[00:00] :P [00:00] Seveas: thanks [00:01] Shiba: I suspect #ubuntu-offtopic would be more appreciative of your humor ;P [00:01] Shiba, please keep the chatter/nonsense to yourself [00:01] okay, sorry :) [00:01] that guy just reminded me of hte movie :) [00:02] aeon-ltd: Ahhh... I learned something. sudo gedit... awesome. [00:02] gksudo gedit is a better idea [00:03] aeon-ltd: restart nessessary? [00:03] shurathing: try nano. its so much better than vi. [00:03] Shiba: don't know what nano or vi are. [00:03] shurathing: nano is a console text editor [00:03] shurathing: shouldn't need to restart [00:04] so is VI, but using VI is like using a sandpaper condom... [00:04] you just don't do it (tm) :) [00:04] Shiba: Ahh.. kk. I'll look into that if I'm going to do more terminal stuff [00:04] shurathing: in some circumstances you may need to just to re-parse the files [00:04] i installed ubuntu 9.04 on linode.com before i learned about the Long Term Support versions like lucid lynx. is there an easy way to upgrade to lynx or does it require a entire reinstall? [00:04] an [00:04] ubottu: upgrade | neekers [00:04] neekers: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [00:05] rww: gnome-shell won't install due to xulrunner being too new. [00:05] thanks [00:05] neekers: you can do an in-place upgrade [00:05] Help! I press backspace in AbiWord and often get more than one character deleted! [00:05] neekers: read the documentation first though [00:05] Muscovy: Hrm, I thought that got fixed. One sec. [00:05] gryllida, try pressing it for a shorter time :) [00:05] noob question; how do i know from which repo a package come? [00:05] eMyller, apt-cache policy packagename [00:05] i will definitely read the docs, just scared with all my websites running and mysql and mail server etc... [00:06] does anyone know a system info program with a lot of detail, besides hwinfo? [00:06] eMyller, the one with *** is the installed one [00:06] hylian: lshw [00:06] Seveas: thanks :D [00:06] neekers: the docs include instructions that direct you to make backups of *everything* [00:06] Seveas, it deleted whole next line very often, I press it once only, doesn't happen in other applications. [00:06] neekers: always assume the worst. in this case that means total data loss. [00:06] rvw thanx [00:06] aeon-ltd: Should I get some kind of audio confermation when hitting the volume keys? I'm getting no sound still. [00:07] neekers: dump your MySQL databases and tar up your websites [00:07] shiba: well my wordpress sites and db are fully backed up, and that is where most of my IP is... [00:07] shurathing: test it with a video again [00:07] Seveas, any idea? [00:07] gryllida, none at all [00:07] neekers: well do it again, just prior to the actual upgrade [00:07] upgraded to 10.04 keyboard works mouse dont. Any hints? [00:08] Seveas: same result for Edit - Cut. [00:08] I need to remove a host from my ~/.ssh/knownhosts... but i can't work out which one it is because all the hostnames are in md5 or sha or something. [00:08] aeon-ltd: just did... still no audio [00:08] roved2101, what kind of mouse? [00:08] Muscovy: Oh, I see. It's currently not installable due to a stable release upgrade to xulrunner. There's an update to fix this problem in lucid-proposed, so it should be fixed in lucid-updates soon. The relevant bug report is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gjs/+bug/608940 [00:08] shurathing: damn, experimental but you could restart [00:08] airtonix, if you need to remove it because ssh is complaining about a key mismatch, it usually reports a linenumber as well [00:09] aeon-ltd: agreed... brb [00:09] Seveas ps2 [00:09] rww: Could it be fixed by manually installing the package in lucid-proposed? [00:10] airtonix, you can also use ssh-keygen -F (see man ssh-keygen) [00:10] Seveas, cheers [00:10] Muscovy: Installing the -proposed package would fix it, yes. The last comment in the bug report has a link that explains how to do that. [00:10] Ok, thanks! === Putr is now known as Putr|Away [00:12] Ok, full question once again. When I hit edit-cut, or DEL, or BACKSPACE in AbiWord, I often get more than one char (always after the current one) deleted, like half of next line or so, instead of just one char. Why and how can I set it to work normally? It does not happen in other applications. [00:13] gryllida, have you asked in #abiword? [00:13] aeon-ltd: restarted... I think I botched something because now I don't even have the visual indication that I'm hitting the volume buttons.

[00:57] ilovefairuz: many thanks I shall give it gander [00:57] then i restarted my vps and now its only got the one ip again :( [00:57] ilovefairuz i was attempting at installing my own respin from ubuntu minimal and it died :-D ilovefairuz sda1 [00:57] ilovefairuz i was attempting at installing my own respin from ubuntu minimal on sda2 [00:58] I have a program that I am attempting to compile, it requires pthread. Upon trying to compile the compiler throws an that says that it cannot compile and gives the error (ld: cannot find -lthr) and then exits due to the error. I have pointed the pthread.h file directly and it still gives this error. Any thoughts? [00:58] ilovefairuz the only idea I had was to mount the partition and run update-grub [00:58] econdudeawesome: meaning you have two installations now? one working and one broke? [00:59] ilovefairuz as far as I know, because I can access the data on sda1 and reformatted sda2 (where the broken install was) [00:59] ilovefairuz so I think the install just screwed with grub somehow, so I generated a new one... [01:01] econdudeawesome: so the working installation is on sda1? [01:01] hello [01:01] iilovefairuz yes [01:01] can i pastebin [01:02] econdudeawesome: are you using the livecd now?

[01:03] is there anyway to create an Ubuntu installation on a flash drive? [01:03] But - do you think you could help me with bridging? I'm trying to bridge from Server A to Server B (B is wireless) to get Server A available on my network (not necessarily to get him on the internet) [01:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/470883/ [01:04] ilovefairuz done, and ran sudo update-grub /mnt/etc/default/grub [01:04] thatguy1: ldconfig -p | grep yourmissinglib [01:04] econdudeawesome: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda [01:04] i saw it and i install clamav i ask to get sure who is the best in this list [01:05] bebo__: i dont think there are other programs available for ubuntu, so just use clamav [01:05] Strange, maybe I just need to launch gnome-control-center to fix pulse audo =/ [01:06] Might I have issues with printer drivers? As in is the install process as involved as other fixes? My girl is taking this comp to class and I don't want to leave her with no way to print. [01:06] ok , thanks for u r time [01:06] KwikkSilva: you use use an adhoc network [01:07] can use * [01:07] shurathing: only one way to know ...

See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [01:07] Why would my asoundconf binary be missing tho -- ubuntu karmic not have that? [01:07] ilovefairuz, well, i was able to get Server A on the network using Server B as an internet gateway, is that what you mean? [01:08] but then Server A was behind B, on a private subnet and no one could get in at him [01:08] ilovefairuz: as in, try it and see? [01:08] did anyone look at my paste ? [01:08] KwikkSilva: if A can connect to B then it's already reachable [01:09] wowh [01:09] i have to leave [01:09] ilovefairuz, thats what i thought - A and B can talk back and forward no problem. But C on my network cannot get to A [01:09] its confusing [01:09] alwl [01:09] Thanks all, that has me looking in the right direction [01:10] i'm trying to get C to A and thats how i hosed my network in the first place - with a bridging setup that did not work [01:10] anyone know how to fix the bug in gstreamer ubuntu10.4 for youtube plugin? [01:10] its been driving me nuts [01:10] KwikkSilva: there was no 'C' in your question, you can setup an wirless access point using hostapd + dnsmasq on one of them and get them all to connect to it [01:10] empathy keeps giving me segfault errors when I try to use video [01:11] mues747, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? [01:11] yes [01:11] medibutu repos also [01:11] ilovefairuz, ahh so Server B needs to be an access point [01:12] used terminal and installed super os too [01:12] and the way its set up now hes not? [01:12] KwikkSilva: it should be normally the one having access to the wired network [01:12] i guess i dont get it [01:12] super os ? [01:13] KwikkSilva: the machine with the wired connection should access as a wireless access point, and all other machines connect to it [01:13] These servers A and B - are at the bottom of the apartment, the router is miles away and there is no machine physically connected to it === dhdfoo is now known as dhd [01:13] B is connected to the router cia wireless, i was trying to bridge A onto the network using his connection [01:13] opens up all restricted extras, adds alot to your system that isn't there out of the box... [01:14] I got him on, but C (a wireless laptop) could not ping A, only B [01:14] KwikkSilva: how is A connected to B? [01:14] eth0 on A to wlan0 on B [01:14] through abc's ? [01:14] sorry [01:15] eth0 on A to eth0 on B, then B has wlan0 connected to my router [01:15] pfff [01:15] KwikkSilva: does A have a wireless connection ? [01:15] hiexpo: enough [01:15] I have the restricted extras... also good, bad, ugly gstreamer plugins [01:16] Unfortunately not - no drivers for the card [01:16] sorry - there is more info here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1535015 [01:16] Hello! I'm in a bit of a problem. [01:16] ?me ilovefairuz ok being smarty :) [01:16] Maybe the commands i display there might help understand - i'm just confused [01:16] I can only boot in safe graphic mode. If i choose to boot normal I'll just get a frozen plymouth screen. [01:17] KwikkSilva: alright, can you setup an adhoc wirless network between B and C? [01:18] ohh never though of that - i reckon so.. i could try [01:18] bu i'm on C :-) so i'd better get all the info first [01:18] kk... thanks again. :) [01:18] ^ /me ilovefairuz ok being smarty :) [01:18] You reckon thats the onlty way it'll work? [01:19] * hiexpo ilovefairuz sorry [01:19] Deist: at the very beginning of boot, hold down the shift key, press e, remove 'quiet splash' from the line, press enter, press b, and check the messages as it boots [01:19] thanks! [01:20] KwikkSilva: well it's the simplest way, the other would be setting up B as a wireless access point using hostapd [01:21] ilovefairuz, might sound dumb - but if i did get hostpad setup - do i need any special featuires on my other router in order to finish the setup (WDS?) [01:22] KwikkSilva: not at all, just that the wireless card supports access point mode (AP mode) [01:23] trying to delete partition and gettting this error [01:23] KwikkSilva: you can use open, wep or wpa/wap2 encryption without any extra software [01:23] please unmount any logical aprtitions having a bumber hgiher than 5 [01:24] lol, I don't get how they shit a alsa-utils package that's missing asoundconf [01:24] oops * s/shit/ship/ [01:24] ilovefairuz, cool - ok i might try that - you reckon tough to setup? or straight forward? i'm reasonably ok with ubuntu [01:25] KwikkSilva: not at all tough, hostapd.conf and dnsmasq.conf can be very minimal, but be sure to get the IPs right [01:26] boing: sudo fdisk -l [01:26] how do i install the kde version of openbox??? whats the apt-get im running from server edition??

[01:27] ilovefairuz, the machine thats the access point, would it still be able to get out onto the internet wirelessly through my router, as well as being an AP? [01:27] KwikkSilva: yes [01:27] ilovefairuz, I am trying to fresh install for my laptop [01:27] ilovefairuz, cool thx :-) i'll give it a go! [01:28] Hey guys!

[02:16] ** that you could make something work [02:16] kreeper: sudo apt-get update [02:16] ilovefairuz, hi change name [02:16] kreeper, change your server location [02:17] boing: which hard disk and partition did you install on? [02:17] Hi ! I got a problem mounting a Firewire drive... I managed to do it for USB drives, but the same techniques does not work. My Firewire pci card is displayed when I use the "lspci" command. However, connecting the drive has absolutely no effect (when connecting my usb drive, I see it appear on /var/log/messages). I've searched on forums, but didn't find anything. Does someone have a hint ? (lucid, server, installed on a ibook g4) [02:17] will that fix the software center too? [02:17] redlegoreng, check dmesg for anything\ [02:17] hello guys i got this on start up http://pastebin.com/kgSrGqe5 [02:17] kreeper: just do this and see if you'll get any errors [02:17] any idea how to fix it [02:18] hey everyone. i'm looking for a program to centrally backup all of my sites which are spread out across multiple servers. any suggestions? [02:18] ilovefairuz, not the 64ssd ah i had the 500gig partitioned [02:18] then what ever unallocated space was there [02:18] alex87, as rough as it sounds, write your own script [02:19] alex87: I like rsnapshot... see ubottu [02:19] !backup > alex87 [02:19] alex87, please see my private message [02:19] Out_Cold, yeah, i think i will. just wondering if there was something to save time. thanks [02:19] jrib, cheers, i'll look into it [02:19] boing: so you install the new ubuntu on the 500 ? [02:20] what is that named ubuntu restricted extras in ubuntu tweak? what is it used for? [02:20] ilovefairuz, yes but it is partitioned [02:20] alex87, i go through each step i want to do, write it on paper, assign variables, and always use 'screen' you can make some awesome scripts to do just what you want [02:20] 9.1o [02:20] apt-get install is working now, thx [02:20] Out_Cold: again thanks i think i will give ntop a try for a few days [02:20] ilovefairuz, I am showing 216 gb filesystem [02:20] kool [02:20] guysi have this on start up http://pastebin.com/kgSrGqe5 anyone can help [02:20] Hey, I've got a question about installing things on Ubuntu, when in a dual-boot situation with Windows. Namely, when installing something under Wine, does the program clash with the files on Windows? Because it seems that it installs to C:\Program Files. Or is there somewhere else that it's best to install programs like this? [02:20] Out_Cold, yeah. i might add a little web front end as well [02:21] boing: you're confusing me, did you complete installation of new version or not? [02:21] alex87, you could write the script and add it to a cron tab and never really worry about it after that. [02:22] Underscore: not at all, has nothing to do with windows files [02:22] Underscore: c:\ in WINE is actually located in ~/.wine/drive_c/ , and is completely separate from any Windows installation you may also have. [02:22] Underscore: wine installs files in ~/.wine they will not have any effect on your windows install [02:22] Out_Cold, yeah. it might need to manage 100+ sites though, but i'm sure that won't be too tricky [02:22] who knows the ubuntu restricted extras in ubuntu tweak? [02:22] rww: bastidrazor: ilovefairuz: Ah! That explains it then. Thanks for the help. [02:22] ilovefairuz, I want to remove the old umbuntu which got corrupted earlier today with the error grub rescue [02:22] woa ! thx Out_Cold, I found it finally [02:23] okay, so I'm making progress I got my resolution issue sorted out, but now I need to get the linux-restricted-modules package, and that's not showing up in the repos. Does anyone know which repo it's in? [02:23] dont know why, but it didnt appear the three last time, but this time it's there [02:23] thanks ! [02:23] boing: where was the old one installed? the 64g hard disk or 500 one? [02:24] ilovefairuz, i am showing 216 gb filesystem [02:24] alex87, that's where the variables come into good use. that way you put all your website names at the beginning and use a generic written script. [02:24] boing: i see two disks, Disk /dev/sda: 64.0 GB and Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB [02:24] Out_Cold, yeah. i have some specific requirements, so scripting it myself is probably the way to go [02:24] oaf, The Ubuntu Restricted Extras will install Adobe Flash Player, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (sun-java-jre) with Firefox plug-ins (icedtea), a set of Microsoft Fonts (msttcorefonts), multimedia codecs (w32codecs or w64codecs), mp3-compatible encoding (lame), FFMpeg, extra Gstreamer codecs, the package for DVD decoding (libdvdread4, but see below for info on libdvdcss2), the unrar archiver, odbc, and cabextract. It also installs mu [02:24] ltiple "stripped" codecs and avutils (libavcodec-unstripped-52 and libavutil-unstripped-49). This is a single command approach. [02:25] ilovefairuz, the 500 gb is partitioned [02:25] when i VNC to my desktop (thats running compiz and desktop effects, and 10.04) ; i dont see screen refresh. how to fix? [02:25] if you need help, i've done that for backups before [02:25] ^^ alex87 [02:25] boing: yes and you installed new version on this one? [02:25] Mr_Sonoma, thx [02:26] Out_Cold, thanks, i won't be looking at it today, but i'll write your name down for future reference [02:26] My Xorg0 keeps on freezing on me, please help. My keyboard and mouse lock up forcing me to do a hard reboot. [02:26] ilovefairuz, i want to reinstall ubuntu on the 216gb [02:27] alex87, everything i have learned i googled, but the few important things to look at are 'bash scripting' 'screen' and 'bash variables' [02:27] boing: what's that '216', a partition or a third disk? [02:27] what address of server Việt Nam? [02:27] alex87, and maybe tar or dd over ssh [02:28] i had a question about ubuntu [02:28] !ask | brad8171 [02:28] brad8171: 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).

