[00:00] i edited songs on my ipod from rhythmbox and when i use the ipod it says no songs but when i connect it rhythmbox can still see them. any ideas? [00:00] igie: try connecting via ip address instead of computer name. ' [00:00] dtork: i don't know man. i'd say try getting on another machine and burning a disk and booting from that [00:00] EastDallas: how do I do that? [00:00] I have ubuntu server and installed another HDD w/Windows on it. For some reason Ubuntu does not see it... what's the problem? [00:00] I've got imbeded youtbue videos on a blog. They flicker when I watch them on Ubunut. They don't in windows. Is there a fix for this? [00:00] Gibson: so you're suggesting a fresh install? [00:00] igie: Go to places and choose any folder [00:01] dtork: if it were me I would, but I started linux like, this afternoon. [00:01] EastDallas: then what? [00:01] igie: then type smb://ipaddress [00:01] dtork: but those files can go funny on download sometimes. then hang up at a particular spot and never finish anything [00:01] Gibson: oh, I see. Well if you have any ideas like editing the grub menu, I'm able to access my filesystem partition from a live cd now [00:02] I just don't know what kind of editing that should be [00:02] i reinstalled ubuntu with wubi again i have a dual boot set up can i increase ubuntu's space with gparted? [00:02] tony_: yes [00:02] igie: did that work? [00:02] where would I find the previous version of ubuntu? [00:02] any url? [00:03] usb-creator isn't working... I booted from a different liveusb distro just fine, but my 9.10 server install does not... how do I get ubuntu working on my nettop? [00:03] EastDallas: where do I type smb://ipaddress ? [00:03] tony_: you can even copy and paste partitions [00:03] good morning everyone :) [00:03] anigma: jaunty? [00:03] iceroot: indeed. [00:03] igie: you might have to click the pencil button in the toolbar to get the space to type it.

[00:04] l3ns: cat /proc/cpuinfo [00:04] l3ns: better --> cat /proc/cpuinfo [00:04] can i increase ubuntu's size without crashing vista? [00:04] l3ns: or the "x86info" program [00:04] Gibson: yeah, you've got a point. But that wouldn't explain why I can't start up from the other boot options [00:04] tony_: yes but make a backup [00:04] tony u can shrink the volume in windows to make room for ubuntu but i like making room using gedit. [00:04] EastDallas: How do i find out the ip address of the computers on my wireless network?

[00:05] igie: go to the other machine and type ifconfig in a terminal [00:05] i should run defrag under vista then move partition in gparted? [00:05] EastDallas: is there a way to do it from this machine ? [00:06] igie: well, I guess you should do it on both so you'll know both ip addresses. [00:06] igie: do you know how to ssh? [00:06] iceroot, erUSUL the result is here: http://pastebin.com/m6ab1a13 [00:06] tony_: seems like a plan [00:06] EastDallas: nope [00:06] blackest_knight1: I have Ubuntu desktop already, but it is installed in an encrypted partition, and I want it to not be encrypted [00:06] igie: You could log in to your router and look at the DHCP list. Know how to do that? [00:06] EastDallas: not even sure what ssh is [00:06] l3ns: yes, pentium 4 one core [00:06] l3ns: so; what do you want me to do with that info ? [00:06] igie: how many computers on your network? [00:07] EastDallas: ya, i can do that [00:07] Hello, what is the linux equivalent to Windows' chkdsk? I have an SSD losing data and I want to check it for errors, but the partition on it is NTFS (it is a Windows 64 install). However, my Ubuntu partition is fine, so I figured I could fix Windows from Ubuntu. [00:07] iceroot, erUSUL is it 64 bit? [00:07] blackest_knight1: I will look into unetbootin [00:07] EastDallas: 5 machines, 2 running ubuntu [00:07] khelvan: fsck [00:07] igie: go ahead and try looking at the router [00:07] l3ns: yes [00:07] sounds easy enough any other steps besides back up, defrag and then move partition? [00:08] erUSUL: l3ns i dont see infos for amd64 [00:08] iceroot - Can you please assist me with how to run that properly? And doesn't it have problems with NTFS? [00:08] khelvan: dont know if it can handle ntfs, sorry [00:08] iceroot: the "lm" cpuflag means 64 bit capable (long mode) [00:08] erUSUL, iceroot , i installed 32 bit ubuntu on this machine cus I thought this was a 32 bit processor >.< [00:09] iceroot: l3ns line 18 flags in the list you have the lm flag == 64 bits [00:09] erUSUL: ah, good to know, thx [00:09] how do i change kde to normal ubuntu ? [00:09] right i have a query, i have ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop and i thought everything was running perfet until i ran system monitor. I get a box shaded in lines of color, screenshot can be seen at the link, any ideas what the problem could be? http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/2148/screenshotfp.png [00:09] erUSUL, iceroot , so I can install amd64 on this machine, yes? [00:09] l3ns: yes [00:09] l3ns: amd64 is also running on intel platforms [00:10] iceroot: l3ns « grep --color " lm " /proc/cpuinfo » [00:10] l3ns: yes you can [00:10] l3ns: depends on how much ram you have. if you have less then 4 GiB may not be worth the trouble [00:10] EastDallas: I can do it with the ip address [00:10] thanks everyone [00:10] There are too many questions about "does amd64 work on intel". *sigh* someone should rename the architecture to x86-64, or at least the ISO image ought to be named that way.

[00:11] EastDallas: why is that ? [00:11] alankila: give credit where credit is due. AMD designed the isa. it has the right to name it imho ;) [00:11] erUSUL, iceroot , yeah I have only 2 gb at the moment, that's why I was planning to update it to 4gb, then i heard about 32bits are not capable of 4gb rams so I checked back if I really have a 32proc [00:11] Watching videos fullscreen seem to be very laggy to me. Hardware drivers updated. Flash is installed as well... any tips? [00:11] alankila: yes but to late [00:11] dn4: you should try shooting at lower fps, what kind of camera are you using? [00:11] igie: We'll get it to work. [00:11] erUSUL: yes, but it's still not user friendly. [00:11] igie: gimme a sec [00:12] alankila: and amd dont like that idea i think .) [00:12] EastDallas: ok, thanks [00:12] any one know of linux keyloger. I mean to run on my own machine. to keep track of all keys pressed ? [00:12] erUSUL, iceroot , but now thanks to you both I can freely update my ram to 4gb :) [00:12] right i have a query, i have ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop and i thought everything was running perfet until i ran system monitor.

Just a small question about the latest Ubuntu release. /tmp was mounted as tmpfs in some older releases, but it seems like its an ordinary folder nowadays. Is there a specific reason for that? [00:13] erUSUL, why does a 64bit proc needs a minimum of 4gb ram? [00:14] crazy one believe that is common. do not know how to avoid it maybe someone does. [00:14] whats the best torrent prog for ubuntu? [00:14] l3ns: it does not need a minimum (i use it with 3 GiB). [00:14] bishop, when you say common, u mean its a bug? [00:15] h4f: Google. It is very likely that any keyloggers softwares aren't part of the repo because it post a security risk to users. (FROWNING UPON ON YOU). [00:15] yes [00:15] l3ns: the argument was more about that 32-bit systems are limited to using about 3 GB of memory and need to do various tricks past that. So that is one of the best reasons to use 64-bit system. [00:15] erUSUL, hm. but do you know the reason why 32bit procs cam only handle <4gb ram? [00:15] l3ns: but if you have the system already installed there is no point in reinstalling it just becouse you can. with 4 GiB or more you need 64 bits for the system to use all ram [00:15] igie: open a terminal and type sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf [00:15] bishop, ok i will look around see if i can find out [00:15] whats the best torrent prog for ubuntu?

[00:18] legend2440, erUSUL why not go reinstall with a 64bit ubuntu?...i just downloaded it now... [00:18] thank you sir [00:18] l3ns: as far as I know the only advantage to installing ubuntu 64 would be a slight increase in performance for cpu intensive operations. for example encoding videos would be a bit faster [00:18] l3ns: do as you want. [00:18] erUSUL, are there any performance issues with 64bit ubuntu? [00:18] l3ns: there is little practical benefit, and some loss of compatibility, as 32 bits is still the mainstream system. [00:18] peepsalot: what grub version do you have ? [00:19] l3ns: no that i know of [00:19] l3ns: by all means give 64 bits a go, and if all goes well you don't notice anything being any different at all. [00:19] a, not sure, whichever comes default with 9.04 [00:19] igie: got it? [00:19] bak again [00:19] peepsalot: that's 1.xx [00:19] what file controls how X starts on boot [00:20] EastDallas: it should work now ? [00:20] and how could i see what is happening if this fails [00:20] l3ns: but chances are that the first thing you need to do is rip out the flash player in 64-bit ubuntu and replace that one with the alpha version at least. [00:20] peepsalot: that'll be a bit more complicated [00:20] actually the best would be a reinstall of ubuntu [00:20] igie: save it, and you'll need to restart samba [00:20] alankila, erUSUL legend2440 , I have a new hd, can I just install the 64bit ubuntu there, keeping my 32 bit intact on the old hd? [00:21] igie: in a terminal type /etc/init.d/samba restart [00:21] peepsalot: because rewriting grub config etc. from scretch is really hard [00:21] l3ns: yes. then you can just transfer the home folder and the conf files to the 64 bit install [00:21] after FIVE distribution upgrades, simply reinstalling Ubuntu solved a load of problems for me. [00:21] igie: we may have to do something else, but lets see if it works now [00:21] I assume the ubuntu livecd uses tmpfs, but the wikipedia page for tmpfs says that it can use a backing store swap space, How can it use swap space if the drives are not mounted? [00:21] I was one of those people who tried out Automatix back in the days of Feisty and broke stuff [00:22] LlamaZorz: it uses it if it's available. [00:22] erUSUL, what are conf files and where can I see them? [00:22] EastDallas: * Starting Samba daemons [fail] [00:22] sprung: shame on you then ;) [00:22] Watching videos fullscreen seem to be very laggy to me. Hardware drivers updated. Flash is installed as well... any tips? [00:22] !automatix [00:22] Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported, or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubottu WorksForMe » [00:22] alankila: So the drive needs to be mounted [00:22] WatchMan: jaunty with intel? [00:22] Feisty... yarrrrggg [00:22] erUSUL, shame on THEM for not warning anybody. [00:22] igie: try /etc/init.d/samba start [00:22] peepsalot: are you still there ? [00:23] EastDallas: Its taking a long time to open "Igie" ... now it says unable to mount location. [00:23] sprung: we (the ircers) warn everybody systematically ;) [00:23] but at least I can see it now. [00:23] can someone help? I use "lame audio.wav audio.mp3" and I get "Warning: Unsupported audio format"? [00:23] iceroot: intel yes. 9.01 karmic [00:23] LlamaZorz: yes, the swap needs to be enabled before tmpfs will use it. Even then it will only do the normal paging sort of activity with it, it doesn't by default write to swap. It's just a way to extend tmpfs size if physical memory is constrained. [00:23] igie: were you able to get samba started? === subzero2000_ is now known as subzero2000 [00:23] WatchMan: hm, the problem i was thinking about has been solved with karmic [00:23] a, yes [00:23] EastDallas: it failed again [00:23] * Starting Samba daemons [fail] [00:23] lsdluna: you are sure is a wav file ? try --> lame -r audio.wav audio.mp3 [00:24] iceroot, where can I look to find out what version I am using? [00:24] WatchMan: lsb_release -a [00:24] alankila: So if no swap partition is mounted then, it will never automount a partition labled swap [00:24] LlamaZorz: indeed not. [00:24] a, i guess i'll just do a fresh install of 9.10 [00:24] erUSUL: its worked thanks a lot [00:25] Peepsalot, that would be the best [00:25] lsdluna: no problem (the file is not a wav but raw cda) [00:25] * Stopping Samba daemons start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 2856: Operation not permitted [00:25] start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 2860: Operation not permitted [00:25] [ OK ] [00:25] * Starting Samba daemons [fail] [00:25] igie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:25] one more thing, can anyone guide me to how I can type in Chinese with the ChangJie method? [00:25] igie: give me a second [00:25] sorry about the flooding [00:26] igie, you need sudo [00:27] anto9us: thanks... it worked [00:27] thanks anto9us...duh [00:27] EastDallas: I got it restarted [00:27] haha.. ya, my bad [00:27] now try connecting to the remote machine [00:29] igie: are you able to connect by name now? [00:30] Sorry to ask about Conky here, but no one is answering in the #conky channel. I need to know if it's possible to add clickable links to conky. I have a few RSS feeds imported, and I would like to be able to click on them and have my browser open the link. Cany ANY text be linked to a url in conky? [00:31] EastDallas: I can't even see the workgroup now :( [00:31] EastDallas: nor can I connect by IP, I was able to 2 seconds ago... :( [00:31] Can anyone lend me a hand with troubleshooting wireless? It dies on suspend and I can't get it back. Karmic NBR, EEE 1008ha [00:31] EastDallas: Maybe I need to restart?

[00:34] how can I make a program start at system startup under my uid? [00:34] igie: any luck connecting by ip or name now? [00:34] EastDallas: Ok I can see the network place, but to open "Igie" its taking a long time [00:35] lsdluna: what does « file file.wav » says ? [00:35] is there a command line to switch to different dns server? I'm trying to help someone change theirs and they can't figure out how to do it in gui... [00:35] igie: is it opening?

[00:35] Where can I find out what the different highlights in gnome-terminal mean? [00:36] igie: open your smb. conf (sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf) again and look for this line. name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast. Change it to name resolve order = wins lmhosts host bcast. Put wins in front. [00:37] EastDallas: unable to mount location, failed to retrieve share list from server.

I'm tired of the standard configuration of things like shells and other utilities, and I'd like to write my .zshrc and the like from total scratch. === syntax is now known as Guest87563 [00:41] EastDallas: I changed it on both.. [00:41] EastDallas: still taking forever to open. [00:41] Mefached: zshrc is in your home and you can do whatever you want with it [00:42] igie: you'll need to restart samba on both machines: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [00:42] timboy_: if you want to append use "tee --append" [00:42] how do I change the values listed in "xinput list"? === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [00:43] erUSUL: Yes, but a lot of things come with obvious configuration already done, like mrxvt. I want my applications to install completely cleanly of any Ubuntu configuration.

[00:47] EastDallas: Unable to mount location... grrr... [00:47] I know the difference between 32 and 64, I just never understood those identifiers on their own. [00:47] Typh, 32bit will work on all processors 64 will only work on 64 capable processor [00:47] 32 will only recognize 3GB of ram and 64 will go over 3GB ram [00:48] Typh, ^^^ [00:48] erUSUL, thx [00:48] hi, earlier today I installed xubuntu on an usb stick after a shutdown a few minutes ago, the stick wont boot anymore and I get: Not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0) what happened here?

[00:49] lsdluna: not sure then. i've never tried working with asf files myself [00:49] ardchoil1e, it is possible to compile kernel to allow for 3+ but not as easy as 64 install [00:49] timboy_: Ah, good to know [00:50] DaZ: But PAE doesn't normally help if you have 4GiB of RAM -- you should still lose the same amount of RAM between 3GiB and 4GiB.

[00:50] legend2440: yeah I followed the pdf you mentioned earlier for ripping mms audio... only just realised its .asf not .wav... i wonder if I've done something wrong on the ripping procedure [00:51] EastDallas: nope, unable to mount [00:52] lsdluna: maybe i used to download mms streams as wave files and then convert to mp3 so i could use them on my mp3 player. but its been a while since i've don any of that [00:52] <`mOOse`> ubuntu - turn your machine completely off and then cold reboot - see if it works then [00:53] igie: open your smb.conf again, and change it from wins support = yes to wins support = true [00:53] legend2440: it is safe to assume that with lame installed, and the ubuntu-restricted-extras package installed I have the necessary tools and codecs right? Which means I'm just doing something wrong or missing at my end? === ninggeng2 is now known as ninggeng [00:54] lsdluna: well according to this you should have the codecs you need in ubuntu-restricted-extras http://www.ehow.com/how_5234211_convert-asf-mp-linux.html [00:54] I'm interested in building a mail server. I'm moderately familiar with qmail, but it sounds like exim is the MTA of choice for ubuntu? I need to be able to support SMTP Auth and SSL, and plan to set up webmail as well. I only use ubuntu server, so should I stick with qmail, or take a try with Exim? (This needs to be a toaster as well, multiple domains) [00:54] EastDallas: Could not display "smb://192.168.1.100" Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Mountpoint Already registered [00:54] SilverFox: I thought it was postfix, not exim [00:55] lsdluna: the wave file sounds good? [00:55] SilverFox: The Dovecot/Postfix combination is favoured by the Ubuntu Server Guide, which contains full instructions on creating such a mail system. [00:55] legend2440: yes I've been on that site too. The wav file sounds perfect. [00:56] wgrant: ok. I'll take a look at that. [00:56] Hello all were has grub been moved to? (9.10 64bit? [00:56] steven_Laptop: grub2 is available for all versions of 9.1- [00:56] *9.10 [00:56] igie, did you change the yes to true on both machines and restart samba? [00:56] :) [00:57] igie: restart samba on both machines? [00:57] lstarnes, how about xorg? [00:57] SilverFox: On Ubuntu 9.04 and later, installing the 'dovecot-postfix' will get you a working mail system, which you could easily configure to your needs. [00:57] how do i configure network connection after ubuntu is installed? [00:57] steven_Laptop: of course! === sharperguy2 is now known as sharperguy [00:57] steven_Laptop: why wouldn't xorg be ported to 64-bit? [00:57] is there a linux command that is similar to ipconfig -a? ipconfig -a gives you dns etc [00:58] lstarnes, how do I get it or were can I find Xorg [00:58] ifconfig -a [00:58] sorry [00:58] timboy_: DNS is application layer, hence exists in /etc/resolv.conf [00:58] hello, sorry if this question is answered elsewhere but I had difficulty finding it. Is there a good chance I'll be able to get Ubuntu Netbook Remix working on a ``Free Software only'' install? (Acer 150L) [00:58] steven_Laptop: it is installed by default in the desktop versions of ubuntu [00:58] "cat /etc/resolv.conf" is a good way of checking both static and dynamic DNS server IPs [00:58] steven_Laptop: if it isn't installed for you, install the xserver-xorg package usign apt-get [00:58] lsdluna: well you could try installing Audacity and open the wave file with that and then choose Save As and choose mp3 format [00:59] ninggeng: have you booted the installation and need to set a static IP? [00:59] legend2440: might work, i actually need Audacity to chop the mp3 up into manage-able parts too [00:59] lsdluna: yes Audacity will do that too [01:00] Xorg.conf = /etc/X11/xorg correct? not there [01:01] /etc/X11/ - there's no longer one these days really. [01:01] steven_Laptop: /etc/X11/xorg.conf has been unnecessary for a year or two now. [01:01] steven_Laptop: there can be a /etc/X11/xorg.conf though, but usually Xorg automatically configures itself using HAL and DBus [01:01] EastDallas: I made the changes, I can only connect via IP, not via name.. no success by name [01:02] igie: are you able to browse folders when you connect via ip? [01:02] I need a howto on getting xorg please [01:02] what OS steven_Laptop ? [01:03] or which ubuntu ver specifically? [01:03] steven_Laptop: You have X.org if you have a desktop installation of Ubuntu. [01:03] how can i stop the screen from turning black when watching a movie [01:03] 9.10 64bit [01:03] steven_Laptop: What are you trying to do? [01:03] there's a meta package called "ubuntu-desktop" you can "sudo apt-get install" if you want the whole desktop. [01:03] hello, I have a eeepc with multitouchpad and I just upgraded my system to 9.10, but now the touchpad does not have the same functionality as before. Anyone knows how can I restore the multitouch functionality? === yambob2 is now known as yambob [01:03] steven_Laptop: which edition did you install? [01:03] dath: disable or change the timeout for the screensaver [01:03] steven_Laptop: the server edition, the desktop edition, or the alternate cd? Or was it something else? [01:04] I need to back it up... nvidia has crashed every time I try to install it.. [01:04] EastDallas: yup, i can browse [01:04] daftykins: the installation is booted, and i don't mind being on a dynamic ip, apt-get update is showing cannot resolve xx errors [01:04] hi, how can i change permissions on my whole ntfs drive? [01:04] lstarnes, desktop [01:04] daftykins: so i'm assuming connection error [01:04] igie: ok, lets do this. in a terminal type sudo gedit /etc/hosts [01:04] ninggeng: ah, is it connected to a router sharing an internet connection? [01:04] steven_Laptop: then xorg should be installed on it [01:04] hey guys [01:04] steven_Laptop: You mean you need to back up your X.org configuration? [01:04] list [01:04] steven_Laptop: how much ram do you have and what card are you using? [01:05] daftyins: yes a switch to a switch then to a router [01:05] EastDallas: I did it, what am I looking for ? [01:05] ninggeng: ok, if you do "ifconfig" do you have correct IP information entered? have you also checked the DNS server IPs in your /etc/resolv.conf ? [01:05] i installed X in my ubuntu server and installed the binary nvidia driver to use SVIDEO but my xorg.conf is almost empty, it only has 2 blocks of settings. how can i regenerate it? [01:05] igie, try .local [01:05] hello, sorry if this question is answered elsewhere but I had [01:05] ninggeng: also does it fail if you try to ping google.com ? [01:05] difficulty finding it. Is there a good chance I'll be able to get [01:05] Ubuntu Netbook Remix working on a ``Free Software only'' install?

[01:06] ninggeng: yeah ok sounds like you don't have any DNS servers entered, is there anything in the file /etc/resolv.conf ? [01:06] igie: on the other machine, add the appropriate line for the machine you are on now (i.e. ipaddress Name) [01:06] lstarnes, I was going to conf. my own install with nvidia [01:06] hey [01:06] hello [01:06] igie, just add .local to the hostname [01:06] how to register [01:07] how to register [01:07] hi, anyone knows how to disable IPv6 DNS queries in a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 desktop i386 ?

[01:08] daftykins: yes, 192.168.0.100-254 [01:08] igie: btw...these ARE case sensitive, so I would suggest you use all lower case [01:08] ninggeng: on a terminal type: echo nameserver 192.168.0.1 > /etc/resolv.conf (where 0.1 you change to be your router's IP) [01:09] then try pinging google again [01:09] this tells it to ask your router for DNS queries [01:09] EastDallas: ok [01:09] !channel [01:09] igie: see if you can open by name [01:10] i've mounted my ntfs partition with umask 007, why is it the the permission "write" isn't there? [01:10] daftykins: did echo ns for 0.1 and 0.3 (router ip) but ping still nothing [01:10] EastDallas: Success :o) [01:11] EastDallas: now the proof of success will be if it works after i restart both machines... [01:11] daftykins: actually [01:11] EastDallas: brb with results :o) thanks :o) [01:11] igie: you'll probably want to give both of these computers static IPs [01:11] anyone have experince with ffserver?

Does anyone have any idea about the success rate of free siftware only installs using ubuntu netbook remix [01:11] daftykins: writing it with echo gave me a -bash ** permission denied [01:11] daftykins: trying su [01:11] ninggeng: ok it might be different, use a text editor and edit /etc/resolv.conf and try using the OpenDNS IPs, so you'd have the following content in /etc/resolv.conf ... http://pastebin.com/d2374783f [01:11] EastDallas: ok [01:12] ah yeah sorry you probably do need permissions ninggeng [01:12] EastDallas: how can I give them static addresses?

[01:12] hello, just install ekiga, how can use it as replacement to hardware IP phone. im currently connected to our office now [01:12] igie no-ip man [01:12] Igie: judging by the fact that one machines IP is 192.168.1.100, you can probably just choose anything from 192.168.1.2-99 [01:12] what configuration to make it work? [01:12] thanks. === lexsoOr is now known as a [01:12] hi, all of a sudden, after a reboot, karmic fails to load the X server as usual. I get in some log the error "(EE) Failed to load module "i810" (module does not exist, 0)" [01:13] igie: you'll need to change that hosts file to match the new ips [01:13] Pedrolito: at terminal try typing "sudo modprobe i810" [01:13] igie no-ip.com sign up and download ubuntu from manager [01:13] hello, how can I enable the multitouchpad feature?

I removed GRUB, I thought, but it is still showing up when I try to use my Boot Camp parition in Parallels [01:15] hello [01:15] Igie: if it's a wired connection go to the IPv4 tab choose 'Manual' from the drop down. [01:15] How/what can I do to ensure that GRUB is gone completely? === a is now known as a_aka_lexsoOr [01:15] colemickens: which windows? [01:15] hello, anyone knows how can I enable the multitouchpad feature on ubuntu 9.10? I have an eeepc 904ha [01:15] I already ran Window's fixboot, fixmbr. daftykins, Windows 7.

But i'm sure it will now [01:17] ninggeng: ah so your network is actually 192.168.122.x ? or at least ubuntu thinks so [01:17] ninggeng: are you 100% sure it's 192.168.0.x ? === a_aka_lexsoOr is now known as a [01:17] lsdluna: ok very good persistence paid off [01:17] daftykins: hmm [01:17] legend2440: yes thanks for the initial help ^.^ [01:18] daftykins the tools? I actually ran bootrec /fixboot and bootrec /fixmbr, which are appropriate (and only available in) the Windows 7 Recovery Console [01:18] lsdluna: your welcome [01:18] daftykins: yes, it shouldnt be 122 tho [01:18] ah right, that's the equivalent of what i would've done then colemickens - i'm surprised it's still there [01:18] Igie: (you could make one 50 and the other 51) the address is going to be 192.168.2.50, netmask is 255.255.255.0 and gateway is your router's IP address. For DNS you should be able to get the addresses from your router. Just enter them both separated by a comma. Sometimes you can just enter your router's IP for the DNS. Depends on the router [01:18] ninggeng: what's the IP on the comp you're on now then? [01:18] daftykins, Windows 7 boots fine (and without GRUB) when I restart my computer. When I try to load parallels and have it boot from the bootcamp partition, it acts like its going to boot GRUB, which I don't understand. [01:18] !multitouchpad [01:19] daftykins, I'm shocked to be honest. I think I'm going to remake the VM, but I can't imagine that its just pulling that out of no where [01:19] In ubuntu, what is the standard procedure to get a mouse to work in CLI? [01:19] daftykins: one i'm on is 192.168.0.27 sitting on the same switch [01:19] ah ok [01:19] Hi [01:20] Igie: The IP address should be 192.168.1.50, not a TWO.

(something like "no-ipv6" in /etc/resolv.conf ?!!) [01:20] aman: what's the prob ? [01:20] Guh... this is a bit aggrivating.

