[00:00] I've just gone to system -> admin -> hardware drivers. it's empty! [00:01] it should contain fglrx [00:01] hi. anyone knows how plymouth have totally made my screen brightness darker? EVEN if I restart my computer [00:01] can the keyboard layout be changed in the command line? [00:01] even on startup screen brightness is dark [00:02] how can I fix that? bios recovery or what? === oioioi is now known as quagmire [00:02] are you on a laptop?

[00:03] does it happen when you start with ac charger plugged in? [00:03] Can someone help me restoring the default wine shortcuts? [00:03] system>preferences>power management... [00:03] freapwar: yes. I've not tried with ac unplugged [00:03] should be an option in there [00:04] uLinux: pretty sure a panel reset would also reset wine shortcuts - but I have NOT tested that theory... [00:04] does anyone know of a better launcher/quicklaunch/osxdock type application than just putting icons on a panel in gnome? [00:04] yes [00:04] acerimmer_: how do I do that? [00:04] i'm somewhat dissatisfied with the panel for two (albeit very minor) reasons [00:04] !docky|abstrakt [00:04] try dockey [00:04] is it fast? [00:05] !panels|uLinux [00:05] uLinux: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:05] erm, don't need to reset my panels thanks [00:05] hello [00:05] i like em the way i've customized em [00:05] that will delete all the other shortcuts.. lol [00:05] how i can delete nvidia drivers and install vesa? [00:05] @abstrakt look for docky [00:05] did that work angry? [00:05] freapwar, yeh i will do that [00:05] actually three reasons come to mind now that i'm looking at it again... [00:05] its the best one out there [00:06] can someone just copy the shortcuts to wine [00:06] can the keyboard layout be changed in the command line? [00:06] freapwar: you don't understand me. plymouth have broken my display - it's now darker. it's not affected by unplugged ac power [00:06] hello [00:06] I fixed my Toshiba Satellite laptop that would not recognize any usb devices except a mouse by updating the bios from 1.3 to 2.3. Just info for anyone with this problem. [00:06] Is there a way I could find out *exactly* which files are read in which order, on the ISOLINUX screen of the Lucid LiveCD? [00:07] how i i have problems with videocard... its broken.. and work only with disabled acceleration in windows [00:07] with nvidia drivers X not work [00:07] Were you able to adjust anything in the power options? There is a brightness setting where you can set a default brightness... [00:07] how i can install just clear Vesa and run? [00:07] I'm not understanding.. What do you mean by 'broke'? [00:07] did you download and install all restricted drivers for your video card? [00:07] videocard works only with Disabled Hardware Acceleration in windows [00:08] don't use windows [00:08] i cant run X [00:08] angel: Which version of Ubuntu? Lucid?

[00:11] does docky require installing Do? [00:12] uLinux, please - you had only asked your question 31 seconds before [00:12] CynthiaG: I asked long time ago before tha [00:12] t [00:12] uLinux, in Synaptic go to 'wine' and mark it for reinstallation. That should restore the files. [00:13] uLinux: Oh, sorry. I just joined. :) [00:13] hi, I've installed the proprietary graphics driver for opengl, and now it gives a segfault even in glxgears [00:13] CynthiaG: I uinstalled it and installed it [00:13] hi, ubuntu 10.04 64bits + vbox 3.2.4, it makes my entire system (8gb 1cpu/6core) extremely slow.....any suggestions? [00:13] reinstallation shouldnt work [00:13] but ill try [00:13] who makes a 6 core cpu? [00:14] uLinux: then you've checked, in the said Main Menu option, that Wine has all of its icons shown? and the icons are just not there even in Main Menu? [00:14] CynthiaG: they are all gone [00:15] CynthiaG: after uninstallation if left some wine folders and stuff then i deleted them but after reinstalling wine it didnt add [00:15] Got a problem....I have Ubuntu 10.04 on my machine, i went to dual boot xp, i fixed my mbr and when i go to choose windows i get a Error 12: invalid device requested. How can i fix this to load windows?

'sudo apt-get purge wine' and reinstall wine again [00:16] (Repeat from 10 min ago) Is there a way I could find out *exactly* which files are read in which order, on the ISOLINUX screen of the Lucid LiveCD?

[00:18] CynthiaG: what you you mean "on the ISOLINUX screen"? [00:18] Serraphyn, did you create a user without a home dir? [00:18] CynthiaG: After this operation, 65.5kB disk space will be freed. [00:18] in some full screen programs, my volume controls act erratically. They will go up and down on their own.

[00:20] shomon: no worries, that is a quite advanced question I'm asking, I know :P [00:20] angel1: ? "Failed to load module "glx" (a required submodule could not be loaded, 0)" [00:20] CynthiaG: yep that sh1t [00:21] How do I resolve the sudo Unable to resolve hostname noe? I've tried everything, hostname-f says Unknown instance, and now my machine is not working properly. I've tried every single thing known. DO I resintall? [00:21] angel1: well that depends...what graphics card are you running? Those may be the only drivers available for that card [00:21] I meant hostname none that is [00:21] angel1: I found that on an ubuntuforums thread, can you view web pages on your computer right now? [00:21] SlidingHorn: GeForce 8400M (little broken) work only in windows with Disable Hardware Accel [00:21] < CynthiaG> uLinux: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove, to remove wine's dependencies [00:21] doesnt affect other apps? [00:22] CynthiaG: nope (( i see only irc in weechat and console( [00:22] uLinux: other applications' dependencies will still be "used", and so since you removed only wine, only wine's dependencies will be eligible for removal [00:22] hmmok [00:22] uLinux: (+) and the configuration files will also be removed by --purge autoremove [00:23] angel1: The thread says that two or three guides (from other different threads) didn't work for the person. Looking further. [00:23] !hostname | Keith-BlindUser [00:23] Keith-BlindUser: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [00:23] angel1: By the way, you can install text-mode web browsers such as Lynx, ELinks and w3m and research in that [00:25] CynthiaG: try lynx now [00:25] CynthiaG: is there something specific you want to change in the isolinux boot? [00:25] thune3: I want to order the files one right after the other in the CD to completely eliminate seeking, as part of LiveCD optimisation work [00:26] Is there a way to create a launcher for a script that wouldn't open a terminal? [00:26] hey [00:26] what program could I burn 'image' cds with? [00:26] bricky: brasero [00:26] bricky: cdrecord, brasero, k3b (kde) [00:27] i burned one with dvd creator and it just placed the ISO on there without making it an image hehe thanks' [00:27] CyL, just call the script from the launcher ?? [00:27] Hi. Question : how do i save channel infomation in XChat there isnt any save button and it keep changing back to default O.o [00:27] It wont work [00:27] CyL: when you're creating your launcher (assuming GNOME), instead of "Application with Terminal" you can use Type: "Application" [00:27] Why wont ubuntu detect my mouse? [00:27] Didn't we agree that I should go to sleep? [00:27] It used to work, but now it doesnt [00:28] CynthiaG: even if it is a script? [00:28] Purpley: My car is broken. Whats's the problem? By the way, it is red! [00:28] CyL: yes [00:28] anyone??? [00:28] Veer: RTFM [00:28] gothenburg: i'm laughing on the inside...but just ask for more info, lol -- btw..it's the alternator [00:28] Veer: look at Xchat's homepage [00:28] CynthiaG: i doubt the isolinux section of LiveCD boot even falls into the noise of the total boot. Some time ago i played with a distro, where these guys did extensive access profiling and rearranging the data on the cd: http://www.alpha.co.jp/biz/rdg/ac-knoppix/index_en.html [00:28] gothenburg: Ok, I really dont have much to go on except that I installed btnx beforehand [00:28] CyL, you only need a terminal if you are going to interact with the script - i.e. view it's output or enter something with the keyboard, etc [00:29] SlidingHorn: ;) [00:29] CynthiaG, unop: thanks for the advice.. the is a launcher for google earth [00:29] Purpley: is it USB? [00:29] Its called a "support" channel [00:29] gothenburg: Yes, its plug and play [00:29] Purpley: And to give support the question must contain information [00:29] hello [00:30] thune3: thanks, will read [00:30] I see the format of /etc/hostname as 127.0.0.1 localhost is that correct? [00:30] Keith-BlindUser: yes [00:30] without the greatorthen signs, and such obviously [00:30] Or actually, why does my wireless mouse lag when there is a flash video playing? [00:30] is this achat room and help room [00:30] Purpley: Is it Wireless? [00:30] Sometimes it wont register clicks and it moves very slowly and sometimes wont respond at all and yes [00:30] patty_: this is a support room for ubuntu users [00:30] Purpley: Flash..... [00:31] Purpley: look at the CPU [00:31] gothenburg: Adobe Flash Player [00:31] if i have a file that i can run in console on double click, what is the command for running it in console [00:31] I don't have DHCP in use, my machine still sets itself to none on boot, no matter what I do, and if I attempt to start up the hostname service it syas unknown instance. Using 64-bit Lucid [00:31] i have to run it with root [00:31] Purpley: I know. And Flash isn't the best "program" in the world [00:31] b0n1: navigate to the directory containing the app in your terminal and type: sudo ./filename [00:32] gothenburg: Theres no chance im maxing out all 4 of my cores by playing a flash movie [00:32] thx [00:32] Att eh moment sudo isn't working whatsoever. faliling to resolv hostname none. [00:32] failing* [00:32] b0n1: sudo och gksudo if it is GUI [00:32] bon1: +1 to what gothenburg said [00:32] can i ask about programmer here? [00:32] *programming [00:33] I disabled X for the moent, but that's still not helping. Any other reasons why none is setting itself on boot and the hostname service is not starting? [00:33] Note: I am installing BackTrack, but they both use same Debian-based installer, very very similar. Issue: It seems to be forzen on "Resizing partition..." in the prepare disk space step. Can this take a very very long time? Help. [00:33] Purpley: still Flash isn't the best program in the world. And have you installed the gfx drivers? [00:33] gothenburg: Yeah, there going up to 20% [00:33] astropirate: it's probably not the best place, no [00:33] astropirate: probably not the best place here... [00:33] Jon--: and this channel is UBUNTU [00:33] Purpley: that may occur because X in Ubuntu (and Unix in general) handles both the video output and the mouse access. Thus both actions are kind of "synchronous" on X, which cannot use more than one core. [00:33] SlidingHorn, unknown command sudo ./ [00:33] And the strangest thing is that both /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname contain matching names. [00:33] sudo och gksudo gothenburg ? [00:33] b0n1: what distro are you using?? [00:33] ubuntu [00:33] So do I reinstall the system entirely? Or what. I may need to reformat and whipe the box to reset this issue. [00:33] OK....can anyone, ANYONE help me find a clean vanilla /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme [00:33] Jon === davids is now known as david_s [00:34] Jon--: Backtrack has their own support channel: #backtrack-linux, we do not support backtrack in #ubuntu [00:34] Jon--: Backtrack support can be found in #backtrack-linux [00:34] astropirate: #ubuntu-app-devel or #ubuntu-devel (-devel is for core programming, -app-devel is for programming GUIs and userland 'apps' in general) [00:34] b0n1: you should teach yourself about the Terminal. Sudo is a substitude to root [00:34] b0n1: what is the full path to the file? (with the file name and extension if there is one) [00:34] SlidingHorn, i can do ./file but not sudo ./file [00:34] #backtrack-linux and plus resize it with g-parted [00:34] gothenburg: Yes im using it [00:34] Keith-BlindUser, no, all you need to do is boot up into the "recovery mode" to do this [00:35] its just a file called MathInstaller [00:35] seahorse_: You want mine? [00:35] if i run it with ./Mathinstaller i cant continue because i dont have the rights [00:35] what do i install to update time continually? [00:35] b0n1: careful with that, Linux filenames are case-sensitive! [00:35] yes [00:36] Could I boot into a LiveCD, and chroot into the system partition to do this as well? I could fire up the Ubuntu CD and do that too. [00:36] CaptainTrek: Check out NTP [00:36] but thats not the problem because i have already run it [00:36] are there other chat room here if so ow do i find them [00:36] b0n1: do "sudo su" first [00:36] As far as the hostname stuff goes [00:36] ok [00:36] b0n1: I ask because you just said two different "cases" for that filename in here, it was just a precaution [00:36] seahorse_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/449874/ I don't think it should be modded from default lucid.. [00:36] Keith-BlindUser: yes [00:36] gothenburg: My computer is a gaming rig, I doubt its a hardware issue, but a software issue [00:36] Keith-BlindUser, sure you could do that -- but "recovery mode" is likely to be quicker [00:37] Keith-BlindUser, although you'll need to be comfortable working with the shell in the "recovery mode" [00:37] bash: ./MathInstaller permission denied [00:37] Purpley: Still Flash isn't the best program and it is well known that flash gives problem [00:37] Purpley: try look it up in the forums [00:37] if i do sudo su and then ./MathInstaller [00:37] b0n1, chmod +x ./MathInstaller; ./MathInstaller [00:38] ;) [00:38] gothenburg: The flash movie plays fine with no lag, its just the mouse that begins to lag [00:38] b0n1: why isn't you using synaptic? [00:38] I am installing Ubuntu 10.04 and it seems to be frozen on "Resizing partition..." in the prepare disk space step. Can this take a very very long time, or do I have a possible issue here? How can I fix this? I don't want to lose my Win7 partition here... [00:38] Purpley: yes. And it is not the mouse that causes that problems [00:38] Jon--: You said before that you're using Backtrack. === trogdor is now known as Guest1722 [00:39] Jon--: Probably best to avoid interrupting it if possible. [00:39] gothenburg: Are they any quick fixes for these problems or am I stuck? [00:39] Jon--: that is not supported here, please see #backtrack-linux for Backtrack support (/join #backtrack-linux) [00:39] Jon--: resizing takes a long time. If the disk activity LED is on solid, don't interrupt it [00:39] Purpley: as I said. Have you looked in the forum? [00:39] you may need to be logged in as root to continue the installation [00:39] It should give answer [00:39] on chmod +x ... [00:40] CynthiaG: My disk activity light is not on, as far as I can tell. [00:40] b0n1: then sudo first [00:40] or have prompt looking # [00:40] CynthiaG: I cannot hear my hard-drive either, it's like there's no activity going on. [00:40] gothenburg: No not yet I just wanted to know [00:40] Jon--: can you open a terminal and issue the command "top" and say if a process is using 100% CPU, and if so which process [00:40] Jon--: Please take this to #backtrack-linux. [00:40] same answer [00:40] CynthiaG: Highest is 4% [00:41] Purpley: the problem is well known and often discussed in the forum. And then look in the Wiki. [00:41] h00k: This is not backtrack. [00:41] its so strange, and if i mount the image with root rights, then i cant cd into the directory [00:41] what is this [00:41] because i dont have permission [00:41] b0n1: what's the name of the program? [00:41] Jon--: I'm finding it hard to believe that you're having the same problem at the same time with both. [00:41] Jon--: I asked because I was recently made aware of an issue where GParted would use 100% CPU after a NTFS resize operation, yet it was fully completed and the person could reboot into Windows with only a short chkdsk [00:42] oh well [00:42] its mathematica and i could install it on my old ubuntu so it works, its a problem with the rights here [00:42] if i mount it as root i dont have the permission to cd to the directory [00:42] !crosspost | Jon-- [00:42] Jon--: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [00:42] if i dont mount it as root i can cd to the mathinstaller but not run it [00:43] i use furiusisomount maybe thats a bad program [00:43] its a .bin file [00:44] so are there alternatives? [00:44] h00k: No one in #backtrack-linux ever assists anyone. This is not a BT specific issue. It's gparted + debian installer. Virtually identical to Ubuntu. I have waited for an answer for 6 hours in #backtrack-linux before. Is it such a crime to want assistance? [00:45] does anyone know where i can set the resolution of the login screen in 9.10? [00:45] Jon--: What is your partition formatted as? [00:45] Jon--: This is still not appropriate for this channel. This channel is for Ubuntu support only, as seen in /topic. If you're having problems getting support, I suggest the backtrack forums or IRC channel. [00:45] Jon--: what version of gparted does BT use, and which does Ubuntu use? and if patchsets have been applied, what do those patchsets contain? [00:45] b0n1: *Disclaimer* This method is NOT recommended, but it could work. I would be VERY careful about doing this if I were to do it at all, but.. You could possibly do it by opening your file manager with sudo then opening the file...again..it's HIGHLY frowned upon to use a graphical file manager with root privileges [00:45] CynthiaG: It's resizing an NTFS partition with Windows 7 installed. [00:46] SlidingHorn, what's wrong with opening a file manager with sudo? [00:46] NTFS partitions have trouble with ending a resize properly. It just hangs at the end. Sometimes it uses 100% CPU, sometimes it just hangs. :| [00:46] ok SlidingHorn [00:46] daekdroom: because you can do serious damage to your system without any kind of warning or questioning [00:47] CynthiaG: Ahh hell. I just went to run GParted to get the version (someone had asked) and I think it canceled the process. I really hope that didn't damage anything. [00:48] daekdroom & b0n1: one thing about linux is that it assumes you know what you're doing (for better or for worse). When you are in a graphical mode with root privileges, you won't be questioned no matter what you try to do, and that is dangerous and highly advised against [00:48] Hi, can not get my eyetoy webcam to work proper (with ov51x driver) === cmdshftn_ is now known as cmdshftn [00:49] !details | mats [00:49] mats: Please give us full details.

[00:50] maybe system/preferences/bluetooth, tm0 [00:50] ubuntu karmic. hvere to post output? [00:50] shomon that disables it completely?

I've got a usb bluetooth key so I've never needed to disable it completely [00:51] CynthiaG: Sorry to bother you, just a quick question. I have an existing GRUB version installed. Installing a new OS. Should I untick "Install bootloader" and add an entry for the OS in grub.cfg, or is it easier to install over GRUB? [00:51] i just updated to 10.4. back in 9.10, 1600x1024 worked ok, now when i change to 1600x1024 the screen seems to be "too small", it doesnt work properly, any help? [00:51] does anyone know where i can set the resolution of the login screen in ubuntu 9.10? [00:51] I guess you can check by looking for it on your phone if you have one... [00:52] actually does anyone know how to fix the ubuntu 9.10 login loop [00:52] is fglrx a recommended driver for opengl? [00:52] Can anyone suggest a one-liner that will just eat up N megabytes of ram and then read, waiting for user input? [00:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/449887/ [00:53] I have figured out how to rip a .vob file from my dvd, then extract an .ac3 file from the audio stream I want. Now I have a vob file and an ac3 file. would someone please help me to make an x264-encoded?synched? .avi or .mp4 file using the two files? [00:53] m0nk3y, you can use avidemux for that I think [00:53] loads of forums and answers online... === TannerF is now known as TannerF-omnomnom [00:53] Jon--, update-grub may be easier [00:54] not sure exactly what i did, but ive been messing around with /dev/null , and now the command "echo test>/dev/null && cat /dev/null" gives the output "test" [00:54] how can i fix /dev/null? [00:54] wildbat: But bottom line is, don't install over existing GRUB, untick install bootloader, and then add this new OS from Ubuntu? [00:55] Jon--: Check Backtrack's documentation about Grub. [00:55] Hans_Henrik: sudo mknod /dev/null c 1 3 [00:56] Jon--: that would be my choice, but I'd check with people who are more experienced than I am...just my 2 cents :) [00:56] shomon: thx - ill check that out. [00:56] np m0nk3y [00:56] does anyone have an idea why ubuntu 9.10 is looping whenever i attempt to login? [00:56] Jon--, yes [00:57] CynthiaG: ty, worked [00:57] can you log in just from the terminal aliciapg ? [00:57] aliciapg: could you give a little more detail...what's happening exactly? [00:57] as in by pressing ctrl-alt f1? [00:57] wildbat: Thank you Sir. [00:57] wildbat: In return, I'll help at least 4-5 people in here, when I can and with issues I can [easy stuff]. [00:58] SlidingHorn: once i login, it brings me back to the login screen [00:58] hvat does this mean: http://paste.ubuntu.com/449887/ [00:59] aliciapg: (from shomon) can you login from terminal? (ctrl-alt-F1) [00:59] SlidingHorn: yes [00:59] How do i copy a file from one computer to another in command line over the internet? [00:59] fatbob: scp [00:59] fatbob, try scp [01:00] man scp [01:00] fatbob, winscp if you must use windows [01:00] sorry ww [01:00] no both linux [01:00] omg i run Xs in Backtrack4 in safe graphical mode (but 800x600) how i can do that on my system? [01:00] hi to all [01:00] alacarte is weird it's letting me enable/add menus [01:00] not letting.. [01:00] b0n1: Say sudo sh (or sudo su) so you become god. Verify you are god by entering "id". Your user id should be zero. Mount the file system that has your Mathematica on it. Cd to the directory containing the install script or program. Do a "file" command on that file. What does it say? [01:01] anyone know how to access a folder with a long name and space (windws standard) from a terminal or console? [01:02] WJW, b0n1, should use : sudo -i or sudo -s [01:02] Okay this is annoying the heck out of me. Has anyone else noticed this? [01:02] okapi14: enter a \ before the space [01:02] shomon, SlidingHorn: i know the resolution is at a really low setting, i did this intentionally when i installed [01:02] okapi14: Or put the whole filename in double quotes or single quotes. [01:02] okapi14: you can tab-complete to help you complete directories [01:02] I have made all proper edits, and now the hostname service in lucid entirely fails to start up at all. In fact, it said: "start: Job failed to start." And remains acrossed all recovery modes known to Ubuntu as "Username@None$" [01:03] This may be a Wine issue, not a Ubuntu one, but how come when I try to launch a game fullscreen the Gnome menu bars persist? [01:03] Keith-BlindUser: have you seen the !hostname factoid? [01:03] Nothing is working at all. The question would be, why? [01:03] ok guys, thanks [01:03] okapi14: h00k's suggestion is also a good one [01:03] What is making the hostname service not start, and why is it failing to execute? [01:03] !hostname | Keith-BlindUser [01:03] Keith-BlindUser: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [01:04] Note: It doesn't matter if i execute: service or start hostname start it just doesn't. :| [01:04] ok so i launch scp from my local computer correct [01:04] hook: what you mean by tab-complete? [01:04] Weird..the do match [01:04] they do [01:04] okapi14: type the first few letters of the foldername and hit 'tab' [01:04] Is there any other way to fix this pending a complete system reinstall? [01:04] hook: thanks [01:04] shomon, SlidingHorn: but it also should have skipped right over the login screen === Farkie is now known as Farkie[Away] [01:05] keith-blinduser: i believe it's /etc/init.d/hostname but I could be wrong [01:05] what is v4l_compat_ioctl32? [01:05] On Lucid you now have a service or start startup manager. [01:05] great, all suggestions works!:) thanks [01:05] In prior versions this wasn't an issue. [01:06] But I'm not about to downgrade my system, so I'm trying to find any possible solution that does not require a system reinstall. === TannerF-omnomnom is now known as TannerF [01:07] I made a shortcut to run Google Chrome.