[02:33] When dual-booting with Windows, can I read and write outside of the Ubuntu install partition? E.g. can I access and save files from my Windows partition (as well as documents) or will I have to make copies into my Ubuntu home directory? [02:33] anyone here use lxde desktop? And can you transfer files via bluetooth? [02:33] Alan502: I'd use maybe rsync something like that [02:34] Underscore, you can look into your windows partitions but not the other way around [02:34] Underscore: that is is a /BAD/ idea [02:34] ilovefairuz, do u ca what i was talking about 216 under the gb? === zz_severity1 is now known as severity1 [02:34] You shouldn't touch your ubuntu partition with windows [02:34] Flare183, what else could i use? [02:34] ilovefairuz, does this mean the 500 gb is partitioned with 216gb? [02:35] is anyone using gnash? [02:35] boing: it has a 216 g partition yes [02:35] Flare183: No, that's not what I meant - I mean, say I have big files in my Windows partition; I don't want to have to copy them over to Ubuntu, but I want to make a change from within Ubuntu. Can I access the file, make the change, and hit save, saving the file where I found it (in the Windows partition)? [02:36] ilovefairuz, that is where ubuntu is and i want to reinstall [02:36] Underscore, yes [02:36] boing: the ubuntu on this one is the new or old one?

[02:40] ilovefairuz almost worked. I was able to bring up a commandline with grub. What now? [02:40] ilovefairuz, i'll go screenshot of what i am looking at as for removing partitions [02:41] cjae: Sorry, I can't say I understand - I definitely will have windows on the hdd to begin with - i'll shrink it down beforehand [02:41] Underscore, do you know what a partition is?

[02:43] .tar files have no compression whatsoever, actually. [02:43] rww: but gzip and/bzip2 do [02:43] cjae: So when you say I name it windows, you mean I call my shrunken partition with windows files 'windows', for classification?

[02:50] Hi all. I'm struggling here. What packages must I install to get the required kernel headers to build kernel modules? I do not wish to build the entire kernel, just a simple module.

[02:53] :( [02:54] not too sure.. i've compiled lots, but never really kernels or modules [02:54] cablop, what are you trying to install?

[03:20] Leo-BR-RJ -> I don't think anyone on IRC can help, just the folks at the other end of that contact form :) [03:20] Hobart: i know =( [03:21] «¼¼» §äLäM £vë®ÿÖñë «¼¼» [03:21] Alan502, i dont know. I googled your question that that looked like a possible solution. you may have to script something and use a cron job to do exactly what your wanting. I personally know of NO application to do what you want. [03:21] Alan502: you can script it, cron is for specific times though [03:22] guampa, i was thinking like an hourly job that would run the script. the script check if he's on the network and then run [03:22] what are some good rss feed readers for gnome? i'm accustomed to using google reader, but i'm trying to move away from google having total control over my life. === bgs000 is now known as bgs100 [03:23] I'd like to make my virtual terminals run at the native resolution of my monitor (1280x1024), but I can't seem to figure out how. A number of articles online tell of editing the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file -- something the GRUB developers don't want you to do -- but doing so had no result. Running `vbetest' in GRUB (btw I have grub-pc installed, not legacy) showed 1280x1024x32 as being supported, so how can I get it to work? Is there so [03:23] me line I can add/edit in /etc/default/grub? [03:23] s/Is there so// [03:23] Mr_Sonoma: yeah that should work, but there sure is a way to trigger some script when you connect to a network [03:23] actually, just nix the newline, idk what happened there [03:24] Mr_Sonoma, guampa yup that's what i thought. The thing is that my laptop is not always on so it would be difficult to specify a time. [03:24] guampa, there may be i've never tried it though [03:24] howdy! I'm following the grub2 fix found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 (about halfway down the page in the CLI) and I get an error when using hte following command: linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sdXY ro *XY=a1 on my rig [03:24] error: file not found. [03:24] Alan502, did you see my initial response to guampa ? [03:24] not sure what to do X( [03:24] aha, i thought of checking every half hour or so with something like ping -c 3 192.168.1.102 && rsync -azvv -e ssh /home/alan/Documents/TrabajosColegio/ alan@192.168.1.102:/home/alan/Documents/TrabajosColegio/ || echo "Ping failed" [03:25] Alan502: man interfaces [03:25] if wlan0 up? [03:25] though i warn you: you better are willing to do some study... [03:26] on that man page search for post-up [03:26] Anyone here use nexpose? [03:26] guampa, Mr_Sonoma , can rsync copy files both ways? For example, can my laptop copy its files to my desktop and gather the files from my desktop and copy them to my laptop's disk? [03:26] How do I change user password in bash? [03:26] Alan502, you'd want to check that your on YOUR network somehow that way it doesn't try to sync to someone else's computer when in a remote location [03:26] without my desktop interfering [03:27] howdy! I'm following the grub2 fix found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 (about halfway down the page in the CLI) and I get an error when using hte following command: linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sdXY ro *XY=a1 on my rig* and I get an error-file not found. ANyone good with grub? [03:27] Alan502: i heard unison is better for two way sync, though rsync can do that too [03:27] guampa, i'll google unison, how can rsync do that? [03:27] gryllida, passwd [03:28] Alan502: you can sync in two steps, first from A to B then the other way around [03:29] but unison takes care of conflicts better maybe, i didn't use it tho [03:29] !ig mng [03:29] guampa, aha, i did thought of that but is there a way rsync can do it running the command only on one computer? [03:29] howdy! I'm following the grub2 fix found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 (about halfway down the page in the CLI) and I get an error when using hte following command: linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sdXY ro *XY=a1 on my rig* and I get an error-file not found. ANyone good with grub? [03:29] i use lilo [03:29] grub uses hd0,0 syntax not hda/sda [03:29] Alan502: rsync can sync from the computer your'e running it to another computer or viceversa [03:30] !pics [03:30] all you need is to have rsync or ssh on both points [03:30] Is it bad if the only thing I have in /boot is grub? Shouldn't I have some linux kernels there? [03:31] guampa, mmm... so i would run the command on my laptop to copy its files to my desktop and then my laptop could ssh to my desktop and run the command via ssh? [03:31] Mr_Sonoma. That worked. Thank you. [03:32] mcurran I tried that. I'm following the help file to the letter [03:32] what's your issue? You can't boot a kernel? [03:32] Alan502: no..you run the command on your laptop and send files to your desktop, then run it again from your laptop and GET files from your desktop [03:33] guampa, what's the command to get files? [03:33] hi everyone [03:33] anyone can advice me on ubuntu 10.04 opengl [03:33] how can i check the version? or maybe how can i install opengl? [03:34] Alan502: basically rsync [03:34] so to get files from your desktop source would be your desktop [03:34] mcurran I guess. I had/have a working install and wanted to install another version to a separate partition. Install failed (my mistake), grub ruined. Now I have booted to livecd, reinstalled/reconfigured grub according to the guide, rebooted, and now only see grub [03:34] Ok so I want to upgrade to the latest ubuntu but I want to do a fresh install, not just the upgrade, problem is I don't have any blank CD's. But I do have an external hard drive. Is there any way (doesn't have to be easy) that I could boot from the USB and have the image on there? [03:35] guampa, ahh i get it, i didn't realize i could put ssh on the destination, THANKS A LOT! [03:35] Can grub mount a usb filestystem and then load an image from it? [03:35] no problem! [03:35] guampa, it's a lot of help, i'll try it now [03:35] thanks :D [03:35] Lym: why not just use the usb startup disc creator? [03:35] Lym absolutely [03:35] good luck! [03:36] mcurran any idea? [03:36] Lym: I don't know if it maintains the other data on the drive or whatever... [03:36] Yeah thats really important, its got my entire music collection on there [03:36] But I am down for partitioning that [03:36] econdudeawesome: I think you need to give more details [03:37] Where can i find more info on this usb startup disc creator? [03:37] ChogyDan what details would you like [03:37] Lym: Sys > Admin > Startup Disc [03:37] what does "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" mean? [03:38] econdudeawesome: er, all of them I suppose. What exactly is happening? You get grub, but that isn't good enough? [03:39] ChodyDan I get the bash form of grub. I was installing Ubuntu minimal and crashed at choosing grub loader (or whatever the option is called) on a second partition of a drive that already has a working Ubuntu install. Then nothing would load. So I reinstalled grub2 via livecd. At restart all I get is the grub command line [03:40] Also can you jailbreak an ipod touch from a linux box? === kreeper is now known as kreeper-away [03:40] ChogyDan following the instructions found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 I am trying to load from the most recent kernel. /boot only contains a folder called /boot/grub, no /vmliinuz/ However, there is a /vmlinuz under the main mount point / [03:41] What's the recommended partition size for Ubuntu? [03:41] chogydan yet when I try to implement the instructions, I get an error: file not found [03:41] Underscore: i usually say 10GB for system + however much space for your stuff is safe [03:41] econdudeawesome: what is your partition make up? [03:41] maco: Ok :) [03:41] Underscore: if youre a developer and intend to have lots of documentation, debug packages, and development packages installed, then make 10 be 5 instead [03:41] Underscore: erk i meant 15 [03:42] Underscore: not 5 ;-) [03:42] ChogyDan what do you mean [03:42] hola [03:42] I need help in updating flashplayer [03:42] econdudeawesome: what partitions do you have, and what are their mount points? [03:43] hola alguien habla español [03:43] hola loculinux, este canal es en ingles, tenes #ubuntu-es [03:43] ChogyDan Well.... not sure anymore. Originally was sda1 to /, sda2 unmounted, sda3 to /mount/storage [03:43] ubottu: es | loculinux [03:43] loculinux: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [03:44] ok bye [03:44] ChogyDan actually, /dev/sda1 is missing... [03:45] I wonder how to find that? [03:45] econdudeawesome: missing? [03:46] ChogyDan as in, set prefix=(hd0,1) <== hard drive with recently working Ubuntu install, then ls /dev <==no sda1?? === patx is now known as patx_ [03:46] econdudeawesome: what do you get? [03:46] ChogyDan lots and lots, but not sda of any sort.. midi1, ram6, tty8, etc. [03:47] chogydan what in the world did I do :-( [03:47] econdudeawesome: I certainly don't know about sda being missing, but this _is_ a grub cli, not the full cli. I would just continue [03:48] ChogyDan I would, but it won't continue. I have to fix grub2 first :-D [03:49] hey all..in my windows partition atm...updated from hardy heron to latest this morning....restarted.....got a good bit errors and cant get into ubuntu [03:49] kinda freaked out [03:49] econdudeawesome: I don't follow, why can't you do the next step? [03:50] how come i am prompted to enter a password to unlock 'login' on every reboot? also how can i make screenlets stop on startup? it autolaunches even though i disabled in startup apps [03:50] hi, I have got the Linksys WRT54G2 [03:50] ChogyDan as in, why can't I boot? There is no linux kernel it can find... [03:50] econdudeawesome: can you be more specific? Which line fails? [03:50] I want to put the phone wire, RJ11 in the Linksys WRT54G2 but there are not a jack for that kind of wires [03:50] there are only a RJ45 jack [03:50] econdudeawesome: o wait! nvm, your /boot is empty [03:51] can I put the phone connector there? [03:51] ChogyDan exactly. Except for /boot/grub. Is there anything I can do? [03:51] hello guys [03:51] how can i tunnle all of teamviewers traffic thorough an ubuntu server? [03:51] econdudeawesome: well, I don't know why you are missing your kernels. I would just boot a livecd, and fix from there [03:52] how do i disable/delete plymout and the graphical grub theme? [03:52] Underscore: on the upper end I would recommend 30GB-40GB. This is "never have to worry about it" size. [03:52] ChogyDan as in, just copy over the most recent kernel on the liveCD to /boot/vmlinuz? or reinstall totally? [03:52] sxp: it is kinda offtopic, but I don't think that is a very good idea. It may work like crap or not connect at all [03:52] can i install linux overwriting windows without affecting my d: drive ? [03:53] thune3: Ok, fair enough [03:53] econdudeawesome: I would just mount the drive, chroot to the drive, then use apt-get to install some kernels [03:53] i have my windows installed on c: drive [03:53] please help..somebody [03:53] heh... any advice on which? I'm not sure I know how to do that [03:53] can i install linux overwriting windows without affecting my d: drive ? [03:53] !plymouth [03:54] chogydan bah, this is taking too long, I'll just clean install [03:54] rahul2: yes, you just have to make sure you partition right. Be very careful [03:54] rahul2, yes [03:54] so i have to install on the primary partition..right?