Unfortunately, still haven't figured out how to fix grub2 from freezing on me. [01:21] I want to listen to my voice while using the mic [01:21] aman: what is you sys ? [01:21] Err.. through the grub2 webpage. [01:21] ubuntu 9.10 [01:21] daftykins: complete no feedback [01:21] I need help with applying gtk themes. When I try to enable them only the color scheme seems to apply except in root applications, which are fully themed. I know why the opposite would happen but I have no clue why only root applications work. [01:22] so, I have been able to boot the ubuntu installer in xen 3.4.1, but it doesn't include the xen-netfront module so there is no network interface [01:22] the mic works fine and I can use the sound recorder fine [01:22] using http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/ [01:22] ninggeng: cool, now do "sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.x netmask 255.255.255.0" where "x" is an IP you're not already using on the network [01:22] sorry, to whomever who answered me, the low resolution xsever that is currently running on my computer crashed [01:22] a: I just need to get the mic to work "live" [01:22] I'm installing Return to Castle Wolfenstein for Linux following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games/Native/ReturnToCastleWolfenstein and am at the point of executing the file ./wolf-linux-1.41b.x86.run, but get the following message: '/bin/sh: Can't open ./wolf-linux-1.41b.x86.run' and I'm wondering if I've done something wrong, have a corrupted file, or what... [01:22] ninggeng: then do "sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.x" where x is the IP of your gateway to the Internet, so the router IP [01:22] I can only get -around- the log in problem, but trying to get into Ubuntu is still longer than it should be. [01:22] I did sudo modprobe i810, and it seems to work [01:22] is there an ubuntu installer that works with xen or should I just use debootstrap? [01:23] Pedrolito: cool :) [01:23] daftykins, but, I thought the driver for my chipset was supposed to be the intel one [01:23] i810 means intel 810 chipset [01:24] oh ok [01:24] what should I do now to reboot using the normal driver? === Jacob_ is now known as Zeppelin [01:24] it should be permanently set now [01:24] anyone know how I can get my sources.list file back after seeing this: Unable to read /etc/apt/sources.list? [01:25] so if I reboot it should work fine? [01:25] Pedrolito: you can start X with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" [01:25] ok let me try this [01:25] or reboot yeah :) [01:25] daftykins: SIOCADDRT: No such process [01:25] Guh, so is there a way to fix the GRUB2 freeze-up? I mean, all what I've seen is stuff being installed from Windows, but there isn't anything that really gives me any indication of 'a -fresh- copy of Ubuntu 9.10'.

[01:28] the drive i am trying to access is an ubuntu machine [01:28] dtork: in terminal try gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [01:28] i set the permissions and shared the drive through nautilus but my other computer can't see it [01:28] can anyone help?

[01:30] i boot off the usb stick, works grea [01:30] great* [01:30] hello. i would like to access a network drive from ubuntu but I can't [01:30] tbrock_: what is you prob ? [01:30] ah, might be -add ninggeng , sorry i can't boot a Linux machine to 100% proof my commands :D [01:30] daftykins, that did not work. The screen flickered a few times, and then I went back to the same situation [01:30] however, i installed it, ran apt-get update/upgrade and installed nvidia drivers, now xbmc only starts when i type startx [01:30] the drive i am trying to access is an ubuntu machine [01:30] it use to start automatically [01:30] i set the permissions and shared the drive through nautilus but my other computer can't see it [01:30] can anyone help? [01:30] now it just has a black screen or console [01:31] Pedrolito: ok maybe there's a more suitable driver for your graphics, whatever it is [01:31] any ideas? [01:31] daftykins: ahaha sorry i'm not experienced enough to know the difference [01:31] tbrock_: yeah, i installed on one PC then ran it on another [01:31] Hi all! Is there a linux tool for reading Windows Vista event logs? [01:31] tbrock_: because my intended test machine refused to boot my CD-R ;/ did you do the same? [01:31] Doesn't Ubuntu have a 64-bit download? [01:31] is there a quick way i can alter the ID3tags of an mp3 via terminal i.e the title, artist, album? [01:31] daftykins, what I don't understand is that my system has been working fine for a couple months, and then , all of a sudden, I rebooted today and I got this [01:31] no booting works [01:31] everything is fine [01:32] Anyone know why a machine would prompt for a password for SSH when it should use a key, but only when it tries to SSH to itself? SSH to other machines works fine and authorized_keys is correct. It just prompts for a password when SSHing to itself. [01:32] except for the fact that xbmc won't start on boot [01:32] i can't figure out why [01:32] tbrock_: you xorg server is broken [01:32] i would think so [01:32] Hey, I'm running ubuntu server. Is it possible to get the system->administration->Language Support app [01:32] a: no that's inapplicable to XBMC on it [01:32] but it works when i login and type start x [01:32] What package do I have to install for that [01:32] tbrock_: give me one second [01:32] ok [01:32] daftykins: sudo route -add default gw xxxxx gives "invalid option -- 'a' , 'd', 'd' [01:32] is it possible that the x server that gets started on boot is different than the one that starts when i type startx [01:32] Pedrolito, It's possible for an automatic update to foul up things. [01:33] ? [01:33] tbrock_: recover a xorg conf backup ? [01:33] ah ok ninggeng sorry i must be remembering wrong [01:33] lsdluna: not sure about cli but easytag is good its in synaptic [01:33] LjL thank you for your help [01:33] ninggeng: get rid of the dash before the add [01:33] legend2440: thanks will get that right away [01:33] a: please, none of your suggestions are appropriate for XBMC live [01:33] a: dod that [01:33] daftykins, the only possibly sensitive package that was updated since the previous working reboot is upstart [01:33] daftykins, is there a way to downgrade it? [01:33] Pedrolito: sorry i've no idea then, your issue is beyond me [01:33] Having usb device (specialized) permissions issue on 9.10 x86 32bit. Can interact with via sudo, but not as regular user. [01:34] how can i see what is trying to start x on bootup [01:34] ?

[01:34] how is that different than me typing startx [01:34] cause that works great [01:34] does it use another type of xorg? [01:34] or xorg.conf? [01:34] tbrock_: http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?s=f8122f4fd59a98a8e68d6a71d98662fb&t=62341 [01:34] tbrock_: no by default, gdm starts x [01:35] there is no GDM on XBMC live because there is no login process (: [01:35] EastDallas: sorry i had to do something real quick [01:35] can someone do me a huge favor, go to edit menus, and look at what application "Language Support" is under system->administration [01:35] It would give me something to google at least === ari_stress is now known as pendekar_tanpa_n [01:35] EastDallas: So what do i need to put in the DNS Server field? [01:35] dont know what package i need to install to get that app === pendekar_tanpa_n is now known as pendekar_sadis [01:36] igie: no problem...gave me chance 2 fix some dinner :) [01:36] hi [01:36] i've got a problem [01:36] EastDallas: perfect [01:36] igie: get all my instrux? [01:36] df00zzzz: /usr/bin/gnome-language-selector [01:36] df00zzzz, mine shows /usr/bin/gnome-language-selector [01:36] Thanks guys! [01:36] EastDallas: yup [01:36] who has knowledge of JACK and MIDI? [01:37] ninggeng: what is in your /etc/network/interfaces file for eth0? any references? [01:37] hey everyone, is it possible to give a program root permission. I want the program to be able to shutdown the computer without asking me, is that possible? [01:37] Thanks, I found the package [01:37] igie: I screwed up that ip at first. make sure you use a 1 instead of a two. 192.168.1.50 [01:37] Gdiz, run it with sudo [01:37] gdiz: you need to add it to the sudoers file, i've no idea where or how, but i'm pretty sure that's what you want to do :) [01:37] daftykins: that look shelpful [01:38] EastDallas: I did, how about the DNS server field, what goes there? the ip? [01:38] who knows about jack and can help me with midi connection? [01:38] daftykins: auto lo , iface lo inet loopback [01:38] Hey all [01:38] igie: you should be able to get the ip addresses of your dns servers from your router's status page. [01:39] Ok, found it. [01:39] daftykins, got it...i'll go looking [01:39] EastDallas do you need a static ip help/dns/domain? [01:39] hi, guys. does anyone else here use the chess database 'jose'? [01:40] berrybarry: I'm walking him through setting static IP [01:40] ninggeng: ah, add the extra lines "auto eth0" then "iface eth0 inet dhcp" below it [01:40] then reboot === LinuxMercedes_ is now known as LinuxMercedes [01:40] ok [01:41] EastDallas have him go set up account at no-ip.com and then install no-ip2 under sPM [01:41] igie: enter this command to get your dns ips: cat /etc/resolv.conf [01:41] EastDallas thats all simple [01:42] berrybarry: he just needs static ips so host names will resolve correctly on the local network. [01:42] net [01:43] EastDallas whats services is he looking to install? [01:43] berrybarry: he's not installing any services, he just wants to access his samba shares using host names instead of ips. [01:43] berrybarry: wins wasn't cooperating [01:44] hi all [01:44] Hi everybody. I need to understand USB device permissions for 9.10. Any links? [01:44] how can i add vpn connection [01:44] x_: you need to install a VPN provider app, do "apt-cache search vpn" for plugins to network manager [01:44] daftykins: YES!! ping google success [01:44] berrybarry: so he just added the info to his hosts files, and I thought static ips was probably the safest way to make sure he didn't have to do it again. [01:45] x_: "network-manager-openvpn" is an example package [01:45] EastDallas I would help him make a ftp.... so easy :) [01:45] ninggeng: cool :) sorry i went such a long way about it, pretty tired here XD [01:45] daftykins: so it was just the two lines from etc/network/interface that was missing? [01:45] EastDallas: ok so that didn't work [01:45] to have DHCP running yeah ninggeng [01:45] daftykins: your help is greatly appreciated [01:45] by the way is it a desktop ubuntu install? [01:46] no server [01:46] igie: what do you mean it didn't work? [01:46] EastDallas: i got disconnected from the net all together [01:46] now i'm wishing i had GUI [01:46] ninggeng: ah ok cool, because specifying an interface in the interfaces file with a desktop prevents network manager working, just something worth bearing in mind [01:46] EastDallas is this samba your trying to do? [01:46] ninggeng: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" ;) [01:47] daftykins: hmm [01:47] Hrm. [01:47] there's an echo in here ;) [01:47] EastDallas: the ip and gateway and net mask... do i get those from the status tab in my router ? [01:47] well, everything should work fine with the dynamic IPs, but at some point they might change, and you'll have to go back and edit your hosts file again with the new IP addresses [01:47] I'm trying to get 1366x768 but don't know how. Can anyone help me/ [01:47] ? [01:47] Hah. [01:47] how do i create a user with the same priveliges as the user created during installation? [01:47] I have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file yet. [01:47] I'm just fiddling with GRUB2, which is pissing me off with the loading. [01:47] igie: The IP is whatever you want it to be as long as it starts 192.168.1. [01:47] Anyone? [01:47] Reading through these files, I am still not coming up with any way to -fix- the problem. [01:48] igie: the last number needs to be between 2 and 99 [01:48] igie the mask is 255.255.255.0 [01:48] And I am getting the feeling that I may have to downgrade it to 9.08. [01:48] igie: the gateway is your router's ip address (probably 192.168.1.1) [01:48] EastDallas: my Static DNS1: in the router is 192.168.1.100 [01:48] does that matter? [01:49] daftykins: is ubuntu-desktop really a package? [01:49] igie: what ip address to you type in to access your router? [01:49] 192.168.1.1 [01:49] I have Apache running. What does it mean that I do not have the file /var/run/httpd.pid? [01:49] ninggeng: yeah it's a meta package that installs everything needed for the desktop. if i were you i'd run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" first though [01:49] igie: ok, that's your gateway [01:49] this machine i'm on now is .1.100 [01:49] daftykins: just did sudo apt-get update and its running [01:50] igie: are all of the other machines over 100? [01:50] daftykins: cool [01:50] ninggeng: cool :) right i must get to bed, almost 2am :) enjoy! [01:50] soopos #apache [01:50] bye for now all o/ [01:50] EastDallas: let me check [01:50] igie: you can get the dns server ips by opening a terminal and typing: cat /etc/resolv.conf [01:50] bye [01:50] igie: forget what I said about finding the dns on your router's status page just use: cat /etc/resolv.conf [01:51] how do i make a user account with the proper priveliges? [01:51] EastDallas: yes they are all above 100 [01:51] igie, then you should be able to choose any number above 1 and below 100 for your static ips. I use 10-20 for mine. [01:52] i just installed ekiga and how can configure to make local calls? [01:52] and as replacement for IP Phone (hardware) [01:52] thanks [01:53] EastDallas: what should I put in DNS Servers: and Search Domains: ?? [01:53] helluvaCSmajor: desktop? If so, System->Administration->Users and Groups, then Add User, select Profile: Administrator [01:54] hi Does matter if im going to install ubuntu on primary or logical partition i mean should be ubuntu installed only on primary disk ? [01:54] i did that, but when i go to users and groups under the new user, they get an error that they do not have access [01:55] Is there such thing as "themes" for terminal? [01:55] helluvaCSmajor: $ grep admin /etc/group and see whether the new user is listed. [01:56] hey, I've tried installing skype from http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/choose/ but In the package installer i get a status message saying wrong architecture. [01:56] yes, that user is listed [01:56] The download does say for hardy , not karmic which I am using but does that make such a difference [01:56] how can I change console resolution? neither vga option seems to work. [01:56] helluvaCSmajor: OK, so what doesn't work? [01:56] users and groups gives an error [01:57] i am trying to reproduce the error, one sec [01:58] it says, you are not allowed to access the system configuration [01:58] Is there such thing as themes for terminal to change the look of it? [01:58] helluvaCSmajor: This is logged in as the first user, or the newly setup one? [01:58] so can I install the installer on a USB drive, and have it be usable as both a fully featured, updatable, with nvidia drivers, etc. install, but also retain the installer and it's full functionality ? [01:59] Guys is there a better IM system than pidgin? it doesnt even add new buddies when i ask it too lol [01:59] the new user, the original user can access it just fine [01:59] the original must then unlock, but this error is before the window even shows up [01:59] hi, can anyone tell me which ports should i open for use the webcam with aMSN? [01:59] digitalaxis: try emesene [02:00] helluvaCSmajor: no idea, but perhaps look at /etc/group carefully. Perhaps you need to add the new user to some of the groups. [02:00] the new user is in both groups listed [02:01] Computer janitor wants to remove "linux-headers-2.6.31-14" and "linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic," why? [02:01] helluvaCSmajor, have you tried chmod g=rw yet ? [02:01] please, can anyone tell me which ports should i open for use the webcam with aMSN? [02:01] no [02:01] how can I change console resolution? neither vga option seems to work. vga=ask and any vga=0x... is 'deprecated'. [02:01] on any file? [02:01] helluvaCSmajor, on whichever file you're having issues with. [02:01] can someone link me to a better blu-ray guide then https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD [02:01] not sure which file, it is the users and groups menu option in the system menu [02:01] it doesnt explain bluray well at all [02:01] helluvaCSmajor, if that works, then set your umask or umode accordingly. [02:01] helluvaCSmajor: Yes, but there are lots of groups in /etc/group. I'm listed in 16 groups. [02:02] helluvaCSmajor: perhaps the new user has to be a member of some obscure group. [02:03] mine just lists two [02:04] lets say i install the SML compiler and i dont know where ubuntu put it... how to find where it is installed?

Trying to setup DD-WRT and my local machine to allow outside ssh and http connections. Obviously, it works when connecting from localhost, but doesn't respond when I connect via my WAN IP. I've set up port forwarding in DD-WRT, don't believe I have a firewall in Linux running, and nothing in the log files stands out. Anyone have any advice on debugging the issue? [02:06] if its there , $sudo apitude install [02:06] trism dpkg -L stands for? [02:06] tritium, didnt know! [02:06] ll [02:07] fractalis: did you install openssh-server (or ssh) on the linux box you're trying to ssh to? [02:07] tritium: Yes, I installed openssh-server via apt-get. [02:07] HaskellLove: man dpkg [02:07] HaskellLove, stands for debian packaging list. [02:08] dpkg sml i do that and i get just options but...

[02:09] khelvan: fsck? [02:09] bigdavjoker: get a windows install disk, go into the repair console, use fixboot. [02:10] hi all [02:10] AyCarumba, some terminals have themes support [02:10] bigdavjoker: er, my bad ... use bootcfg. use the /scan then /rebuild switches. if that doesn't work, do a fixboot /mbr, then reinstall grub. [02:10] AyCarumba, mainly they just change colors and background [02:11] Chewie[], thanks [02:11] which msn client have a nice integration with webcam? [02:11] timber: amsn is closest, iirc [02:11] Where to find USB permissions docs? [02:11] gregb: what exactly do you mean? [02:11] lockd: web site? [02:12] Chewie[]: I have a USB device that I can access via sudo, but not as regular user. [02:12] I know there is another open source project besides unattended that will manage network installs of windows from Linux. Could anybody tell me the name of it? === fernando is now known as Guest88667 [02:12] Chewie[]: do you know which ports i have to open for the webcam works in a connection firewalled by a router?

(i do not want it to be on a separate X server.) [02:13] AyCarumba, gnome-terminal, the default Ubuntu terminal, has theme support already [02:14] timber: no. are you sending or receiving? [02:14] or used to [02:14] lockd: How do I get it? [02:14] Chewie[]: i'm trying to do both [02:14] timber: and neither work with amsn? alternatively: what have you tried?

[02:17] donavan_: does it give an error message? [02:17] Okay, that didn't work. [02:17] Hi, I have installed 9.04 and updates on netbook How do I make usb to reload including updates [02:17] AyCarumba, just start with one that's close to what you want, and tweak it [02:17] no errror msg and I have high speed internet [02:17] lockd: n/m. I found it in preferences. I just thought there was downloadable theme that change effects and color of the terminal [02:17] Man, GRUB2 is a nightmare. [02:18] Daifan: of course, it's GF 6800. when I used Fedora and 2.6.32, I used 0x346 mode. but now under 9.10 the vga option always results in 'deprecated' error [02:18] Thought the one method would fix the problem... that's... a negative. === fernando is now known as Guest18714 [02:18] Chewie[]: i don't know exactly, because i'm at my grandmother house, but the network is simple, there's only one router and my computer is the only one connected with it [02:18] Zenith88: Have you installed the drivers? [02:18] Chewie: I have a USB device that I can access via sudo, but not as regular user.

[02:18] df -h /dev/disk/by-uuid/whatever [02:19] doesn't help [02:19] Daifan: hard to tell, I just did an almost complete install of Ubuntu, choosing mostly default packages. [02:19] Ubuntu freezes up and becomes very sluggish for several seconds whenever my Wi-Fi connection drops. [02:19] timber: hmm. i'm not too sure then. i have usually had it "just work" for the 1-2 times i have used webcams with amsn. [02:19] i have a software raid 1 thats not coming up. showing md_d0 : inactive sdc[1](S) what does this mean [02:19] Daifan: the X have NV driver installed [02:19] Alexandra: is that filesystem mounted? i think df only works for mounted filesystems [02:20] Chewie[]: ok, thanks for the help [02:20] Hi mgolisch: yes it is mounted [02:20] Zenith88: You're using ubuntu desktop? There should be something in the System menu that will install drivers for you. [02:21] gregb: how do you access it? [02:21] Daifan: Using Ubuntu Studio. Which driver should I install? [02:21] Hi. I want to Boot ubuntu straight into command line without GUI. Is it possible? [02:22] Zenith88: Follow this tutorial right here. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nvidia [02:22] rendy: uninstall X [02:22] rendy: would installing debian without X do the job? [02:22] Rendy - yes, you have to stop X from starting. You can disable it while it is still installed [02:23] Chewie[]: I can lsusb and see device listed, but lsusb -s -v gives error: cannot read device status, Operation not permitted (1). If I repeat with sudo lsusb -s -v, it works. [02:23] Alexandra: what does it say? works well for me [02:23] Daifan: Nvidia 185 driver is installed and in use === eric is now known as Guest10597 [02:24] Alexandra: you may need to execute df as root === Guest10597 is now known as eric_2 [02:25] Alexandra: like using sudo [02:25] hello? [02:25] Zenith88: Did you run nvidia x server settings? [02:25] Daifan: how's X server relevant? [02:26] gregb: does it drop a file in /dev? can you add yourself to that file's group? [02:26] Zenith88: What are you trying to expand? The console windows? [02:26] gregb: if that is of no help, i'm afraid i can not be of help. [02:26] Daifan: I want to change text console resolution [02:27] I am running an XFCE environment w/ Xubuntu on a 800mhz processor w/ 512 mb ram and i was wondering if there was any way to accelerate my computer. [02:27] Zenith88: Ahh, I didn't understand your question then. Sorry mate. [02:27] eric_2: more RAM. [02:27] Chewie[]: Well thanks anyway. I'm confused about /dev/usb vs /proc/bus/usb (running 9.10 desktop x86 32 bit) [02:27] Daifan: not a problem [02:28] question: i have two monitors (one large good one, one bad old one) and i have them twinview'd together with the nvidia driver. i have compiz running and when i use desktop wall or desktop cube, it switches both displays together. is there a way to disable desktops on the secondary monitor only? (i do not want it to be on a separate X server.) [02:28] Chewie[] 512 is the max this motherboard on this laptop can handle [02:28] eric_2, try using a lighter wm like lxde or so. [02:29] i_is_broke what is lxde? [02:29] Chewie[]: It's not possible without a separate X session [02:29] eric_2: where are you noticing the largest slowdown? you may want to try finding a better hard drive (particularly if this is a 14th-hand well-used unit) [02:29] Zenith88: You can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst file to your specification if you want to change console size. [02:30] soreau: alrighty, thanks. [02:30] Daifan: is that "the way" with GRUB2? [02:30] Daifan: I know, that's what I tried. But the kernel throws an error for every vga option I tried, including the modes listed by vbeinfo [02:30] the hard drive is about 10gb and was made in 2002. The largest slowdown is with boot up and graphics [02:31] Chewie[] the hard drive is about 10gb and was made in 2002. The largest slowdown is with boot up and graphics [02:31] Zenith88: Did you update grub after changing the settings? [02:31] Chewie[] graphics card is on board a laptop and i cant change it. [02:31] Daifan: :) Of course, that's how I got the errors [02:32] eric2 [02:32] if u feal u are bottle necking on data transfer try installing linux on a thumb drive flas [02:32] scott2 ya [02:32] * ZachK_ is here and ready to assist those in need [02:32] eric_2: hmm. you can probably disable some services but i do not know which are safe to disable. [02:32] yeah flash drive is much faster the hard drive twice if not 3 times the speed [02:32] but storage size is costly [02:33] Scott__: agreed [02:33] 128gb is like 250 dollars australian [02:33] usb 1.0 is the problem though [02:33] Scott__: not worth sinking that into an old unit. [02:33] were we can get 1tb sata for like 80 dollars [02:33] Scott__: you need the space but if you can actually manage to get it on a flash drive it's pretty fast [02:33] that was my first answer in private chat to eric2 buy a new system [02:33] eric_2: http://www.menuetos.net/ [02:34] scott2 I do agree w/ that but this computer only has usb 1.0 and i think that is slower than on board hdd connection [02:34] just because smaller version of programs look like they boot faster doenst mean they are faster [02:34] oh ubuntu guru's, I'm new to ubuntu but not linux, can someone tell me how to disable (not remove) x upon startup? I have a laptop with only 256mb ram and console is all I need 99% of the time [02:35] eric_2: depending on your application menuetos or another tiny OS may work. and you are almost certainly correct that USB 1.0 will be slower.

[02:39] Frijolie: i did this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1308964 [02:39] Hi, there there a way to do a net install of Ubuntu with a USB thumb drive? [02:39] Izinucs, zomGreg_ , virtualbox... thanks for the pointers [02:39] Frijolie: and this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [02:39] Frijolie, what version of Ubuntu are you running? Frijolie for 9.10 : sudo restart udev for under 9.10 sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart [02:40] dsnyders: there's a version in the repos but it doesn't support usb.. and it's older.. use the one off their site. [02:40] night gents. [02:40] Frijolie, IIRC sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart will work on all stable versions of Ubuntu [02:40] rubin110: yes [02:40] Ah, nvm, solved it.. use "undefine" instead of "destroy" ;) [02:40] Frijolie, IIRC sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart will work on all stable versions of Ubuntu [02:41] Izinucs, thanks. [02:41] _myelin_ thank you :) [02:41] rubin110: you want to install Ubuntu onto a system via a usb drive? [02:41] ZachK_: Is there a wiki page somewhere on how to do this under ubuntu?

[02:42] rubin110: so you want to put the necessary Ubuntu files onto the drive so you can then boot from it? [02:42] Frijolie: any thoughts? [02:43] Yes, but I don't feel like downloading the whole install iso. [02:43] I'm new, and I will try to help peeps any way i can [02:43] rubin110: downloading the ISO is the safest way to ensure the proper setup [02:43] rubin110: trust me [02:43] use bit torrent to DL the iso [02:44] ZachK_: That's great, is there a way to do a net install with ubuntu? [02:44] If not then I'm just going to this under Debian. [02:44] via ubuntu or via windows? [02:44] rubin110: net install? elaborate please [02:44] So you have a tiny image. [02:44] !minimal | rubin110 [02:44] rubin110: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [02:44] jtaji: Yes, that's what I want. [02:44] jtaji: Thanks.

[02:49] worth a shot [02:49] rubin110, You wanted to install from a flash drive, didn't you? [02:49] dsnyders: No. [02:50] do u want to use the flash drive to USE ubuntu or INSTALL ubuntu? [02:50] I wanted a tiny image to boot off of that'll partition/format the drive and setup a network interface, then have the installer grab the rest of the wanted packages from the repo.

[02:58] sebsebseb:but chrome is FAST, and yes, I hate that browser that came out of redmond aswell [02:58] firefox has addblock [02:58] LGN: also Chrome right, but there's Chromeium as the open source version :) which Chrome is actsualley based on [02:58] its an extention of chrome aswell [02:59] chrome has a nice developer ui, but the web browser is still a bit buggy [02:59] !ot [02:59] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[03:02] ok [03:02] so can't you use Dropbox to put ur data up and move it down (or sync it) [03:03] Still trying to figure out how the dist upgrade process works. Does it preserve edited config files like the normal package upgrade, or upgrade those? [03:03] !clone | dfeuer [03:03] dfeuer: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [03:04] n8tuser, I was referring to files in /etc, et al. [03:05] I would prefer /not/ to preserve edits, because the reasons for some/most/all of those edits have gone away with distribution changes, [03:05] and I don't think I can find all the specific files I edited. [03:05] in what repo would it be possible to find Jesus? I've looked around but I seem to be unable to find it.