I have a friend with ubuntu who's saying she can't use "play now" because it's calling xmms (which she doesn't even use). Is there an option somewhere in gtkpod to specify the player? [01:15] gracias ubottu [01:15] Remote tech support with Linux is sort of a pain :X [01:15] I cannot modify or delete shortcuts in ALacarte.. what bug is this? [01:15] uLinux: Permissions?

[01:16] h00k: I'm afraid my friend doesn't have the tech savvy (and I'm not even on Ubuntu...) [01:16] how do you emulate files? [01:17] why dont i get answer to this question? is it so strange to emulate file or what is it? [01:17] Anyways, I figured gtkpod may have some sort of option for a custom player command. [01:17] Can anyone confirm or deny that? [01:17] why is it that Kubntu & Ubuntu fonts are always better than other distros? [01:17] b0n1: I'm not sure what you're meaning to emulate a file. If you're trying to run a file, make sure +x is set on the file (chmod +x filename) and run it with ./filename [01:17] font rendering* [01:17] when I'm tryin to install ov51 driver on karmic i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/449887/ what shuld I do? [01:18] h00k, i still dont have permission what program do you use? [01:18] nobarking: Ubuntu's default packages probably include the proper libraries. [01:18] i mean emulate a .bin file for example [01:18] Other flavors are equally capable of good font rendering. [01:18] How do I remove a broken package (vlc, in this case) [01:18] which file should I edit to add something to the PATH for all users? [01:18] xelados: really? i've tried other debian based distros and debian itself, doesn't compare... [01:19] CoJaBo-Aztec: software center - remove package [01:19] b0n1: if you don't have permission to run it, you can run it with sudo, or change ownership to yourself (sudo chown username:username filename) [01:19] acerimmer_: I have to do it via command line, the GUI package manager (KDE) is garbage. [01:20] CoJaBo-Aztec: sudo apt-get remove vlc [01:20] CoJaBo-Aztec: or sudo aptitude remove vlc [01:20] I think I fixed it [01:20] :) [01:20] h00k: The following packages have unmet dependencies: vlc-nox: Depends: libvlccore2 (>= 1.0.2-1~ppa1) but it is not going to be installed [01:20] E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). [01:20] h00k, i believe b0n1's problem has to do with the installer asking for administrative rights itself [01:20] I cant get past that error. [01:20] CoJaBo-Aztec: sudo (ksudo? I'm not on kde) apt-get purge package name [01:20] cyy, /etc/profile [01:20] nobarking: I believe the issue is that some other distros don't want to use patented font hinting algorithms [01:21] does anybody know how to integrate xft fonts into wmii? [01:21] crdlb: really, i didin't know font hinting was also patented.... [01:21] CoJaBo-Aztec: did you try apt-get -f install vlc ? [01:22] My ubuntu install is sticking at 5%, any ideas on how to fix it? [01:22] Yes, I'm installing 10.04. [01:22] h00k: Yeh, that broght the same error. As did trying to install a completely unrelated package. Purge seems to be doing something tho. [01:22] h00k sudo chown user.. gives permission denied [01:23] tmas: what do you mean "sticking"? [01:23] i think my problem is the .bin file itself === hagebake is now known as hagabaka [01:23] its just readable and only writable with root [01:23] if i emulate it on a normal way without root i cant write in it [01:23] CoJaBo-Aztec: reboot after purging [01:24] acerimmer: It stops at 5% and acts as if it hadn't stopped. No error, just an installation that sticks at 5%  (I tried leaving it for 30 minutes, no luck). [01:24] if i emulate it with root i cant open it [01:24] tmas: troubleshoot. did you checksum the iso and the burned install disk? [01:24] as strange as it sounds [01:25] hi, any idea how to install skype on ubuntu desktop lucid [01:25] i've tried everything to completely remove AWN so i can start over fresh, and no matter what i do every time i re-install it it loads my old settings that are all screwed up.... can someone please help me before i freak out [01:25] thats why i ask for an alternative emulation program [01:25] acerimmer_: I did a checksum on the iso, but how do I checksum a burned disk? Make an image and get the checksum of that? [01:25] !checksum>tmas [01:25] tmas, please see my private message [01:25] but i dont understand why i dont get respond to this, do i use the wrong words or what is it? [01:25] ruben23, I came here and asked once and there's apparently an ubuntu guide on installing skype properly... [01:25] b0n1: What file is this? You're not 'emulating' it, rather executing (running) it. [01:25] emulation program is the right word for what i mean right? [01:26] b0n1: why do you keep saying emulate? [01:26] can't remember where though... [01:26] http://www.planetblur.org/hosted/awnforum/index.php?shard=forum&action=g_reply&ID=2305&page=1&isLive=true i used all the rm commands from that thread, searched thru my foleders myself and deleted stuff, completely removed from apt and synaptic [01:26] emulate = mount right? [01:26] tmas: no checksumming the burned iso is a little different. see the tutorial i sent your way [01:26] b0n1: no [01:26] shomon:you got the link..? [01:26] no [01:26] b0n1: emulate != mount != run [01:26] sorry! [01:26] shomon: what version of Ubuntu are you on? [01:26] ok i have a .bin file that i mount [01:27] !skype | ruben23 [01:27] ruben23: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [01:27] tmas: btw, if BOTH check out, i'd suggest downloading and using the alternate installation iso just to avoid the gnome hiccups [01:27] b0n1: .bin is a compiled binary or a program to run. You are not mounting it, you're running it. What file is it? [01:27] b0n1, is this file an installer or a CD image? [01:27] and the problem is that if i mount it with root i cant access it and if i mount it without root i can access it but not run the datas in it [01:27] lucid, h00k [01:28] rahduke: check for a hidden configuation file in your /home directory [01:28] ah thanks SlidingHorn [01:28] h00k, a .bin file could be an image [01:28] acerimmer_: ive looked i cant find anything related [01:28] shomon: you could be able to download Skype 64 or 32bit, depending on what you're running, for 8.10+ from the skype website [01:28] unop, i think if i burn it it will work but do i really have to burn it ? [01:28] acerimmer_: I need to burn a new cd, it looks like. I just took out the cd and glanced at the bottom, then realized that I had found the thing on my desk under some papers and stuff. Covered in scratches! [01:28] i can mount it and can see the installer files [01:28] I am getting a time out error while trying to use wget [01:28] tmas: well i guess that MIGHT effect things...:) [01:29] b0n1, well, ok, in that case, just adjust the permissions on the mount point -- where is it currently mounted?

[01:42] b0n1, in that case. chmod +x /path/to/new/MathInstaller.bin; sudo /path/to/new/MathInstaller.bin [01:42] b0n1, you must copy the directory first though.

[02:28] swoods: what is alacarte [02:29] darko3d: the windo that comes up when you right click -> edit menu [02:29] rigorm0rtis: no error messages? have you checked your logs for hints? [02:29] Rigorm0rtis, disk full? [02:29] Is the issue you're experiencing related to menu entries darko3d? [02:29] swoods: nevermind [02:29] If it is not, then that won't help you. [02:29] yo yo yo [02:29] Rigorm0rtis: If it's a lot of files, maybe it has a large file name or some strange characters it doesn't like [02:30] The disk is a 2TB raid array. [02:30] swoods: the problem is that the entries keep showing, the programs dont work, so i want to unistall them and try again [02:30] It is just one file, a large dd image. [02:30] Rigorm0rtis, I had a similar problem with my headless fileserver, turned out to be not enough ram [02:30] Wine comes with a configuration utility that should allow you to "uninstall" the Microsoft Office program [02:30] how can i edit sqlite3?

I am trying to find the font they use and use it as my application font under Appearance Preferences. When I look at the page source I notice that the font-family is arial,sans-serif, however the font is not sans-serif and I do not have arial. How can I find the font? [02:31] I've got 4GB of ram. Checking the logs, I get errors mentioning some app hasn't flushed in a while. I can't remember exactly what it said, the system always crashed a little while after they start appearing. [02:32] It writes these messages to the terminal. [02:32] darko3d: As a last resort, you could explore the C: drive and remove the files manually that it placed there. [02:32] Mike9863: it's in your browser preferences [02:32] rigormortis: http://paste.ubuntu.com [02:32] AnxiousNut, GUI? Give me a sec, I had a sweet one a while back [02:33] random832: I have the browser set to allow pages to use their own fonts if they set them, and when I disable that feature the font changes, so it is not my browser. [02:33] swoods: kk, guna try [02:33] Mike9863: are you sure? ould it just be changing from the serif font to the sans-serif one? [02:33] zoom in and use identifont i guess [02:34] darko3d: The thing to remember is that WINE is a horribly complex tool. It's attempting to reverse-engineer the entire Windows API and then run that through an abstraction layer on Linux. Each different release can act differently for reasons that are hard to decipher. [02:35] Random832: Yes I am sure, I will try identifont [02:35] darko3d: While I want to help if I can, SlidingHorn may have been right to suggest the WINE channel is the more appropriate place for this. [02:35] SlidingHorn: I will look into it some more when I am at work tomorrow. I'll grab the logs then.

What's going on? [02:43] and i need one BAD [02:43] Dr_Willis: codebrainz: having grub onscreen longer may get the drive ready to be mounted and such (spinup). Does it only happen on cold boot?

[02:53] heeey [02:53] well it seems it booted properly that time. Somthing to keep an eye on ui guess [02:53] happyface: isn't it default? [02:54] happyface: you might want to check Google Chrome's documentation or extension library. [02:54] Evenin' all. Having issues with Flash player on Lucid, 64 bit. Anyone know of a fix? [02:54] is somebody please so kind so help me setting smtp_accept_queue_per_connection in EXIM4 ? [02:54] !flash [02:54] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [02:54] is somebody please so kind so help me setting smtp_accept_queue_per_connection in EXIM4 ? [02:54] is somebody please so kind so help me setting smtp_accept_queue_per_connection in EXIM4 ? [02:54] ActionParsnip: no it's not. If you enable the html5 beta it only works for videos with it enabled anyway [02:54] DSpair: can you give a pastebin of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf [02:54] h00k: there's nothing that works [02:54] isent there an updated flash in the partners repo now? [02:54] happyface: i see, thought it would be as both are goole products [02:55] where are the crash log stored? [02:55] I saw somthuing about an updated flash last week. I forget where. :) [02:55] fuzzybunny69y: Not the one I had in mind (still looking for that), but this goes over quite a few different common commands and a number of uncommon ones: http://tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/html/index.html [02:55] * seahorse_ bows to ActionParsnip [02:55] ActionParsnip, dpkg -l | grep -e flash -e gnash -e swf # :) [02:56] oh cool [02:56] fuzzybunny69y: Here we are. It's extensive and that means it's long, but it covers everything you could possibly want to know: http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php [02:56] unop: you always remix it ;) [02:57] ActionParsnip, faster, more efficient :) [02:57] fuzzybunny69y: I've been through about 90 pages of it (it's 522 pages) and it is well worth reading, even if you just read a bit here and there when you get an itch. [02:57] oh nice guys [02:57] thanks your great guys [02:57] NP [02:57] Have fun ;) [02:58] swoods, I started looking at the at page. Very neat! Thanks for that :) [02:59] edbian: Yeah, it's good stuff. I actually use the CLI a good deal at my work, so I've been going over that during downtime to review/pick up a few things. [02:59] DSpair: once you get use the output we can help [02:59] swoods, Do you work with Linux and get paid to do so?!? [03:00] edbian: It's more common than you think. [03:00] swoods, That would be such a great job. [03:00] edbian: There are fewer jobs it's true, but there are a lot of jobs in Linux still. It's not all roses (I pull 12 hour shifts) but I get paid very well for my experience level and an experienced linux admin can make 10-20K more than an equivalent windows admin. [03:01] Whoops..right [03:01] Off-topic. Mea culpa :P [03:01] swoods: i do 12hour shifts too as a NOC [03:01] !ot [03:01] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:01] ActionParsnip: Sorry, I was following the instructions on the link from ubottu. [03:01] Uhm... [03:02] so does ubuntu x64 really not have a flashplayer? [03:03] XFGoldenBBL, yeah [03:03] DSpair: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; dpkg -l | grep flash > ~/flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash >>~/flash; dpkg -l | grep swf >> ~/flash; pastebinit ~/flash; rm ~/flash [03:03] ActionParsnip: Only one package installed: flashplugin64-installer [03:03] XFGoldenBBL: sure does [03:03] when burning an audio cd it asks me to save the image as home/owner/brasero.cue [03:03] DSpair: ok then what's the problem? I use flashplugin64-installer :) [03:04] ActionParsnip: Well, before I started tonight, video would play really fast and no sound. Now, flash doesn't work at all. [03:04] ActionParsnip: In either Firefox or Chromium. [03:04] DSpair: i'd remove it, then reinstall it [03:04] ActionParsnip: Been there, done that, 3 times. [03:05] DSpair: make sure you remove the config (or use --purge) to completely remove it [03:05] ActionParsnip: Even used purge. [03:05] ah [03:05] Ok .. thats goofy ... wonder why the devs didn't do something like windows .. x86_64 and x86_32 browsers [03:05] DSpair: ok when you go to use flash, do you get ANYTHING (even a white / black box)? [03:06] ActionParsnip: In FF, I get nothing, In Chromium, I get a little black box with a sickly computer icon in it and a message which reads that the plugin crashed. [03:07] DSpair: maybe you're not holding your mouth right .. :p [03:07] DSpair: hmm, have you tried removing the package and manually copying the .so file to /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins [03:08] ActionParsnip: If I remove the package, how would I copy the so file?!? [03:08] DSpair: you head to the adobe site and grab the 64bit tar.gz [03:09] I HATE FLASH SO MUCH [03:09] ActionParsnip: OK, got the plugin showing up again, but it is back to playing at 4x speed and no sound. === ericm|ubuntu is now known as ericm-afk [03:09] The purge did not remove all of the shared libraries. [03:10] DSpair: hmmm - http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html [03:10] Does anyone know how to troubleshoot the problem where your computer just randomly locks up completely where you have to do a hard reset. I have always wondered how you would isolate down what causes that. [03:10] DSpair you should run some CPU burning stuff at 98.9% cpu time .. that should slow flash down a little [03:11] fuzzybunny69y, got enough ram and swap space? [03:11] ActionParsnip: That's not helpful at all.... :P [03:11] ummm I have quite a bit [03:11] codebrainz, [03:11] fuzzybunnyboy i used to have an all-in-wonder [03:12] fuzzybunny69y: what are you usually doing when it freezes like this? [03:12] when using it i had the same hard lock problem [03:12] fuzzybunny69y, are you sure the whole kernel locks up and not just X? next time try Ctrl+Alt+F1-8 and see if other stuff is still working [03:12] hey any body to help how to start gnome shell i installed it and reboot but it didnt start [03:12] well sometimes I am just browsing the internet and it locks other times I am downloading something [03:12] DSpair: looks like you'll need to use the PPA version or use flashplugin-installer whic will use nspluginwrapper [03:12] when it finally fried on me and i stoppped using the ati, and just used the onboard graphics, it never happened again [03:13] you dont by chance have an ati card [03:13] sometimes I will be able to go CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to another terminal but other times it jut locks [03:13] just* [03:13] fuzzybunny69y: check your logs in /var/log to see if anything is reported [03:14] sorta off topic but...is there anyplace to d/l the ubuntu 10.10 alpha from? [03:14] fuzzybunny69y : Run memtest+ lately? [03:14] fuzzybunny69y, it could be like seahorse_ says. or bad/poorly seated ram would be my other guess [03:14] h00k, yeah I have tried looking but there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary [03:14] Blue1: See the topic in #ubuntu+1 [03:14] XFGoldenBBL, yeah I did run that once but it said everything had passed [03:14] Pici: many thanks [03:14] how do you start gnome shell after installing it ? [03:14] blue1: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/maverick/alpha-1/ [03:14] Please people I need help I am having problems opening rars with ark, its says: Unable to locate the program "unrar" in the PATH, whats going on? [03:14] wamicho, I think you do like gnome-shell --replace [03:14] or &replace [03:14] or something [03:15] fuzzybunny69y Was it recently .. and how many cycles? [03:15] wamicho: press alt+f2: gnomeshell --replace is my guess [03:16] fuzzybunny69y thanks man it did it [03:16] how can you monitor if someone is hacking you? [03:16] Luija1006, try installing it by giubg sudo apt-get install unrar [03:16] !ufw|kaflowski [03:16] kaflowski: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [03:16] fuzzybunny69y will it change when i restart? [03:16] I will try running that memtest again [03:17] ummm it goes back to your default window manager [03:17] err shell session [03:17] or whatever they call it [03:17] just try it first and see if you like it [03:17] fuzzybunny69y, is it a laptop? [03:17] codebrainz, yeah [03:18] fuzzybunny69y, maybe check the ram isn't loose or whatver, might explain why it can pass memtest and only sometimes freezes. just a total guess [03:18] SlidingHorn: I want to *monitor* [03:18] kaflowski, firestarter lets you monitor [03:18] how do you monitor without turning it on [03:18] kaflowski, open the program [03:18] sudo is returning, 'sudo: must be setuid root'. this appears to be a perms bug in 10.04; can anyone confirm/shed light? [03:18] codebrainz, I am not sure I think that would void the warranty and I wouldn't really want to mess anything up [03:19] fuzzybunny69y, might not, if there's a RAM access panel without a sticker on it :) [03:19] flaccid: have you been messing with sudoers ? [03:19] ActionParsnip: no. [03:19] codebrainz: I want to monitor all connections made by all programs, like under zonealarm in windows [03:19] flaccid: are you in the admin group? [03:19] ActionParsnip: yes. [03:19] codebrainz, yeah Ill have to check in the old manual [03:20] flaccid: can you pastebin your /etc/sudoers file please [03:20] kaflowski, ntop or similar maybe? [03:20] to see what all the little parts at the bottom are [03:20] fuzzybunny69y: thanks dude [03:20] Hi. It seems that Lucid no longer has xorg.conf in /etc/X11? [03:20] How do I see my xorg.conf? [03:20] make shure sudo is owned by root and has the setuid bit set [03:20] sure* [03:20] (@ flaccid ) [03:21] dunpeal, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:21] ActionParsnip: here you go http://dpaste.org/Idgk/ [03:21] jakexks: yes that is correct. this is not done in the release [03:21] dunpeal: that's correct, but you can make one if needed: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:21] i am testing with a fresh instance [03:21] dunpeal, i don't think it's used the same way anymore though [03:21] oh right [03:21] thus why i believe it is a bug... [03:22] released currently as -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 127664 2010-06-10 01:21 /usr/bin/sudo [03:22] SlidingHorn: thanks, what I'm actually looking for is the information inside. Specifically, the name of the driver I'm using. [03:22] My 10.04 install was completely unbroken :P I'm starting to think I was the only one with no problems [03:23] dunpeal, video driver?? [03:23] coz_: yeah, what's usually under the Driver directive in xorg.conf [03:23] Any idea how I can get that, in absence of that file? [03:23] flaccid: I have: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 127664 2010-04-13 18:43 /usr/bin/sudo [03:24] ActionParsnip: is that a fresh install of lucid? [03:24] flaccid: yeah, its about 20 mins old now [03:24] dunpeal, is this ati nvidia or intel? [03:24] weird as [03:24] ActionParsnip: let me test with the canonical released AMI [03:24] dunpeal: you can run this and page through the output: glxinfo | less [03:24] flaccid: mines got the s in there though [03:24] flaccid: rwsr ? [03:24] coz_: yup, but more specifically, it's going to be nv, nouveau or nvidia :) [03:25] its obviously missing. other people have reported this on the web too [03:25] how do i uninstall wine and reinstall the latest version [03:25] darko3d: Do you have the wine repositories added? [03:25] dunpeal, ok do you already know the card version? if not open a terminal a lspci | grep -i vga [03:25] SlidingHorn: ah, looks like I'll need to install mesa-utils [03:25] swoods: not sure [03:25] darko3d: Let me pull this up then. [03:25] darko3d: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [03:26] launching instance [03:26] ok, just a sec [03:26] darko3d: You can get WINE from Ubuntu repos, but it will not be as up to date as the WINE repos. [03:26] SlidingHorn: glxinfo doesn't seem to contain that information... [03:27] how do i add that to the repo [03:27] darko3d: click the link and read [03:27] darko3d: Bottom of the page. [03:27] darko3d, try glxinfo |grep version [03:27] I have the annoying problem of system time being reset (2002?) every time I unplug the power cord because sometimes I have to relocate my system [03:28] SlidingHorn: or rather, what field am I looking for exactly? [03:28] Is it because bios battery dead? or not using utc time? [03:28] darko3d: Once you've done that you can just use synaptic (apt-get's GUI) or whatever else to uninstall the version you had and install the latest from WINE's repository. [03:28] bios battery [03:28] CAn someone help me force stop an array please? [03:29] ok, trying [03:29] cole: is there a power wire plugged into the wall? if so you could try unplugging it .. that would stop the array [03:30] how many chat room are there in ubuntu [03:31] patty_: you mean on freenode, ubuntu isnt an irc network [03:31] patty_: freenode has about 8600, of which about 300 are ubuntu related.. [03:31] then how do you find them [03:32] I dont know if this is possible, but is there a way to download all the restricted network drivers without having to know them by name? [03:32] and how do you find them [03:32] Hello [03:32] patty_: well, you can list them, but the list is *huge*, sometimes so big it clogs your client. What are you looking for? [03:32] can anyone help me to install envy and get my graphics card working? [03:32] codebrainz: are you here? [03:33] patty_: this is a general IRC question, not an Ubuntu question. [03:33] patty_: use your client to get the room list [03:33] kaflowski, yo [03:33] DainRautenstrauc: what's your graphics card? [03:33] hi [03:33] dunpeal: 8800gt [03:33] i am looking for some help for this window and how to use it [03:33] DainRautenstrauc: Ubuntu version? I wouldn't use envy on any recent release. [03:34] codebrainz: i have a pastebin can you look at it? [03:34] patty_: can you expand [03:34] patty_: welcome to the internet. enjoy your stay. [03:34] dunpeal: the latest, what else should i use? [03:34] kaflowski, shoot [03:34] any one could tell me how do i do a shell script to shutdown the computer or how could i make a timer tu turn it off? [03:34] swoods: downloading the latest version, all the folders are still there [03:34] http://pastebin.org/331876 [03:34] DainRautenstrauc: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers. [03:34] patty_: use your browser to look at http://www.irchelp.org/ [03:35] ok the problem is only in our AMI and not the official canonical so the bug is with us. thanks for the help [03:35] afaik envy was an old hack to get what recent Ubuntu lets you do via the above GUI. [03:35] !envy [03:35] EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver [03:35] !sysinfo ? [03:35] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:36] kaflowski, permissions issue I'd guess, try as root [03:36] dunpeal: already done, it gave me the NVIDIA X Server Settings, which half the time, doesn't want to work for setting up dual monitors [03:36] does Ubuntu have the toram boot option like puppy?? [03:36] and how do i find my Browers [03:36] !oldster [03:36] ActionParsnip: yes [03:36] olvap: the shutdown command lets you schedule a shutdown at a future time. See 'man shutdown'... [03:36] i did get yahoo but can not get chat [03:36] !manual | patty_, perhaps this may help you with some basics [03:36] patty_, perhaps this may help you with some basics: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

