don't need root === chris_ is now known as Mr_Lordi [07:53] lstarnes, yes i do. i'm constantly updating, installing, upgrading, etc. on my system, none of which will work without sudo [07:53] Geoffrey2, check the grub2 wiki, you dont edit the file directly [07:54] Is it possible to get vmware on ubuntu? [07:54] petsounds: you told calebgamb that talking about the mbr was offtopic. [07:54] Geoffrey2, /msg ubottu grub2 [07:54] !grub2 Geoffrey2 [07:54] Psinetic: sudo isn't exactly root, and it doesn't use root's password, but it does use root's account for executing [07:54] gah [07:54] Geoffrey2, /etc/default/grub [07:54] calebgamb, I just installed vmware workstation 7 on ubuntu 9.10 64bit [07:54] it works like a charm [07:54] !grub For reference: > Geoffrey2 [07:54] Psinetic: what it can and can't do can be controlled using the /etc/sudoers file [07:54] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:55] APERSON: After booting from flash, selected install, loads then goes to screen thats says "BusyBox v1.1.3 Built in shell. [07:55] prem_: i was checking preferences for a way to replace "," with ":" [07:55] lstarnes, is there a way that i can still use sudo to updrade and do everything i need to do but have a DIFFERENT password for my accountability software and internet filter? [07:55] skylar_, doesn't sound like your flashdrive liked the install [07:55] Psinetic: put them on a different account [07:55] isolat, when it doesn't work, is noise or not sound [07:55] yeah I suppose so . [07:55] lstarnes, how exactly? [07:55] Psinetic: or, allow everything EXCEPT those two programs in sudoers [07:56] brianherman: what part of illinois? [07:56] prem_: Isnt it windows only? [07:56] Psinetic: and only allow a different account to use those with sudo [07:56] lstarnes, but wouldn't i be able to turn around and just re-edit it to allow it again? [07:56] Psinetic: you could [07:56] ctop, scroll up.. he's talking about crack. thats why i told him that is offtopic and !o4o [07:57] Anybody know how could I mount /proc/bus/usb/devices like I use in debian? I have a binary file to import to my ubuntu 9.10 that use it [07:57] lstarnes, i don't want to even have the option to do that. i want it to be very hard to break this system. i'm a computer it, and i'm a Christian, trying to keep myself accountable. it's hard to do when you know how to bypass everything on your computer [07:57] n08l3j: do you want to lower it or raise it? [07:57] raise it [07:57] it is currently at auto [07:57] Psinetic: consider the christian edition of ubuntu [07:57] skylar_, I'd try to format the drive and try running the usb creator again [07:57] I am trying it to be full speed [07:58] lstarnes, i believe i'm using that already [07:58] Psinetic: largely, it's up to sheer force of will to control yourself [07:58] skylar_, you can do that via the System>administration>gparted [07:58] when I tried formating it in the usb creator I got some error. [07:58] lstarnes, i've tried that already, doesn't work XD [07:58] Psinetic: no system is unbreakable, even if it has the best security software and tightest configuration in the world [07:59] skylar_, there should be an item under system>administration, it should be either partition manager or gparted [07:59] lstarnes, well...i was looking for a linux version of safe eyes, that seemed to do the trick before...but i can't find one [07:59] or even one close to it [07:59] petsounds: i think he meant a cracked pc. not the drug :-) [07:59] skylar_, there'll be a drop-down box to the right of the app, use that to select your flash drive [07:59] Safe eyes dude... Get avg free for Linux [07:59] brianherman, I am reading here "http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt" [08:00] brianherman, actually http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt#1145 [08:00] n08l3j: is it crashing? [08:00] calebgamb, do you even know what i'm talking about? avg is an antivirus...safe eyes isn't an antivirus....o.0 [08:00] no damn thing is hot !! [08:00] skylar_, once you have it selected, you can delete the partition and make a new fat32 one [08:00] Safe eyes? Isn't that a firewall or something [08:01] calebgamb, no, it's not [08:01] calebgamb: I think it does content filtering [08:01] calebgamb, it's an internet content filter [08:01] ctop, sure but that's still offtopic for offtopic (-: [08:01] I think avg does that maybe [08:01] APERSON: I can't even find the partition manager Give me a couple minutes [08:01] Idk [08:01] Psinetic: what do you mean by "accountability software"? [08:02] n08l3j: well, I hate to say this but .... laptops run hot [08:02] Yup [08:02] Especially with 100 programs open. [08:03] I'm installing it. [08:03] lstarnes, i'm a Christian. being a Christian I've taken on a completely new life, and i'm still tempted with other things, like looking at pornography, that i need to be held accountable for. in this sense, i find somenoe who is willing to keep me accountable, and by that, i lock up my system so that i can't bypass it and they keep me accountable to my faith. [08:03] Safe Eyes is garbage [08:03] ok, thanks folks [08:03] Paraj, got any better ideas then? [08:03] what's up with the winblows terminology in ubuntu? [08:04] geniune ubuntu software? [08:04] syrius, huh? [08:04] brianherman, it doesn't run this hot in windoze [08:04] Psinetic: How can you be held accountable if God is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent [08:04] The problem cannot be reported: [08:04] This is not a genuine Ubuntu package [08:04] Psinetic: here's an idea: setup a webcam in your house so that anyone can watch what you do. let the world keep you accountable. [08:04] syrius: Obvious troll is obvious. :( [08:04] Psinetic: you could label the cam 'god' or something. [08:05] Psinetic: ultimately one person has to have administrative control of your system, there's no technical solution to the administrator not trusting themselves [08:05] what's up with the "Genuine Ubuntu package" [08:05] Psinetic: If god is everywhere and knows whats going to happen how can you be held responsible [08:05] syrius: what do you get from lsb_release -a? [08:05] Genuine is winblows terminology [08:05] Psinetic: A filtering proxy like polipo? but if you're just filtering yourself then there isn't anything stopping you from disabling it as well [08:05] Psinetic: if it's the internet connection you're looking to restrict I guess one of the proxy filter things might be useful.. check out dansguardian and whatever other apps are good these days.. there are downloadable rules you can apply for different categories [08:06] Slart, what good is an internet proxy when i can just turn it off? [08:06] this has to be software based [08:06] people just label people they don't like on irc as trolls mobi-sheep [08:06] something that it itself has a password requirement separate from the sudo password. [08:06] most people classified as trolls are not so [08:06] Psinetic: what you want might not be possible on linux unfortunately [08:06] Psinetic: even solutions for windows are likely evasible [08:06] I m having some access issues, I am trying to modify the pwm feature in the manual mode in this directory -> (/sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_hwmon) [08:06] Psinetic: creating some kind of setup that you, with physical access to the computer, can't bypass is going to be very very very hard [08:06] if you want to see some real trolls join undernet network === reactor_ is now known as reactor [08:07] however system won't let me write to a file [08:07] slart, i've done it in windows with safe eyes [08:07] bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted [08:07] Psinetic: nope.. you might *think* you've done it in windows [08:07] APERSON: I gave up I formated it ect clicked apply operations and promptly get a error :D [08:07] lstarnes, if it's not possible in linux then why does everyone praise linux for being so "secure" when you can't even lock down your own system? === brianherman_ is now known as brianherman [08:08] Psinetic: security does not mean that you can't control your own system [08:08] Psinetic: it means that others can't [08:08] Psinetic: Your only secure as the weakest link the weakest link is often the User [08:08] lstarnes, makes sense [08:08] Psinetic: It is possible if you know how, but protecting a system from yourself is difficult when you can't even place trust on the operator/administrator configuring the system for security. [08:08] others don't know much about linux [08:08] so they prefer to stay in winblows [08:08] Psinetic: securing a computer where the bad guy has physical access is hard.. very hard.. [08:08] Also I know of the devs who made Safe Eyes, they could fix a memory leak or spot a bof if their lives depending on it. It's rubbish [08:08] couldnt* [08:09] jtaji, any clue on why I am not able to write to /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_hwmon/pwm1_enable ? [08:09] I keep getting bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted [08:09] Psinetic: hire someone to be an external admin to your system. give them the root password and have them install your proxy. then you can' teasily break it... [08:09] slart, well i know i can set a bios password to keep from booting to cd or usb [08:09] Psinetic: theoretically you could get around any restrictions that you make by burning a livecd of ubuntu or another distro and reformatting your hard disk [08:09] Psinetic: which you can easily disable by removing the battery from the motherboard [08:09] slart, ....true. >_> [08:11] How to know that i have the latest Google chrome version? [08:11] Psinetic: Or you can use the rubber hose method [08:11] Psinetic: look.. this isn't exactly a new problem.. it's been asked before.. people making computers available for unsupervised locations in schools and what not.. you need to harden yourself.. not your computer =/ [08:12] slart, i've been trying that for four years now, i keep breaking the security and doing whatever i want anyways. [08:12] brianherman, i didn't ask for sarcasm [08:12] Psinetic, then seek counseling not a sysadmin, though shane2's idea is also workable [08:13] Psinetic: I am being serious [08:13] How to check that I have the latest Google chrome version? or how to get latest? [08:13] Psinetic: cage the computer with a padlock. setup the filtering proxie and get someone else to change the root password. that'll keep you 'safe'. [08:13] ValentineX: google have only released one beta thus far [08:13] ValentineX, update it. go to the help-> about page and check it, go to their main page, it's not difficult. [08:14] alright, well thanks for the help guys, i really appreciate it. [08:14] wtf I formated hard drive I , I used usb creator and I still get the same screen after ubuntu loads ! [08:14] [Karmic, GNOME] What is the intended way to start Empathy? To start it by clicking on Indicator applet > Empathy; Send and receive messages? [08:14] skylar_, delete ubuntu. [08:14] XD [08:14] Psinetic: that about page taking me to chromium link :( that i do not want, seem ardchoille is right [08:15] seems* [08:15] ValentineX: I've been keeping up with google chrome [08:15] ValentineX, when you open any application, it has a help link, and by clicking "about" it tells you the version number, which you can then verify on the main page where you download the software [08:15] Psinetic: You can also try getting a lojack for a laptop [08:15] ValentineX: there is a PPA that provides daily builds though [08:16] Psinetic: I think it is like 90 dollars [08:16] Has anyone had any experience with Ultima 8 through dosbox? :D [08:16] This guys has the same problem Psinetic http://www.techsupportforum.com/alternative-computing/linux-support/207451-ubuntu-busybox-v1-1-3-debian-1-1-1-3-5ubuntu7-built-shell-ash.html [08:16] ValentineX: try this page: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=chromium-browser [08:16] brianherman, i'm on a desktop [08:16] ardchoille: PPA of chromium? [08:16] ardchoille: that will be chrome or chromium? [08:17] hi [08:17] ValentineX: this is it: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa it's the daily build of chromium-browser, which is the open source version of google chrome [08:17] Psinetic: On the site it says its installed onto the bios i dont see why it wouldnt work [08:18] brianherman, hmmm...i shall look [08:18] Psinetic: wait [08:18] ok [08:18] Psinetic: i looked on the site [08:18] ValentineX: your only other choice is to wait until google releases an update [08:18] APERSON, with sudo chwon username:username i got output error http://pastebin.org/66841 [08:18] Anybody help me to install enlightment Desktop-manager with MoonOS theme? [08:18] ardchoille: yes will wait official release [08:19] how do i do a cd to the desktop in a terminal? D= [08:19] klumpen: cd Desktop [08:19] klumpen: or cd ~/Desktop [08:19] petsounds: you nee4d to tell it what you are chowning. [08:19] klumpen: it is case-sensitive [08:19] ok [08:19] petsounds: you need to provide a file or folder name, otherwise chown doesn't know which file/folder to work on [08:19] hi there , i have to use headphon to listen to my mp3 but soudn comeup by speaker also how can fix that [08:19] Psinetic: http://www.lojackforlaptops.com/products/standard.asp forget what I said earlier [08:19] how do i configure vm manager to run an ios on a cd in ubuntu [08:19] ? [08:20] Psinetic: they say it works for desktops too [08:20] killme: what vm? virtualbox? it has settings when yiou create a new vm. [08:20] Dr_Willis, ardchoille can you give an example for chowning? [08:20] brianherman, let me take a look [08:20] petsounds: add a directory name after the command ya gave [08:20] petsounds: sudo chown user:user: /path/file [08:20] petsounds: or a wildcard [08:20] i got it from add [08:21] killme: clarify that statement. [08:21] petsounds: sudo chown user:user /path/file [08:21] k let me look k [08:21] how do I get to the GRUB screen when Choosing boot options if windows XP is the only currently install OS ? [08:21] Maybe I'm stupid and its not even possible [08:22] Is there a reason why some icons in the Notification area won't achieve a transparent background? [08:22] skylar_: if grub isint installed.. then you dont. or you boot somthing that has grub on it. like a cd/flash drive [08:22] skylar_: if you haven't installed ubuntu yet, you won't have grub yet [08:22] petsounds, you need it to have an * at the end [08:22] alright [08:23] ok this is what i got Virtual Machine Manager [08:23] It presents a summary view of running domains and their live performance & resource utilization statistics. A detailed view presents graphs showing performance & utilization over time. Ultimately it will allow creation of new domains, and configuration & adjustment of a domain's resource allocation & virtual hardware. Finally an embedded VNC client viewer presents a full graphical === sacho_ is now known as Sacho [08:23] is there a way to see the list of deleted files ? [08:24] I dont know how one of the important directory is missing from my /home. [08:24] U'm going flipping nuts [08:24] devD_: not unless you put them into the trash and haven't emptied the trash yet [08:24] killme: what exactly did youi install? virtuialbox? look in the about menus... [08:24] guys [08:24] I was hanging up decorations, and I thought of something. Is there a music and video suite for ubuntu I can dl?

[08:24] Dr_Willis, ardchoille APERSON and if i'm going to chowning documents, music, pictures, videos, download. what's the command line? i really lost here :( [08:25] ardchoille, its so strange . its missing. a good collection of words. I collected in several years. [08:25] petsounds: the same way. You just give the name of the files/dirs to chowbn. [08:25] virtuialbox [08:25] petsounds: are you hcowning multiple folders? [08:25] petsounds: or you can use wildcards suich as *.doc [08:25] bashca: i have that problem as well... no idea how to fix it. [08:25] ... [08:25] devD_: do you make regular backups of your $HOME? [08:25] bugzilla3 [08:25] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [08:26] oops [08:26] where can i find the source code for the gnome log file viewer [08:26] ....i get that error from installing bugzilla [08:26] ^^ [08:26] can anyone help? [08:26] ardchoille, no I don't. that is way today I am paying for that. [08:26] petsounds, sudo chown -r username:username * [08:26] slimjimflim: what command gives you that error? [08:26] pvl1: apt-get source pkgname [08:26] lstarnes: sudp apt-get install insight [08:26] Is there an audio and music suite available for ubuntu? Like, a bundle of programs? [08:26] shane2: waiting i guess some one will help us to fix it ;) [08:26] petsounds, I'm sorry -R [08:27] devD_: perhaps this is a lesson that backups are a good idea. There are several backup apps in the repos, you really should use one at least once per week [08:27] slimjimflim: can you pastebin the full error? [08:27] frogzoo1, where would i access it then [08:27] *COUGH* [08:27] brianherman, i'm confused on how this works. does this log everything you do, where you've been, your IM chats, videos you watch, images you open, and does it allow for someone i designate to read those logs? [08:27] is there a utility to recover deleted files [08:28] lstarnes: http://pastebin.ca/1721128 [08:28] hello, it's some days the kernel messages are like http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m10959af8. does anyone knows to what is it due? google unfortunately does not gives real answers. thanks for your attention. [08:28] !undelete | devD_ [08:28] devD_: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [08:28] devD_, first question, have you installed or updated, or upgraded since your deleted your file? [08:28] "ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible"? I beg to differ :P [08:28] *sigh..* [08:29] APERSON, ardchoille Dr_Willis thanks the folder are now unlocked. :) [08:29] lstarnes: i just installed bugzilla, tried to anyway [08:29] anyone familar with E667: Fsync failed in vim ? [08:29] Psinetic, yes I updated but I dont know if I deleted them. I never think to delete that. I have ext4 /home. [08:29] petsounds: time to learn about linux file permissions/ownership i think [08:29] Anyone gonna answer MY question? [08:29] slimjimflim: try sudo dpkg --configure -a [08:30] calebgamb: you have to be patient. If your question is an uncommon one or a difficult one, it will take longer to answer [08:30] calebgamb: never noticed your question.. [08:30] so much for patient [08:30] devD_, problem is when you update it overwrites files, and the more you install or update, the more it overwrites. once you delete something it simply renames the file. that's why you can still "undelete" it, by changing the file name back. but the system allows for those files to be written over [08:30] devD_, so it could have been corrupted already [08:30] lstarnes: what's that supposed to do? [08:30] petsounds: here is a tutorial for you; http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/08/linux-file-permissions.html [08:31] ya [08:31] slimjimflim: attempt to finish configuring any packages that haven't been properly configured [08:31] lstarnes: it takes me to the 'configuring bugzilla3' ncurses screen [08:31] Psinetic: ext3 delete is much more destructive than that!

