[00:00] kevin__, sorry mate had to restart, would you be able to tell me where to go to talk about programming [00:00] shoudl i remove this OpenJDK Runtime Environment [00:00] MetalGeek_N00b: not sure, actually [00:00] MetalGeek_N00b: general coding, or something specific? [00:00] there's always #defocus I suppose [00:00] Kevin`: MetalGeek_N00b #ubuntu-offtopic has been suggested. I'm interested in this conversation. [00:00] mengu: you can hit ctrl+r and type some text to do something similar (with bash) [00:01] MetalGeek_N00b: #ubuntu-offtopic :) [00:01] <_jesse_> !who | tiimo [00:01] tiimo: 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 :) [00:01] <_jesse_> tiimo: and no, it'll remove it automatically if it conflicts [00:01] trism: is this about the shell? [00:02] mengu: yes, about searching for previous commands [00:02] Kevin`: Oh! I didn't see 2.6.34-lucid I will try that guy. [00:02] Kevin`: I was looking at the end of the list. [00:02] Kevin`: Is it safe to try the 2.6.34.1-maverick kernel? [00:03] thats didint work mate [00:03] hello i'm disconnecting very often with a bcm4322 chipset, any advice for this issue? [00:04] trism: i thought it was about setting a shortcut for a specific action. [00:04] <_jesse_> tiimo: prefix your messages with the nick of whomever you are talking too! :P and same error? [00:04] rukubites: you really should use the kernel source directly. unlikely to cause damage if that's what you mean. [00:04] i'm already using ctrl+r but that one is pretty easier and fast [00:04] _jesse_: yes [00:05] _jesse_: Cant i just use the one i downloaded of the sun website its 64 bit [00:05] <_jesse_> tiimo: it's better to use the package manage [00:05] <_jesse_> r [00:05] Kevin`: I'm not really comfortable compiling it myself - especially on an unstable system. Are you meaning to use, e.g.: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/ ? [00:05] <_jesse_> tiimo: try sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre-headless [00:06] http://www.xfce.org/documentation/4.2/manuals/xfdesktop#xfdesktop-menu [00:06] how do i get to figure 5 [00:06] rukubites: no, I was meaning to compile it yourself. although the disk access would probably make that rather unsuitible, unless you do it in ram [00:07] _jesse_ Problem is the app wont work with the openjdk its needs the sun java [00:07] <_jesse_> tiimo: ah alrihgt, then sure try sun's version, or enable the other repos (nonfree I think) and install sun's ppa [00:08] sure [00:08] hi folks, everytime i boot up ubuntu, my two drives swtich their /dev/ position [00:08] Kevin`: It isn't really feasible for me to compile the kernel. Especially since I don't have build tools installed, and installing them is scary given the hard drive hangs periodically. [00:08] Hello? What do I do to access files a Windows user shares with me on the LAN? I'm able to access the machine by ip, do I need to do something to set the file permissions? [00:08] so seem to alternate between /dev/sda, /dev/sdb and /dev/sde, /dev/sdf [00:08] <_jesse_> tiimo: gotta run, I'm sure someone else can help if that doesn't fix the issue [00:08] and then RAID can't find them [00:08] superlou: Is that causing any problems? [00:09] Jordan_U, mdadm doesn't find them to create software raid /dev/md0 [00:09] otherwise, wouldn't really be an issue [00:09] am i missing something important here? [00:09] How do I disable the "extra" or "multimedia" keys on my keyboard from doing anything? [00:10] i can edit /etc/mdadm.conf [00:10] to update the drive /dev locations [00:10] then do mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 [00:10] and it rebuilds [00:10] well, not rebuilds [00:10] it's available again [00:10] hello---this is new to me,, so please be kind [00:10] superlou: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:11] superlou: mdadm shouldn't rely on device enumeration, it should use UUIDs (I thought that it did by default) [00:11] i thought it was supposed to, but in /etc/mdadm.conf, it's by dev [00:11] Can somebody tell me how to do a RAID with ubuntu? [00:12] is there a better way to assign them other than manually finding the UUID and replacing it in /etc/mdadm.conf? [00:12] How do I disable the "extra" or "multimedia" keys on my keyboard from doing anything? [00:12] superlou: Can you please file a bug report? [00:12] benjr, system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts [00:12] benjr: why do you want to disable them> [00:12] sure, with ubuntu? or is mdadm a seperate project? [00:12] Hello? [00:12] benjr, It might be a bit tricky to figure out which code refers to what key but a little trial and error should solve that [00:13] Gryllida, hi :) [00:13] Jordan_U, the bug is that they were created with device enum instead of UUID? [00:13] superlou: With the mdadm package in Ubuntu. [00:13] edbian, What do I do to access files a Windows user shares with me on the LAN? I'm able to access the machine by ip, do I need to do something to set the file permissions? [00:13] Jordan_U, there was also something funny when i installed the mdadm package. Postfix failed to install properly I think. [00:13] Could that be related? [00:13] superlou: I doubt it. [00:13] !bugs | superlou [00:13] superlou: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [00:14] Gryllida, you can't just browse to it in nautilus [00:14] how do i turen on my nic card---it's a new install [00:14] edbian, ? [00:14] Gryllida, places -> network [00:14] Kahlua, i tried http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch26_:_Linux_Software_RAID#Sponsors [00:14] TOM527: you are refering to a wireless network card? [00:15] edbian, I just opened it in nautilus, seems to let me read files, I am concerned about the permissions of the files I would write there, like whether the windows user would be able to open them [00:15] Gryllida, What OS is the windows server? Windows 7 ? [00:15] edbian: that worked for most of them, but not all, the "home" and "fav" button still do something, ive disabled evrey keyboard shortcut [00:15] yes---thankk you i just installed ubuntu on my dell 505 and the card works in xp but not ubuntu---i'm new at ubuntu' [00:16] benjr, I'm not sure then :( [00:16] Dr_Willis: I want to lock down the box, its going to be used by mentially challenged users (no exaguration) [00:16] edbian, windows xp [00:16] benjr: I saw a Crayola Keyboard the other day that has a lot of extra keys removed. (good for kids) no F keys. and so on. and BIG bright letters. [00:17] benjr: going to get one for the grandkids [00:17] benjr: ahhh, so undergrads [00:17] Gryllida, Then it will totally ignore the linux file permissions [00:17] In Microsoft's infinite wisdom they decided that windows xp and ntfs should not implement file permissions in any way. [00:17] edbian, the fact is that new files I make are readable and editable only by me, that windows user can't even open them [00:18] Gryllida: those just confuse users.. [00:18] edbian, and I'm wondering how I would configure it [00:18] Jordan_U, i filed the bug via ubuntu-bug mdadm. Is that the end of the process nowadays or do I follow up online? [00:18] Gryllida, Try setting the last octect to 7. I really am very confused why it would do that though [00:18] edbian: ?? [00:18] superlou: ubuntu-bug should have opened a browser window for you to continue with filing the bug. [00:18] Gryllida, chmod 777 /path/to/file [00:19] ok [00:19] Gryllida, Do you know how to change file permissions on linux? [00:19] Jordan_U, whoops, it was a bit slow, and I'm going between computers in two rooms. Sorry. [00:19] I prefer using the letters like chmod u+rwx or whatever [00:21] edbian: [00:21] $ chmod 777 test.txt [00:21] chmod: changing permissions of `test.txt': Operation not supported [00:22] edbian: I did it after cd'ing to the file dir in ~/.gvfs/ [00:22] sudo [00:22] ok [00:22] sudo chmod 777 test.txt [00:22] $ sudo chmod 777 test.txt [00:22] [sudo] password for user: [00:22] chmod: cannot access `test.txt': Permission denied [00:22] so afdter working on with windows, doing it for a school for the last 18 years--i was retired and now i'm looking to learn ubuntu---and this booksays to join an irc and they might help answer any questions [00:23] !hi | TOM527 [00:23] TOM527: Hi!

[00:25] ok i need some serious help [00:25] didn't mean to shout--pinky error [00:25] I made a BIGGGGG boo boo [00:25] Tempus_: Okay. What'd you break? :-) [00:25] baltane: I opened it with nano, it exists [00:26] hahah you guessed it [00:26] i did this [00:26] Tempus_, What is it? [00:26] rm login.keyring [00:26] removed [00:26] so now I cant get in [00:26] How do I undo a hard block on my wLAN when my wireless switch/button doesn't work under Ubuntu? This has been a problem before, but it "magically" unlocked and started working two weeks ago until the battery came out of my laptop (while it was on but suspended) earlier today. [00:26] Gryllida: hi [00:26] :) [00:26] Okay two kernels to try until they fail. [00:26] yes I was trying to get rid of the default.keyring for the wireless and that was the only keyring in that dir [00:27] baltane: edbian: what can you suggest to continue with the permissions issue? [00:27] Gryllida, where is the file located? [00:27] Gryllida, What are the permissions on the files in question right now? [00:27] Gryllida, 777? [00:27] My webcam gets hot I was curious if I could disable it. I tried modprob -r stkcamera but I don't know if that did anything. [00:27] Gryllida, If they're not 777 make them 777 and try again. [00:28] Spaztic_One: What is the output of "rfkill list"? [00:28] so can i use the recovery shell and maybe an apt-get....???? [00:28] killall [00:28] Jordan_U: soft block no, hard block yes [00:29] Spaztic_One: I assume you've tried rfkill unblock? [00:29] Spaztic_One: i got an odd laptop. if i use the switch to turn off wireless.. i have to go to windows.. turn it back on.. then reboot.. :( i never touch the switch any more [00:29] Jordan_U: Not yet, wasn't aware of that. === Longhorn|XP is now known as Longhorn [00:29] Dr_Willis: Don't have anything other than Lucid on this machine. [00:30] i typed befdore i read-----the book is beginning ubuntu lynix by thomas and channelle [00:30] ok am I being ignored or nobody has ever done that and dont know how to fix it ?? [00:30] How would I go about turning off a specific usb device, I can see the device with lsusb, I think I can power it off right? === Samual_ is now known as Samual [00:30] Tempus_: im not even clear on what you did, so ive never done it. :) [00:31] Jordan_U: Doesn't seem to undo the hard block. [00:31] Tempus_: btw, you're not being ignored, people tend not to answer if they can't help. [00:31] Tempus_, Suggestion: create a new user. Use root to copy your files into that new user. Delete the old user. [00:31] Is there a faster driver for an Nvidia geforce MX 440 agp 8x, full screen browser is jumpy [00:31] ok how do I aim or reply my response to someone particular [00:31] are there any websites that can tell me the dependancies of any ubuntu package? [00:31] Spaztic_One: Didn't expect it to (but it was worth trying). Is there any option for this in the BIOS? [00:32] kelly873: what driver are you using? [00:32] !tab | Tempus_ [00:32] Tempus_: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [00:32] how to tell ? [00:32] kelly873: did you install one? [00:32] lspci says: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev a2) [00:32] no, new install [00:32] the install went well---but before i try ndis wrapper,,i thought i would google it and then try irc---at work i only used dell chat for suppot [00:32] Tempus_: Just include their nick in your reply. [00:32] Dr_Willis: ok cool [00:32] got it ty [00:32] Jordan_U and Dr_Willis :: It might be worthy of note to say that my wifi button doesn't do anything,. and the status light (for on/off) acts as an activity light, switching between orange and blue as wireless network activity occurs. [00:33] i have an abit ip35 pro with an spdif optical ouput. how can i enable/use it? [00:33] Jordan_U: There isn't an option in the BIOS. Closest thing I have found has been enabling booting from a network. [00:33] kelly873: There are propriotary drivers, and maybe some open source ones. Go to system->administration->hardware drivers and it should show the proprietary ones. [00:33] Spaztic_One: ive seen/heard of so many laptops with flakey switches.. You may want to check the forums for youir exact make/model - ther may be some tweaks for it [00:33] thank you melkor [00:34] Let me find what I was trying to do then I can explain ....basically I am missing the gnome-keyring-manager .....more specifically the login.keyring and cant even log into my system to try to fix it cuz all the login stuff is gone [00:34] it says no proprietary drivers are used [00:34] does ubuntu need antivirus? [00:34] skumara, no [00:34] I have a dual-boot system so i am in vista right now ..grrrrr [00:34] activate the nvidia one ? [00:35] avast has a .deb package for antivirus [00:35] kelly873: that should be fine, I don't have nvidia though. [00:35] thansk ! [00:35] skumara, i say no some say yes so your choice /// use clame tk/av [00:35] !virus | skumara [00:35] skumara: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [00:36] skumara: hiexpo is in a small minority in thinking that you need an antivirus for Ubuntu :) [00:37] i have a dual boot between windows 7 and ubuntu. i just re-installed my system from scratch, but after installing 7 then ubuntu (so i can use grub) i can't boot into 7 from grub. it shows " windows 7 (loader)" as the option, and clicking on that takes me to a black screen with that typing underscore flashing. ideas? [00:37] Jordan_U, i said no what u mean [00:37] hiexpo: Sorry, misread. [00:37] skumara: i've been using Ubuntu since 6.10 and have not ran 1 virus scan. on 3 different boxes. 1 a server [00:37] I run antivirus just so I don't ever spread anything to a clients windows PC. [00:37] bastid_raZor: nor I [00:38] dugger5688 a windows virus cant inject itself into linux memory anyways [00:38] dugger5688: unless you are d/l windows stuph, there really is no need [00:38] during backup for instance because their machine is absolutely crawling with crap. [00:38] dugger5688 what antivirus u run on ubuntu? [00:38] skumara, yes beaware you can pass a virus but it will not effect a linuxbox just pass it along to a windows one is all [00:38] clamav :-P [00:38] hum [00:38] hiexpo: Sorry, misread. [00:39] i'll type everything out in word and then come back and paste it here----it's hard for me to keep up [00:39] Jordan_U, np [00:39] istvan: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? [00:39] thanbk-you [00:39] hiexpo how does a virus pass from a linux box to windows? [00:39] fridgerator: if the box dosent cover its usb ports when it sneezes.. [00:39] in order to exploit a linux box, you'd really need root access there are prolly some around - but I haven't encountered any in 5 years of using linux [00:40] ive been using linux since 95' and have never had a virus [00:40] fridgerator: if there's an infected file on a linux box that gets sent to windows(emailed, ftp'ed, scp'd, etc), then it could affect the windows pc [00:40] fridgerator: wish I could core-dump your brain [00:40] fridgerator, if you receive a file that has a virus itwill not effect linux but you send it out and someone recieves it that uses windows they are sick :) [00:41] hey guys [00:41] hiexpo: yeah but I don't make it a habit of sending / forwarding emails -- so that's moot for me. [00:41] i suppose, i dont deal with email attachments very often, if i do its through gmail or something [00:41] hi pepole [00:41] we should go to offtopic with this [00:41] Blue1, than it's not a prob [00:41] some one here can help me [00:41] ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:42] :) aircrack [00:42] gasstra nobody will help you with that here [00:42] !aircrack-ng | Gaastra [00:42] Unless you are storing or transferring documents or running a fileserver with windows clients you probably don't need AV.

[00:48] shzlnzl: use aptitude or synaptic, maybe wine has a different package name than just wine [00:49] shzlnzl, #1...i like the name...#2 - sounds stupid but have you logged out of your x session and back in?

So that is why Ubuntu is telling you it doesn't have permissions. The windows machine can't read the file you said? [00:50] cablop i prefer metacity to compiz [00:50] slidinghorn : aptitude = woked, thanks [00:50] worked [00:50] Gryllida, Look at the permissions using the Ubuntu machine. [00:50] edbian: ubuntu is not telling me I do not have permissions, I'm able to open the file allright, and to edit it as well [00:50] Gryllida, But windows says what again? [00:50] edbian: yes, the windows machine can't read the file [00:50] "access denied" [00:50] did anyone look at that page will that work to get me back into gnome [00:50] http://digitizor.com/2010/07/09/how-to-reset-all-gnome-settings-in-ubuntu-or-fedora/ [00:50] fridgerator, well, both came anebled by default, i was just trying to enable the basic compiz thing just to throw CPU usage to my graphic card and keep more CPU on my desk [00:51] edbian: do you have some suggestions? [00:51] also i was thinking in removing the compiz thing if that won't work, but... the bad thing is... the session-manager depends on compiz!!! [00:51] what a stupid dependence in ubuntu! [00:51] Gryllida, What does windows say when you try to read the file? [00:52] cablop you can make metacity the compositing manager if you want [00:52] cablop, you can always just *disable* compiz [00:52] cablop: what is session-manager? i have uninstalled compiz on my computer [00:52] I have determined my router is making NFS go from 11mb/s to 1.7mb/s any ideas why this would happen... ? [00:52] cablop i removed compiz and make metacity the default compositing manager [00:52] !pm | Gaastra [00:52] Gaastra: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [00:52] edbian: the windows os can't open it, 'access dednied' [00:53] okis [00:53] Gryllida, The file is local on the windows machine? [00:53] fridgerator: can you tell me how did you do that? that would be usefull for me [00:53] no problem [00:53] sor [00:53] sory [00:53] cablop use: apt-get --purge remove compiz compiz-core [00:53] i removed bluetooth and tomboy and some media players, brasero and so on, i just want a simple linux to run as a simple test server :P then to remove compiz will help more [00:53] edbian: the file is located on the windows machine [00:54] edbian: D:/shareddir/test.txt [00:54] fridgerator: i think also metacity could be removed... what would happen if i disable metacity? [00:54] edbian: where D: is an internal HDD [00:54] cablop: I think you can go to Styem -> preferences -> appearance, click on the visual effects tab and set it to "none", then what fridgerator said [00:54] cablop, copy the valuable data and reinstall the OS ? [00:54] quick question -- when I restart my computer wireless networking doesnt start up automatically, what process do i need to add to startup for it? [00:55] cablop: without compiz or metacity or some other window manager, your windows wouldn't have any borders [00:55] cablop: You ever used vanilla X window manager? That's what would happen. [00:55] nah UberN00b this is a fresh install just trescuing the valuable data after a 8.04 crash [00:55] cablop to use metacity as the default manager do: gconf-editor, apps->metacity->general then just click the checkbox in compositing_manager [00:55] cablop, metacity is not dependent on compiz [00:55] that sounds good enough [00:55] cablop, oh ok [00:55] cablop thats after you remove compiz [00:56] after or before? [00:56] ok, i installed gnome sensors-applet but i cannot figure out where it is... [00:56] When unstalling the cups-pdf printer, on the initial screen it shows cups-pdf, I choose it then "forward" and it wants me to pick a printer from the database. What do I pick for the cups-pdf driver? Generic? [00:56] unstalling = installing [00:56] is there any lighter manager than metacity? [00:56] edbian: do you have a suggestion? [00:57] cablop yes, but im not familiar with them [00:57] . [00:57] drew212: you should be able to add it to the gnome-panel..right click on the panel and add to panel [00:57] cablop: metacity is fairly lightweight. If you're trying to save on resources then you might consider running xfce instead of gnome [00:58] drew212, read up ^ [00:58] also, anyone know how to remove sound recorder without f'ing up Gnome updates? [00:58] Scunizi, pick the printer then your driver options should change [00:58] mm, xfce... it's still called xfce4 or just xfce in the repos? [00:58] cablop: i'm not sure, i haven't messed with it in several years [00:59] Help! [00:59] cablop, xfce4 [00:59] the_e, 1language and just go into to synaptic and type sound and search for it if u don't know the name of the app [00:59] BluesKaj: picked "generic" and it gave me the cups-pdf driver.. checking it now.. prints things upside down.. and crops the page.. [01:00] thanks Sylphid [01:00] samijam, yes i disn't also, i disliked it cause it was light but buggy [01:00] Can anyone comment on the performance of vmware VM's compared to Virtualbox?? === ri is now known as Guest63655 [01:01] AHH crap, !! help, so i just used ccrypt -r /~private to encrypt an entire directory. how do i decrypt the entire directory? [01:01] hiexpo, the_e i think your talking about it removing the ubuntu-desktop metapackage [01:01] sysdoc, i like vb myself [01:01] Scunizi, i said choose your printer first [01:01] i have tried apt-get , aptitude, and synaptic to remove wine... all claim its not installed but when i type wine into terminal i still get a wine menu and it still appears in teh applications menu, can anyone help me remove it? [01:01] I dont want to though, just sound recorder cause I have no mic.. [01:01] fridgerator, must i change the composition manager after removing compiz? [01:01] the_e this should not break updates if that meta-package is missing [01:01] sysdoc: that is offtopic for this channel, please join #ubuntu-offtopic I am certain there are plenty of people there who could answer [01:01] one sec ill tell you what it tells me [01:01] cablop you dont have to, but some things wont work right without a compositing manager [01:02] bastid_raZor: what is the name of it then? [01:02] WOW [01:02] BluesKaj: cups-pdf is the printer but there is no option for that in the printer list.. [01:02] Sylphid, no you just start searching in there for sound recorder [01:02] fridgerator: i just changed it and my shell windows had a real transparent background! nice! [01:02] cablop yep [01:02] shzlnzl: did you install it through the repos using apt/aptitiude/synaptic? [01:02] "If you uninstall Sound Recorder future updates will not include new items in The Ubuntu Desktop system set. Are you sure you want to continue?" [01:02] Scunizi, the make and model should be in the list [01:03] How do I undo a hard block on my wLAN when my wireless switch/button doesn't work under Ubuntu? This has been a problem before, but it "magically" unlocked and started working two weeks ago until the battery came out of my laptop (while it was on but suspended) earlier today. [01:03] fridgerator: i think this is why you say we don't need compiz to have a decent system [01:03] thune3: no, i compiled it i believe [01:03] is it normal to have hight CPU usage when I stream youtube in fullscreen? [01:03] sysdoc: VMware is better interms of performance compared to Virtual box [01:04] drew212: hardware sensors monitor [01:04] BluesKaj: I don't think you're aware of what cups-pdf is.. it creates a printer called cups-pdf that is selectable from a printer dialogue box in any program. [01:04] shzlnzl: if you don't use checkinstall to install compiled packages, then apt doesn't keep track of them. [01:04] Spaztic_One: Have you tried calling the manufacturer? [01:05] thune3: i see, so how can i remove it? [01:05] shzlnzl: the wine package if you still have the source dir has a "make uninstall" [01:05] thune3: rgr, will try, thanks [01:05] the_e, that means that if there are any new packages called by the ubuntu_desktop metapackage that get added in the future they will not automatically get installed [01:06] ok will bbl [01:06] thanx all [01:06] Scunizi,I'm aware , but why your choosing cups is beyonf me , it's a way the printer communicates like samba , the driver is waht you need to choose , cups will run automatically on a lower level [01:06] true get sudo apt-get install checkinstall [01:06] the_e, this is generally safe and i dont believe you can avoid this [01:06] thats really stupid [01:06] thanks though [01:06] thune3: worked, thanks again [01:06] Jordan_U: No, And I don't suspect they would care to talk to me. I bought this laptop used off of ebay about 3 weeks ago. [01:07] pdf conversion is another matter ,but go ahead and try it, Scunizi [01:07] bastid_raZor: still cant find it =X [01:07] BluesKaj: you've totally misunderstood. I know cups is a backend server. It's just this goofy kde printer setup forces me to http://localhost:631 where I can actually get done what I need.. thanks for trying though. [01:07] !ubuntu-desktop | the_e [01:07] the_e: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [01:08] Sylphid: the_e it is safe to remove the ubuntu-desktop package but you will want to re-install, it could cause issues when upgrading to future release if missing [01:08] is it normal to have hight CPU usage when I stream youtube in fullscreen? [01:08] gotta go ...lawn nneds watering [01:08] shzlnzl: fyi, there is a wine ppa if you want the lastest wine: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa [01:08] Godfather8850: Yeah [01:08] Jordan_U: Also, if it was working and stable, it should be able to become so again, shouldn't it? [01:08] kahlua, the average goes very high up to 70% [01:08] cupps is great i use it alot everyday no wasting paper [01:08] Spaztic_One: Yes, but it may require a hardware fix rather than a software one. [01:09] Yeah..that should not be a problem [01:09] well, it seems that metacity relies in CPU more than gra[phics so it will slow the vm more [01:09] that's stupidly insane [01:09] Jordan_U: Hmm, would there be any way for me to determine that one way or another myself and then preform the fix on my own? [01:10] * vsk good night all [01:11] Spaztic_One: I don't know, you might ask in ##hardware [01:11] gnight vsk [01:11] Im trying to unrar some parts (47 of them) to single one, but proces seems to go over and over again === wai is now known as avidya [01:12] thx cablop === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC [01:12] kahlua, thank u :) [01:12] alket, u neen unrar free uninstall un rar and reinstall unrara free [01:13] !unrar free [01:13] what's the command for erasing my entire disk? [01:13] !unrarfree [01:13] hmm [01:13] IdleOne, i know i got that the other day [01:14] Is it generally safe to use "mainline" maverick kernels with lucid? [01:14] alket: the package is named unrar-free [01:14] rukubites: no [01:14] Figured I'd start here. Technical issue of the media variety. Playback of anything (DVDs, video, audio) in VLC is choppy, laggy whereas Totem is playing them all fine. Unfortunatly I've no idea why this is happening. It slightly bothers me because usually VLC is snazzy and I prefer it as a media player and I imagine if Totem can play the files there'll be a good, and fixable, reason why VLC can't. [01:14] IdleOne: Thanks. I'm trying kernels to fix a Marvell9123 SATA controller issue. [01:15] I want a fresh start with ubuntu. What's the command for erasing an entire disk? [01:15] hiexpo, IdleOne , still the same [01:15] rukubites: #ubuntu+1 for maverick questions [01:15] acrousey, install on top of your present disk [01:15] acrousey: Just tell the Ubuntu installer to use the entire disk. [01:15] acidchild, there is a utility named Dban you can download and burn to disk [01:15] coz_: I think dban is overkill in this case. [01:15] ... [01:15] rukubites, Why don't you format your HD using the install disk [01:16] no ideas? [01:16] Gryllida, did you fix your permission problem? [01:16] no [01:16] is there a way to share hard drives on 2 diff linux computers, something similar to the remote desktop viewer? [01:16] Gryllida, Where is your file located [01:16] ? === wfj3 is now known as wfjackson3 [01:16] baltane: it's at the windows xp server [01:17] hey, how i can watch this video [01:17] http://www.sub.fi/ohjelmat/sivusto.shtml/poliisikoira_rex/video?43030 [01:17] hiexpo, IdleOne : i got it, i selected all and extracted them but it needed just to unrar one of them, thank you [01:17] <_jesse_> vandor: you need to install flash [01:17] <_jesse_> !flash | vandor [01:17] vandor: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [01:17] Gryllida, you can't add permission to files on window shares [01:17] Bookman/Jordan_U, I've been trying to do that, but it won't take the CD's that I used originally to install it. Like 9.04, 8.10 or even 8.04 or not working. I think I did something I shouldn't have when I was trying to get around the "mountall" bug. [01:17] hmm i tought i already installed it o_O [01:18] acrousey, well erasing your disk will not solve that.\ [01:18] <_jesse_> vandor: nevermind, you're write it's not flash [01:18] <_jesse_> *right [01:18] i hate when i get the boot [01:18] acrousey: What do you mean by "won't take"? What exactly happens when you try to boot the CD? [01:18] hi, i've got a problem. i get the message, that root will only have 300 mbs free. if i look with baobab, there should be about 5 gb free (settings of baobab says, there are only 800 mbs free). root-partition has a total amount of 10 gb. i'm using 9.10 [01:18] acrousey, you have a CD problem then. [01:18] vandor that vid seems not to be there anymore, try right clicking on the video window on the browser and "open with movie player" [01:18] Gryllida, Try connecting to your window server as Administrator [01:18] there's errors on the CD [01:19] baltane, but I must be able to put files to there so that that user can open them ; as for now even the windows os doesn't have access ; the file can't even be copied to another location [01:19] baltane, try to connect to it as Administrator every time I want to access it? [01:19] I just installed karmic LTS. I took the guided LVM, which set me up with one big root (53 GB) partition. I'd like to break it down into a 10 GB root, 10 GB home, and remainder for bulk (reloadable from original media). [01:19] Is this doable? [01:19] <_jesse_> vandor: I can't watch it either, I think it has to do something with the encoding [01:19] Gryllida, no, only when you want to modify it [01:19] ... [01:19] How can i get into BIOS and change it to my alternative CD player? [01:19] Gryllida, or use FTP [01:19] baltane: I can modify it fine now [01:20] acrousey, how will that help you error filled CD? [01:20] Also, df -h gives me an odd output... says size 53 GB, in use 2 GB, remainder 48 GB. Where'd the other 3 GB go? [01:20] well, after some additional research you are right [01:20] baltane: but the files I make are not openable by the windows user [01:20] damn [01:20] baltane: he gets Access denied [01:20] have to boot xp :( [01:20] <_jesse_> vandor: maybe someone else can help you more [01:20] ... [01:20] hello [01:20] hi [01:20] !separatehome | puff [01:20] puff: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [01:20] acrousey, you need to no your system type and google start bios on boot with your model number all machines are dif === Andre_Gondim-afk is now known as Andre_Gondim [01:20] Bookman, I used the 8.04 CD when I first got ubuntu [01:20] ill check this tomorrow, just want to watch something before i sleep :D [01:21] <_jesse_> vandor: I'm not familiar with the specifics of the html 5 video tags work in the browser [01:21] Gryllida, Can you access your windows server? you have to give permissions from there [01:21] <_jesse_> vandor: ah alright :) [01:21] question, would 64bit ubuntu give any speed increase for java applications (to the point: NetBeans) ? [01:21] and now it's not working [01:21] bye everyone [01:21] acrousey, and when you try that again, what is the error? [01:21] baltane: I can log in to this shared dir and moify all files === Nwab is now known as Benwa [01:21] baltane: the file permissions for that dir are set to 'everyone: full control' [01:21] adioe3, no 32 bit is actually betta on a 64 bit sys [01:22] Bookman, it freezes on the ubuntu loading back and forth screen [01:22] baltane: however the new files that I make do not have access for the windows user [01:22] bodi, how do you mean? [01:22] baltane: anything you can suggest? [01:22] adioe3, it operates better and faster [01:23] Gryllida, It's a windows problem that's for sure. Let me check how I have the share configuration on my windows server [01:23] acrousey, ok, is it trying to boot from the CD? Is the light on? [01:23] Not to mention, where'd the rest of the disk go? Started with 60GB, ubuntu decided there were 59.2GB (understandable), 2.5GB for swap leaves 56.5, but the partition ended up being 53GB. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/WRLQvCyT [01:23] bookman, yeah, but should it be freezing in the middle of loading?