I'm finding myself skeptical about the idea of recommending Ubuntu myself given that apparently the bootloader doesn't want to install right :| [03:40] maco, just type: /list ubuntu [03:41] HI... i need help to deactivate my currect nvidia drivers an get ubuntu with the factory default setup... any help____ [03:41] swoods: always been fine ere [03:41] codebrainz: http://pastebin.org/331882 [03:41] enav: you can use the hardware drivers thingy [03:41] I just installed 10.04 to a usb stick .. no problem [03:41] test34: alis gives you a limited number at a time and then you ask for page 2. /list has a tendency to flood clients such that they disconnect [03:42] ActionParsnip that sounds cute but my video stuff is messed and i ahve no video at all [03:42] kaflowski, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ntop [03:42] ActionParsnip: Don't doubt it is, but it's been reported repeatedly with wubi and upgrade installs. I assume since I'm remastering it treats it similarly. [03:42] enav: then you can drop to root recovery mode and run: dpkg -l | grep nvidia and remove the packages found [03:42] kaflowski, I don't use this program myself, I just know of it's existence [03:42] XFGoldenBBL: I'm using grub legacy instead, I'll see if it works but it isn't an ideal solution. [03:42] swoods: ahhh wubi is a whole different kettle of fish [03:42] codebrainz: :/ [03:43] can anyone help me with this?: http://pastebin.org/331882 [03:43] This is my real situation i want to set up 3 monitors... 1 monitor with an onboard ATI card and 2 monitor with a nvidia external card [03:43] codebrainz: thank you [03:43] kaflowski, no worries. try that guide see if it helps [03:43] kaflowski, i think some configuration is required [03:43] maco, I dont think so [03:44] ActionParsnip: From what I gather, there is some bug in the way that grub-pc is configured on install that keeps it from well..configuring itself in certain situations. This isn't as much of a problem on upgrade installs since the previous bootloader is there. On clean installs (like this will be) that can be a showstopping bug. [03:44] actually im running video on the ATI [03:44] I'll probably pursue this more if I can or at least write up how I fixed it if this does indeed work.. [03:44] enav you should do that on windows .. never had luck with multidisplay in linux everrrrr.. [03:44] swoods: i avoid wubi. i think its as bad an idea as the live gentoo cd [03:44] maco, you should get your bot to serve ads [03:44] is there a firewall available for ubuntu that would ask me permission for each program that wants to access the internet? kind of like on the free windows firewalls. [03:44] xfgoldenbbl: there are plenty of people who would disagree with that statement [03:45] XFGoldenBBL that is not true [03:45] Hi everyone, I have a doubt.... My server is behind a router that is behind a cable modem that is possibly behind a lot of stuff from the ISP (I don't have a dedicated IP address...). Is there any way to access this server from outside (anywhere else on the planet) ? Maybe some method ? Other than a VPN ? [03:45] kaflowski: I don't know the first thing about it, but going by the error message, I'd start by creating /var/lib/ntop/rrd and make it owned by 'nobody'.... [03:45] ActionParsnip: I don't run Windows at all. This isn't a wubi thing, just a similar thing that cropped up when I was trying to remaster a live CD with uck [03:45] enav it's true for me.. [03:45] enav, I run 3 monitors across 2 cards sometimes [03:45] i want to restore my video setting as factory default [03:46] joaojeronimo, ssh with dyndns [03:46] joakim, do a search for "dynamic DNS" [03:46] enav: have you seen this? It's a little old but could be a good start: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=457415 [03:46] enav, what "video settings" are you referring to? [03:46] the live CD detect the 3 drivers but i need to restart the X stuff to start from 0 [03:46] projekt2 is dynamic DNS enough ? Thanks :) [03:46] pretty much, you also have to do some port forwarding [03:46] joaojeronimo, do a search for Dynamic DNS [03:46] port 22 for ssh === stephen is now known as Guest17494 [03:47] joaojeronimo: I recommend using a non-standard port for ssh. It will cut down on break-in attempts... [03:47] I'm doing it. Thanks binaryme :) and projekt2 [03:47] dyndns is only one of many dynamic dns services [03:47] joaojeronimo.. pay pal me $50 and I'll do it from here [03:47] note taken Loshki ;) [03:48] And I'll provide you with fulldoc on how it was done [03:48] XFGoldenBBL oh and then you'll take over my server lol [03:48] !server [03:48] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

[03:52] i deleted wine from the synaptic package manager but it still appears in the applications menu, how do i remove it completly [03:52] kaflowski you can configure them via the guis mentioned to require permission for applications to access the internet [03:53] flomaster: most applications are in /usr/bin/ [03:53] synesp, there is a way, trying to remember. i think it has something to do with setting a partiticular env var that specified the terminal [03:53] ah, i don't know what to search for on google!! [03:53] codebrainz: if you remember, please, please, please let me know [03:53] dark03d: to remove a program and ALL of its configurations, etc (always be careful when doing this): sudo apt-get remove --purge [03:54] SlidingHorn: i dont see that option in firestarter [03:54] synesp, i smashed my head against the desk many times on this. let me try and remember [03:54] SlidingHorn: I'll have a look, I am an ULTRA Linux Noob I was looking in my application on my taskbar [03:54] kaflowski: I don't know of one. I'd be interested myself... [03:54] kaflowski: you mean kinda of like peerblock, but for linux? [03:54] mopi: no i mean a firewall that asks permissions for programs that want to access the internet [03:55] like in pop up windows [03:55] how to make gnome shell default in 10.04 [03:56] kaflowski: oh, ok. I've never heard of anything like that for linux? What is your purpose for having it? [03:56] mopi: well there's this game I like to play that people sometimes hack me on [03:56] synesp, iirc, it was either $TERM or $SHELL before calling the package manager. maybe try setting those to /dev/null or a file and see if it works [03:56] SlidingHorn: cool I found it [03:56] Just close the port in runs on [03:56] synesp, try $SHELL first [03:56] how to make gnome shell default any idea [03:56] codebrainz: alrighty [03:56] kaflowski: Just close the port it runs on [03:56] @find Herrnstein [03:57] mopi: it installs malicious software onto my computer when i go to the player-made servers. [03:57] kaflowski: in linux? [03:58] yes [03:58] kaflowski loshki mopi: here's a good discussion on the topic http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1462249 [03:58] Hi. Can I tell gnome-terminal to set $TERM to xterm-256color instead of just xterm? [03:58] * SlidingHorn is out [03:59] Is there a PPA for getting the latest screen from the git repository? [03:59] dunpeal, .bashrc probably ... export $TERM=blah [03:59] how to make gnome shell default any idea people? [03:59] dunpeal, unless there's a gnome-terminal specific thingy [04:00] codebrainz: yeah, I'm trying to avoid that, since that .bashrc may be run by terminal emulators that are not, in fact, supportive of xterm-256color. [04:00] kaflowski: I would just install firestarter and close the tcp ports that the game runs on. [04:01] how to make gnome shell default any body? [04:02] codebrainz: and yeah, I'm wondering if there is such a way? [04:02] kaflowski: I've never used AppArmor but in 'learning mode' it looks like the only thing that even comes close. Everything else is basically non-interactive... [04:02] Hi Appl6, I tried chmod o-x dirname, it removed the permissions for others, but the subdirectories yet been open to execute for others, what should I do? [04:03] Hello agian after another ubuntu video crash here [04:03] dunpeal, i just checked gconf-editor, don't see anything. why do you want this btw? gnome-terminal supports many colours by default, no? [04:03] can the gnome panel show multiple rows of open applications, like the windows task bar? [04:03] ubuntu 10.04 and i845 video boards sure don't co-op [04:04] Mekanaizer: is that nvidia? [04:04] no [04:04] !kde [04:04] blocky: I think you can add more than one panel [04:04] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [04:04] Intel 845 [04:05] hello! how can i delete a pendrvie partition table from the terminal? [04:05] codebrainz: if you don't have that, screen doesn't support 256 colors when you run it. [04:05] im on ubuntu 10.04 [04:05] dunpeal, i see one way to do it. make a shell script, inside export TERM=whatever and /bin/bash, then under profiles, select "Run a custom command instead of my shell" [04:05] dunpeal, might work [04:05] Appl6, and if I want to change permissions to subdirectories also, e.g. I want to give permissions to 100 subdirectories of a directories which has no permissions right now, then what I do... will chmod +x main_directory_name did this? [04:05] codebrainz: yeah, I may have to resort to something like that. [04:06] !gnome [04:06] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. === Sup|Away is now known as SuP|Lobby [04:06] dunpeal, or apt-get source gnome-terminal, edit the code, rebuild package, install :) [04:06] !permissions | vishaltelangre [04:06] vishaltelangre: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [04:06] weird.. [04:06] Wamphyri: you want Gnome. [04:06] !slitaz [04:06] nope [04:07] lol wondering if i could remove it :p [04:07] Wamphyri: why? it's your desktop environment. [04:07] kaflowski: firestarter does have a GUI now and will let you block things like that and turn it on and off [04:07] installing kde right now [04:07] if you don't want it, maybe you want Xubuntu or even the server edition. [04:07] and prolly eventually i'll just go with X [04:07] Wamphyri: Kubuntu 10.04 is imho not a good release. [04:08] why is that? [04:08] ever since 9.10 shipped with known critical bugs, Kubuntu has a lot to prove itself usable again. [04:08] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/566324 [04:08] anyone played ubuntu in Virtual box? [04:08] wamphyri: why do you want to remove your DE? [04:08] anyone here with any help on that bug? [04:08] ...and some of those bugs still haven't been fixed. [04:08] Sliding i'm not i'm installing kde right now [04:09] vbox-manager, host and guest, yes [04:09] after playing with kde for a bit i'll probably install X and go with somthing simple === soreau_ is now known as soreau [04:09] wamphyri: any particular reason? KDE runs on top of X [04:09] Wamphyri, X is almost useless without a WM [04:09] so does gnome [04:09] codebrains it is useless [04:10] wamphyri: as do gnome, and xfce (xubuntu's DE) [04:10] vbox-manager: using it right now, best program ever [04:10] i'll probably use enlightenment or somthing like that [04:10] "on" X [04:10] Wamphyri, are you looking for something light or just different? [04:11] wamphyri, if you're looking for something lightweight, KDE's about the furthest from what you want...try lxde, icewm or something of that ilk [04:11] XFGoldenBBL: Thanks, the battery was dead as a doornail. It works now [04:11] soreau : figured [04:11] hello room, new guy here [04:11] isn't E17 light? [04:11] SlidingHorn being light isn't a concern :) more different then anything else [04:11] e17 is pretty old :p [04:11] Also new, hello. [04:11] if i remeber correctly [04:11] does anyone know of a gui search tool which shows all indexed files and then filters as you type [04:12] brb guys [04:12] I've run into a brick wall trying to get my bamboo tablet working [04:12] wamphryi: i see, well, you can tweak just about any of them many different ways...i've seen some really cool fluxbox setups (which is a VERY minimal DE) [04:12] ! hi | blue_fox [04:12] blue_fox: Hi!

[04:12] does anybody know why an ssh using expect is to slow? it take me 4 second per command [04:12] Hi folks...trying to get an HSDPA connection working in 10.04. Modem is recognised, but connection times out. Can't seem to find the relevant error log - any idea where I should be looking? [04:13] SlidingHorn, ever try matchbox? pretty friggen sweet! [04:13] does anybody know why an ssh using expect is to slow? it take me 4 second per command [04:13] im having an issue. I restarted my Ubuntu machine and it brought me to a black screen with initramfs and the fan is running really loud. Any suggestions? [04:13] codebrainz i have not...I'll have to look into it :) [04:13] I have no idea what to put in the command. [04:13] SlidingHorn, absolutely minimal [04:13] Loshki: do you know how to run apparmor's gui? [04:13] im trying to do a script shell to shutdown the computer, but dont work. im using $sudo shutdown 1. but i only get a black screen [04:13] i just bought a new dell laptop and want to install ubuntu on it. ive searched threw the support pages and its far and few about the support on my model. Precision M4400 anyone have any thought on this laptop with ubuntu on it? [04:14] I don't know how to start it. [04:14] plustax, is it the BusyBox shell? [04:14] codebrainz it is indeed. [04:14] How do I get out of it? [04:14] kaflowski: Sorry, I've never used AppArmor... [04:14] plustax, what was the error just before BB shell started? [04:14] codebrainz im not sure [04:15] blue_fox, just boot the live cd to make sure everything works [04:15] restarting again [04:15] does anyone know how to run apparmor [04:15] plustax, reboot and look? it should stay on the screen [04:15] I tried following instructions as provided here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/wacom-bamboo-ctl-460-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html but for the file xf86-input-wacom-0.10.5 and all was successful through the third to last step, where it became apparent I had no "wacom.ko". I copied all similarly named files and tried to run the following command each time with no success and have since gone and deleted all four of those - what's the ne [04:15] I offer a script I call "e" that knows how to launch the appropriate editor according to file type: http://jackwaugh.com/src/bin/ [04:15] ok [04:15] projekt2 ok, ill try that and come back, thanks === Cain` is now known as Cain [04:16] anyone recommend a very feature rich graphical ftp client? [04:16] kaflowski: try System - Administration [04:16] autochthonic, i have a cheap bamboo model that "just works" [04:16] bluebaron, GFTP [04:16] codebrainz gave up waiting for root device [04:16] plustax, is this a fresh install? [04:16] no si5r [04:16] nope [04:16] plustax, did you change hard drives or tweak /etc/fstab? [04:17] nope [04:17] just a regular dumb user and i restarted the computer [04:17] plustax, is your hard drive dead? [04:17] mopi: don't see it there [04:17] Not that I know of. [04:17] It was working 10 minutes ago just fine. [04:17] Think its a hardware seating problem? [04:17] plustax, did you do updates or anything? [04:18] codebrainz, I've read several things saying the bamboo pen will not work out of the box in lucid [04:18] Should I crack it open and wiggle somethin? [04:18] I did. I ran the update today actually. [04:18] kaflowski: did you already install it, or was it included in your install [04:18] autochthonic, i can try it if you want, it ran fine on 9.xx [04:18] mopi: it was already installed [04:18] plustax, was there any errors during update? [04:18] nope [04:18] codebrainz, the problem is also said to be new in Lucid. [04:19] autochthonic, I can't say I've tried in Lucid [04:19] kaflowski: try opening a terminal and typing sudo apparmor_status and see what it says [04:20] bluebaron: FileZilla [04:20] codebrainz, this didn't occur to me, but I have an older wacom in the other room, I'm going to see if it works without any tweaking. [04:20] plustax, one thing to try would be to go into the grub menu, follow the instructions on screen for editing the boot menu (very simple), and tweak the root=UUID=blahblah part to say root=/dev/sda1 or replace /dev/sda1 with some other possible drive letter [04:21] codebrainz: I'm sorry but I dont understand any part of that. [04:21] I really don't. Im such a bare bones basic user I dont even touch a terminal if I dont have to. [04:21] Just got tatted [04:21] kaflowski: I would recommend firestarter for your firewall, just run a terminal and type sudo apt-get install firestarter [04:22] mopi: it says a bunch of stuff about profiles [04:22] Is it a good idea to manually edit the /etc/hostname file? [04:22] Lenux is the best [04:22] codebrainz, it does. That makes this all the more frustrating. [04:22] plustax, yeah, it's kinda hard to troubleshoot then. what's happening is, the initrd is like a "pre" OS that runs to get the linux kernel setup. at the end of this init stuff, it switches to your real install (root filesystem), but it's currently failing to find the drive/partition/filesystem where your install is [04:22] mopi: I've already installed that [04:22] I'm getting intermitant loss of account settings in Epiphany.. if I re-add my accounts... they'll occassionally come back in duplicate (new ones as well as old ones) causing issues in of itself? is this common and is there a common fix? [04:22] !troll | bigt [04:22] bigt: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [04:23] okay go to System then Administration and you should see firestarter [04:23] mopi: what should i do in there? [04:23] not epiphany... Empathy.. sorry [04:23] Lenux runs faster [04:23] lenux?? [04:24] edbian, dnftt [04:24] so codebrainz what do I do? [04:24] kaflowski: run your game in online mode for a few seconds, look at events in firestarter to see what port in runs in, then block them in policies [04:25] mopi: you don't get it [04:25] R3cur51v3, :P oops [04:25] kaflowski: you can even block a whole network connection, and just turn it on and off when you please [04:25] mopi: do you know what tcp/ip is [04:25] ? [04:25] Is it a good idea to manually edit the /etc/hostname file? [04:25] kaflowski: do you known what tcp/ip is? [04:25] recursive, depends what you're doing [04:25] Is anyone else familiar with getting a bamboo pen to run in lucid? [04:25] Is there a GUI program to configure which daemon to start at boot ? [04:25] plustax, i can suggest a bunch of stuff, but it's kinda technical and whatnot. One thing to do might be to use a LiveCD to get up to a GUI, and then go from there. [04:26] everything in linux is controlled in text files [04:26] Pip, startupmanager iirc [04:26] TANK, umm, how so? I changed the contents of the file. Is that good or bad? [04:26] kaflowski: what do you think I don't get? what exactly are you trying to do again? [04:26] if you just put something in the file, it shouldn't matter [04:26] R3cur51v3: yes, if you back it up first. [04:26] mopi: they install malicious software on my computer via the player-made servers. that malicious software can, in theory at least, use any ports it wants [04:26] Is there an official interface for it? Will things start to malfunction until I reboot? Is the value stored elsewhere, meaning problems with inconsistency? [04:26] Is there an easy way to modify the metadata in AVIs? I've done some minor edits using ffmpeg, but it's tedious and prone to failure. [04:26] so guise can I get a pat on the back, I just quit VMing linux. its now my main OS [04:27] plustax, I'd also ask the channel again, someone might have some good/simple ideas [04:27] and its beautiful [04:27] R3cur51v3: it is a plain text file.