[09:32] faileas: apt does not use Python. [09:32] Dr_Willis: well the only one that works here is freenode's own one ;p [09:32] ardchoille: orig is a file path from an m3u playlist [09:33] wgrant: hmm, i am corrected then.

[09:34] ardchoille: the current output is cp: missing destination file operand after `/home/ubuntu-david/yada.mp3' [09:34] snake: you don't REPLACE spaces with \, you just put \ BEFORE the spaces [09:34] * lazy247x need help changing my display?

[09:42] plague: ugly defaults.. but it will work [09:42] thnx [09:42] snake: what I'm trying to say is that you need to tell the script what to cat, example: cat file | grep hi [09:42] snake: you need to "cat" something before that output is piped to sed [09:43] faileas, source list entries for this disc are: deb cdrom:[some text ] [09:44] snake: What are you trying to do?

[10:20] Hi all. I've installed Kubuntu 9.10 on a laptop, and had to fix the wireless drivers manually. I've had some problems with the driver not working (possibly after updates), and suspect this is due to me doing stuff manually instead of compiling the sucker (it threw some errors at me, while the manual copy/paste/depmod/modprobe-solution worked.

[10:57] zeitlos: yes.. that's the root file system.. it uses ext4 as a file system [10:57] ok i have a question. Is there a way to blacklist certain package names or patterns of names. I'm sick of having to remove crappy firefox all the damn time [10:57] lama_: that's why I asked you to pastebin it, instead of pasting on the channel [10:57] soreau: ati 3600 [10:57] zeitlos: so you have a 255 byte limit on the filename.. that's not enough?

What is the output of glxinfo|grep renderer? [10:58] Typh: you can use the install cd as a repo, or conjfigure connectivity using /etc/network/interfaces [10:58] CyL: Err, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com [10:58] oh the file systems wars - will there ever be peace?

I'll give it a shot.

[10:59] it leaves the out-of-the-box application launchers intact, but all custom application launchers are gone after a reboot [11:00] nope writing to home folder, maybe too deep [11:00] slon_: So you have direct rendering working with the open driver. Your other option would be to use the proprietary fglrx driver but you would have to downgrade whatever packages xorg-edgers upgraded first [11:00] zeitlos: you get some kind of error? when you're doing a regular file copy? [11:00] ikonia:and....how to do that...sorry i am new to ubuntu and i am just a kid...:D...my personal oppinion is that i installed some lets just say bad programs...:D [11:00] dimitar: why do you think that ?

[11:02] i do [11:02] slon_: Well the open driver is in heavy development and will improve as time goes on [11:02] lama_: also. would you please pastebin the contentes of your /etc/resolv.conf file?

Will partial upgrade upgrade me to 9.10? [11:05] CyL : It is head provider router [11:05] terlop, check that you have this directory : ~/.gconf/apps/panel [11:05] lama_: do ou have access to it's configuration page? [11:06] lorensozu: To install the distribution update to 9.10 you have to click "Install" button near the "Distribution update available", otherwise it won't update to 9.10 [11:06] hey guys, i'm on ubuntu 9.10 64bit. I have dansguardian gui installed. is there any way i can setup to give a password requirement to access it's configuration tools that does NOT include the root password? [11:06] CyL : no, but wait ... [11:06] for example, give that FILE a password, and whatnot [11:06] CyL : another pc at home are ok, no problem with certificate [11:06] airtonix, confirmed, i do that directory [11:06] and make it where root has no control over it [11:07] !root | Psinetic [11:07] Psinetic: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [11:07] airtonix, i do have i ment [11:07] Psinetic: root has all privileges. [11:07] Psinetic: If you have sudo access, you can do anything. [11:07] terlop, now confirm : ~/.gconf/apps/panel/toplevel/ how many directories in this path ? [11:07] Guys, what is the fastest server to download ubuntu 9.10 karmic? [11:07] wgrant, well... :( not fair [11:07] (And girls) [11:07] lama_: also you can have a partial solution by substituting the ip adresses from you resolf.conf file with the following addresses: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 [11:07] Psinetic: It is the superuser.

[11:07] Ok [11:07] calebgamb: depends on location. There is no universal fastest [11:08] calebgamb: if there was we'd all use it, then it would be the slowest [11:08] For Australia I forgot to add ^^ [11:08] terlop, copy the toplevels folder to the desktop [11:08] dc++ aint able to write the files with long filenames :( [11:08] calebgamb: doesn't really matter lol.

[11:09] calebgamb: try au.security.ubuntu.com s it will be closer [11:09] zeitlos: that sounds like it's a dc++ problem.. I doubt it's something you can change by messing with the file systems [11:09] !players | kane [11:09] Like, a bundle [11:09] kane: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

[11:09] zeitlos: have you checked the dc++ site if it's a known bug perhaps? [11:09] lsdluna: Newer versions of X dont need a conf file. It is good enough at guessing what driver and options you need by default [11:09] where do i find those [11:09] Hello does anyone here know about networking? I have my Ubuntu machine on my network and On it I can view all windows machiens and their files however they can't see me or my files. I have just installed samba but don't know what to do next. I am looking for a step by step to help me. thank you [11:09] lsdluna: The file isn't used anymore as xorg is configured dynamically usind hal (udev) [11:09] "HOW DO U LIEK LISTEN TO MOSIC!!11!!" [11:09] CyL : I dont understand [11:09] airtonix, no [11:09] calebgamb: please don't use caps talk [11:09] calebgamb: you can use kino for video (just one example) and music you can use avidemux or lmms [11:09] CyL : replace adresses?