Would you suggest more patience? [01:25] acrousey, you are sure it is booting off the CD? Try holding DEL when you power up, or ESC [01:25] Make sure you are booting off CD [01:25] acrousey, did you boot from HD before? [01:26] sounds like partion goof / soory to me [01:30] Im having trouble adding a printer. It is hosted on an lpr print server. I have the driver installed correctly I beleieve.

[01:38] Cityscape: if you trust the repo where those packages come from it is "safe" for you to go ahead and install. #ubuntu does not provide support for Ubuntu CE though.

[01:48] bodi: here is a image of baobab: http://s1.directupload.net/file/d/2220/ab542wln_png.htm and from gparted: http://s1.directupload.net/file/d/2220/gwdz33b9_png.htm [01:49] 2 gig ram [01:49] that software just sounds nice :) [01:49] mblackm1: that is plenty to run ubuntu smoothly [01:49] pent 4 2.20 gz [01:49] so does anyone have any idea to why i have to sudo dhclient eth0 everytime i boot up? [01:49] 205 gig hard drive [01:49] cablop: just install it, and reboot. I think the charts show up in /var/log or /var/log/bootchart [01:49] mblackm1: perhaps disable compiz? [01:50] Hey guys, I have a strange semi-problem [01:50] Finity: we will have a quarter solution :) [01:50] thanks a lot ChogyDan i think it would really address what's working good or bad [01:50] DeuS_CaNoN: maybe you don't have your network setup to use dhcp by default? [01:50] I'm not sure what I did, but I was having to wicd to connect to my wireless network where I used to live (used WPA2 personal encryption) [01:50] which file do i have to edit? [01:50] actually it isnt loaded the iso was under 650 m from the dvd there were 3 distro's on it [01:50] Now I'm on a WPA connection, and wicd was working fine [01:50] DeuS_CaNoN: are you using network-manager? === Zeike is now known as brandonj [01:51] but i'm pretty sure it is really related to the grahic interface, if i disabled the GDM the system boot in a pretty decent speed [01:51] then I added the wicd servers to my repo list, and suddenly wicd broke [01:51] uhhh usually i use terminal but sure network manager [01:51] hey fellas. this isn't an ubuntu specific question, but if i want to disable the xorg enviornment from being booted (to make the machine terminal/ssh only), where exactly would i edit that? [01:51] I want to replace backspace keyboard button with insert button in linux, how can I configure keyboard functionality in linux? [01:51] i am doing an update right now (over 500 files) [01:51] and couldn't connect wirelessly [01:51] DeuS_CaNoN: no, term and nm don't mix. [01:52] so I had to hard-wires with wicd (which worked fine), and reinstall network-manager to connect [01:52] lol k [01:52] and im in kubuntu 10.4 LTS [01:52] any idea why that would happen? I already had the latest (1.7.0) of wicd, so it didn't get updated [01:52] Jordan_U, hey you helped me out a day or so ago with grub2 and setting the default kernel, didn't seem to stick, we edited the /etc/default/grup and changed the 0 to saved, then sudo grup-default-update (or something like that) and the kernel "Ubuntu, kernel number" didn't seem to stick any ideas? [01:52] Gryllida, Sorry I didn't find anything useful, but I can tell you that it's a sharing problem on your windows server. [01:52] So im in Network connections from system settings [01:53] I want to replace "backspace" keyboard button with "insert" button in linux, how can I configure keyboard functionality in linux? [01:53] !nox | Kyngdom [01:53] Kyngdom: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. [01:53] i have a question. kinda easy one. i know how to make a usb flash drive raw on windows but am having problems finding it on 9.04 [01:53] i plan on camping here to see what every-one is haveing trouble with and how they are dealing mainly interested now if 10.04 is doing well or not [01:53] DeuS_CaNoN: is it set to get an ip address? sorry, I don't know kubuntu [01:53] shane2peru_lapto: Did you run "sudo update-grub" after changing /etc/default/grub ? What is the exact command you used with grub-set-default? [01:53] IdleOne, thank you for the input. that won't work on my admittedly unnecessary set up, but i appreciate the input [01:53] mblackm1: to load things like apache and postgreesql and mysql i see it's faster [01:53] mblackm1: that is awesome. feel free to help out where you can [01:53] guys, please help me, the backspace button in my keyboard has broken : I want to replace "backspace" keyboard button with "insert" button in linux, how can I configure keyboard functionality in linux? [01:54] baltane: No, this is a problem with linux OS unable to set the permissions for the files it puts to the shared location. It should. A dozen of Windows users access that shared dir on that windows xp server just fine. [01:54] Kyngdom: sorry. [01:54] it's quite alright :) [01:54] Jordan_U, ahh, no, I didn't, that probably is why, let me give that a try [01:54] uhh hmmm i dont think so [01:54] Kyngdom: perhaps ##linux [01:54] well i have 4 tabs, Network connections, proxy, connection preferences, and service discovery [01:54] Guess I'll just have to get used to a new-to-me wifi network client :( [01:54] thank you [01:54] does anyone know the current package name for binutils? [01:54] in network connections i just have nothing [01:54] lol i would but i am known for my persistance not my genius [01:54] I want to replace "backspace" keyboard button with "insert" button in linux, how can I configure keyboard functionality in linux? [01:55] mblackm1: the GUI demands a decent graphic card, i had no bad issues with the pure shell and some services, but the GUI is killing my system [01:55] TemperingPick: ... It's still binutils. [01:55] actually wouldnt this solve my problem, in my .bashrc i just type sudo dhclient eth0 [01:55] mithridates: I'm not sure how to do it system wide, but for your terminal type 'stty erase ^Vinsert' where ^V is "control-v" and "insert" is pressing your insert key. [01:55] Jordan_U, is there a way to tell what is set as default without rebooting? [01:55] uhh how do i give the password along with sudo in one command [01:55] Finity, try purging wicd remove the repo then reinstall wicd [01:56] i bet that is my trouble too my screen flickers some times and seems to "reload" [01:56] DeuS_CaNoN: you cant [01:56] mblackm1: and if you came from the last LTS as i did you'll find that ubuntu had changed a LOT and it will be very hard to migrate from 8.04 to 10.04, if that's te case you'll need to test 10.04 first, for at least a week and learn the new things and make a good plan on that migration [01:56] damn [01:56] DeuS_CaNoN: and no that wouldnt solve it as thatd have it dhclient every time you open a terminal [01:56] mithridates: first google result: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=188761 [01:56] DeuS_CaNoN: youd want it in ~/.profile ayway [01:56] This is weird [01:56] DeuS_CaNoN: What does /etc/network/interfaces say for eth0? [01:56] I get not available, but is referred to another package. [01:56] Sylphid: I'll give that a shot, thanks :) [01:56] Why the heck would you bring up a network interface in .profile? [01:57] haha [01:57] can i have some help? [01:57] auto lo [01:57] i am not migrateing this is a clean new install [01:57] iface lo inetloopback [01:57] thats it [01:57] DeuS_CaNoN: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:57] ahh sorry [01:57] Then your eth0 interface isn't defined to the operating system [01:57] heh, yeah, you apologize to that bot :p [01:57] thank you gdb and Finity [01:58] i apologize to entire channel :P [01:58] can anyone tell me how to make a usb drive raw? so theres no ntfs or fat [01:58] ok i have no idea how to set this up in the interface file [01:58] what do i have to type? [01:58] DeuS_CaNoN: add these 3 lines to /etc/network/interfaces (do not use the line numbers) > 1. allow-hotplug eth0 2. auto eth0 3. iface eth0 dhcp [01:58] shane2peru_lapto: You can look in /boot/grub/grubenv, or install grub-emu if you really want. [01:59] boogie_: What is your end goal? [01:59] just below what i have so far in it? [01:59] Jordan_U, ok, thanks a bundle again [01:59] shane2peru_lapto: You're welcome. [01:59] DeuS_CaNoN: Yes [01:59] backup my wii games onto a raw hdd [01:59] DeuS_CaNoN: then do this > /etc/init.d/networking restart [01:59] DeuS_CaNoN: If you get an error, remove the hotplug line === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB [02:00] mithridates: np, btw, the first reply in that topic, might be better for what you're looking to do [02:00] Jordan_U, just checking the /boot/grub/grubenv was easy enough. quick and simple, gotta love it. [02:00] just remap key 90 to Backspace [02:00] it looks like [02:00] Jordan_U: can you help? [02:00] boogie_: I don't know anything about backing up wii games, but it's normally more practical to save disk images as files. [02:01] how can i install the xfce4 with the things it need but not media players and nothing like that [02:01] Jordan_U: the wii doesnt read an external hdd unless its raw [02:01] Is there any way to play Youtube videos on Ubuntu 5.04? [02:01] gdb: i get /etc/network/interfaces:5: too few parameters for iface line [02:01] 5.04? omg [02:01] Jordan_U: i found ways to backup my games, i just need to make my flash drive raw [02:01] user1_: 5.04 is 5 years old and no longer supported [02:01] user1_: for realz? [02:02] DeuS_CaNoN: I made a mistake ;) [02:02] user1_: 5.04 is not supported in any way and it's insecure just to browse at all with it as it hasn't had any security updates in years. [02:02] DeuS_CaNoN: iface eth0 inet dhcp [02:02] ChogyDan: probably not for realz, more for trollz is my guess [02:02] Finity: Tnx a lot [02:02] o crap...it's the best I cud do without paying money for a 2001 Mac iBook [02:02] ok no errors [02:03] user1_: You can download 10.04 from the Internet for free. [02:03] user1_: keep the language clean and stay on topic please [02:03] is there anyway for me to test this out without having to restart? [02:03] Does anyone here know if 10.04 can run under 256 mb and 600 MHz? [02:03] or wait, did the init.d line just do that [02:03] boogie_, i would assume this is done by deleting the mbr on the usb device [02:03] I wonder if it would run on a 2001 iBook tho. [02:03] user1_: Remember, Ubuntu version numbers are in the form of $year.$month. So 5.04 came out in April of 2005. [02:03] <_jesse_> pedro3005: I wouldn're recommend it, if you do, try xubuntu [02:03] DeuS_CaNoN: /etc/init.d/networking restart [02:04] pedro3005: probably, but you might need the alternate CD to install, or some swap space already on there [02:04] boogie_: Then use "dd" to copy the image to the drive directly, but be *very* carefull, as a mistake could completely whipe out the wrong drive. [02:04] DeuS_CaNoN: or invoke-rc.d networking restart [02:04] _jesse_: pedro3005 They say that Lubuntu is much more lite waight than Xubuntu [02:04] boogie_, this is done by dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=1 [02:04] !lubuntu [02:04] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [02:04] invoke-rc.d is the debian version of red hat's service command [02:04] pedro3005 there are other distro's that are meant to run on old low memory systems === rez is now known as Guest67267 [02:04] <_jesse_> sebsebseb: ah not familiar with taht distro :)\ [02:04] boogie_, BE CAREFUL WITH THAT COMMAND!!!! [02:04] Jordan_U: before i copy anything i need to format it raw [02:04] how can I restart my computer [02:04] gdb: Thank you [02:04] without restarting my computer -.- [02:04] if you know what I mean... [02:05] restart my session, I suppose [02:05] log out? [02:05] boogie_: There is no such thing as "formatting to raw". [02:05] boogie_: What instructions are you trying to follow? [02:05] Finity: log out and back in or alt-sysrq-k [02:05] Finity: What is it you want to restart? X? The operating system? The operating environment? [02:05] Jordan_U: well not format to raw, but just make it so it is raw. shall i just delete the partitions on it? [02:06] boogie_: What instructions are you trying to follow? [02:06] Jordan_U: no instructions, if i had instructions i could do it lol i'm still looking for info though [02:06] hey guys [02:06] gdb: I'll just google it, because I'm not sure what x is, and it might be important to know :D [02:07] I can't mount a volume: 'One or more block devices are holding /dev/sda2' [02:07] Finity: X is the GUI [02:07] The X Window System, X11, X Windows, etc [02:07] i reinstall windows xp end the Ubuntu dont wanna boot [02:07] I thought that was GDM [02:07] or are those two completely different things? [02:07] boogie_: I guess the root question is "what are you trying to accomplish?" Perhaps there's a correct way to do what you're trying to do, or at least a possible way. [02:08] Finity: GDM is what displays the graphical login prompt. X is what provides all the actual graphics -- the ability for other programs (like gdm) to put things on the screen. [02:08] Finity: gdm is just a program like any other, like gnome-terminal for example. [02:08] Does anybody here know, how canonical is funded? [02:08] gdb: ah, okay, that makes sense [02:08] I can't mount a volume: 'One or more block devices are holding /dev/sda2' 'fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy' [02:08] Finity: The way X works is sorta hard to get your brain around coming from a non-Unix background. [02:08] I guess I want to restart [02:09] Finity, gdm is the gui for logging in [02:09] the operatin environment [02:09] <_jesse_> Robert_CG: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [02:09] Svendbenno: mark shuttleworth's cheque book? [02:09] Svendbenno: by Mark Shuttleworth see www.canonical.com [02:09] wow..I was way behind, sorry [02:09] oh, cool :P [02:09] how do I can I add ld tomy path? [02:09] Finity: If CTRL-ALT-BS doesn't kill X (ie; nozap is set in the server) then you can login to a tty terminal and kill the pid of X.org or drop the system to runlevel 1 and take it back to runlevel 2. [02:10] Finity: Are you sure X is what you want to restart? [02:10] gdb: nothing like complicating stuff for nothing [02:11] !dontzap [02:11] To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [02:11] When I run sudo apt-get install kernel-package i recieve an error: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/NUQu2TDz [02:11] Finity: Actually, it's easier than that to restart X. heh... login to a tty and run "/etc/init.d/gdm restart [02:11] hello everyone - I have a Grub 2 question. Installed Lubuntu & it worked perfectly. Now I'm dual-booting Lubuntu & Puppy Linux. After shutting down Puppy, Lubuntu will then insist on a disk check before loading. Any ideas? === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux [02:11] Finity: When you do that, and X comes back up, it will grab the display, taking you away from your tty (which you'll still be logged into). You'll need to switch back to it and log out of it) [02:12] does anyone know where the settings are to adjust to kick the cooling fan on sooner? [02:12] gdb: I don't think it's x I want to restart [02:12] I want the computer to think it just rebooted [02:12] without having actually rebooted [02:12] heh [02:12] and is gdm the equivilent of winlogon.exe? [02:12] Finity: alt-sysrq-k [02:13] Finity: Ah, I suppose you could say that.

[02:17] when using a mic with a 4 channel mixer through the mic input on the sound card, should i also be able to hear my voice though speakers/headphones? [02:18] so, I'm guessing X in Linux, is essentially CSRSS.exe in windows? [02:18] alien_: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/latex-beamer.postinst && sudo apt-get remove latex-beamer [02:18] ChogyDan: Ill try that. [02:19] Finity: I don't know what that is. X is just an application like any other, that is able to drive your video card and answer requests for display services from other programs. It's not something special or low level. [02:19] no, that can't be accurate [02:19] gdb: what does x communicate with? [02:19] the kernel? [02:19] "directly" communicate with* [02:19] ChogyDan: I recieved a very simmilar error [02:20] Finity: Yes, it talks to the display driver, the network, your input devices, etc. [02:20] alien_: pastebin [02:21] Finity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:X_client_sever_example.svg -- this diagram may help somewhat [02:21] Hello.

[02:26] Flomaster, 1. for x in $(ls /etc/init.d/); do update-rc.d $x defaults; done [02:26] can i say that to skumara [02:27] Flomaster, that will reset all of your init scripts to defaults on boot [02:27] alien_: rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/latex-beamer.* [02:27] * weecol points skumara to the same channel [02:27] Flomaster, i suggest rebooting after running that to see if sound is still an issue [02:27] sylphid cool I'll try it the audio is just meh, as long as its working in XBMC, the videos work, but none of my navigation menu sounds work === Bebeoix[] is now known as Bebeoix[J-7] [02:28] signing off [02:28] Has anyone else been having problems trying to run Ubuntu 10.04 (32 or 64 bit) in Virtualbox? When simply running a terminal it's extremely slow and there is quite a bit of graphical corruption on the bootup, once I get into GNOME and the XServer is running it seems ok, but feels a little sluggish. I'm running on a Windows 7 64-bit Host with AMD-VT technology enabled. [02:29] gdb, nevermind apparently: "In particular, the kernel mode device driver WIN32K.SYS controls the display of windows (with a lowercase w), screen output, keyboard and mouse input, and message passing." [02:29] I just installed Ubuntu netbook (Lucid Lynx), how do you remove/add folders/items to the "Files & Folders" Category on the "Home Screen"? [02:30] Sylphid: may I pm you? [02:30] Flomaster, go for it [02:31] Finity: Ah, right. In Unix (eg; Linux) the X server runs as a normal userspace application. Looks like in Windows it's part of the kernel itself (like what we'd think of in Linux as a kernel module). [02:31] anyone got any nice oneliners for combining xml / kml files? [02:31] chris062689: Have you installed the vbox guest additions?

[02:36] i just dont know how to fix graphics diver from there [02:36] are the libsomelib.so symlinks provided by the lib package or by a deb package?

[02:38] gdb, thats what i thought, I opened a bug about a package that wasnt creating them correctly and it was closed as because I was told the .so symlink was only meant to come from a dev package https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578038 I just wondered if i had the been thinking the wrong thing for the last decade or so [02:38] gdb: I get a different error if I do "apt-get purge backuppc" and install again. I can log that if you need [02:39] waan: Ok, do this as a test: cd /var/lib/backuppc/pc ; touch test ; ln test ../cpool/test [02:39] waan: Does that work? [02:39] user01, how do i automatically detect proxy settings? [02:39] waan: Ah, you may need to do some sudo magic or be the backuppc user [02:40] waan: Just trying to figure out why it can't create a test hardlink. [02:40] gdb: yeah I cant browse those folders unless I sudo [02:40] waan: Well, as long as the user has a valid shell, you can do this first: sudo su - backuppc [02:40] waan: That will give you a shell as the backuppc user to do your testing with [02:41] gdb: ah, okay, that makes sense... I'm guessing most of everything runs in kernel mode (if I'm not mistaken?) [02:41] erm, user mode* [02:41] waan: If you still get an error, that may be why it can't create a hardlink (permissions issue) [02:41] Finity: Yes, that's right. Even parts of the kernel. ;) [02:42] gdb: yep, as backuppc user "ln: creating hard link `../cpool/test' => `test': Permission denied" [02:42] Finity: When you do a ps -ef, any process in brackets is a kernel process running in usermode.

I would guess that a simple chown -R backuppc.backuppc /var/lib/backuppc would fix the issue but ... You may need to reset some permissions back to root later. [02:50] i am loathe?

[03:42] it depends on the folder [03:42] i opened the link thatr should help and although i appreciate all that you have done i have been at this all day and i'm on vacation in hilton head---if you're nearby i'll take you golfing [03:43] but i need to take a brake [03:43] TOM527: hehe, it's not biggie [03:43] normally 744 or 644... but it reeealy depends on what folder you're in [03:43] TOM527: I was having to set this up just yesterday (only using Ubuntu 10.04 on a lat d520) [03:43] this folder is in my /home/james/apps directory [03:43] so I went through all of this for hours as well [03:43] if you're in jersey i GOLF THERE TOO [03:44] hehe, Houston, TX actually :D [03:44] it's totally controlled by the loggedin user and hosts files for a website thru NgiN-X [03:44] but I keep getting 403 Forbidden [03:44] =/ [03:45] euxneks: did it work? [03:45] hi [03:45] MY EMAIL IS tom.wed@gmail.com if you send me to a sight i will work on that tomorrow i also bought beginning ubuntu linux book today === Anonymous is now known as Guest2480 [03:45] gethoht what means 644 and 744? [03:45] Hello Im trying to install Ubuntu on an old eMachine M5105, which version should I install? I'm trying to install the new one, but it stalls on the install :( [03:45] goog night [03:46] TOM527: well, in a nutshell, you need to download the windows xp drivers from dell (should be an exe), and use wine to rune that [03:46] to run* that in ubuntu [03:46] and go through the install [03:46] it's one way of determining user permissions... [03:46] until it fails (it will extract a bunch of files) [03:46] I'm a regular linux advanced user, I use arch linux...however, I want to migrate the IT structure in my company from windows to linux and ubuntu is the ideal choice, with the given circumstances [03:46] then, go into the wine c: drive directory [03:46] Jordan_U, what was that command i did that unlocked my folders? please [03:46] and you should see a Dell folder there [03:46] gethoht strange, all files inside /home/james are drwxrwxrwx, is that wrong? [03:46] but, I need a bit of advice atm [03:47] from that dell folde, navigate until you find that .inf file [03:47] well that means the the folder is wide open, anyone can access them [03:47] Jordan_U, from when wine was locked last night sorry that was a bit vague. [03:47] and get the full path of that file, and run ndiswrapper -i [03:47] and it should say it installed it, and everything [03:47] from there, you should be able to get things working [03:48] one of our systems track stock and include point-of-sale software working on windows. Along with that, part of the software includes stuff like barcode generation and printing using a zebra printer... [03:48] i'm not familiar with nginx [03:48] how'd I get the barcode process done in linux/ubuntu? [03:48] TOM527: your thing is "disabled" due to a hardware lock imposed by Broadcom (only their software can properly access the firmware to unlock it) [03:48] thanks :) [03:48] whatever folder nginx is serving is most likely having permissions issues [03:48] gethoht it's just like apache, is it OK that all my folders are drwxrwxrwx ? [03:48] TOM527: (aka, ndiswrapper, will allow you to use the broadcom software with the network card, giving you access) [03:49] TOM527: you'll know it's working when FN+F2 starts working ;) === Geek is now known as Guest48793 [03:49] well normally that means that any user, even anonymous ones can create run and delete whatever they want to .... not usually a good thing [03:50] i'm guessing that nginx is serving a different directory then /home/james ... i could be totally wrong [03:50] hope that helps :D [03:50] best of luck [03:50] There is not a separate channel for ubutnu server, is there? [03:50] jessezylstra: #ubuntu-server [03:51] Thanks [03:51] as an example... if apache isn't configured to serve home directories, it will serve the /var/www/ folder ... maybe nginx needs to be configured to server home folders [03:51] i could be completely wrong... i'm just shooting from the hip here [03:52] thank-you i'll be back tomorrow [03:52] gethoht it is, one of my apps just broke permissions for no reason at all [03:52] Hello. I have a USB keyboard which does not under GRUB. Is there a way to make it work? TIA! [03:52] I have a few things running here [03:52] Hello. I have a USB keyboard which does not work under GRUB. Is there a way to make it work? TIA! [03:52] strangely, that app and every new app I make now have restrictions, while the old ones are still ok [03:53] Hey, I two commands a while ago which was able to recursively list the permissions of a directory, which I would redirect into a file, then use that file to call another command to restore the permissions. I had to install an extra package. I can't recall the name of anything, and can't find the post. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it may be that I'm thinking of? It's going to drive me mad if I don't figure it out...even if I can just ob [03:53] viously use something else to achieve the same result. [03:54] can Brasero in 10.4 burn multi session dvds? I don't get the option on the menu the manual shows [03:54] I saw two commands* [03:55] thune3: yeah it worked, I need to figure out how to repair my installation now :P [03:56] nimbiotics: maybe enable usb "legacy"/"usb1.1 legacy"/"dos mode" support in your bios [03:57] holaa [03:57] thune3> Thanks, will try that... [03:57] alguien ha instalado oracle en ubuntu? [03:59] Hi, I'm having an issue with installing Ubuntu 10.04, when I choose to install, my screen goes to an aquamarine/greenish colour [04:00] I get the same problem with installing 32bit or 64, a CD or from USB [04:00] <_genuser1> Melectric|Matt: has it been giving you lot of issues? [04:00] <_genuser1> one solution that jumps out is install older version and then upgrade from there. [04:00] <_genuser1> not sure if the artwork and all that will upgrade [04:00] ya i was going to try that next....would it be a graphics card problem? [04:01] i have a geforce 8600m but it hasn't ever given me problems before [04:01] <_genuser1> if that one also has an issue, then it might be something hardware specific that is causing problems. [04:01] <_genuser1> right, nvidia hasn't had many issues with linux. [04:02] finally got connected to chat room!!!! [04:02] should i poke around in the bios? or will that lead no where? [04:02] Does anybody know a text based browser with javascript support? I need to modify a router web config over ssh. [04:02] I dont think elinks has javascript support out of the box [04:03] Melectric|Matt: check if this helps http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/ [04:03] does ubuntu needs antivirus? [04:03] <_genuser1> Melectric|Matt: does it boot at all into the ubuntu installer? [04:03] <_genuser1> or give any indication that ubuntu installer has taken control? [04:03] it boots, but i can't see what it's doing [04:04] waan: Why not tunnel port 80 on the router's IP to localhost on port 8081 via SSH, then go to the address from your web browser? === Longhorn|XP is now known as Longhorn [04:04] skumara: no. [04:04] I can get to the first menu on the installer but past that its just green death [04:05] <_genuser1> hmmm so the installer is taking over. it should be bios thing. [04:05] <_genuser1> try the link MaRk-I posted. [04:06] nice to hear that!! [04:07] is there anyway I can find out what is slowing my internet connection? in last 30 min my connection speed was ranging from 0kb/s to 30kb/s. it supposed to be more than 100kb/s usually! [04:07] skumara: traceroute can be helpful [04:07] can anyone explain why crons are trying to send email to the account the cronjob is for, even though i've specified 'MAILTO="email@domain.com" ? [04:08] Geekman: I dont have access to port 8081 at the remote location [04:08] Geekman: is that what you mean? [04:08] ie: user 'foo' cronts try to go to *both* user@server *and* email@domain.com... [04:08] crons* [04:08] Ok I'm going to try MarK-I's link [04:09] i'll be back to let you know how things work out [04:09] thanks for your help guys [04:09] waan: No, you can create an SSH tunnel which will forward all traffic on the router's IP on whatever port (say 80 or 443) to your local machine, which you could bind to say 8081 (or any spare port) on your local machine. [04:09] ok. i need to exit now. will come back after downloading traceroute. [04:10] Then in your browser just go to localhost:whateverport and you can use the web interface from your browser. [04:10] Geekman: sounds good do I need an ssh tunneling client on my pc here? [04:10] What SSH client are you using? [04:10] Geekman: putty [04:10] Putty on Windows makes it easy, the SSH command in Linux supports tunnelling out of the box too. [04:11] Geekman: ahh cool ssh tunnels in the options [04:11] Yeah [04:11] hi all [04:12] hi [04:12] So say you ssh to server.remote.com, to gain access to the router, which is say on the remote LAN's IP of 192.168.1.1, you'd put 8081 in source port and 192.168.1.1:80 in the destination. Tick both those boxes, and in the SSH server's IP, obviously you'd put server.remote.com [04:13] I am running vino in ssh and just want to know if any other vnc server does a better job. I need to use ssh reverse portforwarding. [04:17] Geekman: is putty supposed to open a listening port on my local machine? [04:18] how do I install a driver from Nvidias site with the .run extension? [04:18] waan: As far as I know, it should all be going through SSH. That's one of the main uses of SSH tunneling. You can tunnel other traffic through SSH so it's encrypted. [04:19] Geekman: yeah that is awesome, but i'm just trying to get it working [04:19] waan: What's the settings you've put into putty? [04:19] Geekman: do I select local or remote under the destination? [04:20] Geekman: I mean obviously remove but it isnt clear what that setting is for [04:21] Geekman: ahh nevermind its working now. Thanks heaps [04:21] waan: Sorry, at work. :) Glad you got it working! [04:23] hi girls [04:24] any linux alternatives to vmware player?

[04:29] Geekman: yes, but I never used tunneling for that purpose before [04:30] waan: Ah. Yeah it's very useful, especially if you can't poke a new hole into a firewall. For some reason at university, SSH is allowed but Windows RDP is not. So I use SSH tunneling for RDP and use it that way. [04:31] sebsebseb: ? [04:32] mohanohi: are you on your own network or some public network? [04:32] success, now I need to get the video driver to work [04:32] gethoht: own [04:32] mohanohi: no not sure how to help you [04:32] I loaded the "recommended" video driver for Nvidia and it made everything seem tiny and almost seemed to change my fonts and the whole look of the desktop vs the look of the live cd - is hit snormal?

Another thing I'm trying to figure out is: I'm going to cron a little script to do this daily and put it in my ~/Ubuntu One dir and have figured out how to get the date added to the name.

[04:55] how about mount /dev/blah /home/username [04:55] _genuser1, So it is possible when and if I notice that the /home partition is getting full to make a new partition and bigger one to then copy the contents of the old home to new home one ? [04:55] <_genuser1> you can mount any device or location to any other location including /home/youruser [04:55] commander_: yes [04:56] un214, but wont few applications get crazy about it? [04:56] mneptok, I was looking at find for this, but from what I've seen it looks like it checks the date the file was last accessed which will probably be relatively continuous as it syncs with U1 server. I think. [04:56] <_genuser1> commander_: you can do that. also update the fstab so the kernel mounts your /home properly. otherwise it will put it where / is mount. [04:56] hello [04:56] <_genuser1> commander_: nothing will get crazy. because /home will remain /home.