[04:34] !hi|offensive [04:34] offensive: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [04:35] What purpose does that serve? is it some l33t haxxing? [04:35] codebrainz: probablyu [04:35] codebrainz I put in a live cd [04:35] nah, leethaxxing requires backtrack lawl [04:35] its been stuck at the ubuntu gray logo for 10 minutes. [04:35] acerimmer_: how do i remove the config, cause thats what causing the problem, i'm trying to make a fresh install [04:35] plustax, try rebooting [04:35] okay\ [04:36] darko3d: i'm going to suggest a quick kill since you've been dealing with this for hours - create a new account. New account = no .conf files for wine [04:36] those attacks are *random*, but freenode ops can't manage to stop them [04:36] darko3d, sudo aptitude purge wine # but that won't remove any files in your homedir like ~/.wine, you'll have to manually delete them if you want [04:36] pepee, what purpose do they serve, if any? [04:37] unop: yeah that's what he tried. Seems he missed a few and it's driving him a little off kilter... [04:37] pepee, isn't there a Ubuntu overflow channel for the web client? [04:37] pepee, can't we just have *all* people signing on at first be redirected to that channel? [04:37] It would thwart the attack. [04:37] R3cur51v3, this problem affects all channels, not just #ubuntu [04:38] I always get attacks registerd at gateway when ever I go on irc [04:38] pepee, then how to stop these ops while violating the channel? [04:38] acerimmer_: wont creating a new account also leave me without all the rest of the programs configurations i already made [04:38] security.goatse.fr [04:38] darko3d: yes. [04:38] sorry [04:38] alright codebrainz now its stuck at a blinking cursor. [04:39] What heck is wrong with this thing? I restarted it on a whim. It was acting perfectly fine. [04:39] Alright now its back at the ubuntu logo [04:39] http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Firefox_XPS_IRC_Attack [04:39] Ugh. I uninstalled Gwibber but for some reason the indicator remains -- how do I get rid of the "broadcast" indicator? [04:39] darko3d: if I knew how to kill each wine cfg file i'd happily tell you but you've already tried exactly what I would do - AND you did it without breaking your system! [04:39] plustax, did you "restart" or did you power off without shutting down properly? [04:39] that is my source, read that [04:39] I powered it off [04:39] how do I restart it at just the logo? [04:39] plustax, don't do that :) [04:40] plustax, i don't mean the livecd, i mean your install [04:40] how do i remove ~/.wine [04:40] <_jesse_> darko3d: rm -r ? [04:40] codebrainz, vishaltelangre R3cur51v3 http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Firefox_XPS_IRC_Attack [04:40] oh no I restarted legitly. [04:40] darko3d, rm ~/.wine -R [04:40] Im not THAT stupid. [04:40] pepee, thx [04:40] I only restarted because I havent in a couple weeks [04:40] Its been running. [04:41] if I dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdd and then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd .... Would I be right in assuming that 100% of /dev/sdd would be obliterated .. as in partition tables, mbr, eveything ? I can't seem to get rid of the damn supposed guid partition table thats not really on it by any other means.. [04:41] np [04:41] the stupid fucking bitch is still there in the application menu [04:41] !language|darko3d [04:41] darko3d: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:41] <_jesse_> darko3d: :P you can remove it from there too by right clicking hte menu [04:41] XFGoldenBBL, is it mounted or something? [04:41] it's not mounted [04:42] XFGoldenBBL, the /dev/zero one alone should completely overwrite every block on the disk with zeroes, correct [04:42] darko3d, darko3d if you want to remove it from your computer all together, you just need to run an apt-get remove command: sudo apt-get remove wine wine1.2 [04:42] codebrainz [04:42] got the gui up for the live cd [04:43] but I want to add it to an array to replace a dead disk ..this disk just came out of an EOM package .. I suppose it should be blank but it could be a refurb or something and I didn't know it [04:43] darko3d: System>Preferences>Main Menu. Probably need to log out/in to see the effect [04:43] plustax, pm me and I can have you try a few things if you want [04:43] Ugh. I uninstalled Gwibber but for some reason the indicator remains -- how do I get rid of the "broadcast" indicator? [04:43] BPower: right click, remove from panel [04:43] acerimmer_, don't think you know what I'm talking about.... [04:43] XFGoldenBBL, if you want to verify, dd back the GUID partition table into a file and see if it's zeroed [04:44] BPower: :| [04:44] well shouldnt uninstalling the program do that automatically [04:44] me with mouth shut [04:44] darko3d: not necessarily [04:44] Hello, I had a question about Ubuntu's permissions, I'm running 9.04 on a server and well, the issue is when my devs who have non-sudoer SSH accounts attempt to push to a git repository, they get permission denied, I've tried tranferring ownership of the directory to a group in which all users share, but it still gives the issue, any suggestions? [04:44] looking for help with ATI propitary crap on ubuntu lol [04:44] keep getting this error [04:44] nvm [04:44] but if I zero the whole disk should the guid partition table be gone? [04:44] acerimmer_, see where it says "Setup broadcast account..." http://j.mp/8YrILK [04:44] won't let me paste it now [04:44] parted doesn't see it [04:45] XFGoldenBBL, should be, but I'm saying if you want to be sure, read it back from disk and confirm it's all zeroed out [04:45] can someone help [04:45] please [04:45] fdisk -l says that a portion of th disk can't be used because of the guid patition table [04:45] hi, I forgot the password to one of my accounts, how can I change the password as root through the terminal? [04:45] XFGoldenBBL, did you run the 'sync' command? try that, flush out to disk [04:45] well this is what i get from trying to run proprietary software /s [04:45] BPower: got it.

[04:56] Do to some unbelievable bug that I can't believe has existed in 3 releases let alone a *&*& LTS release is mind boggling. Dmraid hides peoples hard drives in the installer [04:57] AndChat ok you can be dramatic about it in another room, if you would like help we need to know what error you are getting [04:57] My hd literally doesn't show up.

I am having a program doing an update I keep getting some kinda PPA key//signature errors? here are the errors and my sources.list file... http://pastebin.com/yJ6YjGtX [05:33] g073nks, try firefox :) [05:33] g073nks, why the HELL would you wanna install IE?? [05:33] i have cromium installed [05:33] I am getting hash sum mismatch problems when upgrading most packages. I have read FAQ and googled the problem but none of the suggested fixes have helped. [05:33] firefox won't work either [05:33] Okay, so I know VirtualBox is installed on this version of Ubuntu... now, how do I use it? [05:33] Can you set up Apache so when a user goes to the web address it requires the user to log in prior to seeing what's available for downloading off of the apache web server? [05:33] but i have some sites i need ie on [05:33] i am looking for some help about netbeans [05:33] n2diy see the link i posted... 5.0 aftershocks... [05:33] And why is it not in the applications list? [05:34] g073nks, then dual-boot with windows [05:34] Incarnation, should be under the main menu, or press Alt+F2 and type VirtualBox [05:34] don't pollute Ubuntu with that horrid browser [05:34] blue_fox, yes, it showed up at the same time I posted, thanks. [05:34] i'd prefer to get ie6 or 7 working, would like to avoid as much windows as i can [05:34] Any1 knows how to fix emesene random crashes? [05:34] n2diy u live in socal too? [05:34] zipper: what random crashes [05:34] Andy007, try a java or netbeans channel. if you need help installing it on ubuntu, tell us what problems you are having [05:34] codebrainz: Okay, but how come it didn't show up under my Applications menu? [05:34] Hilikus: it crashes randomly when i chatting with my friend [05:35] Incarnation, it should, under "System" maybe? [05:35] zipper: works for me [05:35] Incarnation, or "Accessories" [05:35] what version? [05:35] g073nks, obviously you can't though. if you absolutely can't get them sites running any other way, then you should dual-boot or run windows in a virtual machine [05:35] blue_fox, no, coal country of Pa., but I'm a ham radio op, so... they get my attention. [05:35] Hilikus: 1.6.1 "mate" [05:35] somebody knows how to configure the resolution on ubuntu lucid? the problem is tha i set the resolution more than 1024x768... and it works... but... a lot time later, it returns to be just 1024x768 [05:35] hi, im trying to upload some files to an ftp server with the nautilus ftp thing but it's really slow, will getting a new ftp client make it faster? [05:35] tbh, i've not come across a site I need IE for. Chromium does fine [05:35] codebrainz: Strange, it's not under either one of those menus [05:35] zipper: same as mine and i have no problems [05:36] j800r i had it working on previous versions of unbuntu, but for some reason this one won't let me [05:36] myrk, depends on your upload, and the server you're uploading to [05:36] blue_fox, did it rattle your Ubuntu box, to stay on topic? [05:36] Incarnation, yeah, i remember having that ... maybe restart gnome panel (killall gnome-panel) or just add it to the menu manually [05:36] Hilikus: and also i am getting empty automessage error [05:36] g073nks, maybe cause this one is smart ;) [05:36] j800r and ther eis a site with a walkthrough that i followed, but doesn't want to work [05:36] paste the URL, i'll take a look [05:36] j800r it's a large folder that's going to zymic.com [05:36] not if it's blocking wine from working [05:36] any1 can assist ??? my emesene is crashing randomly [05:36] * iflema there'd better be more to that than flash ;) [05:37] codebrainz: The killall command did the trick - now I've got a new item called System Tools [05:37] n2diy hahahah thats funny! well its a new dell precision m4400 with win7 on it but my cdrom just poped out with a fresh burn of ubuntu live so it shook win7 [05:37] resoLution: try cvt [05:37] j800r http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid#Internet_Explorer_7 [05:37] Incarnation, good stuff.

[05:38] sorry tesla555, I don't know what is cvt [05:38] arg === zipper_ is now known as zipper [05:38] my wife's pay stubs [05:38] n2diy i know right! [05:38] brb [05:38] or bbl [05:38] she works for AAFES and in order to view them or make changes she needs IE [05:38] resoLution: is ur prob solved [05:38] any1 can assist me? [05:39] Why am I unable to download a bootable version of 10.04? [05:39] i've got some error with my emesene it keeps crashing [05:39] g073nks, install the user agent switcher for firefox :) [05:39] I'm trying to upgrade my harddrive from a 13 gig to a 40 gig. I planned on cloning the data on my current hard drive and putting it on the 40 gig one, so I hooked the other hard drive up to the computer. It shows up in the BIOS, but not when I get to the desktop [05:39] tim2:why [05:39] What I get is nothing like 9.01, which was easy to install. [05:39] codebrainz firefox won't run for me either... for some strange reason... but firefox for windows doesn't work on that site either [05:39] help plz? [05:39] tim2: Did you burn the iso as an image, or did you burn a CD with a .iso file on it? [05:39] i've got some error with my emesene it keeps crashing!!! please assist! [05:39] I have installed SABnzbD and would like it to auto start what do I need to change here http://pastebin.com/hX0x0G7V [05:40] i've got some error with my emesene it keeps crashing!!! please assist!!?!?!?! [05:40] I opened gFTP last night, and forgot to shut it down, now the whole gFTP window is ghosted out, and won't respond to the close command. Top doesn't see it, and killall gFTP doesn't play with it, how do I kill it? [05:40] How to upgrade from 9.04 To Lucid without lossing existing installed prog ....is it posssible to backup the installed progs [05:40] zipper, that's probably more related to the app rather than Ubuntu [05:40] g073nks, does it detect IE and block FF or does the site just not work well in FF? [05:40] why not just use Empathy :\ [05:40] I'm trying to upgrade my harddrive from a 13 gig to a 40 gig. I planned on cloning the data on my current hard drive and putting it on the 40 gig one, so I hooked the other hard drive up to the computer. It shows up in the BIOS, but not when I get to the desktop. [05:40] n2diy: ps x [05:40] doesn't work at all [05:40] g073nks: ok whats wrong with the browser [05:41] Jordan_U-I used Brassero to burn an image. [05:41] j800r, empathy is v lousy [05:41] j800r: be helpful :) and yes IE sucks [05:41] tim2: What happens when you try to boot? [05:41] Tao: You have to mount it [05:41] sebsebseb not sure, just won't start, no crash message or anything [05:41] relentless: How do you mount it? [05:41] Tao, you can use GParted to clone the partition and/or resize it to the new size [05:41] tesla555: to upgrade from 9.04, you would have to go through 9.10, as long as upgrade goes ok, it will upgrade all the installed programs from repo [05:42] hey why i cannot install limewire? it says that i dont have sun-java6-jre | icedtea-java7-jre | sun-java6-jdk | icedtea-java7-jdk [05:42] I fully admit it sucks, If it wasn't my only option (on vacation so not near my main PC) [05:42] Tao: sudo mkdir /mnt/HDD && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/HDD [05:42] if i changed my wireless radio bandwith on my wireless router from 20 to 40 mhz is there performance to be gined? [05:42] !limewire | rodolfo_ [05:42] rodolfo_: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !Java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative. [05:42] tesla555: also 9.04 is :) still supported untill end of October, 10.10 is the 10th October as well on the Sunday [05:42] Jordan_U: Nothing. It does the load with the dots then stops. I ended up reinstalling 9.01. [05:42] heh...thats GAINED [05:42] rodolfo_: cause you need to install thoes packages to run it [05:43] relentless: cool, but it listed a million procs., how did it know to stop at the one I was looking for, luck? [05:43] sebsebseb, i tried reinstalling FF and it didn't help [05:43] zipper, run the program through terminal, and paste the output when it crashes [05:43] n2diy: ps x | grep gtfp [05:43] sebsebseb: i mean i one upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 on another system...i lost all vlc,java,etc [05:43] though, make sure you use pastebin if it's more than one line [05:43] ok [05:43] installed on ols [05:43] let me try [05:44] relentless: no it worked, and at the near end of the list, was gftp, was that luck? [05:44] Can you set up Apache so when a user goes to the web address it requires the user to log in prior to seeing what's available for downloading off of the apache web server? [05:44] I ssh -X uname@IP address .. now I want to start firefox.. after typing firefox it errors (no display specified).. how do I specify a display? [05:44] Jordan_U - I tried for a day to install 10.04 and had to give up. [05:44] n2diy: no kill the proccess [05:44] scunizi: Are you using screen? [05:44] Jordan_U: not on this instance [05:44] tesla555: ok yeah 9.04 to 9.10 upgrade might go wrong, but normally upgrades go fine [05:45] hmm [05:45] Jordan_U: I can though if needed.. [05:45] tesla555: Firefox won't open in Ubuntu? [05:45] tesla555: wrong one [05:45] relentless: its dead, killed on the first pass, was it just luck that it was displayed at the end of the screen where I could see it? [05:45] n2diy: yes [05:46] scunizi: I ask because it you are using screen, then $DISPLAY will be set to the value that screen was first started with, rather than being inherited from login. [05:46] relentless: ok, thanks [05:46] n2diy: well paste me in PM what it said [05:46] just to make sur [05:46] e [05:47] Jordan_U: ok.. I'll have to remember that.. got a possible solution for me? [05:47] relentless: it was listed right in front of my eyes, I did kill ps#, and it died, all is well, thanks. [05:47] cool [05:47] any reason why i can't run sudo as my user? [05:47] Wamphyri, what's the error? [05:47] Wamphyri: You are not in the sudoers? [05:48] Failed to run computer-janitor-gtk as user root. [05:48] The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator. [05:48] wheres a good place to learn about routers, network configurations and wireless network configs? [05:48] scunizi: If you have screen set to start at login (which byobu allows you to setup easily) then just exit the current shell and it should bring you to a non-screen prompt. [05:48] Wamphyri, i don't recommend computer janitor anyway [05:48] oh and modems ie, cable modems [05:48] sebsebseb: wat was my doubt is that...i have some set of apps in 9.04...like vlc,java,octave,all installed from package manager or apt...but when i upgrade it means it has to retain old apps...instead i loose all installed apps in 9.04 when i in 9.10 [05:48] j8 well i can't run the software center either [05:48] to clean up obsolete packages just type sudo apt-get autoremove [05:49] Zelozelos ... You can't hack a cable modem and have it work for more than a few days [05:49] tesla555: 9.10 offers no proper advantage over 9.04 [05:49] Wamphyri, why do you need to run the software centre through terminal? :\ [05:49] tesla555: 10.04 offers little proper advantage [05:49] scunizi: Then you can either run apps from there, or find the value of $DISPLAY to set it (and export it) within a screen session. [05:49] just select it from the menu [05:49] tesla555: may as well stay with 9.04 for now :) [05:49] Jordan_U: no.. I'm sshed in from my laptop to desktop and didn't initiate screen at all.. so are you saying getting ff to run remote via ssh is easier with screen running on the host or not? not really following. [05:49] what is proper advantage sebsebseb [05:49] Wamphyri, does ''sudo -i'' work? [05:49] Zelozelos: the Rute Manual? It is online, and in synaptic. [05:49] j8 not through terminal [05:50] ya i fell its stable [05:50] on my desktop lol [05:50] tesla555: you will even get a proper Firefox update soon, unless its already happended of course [05:50] Jordan_U: you gotta give me a mini how to.. [05:50] tesla555: I mean features that are truely worth upgrading for [05:50] scunizi: No, it's harder with screen. Does "echo $DISPLAY" print anything? [05:50] Wamphyri, it won't run software centre at all, or it won't accept your password? [05:50] so upgrade only update the OS n destroys all old apps [05:50] [sudo] password for wamphyri: [05:50] wamphyri is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [05:50] XFGoldenBBL, who said anything about hacking one? i just want to learn all about the one i have, i just bought a motorola router/modem and im itchin to set up my 1st network [05:50] tesla555: no [05:50] ah [05:50] tesla555: upgrades normally go fine, but [05:50] is it possible to restart a GUI (gnome) program running on a system? That is, if somebody was on it they'd see the program close, then open again? [05:50] j8 thats on sudo -i [05:50] tesla555: when 9.10 came out [05:50] lol [05:50] I have installed SABnzbD and would like it to auto start what do I need to change here http://pastebin.com/hX0x0G7V [05:51] Jordan_U: NOPE [05:51] Wamphyri, permissions aren't set. you the only user? [05:51] tesla555: a lot of people expereinced issues upgrading from 9.04 [05:51] Wamphyri, right, that's the issue .. did you install ubuntu on this machine? [05:51] Jordan_U: sorry.. had the caps lock on from $DISPLAY [05:51] 怎么都是英文a [05:51] yup [05:51] tesla555: as a result of some of those issues, some even clean installed and put 9.04 back on, even [05:51] !cn | mabt [05:51] mabt: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [05:51] mabt: welcome to #ubuntu-cn not here [05:51] hm [05:51] heh, looks like it does everything ...but i know nothin ;( [05:51] sebsebseb: is there a way to backup installed apps [05:51] !who | Wamphyri [05:51] j800r: haha [05:51] Wamphyri: 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 :) [05:51] o，知道了，谢谢 [05:52] mabt: keqi [05:52] Can you set up Apache so when a user goes to the web address it requires the user to log in prior to seeing what's available for downloading off of the apache web server? [05:52] Jordan_U: I'm using 9.10, not 9.01. It's installs perfectly. Displayed on my second monitor, allowed me to partition for it, etc. The wubi in the new version seems to get in the way. [05:52] tesla555: no don't think so, but in the future, it seems you will be able to easilly do a clean install with any apps you had before, and the settings [05:52] j8 which file has the sudo information? [05:52] Jordan_U: I'll tell you why I'm doing this.. I just installed ebox on my desktop and trying to access it remotely via my laptop [05:52] is it possible to launch a program to launch a gui program on the desktop using remote SSH? [05:52] tesla555: they have already started work on something, so yeah [05:52] Wamphyri, if you installed ubuntu yourself - log on as the first user you made and add this user to the adm group [05:53] lol, unop beat me to it [05:53] unop so i can't do it through terminal as root? [05:53] and did a far better job of explaining [05:53] Wamphyri, chicken and the egg situation - you need sudo to become root. [05:53] sebsebseb: k thanks [05:53] unop / j8 i only have 2 users root and this one [05:54] tesla555: 10.10 might even provide the btrfs file system by default, and that will provide a proper reason to clean install :) for now though 9.04 is rather fine indeed, still supported untill the end of Ocotber as well [05:54] unop no i don't very first thing i do with ubuntu is sudo passwd and set a password for root [05:54] Can I launch a GUI program on the server remotely using SSH? [05:54] unop so i don't need to "sudo" everything :p [05:54] #ubuntu-cn [05:54] Wamphyri, heh, so log on as root - and add your user to the adm group [05:54] tesla555: yes slightly older versions of a lot of programs, but so what [05:54] anyone know the SMTP server name for hotmail? [05:54] !rootsudo | Wamphyri [05:54] Wamphyri: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [05:54] sebsebseb: wat after october [05:55] I tried the 'alternate' version of 10.04 and that didn't work either. I'm in China and I'm wondering if others here are having the same problem. [05:55] 请问怎么进入中文聊天室呢？ [05:55] Wamphyri, we don't really support what you have done [05:55] tim2: 11.04 at the end of April [05:55] Grr.. Ok, so I'm trying to setup TwinView. I have an nVidia 8800GTS and using the newest drivers from nVidia.com. I have an Asus VW246H (24") on DVI and a Xerox XR3-17Gs (17") on DVI via VGA Adapter. The Xerox is showing as a CRT. How do I fix this? [05:55] 谁回答我a [05:55] sebsebseb: You can do an in place upgrade to btrfs :) [05:55] Jordan_U: maybe so, but I guess it will be like Ext3 to Ext4 conversion, can't gaurantee you have the proper thing [05:55] Wamphyri, logging in as root/superuser isn't really recommended. that's why sudo exists. [05:55] wich is the command for reconfigure the resolution on ubuntu lucid? [05:56] 只要使用此页 http://translate.google.com [05:56] How do you access ebox once installed.. [05:56] unop trying to remeber what file i need to edit in /etc to fix the grouping issue [05:56] Yo, how can I launch a gui program on the server using SSH? [05:56] sebsebseb: Not sure what you mean by "can't gaurantee you have the proper thing" [05:56] j8 yeah i know [05:56] tesla555: Newer is not always better, with Ubuntu it isn't about what is the letest, its about what is still supported :) [05:56] Further, 10.04 installed just fine on my netbook. [05:56] but the first distro i ran was debian 1.3 [05:56] Wamphyri, it's /etc/sudoers -- but you shouldn't edit this file directly, use the visudo command instead [05:56] mabt: #ubuntu-cn [05:56] Jordan_U: as far as I know got to clean install for full Ext4 support [05:56] then played with slack somthing and redhat 5.2 [05:56] SickAnimations: startx? [05:56] got a bit of a basis [05:57] Is it even possible to launch a gui program on the host machine remotely over SSH? [05:57] j8 i just forget alot of the stuff since its been a while lol [05:57] tim2: also I think 9.04 is the best version of Ubuntu that is still supported :) [05:57] unop thank you [05:57] tesla555: ^ [05:57] SickAnimations: been trying.. the answer is yes.. but tonight I must be brain dead because I can't remember how I did it in the past.. [05:57] !tab | Wamphyri [05:57] Wamphyri: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:58] unop is it sorta same thing as vipw? [05:58] sebsebseb: Yes, it seems so. [05:58] scunizi: Ah, so it's possible. Cheers :) Any suggestions on where to look for answers? [05:58] tim2: I messaged you there by mistake, your on 9.04? [05:58] Wamphyri, well, yes, except this is for the sudoers file [05:59] please, with what command i could reconfigure the resolution on ubuntu lucid? [05:59] SickAnimations: I think it's ssh -X uname@IP Address . . after that run a program.. but it's not working for me tonight [05:59] sebsebseb: Yes, after trying to upgrade to 10.04, I gave up and returned to 9.10 [05:59] nop ok the issue is tho that my username doesn't have the group sudo, the sudoers file is fine [05:59] scunizi: So you route the X session back to the machine itself? [05:59] tim2: ok well then thats 9.10, not 9.04 [05:59] nop/unop [05:59] SickAnimations, you want to run the GUI app on the remote machine or the local machine? [06:00] unop: The SSH host. That is, the machine I'm SSHing into. [06:00] unop: remote [06:00] Wamphyri, ok, then adduser your_user_name sudo [06:00] I have an nVidia 8800GTS and using the newest drivers from nVidia.com. I have an Asus VW246H (24") on DVI and a Xerox XR3-17Gs (17") on DVI via VGA Adapter. The Xerox is showing as a CRT. How do I fix this? [06:00] did someone message me [06:00] sebsebseb: Is there a version of 10.04 that installs like 9.01. I don't need the wubi stuff. [06:00] sebsebseb: The features that people care about with btrfs, snapshotting and other fun COW features, are available after conversion from ext3/4. The existing data may not be quite as efficiently placed on disk (for instance, if you're upgrading from ext3 no existing files will be using extends) but IMHO that doesn't matter much compared to the COW features that you will get. [06:00] is the smtp server name gonna be pop3.live.com for hotmail? [06:01] SickAnimations, set DISPLAY before running the command then. ssh you@host 'DISPLAY=blah gui_app >/dev/null 2>&1 &' [06:01] Jordan_U: uhmm Ext does not have snapshots. COW features? [06:01] Hello everyone need help with permission's on a new drive I installed. I can create folders as root but not as a normal user [06:01] smtp.hotmail.com [06:01] unop: Oh, thanks. What is [06:01] tim2: oh you been doing Wubi? [06:01] unop: what is the =blah portion? anything you want? [06:02] sebsebseb: I'm talking about the conversion from ext3/4 to btrfs. [06:02] unop: What is "blah" ? and what is 2>&1 & - if you have time... [06:02] tim2: Wubi is ok for short term trying, when it works, but in the long run proper partitioned install is better :) [06:02] how add backtrack 4 men on Ubuntu 10.04? [06:03] the only real downside to wubi i've seen is a mild disk performance hit [06:03] wow mac4lin looks good in desktop [06:03] Jordan_U: yeah I didn't know what you meant by COW, (Moo Moo) [06:03] i ran it for 2 year on my work machien :) [06:03] scunizi, SickAnimations. well, the default is :0.0 ... but you can find out with ps ef | grep -io DISPLAY=.... | sort -u [06:03] sebsebseb: The wubi stuff came with 10.04. I haven't found 10.04 without it. [06:03] cairo-dock is aswsome [06:03] !backtrack | adahendra [06:03] adahendra: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [06:03] tim2: How did you instal 10.04? [06:03] Hey y'all. I'm having some trouble installng Ubuntu. I'm assuming this is the place to go? [06:03] For help, I mean. >_> [06:03] unop: Thanks very much :) I appreciate the help. [06:03] SickAnimations, the redirection and backgrounding part ( >/dev/null 2>&1 &) is needed to stop ssh from hanging until the app is finished running, [06:04] sebsebseb: Btrfs is a copy on write filesystem, which means that you can do things like "cp --reflink somebigfile somenewcopy" and somenewcopy will use the same data blocks as somebigfile, but unlike with hardlinks you can modify somenewcopy without changing somebigfile. Only differences are written. [06:04] !anyone | SquirrelPants [06:04] SquirrelPants: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [06:04] unop: I see. Thanks again :) [06:04] tim2: Ubuntu can be installed inside WIndows using Wubi, or the Live CD can be booted and a proper partitioned install can be made :) plus there are other ways it can be installed [06:04] Heh. [06:04] sebsebseb: It's also what allows instant, writeable snapshots. [06:04] ask away SquirrelPants. someone will try and help you if they can [06:05] adahendra, and adding the backtrack repos to ubuntu is not a good i dea all it does is corrupt it [06:05] Jordan_U: ah right ok, yeah I don't know much about it at the moment, but yeah full system restore snapshots do sound rather nice [06:05] unop can you edit the group file directly? [06:05] hi [06:05] Alright. I got the Ubuntu 10.04 ISO extracted onto a CD and all that, and it is in my computer. It got to a loading screen, and it appeared to be working up until [06:05] whoops [06:05] ...it appeared to be working up until it opened up a terminal sort of deal. [06:05] @hiexpo ; ok , [06:05] Jordan_U: yeah and its meant to be the alternative to ZFS or whatever as well [06:06] SquirrelPants, er... you EXTRACTED the ISO? o.0 [06:06] Erm [06:06] not extracted. [06:06] I just installed an ubuntu server and I'm wondering, was it good to install into an Encrypted LVM partition? [06:06] Wamphyri, no, not a good idea - if you fumble and make a mistake, you risk locking yourself (and other users) out of the system [06:06] all you need to do is burn it as an image onto disc [06:06] I mean I got it onto a CD. [06:06] Yeah. [06:06] That's what I meant. Just...said it weird. >_> [06:06] SquirrelPants: burn [06:06] sebsebseb: I tried to do the live CD but it wouldn't work. It stopped after the little dots finished lighting. So I was obliged to use wubi. [06:06] ok, and it just loaded into a terminal? [06:07] tim2: oh [06:07] Yeah. [06:07] Wamphyri, use vipw to edit the group file -- or better use one of the many user and group management tools. things like useradd, usermod, userdel, etc [06:07] unop: when I run that command I only get a > prompt [06:07] tim2: a bad burn possibily [06:07] tim2: or ISO [06:07] scunizi, which command? [06:07] unop thank you :) [06:07] !md5sum > tim2 [06:07] tim2, please see my private message [06:07] can anyone tell me if there is an event in Upstart that I can trap to ensure that a CIFS unmount script runs before any sort of network down scenario when I shut down or reboot? I understand that this is not a strictly Ubuntu related question, but I am not getting any traction in #upstart [06:07] sebsebseb: yes, perhaps. [06:07] has flash been crashing like crazy for anyone else since the 64-bit version was scrapped? [06:07] tim2: You could try the alternate install CD, it will almost always successfully install... the only problems is that whatever bug is preventing the liveCD from booting might prevent the installed system from booting as well. [06:08] tim2: right and what happended to the 10.04 Wubi? === me is now known as Guest60650 [06:08] hi all [06:08] why doesnt a live cd have root passwd [06:08] unop: the remote X line .. I had actually forgotten to put the final ' mark at the end of the line.. when I did that it asked for a password from the remote machine and after entered .... nothing [06:08] how to use proxy in ubuntu 10.04 ? [06:08] !root | tesla555 [06:08] tesla555: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [06:08] jsut doin sudo--i [06:08] SquirrelPants, you could try burning again. the burn may not have been fully successful, or try downloading again in case the ISO itself is corrupt. otherwise i'm not sure why it wouldn't boot at all for you. maybe a hardware thing :\ [06:09] so basically the problem I am having is that it is not installing correctly. Instead of going to the regular install and asking for your language and whatnot, it is sending me to a terminal and I have no idea how to fix it. [06:09] scunizi, so, you're saying the command ran on the remote machine but nothing happened? [06:09] sebsebseb, that ubottu response is hilarious. almost a direct Matrix quote :P [06:09] unop: yep [06:09] tim2: ah well 9.10 is better than 10.04 in certain ways :) [06:09] scunizi, are you sure you got the right value for DISPLAY ? [06:09] I suppose I will try that, j800r. If the problem isn't the burn then I have no idea what to do. [06:10] j800r: Is it? [06:10] Thanks for the help, I suppose. [06:10] unop: I used the other command .. I used 0.0 .. or should it have been 0:0? [06:10] 9.04 >10.04 [06:10] scunizi, DISPLAY=:0.0 [06:10] tesla555: yes 9.04 better than 10.04 really :) [06:10] Can you set up Apache so when a user goes to the web address it requires the user to log in prior to seeing what's available for downloading off of the apache web server? [06:10] unop: If you used ":0.0" then it ran on the display connected to the server directly. [06:10] unop: yep .. that's what I used [06:10] scunizi: ^^ [06:10] Roasted: yes. look into .htaccess. [06:10] Is there a way to install Ubuntu like Fedora where you can click Encrypt System and then enter Key for encryption? [06:10] Jordan_U: I tried the alternate version also. I took forever and then failed. [06:10] Jordan_U, that's the idea. [06:11] Jordan_U: unop ah.. [06:11] Roasted: I'm sure it's covered extensively in the apache faq:s [06:11] SwedeMike, thanks [06:11] scunizi, ? [06:11] tim2: 9.10 for now then, uhmm you can probably then upgrade through 10.04, after the final release of 10.10 [06:11] unop: just responding to what Jordan_U said above.. to you [06:12] tim2: or do a clean install of 10.10 of course, but yeah thats the future, quite a while yet [06:12] hi how to make the SSL certificate and use it with apache? [06:12] scunizi, let's see the command you tried. [06:12] can anyone guide me on that? [06:12] tim2: however 9.04 does run out of support at the end of October, and then your meant to be running something later [06:12] piyushmishra: check out the apache website faq:s, it should be in ther. [06:12] tim2: uh nevermind, you said 9.10, you got untill the end of April next year [06:12] unop: ssh -X mark@192.168.0.50 'DISPLAY=0:1 firefox >/dev/null 2>&1 &' [06:12] sebsebseb: Thanks for the message. I'll try the checksum verification. Anyway, I'm happy with 9.10. [06:13] Can someone help me setup my xorg.conf file to manually configure my secondary LCD monitor? [06:13] scunizi: I assumed that you wanted the window to appear on the machine that you are sshing from, rather than on the display connected to the server directly. Is that correct? [06:13] unop: also with 0.0 and 0:0 [06:13] Jordan_U: yes [06:13] scunizi, that's an invalid value for DISPLAY .. and you don't need -X here as you're not forwarding X to the localmachine [06:13] Is there a way to install Ubuntu like Fedora where you can click Encrypt System and then enter Key for encryption? [06:14] scunizi: I think that the problem is that your server has X forewarding disabled for some reason. [06:14] scunizi, :0.0 not 0.0 or 0:0 [06:14] Jordan_U, he's not trying to forward X, rather run an X app on the remote machine. [06:15] unop: Jordan_U ok.. I'll have to tackle this again tomorrow sometime.. I've gotta hit the hay as they say.. Thank you both for the input [06:15] unop: Read his response to my last question :) [06:15] Jordan_U, well, that's not what he was trying to help the OP with -- the OP's requirement was to get it to run on the remote machine [06:16] sebsebseb: i downlaoded and installed virtualbox-3.2_3.2.4-62467~Ubuntu~jaunty_i386.deb and double click n installed...i dont ficd virtaul box in the menu after install [06:17] ya got it [06:17] unop: Jordan_U Isn't the machine I'm ssh-ing from the remote machine to the one I'm connecting to? [06:17] Yo yo yo [06:18] tesla555: if programs don't add them selves to menu after install, you can re install or log out and back in again to the account, and they will probably be there, well unless of course they are command line apps for example [06:18] Tesla555: add an entry to run Virtualbox (the capital V is important). Should be ok [06:18] scunizi, use the terms local and remote - they better indicate which machine you mean. local is the one you run the ssh command on, remote is the machine you connect to [06:18] is there a scanning program in linux that doesn't suck? [06:18] ya its ok now [06:18] !language | spvensko [06:18] spvensko: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:18] i tried small v [06:18] unop: ah ok..