[11:10] calebgamb: look at ubuntu studio [11:10] terlop, waht are the names of the two folders in ~/.gconf/apps/panel/toplevels ? [11:10] lsdluna: It is likely you have ati or intel graphics unless you are using nvidia without their driver installed [11:11] calebgamb: there is a codec pack in the shape of: ubuntu-restricted-extras [11:11] soreau: ? [11:11] thx [11:11] How do I get ubuntu studio? [11:11] there's an complete distribution for multimedia, calebgamb : ubuntu studio [11:11] airtonix, bottom_panel_screen0 and top_panel_screen0 [11:11] How do I get it :/ [11:11] lama_: in your resolv.conf file there are two ip addresses (192.168.5.1 and 192.168.1.1), if you substititute those with the ones I gave you, you probably will have a partial solution to your problem, since the final solution would be have you router settep correctly up... [11:11] LewisDre4m: Read ubottus message [11:11] terlop, your issue is with the top panel or the bottom one ? [11:11] calebgamb: sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop [11:11] ! samba > LewisDre4m [11:11] LewisDre4m, please see my private message [11:11] zeitlos: or wait.. are you running dc++ in wine? [11:11] I have READ lots. I came here because I dont know what to do and need help [11:11] Can I add it on to my current 9.10 installation? [11:11] airtonix, i don't know [11:11] calebgamb: sure [11:11] calebgamb: Yes, just run the command ActionParsnip gave [11:12] Psinetic: Well, it is possible to give accounts more customized/limited permission (you can do X and Y with sudo but nothing else, or you can even make it so you can do A and B with sudo without a password). But as far as I'm aware, that'll all require a separate account, I don't believe there's any way to give different permissions based on password [11:12] airtonix, actually both [11:12] (This is chaos) ON TOPIC: Thanks theadmin [11:12] terlop, easy fix here is to create a a new set of panels and move your current items from the old panel to the new panels [11:12] theadmin: thanks. What exzactly does it mean then as partial upgrade? [11:12] lama_: *your router correctly set up... [11:12] Wow and they wonder why people don't use linux === mfreenet is now known as Mikee [11:12] terlop, long fix is to make sure the items in ~/.gconf/apps/panel/objects/ have their topleve_id set to the right panel id [11:12] CyL : What is it 208.67.222.222? === Mikee is now known as mfreenet [11:12] lorenzosu: That some packages can only be upgraded if you perform an update to the next distros, and thus will be kept at their current versions [11:12] LewisDre4m, they do ? [11:13] LewisDre4m: Its just complicated [11:13] Psinetic: So, you could give your user account partial/limited permissions, and then create an admin account that can do all the stuff, and then switch to it (either log in, or just use sudo to switch your shell over) for when you need unrestricted elevated permissions [11:13] LewisDre4m, by the way, who is "they" ? [11:13] lama_: it is an ip address of a public available and free dns you can use, since your router is giving you the wrong answers... [11:13] http://j1solutions.homelinux.org [11:13] And tedious to install things using sudo aptitude-get whatver-whatver [11:13] kj4: ? [11:13] airtonix, can you guide me how to do that? [11:14] I go to PLACES / NETWORK and I can see beautifuly my windows machiens on my network. I have a folder next to it called WORKGROUP which has my linux machine on it. I have installed samba. Can no one honestly help me on what to do next to get the windows machines to see my ubuntu machine? [11:14] terlop, easy or long ? [11:14] airtonix, long [11:14] CyL: can also add 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 google have a dns service now :D [11:14] Don't get me started of DPKG [11:14] terlop, open gconf-editor [11:14] lama_: It's an OpenDNS DNS Server (opendns.org for more information) [11:14] CyL : Hmm, When i bite restart router? [11:14] Draglor : Thanks [11:14] ActionParsnip: thanks for the tip... those are easier to emember ;P [11:14] airtonix, done [11:14] terlop, (you'll need to run that manually (it's not in the menus)) alt+f2 type gconf-editor [11:14] LewisDre4m: That link walks you through the steps you need to take. If after viewing those pages, you have questions (about those pages, or otherwise), please be sure to follow up with additional questions [11:14] flannel, so there's technically no way i could like install software or do "sudo apt-get update" to update my system without having the actual sudo password? i couldn't assign it another password? the whole point is for accountability purposes. you know, so u can't just bypass the system and look at porn and whatnot [11:14] I tried OGMrip and I get this message "Unknown error while copying the DVD on the hard drive" can anyone help?? [11:15] terlop, navigate to the same path ( /apps/panel/objects ) [11:15] I'm trying to start x from CLI, but when I type sudo startx I get an error: Fatal server error no valid fonth could be found I did installed ubuntu-desktop and xinit and openbox What's wrong? Why can't I just startx? [11:15] Psinetic: If you can install software, you can execute code as root. [11:15] I found the pages usless and I am looking for someone to talk me through how to do it. I have spent 12 hours reading on "how" to do it but I have not had any luck [11:15] lama_: you could try to restart the router... if you don't mind losing your default configuraions... [11:15] Psinetic: You can set it up so you can do that command without a password, but you can't give it a separate password. [11:15] airtonix, i'm there [11:16] CyL: thats why i gave it ;) [11:16] terlop, you should be looking at a list of folders named object_* [11:16] Psinetic: Obviously, if this is for other users, you can give them limited sudo permission (you can use sudo to do X and Y, with password, but not Z) [11:16] any in here plays urban terror on ubuntu, please /msg me...:D [11:16] wgrant, that's just retarded. so there's essentially no way at all to lock down your own system? no offense calling it retarded, but it just seems to me like there should be SOMETHING put in place so people can do that [11:16] CyL : dhcp [11:16] Kane: ask in the channel [11:16] Kane: please don't recruit for games === wet-chan is now known as wet [11:16] terlop, one of them might be named menu_bar_screen_* [11:16] Maybe not everyone has the time or is willing to help you through step by step LewisDre4m. [11:16] Kane: i used to play it, wassup [11:16] flannel, wgrant, so...let me see here.... [11:16] ikonia, i dont recruit, need help cause the game is lacking .. [11:16] any ideas? [11:16] Psinetic: You can lock down your system. But if you can install software that can install code that runs as root, you can by extension install code and run it as root. [11:17] Kane: then asking in channel is the right way to go [11:17] can i pm u actionparsnip... [11:17] I have gone into share on samba and added my home directory and despite I can see everysingle windows machine and file on their computer they can't see my ubuntu machine [11:17] oka sry [11:17] frogzoo: i think the biggest challenge if ekiga can interact with PBX provider in our company [11:17] airtonix, i have a key name object_0 in there which is the XChat application launcher [11:17] no one knows why or how to help with out giving me links that dont help? [11:17] Kane: no ask in the channel [11:17] airtonix, yes i have the menu_bar_screen0 as well [11:17] flannel, wrgrant, i could make an admin account with full perms, let someone else make it's pass and not give it to me, and then i can have my own account with lesser sudo abilities? could i have it where the admin account also locks access from me using dansguardia config settings? [11:17] its cause, when i open the game its lacking much, and i dont know why, its my first time using ubunte.. so im not the best to this os [11:18] terlop, ok now click it, and you should see some options on the right...one that you want to pay attention to is the toplevel_id [11:18] Kane: have you installed video drivers? [11:18] LewisDre4m: Try to log on your server using username@sambamachine ... or enable the "browseable" feature ... both should show you the shares on your ubuntu machine [11:18] Psinetic: You can have a completely locked down account, yes. [11:18] Kane: What is it lacking? [11:18] Kane: and you you mean "lagging" [11:18] Psinetic: Correct. You don't need to grant someone full reign of usage for sudo when you give it to them, you can specify a limited number of commands they can perform with sudo. [11:18] yes thanks [11:18] Psinetic: But having a locked down account with the ability to install arbitrary software is contradictorty. [11:18] how do i see my video drivers?? [11:18] Kane: Which graphics card do you have [11:18] terlop, check each of the entries under /apps/panel/objects and make sure they all match the two folder names you gave me earlier from /apps/panel/toplevels [11:19] LewisDre4m: not being a smb guru, i worked my way through it using: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 [11:19] wgrant, i'm just looking for parental controls essentially [11:19] Kane: can you use http://pastebin.com to give the output of: sudo lshw -C display [11:19] Psinetic: what wgrant is saying is that if you allow someone to install a package, they could theoretically create a package that gives them additional abilities. [11:19] hmmmm that makes sense [11:19] Flannel: s/theoretically/practically and simply/ [11:19] hello - i added the "shred" command to the nautilus-menu in 9.10 x64 from this link --> http://tiny.cc/x1QKT <-- but when i do command "nautilus -q" and "nautilus" it gives me an error. shows up fine upon right clicking files... but i'm concerned about error. [11:19] airtonix, aha... in menu_bar_screen0, the toplevel_id is top_panel_screen0 [11:19] oCean_: Thank you again for not helping. Ready my previous posts. Links are not helping me. [11:19] never used pastebin [11:19] lama_: what? [11:19] terlop, yes this is correct. [11:19] Draglor: When I go into networks I have two folders, one called worknet (my network) and one called worksgroup. When It is working wont my computer be added to the works net folder or not? [11:19] LewisDre4m: Did you read my suggestion? [11:20] terlop, you are looking for toplevel_id that are not top_panel_screen0 or bottom_panel_screen0 [11:20] Kane: well you run the command, go to the site, pste your text and clik paste. When the page changes, copy the new address in the address bar and paste it here [11:20] It's added to the group you adeed it (or the default) [11:20] * Psinetic *sigh*....i might be forced to go back to windows simply for accountability purposes. suckage. [11:20] Kane: Do you know what graphics card model you have? If not you can get to a terminal and see the output of lspci|grep VGA [11:20] bdg [11:20] terlop, you are not by chance using the livecd at the moment ? [11:20] dont know what video card og graphic cards i have [11:20] Psinetic: ... you need to be an administrator on Windows to install most software too. [11:21] hey, does /dev/sda1 = (hd0,0)? [11:21] If someone could help me I would appreciate it. I am trying to start a windows install disk to remove ubuntu and install windows but the computer is not reacting to the disk at all. [11:21] "workgroup = YOURNAME" parameter in smb.conf [11:21] I tried OGMrip and I get this message "Unknown error while copying the DVD on the hard drive" can anyone help? [11:21] llua: yes [11:21] airtonix, no [11:21] Also adjustable vie the GUI [11:21] airtonix, my ubuntu is installed on the hard drive [11:21] Bruns_, check your bios or aask in #windows [11:21] Kane: I dont expect you to, the command will tell us and the pastebin will allow you to give us the output wuithout flooding the channel [11:21] Kane: Ok, go to a terminal in Applications>Accessories>Terminal, then type lspci|grep VGA and show us what it outputs [11:21] Is there any way to install KDE in Ubu910Sys from KubuCD?? [11:21] wgrant, is there perhaps a way to make it where the admin account has to first "approve" the software being installed? [11:21] Draglor: can you not just walk me through wtf I am supposed to do after installing samba? [11:21] thanks airtonix [11:21] but just set your share to browseable and restart samba, this should do what you want [11:21] airtonix, Ubuntu 9.10 i386 Desktop [11:21] atjesse: you can add the CD as a repo [11:22] Hi folks, i have a problem connecting on m LAN via ssh, i can ping but not ssh, sshd is running on the target machine, can anyone help? [11:22] atjesse: The Kubuntu alternate CD, not the desktop CD (unless you just reinstall overtop of Ubuntu) [11:22] Draglor: the share I added in samba?> [11:22] walkthrough: enable a share and set it "browseable" [11:22] i tried but its not working [11:22] yes [11:22] Draglor: let me try [11:22] terlop, ok if you haven't found any foreign toplevel_id keys then your next course of action is to create entirely new panels. [11:22] I've only Desktop CD [11:22] Does anyone have any experience with installing Ultima 8 via dosbox? Doesn't want to work for me right now... [11:22] rhythmsoup: then it's either a firewall or xinetd or similar [11:22] Psinetic: At that point you might as well just not grant your account sufficient privileges to install software. [11:22] it says command not found [11:23] frogzoo: thanks, what is xinetd? [11:23] wgrant, well no, i don't think so. i'd still be able to install, but only if the admin account approves it first. so it could go in like a que or something until they approve it [11:23] !info xinetd [11:23] xinetd (source: xinetd): replacement for inetd with many enhancements. In component main, is extra. Version 1:2.3.14-7ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 147 kB, installed size 404 kB [11:23] I tried OGMrip and I get this message "Unknown error while copying the DVD on the hard drive" can anyone help? [11:23] Kane: Which command are you running? [11:23] Kane: copy and paste to the terminal, don't try and type it. I gave the exact command so you don't use a bad command [11:23] terlop, then unloack each of your panel items (by right clicking on them) and moving them to the new panels. [11:23] CyL : Nothing has changed [11:23] Kane: sudo lshw -C display [11:24] frogzoo: i have no firewall on the target machine of this machine, this machine is running crunchbang and the target ubuntu 9.10 [11:24] No way to install from DeskCD??? [11:24] Psinetic: It's surely much easier to... tell them. [11:24] Draglor: I click the green pluss button to add a share . . . I have then browsed to my "home" directory and clicked ok. I have two boxes . . visible and writeable . . . shall I just click visible? [11:24] atjesse: you can install other packages from the desk CD. You just can't upgrade to the next release [11:24] How to fix flash laggines? [11:24] LewisDre4m: yes [11:24] CyL : I clicked to log on to Facebook and made it redirect me to google when I endorse the certificate [11:24] wgrant, tell them and have them install it? [11:24] airtonix, every entry under object (so browser_launcher_screen0, menu_bar_screen0, object_0, object_1 and object_2 have the same toplevel_id which is top_panel_screen0 [11:24] rhythmsoup: check your ssh logs [11:24] Psinetic: Yes. [11:24] slon_: lagginess in what? [11:24] Psinetic: That serves exactly the same function. [11:25] airtonix, that should be okay right? [11:25] wgrant, alright. i can do that. need to setup my system first though and all that fun jazz [11:25] ActionParsnip: when I watch a movie like in youtube every 5-10 sec there it stopes for a very short time like a half-second [11:25] terlop, try making new panels and move your items to the new panels. logout and see if the problem persists [11:25] ActionParsnip: When i add only one package appears in resp. No base packages are there [11:25] Draglor: I click acesss and there is a tick box that says only allow access to specific users which had (my name and a box that says nobody) then there is a tick thing to say allow access to everyone. I will click EVERYONE. ok? I can't see broweable option. [11:25] airtonix, ok i will [11:25] airtonix, i have another issue with the panel [11:26] it says no such file or directory and then it says if there is any way to install KDE in ubu910sys from kubucd ? <<< thats what it says [11:26] CyL : I think it is not dns error because the other pc it works [11:26] LewisDre4m: yes (maybe it's visible, I use kubuntu and have different dialogs ) [11:26] airtonix, i lost my Applications entries [11:26] ok and now it should work? [11:26] slon_: can you use http://pastebin.com to give the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf [11:26] frogzoo: sorry for my inexperience, would the ssh logs usually be in /var/logs or elsewhere? [11:26] Kane: Also if you use the nick name of the person you are talking to, that person will get highlighted and we can see you better [11:26] does any have any experience with ripping DVDs?? [11:26] Draglor: I will go see if that "home" folder can be seen on windows machines [11:26] sry [11:26] it was completely gone... now i managed to restore the Accessories menu [11:26] terlop, applications menu is just a panel applet, so you should be able to get it again by right clicking on the panel and select "add to panel" [11:26] rhythmsoup: man sshd [11:27] Kane: So which command did you try to run? [11:27] Jaza: try acidrip [11:27] Hello! I'm logged in remotely to my home machine via SSH.. how can I get VNC to auto-accept the incoming connection? [11:27] soreau lspci|grep VGA [11:27] thanks [11:27] terlop, which menu applet are you using : Main Menu or Menu Bar ? [11:27] atjesse: don't PM me [11:27] Kane: Did you try the command ActionParsnip gave you? [11:27] Draglor: I have not added samba users , also when I go to preferences then samba server settings it says worksgroup: worksgroup is that all ok? [11:28] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/m739b73e [11:28] atjesse: what is "resp" [11:28] responsary [11:28] rhythmsoup: you might also try debug mode [11:28] u mean through pastebin soreau ? [11:28] airtonix, GNOME Panel Menubar [11:28] yes .. so your workgroup should be workgroup ... [11:28] frogzoo: on the target machine, or the client? [11:28] slon_: can you also pastebin the output of: lsb_release -a [11:28] Kane: No I mean sudo lshw -C display [11:28] would a simple infinte while loop in shell heat up the laptop ? [11:28] well the network is called worksnet. . . I don't need to change it? [11:29] if you want to enable your home folder it's even easier LewisDre4m .. just remove the ";" in the [homes] section in your smb.conf .. this should enable logons to thei homes for existing users [11:29] thevishy: depends what commands its running [11:29] terlop, try removing the menu from the panel, then adding it again from the 'add to panel' dialog window [11:29] ActionParsnip: Linux mint 8 x64 :) [11:29] slon_: linux mint isnt supported here [11:29] !mintsupport | slon_ [11:29] slon_: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [11:29] hello, suppose I am connected via wifi and lan at the same time, how can I change the default connection? or make lets say firefox use one connection and opera another? [11:29] ohh [11:29] LewisDre4m: And don't forget to reload/restart samba ;) [11:29] soreau its asking for a password ? [11:29] can you tell me what package do you use? [11:30] rhythmsoup: whatever's running sshd [11:30] airtonix, i did thast several times already but the entries are still gone in the new menubar [11:30] .. or in other words.. where's the VNC config file? I can't find it in either ~/.vnc or /etc/.. [11:30] Kane: You should use your users password [11:30] slon_: this is not mint support as you've just been told [11:30] notk0, this isn't possible without using advanced manipulation of squid or iptables [11:30] ActionParsnip, it just cats the temperarure in /proc/acpi/... [11:30] airtonix ok but how can I temporarily make the wifi connection be used by default? [11:30] soreau, it wount accept it.. it doesnt do anything [11:30] AmunRa: you can make a config file for vncserver if you want. or uise the command line options if you start up vncserver that way [11:31] Dont be so rude, I dont ask for help with mint. I'm interested what package of flash do you use [11:31] AmunRa: some of it may depend on exactly which vncserver you are using [11:31] slon_: it's not rude - it's rude to ask offtopic questions when you've been told not to [11:31] The default one [11:31] slon_ I am using the proprietary flash one from adobes site [11:31] Kane: It wont show you typing.. just type it in a press enter [11:31] thank you [11:31] how to do something if there is second argument to my bash script? [11:31] slon_: this channel is for ubuntu support only, not mint, or general questions [11:31] AmunRa: 'the default one' tells me very little. There is no default 'vncserver' theres the gnomd desktop shareing feature. [11:31] It's configured fine... I've entered in the past but there was always some one home to click "Accept" === theo is now known as theoo [11:31] ActionParsnip, ofcourse the i have used both proprietary and gnash [11:31] ikonia what package is a general question :) [11:32] pkkm: try ##bash but look at $1 and $2 [11:32] soreau, should i just copy it and then send it in here ? [11:32] AmunRa: you are confuseing how a 'vncserver' works with the 'shared desktop' feature of gnome [11:32] slon_: then it's offtopic as I've just told you [11:32] how do I add xmms to panel? [11:32] Kane: No [11:32] airtonix, is it possible to completely remove gnome-panel with all its settings and do a fresh install which will return the default menus and menuitems in the menubar? [11:32] AmunRa: you can set up gnomd shared desktop to always start/accept if you wanted tio. [11:32] soreu, where then ? [11:32] Kane: This is the part where you go to pastebin.com in your browser [11:32] I guess so.. it still uses the VNC protocol, though right? [11:32] soreau, and then copy it all ? [11:32] DCC SEN [11:32] soreau: and then send it here ? [11:32] Oh wrong convo xD [11:33] Kane: But the text in the pastebin then it will give you a link, and show us the link here [11:33] DCC SEND MESSAGE HI_HI_HI [11:33] Draglor: I couldn't see it in network places or anything just then but I forgot to shut it down and load it back up again [11:33] Kane: But=Put [11:33] let me see if I find something in .gnome2 [11:33] terlop, before you do that, i recommend creating new panels and only moving your shortcuts to the new panels, instead of moving the other existing panel widgets, create them freshly with the 'add to panel' window on the new panels [11:33] Draglor: let me try it again [11:33] notk0, http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/34939/screenshot_1_Fn8ZCX.png [11:33] soreau, shall i write my name ?? where it says ? [11:33] Kane: No, you dont need to [11:34] airtonix, making a new panel doesn't create the default layout... i don't know how i managed to loose my menubar in the first place [11:34] soreau, now what... [11:35] it remind : Your computer failed to suspend . Check the help file for common problems . what should i do [11:35] it says at the top *-display unclaimed, should that be there to ? [11:35] soreau [11:35] airtonix : what's the template I saw in that screenshot [11:35] Kane: Now you should have pressed send or post button and you should see it shows a link in the address bar [11:35] Kane: That is the link we want to see [11:36] soreau: http://pastebin.com/m16897682 <<<<< that link = [11:36] Kane: Yes perfect [11:36] oka... [11:37] Kane: So you have an nvidia geforce 5200 graphics card. Now what you want to do is go to Sys>Admin>Hardware Drivers and see if it shows your drivers there [11:38] power manager : sleep problem . [11:38] your comprter failed to suspend . [11:38] Check the help file for common problems . [11:38] !9.4 [11:38] what should i to fix it [11:38] Kane: If it shows them but they are not activated, you can use that utility to install them [11:38] soreau, should i activate them ? [11:38] Kane: Yes, [11:38] anyone know about this [11:39] Kane: It will download and install them and after it is successful it should prompt you to reboot your machine [11:39] soreau, there is also a graphic driver, that should be activated to right ? [11:39] Kane: There is more than one? [11:39] Kane: You want to activate the nvidia driver.. [11:39] hello! what UDP ports are for private use ?? What port numbers i can use ?? [11:40] there is a accelerated graphics driver version 96 soreau [11:40] ZXSpectrum48k: you can use what ever ports you want, look in /etc/services for already defined ports [11:40] Kane: That sounds right.. you want to activate the video graphics driver for nvidia [11:40] its the same driver soreau, the other its an older version [11:40] hmmh! Im sure there were reserved ports like 80 and so on !! === sacho_ is now known as Sacho [11:40] Kane: Install the newest version it offers [11:41] ZXSpectrum48k: http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers (also from /etc/services) [11:41] ZXSpectrum48k: look in /etc/services for ports that are already defined by applications [11:41] soreau, and then i can run the programme without lagging ??? [11:42] How can I have multiple IP's (through DHCP) using one NIC? Is this possible? I've tried the bridged-utils package without much luck though.. seems like each bridge needs it's own NIC.. or am I wrong here? [11:42] Kane: You can try it again and see what happens at least.. If it is any kind of 3D or opengl type game, it will likely significantly increase the speed [11:42] \nick spacefrog [11:42] ri1.8: Depends: rdoc1.8 (= 1.8.7.174-1ubuntu1) but 1.8.7.174-1 is to be installed <-- how can i fix this? [11:42] soreau, oka thx for the help [11:42] \nick spacefrog [11:42] Kane: No problem [11:42] trying to install ri on 9.10 [11:42] DCEmu_user62, use /nick, not \nick ;) [11:43] bonhoffer: ri ? [11:43] yes -- it is for ruby documentation [11:43] bonhoffer: where are you getting the package from ? [11:43] Hey everyone, I was thinking last night: if a few bits are wrong in an EncFS encrypted archive (due to, say, a hardware error) will the entire archive become unreadable? [11:43] universe repo -- i believe [11:44] how can I get sound to run through my headphones? [11:44] migi: no, envyption doesn't change with hardware failure [11:44] migi: it depends. come have checksums. if one part of the file is bad. You might just lose part of the archive [11:44] ikonia: how can i know where ri is coming from? [11:44] bonhoffer: do an apt-get update first to make sure your up to date with the repo list file, then try it, if not you'll need to log a bug as someones messed up the dependencies [11:44] migi: ive not used encfs enoguht to even know if it has that feature. Id hope it did [11:45] ikonia: still same problem after update [11:45] ri: Depends: ri1.8 but it is not going to be installed [11:45] bonhoffer: log the bug then, looks like someones messed up the dependencies on that package [11:46] hello [11:46] ikonia: where do i log? [11:46] bonhoffer: launchpad.net [11:46] hi all [11:46] ikonia/Dr_Willis, ok, so should I split my EncFS filesystem in multiple filesystems to make sure that an error in one will not affect the others? [11:46] hola a todos, alguien habla espa;ol [11:46] migi: I don't see any value in that [11:46] does anyone know where i can find pyrit/cuda-tools etc a apt-get source ? [11:46] bonhoffer: what release are you using? [11:46] ikonia, ok, thanks :) [11:47] migi: no idea. it pays to keep backups of inpornatant stuff of course. [11:47] oCean_: 9.10 [11:47] my ubuntu 9.10 no mount cd/ dvd... please help [11:47] i am trying to find the rt2870 nemesis drivers [11:47] but i can only find a link to some german site that no longer hosts them [11:47] bbl [11:47] Dr_Willis, well, the thing is that those backups should also be encrypted :) [11:47] oCean_: logging bug now -- but please let me know if i have other options [11:47] is it possible to revert the GNOME Menu Bar into its default state (to the one when you do a fresh install of ubuntu)? [11:47] anyone know where i could grab them? [11:47] the ubuntu's movie player ,totem , can't play avi . what should i do [11:47] migi: backups should be stores somewhere safe like on a usb hd in a vault. :) [11:47] !resetgnome | terlop [11:48] !resetpanel | terlop [11:48] terlop: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [11:48] bonhoffer: does apt-cache policy maybe list more than one installable package? [11:48] oCean_: i'll look [11:48] the ubuntu's movie player ,totem , can't play avi . what should i do . help me [11:48] how do i get sound through headfones? [11:49] mine: it proberly cant handle the codec the avi is using. Install the w32codecs from medibuntu, and perhaps some other packages. and also you may want to try mplayer, and vlc. [11:49] mine: i cant stand the totem movie player [11:49] oCean_: http://pastie.org/750594 [11:49] Dr_Willis, ah, well they're not worth that. It's just my (not so legal) music / videos that I want to encrypt in case they raid my house, those are not worth a vault :) [11:49] how to remove it [11:49] bonhoffer: i mean "apt-cache policy rdoc1.8" [11:50] Dr_Willis : how to remove it [11:50] mine: remove? i never said remove.. install/try vlc and mplayer. and install the w32codecs pack from medibuntu. [11:50] bonhoffer: the 1.8.7.174-1ubuntu1 seems to be in karmic-updates [11:50] !medibuntu | mine [11:50] mine: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [11:50] !w32 [11:50] http://pastie.org/750596 <--oCean -- my problem [11:51] oCean_: http://pastie.org/750597 [11:51] bonhoffer: try "apt-get install rdoc1.8=1.8.7.174-1ubuntu1" [11:51] oCean_: got it [11:51] does it still need to install medibuntu ?if i install mplayer , [11:51] bonhoffer: that'll force the instal of the -1ubuntu1 version available in updates [11:51] mine: medibuntu is a reposuitory that holds the w32codec pack. read the url given above [11:52] ok [11:52] E: Version '1.8.7.174-1ubuntu1' for 'rdoc1.8' was not found [11:52] mine: mplayer makes use of the codec package [11:52] oCean_: what is the -lubuntul version? [11:52] you mean i must install it to play avi ? [11:52] bonhoffer: do "apt-cache policy rdoc1.8" [11:53] mine: an avi file could be using any of several DOZEN codecs for its video. [11:53] mine: if the codec is not installed.. the avi wont play properly [11:53] Hi, if I have an bootable *.iso, how to copy it onto an USB-Stick to make it bootable? is it sufficient to use dd? [11:53] mine: it could also use any of several dozen codecs for the audio.. [11:53] http://pastie.org/750600 <-- oCean_ [11:53] Subby: no it is not. [11:54] Subby: use 'unetbootin' for most linux distros. [11:54] mine get the medibuntu codec package? [11:54] Dr_Willis: okay thanks, i will try that [11:54] Subby: what OS is the iso? [11:54] Dr_Willis: ubuntu netbook [11:54] mine, you shold try the flac codec, its a fa superior codec! [11:54] is that mean player depends on codec [11:54] bonhoffer: see my output: http://pastie.org/750602 [11:54] Subby: then use unetbootin, or the usb-disk-creator tool in the ubuntu menus. [11:54] !cuda [11:54] mine: the players use teh codecs. well vlc might not use them all.. but mplayer can/will [11:55] bonhoffer: it's also in packages.ubuntu.com when search "karmic-updates", meaning that probably someone already found out about the dependency but [11:55] is there any deb's to install the cuda-toolkit ? [11:55] bonhoffer: adding karmic updates repository should list the availability of the correct version [11:55] so how to install them [11:55] oCean_: interesting so why is your version table different? [11:55] Dr_Willis: is there any reading, so I can understand what unetbootin does to get the usb-stick bootable? [11:55] oCean_: i think i have updates added [11:56] bonhoffer: yeah, i think that's the default [11:56] Dr_Willis: so ,how to install them . should I down them by myself [11:56] http://pastie.org/750604 <-- oCean_ [11:56] my sources list [11:57] so should i add nl? [11:57] looks like you have it? [11:57] Hi, question from beginner : ubuntu (with KDE) was working well - set up along with windows XP. I still can select the operating system but when I select ubuntu, I get the screen with sh:grub> [11:57] bonhoffer: well, the nl are the dutch repos. I do not understand why they are not in the us repo? [11:58] so should i add the dutch -- just to get ri working? [11:58] hyperstream: Why not just use the .run installer nvidia offers? [11:59] bonhoffer: not 100% sure. I would think you could install the "1ubuntu1" version, to meet your dependencies. But I also think if it is in the repos, it should be available through packages.ubuntu.com. [11:59] oCean_: exactly, it looks like someone has messed up the package dependencies [12:00] oCean_: i doesn't look like the 1ubuntu1 version worked -- what is that? [12:00] ikonia: i'll push with the bug report [12:00] how do i change my keyboard layout (eg from uk to us) without logging out and back in? [12:00] ikonia: my summary is : can't install ri on ubuntu 9.10 [12:00] ikonia: is there a better summary (i want to be sure to describe this correctly) [12:00] how add gnome-alsamixer to system tray ??? [12:01] gelis, panel applet [12:01] ikonia: my apt-cache policy (from nl mirrors) show the correct version available in karmic updates [12:01] gelis: I have set caps lock to switch between layouts [12:01] gelis: Did you look in gnome-keyboard-properties? [12:01] hey guys how do i install virtual machine ? [12:01] like vmware? [12:01] bashca, you can't. [12:01] MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL AND HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[12:06] Hi everyone. Will I need update-apt-xapian-index for proper working of the package management on karmic? [12:06] airtonix: i will check it thanks again [12:08] jas72z, thanks i just found it [12:08] :) [12:08] can i get a command to install the 'ume-launcher' [12:08] bonhoffer: final thought: you can download the "updates" version from: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic-updates/all/rdoc1.8/download [12:09] ok, oCean_ how might i do that -- sorry [12:09] hello [12:09] apt-get and specify the location -- or change in sources.list [12:09] suigeneris: hi [12:10] bonhoffer: download the .deb by clicking on a link, and install dpkg -i package.deb [12:10] I've got a share CSI:NY but it looks like C41G35~H on the windows side. why? [12:10] because of the : ? [12:10] oCean_: thanks [12:10] Hi I am trying to copy a file from a remote computer wit rsync but it has a quotation mark in it and rsync sees this as a command instead of a file name. any way how I can solve this? [12:10] suigeneris: i wouldent be useing fancy chars in share names. [12:10] suigeneris: avoide spaces also. [12:11] joris_: perhaps escape the whole filename with single quotes [12:11] suigeneris: that c41### almost looks like a UUID #. [12:11] thanks Dr_Willis but that doesn't seem to work [12:12] oCean_: from that link shoudl i rename download to rdoc1.8.deb [12:12] joris_: you could try to escape the quote also. [12:12] I useing mc760 usb modem and i got it to work but it surf really slow on ubuntu 9.10 why that? [12:12] * Dr_Willis hates it when file names use stuff like "toms's videos" === Mud is now known as Guest70535 [12:12] that means it's because of the : [12:13] Yeah but is there not an option that tells rsync this is not a command but a file name [12:13] bonhoffer: I don't think so, it is called rdoc1.8_1.8.7.174-1ubuntu1, that being the missing depency for your previous installs. [12:13] ? [12:13] oCean_: got it [12:13] anyone got a idea why does that? [12:13] I think MacOSX has something like " & quoted form of " [12:13] Smething similar for linux? [12:14] ? [12:14] Not that I really know Max Os X [12:14] btw [12:14] Dr_Willis: you don't think \ should be part of the filename? [12:15] you can escape the ' with a \ i belive [12:17] Well I am going to try [12:17] suigeneris: i have had all kinds of issues when accessing files on an NTFS partition (using a windows copmuter) if files were saved in linux with ":" or "|" characters in them. unfortunately opera and firefox save pages according to the tag, which often contains these characters. [12:20] <oCean_> bonhoffer: i have some connection issues to sort out... I'm not sure whether your install will succeed if you *have* to force the install of the .deb. There still might be some issues with various dependencies [12:20] <bonhoffer> oCean_: thanks for the heads up [12:21] <filthpig> Hi all. I've installed Kubuntu 9.10 on a laptop, and had to fix the wireless drivers manually.