There was a program I used when I was just using the shell, it allowed the feature to switch between multiple shells [07:25] ah crap I wish I could explain it better [07:25] MaRk-I: will do ty [07:25] * no-name- is very new to compiling from source [07:25] scar_: yw [07:25] dang what was it [07:27] Hello all [07:28] hello [07:28] MaRk-I: still got nothing :\ [07:28] am trying different combinations of noapic, nolapic, acpi=off and with forcevesa, etc [07:28] I don't know this app who's connected ? === Lethis is now known as lethias [07:29] eMyller: sorry that's all i know... and I hardly see about SIS [07:29] actually the laptop screen is broken, so i'm trying to display to a monitor [07:29] edward@edward-desktop:~/Desktop/GensForLinux$ ./configure [07:29] bash: ./configure: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory [07:29] ah it was called "screen" === mquin_ is now known as mquin [07:29] MaRk-I: no prob, thanks. i'll keep trying. [07:30] no-name-: you have to issue that command inside the folder you're compiling the software [07:30] MaRk-I: i am === jeff_ is now known as Guest38795 [07:31] when I ssh into my ubuntu desktop 10.04 I have multiple hard drives. How do I get ubuntu to mount the drives automatically? when i ssh i cant find ish on /media. Any ideas? === mikey is now known as Guest12844 [07:33] spartan, are they usb drives [07:34] no-name-: is that ^M carriage-return (possibly on the first line of the ./configure script) causing a problem? [07:35] nope internal [07:35] well 3 internal 1 usb [07:35] internal are sata [07:35] . === eric is now known as Guest59189 [07:36] thune3: no idea [07:36] a [07:36] no-name-: can you pastebin the configure script? === chazz is now known as Guest49509 [07:37] thune3: ok [07:37] hi [07:37] any one there [07:37] spartan07, when your on the desktop, do they show up mounted in nautilus, or is this both on the desktop and when being ssh'd into [07:37] thune3: http://pastebin.com/qhVYSEz2 [07:38] thune3: not sure why that came up as double lined [07:38] i have few .dep packages in my cd and i wanna install them how do i do that [07:38] tech2077, desktop as well. I need to go to places click on drive and then put in my password to access the drive. [07:39] no-name-: if there is a space on the first line between #! and /bin/sh, i think it needs to be removed. [07:39] im all for security but it kinda sucks when i try connect through ssh [07:39] spartan07, I had this on my first install, i think that it has to do when mounting drives in general [07:39] let me see if there is a fix [07:40] thune3: removed the space. same error [07:40] ive had this issue with fresh installs from 8.1 to now i think gutsy did it as well (1st ubuntu distro!) [07:40] ghhhhhhhhhj [07:41] no-name-: then the error might be because each line is terminated with CR and then NEWLINE. (which is why the double space in pastebin) [07:41] spartan07, it's because the internal drives are mounting to /mnt [07:41] they need su permissions to mount there [07:41] thune3: ok. what do i do to fix that? [07:41] since it is considered a system change: [07:41] when i put in my password I can find them on /media [07:41] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [07:42] hmm [07:42] let me check again [07:42] just checked they are on /media [07:42] ok [07:42] is the usb drive affected too [07:42] yep there is nothing in /mnt [07:43] ok [07:43] it affects all drives other than the one the OS is on [07:44] help [07:44] i want to install .deb packages from my cd [07:45] run this command: 'sudo fdisk -l' [07:45] and report what your drives are listed as [07:45] vikas: just do sudo apt-get install nameofpackage [07:46] I'm having some difficulty with Ubuntu Software Center, it asks for authorization, you enter the password press authorize, removes the password entry area, leaving the window there. You can press the authorize button again but still nothing happens. Any ideas how to fix this? [07:47] no-name-: do you have a link to the original package that has the configure file. I need to test a command before recommending it. [07:47] thune3: yea sure [07:47] i'll just find [07:47] what's the diff between open box themes and fluxbox themes? [07:47] MaRk-I, i have on my cd in some folder [07:47] vikas, open the cd in your file manager and open the deb files [07:48] thune3: http://www.gens.me/downloads.shtml ----> Gens 2.14 Source [07:48] gdebi should run === martijn_ is now known as martijnm [07:48] vikas: then just copy the packages from the cd to your home folder and double click them, or in terminal do sudo dpkg -i nameof.deb [07:48] no-name-: an easier option might be to add a line at the top #!/bin/sh, and then remove the original one below it. But i'll test commands [07:48] ok [07:50] tech2077, main=sda1 | usb = sdb1 | internal = sdc1 | internal=sdd1 | internal = sdf1 | usb =sdg1 [07:50] ok [07:50] i found this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [07:50] it says a solutions is to install gnome-mount [07:50] are there issues because the internals are 1ter and above? [07:50] thune3: #!/bin/sh, or #!/bin/sh ? [07:51] and add it to startup applications, spartan07 thats normal [07:51] tech2077, is this supposed to be fixed or is it something coming? [07:52] spartan07, i think it's a just supposed to be like that [07:52] has anyone used a 4 dimentional array? [07:52] its* [07:52] i have [07:52] what group must I be in to mount external hard drives? [07:52] tech can i ask you a question really quick [07:52] yes [07:53] I've been having trouble with my external hss [07:53] hdd* [07:53] ill send it via PM [07:53] tech2077, ok [07:53] can I have one separate home partition and have two different distros use the same home partition for /home? [07:53] I have to sudo to mount it [07:53] The_Journey: yes [07:53] shazbotmcnasty: what if it keeps giving me the error: cannot eneter home directory, using /. [07:54] I don't know [07:54] shazbotmcnasty, its supposed to be like that [07:54] I just know you can do that [07:54] hello... in both ubuntu and crunchbang lite, when I open firefox, the system crashes beyond ctrl+alt+f1 switching to a vt... it doesn't happen in the livecd environment, only the install... it's a really old pc [07:54] tech2077: since when [07:54] tech2077, E: Package gnome-mount has no installation candidate [07:54] qe2e: crunchbang isn't supported in here, but your ram is probably seated wrong [07:54] oh [07:54] vt [07:55] uhm nvm ram is fune [07:55] spartan07, look in synaptoc [07:55] shazbotmcnasty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:55] fine [07:55] it's a virtual package [07:55] help. I installed ubuntu, on a seperate drive on my win7 desktop. now I can't boot back into windows to convert it to a VM to use within ubuntu. I though normally grub got installed or something, but I get presented with no options at boot, just goes straight into ubuntu [07:55] uhmmmm, is it only firefox? Or is it any resource intensive package? [07:55] software-center stalls on authorization and doesn't authenticate, i've reinstalled aptdaemon but the system still hangs on authorization, any ideas what might be causing this? [07:55] noisewaterphd: try running this "sudo update-grub" [07:56] tech2077, no go [07:56] will do, thanks, then reboot? [07:56] yes [07:57] How do I give myself permission so I don't have to sudo every time I want to mount my external HDD? [07:57] thune3: any luck with that command? [07:57] tech2077, well if its supposed to be that way then I know my ubuntu install is not messed up. so the way to go is to find a package to mount at startup right? [07:57] yes [07:57] look at the page i posted [07:58] Can I run knoppix from a USB stick? Probably yes? I'd need to fsck my disk. Its busted, I/O errors all the time, and my machine is slower than EVER. HOWEVER - can fsck fix my disk, or is it just for checking for errors???? [07:58] agentti7: yes. [07:58] this is not #knoppix [07:58] I know [07:58] agentti7: get a program called unetbootin [07:58] tech2077, im reading. there are other packages I can use. My biggest issue was i thought it was broken but its not. thank you for you time !!!! [07:58] its for windows and linux [07:58] I have ubuntu, but the disk is giving me the ... [07:58] no-name-: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/052 [07:58] *your [07:59] agentti7: okay, but that is a knoppix related question [07:59] I can run ubuntu and ask about windows [07:59] and that's off topic [07:59] cheers, geirha [07:59] spartan07, your welcome [07:59] you're* haha [07:59] sorry [07:59] I had to [08:00] problem installing ubuntu 9.04 [08:00] shazbotmcnasty: Ok, mr smartpants, tell me how to fsck my main (only) disk that ubuntu is on, without using a USB stick (as i do not have cd/dvd drive)??? :D [08:01] what is it jagadish? [08:01] agentti7: you could put ubuntu on the usb stick... [08:01] lol [08:01] what can i do here [08:01] the installation screen freezes.. when i select try ubuntu with out installing [08:01] shazbotmcnasty: oh you're so funny that I'm almost dying here. DYING. [08:02] :) [08:02] I don't see what you're thinking is funny by the way. [08:02] shazbotmcnasty: me neither [08:02] no-name-: geirha has it. "dos2unix" if you want that is available in package 'tofrodos', though the others will work. [08:02] no luck, still boots straight to ubuntu, no grub selection screen or anything [08:02] I would LOVE to know how to give myself permission to mount hard drives without sudo. [08:03] agentti7: the question you had was you wanted to put knoppix on a usb drive right? [08:03] and run it live? [08:03] why can't you do that with ubuntu [08:03] or maybe gparted live [08:03] thank you very much thune3 and geirha :) [08:03] since you're having hdd trouble, I would use gparted live... [08:03] scarface94 i'm using a nvidia 6200a graphic card [08:03] noisewaterphd: what ubuntu are you using [08:03] 10.04? [08:04] 10.04 [08:04] just installed a few days ago [08:04] and what's the problem? [08:04] I installed ubuntu on a second drive of my win 7 desktop, but i have no option to boot back into windows [08:05] scarface94: the disc boots and when i select Try Ubuntu without Installing it just freezes after a couple of minutes [08:05] I prefer nix, but i need to boot into widows to convert win to a vm for use in ubuntu [08:05] noisewaterphd: open a terminal, and type this 'sudo gedit /etc/default/grub/' [08:05] without quotes [08:06] when you do that, tell me [08:06] kk [08:06] thnks [08:06] noisewaterphd, if it is not autodetected by grub-update, you have to write the boot entry yourself [08:06] give me one sec [08:06] robbe: he doesn't have a menu [08:06] Hi :D [08:07] shazbotmcnasty, so it is detected, but 'hiddentimeout'? or 'timeout 0' ? [08:07] maybe [08:07] I don't know if it's detected or not [08:07] shazbotmcnasty: well whatever that gives me fsck... But I am afraid that the broken part of the disk is just where there are some critical system files. On that case, I can only re-install ubuntu to fix it, or what? [08:07] since he doesn't have a menu [08:07] he has to change that [08:07] *In that [08:07] [sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg] [08:07] wait agentti7, if your drive is broken in a part, then your drive is broken [08:07] How do I copy or drop something into Terminal without the ' [08:08] Sego: what [08:08] sed 's/^M$//' dosfile doesn't work :( [08:08] Rainatu: copy the command without the ' [08:08] also i installed that package [08:08] Hi [08:08] then paste with right click or ctrl+shift+v [08:08] no-name-: dos2unix filename [08:08] but $ dos2unix [08:08] dos2unix: command not found [08:08] scarface94: the disc boots and when i select Try Ubuntu without Installing it just freezes after a couple of minutes [08:08] hi mrad [08:09] no-name-: sudo apt-get install d0s2unix [08:09] !info dos2unix [08:09] Package dos2unix does not exist in lucid [08:09] i have an error 5 when i try to install ubuntu on vm [08:09] noisewaterphd: what's taking you so long [08:09] E: Couldn't find package dos2unix [08:09] I'm on ubuntu, and when I hit Alt+F2 it switches from X to tty2, also, if I leave it alone for a half hour, the screen blanks and when I move the mouse, I get tty1, _with_ the X mouse cursor floating on top of it!

[08:39] !recover | SuspectZero [08:39] SuspectZero: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [08:39] hihihi100, you need to build it, or you need to run it [08:39] hihihi100: memtest only working correctly if using a live-cd [08:39] ty iceberg [08:39] build it [08:39] errr [08:39] ty iceroot [08:40] ok [08:40] hihihi100, have you extracted the tarball [08:40] iceroot: It doesn't need to be a LiveCD, it can be run from the grub menu just fine. [08:40] no, not even that,m just downloaded [08:40] ok [08:40] extract the file [08:41] Jordan_U: yes (its the same, memtest cant be run within a booted linux) [08:41] hihihi100: You don't need to mess with the tarball, memory testing utilities are shipped with Ubuntu by default. [08:41] ubuntu is a pile of horse shit [08:41] haha [08:41] Jordan_U, i was wondering the same [08:41] Zenac: you have a supporet question or only a bad day? [08:41] both [08:41] why does ubuntu looks like OSX now? [08:41] Zenac: again, you have a support question? [08:42] that was a question [08:42] is the ubuntu team trying to make a free os x clone or something [08:42] Zenac, an offtopic one [08:42] Zenac, no, mac osx looks like ubuntu [08:42] Zenac: #ubuntu-offtopic come here if you have a SUPPORT question [08:42] Zenac you still going.... whats wrong you ubuntu will kill linux? or you just a knobba? [08:42] jordan, so u r saying that if I reboot and hold shift, I will see a menu with an option to make a memory test? [08:42] iceroot: Actually when used from a booted linux there are some bits of memory that can't be tested (read only parts of the kernel), so to be completely thorough you need to boot memtest on its own. [08:42] ubuntu wont do anything but bring in retards [08:42] hihihi100, it's in the menu [08:42] hihihi100: Yes. [08:42] Zenac youd better go then.... [08:42] Jordan_U: correct, thats what i am saying [08:43] well, im gonna try that [08:43] Zenac, please stop [08:43] someone kick zenac [08:43] im still waiting on an answer [08:43] how is that a support question [08:43] i want to know why ubuntu looks like os x [08:43] not a * [08:43] Zenac: stop that trolling now [08:43] Zenac, and again its offtopic.

Do you know what I mean? [08:47] alright, so I have the SB750 fakeraid. I added the 1036 offset the pdc.h and compiled it? it still didnt see my raid! anyhelp?

[08:48] sb750sux, not sure on this end , however... if no one has an answer at this time you may want to try ##linux channel I believe they have a broader info base [08:49] hopefully since noisewaterdude aint back, that means it worked :) [08:49] hi [08:50] coz_, TY might check it out [08:50] where is grub menu.lst now a days?

[09:43] ohh yeah lol [09:44] geirha: Dang, unmounted my USB enclosure drives, exited gparted, ran gparted, now it's taking forever to come up. [09:44] geirha: Ah, there it goes. [09:44] i think it has nothing to do with files larger than 4 gb, BlaDe^ .... [09:44] BlaDe^: The block size is set by the bs= parameter, I believe it's 512 bytes by default. [09:44] Oer, no there is a limit to fat32 - I have the same issue with storing wii games on my NAS drive [09:45] geirha: Nope, still won't let me do any of the partition/etc operations. [09:45] opij: not screensaver user [09:45] ah okay so I want (4*1024*1024)/512 Jordan_U ? [09:45] opij: but screen saver stiil in login page [09:45] please, help me. [09:45] any fat32 will get stuck over files greater than 4 gb, but help yourself. [09:45] default blocksize is 1b -- would it be faster to set it higher ?

[09:52] bullgard4: Any idea how the setuid bit became unset? [09:53] bullgard4: It's easy to fix, but might indicate other serious problems. [09:53] cipher_: Ugh, I've been here before... [09:54] :O [09:54] cipher_: It looks like one of your packages failed to install. [09:54] Jordan_U: May be: Using mc, I did 'chgrp -hR devel /usr/src'. [09:54] yeah, the power cord was ripped out by accident [09:55] hey people - how do i run something from root's crontab as another user? In freebsd I can do * * * * * username command, but not in ubuntu it seems! [09:55] cipher_: Maybe try sudo aptitude -reinstall on the package. [09:55] fishsponge: use /etc/cron.d [09:55] k [09:55] cipher_: the power cord thing is actually good news, since the alternative is that you got wedged in some dependency conflict. [09:55] Hey guys :) i installed ubuntu onto my vista with the default 17gb size, now it says i have not much room remaining, how do i increase the size of the ubuntu disk ? [09:55] cipher_: I've sorted those out in the past, but only with help. [09:55] hmm... is there no way to put it into crontab -e? [09:55] fishsponge: or users crontab [09:55] reason being we have all our commands in crontab -e atm [09:55] puff: thanks will brb [09:56] Hi :) [09:56] cipher_: You might have to apt-get remove, apt-get install. Or possibly (not sure) apt-get purge. [09:56] trouble with /etc/cron.d and the user's crontab is that our other IT guys will never be able to find the script - we have a standard place for cronjobs - "crontab -e" as root [09:56] no other way? [09:56] cipher_: apt-get remove doesn't remove any config files that the installer set up in /etc, apt-get purge clears those out. [09:56] I accidently set an wrong $PATH, how do I fix it? (I used the export command) [09:56] so far so good puff [09:56] bullgard4: You have to be very carefull when running commands as root, especially when they're recursive. An extra space or two in the wrong place could have changed that command to modify all files in /, which could be very hard to reverse. [09:57] ohh god [09:57] cipher_: Er, actually I recommend using aptitude instead of apt-get. Apt-get has some oddities about its syntax, aptitude tries to be apt-get flavored, but easier to use.

[11:21] is this a known bug? [11:21] does amd64 dist working in a intel quad 4 processor? [11:21] yes it does [11:21] ok ok thanks [11:21] np [11:21] I guess its better than a 32? [11:21] Jordan_U: There is no "root shell" menu item. Rather, available are: resume, clean, dpkg, failesafeX, grub and netroot. [11:22] bullgard5: netroot [11:24] anyone knows if there's a kernel parameter to specify ISO location in ubuntu server 10.04 installer? [11:24] Jordan_U: This asks me for my "root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue)". I have not issued any root password on this computer. How to proceed? [11:25] I haüen't read the rest but by default, [11:25] Hi, I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook. I want to log in to a wireless network, but I do not want any personal details such as my computer anem or login name to be revealed, are there any apps to make this procedure anonymous or can someone explain to me how to manually change tohose and other revelaing variables [11:25] Ubuntu puts the same password as your user account [11:25] as the root password [11:26] bullgard5: It shouldn't normally do that, though the permissions problem may have screwed this up. You probably need to boot a LiveCD, fix the permissions of sudo, then reboot normally and re-install the other packages to fix everything else. === fred_ is now known as Guest56684 [11:27] wiehan: your login name wouldn't be revealed, your hostname can be changed in /etc/hostname [11:27] violinappren: what is the safestr way of chaning that then, I have read that there is a risk of "sudo not working anymore.." type of complications if not done properly [11:28] !hostname | wiehan [11:28] wiehan: 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. [11:28] wiehan: change it in /etc/hostname and immediately restart [11:28] hi. urgent: how can I dump my current xorg conf into a file, and then change something in 9.10 ? [11:28] sobersabre: Xorg -configure [11:29] thanks!! [11:30] violinappren: so If I type (sudo) hostname newhostname - it is temporary and I do not have to change /etc/hosts and also do not have to restart for this to take effect? I just want to make sure I have this clear - I really do not want to break anything [11:31] Would anyone know why I have duplicate SMB shares under 'places, but I cannot mount the duplicates? [11:31] wiehan i was under the impression i was temporary [11:31] it* [11:31] wiehan: Temporarily, yes. When you restart, it should be back to original hostname. [11:31] wiehan: here's the whole thing: sudo nano /etc/hostname (and change it), sudo nano /etc/hosts (and change it), sudo reboot [11:31] mikebeecham, have a look in /var/lib/samba/usershares [11:32] mikebeecham, maybe you created the duplicates ? [11:32] wiehan: that will make it permanent [11:32] airtonix: the folder is empty [11:32] violinappren: I just want it to be temporary. And I want to know that if I do type sudo hostanem newhostname that I still have to change /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname as you suggested or is it not necessary? [11:32] mikebeecham, so i assume you either manually edited /etc/samba/blah.conf or used shares-admin [11:33] airtonix: fstab [11:33] I added the entries into fstab [11:33] mikebeecham, thats why you have duplicates [11:33] airtonix: oh [11:33] mikebeecham, you're seeing the ones from fstab and the ones being announced [11:33] wiehan: why would you want it to be temporary? i'm not exactly sure if this is safe to keep while using X applications [11:33] wiehan: "sudo: unable to resolve host loli" -- That occurs when you changed the hostname temporarily. [11:33] but if I remove the entries from fstab, then there are shares visible at all [11:33] * Psy is back from buying a £170 sound card just to get ubuntu running :( lol [11:34] no shares visible** [11:34] hi [11:34] airtonix: the ones from fstab can be mounted, the others cannot [11:34] can someone help me with Kubuntu networking here? [11:34] !help | robin___ [11:34] robin___: 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. :-) [11:34] Yep, what do you need? [11:34] hello [11:34] Jordan_U: "300 MB of 399 MB of archives need to be downloaded". This process is continuing. [11:35] ok - thanks...my first time here! [11:35] mikebeecham, i assume you have a specific reason why you are using fstab to present samba shares ? [11:35] issue is thaat networking stops working on two of my laptops after the lapyop has gone into sleep mode [11:35] airtonix: Automagically, I guess. [11:35] airtonix: iirc, it was when I first migrated over from a windows environment, and someone on here suggested and helped me through the process to get me access to my music folder on my Mac downstairs [11:36] airtonix: would there be a simpler way? [11:36] service network-manager restart fixes it everytime [11:36] mikebeecham, i find that using the bonjour address of the machines to access it is easier [11:36] can some please tell me how to make a shortcut to "Processes" in the System Monitor something like Win Ctrl Alt Del? [11:36] airtonix: the watchmacallit? [11:36] hello [11:37] airtonix: my mac has a manual IP address [11:37] yo [11:37] mikebeecham, doesnt matter [11:37] which I can access from upstairs on Linux [11:37] what is the best console web browser? [11:37] mikebeecham, bonjour is a distributed hostname system [11:37] airtonix: *thinks this is about to get a whole lot more complicated* :D [11:37] somethinginteres: Keyboard Shortcuts in Preferences? [11:38] magicianlord: try "links" [11:38] mikebeecham, its really not [11:38] ok money [11:38] mikebeecham, whats the name of the machine you access to get the shares ? [11:38] thanks [11:38] i go by the ipaddress that it set it [11:38] mikebeecham, but when you installed it you were asked to give it a hostname [11:38] mikebeecham: What is the hostname you gave to your MAC? [11:38] if I go to 'network' then it's listed as "Mike Beecham's Mac Mini [11:38] just installed 10.04 ok..but Kpackagemanagment now doesnt show any software catagories...any ideas why? [11:39] mikebeecham, and can you access the shares from there ? [11:39] airtonix: yes [11:39] mikebeecham, but i assume that doesn't help the reason why you started using fstab then ? [11:39] red2kic: what would I enter in the "Command" field? [11:40] robin___: try to "reload" the cache [11:40] somethinginteres: gnome-system-monitor [11:40] Compiz bug or bad configuration? Screen gets dark for a moment (desktop and windows remain visible, but it gets very dark) while switching between workspaces (cube as well as wall) [11:40] airtonix: I think the reason I started using fstab, was because I was trying to get either RB or Banshee to 'see' the shares, so that it could import my music [11:40] someone told me fstab was the only way back then to keep it mounted [11:40] mikebeecham, i see. [11:41] to be fair airtonix this has been an issue for about a year, but I've dont nothing about it...it was not always like this. [11:41] it happened since Karmic [11:41] mikebeecham, a little trick : if you view the share in nautilus with the location smb://name or ip address of your machine/sharename [11:41] mikebeecham, then confirm you have it mounted [11:42] voilinappren : thanks...have tried this but no luck. 'Software Updates' works ok, but 'Software Management' screen always empty (v9.04 was ok) [11:42] mikebeecham, you can then have other programs that dont view smb:// by making them look in ~/.gvfs/ [11:42] any idea about my problem with compiz? Screen gets dark for a moment (desktop and windows remain visible, but it gets very dark) while switching between workspaces [11:42] red2kic: thanks so much! That's been an issue since the switch :) [11:42] ok, when I type smb://xx.xx.xx.xxx/albums/ [11:42] robin___: try asking in #kubuntu [11:42] it's mounted [11:42] mikebeecham, nautilus uses Gnome Virtual File System to mount all kinds of things... and puts links to those things in that folder for yo [11:43] ok - thank [11:43] airtonix: you mentioned gvfs....that is installed also. I think hails back to pre karmic days also [11:43] somethinginteres: No problem. You could "ALT+F2" and type in gnome-system-monitor too. :) [11:43] mikebeecham, it should be installed by default. [11:43] airtonix: ok === robin is now known as Guest27925 [11:44] mikebeecham, same as bonjour (which allows you to use hostnames of other machines on your lan without adding them to your /etc/hosts file) [11:44] hi [11:44] mikebeecham, but on linux its not called bonjour... its known as avahi [11:44] mikebeecham, same thing different project to talk the same protocol [11:44] airtonix: ok..sounds fair. I guess what I need to ascertain is what is 'displaying' the non-mountable duplicates then? [11:44] airtonix: sure [11:45] mikebeecham, well, my thought is that the mac is announcing its samba shares via bonjour too [11:45] airtonix: one thing that might shed light...which has only just occured to me, is that when I go to network, my mac is listed 3 times [11:45] mikebeecham, bonjour hostnames are just the normal hostname plus ".local" at the end [11:45] two of them I can just doubleclick and see my shares, the other requests login details [11:46] !info avahi [11:46] Package avahi does not exist in lucid [11:46] mikebeecham, do you also have ssh server isntalled on your mac ? [11:46] !info avahi-daemon | magicianlord [11:46] magicianlord: avahi-daemon (source: avahi): Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD daemon. In component main, is optional. Version 0.6.25-1ubuntu6 (lucid), package size 58 kB, installed size 380 kB [11:46] airtonix: yes [11:46] mikebeecham, if im right then its also announcing the ssh server [11:46] i did a lot of experiementing a while ago...someone suggested ssh === TREllis_ is now known as TREllis [11:47] ok...then if I'm not using ssh...how would I go about disabling ssh on the mac [11:47] I guess I would know if I'm using it [11:47] i wish it would actually say what it doest [11:47] does [11:47] ...which I dont [11:47] mikebeecham, i think macosx by default will auto create a bonjour service file for each server you install if bonjour announcements are turned on [11:47] mikebeecham, im not entirely sure but on linux bonjour service files are in /etx/avahi/services/*.service [11:47] etc* [11:47] nevef mind. i infoed it [11:48] is ubuntu trying to clone mac osx starting with lucid? [11:48] hmmm [11:48] airtonix: so you think the duplicates are the SSH commands from the mac? [11:49] mikebeecham, well i have my desktop doing something similar, it announces : ssh server, smb server and apple file share server, (but i changed the service files so the label tells me what each one does) [11:49] can you suggest me a file manager please? I tried Dolphin, PCman, Thunar, Konqueror, Nautilus and no one has all I need. The things that missing to me are: "a reliable an precise find function based on beagle", "folder size column" and "Samba shares support" [11:49] airtonix: however, where I'm confused is that if I type "sudo umount -a", then ALL shares disappear from 'places'...if I then remount, then all come back...so surely it has something to do with samba? [11:49] mikebeecham, i would ask in an apple irc channel about turing off bonjour announcements for a certain service [11:50] magicianlord: You think Toyota are trying to clone Honda? Four wheels. :( [11:50] FabParma: thunar [11:50] mikebeecham, yeah "places" will only show current mounts [11:50] red2kic: that's different [11:50] airtonix: which cannot be the case...as when I click on a duplicate within places it tell me that it cannot be mounted [11:51] mikebeecham, its my assumption that the ones remaining are the bonjour announcements [11:51] ok...I'll see how I can sort that out airtonix [11:51] thanks for your help...I may be back :D [11:51] why is it that .opera folder is still in my home directory folder, after uninstalling it? [11:52] isthere another package beside byobu that monitors system [11:52] those folders stay there. delete them. [11:52] ok [11:52] ljsoftnet: that gets on my nerves too [11:53] ljsoftnet, did you use apt-get purge ? [11:53] purge doesnt get rid of it [11:53] ljsoftnet: Your home directory is where all of your personal files + personal configuration files are usually kept. [11:53] (which i think only gets rid of system conf files not stuff in your home folder) [11:53] airtonix: one final thing...any thoughts as to why my mac will be listed under network, 3 times? [11:53] oh ok that is good to know [11:54] there should be a clean-up app [11:54] 1 says MAC0016CBB0A96C, and the other two show "Mike Beecham's Mac Mini" [11:54] mikebeecham, bonjour. i think you need to investigate the service files for your bonjour daemon [11:54] ok mate [11:55] which ext fs should i use with my usb hdd? (it's 1.5TB i will make a partition of 500gb) [11:55] airtonix: no i didn't [11:55] mikebeecham, what i thinks happening is that the lables in the service files for each service on the mac mini has not been customised [11:55] hi === Max is now known as Guest11871 [11:56] How do you completely uninstall and reinstall an application? [11:56] which ext fs should i use with my usb hdd? (it's 1.5TB i will make a partition of 500gb) i will passively store some large multi media files [11:56] mysql-server doesn't seem to be recreating the /etc/mysql directory [11:57] seryl, try using dpkg-reconfigure [11:57] Jordan_U: I downloaded 297 MB packages. How should I proceed? [11:57] seryl, but investigate that first before doing so [11:57] airtonix: still no folder :( [11:57] bullgard5: Are you saying that not all of them downloaded? [11:57] I'm after a program in Ubuntu that can do special effects.. that has the goal of being like Adobe After Effects but doesn't have to be there yet.. any idea if that exists? === jan is now known as JanJacobs [11:58] Jordan_U: Yes. For example mplayer. [11:58] bullgard5: Why did they fail to download? [11:59] Jordan_U: "404 Not Found". [11:59] p0lyc4rbonate: ext4 [12:01] bullgard5: Was it trying to download from a third party repo / ppa? [12:03] when you install wicd with wicd-daemon, and the next time you start up, you dont go into x windows, are they shutdown timing settings power management settings still being enforced while the system is in console mode?