[03:08] johonny_buffalos question is not relevant [03:08] Hi all! Is there a linux tool for reading vista event files? [03:08] shhh [03:09] i need help unmounting my drive [03:09] Johnny_buffalo: sudo umount "destination" [03:09] dfeuer-> not to the minute details, [03:09] dfeuer: during upgrade, you will be asked whether you want to keep your version, or install the package maintainers version, (or inspect the differences) [03:09] hello all!!!! [03:10] jtaji, thank you much. That sounds ideal, but I couldn't find docs saying so. [03:10] i just installed AVG and now i cant find out where it is!!! [03:10] can some one kindly help me?? [03:10] shashike, check the file list? [03:10] dfeuer-> btw, you will find that doing a dist upgrade is problematic, preferable to do a fresh install [03:10] Oh? dist upgrades tend to fail? [03:10] shashike why are u installing avg [03:11] cozz i am paranoid of viruses!! [03:11] shashike: you appear to be using two spaces instead of one [03:11] and avclam is better [03:11] Maybe he's running an email server? [03:11] no [03:11] no [03:11] Maybe she's running an email server? [03:11] even if u ran an email server u dont run avg [03:11] dfeuer-> its problematic, people complain of things not working correctly after a dist upgrade, but a fresh install is much easier [03:11] i am not , but i came from windows u know [03:11] shashike: there are no major viruses that affect linux [03:11] dfeuer: I don't find upgrades problematic at all, sure there are always regressions [03:11] if i have a partition with ubuntu on it, and i just want to boot into it once more, can i use a ubuntu live cd to do that? [03:12] and if you hang in here you will see fails from every upgrade, but mostly it works [03:12] well i know windows viruses dont work on ubuntu [03:12] shashike: there are rootkits, but those are rarer than viruses are on windows and much easier to detect and stop. There are tools such as chkrootkit and rkhunter for detecting rootkits [03:12] shashike: there are no viruses so dont need a scanner. just need a scanner if using mail-server for windows-client [03:12] shashike: then you are wasting your time with a windows virus scanner in linux [03:12] You will see fails from every upgrade? You mean the standard dependency failures? [03:12] shash, that would be pretty amazing if one did ;-) [03:12] is there a gui like program to edit the hosts file ...i edited mine on windows using hostsman(i came with several hosts files and updates) [03:13] exactly linux scans windows for virus [03:13] but i have windows 7 and mac OSX on my mac [03:13] dfeuer: no I mean when you look at the thousands of people that come through here, there will be a few with problems [03:13] shashike: for linux you dont need a scanner [03:13] there aren't any anyway [03:13] <: [03:13] is 64bit ubuntu better than 32bit?? [03:14] shashike: it's about equal [03:14] shashike: yes and no [03:14] shashike: if you are using 4gb ram and more, yes [03:14] hi. I recently removed a bunch of apps that as it turns out I never ever use. Do I need to do a manual purge of the hidden folders or is there some way that synaptic or aptitude can do this as well? [03:14] u run windows 64 bit is 4 64bit cpus and larger ram capacity [03:14] i have 4gigs of ram [03:14] then u need to run 64bit [03:14] whileimhere, what is a hidden folder? [03:14] shashike: then use 64bit version [03:14] what about compatibility>> [03:14] dfeuer: ~/.something [03:14] shashike: called amd64, even if using intel [03:14] Oh, those aren't hidden... [03:15] dfeuer any folder that has a . in front of it I guess. [03:15] yes they are [; [03:15] shashike u sound like a real noob [03:15] And yes, whileimhere, I think you probably do have to scrap them manually if you want to. [03:15] !noob | Scott__ [03:15] Scott__: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [03:15] i am actually!!! [03:15] shashike: if you only install and run software from the repositories, you are cryptographically assured that you are only executing code that Canonical has looked over and verified, and worms just don't work [03:15] jfgi? >: [03:15] Does any one have any experience setting up a wireless router using ubuntu [03:15] ah [03:15] whileimhere: you could, it won't hurt to leave them either [03:15] i am new to ubuntu, well not exactly, i have been using it for the last 2 months === _zZz_4n531_zZz_ is now known as an531 [03:15] brianherman: it depends on the router [03:16] shashike: normally there are no different with 64bit and 32bit, expecting flash [03:16] I could be wrong, whileimhere, but for an admin to delete users' config files would be rather irresponsible, and such behavior is /presumably/ not specially supported by synaptic. [03:16] lstarns:nver mind should of asked google first [03:16] dfeuer: that's definitely correct [03:16] im new to ubuntu also and ive mbeen using it for over 12 years [03:17] Scott__: ubuntu is ~4 years old [03:17] Izinucs, There is a windows host for virtualbox as well as a linux box. Can I run the same virtual machine file in either? [03:17] hmmm, how can I launch ubuntu software centre from terminal? [03:17] shashike: the only time there are compatibility challenges with 64bit are flash and a very few rare programs... that said, performance gains are not that great for 64bit, overall [03:17] iceroot: i think he meant linux :f [03:17] brianherman has some brains use google instead [03:17] is 32bit more stable than 64bit?? [03:17] Actually, scratch that. How can I INSTALL ubuntu software center [03:17] DaZ: maybe :) [03:17] shashike: both are stable [03:17] or at least it's the only way it makes any sense [03:17] Typh: software-center & [03:17] shashike: no differences [03:17] pls pardon me if i am asking stupid questions, coz i am new to ubuntu [03:18] shashike: no worry about that [03:18] Typh: run it from the terminal, and it will tell you how to install it if it's not already [03:18] shashike: for that there is this support-channel [03:18] what's a good video editor for *buntu? [03:18] jtaji: Yeah answered my own question on that one and confirmed jolicloud doesn't seem to have it [03:18] shashike unless u are running like the latest specs system why even ask as if u have 4 gb ram anywys [03:18] Roasted: define good === security is now known as Guest87910 [03:18] jtaji: I'm just getting command not found [03:18] kazagistar - something that doestn suck. [03:19] lol [03:19] Typh: if you are on cli, you dont want to use ubuntu software center, you want to use apt-get [03:19] Typh: I guess you don't have command-not-found installed, the package is also named software-center [03:19] Im on kdenlive now, but it wont fade out my pictures despite me having the setting set for fade out. Okay. Fail. Now I need a new program that does the job. [03:19] jtaji: Yeah, no package either. [03:19] anyone know of a google gadget that cycles thru MY pictures and not some random site [03:20] iceroot: that's what I'm using, but what's the reason for not being able to use USC? [03:20] Roasted, can't you just fix the program? [03:20] why guest? [03:20] Typh: guis are slow, useless and not cool [03:20] shashike do a sudo cat /proc/meminfo in terminal and let us now the outcome [03:20] younder - it'd help if I knew how to make it fade out my pictures?? But I dont. So - no. I can't. [03:20] Typh: apt-get is so much faster then clicking with the mouse [03:20] video editor application, anybody? Any good ones? [03:20] Should I exit major apps before doing a dist upgrade? [03:21] Roasted: it's linux [03:21] typh 'sudo apt-get install software-center' [03:21] Typh, It's also easier to explain on a chat. [03:21] iceroot: dunno, they are useful for quickly making choices in unfamiliar situations, and can look and function rather cool [03:21] daz - yes. thank you for that. But Im already on linux. Im looking for a video editing program. [03:21] kazagistar: maybe but not always [03:21] Roasted: it's like looking for penguins in africa [03:21] Roasted, well you have a alpha channed and Cairo can set the opaquety. Start with a solic fill and full transparency and pradually set it to full opaquity. [03:21] i wish you luck tho [; [03:22] gradually [03:22] daz - I always hear great things about the video and audio editors in linux. So far, the audio side is true. Now Im playing with the video side. [03:22] iceroot: for example, apt-get is a lot slower if you have never used it before, or just want to browse some category of software for things you might like [03:22] Roasted, have you tried cinelerra? [03:22] does ubuntu slow down over time?? [03:22] dsnyders - I have not. Is it in the repos? [03:22] apt-get is never slower [03:22] shashike: no [03:22] shashike - not in my experience. [03:22] Roasted, not sure. I think it is. [03:22] shashike - *buntu user (Kubuntu and Ubuntu both) of 5 years here. [03:23] shashike: windows gets slower because of the registry and we don't have it. [03:23] join #zsnes [03:23] sah, sry [03:23] no, but we have gconf [03:23] kazagistar: no [03:23] LizardK|ng: i don't. [03:23] kazagistar: apt-get is not slower then gui [03:23] its like this, once i left my macbook on the whole night and the next day it was lagging like hell, but after a reboot it was fine, is that normal? [03:23] Quick question: Can I use remote desktop while the other machine I want to connect to is in use? [03:23] shashike, it depends on how well you load down your RAM. I tend to let Firefox balloon to 60-160 open tabs, including Flash video, so if I let that go long enough, things can get bad enough after a couple months that I need a reboot. [03:23] kazagistar: in fact, it might be faster [03:24] DaZ, ok, gnome has gconf [03:24] kazagistar: both must use something like update but the gui is doing that at the background you dont see it [03:24] 60-160 open tabs? [03:24] shashike: it's not [03:24] zomGreg_, yes. [03:24] anyone here used an x10 controller on ubuntu before? [03:24] I am very cluttered. [03:24] dfeuer, restarting firefox doesn;t work? [03:24] jeebus that's a lot of tabs [03:24] omfg [03:24] hello? [03:24] LizardK|ng, usually it does, but I think the last time it must've fragmented my swap too badly, or /something/. Dunno. [03:25] How can you stand that many open tabs? I need multiple browsers [03:25] a full disk will lead to performance degradation [03:25] kcj1993: we see your question. Please ba patient while somebody tries to dsicover an answer [03:25] kcj1993, It depends on the connection. if you're piping X through ssh, yes. If you're using VNC to duplicate the desktop remotely, no. [03:25] *discover [03:25] why not just get a bigger disk? [03:25] thx [03:26] My Ubuntu system would not boot because of no free disk space, so I booted a live CD and deleted one file of no great importance.

I do not know why my Ubuntu 9.10 is on that mode [03:43] aviarorman78: you probably want libdvdcss2 from the medibuntu repository, which isn't included in ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:43] RenatoSilva: use dos2unix [03:43] renato: dos2unix [03:43] !medibuntu | aviarorman78 [03:43] aviarorman78: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:43] jtaji: thanks i got it now. do i really have to do this just to access the files? I can't just double click on an icon or something? [03:43] bgoldsmith: have to install? [03:43] yes [03:44] evon: well when you go to Connect to Server, click Add bookmark, then an icon will always be in Places [03:44] just type dos2unix and you'll get the command for installing [03:44] yes it shows the disk. kazagistar [03:44] mezquitale, I'm running dual boot with ubuntu as my primary OS was hoping there might be a linux tool to help fix the problem was able to copy partitions using gparted but now only the ubuntu partition will boot windows will not [03:44] evon: and you won't have to type the info again [03:44] Okay... so I've looked over fora, bug lists, and the google, and none of them have helped. I've got a fresh install of Karmic which hangs on boot (same on LiveCD- install via alt. CD worked fine), always at the "Starting AppArmor profiles" step. [03:44] bgoldsmith: will install just for that then remove :P thanks [03:45] anyone here with RAID 1 + grub 2 experience on karmic server ? [03:45] ubuntu restricted extras didnt help. [03:45] jtaji: ok done. thanks a lot. much appreciated [03:45] RenatoSilva: np [03:45] aviarorman78: try getting Medibuntu working then [03:45] bgoldsmith: you might also try in #ubuntu-server [03:45] okay thanks jtaji :) [03:46] bigdavjoker, that is a funky way of doing things, it can be done but it will require to reinstall grub [03:47] aviarorman78: do as jtaji suggested. follow the link for medibuntu. [03:47] I just installed 8.04 LTS, good version to stick with? [03:48] I created an Ubuntu Netbook Remix USB stick with the USB Startup Creator. I'm trying to install it on an EeePC, but it won't boot. "Removable Dev." is selected as the first boot device in the BIOS. Any ideas? [03:48] Leftmost: What happens when you try it? [03:48] I want to find whoever chose to tightly integrate PulseAudio in karmic and kick them in the @$$ [03:48] YOu may not have rendered it bootable. [03:48] hamachi: for stability yes. [03:48] bastid: excellent [03:49] KB1JWQ, it just boots into Xandros. Doing a cfdisk on the stick shows the boot flag is enabled. [03:49] mezquitale, yes I've got grub reinstalled and it sees the windows partition but when I try and boot into it all I get is a blinking cursor [03:49] hamachi: if you want something to stick with, you could wait until 10.4LTS comes out, then upgrade to that... that will be supported until 2015 [03:49] So... anyone know anything about the Karmic boot process hanging because of AppArmor? [03:49] Oh, and it doesn't show up in the boot devices menu when I hit Esc at the Eee BIOS. [03:50] Err, during POST. [03:50] kazagistar: yes that's what I was planning on doing [03:50] bigdavjoker, so you mean you copied the windows installation to your hard drive and never tested windows alone to see if it could boot? [03:50] ok i will follow the metibuntu link. [03:50] kazagistar: once Lucid comes out he'll be able to upgrade directly to it from 8.04.. LTS to LTS and skip all the versions in between. [03:51] bastid: thats perfect.. I got a question, I havent set up my wireless yet on this... where can I get a list of the networks it sees? [03:52] hamachi, GUI or commandline? [03:52] mezquitale, laptop with HD going bad installed new HD used Gparted to copy partions from old HD in an external enclousre to new HD in laptop used liveCD to install grub [03:52] leftmost: GUI [03:52] hi i running ubuntu off windows HD with wubi am having some trouble. i want to copy some files from one windows hd ( the one i am running ubuntu off) to another windows hd but it keeps giving me this error "Error creating directory: Operation not supported". I guess it has to do with the difrent file systems but is there way i can get around it? [03:53] hamachi, NetworkManager should be one of the icons in the upper-right. Perhaps click a couple of them, see if they bring up a list of networks. [03:53] cactusfrog: perhaps it is mounted read-only? [03:53] ok then how do i make it so its not read only? [03:54] leftmost: there's a network icon, but it doesnt give me a list of networks, and my wireless device is active [03:54] how could i find out if its mounted read only? [03:54] Does it just say there are no networks in range or something of the sort? === snowbeard_ is now known as snowbeard [03:54] leftmost: nothing [03:54] updated xulrunner-1.9 today and now firefox refuses to open, saying "Error launching browser window:no XBL binding for browser" is anyone else experincing this problem? (and how can i revert to the last one?) [03:55] kazagistar: how can i tell if its not read only and if it is how can i change it so that its not? [03:55] hamachi, are you certain the drivers for the card are installed? [03:55] bigdavjoker, if the old hard drive was failing I recommend to just reinstall a fresh copy of windows, I dont know if copying with gparted would work, copying the partition with ghost or partition magic would do it but you would need to know what youre doing, in either case, copying partitions from a hard drive going bad can lead to corrupt data, i would not do it [03:55] wiki wiki, [03:55] leftmost: well the OS knows I have a wireless card, so I'm assuming yes.. Is there a way to check? [03:55] is there an other way to get this done. im a linux noob that metibuntu tutorial is no help to me. [03:56] hamachi, where does it say it knows you have a card ? (That may be all the answer necessary.) [03:57] how do i talk to a cetrain person like do i press tab or what (i am using pidgen) [03:57] aviarorman78: all you got to do is run that long command, right under "Adding the Repository", in a terminal [03:57] cactusfrog: type their nick manually [03:57] cactusfrog, use "!tab" [03:57] leftmost: when I click on the network icon and go to manual configuation, it shows all my devices: lan, wireless and 56k, and under wireless it says "roaming mode enabled" [03:57] cactusfrog: or type the first couple letters then press the tab key [03:57] Ahh. Hmm. [03:57] lstarnes, im not sure that works on pidgin [03:57] digitalaxis: it should [03:58] aviarorman78: best way to do that is to select it in your web browser, then middle-click in the terminal to paste it [03:58] ok thats what i thought doesn't work with pidgen i'll install xchat [03:58] hi i running ubuntu off windows HD with wubi am having some trouble. i want to copy some files from one windows hd ( the one i am running ubuntu off) to another windows hd but it keeps giving me this error "Error creating directory: Operation not supported".

[03:59] leftmost: ahh not quite sure on the number: Maybe Dell Wireless 1350 [04:00] leftmost: I have an Inspiron 9100 [04:00] I got one of those too. [04:00] It is a Dell Wireless 1350.

[04:44] can't seem to find it [04:44] quok: what happens when you start it in a terminal? [04:44] then i try to start it from trimnal its says bus error [04:44] aqwq: try moving ~/.mozilla/ to another location or deleting it [04:44] aqwq: rename .firefox and see if it changes.. if it does, it's a profile problem, most likely an extension problem. [04:45] aqwq: also, have you restarted X since this started happening? [04:45] i back from work i trun on my computer then x wont start [04:45] lstarnes is correct, ~/.mozilla, not what i said.

