how do i install a lyrics screenlet to the screenlets options?

hi all

indus, one moment

vigo: im using a HP laptop. the screen was perfect before the updates

nobody running cron?

how do I know if my Dell INSPIRON 1501 will function properly if I upgrade to Ubuntu 9.04

vigo: "Did you install the newest or whatever drivers that are for your display" <--- What does that mean?

It works ok now with 8.10

indus, http://paste.ubuntu.com/199054/

Cry_Baby: I did about the same thing, lost the .xorg settings and or vid driver, installed a fglrx driver and it was solved.

vigo: how I do that?

how come i can log in ssh as root but not GUI as root

limgong: are you in safe mode now?

yes

Hello, I'm trying to convert a .mkv movie to .mp4 format, but there is an issue with ffmpeg - it was suggested that I try demuxing manually with mkvmerge and then remuxing with mp4box, but I don't know anything at all about those packages - can someone point me in the right direction as to what to do here?

vigo: what command?

indus, at least i belive so

hi all... my pidgin cant connect yahoo messenger... any clue...??

can u go to system>admin >hardware drivers

Cry_Baby: Look in Synaptic, search, whatever driver/widget. then select one

petx: hmm i heard quite a few people with yahoo connectivity problems

hotspeedBOPM: did you enable root account?

petx: is this the first time you using pidgin?

there is an entire room dedicated to the yahoo problem it seems

myrtti i must have; since i can log in as root in SSH

indus, hmm... no... I've tried once before

it says my splash screen in the config editor is edubuntu-splash.png so where can i find this file at in the folders dir?

hotspeedBOPM: uh-oh.

!root > hotspeedBOPM

hotspeedBOPM, please see my private message

indus, but now.. It doesnt work...

indus, any clue...??

petx: go to room #pidgin and see the topic for the day

indus, ok... thx

petx: they have some problem so you will find good help there

anybody to advise me on 9.04 upgrade please

ubottu what the hell you talking about? i am not guessing anything

I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)

tannersummers: where is the file located? Desktop?

dragon im trying to find where the file is so i can replace it, but all it sows is splash/edubuntu-splash.png

the fact that i can run bbc iplayer listen again without any addition of anything has made me giddy

so im trying to find where the pic file is located at

hotspeedBOPM: strongly suggest you read the link and disable the root account, especially for the ssh

limgong: do u see something in hardware drivers?

"Leaving"

ubottu what are you talking about???

I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)

tannersummers: type in a terminal: `locate edubuntu-splash.png`

just for my modem

wow thansk dragon never knew that command

indus, two things for atheros lan card and one that just says software modem

limgong, in english please

myrtti you are being silly

limgong:can u go back to normal boot and note down the messages which appear?

Oh goodness gracious pip pip chieo atheros. blimy

hotspeedBOPM: root account has been disabled in Ubuntu for a reason. There's no reason for enabling it.

limgong: your drivers are enabled

what command to open my nautilus n keep nautilus when i close terminal

limgong: ok wait

i think it "nohup" or something?

myrtti again it's silly

Qu4R0w: nautilus . & exit

limgong: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

indus, No rush the sheer fact that you are helping me is beyond words right now.

dragon - will that work for other gnome applications as well?

hotspeedBOPM: that's the ubuntu way. If you've got root enabled, there's a limited amount of help this channel can offer you with your problems

no..i open with terminal by typing sudo nautilus..i close terminal n nautilus also close..how to fix?

hotspeedBOPM: why silly?

hi

khelvan: yes

Myrtti: why is that? how about in a public chat?

Qu4R0w: nohup

"Saliendo"

meho_r because i need root to install programs

indus, mass of text

indus, one moment

yes..im right..i got my memory back

hotspeedBOPM: you have sudo

Myrtti: sorry typo i mean private chat IM

pm

!sudo

sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE)

indus: whut?!

kdesu asks me for a password, i enter root password, but it asks agian, a didn't edit /etc/sudoers - what should i do?

hotspeedBOPM: you need *sudo* to install programs

Myrtti: ya someone wants to solve the root user thing ,maybe someone will help him in pm

indus, http://paste.ubuntu.com/199058/

andreyv_: why do you have root password?

indus: none of my business?

myrtti and sudo require password like "su root" so what difference does it make

well.. i should enter just my own user pass?