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [12:07] Jordan_U: I consider the mplayer a minor issue which I can solve myself later alone. -- I would like to get your advice how to proceed now. (I am root in recovery mode.) [12:07] hi there i on a Nike+ kit and i need to upload my runs to the nike+ web site in side ubuntu do any one how ? [12:07] hi there i on a Nike+ kit and i need to upload my runs to the nike+ web site in side ubuntu do any one now how ? [12:07] Aogo: you already asked before in less than 5 minutes, if anyone knows they will help [12:08] don't flood the channel [12:08] bullgard5: Depending on how many packages wouldn't download, the easiest option is probably to save the list of packages and remove those that couldn't be downloaded, then re-run apt-get install --reinstall with the revised list [12:08] okej :) come one sports programmers help me :) :) :) [12:09] Jordan_U: Ubuntu suggested: "May be you try »--fix-missing«" But I do not know what that is. [12:09] bullgard5: Or, if they really aren't needed at all just remove those packages. [12:09] Printer doesn't work any more under Ubuntu 10.04 (but still does under Debian and under Windows) after a year of working; when sending a document, it gives some reaction (printer heads moving) but no printing; printer icon shows message "Printer 'PSC-750' is possibly not connected"; document stays in "waiting list". Any idea what could be happening? [12:09] Aogo: you may have more luck on Nike's forums (if any) [12:10] i well .. thanks for Nada :) [12:11] Jordan_U: I should like to disregard the few packages that have not been downloaded for the moment and treat them later. How should I proceed with this in mind now? [12:11] so firefox, epiphany, and seamonkey crash the computer pretty hard. Distro is xubuntu, crunchbang lite... It's an old pc and I know its something wrong with the hardware [12:11] but how can I figure it out and resolve it? [12:12] bullgard5: Can you just apt-get remove them? Can you give the full error so I have an idea of which packages are missing? [12:12] !mint | qe2e [12:12] qe2e: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

(I don't mind staying up later if it's important to you) [12:15] anyone had any luck with spotifys new native linuxclient? [12:16] apparently wrong version of gconf2 [12:17] Jordan_U: My last question: Disregarding the few packages that have not been downloaded, how to proceed now? (I am root in the recovery mode.) [12:20] bullgard5: I don't know how to just disregard those packages and only re-install those that can be downloaded. The closest I can think of now is to save the list of packages: directories="/some/directory /some/other/directory/"; dpkg -S $directories | sed 's/,//g' | sed 's#: .*$##g' > packages.txt [12:21] Jordan_U: When having done so, how to proceed? [12:21] bullgard5: Then edit packages.txt to remove the packages that can't be downloaded and run "apt-get install --reinstall $(cat packages.txt) [12:22] Not able to play sound in Ubuntu 10.04 in my compaq presario b1900 [12:22] Jordan_U: I will do so.

Came back up to the linux machine and now only have two macs shown in Network...and YES, one is a .local address [12:25] so I guess you were right about bonjour being to blame for some of it at least [12:26] however, disabling bonjour seems to be a little difficult and come with it's inherant risks [12:26] mikebeecham, "to blame" is a bit strong [12:26] airtonix: ahhhh it's all about the blame culture with me :D [12:26] mikebeecham, avahi / bonjour are really useful [12:26] :) [12:26] hello, how do I select which font my gui uses, especially to render chinee characters [12:26] chinese* [12:27] what I have done [12:27] is come back upstairs and unounted my shares "sudo umount -a" [12:27] Any Help, how to play sound on my Compaq Presario B1900. [12:27] mikebeecham, for example i have about 20 computers in a place i do website training and bonjour removes the need for me to run a dns server or manually update 20 host files with names [12:27] now, the ones that I can mount are no longer there, but the duplicates remain in the 'places' list...although I cant do anything with them [12:27] 谁可以给我帮助？？ [12:27] !cn | ak5 [12:27] ak5: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [12:28] !sound | Pranky [12:28] Pranky: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[12:28] thanks, that what I was looking for [12:28] so would that be a bonjour thing...that I can still see the duplicates [12:28] mikebeecham, next thing to do is see if you can install some extra avahi tools on ubuntu. one of them lets you examine in detail any avahi/bonjour services on your lan [12:28] thanks to all, I have found solution on ubuntuforums :-) === martijn_ is now known as martijnm [12:29] synaptic has avahi gtk tools [12:29] would that be a good place to start? [12:30] gtk utilities, rather [12:30] mikebeecham, to be honest with you i've never bothered to mount smb via fstabm but im certain there is something missing in the bonjour setup that needs completing. (possibly the avahi handlers in nautilus are misconfigured) [12:30] airtonix: crumbs...that sounds dangerous!! [12:30] My settings are proper. [12:31] I can see a amplified swinging [12:31] hi eveybody! [12:31] mikebeecham, see if you can install : avahi-discover [12:31] Pranky: what is your soundcard? [12:31] mikebeecham, or try runnign that command first [12:32] i use ubuntu 10.04. i have did [12:33] airtonix: I'm looking at ahavi discovery now [12:33] Pranky: if you dont know you can execute this command in terminal: lspci | grep audio [12:33] I have a load of entries [12:33] i'm fed up with that gnome-keyring, every time type password, it's boring how can i remove it, and if i do so what will go wrong?* [12:34] I have vmware host running centos where the ip alias works fine, but in the ubuntu guest I can't get it to work. I tried some wireshark sniffing and the packets are getting through, but the ubuntu vm is not responding to them. Any ideas? [12:34] the problem is that i forgot the password which makes it worse [12:34] Realtek ALC260 [12:34] Conexant ID 2bfa [12:34] mikebeecham, click on each of them and find the ones that talk about your mac and the ssh, smb protocol [12:34] i use ubuntu 10.04. i have wrote on "dns servers" textbox from internet settings "8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 " . so now if i use an domain adress like www.youtube.com system will look first googles dns , and if can not find this domain it will for opendns . am i right ? [12:35] milge, is google dns 8.8.8.8 ? [12:35] no one to help in my silly problem!!!! [12:35] milge: should go down the list. right milge [12:35] airtonix: ok, I have one entry that says Service Type: _smb._tcp [12:35] airtonix: yes [12:35] pyghassen: you can easially set it to a blank password. so it never asks [12:35] milge, interseting [12:35] hi guys can somone please help me ... I want to help someone install glib on ubuntu 10.04 [12:35] Dr_Willis: i dont understand [12:35] ..and that is the .local address [12:35] how can he go about it ?

[12:59] * airtonix is boggling at why someone would willingly choose ati [12:59] oops. [12:59] geirha: yeah, there's the cleanup at boot. But there has got to be another script which cleans up the tmp files (and php session files) on a regular basis [13:00] DukeDrake: Ah, maybe /etc/cron.daily/apache2 [13:01] airtonix: i was thinkign that also.. but dident want to seem mean [13:01] does exist a command to list the folder size, not the partition size === phx__ is now known as phx-- [13:02] geirha: HA! =D [13:02] geirha: that's awesom [13:03] but why are those cron jobs not listed when I run "crontab -l" ? [13:03] DukeDrake: Or maybe /etc/cron.d/php5 [13:03] Hi! So I installed a live ubuntu 10.04 on my USB. Is there any way to make it 'non-live' so I can edit settings and install programs and updates and let them be there even when I reboot? [13:03] civixier: depends on how you 'installed' it to the usb. theres ways to make a persiostant save file on them === [1]umisenken is now known as umisenken [13:04] FabParma: ls -hl ? [13:04] geirha: yes, it's the php5-job! [13:04] DukeDrake: There are several crontabs. They are run from /etc/crontab [13:04] Dr_Willis: I installed via UNetbootin. Is that good? :) [13:05] civixier you can set that up during installation [13:06] blain: In UNetbootin? I didnt see anything there, but maybe I missed it. So I should reinstall? What should I look for? [13:06] geirha: thanx a lot! [13:06] civixier: you make a 'casper' file and i think edit the syslinux.cfg and it can make a persistant save - or check out pendrivelinux.com for what may be easier ways to do it. [13:06] civixier: how large is your pendrive? [13:07] civixier: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/put-ubuntu-10-04-on-flash-drive-using-windows/ [13:07] civixier you can do it with lili not unetbootin [13:07] Dr_Willis: It's 16gb, so it shouldnt be a problem. Thanks :) [13:07] blain: lili? Im gonna look it up. Thank you! [13:08] hmm [13:08] civixier: you can do a 'normal' instsll to a flash drive also. using the normal ubuntu installer. partition the flash drive , same as you would a real hard drive. HOWEVER at the end of the installer questions you MUST tell it to put grub on the MBR of the flash drive. It will default to the hard drive. [13:08] i got hardware accelration now [13:09] Dr_Willis: No problem with drivers and stuff when I go to other computers then? === mamy801 is now known as pirates [13:09] civixier: that may or may not be an issue.. depends on the other pc's [13:10] civixier: all my pc's are using nvidia - so i can isntall the nvidia drivers and have no real issues [13:10] civixier: differnt wireless cards on different pc's can be an issue. [13:10] hey, how can i get the events from my mouse? my left button does nothing and i want to check if its the system or the mouse [13:10] xenv [13:11] Dr_Willis: So I better stick with a 'modified' live one if I am planning to use it on several different computers? [13:11] civixier: that can work. But if you do a lot of 'installing' of extra things you can fill up the casper save file real fast [13:12] fist xenv [13:12] Dr_Willis: Oh, that could be a problem. The casper file isnt expandable? [13:13] civixier: it is.. with some work. [13:13] civixier with lili you can tell how much you want for persistence [13:13] y thanks, its xev on ubuntu [13:13] fist ok sorry i knew it was something similar to taht name [13:13] eventually i imagine unetbootin will get the feature to make the persiostant file. but not seen it have that yet. [13:14] pendrivelinux.com has other tools then lili, and unetbootin also. theres perhaps 3+ other tools that do the same job [13:14] Then lili it is. Thanks Dr_Willis and blain! :D [13:14] civixier: boot the live cd. or your pendrive. and you can use the usb-creator-tool to install a live+peristant setup to a 2nd flash drive [13:14] What's happening here? Missing fonts? http://people.canonical.com/~ljones/Maverick-desktop/Maverick.jpg [13:15] I cant stand lili myself.. it has one of the worst guis ive ever seen [13:15] !maverick | lag [13:15] lag: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [13:16] lag no problem here in kde [13:17] Daekdroom?

I use ubuntu and rhythmbox player works gr8 but when i make a queue of files and ask it to repeat it just deletes the played item and when it finishes nothing remains to repeat please help .......... using lucid lynx [14:25] waan: may as well use ext4 - i doubt if it will matter much. [14:25] waan: yes but i see some people have problems with grub after updating, the thing is i have only one pc, so i would be in trouble if i reboot with a black screen [14:25] i use ubuntu 10.04. i can not use the page (the window) to go down or up automatically by the position of mouse by clicking center button. is there any way to activate this feature ?

[14:26] Spyder|Netbook, ok but i want to repeat a play list ... how to make it repeat ??? [14:26] dalton2345: make a ghost of your partitions then if anything goes wrong you can put it back [14:26] vikas: i just copy the various .deb's from /var/cache/apt as needed. [14:27] philinux: no [14:27] same way you repeated the queue, dr3mro. [14:27] sorry to interrupt, but is there a means to having as US English dictionary for Empathy chat client, instead of the UK? [14:27] so , i choose the playlist and press repreat ... but if i want to make it on the fly list .... isn't that possible ?????? [14:27] dalton2345: are you using ext3 or ext4 at the moment? [14:27] Spyder|Netbook, so , i choose the playlist and press repreat ... but if i want to make it on the fly list .... isn't that possible ?????? [14:28] I'm not sure whether I should use 64bit, or 32bit with PAE. My computer usage is general web browsing, web development using Nusphere PhpEd running under Wine, local web services (LAMP setup), some game playing, and cross compiling embedded Linux installations. Anyone have any suggestions/warnings? [14:28] i did that but it install all the debs, but if i want to install only specific debs then what to do. [14:28] Dr_Willis, [14:28] philinux: ext3 [14:28] you can delete the playlist when you are done, dr3mro [14:29] darkneo, either works gr8 ... but if you find 32bit slow use the 64bit if you have >3gb of ram [14:29] dalton2345: and is karmic running just fine? [14:29] which MTA are you using in ubuntu server? [14:29] vikas: sudo gdebi whatever.deb for whatever deb you want [14:29] any opra user here? [14:29] Dr_Willis: Yep I might just do that, I think most of the problems have been fixed now [14:29] Spyder|Netbook, miss the old windamp now .. ok i think i prefer the audacious over rhythmbox because i don't want to create playlists all day long [14:29] vikas: i rarely worry about saving the .deb. you could save them and there could be updates to many of them so your save is old and pointless. [14:29] Dr_Willis: I never had any anyway [14:29] Spyder|Netbook, thank you any way [14:30] philinux: yes extremely fine, i just need the new vlc, its only why i would upgrade, i dont know how to compile vlc [14:30] dr3mro: Are there still compatibility issues? I remember trying 64bit almost 2 years ago and could barely get anything working (I had to install loads of compatibility libs) [14:30] dalton2345: what version is vlc on in karmic [14:31] !info vlc karmic [14:31] vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.2-1ubuntu2.1 (karmic), package size 1586 kB, installed size 3808 kB [14:31] philinux: 1.1.0 [14:31] whre the MTA in ubuntu is located?

As well as a GUI for it - thanks all [14:31] dalton2345: you have 1.1 as you have the c-korn repo added [14:32] somethinginteres: espeak [14:32] Dr_Willis, i want to save because i can install them later if accidentally i damage my ubuntu and i sucessyfully did this by saving the archives and then installing them all [14:32] the c-korn repo give me only the 1.0.3 [14:32] somethinginteres: there are some gui's to festival i recall.. thats normally how linux works.. you have various front ends (guis) to backends (like festival) [14:32] somethinginteres: Hire a speaker. [14:32] darkneo, it works OK now most of things are solved already but if you wont find it neccessary to do it just use 32bit .... 64 is the future but now it is very good and works fine ... but if u have to use a certain app that only is 32b then use compitability libs or use 32b [14:32] vikas: back up the debs to some loction. i dont see this asbeing worth the effort. [14:32] i got 1.1.0 on the vlc site, but i never compiled before, am clueless about it [14:32] Gotta run. bye all [14:32] Dr_Willis: Bye! [14:33] http://www.schmi-dt.de/kmouth/index.en.html [14:33] dalton2345: yeah the c-korn only has 1.1 for lucid [14:33] Dr_Willis, that will save my time of downloading and data usage [14:33] Kmouth is GUI [14:33] thanks guts will check out espeak and Kmouth [14:33] dalton2345, use the ppa why to compile its ubuntu not LFS [14:33] how can i back up debs Dr_Willis [14:34] dr3mro: cant get the 1.1.0 version via ppa [14:34] vikas, you can backup debs by aptoncd tool [14:34] dalton2345, yes wait i ll get it [14:34] Hello!

[15:11] a0wen it's a linux version lets say [15:11] i would like to remaster an ubuntu 10.04 version, what options do i have to use ? its been a while since i did something like this, there was remastersys, and something else, but i forgot, any tips are welcome ( url ? ) [15:12] my problem is on a mac [15:12] :( [15:12] !remaster | unimatrix [15:12] SuperLag: gnome-mplayer [15:12] unimatrix: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [15:12] !remaster > unimatrix9 [15:12] unimatrix9, please see my private message [15:12] dvd / mplayer / totem [15:12] okey thanks [15:12] unimatrix: remastersys works very well. [15:12] SuperLag kaffeine [15:12] i have a livecd that is in the mac, i booted from the CD which is in a linux format. it didn't work and now i just want to boot my normal OS [15:13] a0wen: if you run: lsb_release -a what is output? use http://www.pastie.org to give the output [15:13] wow it is working now , i choosed to autodetect proxy in firefox [15:13] a0wen: remove the cd and reboot [15:13] a0wen: if you want to boot the installed OS and not the cd, just eject the cd [15:13] i can't remove the cd [15:13] it's a mac, so i need to use a keyboard button [15:13] I don't have any MTU, but I send an email using unix 'mail' with success!, is it possible if so which smtp address is being used and port? === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC [15:14] and i can't do that because every time it boots it boots from the cd now [15:14] a0wen: there is a small hole in the drive, shove a paper clip (or similar) in [15:14] l === OerHeks is now known as Oer [15:14] yup. [15:14] a0wen: have the system off [15:14] a0wen, do you want to remove cd forcefully? there is small hole near cd tray. get some pin inside it and it wll eject (my english :) ) [15:14] a0wen: http://kb.wisc.edu/helpdesk/page.php?id=6685 [15:14] a0wen: there should be a little pinhole next to the cd slot. insert a pin and reboot the computer the cd should eject [15:14] there's no hole near the cd tray [15:14] it's just the cd slot [15:14] a0wen, it is [15:15] There is. [15:15] A wee small hole [15:15] IdleOne, abhi_nav: Not on modern macs there aren't, and it's better to do it the right way anyway ;P [15:15] a0wen: what model mac do you have? [15:15] a0wen: Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared. [15:15] a0wen, very small look carefully. [15:15] abhi_nav: no, there isn't [15:15] * ActionParsnip hates macs more than anything on the earth [15:15] rww, dunno about mac :) [15:15] I like macs, from afar [15:15] rww: ok [15:15] * CkhiKuzad will refrain from asking his question until a0's problem is resolved so he doesnt interfere. [15:15] rww, whats the use of mac cd tray then? ;) [15:15] follow philinux advise === Andrew_ is now known as Guest0 [15:15] a0wen: http://guides.macrumors.com/Force_Eject_a_Stuck_CD_or_DVD [15:16] CkhiKuzad, dont wait you go ahed with your question! [15:16] Is gparted for KDE? [15:16] a0wen: Restart the computer while holding down Command-Option-O-F, to enter the Open Firmware prompt. Type "eject cd" without the quotes, and press return [15:16] let me try philinux's way [15:17] a0wen: google "mac remove cd" there are other options [15:17] someone can help me please! :( nautilus has slow down. [15:17] what sort of nonesense is this, stupid control keys at boot to eject a cd, yeah awesome design. and so obvious too. [15:17] alright. I copied the contents of an ubuntu 10.04 ISO onto a 1 gigabyte partition on my hard drive, then added an entry to boot the liveHDD, yet it will not work [15:17] ActionParsnip, :D [15:17] ActionParsnip: I note that OpenFirmware doesn't exist on Intel Macs ;P [15:17] Misterio: qtparted [15:18] crap now it is blocked again [15:18] philinux: that worked, thank you so much [15:18] rww: abhi_nav: its so crippled. dumb mac users wont even think to guess that [15:18] Hello guys , problem with gnome power manager configuration ? plz help me not able to start m/c [15:18] good [15:18] :P [15:18] a0wen: no worries eh [15:18] ActionParsnip: Actually, their highly-readable manuals explain it, last time I checked. [15:18] ActionParsnip, ohh :D [15:18] vaibhav, whats the problem [15:19] ActionParsnip: and considering that this isn't "poke fun at Mac users", you could perhaps tone it down a little? [15:19] hi, something is wrong with my harddrive. i can hear my harddrive working but i get a lot of errors during startup (.. ata1.00 DRDY ERR.., READ FAILED.. jbd: failed to read block.. ext3-fs: error loading journal) and after 15min it gives me a busybox shell (initramfs) with some commands. Is it possible to still boot up from this situation? Or is it possible to save my files with a livecd? Or is all the data gone? [15:19] s/,/channel,/ [15:19] @tech2077 m not getting my ubuntu window [15:19] black screen appers [15:19] rww: advising users to rtfm won't make you popular, why they cant have a simple eject button is beyond me [15:19] !tab | vaibhav [15:19] vaibhav: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [15:19] How do I fix windows (fixmbr) if grub is there/installed, xp recovery disk is telling me no good target to fix, possibly because of grub [15:19] vaibhav, can you elaborate [15:19] ActionParsnip: I didn't. [15:19] vaibhav: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [15:19] rww: i know ;) === seksi_kasia_123 is now known as DaZ [15:20] ubuntu: you might get somewhere from the livecd [15:20] Finnish: windows is supported in ##windows [15:20] @when I start my machine it gets boot and then gives me error that gnome-power-manager not able to start plz contact to your admin [15:20] Finnish: Section 16: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [15:20] ActionParsnip, Yeah I got that, but this is related to ubuntu/grub [15:20] Finnish: if you want to add the windows boot to grub (not fixmbr) then you are in the right channel [15:21] hehe [15:21] philinux, can you explain me how? [15:21] alright. I copied the contents of an ubuntu 10.04 ISO onto a 1 gigabyte partition on my hard drive, then added an entry to boot it, it doesnt work. if you need me to pastebin my grub configuration (grub2) then i can. [15:22] ubuntu: you need a usb stick or hard drive and use the livecd to copy any files of the bad drive [15:22] ActionParsnip: for future reference: I figured it out; LUKS partitions contain the keys, so you just needed keyformat=luks; keyfile=/dev/theencryptedpartition; dev=/dev/theencryptedpartition [15:22] CkhiKuzad: you have to boot to the live cd and then install to the HDD === ubuntu is now known as ubuntu- [15:22] lvh`: sounds like a faff, hence me ot bothering [15:23] philinux, Thanks! [15:23] IdleOne, i am not using a livecd. this is the contents of an iso copied to a small hard drive to be used as the installer [15:23] how do i know if my hdd is dead? [15:23] ActionParsnip: What's a faff? [15:23] lvh`: post it on the ubuntu forums so others can benefit :) [15:23] lvh`: lots of effort, complication, convolution [15:23] ActionParsnip: really? it actually made it trivially simple [15:24] CkhiKuzad: I see, I recall seeing a wiki page on how to do that. [15:24] (it just took me a while to figure out there was no keyfile; I've done some reading now and luks essentially does it Right) [15:24] lvh`: if the data is not messed with it is simply a case of attatching the device and it will be readable, much easier [15:24] IdleOne, i am using that page. the menu entry doesnt work. i have a feeling the person who made that entry was FoS [15:24] ActionParsnip: said data involves sensitive personal data; I have a legal obligation to protect it and a contractual obligation to encrypt it [15:25] CkhiKuzad: what page? [15:25] idleone https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux [15:25] There is no more "wacom-tools" on Lucid - does that mean the functionality fo this package has been incorporated into something else or does that mean that Ill have to download the software from the http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/ myself? === Mr_Chmod is now known as Mortiis [15:26] do i need to install a firewall or antivirus under Ubuntu LL [15:26] ubottu: virus [15:26] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [15:26] ubottu: firewall [15:26] 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. [15:26] please can someone help me about my nautilus problem. it using using %90 of my cpu.i reinstalled it but the problem still... [15:26] short answer: no, not really === lvh` is now known as lvh [15:27] bye [15:27] is there no way to migrate gnome settings from one computer to another? [15:27] Hi, how do i remove plymouth, it is stopping my server from booting correctly? If i try to remove it it wants to take a bunch of important packages (like mountall) with it [15:27] hey guys I am looking at buying a new laptop this year for my school. My budget isn't big so I was wondering if there is a way to get companies like Dell to refund money for the Windows license since I don't want to use windows anyways. Thanks [15:27] CkhiKuzad: that page is old but should still apply. what part you stuck at? [15:28] Why is linux so impregnable to attack then, [15:28] ubuntu-: from the livecd system>admin>disk utility. Looks a t the SMART dat. [15:28] Why dont viruses work [15:28] idleon well i have it all done, but adding it to grub gets me the error that i need to load the kernel first [15:28] Dasda: which country you in [15:28] philinux: Canada [15:28] MetalGeek_N00b, linux is not immune to malwares, but they're rare. [15:29] guys...would anyone know why the IRC rooms I have listed in my pidgin contact list suddently disappear? [15:29] Dasda: system76 supply with no os installed IIRC [15:29] CkhiKuzad: honestly wish I could help more, beyond my understanding sorry [15:29] Dasda: dell might too. [15:30] philinux: would I end up saving money on a system76 laptop? yea I am probably going to call Dell in a bit to see if I can get a laptop without windows fees [15:30] Daekdroom, But why, what makes it so different, or is that a bit advenced for me [15:31] Dasda: you'll have to work that one out based on comparing specs [15:31] can someone help me please. i can not go with nautilus on direcotryies which have many files. i can go but it slow down.. :( === abhi_nav_ is now known as abhi_nav [15:31] MetalGeek_N00b, what makes it so different is that it's not very common, so hackers don't bother trying to sabotage it.. [15:31] MetalGeek_N00b, but you still need a firewall [15:31] nautilus can look just 100 files in 2 seconds. if i will open 1000 files on one directory it waits 20 seconds.. :( [15:32] philinux: I think I am going to buy from Dell because I have a 25% off coupon [15:32] Daekdroom, but i thought that alot of big commercial sustems run unix and linux [15:32] MetalGeek_N00b, they do. [15:32] so wont people want to hack them [15:32] Yes, but commercial systems work on top of much more stable software. [15:33] MetalGeek_N00b: there's more money to be made in selling control of a few million windows PCs in a botnet, than compromising some big server. [15:33] so the linuk is behind other security [15:33] in a commercial setiup i mean [15:34] MetalGeek_N00b: as an architecture, Unix like systems are generally more secure by their nature [15:34] jscinoz, could you elaborate alittle please, [15:34] MetalGeek_N00b: broadly speaking, the isolation between system and user privileges common to modern unix systems makes it difficult to propagate malware, even if a single user should become infected. it is by no means impossible, of course. [15:35] MetalGeek_N00b: Unix systems have always had a well defined system of users, groups and permissions, unlike windows where these were more of an afterthought [15:35] because they wouldn't have root privileges? [15:35] to make a sys wide change [15:35] can someone help me about nautius problem. my nautilus is low down. it waits for 10-20 seconds to look inside a directory. [15:35] MetalGeek_N00b: right. [15:35] MetalGeek_N00b: it's simple, linux has windows but linux locks the windows before going out. [15:36] hello guys.. why cant i send/receive files via Pidgin from windoze user ? is there any config should i make ? [15:36] so that makes a linux enviroment good for attacking windows, but not so usefull for entering or controling other unix/linux boxes? [15:36] Does Ubuntu still use xorg.conf? I never really got what happens there. First I thought that HAL took over what xorg-conf was orginally doing - THEN HAL was meant to be replaced DeviceKit - NOW Hal is still there - xorg.conf too - and then there are options dispersed all over the place - WHAT the hell is going on?!? [15:36] so i would be safer with my ubuntu [15:36] MetalGeek_N00b: yes safer [15:37] ManDay: It is unrequired, but can still be used to override the defaults [15:37] I want to make another user that is not an administrator able to shut down the computer from the command line (using the poweroff command), but I don't want to use the graphical program users-admin because I can't allow that user to just be able to poweroff the computer in addition to their normal privileges. Would this be something that I would find in the sudoers file? I have never edited it, and am unsure of how to do so. [15:37] hey guys, for some reason i dont get sound out of my headphones, anyone have an idea why? nothing to do with volume [15:37] jscinoz, what is the preferable way to set options which in the documentation of one or another package are still said to be set in xorg.conf? [15:37] (i assume you referred to xorg.conf) [15:37] are there any glaring holes in a new ubuntu 10.04 (LL) amd64 installation that i should plug early [15:37] banisterfriend: have you tried turning up the PWM channel in alsamixer? [15:38] ManDay: i am not sure sorry, I've not looked at the file in a long time (also i dont even use ubuntu anymore) [15:38] nsd: one moment [15:38] jcrigby, actually, my xorg.conf is full of stuff - are you sure that it can be replaced? [15:38] nsd: how do i run alsamixer? [15:38] type it in a console [15:38] banisterfiend: open a terminal (applications->accessories->terminal) and type alsamixer then press enter [15:39] banisterfiend: then scroll to the right using the arrow keys until you see PWM and turn it up with the up arrow, then press the escape key to quit, then close the terminal [15:39] nsd: a line in sudoers like the following should work: username localhost=poweroff [15:39] nsd: you mean PCM? it's right up [15:39] jscinoz: thanks, I'll try that === hotfloppy2 is now known as hotfloppy [15:39] nsd: when you open that file with visudo you'll notice some examples are already in there [15:39] banisterfiend: oh, yeah it is PCM -- if that's turned up, then I don't know what else to try [15:39] nsd: one of those should show you what to do [15:39] hey .. does any one know a download manager that i can use on ubuntu with google chrome ????????????????? [15:39] jscinoz: thanks [15:40] nsd: no problem [15:40] are there any glaring holes in a new ubuntu 10.04 (LL) amd64 installation that i should plug early [15:40] So can anyone tell me how to disable plymouth? It's preventing my server from booting., [15:41] i use ubuntu 10.04 (updated). i was using it properly. even i did not do anything to system (i just using the browser) nautilus slow down. it waits 10-20 seconds and uses %90 of my cpu for looking any directory on any filesystem . :( when i open the nautilus as admin shows all parts of my hdd on network class. not on device class. please help me! :( [15:42] MetalGeek_N00b: none come to mind. ensure that you apply security updates regularly, and you shouldn't have a problem. [15:42] hey .. does any one know a download manager that i can use on ubuntu with google chrome ? [15:42] sipior, Tnx [15:42] dr3mro: http://www.chromeplugins.org/chrome/list-of-download-managers-for-google-chrome/ [15:43] does anyone here use a wacom tablet or similar in ubuntu? [15:44] sipior, i use ubuntu not windows [15:44] thanks for the help [15:44] bye [15:45] dr3mro: then i guess you'll need to learn to use google for yourself.