I'd say stick with debian then [04:49] uh, sorry equs but, can't find it on that page [04:49] yes i have tried the forums [04:49] basas: I don't see anyone having done ubuntu yet [04:49] http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Linux [04:49] http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Linux [04:50] personal jynx! [04:50] thats about it... very specialized distros [04:50] paddy_melon, go to #puppylinux on freedode for help [04:50] ok thanks [04:50] well i just switched from the 32 bit version of ubuntu to the x64 to take advantage of my processer/memory etc.. and was just wondering before i go stuffing it all up what do i need to know as far as installing applications etc.. im thinking flash etc thats still only 32bit (i think) does the software centre recognise my os as x64? and will it source 64bit apps within it? [04:51] need help with vnc, cant see windows but can see desktop [04:51] skitzo: it still installs the 32-bit flash [04:51] skitzo: works fine here [04:52] skitzo: but yeah basically everything else will be 64-bit [04:53] baltadt: have you installed vncserver [04:53] is there a way to restore / repair an ubuntu user profile? i turned on my netbook the other day and now the top bar is all reset to default. Also, I cant run a lot of programs. [04:53] jtaji, sweet.. so within the software center it will have all x64 software if available.. (so i dont need to jump online and go source it out myself) [04:53] i don't think so [04:54] leetom, sudo apt-get install vncserver? [04:54] baltadt: or vnc4server [04:54] on server or remote [04:54] skitzo, don't use the flash from the repos, either through app center or synaptic. it's 32-bit, and still requires nsplugin wrapper, etc. use the 64-bit flash 10.0.34.42 from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.42.34.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz [04:54] baltadt: on server [04:54] ok will try that [04:55] I notice I don't have soundjuicer and it's not in the repos. can anybody recommend a good substitute? [04:55] leetom, ok installed on server. now what [04:56] d9500, shot bro! mean.. thanks for that info [04:57] Hi i need help with Evolution Mail [04:57] baltadt: is that vnc4server or vncserver? === magic_ninjaij is now known as magic_ninja [04:57] vnc4server [04:57] Oinkoinkoink: Okay. What's the issue? [04:57] np skitzo [04:57] Me and my girlfriend are using Evolution [04:57] With different mail account [04:57] But when i configure it [04:57] All my mail and her [04:57] Are mix [04:58] Oinkoinkoink: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:58] How come [04:58] baltadt: run vnc4server on server [04:58] Oinkoinkoink: are you using separate computer accounts? [04:58] No [04:58] Oinkoinkoink: that would explaim it [04:58] *explain [04:58] baltadt: the connect server with ip:5901 [04:58] Hello [04:58] why would do-release-upgrade fail ? [04:59] Its impossible to have 2 different mail account [04:59] On the same session [04:59] DaskreeCh: it depends on the error messages [04:59] It cannot find the 9.10 upgrade servers? [04:59] Thats a little bit stupid lol [04:59] lstarnes: No new release found [05:00] When I do a 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' I get 'FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.' -- any ideas what I might do to remedy this? [05:00] And im using a POP with my mail, i cannot see the picture [05:00] DaskreeCh: I'm not sure what would cause that [05:00] d9500, i downloaded it mate, but i cant install it through synaptic.. [05:00] jmyers1: you need the right packages for ndiswrapper installed [05:00] lstarnes: Me either it's really annoying [05:01] lstarnes: Well, I installed the driver with it via the ndiswrapper -i wg311v3.inf command [05:01] Ndiswrapper is a pain in the a55 [05:01] Good luck body [05:02] where is System → Administration → Services in 9.10 [05:02] skitzo, don't use synaptic or dpkg. it's not a .deb file. it should be a tar.gz file. just open the directory in nautilus where you downloaded it to, then right-click on the tar.gz package and choose "extract here." it will extract a file called libflashplayer.so. [05:02] leetom: when i log in now there is no desktop [05:03] d9500, all good, sorry still a newbie aye lol windows has warped my fragile little mind ahaha [05:03] skitzo, then close firefox and any other browsers, open your home folder in nautilus, hit ctrl+h to show hidden directories, open the .mozilla directory, and create a directory inside it called "plugins" (no quotes.) copy libflashplayer.so to that directory, open firefox and you should have the flashplugin instealled now. [05:03] hello all [05:03] hello [05:03] what program should I use on remote puter [05:03] skitzo, you can test by going to youtube, dailymotion, any site that needs flash to play videos, etc. [05:04] d9500, shot! legend [05:04] baltadt: maybe you should edit $HOME/.vnc/xstartup [05:05] when I press ctrl + Z what does that do? [05:05] in shell [05:05] tawhnee: Suspend a task [05:05] <|_ocke> it suspends the process [05:05] tawhnee: type jobs [05:05] Can it still like run? [05:05] <|_ocke> puts it in background status [05:05] <|_ocke> its still running [05:05] How does KDE's speed compare to GDM [05:05] ah [05:06] hardy 8.04. why is any process by haldaemon shows up as it's uid when i do a "ps axu"? everything else is fine, and haldaemon is listed in /etc/passwd [05:06] Tiders: do you mean Gnome? [05:06] tawhnee: afaik it will not be running though it's backgrounded [05:06] baltadt: and you have to logout the gome on server [05:06] leetom: what program on remote puter side [05:06] DaskreeCh, Yes === cmdshftn_ is now known as cmdshftn [05:06] help me! [05:06] DaskreeCh, GDM is another name for Gnome is it not? [05:06] how do i bring it back from background? [05:06] my monitor makes me dizzy. [05:06] Tiders: about the same though Gnome is much snappier at startup [05:06] tawhnee: try with firefox: open in terminal, tell it to load a website, ctrl+z while loading [05:06] d9500, did all that mate, but when i went to youtube.com i got the message Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. [05:07] Tiders: No they are different things [05:07] tawhnee: command is fg [05:07] i want to change the refresh rate but how? [05:07] DaskreeCh, Could you explain? [05:07] baltadt: the pre-installed one is ok [05:08] Tiders: Gnome is the Desktop and princples around it [05:08] skitzo, you're not using flashblock or noscript addons in firefox, are you? [05:08] GDM is the login screen [05:08] Or the program that gives you the login screen [05:09] d9500, um.. i don't think so i just freshly installed ubuntu [05:09] DaskreeCh, Isnt GDE just an acronym for Gnome Desktop Environment? [05:09] DaskreeCh: it is also responsible for managing the session, starting the desktop environment, and restarting X when it fails [05:09] Tiders: no [05:09] d9500, maybe java isn't installed? [05:09] Tiders: gnome is always gnome [05:09] Tiders: You said GDM === tawhnee is now known as mdeonte [05:09] Anyone here think they can help me figure out why my laptop wont upgrade from KU 904 to 910? The only tinng that's not completely standard is I've been using the KDE upgrade sw from launchpad ppa. Have been doing "apt-get update" "apt-get dist-upgrade" to maintain the system. In #kubuntu, we can't figure it out. Any thoughts? [05:09] d9500, do i need to find a x64 version java to? [05:09] lstarnes: Right but it can hardly be considered GNome [05:09] How do I get my server to look like that [05:09] it's just the display manager [05:10] DaskreeCh, Whats the difference between GDE and GDM then X_X [05:10] when I log out on server the access on remote like 192.168.254.2 it say no connection [05:10] oops [05:10] nvm [05:10] skitzo, not that i can tell. i can use the 64-bit flash plugin fine on my machine w/ no java runtime environment installed. [05:10] when I use 192.168.254.2:5901 is gives grey screen with 3 checked blocks [05:11] Tiders: GDE doesn't exist [05:11] baltadt: have you closed the gnome on server? [05:11] lstarnes Ive heard it said often [05:11] Tiders: there is no such thing as GDE. Gnome is always just "Gnome" or "GNOME" [05:11] Tiders: this is the first time I've heard it [05:11] KDM and GDM, I bet, is the real question. [05:11] gdk? [05:12] u mean the gui [05:12] lstarnes, Ah.. Maybe just all the people I talk to use it as slang or something [05:12] alankila: That's a silly question in that context [05:12] baltadt: yea [05:12] Tiders: GDM just handles logging in, starting the rest of Gnome or another desktop environment, and restarting X when it shuts off [05:12] Tiders: Or ignorance :) [05:12] skitzo, also, make sure you do not have any existing flash player (32-bit) or gnash (open source flash player) instealled. [05:12] no how do I do that [05:12] Tiders: KDM does the same thing, but it is part of KDE, not Gnome [05:12] installed* [05:13] baltadt: logout, then press ctrl+alt+F1, login, then vnc4server [05:14] Hi i need some help, Im on the live cd atm and i have 30gig of unalocated space . How can i make another partion bigger ? [05:14] d9500, i'll check [05:14] Does anyone have any insight as to why do-release-upgrade would fail with no new release found on Jaunty at this time ? [05:15] leetom: how to re enable gui [05:15] chilli0: gparted [05:15] i'm having trouble with network manager. What should a route look like? [05:15] does anyone use xmonad? [05:15] DaskreeCh: Im on gparted . [05:15] chilli0: make sure you have back ups though [05:15] chilli0: Then you resize as you need to then [05:16] baltadt: you cant login on remote after you enabled gui [05:16] Must i make the unallocated ext3 ? [05:16] d9500, just checked no other flash installed, software centres giving me the option to install adobe flash.. wont this be the x64 version? [05:16] dukz: a declaration of gateway address for reaching certain network or host? [05:16] but if I wanted to [05:16] alankila: hehe wait... im putting mine on pastebin [05:16] baltadt: press ctrl+alt+F7 you'll see gdm [05:17] Hey, I have a gnome menu that doesn't have shutdown/reboot in it, I looked in edit menus and didn't see a way to enable it [05:17] skitzo, no. the x64 flash player is still considered "prerelease" software, so it's not in the repos yet, and software center/synaptic pull from the repos. [05:17] you guys have any idea? =) [05:17] chilli0: make it what ever you please [05:17] sontek: Look in your user menu over on the right [05:17] chilli0: use ext4 [05:17] d9500, :( i dunno then i did what ya said [05:17] Hi, i'm new to ubuntu and i need to get gforth 0.7.0 installed can anyone help me? pm please :) [05:17] ardchoil1e: I want the extra screenspace so I got rid of that [05:17] leetom: ok i'm logged in now. but it is terminal. is there a way to see the gui remotly? === adam is now known as Guest46551 [05:18] sontek: then the shutdown/reboot options should have automatically been added to your standard menu [05:19] Hi [05:19] I downloaded WhatPulse from the website [05:19] sontek: (too obvious, sorry) did you look under "System"? [05:19] i open the whatpulse program by opening the whatpulse file in ~/Desktop/32bit/ [05:19] bu.. [05:19] but.. [05:19] i want whatpulse to show up under the applications menu, i don't know how to do this [05:19] baltadt: terminal? gnome should run ... [05:20] skitzo, open firefox and then, on the menu bar, click on "tools" and then "add-ons." when the add-ons window opens, click "plugins." you should see "Shockwave Flash. Shockwave Flash 10.0 r42" there. do you? [05:20] leetom: i have grey background with the 3 boxes and a terminal window in front [05:21] Greetings... new install of ubuntu 9.04 (couldnt install 9.10 for some reason all the .ISOs I d/l'ed didn't seem to work..)... I can't get online with this base install though.. need to be able to make (?) ad-hoc wireless connections... which software packages might I be able to download to put on a cd or usb stick to transfer to the computer (need to d/l it on windows, so no easy apt-get here..) thanks... [05:21] d9500, no [05:21] baltadt: that's when i login gnome on server [05:22] baltadt: you login on another computer? [05:22] I just installed Ubuntu, but I did not install the boot loader, because I am not the only person who uses the system and I do not want to confuse them. Is it possible to boot from the installation disc? [05:22] skitzo, then either one of two things is happening. the libflashplayer.so is not in the correct directory/not being detected by firefox, or, less likely, you're not running an x64 system. [05:22] DaskreeCh: Erm [05:22] yes when I log in on remote computer with Remote desktop viewer [05:22] so i was looking at ubuntu, but is there a rolling release type like debian? where i like debian for that, but i cant find it [05:23] Need help installing intel video drivers. My got corrupted and I have a white screen when I try to load in to gnome. Even in safe mode. I can get into a terminal. Can somone help me down load the intel vid drivers via the terminal. they are in synaptic. Thanks. [05:23] It doesnt let me resize it [05:23] sircrazy: You mean like debian unstable? [05:23] skitzo, pm me and i'll go into more detailed instructions on how to do the install. [05:23] I hawe the unallocated and when i try to make the ext3 bigger it dont work [05:23] baltadt: what about the server? it runs with gui? [05:23] sircrazy: you could try the development branch (ubuntu 10.04 is the current development version), but it is extremely likely to break and it is unsu[[prted [05:23] Some_Person: i mean like rolling release, where i install it, and i just keep adding updates [05:23] leetom: yes it does [05:23] hello all, Im trying to find a list of security vulnerabilities for sendmail v8.13.1, for uppgrading purposes. [05:24] leetom: do I need to log out on server? [05:24] baltadt: yeah === _zZz_4n531_zZz_ is now known as an531 [05:24] ok let me try that [05:24] vishah: ubuntu's packages are automatically updated to patch security vulnerabilities [05:24] sircrazy: neither are rolling releases... you do dist-upgrades, which tend to create problems [05:24] is ubuntu all in numbers 9.04 and 9.10 etc, or is there a branch just for rolling release [05:24] hey guys. Help with network-manager. I seem to be having trouble with my route output whenver I use a certain IP [05:24] oh, i thought it was like debian though [05:24] leetom: then local ip plus :5901?\ [05:24] sircrazy: for rolling release, see arch linux [05:24] http://pastebin.com/m2eba9728 <==== this is the route output [05:24] sircrazy: there is no such branch [05:25] darn [05:25] sircrazy: debian isn't rolling release either [05:25] i like ubuntu style [05:25] Anyone know how to load the vid drivers from repositories via the terminal? [05:25] used 9.04 [05:25] sircrazy: some distributions only offer that kind of branch, like gentoo and arch [05:25] but i dont like this giant jump to 9.10 [05:25] lstarnes: yes but this is on a server, they want a list of vulnerabilities, because they are thinking of upgrading [05:25] seems so big [05:25] baltadt: maybe you have to run vnc4server in command another time [05:25] like if i dont reinstall i will have issue [05:25] vishah: if it's the ubuntu package, it should be patched automatically [05:25] sircrazy: it goes by year.month [05:25] when i use a 192.168.10.50, the route goes crazy, I can ping internally, but can't get out of the network. But when I use a 192.168.10.60, everything seems to be fine. [05:25] vishah: although it will be patched, not upgraded to an upstream version [05:25] sircrazy: 9.10 = 2009 september [05:26] right [05:26] no [05:26] sircrazy: october sorry [05:26] vishah: most linux distributions patch packages for security issues [05:26] october [05:26] is this thing working? can you see this? [05:26] I didnt have this problem last week. and I need my ip to be 10.50 since i've already setup my NAT, etc. [05:26] lol [05:26] dukz: yes [05:26] sircrazy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:26] dukz: oops, wrong person [05:26] D9: yes, it is working [05:26] Oh good. [05:26] any suggestions? [05:26] D9: I don't know an answer to your question though. Sorry. [05:26] :-) [05:26] sircrazy, ubuntu (unfortunately IMO) doesn't have a rolling-release system. that said, you can use PPAs to make some of the major parts (kernel, firefox, openoffice even, I think) get frequent, even daily updates to the latest version. [05:26] dukz: what do you mean by "when I use 192.168.10.50". These are two different machines? [05:26] but i was thinking more like something where it doesnt have 9.10, just ubuntu base and i just upgrade every week or so and it stays with all the current stuff, like on debian, where its number 5, but its like rolling [05:27] ok, that stinks [05:27] lstarnes: so who is the rock star when it comes to vid drivers? [05:27] dukz: the problem with the .50 is that the default route points to localhost instead of 192.168.10.2. [05:27] D9: nobody in particular [05:27] sircrazy: anyway, there are 3 branches of ubuntu: lts, stable, and development. lts has few long term releases. stable has 6 month releases. development is for development of the next stable version, and is pretty much unusable usually [05:27] alankila: same machine. I just edited the IP in network manager. [05:27] alankila: That's right. My default gw should be 192.168.10.2 (that's our firewall). [05:27] so long term release is kind of like rolling, because it lasts a long time? [05:27] sircrazy: what you described is arch linux :) [05:27] dukz: aha. Hmm. I don't know why that would happen, though, but the gateway is wrong, maybe you can somehow force it correct. [05:28] leetom: i am loged in on server but in terminal. still on remote puter [05:28] sircrazy: No, it gets few updates. [05:28] i hear arch linux is real hard, that u have to do a LOT of manual stuff [05:28] dukz: oh wait, I said wrong way ... .60 is the one with localhost as gateway... [05:28] sircrazy: it's easier than gentoo [05:28] leetom: is there a way to make gui show [05:28] sircrazy: it's hard because it's a rolling release. [05:28] sircrazy: and it's only a bit harder than debian [05:28] sircrazy: some operations are actually easier [05:28] really, well i saw they have new stuff [05:28] baltadt: try startx [05:28] i like that [05:28] sircrazy: there's no "rolling release" for ubuntu like there is for debian (assuming you refer to unstable branch). [05:28] but i always told ubuntu is more stable [05:29] alankila: alankila, actually, it's the correct gateway. That's why I find it weird that when I set it to 10.60, it has a localhost gateway, but it can connect to the internet. but the one with 10.50 cannot [05:29] anyone know how to down load drivers in terminal? From the repositories. [05:29] leetom: user not allthorized to run x server aborting [05:30] baltadt: then sudo startx? [05:30] dukz: I agree. It is the first time I see something like this -- I have no idea how your symptoms can happen. Linux should not be capable of routing the packets correctly when it sets itself as the gateway. [05:30] so can i make arch stable like ubuntu? [05:30] sircrazy: I'd recommend sticking with the stable branch pretty much always for ubuntu. When the development branch gets to RC status it's pretty close to stable if not already, but you might as well wait the extra short time to be sure [05:30] hola [05:31] sircrazy: it's usually stable for me in virtual machines === fer is now known as Guest69591 [05:31] virtual what? [05:31] sircrazy: stable means having a system that is already well tested [05:31] alankila: yeah i know. it wasnt like this before, and i was wondering about it when i got here this mroning [05:31] ugh [05:31] sircrazy: machines [05:31] oh like vbox? [05:31] sircrazy: yes [05:31] sircrazy: If you do want/need more recent packages for a stable release there are unofficial repositories (often on launchpad ppa) [05:31] i should try that, can i like practice in that. [05:31] I'm wanting to install Ubuntu 9.10 alongside an existing Windows 7 installation, but I do not want Ubuntu's boot loader installed for various reasons. I simply want the machine to boot as if Ubuntu wasn't installed. Is it possible to manually boot Ubuntu from the installation CD? [05:31] i heard about ppa, but it seems ahrd [05:31] sircrazy: yes [05:31] sircrazy: ppas are relatively easy [05:31] hard. having to edit system files [05:32] sircrazy: editing system files isn't always as hard as you think it is [05:32] oh [05:32] i should look it up [05:32] i heard u get new firefox that way [05:32] is it that microsoft is releasing MSLINUX 1.0 in febuary? [05:32] can't even traceroute [05:32] sircrazy: as long as you pay attention to announcements related to updates, most rolling release systems can be kept stable easily [05:33] oh, does that comment refer to arch? [05:33] there is like so much to learn [05:33] i dont know where to begin, lol [05:33] sircrazy: or any other rolling release system [05:33] Hello :) [05:33] sircrazy: you can learn the basics of linux systems on an easier distribution like ubuntu [05:33] thank you for all of your knoweldge and tolerating me [05:33] hi photobug21 what do you need [05:34] lstarnes: or LFS! [05:34] DaskreeCh: that's more advanced though [05:35] LOAF [05:35] Hi, i'm new to ubuntu and i need to get gforth 0.7.0 installed can anyone help me? pm please :) [05:36] dukz: check out if iptables nat and normal chains are empty when the localhost gateway is in use. Maybe there's some super weird netfilter setup [05:36] Hi, just hanging out D9 thanks [05:36] brb [05:36] dukz: that's all I can think of [05:38] anyone know how to install vid driver from the repositorys. [05:38] !intel | D9 [05:38] D9: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [05:38] lstarnes, know regression.. what does that mean [05:38] sircrazy: I think you might wanna rethink whether what you want is really a "rolling release" distro, or just some of the software that is quite up to date (eg, having firefox up to date instead of having all the system on the bleeding edge brand new packages). In ubuntu, it is really not that hard to jump from one long-term supported version to another every 3 year or so (called "LTS), while keeping some of the packages you wan [05:39] leetom: great I don't have a terminal anymore. i tryed to start over and typed exit [05:39] D9: something becoming broken or downgrading in functionality [05:39] I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 alongside an existing Windows 7 installation, but I chose not to install Ubuntu's boot loader for various reasons. When I power on my computer, Windows 7 loads, which is how I want it. I want to manually boot the Ubuntu system from the installation disc. Is this possible? Are there options that I can specify in "Boot Options"? Any information would be... [05:39] D9: that doesn't apply to 9.10 [05:39] ...greatly appreciated. [05:39] *have not been (relatively) [05:39] D9: which intel card are you using? [05:40] vajorie: that actually sounds like what i want. :D [05:40] what you described [05:40] thank you [05:40] I just installed ubuntu succesfully, but now during my boot up it hangs on "PREFETCH window" [05:40] does anyone know how to fix that? [05:40] baltadt: it's ok now: [05:41] did freenode do something new? saying my router is buggy. Whats up with that? [05:41] How does KDE work with dual displays [05:41] vinnie_: you were banned from this channel because your router was vulnerable to the DCC exploit [05:41] Tiders, wat do u nean [05:41] Like will it work okay? [05:41] pvl1, Will it work okay* [05:42] Tiders, depends on ue card [05:42] pvl1, Nvidia [05:42] lstarnes: i changed to port 80001 and the 'test me' and now im back. [05:42] vinnie_: that should work around the exploit [05:42] Tiders, should be fine. i have an ati and runs flawlessly [05:42] Can anyone help me install "http://brsev.deviantart.com/art/Token-128429570?offset=100#comments"? =) [05:42] leetom: no I cant figure out how to get it back [05:42] Can't get em to work [05:43] If I want to down load a driver package is this the correct syntax? apt-get install (package name)? [05:43] lstarnes: should i go ahead and upgrade my firmware? [05:43] sircrazy: you're welcome :) [05:43] D9: it depends on the package name [05:43] pvl1, Will I be losing anything by switching to Kubuntu? Performance wise etc [05:43] D9: but it is sudo apt-get install packagename [05:43] lstarnes, is there anything else I need? [05:44] Tiders, not that i know off. i keep gnome and kde, they seem to run the same [05:44] D9: other than the name of the package, no [05:44] ok [05:45] D9: what's the driver you wanna get? perhaps someone here knows something tipsy about that... [05:45] pvl1, If I wanted to install the KDE environment onto my box alongside GNOME could I do that and then remove ALL KDE stuff easily if I dont like? [05:45] Tiders: yes [05:45] Tiders: it can be a bit tricky though [05:45] Tiders, idk about the easily part but yes [05:45] lstarnes: no it's not [05:45] it's a hell of a lot easier than removing Gnome [05:46] Tiders, oh if all then yes [05:46] Tiders: if you install it using aptitude, I believe removing it would be very easy [05:46] Would I just do sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop? [05:46] Hi all, I would like to know how many sata drives linux can support on x86 arch ? [05:46] sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 kubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get autoremove [05:47] freemind: Somewhere in the region of 700,000 [05:47] DaskreeCh, Thanks [05:47] Tiders: nope, apt-get would just remove that one meta-package. install with sudo aptitude install whatever [05:47] how can I get my system to automagically mount an additional internal hard drive on startup? [05:47] vajorie, Sudo apt-get and aptitude are different? I thought apt-get was just a front end [05:47] Tiders: and remove with sudo aptitude remove whatever (same package name, so that it can remember what it installed alongside "whatever") [05:47] DaskreeCh, so... the limit is only the hardware limit? If I add enough controler cards ? [05:47] goose: automagically mount it where? [05:48] Tiders: aptitude is a bit more intelligent :p [05:48] DaskreeCh: /media/space [05:48] leetom: got it back [05:48] freemind: no there is a limit. I doubt a single human will ever hit it though [05:48] !fstab | goose [05:48] goose: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [05:48] DaskreeCh: it's an extra internal HD I use for all my various media stuff [05:48] !aptitude [05:48] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [05:49] DaskreeCh: although I can't "find" it through /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab -- I can only mount it by going to "Computer" and double clicking "298.1 GB Volume" [05:49] leetom: it still says fatal server error: server is already active for display 0....when typied sudo startx [05:49] Vajorie, thanks. I got the driver... It think. it jsut the basic intel drivers that come pre loaded. [05:50] goose: yes, xchat FTW [05:50] goose: Add it to fstab and it will mount it every boot [05:50] ok im trying to learn python, and i have typed in the command to help and then type in the help section modules and my screen goes blank and then turns white and the only thing i can do is reboot? why? [05:51] freemind: Sort of like the limit it has on RAM is 16 Exabytes [05:51] There is a limit but if you hit it then you have waaaaaaaaaay too much money [05:51] my cpu fan seems to be malfunctioning. I have cleaned out all the dirt, but even now, during booting, at the splash screen, the fan suddenly starts blowing, and the computer just goes off. if after a few attempts, the fan doesn't start up at splash screen, my hardy loads fine. [05:51] i_is_broke: try typing quit [05:51] leetom: still there? [05:52] Mr_Lordi, when i get the white screen? [05:52] i_is_broke: pm me === an531 is now known as _zZz_4n531_zZz_ [05:53] sarthorks: did you try booting with stuff like acpi=off? [05:54] mobile broad band connection fails [05:54] vajorie : could you be more specific. i am not at all familiar with all this. [05:54] anyone know about vnc [05:54] Help me please [05:54] sarthorks: give me a second [05:54] vajorie: sure [05:54] Does anyone have any insight as to why do-release-upgrade would fail with no new release found on Jaunty at this time ?

[05:55] daskreech: try ... sudo apt-get update === jongberg1 is now known as jongbergs [05:56] daskreech: i can access server but it only shows terminal. I try startx and it says fatal server error [05:56] daskreech: same with sudo startx [05:57] baltadt: What's the server error? [05:57] vajorie: did you mean something on the lines of : http://paste.ubuntu.com/344015/ [05:57] DaskreeCh: that worked, except that I don't own /media/space, and "sudo chown -R goose /media/space" isn't fixing it :/ [05:58] goose: You mean you don't own the drive now that it's mounted? [05:58] DaskreeCh: server is already active for display 0 [05:58] how much security do you need on it? [05:58] DaskreeCh: exactly [05:58] I can't write to it [05:58] sarthorks: when the computer boots to *grub*, before it actually boots Ubuntu, press e. What you want to do is to follow the direction at the end of the screen to find the line in your very first grub entry that starts like this: "kernel /boot/vmlinuz .....". at the end of that line, add acpi=off, so it looks like this "........... ro quiet splash acpi=off", then press b to boot that entry. this is temporary; editing the menu.li [05:58] baltadt: you have X running already [05:59] goose: I know that. Does it matter if other people can write to it? [05:59] i dont know...how to tell [05:59] DaskreeCh: I'm the only user on the box [05:59] or must it be that only you can use it? [05:59] chmod 777? [05:59] under options in fstab add umask=0022 [05:59] then reboot or run sudo mount -a --remount [06:00] sarthorks: it's been a while since I did any edits to my grub on the fly, so pay attention to the tips that the screen provides you about editing grub entries while on the grub menu [06:00] DaskreeCh: i dont think so. how do I tell [06:00] vajorie: thanks a lot. [06:01] sarthorks: I hope it works [06:01] baltadt: ps aux | grep -i X [06:02] DaskreeCh: it didn't like umask=0022 :/ fails to mount [06:03] DaskreeCh: got a screen full after that [06:03] hello, does anyone knows how can i find php.ini file in a defult instalation of ubuntu? [06:04] huh [06:04] mamooli: sudo updatedb && locate php.ini [06:04] DaskreeCh: it fixed itself when I set flags back to "defaults" [06:04] thanks though :D [06:04] baltadt: pastebin it [06:04] !paste [06:04] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [06:06] hi [06:07] hi Zeppelin [06:07] DaskreeCh: root 24 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:09] Oh, sorry. Will do. [06:10] I just downloaded Ubuntu, as a partition with Windows 7, and was trying to set up my internet connection. But it will not recognize that I have a wireless internet? I can do wired, but wireless won't show up. What do I do? [06:11] Anybody got an answer? [06:11] !wireless | illy [06:11] illy: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:12] ok I give upfor tonight [06:12] Illy: if you do not have drivers available in hardware drivers. You can you ndiswrapper to install your windows drivers although it can be a little technical [06:12] illy: Did you install with Wubi? If so well, real partitions are better in the long run. [06:13] Hiatus, also, I cannot install any packages for some reason. They can not be found. Sebsebseb, no, I downloaded the .iso onto a CD, and then reboot'ed and installed via that. [06:13] Illy: worse comes to worse, you can buy a cheap taiwanese wireless adepter. They always work [06:13] illy: ok [06:13] Hiatus, how much are they in USD? And could you provide a link? and what do they do? [06:13] hiatus: well maybe not always [06:14] !hardware [06:14] 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 [06:14] And, also, I really cant downlaod ANY packages, what can I do about that? [06:14] Well, almost always [06:14] whats the difference between regular ubuntu and linux mint? [06:14] !mint | DoubleDose [06:14] DoubleDose: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[06:15] guess ill google it [06:15] Hiatus, It reads everything, but then says E: Can not find package _____. [06:15] hi...I installed open office 3.1.1 on 9.04...every time I open it , it recursively enters into doc recovery mode...what shud I do? [06:16] illy: when your wired? [06:16] Yes^ [06:16] Unwired too. [06:16] vajorie: hooray! it seems to work! should i make the change in menu.lst itself? [06:17] illy: maybe the server your getting from is having problems at the moment. it's also possible to change the server [06:17] How do I change the server? I was using the main server, I think. [06:17] Illy: mmm, its trying to find your packages from your cd. You need to stop it by removing a bit from a xml file. I forget which one. Someone else could probably tell ya. Its fairly easy [06:17] so i thought i would be security minded and check out SELinux, installed it (sort of) of course it crashed, i rebooted and found no difference. Unfortunately the documentation on it on Ubuntu's site is thin. Now i keep getting a crash when trying to reinstall Apparmor instead. Anyone have any success with SELinux in Ubuntu 9.10? [06:17] I should sleeeeeeeeeep now [06:18] Hiatus, could you direct me to someone who could tell me? [06:18] illy: have a look at how things are set up, this is also where you can change the server/mirror if you want to system > administration > software sources [06:18] hm..OK. [06:19] Hey. [06:19] Kemsei: hi [06:19] I need to find a way to get my wireless on though first. I use a Linksys router, but it wont recognize it. I tried installing the drivers, but make Makefile would not work, as it was a partial makefile, what should I do? [06:19] Illy: if someone from here doesn't know, someone from the forums does. I had the same issue once [06:19] Illy. Do you use a PC or a laptop? [06:19] illy: Shouldn't be dependant uponyour router model. [06:20] router firmware upgrade worked.. im back on port 6667 :) [06:20] Hiatus, alright, but forums are really slow responders. Kemsei, Laptop. Kb1, thought that myself. [06:20] illy: What happens when you attempt to associate? [06:20] Ah. [06:20] Anyone know how i get http://brsev.deviantart.com/art/Token-128429570?offset=100#comments to work? i unziped it and made a tar file, but when i load it it sais that it's not a valid theme [06:20] illy: some how you can probably get a native Linux driver working for the wireless :) also got the Windows driver? if so ndiswarpper should be able to do that, and that can be installed from the CD some how [06:20] Kb1, It just doesnt recognize that I have a internet connection around me. [06:21] Hm... [06:21] illy: that's Ndiswrapper [06:21] I don't know what to think of that, I might need to look it up. [06:22] Er, could you explain to me about ndiswrapper? Does it install the drivers automatically to recognize the connection? And, I had the problem where I can't install stuff. How would I get it then? [06:22] And lol kemsei =p [06:22] :P [06:22] i use karmic koala and used to connect to internet using pppoeconf. how do i switch to network manager to connect to DSL: network manager says "device not managed"? [06:22] what's a good tool to benchmark/test how fast I can read and/or write to my disk? [06:22] I'm not really an expert on the hardware stuff, so. [06:23] nick [06:23] illy: it uses the inf file or whatever it was from the Windows driver and then it's set up to use it in Ndiswrapper. anyway uhm wireless isn't really my area, so good luck, and other people will be able to help you get it working in Ubuntu, I expect [06:23] ok seb =/ [06:24] vajorie : it seems to be work. should i make the change in menu.lst? [06:24] Does anybody know of an alternative for Adobe Shockwave player for Ubuntu?

[06:27] i'll go try what you said, by changing the server im gettin packages from, and then try ndiswrapper (did i spell right?) [06:28] in terminal to get ndiswrapper, i should use 'sudo alt-get install ndiswrapper' right? [06:28] And, whats a good fast reliable server to get the packages from? I was using 'Main server'. [06:28] illy: sudo apt-get [06:28] my "Applications | Places | System" bar is behind all my windows, how do i fix that?

[06:51] willluongo: im not sure. it says "msdos" on the properties menu. it has been used and the files on it are a boot system for Netbook Remix.. [06:51] ah that is most likely why [06:51] willluongo: so its worked on ubuntu before, ext3 [06:51] willluongo: can you help me fix it? [06:51] if it is ntfs, or fat32 you can't use linux permissions [06:52] what what does sudo fdisk -l show?

[06:53] well [06:54] acutally, maybe i do [06:54] i was hoping to put some photos on it to take to a store to be printed..

[06:54] is it telling you that you don't have permission? [06:54] yes [06:54] try doing it as root or sudo [06:54] found the flash file it wont let me delete [06:55] i ran gksudo nautilus, it still told me no permission [06:55] plugin i should say [06:55] skitzo: you will probably need to sudo [06:55] willluongo: i'm fairly new at ubuntu, and don't know the terminal commands to do it via sudo in terminal.. [06:56] you can gksu your file manager of choice :) [06:56] i ran gksudo nautilus, it still told me no permission [06:56] Morning! [06:56] sheena1: it is just gksu [06:57] i think [06:57] oka [06:57] willluongo: Sorry, could not change the permissions of "4299-94E9": Error setting permissions: Read-only file system [06:57] sheena1: ah [06:58] that is a different issue altogether :) [06:58] willluongo: im sooo frustrated [06:58] I wonder why it is mounted read only [06:58] is this repairable? [06:58] more than likely :) [06:58] lol! i have no idea why! i thought maybe because of the boot files? [06:58] but im too n00b to have any idea [06:58] how did you mount it? [06:58] Would it be possible to expand a linux partition with extra free space? I have ubuntu running but need more space. Now i want to allocate free space on my hd to this linux partition. Is this possible without losing all current data? [06:59] betz: yes [06:59] you can do it with gparted [06:59] betz: Certainly. Pop in a LiveCD, fire up gparted, and resize it.

[07:03] skitzo: aptitude search flash [07:04] !info libpam0g-dev | turkeyshoot i think this is what you are looking for [07:04] turkeyshoot: libpam0g-dev (source: pam): Development files for PAM. In component main, is optional.

I can SSH in there without problem, and I have searched google but the fixes don't seem to apply to me. Does anyone have any idea how to debug this? [07:07] I am getting a white screen and no desk top. What could the problem be? [07:08] sheena1: it could I suppose. [07:08] ubuntu89889: wait - is the problem you can't get nautilus or you can't get desktop?? [07:08] skitzo, that script just does what running "sudo aptitude purge [enter names of all installed flash packages here] && sudo aptitude install flashplugin-installer" in terminal would have done, that is, get rid of all existing flash packages, download the 32-bit flash player, nspluginswrapper, and the required 32-bit libraries to run flash 32-bit on x64, and installs them. if you want the x64 edition, as I mentioned before, you have to download it from Ad [07:08] obe's site. [07:08] willluongo: is there a way to override it and format it? [07:08] using bios or something? [07:08] sheena1: yeah you could reformat it [07:09] copy all your old stuff off first, I'd imagine :) [07:09] both [07:09] willluongo: its only got the netbook remix on it. i dont care if i loose it. [07:09] willluongo: but i have no idea how to format it.. [07:09] ocean, when I try to boot up, i put in my password and then I get a white screen. and nothing else.

[07:14] ubuntu89889: running nautilus when there is no desktop makes no sense. First you have to get your desktop running [07:14] sheena1: probably just didn't apply your changes :) [07:15] i think so. i thinkWrite is the command for that? [07:15] yeah [07:15] ok, how do I do that. [07:15] oCean_: ok, how do I do that? === Sabzi is now known as Smerdis [07:15] ubuntu89889: i'm no expert in that.

[07:17] colemickens: songbird is the only cross platform one I know of [07:17] I never thought I would think a windows version was good. LOL but after linux. [07:17] willluongo: /dev/sdc1 1 1022 1964253 b W95 FAT32 [07:17] but I think almost anything is better than itunes [07:18] willluongo, yeah, It requires importing as well (I'm trying to find one that avoid that) [07:18] sheena1: sudo cfdisk /dev/sdc [07:18] colemickens: what are you trying to do? [07:18] ok that worked. now do it agian? [07:19] it looks formatted, on the screen [07:19] willluongo (well truth be told) I have a mac and I'm trying to find a good alternative to itunes. Itunes refuses to close and reopen and remember my music [07:19] ok if it is formatted, can you copy files onto it now? [07:19] even after I waited 2 hours to import it earlier today [07:19] when opened, it still shows many files in int [07:20] hrm... it doesn't sound like it was formatted then sheena1 [07:20] im having trouble getting rid of this configure error "pam_misc_setenv in -lpam_misc... no" [07:20] okay. i will try agian, willluongo [07:21] Hi, I just noticed that on my upper panel, there is a user switching applet, there are status there as well...just wondering who these status are viewable to?

[07:22] thanks sebsebseb [07:22] willluongo: after "writing partition to disk", it says " No primary partitions are marked bootable. DOS MBR cannot boot this. Toggle bootable flag of the current partition" is that relevant? [07:22] you probably don't need to boot from it [07:22] datz: also it replaces shut down and log out in the system menu, where it's meant to be really [07:22] :) [07:22] datz: ,but if you want those there, remove the applet [07:22] sebsebseb: ah, interesting [07:23] datz: it's also not part of upsteam Gnome [07:23] willluongo: this isnt working and i have no idea what i'm doing wrong [07:23] datz: well they edited what was in upstream [07:23] i tried write, then tried toggling the boot to say Boot, and to not say Boot, and write both times.. [07:23] sheena1: do you mind if I PM you? [07:23] I see..just thought it was kinda strange [07:24] still, when i quit then remount the drive, it shows as files on it [07:24] no not at all!! [07:24] datz: you just come from a previous release or something? [07:24] sebsebseb: I use different releases on different pc's [07:24] YES!