There is only a "golden ball" on the left. [04:29] erm, *clicking [04:29] hmm [04:30] smackmanic have you tried to manually mount the drives ? [04:31] ndevastator: idk how...kinda not fam with the cmd line [04:31] smackmanic or is it the main filesystem that wont mount ? [04:31] well [04:31] nickrud, that worked BUT/AND 1. what is the golden-ball 2. why is .6 of the bar blank after the ball till the next : then 4 window-deals are squished in. [04:31] it sends me to busy box, the first and main error is mount on /dev failed [04:31] no such device [04:32] smackmanic does the system still seem to be running correctly ? [04:32] smackmanic trying to figure out which mount failed [04:32] tritium: are you using some sort of custom dekstop ? [04:32] tripelb somehowe you played with the hide option ? maybe reset will clear your panel [04:32] !resetpanels [04:32] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [04:33] ndevastator: system still seem to be running correctly in what manner? [04:33] ,.d [04:33] tripelb: i would def go with the bot information..i maybe missed all of your info but sounds like you custumized something and its buggy, so you need to reset it [04:33] how do i open the document viewer for pdfs from the shell terminal??? === jan_cbv is now known as rob_cbv [04:34] ndevastator: what do you mean exactly by running correctly...? [04:34] smackmanic sec im rereading all your comments [04:34] shell-fu: gnome-open is a way that I like [04:34] smackmanic im not familiar with busy box... after you receive the error message what happens [04:34] chogydan, thanks [04:35] ndevastator: i actually get a string of errors basically....then it sends me to busy box....thats about it..i can paste bin if u want? i wrote it down [04:35] on paper..so i can type it up [04:35] but in busy box i can't cd to /home...can't sudo anything [04:35] smackmanic oh so you get a window that shows busy ? that what you mean by busy box [04:36] not a window im in console [04:36] startx does not work either [04:37] smackmanic did you have separate mounts for your filesystem ? [04:37] ndevastator: i have a dual boot if thats what u mean [04:38] im in my windows side atm [04:38] smackmanic, no nothing special. I came home and it was like this. I reset the "window list" to show on someone's recommendation. I dont know what.. I just removed the golden ball from the panel. I have no idea what it was. all looks normal now. [04:38] TY world [04:40] smackmanic so im assuming you are not within your ubuntu filesystem now [04:40] tripelb: well....glad to hear it seems fixed..yea? [04:40] smackmanic you said you wrote the errors down does it list which mount fails ? [04:40] ndevastator: no i'm in windows...i can't do anything in busybox or i don't know what i should be doing anyway [04:41] yeah [04:41] lemme type it out [04:41] !busybox [04:42] Alert: /dev/disk/by-uuid/b7af588e-64d7-4dec-a218-86878c4bc608 failed dropping to shell [04:42] i am rescueing grub and at the configuring grub-pc which /dev/sdb1 example do I choice to repair the grub using win7 [04:42] that should be it, think i wrote it down and typed it correctly [04:43] hrmm [04:43] ndevastator: it seems to be a common prob....googled it...but can't find the solution [04:43] the saddest part is I don't have any blank cds or a livecd [04:43] heh [04:44] smackmanic give me a couple minutes here to do some research [04:45] Hello all. I installed ubuntu on my laptop and for whatever reason the OS no longer detects the wif card. Any ideas? === nix is now known as Guest58685 [04:45] can someone please tell me how to install kubuntu on ubuntu net mix ? i have a probem installing python-kde4_4.4.2-0ubuntu2_i386.deb file.. it sayis it cannot fetch it [04:46] Why not download the kubuntu iso instead [04:46] anyone good with repairing the grub [04:46] Hello [04:46] ndevastator: take your time bro [04:47] hello friends [04:47] hi [04:47] Does anybody hav experince setting up a RADIUS server in ubuntu? [04:47] a what that mean? [04:48] How do I find out what the running kernel version is? [04:48] Scunizi, uname -r [04:48] coz_: thanks [04:49] someone from Brasil? [04:49] kimi ask #ubuntu-server [04:49] thanks Oer [04:49] !br | juniorCronos [04:49] juniorCronos: Entre em #ubuntu-br usando /join #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [04:49] no but woman RE NICE [04:50] thanks [04:50] ur welcome [04:51] where is every one? [04:51] juniorCronos, [04:51] yep [04:51] anyone can tell me how to install python-kde4_4.4.2-0ubuntu2_i386.deb file ? [04:52] nuwan: maybe change your mirror. what mirror are you using? [04:52] \i havent seen you here [04:52] numen, double click the package if it is downloaded [04:52] numen, or are you asking where to find it? [04:52] smackmanic okay from what i can tell it is most likely your boot partition that has become "broken" for lack of a better word [04:53] right [04:53] well my problem is when i use apt or synaptic it says it cant fetch it [04:53] mmm by chance can you tell me what the public wording of that is for ? [04:53] nuwan terminal > sudo apt-get install python-kde4 ? this wil load current python-kde4_4.4.2-0ubuntu2_i386.deb [04:53] smackmanic at this point the only fix i would know would indeed be that you would have to boot from a liveCD and reinstall grub [04:53] ndevastator: would it be possible to use a 2gig USB sitck [04:54] smackmanic well yes... but you would have to install the system onto the disk and then set the computer to boot from it [04:54] and i tried that all/ dont work [04:54] nuwan: you could manually fetch it from http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/python-kde4 if you click on i386 at the bottom-left and download from a mirror. [04:54] ndevastator: man this sounds rough..see the prob is I don't have blank disks and I don't have a lived [04:54] what is you os you are running [04:54] *livecd [04:54] my first moment here [04:54] i tried to get it from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kdebindings/ [04:55] smackmanic, you could use a 2 gig USB stick sure. there are instructions on making a bootable usb disk on the ubuntu download page [04:55] thune i will try it from htere [04:55] Can anybody see this? I think I might be muted [04:55] Mythgarr, yes [04:55] smackmanic you did say you are dual booting ? [04:55] Hmm... thanks [04:55] Mr_Sonoma: yeah im looking it up...but reinstalling grub..that hsould be a fairly straight forward process right? === attila is now known as Guest33162 [04:55] ndevastator: yep [04:55] ndevastator: only way im talking to you lol [04:55] nuwan you know did you setup your bios for it to boot up? [04:55] smackmanic reinstalling grub isnt very difficult im somewhat noob myself and i did it successfully [04:55] yep [04:56] <`Polarbear> hrmm, i dual boot with OSX, and PC/OS linux [04:56] ndevastator: what should I look out for..cause im worried ill get there and not no the options I need to set [04:56] and set the wrong ones and get deeper into messing things up..ya know [04:56] smackmanic, yes grub is fairly straight forward. google the process and print it off for your referance if the first time doing it [04:56] I had no problem with ubuntu since the use [04:56] Mr_Sonoma: printer is broken atm! haha...but will write it down [04:56] anyone good with repairing the grub [04:57] so eager to learn more [04:57] im gonna put on some music while i look this up and prepare to make the plunge.. [04:57] boing, what's your grub issue? [04:57] im stuck at grub loading error: they symbol 'grub_puts_' not found next line grub rescue> [04:57] join #/cyanogen [04:58] good! :) cuz this so much to learn,juniorCronos, [04:58] Mr_Sonoma and ndevastator: i get the feeling this is the first step..like...this will solve one issue, but will need more help later type of thing...like i dont think its the sole cause [04:58] but I'll burn that bridge when i get there [04:58] Mr_Sonoma, so i am using live cd/in the teriminal/root/ then i typed sudo grub but command not found [04:59] smackmanic i think your best bet would probably be install a boot version of ubuntu on that jump drive [04:59] smackmanic and then check your disk for errors [04:59] ndevastator: should i try the grub route first [05:00] smackmanic well you can but... there is most likely a reason that grub is failing to load it [05:00] juniorCronos,there is so much you can do here in ubuntu 10.04 lts and so much more suport then earlier versions that you would spend over $200 and still not get all tha you can do with your computer [05:01] boing, uh i'm looking for the list of commands now. but i'm thinking your wanting update-grub [05:01] smackmanic here is a link to a handy script that you can use to figure out which mount that UUID is [05:01] how can i restart gnomepanel? kill -HUP ? [05:01] smackmanic, if youre trying to set up a hard drive using UUID you can send me a PM [05:02] tucemiux: i'm not sure what im doing to be honest... [05:02] !resetpanel [05:02] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [05:02] tucemius no he is experiencing a boot error [05:02] tucemius and a mount is failing to load [05:02] tucemius and sending him to busybox [05:02] Ubuntu does not detect my laptop wifi card (bcm 4312 a/b/g) any ideas as to why? Conversely, Damn Small Linux sees it, but cannot activate it [05:02] Oer: i just need it to shutdown and start again, not loose the settings [05:02] ndevastator, you type the first letters of my nick then hit tab, see what happens [05:03] Mr_Sonoma, i have a fresh install and now i cannot get to anywhere [05:03] tucemiux, nice =D [05:03] guampa logout & login again ? [05:03] boing, you cant get anywhere? [05:03] tucemiux: lol [05:03] khider, you need to find out if there are drivers for linux [05:03] this is not good [05:04] i don't have the space on this windows partition to dl the files for the liveusb [05:04] smackmanic, ouch =( [05:04] tucemiux: Broadcom STA-Wireless [05:04] haha....gotta figure this one out..turn on brain [05:04] ndevastator: i'll try to figure it out [05:04] Mr_Sonoma, yes, i am getting a grub rescue error [05:04] tucemiux: It is not a driver issue, it is an 'OS cannot see it' issue [05:04] smackmanic, well you have very little options from busybox the best i can tell... honestly I am not very familiar with it [05:05] so how can I fix this issue it has only been about 5 hours so far trying [05:05] then you need codecs [05:05] tucemiux: I updated the BIOS today, that did not work either [05:05] khider, you need to find out if your wireless device is supported in linux -- hence the drivers, if you dont have the drivers you wont be able to use it, even if linux can detect it [05:05] hi [05:05] ive just installed a new HDD.

[05:43] i have build essentials [05:43] and automake installed [05:43] picard1421: some programs jump right to make, did you try make command? [05:44] picard1421: You have to be in a directory that has a configure script [05:44] sparky,hi [05:45] soreau: some programs require building the configure script, what other apps besides automake help do that? [05:45] processroute: sure [05:45] there is a configure file.. but it says the .configure command is not installed???? [05:45] guampa: thanks [05:45] What's the ibus ? [05:45] processroute: Each project has it's own way to use it's build system [05:45] soreau: what are some other common ones he could try? [05:45] sparky,hey do you need help playing music? [05:46] processroute: If I could see the output of 'ls' from the src directory, I probably could guess how to build it [05:46] !pastebin | picard1421 [05:46] picard1421: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [05:46] 大家好 [05:46] picard1421: could you, in terminal, do a ls -a >> output.txt and paste that txt file into pastebin? [05:46] picard1421: When you're in the source directory where configure exists, ./configure will run that configure script in that directory [05:46] !cm | likong [05:47] !cn | likong [05:47] one sec im trying it under root it seems to be workin' [05:47] likong: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [05:47] picard1421: The key is, you have to be in the same directory that configure script is in when you run ./configure [05:47] picard1421: And you should never use root to build source [05:47] yea im in the right directory.. and i can seee the file in scp [05:47] why not use root? [05:47] soreau: and write the file with non-sudo or non-root :) [05:47] picard1421: or to do any user tasks (such as configuring building source) [05:48] I have many [ufw block] entries in my log files. what do they mean? === FreshPrince is now known as FreshPrince_ [05:48] picard1421: You probably screwed up the permissions by using root in the first place [05:48] picard1421: It's a really bad idea [05:48] but why?? [05:48] ! root [05:48] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [05:48] i know [05:49] picard1421: For one thing, it's a security issue. And you should not form a habit of using sudo or root because linux is permissions based [05:49] picard1421: If you start running user apps as root, it could foil your permissions and then you can have other problems latert [05:49] picard1421: using root gives files and processes administrative access to do anything to a system, if you need to use the root account, in terminal, sudo passwd to set it a password and su in terminal to access root [05:49] kk .. one mroe thing.,. you know when you boot up and you get the ubuntu 10.04 maroon splash screen.. is there anyway to change that .. get a JPEG in background instead of that splash?? [05:50] !splash | picard1421 [05:50] picard1421: To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [05:50] its not gnome.. [05:50] picard1421: configuring and building source are not administrative tasks. Installing the built project into standard prefix on the filesystem is however [05:50] its just the normal thing.. i have no GUI.. [05:50] its just hte marron splash with ubuntu 10.04 [05:50] before login screen [05:51] i ve installed as wll mplayerprocessroute: /whois *.jp [05:51] picard1421: You shouldn't run anything as root unless you understand why you need superuser privileges [05:52] hello [05:52] !hello | h2s [05:52] h2s: Hi!

[06:01] there seems to be a problem with youtube-dl downloader in ubuntu. any updates coming up? [06:01] nica: no sound at all works? like if you run "speaker-test" you hear nothing? (should be static) or just in videos it doesnt work [06:02] well i get the video working for youtube, avi, mp4, but i get no sound [06:02] its not working.. [06:02] uighh [06:02] w.e.

[06:02] and i get sound for mp3s [06:02] anyone watch video via html5? eg. youtube [06:02] !anyone | cjae [06:02] cjae: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [06:03] Guys [06:03] Was the volume control applet removed completely from Gnome? [06:03] iceroot, that is the real one [06:03] So that only Pulseaudio has it? [06:03] cjae: then go to #ubuntu-offtopic [06:04] iceroot, why [06:04] cjae: this is the ubuntu-support-channel [06:04] so did anyone figure out how to change that splash screen? [06:04] Pulseaudio is always at the bottom of ev'ry problem I've ever had with sound [06:04] Faethin: its just not activated by default in lucid. its called indicator-applet [06:04] so I'm totally blanking. If i want to have /dev/sda1 mount to /mnt/something automatically at boot [06:04] should i script it in rc.local? [06:05] or is there an fstab config i can modify? [06:05] ice799: how do I activate it? [06:05] iceroot: how do I activate it? [06:05] MrPocketz: /etc/fstab [06:05] Faethin: right click on the panel, add applet, then choose the indicator-applet [06:05] iceroot, thanks [06:06] any one own a intel atom board ? [06:06] what is the best and more complete codec package? [06:06] heyboy: i just get youtube-dl from http://bitbucket.org/rg3/youtube-dl/downloads , since it has to change often to keep up with any changes in youtube.com [06:06] joeyyyy: anyone with a netbook :P [06:06] how can i run the speaker test? [06:06] iceroot: I uninstalled pulseaudio because it was messing up my sound and my mic [06:06] cablop: ubuntu-restricted-extras is pulling w32-codecs i guess [06:06] iceroot: does that mean no volume applet for me? [06:07] Faethin: yes, the applet comes from pulseaudio if i am correct [06:07] Faethin: I have one.. when I right mouse click and "about" it says "Indicator Aplet 0.3.7 [06:08] iceroot: but that was not the case with the previous releases of Ubuntu. I read somewhere that this was a first, just for gnome 2.26 [06:08] hey all! [06:08] how's everyone? [06:08] Izinucs: I don't have pulseaudio, so it seems I won't be getting the applet [06:08] guampa: i posted on brainstorm also, any luck posting to ubuntuforums? [06:08] Hello jerryluc [06:08] Hello jerrym [06:08] let me give them a try iceroot :) [06:09] nica: open a terminal (type "terminal" in the menu's search thing) and type "speaker-test" in the terminal, then hit enter and listen [06:09] i am new here, but hope to bcome regular [06:10] ok [06:10] what info would you like from the speaker test? [06:10] Faethin: Mine is a stock install.. did you remove pulse? [06:11] Izinucs: I did. It was messing up my sound and mic [06:11] zkriesse, :) [06:11] Oh hello abhinav_singh [06:11] Izinucs: perhaps it had to do with the fact that I'm using a custom kernel [06:11] Oh hello abhijit [06:11] Faethin: could be.. [06:11] Totem doesn't see my audio cd, I'm using Xubuntu, for some reason Exaile sees it though. [06:11] processroute: i'm writing the post... but i'm no native english speaker, + the solution is fairly complex, so i'ts a bit difficult for me to write :) [06:11] nica: do you hear anything? [06:12] zkriesse, hows you doing? [06:12] Izinucs: which I had to, since my lappy never took off without it unless I turned off ACPI [06:12] nothing in my speaker or headset [06:12] nica: run "alsamixer" and check that everything's up and there's nothing with "MM" on it? [06:12] sounds like exhaile comes with the codecs or awareness of your multimedia hardware... [06:12] Faethin: you didn't need a custom kernel to turn off acpi.. [06:12] guampa: ok, when you get a chance, vote on a solution at brainstorm.ubuntu.com when its approved, thanks again [06:12] oh wait Totem does see it now.. [06:13] Izinucs: of course not. But I wanted ACPI functionality. [06:13] Faethin: ah [06:13] Izinucs: stoopid pulseaudio ¬¬ [06:14] but it's not able to play it like Exaile [06:14] processroute: isn't brainstorm.ubuntu.com for feature reqs? [06:14] guampa: yep [06:15] guampa: yeah, i think there should be an easy way to do it built in the ubuntu kernel [06:17] sparky.< are you here? [06:17] good night everyone. and thanks for the welcome here. will be back again, soon. [06:17] good night [06:17] :-) [06:18] i don't think forcing a program to use a specific interface fits in that place then...not something that many ppl would want to do imho [06:18] bye [06:20] guampa: i don't know why not, seems common place for users that have more than one isp or vpn [06:21] to be honest, it is the first time i hear someone want to do that, and anyway if it was so common why aren't there a lot of google results with the answer? [06:22] Hey [06:22] !hi | Kelson_ [06:22] Kelson_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [06:22] Does canonical's oft-touted community want to give me some advice [06:22] !ask | Kelson_ [06:22] Kelson_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:27] what do you need advice on Kelson_ ? [06:27] I'm having trouble installing 10.04 on my Dell studio 1555. I have a 250 gb hard drive, 200gb of which is an ntfs partition with my data, i also have a 100mb ext4 partition that I mount as /boot, a 4gb swap space, and the remaining 46gb i mount as /. I've tried three installs from two separate discs now, and they work just fine, but when i reboot I get an error: "Gave up waiting for root device." does anyone have any suggestions? [06:28] I don't have sound icon in applet manager also keyboard language in ubuntu 10.4 [06:28] mintux: add the applet "indicator-applet" to your panel [06:29] um [06:29] processroute: there i posted my answer at ubuntuforums [06:29] mm [06:29] iceroot: and for keyboard layout ? [06:29] mintux: have a look at the list of applets [06:29] guampa: thank you, hopefully they will append the Ubuntu kernel to allow this easier in future releases [06:29] technically [06:30] what you can do is write up something as a preload, that adds the appropriate SO_BINDTODEVICE business to any network calls [06:31] is there something better than the default media player? [06:31] Kelson_, while i don't disagree with a seperate /boot why do you have it? I typically do a seperate /home partition and thats it. the rest is in / don't know if that's the issue or not. [06:31] processroute: youre welcome, if you like the solution i can help you to implement it, just letme know. i don't think it will/should be implemented in kernel space though, instead it's a perfect candidate for a userspace solution [06:31] Kelson_, do you get any other error codes that may help in leading to an answer? [06:32] quiescens: i saw this somewhere on the internet, let me find that link again [06:32] guampa: i'll add that suggestion to brainstorm now [06:32] iceroot: I did but where is keyboard ? http://up.iranblog.com/Files1/eb24d218ac1f419c871a.png http://up.iranblog.com/Files1/863946481f00452a9f7d.png [06:32] I'm just thinking along the lines of the more common trickle bandwidth limiter [06:32] where instead of limiting bandwidth use, you can put a SO_BINDTODEVICE flag [06:33] mintux: hm i thought its in that list [06:33] cause it hink the default ubuntu mediaplayer is too slow :S [06:33] mintux: but i am not using that applet so i dont know, sorry [06:34] Mr_Sonoma, I have the separate /boot partition at the suggestion of a friend, that it might fix the problem I was having. I'm not entirely wedded to the idea of a separate /boot partition. There are no other error codes, after telling me that the problem could be with the boot arguments it j ust gives me a shell [06:34] ok [06:35] it would save any kernel trickery and shouldn't need to use superuser privs [06:35] guampa: i've been looking for an operator to do this or something for years, but at least today, options as yours exist [06:36] is deluge lighter than ktorrent [06:36] well rpdb and iptables exist in their actual forms for a couple of years now [06:36] i see that deluge is too heavy [06:36] i mean ktorrent [06:36] quiescens: no, this is the same as attaching PID to an address, not network device, that can be done easier through route [06:36] can anyone help with my screen going black problem? [06:36] it's running slow... but maybe cause i'm running it inside gnome [06:36] Kelson_, i'm not promising anything, but take a look at this. And possibly follow the link there to the ubuntu community docs on grub2. You may find this useful: http://techgage.com/news/repairing_a_broken_grub_2_boot-loader_on_ubuntu/ [06:36] guampa: well, i don't think anyone put the two and two together [06:37] hi all [06:37] Mr_Sonoma, thank you, ill be back on later if that doesn't work. [06:37] could u suggest me a dockbar ? [06:37] yeah but playing with route and iptables requires superuser normally [06:37] Rosbuntu: System -> Preferences -> Power Management [06:37] haha, that could be the case. anyway i'm interested in the problem as, odd as it seems for me, it looks a cool resource [06:38] processroute, then [06:38] yes it can come in handy when you have 2+ isps or whatnot [06:38] Rosubuntu: put display to sleep: Never [06:38] with an appropriately written library, you would be able to do: LD_PRELOAD=nameoflibrary.so IFACE=eth3 (commandline) [06:38] guampa: yeah, or an isp and a vpn [06:39] yep [06:39] processroute, put it [06:39] processroute: for example, http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-net/msg09560.html is very close [06:39] Rosbuntu: put it = set it = select it [06:39] processroute: add a little bit of error handling, and make it so that the interface is set in an environment variable instead of hardcoded [06:39] processroute, selected it and set it [06:39] :D [06:40] mmmm [06:40] no mediaplayer recommendation? [06:40] processroute, my problem is when my screen goes black i cannot do anything.. i need to restart my pc .. and the black screen happens when i want to deal with some graphics job like turning on screen saver.. or something like this [06:40] does anyone use ChucK? I tried to install it on my ubuntu 10.04 netbook and used make linux-alsa but it says segmentation fault when I try to run chuck. [06:40] Mr_Sonoma, now that I'm on a computer, can you send me that link again? I feel silly for losing it [06:40] Kelson_, i'm not promising anything, but take a look at this. And possibly follow the link there to the ubuntu community docs on grub2. You may find this useful: http://techgage.com/news/repairing_a_broken_grub_2_boot-loader_on_ubuntu/ [06:41] Kelson_, there you go [06:41] Rosbuntu: you can always access various screens with alt+ctrl+FX to toggle to a new screen, try that [06:41] cablop, Banshee is a good media player that can be installed via synaptic package manager [06:41] processroute: what about intercepting with LD_PRELOAD as quiescens suggests? [06:41] Rosbuntu: then to restart X you can sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [06:41] guampa: i don't follow [06:42] processroute, my computer hangs when the black screen happens and i cant do anything without restarting but hard disk light i can see in my cpu is normal bit [06:42] Kelson_: bansee, it'll suit my music needs :P hehe but for video, do you know one [06:42] cablop, well, there's always VLC [06:42] Rosbuntu: oh, i have had that happen on occasion, good question, usually i have to alt+ctrl+del to restart it when that happens, as this is ok for a casual user [06:43] guampa: where http://daniel-lange.com/archives/53-Binding-applications-to-a-specific-IP.html binds to an IP though, not a network device/interface [06:43] Can someone help me rename multiple directories? I've googled but not found anything that seems to match what I need. [06:44] processroute, but u know its disgusting it happens anytime.. like it happens when i m chating with my frnds.. and if i restart my pc that means i sign off.. man its really mean to my frnd [06:44] guampa: is binddev a variable? [06:44] I want to rename sever directories from 123-xyz to 987-xyz [06:44] shawnboy, use a scripting language [06:44] guampa: oh wait, bindtodevice still requires privelidges, i suppose both solutions require elevated privelidge [06:44] Rosbuntu: is this the error you get: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=869245 [06:44] processroute: no, it refers to the device you would be forcing calls to socket() to bind to [06:45] hi yall [06:45] actually it's more like 123-xyz-disc-1 , disc-2, disc-3 [06:45] shawnboy, I have had to do things like that in the past and I did scripts I made in gedit [06:46] saegeoff, does perl come out of the box with ubuntu? I hate to install something just for this. [06:47] The brightness applet is not working.can anybody help me please? [06:47] Shawnboy: I dont think you need perl. Personally, I would use python before perl. Though, I don't believe you should need either. Look up on writing basic terminal scripts online [06:47] !brightness | ghostpadxa [06:48] ghostpadxa: are you on a HP 6735s? [06:48] processroute, he can access his terminal i cannot access my terminal [06:48] when the black screen happens [06:48] saegeoff, most use reg expressions, which make my brain hurt. [06:48] processroute: no p co [06:49] shawnboy: I dont know if this is useful or not, I just found it in a quick search. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html [06:49] I'll take a look. thanks saegeoff [06:49] hai [06:50] shawnboy: no problem... It may take you as long to learn it as it would just to manually do it. Though its probably worth learning this now because it will pay off down the road. [06:50] Rosbuntu: does the screenblanking accompany the screensaver initalizing [06:50] !hi | ponraj [06:50] ponraj: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out.