[15:54] my ubuntu 10.04 does not detect sound card, any suggestions ? [15:55] ManDay_: eventually it's supposed to go completely [15:55] UberN00b: check your alsa [15:55] or oss [15:55] ManDay_: you need it if you want like the special nvidia or special flglrlx driver, otherwise you're fine [15:55] ?

[15:56] for me the file is full of stuff, want a paste? [15:57] and a lot of things are still default [15:57] for example my wacom which im about to configure now [15:57] Uber I have a link that shows you how to troubleshoot sound or do you want to keep asking the bot? [15:57] I got this new Western Digital HDD that works on Win7 but on Linux it says "Unable to mount Elements. Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12: Failed to read last sector (1953523119): Invalid argument", anyone had this problem before?

[15:58] philinux, fair nuff [15:58] haha tucemiux, the bot is no fun at all so may I have the link please ? [15:58] ManDay_: people with twinview need it IIRC [15:59] philinux, yeah for example. i use it for mamy differnet purposes two - managing screens and minitors being one [15:59] and i was hoping that could all be done through something else these days [16:01] xrandr only shows both halves of the one card. [16:01] anybody here know how to speed up LimitRO, i manage to install it and can login, but the graphics are too slow? [16:01] But the Xorg.0.log shows it detecting both cards, and then deciding to use one as the primary [16:01] UberN00b, I found reloading alsa works: sudo alsa force-reload , that's if your sound used to work but then it stopped working, I would also recommend the usual physical settings: make sure connections are good, your speakers are powered, you have chosen the correct sound card if you have more than two, if all is good then follow the rest of the guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [16:01] Sbioko: unfortunately, i can't seem to find other folks describing the symptoms you see. out of curiosity, have you tried from another linux box? [16:01] sipior: thanks! [16:01] But then it doesn't work as the secondary.

Not very often though. What IS annoying is that when it shuts off (I presume) because it thinks the battery is dead [16:17] cdubya, are you getting similar? [16:18] What is actually happening when a hardware hotplugs? In my case the graphic tablet? there is no mention of it in the xorg conf, yet it works upon plugin - how can i disable that? [16:18] hmmm I do believe there are ways to recalibrate your battery, not sure exactly how though [16:18] ottermaton, yes. I have no idea how long I have left at this point and have to guess.

[16:26] Guys using the 'dd' command what's the best way to skip 4gb ? [16:27] Gordon_Gekko, so you installed the xserver-xorg-video radeonhd driver and got rid of the wavy picture , but now compiz doesn't work , you can enable compiz in system settings ( I assume yoiu're on kde) , because you were asking in #kubuntu first [16:27] should I just do skip= (1024*1024*4) or should I set the block-size higher ?

[16:30] BlueKaj, I guess the problem might be the fact that ATI dropped support for my Graphics card in the new catalyst. It is strange that it fixes the problem but disables compiz [16:30] Gordon_Gekko, compiz requires 3d support the hd driver obviously won't support it [16:31] BlueKaj, before the installation of the catalyst compiz was wokring fine [16:31] i installed a network printer here at school. when I go to file-> print something, how can I tell if this is using lpr or CUPS? if i go to settings, some of the commands are "lpr -something ..." , so can I assume its using lpr? is there any way to tell for sure?

[16:56] ottermaton__ so what are you asking?

[16:57] shane2peru: System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop Preferences [16:57] Basically I'm asking how to get it to exclude using the -C flag. If that is, in fact, the "correct" way to use it in this case [16:57] shane2peru: Ah, I see. I think you can specify the display variable (ex. 0:0) or whatever to have it launch and run remotely. [16:57] CkhiKuzad, see above [16:57] what do i do vlc is still not happy with the dvd [16:57] CkhiKuzad, I'm assuming ntfs access , on the same pc [16:57] philinux, I sign off now. thanks for the help.

[17:00] Hi [17:01] I think i found what the problem is why Xorg takes 100% cpu load, glxinfo | grep render , outputs OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer, so i do not have any hardware acceleration from the graphics card... any ideas how to fix that? should say something like, OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R200 (RV280 5C61) 20090101 x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE TCL DRI2 [17:01] 2 ljsoftnet, what is the video?

[17:03] then apt-file update [17:03] and then [17:04] once it's finished updating [17:04] hi all any help for pen tablets? i'm getting 'random zooming' in blender with a wacom tablet [17:04] apt-file search file [17:04] What commands finds out which package a file belongs to? [17:04] ottermaton__, got something else on the power management issue.....after being stuck there and not knowing, plugged in ac power and it updated the indicator. Unplugged and it did the same. So maybe the temporary workaround is to plug in and wait for a moment, then unplug and see if it updates? [17:04] i can't seem to find any docs that help [17:04] @ManDay I told you :) [17:04] unsensored, my graphics card? or the video settings of Ragnarok? [17:04] gio1983, [17:04] please read again what i asked [17:04] ljsoftnet, graphics card [17:04] sorry [17:05] i should read again [17:05] in blender zooming is from scroll mouse events, from keypad +/- and from slider events on the pen tablet [17:05] unsensored, Inno3d Geforce FX5200 [17:05] generally [17:05] @ManDay you have to install apt-file [17:05] !unp | gio1983 [17:05] gio1983, i dont think so [17:05] philinux, by playing the files directtually from the disk yes it does [17:05] ManDay: dpkg -S /path/to/file [17:05] im quite sure there is a dpkg tool which finds [17:05] thanks gnea [17:05] ljsoftnet, i think you should update your video drivers [17:05] didn't know that one [17:05] :) [17:05] !info unp [17:05] unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command.

[17:06] philinux, by playing the files directtually from the disk yes it does play sound cds [17:06] what the the linux kernel comes with wacom modules? someone say again ubuntu wasnt the bloated.... urgh [17:06] i wonder what other stuff i have on my computer [17:06] ljsoftnet, run jockey-gtk from console [17:06] ManDay: modules make the kernel non-bloated. [17:06] maybe a 2 gigabyte manga-movie manager [17:06] thanks ubuntu... [17:06] if it was bloated, it would be built into the kernel [17:06] philinux, so yeah it does [17:07] Gnea, well it ships with the kernel package [17:07] philinux, but not dvds [17:07] if you want to rebuild the kernel, feel free [17:07] ManDay, why do you suffer from small hdd syndrome ? [17:07] i searched *.orig in nautilus but it does not show results [17:07] unsensored, what is that? [17:07] but files are there [17:07] please help me find them [17:07] Editing /etc/network/interfaces to make my wireless card connect automatically to an essid causes dmesg to give this message : link not ready . any idea? [17:07] ManDay: I hardly consider 74k 'bloat' [17:08] ljsoftnet, its priopretary drivers update utilite [17:08] philinux, so what is the issue here [17:08] I have a USB hard drive and I want to put ubuntu on it, but i dont want to change the system at all. the installer will change the bootloader so that wont work. can anyone provide me with a link or something to get me going? [17:08] unsensored, running [17:08] i consider everything that as a node and a name and is not needed bloat, its the sum of things alltogether. if the kernel has a wacom driver by default i have to assume that has a million other unneeded things, too [17:08] s/as/has [17:08] Chum_Chum: is this 32 bit or 64 [17:09] philinux, matchine is 32-bit [17:09] ljsoftnet, what it says? [17:09] unsensored, i think its using the latest [17:09] so is the os [17:09] ljsoftnet, then you should go to wine forum... [17:09] unsensored, ok [17:09] ManDay: Ubuntu is a distribution that is built similarly to MS Windows - it's catored to be a catch-all distribution. It gets as efficient as it possibly can, given such wide restraints. [17:10] Gnea, awhat about leaving such utterly rare stuff OFF the users box until he/she really needs it? that way you have the same capabilities but less... bloat [17:10] ManDay: thankfully, there are hundreds of other distributions that are based on ubuntu and debian that attempt to solve the problem to which you have so eloquently described [17:10] Chum_Chum: To double check you have installed these libdvdcss2 w32codecs [17:11] lmao [17:11] Anyone know how to stay connected after a remote ssh command? I'd like be on svr2 in "tb" after: ssh me@svr1 "ssh me@svr2 'cd htdocs/tb'" [17:11] Gnea, I prefer ubuntu over those because it HAS the packages in the repos and is well maintained [17:11] ребяты дайте ссылку на русский канал:) [17:11] yet, no need to shovel stuff down peoples neck [17:11] ManDay: you can still build a base distribution and use those same repositories [17:11] !ru | antuan [17:11] antuan: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [17:11] unsensored, il just ask again, maybe someone migth know [17:11] спасибо:) [17:12] anybody know how to speed up Ragnarok Online, i manage to install it and can login, but the graphics are very slow? [17:12] ManDay: and it's not being shoveled down anyone's neck. no one's forcing you to you use Ubuntu, that's your own choice. take it, leave it or improve it. [17:12] Gnea, i would acknowledge if you gave me one /good/ reason why to put all the stuff on the users pc by default and not load it once it is first needed [17:12] (to an appropriate extend) [17:13] Hey, is there a PPA for GIMP? [17:13] ManDay: I already told you the reason in the first place. whether or not you judge it as good or not is irrelevent, because when it all boils down to it, Ubuntu is about the good of the many, not the good of the few. [17:13] Gornjak: dunno; search in the ppa main page ? [17:13] erUSUL, tried that and failed. [17:13] Gnea, you basically gave a reason for the existance of the apps - not why they should be copied to the HDD by default [17:14] ManDay: the reason transcends both. if you can't see that, that's not my problem. [17:14] Gnea, come again? [17:15] once was enough. [17:15] philinux, so what is the case then [17:15] philinux, so what do i do [17:15] Gornjak: there are a lot of hits --> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=gimp [17:15] hey, how do i burn a .dmg in ubuntu? [17:15] erUSUL, found it, the Matt Walker's one. Thanks. :) [17:16] Gnea, I can at least expect you not to resort to such pathetic IRCish way of argueing. Explain what you asserted - "If you dont get it I can't help you" is kindergarden [17:16] ManDay: ultimately, you're going to need to make a choice: are you going to continue to put up with the 'bloat', as you so put it, coming over from the installation, or will you modify the installation process to copy less stuff over? [17:16] l [17:16] !iso | n0a1ias convert it to iso first [17:16] n0a1ias convert it to iso first: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [17:16] Chum_Chum: Maybe there a solution out there. http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+wont+play+dvd%27s&hl=en&tbo=1&output=search&source=lnt&tbs=qdr:y&sa=X&ei=tuI9TMbDBsyQjAe0-cD4Aw&ved=0CAgQpwU [17:16] philinux, so what is the issue now [17:16] cdubya, I _think_ I've done that, but will check it out next time. Do you have any trouble with random shutdows? [17:16] ManDay: could you please move this convo to #ubuntu-offtopic. [17:16] ManDay: please feel free to adjust your attitude if you wish to continue this discussion. [17:16] IdleOne, sorry [17:17] ManDay: thank you. [17:18] greetings: anybody use exaile? I try to add a stream but not sure how to do it [17:18] what is the best way to auto execute a script (as root) right before first login prompt after booting ? [17:18] >/win show 3 [17:18] ManDay: Ubuntu is open-source software. In the spirit of open-source software, anyone is free to improve it to how he or she sees fit. Nothing and no one is stopping you from controlling the amount of stuff being copied over to the HDD on install. Complaining about it certainly won't get it done. [17:18] anybody know how to speed up Ragnarok Online, i manage to install it and can login, but the graphics are very slow, from choosing a server, to login screen, its very slow? === pewz is now known as PewZ [17:19] ottermaton__, only when I'm not really paying attention to how long it's been in that visual state of saying 100% charged. In other words, when I let the battery level run completely down I lose it, but otherwise haven't lost it. [17:19] amlou: there is really no "good" way [17:19] any runlevel hack ? === anakin is now known as Guest31332 [17:19] i install 1 software, but not view in menu KDE [17:19] i am getting error when i insert memory card or pen drive [17:19] Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on /media/sdb1 [17:19] ottermaton__, but to me that's the whole issue. I don't want to have to keep track of how long I've been on battery and how much time is reasonable to be left [17:19] ManDay, if you have a problem with "bloat' as you put it , maybe complaining to the #ubuntu-devs is the right place to do so. [17:20] ok thanks BluesKaj [17:20] it works now [17:21] hi all - for ubuntu-bug i need to know which package is responsible for tablet input issues [17:21] now how to rip the dvd [17:21] it is a misconfiguration of xinput [17:21] amlou: maybe the cleaner way is to modify sudoers to permit the specific command without password ( if possible ) [17:21] anyone know how [17:22] !rip | Chum_Chum [17:22] Chum_Chum: For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping. To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar [17:22] hmm just tried xinput :) [17:22] and that worked === Guest31332 is now known as I-Me_Myself [17:23] !dvdrip | Chum_Chum [17:24] thats what i'm doing [17:24] Chum_Chum, http://freshmeat.net/projects/dvdrip/ [17:24] !info dvdrip [17:24] dvdrip (source: dvdrip): perl front end for transcode and ffmpeg.

[17:28] shane2peru: I lost my shell session (poor connectivity to the wireless network) so I just got back here now. In playing, I found that if you set the DISPLAY variable to, ":0.0" it will work. [17:28] BluesKaj, i'm using that via dvd:rip [17:29] Hey guys - just tried to install a deb file and got this : dpkg: error processing / path to deb file [17:29] anybody know how to speed up Ragnarok Online, i manage to install it and can login, but the graphics are very slow, from choosing a server, to login screen, its very slow? [17:29] dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal [17:29] ffmpeg is used by them all, they're just guis for ffmpeg anyway [17:29] any idea guys? [17:29] ccmonster: did you run apt-get from the command line? if so, did you use sudo? [17:30] Is it possible to repartition a NTFS partition that's Win 7? need to buy a new laptop for work and concerned I won't be able to dual boot.. I use Ubuntu 99% of the time but need a windows partition as well for rare but win specific apps (network equipment, etc) [17:30] I have a USB hard drive and I want to put ubuntu on it, but i dont want to change the system at all. the installer will change the bootloader of the primary HDD so that wont work, right? i only want to boot from the USB HDD whenever its plugged in. can anyone provide me with a link or something to get me going? [17:30] ccmonster, sudo dpkg -i "path to filename" [17:30] it takes ages to rip this dvd [17:30] rob_p, without messing with the xauthority it will work? [17:31] shane2peru: Yes. That's the beauty of doing X over ssh! [17:31] MTec007: System->Administration->Startup Disc Creator [17:31] jshriver: I don't have a lot of experience with Windows 7, but I'm pretty sure it uses NTFS, same as windows vista. [17:31] rob_p, that will be easier to remember too, thanks a bundle! [17:32] shtower: ok, thanks.. big concern is that machines now adays dont even come with an install disc else I'd just partition and install both. Seems most laptops especially have built-in recovery partitions which sucks [17:32] jshriver, gparted live cd partition editor should work to resize the ntfs partition , make sure you defrag windows first [17:32] shane2peru: You still have to ssh to the remote host with the, "-X" option. But once you do that, simply do, "export DISPLAY=":0.0" and your set! [17:32] MTec007: just have grub install only on the usb hd [17:32] jshriver: I'm pretty sure you can use gparted to shrink your windows 7 partition, and then install Ubuntu on the free space. GRUB will be installed by default, which will give you the option to dual boot. [17:32] rob_p, yes, I love ssh, I can organize pics, sync my wife's pc with mine, and put a message on the kids laptop. lol :) [17:32] 'k ty [17:32] when you boot your cimputer, you'll just have to select the usb hd as the boot device [17:32] alongenemylines: how can i ensure that happens? [17:32] rob_p, great, thanks!!! [17:32] alongenemylines: ok [17:33] shane2peru: welcome! take care. [17:33] !what? [17:33] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:33] MTec007: honestly, easiest way... disconnect your other HD [17:34] jshriver: I hate those recovery partitions too. If it's a new laptop, windows will usually give you an option to make recovery DVDs. If not, then it's just stupid :) [17:34] !who | Chum_Chum [17:34] Chum_Chum: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [17:34] alongenemylines: i dont know if i can do that.. i havnt tried it, but i've used laptops in the past that wouldnt boot without the primary HDD installed === toto is now known as Guest47415 [17:35] there should be an option of where to install the bootloader (grub) when doing the initial install [17:35] just make sure to install to your usb drive [17:35] Has anybody encountered an error where lvm hangs after being instructed to create a snapshot? [17:36] alongenemylines: ok i will Definetly check that out. thank you for your help, much appreciated [17:39] How to recreate xorg.conf? I thought dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg would do this, but no a xorg.conf file is created [17:39] BluesKaj, I still got the same errors after using sudo dpkg - i filesname [17:39] fantomas: if you're using lucid, just delete xorg.conf [17:39] it will regenerate upon next boot [17:39] alongenemylines: yes, I'm on Lucid. Thanks, didn't know that. [17:40] fantomas: try « sudo Xorg -configure :1 » [17:40] fantomas: it will default to auto-detected settings. If you have any custom arguments (like nvidia or ati drivers), you'll have to add them back into xorg.conf [17:40] Now I have trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/synergyc', which is also in package synergy 0:1.3.1-6ubuntu1 [17:41] ping [17:41] alongenemylines: isnt' there any debconf like wizard to configure video and other sections of xorg.conf? Why it went away? [17:41] banjaluka [17:42] hi all [17:42] n [17:42] both nvidia and ati have tools to configure xorg.conf settings for you [17:43] ati's is "ati-config --initial" [17:43] not sure about nvidia's, but i'm sure they have one [17:43] alongenemylines: unfort, looks like ATI is not available on Lucid :( At least for 2-years old VGA cards. === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC [17:44] have you tried the proprietary driver directly from ATI? [17:44] fantomas: ati has dropped support for a lot of their cards from the fglrx drivers. the ati/radeon drivers are slowly picking them up [17:44] alongenemylines: i have X1950GT board. Its in legacy driversset, which knows nothing about Lucid. Yes, tried today. [17:44] alongenemylines: package.run --listpkg - doesn't list lucid [17:44] nevermind xorg.dev is 30megs that should suffice [17:45] yeah, it's mostly just the HD series cards in the fglrx drivers [17:45] alongenemylines: so the only option is using free driver, right? [17:45] pretty much [17:46] good afternoon [17:46] was mod_auth_pam removed from ubuntu on version 10.4?

[17:56] Guest47056: conky uses the .conkyrc to define its look. [17:56] help [17:56] on a side note does anyone know any colleges or tech schools that offer extensive training in linux areas [17:56] why would including a driver for a common device be bloat?

For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."

Those are the errors I get when I run it like that. [17:58] the upstairs always takes alot more work then the downstairs [17:58] ActionParsnip, i guess, i would want all hardware to work out of the box, regardless if it's open source or not. it's better for stuff to work than for it not to work ;) === WakkaWakka_ is now known as WakkaWakka [17:58] rob_p, which in case of their-supplied fedora images just worked [17:58] i remember back in my slackware days, the first thing i would have to do is recompile the kernel and then possibly recompile X ;) [17:58] Does anyone know how I can get my gnome keyring back so I can login thru gnome in 10.04 [17:58] noolness: i believe its not allowed in some way to include proprietary stuffs on the install cd [17:58] actionpartnership @ me? === NightKhaos|Ghost is now known as NightKhaos [17:59] ccmonster,well perhaps the file is corrupted , I can't think of any other reason why it won't install. [17:59] UukGoblin: Unless you can get some sort of virtual console on the VM, you will have to modify the image within an environment that lets you install/configure the ssh server on it. [17:59] Tempus_Fugit: ive never noticed the gnome keyring affecting the logging in TO gnome.. just accessing your saved passwords in gnome. [17:59] any idea ? [17:59] Guest47056: the default file is ~/.conkyrc [17:59] noolness: get up in the morning and say I come to the right place [17:59] rob_p, fair enough [17:59] wer is it. [17:59] Tempus_Fugit: what happens when you try to login normally [18:00] they sed i cud find it in a .scripts folder. [18:00] rob_p, I don't exaclty see a point of having it as an option in amazon's "Community AMIs" if you can't actually use it :-S [18:00] i cant seea folder by that name yet [18:00] Guest47056: ~/.conkyrc is the path.. there is no .scripts directory. You can run conky to load any config from any location via the proper command line options. [18:00] Dr_Willis: well its the login keyring I removed by accident and now when i goto login thru my login screen it says general communication error [18:00] I believe my upstart is not working on Ubuntu 10.04, my deluge sysvinit scripts aren't started and now even the upstart converted cron isn't running. When I execute the command `initctl list` it returns nothing (no error code or output) I expected it to tell me what upstart jobs were running. Any ideas? [18:00] amazon ec2 sucks ;-P [18:00] ok. [18:00] Guest47056: because its hidden (files starting with a periods are hidden) [18:00] Guest47056: start reading at -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conky_%28software%29 [18:00] i think i need 2 work on them [18:01] Tempus_Fugit: what was your path to the login keyring file? [18:01] i got it to install. [18:01] hey BluesKaj, where is the application now? [18:01] ccmonster, which app/file are you trying to install ? [18:01] actionpartnership.... DUH.. thanx anyways. [18:01] UukGoblin: I haven't used any of the cloud based services so I don't know what's available to the user. Under vmware-server, I have a nice web-based interface that launches a java applet which runs a virtual terminal on the VM. From there I configure the basics (ssh server, etc) and then everything else I do over ssh. [18:01] Anyone have opinions on Ubuntu Netbook Edition? [18:01] it was synergyplus [18:02] Tempus_Fugit: i just renamed mine.. let me log out and see if i can log back in. :) [18:02] Tempus_Fugit: be right back [18:02] For an old 800MHz Compaq laptop. [18:02] UukGoblin: Good luck though. Wish I had a better answer for you. [18:02] Guest47056: use tab to complete nicks. its parsnip like the vegetable, not partnership [18:02] ccmonster,it should be listed in the panel /applications [18:02] its not. [18:02] I stand by the ubuntu way [18:02] its cl only apparent.y [18:03] lucenut: it'll probably crawl unless you have quite a bit of RAM, use LXDE instead, its lighter [18:03] we are not rebels [18:03] ActionParsnip: sorry, it should have been "Pondera", my bad [18:03] rob_p, amazon also sucks for not having any decent documentation. I don't even know how much I'm billed exactly until about 5 hours after the usage... [18:03] too bad people don't like buying stuff ;) [18:03] and now my instance seems to be being shut down for ever [18:03] sorry wrong channel === pjarnahom is now known as pjarnahomzz [18:03] Hmm i moved the login.keyring and was able to login via gdm [18:04] I am about to copy Ubuntu 10.04 Mini CD onto a memory stick, I have the ISO on my Mac, and would like to copy it to the memory stick, my instincts tell me to use dd, but guide tells me about: "Copying Files to USB Stick" [18:04] sowie, actonparsnip [18:04] my bad [18:04] is there anyone that provides Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud service for money? [18:04] Dr_Willis: please be patient with me as I am trying to learn all of this as fast as I can but i believe my path was cd gnome2/keyrings [18:04] I also have access to several console ubuntu installs, however I do not know synaptic, I am used to apt in debian and ubuntu. [18:05] UukGoblin: Sounds frustrating! I'm a little set in my ways because I can't see myself relying on cloud services for anything crucial. Perhaps it will get better over time but for now, I will stick with my physical servers at the colo facility running virtual machines! :-) [18:05] Tempus_Fugit: i just went to /home/willis/.gnome2/keyrings/ [18:05] Tempus_Fugit: and moved the login.keyring file to some other name. and logged out.. i was able to log back in just fine. You may be looking in the wrong place for your 'problem' [18:05] Tempus_Fugit: could the keyrings folder still be in trash? [18:05] is .conkyrc file same as conky.config??? [18:05] Dr_Willis: then ls -l .....then its said there were 4 files however only showed login.keyring and I was sposed to rm default.keyring and removed login.keyring instead [18:06] moves lots of items yesterday almost too many [18:06] UukGoblin: Speaking of which... I need to pay my bill! Almost forgot until now! [18:06] Guest47056: conky -c pickaconfig.file.to.use --> .conkyrc is used if you dont tell it another name [18:06] so I need a way to install ubuntu the a ppc mac for the sheadsheets [18:06] Tempus_Fugit: all login.keyring did here was reset (delete) the rembered passwords to my ftp/samba/ssh servers [18:06] philinux: How would I check the trash and restore the file [18:07] Tempus_Fugit: not if you use rm I'm afraid [18:07] rob_p, heh, I wanted to run some simple seti@home like calculations and generally have a look at how this cloud thing works... having a beefy server to play around with for an hour for a dollar or two is actually quite a nice idea... except there's nothing working on that fedora stuff [18:07] and wer exactly do i edit conky..rc? [18:07] hi [18:07] should `initctl list` show my currently running upstart jobs? It shows nothing for me and my sysvinit scripts and even cron aren't run at startup (but my sshd server is). Whats going on? This is Ubuntu 10.04. [18:07] Tempus_Fugit: i dont even have a 'default.keyring' [18:07] i got an external hdd via usb, but it says 'readonly filesystem' ... how can i make it writeable? [18:07] Guest47056: its a text file.. use any text editor. [18:07] !ppc > rabbitear [18:07] rabbitear, please see my private message [18:07] Tempus_Fugit: is yours set for auto login? [18:08] Guest47056: read up on conky. It does take some efffort to learn to use it properly ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conky_%28software%29 [18:08] So I just thought I'd remove the -22 kernel becaue there was a newer -23 one. Turns out that was a bad idea because -22 seemed to be the one in use. Now I've got kind of a huge problem... Can anyone teill me why the hell that would happen? Why do I have a -23 kernel if -22 is being used??!?! [18:08] i cud do that once i loacte it. but wer 2 look 4 it? [18:08] neither did I but you know when you use a wireless connection and you get that annoying keyring login say for ubuntu one or update manager well I was trying to disable that and did this instead [18:08] and how do I fix this desaster?! [18:08] philinux: no its not [18:08] Tempus_Fugit: was your home encrypted [18:08] philinux: ahh. encrypted homes.. :) im NOT using that. [18:09] philinux: Not that I know of [18:09] UukGoblin: Yeah, for playing around with, I can see that. Anyhow, I hope you get it squared away. Take care and good luck with it. [18:09] Dr_Willis: not me either [18:09] ManDay: did you reboot the pc after installing the -23 kernel? [18:09] thanks and see you later ;-) [18:09] philinux: still - i dont think the gnome keyring would be used for that. what if you tried some other window manager. :) [18:09] I believe my upstart is not working on Ubuntu 10.04, my deluge sysvinit scripts aren't started and now even the upstart converted cron isn't running. When I execute the command `initctl list` it returns nothing (no error code or output) I expected it to tell me what upstart jobs were running. Any ideas? [18:10] ManDay: reboot and hold shift, boot to an older kernel [18:10] MaRk-I, i did not install it in the first place - i just stumbled over the two kernels [18:10] hey, i just fixed my sound card problem ...with reinstall *evil laugher* [18:10] ActionParsnip, i have no other kernels [18:10] dammit- ill try to go into SU and download the 22 again [18:10] ManDay: hmm odd [18:10] MaRk-I, sorry my bad - of course i installed it === webpigeon_laptop is now known as Guest67952 [18:10] Hi mark [18:10] ManDay: then boot to liveCD, chroot to the internal partition and reinstall linux-image-generic [18:10] what i mean is that i did not just install it recently and now deleted the old [18:11] i just keepdeleteing old headers and kernels [18:11] hi bihari [18:11] mark i need some sort of suggestion from you can you check you Pm [18:11] I will brb let me try to login to gnome and see what the exact error is incase its not related to the login.keyring [18:11] Tempus_Fugit: at the login choose a different session [18:12] i dunno ActionParsnip GRUB still says it wants to boot to -22 - maybe i can simply insttruct it to use 23 and then fix that mess [18:12] by the way philinux I also did this to http://digitizor.com/2010/07/09/how-to-reset-all-gnome-settings-in-ubuntu-or-fedora/ [18:12] i dont know why it even works considering that 22 is unstinalled [18:12] hmm ok [18:12] ManDay: hold shift at power on [18:12] Ill try that [18:12] mark can i pm you ? [18:12] i got an external hdd via usb, but it says 'readonly filesystem' ... anyone know why it would be readonly? [18:12] Tempus_Fugit: that should not cause any problems [18:13] ActionParsnip, thats where i am [18:13] im currently correcting the grub entry [18:13] cant change the permissions, it seems [18:13] bihari: yes [18:13] wish me luck... [18:13] ManDay: have fun [18:13] philinux: ok brb let me get the exact error [18:14] ActionParsnip, i dont get along with the new grub [18:14] ubuntu-: #1 what filesystem is on it.. [18:14] Anyone know how to confirm upstart is working correctly? `initctl list` isn't returning anything and things aren't being start on startup (eg cron). Ubuntu 10.04 [18:14] how do i boot after i edited an entry? [18:14] in grub menu [18:14] ManDay: ive never had to look at it as I only single boot my systems [18:14] it says press ctrl-x but that doesnt do it [18:14] ManDay: ctrl-x does it here. odd. [18:14] left control X [18:15] Dr_Willis, first i press e to edit the entry and after im done i press ctrl-x? [18:15] ManDay: yea thats all i ever recall doing [18:15] doesnt work for me - does nothing [18:15] i cannot login with bootable flashdrive madeby remastersys "dist" iso . always shows authentication failure [18:16] ah seems like 23 isnt even there or something works only if it says 22 [18:16] ManDay: its B to continue boot [18:16] wtf is that [18:16] Folks, I need help with wget. I'm downloading with command "wget -N http://domain/somefile" this should download somefile only if it is newer than the one I have on my system? But it doesn't :/ Help is highly appreciated!