Lots of kids awake [06:20] but in #ubuntu? [06:20] and offended by "suck"? [06:20] Spvensko: I think its fine but what I say doesn't go [06:20] spvensko, you can choose better vocabulary than that, i'm sure. [06:20] spvensko: I think that was unop being slightly silly, or wanting to use the factoid [06:20] i hear more offensive language during prime time TV [06:20] Can someone help me setup my xorg.conf file to manually configure my secondary LCD monitor? [06:21] spvensko: ubottu is less than 6 years old! [06:21] sebsebseb, actually no, people have been kicked out for using it before. [06:21] perhaps someone can suggest a scanning program that doesn't scan at 10 ppm by default [06:21] spvensko: And he's here all the time. [06:21] Stevething: what video card? [06:21] unop: really?

[06:21] sebsebseb, and i've been here for over 5 years, i know not to be trigger happy with the bot :) [06:21] unop: well if they say in a troll type way that Ubuntu sucks, for example, then well I understand why they would get kicked out maybe for it [06:21] is there any interface for text to voice on ubuntu that uses festival, appart fromt the command line? [06:21] ActionParsnip, nVidia 8800GTS (640MB) [06:22] in the last step I get an error can anyone help? [06:22] sebsebseb, no no, it was in a similar context [06:22] Stevething: if you have the proprietary drivers installed you can use nvidia-settings [06:22] spvensko just means people need to use the brains and use proper vocabular :p [06:22] unop: ah yes [06:22] SteveThing: Try nvidia-settings as super user and configure it then select save to conf file option [06:22] ActionParsnip, I'm aware, but it detects the secondary monitor as CRT [06:22] unop: however people are alloweed their opinions on programs [06:22] troll question succeeded. [06:23] Stevething: if you want an xorg.conf file you can run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings [06:23] unop: not everyone will ike Simple Scan [06:23] can anyone here please do me a favour and type in a sentence with my nickname mentioned in it, and then type in another sentence that starts with "Incarnation:" without the quotes? I need to test something [06:23] Incarnation: hello. [06:23] Stevething: you can then setup the display and click "save to x config file" [06:23] sebsebseb, well slightly besides the point - dissent is fine, just keep the language tasteful. [06:23] Incarnation: /join #test [06:23] Incarnation: Incarnation without the quotes [06:23] prince_jammys: yeah I guess it worked, however I don't think it was a troll question [06:23] Can no one tell me how to encryp the entire system on installing Ubuntu? :( [06:23] Stevething: it will see a crt as its probably using vga port rather than dvi, doesn't really matter though [06:24] *encrypt [06:24] ActionParsnip and soreau, I know about those, but the problem isn't resolved that wat. [06:24] unop lets see if i destroyed my group and group shadow files lmao [06:24] brb need to reboot [06:24] Wamphyri, heh [06:24] sebsebseb is right, simple scan legitimately sucks [06:24] SteveThing: Well the nvidia driver sucks [06:24] unop: we could probably go on about this for a while, this word is good, this word is bad, but lets stop now, its making things go off topic [06:24] sebsebseb: is there an in linux that doesn't suck? I'd rank that in the troll's top 10. [06:24] Is there a way to get a later version of xl2tpd in apt-get install? The one in there is not compatible with the kernel verison of the os [06:24] Stevething: if you doesn't give the resolution you want simply set the res then edit xorg.conf to set the res [06:24] ActionParsnip, I've spent the last 2 hours trying to setup TwinView, but I keep getting mode errors... I read on the forums it was due to the CRT detection [06:24] Or am I on my own for a compile here?

I can't find info on Launchpad. I know, its in Universe but there should be some info related with it I suppose. Package: fortune-debian-hints Any suggestions? [06:35] update for the package name, s was missing: fortunes-debian-hints === Zaz is now known as Guest61770 [06:36] marenostrum: Have you filed a bug report? === hplqbhco is now known as FloodBot5 === FloodBot5 is now known as FloodBot6 [06:37] Jordan_U: First I am trying to find the main page of the package.

[06:38] unop: Thank you very much [06:39] hi [06:39] hey [06:39] hello [06:40] my RAID struggle continues ... [06:40] whats the issue [06:40] i had a raid issue today. fixed it [06:40] installed ubuntu server 10.4 [06:40] on RAID0 [06:41] have non-raid boot partition [06:41] and now I managed to boot into grub [06:41] but it doesn't show mennu [06:41] just the cmd line [06:41] not sure what to do from there [06:42] define: doesnt show menu. [06:42] tried running the linux cmd from the grub config manually [06:42] Howdy Ya'll [06:42] do you mean grub goes thru cli [06:42] but did nothing [06:43] well, grub boots and I have a prompt [06:43] no menu to choose from [06:43] Under Sound preferences I have nothing listed under hardware and no sound either. Laptop. Was messing with USB Dongle and Skype headset. [06:43] yes [06:43] menu? do you mean no kernel options, nick? [06:43] it doesn't go through really [06:44] see, there is grub.cnf which has options in it, but grub is not displaying a menu when ot boots [06:44] I reinstalled it from a live cd so maybe this broke it [06:44] quick question, I have a need to install ubuntu as a LAMP server under VMWare. How much smaller is the memory footprint of the server version? I'm deciding between buying another 2GB for the Macbook or just installing Server. [06:45] is there any other OS on the drive nick? [06:45] nope [06:45] clean install [06:46] on 10.04, grub should auto-select the newest kernel. i suspect the .iso you used is currupt [06:46] does ubuntu need firewall [06:46] i had the same issue last month on a trixbox iso [06:46] I doubt [06:46] Guest26790, yes [06:47] I don't get a grub menu [06:47] that or maybe a drive issue. [06:47] and then the other problem is, I read that I need mdadm to boot from RAID0 [06:47] I lost my sound settings. No harware listed [06:47] anyone have a take on my question? [06:47] and I doubt that the installer installed this properly [06:47] or rather, at all [06:47] mdadm is an option. apt-get install mdadm [06:48] Sam_Fisher, y [06:48] hey all... How can I tell/discover if my computer uses an EFI or is compatible with it? Forgive the newbieness of this [06:48] please [06:48] another question - when installing from the ubuntu server cd, it required internet connection and went through 10 hours of downloading before the install completed [06:48] thats not right [06:48] Well, I'm getting really annoyed with linux again.

Also, most FOSS developers that have to work with EFI dislike it. [06:51] Wamphyri, no y [06:51] hola ? [06:51] usb ports?

You'll know how the rest of us feel. [07:11] FYI, for those using dual monitors with the latest nvidia drivers and going from Seperate X windows to TwinView, you need to wipe your xorg.conf by doing sudo nvidia-xconfig, then disable the second monitor in the NVidia Settings GUI. Once that is done, restart X-Server via sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart, then login again. Once you are logged in, configure the second monitor as TwinView and restart X-Server again!

[07:55] wise_crypt, i meant i want it to prompt me for password even if it is in my own login [07:55] tarek: please close your synaptic [07:55] simar: apparently there is a firefox addon for that.

[07:58] Hello [07:58] prince_jammys: do you use firefox so some other .. I think firefox is not that efficient .. it slows down a lot when a bug page in launchpad is open .. otherwise it is also not so comfortable .. actually i nedd your advice .. [07:58] tarek: dont remove synaptic its nothing wrong with synaptic i assume, you can killit by killall synaptic [07:58] * happy_ i returned and ubuntu-cn no one can help me [07:58] simar: i do use firefox, yes. [07:58] Can you use Jumbo Frames without a switch and just a cross-over cable between servers?

[08:02] prince_jammys: does that work on lock files, probably not because they are orphined, huh...I think I answered that myself... [08:02] greezmunkey: it should work [08:03] prince_jammys: could check /var/lock, then run it I suppose... [08:03] Hi, I have this problem with zynaddfubfx in lucid lynx: the effects don't work.

[08:09] nuboon2age, i dont think anything has changed [08:09] tarek: if you really need mysql-server do sudo apt-get install mysql --six-missing [08:09] wise_crypt, i dont think it changed anything [08:09] nuboon2age_: line 7 [08:09] i'll try it [08:09] help [08:09] <_jesse_> ericthehax: chose me randomly to steal my money!? what is zynaddsubfx [08:09] help [08:09] tarek: if you really need mysql-server do sudo apt-get install mysql --fix-missing * [08:09] <_jesse_> ericthehax: nvm I found it [08:09] zynaddsubfx, best synth ever === ericm-afk is now known as ericm [08:10] wise_crypt: oh, to remove the old mysql packages, ok yeah. [08:10] Any ideas how I could get my headset to work with Ubuntu? It's Creative Fatality and I'd mainly use it for skyp action. Sound works just fine -- but the microphone input doesn't appear in the sound preferences/devices. [08:10] so what sound system does lucid lynx use that I can't change? [08:10] i used rsyjc t0 sync a /media./../downloads dir from one drive to another, no realising they were nonoverlaping sets, and with rsync -av --delete /source /dest, and its deleted a list of files.. can i get them back from some undelete util ?? [08:11] wise_crypt: isn't the output saying it couldn't complete because mysql is running and tarek needs to manually stop it before dpkg can complete upgrade? [08:11] <_jesse_> ericthehax: I dunno, I think pulseaudio is the default for most apps [08:11] bouma: with great pain [08:11] nuboon2age_: i think so [08:11] bouma: if at all [08:11] well zynaddsubfx mentions oss, the package says something about alsa, and i dont know if pulse is the problem [08:11] wise_crypt, http://pastebin.com/XVtwMgra [08:12] nuboon2age, http://pastebin.com/XVtwMgra [08:12] prince_jammys: isnt there a lost an found dir ?> or is that just fro efsk fragments [08:12] <_jesse_> ericthehax: hmm I see, yeah you could try setting it to asla if possible, I'm afraid I'm not terribly familiar with the audio systems [08:12] nuboon2age, wise_crypt, sorry for bothering with this guys [08:12] <_jesse_> or how they interact with zynaddsubfx in particular [08:12] tarek: sudo dpkg --configure -a [08:12] how am i gonna set it to alsa? nothing seems to let me [08:12] bouma: they wouldn't go to a lost/found if you told the system to delete them [08:13] I have an NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT. How do I know if it's using h264 acceleration? I'm using nvidia's drivers. [08:13] glxinfo [08:13] nuboon2age, wise_crypt, http://pastebin.com/rtc0PN6u [08:13] bouma: can you recreate them from a back up?