I could've had it done by now, but I don't like not knowing how to do it the "better" way. [06:52] Rosbuntu: http://www.hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=512912 this person's screen went black and had verticle lighting in half the screen [06:52] how can i use chinese input method with scim? the C-space switch doesn't work here. I've also added a startscim.sh in Autostart/ [06:52] processroute, ok [06:52] shawnboy: yeah me too. its worth learning for these silly projects [06:52] any idea? [06:52] bevil, use ibus, its replacing scim [06:53] Kelson_, was that of any help?

Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [06:59] thanks, so i should get the scim work for me [07:00] bevil, get to the channel of your distro; which one is it [07:00] bazhang: ok [07:00] cn i turn of backlight in keyboards? [07:01] aswin: can't you turn that off in your bios settings ? [07:01] bevil: Even if you were actually using Ubuntu, I don't think that 8.10 is even supported any more (so it's not even getting security updates). [07:01] hello, I recently did a routine software update on my ubuntu 8.04 system and since then, I cannot get flash video to play in firefox (or knoquerer for that matter) [07:01] anybody know how to fix it? [07:01] i want to login manager standalone [07:01] the simple one [07:02] any reference [07:02] aswin: ubuntu probably wont support something proprietary like that. [07:02] too bad :( [07:02] thnx sageoff [07:02] aswin: It depends on the laptop / keyboard. (I can controll the backlight on my laptop's keyboard). [07:03] processroute they dont help :( [07:03] i'm able to use te rest of function like reducing brightness,turning on wifi,mute nd all..but the button for backlight doesnt work [07:04] yesterday wen i closed the lid of my laptop ubuntu got stuck?is it a problem on my side or is it ubuntu's problem? [07:04] aswin: thats probably because its too rare to support. Give it a few years, i think they will become more popular and better supported [07:04] k [07:04] aswin: what got stuck? [07:05] the os?not the lid :) the system just hanged..i couldnt get it back running nd i forced it to shut dwn [07:05] aswin: check in power management settings if it's set up to suspend/hibernate when closing lid, and change it to blank screen instead [07:06] Could someone please advise which netboot works best with Ubuntu? Does System76 put together nice machnes? [07:06] masoncloud: yes they do [07:07] @maco, thank you! [07:07] masoncloud: i just got a zareason terra hd which i like quite a lot, though i was one of the first to get it, so i know theyre already working on fixing the couple (minor) bugs the first two of us hit [07:07] it was set to suspend on closing lid [07:07] masoncloud: and by first to get it, i mean it was released last week ;-) [07:07] masoncloud: id expect within a couple weeks itll be perfect [07:08] masoncloud: ive heard of no bugs with zareason's teo [07:09] maco, lol. I'm still currently one my ASUS 701 with 4GB SSD, lol! I have been on Zareason's & System76's websites allot lately [07:09] masoncloud: the minor bug on the terra is that i have to click the "suspend" option in the machine instead of just closing the lid...which is what i usually do anyway [07:09] aswin that's been my experience too, at least ubuntu 8.04 - the suspend/hibernate modes basically don't work reliably, so I reverted to just blanking the screen [07:09] masoncloud: er in the os i mean. i havent tried the keyboard button [07:09] aswin the screen is about half the power consumption of the laptop [07:10] masoncloud: if you join #zareason, cheri has a teo and solarion and i have terras, if you want to hear from users [07:11] maco, thank you so much for the info! [07:11] Hello, i need help with a vpn issue [07:11] masoncloud: np. im a big fan of buying linux systems and supporting companies that support us [07:13] DITTO, I've been a HUGE fan of this little guy (ASUS 701) but it's time for a bigger screen res, lol [07:13] masoncloud: ouch and a bigger keyboard [07:14] maco > Yup, that too, you have a greaat night and again, thank you! [07:15] Hello Everybody [07:15] hi [07:15] Isn't there an updated PPA for tracker? [07:15] The current Tracker team ppa still has a very old version. [07:15] then try the unstable ppa raddy [07:16] xangua: unstable ppa has a old version of unstable branch. [07:16] Why cant i connect to anything "google" [07:22] Hey guys [07:22] My dad is trying to install ubuntu from his laptop [07:22] The progress bar is stuck at 79 [07:22] plum-mobile: from or to? [07:22] saegeoff: to [07:23] Sorry I should have clarified :x [07:23] <|ns|nR8> tried another disc plum-mobile ? [07:23] It says "Retrieving file 13 of 28" [07:23] plum-mobile: dual booting or single boot? [07:23] saegeoff: dual booting [07:23] hi [07:23] hi.... i was wondering what the name for the program is to change the restricted drivers. I downgraded the graphics driver and now i can only see half the screen (and can't get back to the window!). [07:23] plum: it may be trying to download from the repos online. [07:24] |ns|nR8: I used the same disk and it worked on mine... [07:24] plum-mobile: how long has it been stuck? [07:24] saegeoff: it has been there for almost an hour at 79%, but the number of files its retrieving changes. [07:25] Now this is about a 5 year old laptop btw [07:25] <|ns|nR8> plum-mobile has it got network cable plugged into it ? [07:25] can someone please check what the program name for the gui to change the restricted drivers is (the one in system->administration) [07:25] fiber: jockey [07:26] plum-mobile: its just downloading files really slow. you have have to just let it go for a long time [07:26] maco: thanks! [07:26] Hey, I'm having problems with my vpn connection, it seems that google traffic wont go through it.... [07:26] update to lucid made it impossible to mount my card reader, have tried many fixes from the forum, no joy, any ideas? [07:26] plum-mobile: if it is changing the files then it is downloading, just slowly [07:27] I didn't know ubuntu had to download files...what happens if you press Skip? [07:27] plum-mobile: it will just postpone the updates until a later time. you can press that [07:27] Sweet [07:28] plum-mobile: I do suggest you get the updates installed asap though. [07:28] saegeoff: so is it actually updating to a newer version of ubuntu then? [07:28] jarhead is there any chance you have some sort of tunneling setup that doesn't allow external sites from your provate network? [07:28] How do I archive a directory? [07:28] hey guise sorry to nag you with this. I'm using ubuntu to recover some files from a damaged HD in an old toshiba laptop. The lappy tells me she it will take her like 60 hours to copy all the files. She's been doing progress, and the stimate seems to be right. It's been on now for some 8 hours. Should I put it to rest some time, or can I just leave it working, like I would do with a desktop pc? [07:28] in Terminal [07:28] i'm a begginner.... [07:28] me too [07:28] plum-mobile: not necessarily. It is just getting the recent updates [07:28] welcome newbies [07:28] :) [07:29] i can see certain websites, but they always get hung up at "conneting to www.google.com" [07:29] saegeoff: thank you for the help on this. We will keep watching it [07:30] hi, i have my laptop connected to wifi network, can i still share internet connection to other computer via wifi? [07:30] Marco01: just let it run, there should be no problems. [07:30] plum-mobile: good luck! [07:30] ive changed my swap space to a smaller size. how do i ;regenerate; a new fstab? [07:30] jarhead what happens if you try to ping google.com? [07:30] how do i do that? [07:30] Hello, is there a way to permantly block websites in ubuntu(like forever)? I know about the /etc/hosts file but It's still possible for someone to change this file and unblock websites. Any ideas? Thank you [07:31] check this cool read out [07:31] http://linuxologist.com/7-apps/7-instances-of-kde-appearances-on-the-silver-screen/ [07:31] thanks a lot saegeoff! [07:31] How does the wireless driver get the WEP to connect and download the updates if its installing? [07:31] jarhead in a terminal window, type "ping google.com" and it will send test packets and wait for a response. It will keep doing that until you press ctrl-c. [07:32] since lucid upgrade I can see my card reader via lsusb but not my card via fdisk -l, how to find it? [07:32] hi i am using ubuntu 10.10 i386 . is there any 64bit version? [07:32] ok, i'll fire up the vpn and try [07:32] plum-mobile: good question. maybe it isnt connected and it just is attempting each file until it times out on each attempt. Just skip that process for now [07:32] I got a lot of error when I try to install theme on ubuntu . is it possible to install theme manually means extract it and put right where [07:32] hola a todos [07:32] saegeoff: alright we'll skip it [07:33] yes you can [07:34] alguna mujer para charlar??? [07:34] It seems to be lagging now that Skip was pressed [07:34] the ping came back fine... [07:34] no tengo sueño [07:34] errors like : "Vista" does not appear to be a valid theme. | Can't move directory over directory | Insufficient permissions to install the theme in: /home/mrg/.themes [07:34] dustin: how to [07:34] plum-mobile: any luck? [07:35] how do I grant everyone readonly access to a file? [07:36] saegeoff: web browser works, he clicked a link in the installer [07:36] to all those in this channel i make vidoes , so you can see how to do it [07:36] hello [07:36] plum-mobile: good! [07:37] gryllida: chmod a+r filename [07:37] mintux, hey what do you want to do again? [07:37] hi star [07:37] Hi guys [07:37] dustin: I want to install themes that I downloaded but I got a lot of errors [07:37] i'm in the middle of an ubuntu install at a point where it's asking me which partition to install grub on. no matter what i select, the following page tells me that i haven't chosen any partitions to install grub to and asks me to confirm. is there any way that i can manually install grub from here to ensure that my system reboots properly? [07:38] so if I can do it manually like extract it [07:38] it's helpful [07:38] Guest65266, I thought it's 'o+r' [07:39] a=all [07:39] wat does hacker mean [07:39] I'm so noob on IBM server XD I need a very pro man, I've got problem to detct the network hardware [07:39] ok i got problem with fonts in web page these are too small by default, where i can set larger ?

I went to admin account and executed sudo chown username /media/ HDDname and it was OK then but after I restarted the system again it gives me the same message that I'm not authorized ! I have to mention that II'm very new to linux [07:41] there are no 1337 haX0rs here [07:41] ghostpadxa: you want to be one? [07:41] XD [07:41] Doctech: yer [07:42] ghostpadxa: kernel.org have at it [07:42] XD a litle lamer is borning [07:42] hola como hago para que xubuntu tenga sonido [07:42] PureSine: what fs is it? [07:42] !es | norman_ [07:42] norman_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [07:42] doctech How can I see that ? I used the defaults [07:43] During installation kernel panic on hardware detect [07:43] i guess you could just look at /proc/mounts [07:43] Sleepwalker_Dima: Sorry, I cannot help you. That seems to be a specific case that you will have to ask someone with experience in that field. Try to server chatroom or the message boards [07:43] kk Thx ^^ [07:44] sweetpi: ok i have connected to that site wats next [07:44] Now i try with 8.04 [07:44] what version did you try first Sleepwalker_Dima [07:44] Sleepwalker_Dima: why not use 10.04? [07:44] It crash on installation XD [07:44] ghostpadxa: download the latest kernel source [07:44] Sleepwalker_Dima: which cd? [07:45] All cd XD ubuntu server; Ubuntu; Kubuntu....Debian work [07:45] So, isn't there a program in ubuntu to block a website permantly ? forever ... for example to be able to unblock it with a passowrd and you could a random password so you could never be able to unblock this site again? [07:45] Sleepwalker_Dima: redownload the image and reburn the disk.. make sure you are using the right version 32 or 64 [07:45] sweetpi: wat next [07:45] But all 10 [07:45] ouch [07:45] ghostpadxa: open a terminal and type "echo Fail" [07:45] Docteh, nothing that I understand there, should I paste it in a paste bin ? my HDD name not mentioned in the file [07:45] Yep I'm not noob [07:46] But It is a driver problem [07:46] sweetpi: yer [07:46] Sleepwalker_Dima: I had trouble with an image of 10 once.. redownloaded and it ran fine... version 10 will be much easier for you to get the correct drivers you need [07:46] I'm 95% sere [07:46] PureSine: mount the hard drive for sures then try it [07:46] sure* [07:46] how to activate sound xubuntu [07:46] Docteh, how should I do that ? [07:46] But 10 don't work -.- [07:47] I try with 2 Cds [07:47] Of ubuntu server 10 [07:47] Sleepwalker_Dima: you could debootstrap ubuntu from a debian live cd if you really want ubuntu, also hardware detection leading to panic sounds like a good thing to bug report [07:47] sweetpi: wats next [07:47] ssh [07:47] PureSine: mount /dev/ /media/somewhere [07:47] ghostpadxa: thats it. congrats your a 1377 h4x0r [07:48] actually [07:48] I shuld to read the terminal on F1 [07:48] PureSine: click around til you can access it and then look at where the file manager is [07:48] sweetpi: thats not hacking [07:48] ghostpadxa: your likely not to get help here for either definition of "hacking" [07:48] <-- not a gui user [07:48] (pvt comand?)