[13:06] <ssv1994> I don't know [13:06] <frojnd> call me newbie or anytinhg but I can't any wiki, how to install X on a ubuntu-server? why from server becouse it's minimal... so how can I install X from server? I'll install openbox for DE but how can I install all the requirements before? [13:06] <MindUser26042> how do u think the speed fast of eeepc [13:06] <Dr_Willis> mine: check out the installed packages.. remove what you dont want. [13:06] <defu> hi, everyone [13:06] <Slart> ssv1994: illegal? no.. at worst you'll be breaking some license.. that's not the same as illegal [13:06] <apocalypt> Dr_Willis: he want to use google maps etc. but he wont to install restricted-extras because it's illegal [13:06] <Michalxo> mine, I think they all are in gnome-games package [13:06] <kontriband> kostkon, no [13:06] <Dr_Willis> MindUser26042: my Netbook is rather handy. [13:07] <Michalxo> mine, take a look into aptitude show gnome-games [13:07] <kostkon> kontriband, hmm. it just says no cards found? [13:07] <kontriband> kostkon, thats exactly what it says [13:07] <Dr_Willis> Its debateable if restruicted-extras is illeagle or not.. Unlicensed.. perhaps.. not under the gpl yes.. [13:07] <ssv1994> I mean is it against the license? [13:07] <mine> but i think the packages' name is different from the games' name . Dr_Willis [13:07] <Michalxo> ssv1994, no [13:07] <l3ns> what command to use to check what programs are using/accessing the ram?.. [13:07] <ssv1994> thanks heaven [13:07] <Dr_Willis> 'legal' has different meanings. :) [13:07] <kostkon> kontriband, ok, give this: lspci | grep Audio [13:08] <kostkon> kontriband, use a pastebin to paste it, e.g. paste.ubuntu.com [13:08] <mine> Michalxo :when remove --gnome-games .it didn't work [13:08] <Michalxo> ssv1994, google for googleearth license to be sure :-D [13:08] <Snille> Anyone here using smartmontools and a Highpoint RocketRaid 2340 controller? [13:08] <apocalypt> yeah i don't know anything but i've never heard of someone were arrested becaus he installed restricted-extras [13:08] <frojnd> anyone? [13:08] <Michalxo> mine, it has to... sudo aptitude remove gnome-games [13:08] <Slart> frojnd: yes? I think I qualify as anyone [13:08] <mine> i know it [13:09] <surF> hi I have a problem with my Ubuntu installation. The x server does not start. I tried to run a dpkg-reconfigure but still does not work. If I look at the log it says EE: Display: No device found. [13:09] <anto9us> l3ns, top and gnome-system-monitor will show percentage of memory applications are using [13:09] <Michalxo> mine, so, if you know it, then you should not have games in menu [13:09] <mine> let me try again [13:09] <frojnd> Slart: do you know what packages do I need or how can I install prerequirements for using openbox from server? [13:09] <ssv1994> how to install xubuntu on a smartphone? [13:10] <babamelone> Hi, how do I permanently enable X to be accessible via network under ubuntu 9.10 === surF is now known as mamuz [13:10] <mastro> a friend of mine installed ubuntu after a fresh installation of windows xp, installation went fine but every times he boot windows (xp sp3) choosing it from grub menù at the next reboot grub is gone and he has to recover it by live-cd. If i keep using only ubuntu grub stay there like it should [13:10] <Slart> l3ns: have a look at free/vmstat/htop/top .. I'm not sure which of those you can convince to show you detailed info about memory usage.. but they all have some info [13:10] <mastro> is anyone experience a problem like this or have any idea of what's going on? [13:10] <apocalypt> babamelone: u want to access the X enviroment of an remote pc? [13:11] <Slart> frojnd: oh.. I have no idea.. if you just wanted attention to your question you should have just asked it again.. just wait 15 minutes or so before repeating [13:11] <l3ns> anto9us, yep but i can't see the apache running on the system monitor... [13:11] <mine> Michalxo: it didnt work [13:11] <iceroot> is there a way to check a COMPLETE ssd for errors? [13:11] <Michalxo> mine, show me the output [13:11] <l3ns> Slart, okay thanks I will look onto those :) [13:11] <babamelone> no I want ubuntu's X to be accessible by other pc's [13:11] <Dr_Willis> iceroot: you can check filesystem/devices with the badblocks command [13:11] <Dr_Willis> babamelone: depends on how you mean to access 'X' [13:11] <anto9us> l3ns, you can show system processes and processes from all users [13:11] <Slart> iceroot: badblocks perhaps.. [13:11] <apocalypt> babamelone: try nxserver [13:11] <jetlinux> I want schema file for ldap server that schema is about faculty,staff,administration,academy of an institute ,I really want this help help ,I just want pointer(hint) I don't want to make him/her tired [13:11] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: yes but a ssd is different to a normal hdd [13:12] <mine> Processing triggers for libc-bin ... [13:12] <mine> ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [13:12] <mine> linux@linux-desktop:~$ sudo aptitude remove gnome-games [13:12] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: its controlling where to write and disabling bad blocks [13:12] <mine> Reading package lists...

[13:12] <babamelone> gajim should be able to use ubuntu-pc's X server, although it is a program of another computer:$DISPLAY=ubuntu-pc gajim [13:12] <anto9us> mastro, some windows application is rewriting the boot block, find it and remove it [13:13] <Dr_Willis> babamelone: if you want to run an app on pc#1 and have it appear on pc #2. you would need to use the proper xhost + command on pc #2 to all ow remote apps access.. then export the proper DISPLAY on pc #1 befor you run the app [13:13] <babamelone> I know [13:13] <babamelone> but before port 6000 has to be opened [13:13] <Dr_Willis> babamelone: thats backwards from how its normally done. If you were on Pc #2, you could ssh -X pc#1 and then ruin the app [13:13] <babamelone> and under ubuntu it isnt [13:14] <Dr_Willis> It would be 'best' to use ssh to do it all. [13:14] <babamelone> no it wouldnt [13:14] <Dr_Willis> yes it would. port 6000 is closed for a reason i imagine.. 'security' [13:14] <babamelone> I wrote an application to control my ubuntu pc via X with my cell phone [13:15] <jetlinux> you may not have seen it I want schema file for ldap server that schema is about faculty,staff,administration,academy of an institute ,I really want this help help ,I just want pointer(hint) I don't want to make him/her tired [13:15] <Mark76> Some of my gtk icons seem to be broken [13:15] <babamelone> and therefor I cannot use ssh [13:15] <babamelone> so I want port 6000 to be opened [13:15] <babamelone> security is given by xhost [13:15] <airtonix> babamelone, try out ufw, [13:15] <airtonix> !info ufw babamelone [13:15] <ubottu> 'babamelone' is not a valid distribution: hardy, hardy-backports, intrepid, intrepid-backports, jaunty, jaunty-backports, karmic, karmic-backports, karmic-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, medibuntu, partner [13:15] <Dr_Willis> The go open it.

[13:16] <Dr_Willis> you want to pass '-nolisten tcp' option, [13:16] <babamelone> it is not a firewall matter [13:16] <perlsyntax> hello! [13:16] <Dr_Willis> or remove the -nolisten option. [13:17] <babamelone> where do I find this option [13:17] <babamelone> where can I disable it [13:17] <Dr_Willis> somewhere in the x configs,xinit i imagine [13:17] <mastro> anto9us, since that's a fresh installation of windowx xp sp3 i dubt it... but that's the only explanation i could think about myself [13:17] <jetlinux> ok sorry for the question [13:18] <ssv1994> does someone have a problem, that photos don't work on google maps? [13:18] <babamelone> I have already removed it in the /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file [13:18] <Dr_Willis> babamelone: i have also seen (on google) mention of gdm configs that may have it set also [13:18] <babamelone> but my change didnt last till the next reboot [13:19] <Dr_Willis> gdm.conf-custom. Under the security section change DisallowTCP to false.

[13:37] <Svish> I just can't figure this out... how can I tar a directory but exclude one of its sub-directories? [13:37] <Slart> egyn: you could do a script that tries to ping a couple of addresses.. and if enough of those fail it reboots [13:37] <kornelia> hey guys [13:37] <d35iboy> I know how to ssh using ssh@user ip...but I need to know how to tunnel to socks5 proxy [13:37] <kornelia> I need help with my acer aspire 5100 [13:37] <kornelia> my mic doesnt work [13:37] <lama_> Also you have a problem with certificates on ubuntu? [13:37] <ikonia> d35iboy: that's an application you need - socks5 needs a server [13:37] <coz_> Svish, remove the sub directory before you compress it ? [13:37] <soreau> Bear10_: Are you using desktop effects at all? What does "ps ax|grep compiz|grep -v grep" say? [13:37] <ikonia> d35iboy: you can still tunnel it though, assuming you have a socks5 server [13:37] <egyn> ikonia/svish: maybe a cron job? I'll check some sites [13:37] <d35iboy> ikonia..I have installed openssh at the server [13:37] <Slart> egyn: I do something similar on my server.. but instead of a reboot it pipes some stuff to espeak.. so the server in the closet starts saying things like "Connection to network down, bla bla bla" [13:37] <ikonia> egyn: thats it, check every $X minutes [13:38] <ikonia> d35iboy: openssh is not a socks5 server, it's just what you use for the tunneling [13:38] <egyn> Slart: : what is espeak? [13:38] <kornelia> I need help with my acer aspire 5100 (my mic doesnt work) [13:38] <Svish> coz_: that would remove the directory :p I am trying to do a full backup of my webroot, but one of the directories contains a bunch of big video files that I already have somewhere else [13:38] <egyn> ikonia: Ok, i'll see what I can learn [13:38] <Slart> egyn: text to sound converter.. robot voice [13:38] <Bear10_> soreau, doesnt output anything [13:38] <oCean_> Svish: tar handles --exclude=<pattern> [13:38] <d35iboy> ok..is there any client to tunnel so that I can use it as socks5 in firefox [13:38] <Slart> !info espeak [13:38] <ubottu> espeak (source: espeak): A multi-lingual software speech synthesizer.