[08:14] something talls me unless i master my trade now, im not gonna be able to change the audio system anytime soon [08:14] so guys... I can't keep a web browser open. they all keep crashing. I think its an issue with flash. how do I remove a file with root permissions? [08:14] nuboon2age, wise_crypt, is there a way to completely remove that broken mysql package? [08:14] s/talls/tells [08:15] bouma: i don't know methods of file recovery. maybe others here do. you'd definitely want to unmount the partition/device. [08:15] TANK: What should I look for? [08:15] MorkBork: help................I was originally using ubuntu server to install but I ditched it for debian, it can't detect my ethernet connection [08:15] tarek: follow the instruction about killling it which nuboon2age_ give you [08:15] MorkBork: what do I do? [08:15] <_jesse_> ericthehax: yeah you're right, seems to be using OSS specifically [08:15] <_jesse_> I'm afraid I can't help you much further with such a problem though :-/ [08:15] oops wrong channel [08:15] crazy2k: what do you mean? [08:15] *facepalm* [08:15] wise_crypt: tarek, actually i think it was prince_jammys who said sudo fuser -vki /var/cache/debconf/config.dat [08:16] shit never hit the fan before they made the audio system in ubuntu unchangeable [08:16] Tank, make sure you dont have web browser parts running now [08:16] WHY did they even do that? [08:16] ericthehax: watch your language [08:16] <_jesse_> ericthehax: well it's the app that's doing that, not ubuntu :p [08:16] nuboon2age, wise_crypt, ok then? [08:16] ok then diarrhea hit the fan [08:16] nuboon2age_: my bad [08:16] <_jesse_> ericthehax: ubuntu is more than happy to let you use whatever sound system you like :) [08:17] tank I think it's top that shows you what is happening now [08:17] _jesse_: not lucid apparently. [08:17] no firefox instances running [08:17] wise_crypt: :) [08:17] no chromium ones either [08:17] ericthehax: its not unchangeable. you can turn off pulseaudio autospawn and add yourself to the audio group. streams might stop being mixed since thats kinda the point of having pulseaudio but hey, if you dont WANT the feature of being able to have a flash video open and hear notification sounds from pidgin, thats fine... [08:17] what makes it die? [08:17] TANK: Sorry, thought you were answering my question. [08:18] crazy2k oh lol [08:18] tank what happens when you launch it? (is there anything else running that competes?) === smith is now known as smithh [08:18] tarek: so what happened when you did that? [08:18] maco: nothing seems to support pulse so..... meh. [08:18] tripelb it launches, i might be able to load a page, then ill load another, then any open browser window, be it firefox or chromium will crash [08:18] is there any web based internal chat server in ubuntu [08:18] TANK: do the browsers die without being asked to load Flash content? or do they die when Flash is encountered? [08:18] greeezmunkey; tyhe internet is the backup (like real men), and as it was on ntfs , and rsyned in linux then had the partition resised to 38gig and win7 installed over it.. i might just say good bye [08:19] nuboon2age, wise_crypt, it might have fixed something, can you please guys suggest a package to install? [08:19] the browsers also die when i attempt to access any preferences [08:19] Yo~. Sc00t3r is back. [08:19] nuboon2age, it killed the process i believe [08:19] ericthehax: you have a funny definition of "nothing"! so there's something in particular that doesnt support it and it happens to be something you need i guess. what is it? audacity? thats a common one... i know phonon supports it nowadays even (well it supported it for a long while, but now it supports it *well*) [08:19] Tank, as a first step you might disable all add-ons. [08:19] how, crashes if I try [08:19] can anyone tell me that is there any web based internal chat server in ubuntu [08:20] tribpelb, I think he means he can't access -any- preference in the browser. [08:20] TANK: try this command in a terminal "mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-orig" (no quotes) and then launch Firefox and see what happens [08:20] tarek: well to get mysql you just need to stop the mysql that's running and THEN run the command that wise_crypt gave you. [08:20] tank tank kill the preferences file completely. Not while the program is running. I had that. [08:20] TANK, have you tried installing Chromium browser? It's apparently a bit more stable than FireFox.. [08:20] tank I dont know where it is offhand. [08:20] sc00t3r, running both, both having same issue [08:20] i believe its a problem with flash [08:21] TANK, That's odd. They just crash when you try to access a prefernece? [08:21] or load a page [08:21] nuboon2age, i think mysql finally installed correctly [08:21] TANK: try firefox -safe-mode in terminal [08:21] tank I think you might want to reinstall flash after you kill preferences. [08:21] ive tried apt-get purge on em and re installed them, it just dont work [08:21] bouma: yeah, that's a tough one. Sorry to hear it. There is a utility that can help recover deleted files, but it has to be running before the files are deleted to work - won't help you now. Google on 'get it I say file recovery' [08:21] nuboon2age, i think mysql finally installed correctly without the other commands [08:21] tarek: output? [08:22] tank I heard you about remove and reinstall. That's interesting. [08:22] ericthehax: a good command to know about for the few apps that remain incompatible with pulse is "pasuspender" [08:22] while trying to launch gvim from terminal i get this errors...** (gvim:2830): CRITICAL **: gtk_form_set_static_gravity: assertion `static_gravity_supported' failed... [08:22] bus error, is that hardware? [08:22] TANK, have you tried running sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree ti get Flash working? [08:22] how to fix this? [08:22] <_jesse_> a5h15h: I get those too, I think it's an open bug, doesn't stop you from using it though [08:22] tank, will ff run without flash? [08:22] tarek: could you pastebin the output again? [08:23] tripelb, FireFox comes without Flash, so yes. [08:23] nuboon2age, because i just installed another program and everything went flawlessss no errooorrr [08:23] ... i see not what pasuspender does, but the name implies it suspends pulseaudio === ShapeShifter499_ is now known as ShapeShifter499 [08:23] ericthehax: no, that app holds up your Dad's pants. [08:23] tank my chrome flash fails every so often. then ff flash works. Sc00t3r - I was asking him if it crashes when he uses a FF without flash installed. [08:24] ericthehax, By the name, I would guess it suspends Pulseaudio? [08:24] nuboon2age, ''sudo fuser -vki /var/cache/debconf/config.dat'' this command seemed to be the key [08:24] bbs [08:24] _jesse_, there's a fix for it..but dont know how to apply it...http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.2/7.2.257 [08:24] again, when I try to go into firefox safemode, i get a bus error [08:24] mneptok: heh [08:24] <_jesse_> a5h15h: here's the ticket https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/402188 [08:24] TANK: try this command in a terminal "mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-orig" (no quotes) and then launch Firefox and see what happens [08:24] tripelb, It is odd that it is crashing in the first place... Wonder if he's missing some critical packages? [08:24] mneptok: what exactly does that do? [08:25] <_jesse_> a5h15h: you'd need to download the source and apply the patch, does it really bother you that much :p that warning doesn't kill the program [08:25] sc00t3r, how would I be, its a fresh install === csaba_ is now known as csaba [08:25] TANK, What are you running? [08:25] nuboon2age, http://pastebin.com/ZNNUNfZJ [08:25] Are there any c# channels ? [08:25] <_jesse_> a5h15h: it's just a warning [08:25] TANK: moves your prefs and plugins aside for the moment.

[08:25] IGNORE * +ALL -MSG [08:25] doh :( [08:26] raider__: #c-sharp, I think [08:26] TANK: it will force FF to run with a blank (default) profile [08:26] TANK, Did you cancel the downloads for the extra packages?

[10:24] ravibn, for booting as a virtual machine, my advice is to use Virtualbox for windows rather than Virtual PC - you need to enable EM64 extensions in your virtual PC otherwise. as an aside, what was the error you got when you tried it on your laptop itself ? [10:24] how do u suppose to find a CD that can burn 754MB?

[11:28] hey everyone, on my ubuntu machine, how can I make sure that a file on a FAT volume (usb memory stick) is marked as hidden for windows? [11:28] AdvoWork, pgrep syslog && echo "yay, it runs." [11:29] i have an interesting issue, im wondering if anyone could shed some light on. I have 2 sites that are live. On both it seems that I am unable to log into them. In any browser i used i could not login. or if i did it would go to my user account then say access denied (not logged in). Giving my user/pass to a friend, they were able to log in.even using their user/pass. On my end, nothing. BUT, when i log into windows (was using ubuntu 9.10) I [11:29] can log in perfectly fine. so im not sure what could be causing that issue. [11:29] ive cleared cache many times, and im not using a proxy. I dont know what could cause this sort of problem [11:30] AdvoWork: sudo service sysklogd status && echo running || echo not running [11:30] gives: sudo: service: command not found [11:30] not running [11:30] can i start it easily enough? [11:31] AdvoWork: Ah, service is new in 9.10 iirc. sudo /etc/init.d/sysklogd status on older releases [11:31] hi anyone have tried the ubuntu moblin remix? [11:31] Where is the apache root? [11:31] can i install it on top of ubuntu8.04? [11:32] xae8koo: /var/www/ ? [11:33] hi [11:33] hi [11:33] è il canale italiano? [11:33] non credo.

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [11:33] !it [11:34] geirha, that just gives: * Usage: /etc/init.d/sysklogd {start|stop|reload|restart|force-reload|reload-or-restart} [11:35] AdvoWork: Hm. Then it doesn't have a way to report status on your system. (It does in 9.10). You'll have to use pgrep as unop described. [11:36] geirha, tried: pgrep sysklogd && echo "yay, it runs." gave nothing [11:36] anyone here know how to set max output above 100% in alsamixer? [11:38] AdvoWork: The actual daemon is not named sysklogd. Try pgrep syslog [11:38] AdvoWork, did you mean syslogd ? [11:39] pgrep syslog && echo "yay, it runs." still gives nothing, as does syslogd [11:39] AdvoWork, strange [11:40] unop, very :s [11:40] AdvoWork, have a look through ps aux? [11:41] though that's unlikely to show any different [11:41] AdvoWork, maybe the service has been stopped?

[11:45] I'm trying to remember the command used in terminal to open up a folder. I remember it started with "nau" i believe [11:45] jimi_, I guess - there might be some other util that might be able to do this - i know vlc can do this .. [11:45] mmfb, nautilus ?

[11:56] ahox, so you can do something like. ln -s "$(readlink -f foo)" foo [11:56] Can anyone help me with the ubuntu installation process? My install sticks at 5% (Creating ext4 filesystem for/in partition #1 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdb)). [11:57] ahox, you might need to force the overwrite with -f. ln -svf "$(readlink -f foo)" foo [11:57] unop: thanks, just doing that right now [11:57] ahox, do you have many files you have to do this for. [11:57] ? [11:58] ahox: have you tried man readlink? [11:58] and do you know a way to do it the other way round? decanonicalize the whole thing? [11:58] just doing that - one just have to know the right command [11:58] about 100'000 files. But this should be easy enough with find and xargs [11:59] only null pts shm [11:59] ahox, you mean get relative paths from absolute ones? [12:00] only null pts shm under dev ie ls /dec gives null pts shm [12:00] I'm getting an error on DevicePath for my Canon laser printer [12:01] Since updating to lucid, it stoped working. I updated the driver, but still getting this error. [12:01] yes, my problem is that I have to move files within a directory which will change the hirarchy of some files. So my idea was to convert them first to absolute links and then when I am done back to relative ones. And I really need the relative ones [12:02] ahox: readlink -f foo will display file status in the format foo. At least that's what my man command says. [12:03] here it says it will simply display the canoicalized form [12:03] Can anyone help me with the ubuntu installation process? My install sticks at 5% (Creating ext4 filesystem for/in partition #1 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdb)). [12:03] tmas, did you try an fsck? [12:03] tmas: i don't know the fix the problem in the installer problem. but, you could try formating your partitions from gparted in livecd ahead of time, and then installing to existing partitions . (i'm sure there is a better answer though) [12:03] ahox, perl -mFile::Spec -e 'print File::Spec->abs2rel( +shift )' /path/to/your/file # prints it relative to $PWD [12:04] ahox: I'm trying it right now. [12:04] ahox, you can also give abs2rel another argument i.e. the basedir if you don't want it done based on $PWD -- see http://perldoc.perl.org/File/Spec/Unix.html [12:04] d [12:04] unop: thnx a lot, that looks indeed perfect [12:05] ahox: How would I run fsck on sdb?

I'm using "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/geforcegt330m.raw" and "metamodes" "DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0" in xorg.conf so it's custom made xorg.conf. Is there any way to get HDMI output working with this? [13:24] Dr_Willis: still no success [13:24] DamienCassou: Actually on this NEW install i did yesterday.. it defaulted to the vfat being writeable.. and the ntfs even .. [13:24] thune3 - all sounds (front left, front center, and front right) all play through only the right speaker [13:24] Rr: do you have to reload alsa every time you restart Ubuntu? [13:24] I have configured my system, using gconf-editor to have only one workspace - why are the tabs still offering me the option of moving to another workspace - and more to the point how do I stop this? [13:24] at least i dont recall running ntfs-config on this box.. i might have done it yesterday [13:25] <[Screamo]> And i am going to install a pci audio card, maybe that will give me sound [13:26] DamienCassou: you could always just mount the thing by hand/command line [13:27] Dr_Willis: I tried using 'mount -o rw ...' without success [13:27] thune3: all sounds (front left, front center, and front right) all play through only the right speaker [13:27] Dr_Willis: I always get the message that the drive is write protected and thus it mounts read-only [13:28] ziggy_: don't know why alsa didn't work. maybe it was in use by flash and it left it i a bad state. that its not just no-sound for flash after the flash upgrade was a surprise..

[13:47] suck. you can't disable logging in empathy which makes it a no-go for my work environment [13:47] kryptyk It asked me if I wanted to installed Grub and I of course said yes [13:48] #grub [13:48] LjL: After putting in the correct command I get this -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/450083/ [13:49] mmfb: you can't just type a filename containing spaces like that in bash. you need to put it inside "quotation marks" [13:49] saywatmang: lsusb - list USB devices [13:50] pushpop: check out this page - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [13:50] That will walk you through reinstalling GRUB from the Live CD [13:50] ok ill check it out [13:50] also what is the fastest/best file system to use [13:51] Everyone has there preferences - I generally run XFS [13:51] LjL: Now I get this... mount: can't find /home/mmfb/Downloads/Star Wars Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast/Star wars jedi knight II jedi outcast$ in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [13:51] i run ext4, but that's just because it came as default in u9.10 ... [13:51] (imho, it feels faster than ext3) [13:51] mmfb: "mkdir ~/Jedi ; sudo mount -o loop jedi2.iso ~/Jedi" [13:52] pushpop: it is worth noting that FXS is a 64bit file system [13:52] XFS* [13:52] mmfb: do what he said, it's much better than mounting on a probably non-existant extremely long filename. [13:53] empathy doesn't like it if you symbolically link its logs directory to /dev/null [13:53] rdg: why do you do that? [13:53] i can't have logs [13:53] work requirement [13:53] well, then just disable logging in empathy? [13:53] it's not an option [13:53] it's been an open bug for nearly 2 years [13:53] really? [13:54] whew [13:54] It tells me that jedi2.iso is no such file or directory. :( [13:54] rdg: then just run a cronjob that cleans out log dir every 5 minutes [13:54] seems like the kind of bug that would stop you from using such a program as the default IM program for anything, to me :| [13:54] yup. means medical professionals, certain government personnel, and others can't use it [13:55] hi [13:55] mmfb: well, you're the only one who can know what the actual ISO file is called, i can't guess that for you :) [13:55] !crontab>rdg [13:55] rdg, please see my private message [13:55] rdg: I never understood the switch from pidgin to empathy [13:55] It's "jedi2.iso" [13:55] Dear all , I come from Shanghai [13:55] mmfb: perhaps it has Capitals? or it isn't in the current directory? [13:56] mmfb: Go to the current directory that jedi2.iso sits in, then run that command. [13:56] hey everyone, how can I simulate on the commandline the mount that happens when I insert a usb stick? There is no fstab entry or anything, but still ubuntu automounts it. Just calling "mount /dev/sdc1" won't work since it looks in fstab. Any clues how I could do that? (I am creating a script) [13:56] ok [13:57] Ok, Only topic about ubuntu [13:57] ~/Downloads/Star Wars Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast/Star wars jedi knight II jedi outcast$ [13:58] 'lo [13:58] I close the service of gdm.

[14:00] great [14:00] My sound output is really distorted, scratchy. I get a headache when I hear it for too long and I guess that my HDMI, i.e. gfx card, interferes with my soundcard. Is there any way I can deinstall this HDMI device without deinstalling my gfx card? [14:00] ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:01] EgyParadox: the problem with doing a cron job is if Empathy is running and expects a log file to exists.. blammo it crashes [14:01] how does ubuntu make sure a new usbstick is automatically mounted? I guess it happens through some udev magic? [14:01] LjL: I don't see it. [14:02] sudo apt-get install kismet gives me an old version, is there anywhere to get a .deb of the 2010 version of kismet?

[14:02] rdg: then just make the cronjob empty the files :) [14:02] SmokeyD, i think it's GNOME that does it [14:03] LjL, ho, any clue how gnome does it? [14:03] how do you just empty a file [14:03] Might there be a package or App that mounts iso files? Something like Alcohol 120%? [14:03] it is also mounted in the filesystem, so it is not only gvfs [14:03] http://xorg.pastebin.com/nBAxnMG9 this is what I get from Xorg. Does someone know what else do I have to add to my config in order to get DFP-1 to work? [14:04] mmfb: Rightclick and open with gnome mount [14:04] Ubuntu Server no GUI screen? [14:04] SmokeyD: no i don't really know, just https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB seems to confirm it's GNOME doing [14:04] I want to simulate it in the commandline after I unmounted the drive, and changed the filesystem label [14:04] rdg: delete it, then touch the original filename? [14:04] earthman: Server edition is commandline only, by default [14:04] Hello? No answer? [14:04] rdg: then empathy will just find empty logs [14:04] tgywa: man netstat [14:04] hateball: I'm not sure if this matters any, but I'm using Xubuntu [14:05] hateball: I don't see GNOME mount anywhere. [14:05] mmfb: Yes, that would matter since you're using XFCE and not GNOME. I'm not aware of tools for xfce, but perhaps in #xubuntu they are [14:06] hello, I have 6 Ubuntu Lucid boxes all af which freeze during user switching procedure. Is it because of xorg or user switcher or some program that I might have on all systems? Recently, I did not see this happening though (but I am trying to avoid user switching). Does anybody know about this bug? [14:06] mmfb: no luck with apt-get (concerning Kismet). [14:07] by freeze I mean a black screen, not a perfect freeze [14:07] rather an X freeze [14:07] Mahjongg: I've had that issue with ATI drivers [14:08] hateball, I have nvidia, intel [14:08] Mahjongg: so if you have it and use something else... I guess xorg :) [14:08] hateball, do you know if it has been fixed? [14:09] hateball, do you know the link to this bug on ubuntu bugs? [14:09] Mahjongg: I cant say I do, and I dont have anything other than an ATI machine handy right now :/ [14:09] LjL do you know of any command I could issue that would make the system think the usbstick was taken out an put back in again?

[14:40] anirvana, of course yes, the live distro is just to get booted, then you can mount existing partition and correct the mistake in grub configuration and all will be ok [14:40] <_Y00_H00_> sorry [14:40] Docteh , OK [14:41] piko , Do I need to reinstall ubuntu all over again?

[15:00] Tarkers: You can change the wallpaper gdm uses easially. or a few other little tweaks. Theres some themes in the repos also for it. but i never bother doing more then changing the wallpaper [15:01] Tarkers: for thems other than login screen, you can visit: gnome-look.org [15:01] Ok, thanks everyone.

Maybe it attempts to read the blank DVD. [15:07] <{g}> Interesting: Everybody says one should use aptitude instead of apt-get. But when trying to start a not installed app, Ubuntu suggests to apt-get install it. Is there a reason for this?