Err, I mean, APT! [07:51] any ideas on how to mount a card reader that fdisk -l can't find .... lsusb finds the reader but card can't be found only in lucid worked fine before upgrade [07:51] saegeoff: wats u r ip addr [07:51] !ot | ghostpadxa [07:51] ghostpadxa: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:52] Docteh, I clicked on the dist and it asked for admin password and I eneted it and now it is accessible from user account, but I don't want each time to enter admin password [07:52] Guest65266: look at dmesg, might want to remove, reinsert card [07:52] hey everyone [07:52] Do you know VXA2 tape? [07:52] PureSine: yea so do that right now so you can get information on what file system it is [07:53] ghostpadxa: why do you want my IP address? [07:53] Docteh thatnks, tried dmesg,: READ CAPACITY failed [07:53] proc mounts gives you like "/dev/sdc1 /media/blahblahblah ntfs-3g ....." [07:53] Guest65266: eeeeeek [07:54] try blowing on it like a nes cart [07:54] also "sense not available" which, um doesn't make sense :-) [07:54] i'm in the middle of an ubuntu install at a point where it's asking me which partition to install grub on. no matter what i select, the following page tells me that i haven't chosen any partitions to install grub to and asks me to confirm. is there any way that i can manually install grub from here to ensure that my system reboots properly? [07:54] Docteh, in proc/mount => /dev/sdb1 /media/Downloads ext4 [07:55] hostbyte=DID_NO_CONNECT driverbyte=DRIVER_OK [07:55] is there a way to go back to a previous step in the installation process or to escape to a shell in the installer environment to manually install grub? [07:55] jefimenko: alt+f2? [07:55] Docteh_ , in proc/mount => /dev/sdb1 /media/Downloads ext4 (Download is my HDD name) [07:55] saegeoff: just wanna know it [07:56] Docteh_: that works, but i'm not familiar with the installer environment. where is the current installation mounted to, etc. [07:56] PureSine: odd, so chowning it should stick, unless you're moving it to different computers with different user ids [07:56] ghostpadxa: 41.119.193.108 [07:56] jefimenko: it probably does /target [07:56] ok so on ubuntu website it has a bit on making a usb image for a thumb drive? would the same process work for an external hd? [07:56] chroot /target /bin/bash [07:57] Lym: yup [07:57] saegeoff: thanz [07:57] bb Guys thx for help I try debootstrap ^^ [07:58] Another question, How can I enter sudo commands from user terminal and give admin password, currently I can't perform sudo commands even if I give admin password, it says I'm not Sudoer [07:58] ghostpadxa: you're obviously a fool. that is your ipaddress you moron. stop trying to hack because you are clearly bad at it. [07:58] Sleepwalker_Dima: "dpkg-reconfigure -a" might be useful to run [07:58] ghostpadxa: please leave this chat room, no one here is going to help you learn how to hack [07:59] PureSine: usually sudo asks for your passord, su - asks for root password (which is not set by default, also ubuntu peeps hate running as root blah blah blah) [07:59] saegeoff: you should have let him waste his time. would have been priceless when he realized it on his own :) [07:59] Docteh_: thanks, i think i've got it from here [07:59] sweetpi: hahaha [07:59] PureSine: editing /etc/sudoers is on your horizon [07:59] or fiddling with groups i guess [08:00] jefimenko: coolbeans [08:00] PureSine: use "visudo" from a real sudo account, add the new sudo account in there [08:00] PureSine: or just open the "Users and groups" and make the user an Admin account [08:01] does using visudo make a backup of /etc/sudoers? [08:01] saegeoff: wat ever [08:01] Docteh_, magnetron, sudo asks for my password but then says I'm not sudoer, if I add my user account to admin group or sudo group have I compromised security ? [08:01] on 10.04, I am trying to install snd-dummy - I believe it should work : modprobe snd-dummy out of the box, however I tried compiling (which worked btw) a newer patch to it, despite compiling and "installing" to the location /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic-pae/kernel/sound/drivers/snd-dummy.ko it won't modprobe. Now I moved it from there, it says cannot find it... how can I revert to the out-of-the-box package for snd-dummy? [08:02] docteh blowing on the card didn't help (well I didn't try it but I suspect it doesn't) any other ideas, this card works fine in other machines only on lucid it doesn't [08:02] ghostpadxa: did you figure it out yet? lol [08:02] and other usb mounting has probs [08:02] saegeoff: yeah so [08:03] 10.04, snd-dummy, get [08:03] hopefully not a hardware problem Guest65266 [08:03] ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/teams/art.gnome.org/backgrounds/ [08:03] actually i killed a usb controller with an mp3 player once [08:03] docteh worked fine prior to lucid update [08:03] hmmm [08:03] I can't read the card via card reader or via canon usb cord [08:04] updates to kernel? [08:04] everything at latest kernel [08:04] did you try an older kernel option in grub menu? [08:05] hmm, that's a thought [08:05] Guest65266, usb related errors in dmesg (so, device found but not readable) or nothing at all (device not detected) [08:05] ? [08:06] did you try an older kernel option in grub menu? [08:06] k, thanks Docteh, off to reboot with different kernel [08:06] that whas whoops === jan247_ is now known as jan247 [08:07] any one used a Foxconn R40-D2 Intel Atom D510 [08:07] been thinking about getting one, any horrible issues? [08:07] Seveas-train : Device offlined - not reeady after error recovery ... [sdd] READ CAPACITY failed [08:08] have you tried the device on another computer? [08:08] i been lookinh at them on newegg [08:08] heh even a dead hdd can usually respond to that [08:08] yes and it works [08:08] ok [08:08] it worked on this computer before lucid upgrade [08:08] compiz is tearing my desktop...how can i prevent this [08:08] lsusb finds card reader but fdisk -l doesn't find the disk [08:09] s/disk/card [08:09] kernel it is then. Maybe try a maverick live cd? Also please file a bug. [08:09] k, I've seen similar bugs but not sure this is any of them, will try different kernel and file report [08:09] thansk [08:09] i'd double check and make sure the usb controller didn't suicide, then file a bug [08:10] Guest65266, make sure you put the lsusb info and all error messages in there [08:10] there is a lot of visual tearing when i play videos or play games....is compiz responsible for this....how do i fix this? [08:10] how check the usb controller? it seems fine with lsusb and my mouse and keyboard are plugged into same usb hub [08:10] dart: you're sure compiz is up? [08:10] hey guys, i have a netbook that does not have a cd drive, and cannot boot from USB [08:10] yeah [08:11] someone told me to match compiz refresh rate to monitors refresh rate on a blog [08:11] EvRide, that's pretty lame. Haven't seen one yet that can't boot from usb. Which model? [08:11] right now i have ubuntu installed with wubi, but i want to install ubuntu on its own partition [08:11] Guest65266: those guys might be 1.1 devices, got any other usb 2.0 flash things or hard drives? [08:11] yeah 2.0 flash works [08:11] toshiba nb255 [08:11] ya, its pretty lame alright [08:12] Docteh_, someone told me to match compiz refresh rate to monitors refresh rate on a blog [08:12] but anyways, how do i get grub to boot from usb? im having problems with it [08:12] Docteh_: it worked :) [08:12] so i actually have a question for once...every time I try to do an update/upgrade/installation on my *old* laptop (i think it's on intrepid) it gives me a "bus error" with no addt'l info. haven't checked dmesg -- does that point to hardware? [08:13] slidinghorn: it could be a stupid gui problem unless you're doing it from the cli [08:14] Docteh_, yeah i'm in terminal -- i try to stay away from gui when i can to "toughen myself up" lol [08:14] If I downgrade to Ati Catalyst 10.6 or perhaps 10.5 will my artifacting cease? [08:14] EvRide: did you check the bios to make sure you cant boot from usb. I havent seen a computer in many years that couldnt [08:14] EvRide: i'd suggest checking out boot.kernel.org but i dont think they have lucid installer as one of the options :-/ [08:14] yes sweetpi, i've checked everything [08:14] it's an old useless laptop that I don't use...think I might try to install another distro on it just to check it out [08:15] EvRide: do you have another linux box to play on? try installing syslinux onto a usb thing, might work better than grub [08:15] EvRide: i take that back.. i had a laptop that i had to disable "usb legacy" to make it boot from usb [08:15] i've disabled legacy usb as well [08:16] how will installing syslinux on usb work if i can't boot from usb? [08:16] slidinghorn: bus error from cli is odd [08:16] Docteh_, we'll see what happens when I take it to the office tomorrow and try to install debian on it [08:17] EvRide: i thought the problem was grub wasn't working, not booting period [08:17] * slidinghorn works @ a computer repair shop & gets to abuse the resources :-P [08:17] i've followed this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB [08:17] slackware was compiled i486 up until recently [08:18] but at the moment im getting a cannot get C/H/S values error [08:18] where at? booting or from some command you're supposed to type in? [08:18] well i sorta followed it, i think that info is kinda old [08:19] when booting [08:19] I've never had success with anything involving a howto and USB myself, except for one that said to type "syslinux /dev/" and then rtfm on the conf file ;) [08:22] anyone know how to use terminal [08:22] thats kind of vaugue question [08:22] ummmm [08:22] lol [08:22] what is a terminal? padza?

[08:24] what software . [08:24] but i cannot boot from usb... [08:24] what 's the format of its package [08:24] EvRide: pretty easy actually. but if your gonna take out the drive.. thats easier :) [08:25] i can only boot from harddrive [08:25] anyone know how to use phone as a webcam?

It should be simple but this alsa is infuriating, I was patching it, then it won't load, now where is the original out of the box version?

[09:22] bye all thnxx for help [09:22] padza: http://nmap.org/book/man.html [09:22] padza, see the link that tonyyarusso posted and join the nmap channel [09:22] hello all [09:22] I want to format a spare hardrive on my desktop - do i use fat16, fat32, or ext4 ? [09:22] livingdaylight, ext4 [09:22] can i join? [09:23] !ask | aDik21 [09:23] livingdaylight, For use with only linux, or with other OS's? [09:23] aDik21: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:23] why does this drive always have a lost and found folder in it after formatting it? [09:23] so, can anyone help me? [09:23] YankDownUnder, for my linux desktop [09:23] tonnyyarusso: wat about "man nmap" [09:23] i want sound from my webcam in real time [09:23] livingdaylight, That's part of the tradition linux FS setup [09:23] realtime [09:23] livingdaylight: Depends - will you *ever* want to access this data from an OS other than Linux? Or perhaps a slightly older distro like Ubuntu 8.04? [09:23] przemo, you haven't asked a question in english....if you can't find a way to say it in english, check the polish channel [09:23] in terminal [09:23] przemo: only if you can explain your problem in english [09:23] livingdaylight, I'd use ext4 or ReiserFS, really. [09:24] livingdaylight: lost+found is a feature of the ext family of filesystems. It's used to aid in recovery from filesystem errors. [09:24] padza: if you knew that why would you ask? [09:24] tonyyarusso, right now it is for linux desktop, but i could always remove it and put it in a case for external hd also [09:24] * slidinghorn wonders if it's a full moon [09:24] what's kernel patch? [09:24] slidinghorn, It's close enough to warrant that suspicion, mate. [09:24] YankDownUnder | tonyyarusso i see! coz when I open lost and found folder I cannot? I wonder why its taking up space [09:24] im back [09:24] livingdaylight: ext4 is my choice if everything you use understands it. fat32 for best compatibility with others. The only thing you'll ever need fat16 for is digital cameras. [09:25] there arent anyone in polish channel! [09:25] umm, i mean... [09:25] livingdaylight: Um, it's not taking up space. Well, 4.0k. Don't worry about it. [09:25] i cant see anyone [09:25] ok, thx tonyyarusso | YankDownUnder | slidinghorn [09:25] so can anyone help me there!? [09:25] przemo, I'm sorry -- maybe you should try using google translate to tell us what your problem is [09:25] hi, I currently have the problem in Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 LTS that I cannot paste with my middle mouse button [09:25] i will try whitout it [09:25] what's is kernel patch?

[09:28] with out loos my information? [09:28] przemo, and you'll do better if you ignore padza [09:28] okookokih: ah, I was afk for a while ... try "dpkg-query --search /path/to/file" to find the package that installed the file in question ... then reinstall the package to get the original one back.

I don't think that'll work :/ [09:31] i mean i have ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso then i mount to to drive...... so can i install direct without boot from dics?

[09:36] robertzaccour, touche [09:36] slidinghorn: :) [09:36] Hello, I just purchased a Dell Inspirion and am dual booting Win7 and Ubuntu 10.4, I cannot for the life of me get the wireless to enable when in Ubuntu it doesnt matter if I leave the wlan enabled or disabled in windows? Any advice? [09:37] azlon: not here? [09:37] TheSarge, well, there's a lot of things it could be...can I PM you a few commands to post to http://paste.ubuntu.com ? [09:37] TheSarge: I don't know for sure, but some systems have a BIOS setting for whether to enable onboard wireless which Linux respects and other systems do not, so you could make sure it's enabled there first. Next tack is driver/firmware issues. [09:38] oCean_: its linux related... i just need to know how to make a script... like if i just did touch whatever.sh, what would i need to put in the sh file to copy another file? is it just the commands as i would type in terminal or is it a langaunge i need to learn? [09:38] slidinghorn: I am in windows I have no way to get online in Ubuntu at all :( I ran the command that the troubleshooting section of the manual said, it gave me a result that the wlan was in a "disabled" state. [09:38] ok. i have my user name and password correct on pidgin for msn. it won't connect. same for emesene i installed it to check on it. still the same. pidgin gives me an error saying "Your MSN buddy list is temporarily unavailable. please try again." thats as specific as it gets from my end [09:39] azlon: this is not linux channel, but technical ubuntu support. php support in##php, shell scripting support in #bash [09:39] Yes I looked in Bios and Wlan and Wwan are enabled. [09:39] TheSarge, does it connect with ethernet? [09:39] slidinghorn: I dont know I have no physical access to the router anyways. [09:39] TheSarge, i.e. neighbors' connection? [09:40] TheSarge: okay, stupid question time: When you right-click the network-manager applet, are both "enable networking" and "enable wireless" checked? [09:40] oCean_: thank you. #bash is what i was looking for. [09:40] It is ours but the router is in my roommates room, and I dont go in their lol. [09:40] how come when i do file -bi 'file.js' its type is x-c++ ? [09:40] and not javacriot [09:40] javascript* [09:41] tonyyarusso: thats the weird thing, the first time i booted i checked the wireless box and the icon for the connection manager thing just disapeared and I have never been able to get it back? [09:41] TheSarge, is the wireless card found? do any networks show up and you're just not able to connect to them? [09:41] slidinghorn: No it is disabled. [09:41] * YankDownUnder is afraid of roommates rooms - they're dangerous places to tread [09:42] what is the card/chipset? [09:42] TheSarge, ^^ [09:42] im back motha fuckas [09:42] I have a clear 3g/4g usb adapter but I am sure there are no built in drivers for it... [09:42] !language | padza [09:42] padza: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [09:42] Lovely. [09:43] slidinghorn: I answered your question? [09:43] tonyyarusso, you were an op that whole tiem???? [09:43] slidinghorn: yeah, but walked into the channel toward the end [09:43] Oh no I didnt, lol let me go check I am not sure I just bought it.

It's off sometimes [09:43] i see [09:44] tonyyarusso, it's all good :) I figured someone would come along eventually [09:45] be back in just a sec....

[09:47] songer, what exactly are you trying to stop? [09:47] TheSarge, I'm trying to find something for you [09:47] Strange problem. I am uploading a file but i get this error: /media/shared/sites/www/subdomains/evan/uploads/my files/someone/blue.png) [09:47] the sound that makes xchat [09:47] slidinghorn: right-click, add to panel, Notification Area [09:47] however, where it says '/someone/', which is a folders name, it should say "someone's files" [09:48] so it seems as if move_uploaded_files doesnt like ' in there [09:48] tonyyarusso, who's that go to? [09:48] some time ago it happen me but i cannot remember how i stop it [09:48] oh, bah. that was supposed to be for TheSarge [09:49] tonyyarusso: I tried that it is not listed...

[09:53] tonyyarusso: slidinghorn ? you guys have anything to try? [09:53] TheSarge, well depending on your card/chipset you may need to use ndiswrapper to use your windows wireless driver for your ubuntu install...this page did wonders for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885847 [09:53] !wifi > TheSarge take a gander here too [09:53] TheSarge, please see my private message [09:53] That will be pretty hard with not net in ubuntu :( [09:54] TheSarge, maybe you can copy the text to file and put it on a usb stick?

[09:56] 1. I did it over ssh, and a process running on the machine is writing to a log [09:56] burned: its stopped years ago [09:57] burned: use irssi or weechat === Olie is now known as OLiE [09:57] but, but, I miss it :( [09:57] for the time that it was 755 would the log be missing info? [09:58] and whats the security risk for a large drive with random programs and data being set to all 755 [09:58] hi. I'm looking for an panel applet that let's me switch between usb-headset and internal sound.