Things aren't being started. Please help. Ubuntu 10.04 [18:18] can you guys check your uname please (assuming you have an uptodate from the reps) [18:18] ? [18:18] Dr_Willis, ubuntu autodetected it. it's an external harddrive on /media/usbdisk [18:18] fearful: I've been trying to sync mine with windows installed under VirtualBox, and I think it's possible using iTunes 9.02. [18:18] Hi all. After upgrading to Lucid, my desktop goes sleeping after about 5 minutes. I can't find where this is configured. [18:18] ubuntu-: NTFS is by default mounted read only, if you want to set it othewise install.run the ntfs-config tool. thats why i asked what 'filesystem' it was using.

I too got the 23 kernels but in grub it says 22 and then if I boot with that I get an X-rendered error message about nvidia failing and after that pitch black and no response [18:21] Dr_Willis, sudo mkdir didnt work [18:21] id would be good enough for now if I could connect to wlan from single user so i can getch the 22 again - any idea how this is done best?

I'm downloading with command "wget -N http://domain/somefile" this should download somefile only if it is newer than the one I have on my system?

[18:24] Dr_Willis, can i mount it manually with sudo mount? what /dev/? wiould it be? [18:24] ubuntu-: you can.. but as i mentiooned IF the drive has some sort of Error. it may be getting forced into a read-only mode [18:25] ActionParsnip: you find this is convinient or no? [18:25] comfortable? [18:25] guys [18:25] yes i got read access [18:25] cant change it to write access or do a mkdir as sudo [18:25] ubuntu-: you would mount with a ciommand like --> 'sudo ntfs-3g /dev/whatever /media/MAKEADIRECTORY' [18:25] MegaHerz: i dont use them much, i use shortcut keys mainly [18:25] ubuntu-, type 'df -h' and check which device is it [18:25] ActionParsnip: ah, ok ) [18:25] ubuntu-: try mounting it by hand. and see if it mentions some errors [18:26] Dr_Willis: ubuntu-: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows [18:26] MegaHerz: some say left is the wrong side but they are incorrect, both sides are equally valid [18:27] ActionParsnip: or invalid. Interesting - is that Mac is using left. [18:27] i mounted it manually [18:28] 64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage" <- why does the ubuntu download page say that? [18:28] still it says 'readonly device [18:28] readonly fileesystem* [18:28] MegaHerz: mac uses left, windows uses right, inux can use either, or even both [18:28] no errors [18:28] I mean I've used the older Ubuntu for daily desktop usage for quite some time [18:28] ActionParsnip, ok im downloading the live image now. can i use it to directly fetch the 22 from the reps and install it back? [18:28] Akkernight: 32bit is still more supported in some areas, 64bit is good if you have > 3gb RAM and/or intend to encode video / audio [18:29] ManDay: sure, use a chroot [18:29] ubuntu-: what was the mount command you used exactly? [18:29] I want to use a very tiny tool called "reformime" that is part of a relatively small package called "maildrop".. using apt-get install maildrop wants to install a very long list of dependencies including exim4 which will break my current mail server setup.. is there a way to install maildrop without all those useless (and not logical) dependencies ? [18:29] sudo mount /dev/device ./foo [18:29] ActionParsnip, doesn't everyone have >3gb RAM these days? [18:29] does anyone have just a slight clue why i removed the -22 and there are no remains of it in /boot but uname still reports 22 and grub boots into it?!?! [18:29] ubuntu-: i mentioned using the 'ntfs-3g' command earlier... [18:29] ubuntu-, what is the type of filesystem? [18:29] <|jonathan|> hey [18:29] oh ok, ill try that [18:29] ubuntu-: you would mount with a command like --> 'sudo ntfs-3g /dev/whatever /media/MAKEADIRECTORY' [18:30] ManDay [18:30] ubuntu-: this IS a ntfs filesystem right? [18:30] shtower, ? [18:30] My ubuntu 10.04 is having issues with it's runlevel. When I run `runlevel` I get unknown and lots of services arent started. Why? [18:30] ubuntu-: you can also mount using gnome [18:30] !webmin [18:30] ManDay: Sorry, I know how to get the option out of GRUB, but I don't know why uname is still reporting 22. [18:30] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [18:31] i dont know, it's a toshiba external harddrive [18:31] <^peanut^> Kasuko: What services are you talking about that aren't started? [18:31] ubuntu-, its more likely then to be NTFS [18:31] can anyone help me to setup dhcpd3-server please? i am a newbie [18:31] ubuntu-: You have used it on windows machines befor? [18:31] i dont even understand how this can possibly be. if there is no 22 kernel on the system why does uname report i was running a 22 kernel? [18:31] thats impossible...

[19:44] @ActionParsnip thanks dude.. :D [19:44] any idea why an usb stick boots fine in one computer but hangs up on another?

[19:45] <|jonathan|> ActionParsnip didnt get u.. im new in ubuntu [19:45] <|jonathan|> :D [19:45] Kingsy: What exactly is the issue? Did you install those packages? Are you getting errors? etc.. [19:45] |jonathan|, you can install ubuntu-restricted-extras metapackage through software center or synaptic, then use ubuntu-tweak for adding the medibuntu archive, and install missings [19:45] Kingsy: what is it that you require those specific packages? Whatever it is, they probably should provide a decent install/config manual [19:46] What value should I put in /etc/default/grub GRUB_DEFAULT to select Windows as default OS? [19:46] ActionParsnip, any other suggestions? [19:46] <|jonathan|> blackxored do i need internet for this work ? [19:46] <_jesse_> |jonathan|: if you have an internet connection on this pc, why not just plug in the ethernet to the other? [19:46] |jonathan|: you can download debs off the web to then put on a storage device to transfer to the system with no internet connection [19:46] hareldvd: depends on how far down the list windows is.. Or you can use the 'saved' feature of grub2 and select windows by 'name' [19:46] |jonathan|, sure you do, otherwise you'll have to copy the mirrors offline, or with apt-cacher-ng on an internet-enabled machine, hard setups, you need the net to install only btw [19:47] <|jonathan|> _jesse_ what is ethernet [19:47] hareldvd: there is no single answer, you need to reboot and count the options down, then set it to that [19:47] <|jonathan|> ActionParsnip where cani download them [19:47] hareldvd: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [19:47] hareldvd: you could have 20 kernels installed and the number will be greater than if you had 1 or 2 [19:47] <_jesse_> |jonathan|: the wire that is likely plugged into the back of this pc that allows you to connect to the internet :P it looks like a phone cord wire, only bigger [19:47] hareldvd: there is no ONE answer, we can only tell you HOW you can get it yourself [19:47] |jonathan|: http://packages.ubuntu.com [19:48] hareldvd: look at where it mentions --> GRUB_DEFAULT=saved [19:48] |jonathan|: you'll nee dto head over to medibuntu too [19:48] Pici - atm I don't get any errors.. I installed apache, php5 and mysql.. then I loaded a app on my webserver.. it says that I still need to install curl, mcrypt, gd, pdo_mysql, and phpmyadmin.. so I did apt-get install phpmyadmin curl , then refreshed the app still says I need to install the same things (it did not see that I installed two of them) and localhost/phpmyadmin is a deadlink [19:48] <|jonathan|> _jesse_ lol i dont have the cards and stuff i only hav a wireless usb modem and having toublw with u [19:48] !medibuntu | |jonathan| [19:48] |jonathan|: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [19:48] <|jonathan|> ActionParsnip should i download mediabuntu? [19:48] Pici - so I guess I am asking how do I install these things (curl, phpmyadmin etc) and tell my apache installation where they are [19:48] |jonathan|: i think the page tells you how to download debs seperately too [19:48] Kingsy: You need to restart apache after doing those things. [19:49] <|jonathan|> okk [19:49] <_jesse_> |jonathan|: ah I see, then yes, you can download them offline using the methods others have suggested, it's just a bit more annoying [19:49] <|jonathan|> i dont understand anything : [19:49] <|jonathan|> : [19:50] Pici - ok I have just restarted it.. some progress.. its no-longer asking for mcyrpt etc but its still asking for curl and localhost/phpmyadmin is still a deadlink [19:50] Pici - any ideas? [19:50] can someone tell me, about this sdcard, if i get a 512 ext2 filesystem after a fat32 one, it mounts, when i set it up to 4096 it cant mount? [19:50] I cant get sound to work on my flash plugin on a 64 bit 10.04 [19:50] Pici - I guess I need to tell apache I have phpmyadmin installed somewhere? [19:50] DrPoO: do you use one of those creative audigy things? [19:50] blackxored: Have you tried ext4? [19:50] nope [19:51] DrPoO: good, makes things a LOT easier [19:51] ActionParsnip, I have a thinkpad [19:51] Misterio, i'll try now [19:51] Misterio, but its a tricky sdcard [19:51] let me first try with 2048 mb ext2 after the remaining fat [19:51] Okay [19:51] when using Rhythmbox to transfer a large number of tracks to a portable media player is it possible to stop or cancel the transfer in the middle? [19:52] |jonathan|: If it is too technical for you install this Linux distribution as you did with Ubuntu http://linuxmint.com/ [19:52] DrPoO: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=64+bit+flash+problem+ubuntu [19:52] Kingsy: You shouldn't need to tell apache anything. phpmyadmin's default setup should put a symlink to its conf file into /etc/apache2/conf.d [19:52] |jonathan|: you dont have a connection so you need to access the internet on another PC and download the files for the codecs and such you need. These are simple files which you can put onto a USB stick, SD / CF card, CD and then put then onto the system with no connection and install them [19:52] !google | pLr [19:52] pLr: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [19:52] Dr_Willis, as for my problem: [19:52] Pici - hmm so what would you suggest? [19:52] ManDay: what was the problem? i got the attentionspan of a newt today. [19:52] Dr_Willis, I had /boot on a not automount partition [19:52] Kingsy: Have you restarted apache? [19:52] Dr_Willis, remember? [19:52] 22 vs 23 kernel [19:53] <|jonathan|> ActionParsnip tell me the place where can i download all the stuff like dvd player, mp3 player everything [19:53] Kingsy: sorry, just read that line. One moment. [19:53] ManDay: Not really. :) had the grandkids here for the last 2 weeks [19:53] |jonathan|: the medibuntu page also gives instructions on how to download the deb files and you can do the same with those too [19:53] Pici - yup .. I did sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [19:53] Kingsy: Do you have a phpmyadmin.conf file in /etc/apache2/conf.d/ ? [19:53] |jonathan|: http://packages.ubuntu.com http://www.medibuntu.com [19:53] I am about to copy Ubuntu 10.04 Mini CD onto a memory stick, I have the ISO on my Mac, and would like to copy it to the memory stick, my instincts tell me to use dd, but guide tells me about: "Copying Files to USB Stick" [19:53] <|jonathan|> okk [19:53] Misterio, ActionParsnip, Dr_Willis: On 2GB partition ext2 i got stale nfs file hanle [19:53] upgrading to ext3 [19:53] lol, ok: well just for your info i earlier had a problem with a 22 kernel having been uninstalled from my sys and only a 23 remaining but nonetheless i booted into a 22 kernel which then had a lot of trouble [19:53] |jonathan|: i cant make it any simpler now [19:54] not read back :) [19:54] Pici - 1 sec I will check [19:54] barfster: one normally dosent 'dd' an iso to a flash drive. - there are SOME iso files taht can be doen that way.. but not many [19:54] Pici: sorry :( [19:54] What is sid in debian? [19:54] Dr_Willis: How can I prepare an ISO for that purpose? [19:54] simar: A version [19:54] barfster: im not sure if unetbootin, or other tools will work for putting that on a flash drive either. - Theres also the 'set up grub2' and get grub2 to boot the iso file - method [19:54] Pici - no there isnt one [19:54] simar: its a release name, debian support is in #debian [19:54] simar, the unstable distribution [19:54] !checksum [19:54] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [19:54] Pici - there are only 4 files in that folder [19:54] <^peanut^> barfster: have you tried installing "Unetbootin" for writing iso's to a usb drive? [19:54] <|jonathan|> ActionParsnip lol i got it [19:54] <|jonathan|> :P [19:54] barfster: last i looked the server iso also did not work with unetbootin, or the usb-disk creator tool when transfered toa flash drive. [19:55] Kingsy: Is there one in /etc/phpmyadmin/ ? [19:55] ^peanut^: but it’s gui? [19:55] Is there a terminal command that allows me to check which applications are currently using any sound devices, be it input or output devices? [19:55] barfster: so unetbootin may or may not work. Checj out the Pendrivelinux web site and its scripts also. [19:55] Dr_Willis: Is there a way to use debootstrap to prepare an installer instead of an install? [19:55] blackxored, Like lucid is to ubuntu right? What why the release unstable distribution? [19:55] hey guys, how do I automatically mount NTFS partitions at ubuntu start? === ghoti_ is now known as ghoti [19:55] Pici - no there isnt.. there is a apache.conf [19:55] <^peanut^> barfster: yeah, check out with Dr_Willis said too =). As for a gui.... do you not use X? [19:56] Pici - and a phpmyadmin.service [19:56] barfster: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=828634 [19:56] simar: its the release name, like lucid, karmic, hardy etc [19:56] simar: debian is offtopic here [19:56] 'nomodeset add_efi_memmap', don't know what those are but they came in grub.cfg.example (grub2) file. now booting on an iMac i get "erro: no suitable mode found. Booting however" and then it hangs there [19:56] Kingsy: Er, right. Can you run: sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf [19:56] I use Mac for GUI, or Linux server side only through ssh, no X, except for one machine that runs some old wine emulation. [19:56] ok [19:56] Kingsy: Then retart apache again [19:56] barfster: as for macs.. No idea. perhaps pendrivelinux web site has some info on mac tools [19:57] Pici - done [19:57] simar, check #debian, but still because sid is the development distribution, everything gets there after very little time, more tested packages go to debian testing, and eventually stable versions at the release, at a glance [19:57] is pendrivelinux apt based? [19:57] barfster: its a web site... [19:57] Pici - ok that worked!! [19:57] pendrivelinux.com (or was it.org) [19:57] i had success (with a distorted video) with no 'nomodeset' in grub.cfg [19:57] Pici - what happened? [19:57] barfster: they got all sorts of scripts and tools for making linux pendrives [19:57] <^peanut^> pendrivelinux.com is correct [19:57] any idea? [19:57] barfster: could ask in a mac channel [19:57] Howdy All - So I have a GPT partitioned hard drive and I installed Ubuntu followed by OSX. Chameleon ate grub2, how can I restore grub2 to be the default boot loader? (The method you use for MBR does not work :-/) [19:58] Kingsy: We told apache about phpmyadmin. I thought this happened automagically though. [19:58] jef91, the grub scripts won't do it for you? [19:58] ActionParsnip: how to make a memory stick bootable Ubuntu 10.04 Mini CD? [19:58] Pici - so the last thing.. curl .. apt-get install curl says I have it installed.. but my webserver is saying that it isnt.. any ideas? [19:58] ActionParsnip: how to make a memory stick bootable Ubuntu 10.04 from Mini CD? [19:58] barfster: the tool you use will do that [19:58] Dr_Willis, ActionParsnip, Terrible delay, Seems that after that many kernel upgrades (3) the list of OSs stabilizes to 3x2 kernels. Can I count on that? [19:58] barfster: i read it the first time [19:58] Kingsy, your webserver is asking for the *libraries* not the executable [19:58] I'm trying to remove ubuntu from a dual boot laptop, is deleting grub going to be a problem? [19:59] blackxored - I did a grub-install /dev/sda with a chroot from a livecd and it gives me an error about it being a gpt drive [19:59] ActionParsnip: But what does these tools do? unetbootin and stuff? Isn’t there a simple BASh script that can do the same thing? [19:59] tahnok: you need to install the windows bootloader [19:59] jef91, cleaning the mbr with dd? [19:59] hareldvd: yes you count those, count them all [19:59] ChogyDan: do I need a windows install disk for that? [19:59] hi there :) [19:59] hi all! [19:59] hi [19:59] how do I find a chat room in age groups [20:00] barfster, they do quite a lot, accessing squashfs fs, creating isolinux or syslinux boots, copying files, adjusting device mappings, etc [20:00] barfster: its a tool to put the right files in the right place and put the boot info in the right place [20:00] <^peanut^> !ot | patty_ [20:00] patty_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [20:00] blackxored - ok so how do we show apache that I have the libs? [20:00] tahnok, ask in ##windows [20:00] ActionParsnip, Can I control the amount of Kernels saved for backup? [20:01] tahnok: I dunno, you might be able to do it from windows. I would figure out how to reinstall the windows boot first, then you can delete the partition [20:01] Kingsy, first try the OpenSSL version with sudo aptitude install libcurl4-openssl [20:01] ActionParsnip: I still sit here with the funny feeling that a bootable memory stick and a bootable CD does not have to be THAT different... [20:01] hareldvd: you can remove unused kernels to reduce entrys [20:01] barfster: usb boots differently [20:01] ChogyDan: ya, that's what I'm thinking [20:01] well thank you for your help [20:01] barfster, yes they are [20:01] nevermind blackxored I need to run grub-install with --force [20:01] jef91, cool, knowledge adquired ;) [20:02] blackxored - just tried that.. doesnt work [20:02] Apparently gpt is still "experimental" and "not recommend" [20:02] <^peanut^> barfster: check out. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bootdisk.com%2Fpendrive.htm&ei=oQk-TJfrEI_CsAOkg8HaCg&usg=AFQjCNGLPHVGycws-TG5HF4S1bfp4KdeqA&sig2=pbQ4aQvnL9K8-ppPYCX3PQ [20:02] even though it works fine haha [20:02] blackxored - I mean, it installed fine but after apache re-start it still doesnt see it [20:02] ^peanut^: I am on here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/search/10.04 [20:02] <^peanut^> oops. wow , wrong url. sorry bout that. it was http://www.bootdisk.com/pendrive.htm [20:03] Kingsy, which webapp are you running, btw? [20:03] <^peanut^> barfster: yea, not sure that's gonna help. most of the stuff on there requires a gui either from linux or windows [20:03] ActionParsnip, can the update_manager get configured to hold just 2? [20:03] blackxored - magento [20:03] thanks ChogyDan [20:03] Kingsy, magento fine, it requires curl 3 or curl 4 or doesn't say [20:03] * barfster GUI drives me crazy, is it proprieteriazing in disuquise? [20:03] blackxored - doesnt specify [20:04] then try libcurl3-gnutls and libcurl3-gnutls-dev [20:04] Can I delete the /boot/grub folder if afterwards i reconfigure grub? [20:04] blackxored - by try you mean apt-get them? [20:04] ManDay_: grub bootloader uses those files, unless ive missunderstood your problem [20:04] Kingsy, yes [20:05] ManDay_: it has to get to them some how [20:05] <^peanut^> barfster: take a look at this. http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html there is a commandline option no gui [20:05] guys i need help pleas [20:05] barfster: if you want command line only.. set up grub2 on the pendrive and set it up to boot the iso file. [20:06] Dr_Willis, I've caused quite a mess in my /boot with multiple kernels tangled up in eachother and im trying to clean it up a little by removing and and then cleanly featching the 23 kernel === ativador is now known as fredim [20:06] <^peanut^> Dr_Willis: nice one man. didn't think of that [20:06] how can i paste you a message [20:06] Dr_Willis, if I reinstall grub that should do it? [20:06] ManDay_: ewww. :) I guess you can try. [20:06] kto chce rozmawiać po polsku [20:06] hareldvd: you can tell grub to only hold 2 but update manager will not, you must manually remove [20:06] <^peanut^> !po | clarinet46 [20:06] thanks Dr_Willis [20:06] ManDay_: you could try to set up /boot/ on the / not on its own parittion. but that may break things worse [20:06] Perhaps I have to read the source of unetbootin [20:07] any one :) [20:07] barfster: all unetbootin does. is extract/copy the files to the pendrive. then configures syslinux [20:07] barfster: ive done it by hand in the past.. I find grub2 easier to get going. but syslinux works. :) [20:07] i wanna install metronome [20:07] how will i do it?

[20:10] sanjoy: You are asking how to install A metronome program then? ok.. [20:10] ManDay_: on ubuntu.. yes. :) Gentoo does that by default i recall [20:10] @ActionParsnip: how to do that [20:11] amit08: try running: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf delete all text and add this line: nameserver 8.8.8.8 [20:11] hello, i'm installing ubuntu 10.04 on a system with raid 0. I have windows 7 installed. Should i install boot loader on /dev/mapper/isw_bcafcbfddh_Volume0 ? [20:11] amit08: then save the file, close gedit then close all browsers and rerun [20:11] Dr_Willis, thats why i did it - remembered to have read it would be clever , lol [20:11] first think then act [20:11] @ActionParsnip: ok will try that [20:11] [newbie] Please, I need the patch that was applied to the sources of the package pretzel. How can I obtain it? [20:11] !raid | andpsy [20:11] andpsy: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [20:11] Kingsy, dude i didn't followed from the beggining and i though it was curl libraries what you need, the homepage says the php extension so go ahead on php5-curl and blame if that doesn't solves it [20:12] ManDay_: i got about a 3gb /boot/ :) i keep spare iso files on it i can boot with grub2 :) [20:12] Which debootstrap sources are there? Is there such a thing as lucid-miniCD? [20:12] !minimal | barfster [20:12] barfster: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [20:12] blackxored - ahh ok 1 sec [20:12] Dr_Willis, i have a little cleaning up quirk ;) [20:12] romildo: you can fetch the source package with apt-get source packagename, it contains the original source and all patches [20:12] @ActionParsnip: what does this mean ... 8.8.8.8 [20:12] ubottu: It's not a software raid [20:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:13] romildo: you might be able to grab the source and find the patches there [20:13] romildo: it will put the stuff in your current directory [20:13] blackxored - ahh that worked.. thanks sir.. I should have been more specific.. [20:13] isnt there nromally a package called linux-image....2.6.32-23 ?? not only one that ends in "-generic" ? [20:13] @ActionParsnip: I mean ... nameserver 8.8.8.8 [20:13] What, if any, are the drawbacks to having both Gnome and KDE desktop enviroments installed? [20:13] Kingsy, no problem at all, and sir? and probably one of the youngest here ;) [20:13] blackxored - thanks.. it looks like it was pretty easy in the end and it seems to do alot of it for you :) [20:13] amit08: its google's public DNS, it may help [20:14] mgolisch, I have done that. But I am not seeing the patches there. [20:14] amit08: it needs to go in the resolv.conf file instead of aything you have in there [20:14] blackxored - lol .. well cheers [20:14] ok [20:14] romildo: there should be a directory called debian or such, it contains the control files and all patches [20:15] amit08: is it better now? [20:15] hello. i'm using ubuntu 10.04, and for some reason, when i log into my user, the gnome-panel crushes (the top one, i mean, it loads, but does not load all widgets). It uses 1005 of my cpu, and no matter i try to close processes (using guake - htop), they load back (especially the gnome-panel and the widgets). what can i do to fix it? [20:15] !panelfix [20:16] mgolisch, the contents of the debian subdir are: changelog control copyright dirs docs postinst postrm rules [20:16] mike233yo718: use: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel then setup from defaults [20:16] mgolisch, I am not seeing any patch. [20:17] @ActionParsnip: I tried that ... still same result [20:17] i am behind a router [20:17] romildo: hm maybe it doenst have any? [20:17] amit08: can you ping other sites? [20:17] republika srpska [20:17] nope [20:17] mgolisch, and there would be a patch, as this application is old and does not compile with current compilers without patching. [20:17] amit08: can you ping your router? [20:17] @ActionParsnip: yes [20:17] ActionParsnip, what do you mean by "setup from defaults" ? [20:17] amit08: ok then the connection beyond is bad, try rebooting the router [20:18] mike233yo718: the command I gave will set the panel to vanilla settings, you can then build up from there. You may have a bad setting causing an issue [20:19] is there an easy to detect if there are 2 computers with the same mac adres on your network [20:19] mgolisch, should I download the pristine tar ball and produce the patch myself, or does ubuntu can do that for me? [20:19] hi, I can paste text into a java applet based chat service, I can type text [20:19] how to paste text into a java applet? [20:19] Can anybody tell me why ubuntu isn't listening to my xorg.conf? [20:20] lxsys: read /var/log/Xorg.0.log [20:20] I want to replace a kernel-driver with my own. The drivers name is "adriver" and locate "adriver" returns two results within the driver subtree - which one of the twos should I replace with my version? [20:21] ActionParsnip, thanks a lot [20:21] @ActionParsnip: I am not sure if thats the problem .. since my IRC is connected using same machine [20:21] ActionParsnip: Can you explain "Fatal Error: no screens found." to me, I've clearly defined my screens. [20:22] ActionParsnip: I found this: http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2009/05/25/boot-an-iso-via-grub2/ looks good. [20:22] lxsys: then the definition is whack and udev is doing its thing [20:23] ActionParsnip: it's clearly not because I've got two screens hooked up to my matrox g400 and only one is recognised. [20:23] #ubuntu [20:23] I want to replace a kernel-driver with my own. The drivers name is "adriver" and locate "adriver" returns two results within the driver subtree - which one of the twos should I replace with my version?thats right [20:23] sorry [20:23] lxsys: well your PC doesnt think your xorg.conf is good and thats what counts, find more examples tweak [20:24] ManDay: back the original ones up and you can try either or both [20:24] ManDay: if you md5sum the files you may find they are identical ;) [20:25] I have a softraid 1 that I need to migrate to a new system. Is there a way I can do this without copying data to USB drive, remaking RAID, and copying data back to the new RAID? [20:25] ActionParsnip, well but which one is actually used? i assume ubuntu doesnt take the frist half of the one and the latter half of... [20:25] ActionParsnip: um... i've never made an xorg.conf before, and to be quite honest, I have no idea how. do you know of any good guides? [20:26] hey guys, im trying to install Pan newsreader but it says it depends on libgmime2.2 and i have libgmime-2.0-2a .. how can i install 2.2? [20:26] how can I move the close button section to the right in 10.04?

[20:26] thx lxsys [20:26] ah no, that wasn't for me ^^ [20:26] MichaelKohler: um that's not it, sorry [20:26] g0tcha: sudo apt-get upgrade === ravi is now known as rss [20:26] lxsys: i gave you some pages easlier, you will need: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get write access [20:27] maiko: you *are* talking in #ubuntu [20:27] maiko: /join #ubuntu [20:27] thnx [20:27] I never use irc chat [20:27] duiu, thats going to upgrade all my destro, right? [20:28] g0tcha: no, dist upgrade is sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [20:28] i'm using kvm with windows xp and trying to get a network connection. kvm created a virtual network and the virtual machine is set to use it and be natted. But it doesn't work. Anyone have troubleshooting tips? [20:28] !controls | MichaelKohler [20:28] MichaelKohler: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side.

[20:28] k..mom [20:30] anyone can help with nautilus trash in ntfs and fat partitions ? on Ubuntu 10.04 [20:30] !ask | maiko [20:30] maiko: 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. :-) [20:30] maiko: when i empty the trash it normally cleanes those out also. Whats your specific issue? [20:31] sryy about it, i'm new in irc chat [20:31] i cant move my files to trash [20:31] !trash [20:31] The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [20:32] lxsys: http://srv12a.weiss-intermedia.de/xorg.conf [20:32] maiko: cd /home; sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./$USER [20:32] Monty: Thanks :) [20:32] depending on how the Non-linux filesystmes are mounted. ive noticed where you basically 'delete now' :) there is no move to trash option. Not sure why its that case siometiomes for me and not at other times [20:32] this is what appears "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?" [20:33] for removeabel media - i normally dont want stuff to go to the trash. [20:34] Does SLI work with the NVIDIA drivers for Linux work flawlessy? [20:34] nothing in computers are flawless :) [20:34] uhm [20:34] Does SLI work the with the Nvidia drivers for Linux [20:34] That's what I meant [20:34] Dr_Willis, but it does? [20:34] cryzed: ive heard they work. but never tried them [20:34] too poor. [20:34] Dr_Willis, Planning to buy 2 GTX 460 [20:35] I dont see the point in going that overboard. [20:35] :) [20:35] Dr_Willis, to each his own [20:35] hi [20:35] by [20:35] oops [20:35] Sorry [20:36] one could also argue if you are playing games that need that much GPU power.. well.. they are proberly not native linux games in teh first place. so why are you not running them in windows. [20:36] Im not sure how well wine handles SLI stuff. (if at all) [20:37] ActionParsnip, Now I have a fresh 10.04 64-bit install... How do you recommend that I install the flash-plugin? [20:37] DrPoo: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [20:37] Hi all, working with an HP 6735b with Desktop 10.04 on it [20:37] Cant get buntu to see the wifi. [20:38] ActionParsnip, Is that any different than letting firefox do it? [20:38] The card is listed as supported on linlap.com but I beleive that the issue is the wireless switch [20:38] DrPoo: not as far as I know [20:38] It is one of the on/off switches that is above the KB. blue=on and orange=off. Cant get blue :-( [20:38] DrPoo: the ubuntu-estricted-extras should install it too as well as other goodies [20:38] himuraken: run: sudo lshw -C network websearch for the product line of the wifi [20:39] ActionParsnip, because last time I used firefox... and that did not work [20:39] how do i register my name?