[07:42] yeah, I mean you will have to type in your password when you connect to the network [07:42] but other than that it should be automatic [07:42] Oh, yeah thats fine. [07:42] oh wow [07:42] will you be on in ~hour? [07:42] lol yeah probably [07:42] okay, ill be back with results -sigh- [07:42] gl [07:43] ubuntu 9.10 after update detects the wireless connections, doesnt connect but, pls help [07:43] nay help === ardchoil1e is now known as ardchoille [07:43] >_> I don't know how to use this. I deleted something I didn't want to delete. How do I undo it? ;-; [07:43] When trying to reach my files over the web through Ubuntu One, the pages just load infinitely when clicking a file. Am i missing something? [07:43] i'm trying to get passenger and mod-php running side by side under karmic but apt wont let them be installed at the same time [07:44] its claiming that they're dependent on mutually exclusive packages [07:44] and i know this isnt the case [07:44] openros: Are your settings correct in nm-applet? [07:44] (mod-php -> apache-mpm-prefork, passenger -> apache-mpm-worker, but they both should work with either [07:44] lindar: unfortunately, it is not possible to undelete files in Ubuntu\ [07:45] >_________> [07:45] You're kidding... [07:45] lindar: It is. [07:45] lindar, if it isn't in your trash folder then you can't get it back [07:45] m0ar: its asking WPA, even i give right key it doesnt connect. [07:45] I don't know where my trash folder is. [07:45] cynical: Yes you can. [07:45] how exactly? [07:45] lindar: Add "Trash" to your gnome panel, that'll work fine [07:45] how can i detect my BSNL WLL (it is usb connection) [07:45] What are some Linux alternatives to Dreamweaver? [07:45] m0ar: how to check nm-applet [07:46] cynical: The files are still on your HDD, just emoved from the index. Using a recovering application will show them again if they aren't overwritten [07:46] openros: The networking-application in your panel === kb is now known as Guest65526 [07:46] How? ;-; [07:46] m0ar, that is how it works in windows, I was under the impression it was different in linux [07:46] openros: Check all the settings, set them as they are set in windoes. [07:46] lindar: http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/ [07:47] cynical: Oh, you have a harddrive only for linux? :) [07:47] It took me a really long time to download the thing I accidentally deleted, and I don't know where the trash folder is, and I don't know how to make it appear in my gnome thingy... [07:47] I really don't know how to work this and I'm freaked out. [07:47] cynical: No, the hardware is the same [07:47] m0ar, it was working fine with ubuntu 9.04, i did an upgrade. Prblem started from then. [07:47] any advice on overriding apt's dependencies? [07:47] lindar: If it's only that it's probably not worth it. [07:47] m0ar, i didnt change any settings [07:47] How do I find my trash can? [07:48] lindar: Apparently I was a little out-of-date on my info... last time I had investigated recovering a deleted file on an ext3 or 4 partition, there was nothing available to do it [07:48] lindar: Add it to you panel, that's easiest [07:48] hi [07:48] lindar: protip: there is no trash can [07:48] In ubuntu? [07:48] lindar: Otherwise write trash:/// in nautilus [07:48] maxhodak: Wyf, yes [07:48] maxhodak: yes there is [07:48] maxhodak: why? a given package will not work without its depends installed [07:48] HAH! There is! [07:48] >_< [07:48] lindar: some programs will save "deleted" files in ~/.local/share/Trash/ [07:48] Thank you! [07:49] enzotib: it has incorrect dependencies [07:49] (( trash:/// worked!)) [07:49] m0ar, it isn't possible to undelete if you are using ext4 [07:49] http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_undelete_files_in_Ext4.3F [07:49] lstarnes: trash:/// contains all files removed by nautilus [07:49] maxhodak: submit a bug report, then [07:49] enzotib: and it's trying to remove another package i need [07:49] erg [07:49] grr [07:49] m0ar, often it freezes if i play with the wireless settings [07:49] i'll just install it from source [07:49] which is why I love linux filesystems :D [07:49] has anyone got an ATI card actually running on ubuntu 9.10 [07:49] cynical: That's a diffrent thing. The filesystem itself can't reach the files, but the magnetical info on the disk is still there and CAN be read by certain programs [07:50] oh yes [07:50] openros: Then I don't know [07:50] I agree, but good luck getting them [07:50] My internet connection is suddenly broken somehow (maybe DNS?) I can use IRC and torrents seem to run fine, but ping google.com times out, webpages don't load and thunderbird can't connect to gmail - any ideas? [07:50] before they are overwritten [07:50] cynical: Yeah, then we agree. [07:51] cynical: Still, the guy left :D [07:51] lol yeah, I figured his problem was just finding out where trash went [07:51] cynical: It's just not worth spending ~8 hours scanning your disk for lost files if it's jsut a download :P [07:51] cynical: Rofl! [07:51] exactly [07:51] hi all [07:51] can anybody know [07:51] cynical: I thought he did a hard delete on them c: [07:51] maxkelley: You'll have to install the package manually with dpkg and use the --ignore-depends=package-name option (where package-name is the name of the package that you want to ignore) [07:51] kishore: Just ask, don't ask to ask [07:51] how to play windows games in linux [07:52] kishore: wine [07:52] http://www.winehq.org/ [07:52] !wine | kishore [07:52] kishore: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [07:52] ubuntu 9.10 broadcom BCM4312 wireless, doest work. how to solve it [07:53] openros: Have you already tried System > Administration > Hardware? [07:53] openros: Googling [07:54] Jordan_U, i did all googling, and installed a driver. Now it detects the wireless connections. but does not connect. [07:55] openros: What driver did you install and how? [07:55] openros, they show up as disabled? [07:56] if i give lshw, it gives a good output. but my laptop often freezes, and wireless connections are detected. but never connects. [07:57] Ugh. [07:57] Jordon_U, it was Broadcom B43 wireless driver. [07:57] Well, back to 9.08 Ubuntu. [07:58] I found no way to fix the damn Grub 2 loading error. [07:58] i installed, fwcutter via synaptic [07:58] seizui: WHat error? [07:59] Well, it is when you first log on Ubuntu 9.10 and the whole thing crashes. It is at GRUB loading... then it freezes. It'll eventually say: error: no device found. [07:59] openros, do you see two drivers in the driver manager? B43 and STA? [07:59] Throughout the whole week, I tried looking through the ubuntu forums on how to solve the problem. I found out how to get around it, but it takes too long to do as well. [08:00] seizui: Removing "set --fs-uuid" "fixes" it? [08:00] cynical, yes i see two driver... installing STA, removes completely the wireless options. even the light is not glowing [08:01] as far as typing c to get into the grub ( because it seems to) ---funny, I tried that, that didn't seem to work. I half-wondered if it is because that I installed it from an external DVD-rom drive that it does this to me. [08:01] you removed b43 before doing it? [08:01] hey all, could anyone please suggest a straight forward howto on getting kvm with bridged networking working, there are so many ways to doing it I am getting very confused. please note i need instructions on running kvm from command line due to bug in libvirt which does not allow it to run windows guests. thanks [08:01] seizui: What was the temporary "fix" that worked? [08:01] cynical, yes i deactivated b43 and removed it [08:02] The temporary fix was more of letting me bypass it to log on. Ho.d [08:02] hello [08:02] is ext4 stable for desktop use? [08:02] someone told me it isn't very stable [08:02] it's fine Polysics [08:02] openros: You downloaded the b43 firmware as well as the b43-fwcutter package? [08:03] i have a new shiny 500Gb HD for my laptop, i'll do a single 500Gb ext4 filesystem === Zeppelin is now known as Jaccob [08:03] is partitioning recommended any more? [08:03] other than swap, that is [08:03] andrew_46, is it from ubuntu repo... or any URL [08:03] c --- and then 'set root=(hd0,1)' and then 'linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro' and... 'initrd /initrd.img' and then 'boot' [08:03] openros, do you have the bcmwl-modaliases package installed? [08:04] cynical, yes it is installed [08:04] does bittornado handle magnet urls? [08:04] openros, try removing it and reinstalling bcmwl-kernel-source [08:04] can anybody tell me any linux games [08:04] bllz: vuze does [08:04] ok let me try [08:04] openros, then restarting of course [08:04] kishore: doom3, quake4, unreal tournament, urbanterror, quake live, alien arena, etc === opgee is now known as Hz0 [08:04] jrgp: right, but does bittornado? [08:04] bllz, another fan of piratebay i see [08:05] any one know anything about dvb-s cards? [08:05] sprung: lol what's that? never heard of it [08:05] * bllz acts innocent [08:05] bllz: dunno, install it and try it [08:05] quake live is all you need, it's like crack, only more addictive [08:05] seizui: If the error you get is "device not found", that's been fixed upstream. Just install grub-pc and grub-common from debian unstable: http://packages.debian.org/sid/grub-pc http://packages.debian.org/sid/grub-common [08:05] Hrm. [08:05] bllz, my name is Wink Wilnkeman of the MPAA, we'd like to have a look at your computer [08:06] I'll have to re-install 9.10 and deal with that then, thanks. [08:06] seizui: It's actually a bug in your BIOS [08:06] Huh? [08:06] sprung: hi Wink, I didn't realize the MPAA acted as law enforcement. PATRIOT act? [08:06] !fun | kishore [08:06] kishore: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [08:06] sprung: ;-) [08:06] sprung: also, inb4 repremand from the rest of the channel... [08:07] bllz, oh well you see we are what is known as a "shadow government" acts don't mean anything [08:07] openros: openros Should be a script installed with b43-fwcutter: /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh [08:07] sprung: Ahhh... it all makes sense now. That's why playing blu-ray on my ubuntu laptop will earn me hard federal time [08:07] seizui: Your BIOS can't understand large drives and so gives an error when grub probes for partitions. Since the boot files are *usually* within the first 130 or so GIG grub can still boot. The fix is just to make that IO error not fatal [08:08] sprung: anyway, back OT... [08:08] How to know which dvb-s2 are supported in kernel 2.6.31 or 32 is there any list ? === opgee is now known as Hz0 [08:09] Ah, I see. Thanks. [08:09] openros: I only know this as I have a bcm 4312 myself :) [08:09] seizui: np. [08:09] So, the problem lies in trying to get the BIOS updated, or...? [08:10] any ideas? --> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/344020/ [08:10] Admittedly, trying to use my Thinkpad R40 for this thing. [08:10] So this -is- kind of old. [08:11] seizui: If there is a BIOS update you can try it. You can also create a small /boot partition at the begginning of the drive or tell grub when you install to use it's own ata drivers directly rather than going through the BIOS [08:11] andrew_46, is it working for you [08:12] bllz: I don't know about Bittornado, but Transmission 1.80 will support magnet urls. [08:12] openros: Yes but I found that it worked more reliably with wicd [08:12] cynical: not in my hardware drivers i have only Broadcom STA, but it says 'This driver is activated but not currently in use' [08:12] Alright. I'll have to give this a try tomorrow. Sadly, too late to attempt anything with this thing. [08:12] geirha: I appreciate it, but unfortunately I'm stuck with bittornado as it's the client built into mythnettv === Hz0 is now known as Hehehahaha [08:13] =) [08:13] Any case, you've been very helpful, Jordan. Thanks. [08:13] seizui: np [08:13] I've got a bunch of photos on an apache hosted web page, it doens't have an index.html, it's just a bunch of .jpeg's dumped in an http://website.com/photos/ directory -- for the friends of mine who want to download all the photos, is there a way they can recursively download everything on the page? [08:13] i'm trying to print photos with photoprint on my HP printer. it's printing a line of spots, not the four pictures per page that i need it to do. [08:14] turkeyshoot: when compiling software, make sure you have required packages like build-essential and automake. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware [08:14] goose[PC], i think that's a solution you want to fix on the client side - perhaps using a firefox plugin [08:14] bllz: Well, #bittornado probably knows ;) [08:14] hello. who has used tucan manager? [08:14] Time to give this a try... tomorrow. For now, i crash. Goodnight! [08:15] baz_: yes, I know it'd have to be client side, I was just wondering how to do it :p unless I set up svn? [08:15] openros, strange, when you do lsmod do you see the broadcom module loaded? [08:15] geirha: lol somehow I failed to think of that option ... maybe it's past my bedtime! In any case, thanks! =) [08:15] live adult swim channel http://www.altavisdta.com/watch/adult-swim/ [08:15] goose[PC], fer sure there is a nice firfox plugin to download all images on a page - i dont know what specifically, but i've seen one [08:16] baz_: well, they're not embedded. it's just a file list :p [08:16] i know the question i am going to ask is offtopic but i am asking it because there r a large number of people in here. i want to try out bsd but which one do i choose?? freebsd openbsd or netbsd???? [08:16] goose[PC], is directory browsing on? [08:16] baz_: through HTTP? yes [08:16] papul, what stops you from trying them all? [08:16] Zelest, time [08:17] !best | papul [08:17] papul: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [08:17] how do I check if i have a package installed at the command line? [08:17] papul: freebsd is the closest thing you'll find to a desktop OS [08:17] bllz: aptitude show packagename [08:17] papul, netbsd if you plan to run it on your toaster.. freebsd if you plan to have a web/mail/sql server.. openbsd if you plan to have a firewall/dns server. ;) [08:17] papul: openbsd is very security oriented and netbsd is for complex networks, i believe [08:18] lstarnes: thank you! [08:18] papul, (imho of course, each to their own) [08:18] openros, can you type lsmod | grep "b43\|ssb\|wl" and see if anything is returned? [08:18] bllz: or dpkg -s packagename [08:18] lstarnes: is there any difference between the two? [08:18] bllz: aptitude also checks package info in APT repositories [08:18] bllz: dpkg only checks the local installed package database [08:18] cynical, no output [08:19] test [08:19] ok so it's not loaded [08:19] try modprobe wl [08:19] lstarnes: great thanks! one more question, how do i find the manpage? i tried man bittornado, but got nothing... I assume there's a manpage hidden in there somewhere [08:20] bllz: that should work if that is the application's name [08:20] bllz: dpkg -L package-name will list all files installed by that package, so | grep man may give a clue [08:20] geirha; great thank you [08:20] lstarnes; thank you as well! [08:20] openros, if modprobe wl doesn't work then the driver isn't properly installed. You may want to go to http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php and download/install it manually [08:21] cynical, I got Fatal error, on dmesg i get, wl: disagrees about version of symbol lib80211_get_crypto_ops [08:21] openros, ok that is more interesting [08:22] openros, do you have linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-1-generic installed? [08:23] cynical, i hav linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-16-generic installed [08:24] openros, uninstall it [08:24] openros, if it doesn't work immediately after, reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source and it should work [08:24] cynical, should i manually install broadcom driver or do this before that [08:25] openros, no you shouldn't need to if this works [08:25] cynical, removing linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-16-generic, removes so many other linux-backports-modules-X [08:26] cynical, chall i proceed [08:26] openros, if all is good you should be able to uninstall that package and reinstall the driver directly from the repositories through the bcmwl-kernel-source package [08:26] openros, yes [08:27] !bye [08:27] Au revoir! [08:27] cynical, basically what are those backports packages. [08:27] hi there. i installed a new hardisc in ubuntu server 8.10, create a partition and mkfs.ext3 the new partition. Now i want to mount it via fstab, "blkid /dev/sda1" tell me the uuid, and i want to make an entry in fstab with this uuid, but there is no symlink in /dev/disk/by-uuid for that uuid. Do i need to restart a service? Or should i create it manually? Who creates this symlinks in /dev/disk/by-uuid? THANKS [08:28] openros, backported modules = hardware drivers [08:28] openros, lots of random wireless drivers/etc [08:28] ubuntu 9.10 don't have grub on the live cd? [08:29] openros, one of the libraries in that particular module is the reason you can't load your driver [08:30] cynical, great. thanks a ton [08:30] openros, did it work? [08:30] cynical: basically those backport modules, didnt let this driver to load am i right [08:31] openros, yup [08:31] openros, does it work now though? [08:31] cynical, perfect [08:31] openros, awesome :) [08:34] Heyas, is there a guide for people switching from another distro?

[08:38] hi. I just installed Ubuntu 10.4. I'm trying to setup a lamp stack (apache, PHP and MySql). I installed pdo and pdo_mysql using pecl install xxx. After that I restarted apache and phpinfo() showed me that pdo and pdo_mysql are installed. Then I tried to install phpmyadmin using apt-get install phpmyadmin. When I restarted apache, it suddenly failed. When I looked in the error.log, I found this line: "/usr/sbin/apache2: symbol lookup [08:38] error: /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/pdo_mysql.so: undefined symbol: php_pdo_get_dbh_ce" [08:38] and this is a brand new drive. i thought one i was installing on may have been bad. got a new drive and save issue. [08:38] cynical, its working perfectly. [08:38] cynical, thanks [08:39] openros, np, I'm glad to hear it :) [08:40] Riddick: How long have you left it sit at 33%? === Sacho is now known as sacho_ === sacho_ is now known as Sacho [08:40] Riddick: also, how big is the drive? [08:41] FireCrotch: i have tried leaving it for a while. right now i think its been sitting there the last few hours. its just hung. the mouse wont move, etc. its froze. [08:41] the drive is 500Gigs [08:42] Riddick: have you tried formatting it outside of the installer? gparted for instance? [08:42] Riddick: It *could* be a memory issue [08:42] guys i made a backup of a fileserver on a pc running a live cd of ubuntu and both partitions are around 40gb each. the problem is now that the process has finished when i did right click > properties i am just getting "..." as file number and size. Is there some way to compare the folder sizes via cli please? [08:43] FireCrotch: not memory tests fine and will run windows with no issues whatsoever [08:43] lvlint67: no, i could try that. just go alt f2 i suppose to get to the console and run it [08:44] Riddick: hard drive cable? [08:44] FireCrotch: got a new one with the new drive. so i would say no. [08:45] Riddick: Have you ever previously installed Ubuntu on this same computer? [08:45] hey everyone...i have serious problem....my ubuntu cannot boot after deleting linux ext4 partition that has mount point (on /usr/local)...what should i do?? [08:46] FireCrotch: no, i have tried and failed over and over.

[08:48] <_Agent86_> could someone running ubuntu with libcurl installed do a quick check for me? [08:48] <_Agent86_> see if you have a /lib/curl dir [08:48] FireCrotch: i have never got it to recognize sata it will start the install from the sata blueray but then fail to continue when you say install so i have used a usb dvd drive to do the install and put an ide harddrive in which it does see [08:48] can u give me some examples? [08:49] so it could just be as you stated the motherbaord controllers suck on this board [08:49] and i am using netbook so i can't use live cd on it [08:49] <_Agent86_> (on gcc compile with #include , it can't find any of the normal libcurl functions) [08:49] hmmm, why would I not have a bluetooth indicator/blueman is all greyed out [08:49] Riddick: Oh, yeah, you definitely need a new mobo then :P [08:50] lazy_man: Does it drop you into a shell? You may be able to do it from there. [08:50] FireCrotch: what do you think of this board? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4408209&sku=A455-2876 [08:51] yeah that's right...now i am in recovery shell...so what should i do next? [08:52] lazy_man: vim /etc/fstab [08:53] Riddick: seems to be your average run of the mill AM3 motherboard, really [08:53] yeah but its not nforce which i think is the reason this board sucks on the machine i want ubuntu on. [08:54] its amd chipset which will probably have support [08:54] hmm....i just get message : vim: command not found....i think that must be installed first....what should i do next? [08:54] and it supports the memory and processor i already have. [08:54] lazy_man: Try nano [08:55] What is a program used for video editing? [08:55] lazy_man: Or possibly /usr/bin just isn't in the PATH, so /usr/bin/vim [08:55] Riddick: How old is the motherboard that you're trying to use? [08:55] got it last year [08:55] dn4: cinelerra [08:55] hi guys; I'm trying to set up multiseat-X. the config is pretty complicated. is the a tool to simplify the process (karmic-64) [08:57] ive got a prob with my video card [08:57] Riddick: it seems to me that it may not necessarily be that Ubuntu doesn't like your chipset, but rather that it's going bad (you might not have problems with Windows even if the chipset is crapping out) [08:57] it is said no such file or directory.... [08:57] what must i do next??? === moocow is now known as holycow_ [08:58] I have a local network and I would like to use my ubuntu installation as a server (www, ssh etc) and I would like to access the server using a local hostname rather than the ip number.

[09:07] Myrtti<< uhm X2 :S [09:07] so launcher properties should read for /bin/bash script? [09:07] Kane: depends on your video-chipset [09:07] Myrtti<< I thought all Intel proicessors were 32 bit, and all AMD were 64 bit? I guss tha isnt true [09:08] VirusTB: did you read the specifications of that processor from the amd website? [09:08] VirusTB: no, it's not true [09:08] Myrtti: I meant scriptname [09:08] Hi! is it possible to resign an existing .deb package?

[09:09] yes and when i try to save it to the x file.. it says failed to parse existing x config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:09] vsMS, i suggest you ask that in #debian, they know everything about .deb files :p [09:10] dsl_: of course it doesn't open a terminal, bash is a separate entity [09:10] Myrtti: er, sorry I'm new to this :( [09:11] dsl_: make a launcher for "gnome-terminal -x /path/to/the/script" or something like that [09:11] anyone ever heard of ubuntu netbook remix? i am having problems accessing anything ie. apps,games,utils there is nothing on the desktop that resembles a menu [09:11] llutz yes and when i try to save it to the x file.. it says failed to parse existing x config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:11] Myrtti: ah yes xterm is what I need lol [09:11] a second question: does somebody here tried to install karmic using fai? [09:11] dsl_: of course, gnome-terminal to be replaced with whatever terminal app you're using, check the needed parameter for running a script from man [09:11] hole_: huh? your entire desktop should be an app launcher [09:11] Kane: look at ubuntuforums.org, there should be a solution for that [09:11] Does it matter what Manufacture HDD's you have when making a RAID system?

[09:14] llutz, should i write sudo nvidia-xconfig and then enter or both at the same time ? [09:14] i swear i can't win aye lol [09:14] Kane: "sudo nvidia-xconfig " and then "sudo nvidia-settings " [09:14] rand_acs: You don't have grub-pc installed ( why you don't is another question ) [09:15] rand_acs: Was this a fresh install or an upgrade?

[09:16] llutz, what should that help ? [09:17] anybody? [09:17] rand_acs: Did you install the "grub" package? Because that will install grub-legacy and remove grub2 [09:17] Kane: help to solve your problems? [09:17] please help me with this problem : http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=3139927#p3139927 [09:17] typh i should type "gnome-session-proporties" in this window? [09:17] rand_acs: Try "sudo apt-get install grub-pc" and see if you can boot windows after that [09:17] i did something and now my desktop is zoomed in and follows cursor, how to get out of this :'( [09:18] Jordan_U: yes, I see that seems to be the one problem [09:18] but again, it dont [09:18] hole_: yes [09:18] Kane: have you run nvidia-settings AFTER nvidia-xconfig? [09:19] yes [09:19] Jordan_U: thanks man! seems that it found all the kernels [09:19] typh it was checked i'm rebooting [09:20] error404notfound: Hold super ( the key with a super hero cape on it, sometimes known as the windows key ;) and scroll your scroll wheel ( If I remember correctly, I don't use compiz any more ) [09:20] llutz yes [09:20] Jordan_U, thanks, i also disabled it, but i think i missed it somewhere [09:20] out of curiosity what is a segmentation fault?

[09:22] Myrtti<< thats in ubuntu right/. [09:22] VirusTB: be very, *very* careful with it though [09:22] Kane: then try "sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf && sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf && sudo nvidia-settings" [09:23] hole_: for example, you're trying to read an element in an array, but then the program reads outside of the array boundries [09:23] VirusTB: this is ubuntu channel, so we assume you're using ubuntu [09:23] i understand [09:23] rand_acs: np :) [09:23] Myrtti<< yes I am :P but the HDD I want to seel is on Windows, I'll install ubuntu on it and shred it [09:23] VirusTB: the livecd probably has shred too [09:24] Jordan_U: let's reboot and hope this works :) [09:24] VirusTB: so you don't need to install anything [09:24] Myrtti<< ah ok even better... [09:24] Myrtti<< but how long would it take to shred say 320 GB ?? [09:24] typh i still have no launcher you know a console command for [09:24] it [09:24] VirusTB: A number of hours per pass [09:24] VirusTB: depends on the rpm's of your drive, write speed, overall performance, etc. Have no clue. [09:25] VirusTB: depends on the shred-level, from "fast" to "ages" [09:25] hole_: netbook-launcher I believee [09:25] VirusTB: You can safely start it, and go have coffee/dinner/nap/cruise/whatever [09:26] i need my refresh rate to be 60 hz but its 60.02 hz, does that influence on any games i play ? [09:26] Kane: will be fine [09:27] I accidently deleted my DSL's config file from /etc/ppp/peers and cannot run pppoeconf: it gives an error "access concentrator did not respond". how do I get the config file(of /etc/ppp/peers) back? [09:27] i am gunna pastebin this it wont run because of an error [09:27] actionparsnip in 2 of my games it says cannot display this video mode, what to they mean by that ? [09:27] Flannel<< Myrtti llutz_ Thanks.. I check out the "shred" from my terminal n see what its all about [09:29] Kane: wrong resolution? [09:29] http://pastebin.com/d4c9d813f [09:30] whddya think [09:30] masaruwota, when i then try and change the resolutin and save it to the x file, wich llutz have helped me with, but i cant seem to get it right, it says: Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'! [09:30] i need to install a label printer. I've got the archive containing the driver source and unzipped it, next I need to compile it. Is there a C++ compiler in the default desktop ubuntu? I can't see gcc installed [09:31] is there a key board equivalent to clicking the mouse wheel? [09:32] dsl_: install build-essential. Are you sure though you need to compile it? [09:32] Kane: you need to match the res to your screens native res as your monitor sounds like it moans unless you use the only res it is ok with [09:32] but wait [09:32] dsl_, go to terminal [09:32] and type 'gcc' [09:32] actionparsnip im a noob to this, what ?? [09:32] Myrtti: i tried command gcc with no source file and it is installed [09:33] if you get "gcc: no input files" than gcc is installed === andi_ is now known as isolat3sh33p [09:33] Myrtti: yes i have instructions [09:33] actionparsnip, i use the one it says insight the screen and it says 1280x1024 [09:33] !cinelerra [09:33] Cinelerra is a video editor and compositor that cannot be included in Ubuntu for legal reasons. Install instructions can be found on http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu [09:33] so you just need to put the file you want to compile, in the Home folder, and run "g++ -o [09:33] Oday: yep i did that ^^, I'll try it for real now ;) [09:33] dsl_ good luck [09:34] actionparsnip, where do i find the native res ? [09:34] then type ./filename to run [09:34] with the dot [09:34] would it be possible to build new toolbars like the non remix version and if so then how? [09:34] Kane: match the res of the game to the res you run your desktop at [09:34] i cant get in the game actionparsnip [09:35] actionparsnip, is there a page on the internet where i can search for the screen i use ? [09:35] whddya think [09:35] would it be possible to build new toolbars like the non remix version and if so then how? [09:36] hole_: what do you mean new toolbars? [09:36] Kane: just look in display settings, or just run: sudo xrandr [09:36] on the original ubuntu there is a bar at the top and a bar at the bottom [09:36] The top panel is a normal gnome panel. You can right click an empty spot and do whatever you want [09:36] Kane: you may have to jump into the configs of the game to manually set the res [09:36] !directfb [09:36] Before i do that, i have another set of instructions which says do './configure' then 'make' then 'make install'. I take it this means i dont have to use gcc to compile directly? [09:37] my right click seems to be non functional [09:37] maybe you should try a different distro. I suggest Jolicloud [09:37] is there anysort of itunes like program for linux which will sync music to my ipod? [09:38] !ipod | BT [09:38] BT: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [09:38] the only reason i used this one is because my wifi worked right away no changing anything [09:38] BT: rhythmbox === adam is now known as Guest36473 [09:39] that is what i seem to have the most trouble with [09:39] thanx all [09:39] hole_: heh, that's why I switched FROM nbr to jolicloud [09:39] !spybot [09:39] May i ask a question about ubuntu? [09:39] !ask | big [09:39] big: 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. :-) [09:39] when i try to enter my display button it says: It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? [09:39] i'm using acer aspire one what u on [09:40] asus eee 1008ha [09:40] they have a list of supported netbooks [09:40] yeehaa i just figured out how to use gnome original i'm just fine now [09:40] If I use wubi to install ubuntu onto my windows Xp, then surf the net through ubuntu say using it's version of mozilla firefox, is that any safer a way (virusfree/spyware free) to surf the net? I'm not talking downloading stuff just looking around... [09:41] hole_: do you have desktop icons? [09:41] everything works fine now [09:41] not yet [09:41] but i will when i have installed everything [09:41] i want [09:41] hole_: ease up on the enter [09:41] thanx for your time and patience [09:42] BIG: you can get good safety in windows by simply not logging on with an administritive account which is the despicable default in windows [09:43] or just dont run windows. === raikou is now known as Guest46510 === Guest46510 is now known as raikou1 [09:43] If i create a user id on my PC that is not my admin account and surf the net your saying that is a lot safer/better? [09:44] when i try to enter my display button it says: It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? [09:44] Myrtti: tried ./configure but it tells me CUPs library isn't installed but Software Centre says Configure Printers gtk front end for cups is installed...is that all i need? [09:44] BIG: yes but most dont as they are either ignorant or don't like having to log off to do admin tasks [09:44] hello folks [09:44] hi indieross [09:44] dsl_: do you have the -dev packages installed? you need them to compile [09:44] oops hi indus [09:45] big: linux understands that running apps with full system access is a REALLY bad idea and uses a better user model [09:45] hi [09:45] Myrtti: er, how to tell please? [09:45] How does it make it safer? it can only harm that user? So if it did smuck up that user then you just make another? [09:46] BIG, you have to log into the admin account to install things, so it doesnt give it access to that part of the system. [09:46] BIG: ok when you are admin you have FULL system acces (read and write) as a user you only have read access systemwide but ONLY write access to your home folder [09:47] BIG: so if you run a web browser as admin it has full reign over your system and you will get issues if for example a javascript or flash app has malicious code [09:47] BIG: as a user it will only have access to your user data and will not cripple your system as you can simply log on as another user to fix [09:48] BIG: in windows most idiots log on as administrator and wonder why they get issues [09:48] BIG: running things like web browsers as admin or root and especially irc clients is massively foolhardy [09:49] so if i'm the user and it goes bad i just log in as admin and use virus scans ? [09:49] ActionParsnip, your absolutely correct on that.except that they some times dont know that, as its not explained by m$ [09:49] i_is_broke: i know but its sad [09:49] ActionParsnip, well you called them idiots, i think of them as unknowledged. [09:49] dsl_: check which cups related dev packages you've got installed either via aptitude or synaptic [09:50] BIG: you can simply drop to root recovery console, or make an extra user for troubleshooting with. Any issues you encounter will only affect ~ [09:51] i_is_broke: there are people who should know better but still do it [09:51] its one of the main reasons i switched to linux, that and i got tired of having to update my system every time there was a new windows os.coming out. [09:51] when i get a driver from the software center.. where can i go and see it ? [09:51] okay thanks action parsnip! [09:51] i know that in Compiz the setting is called "Viewport Switcher" but how do i stop my scroll wheel from changing workspaces in Openbox?? [09:51] ActionParsnip, i know i even had to set my wifes computer up that way. [09:52] hm [09:52] hi [09:52] hello [09:52] : > [09:53] so i'll make a bunch of accounts then i can switch around if i need to to fix issues, IF i'm installing something can i just switch back and forth using the Log off switch to user option? [09:53] BIG: you can right click apps in windows and select : run as then use your admin account [09:54] hey [09:54] how do I make basic text appear at the bottom of my apache directory listing [09:54] i know that in Compiz the setting is called "Viewport Switcher" but how do i stop my scroll wheel from changing workspaces in Openbox?? [09:54] like i dont have an index or anything, just a bunch of files [09:55] i want to add my own text down near where it says Apache version info [09:55] i have a laptop, so would i be downloading the desktop or netbook version of ubuntu [09:55] is it htaccess/ [09:55] ? [09:56] good4thecompany: They probably have it hard coded? Or maybe there is some config file other than their GUI settings thingy [09:56] boring [09:56] : > [09:56] "Mount of root filesystem failed. A maintenace shell will now be started." [09:56] BT: depends on the spec, netbook has a nice UI for netbooks but you can install either [09:56] Sulogin, I login. [09:56] My rootfs is mounted. [09:57] BT: desktop ill give you a deskto plike a windows desktop, netbook has a glossy UI (do some image searches to check it out). Whichever you like, install it [09:57] i think i found the problem.. [09:57] and do would a Window Rules type thing be the same, for making a certain window not show up in taskbars? [09:57] BT: desktop [09:58] okey, thanx all [09:58] oops, meant just would a window rules type thing be in there too, just to make a window not show up in task bar === Gwince_|_Work is now known as Gwince|Work [09:59] yes but if there were errors mounting it will be mounted read only [10:00] Myrtti: ok i installed all the necessary stuff and './configure' worked fine.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!