Hello. I'm on Ubuntu (Not Xubuntu) 9.04, using a fairly minimal Xfce desktop. The update-notifier daemon is running, but does not seem to be working, as I haven't seen it pop up in weeks. When I upen up Update Manager, however, it lists 14 updates. What gives?

andreyv_: yes

I have a tray in my panel.

smth new ))) i just new in kde4.x

Myrtti: huh what? when did i say that

Myrtti: its a question iam asking

Myrtti: its a question iam asking

oKtosiTe: Did you run update/upgrade?

dragon vida: looks like for the time being, I just set my grub timeout to a really big number, and like you suggested, pretend that I can see the menu

Myrtti: god, talk about misunderstandings

o dear, what a storm brewing.

imagitronics: that should help

anybody know how to clear bash history?

dragon: It's not ideal, but it works

-k

I have my linux desktop up now with all three monitors

indus: if someone wants to help in pm, it's none of my business apart from the fact it's strongly not recommended.

there are no dears, just hoes, get yourself straight, relax, and get back on that horse

limgong: this paste is like , you open the bonnet of a car to see even though you are not sure what you are looking for

thanks for the help, switching from my mac laptop to my linux box

imagitronics: also consider removing extra options from grub, which you might never use

Myrtti: its not?

hotspeedBOPM: about sudo see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

indus, neato

indus: how would I even know about it?

Myrtti: ok nvm

Myrtti: i kind of forgot what i wanted to say

Myrtti, trace your steps and get the remote controller out of the freezer

oh that was indus

small joke.

i am using postfix with spamassasin and i need a tool, which can send me a daily report with all mail-subjects, senders and the reason why it is spam. are there any tools out there?

hotspeedBOPM: you can become root in ubuntu using "sudo su" command but I don't recommend it

limgong: i dont get that joke :)

limgong: ok anyways back to topic

indus: you were arguing for why we should help someone do things incorrectly

bad alzheimers joke.

hth ;)

indeed

whats hth?

a snake with a lisp

indus: hope that helps

dragon:heh ya thanks

done im done no more jokes

limgong: iam not sure i see something in that file

I kinda liked the snake one. but it is #off-topic

anybody know how to clear bash history?

hotspeedBOPM: i do i do i do

dragon_: how about you try to fix your connection?

you guys im tired of this .. its really annoying to get a2dp to work

indus, and this should set the problem?

hotspeedBOPM: look up -k

vigo huh

Myrtti: what about my connection?

indus how?

limgong: it will take some patience and reading to solve your problem, but the community documentation is a great way to solve

hotspeedBOPM: delete the file .bash_history

hotspeedBPOM: That -k with a little text in front clears bash history. I would have to look it up again.

indus but that doesn't clear current session

hotspeedBOPM: history -c

hotspeedBOPM: ya sorry bad method

indus, you are a sainted man/women/unspecified gender. King/queen of new new york

hotspeedBOPM: its history -c

:)

"Leaving"

hotspeedBOPM: and take a look at ~/.bash_history

limgong: some people do call me a saint, but that happened after they let me out of jail

!offtopic | indus

indus, please see my private message

hotspeedBOPM: i think if you dont see history then you need to create that file .bash_history. oops i mixed up the answers

hi all

i had a question on upgrading to 9.04

If I have a samba share that nautilus is able to browse to (e.g smb://server2/common/) is there a terminal-usable path associated with the nautilus accessing?

history -c didn't work

i am keen - but it warns of possible issues with display drivers

iceroot, Amavis + Spamassassin + ClamAV is a good combination and can be configured to send spam/virus mails to a specific local address. Not sure about what you'd us to produce a daily, "digest" of activity though.

is there anyone here who is in a position to help me get my bluetooth headphones to work with ubuntu?

arand: ~/.gvfs/somethinghere

can we find out whether my Dell Inspiron 1501 will have a problem beforehand

erUSUL: cheers

why does my xorg.conf change after every reboot?

i have made some entries in it that i need to be persistant

arand: no problem

rob_p: yes, this is what i am using but have not found that option there

does anyone here have compiz enabled rightn ow?

guys which app can convert a jpg to png?

AYE!

lyrae: yes but please ask the real question

tannersummers: gimp ?

gimp can convert jpg to png i think

tannersummers: many;

gimp to confussing

iceroot: When i take a window screenshot (alt + print screen), it doesnt get the window borders. I wonder if this happens to anyone else. Google says its a bug but has been fixed with latest ubuntu version, but not for me

wmv dosent play in VLC

hotspeedBOPM: another method ln -sf /dev/null ~/.bash_history

crap

the "start the Ubuntu NBR installer in VMWare"-idea isn't going to work

what codec required to play wmv in VLC or Mplayer

iceroot, In Amavis's config file, look for $final_virus_destiny, $final_banned_destiny, and $final_spam_destiny.

lyrae: works fine here on 8.04