[20:40] pk__ ssh -D user@remotehost [20:40] pk__, export HTTP_PROXY=xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy [20:40] mkanyicy: earlier i used to write it in .bashrc [20:40] can i follow the same procedure now also [20:40] pk__, and then? [20:40] Hello, people. My front panel headphone and microphone jacks do not seem to work. Sound via speakers is okay. Any ideas? [20:41] vaul1, are you sure that the front panel is connected to the mobo? [20:41] ActionParsnip: any other suggestions? [20:41] pk__, why dont you do this via gnome-network-properties? === an is now known as Guest10837 [20:41] DrPoo: What is mobo? [20:41] vaul1, motherboard [20:41] motherboard [20:41] DrPoo: Anyway, that worked on Windows. [20:41] DrPoo: So, yes. [20:41] himuraken: then its not turned on, lshw shows ALL network, the -C network bit shows only network devices [20:42] I've tried it "cd /home; sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./$USER" but the problem persists [20:42] vaul1, bomo = bored mother [20:42] ActionParsnip: understood. The odd thing is that I pulled the wifi card out of another system and replaced it. Same issue. [20:42] mkanyicy: the Ui method is not storing the authentication info [20:42] himuraken: is it usb? [20:42] ActionParsnip: and the card I swapped in is supported, I am online with it on another system. Seems like the stupid HP "soft switch" is blocking the card [20:42] Negative it is miniPCIe [20:42] I'm having an issue with f-spot on ubuntu: http://pastebin.com/2Nkex3EW [20:43] when i echo $http_proxy it shows the proxy address but the authentication info is not there [20:43] mkanyicy: Is there a funny abbreviation for bored Ubuntu user, who want to use Skype? Maybe bouus? [20:43] this message "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?" continue appears when i try to move to trash one file or folder [20:43] pk__, use gconf-editor [20:43] so every sodtware gives Authentication required [20:43] himuraken: check in bios for default wifi state (if its there and make sure its on) [20:43] vaul1, bogus = bored gnome user [20:43] ActionParsnip: totally lame idea, but I am considering installing windows on a secondary drive, enabling wifi, and then putting buntu drive back in.... [20:44] Could someone please suggest a bare bones linux tutorial or online corse i could try [20:44] ActionParsnip: good call on BIOS, tried that first XD [20:44] Is it possible to find out by looking at the boot partition whether Ubuntu was installed or xubuntu? [20:44] Mainly dealing with the kernel [20:44] mkanyicy: in gconf-editor too the authentication info is shown and well written [20:44] but when i echo $http_proxy in terminal it is just hte address [20:44] MetalGeek_N00b: do you know C? [20:44] pk__, what does hte mean? [20:44] DrPoo: So, I checked official sound troubleshooting guide and it seems that I do have two devices that are recognized as soundcarts. === BIGSEXY is now known as robertzaccour [20:45] sorry "the" [20:45] Has anybody here got Charlix working? http://charlix.sourceforge.net/ [20:45] how do i change my password?

[20:46] robertzaccour, sudo -s [20:46] Can anyone give me some advice on the 'dd' command? [20:46] mkanyicy: i meant irc [20:46] when i do echo $http_proxy it shows http://10.1.1.16:80/ in place of http://324234:334234@10.1.1.16:80/ [20:46] BlaDe^: Use «man dd»?

However [20:46] robertzaccour: Go to System-Administration-Users and groups. There, you can change password. [20:46] pk__: then use export to set the proxy properly [20:46] MetalGeek_N00b: i'd suggest you learn how the userspace works instead until you understand C in that case :) [20:46] i didn't forget my IRC password, i just wanna change it [20:47] I want to skip the first 4gb, and I'm not sure if it's better to use skip=(1024*1024*4) or set the block-size higher etc [20:47] robertzaccour: ask in #freenode [20:47] mnemon, should i learn c before c++ [20:47] can i use .bashrc scripts [20:47] Charlix keeps on asking for xdialog, but it can't be installed. How to get it working? [20:47] BlaDe^: i think the switch is offset= [20:47] MetalGeek_N00b, no [20:47] BlaDe^, what do you want to achieve?

[20:53] guntbert - its not anything important I am doing something really quickly then its getting deleted [20:53] MetalGeek_N00b, cli == command line interface. (Yeah, the terminal) [20:53] MetalGeek_N00b: Command Line Interface [20:53] rallias, vi /etc/resolv.conf [20:53] MetalGeek_N00b: terminal yes [20:54] MetalGeek_N00b, If you've mastered the CLI then you've taken a massive step towards mastering linux. [20:54] MetalGeek_N00b: then learn vi, and then shell scripting. That ought to get you going. [20:54] <^peanut^> pk_: there is a system-wide proxy setup in ubuntu, and the http_proxy option you can set for your shell. have you tried the system-wide setup? [20:54] edbian: well said [20:54] anyone know about adding a CD to the grub2 menu? [20:54] MetalGeek_N00b, Good luck mastering both :) It could be argued that each one is impossible to "master" [20:55] cr0bar, You should just tell your bios to boot the CD. Probably a much easier task. [20:55] gotta jet for a bit thanks for the tips Monty and edbian [20:55] cr0bar: you mean a 'boot the cd in the optical drive' entry ? Or a 'boot this iso file' entry? [20:55] himuraken, bye! [20:55] himuraken, VI? [20:55] how do i get NetworkManager to quit modifying the /etc/resolv.conf file? [20:55] !vi [20:55] the catch is, the old DVD drive died ages ago, and the BIOS isn't recognizing the "new" drive as bootable - it works perfectly fine in any OS once it's booted [20:55] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs, ed - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [20:55] ^peanut^: i used that but authentication doesnot work with that [20:55] MetalGeek_N00b, I prefer nano and emacs :) [20:56] eb both? [20:56] rallias: maybe you want to manually define the dns-settings for your network-connection in the network-manager [20:56] mkanyicy, gzipping will prolly use all my phones cpu though wont it? [20:56] Could anyone please explain to me how to auto-join channels? I try with this: "/ns ajoin add #ubuntuforums", but NickServ claims it is an invalid command. I am using Pidgin as a IRC client. [20:56] !IDE > edbian [20:56] edbian, please see my private message [20:56] cr0bar: that is weird. if its an IDE drive. perhaps the jumper is wrong. [20:56] !code [20:56] pk__: look at when most of the man pages were written. age is quite irrelevant [20:56] Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [20:56] lol [20:56] Not sure - http://www.computing.net/answers/hardware/toshiba-laptop-bios-not-detecting-cdrom-/59619.html is what I'm experiencing [20:56] Monty: TYVVM [20:56] pk__, authentication WORKS with gnome-netwok-properties!!! [20:56] I've been having some weird issues with Xsession. For whatever reason, I can't change the session I use with gdm or kdm. That is, if I select "xterm" instead of Gnome, I get taken to Gnome anyhow. [20:57] hello, could anyone please explain to me how to install a webcam on ubuntu? [20:57] <^peanut^> pk_: so this "export http_proxy="http://username:password@host:port/" [20:57] pk__: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/fedora-35/how-to-set-up-proxy-in-apt-gets-apt-conf-265793/ (post #2) shows the code, but the file isn' there any more [20:57] <^peanut^> didn't work? [20:57] cjsurr: click conversation-> add you can then add the channel, you can also make the client autoconnect to the channel in the same dialogue [20:57] can anybody help me with the xorg.conf? [20:57] hi. i did a usermod to rename a user account and corresponding home directory. it was using an encrypted home drive via ecryptfs. now when the user tries to log in they get a "You do not own that encrypted directory". any idea on how to resolve this? i checked ownership in the /home/.ecryptfs/user directory and all was with the new user account login [20:57] This is the problem. Everyone likes something different, so everyone is right and wrong at the same time, I agree and will put alot of my effort into cli for the time being and discuss the rest later [20:57] mkanyicy: authentication no doubt works ...but not when it is used in command line [20:57] you can try [20:57] It only happens on one account, no others are affected, [20:57] hello [20:57] mikm, do you have them installed [20:57] cjsurr: it may be alia [20:57] trill, Plug the webcam in. Turn on the computer. If that doesn't work we can get much deeper. [20:57] *alias [20:57] BlaDe^, are you running ubuntu on a cellphone? [20:57] Thank you everyone [20:57] lxsys, what you need [20:57] tech2077: Of course. xterm is installed by default. [20:57] mikm, i was wondering about kdm [20:58] Ok, thanks . Im going to try that again and see if it works brb [20:58] tech2077: Same behavior. [20:58] MetalGeek_N00b, Choice is only a problem for the inexperienced. It is a tool for a user on the latter half of the learning curve. [20:58] i had nokia 5800, how can i using it for network connection over bluetooth [20:58] mkanyicy: use a proxy with authentication in you gnome-network-properties and then echo $http_proxy ..u will be more surprised than me [20:58] ActionParsnip: That worked, thanks. [20:58] mkanyicy, i'm dual booting android(with an ubuntu kernel) and osx [20:58] I'm trying to get XP installed, so if I add the XP ISO (gotta love MSDNAA) to the GRUB2 menu, it should be fine from there? [20:58] so I can run a shell on both [20:58] tech2077: help! :L um, I can't get it to work, and i'm new to xorg.conf editing. shall I pastebin the config? [20:58] tech2077: I've scoured my dotfiles and such, but I can't find anything out of the ordinary [20:59] mikm, can you change session from inside you gnome session, like run plasma-desktop and kdm, lxsys, yes pastebin it, and tell me what you want to achieve [20:59] I'm having an issue with f-spot on ubuntu ("X Window System error"): http://pastebin.com/BM2T22p0 [20:59] tech2077: Of course. plasma-desktop etc. runs without a hitch [21:00] The only clue is a message in .xsession-errors "/etc/X11/Xsession.d/20x11-common_process-args: 67: message: not found" [21:00] mikm, this is strange, try out some stuff and i'll get back to you [21:01] anyone know of a fix for the notification area/tray volume slider only engages at 20% -10.04.

[21:04] ok so Learn the terminal or Cli, Is there some way that i can see incoming and outgoing connections, open ports etc in the cli [21:04] MetalGeek_N00b: netstat [21:04] MetalGeek_N00b, Yes netstat [21:04] MetalGeek_N00b: start with lsof -i [21:04] I have the both. [21:04] iceroot, you beat me! [21:05] ok opened a terminal [21:05] edbian: better luck next time :) [21:05] edbian, I have the both things [21:05] MetalGeek_N00b, To learn how to use netstat (or any program) run man netstat [21:05] MetalGekk nice nickname [21:05] lxsys, wait..i have to look what it looked like in my backup...don't have the card anymore... [21:05] maiko, What? What file system is the partition that contains the file you're trying to delete? [21:05] enav, was that a touch oif sarcasm [21:05] MetalGeek_N00b: http://hackepedia.org/?title=Ports [21:05] edbian, it's ext4 [21:05] MetalGeek_N00b, To learn how if you're a beginner, google "netstat" [21:06] edbian, i know it's very strange [21:06] edbian, info overload [21:06] maiko, mmm, that's odd. Do you have permissions to move the folder? Technically sending something to trash is moving it. [21:06] wow [21:06] MetalGeek_N00b, ha ha ha :) [21:06] MetalGeek_N00b, There is a lot to learn. Linux is a rabbit hole of sorts [21:07] edbian: waht if its not the same filesystem as his /home/ is on? it would be weird for somthing to get 'deleted' from one filesystem and actgually moved to a 2nd fileystem. (and could be slow) [21:07] edbian, yes i have the permissions because the file is in my home folder [21:07] I'm having an issue with f-spot on ubuntu ("X Window System error"): http://pastebin.com/BM2T22p0 [21:07] cool, let me take the red pill then, im a quick study, and linux is definatly an eye opener [21:07] edbian: never mind. :) it is in his /home/ heh [21:07] MetalGeek_N00b: for a first impression use lsof -i -- shows all connections and all listening servers [21:07] Lets start with netstat [21:08] Dr_Willis, That's probably what's going on. But I thought if you delete a file on an ext partition the file is moved to that partition's .trash. not the user's .trash ? [21:08] Hi. Can someone suggest a hot corners(OS X app) equivalent in Ubuntu? [21:08] DCat: compiz has some settings to do 'things' when you move the mouse to the corners [21:09] DCat, I set up compiz to use the corners. It works well :) [21:09] edbian and Dr_Willis: thanks.. will check it out.. I tried brightside but it doesn't work on my 9.10 install [21:09] DCat, Compiz is the best :) [21:09] edbian, i am green to compiz really. what was the subsetting called? [21:10] or is it obvious? [21:11] DCat, You go to the plugin you want activated by the corner then you change the keybinding for that plugin to be some corner of the screen. [21:11] I just plugged in my webcam and restarted my computer but its still not working can someone help [21:11] MetalGeek_N00b, http://commandwindows.com/netstat.htm Explains that netstat -a shows all active connections on all interfaces. [21:11] trill, Does it show up in the output of lspci?? [21:11] trill, What program are you using with your webcam? [21:12] I want to copy my entire / to a backup disk to be restored onto a RAID array. Which method is best to ensure that I copy all files, including hidden ones? [21:12] i havent found any programs. Im new to linux and ubuntu [21:12] Sorry edbian I don't understand.. I did find a page via google with compiz hot corners as a term [21:12] ill start reading up [21:12] edbian, this is my ls -lh .local/share/Trash/ returns: total 12K [21:12] drwx------ 2 maiko maiko 4,0K 2010-07-13 00:14 expunged [21:12] drwx------ 2 maiko maiko 4,0K 2010-07-13 00:14 files [21:12] drwx------ 2 maiko maiko 4,0K 2010-07-13 00:14 info [21:12] DCat, Do you have compiz config settings manager installed?

[21:13] DCat, As an example I'll show you how to make expo activate when the upper left corner is touched. Open CCSM and go to the expo plugin. [21:13] lxsys, can't find any modules or logfiles in my backup....but you could check for an installed package "dpkg -l *mga*" and look for ii [21:13] and is this normal ubuntuone 1476 marcus 20u IPv4 40386 0t0 TCP 10.58.243.127:55403->ec2-174-129-241-144.compute-1.amazonaws.com:https (ESTABLISHED) [21:13] hello [21:13] MetalGeek_N00b, Not all of them are true network connections I think. Some of them are ports that the system uses. The packets never leave the machine. Does that make sense? [21:13] greetings. i'm running both win7 and ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. i want to clean up the boot menus. initial boot brings up what i understand to be grub2/gnu grub. if i arrow down to last item for windows longhorn it brings up windows boot menu from which i have to choose win7, ubuntu(defunct) and ubuntu(also defunct) how do i fix? [21:14] can someone tell me is there any big difference between ubuntu and ubuntu netbook edition? is netbook editition really prepared for small screens and resolution? [21:14] is there a panel applet for cpu scaling which can change settings for all cores at once? i have to have 4 and it's tedious [21:14] edbian. ok im there [21:14] where exactly is ekiga located? [21:15] mecenas, Netbook edition has a special little User Interface with big buttons and stuff. That's the biggest difference. [21:15] trill: which ekiga [21:15] trill, usr bin [21:15] i'm just wondering, if ie. google chrome preferences windows will fit my screen in netbook edition..in normal it dosen't [21:15] trill: Is it installed? [21:15] edbian, thx [21:15] edbian, this is the permissions that i have in the trash folder http://paste.ubuntu.com/463680/ [21:15] DCat, Under bindings tab do you see Expo Edge ?? === avar is now known as avar-fail [21:15] edbian, yep [21:15] thats what im trying to find out@vigo i have ubuntu 10.4 i thought it was pre installed [21:15] edbian, so it's all about this lunch interface:) [21:15] Monty: i've got the standard ones included with X installed. [21:15] maiko, I'm not sure! :( Sorry [21:16] DCat, Change the edge to top left [21:16] trill: Normally it is in Internet , GUI, [21:16] I Was reading earlier that all ports on a new install start set to Allow all. and that you have to manually change them with iptables or ufw, is this true [21:16] k brb [21:16] wow thanks! [21:16] k..my xorg.conf used the official matrox one [21:16] fiver22: i don't know any fix. It appears that the volume slider pulls down alsa Master until ~20%, and the last ~20% it then pulls down PCM and LFE. I don't know why it does it this way. My point is that there is an intentional "behavior" for the bottom ~20%. [21:16] DCat, Now press back and it should be working. Touch the mouse to the top left corner [21:16] DCat, You got it? [21:16] tech2077: I'm asking in #xorg. I'll let you know if they have any clues [21:16] could anyone with my ip just walk in at the moment [21:16] edbian, thats all i really need.. for some reason my CTRL-ALT arrows function died.. and I missed it :/ [21:16] MetalGeek_N00b, Yes [21:16] edbian, yes it works fine [21:16] MetalGeek_N00b: they can't just walk in [21:17] I am having difficulty logging into my cups server (at http://localhost:631). Although my username is a member of the lpadmin group, cups does not validate my password. Any suggestions? [21:17] I dont have a GUI option [21:17] mikm, ok [21:17] under internet [21:17] anyone? [21:17] MetalGeek_N00b: but if you want firewall install firestarter for an example [21:17] when 10.10 comes out I am rebuilding this box, so maybe my CTRL-ALT arrows thing will come back :) [21:17] thanks, thune3 -it's a small annoyance, I suppose [21:17] thx edbian [21:17] thats a gui though, i wanna learn cli [21:17] MetalGeek_N00b, You're not running any software right now that listens for people to walk in. (e.g. you don't have a door to walk into) [21:17] MetalGeek_N00b: the iptables [21:18] trill: I do not have it installed, but I think it is in Applications>Internet, on Gnome [21:18] MetalGeek_N00b: run "man iptables" in cli and start writing rules :) [21:18] MetalGeek_N00b, iptables -L lists all your current rules. You can add rules to block network traffic for various reasons. It is very complex and very powerful. [21:18] DCat, No problem :) [21:18] DCat, Most plugins support screen edges but not all of them. [21:18] Why I can't move my files to trash, I get this message: "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?\n\nThe file "untitled folder" cannot be moved to the trash." [cancel][skip][delete]. It happens in all my partitions, ext4, fat32 and ntfs [21:18] MetalGeek_N00b, I'm still trying to figure out netstat too so this is a learning experience for both of us :) [21:18] edbian, while i am at it, do you know of a good primer/read on compiz? i dont even know where to begin understanding it [21:18] lxsys, if you want to give them a try: http://projects.tuxx-home.at/mga/drivers/latest/ (i would suggest 4.4.4, but don't know if they wwork with current kernel versions) [21:19] edbian, but i also read that manually manipulating iptables messes with networkmanager gui in gnome [21:19] People, how do I disble audio jack autodetection? [21:19] DCat, I learned most of what I know about it by tinkering with ccsm. the keybindings tab is probably the most useful on every plugin. I'm not sure of a good read for it. man compiz perhaps?? [21:19] lxsys, and you have to update the PCI-line in my xorg.conf regarding to your lspci output [21:19] i still don't see it , could it be anywhere else [21:20] <|jonathan|> i cannot fix my dialup prblem it says modem is not responding in wvdial can anyone help me with it [21:20] <|jonathan|> plz [21:20] MetalGeek_N00b, perhaps. Depends on the rules you create. However I suggest messing with it and when it causes a problem to flush all the rules you created using iptables -F [21:20] m4v? [21:20] x) [21:20] <|jonathan|> i am using ubuntu 10.04 [21:20] MetalGeek_N00b, You're not going to learn anything if you're too afraid to tinker now and then :) [21:20] edbian, i dont have the courage you do.. and i cant mess with compiz in a vm that i know of. :) Ill check the man pages/youtube and the googles... cheers. [21:20] MetalGeek_N00b, I can't tell you the number of times I've almost hosed my entire system :) [21:21] DCat, Ha :) Have fun! :) [21:21] I Input iptables -L and this happened [21:21] FATAL: Error inserting ip_tables (/lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko): Operation not permitted [21:21] iptables v1.4.4: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Permission denied (you must be root) [21:21] Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. [21:21] marcus@marcus-matrix:~$ [21:21] MetalGeek_N00b: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:21] I never thought of my curiosity as daring the way you people do :) [21:21] MetalGeek_N00b: try sudo iptables -L [21:21] MetalGeek_N00b, You don't need to upgrade it. You just gave a faulty command with bad syntax. To view the rules you have right now: sudo iptables -L [21:22] edbian, i dont mind screwing with things i mildly understand, but that was the MOST time i ever spent in the compiz config. [21:22] MetalGeek_N00b, There is a lot to learn about iptables [21:22] Searched google and I can't find an answer for this. I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. The clock in my taskbar is now stuck at 1:57pm, but my system clock is correct... [21:22] MetalGeek_N00b: use sudo iptables -L [21:22] <|jonathan|> MetalGeek_N00b hey can u solve my problem with wvdial dial up problem [21:22] DCat, ha ha! I practically lived there the month after I discovered it. [21:22] does anyone else have any ideas [21:22] trill, Does the webcam show up in the output of lspci? What program are you trying to use with your cam??

[21:23] trill: what's the problem [21:23] MetalGeek_N00b, this is the command: "sudo iptables -L" without quotes. That runs the command as root. [21:23] thanks Vigo_ and soreau [21:23] razer: yes [21:23] at work for office 2007 [21:23] trill, when hitting ALT-F2 does ekiga load? [21:23] run sudo as root?

[21:32] guntbert, thanks, I will do a google for it [21:32] Is there a (CLI, obviously) tool to perform reverse IP checks in the repos? e.g. I have an IP and want to see what hostnames are assigned to it (or what hosts are on the same IP as one specified) [21:32] Hi, I'm having problems with firefox in 10.04 after one of the latest upgrades. It wont start at all neither in regular or in safe mode. Any known issues? Removing my ~/.mozilla helps a little while but then it stops working again. (Without me adding or changing anything) [21:32] hilko, i had this problem on various machines...like the one i am on right now. i had to install an elder ubuntu version and dist upgrade to get around it... hope this helps. [21:32] wizard_: http://xbmc.org/ [21:32] guntbert, thanks mate [21:32] hilko, if it helps, i had to use 9.04... on this dell, ubuntu cd's past 9.04 dont load [21:32] wizard_: :) [21:32] Somehow I managed to mess up my X server. On startup, it tries to start X, then goes to a terminal login. running "startx" has no errors, and the log has only a couple of wanrings. [21:33] alexander_: I found this on google, maybe it will help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [21:33] Vigo_, thanks 4 pointing out. i like plain xchat [21:33] Flakeparadigm: I think what you messed up is GDM, not the xserver... Ugh... I'm being forced to go off now. Willl see you all later [21:33] scp P1010[680-709].JPG me@you.com:~/pics/ # what is wrong with this regexp? [21:34] Yashy: try #bash for that [21:34] Yashy: what happens when you type it? [21:34] peter__, couldn't reproduce that..if i remove the clock-applet by clicking directly on the date (not next to it, where my notification area sits), my clock disappears... [21:34] For the record, I'm not using GDM... [21:34] eSaj| You are quite welcome, I just tried a few out myself. there are many new ones, it appears. [21:35] Looks like I can't boot my mac from lucid install disc. I can see 'ISOLINUX' text mode prompt, then a graphical screen flashes with two icons at the bottom, and I'm back at text mode. Is there some specific instruction for mac to install lucid? [21:35] dcat o0 wow well if thats the case.. it may help but its too much work for me to load the image etc.. the pc doesnt boot from usb. i am working ion the machine right now. the live cd did work fina too... dod yours? [21:35] Vigo, i am installing ekiga , do you know whats the next step [21:35] Yashy, [] works with ranges, but of characters, not numbers. And bash (by default) works with fileglobs, which are not regexpes [21:35] hilko, nothing past ubuntu 9.04 [21:36] Monty: i have two clocks in the same panel [21:36] trill: From Synaptic or Software Center? [21:36] Yashy: for a number range in bash, it is {680..709} not [680-709] [21:36] hilko, just down an older ubuntu and find out :) [21:36] from a terminakl [21:36] terminal* [21:36] * DCat back in a bit.. [21:36] one is the clock and the other is a part of the notification area (it only disappears if i remove the notification area) === DCat is now known as DCat_AFK [21:36] trill: Are you using a CLI only or a GUI? [21:36] GUI [21:37] hi, my firefox 3.6 say :Warning: Unknown property 'zoom'. Declaration dropped.

Which method is best to ensure that I copy all files, including hidden ones? [21:38] dcat hm nah i am giving this pc away to a friend and i thought i would try to install ubuntu on it for him to test. but thats too much a fuss for me. i will just clear up the hdd and give it to him in empty state.. thansk anyway [21:38] trill: ok, which one? [21:38] the gui is ubuntu 10.04 right? [21:38] dcat too bad ubuntu 10.1. is this crappy.. this will drive away many potential users i am sure [21:38] 10.4 of course [21:39] lol [21:39] trill: Gnome, KDE, LXDE, there are many, the default is Gnome, yes [21:39] oh okay. Im using gnome [21:40] <|jonathan|> hello [21:40] hello [21:40] is there a way to turn off specific HD? [21:40] Loshki how do I check this: If this occurs, verify the device is indeed not mounted, clean out /media/ipod, verify the permissions are correct, and mount again as your normal user. [21:41] trill: After it is installed, there should be a GUI for it that runs setup and such, It is like most any SIP service. [21:42] woah loshki scratch that I think it's working?! [21:42] o ok it just popped up [21:43] <|jonathan|> hello [21:43] If dd gives segfault while reading /dev/mem -- is it 'cause i'm reading protected area or 'cause it's a dd's bug? [21:43] Different much easier question now: can I xfer a file betwix my virtual windows box and real Linux box? [21:43] hi [21:43] trill: Here is the home page:> http://ekiga.org/ [21:44] trill: Yes, it is pretty much point and click with that and a few others, have fun! [21:44] alexander_: what type of software are you using to host the virtual machine? [21:44] cjsurr: there are many ways to do such a copy. "cp -a [21:44] virtualbox ose === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [21:45] <|jonathan|> who is a wvdial expert here [21:45] cjsurr: is one way [21:45] k, thanks. but after i finish installing ekiga can i use my web cam with other programs [21:45] thune3: Thank you i'll try that. And will it preserve all permissions? === thomas__ is now known as thomashc [21:45] racethesunlive virtualbox ose [21:46] alexander_: you can transfer files back and forth using the shared folder options [21:46] alexander_: on the windows box it'll be under //vboxsvr/foldername [21:46] trill: I think so, yes, if it does not function, you may need to hang on the Forums a bit. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1408679&highlight=ekiga [21:47] ok thanks vigo [21:47] thune3: Also, how do exclude directories such as /proc, /mnt [21:47] roger thanks I'll get on it racethesunlive [21:47] can I start a screen and move an existing process into the screen? [21:47] can anybody work out why ubuntu is ignoring my xorg.conf? xorg.conf here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/bh7TMH7g [21:47] trill: Ekiga has its own #channel on Freenode , it is in the Help and stuff of that GUI. [21:47] Hey, perhaps this question is silly, but is there a way to make sub-windows opened by applications stay on the same desktop? [21:47] alexander_, alternatively you could setup a samba share for mounting a netdrive in windows [21:47] lxsys: look at your X log and see what it says [21:48] soreau: "Fatal server error: no screens found [21:49] <|jonathan|> no one is helping me [21:49] xyst: Yes, it is called Windowing, or something, AWN, gDesklets, Compiz and other pkgs have that capability. [21:49] is that pretty easy monty I'm not seeing a vboxsvr folder [21:49] |jonathan|: It's possible that no one has an answer for you. [21:49] cjsurr: if you run it as root (sudo), it should preserve mode, ownership, etc. The syntax of copy is "cp -a dir1 dir2 dir3 dir4 target_di\r" so you could just cp the dirs in the root dir that you want. [21:49] |jonathan|: wvdial isent commonly used these days [21:50] |jonathan|: Personally, I don't even know what wvdial is. [21:50] Priswell: used for dial up modems [21:50] alexander_: it wont make the \\vboxsvr network share until you set up a shared folder in the virtualbox settings for that machine [21:50] <|jonathan|> Dr_Willis i have a usb modem .. how can i cinfigure it in ubuntu 10.04 and can use internet can u tell me? [21:50] |jonathan|: You mean a DIAL UP usb modem? [21:50] alexander_, sudo apt-get samba, then edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and see the sample entries... after a restart your share will be available in windows \\ip of host\share [21:50] alexander_: sorry its \\vboxsrv\ not svr [21:50] thune3: thanks.