[10:01] hm question, I am trying to record audio with a headset but im getting wicked feedback.. this did not happy in windows. is there any way to disable the internal mic on my asus laptop? [10:01] happy = happen [10:02] heere, ive noticed that on external devices..apparently the external device has its own trash [10:02] hm question, I am trying to record audio with a headset but im getting wicked feedback.. this did not happen in windows. is there any way to disable the internal mic on my asus laptop? [10:02] sorry [10:02] if you're wanting to clear everything off the external device, just remove that trash folder [10:02] heere: trash directory on that partition for uid 1000. This is created by nautilus when you put something in the trash [10:02] i guess thats where ur seeing it tho [10:02] thune3, looking into it.. one sec [10:04] sqlite3 was writing to a database that normally has permissions of 644, after changing the permissions to 755, does the sqlite process get locked out of the file? [10:05] hi. i'm having some trouble with cron [10:06] my syslog says cron is correctly executed, but i don't see the messages it should display [10:06] any ideas why this is happens? [10:07] kbrdsrfr: define "the messages it should display" [10:07] hey guys I did something kinda dumb... I modified a home folders permissions with chmod when logged in as root.. is there anyway to return control of that folder the the relevant user? [10:07] Carsten-: [10:07] So as that user can modify all the permissions in the folder [10:07] tonyyarusso, "Jul 30 11:00:01 darkside CRON[5319]: (ben) CMD (notify-send "Trink was!")" [10:07] is in my syslog [10:07] Carsten-: sure - are you in as root right now? [10:07] Carsten-: chown [10:07] tonyyarusso, but the notification is not disbplayed [10:08] Carsten-, what robbiethe1st said is correct.. you can try "chown" [10:08] try "sudo chown *username* /path/to/folder -R" [10:08] Carsten-: chown -R fred:fred /home/fred [10:08] kbrdsrfr: you have to set DISPLAY-var and xauthority to make that working [10:08] kbrdsrfr: displayed where? [10:09] tonyyarusso, on my screen [10:09] Question: Does anyone know what the "events" value means when you do "mdadm -D /dev/md*" on a softraid? [10:09] llutz, no, how do i set that? [10:09] kbrdsrfr: cron jobs don't output to the screen. If they have output, it goes to your mail. [10:09] llutz: that's for X...totally unrelated. [10:09] kbrdsrfr: DISPLAY= man xauth [10:10] i have gnome-media, but I don't have the volume control applet. How come? === XLV_ is now known as XLV [10:10] that did the trick.. thanks guys... [10:10] kbrdsrfr: You can wrap your command inside a terminal app, and make that display on screen [10:10] llutz, thanks [10:10] tonyyarusso, thanks too [10:11] kasi: you need the indicator-applet [10:11] One more thing, whats the correct chmod command to give files 777 and files 644 in a tree of folders? [10:11] hateball, I don't have that executable [10:12] sorry badly stated.. Should have said 777 for folder and 644 for files [10:12] Carsten-: You should never set mode 777 on anything.

[10:15] kasi: The notify applet doesnt? I run swedish locale, but it shows as something like "notification area" for me [10:17] hateball, oh. who would have thought that the 'volume indicator' is called 'notificator' [10:17] hateball, I have it now [10:17] kasi: it's not just for volume, various other apps hook into the notification area as well [10:17] JJacs: something like this doesn't work? http://ideasareimmortal.blogspot.com/2010/02/getting-reliance-netconnect-usb-modem.html [10:17] hateball: I see now, it also lists email [10:17] kasi: yep :) === airtonix_ is now known as airtonix [10:19] hateball, do you also know an app, that let's me switch between differen audio output channels (e.g., switch from internal sound to the headset and back?) [10:20] Does anyone know the smallest computer that will run ubuntu [10:20] eeepc [10:20] kasi: the normal volume applet should let you do that [10:20] hey i am using vsplit two view my two files....i donot know how to switch between two files in vsplit screen...please help me [10:21] Peter_Skinner: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [10:21] kasi: Settings -> output [10:21] hateball, yes, but I need to go into the audio settings [10:21] kasi: ah you mean like a quick switch [10:21] hateball, I was looking for a simple applet that let's one easily switch [10:21] yes [10:21] thx [10:22] kasi: well ideally, it should do that automatically when you insert headphones, but sometimes it doesnt detect the switch getting triggered... I think there's some workarounds/fixes for that [10:22] kasi: But to answer the question, no I dont know of a dedicated app to do it [10:22] abhinav_singh: vsplit? From what ubuntu package is that?

[10:46] depends [10:46] im watching et [10:46] I just like a baby now :) [10:46] Operator_: i assume when you installed dnsmasq you had to change some dns settings to point to dnsmasq server, you would have to change them back. [10:47] skin so soft [10:48] thune3, Ive really messed up i think, I have uninstaled it and now i cant get internet on either of my ubuntu box's, so i've booted into windows just to try to resolve the problem, because i cant get at the repos [10:49] Operator_: temporarily you can just edit /etc/resolv.conf to point to nameservers. for googledns "nameserver 8.8.8.8" and "nameserver 8.8.4.4" [10:49] that's not such a terrible problem [10:49] Hello [10:49] get the packages on a usb drive and reinstall them === Zemblan is now known as Guest28524 [10:50] Operator_: then, depending on how you set it up, getting networkmanager or dhclient settings (or interface settings) correct will need to be done for more permanent fix. [10:50] Hi i have a question: Is there a partition manager for linux? i want to create a second partition on my harddisk. [10:50] craystorm: try gparted [10:50] gparted [10:50] stanley_robertso, err, no :) that's quite flattering [10:50] ok i will try it thanks [10:51] I'm having probs with sound on streaming video i.e youtube. It was working yesterday, but not now. Sound works for other media players, but not streaming [10:52] Hi does anyone have already install Xerox printer driver? [10:52] anyone? [10:52] I got some issue installing it === lit3l is now known as litel [10:52] craystorm: there are resize issues with ubuntu9.10 gparted. Make sure you use 10.04 or gparted livecd. [10:53] I'm having probs with sound on streaming video i.e youtube. It was working yesterday, but not now. Sound works for other media players, but not streaming any help is appreciated. [10:54] fdisk and plain parted are options, kparted and whatnot [10:54] i taught my mom how to use gparted the other day :D [10:55] As of today, Empathy doesn't connect anymore to the MSN network. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, tried with and without telepathy-butterfly (saw that mentioned in one of the bug trackers). No luck for me? How can I make Empathy work again like it did yesterday? === garrett is now known as Guest22688 [10:56] thune3, Really sorry, Got disconnected, Probably missed your posts.

Wireless card AR5007G. driver ath5k loaded, dmesg doesn't show anything suspicious. networks are being detected just fine. HOWEVER, when I enter the WPA passphrase, it just won't connect. this ubuntu is running inside windows (through wubi)...10.04 [10:58] Operator_: reposts in pm [10:58] hi, anyone knows if there's a fix out yet for lucid spontaneously freezing up? right now i've fallen back on the previous GRUB version but now cant run openGL ... [11:01] hmm [11:01] I get this error when trying to execute an application: [11:01] drygrain@schmen-laptop:~/PocketWiki$ ./WikipediaL [11:01] ./WikipediaL: error while loading shared libraries: libglib-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [11:01] according to Synaptic my installed version of libglib is 2.0 [11:01] Hi everyone :) [11:02] hi USGIshimura [11:03] anyone ? [11:04] alcy1_, ? just joined, am noob but will try to help if i can :) [11:04] wildeja: errm folks, strange issue. Wireless card AR5007G. driver ath5k loaded, dmesg doesn't show anything suspicious. networks are being detected just fine. HOWEVER, when I enter the WPA passphrase, it just won't connect. this ubuntu is running inside windows (through wubi)...10.04 [11:04] alcy1_, dont see a question [11:05] alcy1_, is it an ad-hoc connection [11:05] hey [11:06] bazhang: wildeja: errm, question is how to get it working. its in infrastructure mode [11:06] sup? [11:06] Raven: what is your question? [11:07] bazhang, I talked to you recently as metalgeek, that fhs document you sent me to was unbelievably useful, thanks again [11:07] i take it there's no fix out for ubuntu spontaneously freezing as yet then ..... i think this is a fundamental problem, and embarrassing too for linux [11:08] I have a scanner that is identified as /dev/bus/usb/00x/00x where x keeps changing every time I reboot the computer. the problem is, i need that 00x to be executable by a certain group, but because it's a new thing every time, I have to chmod every time i reboot. Is there a way I can make them rwx on creation or something? [11:08] ubuntu spontaneously freezes gaberlunzie? [11:08] what spontaneous freeze are you talking about gaberlunzie [11:08] gaberlunzie: freezing? no freezes here on 6 different machines with wildly different hardware.... [11:09] !details > gaberlunzie [11:09] Well let's try and find his problem first :) [11:09] gaberlunzie, please see my private message [11:09] as far as being embarrassing for linux as a whole, i seem to remember a certain operating system from redmond, wa which is infamous for freezing spontaneously [11:09] gaberlunzie, Ubuntu freezes? Never seen it sorry [11:09] Lol drygrain [11:09] * drygrain takes a bow [11:09] If it were just one program I'd say gtk.threads_enter() was being called twice ... [11:09] nah to be fair, Win 7 isn't so bad [11:10] hi dulak and bazhang, like this: http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1470452 [11:10] gaberlunzie: have you checked that your hardware is functioning? [11:10] USGIshimura: might be, but it *is* offtopic here === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB [11:10] yeah I realised that as soon as I typed it oCean_, sorry all [11:10] thanks for pulling me up ocean haha [11:11] i thought it was a well-known problem when googling it [11:11] Can someone help me with some information. I'd like to take a server, and install a 2nd ethernet card then use it for all my dns/dhcp needs for the network. [11:11] but gaberlunzie, have yo utried what they've suggested? [11:11] What do I need to look up? [11:11] guys, gwibber not connecting with me at all! [11:11] i have 10.04 LTS lucid using nvidia [11:11] it only says: "Connecting..." [11:11] Basically I want to have the ablility to see where all the traffic is going inside my network, and which ip is using what. [11:11] A router on steriods. [11:11] on page 2, someone has suggested that it could be memory leak from xorg [11:12] i've gotten relief by falling back to the previous GRUB version but now cant use openGL [11:12] running 64 bit, out of interest? [11:12] what hardware have yo ugot [11:12] you' [11:12] gaberlunzie: x86_64Z [11:12] gaberlunzie: 64 bit? [11:13] USGIshimura: also remember to start lines with that person's nick, and try to keep your responses in one single line [11:13] dulak, yes 64-bit lucid with nvidia [11:13] oCean_ thanks, I apologise for my noobiness [11:14] USGIshimura: no need, I'm just pointing out.. That'll make it easier to follow the conversations. Thanks [11:14] gaberlunzie: it seems most of those complaints are for 64 bit, I run 32 bit so I've never experienced the issue [11:14] I have an application which requires libglib1.2, but the currently installed version is 2.0.... how do i resolve this [11:14] dabukalam: are you sure there isn't a fixed link created directly under /dev/ for your scanner. Otherwise the general approach would be to find the udev rule in /lib/udev/rules.d/ that matches on your scanner and change the MODE= and GROUP= lines. [11:14] gaberlunzie: have you tried disabling the hardware nvidia drivers at all? [11:15] yes, usgishimura, that's a disaster, lol [11:15] gaberlunzie: it's a disaster? how so? [11:15] gerry1: ping [11:16] no windows/desktop effects without it ... very frustrating and annoying [11:16] gaberlunzie: Ah, I thought you meant it actually affected your operating system in some way. Does this fix the freeze ups however? [11:16] oh, no, just the windowing [11:17] the-erm, you'd have to put each machine on a different network, you're aware if that, right? [11:17] Have made mistake, registered wrong email when running registration to nickserv. Now when i try to re-register with correct email it says already logged in however i obviously can't access the email account i registered it to. How do i change this? [11:18] wildeja, ask in #freenode [11:18] mo--: I don't think so. [11:18] um,not sure, usgishimura; i never got that far cuz it's practically impractical to work with in itself (without windowing effects) [11:18] bazhang, cheers dude [11:18] mo--: internet --> computer-router -> switch -> computers inside lan. [11:18] hi [11:18] «¼¼» §äLäM £vë®ÿÖñë «¼¼» [11:18] install exe file in ubuntu how? [11:18] ZolaHacker, english only here please [11:19] anyone here wit a ralink rt2700 wlan card? [11:19] *with [11:19] <> Laughº¤°` OuTº¤°` LouD º¤° «¼¼» [11:19] yes i know [11:19] bazhang: the sad news is that was english... :( [11:19] ZolaHacker, please stop that [11:19] gaberlunzie: if I sound ignorant, it's unintentional - but why is it impractical? I'm not using any desktop effects at all. Anyway, I would work with it for just a while to test [11:19] derju, yup, two and mine don't work either [11:19] fuu -.- [11:19] the-erm, that ll work if you just want to measure traffic between inet and lan [11:20] Yup that was the goal. [11:20] is there no way to get this f*** working? [11:20] derju, watch the language [11:20] ok, sorry [11:20] derju, there is a patch, google it [11:20] please help me for install exe file [11:20] I think if I use iftop on eth1 (lan side) I'd be able to see all the traffic. [11:20] i´m on this for 3 hours.. [11:20] the-erm, then - what's the problem? [11:20] Then from there I can do some cool traffic shaping. [11:20] derju, been on this for 6 days [11:20] derju: so spend another three! sorry :P [11:21] I just need to know what keywords to research :) [11:21] I think I found a few good web pages to get started. [11:21] usgishimura, sorry, i'm practically a newbie .... it's impractical cuz i cant access the titlebar/menus to close open windows i opened, or switch windows, etc [11:21] Installing a game [11:21] any one help me [11:21] asrj1, check the appdb and join #winehq [11:21] !appdb | asrj1 [11:21] asrj1: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [11:22] anyone here uses Gwibber? private message me please. [11:22] gaberlunzie: haha no need to apologise, I'm just trying to see if there's any connections between 3D effects and your problem - not trying to belittle you in any way :) [11:22] ok, thanx, once i can get a solution ... if any [11:23] gaberlunzie: I'm assuming you're using a dock instead of the panels installed by default (top / bottom of screen) [11:23] usgishimura, i use panels, no dock [11:23] my use of desktop is pretty vanilla ... [11:24] gaberlunzie: interesting, so you can't see any open windows in the bottom panel if you turn off 3D drivers? [11:24] hey does any know of a bittorrant program, .. like peer guardain? [11:25] Hi, how do I recover multiple Evolution address books when all I have is .evolution? [11:25] dustin: you mean a program to stop people seeing your computer while doing naughty things? ;) [11:25] i would like to use wine , or a luniz version [11:25] usgishimura: no, i have to close the windows one at a time from their menus to get to others in the background [11:26] gaberlunzie: interesting....just a quick suggestion - you can press alt-tab to switch between windows :) [11:26] that's when i dont have 3D effects on [11:26] no, alt-tab doesnt work either when it's off [11:27] kinda, its more of my friend,there micosoft like he can work there, and any i say he already knows about, [11:27] gaberlunzie: hmmm, I'm either confused or you've done something different with your installation somewhat. It sounds like the 3D drivers have done something funny to your system though....is it possible for you to do a reinstall? [11:28] gaberlunzie: you should be able to turn compiz on / off without any hiccups, so somewhere along the line something has gone wrong I think [11:28] Thanks for all the help everyone, your the best! :) [11:28] usgishimura: omg! i just realised i was giving wrong info cuz my effects are off right now and i'm functional! i was speak from memory about an earlier problem === TheEskimo is now known as SigFreud [11:29] ok, embarrassing [11:29] all windowing is ok [11:29] gaberlunzie - oh right, so there's no freezing happening at all while you have them off? [11:29] i had the windowing problem before when fiddling with my graphics driver to see if i could fix the freezing problem [11:30] im reading this ip tracking stuff is scary,,i dont want some newbie getting my phyical adress, [11:30] the freezing problem persists even with effects off [11:31] gaberlunzie: ok, well as far as I can deduce, it seems that 3D drivers aren't the issue [11:31] the freezing is spontaneous with the current grub version .... so i use the previous version for relief === SigFreud is now known as TheEskimo [11:32] when i boot i hold shift and choose the previous version [11:32] gaberlunzie: but with old kernel, you can't use 3D effects yes? [11:33] with old kernel i cant use opengl, if that's what u mean ... i dont know the extent of the problem [11:33] for example, when i try to run xbmc media center, it cant launch [11:33] «¼¼» §äLäM £vë®ÿÖñë «¼¼» [11:33] gaberlunzie: But don't shiff in the wrong richtung in your boot. It will be blown back to where it previously rauskam [11:33] hi :) Is it possible to back up my customizations i made to Ubuntu and transfer them to another computer? Thanks for your help :) [11:34] Naznaz: what kind of customizations? [11:34] jrib, Wallpaper changes, Icon changes, login background [11:34] jrib: You could use squashfs to make a compact image of your system-. [11:34] usgishimura, this problem is not limited to lucid; had it since jaunty [11:35] I know I could do it manually [11:35] rhodan: what the hell? [11:35] rhodan: wrong nick? [11:35] But I'm curious :> [11:35] Naznaz: copy over ~/.* [11:35] gaberlunzie: ahhhh very interesting. I say this because I was recently using 64-bit ultimate edition and have had similar issues [11:35] jrib, okay, thanks. [11:36] gaberlunzie: it might help to ask someone a bit more knowledgeable - I apologise but I'm only going from past experiences! [11:36] jrib: Naznaz, be sure to run something like chown -R Naznaz:Naznaz /home/Naznaz; chmod -R 700 /home/Naznaz; find /home/Naznaz -type f -exec chmod 600 {} \; === friTTe| is now known as |friTTe| [11:37] jrib, okay, thank you, I'd have forgotten that :) [11:37] how to automount a NTFS partition upon bootup [11:37] Naznaz: just chowning should be enough really [11:37] hahhahaha: Put it in fstab [11:37] thanks :) [11:37] jrib: Executable JPEGs! Yeah! ;) [11:37] that's ok, usgi: just fishing for solutions .... i havent found any on the websites; just the quick fix i mentioned for relief === neutrino is now known as tar- [11:38] rhodan: do i have install fstab [11:38] thanx for the assistance [11:38] Naznaz: only if they were executable to start with... [11:38] Where do I find the ubuntu one client? I'm running 10.04. [11:38] gaberlunzie: what little assistance I gave! hopefully your problem will be fixed with a patch - on that link you showed us it seems that a few people are having the same problem [11:39] CaneToad: Aplicationa > Internet [11:39] jrib, ? [11:39] hahhahaha: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [11:39] Naznaz: erm, that was for rhodan [11:39] ah okay [11:39] jasonwryan: nothing there...do you know what it is called? [11:39] rhodan: gnome-mount -p Data(partitionName) .. how about this command [11:40] Folks, I'm using Kubuntu and when I try to share a folder that is on my desktop however when I right click and choose Share it is unchecked when I reopen the sharing properties [11:40] yes, usgi: quite a few it seems .... so let me get this straight, it appears to be a 64-bit problem? [11:40] CaneToad: Ubuntu One in my menu... [11:40] 64-bit related [11:40] CaneToad: Right click and open Edit Menus to make sure it isn't hidden... [11:41] gaberlunzie: as far as I can tell, the people who do seem to have it are using 64-bit, but a lot of people are lucky or fix it [11:41] #j ta.cz [11:41] gaberlunzie: there's so many combinations of hardware out there, some people just get away with it [11:41] jasonwryan: not there...what does your menu invoke? [11:41] ok, cuz like i said, it's embarrassing for a ubuntu user like me, lol ... in terms of migrating from windows [11:42] amen assie [11:42] i'm waiting for a fix, so i can boast about using ubuntu, heh [11:42] So is there any reason why the share folder will not share out even after I set it up through the GUI? [11:42] cuz i think it's a fundamental problem [11:42] CaneToad: starts the applet in my status panel [11:42] gaberlunzie: well, have you tried any KDE distributions? Perhaps Kubuntu might work better with your hardware? [11:43] And it also might be more familiar to you as well, as an introduction [11:43] to linux [11:43] hmmm, i kinda prefer gnome ... had removed kde [11:43] jasonwryan: I can see that /usr/bin/ubuntuone-launch exists...but invoking it does nothing (???) [11:44] close [11:44] gaberlunzie: well in that case, I definitely recommend linux mint, if you can spare the bandwidth [11:44] gaberlunzie: however, I'm getting off track [11:45] CaneToad: from the cli? [11:45] gaberlunzie: I'm sure there is a solution to your problem, I'm just not the best person to be giving Ubuntu advice! haha [11:45] jasonwryan: yup.... anyway looks like others are having the same trouble: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1498388 [11:45] that's ok, usgi, i have come around a solution online as yet .... i'll just have to continue to be on the lookout [11:46] *haven't come around one [11:46] CaneToad: [11:48] gaberlunzie: yes these things often take time, but thankfully 10.04 is a long term project - a lot of bugs get ironed out in these releases [11:50] anyone know link or name of program in I can make flash movies ? === ericm|ubuntu is now known as ericm-away [11:51] is there a command that will tell me which USB slots are 1.0 and which are 2.0?