[10:21] frogzoo: lshw is there already by default [10:21] Myrtti: aright, thx [10:21] * Daughain waits for a consensus... [10:21] llutz_: checkinstall will not take compile errors away [10:21] Daughain: ok - just open a terminal & type "sudo lshw | less" [10:22] Myrtti: i know and haven't said it will. [10:22] how to install a *.deb which is using "Provides" and NOT in a repo? i just know dpkg but that cant handle "Provides" [10:23] Hey, I finaly know what model this thing is.. =) [10:23] :> [10:23] Daughain: hwinfo is a graphical interface for listing all things [10:23] indus: how do I start, or run that? [10:24] any idea why Ubuntu is eating so much RAM?

[10:24] if i go to my network toolsi have 2 protocols... why do i have that [10:24] how much ram do you have jam [10:25] JAM`: there are not 83% used completty. 83% = directly used ram + buffer + cache [10:25] <[BIOS]dnivra> can anyone see any message I send to the channel?

[10:28] Daughain: if you cant find it , just type hwinfo from a terminal prompt [10:28] dsl_: if installing outside /home you have to use sudo checkinstall (make install) [10:28] ziga: Reflection button? [10:28] yes...well i checked reflection [10:28] indus, I'm not running a browser. I've just logged in, and it was at 83% 400mb odd straight away, and it took AGES for the system tray and stuff to load. This _isn't_ normal. I usually have 150mb in use with nothing running and the computer is normally reasonably snappy. Also the programs in the system monitor are using about 3 times as much RAM as they should be. [10:28] and that was it === ari_stress is now known as pendekar_mabok [10:28] indus: I checked through before I asked. =) [10:29] i was having some input output errors with my hdd, now I can't even detect it as a device to partition it, is the hdd just dead now? [10:29] JAM`: run the updates if any offered [10:29] indus, done that already [10:29] JAM`: but linux has a way of using memory so the numbers may not seem what it is [10:29] JAM`: like iceroot said already === Onyx is now known as Guest19617 [10:30] JAM`: but if system is sluggish, check which process is doing it, use htop to check [10:30] indus, they not they way they are like they are on every other day and the whole PC is running a lot slower than it should, considering I'm running nothing other than xchat. [10:30] JAM`: install htop [10:30] indus, the CPU is not in use, it's like at 3% [10:30] it's totally a memory issue ¬_¬ [10:31] JAM`: how long has it been like this? [10:31] * nonoy\ np: Jose Mari Chan - Track 5 ( get AMIP v2.26 plug-in at http://amip.tools-for.net ) [10:31] indus, it did this last week one morning too, and it took an hour before it went back to normal. Then it didn't do it again, now it has started again. [10:32] JAM`: probably a ghost :P , but hmm check which processes are doing so, [10:32] indus, last time this happened I waited like an hour then eventually the RAM levels dropped back to normal and the PC sped up again [10:33] Ilutz: sorry I don't understand... is checkinstall a command? [10:33] indus, the processes list looks totally normal, with the exception that tings are using more RAM than usual, but it still adds up to at most 200mb, there's nothing that's shown to be using like 300 or whatever. Which is why I'm in here ;p [10:33] my hardy was giving trouble booting without "acpi=off". but with "acpi=off" i dont see any battery stats. I've looked the net, and i read something about grub-efi, but isnt that only for macbooks? im on a lenovo machine. can anyone help me with this? [10:33] JAM`: its normal, i have 200 mb used normally for nothing [10:34] JAM`: are you running any services [10:34] I have 400mb in use! [10:34] dsl_: yes, but you have to install it before [10:34] just the process list adds to 200mb [10:34] JAM`: ya hmm you should reboot ;0 [10:35] dsl_: using "make install" on systems with package-management is not a good idea. it will drive you into trouble, sooner or later. so better use checkinstall or create "real .deb" [10:35] JAM`: cant say, maybe someone else has some idea [10:35] indus, I've rebooted once already ;o [10:35] JAM`: how much ram you have, [10:35] 512mb [10:35] JAM`: ok thats not good enough really [10:36] Ilutz: sorry I'm lost now.... did you mean i have to install 'checkinstall'? [10:36] JAM`: which version of ubuntu is this,9.10? use 1 gb atleast [10:36] indus, this still shouldn't be happening, I'm running nothing [10:36] indus, it runs fine every other day than today [10:36] JAM`: yes,but linux uses mem differently [10:36] dsl_: yes, "sudo aptitude install checkinstall" and then use "sudo checkinstall" instead of "sudo make install" [10:36] indus, I can't add more RAM to this machine, it's not mine, I'm at work [10:36] JAM`:did you install htop [10:37] indus, and I'm not getting any work done ;o [10:37] JAM`: do it [10:37] I have a few questions about UEC: If I want to run OS-level virtualisation on my server(s), should I use enterprise cloud as a platform to do so? [10:37]  my hardy was giving trouble booting without "acpi=off". but with "acpi=off" i dont see any battery stats. I've looked the net, and i read something about grub-efi, but isnt that only for macbooks? im on a lenovo machine. can anyone help me get back my battery-stats with acpi=off? [10:38] Ilutz: so does 'sudo checkinstall' require info on what I'm installing [10:39] when i install software programs from ubuntu software centre, where does ubuntu put it ? [10:39] dsl_: no, it's a "make install" replacement, just fire it up in your source-directory where you would type "sudo make install". but as Myrtti said, using checkinstall won't solve any compile-errors. [10:40] Kane, do you mean the .deb packages that it downloads, or the software itself? [10:40] Is there anyway to control the t.v from ubuntu lol ? I have blutooth [10:40] Ilutz: that seemdd to work :D [10:40] can someone tell me how to connect to internet using pppoeconf in karmic?

[10:41] Ilutz: its installed, I need to do a printer install using those drivers now [10:41] dsl_: good luck [10:41] chilli0, first you need bluetooth nodes on both devices.

[10:42] two4, i cant play urban terror and it sucks [10:42] because it cant find my video mode [10:42] chilli0, you could use an infrared sender from the machine then but it gets more complicated and specific to each tv [10:42] ubuntu-tweak is great but does not work on karmic. at least the good stuffs [10:42] airtonix, How can i do that =o ? [10:42] repos. cleaning. app install etc [10:43] Ilutz: installed ok but not printing (yet)! [10:43] I am not able to run the sudo apt-get update command in the terminal. It says cannot connect to the proxy [10:43] chilli0, it's based on the principle of recording the required infrared signals into audio files and playing them back through the headphone port into a infrared sender that is plugged into your headphone port. [10:43] MASARUwota: mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/aks4 [10:43] JAM`: how many workspaces do u have [10:43] JAM`: sure no apps are running on them [10:43] chilli0, but this is offtopic [10:43] dabukalam: "sudo fdisk -l |grep sdb1" [10:43] mansa: your system has to be online before updating [10:43] airtonix, It is ? === Gary is now known as evilGary [10:44] is there a list of examples for use of UEC?

Could be something it doesn't like about the hardware configuration [10:46] llutz_: yup [10:47] dnivra_: I had added it in /etc/bash.bash.rc [10:47] JAM`: well, i said before, it s not entirely happy with 512 MB [10:47] mansa: just run that command I gave you and it should work [10:47] JAM`: but iam not sure about that, i think 512 should be enough\ [10:47] indus, it is usually though, that's the problem. And it should never be using as much as it is.

[11:47] one: this might be a good starting read as well.. it's based on an earlier version of ubuntu but most of it is still valid http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com [11:47] [BIOS]arvind, another possibility is WICD, the networkmanager alternative, which is lighter and just overall better =) [11:48] <[BIOS]arvind> MASARUwota: but I can't install anything without the internet can I? [11:48] [BIOS]arvind, you are correct [11:48] ;/ [11:49] <[BIOS]arvind> MASARUwota: I read that network manager has a bug in Karmic and doesn't work with DSL. is there any solution to this; a workaround or something? [11:49] other than dia and openoffice, what diagram tools are there? [11:49] <[BIOS]arvind> MASARUwota: I tried pppoeconf but it didn't work. [11:49] if you dont use wireless internet, you should just enable modprobe and netcfg to do the network things, like every linux distro does out of the box. :X except ubuntu, which wants to be user-friendly, and thus, some of those apps just dont work as they should.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [11:52] there you go [11:52] incorrect: you could go with something like inkscape as well.. but that's more of a vector graphics editor than a diagram tool === lulz is now known as Guest26955 [11:52] I am opening a PHP file with VIM but the syntax is not highlighted [11:52] Is it another package? [11:53] JuanJOBC2: i think you should tell vim to read it as a php file? try googling for that [11:53] ls [11:53] MASARUwota, I just did: vim myfile.php [11:53] <[BIOS]arvind> MASARUwota: I checked the documentation you gave me but well pppoeconf doesn't work; shows an error.

[11:55] anyone got any suggestions as to where to learn more about basics in linux?

[11:56] one: depends, do you want to know the graphical bits of gnome or the REAL linux things? (the command line stuff. what linux is REALLY like?)

[11:57] moreece: gnome-desktop [11:57] can any tell me how to set desktop grid so icons dont overlap vertically? keep aligned only seems to work for horizontal spacing. googling shows problems others have had but i cant see a fix [11:57] dsl_: in gnome?

[12:00] do i need to load the "Ubuntu software center through Root access to download packages? [12:00] I found this website: http://gnome-look.org, where should I click to find nice desktop themes? [12:00] well, I am editing .vimrc but no option found for syntax so far [12:00] one, no, it will ask you for the user password to run with sudo privileges [12:01] hi [12:01] JuanJOBC2: Have you installed the vim package? It's not installed by default, only vim-tiny which does not have syntax-highlighting [12:01] geirha, vim-common is alreayd installed [12:02] geirha, which one else should I sintall? [12:02] JuanJOBC2: The package called vim (just vim) [12:02] JuanJOBC2: http://github.com/crankyadmin/My-dotfiles/blob/master/vimrc grab my VimRC from that link! :D [12:03] I am installingn it now [12:03] LOL [12:03] hello eveybody,i'm new here [12:03] I just realized this is a Debian Server not a Ubuntu one [12:03] I realized when trying to do sudo apt-get :) [12:04] debian uses apt-get, infact its where it came from [12:04] !hi|bbeikke [12:04] bbeikke: Hi!

[12:25] GNUtoo: then again, you could also try gnash or swfdec which are of course natively 64-bit, being open source and all [12:25] MASARUwota: java application in firefox, when gives sound message, system sound is aborted [12:25] GNUtoo: or use the gnu GNASH app. but dont bother if you actually want to use flash, as its in heavy development [12:26] zozo: so java doesnt give you any sounds? normal sound works fine? [12:26] GNUtoo: Do you have problem with flash? [12:26] REGISTER 210689bota rjbgbo@aol.com [12:27] Twinkletoes|W: you can try writing a script? [12:27] MASARUwota, personnaly I use gnash but the person who asked me to install ubuntu wants flash [12:27] After updating to Ubuntu 9.10 (and thus to GRUB 2) on a dual boot system I can boot with no problem in Linux, but can't boot into Windows... Try update-grub and it reports finding Windows, but then when I reboot it fails. The only feedback I get is 'GRUB' [12:27] MASARUwota: I can do that if that's the proper way. [12:27] hello [12:27] Twinkletoes|W: there is no proper way [12:27] MASARUwota: I was thinking that maybe I'd edited the wrong file or sometihng [12:27] MASARUwota: java gives sound, but other apps sound are stopped [12:27] !hi|nelson [12:27] nelson: 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! [12:28] zozo: so ONLY java works? O.o [12:28] on a confgure i get this checking for KDE... configure: error: [12:28] ... check for kde bla bla bla [12:28] How do I enable CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE? [12:28] Twinkletoes|W: if you edit network conf, your network will die. makes sense IMO [12:28] MASARUwota: yes, but I have to restart other apps to get sound again [12:28] !x11|Kottizen [12:28] Kottizen: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [12:29] nelson_: What version of KDE? [12:29] MASARUwota: I couldn't find any info that said changing /etc/network/interfaces would immediately kill the network, I sort of expected the network to die only when I restarted it [12:29] !dontzap | Kottizen [12:29] Kottizen: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [12:29] Slart: Thanks. [12:29] crankyadmin, i dunno. i want one to be able to install a program [12:29] Hmm that gdm factoid needs updated to use 'sudo service gdm restart' or 'sudo service kdm restart' [12:29] Kottizen: you're welcome [12:29] Twinkletoes|W: well, it seems that network deamon in ubuntu checks the file continuesly ;/ [12:29] Dr_Willis has returned~! [12:30] MASARUwota: Yup - it seems I learnt the hard way - thank you :) [12:30] Kottizen: that enable alt-ctrl-bs is also a little different in 9.10 then in 9.04 [12:30] Kottizen: if your using karmic then http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-enabledisable-ctrlaltbackspace-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic.html [12:30] MASARUwota: No i havent. :) [12:30] nelson_: Fragmented sentence could you rephrase please? [12:30] Dr_Willis: damn .... [12:30] Hi all, i having problems with the Wireless network configuration in Kubuntu. I am trying Manually with ifconfig, how i know the IP i have o insert? [12:30] i dont think dont zap works in karmic ,anyways it didnt work [12:30] matteo1990: do you have DHCP? === leon is now known as Guest92186 === Guest92186 is now known as obrik [12:31] crankyadmin, i want to fix this http://pastebin.com/m25f78b17 [12:32] MASARUwota: yes, only java sound works, until restart the other app: like mediaplayer [12:32] indus: theres different ways to enable it in 9.10 - i ve seen some web pages with info. but cnt find them [12:32] By the way the computer is an HP with windows 7,and has 4 partitions used...and I want a swap partition for performance reasons...how can I handle that? I create the fifth extended partition and put rootfs and swap inside? [12:32] nelson_: You need the KDE development libs [12:33] crankyadmin, i have that :) [12:33] GNUtoo: you already have a swap partition, ubuntu requires one ;/ [12:33] GNUtoo: The extended partition has to be one of the 4 primary partitions. You can create your "logical" partitions inside the extended one [12:33] dont zap is nonsense [12:33] IPv6 disabled in Ubuntu 9.10, IPv6 (AAAA) DNS queries are still being performed.... on another computer with an older Ubuntu and IPv6 enabled, only IPv4 (A) DNS queries are performed... should I reinstall Ubuntu 8.x? [12:33] !alsa|zozo [12:33] nelson_: Is there a problem with the kaffeine packages in the repos? [12:33] zozo: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [12:33] crankyadmin, i got it doing apt-get install kde-devels [12:33] Twinkletoes|W, ah ok I thought the limit was 5 primary....sorry [12:33] cant we do this from keyboard shortcuts? [12:33] Dr_Willis: [12:33] GNUtoo: And yes, you can have swap/rootfs in the extended partitions, but grub will still need to be installed to the MBR [12:33] geirha, i dont think so why? [12:33] Twinkletoes|W, ok [12:34] indus: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-enabledisable-ctrlaltbackspace-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic.html [12:34] nelson_: Just wondering why you are trying to build it yourself [12:34] hello [12:34] nelson_: are they in your path? Because configure can't find them.... hence why it fails [12:34] basically I don't know windows 7 or hp at all...I'll pastebin the partition layout [12:34] indus: thers some gnome keyboard settings somewhere that can enable it. I recall [12:34] nelson_: apt-get build-dep kaffeine # will probably fix you up [12:34] how can I use screen keyboard? [12:34] geirha, you wont find it compiled [12:34] So I'm installing sBNC, it tells me that it's installing at /home/sbnc, but it installs at #/sbnc I think, how does this come? [12:35] geirha, done that build dep also [12:35] i have poppy sounds in games like Smokin Guns and Regnum Online, in the latter the sound goes off totally in the end. How can i fix it?

[12:37] and pulseaudio should be the culprit in my opinion [12:37] or alsa [12:37] Shogoot: have you tried? [12:37] Shogoot: i think this is more of a #openoffice.org question [12:37] yeah... /usr/local/lib [12:38] but in prevoius ubuntu there havent been such a problem [12:38] and /usr/lib [12:38] MASARUwota gotcha. theyr not responding at all ;) [12:38] where pulseaudio werent defualted [12:38] Shogoot: like always :X [12:38] Shogoot: or do you have a reason to believe it isn't possible?

[13:42] !bash [13:42] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [13:42] Hello why does this happen ? http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=1067 ( the alert is up second down somehow ) [13:42] MASARUwota: U sure it is? Then why can I run it without a JRE installed? [13:42] remember the days of msn chat the moderater bots werent even this quick [13:42] Quan-Time, that sort of attitude is not welcome here either. please read the guidelines wiki page. [13:43] there are dpkg working in the background, how to kill it? [13:43] o.O [13:43] sudo kill [13:43] Scott_: yeah [13:43] wow is this ubuntu? [13:43] LOL (I dunno) [13:43] name it [13:43] it was such a long time I saw the ubuntu gui last time.. [13:43] kde? [13:43] Quan-Time: I think he's an operator in this channel and want to show his power. [13:43] j416, Are you talkin to me ? [13:43] the default gui for ubuntu is Gnome [13:44] I was just asking generally [13:44] Hi. Sorry for re-asking, I got no reply. I have windows 7 pre-installed on my laptop. I would like to install ubuntu in parallel, but I do not want grub to be my MBR; in other words, I want windows to have the MBR where I have 2 choices, either windows 7, or ubuntu grub. Does anyone know if this can be done, and how? [13:44] Johnaha: http://imgur.com/VLXYn.png [13:44] your screenshot looks nic [13:44] nice* [13:44] j416: :D lol yeah thats ubuntu [13:44] !who | j416 [13:44] j416: 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 :) [13:44] but it also has a lot of other desktop interfaces as well [13:44] Hi im looking for a way to not show any apps that uses mono in the repos. How do i achieve that? [13:44] Lottizen - any suggestion? [13:44] airtonix: apparently it didn't get lost [13:44] power and authority [13:44] hi! i'm having a really weird problem with my ethernet connection [13:44] *Kottizen [13:44] airtonix: and it was a general question for anyone to answer :) [13:44] Kottizen: elky still going ? already made my ignore list.. its called maturity.. just ignore em.. mucho easy.. [13:44] nobbit_the_crc: Hmm, nope, I'm sorry. :( [13:44] hi im trying to install world of padman and it keeps giving me the error "no perrmissiont o write to usr/locla/games. how would i fix this. [13:45] Quan-Time: move on yourself [13:45] me too lol [13:45] Quan-Time: Good idea, didn't think about that, thank you. [13:45] j416, also try to keep your msgs on one line [13:45] !tab | airtonix [13:45] airtonix: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [13:45] :) [13:45] hm [13:45] Hmm, must be a plugin. I dont have it. [13:45] Kottizen, Quan-Time in general ignoring operators is a Bad Idea [13:45] when i boot by manually appending acpi=off before boot, i can see my battery stats and suspend is possible. if however i make a permanent change to menu.lst by appending acpi=off, both the battery stats as well as suspend features get turned off. What is the difference between these two approaches? [13:45] chilli0: i looked at your image, im not sure what im ment to be seeing [13:45] i already tried: $sudo dhclient eth0 [13:45] and it works [13:45] j416, yes i am well aware how tab completion works thanks :) [13:46] indus? [13:46] and... [13:46] I need to be able to send mail from php to my external smtp with TLS-auth. How can I do this? [13:46] airtonix: I didn't know what !tab was, the message told me to use it so I tried. :) [13:46] Quan-Time, Top right The alert isnt at top [13:46] btw, what are u using? looks sleek =) [13:46] oh well, bye people [13:46] Johnaha: though it was monodevelop-python (thats what it is in OpenSUSE) If you can find it, try it you'll never look back. [13:46] ok, so I will try again. Is this (gui chilli0 posted) kde? [13:46] ok. [13:46] j416, if you want to test out the bot commands i reccomend sending it a private message where you can experiment with it in private [13:46] When I do manage to break out my crypto disks from this problem, I get "ginit: upstart-udev-bridge main process (481_ terminated with status 1." So that seems to be the root problem. Though I don't know what this is. [13:47] hi im trying to install world of padman and it keeps giving me the error "no perrmissiont o write to usr/locla/games. how would i fix this. [13:47] chilli0: what alert.. the motorola connection one ? [13:47] sorry i am having some problems with my Internet.... .. my problem is i have ubuntu 9.10 installed and its maximums resolution i can change from system--> prefe--> display is 800x600. i want to use it in 1024x768 resolution. my graphich card is 82G33/G31 Express [13:47] r00t_: try sudo [13:47] I wish to make sure im no "covered" by the new patent deal from microsoft. How do i make sure i have nothing using mono on the system, and i wish not to be able to install it either. [13:47] airtonix: well, you basically told me through that message to use !tab, and I did, using the same syntax as you did. :) [13:47] sorry. [13:47] manjula: correct drivers ? usual suspect [13:47] j416, Thats gnome [13:47] zoug: r00t@Public-WiFi:~/Desktop$ sudo worldofpadman.run [13:47] sudo: worldofpadman.run: command not found [13:47] chilli0: oh .. cool. Default? [13:48] Quan-Time, Yes . It shouldnt be there ( it should be up ) [13:48] j416, no the general point of the !who message is to notify people that prefixing names helps reduce the confusion in the channel [13:48] j416, Yep [13:48] r00t_: ./worldetctetc.run [13:48] airtonix: I am aware. Thank you. [13:48] How can you add a bash-script to Gnome session manager? [13:48] i installed lighttpd under ubuntu 9.10 and want to limit the www-user so he can only access the /var/www folder. how can i do that? [13:48] r00t_: try that [13:48] chilli0: neat.. might check out ubuntu again then for a desktop :) [13:48] Quan-Time, i have installe xserver-xorg-intel [13:48] soopos, pretty much the same way you would in a desktop launcher [13:49] crankyadmin: I cant find it [13:49] chilli0: umm.. im not sure of the exact way to mod it honestly. theres prolly some setting to give it a new cord.. but i cant help. its only there for like 3 secs max tho isnt it ? [13:49] Johnaha: hold up I'll have a\ look. [13:49] manjula: and have you manually added any new res sizes to your xorg.conf file ? [13:49] zoug: still saying it has failed permissions... [13:49] crankyadmin: ^^ [13:49] Quan-Time, there is no xorg file [13:49] r00t_: make it executable by its properties [13:49] k [13:50] airtonix: How can you add a bash script to a desktop launcher? [13:50] r00t_: chmod +x worldetcetc.run [13:50] manjula: umm. ok [13:50] I need to be able to send mail from php to my external smtp with TLS-auth. Is this possible? [13:50] soopos: create a launcher for a terminal application that runs the script [13:50] soopos, notice the "command" field ? it expects a absolute path to the script. [13:50] Quan-Time, Look here Its something with gnome [13:51] Myrtti: How can you create a launcher? [13:51] how do i open .run files? [13:51] manjula: /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?? [13:51] Johnaha: Should be some help to you. http://audidude.com/blog/?p=49 :D [13:51] Quan-Time, there is not such file [13:51] filipje1993: try "sh blabla.run" [13:51] Quan-Time, there is no such file [13:51] soopos, http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/35078/screenshot_003_0gVdtP.png [13:51] manjula: interesting. [13:52] Quan-Time, yeah thats the problem [13:52] chilli0: ok.. umm.. im honestly not sure. [13:52] r00t_: you can do it by right-clicking it and then select properties and then check the "allow exexuting.." OR chmod 755 worldofpadman.run [13:52] hi all [13:52] manjula: so your in gnome / kde / some environment currently ? [13:52] soopos, you need to make sure your script has the correct enviroment engine header. [13:52] gnome [13:52] Quan-Time, gnome [13:53] reading [13:53] airtonix: How can you start up the given program from terminal [13:53] Quan-Time, Let me show ya See where the volume is ? Thats where the other alert should be http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=76346 [13:53] kk. umm.. not a intel gfx user so im honestly not sure. tried the forums ? [13:53] can some one suggest ubuntu vs mint [13:53] hi [13:53] shashike: OpenSUSE [13:54] Slart: cant open blabla.run [13:54] why openSUSE>> [13:54] soopos, 1) script needs appropriate script engine header, 2) script needs its executable bit set on 3) simply enter the path and file to the script and press enter (or just the filename if you are in the same directory as the script ) [13:54] is it possible to have latest version of software, without update to new release, for example i have 8.10 but want to install pidgin 2.6.4 , [13:54] chilli0: heh. its an alert.. its incase something else is there.. so its perm lower. you can swap them around, but i dont think they can occupy the same space.. incase you have the vol slider up, and you get some alert.. its to prevent conflicts im guessing [13:54] shashike: Dosen't treat you like you dumb. [13:54] chilli0: i cant 100% guarantee that, BUT its a fairly safe bet [13:55] Hey guys, i want to make my panel transparent, but the pidgin icon has white background, can i change that? [13:55] john11: ofcourse you can chk synaptic if it has it [13:55] I have errors while starting karmic. please have a look in this pic and read not too http://twitpic.com/uheqf [13:55] soopos, maybe this will help you start : http://www.go2linux.org/starting-with-shell-script [13:55] filipje1993: then you've probably spelled it wrong or something.. Blabla isn't the same as blabla in linux [13:55] filipje1993: use tab to autocomplete.. [13:55] ? [13:55] airtonix: It is gnome-session-properties [13:56] Hey guys, i want to make my panel transparent, but the pidgin icon has white background, can i change that? [13:56] soopos, yes that is what you run for the session editor.. [13:56] zoug: no new version availabe at add remove software [13:56] Slyone, re-compile pidgn with your own options [13:56] Slyone: yes.. you can manually choose its icon.. if you grab some icon you want.. say google images.. edit it in gimp, set a "alpha" channel.. and it will be transperant [13:56] Slyone: I don't think that's possible, maybe recompiling pidgin from source [13:56] noone knows about mail and tls-auth [13:57] ive done it with utorrent and RUSHftp,, works fine [13:57] But the icon is not a shortcut [13:57] true.. you can edit the icon it uses [13:57] Quan-Time, unfortunatly not all programs behave this way [13:57] john11: download the latest from the website [13:57] ??????????????????? [13:57] serious ? thats weird.. [13:57] sorry for the dud info ! [13:57] Quan-Time, yes (it would be desired) [13:57] is http://packages.ubuntu.com/ down ? [13:57] ive done it twice, worked fine each time.. err.. umm.. honestly not sure then [13:58] i use pidgin, but i dont click it.. it just starts in my session.. no worries [13:58] Quan-Time, some do so its not totally misleading [13:58] yep its down. CQ [13:58] and it matches my setup scheme.. [13:58] wont let me install, other dependices conflicts? [13:58] airtonix: still.. not nice when i give advice and its wrong [13:59] CQ: Its up.... [13:59] heterosankari: is there any other way to find out what the latest virtualbox version isß I have 3.0.12 installed, on teh website 3.1.2 is out ... [13:59] Quan-Time, its not really because of the icon though, its how the apps sets itself up in the system tray. [13:59] damn, im gonna choose a diffrent ide. [14:00] crankyadmin: weird... maybe it's just eternally slow today [14:00] Quan-Time, other annoying apps the at do this : beagle, gMusicBrowser, various panel applets... [14:00] CQ: It is slow..... [14:00] oh wait.. pidgin is a LIVE icon thing. it changes per your status, etc.. [14:00] prolly why you cant do anything about it [14:00] makes sense now [14:01] Quan-Time, no. see above. those status icons come from your icon theme [14:01] airtonix: serious ? weird. either way. [14:01] Quan-Time, vis : http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/35079/screenshot_004_HckC8n.png [14:02] is anyone using testdrive and testing Lucid [14:02] airtonix: weird. that would drive me nuts [14:03] Scott__: ask in #ubuntu+1 [14:03] Quan-Time, true, i gave up long time ago wanting a transparent panel. [14:03] ok [14:03] sorry i am having some problems with my Internet.... .. my problem is i have ubuntu 9.10 installed and its maximums resolution i can change from system--> prefe--> display is 800x600. i want to use it in 1024x768 resolution. my graphich card is 82G33/G31 Express [14:03] airtonix, you could use awn and make it fold out like the panel.