Version 1.41.01-0ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 68 kB, installed size 244 kB [13:38] <ikonia> d35iboy: you need a socks5 proxy server - then you tunnel it with the ssh client like any other app [13:38] <coz_> Swish, cant you delte the videos ? since they are already backed up somewhere else? [13:38] <egyn> Slart: will do me no good if i am on the other side of the world trying to access the server :) [13:39] <soreau> Bear10_: Well not sure then.. If you create a different user and login with it, does it still happen? [13:39] <oCean_> Svish: so, if you want to tar your homedir, but not the subdir Music, you can "tar cvf archive.tar /home/svish/ --exclude=Music" [13:39] <d35iboy> ok..thanks ikonia :) [13:39] <Svish> coz_: no, cause that would delete them from the website and I would have to upload them again [13:39] <Slart> egyn: well.. you can of course replace the espeak stuff with a reboot command..

[13:43] <lazydragoon> someone can help me with my ttf-mscorefonts-installer error code 1 [13:43] <Slart> ghostlines: I think the extended partition is supposed to contain other partitions [13:43] * MindUser26042 slaps Tiders around a bit with a large trout [13:44] <Tiders> MindUser26042, Huh? xD [13:44] <soreau> mammuz: Is the nvidia gpu built into the mobo? [13:44] <d35iboy> ikonia : yes I kept private keys..and I rember the email and a password that I had given [13:44] <oCean_> lama_: yeah, i don't know. Just make sure you have the exact same network settings on both machines. [13:44] <Slart> ghostlines: it's been a while since I used one so I don't know what it looks like in fdisk though [13:44] <mammuz> soreau, it's a note. I think the Intel is integrated in the mobo while the nvidia is not built in [13:44] <ikonia> d35iboy: then re-setup the private keys [13:44] <kornelia> realtek alc883 input problem (acer aspire 5100) allready tried gnome-alsamixer, alsamixer etc. [13:44] <mammuz> soreau, I'm guessing it. If you want I can show you my lshw [13:44] <d35iboy> oh...okay :D lol ..I am so stupid :| thanks :D [13:45] <kornelia> realtek alc883 input problem (acer aspire 5100) allready tried gnome-alsamixer, alsamixer etc. anyone knows a solution ? it's really urgent [13:45] <lama_> oCean_ : They are same. I am desperate... [13:45] <soreau> mammuz: I dont know what a note is, but if the nvidia one is not built in, simply plugin the monitor to the intel output and dont install the nvidia driver. Some mobos may disable on board gpu if an external card is plugged into the machine though [13:45] <Atlas_> can samone help me i have problem im trying to install ubuntu but i have hmm samthing like livecd and i want to instal it from tftpd can i make it with this or i need to download other cd ?? [13:46] <lama_> oCean_ : I dont know why it doesnt work. [13:46] <Bear10_> soreau, i think its the user [13:46] <coz_> mammuz, for sure you have to check the bios to be sure the video is set to onboard just in case [13:46] <oCean_> lama_: me neither, when you go to facebook, you get certificate pop-up? [13:46] <Slart> ghostlines: you might want to try testdisk or something like that.. see if it can find the partition for you [13:46] <coz_> mammuz, and uninstall any nvidia driver you have if you intend to use the intel onboard [13:47] <mammuz> coz_, sry it's an ASUS UL50 VG notebook. [13:47] <d35iboy> ikonia : it worked xD ..now able to open the folder ;) thank you soo much ! [13:47] <coz_> mammuz, lspci | grep -i vga [13:47] <Slart> ghostlines: make sure you read the howtos and documentation about fdisk before you start.. you can mess things up further if you're not careful [13:47] <kornelia> realtek alc883 input problem (acer aspire 5100) allready tried gnome-alsamixer, alsamixer etc. anyone knows a solution ? it's really urgent ! [13:47] <ikonia> d35iboy: no problem [13:47] <Bear10_> soreau, the sudo functions run faster and synaptic package manager opens, however fire fox still takes ages [13:48] <coz_> Bear10_, firefox is slow in starting up in karmic well ubuntu in general [13:48] <coz_> Bear10_, not sure what "takes ages" is in seconds thought :) [13:48] <mammuz> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) [13:48] <mammuz> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0a74 (rev a2) [13:48] <soreau> Bear10_: Sounds like your system might be b0rken.. is it a clean install or upgrade? [13:48] <lama_> oCean_: In page.. and when i receive certificate and log in again so redirect me to google.com [13:48] <Bear10_> soreau, im still on 9.0.4 havent upgraded [13:48] <coz_> mammuz, ok so the laptop card integrated is an nvidia card [13:49] <data0faust> Bear10_: how many addons do you have installed in firefox? [13:49] <Bear10_> 0 [13:49] <oCean_> lama_: so, when you get certificate pop up, what do you click? "accept" ? === Pseudo1 is now known as Pseudogod [13:49] <lama_> oCean_ : Yes and accept exception === roma__ is now known as Besogon [13:50] <c_c-used> 有中国人么?.. [13:50] <soreau> mammuz: If the nvidia gpu is built in, you may need to disable it in your bios [13:50] <mammuz> coz_, damnit... so what? I should disable the intel one? [13:50] <kornelia> realtek alc883 input problem (acer aspire 5100) allready tried gnome-alsamixer, alsamixer etc. anyone knows a solution ? it's really urgent ! [13:50] <oCean_> lama_: and then it redirects to google? That's weird [13:50] <mammuz> soreau, the problem is that I can't see any option to do that in the bios [13:51] <coz_> mammuz, this is a laptop...and that somewhat surprises me that you have 2 video cards but if nvidia is the onboard card then yes disable intel video [13:51] <oCean_> !cn | c_c-used [13:51] <ubottu> c_c-used: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [13:51] <Pseudogod> 我中国人 [13:51] <c_c-used> 我只是问问...呵呵.

[13:52] <soreau> mammuz: So what is the problem you are having then? [13:52] <coz_> mammuz, ok I didnt see any intel show up on the lspci command is it showing up in lshw? [13:52] <lsdluna> how can I type traditional-chinese using the ChangJie method? [13:52] <lama_> oCean_ : Yeah, i click on accept and I click on "Send again" (username, password) and after redirect me [13:52] <c_c-used> too many people here... [13:52] <soreau> mammuz: Are you not getting acceleration or what? [13:53] <mammuz> the problem is that I installed ubuntu yesterday [13:53] <d35iboy> can I use LILO on ubuntu instead of grub ? [13:53] <mammuz> then today when I started the pc nothing happens after the ubuntu white logo disappear [13:53] <coz_> mammuz, I would restart the system and go into the bios to see what you actually have for video options [13:53] <zeitlos> what is a recommend file system for long time file storage [13:53] <Atlas_> anyone know that i can use livecd to instal it via tftpd network ?? [13:53] <mammuz> coz_, I searched before but no results :( [13:53] <soreau> mammuz: Did it work with the live cd ok? [13:53] <coz_> mammuz, mmm [13:53] <mammuz> yep [13:54] <coz_> mammuz, are you sure you have intel on the system? [13:54] <oCean_> lama_: maybe file a report at facebook? It's at their login that you get redirected [13:54] <mammuz> now I simply deleted the xorg.conf and the x server works [13:54] <i_is_broke> d35iboy, it would be a hack, but yeah i think you can, but why? [13:54] <soreau> mammuz: So it is a laptop? Can you plugin an external monitor to see if it outputs anything? [13:54] <mammuz> yes, in windows I can change the 2 (intel and nvidia) [13:55] <coz_> mammuz, I have seen set ups with both cards available [13:55] <soreau> mammuz: You dont need an xorg.conf file if you use the intel card but you want to make sure the nvidia driver is not installed [13:55] <mammuz> if you want I can plug in an external monitor [13:55] <lama_> oCean_ : I dont understand. [13:55] <mammuz> ok [13:55] <mammuz> that's what I want [13:56] <coz_> mammuz, :) nvidia driver with intel card will make desktop a bit "topsy turvey" [13:56] <soreau> mammuz: But if it does not load past the white ubuntu logo, I would plugin another monitor and see if it outputs anything at all [13:56] <mammuz> soreau, the nvidia driver is not installed. (that's what the driver manager says) [13:56] <soreau> mammuz: So X is working now? I guess it is all working? [13:56] <coz_> mammuz, what is the exact model number of this sytem? [13:56] <mammuz> well there are strange lines on the monitor after that logo... [13:57] <mammuz> ASUS UL50 VG [13:57] <lama_> oCean_ : I tried opera, chrome... but doesnt work too. [13:57] <bullgard> I am missing my indicator-applet-session since I clicked on its context menus somehow. I logged out and logged in.

[13:57] <oCean_> lama_: well, you are asking here for support, but you should ask for support at facebook. You can add the certificate, and you get at the login dialogue, but *then* you get redirected [13:57] <mammuz> soreau, extension glx is missing [13:57] <bullgard> I am missing my indicator-applet-session since I clicked on its context menus somehow.

How to re-install indicator-applet-session? [13:58] <oCean_> lama_: log a bug/report/helpcall whatever with the facebook people [13:58] <mammuz> soreau, because now to let x start I deleted the xorg file [13:58] <soreau> mammuz: Like I said, you dont need a conf file [13:58] <lama_> oCean_ : Yeah, I bite it. Thanks for help. [13:58] <mammuz> soreau, yeah I got it so ... no render on ubuntu. [13:58] <kermit> i'm using linux-headers-2.6.32-020632rc7-generic, why is update manager trying to downgrade me to 2.6.31 ? [13:59] <Atlas_> can samone help me with network instalation of ubuntu ? [13:59] <FastPutty> hello, since yesterday [13:59] <FastPutty> i have a proc klogd running 100% of my cpu [13:59] <egyn> Slart/ikonia: ok, ive seen something "ping -c 4 -w 4 www.dn.se || shutdown -r now" how do I interpret the double "||"? How does cron know failure of the ping command? [13:59] <FastPutty> i wonder what exactly it does and should i kill it? [13:59] <soreau> mammuz: What I dont understand is why you had a conf file to begin with [13:59] <soreau> mammuz: When you installed it shouldnt have had one [13:59] <mammuz> soreau, dunno. I installed yesterday and then booted today and boom [14:00] <mammuz> I want to try to reboot now [14:00] <ikonia> soreau: try #bash [14:00] <soreau> mammuz: Well can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log file? [14:00] <soreau> ikonia: huh? [14:00] <ikonia> soreau: meant egyn [14:00] <soreau> ikonia: oh [14:00] <bullgard> Atlas_: Your request is too general to be considered. Put a more specific question here, please, so that people are not afraid to help you a bit. [14:00] <ikonia> sorry [14:01] <Atlas_> yea but i dont know haw to put it ;) [14:01] <tobiasz> hi [14:01] <d35iboy> ho tobiasz [14:01] <d35iboy> disconnect [14:01] <tobiasz> how do I make second linux distro appear on grub list? it doesn't show up in there [14:01] <Atlas_> i have a livecd version and i want to install it via tftpd can i do this or i need other version ?? of cd ? [14:01] <tobiasz> just installed fedora 12 [14:02] <PrototypeX29A> hi [14:02] <rob_p> FastPutty: It's the kernel log daemon. It shouldn't be consuming much CPU time. [14:02] <soreau> tobiasz: Depends on which version of grub you use, but basically you have to add it to your grub config [14:02] <tobiasz> how do I do this soreau [14:02] <ikonia> tobiasz: dual booting ditros's is easier to manage with a shared /boot partition, I'd strongly advice putting /boot on an ext3 partition and using grub1 from fedora [14:02] <tobiasz> I've got grub version that came with Ubuntu 9.10 [14:02] <PrototypeX29A> i tried to compile the current mainline kernel with ubuntu settings via make oldconfig, but it didn't work out to well: http://pastebin.com/m5d287491 [14:02] <soreau> tobiasz: How you do it depends on which version of grub youare using [14:02] <ikonia> PrototypeX29A: ubuntu uses patches, [14:03] <ikonia> tobiasz: maintaining multiple distros will cause you pain going forward [14:03] <chuyzoz> Hello All... yesterday i installed ubuntu 9.10 on an old vaio computer i had at home... the installation went fine.. i downloaded nvidia drivers and everything... [14:03] <mammuz> soreau, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d19a2c005 [14:03] <PrototypeX29A> ikonia: so it won't compile without these patches? [14:03] <cuser> hi again how install a scanner? [14:03] <mammuz> soreau, going to restart now. c y soon [14:03] <chuyzoz> i did updated my sources and ran sudo aptitude upgrade [14:03] <ikonia> PrototypeX29A: depends on the settings [14:03] <kenpark> @tobiasz Best is you try to install the package os-prober [14:03] <raees> hi everyone, first time using irc [14:03] <tobiasz> ikonia how can I add fedora 12 to existing grub list in my ubuntu grub [14:03] <tobiasz> oh [14:03] <ikonia> chuyzoz: that's not how you upgrade [14:03] <chuyzoz> why not ? [14:03] <chuyzoz> how do you upgrade then? [14:04] <jorge_> hi [14:04] <raees> hi [14:04] <chuyzoz> i've been using linux for a little while .. so not really that experienced.. [14:04] <zeitlos> hello [14:04] <PrototypeX29A> ikonia: is there a way to compile the mainline kernel without pain, to test whether some bug still exists? [14:04] <ikonia> tobiasz: I'd be more worried about maintaining it going forward which is why i suggest a seperate /boot partition [14:04] <FastPutty> rob_p: hmm i have killed it butc what cause it use 100% cpu... [14:04] <ikonia> PrototypeX29A: why are you trying to build a kernel ? [14:04] <FastPutty> rob_p: could it be cause of an attack? [14:04] <egyn> ikonia: ok that makes sense, btw, where is the return value of a command such as ping stored? can i display it? [14:04] <chuyzoz> well the point is .. today i booted the computer and for one .. my mouse isn't working, which was working fine yesterday and i don't have ethernet connection [14:04] <chuyzoz> can somebody help me out ? [14:04] <PrototypeX29A> ikonia: i have kerneloops https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/496292 [14:05] <ikonia> egyn: normall do within the script [14:05] <jorge_> i have una grafic zotac 8400GS, and i want to install in my computer with ubuntu [14:05] <jorge_> but i dont have the pasword of root! [14:05] <ikonia> !sudo > jorge_ [14:05] <ubottu> jorge_, please see my private message [14:05] <rob_p> FastPutty: Unlikely. Sounds like something is broken. [14:05] <jorge_> okei [14:05] <PrototypeX29A> ikonia: i need to check whether the problem is fixed in the mainline [14:05] <FastPutty> rob_p: broken package? :S [14:05] <ikonia> PrototypeX29A: I suggest you let the people who maintain it fix it, as you don't sound confident with what you're doing [14:05] <l3ns> why is that I could not see the apache and the mysql running when I do the top command on the terminal? [14:06] <jorge_> i dont have the password of administrador [14:06] <egyn> ikonia: can one print it if only running from the terminal? [14:06] <PrototypeX29A> ikonia: that was not the answer i was wanting to hear [14:06] <PrototypeX29A> ikonia: thanks for your help, anyway [14:06] <mammuz> soreau, ok now reboot. no problems. [14:06] <steven_> hi [14:06] <ikonia> PrototypeX29A: that's the best option though, as if you don't know what you're doing your test won't be valid to the people who can make the updates [14:06] <kenpark> @jorge: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [14:06] <chuyzoz> sorry guys. noob question here... but how can i configure my ethernet connection? when i run sudo ifconfig eth0 up && sudo dhclient eth0 i get error fetching interface information. device not found [14:06] <soreau> mammuz: Your X log shows the nvidia glx module is still present. You need to make sure all nvidia glx packages are removed then completely un/re-install libgl1-mesa-glx [14:07] <ikonia> egyn: commands normally return 0 or 1 - but it's best to set it in the script [14:07] <chuyzoz> any ideas ? [14:07] <kornelia> http://pastebin.ca/1721302 ...can anybody help me with this ? [14:07] <oCean_> l3ns: maybe the apache and mysql processes were not in the top 15 [14:07] <ikonia> chuyzoz: use the network configuration tools in system->administration->network menu [14:07] <kornelia> http://pastebin.ca/1721302 ...can anybody help me with this ? my sound input doesnt work (realtek alc883) [14:07] <PrototypeX29A> ikonia: i am not a complete illiterate, so i am confident that there is some validity in my report [14:07] <chuyzoz> well my mouse isn't working for some reason .. i'll try it with just the keyboard [14:07] <rob_p> FastPutty: Or your kernel is spewing so much info that klogd is being overwhelmed. Does your kernel buffer show a repetition of events? [14:08] <egyn> ikonia: ok. well I've setup a cron job now with the or functionality of shutdown. thanks very much. [14:08] <oCean_> l3ns: by default top is sorted by %CPU usage. You can sort by other fields using the "<" and ">" keys [14:08] <ikonia> PrototypeX29A: I am not as you've not done any checking before diving in, eg: what the existing config is, what headers it's compatible with, what patches are requied [14:08] <ikonia> egyn: nice work [14:08] <egyn> ikonia: simple when one gets a little guidance [14:08] <l3ns> oCean_, ah.. but if I would just to check on those both, what parameters I should use using top? [14:08] <mammuz> soreau, I have to reinstall that library? [14:08] <chuyzoz> how can I get the network configuration tools up without a keyboard? from a cmd in terminal? [14:08] <freeride> !conky [14:09] <ikonia> chuyzoz: use the gui tool - it's easier [14:09] <rob_p> FastPutty: Are the last 20, 50, 100 lines of your kernel buffer the same message repeated over and over? [14:09] <freeride> !gnome-do [14:09] <chuyzoz> my mouse isn't working [14:09] <chuyzoz> so .. i just have the keyboard [14:09] <soreau> mammuz: After you make sure all nvidia packages are removed, yes to get 3D working with intel [14:09] <ikonia> chuyzoz: you can use tab + keyboard to navigate the gui [14:09] <LOAST> hi ... i have a q about istanbul [14:09] <kenpark> @kornelia are you sure you are using ubuntu? [14:10] <ikonia> LOAST: this is ubuntu support only [14:10] <oCean_> l3ns: you could search for the process id (PID) of the processes "ps axuww |grep mysql" and use the pid found in those commands: "top -p PID1,PID2" etc [14:10] <kornelia> @kenpark I am using mint 8 [14:10] <chuyzoz> yeah i could manage that .. but the problem is getting open the network tools... how can i access the "system" tab in ubuntu? [14:10] <chuyzoz> with just the keyboard [14:10] <ikonia> !mint | kornelia [14:10] <ubottu> kornelia: 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), BackTrack (support in #remote-exploit) [14:10] <ikonia> chuyzoz: tab and space bar [14:10] <ikonia> chuyzoz: tab navigates around - space is left click (or enter) [14:11] <kornelia> kenpark, does the card work with ubuntu ? [14:11] <penguin42> on a DVI setup with a Radeon is there anything that changes (other than gamma) the output value mapping? I'm finding blacks on this machine with DVI aren't as black as on my old machine which was VGA [14:11] <kenpark> @kornelia: Try #LinuxMint [14:11] <chuyzoz> hm... can't seem to be able to select the applications/places/system bars [14:11] <PrototypeX29A> ikonia: you're right, i do not know a lot about linux kernel compilation and configuration. That is why i try to figure out what the problem is [14:11] <chuyzoz> i cant just get alt -f2 [14:11] <LOAST> so where should i ask?? [14:11] <bullgard> I am missing my indicator-applet-session since I clicked on its context menus somehow. I logged out and logged in. I rebooted. indicator-applet-session (see http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-9-10-Alpha-5-Has-OpenOffice-org-3-1-1-120879.shtml) remains vanished. How to re-install indicator-applet-session? [14:11] <kornelia> kenpark, I already did :P [14:11] <ikonia> PrototypeX29A: best to let the guys in the bug report do it to verify it, nudge them in the bug report [14:12] <centerpoint> hi,I do not want to show preview of just PDF in File Browser,how can i do? [14:12] <oCean_> PrototypeX29A: have you been here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile? It'll shed a little more light on the subject. Still, kernel (re)compiling is kind of a 'pro' thing [14:12] <l3ns> oCean_, cool. that works fine, thanks :) [14:13] <mammuz> soreau, ok I did it. [14:13] <chuyzoz> okay . i got the network connections thing open... when i go to wired.. it just asks for the MAC address... what is that ? [14:13] <oCean_> l3ns: nice! [14:13] <ikonia> chuyzoz: use the tabs to look at the other options [14:13] <penguin42> chuyzoz: MAC address is a unique ID for your card [14:13] <PrototypeX29A> oCean_: yes, i have used that tutorial [14:14] <soreau> mammuz: Now hopefully next time you start X, glxinfo|grep renderer will not report glx is broke [14:14] <PrototypeX29A> oCean_: i already compiled and tested the latest ubuntu-kernel [14:14] <PrototypeX29A> oCean_: no i want to go with the mainline kernel [14:14] <l3ns> i wonder why there are 6 apache2 running on this machine... [14:14] <mammuz> soreau, restartx? [14:14] <oCean_> PrototypeX29A: aha, idk. [14:14] <chuyzoz> unique Id for my card. .. ? [14:14] <ikonia> l3ns: each one is a daemon, it's normal [14:15] <mammuz> soreau, or stopx and startx? [14:15] <centerpoint> hi,I do not want to show preview (thumbnail)of PDF in File Browser,how can i do? [14:15] <ikonia> chuyzoz: don't enter anything there [14:15] <soreau> mammuz: No, just log out [14:15] <oCean_> l3ns: those processes are called threads. That way you could handle a lot of requests :) [14:15] <ikonia> chuyzoz: look at th eother tabds [14:15] <mammuz> soreau, kk [14:15] <chuyzoz> okay ... i did .. i don't know much about networking .. i just put everything on automatic [14:15] <chuyzoz> and added the connection [14:15] <ikonia> chuyzoz: then you're done if it's set to dhcp - reboot and watfh it do it all for you [14:15] <chuyzoz> but yesterday .. the internet was working fine .. no configuartion was needed but now .. it doesn't seem to recognize eth0 [14:16] <chuyzoz> okay ..i'll reboot [14:16] <ikonia> chuyzoz: if you can see eth0 in the list - your done [14:16] <chuyzoz> by list you mean ifconfig?