[15:08] sapersi: no problem [15:09] Hans_Henrik: Have you tried it with a blank CD as well as a DVD? [15:09] nope [15:09] rhl6856: but I think it won't redownload (just continue from what you've already have) [15:09] {g}: I think ubuntu suggests apt-get because synpatics uses apt-get and mixing apt-get and aptitude is not a good idea [15:09] maeon3: dont got a blank cd available atm [15:09] {g}: aptitude is gettign removed from the default install in the next release last i heard. [15:09] {g}: telling people to use it instead of apt-get kind of works as a reminder, they both work the same way but I guess you can query more information about dependancies when you do something like apt-get yakuake and you're wondering why theres a million deps [15:09] furuno: you ever want free drinks or tickets, I have music on 31 radio stations, XM, EA Games, and I perform with Bone Thugs N Harmony. [15:10] furuno: your help much appreciated usually i ask a question and receive insults [15:10] <{g}> shoopdawoop: interestinig [15:10] sapersi: well, this is not /g/ :) [15:10] furuno: but then again thats on #hackthissite [15:10] <{g}> Docteh: i dont understand what you mean. i did not get told to use aptitude. [15:10] Ive had aptitude do some odd things ages ago.. it wasnted to remove, then reinstalled 300 packages.. Still not sure why it did that. :) May of been some oddity in the packages i had. [15:11] Hans_Henrik: that's a bizarre bug, maybe its a corrupt cd rom drive? [15:11] {g}: then i totally misread what you first said [15:11] <{g}> Dr_Willis: why dont they replace apt-get with aptitude? [15:11] Anyone know where I can get nouveau support? Their IRC channel is "read only" [15:11] furuno: 4chan? [15:11] <{g}> Docteh: yes [15:12] {g}: why bother. personally ive never really seen much benifit in using aptitude. One of the reasions they are removeing it (i hear) is to trim down yet more space for other stuff on the cd. [15:12] well apt-get runs faster if you're just installing something [15:12] aptitude really isn't "better" than apt-get, it's more a matter of taste [15:12] Gibby: You'll need to be registered and identified to talk there. [15:12] !register > Gibby [15:12] Gibby, please see my private message [15:12] shoopdawoop: well, it undeniably has more features than apt-get === root_ is now known as keyboard [15:12] maeon3: maybe. but doubt it, used it to write some movies (supernatural season 1) yesterday, and it worked fine when i putted it in the dvd-player ^^ [15:12] too bad they cant get packages to cut down on fat [15:12] sapersi: what else :) anyway let's try to stay on topic shall we [15:13] hi all [15:13] anyone can help [15:13] !ask | keyboard [15:13] keyboard: 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. :-) [15:13] furuno: i thought i saw billy goats, i had to man the bridge [15:13] <{g}> Dr_Willis: i heard that aptitude removes dependencies that are no longer needed. i never quite understood that because everything seems to be a dependency so that would mean apt-get is not removing anything when uninstalling. [15:13] could somebody tell me how I can find out where the mysql server files are being installed on ubuntu 10 [15:13] {g}: isn't that same as apt-get autoremove ? [15:13] i can't install nvidia === Sup|Lobby is now known as MePHiSto1 [15:13] 8400gs [15:13] ubottu, thanks [15:13] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [15:14] m4rtijn: the data files or the application excutable? === MePHiSto1 is now known as SuP|Lobby [15:14] {g}: i think it only removes them in that case IF you used aptitude to install the packages also.. but ive never really had much of a need to uninstall stuff :) [15:14] does anyone know what dmask/fmask i have to specify in fstab to turn off that annoying executable bit on ntfs partitions? [15:14] furuno: actualy im looking for the config files.. [15:14] <{g}> Hans_Henrik: i dont know. googling for "aptitude vs apt-get" brings up a ton of pages that say aptitude removes better :) [15:14] it's NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run [15:14] {g}: err, dependencies are packages that a package depends on. so when you remove package "foo", package "foo" itself definitely does get removed - if you use aptitude (or specify 'autoremove' on apt-get), then also its dependencies get removed. [15:14] Pici, thanks [15:14] Gibby: You're welcome :) [15:14] furuno: but I installed it with aptitude isnt there a way to display what has been installed and where to? [15:14] Hans_Henrik: it's the same concept, although it's not the same implementation [15:14] m4rtijn: try /etc/ [15:15] <{g}> LjL: so no benefit of aptitude over apt-get? its all fud? [15:15] I have been trying to get this working for 3 days, have reloaded 10.04 about 15 times now [15:15] Hello, I am running into what I think might be a kernel bug in the latest ubuntu release. Simply put, when writing a very large file (a disk image) to the drive the entire system crashes. It doesn't matter if I am using Samba (over cifs) or tunneling the file over ssh. The system crashes around 60GB of data every time. [15:15] {g}: aptitude has much better search features. [15:15] {g}: it also is supposed to handle conflict situations better, or at least differently. [15:15] ubuntu should be able to tell me which files have been installed and where.. for any package.. or not? [15:15] {g}: isn't aptitude just a frontend to apt-get anyways? [15:15] Rigorm0rtis: no [15:15] <{g}> LjL: search features? i dont search much. conflicts? i dont know about them. [15:16] the "ubuntu software center" is shit [15:16] {g}: you're comparing two slightly different can openers, but one of them you already have and cant get rid of ;) [15:16] :p [15:16] <{g}> Rigorm0rtis: google "aptitude vs apt-get" there is a ton of stuff.

[15:29] furuno: as long as the site is accessing flash [15:29] bintut: i think there was a update to flash in the last few days.. but im not sure what repos they were in. [15:29] anyone know if its possible to connect to an active X session using somethign like X -query [host] :0 [15:29] bintut: it just crashed on any flash site? can you view video in youtube? [15:29] that may of been 32bit only however. [15:30] hearthrob, burn gparted to a live cd and use it to format the hdd to ext3 or ext4 [15:30] Dr_Willis: hhmmm.. [15:30] papertigers: clarify what you mean by 'connect' You dont just take over a whole X session without using somting like vnc. [15:30] anirvana: well make a copy of that other initrd, the -14 one, name it like swish.img or something just in case you screw it up, then fiddle with the tool that makes initramfs and see if theres an error [15:30] papertigers: you can force an app to run on a session by setting the proper DISPLAY variable, and using xhost to allow the connection i recall [15:30] furuno: yes. the side effect is on the user's perspective, it is very slow then it will eat a lot of cpu load [15:31] whoa whoa with the using Swish(tm) as your image name! [15:31] * Swish wants royalties! ;) [15:31] anirvana: update-initramfs [15:31] bintut: which method you're using to install flash? [15:31] Dr_Willis: afaik you need both. defualt is umask=007, which is -rwxrwx---.. directories need x though, so i guess fmask should be 117, which would be -rw-rw---- [15:31] furuno: everything package installed on my system were installed using apt-get [15:31] Doctech : My wifi isn't working on it either, how would I update?

[15:59] I just set up my openvpn server so I can tunnel my internet connection away from the prying eyes of my IT guy with a god complex [15:59] Tao: cloning one hd to the other isent that hard if you wanted to.. but you could just move /home to the 40gb. [15:59] ikonia: there is a repository for that ppa:artoolkit/ppa the package is artoolkit-dev [15:59] holmser_: ok ? and [16:00] the client is connected now [16:00] VilasBoas: contact that PPA's owner for support on that [16:00] Tao can you hook both drives up in the same computer? if so dd will copy the drive to the other and you'll just have to resize the new drive's partition [16:00] does it automatically tunnel my web traffic through? [16:00] ikonia and Dr_Willis: I'll probably just do a clean install and move /home [16:00] because my IP is still showing up as the work IP [16:00] holmser_: depends how you set it up , only you can answer that [16:00] Tao: that's a good approach [16:00] how do i see the ports used by apache [16:00] how would I check/ set it up to tunnel all web traffic? [16:01] I can't seem to find a good tut [16:01] Bisu[Shield]: usually it should be 80 [16:01] Bisu[Shield]: netstat -a | grep LIST, or look in the config file, it's normally 80 and 443 [16:01] holmser_: there are plenty of tunneling turorials on the web [16:02] i have 2 lans 10.29.x.x and 172.16.x.x i want to be able to join them when the 2 vehicles are together they both run dhcp servers and have their own wan i want to join them with a single cat5 cable i put a router inbetween and they talk fine as long as laptop 1 pulls its address from the dd-wrt dhcp server...other computers on truck1lan cannon access truck 2 computers [16:02] Alright.

However, I would also like to try out some music editing apps etc that require jack, and it hasn't really been working (jack crashes before I do anything)...

[16:58] nibbler: cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness == 0 [16:58] what if you try to connect to tftp port through nc D347H-C0D3? [16:58] nibbler: hmm, so i guess the freeziness is caused by something else [16:59] mhm [16:59] [anyway, tftp should be "denied" :P ] [16:59] e-DIO-t: i havent tried it [16:59] btw [16:59] swappiness of 0 is kinda low :P [16:59] e-DIO-t: and i dont knw how to [16:59] D347H-C0D3: you need tftp, or you need to transfer files?! [17:00] shoopdawoop: low means...lots of swap or little swap [17:00] 'cause if your need is file transfer: scp is the one for you, secure, speedy...and you can event configure rsa autologin through AllowedKeys, guess. [17:01] how can I force a time update with ubuntu server 8.04 via command line??? [17:01] I set my swappines to 10. default is 60 and after 2gig used I get around 50mb swap used.. so i set it to 0 and it uses nearly all 4gig ram before swap used [17:01] D347H-C0D3: well, i don't remember which is the UDP port of tftp [17:01] by the way you can take a look to "netstat -l" to see which local ports are in listen mode [17:01] Is it possible to run pulseaudio and jack simultaneously? (and how) [17:01] with plymouth and such making boot faster, is there any point in using 'profile' on boot [17:02] and...whatever, i'm leaving office so ...eventually i'll give you a bit support in an hour and "some more".

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [17:02] Zai Jian [17:03] duffydack: i see, so that would explain zero swap being used. i guess the only thing to do is try to max out RAM and see if that changes it [17:03] ninjai: You want to sync time with an NTP server?

Did a floodbot just call... a factoid? o_O [17:05] theadmin: quite so. === neutrino is now known as tar- [17:06] cdcdcdc: sorry got disconnected. in case you missed my answer check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [17:06] cdcdcdc, ubuntu recommend swappiness 10 (even tho its 60 by default) [17:06] shoopdawoop: thanks. just got there and was reading it. thnx [17:07] Bonsoir [17:07] duffydack: i did do that, still opening apps trying to max out ram [17:07] when I said I set to 0 earlier, it was a typo, I set to 10 :) [17:08] theadmin, the bots are taking over, harr [17:08] Xylios: yes. [17:08] cdcdcdc, I have a few vm`s for that task :) [17:08] why can't apt-get and aptitude be more compatible? [17:09] how can i stream audio through mplayer filter (-af)?? [17:09] i have the filter, just don't know how to run mplayer to get audio from audio in jack, and pass it through filter, to speakers [17:09] Hi everyone. Trying ubuntu 10.4 on an older machine (AMD K6-3) and neither my serial mouse nor old DIN keyboard work. Is it even possible to get this to work? [17:10] Xylios: nvm, i fixed it. Ubuntu server didn't have ntp on it so I installed it and updated and it worked :D [17:10] (I just booted the live CD) [17:10] hey guys… the tutorial i am using says run "logfile /var/log/ha-log" [17:10] what's "logfile" [17:10] cdcdcdc: you could use a tmpfs (which is a ramdisk) for your /tmp/ folder. it will increase your system perfomance and you can very easily fill up your ram by copying files into /tmp/ :) [17:10] hagabaka, what do you mean? [17:10] it says alternatively run sed -e 's/#logfile*/logfile/' /usr/share/doc/heartbeat/logd.cf > /etc/logd.cf [17:11] do i have to install logd? [17:11] or something [17:12] unop: they don't share the manuall installed marks, and don't resolve conflicts the same way [17:12] shoopdawoop: ooh, that sounds like more fun than opening every program in my applications menu, but i'm not sure if i know how [17:12] duffydack: is that the trick? i don't have any [17:12] any one who can advice me on dual boot with xp [17:12] how can i install httpd ? [17:13] hagabaka, yes, a bit like wanting a tractor and a truck to do the same thing. Debian recommends using aptitude while ubuntu seemed to recommend apt-get. Pick one and use it is what I'd say. [17:13] cdcdcdc: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/1624 - solution #2 [17:13] ABchanda: Sometimes it works. [17:13] ABchanda: Probably...? what's your problem? [17:13] well i'm downloading ubuntu [17:13] cdcdcdc: also you need to log out of your desktop and rm -rf /tmp/ then reboot [17:14] hello [17:14] how can i install httpd ? [17:14] so next step would be to install but in dual boot mode [17:14] Somehow jack does not give me any output sound, and I cannot kill pulseaudio...any suggestions as to how to fix these two problems? [17:14] ok, i've opened everything and still a gig down. must say i'm impressed [17:14] blockcold: Apache serves http. [17:15] * JPP is away: Work [17:15] WJW: [17:15] unop: It's OK for them to have differences, but when dealing with the same tasks and settings, it would be better to be consistent. Imagine if they each used different dependencies or even package installed/uninstalled status [17:15] ABchanda: Ubuntu setup gives you the opportunity to install in a way that leaves your xp installation intact and adds an entry to the GRUB boot menu. [17:15] but itcan't open vim/etc/apache2/httpd.conf [17:16] I think that's less of a slippery slow than "asking trucks and tractors to do the same thing" [17:16] blockcold, what error does it give? [17:16] blockcold: Sounds like a configuration file. Maybe you have to set it up. [17:16] hi [17:17] blockcold, there should be a space between vim and the file path [17:17] or else he typoed the line he pasted. :) [17:17] maybe [17:17] thus why I asked what the error was [17:17] hello, could someone help me install Java so I can use Java applets in Firefox? [17:17] thanks trilobit [17:18] ABchanda: no prob. === Luuk|headache is now known as Luukje|WkPoule [17:18] hagabaka, well, that's exactly what they do differently -- but it's very rare to see aptitude bring in a different set of dependencies. Usually, it's just a case of aptitude succeeding where apt-get fails to resolve some difficult dependency problem. [17:18] Waldsen: i think i just installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and i saw it install java a few min ago. [17:19] Waldsen: or install it manually,. [17:19] Waldsen: Suggest u see which Java Virtual Machine (JVM) the package recommendations for openoffice.org suggest. [17:19] !java [17:19] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [17:19] hi guys.. i am back .. will i get to send messages now ? [17:19] /me waves [17:19] shoopdawoop: i'll try that next. for now i'm editing in pititvi with every app i have open. i think i can see what is happening as pititiv adds a couple mb to ram (free -m) every time i do something [17:19] Hi all: I just bootet the Ubuntu 10.4 live CD on my old AMD K6-3 machine and neither my serial logitech mouse nor old keyboard with DIN connector work. Is there a way to change this? [17:19] looks like ... we run a training institute and need a nfs + ldap authentication setup for ubuntu .. we have around 200 users .. [17:19] . please point me to a documentation i can follow as a newbie ... and what kind of hardware server will be needed .. Thanks!! [17:20] !nfs [17:20] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [17:20] cdcdcdc: good luck :) but even if you figure out the problem, I would still create the tmpfs for /tmp/, it just makes so much sense if you got the ram and it's a pitty ubuntu doesn't do it by default [17:20] unop: For marking manually installed packages, I see no reason why they shouldn't just share the same marks. For dependency resolution, it would also be better if they could merge the benefits of each algorithm [17:20] a newbie setting up a system for 200+ users? thats scary [17:21] how do you add the current directory to your path in .bashrc ? [17:21] shoopdawoop: thanks! i have bookmarked and will definitely give that a try although i don't understand it at the moment [17:21] tucemiux: thats not a good habbit to do.. but you can 'export PATH=$PATH:.' [17:21] * [gnubie] waves [17:21] thanks! [17:22] hey all - My MySQL-Server-5.1 installation is corrupted and I need to fully remove it and reinstall - Every time I try to remove it and install Synaptic hangs and the package installation becomes corrupted so I have to purge/manually remove everything and play around until it lets me install again - The installer hangs every time after failing to set the MySQL root password - any suggestions? thanks [17:22] <[gnubie]> anyone cares to help me with my problem regarding the crashing adobe flashplugin? kindly check http://is.gd/cQmoF [17:22] Dr_Willis, why is it not a good habit? what if you write scripts and dont want to want to have to type "./" all the time? Also, I want to add /home/tucemiux/bin to the path [17:22] Dr_Willis: is the link for me ? [17:23] Waldsen: Hmm. I have icedtea-6-jre-cacao . Not sure whether that's the right choice for you or not. [17:23] tucemiux: if you have a lot of scripts put them in your /home/username/bin dir.. and they will be in the default path [17:23] dotnetted: try from the command line, it might give more information as to what is going wrong. pastebin would be useful to see [17:23] hagabaka, well, that's always going to be unix for you. different tools doing similar jobs differently - but each with its pros and cons. personally i use aptitude for the usual things and apt-get for what aptitude doesn't provide. [17:23] tucemiux: ages ago i managed to make a script called 'ls' in my own dir. a friend was checking out my files.. and managed to run my script.. that promptly reset his password.. :) [17:23] Having some apt- trouble. I have an old package A installed. I tried to install package B, but one of the files it contains is supposed to have the same path as a file from package A. I want to remove A and then install B, how do I do this? [17:24] on a phisical machine Ubuntu 10.04 lst is unable to detect a crt display model (Samsung SyncMaster 753 DFX) the strange is that monitor is not very new. Any idea? At the moment Ubuntu says: Unkonow monitor [17:24] tucemiux: security is very much 'practice and habbits' as it is anything else. [17:24] Dr_Willis, I have to add /home/tucemiux/bin to the path though, it doesnt get added automatically [17:24] hagabaka, i believe it was also ubuntu policy sometime ago to not mix using apt-get and aptitude. [17:24] WJW: I heard that the default Java for Ubuntu was something called cacao, but I already installed Sun Java so thanks anyway [17:24] <[gnubie]> the last part of http://is.gd/cQmoF is my actual problem [17:24] Right now, apt won't let me remove A until I resolve the situation with B (which is a dependence from another package). === ericm|ubuntu is now known as ericm-Zzz [17:24] sno: right now MySQL seems to be installed properly and can be run with "mysqld_safe --user=mysql &" from the command line - is there a way to get apt-get to understand it's installed properly and stop trying to finish the installation every time I do anything w/ synaptic? [17:24] tucemiux: err. It definatly DOES get added automatically here.. its in the default bash configs to do so. [17:25] tucemiux: you DO need to logout/backin or start a new terminal to get the script to see/do the adding of the bin to the path however [17:25] hey, so i have an installation issue [17:25] dotnetted: apt knows what its doing very well, i would suggest working out why its trying to do things first [17:25] what tool to detect and configure the *right monitor*? [17:26] (i am super new to ubuntu - i was raised on microsoft and .NET, trying to branch out) [17:26] Dr_Willis, I guess it does get added automatically, I didnt realize that, thanks for the tip, so I should add "." to the path then ? [17:26] tucemiux: last 3 lines of ~/.profile do it [17:26] Alright. I attempted to do a clean install on my other hard drive with the intentions of moving /home from my current hard drive over to it once I was done. Unfortunately, when I switched the hard drives and booted it up, it gave me an error message, something about "No file found" and then it had "grub rescue>" below it. Thats all that happened and I'm a bit confused. Any help? [17:26] tucemiux: if its in bin. its in the default path [17:26] sno: thanks for the help - I'm going to remove mysql-server-5.1 and all log/conf dirs and start from scratch in the command line to catch the errors [17:26] tucemiux: same as any opther commands.. I must have 300+ commands/scripts/things in my bin [17:26] salve [17:26] dae1, whatever issue you have feel free to ask -- all on ***one*** line --- otherwise you will lose a lot of people [17:27] hey all, I've removed some software using System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager - its still leaving the menu entries around though - how do I punt those so my menu doesn't list the entries anymore [17:27] dotnetted: tell us what commands you are typing, maybe you are missing a mysql-common package (that holds the configs) === emc_ is now known as emc [17:27] just use main menu from system-preferences and remove the entries that way [17:27] steev: I think there's an explicit remove right on the menu. Try right-clicking. [17:27] steev, That's weird that it left them. You can edit the menu by right clicking on it and selecting "edit menu" [17:27] sno: what's the best way to fully remove the mysql-server-5.1 package after dpkg failed the last install? [17:27] how make recognize a monitor to Ubuntu 10.04 LST? [17:28] steev: its possible you just need to log out/back in also [17:28] on a phisical machine Ubuntu 10.04 lst is unable to detect a crt display model (Samsung SyncMaster 753 DFX) the strange is that monitor is not very new. Any idea? At the moment Ubuntu says: Unkonow monitor [17:28] dotnetted: show us the pastebin/output of this command to see what is wrong exactly, sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude reinstall mysql-server-5.1 [17:28] what tool to detect and configure the *right monitor*? [17:28] Dr_Willis, youre right, it's declared in .profile, Ive been using ubuntu all this time but never bother looking at .profile, Ive typically only touched .bashrc but I guess Im going to be looking at .profile more nowadays, thanks for the tip ! [17:28] FabParma: ubuntu says unknown monitor where exactly? [17:29] Alright. I attempted to do a clean install on my other hard drive with the intentions of moving /home from my current hard drive over to it once I was done. Unfortunately, when I switched the hard drives and booted it up, it gave me an error message, something about "No file found" and then it had "grub rescue>" below it. Thats all that happened and I'm a bit confused. Any help? [17:29] Dr_Willis: exacty [17:29] tucemiux: they have recently moved from using .bash_profile to .profile I think also. :) [17:29] exactly [17:29] FabParma: ubuntu says unknown monitor where exactly? <--------- WHERE AT does it say this 'unknown monitor' ? terminal window? some config? some log? [17:29] sno: http://pastebin.com/sdVyvBGR (after the update) -- it hangs on the last line [17:29] Does it beep it out in morse code? :) [17:29] Ok, pulling the keyboard out and plugging it back in did the trick for the keyboard (driver buggy?) But my serial mouse still doesn't work. Wasn't 10.4 supposed to have support for serial port? [17:30] dotnetted: FabParma guess it is System>Prefes...>display [17:30] Serial Port = old skool :) [17:30] dotnetted: is this a fresh mysql install, or do you have existing databases? you can check process usage with "top" or "atop" which won't be installed but may give more i/o info. Is the CPU at 100% while its trying to "set up mysql-server" ? [17:30] My 10.4 laptop supports serial. [17:30] Dr_Willis: Yea, but I just have one USB on this old thing... [17:31] Dr_Willis: it say only 'unknown monitor' in the monitor configuration gui [17:31] Trilobit: its possible you might need to load a proper module. My PS2 mice have worked.. but ive not even touched an actual serial port mouse in years [17:31] Alright. I attempted to do a clean install on my other hard drive with the intentions of moving /home from my current hard drive over to it once I was done. Unfortunately, when I switched the hard drives and booted it up, it gave me an error message, something about "No file found" and then it had "grub rescue>" below it. Thats all that happened and I'm a bit confused. Any help? [17:31] FabParma: thats just the 'name/brand' its trying to determina. that dosent really mean much of anything. [17:31] less: Also mice? [17:31] erUSUL: yes, exactly [17:31] /12 [17:31] <[gnubie]> anyone on this? => http://is.gd/cQmoF [17:31] sno: CPU is at 15% - checking for existing databases now [17:31] Trildbit: sorry, no idea (but it's RS232 alright). [17:32] tucemiux, Dr_Willis, .bash_profile and .profile do different things tho - with regards to bash login shells, it prefers the former and sources it if it exists and only sources the latter if the former is unavailable. [17:32] Dr_Willis: Hrm. How would I do this with the live CD? [17:32] Dr_Willis: w/o that setting Ubuntu wont chanhe to the right resolution. [17:32] sno: /var/lib/mysql is populated with the mysql database only - no previous databases [17:32] duffydack: still around? what do you make of this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/450160/ with swappiness at 10 [17:32] Trilobit: sudo modprobe SOMEMODULE (no i dont know the name) [17:32] dotnetted: strange, maybe try a aptitude purge mysql-server-5.1 mysql-common but MAKE SURE you have your databases/mysql config is backed up as this will delete configurations === Luukje|WkPoule is now known as Luukje|F0oD [17:33] FabParma: its possible for you to have a 'unknown monitor' and still have proper screen display. the name dosent mean much. its the actual settings that matter. What is your video card? [17:33] Dr_Willis: K, thanks. Will try to figure this out. [17:33] shoopdawoop: swappiness at 10, maxed out ram minus 30 mb, still swap used at zero - something's wrong eh? [17:33] Dr_Willis: nvidia installed with 3d part drivers [17:34] Alright. I attempted to do a clean install on my other hard drive with the intentions of moving /home from my current hard drive over to it once I was done. Unfortunately, when I switched the hard drives and booted it up, it gave me an error message, something about "No file found" and then it had "grub rescue>" below it. Thats all that happened and I'm a bit confused. Any help? [17:34] Trilobit: its possible the serial port moduiles are built in also.. and i may be totally wrong. :) [17:34] Alright, bear with me because I'm super new... so first I tried installing Ubuntu from a burned .iso. Each time I tried, I got a black screen filled with white text lines saying things like "[ 0.689281] [ FabParma: if you use nvidia propietar dricvers you have to use « nvidia-settings » [17:34] cdcdcdc, i think (i dont know much about the inner workings of memory/swap) but looks like most of the usage is buffers [17:34] Trilobit: perhaps --> sudo modprobe sermouse [17:35] hi. I'm using 10.04, and I'm trying to connect a S-Video cable to see my desktop on an old CRT TV. I have GeForce 6150, and it seems as if the S-Video isn't recognized or something like that. That's what I'm seeing in System -> Administrator -> NVIDIA X Server Settings http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/4561/screenshotnvidiaxserver.png [17:35] cdcdcdc, if your question is why is there no swap used.. I have got mine to 3.7gig used (actually used in vm`s) and swap kicked in for a massive 6mb :) [17:35] dae1: you will need to update the bootloader config to use the same option you used to successfully boot ubuntu from livecd. Are you using 10.04 ? [17:35] cdcdcdc: what happens if you do #sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=100 [17:35] Yes I am using 10.04. How do I update the bootloader config? [17:35] Tao: you installed THEN moved the hd's ? [17:36] dae1, what machine are you using? Sounds like a known bug, if you havent been to the forums I suggest you familiarize yourself with it, it looks like there is a bug specific only to your machine, most likely youll a lot of information there, like me for example, im one unlucky one and my sound card works flaky with ubuntu on my laptop [17:36] shoopdawoop: still zero - how long should i have to wait for that to work? [17:36] Dr_Willis: No, it won't even install. I checked the CD on another computer and it worked. [17:36] is there an easy way to remove all kernel packages except the most recent few? [17:36] dae1: to start with, check the documentation at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [17:36] Tao: clarify the problem a bit.. somtjhing seems odd in your earlier astatement. [17:36] sno: I dont care to preserve the old data/configs -- I just ran "aptitude purge mysql-server-5.1 mysql-common" successfully - should I attempt the reinstall now with "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude reinstall mysql-server-5.1"? [17:37] cdcdcdc: not sure. I would guess the effect should be more or less instantly [17:37] dae1: it requires editing a file and updating grub by a command, then it will be saved for that particular kernel (unless you update them all) [17:37] dotnetted: yep sounds good [17:37] Tao: it almost sounds like the HD is booting not the cd.. and it has some old linux on it. [17:37] Dr_Willis: serial support seems to be compiled into the kernel. Just found this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto Unfortunately it needs some fiddling with xorg.conf -_- [17:37] Ah. I guess I was asking some silly questions lol. Thanks everyone [17:38] Dr_Willis: an example. if i set 800x600 or 1024x768 eveythinh is ok. but when i change to 1152x864 Ubuntu accepts the setting but it cant fit the wole moinitor area, i get a frame black all around [17:38] how can i downgrade firefox? 3.6.3 keeps erasing my form history. [17:38] Dr_Willis: I tried to run DBAN (Boot and Nuke) to completely wipe the hard drive, but it displayed the same message. Its as if no CD is being read. [17:38] Trilobit: may be time to find a cheap usb hub. :) [17:38] dae1: Not silly and I hope you get around it. [17:38] FabParma: that sounds like the monitor cant handle it.. so its doing that.. or the refresh rate is wrong.. or the monitor settings need to be tweaked.. You said it was a CRT monitor? [17:38] Dr_Willis: Maybe... But I think I'll just try Windows XP instead for now. :p *ducks* [17:39] sno: "mysql-server-5.1 is not currently installed, so it will not be reinstalled." - I assume I should just do "aptitude install mysql-server-5.1" right? [17:39] I dont even think i have a serial mouse in my rather Large collection of mice any more. :) [17:39] Dr_Willis: Yes Samsung SyncMaster 753 DFX [17:39] dotnetted: sorry yes, "install" not "reinstall" correct [17:39] Im glad ive finally gotten rid of all my old CRT and other old stuff >:) [17:40] hi all [17:40] I have a questionon ubuntu [17:41] Dr_Willis: so the problem it the CRT? strange because old HW should easier to get "driver" [17:41] biigg: You don't need to ask to ask a question, go ahead. :) [17:41] I still have a rather large collection of old Hardware. Also some nice pieces like a king sized SoundBlaster AWE32. =] ... and also lots of old Keyboards (even DIN ones) and serial mice... [17:41] !ask | biigg [17:41] biigg: 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. :-) [17:41] FabParma: thats not logical. :) windows 7 no longer has the druivers for my 15 yr old printer i noticed.. :) [17:41] sno: it seemed to install properly and when prompted I left the root password blank - "mysql -uroot" is giving me permission denied now [17:41] FabParma: with monitors its often not a matter of 'drivers' sounds like it IS working.. but you may need to twiddle with the knobs at the higher res. [17:42] dotnetted: then it sounds like it worked fine, it reset the password so now you can set one yourself, check the ubuntu documentation on mysql [17:42] is there a way you can get into windows thru ubuntu with out installing it on the hard drive [17:42] Im thinking about installing Ubuntu on my laptop. should i get the desktop version or the netbook version (my laptop is not really a netbook, thats why the question) [17:43] sno: thanks for the help - I don't know how I didn't figure this out earlier ;) [17:43] i guess my question just got neglected from all the messages & traffic going on here... :-/ [17:43] biigg: Running windows without installing it is never possible... :/ You can use WINE or you can install windows thru VirtualBox [17:43] Tao: if you cant get it to boot from cd.. well i cant help ya with that other then to say check the bios === xektrum is now known as Guest22381 [17:43] dotnetted: your welcome, synaptic is nice but being able to get information from the command line is a life saver ;) [17:43] Dr_Willis: does exist an utility to interrogate the monitor peripheral? [17:44] ok, thanks and bye. [17:44] dt84: have you done a "detect displays"? [17:44] Lunar_Lamp: yes, but nothing seem to change [17:45] home time, laters all [17:45] Dr_Willis: I tried making changes to the BIOS, but it wouldn't let me save. All the options, except for "Exit Without Saving", are greyed out and listed as "Disabled" [17:45] FabParma, according to Amazon.co.uk that monitor can display 1280x1024 max with 65Hertz [17:45] Lunar_Lamp: should I restart the computer first? [17:45] o/ [17:45] I have windows XP home insalled on laptop, [17:45] Tao: no idea then. sounds liek it may be password protected.. [17:45] Tao: or some other security settings [17:46] have no user names or passwords [17:46] shoopdawoop: yeah, it's working now - up to 7. still i wonder if this wasn't the problem. pitivi is behaving OK now, and with 50 other programs open. could changing swappiness from 0 to 10 have done it? [17:46] Dr_Willis: I tried removing the little BIOS battery thing to reset it, but nothing happened [17:46] biigg: try running linux in virtualbox if you want to try out linux. or use the WUBI installer on the cd. (but i hate wubi) [17:46] how to password protect a linux directory(not server installed)? [17:46] Is there a nice package to install on ubuntu where I can serve bittorrent files? I have a colleague that works with me in a distributed capacity, and we need to push huge files (13GB+) between each other. Being able to push through bittorrent privately would be probably the most efficient usage of bandwidth between us. [17:46] and I read somewhere that you could use ubuntu to get into windows [17:46] shoopdawoop: (that is swap usage is at 7 mb now) [17:46] Does anyone know how I can get jackd to work on "normal" ubuntu lucid? [17:48] natschil: jackd is for professional audio, it makes no sense to use it ina normal desktop system ... [17:48] biigg: from a livecd is easy to access and modify all data of a hard disk [17:49] Isent there a jackd wiki page? [17:49] biigg: Hmm? [17:50] biigg, i hope its yours [17:51] cdcdcdc: I dunno. maybe the real problem is actually faulty ram like I suggested. then problems will only occur sporadically when an application uses the faulty ram segment [17:51] biigg: i dont think anyone understood what you said.. [17:52] shoopdawoop: are you saying i should have taken your first tip? i'll do it now :) [17:53] cdcdcdc: haha no. just saying that changing swappiness probably didn't fix it (as even with a value of 0 it should still use swap when necessary) [17:53] I have a live cd of pupy linix will that get me in [17:54] biigg: you can boot a linux cd and mount the hd and do whatever you want to it... [17:54] whats the difference between the desktop and the netbook versions? [17:54] Goldfisch, any bittorrent client will do -- only thing is you will have to create your .torrent files yourself and save them somewhere where you can serve them to people. [17:55] I am having some trouble understanding how to register my machines on a network properly so that I can ssh into my hostname, and not just my ip, can someone explain that to me? [17:55] (or point me at documentation) [17:56] rhl6856: quick and dirty and not very good way.. edit the /etc/hosts on every machine. :) [17:56] so with the live cd I can add or remove users on windows is that what you are saying [17:56] rhl6856: you need a nameserver for your network or mantain /etc/hosts on all the machines [17:56] ubutom_: so I can use 1280x1024 and not 1152x864? This is very uncommon [17:56] biigg: no that is not what we are saying. You can access the files on the windows hard drive.. thats it.. You MIGHT beable to do more if you find some tools to manipulate the windows special files. there are special recovery cd's that have such tools [17:56] so my sys admin should have a nameserver? do I need to have access to it? [17:57] FabParma, no, you can use up to 1280x1024, for the black parts of the screen you can try to adjust it in the monitor menu [17:57] ok [17:57] I know it's been done but just curious, anyone here using the dell mini 10 with ubuntu? [17:57] I seee [17:57] biigg: no you can read and writte whatever you want. i dunno if there is a method of adding a user in windows or removing them only editting a file or two :). [17:57] hi guys... we run a training institute and need a nfs + ldap authentication setup for ubuntu .. we have around 200 users .. please point me to a documentation i can follow as a newbie ... and what kind of hardware server will be needed .. Thanks!! [17:57] FabParma, used 1152x768 a long time myself :) [17:58] hi guys. do you know how hostname -I gets the ip addresses for the host? I need to change that list [17:58] thanks [17:58] rhl6856: ask your network/sys admin i'd say [17:58] Ich habe grub1 gekillt. Leider habe ich nur die Ubuntu 9.10 DVD gebrannt.