[14:07] judgen u had nvidia card that gave 75hz its not essential but would have been nice to have the option [14:07] -x [14:07] manjula: you can get help by typing man xorg.conf if you plan to create one [14:08] Quan-Time: it's created on the fly [14:08] jas72z, true.

That's why it's not installed by default [14:11] ill remember that [14:11] linduxed: I have no idea why it isn't installed together with plain vim.. perhaps both kubuntu and ubuntu use the same base package [14:11] manjula: to create any file in linux, just touch filename [14:11] nelson_: export PATH=$PATH:/new/path/to/add [14:12] manjula: for system files, sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:12] Spage: Welcome to the world of bad Java programming.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [14:38] jdhp, you can open a terminal and type sudo nautilus if you are on gnome or sudo dolphin on kde [14:39] coz, jdhp: never use sudo with gui stuff.. use gksudo instead [14:39] like i want to get to my themes folder so can add some but i need to be in root [14:39] coz_: using sudo instead of gksu on graphical apps is a blasphemy [14:39] dunno why though :f [14:39] !gksudo [14:39] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"!

[14:42] jas72z, add www.sky.fm and www.di.fm [14:42] matteo1990: It is also possible the network manager system ubuntu has set in place is interfering with your console efforts [14:42] epinky, http://pastebin.com/mc84feb1 [14:43] thankyou everyone [14:43] soreau maybe... How to set the wireless connection in your opinion (under Kubuntu) [14:44] wicd is also a decent alternative to manage the network settings [14:44] matteo1990: If you can use the network manger applet, use it [14:44] !netsplit [14:44] !netsplit [14:44] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[14:50] still trying to get eebuntu jaunty to startup without intervention needed for nm-applet. I deleted the keyring, restarted, specified a new password which is the same as login password. Hasn't made any difference. what gives? [14:50] richthegeek1: No it is not short output and yes there is a need [14:50] richthegeek1, It was over 3 lines so yes it does [14:50] soreau: if it was 300 lines then sure but you're just being petty. I try and get help and you kick me from where I'm getting it? [14:50] StrangeCharm: Release ISOs never change. (One exception was 8.04.1, I think, but even that was a new release.)

[14:51] wtf? xD [14:51] grawity, how can i build an iso of the release with the fix included? [14:51] soreau: i know how to use a pastebin, just the channels I frequent are less strict about "X lines is too many". Seriously, arbitrary rules don't help anyone esp when no-one else was talking when i pasted [14:52] grawity: yes - the machine is to be used in a shop as a display, so I want restart without intervention [14:52] scunizi: nothing happens when i run sudo tasksel... a window appears to choose the apps... checked LAMP server and clicked OK but nothing happened [14:52] richthegeek1, the rules are not arbitrary. read the guidelines the bot directed you to read [14:52] jt1234: When autologin is enabled, Ubuntu _cannot_ know what is your login password, and so cannot unlock the keyring either. You must remove the keyring's password completely for it to be unlocked. [14:52] richthegeek1: they are only arbitrary when you are not use to them. [14:52] grawity, the bug is in the installer. how can take advantage of the fix? [14:52] Can someone help me with my internet connection? [14:52] richthegeek1, Its in the guidelines so to bad.

Plus, is there something stronger than lsusb? [15:14] inkbottle: is it picking it up in dmesg? [15:14] inkbottle: dmesg | grep keyboard [15:14] richthegeek1, the best thing that can happen is that you get herpes, while flashing BIOS? :-) [15:15] richthegeek1: u the only one answering hah tonight? [15:15] interesting [15:15] richthegeek1, ok i do that [15:15] i'll pass on BIOS upgrade, laptop that only sees 3Gb > costly doorstop [15:15] hello, where are the icons of nautilus located in ubuntu 9.10? [15:15] MAEL: apparently so.. they hate me when I flood but refuse to talk to the plebs [15:15] nobody? I'd love to get this fixed. [15:16] victor__: ~/.icons, /usr/share/icons [15:16] bzSmari: whats your issue? [15:16] anyone has a good theme to recommend? something blue and light :-) [15:16] Polysics: icons, go for Meliae [15:16] hi all. can anyone tell me how i install the KDE themes in ubuntu 9.10 ? [15:16] richthegeek1: what is plebs? [15:16] Polysics: but I use Dust for windows and such so its quite dark [15:16] ionut: you can't [15:17] i hate Human === wet-chan is now known as wet [15:17] MAEL: the "little" people - ie, not the other developers... the worst thing about open source is the user/dev divide [15:17] i basically hate gnome's looks, so no solution unless i decide to cross to the other side [15:17] Polysics: try Dust - its dark but nice [15:17] What command opens a program i want? I want to make a keyboard shortcut to open system monitor but i dont know the command to open system monitor [15:17] Does the Kubuntu alternate install CD support hardware RAID just like the Ubuntu one? [15:17] Polysics, check out emerald and its themes [15:17] richthegeek1, it seems it doesn't, I already have a keyboard on ps2, and in dmesg, i'vez got only one one line with 'keyboard' [15:17] Dacvak: try having the system monitor in your top panel? [15:17] inkbottle: try only connecting one keyboard [15:18] richthegeek1: why i can't ? [15:18] ionut: different theme engines for the most part. You will have quite big issues [15:18] richthegeek1, I need the actual command, cause im running netbookremix [15:18] Hi, I'm trying to add a partition to a degraded RAID10 array using mdadm. I'm running "mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdb3" and it gives the error "/dev/sdb3 not large enough to join array" - but it *is* large enough - it's exactly the same partition layout (and disk model) as the other 3 disks in the array. Am I missing something? [15:19] how to change Sound Preferences layout to one from jaunty (like in windows) [15:19] ? [15:19] Dacvak: google it? [15:19] tried [15:19] i might just install KDE [15:19] couldnt find an7thing [15:19] not used KDE in a loooooong while [15:19] Polysics: ++ [15:19] does anyone know the command to open any random program? [15:19] Polysics: nooooo [15:20] In Karmic my sound gives a loud crack just before it starts playing, how can I fix this? [15:20] Hi everybody [15:20] crankyadmin, using KDE too? === mrnicelupe is now known as sAnta89_ [15:20] ok devs [15:20] Polysics: Yeah 4.4 beta 1 [15:20] bye bye [15:21] How long should an encrypted swap partition of 1GB take to start during the boot process? (Yes, I know this is a vague question. I'm looking for a ballpark figure.) [15:21] not sure if this is the place for this sort of question but has anyone given Songbird a try? [15:21] richthegeek1: thanks for being helpful, with love maan [15:21] creature: encrypted swap? [15:21] MAEL: np, bye [15:21] Norse_Nemo, used Songbird for a hwhile, not bad [15:21] creature, short, I boot in 1 min with encrypted swap [15:21] richthegeek1: Yes. I'm not sure what your implicit question is here. [15:22] creature: why encrypt your swap? [15:22] richthegeek1, I upgraded to Karmic Koala on my EeePC 1005HA and since then the wireless hasn't worked. I've followed various guides to no avail. Currently the driver is loaded (ath9k, it's an AR9285 device), but the device is "not ready". [15:22] creature: just interested, don't have a clue how long it should take to swapon [15:22] richthegeek1, no difference: with the ps2 keyboard unplugged or unplugged, it is both the same output; I'll try that again later, for now I can't :) See you later [15:22] Polysics, did you use it with either an Ipod or Zune? [15:22] whoops. :P [15:22] Norse_Nemo, iPod Nano 2nd gen [15:23] that unfortunately died on me a while ago :-) [15:23] richthegeek1: swap's essentially memory, so it gets sensitive details written to it. Passwords, credit card details, open files, that kind of thing. === Aiya is now known as SantaBunny [15:23] now i have an iPhone but i use iTunes for that [15:23] richthegeek1: So the answer to 'why' is somewhere between 'peace of mind' and 'paranoia'. [15:23] how to change Sound Preferences layout to one from jaunty (like in windows)? [15:23] Polysics, :P cool about to give it a tr I am hoping it works with both and with multiple devices [15:24] creature: protected memory spaces means nothing else can read it (technically), and swap gets wiped [15:24] bzSmari, take a look at linux4one distro. I think they support that eeepc too [15:24] i never had more than a single Apple device at a time :-) [15:24] creature: and if you a reasonable amount of RAM swap doesn't even get used [15:24] Scott__, I'm not sure in fact, I timed it once with encryption, I dont know if it was a lot faster without it [15:25] How to change Sound Preferences to those from Jaunty (on Karmic)? [15:25] i have a 8 Gig IPod for when I work out and go on mission and a 120 gig zune for when I travel. I have yet to find software the will work with both at the same time [15:25] pkkm: System->preferences->sound [15:25] richthegeek1: Well, if "they've" got access to a running system you're probably out of luck anyway. If the power gets yanked, though, you can read data out of a swap partition fairly easily. [15:25] hello. how can i make my windows partitions automatically mount when i boot on ubuntu (9.10) ? [15:25] Norse_Nemo, which ones have you tried ? [15:26] creature: how doi view data froma swap partition? [15:26] creature: I suppose... seems quite an odd level of paranoia [15:26] !fstab | burg [15:26] burg: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [15:26] iwconfig wlan0 ap (address) seems not to change my wireless access point settings, and it still is "not associated".. any tips? [15:26] creature: if they are in a position to yank your power they'll just twat you with a wrench till you *tell* them the passwords [15:26] Aero-clone gtk2 theme, just 400KB to make my desktop aero like;) [15:26] has anyone had an error with world of padman after conecting toa server "disconected,impure pk3 files specified." [15:26] In Karmic my sound gives a loud crack just before it starts playing, how can I fix this? [15:26] airtonix: Banshee, Rythmbox and Amerok [15:26] hi. does anyone know a way to control an ipod on *buntu? I mean, iTunes doesn't exactly come with a linux version [15:26] Norse_Nemo, any others ? [15:26] Dynetrekk: what model iPoD? [15:27] richthegeek1: Ah, that's the joy of it, though! Because you never need to remount swap (it gets cleared on boot) you use /dev/urandom as the key. [15:27] richthegeek1: ipod nano, the wide one (before the current one I think) [15:27] airtonix: I wasnt aware of any others the work with both [15:27] richthegeek1: does it matter? [15:27] Dynetrekk: rhythmbox can do it [15:27] richthegeek1: Same for /tmp. dm-crypt has options for both – tmp just makes a new filesystem on each boot. [15:27] Is it possible to do "apt-get install " on ubuntu 8.04 ?Has it reached end of life? [15:27] Dynetrekk: Rhythmbox can't do iPod touch or iPhone, it can do all others [15:27] richthegeek1: ah right. no problem then, [15:27] Dr_Willis: ^ [15:27] !partitions [15:27] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [15:27] Hey, I'm used to windows and Uh You had to download codecs in order to watch torrents movies. Do i have to On ubuntu as well ? [15:27] Norse_Nemo, also : (the underlying problem with those two players (ipod without rockbox) is that they do not expose their music files like a normal external hard drive would. [15:27] creature: what is so important that you have to go to this level of security? [15:27] richthegeek1: yes but only one at a time once you sync one device that is the only device you can sync [15:28] creature: simply by not using Windows you're ahead of 99% of all users [15:28] Norse_Nemo, has your ipod touchjed itunes 9 yet ? [15:28] iwconfig wlan0 ap (address) seems not to change my wireless access point settings, and it still is "not associated".. any tips? [15:28] airtonix: never [15:28] Linux-IRC: ones past EOL are moved to some other servers you may need to change your sources.list file I belive [15:28] Norse_Nemo: are you sure? I'm sure I've used my shuffle and classic on the same machine [15:28] airtonix: never touched any Itunes [15:28] hi. i am trying to mount a windows share and i am getting: unable to mount read - write .. any ideas how to mount it please? [15:28] Norse_Nemo, (make sure it doesn't) with that out the way : try out floola [15:29] richthegeek1: I appreciate the knowledge that if my computer gets swiped it's solely a material loss, and I don't have to worry about losing sensitive data. [15:29] Hey, I'm used to windows and Uh You had to download codecs in order to watch torrents movies. Do i have to On ubuntu as well ? [15:29] airtonix: certainly will, thank you [15:29] yancho: Are you sure your firewall is set up to allow remote access/ [15:29] Norse_Nemo, thats one suggestion (im not sure if it works with the zune), there are others that might do both [15:29] creature: criminals can linux? [15:29] Dr_Willis: Will it work on ubuntu 8.04 , "apt-get install " [15:29] ? [15:29] Hi is there any easy way to make ubuntu load faster ? [15:29] skylar, probably [15:29] richthegeek1: mabey multi Ipods work but not Ipods and MTP devices together [15:29] chilli0, ext4 [15:29] In Karmic my sound gives a loud crack just before it starts playing, how can I fix this? [15:30] richthegeek1, creature: some companies have a policy the computer harddrives have to be encrypted, no matter what OS is used. [15:30] Anyway, my core question is as follows: my Ubuntu 9.10 system seems to 'stall' on boot due to something with my crypto disks (I have swap and /tmp encrypted using dmcrypt). I get "Starting init crypto disks..." then "cswap (starting)". Things seem to stall at this point. [15:30] Norse_Nemo: seriously, Rhythmbox only copies files over, doesn't do syncing... do you mean at the same time (both connected at same time) or simply on the same machine at different times? [15:30] If I tap Ctrl+C, and escape, and enter a few times then it seems to 'unstall', and the system will start properly, complete with swap. But if I just leave it, it never starts. [15:30] trijntje, Done . Its 1min boot time thats sloww [15:30] When I do manage to break out my crypto disks from this problem, I get "ginit: upstart-udev-bridge main process (481) terminated with status 1." [15:30] creature: did you upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic? [15:30] do i have to install paudev to get karmic to output sound to 2 soundcards? [15:30] No, this is a fresh install. [15:31] with which tool can i edit pdf files? [15:31] each time i hit cntrl alt backspace my copmuter does something funny,whats up with that? [15:31] Norse_Nemo, I know that songbird has ipod management plugin, and it seems that : http://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/topics/zune_support_with_songbird [15:31] richthegeek1: same machine different times, for now I have aother user account for my Zune but I would like to do both on the same user account [15:31] r00t_: thats a global command for rebooting the X-server [15:31] creature: oh ok. I know there's a discrepancy on how the encryption issues are handled with upgraded systems [15:31] r00t_: useful for various reasons but probably something you dont want to do. You can disable it if you want to know how? [15:31] Daughain: i am managing to connect to it from the GUI [15:32] how could i shut down apache on a particular day/time? i'm thinking a cron, but does the cron itself have "/usr/bin/service apache2 stop" or does the cron point to a bash file that has that command? [15:32] NoiseEee: use "at" [15:32] i am having some problems with amarok.it gives me this error: Phonon: KDE's Multimedia Library - The audio playback device VIA 8236 with ALC655 (VIA 8237) does not work.Falling back to default.what is the problem ? [15:32] NoiseEee: point cron at a .sh file, or just call /etc/init.d/apache2 stop [15:32] yancho; On the windows box, is the firewall set for remote access?? I;ve had to go and manually set my windows box firewall to allow emote access on the local LAN. [15:33] NoiseEee: cron does not have any commands of its own, it just reads every line in your crontab and executes it as if you typed it. [15:33] llutz: at? [15:33] chilli0, In that case I dont know, i'm not much of a tweaker [15:33] richthegeek1: at [15:33] iwconfig wlan0 ap (address) seems not to change my wireless access point settings, and it still is "not associated".. any tips? [15:33] Daughain: but since im connecting to it via the gui it should be fine now? btw no windows firewall present [15:33] llutz: at? [15:33] airtronix: yeah I am downloading it at the moment, gonna be a min though. Im in afghanistan and the connection here is slow [15:33] Norse_Nemo, out of interest, which medai software on linux do you use that works with the zune ? [15:33] trijntje, k lol [15:33] thanks im going to man at, and check out the cron as well [15:33] llutz: just kidding, man page is helpful for once [15:33] airtronix: banshee [15:33] richthegeek1: [15:34] whatis at [15:34] at (1) - queue, examine or delete jobs for later execution [15:34] richthegeek1, yes, i know, but the matter is I don't like this new interface and want to return to the old, mixer-like one. [15:34] pkkm: not sure, might have been removed/replaced by this one [15:34] Norse_Nemo, from memory i recall that banshee worked with my ipod (while it was still alive ) [15:34] yancho: Do you have *any* firewall on the windows box?? And, if you are connected, then, whats the question...?? [15:35] Hi all, since Karmic my sound gives a loud Crack just before it starts playing a song or sound, I didnt have that issue in Jaunty. What could cause this? [15:35] airtronix: it does work with mine also, but it can only manage one device [15:35] god radiohead is depressing.... [15:35] airtronix: you either get ipod or MTP cant have both on the same install [15:36] I've justed booted with 'quiet splash' removed and 'verbose' instead. I don't think this gives me any useful info: I have an fsck telling me that / is clean, and ACPI message about I/O resource nForce2_smbus conflicts with ACPI region SM00, and error from nForce2_smbus: Error probing SMB2, and then acer-wmi: No or unsupported WMI interface, unable to load. [15:36] Then "One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted: (Esc for recovery shell) /tmp: waiting for /dev/mapper/ctmp, swap: waiting for /dev/mapper/cswap." And that's where the system is sitting. [15:36] I have an audiobook on many diffrent .mp3 files, how do I put them together to one big mp3file? [15:36] Daughain: i want to connect via the command line to add it to /mount [15:36] Lungan: It's a bit ghetto, but you can just concatenate them together. [15:37] creature : cat audiobook/* > audiobook.mp3 ? [15:37] creature, How? I want them together so I just have one .mp3 file to transfer to my mp3player [15:37] why file moving, copying, extracting,deleting files from trash took more time than windows in ubuntu ?? [15:37] richthegeek1: Indeed. Lungan: As richthegeek says. [15:37] creature: wooo I rock [15:37] yancho: OK, dunno anything about that. Once I got the firewall settings fixed, I haven't gotten the 'unable to mount' error again. Though, sometimes I need to restart samba. [15:38] Lungan: previous message: "Woo i rock" wont execute [15:38] dosen't mp3 have a index that gets trashed by cat? [15:38] It does. [15:39] Well, ID3 tags at least. [15:39] grawity: gravity ,what are you doing ? [15:39] crankyadmin: it has, also the id-tags. cat will result in broken mp3, but they might be played by most players [15:39] Most players are smart enough to play through until they hit EOF, even if the metadata's length disagrees. [15:39] As I say, it's a bit of a ghetto solution. But it'll work. [15:39] airtonix: just fond out im in luck songbird can handle both, but it only works with older zunes that use MTP and not the new MTPZ (mine is old :D) [15:39] creature: just tried with two songs and the length in totem is wrong.. seems to play fine though [15:39] creature: is there a way to edit ID3 tags? [15:40] hi all [15:40] yo [15:40] Norse_Nemo, small victories [15:40] ID3 is in the last 128bytes of the file.... [15:40] anyone need help? [15:40] Lungan: mp3wrap - Utility for MP3 wrapping (rolling multiple MP3s into one) [15:40] take if zero it and recreate. [15:40] richthegeek1, as you say, the file gets 60mb large but the length of the mp3 is only 3 minutes long? [15:40] LGN: are you sure that you can help? [15:40] llutz, read above, same problem with mp3wrap [15:40] LGN; Once I reinstall I prolly wil. =) === deanz is now known as Guest8879 [15:40] Lungan: it should play for more than 3 minutes, apparently [15:41] crankyadmin: ID3v1 was. But no sane person still uses it now. [15:41] airtonix: I take them when I can get them [15:41] crankyadmin: ID3v2 was created in 1998, with an entirely different structure. [15:41] i can help if i hear the whole story [15:41] LGN: a have problem with my card reader in a laptop [15:41] ok [15:41] fair do's! [15:41] what memery cards do it read? [15:41] * grawity sees that mpg123 _can_ correctly play a .mp3 file with two songs catted together. [15:42] grawity: as can rhythmbox and totem [15:42] * LGN waits for response [15:42] LGN: it's supposed to read SD-MS/PRO-MMC-SM-XD [15:43] nastas: and what does it instead? [15:43] and whats wrong with it and ubuntu [15:43] nastas: my money is on "read from the bible" [15:43] LGN:nothing at all [15:43] so... [15:44] OKay so I just installed Kubuntu with the alternate install CD but when it got to loading GRUB onto the hard drive it failed over and over so eventually I just hit continue without Boot loader... What should I do now [15:44] Tiders-: install the boot loader from a livecd [15:44] you could manually install GRUB [15:44] i think [15:44] ikonia, How do I do that? [15:45] ikonia, Ive never had to [15:45] !grub > Tiders- [15:45] Tiders-, please see my private message [15:45] LGN: richthegeek1 just to save some time, it detects the card only in dmesg [15:45] hi. i am trying to mount a windows share and i am getting: unable to mount read - write .. any ideas how to mount it please? i am managing to connect to it from the ubuntu live cd gnome / nautilus [15:45] hmm [15:45] Tiders: burn a live CD, once its loaded open a terminal, type grub, define the root, install === adam is now known as Guest35527 [15:45] iwconfig wlan0 ap (address) seems not to change my wireless access point settings, and it still is "not associated".. any tips? [15:46] yancho: you need to install the ntfs3g packages to make ntfs read-write [15:46] ikonia, Do I just use a normal 9.04 Live CD or do I need 9.10 [15:46] ikonia, Because my version of Kubuntu is 9.10 [15:46] ikonia: will i be able to do that in a live cd environment ? [15:46] Tiders: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [15:46] yancho: yes [15:46] matteo1990: are you sure that your wifi card is wlan0? [15:46] Tiders-: if you want to use grub2 you'll have to use a 9.10 cd [15:47] A summary of my dm-crypt problem: http://pastebin.com/m1c51bf9c . I'd welcome any suggestions of further debugging steps or possible causes. [15:47] Tiders-: grub 1 should be fine though also [15:47] grub2 is wayyyyyyy better than grub 1 [15:47] ikonia, Well what I meant by my question is that will GRUB 1 still boot a 9.10 install? [15:47] yes [15:47] Tiders-: should do fine, as long as it's from a 9.04cd -or your boot partition is not ext4 [15:47] grub1 will boot 9.10, because those who upgraded from 9.04 still have grub1 [15:48] ikonia, It is ext4 [15:48] Tiders-: then you have to use 9.04 or 9.10 cd [15:48] ikonia, SO I need GRUB2? [15:48] LGN: that's not true, only grub from 9.04 will boot an ext4 partition [15:48] ikonia: couldnt find package .. i did sudo apt-get install ntfs3g [15:48] Tiders-: no - you need to use either grub1 from 9.04 or grub1 or 2 from 9.10 [15:48] 有人在不？ [15:48] !info ntfs-3g [15:48] ntfs-3g (source: ntfs-3g): read-write NTFS driver for FUSE.

I have a simple question about scp: if I am ssh'd into an external server, is it possible to scp something back to be ssh'ing computer (I.E. my computer) without referring to my external IP address? Something like scp * localhost:/home/ (this will not work, I am aware, but I am just giving this an example) [15:50] fanti: lsb_release -a [15:50] fanti: lsb_release -a [15:50] system monitor [15:51] hi.