It should be fixed now hopefully. Take care ;) [14:17] <soreau> mammuz: Yea I dont know why they have put two in one like that. Recipe for confusion [14:17] <PrototypeX29A> oCean_: perhaps it is easier, if i don't use make-kpkg [14:17] <chuyzoz> but thats a secondary problem [14:17] <soreau> mammuz: No problem, ave fun [14:17] <ikonia> chuyzoz: that's a seperate issue - one at a time please [14:17] <mammuz> soreau, yeah disaster... :D BB [14:18] <chuyzoz> okay .. rebooted .. i'll check ifconfig [14:18] <progre55> hi people! is it possible to import music into my ipod from my ubuntu? rhythmbox? or any better ways?

[14:46] <ikonia> pwnedulongtime: that's what I'm saying about how different kit has a big factor, rather than the speed of your kit [14:46] <penguin42> CyL: That doesn't sound too unusual [14:47] <jws> Hello [14:47] <penguin42> CyL: First is it 30GB or 30GiB (i.e. 1024 or 1000) and the filesystem data does use a bit fo space up [14:47] <oCean_> gajo_p: models.dat not found.. should be in /usr/share/hplip/data/models/ [14:47] <Dr_Willis> 5% of ext2/3/4 ios reserved - tuneable with the tune2fs command [14:47] <pwnedulongtime> ikonia: but first you said it's mostly HW, not config [14:48] <gajo_p> oCean_: well, how do i get that? =) [14:48] <oCean_> gajo_p: the missing models.dat is from "hplip-data". [14:48] <CyL> penguin42: df only says G, does not specifu if it is GiB or GByte... [14:48] <ikonia> pwnedulongtime: yes, the type, configuration and number of hardware, not performance [14:48] <oCean_> gajo_p: could be caused by previous hplip install, not sure though. [14:48] <penguin42> CyL: Yeh I think it's probably GiB, ie each GiB is larger than a GB [14:49] <gajo_p> oCean_: could be that doing make uninstall on the one installed from source deleted it... reinstall now [14:49] <jws> gibillion? [14:49] <jws> :) [14:49] <CyL> penguin42: anyway, all the units are probably the same, if I have 30 GB and onnlu 172 MB used, why do I have 28 GB available? [14:49] <pwnedulongtime> ikonia: 4 seconds is amazing though [14:49] <CyL> penguin42: and why there is used space, if i just formated it? [14:49] <ikonia> pwnedulongtime: thats why I said it would be different for everyone and no real average, as 1000's of people will have a quadcore cpu, but how many with exactly the same motherboard, disk drive, disk drive partition, same number of usb ports, with the same devices in [14:49] <ikonia> pwnedulongtime: that's only kernel boot, it's about 10-11 to desktop [14:49] <Dr_Willis> CyL: 5% of ext2/3/4 ios reserved - tuneable with the tune2fs command [14:50] <ikonia> pwnedulongtime: until I removed a SCSI card - it took 30 seconds [14:50] <pwnedulongtime> ikonia: undrstood...just kernel for me is 24 seconds [14:50] <penguin42> CyL: The used space will be from the filesystem metadata - e.g. data structures it holds to know about things; and as Dr_W says 5% of that 30G is reserved - you can get to it, but it's slower to access that last 5% [14:50] <CyL> Dr_Willis: that would be a ext4, so that make a little bit of sense, but I still don't understand the math of df... [14:50] <pwnedulongtime> ikonia: yeah I notice boot time stalls on SCSCI [14:50] <pwnedulongtime> for like 15 seconds [14:51] <ikonia> pwnedulongtime: so consider things like how big your boot partition is, is it shared with your root partition (bigger disk to search for the blcoks it wants), how usb ports do you have etc etc [14:51] <CyL> penguin42: now the math starts to make sense [14:51] <gajo_p> oCean_: models.dat is in /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat [14:51] <penguin42> CyL: Try doing the df and getting the space in kB and see if it works out closer [14:51] <trazan1> my file system has big problame and i use (fsck.ext4) but every time i's be corrupted again [14:51] <gajo_p> oCean_: are you sure it's owned by hplip-data? since i just reinstalled it and it's still not found [14:51] <CyL> penguin42, Dr_Willis: thanks for teh advice [14:52] <oCean_> gajo_p: hp-setup [14:52] <gajo_p> oCean_: it still gives me the same error [14:53] <oCean_> gajo_p: what error exactly?

I'm trying to install ubuntu 9.10 parallel to windows xp, whose ntfs partition is using the entire disk atm. However at the step "prepare partitions" at the installer, I can find no way to resize the partition. Am I blind or is resizing not supported by the installer? [15:13] <burkmat> migi, You could do what I did before, create a new container or use symlinks to have the config files encrypted. [15:13] <legend2440> NFischer: i had a radeon 9600 with tv out. amd stopped supporting it and the open source drivers worked fine except for tv out i ended up switching to nvidia so i could get tv out working again [15:14] <Dr_Willis> Andreas: i find it faster to boot to windows. and have windows defrag/scandisk/ then use the windows tools out to resize the window partitions. [15:14] <eddym> hey all is there an audio software prg which servers your hard drives and check for duplicates [15:14] <eddym> songs.. [15:14] <Dr_Willis> Andreas: you defimnatly should defrag/scakdisk from windows first. and after resizeing. [15:14] <NFischer> legend2440, thats what im very close to ;) [15:14] <migi> burkmat, you mean make a symlink of ~/.rhythmbox (or whatever it's called) [15:14] <legend2440> NFischer: which ati card you have? [15:14] <oCean_> gajo_p: aha: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/laserjet/hp_laserjet_1020.html#note8, but what plugin right? [15:15] <Dr_Willis> Andreas: i normally resize and leave part of the HD 'unallocated' and let the installer use that [15:15] <NFischer> legend2440, x1950xt [15:15] <marius_> how can I change te gdm theme in 9.04? [15:15] <burkmat> migi, Yeah, something like that. Can't remember the exact path of Rhythmbox's config. [15:15] <Andreas> Dr_Willis: I did defrag/chkdsk. Are you certain Win Xp can resize partitions? I thought Vista added that feature in? [15:15] <marius_> it's different [15:15] <Dr_Willis> marius_: short answer - You dont. [15:15] <Dr_Willis> Andreas: i forget what windows can do what. I dont use any of them much tehse days [15:15] <migi> burkmat, ok I'll do that. Thanks [15:15] <Dr_Willis> Andreas: the insatller can resize - ive done it befor. [15:16] <jws> sorry, will try [15:16] <legend2440> NFischer: yes amd stopped supporting that one too http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.12&lang=English [15:16] <gajo_p> oCean_: well i think it's foo2zjs at least [15:17] <oCean_> gajo_p: that seems right: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1040024.html [15:17] <burkmat> migi, Anytime.

[15:20] <S0LIDUS> tsoiland, You still need a master! [15:20] <suigeneris> a package I apt-get'd came with a apache.conf. does that mean I should put the contents to my main virtual hosts file or are they injected automatically? [15:21] <oCean_> gajo_p: yeah, seems one of those issues, that is *not* a 1-2-3 solution to. Bye for now, might talk to you later [15:21] <freetime> hi , can anybody help to masc my deluge curent version from 1.2.0 rc5 to 1.1.9 [15:21] <migi> burkmat, one more thing, this symlink probably also means you had decoy settings in your outer volume, right? TrueCrypt told me not to write to the outer volume though (it could damage the hidden volume)... [15:21] <tsoiland> S0LIDUS, whats the master? same as controller? [15:21] <DaZ> frojnd: mesa-utils [15:22] <Hans_Henrik> any1 know how i can export my entire harddrive to a VMWare and/or VirtualBox compatible, bootable VM? [15:22] <justine777w> Some of my apps on Facebook will not work. My computer freezes and I updated the flashplayer, but it still will not work. [15:22] <S0LIDUS> tsoiland, The master is the one that issues ip addresses and pools the work load. What type of cloud are you trying to create? [15:23] <burkmat> migi, Wasn't using a hidden volume actually... but if you're going for complete security then yeah, I guess you'd need decoy stuff and manually make sure stuff gets pointed right (not sure how the hidden volume works actually. Do you mount it just like any other volume?) [15:23] <tsoiland> S0LIDUS, well basically i want to start off with only one computer [15:23] <frojnd> DaZ: what exactly I'm looking for? [15:23] <tsoiland> S0LIDUS, today I run debian with xen to virtualize my servers. But its a lot of manuall configuration and setup [15:23] <frojnd> when glxinfo? [15:24] <DaZ> frojnd: glxinfo |grep direct&&lsmod|grep nvidia [15:24] <DaZ> do it, pastebin it. [15:25] <migi> burkmat, it's one big file of a fixed size, and if you enter your real password, it decrypts the hidden volume, but if you enter your help-the-police-is-here password, it decrypts a decoy "outer" volume, containing things that look important but that aren't the things you really want to hide [15:25] <frojnd> DaZ: I only get lines like: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on desplay ":0.0". like 20 lines of those and one line is Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual [15:25] <Dr_Willis> Hans_Henrik: ive seen guides on using dd to image the drive to a compat hd image format for thiose. [15:25] <justine777w> Some one help: Some of my apps on Facebook will not work. My computer freezes and I updated the flashplayer, but it still will not work. [15:25] <frojnd> DaZ: that's it [15:25] <S0LIDUS> tsoiland, You cant really create a cloud with just one machine. Unless your using virtulisation in which case you would have a Virtual master and a virtual node. What is the workload this cloud will handle? [15:25] <burkmat> migi, Ah, alright. Well then just stuff a decoy config in the outer one I suppose. :) [15:25] <DaZ> frojnd: did you install drivers manually? [15:26] <DaZ> like not from the repository [15:26] <frojnd> DaZ: apt-get install nvidia-glx-new for my fx 5500 [15:26] <DaZ> frojnd: /var/log/Xorg.log [15:26] <frojnd> DaZ: uf now I remembered maybe I didn't restartX [15:26] <Dr_Willis> I got an 5500 also - on my server..

[15:29] <S0LIDUS> tsoiland, You should have an understanding of what the master is. As this will give your nodes there opertaing system, so know you will always need a virtual master if you plan on doing it this way. [15:29] <S0LIDUS> tsoiland, *operating [15:29] <burkmat> Sattvic, see `man lspci` if you want info.

(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) [15:31] <burkmat> justine777w, I'm not 100% sure, but I think there are multiple variants of the flash package available. `flashplugin-nonfree` as well as some other one... Let me do some digging. Which one are you using? [15:31] <justine777w> petsounds: cafe world and fishville [15:31] <fornext> S0LIDUS, your right :) [15:32] <burkmat> Sattvic, ...well... If all you see is a flickering black screen and you can't install, then I'd say that's preventing your install? ^^ [15:32] <justine777w> burkmat: i am using adobe flashplugin APT for 9.04+ [15:32] <S0LIDUS> tsoiland, The master would create a pool of all your machines resources. If this is setup correctley it would give them out per workload. [15:32] <DaZ> frojnd: nvidia.com recommends 173, but it should work on 169 [15:33] <penguin42> ghostlines: Hang on a sec - extended partitions are special [15:33] <Sattvic> burkmat: doesn't ubuntu have a hardware manager GUI to see versions of everthing? [15:33] <burkmat> justine777w, Hm... Sorry, no idea how I can help then. ^^ But keep asking in the channel once in awhile, sooner or later someone pops up who happens to be an expert. :) Good luck! [15:33] <tsoiland> S0LIDUS, that doesnt seem very heavy, can I run the master on an older machine? [15:34] <DaZ> frojnd: find /lib/modules|grep nvidia&&ls /usr/lib/|grep libGL&&uname -a [15:34] <frojnd> DaZ: buat I don't have those numbers on ubuntu 8.04 [15:34] <justine777w> petsound: can you help me with this problem? [15:34] <DaZ> frojnd: because 8.04 is not supported that much [15:34] <burkmat> Sattvic, I'm sure there's one somewhere in the repos, but I've never seen one used. But if the card is preventing install you couldn't use an Ubuntu utility to check things anyway, right? [15:35] <frojnd> DaZ: so what package should I install? [15:35] <S0LIDUS> tsoiland, You would be looking to setup a beowulf cluster. To create a cloud from this you just virtualize your nodes rather than rely on the hardware.