[11:53] if there is not an option a folder i can delete ? [11:53] karlo: I THINK you can actaully make .swf files in openoffice draw? [11:54] om : there is a folder with history somewhere in your home dir [11:54] I gonna try [11:54] om: Is there any .empathy or something like that? [11:55] blahblah_, i was looking in my home folder and hidden folders like .gnome and .config but could not find it [11:55] .local/share/Empathy [11:55] I have a scanner that is identified as /dev/bus/usb/00x/00x where x keeps changing every time I reboot the computer. the problem is, i need that 00x to be executable by a certain group, but because it's a new thing every time, I have to chmod every time i reboot. Is there a way I can make them rwx on creation or something?

[11:58] There must be a way to parse Evolution's .db files. What file format do they use? [11:58] Or which? [11:58] yea but its not what I'm loking for... === zz_WhiteKIBA is now known as WhiteKIBA [11:59] karlo: no problem, I'll keep looking :) [11:59] is there any gimp flash plug-in (so I can make flash in gimp) ?

[11:59] you probably want to use something like inkscape for flash vector art [12:00] Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order) ;) [12:01] hi there. ubuntu 10.04, when i do an apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-graph-dev libboost-serialization-dev are kept back - any idea why? i got no apt preferences for this set [12:02] pvh_sa: they're kept back because they didn't do well in school [12:02] USGIshimura, ah! clearly! apt-cache policy seems to suggest otherwise though [12:02] pvh_sa: on a more serious note, perhaps it has something to do with dependencies? [12:03] why so serious? lol [12:04] Hello. When I plug in a USB broadband UMTS device I can use it to make an internet connection (including entering the PIN for the SIM card). Is this possible using the live CD too? [12:04] vlt: I'm sure it would be, I don't see why not [12:04] vlt: the only way to know for sure is to try it! [12:05] vlt, yes, as long as you didnt have to install any drivers :) [12:05] yes all things are possible, th questions are you lucky? too get the right hard ware [12:06] with that my friend, you get everything done better faster [12:06] KrisDouglas: I don't remember having to install drivers. It worked right out of the box with an installed 10.04. So there's everything needed already on the standard desktop install CD, right? [12:07] vlt, you mean vware? box? [12:07] vlt: yes, that's correct [12:07] dustin: No, a real physical machine ;-) [12:07] vlt: I don't see any reason why it won't work [12:07] hehe smarty** pants [12:07] USGIshimura, KrisDouglas: Ok, thank you.

A version of this driver that works with your hardware is not available in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. which I accepted, and am just wondering if I can get these drivers?

[12:21] awk: go for it, I haven't even bothered to install my 3D drivers since they're annoying [12:21] ahmad_: there's 2 versions of virtualbox: OSE which means Open Source Edition and the usb are not supported, and the non open source, just uninstall the OSE version go to virtualbox.org and install the non OSE for USB support [12:21] ahmad_: check it: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads ubuntu repos contain the OSE version which does NOT contain USB support. if you want USB suppoort, get the main binary (i.e. not OSE) [12:22] MaRk-I: haha, you beat me to it ;) [12:22] theres your answer ahmad_: :D [12:22] randy_: oops ;^) [12:22] au [12:22] MaRk-I: what? no! you beat me in the race to the answer! congrats ;) [12:22] Is it possible to create a small (64MB) bootable USB drive (with GRUB) that will run Ubuntu from the live CD image on an NTFS partition? === maek is now known as Guest25422 [12:22] Rudemeister: yes? [12:23] USGIshimura: I think, it might actually be a an issue with it picking up the screen.. been years since I played with X... think around the early slackware days... so allot of the Xconfigurator options are long gone :P [12:23] awk: it could be, got another monitor hanging around? [12:23] vlt: the only problem i can see with that is i doubt that ubuntu can fit in a 64mb image [12:23] USGIshimura: will check :D [12:23] vlt: I second randy_'s doubt [12:23] dont neded with a virual one [12:23] ok I want to backup my system..on this lappy...and take it to my new lappy [12:23] thx u all (^_^) [12:24] good luck ahmad_: [12:24] randy_: I only want to put GRUB there, maybe a kernel and an initrd.img that will bootstrap the iso from the ntfs partition [12:24] there are things that I want to back up (tbird emails/settings/etc) [12:24] can I just copy over the home folder? [12:24] vlt: furthermore, ubuntu, and all its variants, won't ever run natively on an NTFS partition. [12:24] hello guys.. how do i share specific directory with another user on this same box ? [12:24] randy_: Just the image [12:25] what permissions should be set for ssh keys? [12:25] I have this problem http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/2mhD2buE [12:25] randy_, USGIshimura: When I put the kernel on the USB drive and an initrd.img that mounts the iso from the ntfs partition? [12:25] dustin, was that in response to me? [12:25] Hello, I am using Ubuntu server and I have created a new user there. When I am using 'su ' command, console becomes much less functional. There is no autocomplete and only '$' sign is shown. No usename at all. What can be the problem? How can I fix that? Thanks [12:26] au: your private keys should be 600... [12:26] randy_: will that prevent a dual boot from happening? [12:26] vlt: trust me, even if the usb stick is just for your bootup, it can't be NTFS. besides the structural ramifications behind why that won't happen, grub can't actually boot from NTFS. it relays the boot to the NTFS partition where window's bootloader takes over... [12:26] jrib: thanks. [12:26] au: .pub is generally not a private key however. [12:27] randy_: So I need the kernel on the drive too, right? The kernel should be able to read ntfs and find the actual ISO file to continue ... [12:28] /j #grml [12:28] vlt: honestly, an endeavour like the one you're referring to is hefty even for me. [12:28] oops [12:28] AdvoWork, about what? [12:28] vlt: yes, stop being adventurous! how dare you! haha [12:28] au: That seems strange because it's assuming your id_rsa.pub key is your private key! Your id_rsa.pub is your public key. Strange. [12:29] weird [12:29] au: You're on a Mac, right? [12:29] lol, just being cautious is a pc thing [12:29] yes [12:29] thought I'd drop in here as it's a terminal thing eheh [12:30] vlt: just take my advice and stay far far away from NTFS when doing anything linux/unix/gnu. NTFS is microsoft proprietary and thus the linux implementations of NTFS are ~ok~ but not great and prone to wierd bugginess. [12:30] au: Ok. Well I just checked on my mac and the permissions for my private key are indeed 600 but for my id_dsa.pub key (public key), they are 644. [12:30] au: So I can't imagine why your system thinks your public key is your private key! [12:31] hola [12:31] vlt: for some reason, i feel like you're trying to boot ubuntu ~thru~ windows without touching your harddrive. if thats what you want to do, let me suggest something like wubi [12:31] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616055 [12:31] !wubi | vlt [12:31] vlt: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting.

I'm not sure what other tricks to try ? [12:32] are dual boots between win 7 and ubuntu a good thing...like are they reliable? [12:32] lets test it [12:32] ubuntu-server, 64-bit, running a distribution supplied kernel (linux-virtual) [12:32] antonio__ very reliable [12:32] randy_: I'm afraid I failed to explain exactly what I need ... I need the NTFS only to hold the ISO image. So grub(2) or the kernel only has to _read_ that single file. [12:32] ksoftirqd/2 is constantly at 25-40% CPU [12:32] awk: its likely that X doesn't like your monitor. let me guess, your monitor is old ... and doesn't probably support EDID reporting...

[13:05] vlt good I will learn this tool [13:06] randy_, yes, nvidia === tyler is now known as Guest52419 === Guest52419 is now known as tyler82 [13:06] Chillance: reference the Nvidia documentation for the Nvidia linux drivers on something called 'TwinView' [13:06] I mean, I dont want to disable the second screen all the time [13:07] Chillance: this is what i'm doing, and i like it a *lot* i can full screen either monitor (without spreading it out across both) and i keep the ability to move my mouse between them like its one big desktop [13:07] hi there, trying to install a driver in 10.04, for: AMD 'fglrx' graphics driver but can't get it to work no matter what. any suggestions please? === phper-jeff is now known as txsky7 [13:07] romanoff: Are you sure you set /bin/bash as the login shell, and not /bin/sh for example? [13:07] Chillance: but, to answer your question, fullscreen works the way i want, on only *one* monitor, in wine [13:07] AdvoWork: Tell the channel the Chipset you are using. [13:08] romanoff: getent passwd the_username # to check [13:08] randy_, yes, in wine I get it on one screen too, but the mouse coordinates are off [13:09] running a few ubuntu games, it gets stretched across both screens [13:09] Chillance: well, if you have that problem, you should probably go ask the wine guys then ;) i just know how to help with the dual-monitor thing ;) [13:09] romanoff: It sounds like you created the user using 'useradd', not 'adduser.' Copy the contents from /etc/skel/ into your new user's home directory to fix any shell issues. [13:09] I just want games to show up on one screen [13:09] so [13:09] randy_, do you use some special script or so to trigger where the game show up? [13:09] Pici: I'm fairly certain useradd also copies skel [13:10] the desktop runs over both screens [13:11] geirha: Does it? hmm. [13:11] Chillance: i use nvidia + 2 monitors. I enable twinview and most games/pro0grams work properluy and know to stay on one screem and not maxxamize across both. A few badly written progrms still have issues - but i would consider that a bug in the program [13:11] Chillance: yeah, i agree with Dr_Willis === lunavorax is now known as lunavorax_brb [13:12] ok, take "Lincity-NG" for instance, that one comes up on both screens when I run it [13:13] Chillance: check the programs forums. it may be a known bug [13:13] hmm, ok thanks === qwiepqiwepoqiwep is now known as yuerk === tyler__ is now known as tyler82 [13:14] Where can I get a download URL for Ubuntu Desktop Edition 32-bit? [13:15] www.ubuntu.com vlt [13:15] bazhang: Can't find the URL there [13:16] bazhang: There's a "Start Download" button but no URL [13:16] Pici: Well, if you add the -m option that is, but it seems to me the problem is that it's not actually bash. Even without any .profile/.bashrc, tab-completion should work. [13:16] Dr_Willis, how do i find thta out, sorry [13:17] AdvoWork: 'lspci' and see what the VGA line shows. [13:17] geirha: I meant my fix in addition to yours, I don't think I was clear on that. [13:17] bazhang: Ok, found one behind "complete download location list". [13:21] what is the force removal command for apt or aptitude? I've tried "apt-get remove --purge PACKAGENAME" and "aptitude --force remove PACKAGENAME" and it refuses to repair [13:21] jeeves_Moss: force should be a last resort [13:21] jrib, lol, I'm @ that point right now. the uninstall script is buggered [13:21] jeeves_Moss: why don't you tell us about it? [13:22] Which package? [13:22] jrib, one sec. I think I'l getting the pruning sheers out here [13:23] askhader, icedtea6-plugin [13:24] hi, anybody can help me with nautilus, multiple hdd's and filesystem in Ubuntu 10.04? [13:24] one sec guys, pastebin coming up [13:24] Does Ubunutu have a version descriptor file in /etc that shows which version you are running, like most other distros? And if so, what is it, and where is it if not in /etc? [13:24] jefchenko: ask an actual question [13:24] Psi-Jack: why? [13:24] !version | Psi-Jack [13:24] Psi-Jack: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [13:24] Psi-Jack, lsb_release -a ? [13:24] jrib: I'm debugging things. [13:25] $ cat /etc/lsb-release [13:25] jrib: Why does nautilus hide internal hdd's used by the OS and filesystem in for example 'Computer' or 'Places' [13:25] Hmm. Interesting. hehe [13:25] jefchenko: they should be available at their mount points [13:26] Hmm.. My 'internal hds' are under Computer: [13:26] jrib, bazhang, Dr_Willis: Thanks. :) [13:26] Psi-Jack, welcome :) [13:27] jrib: you mean the mount points on /etc/media for example? [13:27] jefchenko: I guess you mean /media/*, yeah [13:28] i need a raphical tool to synchronize a remote ftp folder with a local one, please don't refer rsync as long as i said graphical and i'm not allowed to install rsync on remote server [13:28] jrib: I tried that, but one hdd I used for my /home dir, which is already mounted in fstab. But I want it to show op in computer or places. [13:29] cablop: You don't need to have rsync installed remotely, it can just use ssh. [13:29] Pici: Thanks. I have already recreated user with adduser. This works now :) I just was working on this problem solution and didn't see that you wrote. Thanks again :)( [13:29] i'm not allowed to ssh too [13:29] jefchenko: ok, in that case its mount point is /home, so you would get at its files by going to /home. If you want it to show up in the nautilus sidebar, you could add a bookmark [13:30] jefchenko: the automatic things that show up in Places is stuff that Gnome mounts automatically for you. i.e. stuff that is *not* in /etc/fstab [13:30] jrib: yes I know about bookmarks, but what about the 'computer' [13:30] jrib, did you get the pastebin link? freenode kicked me [13:30] jeeves_Moss: no [13:31] jrib, http://pastebin.com/9zLi12Nz [13:31] jeeves_Moss: don't know about computer:///, I consider it useless [13:31] Hmmm, interesting. [13:31] jrib, ??? computer:////? [13:32] is there any webcam program for ubuntu? [13:32] jeeves_Moss: isn't that what you are talking about... [13:32] heoa, cheese camorama === agirard_ is now known as david2_limsi [13:32] heoa, are you thinking chat or just to take pics from a webcam? [13:32] I have two Ubuntu 10.04 systems, both fully up-to-date. lsb_release -a on one shows 10.04.1, the other just 10.04 without the .1.. [13:32] jrib: (mistab) [13:32] jeeves_Moss: for security camerea [13:32] Pici: ah... [13:33] jeeves_Moss: it means a picture every minute or so [13:33] heoa, I know cheese will just take pics from your webcam [13:33] jefchenko: we are not clear on whatyou are expecting to show up in computer:/// - it shows the physical hard drives and devices here. and / [13:33] Dr_Willis: he left [13:33] heoa, you could set up a cron to take a pic, and mencode to make them into a time lapse video [13:33] that will show him wont it! :) [13:33] Dr_Willis, the chipset is: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] [13:34] AdvoWork: means very little to me, i dont use ATI. You should include such info in your questions about video. its possible thats not supported by the FGLRX drivers. I dont use them so dont know. [13:34] oh, any further suggestions then? [13:35] Pici, romanoff: And testing a bit with useradd, it sets the shell to /bin/sh by default (while adduser sets it to /bin/bash). That explains why tab-completion didn't work and why it didn't source .bashrc. [13:35] heoa, I'll be back in ~15 mins. I just have to walk down to the shop [13:35] jrib, ??? computer:////? [13:35] AdvoWork: ask the channel. and ALWAYS include what your video card/chipset is when asking about video prohlems [13:35] jeeves_Moss: that was meant for someone else [13:35] jeeves_Moss: roger [13:35] jrib,brb, ~15 mins. I need to talk to the shop [13:35] cablop: read post #12 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=955743&page=2 and here's another similar http://www.linux.com/community/blogs/Using-lftp-to-synchronize-folders-with-a-FTP-account.html [13:36] heylo all... my broadcom STA wireless driver shows as "activated but currently not in use" ... i need to remove it and activate it again every time i boot in order to use wireless.. is there any fix for this? [13:36] thanks.. [13:36] Dr_Willis, someone posted: First, the fglrx drivers from AMD/ATI stopped supporting that GPU over a year ago. You'll have to use the open source drivers (which do support 3D acceleration and run compiz just fine). how would i find them? tried restricted drivers, done searches on google yet nothing [13:36] thanks MaRk-I [13:37] cablop: yw [13:37] AdvoWork: they are allready included.. the restricted drivers ARE tjhe fglrx drivers. === xxx is now known as kopernik0 [13:38] Open sourced drivers - allready included.. restricted - isntalled via the 'hardware drivers' tool or via download from the ATi web sites [13:38] hi all.. does somebody here is having problems whit kopete+msn?