[15:53] Tiders-: then it's fakeraid [15:53] Tiders-: not hardware raid [15:53] ikonia, SO will it work? [15:54] Tiders-: I strongly advice you not to use that, a.) raid 0 striping is a bad idea anyway for a root file system b.) fake raid is terrible support under linux as its a windows based technology c.) /boot can't be on raid0 partition - that's why the auto grub install failed [15:55] ikonia, Ive installed Ubuntu tons of times... It recognises the RAID volume and I partition it as one drive... Its only the Kubuntu alternate install disk thats having a problem [15:55] hello?

[15:59] ikonia: it does not list in the mount [16:00] grawity: okay, so what do I do? [16:00] Dynetrekk: Better try 'sudo update-rc.d ssh defaults' instead. [16:00] grawity: what does that do? [16:00] grawity: how? [16:00] yancho: then it's not mounted [16:00] Hi all, since Karmic my sound gives a loud Crack just before it starts playing a song or sound, I didnt have that issue in Jaunty. What could cause this? [16:00] Dynetrekk: Tells Ubuntu to auto-start ssh on boot. [16:00] I have three HDDs installed on my computer and on Windows 7 (Which I'm currently on) I can see all three.. Two are partitioned and one has no partitions on it at all. Now in the Ubuntu 9.10 installation, it can only see two HDDs. What's going on? Even when I partition the empty drive to NTFS in Windows, the Ubuntu installation cannot find the drive. [16:00] hey everyone. I have a file which was encrypted (an rcf file). I have the password needed to decrypt the file, but I don't know which encryption mechanism was used. Is there a way to check this? [16:00] grawity: sounds good [16:00] I just ran some tests with the Seagate HDD tester and all HDDs passed fine. [16:00] ikonia: but i can browse through the folders from gnome! [16:01] rd1381: Create a second user account, and don't add it to 'admin' group. [16:01] yancho: then it must be mounted in userspace, use the mouont command to mount it on the system [16:01] I've allready tried a uncompressing it just by opening the files with the archive manager, but like i said im relatively new to the linux world...

[16:03] rd1381: create 2nd user, "sudo adduser yournewuser admin" [16:04] yancho: so that's not your ntfs partition, that's a remote windows share [16:04] anyone here know how to delete/remove previous conversation in empathy ?

[16:04] can anyone tell me why xubuntu is coming back to the login screen even after i've typed in the password....keeps happening again and again [16:04] rd1381: if sudo works for yournewuser, "sudo deluser olduser admin" [16:04] i can't access the os [16:04] !upstart [16:04] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.

[16:05] manish: common cause is your home directory is full [16:05] I've allready tried a uncompressing it just by opening the files with the archive manager [16:05] I'm getting the feeling that my problem is some issue with the interaction between cryptsetup, mountall, and upstart-udev-bridge.

[16:05] manish: The most common cause for that is that permissions in your home directory got screwed up from default user to root (usually by running a graphical app with "sudo" instead of "gksudo" ) [16:05] yancho: a samba share is very different to a local NTFS disk, === kruzenbek is now known as Guest99903 [16:06] What type of filesystem does /boot need and how big [16:06] how to connect output of one program to input of another?

[16:09] rd1381: I don't know if that is possible in Unix. [16:09] putting* [16:09] shoonya: assuming you mean 'add-apt-repository' enter that in terminal; if it's not installed it will point you to the package [16:10] I'm trying to set up apache2 vhosts so that if you connect by going directly to the ip address, you get one thing but if you connect using a certain hostname, you get a different page. I can't seem to get that working. I have tried adding a *:80 virtual host that points to /dev/null and a correcthostname.com:80 virtual host that points at the right directory but then neither one gets you anything when you try to connect. I've tried not having a *:80 a [16:10] t all and then you get nothing when you connect either. If I point the *:80 virtual host at the correct directory, it works but the hostname you used to get there doesn't matter. Anyone know how to do that? [16:10] i have no clue i did it forever ago... i can probably look it up though, hold on. [16:10] ColMustard: you don't point apache to /dev/null [16:10] rd1381: you can give partial root-access to users via sudo, i.e. access to only some specific commands. don't know if that helps [16:10] grawity: imean i want a normal account and an admin account and the ability to install app in normal account after asking for admin account passs [16:10] rd1381: Ubuntu's (and Linux in general) "admin" accounts don't have any privileges. They just can use 'sudo' to temporarily switch to the root account. [16:10] ColMustard: you need two virtual hosts, one for the ip (default) one for the servername URL, point them at different document roots [16:11] rd1381: Only 'root' is an equivalent of Windows "administrator". [16:11] ok [16:11] grawity: iknowe [16:11] hey guys, I've just reinstalled windows and need to know what the best way to restore grub? [16:11] ikonia, would * not take care of the former? [16:11] ColMustard: that just makes it the default site [16:12] grawity: but i want to whan asked for password for installing apps for it to ask another account pass not my normal account [16:12] ikonia, ok. so, is that the internal ip or the external ip? [16:12] ColMustard: depends where you want it to be accessed from [16:12] rd1381: why? that makes no sense to me [16:12] rd1381: You can go into gconf-editor, and disable /apps/gksu/sudo-mode. BUT it will be useless without a root account, because other accounts do not have any privileges at all. [16:13] llutz: say i wanna have a guest account to use but when i want i want to be able to install apps in that account by using another account (like windows run as admin)_ === nelson_ is now known as BrixSat [16:14] hello [16:14] while im looking for that command, can someone tell me why my internet is moing at a snails pace compared to when i had XP?

[16:17] Karger78: no files? or did it not boot? [16:18] it said bad image when it tried to boot [16:18] rd1381, basically, sudo ask for your password if you are in /etc/sudoers file and su asks for admin password [16:18] <_UsUrPeR_> Karger78: I have had to do this a few times now. post the dd command you used [16:18] Karger78: were the file s accessable? [16:18] ikonia, here's that command line from xp to combine files with .jpg file [16:18] Karger78: could just need the bootloader reinstallwed [16:18] ok [16:18] ikonia, copy /b DSC06578.JPG + Hidden.rar DSC06578.jpg [16:18] thanks [16:18] unless someone else here can help you manish [16:18] Dr Willis, I just used the standard dd command [16:18] santisnight: that's a windows command [16:18] the xfce session is not opening...the screen goes black, and then the login screen comes back [16:19] just dd if & of [16:19] ikonia, yeah seeing as the combination was made in windows XP [16:19] tesssa : no worries :) [16:19] no paramaters [16:19] santisnight: So the 'unrar' command should really be able to detect the RAR archive. Try it. [16:19] santisnight: sort it out on windows - it looks like you're trying to hide wares in a jpeg file [16:19] pkkm: su asks for the password of the user, you want to su to. not only root [16:19] Dr_willis i just used the standard dd command, no paramatres. Just the dd if and of [16:20] what is the sudo command to change password [16:20] <_UsUrPeR_> Karger78: typically if I am dd'ing a disk image to a CF card, it will go something like this: dd if= of=/dev/sdx (I use the entire drive, which over-writes all partition information, so I don't include numbers after the image location. I.E. /dev/sdx1) [16:20] i cant do enything with durupal with my ubuntu ultimate edition 2.4 [16:20] hello on a ./configure i get this [16:20] http://pastebin.com/m365520e5 [16:20] !ultimate [16:20] The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition [16:20] llutz, su executed without parameters afk for root's password [16:20] what's the folder in etc that runs things once at boot and then deletes the script? [16:20] pkkm: without user, yes. [16:21] Usurper, i did that, took about an hour to mount. [16:21] maybe i will try again [16:21] BrixSat: You would need to install kde lib development headers, probably something like libkde-dev or so [16:21] <_UsUrPeR_> karger: sounds like something got messed up. when you say "an hour to mount", you mean after you finished the dd process? [16:21] <_UsUrPeR_> err Karger78: ^^^ [16:21] gravity, by unrar you mean the archive manager? i tried that and it says it doesn't work with .jpeg file. :| however if you meant there's a command line i can put into the terminal, please be specific because i don't know exactly how to figure that one out... [16:22] soreau i have those libs [16:22] !rar | santisnight [16:22] santisnight: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [16:22] ikonia, >_> no i jut like keeping my stuff safe from my family. [16:22] santisnight: no, the terminal command [16:22] santisnight: No, I meant the 'unrar' command. [16:22] santisnight: I suggest you sort it out on windows [16:22] BrixSat: Well either you dont have the right package installed or the pkgconfig path is not set correctly [16:23] santisnight: And, IMO, that's really the wrong way of hiding "stuff" from family... [16:23] soreau so i can i solve it? [16:23] BrixSat: First, what are you trying to compile and why? [16:23] <_UsUrPeR_> took about 1 hour to mount a 4 gig image on a 16 gig card [16:24] soreau im compiling a program i got cause it has to be machine compiled so it feets every ones needs [16:24] mind you it's an SD card [16:24] cwillu_at_work, just !rar and the file name? [16:24] BrixSat, you're not making any sense [16:24] <_UsUrPeR_> Karger78: Hmm. That seems a little slow, but not THAT far from what is normal. [16:24] santisnight, read the message ubottu sent you [16:24] gravity, probably, but i thought it was still a neat way anyways. [16:24] santisnight: why ar eyou trying to sort this out on ubuntu - it's a windows command a microsoft platform would be easier to undo [16:25] <_UsUrPeR_> Karger78: that is dependent on the write speed of the CF card. [16:25] BrixSat: The other issue could be its looking for kde3 libs and you have kde4. May be likely if the program is a bit older or hasnt been developed in awhile [16:25] <_UsUrPeR_> Karger78: it's possible that writes are just that slow to the client [16:25] <_UsUrPeR_> Karger78: err CF card [16:25] it's only a class 6 SD card [16:25] Karger78, if the card was previously written to, it can take quite a while to write a whole new image [16:26] Karger78, sd erase blocks are very slow [16:26] ikonia, well i did just kinda ditch xp:| however if i cant do it my way and sort it out on here then i will. [16:26] yeah class 6 is only 133mb per sec [16:26] hey [16:26] <_UsUrPeR_> Karger78: in that case, that time frame makes sense [16:26] Hi, can someone direct me as to how can I type in Chinese (or atleast install a layout that works)? [16:26] Kardos, 133mb/s means it should take about a minute :p [16:26] Karger78, rather ^^^ [16:27] cwillu_at_work i need to compile a module for kaffeine and i only foind it in source [16:27] ugh, don't use dd on sd cards [16:27] by other buddy did it with a class 6 4 gig card and it took about 1 hour [16:27] what should i use then [16:27] instead of dd [16:28] _UsUrPeR_, Karger78, using dd to put an image onto an sd card is a very good way of ruining the performance of the sd card [16:28] because that writes all the empty space in the image as well [16:28] How do I get the copy buffer (created with painting with mouse, ctrl+c) to my bash script? [16:28] which then requires any write to the card to read an entire erase block to rewrite the entire erase block to write a single sector [16:28] ok fair enough, then how do i get the image on the sd card then [16:28] Karger78: "sudo cat /dev/sdX > foo.img" (or vice versa) [16:28] flexy: there are several tools, I use xclip [16:29] flexy: There's xcutsel too, I think. [16:29] Karger78, _far_ better to use a tarballed filesystem [16:29] and that will mount the image to the sd card [16:29] <_UsUrPeR_> cwillu_at_work: could you qualify that statement? I don't understand how the method of data transfer would affect the transfer rates inherent in the storage media. 6 MByte/s is already pretty slow... [16:29] flexy: Btw, that thing is called 'primary selection'. (Cut buffers are really obsolete.) [16:29] grawity: right. [16:29] _UsUrPeR_, consider how flash works [16:29] _UsUrPeR_, erase blocks are bigger than the minimum read/write sectors [16:30] flexy: With xclip it would be 'xclip -out -selection primary' [16:30] _UsUrPeR_, if you fill a partition via dd, you end up having to erase an entire erase block every time you write to the card [16:30] hi. I'm noting that every time I launch a video application (for example: playing a movie) I have a high CPU comsumption (about 50% per application) . I suspect that this problem has something to do with the hardware acceleration... do you have any suggestion for that? [16:30] grawity: right, I'm testing it now... [16:31] _UsUrPeR_, on the other hand, mounting an img via loopback and doing an rsync (or untarring a tarball) will only write to the space that's actually used, leaving the rest of the card untouched [16:31] faLUCE: what graphic card do you have ? system specs? what drivers are you using ? [16:31] grawity: exactly what I was searching for, thanks! :) [16:31] How can I find out the order in which upstart processes are run? Is there a tool that will draw me a tree or print me a summary? [16:31] Cwillu how do i mount an img via loopback? [16:31] _UsUrPeR_, you can easily drop down to less than 512kb/s throughput depending on the card if you use dd to write full disk images [16:31] hi iam nt able to watch video in youtube and other similar sites. iam using ubuntu 9.04 [16:32] !iso | Karger78 [16:32] Karger78: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.

[16:33] thiebaude: flash is installed [16:33] cwillu_at_work got itr? [16:33] I've tried searching all over and have yet to figure out how to install my webcam "05e3:0503 Genesys Logic, Inc." in 9.10... any ideas? [16:33] creature: I'm not sure if I understand correctly, but check sysv-rc-conf [16:33] krishnan, how did you install it? [16:34] _UsUrPeR_, the first write is generally okay, it's the subsequent writes (i.e., dd... oops, screwed up, dd again...) [16:34] yo [16:34] iwconfig wlan0 ap (address) seems not to change my wireless access point settings, and it still is "not associated".. any tips? if i try to run Dmesg i get ( wlan0 connected and then disassociating by local choice (reason=3) Any TIps? [16:34] thiebaude: while i installed ubuntu 9.04 and during intial browsing i got a message on top of browser [16:34] _UsUrPeR_, that said, the actual info in an install is generally far less than the image size, so even there you're gaining significant ground [16:34] llutz: Karger78 easier if it is a full disk image is to use losetup to create the block device and then run partx on it (who will discover the partitions within it and create the devices via udev) [16:35] <_UsUrPeR_> cwillu_at_work / Karger78 , so what do you propose karger does at this point? It appears he's already "oopsed" his sd card once :P [16:35] _UsUrPeR_, doing it the right way will at least reduce the amount of transfer the second time :p [16:36] Karger78, after you've done the loop mount, check "df -h /mount/point" [16:36] How much of a speed boost does fakeRAID give [16:36] Karger78, and then partition the sd card, mount the sd card, and rsync between the loop mount and the sd card ("rsync -vax /loop/mount/ /sd/mount/" should do it) [16:36] ok [16:36] i need to set ubuntu server RAID0 ,help me. thanks all [16:37] Karger78, but tell us the size, I'm interested :) [16:37] _UsUrPeR_, suffice to say that I learned this the hard way :) [16:37] (an image took over 48 hours to write once) [16:39] erUSUL: 9.10 karmic, Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [16:41] an [16:42] !intel | faLUCE [16:42] faLUCE: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support.

[17:34] eric_2: right, might be an issue with the disk [17:34] 8+ [17:34] haresh_, your intsall should already have some OpenOffice apps [17:34] BrixSat, and you're sure you've got the kde3 dev libs installed? [17:34] What do you mean? The USB? [17:35] i know [17:35] eric_2: yes, it might be damaged if its getting that error [17:35] cwillu_at_work how can i see if they really are [17:35] but it say i need to install the jrest of jaba things [17:35] can someone point me to the right room to get assistance on setting up a virtualhost using ubuntu 9.10 [17:35] skeeter101: apache? [17:35] Rhank you that would explain how i was able to install server edition on 1gb drive [17:36] Thank you [17:36] haresh_, are you trying to install the new version of OpenOffice? [17:36] In "remote desktop preferences" it says "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network." How do I make it reachable over the internet?

[17:37] cwillu_at_work :D [17:37] haresh_, ok, well I'm confused then, what did you try in Open Office that prompted a dialog box telling you to install java, jre ? [17:37] no how wouls i do that? [17:37] mobius2, I think the port in question is already open, but I'll check. Is it 5900? [17:37] jre [17:38] eric_2: The download page? [17:38] they ask em to instakk a jre [17:38] All the download page said was 32-bit or 64-bit [17:38] haresh_, openoffice.org-writer,sun-java6-jre openoffice.org-officebean,sun-java6-jre openoffice.org-java-common,sun-java6-jre openoffice.org-filter-mobiledev,sun-java6-jre openoffice.org-base,sun-java6-jre openoffice.org,sun-java6-jre [17:39] no option for live cd [17:39] how to install [17:39] sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre maybe? [17:39] eric_2: Then you probably can't make a bootable USB installer [17:40] haresh_, or use synaptic and search for jre, or open office and install from there [17:40] hey everyone. I'm getting a long list of 404's when I try to apt-get update. Anyone know how to fix this? [17:40] So i should download ubuntu create a live usb disc and boot off of it and install the programs and remove the ones i don't want and it will work? [17:40] E: Couldn't find package jre [17:41] the latest java does not seem to like the latest ubuntu kernel source fyi [17:41] haresh_: use synaptic and search [17:41] but at least updating doesnt break my linux :P [17:41] thats a new one [17:41] haresh_, at command line do apt-cache search jre [17:41] mobius2: an update that doesnt break linux? thats really quite odd [17:42] eric_2: maybe take a look at unetbootin, a program to make bootable usbsticks from livecd's.. just a hint [17:42] I am trying to connect to a windows7 box using fstab with no luck can anyone help [17:42] anyone here have multiple monitors AND graphics cards And use compiz?

I've been doing update-manager upgrades since breezy, and things have been steadily getting weirder, pulseaudio misbehaving, my gnome menus getting messed up, gdm stopped working for a while.

I get this error: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [18:54] E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

[19:27] assargadon, not sure, but you might be able to make a symlink in the user's dir (if not, make a folder, and put a symlink in the folder), and share that.

[19:33] ntfs [19:33] assargadon: its been argued both ways and across the world ways.. ntfs-config tool does allow you do do a few clicks and enable full access to ntfs filesystems. Or not allow any at all. [19:33] filipje1993: depends how you found it.. in the filemanager? [19:33] should I umount and fsck my ext3 partition? [19:34] assargadon: personally during the install - i give my ntfs fs's a mountpoint so its rarely an issue for me.

[19:36] bbogart, when you've lost patience and don't care about existing install/config/etc [19:37] cwillu_at_work: its between 0.0 and 0.3% for wa [19:37] bbogart, I personally hate restoring from backups, and am philosophically opposed to suggestions that I need to decide up front how much space to allocate to /home, so I just upgrade :p [19:37] Docteh, :/ [19:37] cwillu_at_work, well, you can always fresh install only overwriting / and not /home [19:37] anyone know how to setup sound on a lowmem basic ubuntu 9.10? [19:37] Docteh, you didn't install any "safe rm" features at any point did you? [19:38] bbogart, no, no you can't :p [19:38] see what you've got to do is plan on doing a lot of fsking if you're going to go hard-mount a partition [19:38] at least, not as easily as it might appear [19:38] cwillu_at_work , bbogart , i almost always find it better to fresh install .. hint: keep your /home in a separate partition [19:38] anyone use epiphany-browser in here? having trouble with epiphany / liferea integration on Karmic 64bit - [19:38] cwillu_at_work, I'm sure I saw that option somewhere, to install without reformatting for each partition... [19:38] fujimitsu, I am philosophically opposed to suggestions that I need to decide up front how much space to allocate to /home, so I just upgrade :p [19:38] I'm new adopter from rpm-based distros. Could you please help to get sorted with the following features, it I'll find solutions, this will keep me with ubuntu. First, I'm using karmic 9.10 on laptop. Is there a way for soft plugging in external monitor? I'd like the laptop's 1024x600 screen to show cutted desktop mirrored with the external screen having better resolution - 1024x768 or 1200x1024. It's a usual behavior, is it possble to set [19:39] bbogart, if you have a separate home, yes [19:39] cwillu_at_work, fujimitsu, I do put /home separately. [19:39] <[Spooky]> Anyone here play Battleforge? [19:39] cwillu_at_work- bbogart types the truth! a separate /home partition makes system recovery *very* easy. [19:39] Do any of you guys use asterisk? [19:39] cwillu_at_work, I certainly have issues with this machine that no one else does, gdm not working through two releases would be noticed if I was not the only one! [19:39] * cwillu_at_work is not interested in this conversation [19:40] I'm not the one with a broken install :p [19:40] tech__: theres an asterisk channel on freenode, but they'll make fun of you if you're using the packages in apt [19:40] ok, I guess, it's too crowded, and all are busy. [19:40] mmarc__3: for the monitor - it often depends on the video chipset/driver and laptop i find. [19:40] bbogart, well, it being broken the second time is just a statement about how it was broken the first time [19:40] Another question. Why, when I clicking on NTFS disk in "computer:///", it mounted itself with root as owner, while flash drive are mounted with me (assargadon) as owner? [19:40] mmarc__3: you can try plgging it in and trying the laptop 'monitor' combo keys and it may just 'work' ive had seeral laptops that worked that way.. some required me to run the xrandr tools [19:41] bbogart, dpkg-reconfigure -a -phigh can fix a broad class of things with a sledgehammer-style approach :) [19:41] cwillu_at_work, my plan is to just upgrade then, and make a new user from which I'll copy from my old home directory where needed. I'd rather not have to deal with backing up my SVN repo. [19:41] assargadon: whoever wrote the easy to use gui doesn't have anything ntfs probably. you can manually mount stuff as owned by your user [19:41] bbogart, no, if you have a separate home you can just reinstall without reformatting it [19:41] "/quit [19:42] cwillu_at_work, I'm never used it in that manner, but I am familiar. [19:42] Dr_Willis: I'm using the msi wind u100, monitor key works (!!! that's cool -I know only two distros where it works: moblin, and now - ubuntu), but here it seems to hang when switching [19:42] mmarc__3: my AAO worked.. and my other laptop wiorked.. but ive seen some where its a total disaster. :) [19:42] cwillu_at_work, maybe I'll put SVN in another partition next time... [19:43] mmarc__3: i saw one laptop that defaulted to the external monitor.. even tho one was NOT plugged in. :) [19:43] Docteh: "manually" means "via console" ? [19:43] cwillu_at_work, thanks for your help. [19:43] another question: where you guys missed Texmaker? [19:43] np [19:43] bbogart- you might consider making SVN it's own user [19:43] cwillu_at_work, out of curiosity, how old is that desktop machine? Mines a duron 800, just about 10 years old now [19:44] bbogart, it's a 1.6ghz something something, been through a bunch of different hardware on the installation [19:44] 4 video cards, a motherboard, 2 harddrives [19:44] same install <3 [19:45] bbogart, earliest kernel I still have installed is a 2.6.24-17-generic [19:45] that's around when I started fooling around with rdsl kernels for a work project [19:46] cwillu_at_work: interesting - but still ...

[22:16] Alacard: If you want to go back to a previous release 9.04 :) [22:16] nice way to try to update things :( [22:17] sebsebseb: Now what? I got the cd >.> [22:17] I'm a fan of LTS for production enviroments [22:17] cellofellow: if you still have the ISO, you can check it to, make sure you have a good download [22:17] honestly, a non-LTS become a production machine :( [22:17] Alacard: oh production hmm, what kind of stuff are you doing then? [22:17] mostly data backups, virtual machines & general IT stuff [22:17] Alacard: I don't know if you reolize it or not, but 10.04 released at the end of April is the next LTS [22:17] Alacard: ah ha I see, so you got important data [22:17] ? [22:18] well, some would say it's important [22:18] Alacard: ok yeah Ext4 might still be a bit dodgy really for that kind of stuff [22:18] Alacard: ,but what problems did you get with Ext4? [22:18] no issues whatsoever with Ext4, but it is not natively supported on 8.04 LTS [22:18] if 9.10 is bad I don't wanna know what 10.04 is gonna be like [22:18] calebgamb: stay here, plus as you can probably see I am also trying to help Alacard [22:19] !pm > calebgamb [22:19] calebgamb, please see my private message [22:19] Deathvalley122: 9.10 is bad for some people, but a lot of people it's fine [22:19] Ok it's just I am an ubuntu n00n [22:19] Noob* [22:19] Hey, I just updated a system I hadn't used in a while from 9.04 to 9.10, and it appears that something on the boot partition got corrupted. The files are all there, but it no longer has a UUID or TYPE label. [22:19] Deathvalley122: also anything that isn't a Long Term Support release, is a kind of testing release [22:19] Any idea how to fix that? [22:20] calebgamb: ok boot the computer from the CD [22:20] calebgamb: and come back here [22:20] calebgamb: you might have to go into your BIOS and tell it to boot from CD first [22:20] I have a usb device that should be world-writable.

[22:21] calebgamb: first before installing Ubuntu, it's a good idea to test your hardware, Internet and such, make sure that works [22:21] sebsebseb, you still have a few minutes? [22:21] Alacard: yes [22:21] hello [22:21] thanks man [22:22] sebsebseb: I need it to be world-writable so eclipse can use it [22:22] after i installed ubuntu 9.10, i think i've overwrited windows 7 mbr or something, because i can't see it anymore in the boot menu, is there a way to restore it from ubuntu? [22:22] Alacard: XFS they say has most of the Ext4 advantages, and has been around for longer, but then for Grub you need a seperate /boot. and Ext3 is fine really and the default file system for 8.04 [22:22] The ubuntu logo is like REALLY stretched.. [22:23] calebgamb: you mean the boot up logo? [22:23] The white one [22:23] calebgamb: ah yes that thing, personally I don't like it. If you have you get issues with 9.10 you can try 9.04 the previous release, which is a pretty good one [22:23] If I have an IP address, how can I find the domain name/machine name on the local network? [22:23] Yeah, I'm fine with Ext3 but my machine is running 9.10 w/ ext4 so an 8.04 ext3 native system won't read it [22:24] sebsebseb: ohh yay there's now a bar [22:24] African sounds ;) [22:24] Alacard: ok [22:24] Alacard: yeah you want Ext3 [22:24] coiaz1, usually: host [22:24] yeah [22:24] Okay [22:24] Alacard: move your data into a new Ext3 partition, back it up some where else? however your going to do it [22:24] Everything is booted up [22:24] yeppers [22:25] calebgamb: your on a lap top or desktop? [22:25] msp3k: Thanks. [22:25] I think that is the only way to accomplish my task [22:25] thanks for your time [22:25] Alacard: when 10.04 comes out by the way at the end of April, you can directly upgrade to it from 8.04, but you are unlikely to get Ext4 on upgrade. You might get Grub 2 on upgrade. Anyway you don't really need those. [22:26] sebsebseb: Laptop [22:26] calebgamb: ok so your using wireless? [22:26] Yes im trying to connect [22:26] calebgamb: :( [22:26] hmm [22:27] calebgamb: you might have to configure your wireless, which won't be easy as a new user [22:27] I connected [22:27] :p [22:27] calebgamb: ok good [22:27] Im pro at windowsy stuff and ubuntus connection thing is similar [22:27] Now what? [22:28] calebgamb: Reolize that your lucky, that you got someone, who will guide you in setting up a proper install. However first, is this just a computer that is going Ubuntu only, or is it going to dual boot Windows as well or what? [22:29] sebsebseb: I know I am lucky to have your awesome tech support, and I want a dual boot with windows. [22:29] calebgamb: ok I should have probably asked that question later on, now I got to ask this. Which version of Windows? [22:29] calebgamb: later on, I meant to put earlier on [22:29] Windows vista sp1 [22:29] Will any USB scanner work with Linux/Ubuntu nowadays, or is there anything I need to look for? [22:30] calebgamb: SP1 hmm, you haven't upgraded to SP3? right uhmm you got data in Vista or? [22:30] Home premium [22:30] hi there, does somebody know how to install easily the newest version of ATI Catalyst, without playing with all the conf. files? [22:30] ?

However this is the time where you should back up any important data just in case something goes wrong which is unlikely. Also the time where you should load up Vista, so you can let Vista resize itself, so you don't get data loss.