[15:44] <S0LIDUS> tony__, sudo vi /etc/apt/source.list and remove the comments [15:44] <coz_> migi, it can cause issues with other applications but if you go into your home directory ctrl+H to show hidden files...look for .recently-used.xbel and cahnge that to recently-used withouth the dot or .xbel although if you just take out the dot I think it works also [15:45] <coz_> migi, what that will do is change that file into a directory and it cannot be written to [15:45] <DaZ> frojnd: or you can just use nvidia-xconfig instead [; [15:45] <bastid_raZor> l3ns: uname -m [15:45] <punto> my keyboard stopped working in X, is there a way to fix it without restarting kdm?

[15:47] <Starcraftmazter> Kane: GNU/Linux* [15:47] <coz_> migi, I use that command with an edge binding so each time I hit the left edge of the screen the recent documents are erased [15:48] <migi> lol [15:48] <coz_> migi, if you are using emerald as a window decorator there will be issues if you change that recently-used .xbel [15:48] <l3ns> bastid_raZor, hmm but it also follows that i have a 32bit processor, yes? otherwise this machine won't load?

No idea what that is [16:37] <ikonia> Zelest: i don't think (but don't know) you can use it through things like gnome network manager, so you'd have to set it in the /etc/interfaces file, but that means it would disable gnome-network-manager [16:38] <joaopinto> urlwolf, ia32-libs [16:38] <urlwolf> great. thnks [16:38] <dj_> hey guys i am downloadin 50 files how can i kille my downloads i just dont want to go throught each file and right click cancel [16:38] <Zelest> ikonia, I don't have gnome (nor X) installed.. so that's fine.. :) [16:38] <ikonia> urlwolf: I can't see that working if the package has an id of 32 bit, [16:38] <mobi-sheep> dj_: How are you downloading files?

[16:38] <jt1234> how do I set an environment variable which will affect a program executed with a gnome launcher? [16:38] <ikonia> Zelest: go for it then, look at the interfaces file and just use eth0:1 or something like that [16:39] <Zelest> ikonia, well, those won't get their own MAC addresses, will they?

[16:39] <Zelest> ikonia, So that won't help then, seeing DHCP is fairly depending on multiple MAC's ;) [16:39] <gadget3000> Organized: because version 1.1.35 is a development version [16:40] <mobi-sheep> dj_: You can hold SHIFT/CTRL to multiple highlight many things at once.

See !root and !wfm for more information. [17:34] <ActionParsnip> !gksudo [17:34] <ubottu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [17:34] <ActionParsnip> M1TE5H: read that [17:34] <DaZ> M1TE5H: because they don't want you to know the truth [17:34] <LucidPerry> airtonix: Okay, great.

[17:54] <thevishy> yes ChogyDan I plan to do that , but still I feel that the problem is that swap is being used too much ? [17:54] <burkmat> pspfreak, Swap is... good at what it does. How much RAM and how much swap do you have? [17:54] <rob_p> thevishy: 500MB of RAM is fairly anemic for today's desktop systems. 1GB would keep you from hitting swap, which is causing a majority of your slowdown. === _apshields is now known as apshields [17:54] <ctmjr> !medibuntu > nasrullah1 [17:54] <ubottu> nasrullah1, please see my private message [17:54] <nasrullah1> thanks [17:54] <pspfreak> i have... aBOUT 728mb of ram, and how do I see my swap? [17:54] <Flare183> thevishy: I have 5GB of swap so swap is good :) [17:54] <ChogyDan> thevishy: I doubt it. But I don't know. I find linux is very good with swap for me.

[17:55] <thevishy> so I am wondering why linux even has to swap [17:55] <Flare183> thevishy: I agree with rob_p, java can eat your memory alive [17:55] <pspfreak> Rob_p: true [17:55] <thevishy> this one is a native Java I think [17:56] <BluesKaj> pspfreak, just use the nick you want to address your questions [17:56] <Luzido> thevishy: try to see which process occupies ram: start "top" press "M" [17:56] <pspfreak> i know.

[17:57] <thevishy> I want to upgrade to 1 GB though , this is a very old system [17:57] <Slart> Kane: undo that mistake.. one alternative might be to tell us a bit more about this problem of yours [17:57] <isolat3dsh33p> guys, in the appearance settings background tab, there's one wallpaper which looks like slides of wallpaper. Does this background, if applied, will change in a certain period of time? If yes, how long? If not, what's exactly this background is?

They're where you downloaded them to. :) Using Firefox?

[18:18] <burkmat> Kane, Then in Firefox, click Tools -> Downloads. Rightclick the download and select "Open Containing Folder".

I installed warsow and tried to play it but it crashed my computer as does all of the FPS games I download but then I got it on my Windows XP and it plays just fine. so whats wrong? [18:20] <znika> dimitar: do you think that this printer canon mf 4010 may function on ubuntu 9.10? [18:20] <buttons840> jtaji, synaptic shows vim-common as installed, when i apt-get install vim-common it says it's already installed; so perhaps this is another problem I have? another interesting this is that vi (the one that comes installed on the distro) work on my other computer, but not here, which makes me suspect a configuation problem with the keyboard possibly [18:20] <jtaji> buttons840: you want vim-nox, or vim-gnome [18:20] <BlouBlou> haresh: No problem. [18:20] <dimitar> znika:yes it can...but you need to install drivers for mf printers [18:20] <syafi3> mamak [18:20] <syafi3> hye all [18:20] <jtaji> buttons840: I've always encountered that with vim-tiny, it acts more like original vi [18:21] <kent> does anyone know why i can play those games on Ubuntu but i can play them on windows?

[18:21] <hikenboot> I would like to know how close to saturation my nic card is on my linux box..( i think the issue is with the windows box but wanted to be sure) [18:21] <hikenboot> how would i do this [18:21] <jtaji> buttons840: vim-nox also gives you the fully featured vim, vim-tiny is quite crippled in comparison [18:22] <burkmat> kent, Have you installed graphics drivers in Ubuntu? [18:22] <buttons840> jtaji, do you know what vim-common is? [18:22] <jtaji> buttons840: it's all the bits that are common to all forms of the binary [18:22] <kent> I know were to find the games but i try to play them it crashes my computer if i use them on Ubuntu [18:22] <terriblesarcasm> How would I go about installing the bzr branch of grub as to support grub's new experimental graphics menu? [18:22] <dimitar> znika:synaptic package manager [18:22] <jtaji> buttons840: for example: vim-tiny, vim-nox, vim-gnome, there are others too I think [18:22] <Slart> hikenboot: if you're looking for info on network bandwidth usage you can try something like nload [18:22] <jtaji> buttons840: those give you the binary compiled with more or less options [18:23] <conb123> Any idea what codecs i need to play .ra real audio files in rhythmbox ?

(but need to enter pw) [18:23] <jtaji> buttons840: and possibly additional files necessary for that version [18:23] <dimitar> KaZeR:maybe you accidently replace codes for you printer...did you check to print some page?

[18:23] <KaZeR> dimitar, it prints a few correct lines [18:24] <burkmat> matelot, Maybe an ugly solution, but you could add a script to lock the desktop at login, so it automatically logs in - and instantly shows you the "Locked by <user>" and demand password to unlock? [18:24] <wolter> mazda01, I think I installed a theme and problem was solved [18:24] <kent> oo [18:24] <kent> ok [18:24] <Slart> matelot: there is probably a setting for remembering the last logged in username as well [18:24] <wolter> What icon theme are you using?

And i don't want to go back to windows I like Ubuntu way better. [18:27] <Slart> areal: nevermind then..

[18:31] <mazda01> usser, i want a forwarded X gedit, I know how to use nano not vim but that still doesn't solve the issue I am having. you only provided a work around. === anthony is now known as Guest52320 [18:31] <victorchen> Hello, I'm wondering why the Ubuntu 9.10 detects my wireless network, but when I enter the security password, which I'm sure is correct, ubuntu won't connect to my network? [18:31] <robin__> i seem to have a problem with burning cds, it just sits on the screen saying normalizing tracks, anyone know what the problem may be? [18:31] <EastDallas> victorchen: WPA or WEP? [18:32] <kent> burkmat do you know what is up with my Ubuntu games? [18:32] <burkmat> kent, Having a certain card is quite useless if you have no drivers for them. Are you sure you do? [18:32] <victorchen> EastDallas: WEP [18:32] <Slart> hikenboot: try generating some major traffic.. there are tools to do this.. or use ping with some large packets.. let that run and see what kind of cpu load you get. Perhaps iostat might be useful too [18:32] <edgy> burkmat: you are right, thanks a lot for the hint, but why it didn't recognize it while file file.iso shows ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data [18:32] <dimitar> kent,graffic. [18:33] <usser> mazda01, hm, try with sudo gedit maybe [18:33] <Slart> mazda01: sudo with gui things can be bad [18:33] <EastDallas> victorchen: I've also had some problems getting connected to WEP secured networks. I switched to WPA2 and it works like a charm. [18:33] <Slart> !gksudo | mazda01 [18:33] <ubottu> mazda01: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [18:33] <dimitar> Slart but functionallity is good? [18:33] <burkmat> edgy, Honestly don't know... I've had it throw me that error for a perfectly formatted .iso too, while mounting others without bugging me... [18:34] <Slart> dimitar: yes.. it can create some nice graphs and stats of all kinds of things.. but I wouldn't really say it competes with conky [18:34] <mazda01> !gksudo | Slart [18:34] <ubottu> Slart: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [18:34] <hikenboot> Slart, I am actually copy 100 G of data across network .. but that doesnt tell me what 100% load is on the linux box..how do i tell what 100% all those utilities tell how much data is being passed not as a percentage of out of max [18:34] <the_cyber_guy> where does synaptic put chached packages [18:34] <areal> newclimb, whats that restricted extras? [18:34] <mazda01> Slart, i already knew that, thanks. you should tell the guy who was trying to help me [18:34] <ignatiusdown> Hi.

Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [18:35] <the_cyber_guy> where does synaptic put cached packages [18:35] <usser> the_cyber_guy, /var/cache/apt [18:35] <mazda01> usser, i figured it out, i forgot gedit isn't installed on this box, i have mythbuntu so mousepad is on there. when I issue gksudo mousepad foo, it works. [18:35] <hikenboot> CPU isnt being loaded i know that but network is what i am concerned with [18:35] <ignatiusdown> I have a problem playing videos. [18:35] <Slart> mazda01: you were the one suggesting to use sudo with a gui app [18:35] <dimitar> Slart i dont like conky....i only use screenlets for now....lol [18:35] <kent> yes i opened up my computer and checked and then i used system information and it said i have Integrated graphics called Intel Coroporation 82845G/GL[brookdale-G]/GE Chipset integrated graphics device (Rev 01) [18:35] <usser> mazda01, cool [18:35] <Guest60895> hi i am running x64 ubuntu 9.10 fresh install with the gnome Xwindows.

Any tips on the best way to report this? the bug reporting system seems to expect a process or package and I don't know what package covers sleep mode [18:36] <Slart> mazda01: ahh.. nevermind.. my bad.. I'll go to bed without dessert [18:36] <EastDallas> victorchen: you may also want to try installing wicd. It's an alternative to network-manager. (sudo apt-get install wicd) [18:37] <mazda01> Slart, k, :-) [18:37] <areal> flash player now works, thanks newclimb and Slart :D [18:37] <ignatiusdown> Can someone help me?

To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [18:39] <edgy> burkmat: thanks again for the clarification [18:39] <rob_p> Guest60895: Do, "free" at the command prompt and see how much you are digging into swap. I'm guessing you're hitting it pretty good. [18:40] <burkmat> kent, Maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-675870.html could be of some use? [18:40] <incognito> i need help converting grub/menu.lst to grub/grub.cfg [18:40] <incognito> is there a tutorial to help with this [18:40] <Guest60895> Swap: 1100412 276720 823692 [18:40] <kent> I tried that i think i got a defected CD [18:41] <vivek> Is there is a Ubuntu mentors channel here / [18:41] <vivek> ? [18:41] <rob_p> Guest60895: Yeah, you're into it. You need more RAM. [18:41] <dimitar> vivek:i think not [18:41] <langley> I downloaded the .pkm of the ati linux driver, but fglrxinfo still gives me shit.. Anybody know what to do? [18:41] <vivek> What is the channel for mentors to interact with newbies ? [18:42] <Guest60895> alright. i thought linux would handle ram better than windows [18:42] <the_cyber_guy> ! [18:42] <rob_p> Guest60895: It does. [18:42] <shane2> vivek: i don't think such a channel exists here. [18:42] <Guest60895> well xp ran faster, with the same mem [18:42] <mdg149> repost: my sleep mode was working on intrepid, and just stopped working when I upgraded to Karmic. Any tips on the best way to report this? the bug reporting system seems to expect a process or package and I don't know what package covers sleep mode [18:42] <shane2> vivek: you are freee to ask questions here though. [18:42] <kent> Does anyone know were i can download the ISO of a better Linux OS than Ubuntu? maby if there is one? [18:43] <langley> First you should decide on which to get :S [18:43] <joaopinto> try asking on #Linux, this channel is for ubuntu support, not Linux in general [18:43] <vivek> shane2: Thanks for the info. [18:43] <Slart> kent: there are lots of linux flavours.. some like gentoo, others prefer Suse of Fedora.. Debian is popular as well [18:43] <rob_p> Guest60895: Memory management under Linux has always been superior to Windows memory management. [18:43] <vivek> Which channels takes care of ubuntu packaging ? [18:43] <perlsyntax> ikonia,What was the file i need to put it in? [18:43] <Slart> kent: google is your friend when it comes to finding where to download these [18:43] <langley> I downloaded the package of the ati linux driver, but fglrxinfo still gives me shit.. Anybody know what to do? [18:44] <perlsyntax> i forgot the file name. [18:44] <victorchen> EastDallas: WICD hasn't worked for me. Once I enter the network package, WICD is stuck at validating authentication [18:44] <halberd> I have multiple desktops with "desktop wall" but I don't want a panel in all of them [18:44] <victorchen> EastDallas: *network password [18:44] <halberd> can I selectively disable the panel in the bottom two desktops?

[18:45] <EastDallas> victorchen: do you know what network device you have? Is it broadcom? [18:45] <Guest60895> its just strange. [18:45] <jmyers> langley: ATI support for Linux is weak at best. Took me a week of tinkering with it daily to get mine working. Tho I had added complications with my AMD 64 architecture. [18:45] <rob_p> Guest60895: Perhaps something else is wrong then. [18:45] <jmyers> glad I wasted my time typing that out [18:45] <Atlas> can samone help me with ubuntu instalation from LAN i have a problem with chosing a mirror of the Ubuntu archive [18:45] <victorchen> EastDallas: I'm using a netgear network device [18:45] <jmyers> langley: ATI support for Linux is weak at best.

[18:46] <perlsyntax> How do i find out the dns number if they didn't give it to me when i sign up? [18:46] <shane2> perlsyntax: ask them, go to their website, or just put in an open dns number [18:46] <EastDallas> victorchen: have you tried switching to WPA2? It's more secure anyway. [18:46] <perlsyntax> i look i can't find them..

[18:48] <Guest60895> resolv.conf [18:48] <jmyers> langley: my recommendation is to check the ubuntu forums on how to purge the fglrx packages, before installing ati's drivers. What ended up working for me was purging fglrx and using the --buildandinstallpkg Ubuntu/karmic switch on the driver. [18:48] <perlsyntax> i useing virgin modile broanband [18:48] <perlsyntax> shane [18:48] <dath> how can i check whether hardware acceleration works in playonlinux (wine)? my game runs so slowly :( [18:49] <shane2> perlsyntax: just put those numbers into the slots in your network manager where it asks for dns servers.