[21:52] monty yeah I'm reading one thanks [21:52] hi i need some sort of help i got a power point presentation competation in my university and i got topic linux security i need some help on that can any plz! [21:53] Vigo_: do you know more things I can throw into a google search? it appears "windowing" is finding just a bunch of stuff about window managers [21:53] bihari: you mean you want us to do your research for you? [21:54] <|jonathan|> Dr_Willis its not helpful [21:54] not exactly but you can give me some idea and clue [21:54] |jonathan|: be a bit more concise and clear in your questions and comments. [21:54] * GrouchoMarx salutes Dr_Willis [21:54] <|jonathan|> okk [21:54] bihari: theres various 'linux security' web sites that focuses on that topic. [21:55] xyst: I had this conversation yesterday, I think, you mean a ccsm or gdm thing? [21:55] bihari, Don't start by asking in an irc channel. Google it (wikipedia at the very least will be helpful) [21:55] bihari: its a rather large topic. :) [21:55] \join #rack [21:55] !google | bihari [21:55] bihari: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [21:56] Jordan_U, Not what you expected is it :) [21:56] Vigo_: I'm not sure what you're asking there--my google searches for "compiz windowing" and alike aren't yielding anything that says "enable this to turn this on" :) [21:56] Plus i think telling him to hit gogole first.. is a good answer in this case. :) [21:56] I read in the topic/onjoin the channel is logged, maybe I should try to find those.. [21:57] xyst: Yes, [21:57] edbian: No, I knew exactly what message !google produces. [21:57] hey, can anyone tell me where to locate the rhythmbox plugins? [21:57] xyst: Gnome? [21:57] racethesunlive created a shared folder under vbox options but it doesn't show up under network sharing center on the v machine [21:57] how do I connect to wifi via the command line? [21:58] can anybody tell me why my xorg.conf produces a "fatal error: no screens found"???? .conf here : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/H0GAG5Sb thanks [21:58] :( i thought linux lover are here and they can give ,me the answe of my question without wasting my time on google :( but i am wrong [21:58] can i find some direct download links to download not all but many packages for ubuntu as an iso and burn them.. [21:58] Vigo_: yes [21:58] bihari, Nobody here loves linux so much that they want to explain to you an entire field of computer science. [21:58] I think since I'm using "normal" appearance stuff, it's compiz too [21:58] alexander_: you could also try manually entering it in explorer, the path would be \\vboxsrv\sharename [21:59] bihari, That's like walking into a math classroom and asking "hey what's multi-variable calculus?" [21:59] edbian, i have not said that entire word in my question just scroll up and check my sentance [21:59] bihari: you dident actually ask an answerable question that i saw... [22:00] Hello all. I need to have a quick verification to see if I'm doing things right: I have a server I only have remote (SSH) access to and I want to set up a firewall. If I use 'ufw' and I do 'sudo ufw allow ssh/tcp' and the 'sudo uwf enable', am I doing it in the right order to _not_ lock myself out? (I did so yesterday by installing eBox and its firewall plug-in. I had to have my VM re-installed...) [22:00] vboxsvr doesn't exist on my virtual machine racethesunlive [22:00] Dr_Willis, oki i am sory i dont wants any debate i got it what you wants to say [22:00] xyst: It is in the compiz settings manager. [22:00] oi [22:00] Is there some way to burn a LiveDVD that has the latest version of the propietary ATI drivers activated, or that will default to VESA, without being ON Ubuntu to start with? [22:01] hello, I was wondering if someone could help me with my microphone? It was working fine just recently but it stopped working all the sudden no idea when exactly or why. I checked all my connections, alsamixer etc everything looks fine. [22:01] has anybody has success in installing/running vuze in 10.04 64-bit? [22:01] bihari: check delicious.com under the linux and security tags. see what people tag the most. [22:01] can anybody tell me why my xorg.conf produces a "fatal error: no screens found"???? .conf here : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/H0GAG5Sb thanks [22:01] Dr_Willis, thanks thats what i am looking for [22:02] alexander_: you have the guest additions installed on the virtual machine correct? [22:02] bihari: whoch is almost the same as usiong google. :P [22:02] Dr_Willis, hello, I think you helped me before with this microphone issue. was it you? [22:02] Teach a man to fish and ah nevermind! [22:02] xyst: Here is a Forum thread on it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1237277&highlight=customize+workspace [22:02] abuayyoub: proberly not. I rarely do any audio trouble shotoing [22:02] lxsys, could you pastebin the xorg logfile? [22:02] thank you! [22:02] yes but i am not a core linux user [22:02] I'll check that out right now [22:02] Dr_Willis, ok, sorry. [22:02] hello guys [22:02] i thought you guys are and you can give me those link without wasting time on google [22:03] but i dont know some people feel bad [22:03] like Mr edbian he has problem with me [22:03] bihari: it would be a better question for #ubuntu-offtopic also.. since its not a ubuntu-speficic support Question [22:03] someone speak portuguese? [22:03] !pr | bnz [22:03] Vigo_: I installed ccsm earlier, but I didn't find the option jump out on me to help me with this [22:03] bnz: : oi [22:03] Vigo_: unless you are suggesting I add window rules for each app I use [22:03] oi [22:04] bihari, I don't want to argue. I was simply stating that I felt the question was essentially asking us to do the project for you. It was a mis-undestanding. [22:04] Monty: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ureL7TVv [22:04] yes Dr_Willis let me join [22:04] or was it !pt for portiguese [22:04] como posso compilar o ultimo kernel [22:04] !pt | bnz [22:04] bnz: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [22:04] ok [22:04] No Hablo. :) [22:04] Is there some way to burn a LiveDVD that has the latest version of the propietary ATI drivers activated, or that will default to VESA, without being ON Ubuntu to start with? [22:04] no racethesunlive I don't think I did that and I've just checked google and it's still not clear how to do it :p i found instructions for vbox running on windows but not a vbox on ubuntu running windows [22:04] xyst: Maybe here:> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/ConfiguringCompiz [22:04] its oki edbian :) np [22:05] for some reason nobody at freenode will reply to me about my name being logged in lately or not, i wanna get it registered and i'm being completely ignored [22:05] Dunas: theres that 'reconstructor' web site that lets you build your custome ubuntu iso's but im not sure about adding the ati drivers. Check it out I guess. [22:05] alexander_: the reason you cant see the \\vboxsvr network is that guest additions must first be installed on the windows virtual machine [22:05] but they can talk to others [22:05] I just got the most confusing and obnoxious care rep at AT&T today [22:05] screw it, I'll just keep using google voice for my voicemail [22:05] bihari, This site looks pretty good. I don't have experience with it. I just googled it :) http://www.linux-sec.net/ [22:05] Dunas: You could make a custom spin. [22:05] whats the best torrent client in your opinion? [22:06] DrPoO: depends on your specific needs [22:06] DrPoO, rtorrent [22:06] DrPoO: ive been uising the PPA's of the newest Transmission - its worked very well. lacking a few features.. but it works. [22:06] the "install guest additions" option isn't anywhere on the virtualbox menus for me racethesunlive [22:06] Dr_Willis, something like vuze or azureus, was what i had in mind [22:06] BIGSEXY: only staffers can see your questions in #freenode right now and they seem to be rather busy [22:07] DrPoO: that tells me very little of your 'needs' :) [22:07] thank you edbian [22:07] I need to be able to dl magnetic links [22:07] guntbert: how do i know who is a staffer? [22:07] DrPoO: i blive those 2 would be considered rather poor torrent clients. :) [22:07] and i can see questions other people are asking, and i'm not a staffer [22:07] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8JsvwUcok0 [22:07] lxsys, did you read line 20? [22:07] lol [22:07] oh hell [22:07] bihari, Good luck. There is a LOT to learn :) [22:07] what's with my irssi setup [22:07] DrPoO: deluge is another bittorrent [22:07] wrong channel [22:07] snuxoll: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:07] BIGSEXY: may I PM you? [22:07] guntbert: yes [22:08] ya thnks again [22:08] brb [22:08] let me look at the site [22:08] Monty: oh, perhaps that's the wrong log then [22:08] hey boys, i am looking for a better "universal" open-file dialog for ubuntu. is there something i can just install for this? [22:10] alexander_: it should be under devices: at the top of the virtual machines window [22:10] pune, open-file dialog? what do you mean? [22:10] Guys I've never tried xfce before, I'm a bit curious about it, I read it's based on gtk+, does it means that it will run gnome apps natively? [22:10] xavierm: it has some alternatives, but you can install and run gnome apps too [22:10] xavierm, gnome apps are basically just apps that use the gtk toolkit. So yes [22:10] hey if i accidently deleted the bottom panel, how can i get it back? [22:10] racethesunlive it isn't but I found instructions on various commands to run and I'm trying that now [22:11] glick, Go to the top panel. Right click. Add new panel. Wait a moment [22:11] !resetpanels | glick [22:11] glick: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [22:11] DrPoO, i mean the dialog window that programs use when they want the user to open a file. like when you use firefox to upload a image to somewhere. it uses some stock "select your file" dialeg [22:11] cool thanks guys [22:11] edbian, VCoolio time for some fun then, thanks [22:11] glick, not "add to panel" but "new panel" big difference === nick_ is now known as Guest47493 [22:11] xavierm, no problem [22:12] actually racethesunlive "device" isn't even a menu, I've got "machines" [22:12] pune, the dialog-windows will depend on the application that is installed, and not on the OS. However, a lot of applications use gnome [22:12] or kde [22:12] Monty: the xorg logs are all the same, yet I don't have any "ModelName" strings in my xorg.conf [22:13] I installed ubuntu lucid. everything works fine except one problem: sometimes my window managers freeze, but not exactly the entire window manager but rather the windows and the panel. I tried it with xfce and gnome, everywhere the same problem. nothing in x log files or dmesg log files [22:13] any ideas about that? [22:13] DrPoO, so i could change this dialog in gnome, and effectively it will change the dialog used for the gnome programs? [22:13] if i remember correctly there are some cfg.d-folders inside the /etc/X11 folder since karmic...i'll try to figure out [22:13] btw.: graphic card is intel gma 4500M and aiglx is activated (but no fanzy compiz stuff) [22:13] pune, Do you simply want to change the way it looks? or the content? [22:14] @lxsys [22:14] proc kde? [22:14] didn't try [22:14] i want to completely change its behavior. [22:14] blain, it's the same with xfce and gnome, so you really think it's going to better with kde? [22:14] sure, kde is better [22:15] gnah [22:15] doubt it, but ok [22:15] I'll give it a shot [22:15] can anyone help me to setup dhcp3-server? [22:15] suite yourself [22:15] Try it with icewm :) [22:15] blain: better how? [22:15] lxsys, could you make a [grep -ir "modelname" *] within /etc/X11 and see if there's a config file ? [22:15] How can I start VNC server? [22:15] I am in Ubuntu 10.04 GUI now [22:15] vncserver [22:15] pune, then you should problably go to #gnome [22:15] alguien habla español? [22:16] yo [22:16] barfster: gnome has one built in. Its in the menus some where [22:16] marfu20 no porque? [22:16] marfu20 [22:16] Dr_Willis: But is it called VNC? [22:16] marfu20, yo hablo [22:16] Monty: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/XBSq0KEE [22:16] xD [22:16] Sorry for the noob question, but running Karmic, I'd like to rip a CD to MP3. Google tells me to use Sound Juicer but I don't have that and it mentions something about a bug that causes bad MP3's. Anyone done it recently? [22:16] Or some weird Remote Desktop naming? [22:16] Rabbitbunny: check out abcde [22:16] barfster, System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop [22:16] bihari: you might try ##security... [22:16] barfster: its using vnc. I dont know the name in the menu. the acutal name of the vncserver its uisng is 'vino' i think [22:17] Remote Desktop is weird? :) [22:17] sorry racethesunlive I'm just not getting this... there is no devices menu and I just did everything instructed by this on site, had me doin sudo get-apt upgrade/update n such... still nothing [22:17] Remote Desktop != vino [22:17] thank you Loshki [22:17] VCoolio: Thanks, looking now. [22:17] !info vino [22:17] anyone know how i can install ubuntu desktop without xwindows? [22:17] vino (source: vino): VNC server for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 2.28.2-0ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 166 kB, installed size 2840 kB [22:18] yo people im totaly new into ubuntu server and i dont know cool things to do ... anyone ideas [22:18] !es | marfu20 [22:18] marfu20: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[22:19] abys, maybe try desktop version [22:19] yes :) im on the desktop :) [22:20] lxsys, are you really sure, that the logfile is procuded with the pasted xorg.conf and a "stop gdm" and a "start gdm" from cli? [22:20] what is that alexander_ ? [22:20] im already using ubuntu desktop for a year [22:20] not sure, something that makes virtual box transfer files? [22:20] abys, isnt that enough? [22:20] alexander_: the virtualbox menu item for that - mounts a 'iso file' that then has the binaries to run. [22:20] Dr_Willis there is no menu item for that, any ideas? [22:20] Monty: um, I'm just going to put irssi on tty1 and restart X. [22:20] alexander_: isn't there directions on the vbox website? [22:20] How to customize the workspace switcher? I want to write text on each [22:21] alexander_: should be ione in the menus of the virtualbox window that th guest os is running in,. [22:21] Hmm VNC logs in, but screen is black... [22:21] abys server won't be much different except no X [22:21] /etc/network/interfaces is no more on 10.04? [22:21] oooooooooh got it thanks dr_willis [22:21] alexander_: where were you looking? :) [22:21] abys, there is no purpose going server. esp when looking for 'cool' things to do [22:22] no but i said that wrong :) [22:22] Monty: what was it I should do? [22:22] abys, say it right [22:23] say it right, nelly furtado [22:23] hey guys, just install ubuntu 10.4 and sound does not work. ny suggestions? [22:23] Using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid, is it possible to change the trigger limits on the battery panel widget so that it does not turn red until, say, 15min? It's red now and I have over an hour left. [22:23] lxsys, make sure, that the xorg.conf has no "modelname" and then pastein a fresh logfile, after you verified, that it's fresh :) [22:23] hello if i sha256sum a file and the code it returns matches the code of another file, does it means they are exactly the same and none have not even a tiny bit different? is there anything better than sha256sum (say sha1024sum perhaps :P) i don't care if it takes a bit longer to calculate the code =) [22:23] blain, lol [22:23] i can her the static from the mic but that is it [22:24] i wanna have a file server but thats not dificult , but i guess i can explore more when i run a server at my home... Like pen testing i really wanna get into that genre of using computers [22:24] <[4-tea-2]> Howdy. Evolution just started to claim that all the SSL certs of several of my mail providers have turned "bad". Is that a known issue, possibly related to a recent Ubuntu update? [22:24] Monty: it has no "modelname", should I delete the X logs and restart X? [22:24] <[4-tea-2]> (among them is the cert for pop.gmail.com) [22:24] abys sudo apt-get install proftpd [22:25] talfeo: I had good luck fixing 10.04 sound by following the 'nosound' link in this article: http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/937-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-1004-lts-lucid-lynx (see 'nosound' in the 2nd paragraph). [22:25] lxsys, so be sure, yes [22:25] And i tried doing that with a virtual lab in virtualbox, but the way i wanted it was to difficult for me ... [22:26] it said i have too many nicknames registered to register another. i dropped 2. how come i can't register one? [22:26] thanks Loshki, i'll give it a try [22:26] can anyone reply me please =) [22:26] me please =) [22:26] asdfasdfasdfasdf: here is your reply... [22:27] hehe thanks that's what i wanted :D [22:27] what's wrong asdfasdfasdfasdf [22:27] i stated the question up, here it is again : if i sha256sum a file and the code it returns matches the code of another file, does it means they are exactly the same and none have not even a tiny bit different? is there anything better than sha256sum (say sha1024sum perhaps :P) i don't care if it takes a bit longer to calculate the code =). [22:28] if you could guide me to find my SQL injection tutorial ??? [22:28] hello all I tried to install automatix but get this error Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python2.5 [22:28] hi [22:28] asdfasdfasdfasdf: to answer your question, if the sha256sum is the same, your files are identical. A collision (false positive) is so rare as to not be worth bothering about... [22:28] i have python installed [22:28] <[4-tea-2]> Bueller? Anyone? [22:28] Is there some way to burn a LiveDVD that has the latest version of the propietary ATI drivers activated, or that will default to VESA, without being ON Ubuntu to start with? [22:28] wizard__: !!!?? automatix is obsolete an was awfull even in its glory days ( circa 2006 ) [22:29] !automatix | wizard__ [22:29] wizard__: Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported, or needed by Ubuntu.

[22:29] !ubuntutweak [22:29] asdfasdfasdfasdf: if you want a second check, just use cmp or diff to compare the files... [22:29] !search tweak [22:29] Found: [22:29] Monty: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/sRBsYwzq [22:29] Loshki, interesting ive heard about the diff command, is it better? (thing is do not have the other file to compare here, i only have sha256sum code, though it is possible to get it.) [22:29] !find tweak [22:29] Found: mousetweaks, freqtweak, gtweakui, tweak [22:29] ah lol [22:30] !tweak [22:30] wizard__: depends on what you really want to do [22:30] <[4-tea-2]> I'll offer a picture of a bottle of wine to anyone who knows something about my problem and is willing to share the info. [22:30] did I get caught up in a netsplit? [22:30] nop lxsys [22:30] Heck of a support channel here :( [22:31] Dr_Willis, I am just looking for top programs on ubuntu it named it so I though I'd install and play around with it [22:31] Loshki, any interesting difference between sha256 and sha512? [22:31] but never installed [22:31] wizard__: try ubuntu-tweak and the getdeb web site [22:31] asdfasdfasdfasdf: hash lenght ? speed ? [22:31] hi can someone please help me with a bum microphone? [22:31] wizard__: and explore the pacakge manager [22:31] erUSUL, uhm would you please explain [22:32] asdfasdfasdfasdf: diff is better when you have two text files and want to see exactly how they differ (for tracking source code changes). A sha256sum is usually all you need to decide if two files are the same or not. For ordinary file comparision, sha512 is not noticeably any better than sha256.... [22:32] asdfasdfasdfasdf: dunno what do you call interesting? [22:32] Sorry boys noobie question upcomming.. how do i get to home\user\maildir in putty aigien ? cd home works for home.. but i can get longer in :S [22:32] <[4-tea-2]> Well, not that y'all have earned it, not helping with that Cert issue and all, but still, here it is: http://mutantenstadl.de/uploads/Illustrationen/ubuntu-wein1.jpg [22:32] Dunas: you can build custome isos here ---> https://build.reconstructor.org/ [22:32] asdfasdfasdfasdf: or better yet; why do you want to know? or what are you trying to do ? [22:32] Dr_Willis, thanks I will do :) [22:32] asdfasdfasdfasdf: sha512 is more secure, but you only have to worry about that if the NSA is trying to sneek in mallicious files with a colliding sha256 sum (which is incredibly hard to make). [22:33] Erag0n00: its cd / not \ and use the Tab key to complete file names. [22:33] !remaster | Dunas [22:33] Dunas: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD?

[22:34] I installed guest additions but vboxsvr still doesn't exist. I shared the folder "Public" but it won't give me permission to do stuff to it. trying to move a file from virtual wind0z to real Ubuntu [22:34] erUSUL, i wanted to know if 2 files were different. Loshki Jordan_U i see thanks. [22:35] tryed dident work still get back inn root ..:S [22:35] asdfasdfasdfasdf: use "cmp" [22:35] alexander_: did you install guest additions on windows? [22:35] hei, how can i cancel a package (kopete) because the webcam is not working anymore. i want to cancel the package , and reinstall it new from the beginning [22:35] OK, I need help, readu anybody, its about ubuntu servers are they temp down cause my Update Manager does NOT work and Synaptic does give back error too? [22:35] yes ChogyDan [22:35] alexander_: you do relaize that with virtualbox and the gust/host OS you can use several methods to transfer files across as if they were on the same lan? you could use ssh/scp samba, nfs, ftp. or the special Vbox shared directory. [22:35] SawyerLX, did you try another mirror? [22:36] DCAt with update manager [22:36] alexander_: for some quick transfers you couls use ssh and winscp [22:36] Dr_Willis yeah I mean I'm just trying to get it done I'd use any technique but I couldn't find clear samba instructions... those sound cool [22:36] Sawblade5, try the best mirror option [22:36] ionut: apt-get install --reinstall kopete (or via synaptic) should reinstall the package [22:36] Quick question when installing postfix. do i need to install Maildir at the same time or is that installed auto? [22:36] alexander_: check the virtualbox docs also for inro on setting up that share. or just use ssh and winscp. [22:36] Do you know what is wrong with "pydoc" command? [22:37] Loshki: done, thanks [22:37] It seems to run two programs whenever I type in "pydoc" [22:37] lxsys, could you remove the VertRefresh and the HorSync lines? [22:37] i think foend problem, ... [22:37] found [22:37] SawyerLX, :) [22:37] Erag0n00: postfix can be a bear to configure. Also try asking on #postfix.... === DCat_AFK is now known as DCat [22:37] I don't really know how to use ftp and stuff Dr_Willis what's the easiest way to do this? are there guides? [22:37] The Python documentation program, and some speech dispatcher program. Both with the same command-line arguments. === DCat is now known as DCat_ [22:37] Monty_ did you get the logs?? [22:37] lxsys, and than please paste the logfile again...the logfile does also say, that you need the official matrox module for using dualhead === DCat_ is now known as DCat-- [22:37] thanks [22:37] yes [22:38] is there an eays way to view the changelog of a package you have installed/ [22:38] Monty_ : is line 312 an issue? [22:38] alexander_: virtualbox has docs.. and a manual.. and the other services are all documented at differnt places. its as if you have 2 pcs on a lan. You can install ssh on the linux box. and winscp ion the windows box and transfer stuff that way very easially if you wanted to [22:38] !ssh | alexander_ [22:38] alexander_: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [22:39] lxsys, an issue is, that X use the sync values from config, which does not seem to match with the one of your monitor. so you could remove them and let X try to autodetect... [22:39] Monty: ok I'll remove them and restart X [22:39] hi I am trying to ping my router or any other website from my linux box running on Vbox on windows, bt with error : "bad address" .. what could be the problem? [22:40] amit08: can it actually get to the web sites in a browser? [22:40] anyone have recommendations on getting sound to play on *two* linux boxes from one of them- in other words connect to the sound server on another machine in parallel? [22:40] @Dr_Willis: yes it can .. actually I am running IRC on the same linux box. === thomas__ is now known as thomashc === test is now known as Guest42043 [22:41] gagzilla: pulse audio can do that. You can sound from PC1 - to the speakers of PC2.. or use the mic on pc2. to record on pc1 [22:41] Hmmmm such a big channel [22:42] gagzilla: maybe in #pulseaudio know [22:42] Monty_: restarted, would the logs be of any use? [22:42] yes [22:42] Dr_Willis, thanks! I will look into that [22:42] amit08: sounds like the router mauy be blocking things.. or vboxc's network config is [22:42] erUSUL, thanks [22:42] lxsys, does one monitor work? [22:42] gagzilla: theres several Pulse audio tools in the repo you need to install and tweak the security settings [22:42] Monty_: yes, but still no monitor two === name is now known as Guest27930 [22:42] TinFury: its actually a slow day today in here. [22:42] slow? [22:43] Hi everyone [22:43] is there a program that allows me to take mp4 files, remove the actual video, and save it as a music media file? [22:43] Dr_Willis, seems like there should be a page describing this as a howto. if I don't find one I'll write one up [22:43] i'm trying to compile froggatto, and I'm getting a message "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL" but I have a /usr/lib/libGL.so and /usrlib/libGL.la [22:43] any ideas on what I'm missing? [22:43] gagzilla: i saw some mention in the forums/pulse pages.. but never ntoiced a actual guide [22:44] Dr_Willis: Hmmm [22:44] lxsys: yes, that's because your logfile says: (EE) MGA(1): This card requires the "mga_hal" module for dual-head operation. It can be found at the Matrox web site [22:44] @Dr_willis : But if that's the case how am i able to connect using IRC and also I can browse on my browser .... its only ping thats now working [22:44] sorry Dr_willis I hate to be so useless but there's all these host name address options and stuff I don't even know where to begin? I have open-ssh on linux and putty and winscp on wind0z now... [22:44] checked out dev google chrome 6, did not work, uninsdtalled via dpkg and screwed package manager all up, i think. [22:44] gagzilla: from my notes on memoserv on the topic ---> install paprefs and pavucontrol, set auth off in paprefs, then use the pulse gnome applet to set default pulse server [22:45] alexander_: use the ip's not the names [22:45] alexander_: run winscp on windows. connect to the ip of the linux machine. [22:45] Dr_Willis, thanks looking into this [22:46] connection refused dr_willis I used a "whats my ip address" website [22:46] alexander_: internal lan ip. [22:46] hello all, let me start out by saying yes i have google my problem, so please dont say google it, and not looking to be flammed becuase the answer might be painfully obviuos to you(but is not to me) [22:46] alexander_: thats your wan/routers ip. :) not the lan ip [22:47] Bridge|A whats up [22:47] alexander_: check with ifconfig [22:47] anyone have a problem before where bios and windows can see my linux partition but the live cd cannot [22:47] ? [22:47] ifconfig eth0 [22:47] no [22:47] foxconn?

[22:48] but livecd cannot mount hdd and find it in /media after [22:48] like usual [22:48] Bridge|A: but ive not seen any difinitive reason/fox. [22:48] If I planned to dual-boot the best way would probably be to first install Windows and then Ubuntu right? [22:48] Bridge|A: you have tried mounting it by hand? [22:48] hi, could someone spare time to talk partions in linux ubuntu ll [22:48] cryzed: yes [22:48] Dr_Willis, alright [22:48] not via terminal or anmything [22:48] Monty_ : do I just put it in the xorg.conf file and restart X then? [22:48] but usually under places i clickmthe hdd and it pops up [22:49] MetalGeek_N00b, how so? [22:49] cryzed yes [22:49] MetalGeek_N00b: how to partition? normal layout for me --> (windows)(/ for linux) (/home) (swap) 4 primary partitions [22:49] access denied Dr_willis used my ISP login + pw [22:49] blain, thanks [22:49] * vsk good night crazypeople :P [22:49] cryzed use LVM for linux [22:49] gparted doe4snt pick up the disk either [22:49] Bridge|A: dont confuse the 'auto mounting' of filesystems with mounting by hand/not seen proboekms. :) [22:49] ok [22:49] blain, hrm? Why not first install Windows on the whole hard-disk and then repartition with the Ubuntu setup and shrink the Windows partitions therewhile [22:49] lemme look into that [22:49] alexander_: you are sshing into your linux box.. you use your linux users name/pass [22:49] brb [22:50] alexander_: as if you were on a local lan with 2 pc's - nothing to do with your ISp [22:50] lxsys, no, you need to download, then maybe compile and finally install it. but i would try to do a websearch for ubuntu "mga_hal" maybe there are some packages or howtos available... [22:50] cryzed sure, but LVM will allow you to expand and shrink paritions in linux and do concatening [22:50] alexander_: run ifconfig on the linux box. check your ip#' [22:51] blain, LVM = Logical Volume Manager? I don't really know much about it but seems a bit too much of a hassle if I'm only setting it up once and then not planning on resizing the partitions constantly [22:51] alright I'm in now thanks so much Dr_Willis [22:51] cryzed ok suite yourself [22:51] blain, sorry I didn't mean to offend you [22:51] but it's pretty easy [22:51] does this channel have a handy java chat applet anywhere on the web?

What I need is to be able to remove grub from a specific partition on an internal hard drive, and then install the Windows 7 bootloader which I assume is MBR. All these to be done in a simple Lucid terminal. It was only a few commands, if anyone could helo [23:13] me out, i'd be very grateful! === SlidingHorn_out is now known as slidinghorn [23:15] hello [23:15] is someone else there? [23:15] agony: No. [23:15] agony, I'm here! [23:15] agony, they lie. [23:16] avi_: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" make sure that *no* partitions are selected, then follow: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector [23:16] Jordan_U! You were the guy who helped me last weekend! [23:16] Why I can't move my files to trash, I get this message: "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?\n\nThe file "untitled folder" cannot be moved to the trash." [cancel][skip][delete]. It happens in all my partitions, ext4, fat32 and ntfs [23:16] Ah, that [23:16] 's it. Thanks mate.

[23:17] nicxvan, did you try synaptic first? [23:17] what is synaptic [23:17] is it possible to upgrade my computer to 10.10 without burning a live cd? [23:18] nicxvan, click system, administration and load it up [23:18] rallias, you can try a dist upgrade [23:18] rallias, No because 10.10 is not out yet. It will come out in Octoboer [23:18] October* [23:18] Doh! [23:18] rallias, Once it is out than you can upgrade to it using the update manager (you don't have to burn a CD) [23:18] I guess alpha releases arent even out heh [23:19] where can i find the deb http://... things for 10.10? [23:19] ok i have synaptic open it's downloading some stuff [23:19] i have some ssh private keys [23:19] how do i set them in my terminal [23:19] Why I can't move my files to trash, I get this message: "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?\n\nThe file "untitled folder" cannot be moved to the trash." [cancel][skip][delete]. It happens in all my partitions, ext4, fat32 and ntfs [23:19] rallias, They don't exist yet. 10.10 doesn't come out until October. [23:20] nicxvan, you should visit this site. http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com [23:20] Where's the logfile for gparted? [23:22] dcat thanks [23:24] hoping this is something positive [23:24] any suggestions for a gui to manipulste iptables [23:24] MetalGeek_N00b, firestarter [23:24] in dev i can see sda1 which isnt my windows hdd [23:24] before i try on cli [23:24] but i tried [23:24] ubuntu@ubuntu:/dev$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 [23:24] mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [23:24] no luck [23:24] firestarter, good for noob? [23:24] MetalGeek_N00b, Better than cli. [23:24] MetalGeek_N00b, I'm not sure if there even is another gui for iptables [23:25] should i download firestarter from cli [23:25] MetalGeek_N00b, sudo apt-get install firestarter (pretty sure it's in the repos) [23:26] it is [23:26] iptables (AFAIK) has no gui, there are apps(like firestarter) that manipulate iptable settings [23:26] hope that helps [23:26] if i can see /dev/sda1 (sda == windows sda1 should be linux) how would i hand mount it [23:26] Jordan_U, I'm issuing the sudo install-mbr /dev/sdX command, is there any reason why I can't use /sda3? That's the partition for Windows 7 on the triple-boot machine im working with. Or does it /have/ to be just /sda? Because I don't think the latter would work.. [23:26] althought lshw doesnt show the drive [23:26] MetalGeek_N00b, gufw is a good beginner firewall [23:26] but i can see the drive in windows [23:27] Bridge|A, Does the drive show up in sudo fdisk -l ?? [23:27] no [23:28] bios and windows seem to be the only thing to see it [23:28] Bridge|A, Then the kernel doesn't even see that there is a drive connected. I suspect either hardware or driver issue. [23:28] its on its way, thanks peeps [23:28] avi_: install-mbr should only be used on the mbr, like /dev/sda, not on a partition boot record (PBR) like /dev/sda1. [23:28] was working perferctly fine this morning till i screwed grub up then did bootrec /fixmbr in ms dos [23:28] :( [23:29] avi_: If you need to fix the windows PBR, then use the link I gave. [23:29] Okay, thanks. Will do. [23:29] Is the a gparted log somewhere? [23:30] there* [23:32] Dr_Willis: Hello Again [23:32] Why I can't move my files to trash, I get this message: "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?\n\nThe file "untitled folder" cannot be moved to the trash."