[18:56] can someone help me? http://pastebin.com/LTaASne4 [18:56] guess: if packages are unsigned -> then you got no repos for them, or you got a repos with no key, or what?! [18:56] ..we shoulda move this discussion in #linux ...perhaps?! [18:56] Andrew9: I'm pretty sure that is mistaken. Clamav and several others check for linux (and windoze) viruses [18:56] Andrew9: Once you install them, I don't think it keeps that info (unless the .deb files are still on the system (apt-cache)) [18:57] arand: what info? [18:57] Andrew9: Is this still about update manager not being able to verify signature? [18:57] arand: yes [18:58] Andrew9: I did telly you how to solve it.

[19:00] red2kic, because the 10.04 installer seems to hate my dell [19:00] piyushmishra: You'll have to fill them in manually. There are no apps that'll automatically tracks your processes, I think.

[19:02] piyushmishra: Did you check out hamster-applet already? It's what you're looking for (but it does not track things automatically, you'll have to declare that you're going to work on "something" -- then "movie time" and etc. [19:03] k complains about all kinds of stuff [19:03] red2kic: I installed it [19:03] but --force works :D [19:03] i like that [19:03] red2kic lemme try [19:03] hi! any python or pitivi experts around? i'm getting massive errors when i run from cli - and generally extreme lag if i do any action on the timeline [19:03] "--force" is my favourite commandline option XD [19:03] just tell the damn calculating machine to do WTF i tell em ^^ [19:04] whats with all the channel joins?

[19:05] Guest18386, I like Lucid. It works well. [19:05] Hey I'm having an odd problem. Since upgrading to 10.04 from intrepid I have no volume widget on my panel and there doesn't seem to be one to add in the "add to panel" dialogue. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer. [19:06] er, jaunty [19:06] piyushmishra: I'm not sure. I don't actively use it. I just knew the applet exist. [19:06] lwizardl: Sounds like you? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes [19:06] ok well this is what 10.04 is doing on my laptop. when i boot the livecd i get like 10 error pop ups, and it hangs during the install (using livecd) at like 48%, and if i use the alternate text installer it will install completely but when rebooted the gui crashes and only stays at bash login [19:06] hi, how may I turn the borders of me-tv off to watch borderless tv? [19:06] red2kic ok ty :) seemsit will solve one of my issues for now [19:06] j0npau1: install indicator-sound package [19:06] Lucid is nice, besides an often crashing Evolution mail client.

[19:07] lwizardl: try dpkg --reconfigure xorg-server and use vesa driver to get something up and running. [19:07] k [19:08] then you should be able to use the driver install tool to install the nvidia/ati whatever drivers [19:08] inspiron 2500 could have multiple graphics cards. if you can boot the livecd with a safe graphics option, try an lspci and get it that way [19:09] i have wine 1.2 and could not get itunes to load. it says missing vc80.crt and others [19:09] is there a specific reason for itunes? [19:09] lost: #winehq [19:09] rhythmbox/banshee should do what you need... and more.

[19:11] Don't just post an opinion without some kind of support. [19:11] itunes is horrid [19:11] chalcedony: but audacity records just clicking in the red button ... ( in ptreferences you can configure wich input you want to record ...) [19:11] iTunes is massively bloated, slow, and half the time doesn't even work. [19:11] i like to own my music, not rent it from Apple [19:11] any tips on installing Nvidia sound driver? [19:11] Or corrupts the ipod database and you have to reformat it. === XLV_ is now known as XLV [19:11] jmartin_: amen. [19:12] jmartin_, You can only play iTunes Store purchased music in iTunes? Because, last time I checked, I could play music I owned on CD's and things on it... [19:12] erUSUL, i had it before, i think i have a problem with my soundcard [19:12] hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu server... i'd like to crypt the partition... should i use the automatic tool to use the whole hd with lvm and crypt ? will it ask the passphrase at every boot or will it be automatic the decrypt? [19:12] LJRuff, Itunes is crap. Invasive single minded. Rythmbox lets you control your music your way. [19:12] Sam_Fisher, there's no doubt Rhythmbox is better, I'm just warning about posting up opinions. [19:12] mika_: It'll ask for the passphrase at every boot. Why bother using encryption if you want it to perform automatic decryptions. :( [19:13] Gentlemen, let's keep to topic. [19:13] I use Gpodder and Rythmbox on my Ipod [19:13] I don't have an iPod. I'm no consumer slave - there's no point in feeding the Apple beast. [19:13] sipior: you mean: Ladies and Gentlemen [19:14] red2kic: i actually don't want that other people access the data... but as it's a server i don't want the passphrase because i'd have to write it... and with remote access it's quite hard, and not good (the server will stay down until i enter it) [19:14] sipior, hahaha [19:14] comicinker: to about a 94% confidence level, no, i do not. [19:14] My biggest complaint about itunes is that you can't copy your music back off of your ipod. [19:14] LOL sipior [19:14] mika_: Then why do you want to encrypt the data on disk at all? [19:14] My Nvidia sound is gone after messing with a headset and a blue tooth dongle. HELP [19:14] (you can... just not with itunes - you have to copy the whole database over with it's obscure file names and then let itunes rename everything for you) [19:15] mika_: You can use guided partition options or do it manually -- It's really up to you. With scripts, you can have it decrypted automatically if you have USB with passphrase_key loaded in. You should keep the data exclusively to yourself. [19:15] Jordan_U: to avoid that someone could access them with phisical access... [19:15] lol german satire guy writes: "are you secret fans of nerdkorea too?" .... XD [19:15] mika_: maybe you want a virtual server [19:15] Sam_Fisher: have you rebooted (or killed off pulseaudio)? [19:15] I agree with jmartin_, actually, the most about iTunes and Apple. As one of the biggest advocates behind DRM and stealing consumer rights, I see no point in owning, using, or associating in any way with Apple products or software. [19:15] mika_: If it's automatically decrypted at boot then someone with physical access can still get the data. [19:15] jkamp, if that would be a stupid thing to do i did it! [19:16] it wouldn't be. [19:16] Sam_Fisher: did you change the hardware settings under sound preferences? [19:16] the only apple product I own (an old PB G4) is running linux :P [19:16] i have to play with that stuff any time i hook up to HDMI [19:16] jkamp, I ran some alsxxx command in terminal and it displayed this awesome graphic sound info tool. After that no sound [19:16] Jordan_U: right, but if you access the hd from another pc the data will be encrypted.... having it decrypted at boot you will always put the user password to access the system === sara__ is now known as switchgirl [19:16] jkamp, Nothing listed under hardware [19:17] you can try ps -ef | grep pulse and kill -9 the PID's for pulseaudio (should be 2 of them) [19:17] where can i find the supported resources for pacemaker and their options? [19:17] Jordan_U: without the encrypt you could just remove the hd and access all the data from another pc [19:17] Sam_Fisher: you have no devices listed under the hardware tab in audio preferences?? o_O [19:17] shoopdawoop, convert the world to Linux Puppy [19:17] webPragmatist: clusterlabs.org [19:17] mika_: If it's decrypted at boot then the password has to be stored somewhere. Where would the password be securely stored if not on the hard drive? [19:17] jkamp, correct [19:17] jkamp: trying to find it on there … not having much luck [19:18] webPragmatist: You can compile the customized kernel for your grandma's pacemaker! [19:18] mika_: when using a virtualized server, you can let anybody access the server physically, but you can reboot your virtual server remotely [19:18] webPragmatist: you may want to try #linux-ha [19:18] Jordan_U: i'm using kubuntu on a desktop and it works just like that, i don't have to put the passphrase.. [19:18] jkamp, I followed these instructions that had me checking for a sound card. [19:18] mika_: You could use an encrypted home directory, which would be decrypted automatically when you login (using your login credentials to decrypt so you only have to enter a password once) [19:18] mika_: and your virtual server is fully enrypted... [19:18] anything that can be scripted, can be added as a cluster resource, webPragmatist [19:18] comicinker: it's an old machine, it wouldn't work so good :) [19:18] jkamp: right i'm trying to find the prepackaged scripts [19:19] like apache is one of them [19:19] mysql … ipv2 [19:19] 4* [19:20] is there a setting for automatically unlocking the keyring, even when I use autologin? [19:20] jkamp, typed aplay -l and got aplay: device_list:221: no soundcard found... [19:20] Andrew9, back [19:20] webPragmatist: this doc has a good explanation of the locations of the various scripts for resource management: http://www.clusterlabs.org/doc/Cluster_from_Scratch.pdf [19:20] LOL on german TV they said it too [19:20] Sam_Fisher: lspci | grep -i audi [19:20] Slart: Don't encrypt the keyring. Leave it blank. It'll be done automatically. [19:20] anything? [19:20] mika_: If you don't have to use a password at any point then the data might as well not be encrypted. There is no way to have meaningfull encryption without requiring a password at some point (outside "trusted computing" hardware, and even then I'd argue not). [19:20] hi, what software or tool can I use in order to send mailnews to the ones suscripted? would a mailing list be OK?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [19:21] red2kic: huh? I don't think I have encrypted the keyring.. perhaps it's done automagically? [19:21] oops [19:21] wrong channel again sry [19:21] e-DIO-t: ok i'm reading this for now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Virus [19:21] Jordan_U: mm..so i should just use the whole hd without lvm and crypt... [19:22] How can i use mouse in virtualbox-ose ? [19:22] Slart: It have been a while since I did something like that, but here: http://tinyurl.com/4uzfvz [19:22] Slart: Instead of rm, just mv it to default.keyring-bak -- And when they ask you to create a keyring, leave both blank for password. [19:22] red2kic: ah.. interesting.. I'll play around with it.. thanks [19:23] mika_: Yes, or setup an encrypted home directory (which would require you to login before the data could be used, but could be done remotely via ssh). [19:23] jkamp, Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) [19:23] Slart: I think it's under Accessories -- Seahorse or something (if you're using ubuntu-desktop) [19:23] jkamp: yea i'm looking for bind9 resource in specific [19:24] ntr0py: it should work out of the box [19:24] Jordan_U: the critical data is mysql data, the home dir will probably be empty.. but having a web app accessing the db data, it will require the password to access it... [19:25] Jordan_U: i've just used the automatic partitioning for the whole disk (/ + swap) [19:25] comicinker: i always get capture dialog, but mouse is not moving in guest (no capture) [19:27] red2kic: I can just delete my keyrings from accessories, Passwords and Encryption and then create a new one with blank password.. it warns me that it will be saved unencrypted.. it seems to be working nicely. Thanks again [19:27] i'm haing a problem, my xubuntu desktop is missing it's taskbars. both top and bottom ones. i can access everything through rightclick but the rest is missing [19:27] Slart: That sounds about right.