I know I've been reading forums and howtos and blogs and everything else under the sun to get my Radeon HD 4850 working. ATI cards in general just seem to perform poorly due to poor development and support on ATI's part. My suggestion is to google your card model number and tack Ubuntu on the end. Also search the Ubuntu forums. [18:54] <Kane> im using banshee but it says i might need 2 rescan my music.. [18:55] <justyellowboy> Hello! :3 [18:56] <langley> jmyers: Is ati never gonna fix that?

From what I read it worked pretty well in 9.04, it's just lacking development in 9.10. I had someone in here who seemed well versed in the topic (can't remember the name) told me that something would be taking place by summer that would have us ATI users in better shape. Don't know if he meant new ATI drivers, new kernel, or what. [18:58] <BluesKaj> langley, jmyers . don't forget to stop X and kdm when installing your new driver , best to follow this procedure, http://www.pastebin.ca/1721532 [18:58] <dath> how can i check whether hardware acceleration works in playonlinux (wine)? my game runs so slowly [18:58] <justyellowboy> Oh lord, guys: I have Group Service Client issues with my Windoesn't!

I'm not an expert at Apache/MySQL, but if you are, you might want to look into that.

[19:14] <apparle> Kane: Can you hear any file from VLC? [19:15] <rethus> how can i see with aptitude on which path the files in an packages would be saved? [19:15] <SAM_theman> jmyers, we tried it on live as well as installed and its empty [19:15] <thevishy> swaps increase as time passes ? [19:15] <joaopinto> rethus, you can't you would need to check packages.ubuntu.com, or check the .deb with dpkg -c file.deb [19:15] <EastDallas> YouMust: I'm still trying to find an answer for you, but in the meantime you can add a user by using command line: sudo adduser username [19:15] <YouMust> EastDallas i can manualy add users > add user [19:15] <SAM_theman> jmyers, also the /etc/X11 has no xorg.conf file by default [19:15] <thevishy> lets say I have the xboard or some other chat server window , does the swap get higher and higher ? [19:15] <jmyers> SAM_theman: what do you need the xorg.conf file for? I've read several troubleshooting docs that tells me to delete it if I can't get X to load. [19:16] <Hermitcrab> Thanx apparle , I appreciate it! [19:16] <YouMust> EastDallas, i need to give the users permissions to view my usb drive [19:16] <jmyers> SAM_theman: therefore, x WILL load without it, with default settings. [19:16] <h4f> any one have an idea why my wireless signal during the day is stronger than night ? [19:16] <m0ar> thevishy: No, the swap-partition has a set size. [19:16] <YouMust> can i do that manually too? [19:16] <apparle> Kane: Also do you hear the startup sound when ubuntu starts [19:16] <dath> how can i mount an ntfs partition on boot so i don't have to enter the password every time i mount it? [19:16] <SAM_theman> jmyers, to increase the resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768 [19:16] <m0ar> h4f: Electronical equipment makes the signal weaker. [19:16] <Kane> i have sounds cause i can hear cd music and music in the games i have [19:16] <wahben> h4f, Moonlight is the problem [19:16] <h4f> :D [19:16] <SAM_theman> jmyers, mind you Im on a tosh laptop [19:17] <m0ar> Kane: Did you install restricted extras? [19:17] <thevishy> m0ar, does it occupy the full Swap then ? [19:17] <Kane> its installing at the moment [19:17] <wahben> h4f, my wireless signal sucks regardless [19:17] <jmyers> SAM_theman: use System>Preferences>Display [19:17] <SAM_theman> jmyers, there is no restricted drivers its blank [19:17] <AyCarumba> Is there a command in terminal to find out information on your CPU and RAM on your computer???? [19:17] <m0ar> thevishy: That's possible. The SWAP works exactly as physical RAM. If you RAM isn't enough ubuntu will pre-cache files in SWAP [19:17] <h4f> m0ar: wahben: didn't think about that . the temperature is affecting the signal [19:17] <Kane> i really hope it works [19:17] <jmyers> SAM_theman: uugh, ati video card? [19:18] <m0ar> h4f: No, that's not possible. [19:18] <SAM_theman> jmyers, trident [19:18] <thevishy> okay thanks [19:18] <h4f> wahben: well my wireless can give me up to 2mb/s [19:18] <m0ar> h4f: And if it is, it's an extremely small diffrence [19:18] <h4f> m0ar: may be during night there is more interference some how ? [19:18] <wahben> h4f, I am about 10 meters away from router and my I can get about 50kB/sec if im lucky [19:19] <jmyers> SAM_theman: not sure I can help you any further my man. Have you searched synaptic for any trident video drivers? [19:19] <YouMust> EastDallas: can i give users permissions to use a usb drive manually in terminal? [19:19] <dath> Kane: it does, im listening to mp3 right now ;) all you need is to install that restricted extras package, then all programs who support mp3 can play it. it just isnt being shipped with ubuntu because of legal restrictions so you have to install it before you can listen to mp3s [19:19] <apparle> Kane: so sound is working........can you hear any other file other than MP3 in VLC,............. like wav [19:19] <wahben> h4f, I think its my wifi card that sucks.. and it's linux drivers [19:19] <m0ar> h4f: Is it stronger or weaker in the daytime? [19:19] <SAM_theman> jmyers, nope, thx anyway [19:19] <h4f> wahben it's something wrong with your conf probably. the best chanel for signal is 6. but again if no other wireless with this chanel is near [19:20] <h4f> m0ar daytime stronger [19:20] <m0ar> Kane: Which I already told you twice. paste 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' in your terminal window and press enter. [19:20] <Kane> thats what i already did [19:20] <mattwestm> hmm, I am unable to login and this message appears in my /var/log/user.log [19:20] <mattwestm> bonobo-activation-server (matt-2895): could not associate with desktop session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-bCOnwgQFEh: Connection refused [19:20] <h4f> wahben: change driver ? [19:20] <Kane> dunno [19:21] <wahben> h4f, have tried madwifi & the default one , i think that its just a bad card. [19:21] <EastDallas> YouMust: can you pastebin your /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf [19:21] <dath> Kane: that command does the same as installing restricted extras via the software center. [19:21] <YouMust> EastDallas sure 1 sec [19:21] <wbmj> h4f: Either you having signal overlap at night or your ISP is throttling down in the evening [19:21] <wahben> is there anything like a linux-certified hardware website? [19:21] <Kane> oka thanks for the help everybody === DBU`s is now known as rafaqueque [19:22] <h4f> wahben: I am changing drivers with airdriver-ng [19:22] <DasEi> could someone do a : lsattr /etc and tell me, if the output contains an "e" ? [19:22] <Kane> when i stream the music what destination shall i put it in [19:22] <wahben> h4f, hmm.. haven't heard about it, will check [19:22] <DasEi> !hcl | wahben [19:22] <ubottu> wahben: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ [19:23] <SAM_theman> jmyers, its installed by defalut [19:23] <dath> Kane: why do you want to stream it? i thought u want to listen to mp3 files [19:23] <hikenboot> figured out the slow network problem there is a vista/208 hotfix http://www.vistax64.com/network-sharing/227529-network-transmition-slow-between-xp-linux-etc-vista.html [19:23] <Kane> i do, but how i change it to mp3 ? [19:23] <dath> Kane: do you want to convert a cd to mp3 files or what? [19:24] <Kane> no want to listen to music that i downloadet from the internet, from a hp on the internet, how do i do that [19:24] <h4f> hikenboot: isn't this ubuntu chanell ? [19:24] <YouMust> EastDallas: here you go :) http://pastebin.com/d4856bb3f [19:24] <dath> Kane: just open the file like any other file, the default program will open and play it. you can open it with other programs by right clicking [19:26] <thevishy> this is the official ubuntu support channel [19:26] <SAM_theman> jmyers, But going back to my main question which was "why is there no xorg.conf file in the X11 directory?" [19:26] <ddo> .org [19:26] <SAM_theman> jmyers, in 9.04 there was an "xorg.conf" file in the X11 directory [19:26] <EastDallas> the line near the bottom that says '<define_admin_auth group="admin"/>', add a line after it that says '<return result="yes"/> ' [19:26] <jmyers> SAM_theman: I don't have an answer to that question. I know trolling about in here the last couple weeks, you aren't the only one who doesn't have xorg.conf after a fresh install. [19:26] <EastDallas> YouMust: the line near the bottom that says '<define_admin_auth group="admin"/>', add a line after it that says '<return result="yes"/> ' [19:27] <DasEi> SAM_theman: it's because main graphic functions have moved to the kernel, so karmic comes with empty xorg.conf in default.But you can still use it to moderate graphics [19:27] <BluesKaj> !xorg.conf [19:27] <ubottu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[19:28] <Kane> when i do that it says that the stream is encrypted and decryptin is not possible [19:29] <Funker> Hi. I upgraded from 9.04 and 9.10 on an dell 910 now the broadcom wireless device does not work. I tried various guides however the last one available (http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/11/broadcom-wireless-driver-fix-in-karmic.html) requires me to run the update manager. Sadly, this is not possible for me as i can ONLY connect via wireless. The only choice i have is to somehow get the required... [19:29] <Funker> ...packages from a windows box over to the dell mini; however i can not figure out where to get this bcmwl-kernel-source package [19:29] <FloodBot4> Funker: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:29] <AyCarumba> Is there a command in terminal to find out information on your CPU and RAM on your computer????

[21:57] <lutinvert> ardchoil1e: i went in gconf-editor but i can't find the app i'm looking for (vmware) [21:57] <jtd> yeah, the point is to give her the netbook version [21:57] <Slart> aliquerer: I use lyx myself.. I doubt pdflatex adds some security/encryption by default.. [21:57] <burkmat> aliquerer, If you want to try it I could try opening it. [21:57] <Slart> aliquerer: sure it's not the teacher that is broken? =) [21:58] <ardchoil1e> lutinvert: I thought you wanted the trash icon put onto the desktop [21:58] <`mOOse`> jtd: why?

[22:26] <Slart> epaphus: then a quick "sudo apt-get build-dep ike" should get you the dependencies [22:26] <burkmat> HaskellLove, I have no idea, but that's a terrible way of learning. Tinker with it! It's the mindset you need. [22:26] <kn100> nigelcourtney, what's wrong with it? [22:27] <burkmat> dragon, You could disable showing users altogether, just show a "username: " dialog?

[23:26] <junior> jlj [23:26] <maco> Gibson: fairly social channel [23:26] <ardchoil1e> !gksudo | MTec007 [23:26] <ubottu> MTec007: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [23:27] <maco> Gibson: heh ok :) [23:27] <Gibson> i just feel like i need to take a class or something to get it all [23:27] <maco> Gibson: well, if you ever want to hang out with us, you're always welcome [23:27] <MTec007> ardchoil1e, well i use nano any way [23:27] <Gibson> thanks. i appreciate it. [23:27] <ardchoil1e> MTec007: om [23:27] <newser> anyone knows which application can help me record gps data and connect a gps receiver??? [23:27] <erUSUL> !find gps [23:27] <ubottu> Found: fso-gpsd, geoclue-gpsd, gnat-gps, gnat-gps-doc, gpsbabel (and 27 others) [23:27] <ardchoil1e> Gibson: I found some good Linux classes at my local community college, you might find some there [23:27] <MTec007> ardchoil1e, thats just the command the site told me to use so i didnt change it for simplicity [23:28] <`mOOse`> Gibson: give the google a whirl - I know it's cliche to tell you that, but in this particular case, it's really the best resource you're going to find - the top hits are all good sites, and then from there you can refine your needs as they come up [23:28] <D3RGPS31> How can I upgrade to gnome 2.28 on jaunty :x [23:28] <ardchoil1e> MTec007: ok [23:28] <newser> erUSUL, thanks [23:28] <erUSUL> D3RGPS31: going to karmic [23:28] <ardchoil1e> D3RGPS31: you'll have to compile it or find a PPA for gnome 2.28 on jaunty [23:28] <erUSUL> !upgrade | D3RGPS31 [23:28] <ubottu> D3RGPS31: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [23:28] <a> Gibson: if you want to use ubuntu without all that nerd stuff that np, ubuntu can be as easy as windows (sometimes even more) [23:28] <D3RGPS31> erUSUL: karmic doesn't agree with my video card :x [23:29] <LjL> newser: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Making_Tracks_with_Homebrew-ware#Linux [23:29] <ardchoil1e> D3RGPS31: There's probably a way to fix that, why ot seek support here for your vid card in karmic? [23:29] <`mOOse`> there's a LOT of nerdiness built into linux, and there are some jewel blogs out there - they're millions of them, and eventually you'll discover the ones that fit your learning style the best [23:29] <Bondy> Gibson give this site a look just what your looking for but online http://www.linux.org/lessons/ [23:29] <Sattvic> MTec007: don't know - I had problems with my upgrade today, but it was my video card, not my keyboard. Sorry I cannot help [23:29] <LjL> newser: virtually all the listed programs should be available straight in the repositories, so you can install them with "sudo apt-get install <packagename>" [23:29] <MTec007> Sattvic, thats alright, i appriciate the help [23:29] <erUSUL> D3RGPS31: sorry to hear that; ardchoil1e is right, fixin the gfx card in karmix is probably easier than getting g2.28 for jaunty [23:30] <Gibson> i have a super basic question. [23:30] <mengu> hi. my top and bottom panels are visible [23:30] <mengu> *invisible [23:30] <D3RGPS31> erUSUL: no way so far :c [23:30] <mengu> just happened now [23:30] <Gibson> why do all my message pop ups disappear when i scroll my mouse over them? [23:30] <`mOOse`> what msg popups? [23:30] <maco> Gibson: in case you want to click something behind them [23:30] <`mOOse`> lol [23:30] <ardchoil1e> Gibson: to give you a view of what's under them [23:30] <maco> `mOOse`: notify osd [23:30] <`mOOse`> oh [23:30] <`mOOse`> haha - ok [23:31] <michelinux_> Gibson, that is actually a feature: those popups are not intended to make you do an action. Are just information, and they disappear to let you interact with what is under them. [23:31] <alankila> it's just annoying that you can't dismiss the popups [23:31] <Gibson> k, but someone just messaged me and it popped up there and disppeared [23:31] <a> `mOOse`, I know a terminal doesn't have popups :P [23:31] <MTec007> alankila, yeah:) [23:31] <dath> hi [23:31] <maco> Gibson: its just a notification. there should be an IM window somewhere i think...mayb ehave to click on empathy's icon? [23:32] <dath> how can i use the compiz animations add-on [23:32] <`mOOse`> I use kvirc (I'm assuming she means irc popups?) so I don't have that trouble [23:32] <maco> Gibson: there should be an envelope icon in the panel [23:32] <Gibson> ok i got it. [23:32] <dath> i activated it but i cant select them at the windows animations [23:32] <`mOOse`> unless I'm in another pgm and someone says my nick [23:32] <D3RGPS31> How can i slip video drivers to be used on testing a livecd? [23:32] <rootlinuxusr> php keeps download php files; how can i make sure it's parsing? [23:32] <`mOOse`> if she's talking about empathy, I dunno cause no one ever IM's me anymore (yay!!!) [23:32] <erUSUL> !lamp | rootlinuxusr there is a troubleshotting guide in this wiki [23:32] <ubottu> rootlinuxusr there is a troubleshotting guide in this wiki: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [23:33] <ardchoil1e> Gibson: I highly recommend readin this page as well: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:34] <Gibson> holy crap. thanks for all the reading material guys. appreciate it.

How do I re-enable Compiz like it was after installing CCSM? [23:45] <Plaid> Ok, got another question; I have installed LAMP. And added a group called developer, and I'd added my user to this group. What I tried to do was setting this newly added group as primary group of the user. So that when I ftp and/or do something, there wont be a permission problem [23:46] <rethus1> erUSUL: rsync ../en_old/* ./ --ignore-existing -R this give me an error rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 77 bytes to socket [receiver]: Broken pipe (32) [23:46] <commx> is there a way to attach a second disk to a mdraid-detected fakeraid? It actually detects my fakeraid, but it just uses one disk - and because of it, I can't access the data on the raid. [23:46] <soreau> burkmat: Selecting Normal will only set different default settings, as does Extra. The way to turn it off is selecting None.

Docky looks extremely promising but it's still very young and needs lots of maturing to remove all the horrible bugs and stuff.

[23:59] <EastDallas> igie: gordonjcp was a troll [23:59] <tbrock_> hey guys I know that this isn't the place to ask but the guys in #xbmc don't have much to say abou it: I installed xmbc-live, which is ubuntu stripped down to just run xbmc, and it usually boots straight into xbmc. long story short, it no longer starts x automatically, if i login and start x it works and launches xbmc but when i boot it just drops straight to console [23:59] <igie> EastDallas: thanks [23:59] <tbrock_> any ideas on what i could look at to figure out why [23:59] <dtork> Gibson: no, selecting previous versions in the grub menu will still result in a halt, just at a different point in the startup