[14:27] hi folks :) [14:27] NTFS or VFAT [14:27] xorg is using 34 percent [14:27] i use NTFS on external disks [14:27] too much hassle otherwise [14:28] now its using 49 percent [14:28] i want to set Chrome as the default browser in Gnome in Ubuntu 9.10, if i do it works for that session but after i restarted my laptop it's back to using Firefox as it's default [14:28] and Linux is smarter than windows, so sadly you need to cater to the lowest common denominator [14:28] i also tried setting it with update-alternatives but no go with that either [14:28] tsims, that's a lot, mine uses like 2% [14:29] any idea of what might be causing it? [14:29] beeman_nl: This is using prefs preferred apps? [14:29] tsims you run on the right server for your video chipset ? [14:29] philinux: yes indeed, and Chrome is just in the list there :) [14:29] Tsims: flash ? [14:30] beachbrake: system/preferences/preferred applications? [14:30] i believe so, how do i check that? [14:30] ahrr my bad.... beeman_nl system/preferences/preferred apps [14:30] MaRk-I: that is where i'm changing it yes [14:31] folx, when use ctrl-alt-F1 to open a new screen, i get these error infinitally and can do nothing - hints & tips? http://paste.ubuntu.com/471108/ [14:32] hi, is there an easy way to switch from debian to ubuntu? the system i want to switch has no cd nor usb... so i thought just downloading a netboot or so from the console [14:32] is there any way I can adjust the monitor brightness using open source ATI drivers? [14:33] why audiocall & videocall are grayed on pidgin? can i enable them somehow or are there just for decoration? [14:33] cens0red: google, brightness applet if your using gnome [14:33] Hello. I am using Amazon Ec2 and Ubuntu Server 10.04. I have allowed users to go to 80 port through EC2 panel. But when I am launching my web app on 80 port - I get 2010-07-30 13:29:10] WARN TCPServer Error: Permission denied - bind(2) [14:33] Exiting [14:33] /home/ubuntu/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-head/lib/ruby/1.9.1/webrick/utils.rb:73:in `initialize': Permission denied - bind(2) (Errno::EACCES) [14:33] . Don't you know what should I change in Ubuntu? I have looked in netstat and port 80 seems to be free. And ideas? [14:33] romanoff: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:33] Hi, I currently have my machine configured to route via eth1 (eth1 is dhcp) with a second interface on eth0 [14:33] aeon-ltd [14:33] the connection on eth1 is down, so I'm trying to get it to get a connection via dhcp via eth0 (another router) [14:33] after removing routes, dhclient eth0 etc. [14:34] I still can't get a connection via eth0 - I've even tried commenting out the eth1 section of /etc/network/interfaces and restarting networking to no avail [14:34] i cant format it i try but there is a message : Error creating file sistem is there any chances that usb flash drive is crashed ? [14:34] beeman_nl: ret gconf-editor the key value is /desktop/gnome/applications/browser/exec [14:36] why audiocall & videocall are grayed on pidgin? can i enable them somehow? [14:36] i cant format it i try but there is a message : Error creating file sistem is there any chances that usb flash drive is crashed ? [14:36] philinux: oke, i'll check that value :) [14:37] philinux: the correct value is there (now that i set it manually), i will check what the setting is after a reboot [14:37] beeman_nl: just log out then in [14:38] question. When i go to mysql.com and i download the server. I choose Linux -Generic, it gives me another list. How do i know which one I need? [14:38] example Generic Linux (glibc 2.3) (IA-64), RPM Package [14:38] aeon-ltd thanks but I already have that applet. Just doesn't work for some reason.

[14:39] weird science... [14:39] !lamp | unclemantis [14:39] unclemantis: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [14:40] Hello, something doesn't let me start web app on port 80. How can I check what process is using this port? I tried 'sudo netstat -anp | grep 80', but nothing appeared [14:40] folx, when use ctrl-alt-F1 to open a new screen, i get these error infinitally and can do nothing - hints & tips? http://paste.ubuntu.com/471108/ [14:40] romanoff: sudo lsof -i :80 [14:41] erUSUL: Nothing [14:41] romanoff: then something else is interfering. maybe apparmor ? [14:41] * unclemantis is checking out erUSUL's recommendation [14:42] erUSUL: How can I check if it is apparmor? [14:42] romanoff: really dunno; i have it disabled... [14:42] romanoff: maybe in #ubuntu-server they know [14:42] erUSUL: Thanks a lot. Will ask there [14:43] romanoff: try netstat -antp [14:43] unclemantis: "sudo tasksel install lamp-server" shud install all you need. for setting it up read the wiki [14:43] says install MySQL using any method if I am using PHP5 [14:43] erUSUL I already have Apache and PHP set up and I have Cassandra and Thrift configured too. I do not want to break this [14:43] beeman_nl: is this for opening html files? [14:44] unclemantis: aso whats the problem? [14:44] how do I allow ssh connections from the internet on my ssh server running on my desktop? [14:44] unclemantis: ok. then install only mysql-server package [14:44] philinux i mainly try it by clicking links, or having my IDE open my browser for me [14:44] c3l: Are you behind a router? [14:44] and I do that by sudo aptitude install mysql-server [14:44] unclemantis: Yes. [14:44] k. thank you [14:44] c3l: install the ssh server. make sure no firewall is blcking it. configure your router to foprward the port [14:44] c3l are you on an adsl modem or such ? then you have to forward port to your server [14:44] unclemantis: yes [14:44] askhader: yes, but it rarely messes with me [14:44] beeman_nl: IDE? [14:45] c3l: Okay, you will need to configure a port 22 forward to your desktop. [14:45] Or whatever port you want to use. [14:45] okay, but there is no settings I need to set to allow internet connections to the ssh server? [14:45] Hi everyone, I was messing with ndiswrapper last night trying to fix a light issue I was having with my wireless card, and now ubuntu doesn't see it at all in the ifconfig. I can see it when listing my lspci -nn [14:45] philinux: yeah, when i run a web project in Netbeans [14:45] like /etc/hosts* or so? [14:45] c3l: No [14:45] c3l: Unless you want to generate some authenticating keys. [14:45] if ive got a folder full of images, that are 1.gif, 2.gif and so on, i need to mass rename these so 1.gif becomes testfile_1_id=123.gif any ideas please? [14:45] philinux: after i log in both the browsers correctly see who is the default and who is not [14:46] c3l: no; in you router you have to forward the port like you do for a webserver or bitttorrent [14:46] AdvoWork: You could do this with bash or a perl script. [14:46] !sshd | c3l [14:46] c3l: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, sshd is the server (or daemon) of SSH. For setting up the SSH server, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html . Advanced SSH uses: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Advanced . For SSH client information, see !ssh . Related: !scp (Secure CoPy) [14:46] askhader: what about the line in sshd_config #Listen Address ? [14:46] c3l: irrelevant. [14:46] beeman_nl: for links Right click and select "Properties" (not "Open with") and select the application [14:46] c3l: leave as is. it will listen in all addresses [14:46] is it possible in ssh to store more than one id_rsa's? === quyongwei is now known as wo [14:47] grendal_prime: sure. you mean in an ssh-agent? [14:47] hi, my sound applet is not appearing when I boot my netbook. How can I open it after boot? [14:47] Hi, i'm using 10.4 with chromium from the daily ppa, i can't seem to watch youtube/html5 ("your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available"), despite chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra being installed [14:47] erUSUL: aah thanks alot guys :) (portforwarding is dont by connecting to to my router and changing it, it cant be done with a linux tool, right?) [14:47] c3l: A browser. [14:47] c3l: correct. [14:47] beeman_nl: once in properties use the open with tab to set the default [14:47] philinux: there is no Properties when i rightclick a link (i'm trying on links in Terminal) [14:48] like i have my usual rsa i use to connect to servers im maintaining. but i have a box i have to use a specific one for. and i need to be able to scp stuff to it and i cant do that because im connecting with the -identity file [14:48] philinux: and my .html files are set to open with gedit :) [14:48] I think html5 video worked before, but i'm not entirely sure. Does this work for someone else? [14:48] sipior, ive never (to my knowledge) used an ssh-agent [14:48] how would one go about doing that? [14:48] grendal_prime: should happen by default on the ubuntu desktop, as i recall. [14:48] i cant just add another id_rsa file to the .ssh folder? [14:48] hi how can I check that linux is litening on port 443? [14:49] beeman_nl: not at all sure then [14:49] grzesag: nmap [14:49] grzesag: "netstat -antup | grep 443" [14:49] or that [14:49] philinux: thanks for your time anyway :) i should upgrade to 10.04 anyway sooner or later :) [14:49] grzesag: sudo lsof -i [14:49] thanks [14:50] Hi, Ubuntu worked fine for me, until I was messing around with ndiswrapper, but when I removed ndiswrapper, no I have no wireless, any ideas? [14:50] beeman_nl: one last thing to try. Try going to Preferred Application, and choose Custom on write this:/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser %s [14:50] helo [14:50] philinux: i tried setting one manually before but no go, but i'll try it again :) [14:50] ok, advice please: I am reformattting a 400+ hd. What partitions and what size for a fresh install of Ooboontoo? [14:51] I want to know how do i install login screen in ubuntu? [14:51] how can i run an sh file in a terminal? [14:51] Garagegoblin, you normally use ndiswrapper to use binary drivers for wlan, so if you take them away and you were using binary drivers it won't work [14:51] livingdaylight: 12gig root /swap and reset /home on it's own partitoin [14:51] livingdaylight, I hop you mean 400 gig :) [14:51] hello everyone, using suse 11.3 gnome, I liked ubuntu notification applet very much, how can I install it in my suse [14:51] livingdaylight, If it is currently completely unformatted I suggest using the Ubuntu installer. It will make helpful suggestions for all of that. [14:51] azlon: sh foo.sh [14:52] just type the path and the filename (maybe chmod 777 before if you do not have permission) [14:52] bareego: thanks, but i wasn't originally using ndiswrapper. Ubuntu ran my wireless almost flawlessly by itself [14:52] edbian, default ubuntu installer only creates root [14:52] philinux: nope, still seeing firefox as default... i guess i'll leave it for now, thanks for you help :) [14:52] philinux, should I bother with swap with 4gb ram? [14:52] livingdaylight, That's an acceptable solution. Do you want something else? [14:52] I was messing with ndiswrapper, because I was having a slight issue, and thought going that route was going to help, but it didn't [14:52] Hello, I ve just installed Ubuntu in a 3 year old laptop.. for a moment the sound was configured corrctly, now its gone again... how can i make it come back? [14:52] livingdaylight: if you plan to use suspend then yes [14:52] livingdaylight: i give my 4gb machine a 1gb swapfile, almost never uses it [14:53] livingdaylight, If you don't have a swap and you run out of ram (I know that's unlikely) then the system simply crashes. If you have at least 50 Mb of swap it won't. [14:53] so you want to work without ndiswrapper now ? [14:53] i don't do suspends [14:53] edbian, thx [14:53] livingdaylight: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [14:54] bareego: yes, ubuntu already knows how, when I run the live cd it works, no problems, I just need to remind my system to look at itself instead of ndiswrapper [14:54] livingdaylight, If you're looking for a more detailed partition scheme. I would go with 1GB of swap, 7Gb of root, and the rest /home [14:54] Gametime, does it load a module for your chipset ? [14:54] Garagegoblin, Why not just remove ndiswrapper? [14:54] he did ;) [14:54] yea i did [14:54] folx, when use ctrl-alt-F1 to open a new screen, i get these error infinitally and can do nothing - hints & tips? http://paste.ubuntu.com/471108/ === Aiya is now known as Aiyak [14:55] edbian, ok, in the past i know people also created /var and /usr, but that's going to far is it? [14:55] livingdaylight, I think it's overkill. But some don't. It's opinion. [14:55] Garagegoblin, does it load the module for your chipset ? [14:56] livingdaylight, You could create a separate partition for literally each and every folder on the file system. Although that would get crazy. [14:56] yea it lists in lspci -nn it is there, but not when I do ifconfig [14:56] why do all beginning single quotes and and double quotes appear as backticks on my ubuntu based machines? [14:56] Garagegoblin, how about iwconfig [14:57] no [14:57] just my loopback and my ethernet card [14:57] im back! [14:58] you still have the wirless extensions package thingy installed ? [14:58] my sound applet is not appearing when I boot my netbook. How can I open it after boot? [14:58] ah, you would with iwconfig... [14:58] bareego: I am not sure what that is [14:59] Plz test someone if apturl works, see link in the middle http://www.unknown-horizons.org/site/index.php?page=sources [14:59] I have removed and reinstalled the linux-backports-wireless options with restarts and no luck either [15:00] Hi - two days ago I downloaded and installed the latest Ubuntu ...I then installed vnc4server ...when I vnc in to the machine i get a blank desktop (no icons, no title-bar, "no nothing") ...I have read many articles but none have solved it - it *seems* (to my-n00b-self) that editing /root/.vnc/xstartup has no effect - is there anything else I can try? [15:01] Where does one register a complaint about functionality? It's not a bug per se, but more an issue that I wonder if is being addressed [15:01] econdudeawesome, ubuntu brainstorm? [15:01] #ubuntu_brainstorm? [15:01] would be fine if someone could tell me if the link works, cause on my debian it does not [15:02] sipior: Sorry, I was in Ubuntu-server channel. Nobody answers there for now. -antp parameters for netstat didn't help. Still nothing on port 80 [15:02] hello everyone, using suse 11.3 gnome, I liked ubuntu notification applet very much, how can I install it in my suse [15:02] my sound applet is not appearing when I boot my netbook. How can I open it after boot? [15:02] econdudeawesome, It's a website: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CB0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbrainstorm.ubuntu.com%2F&rct=j&q=Ubuntu%20Brainstrom&ei=ZNtSTI7cKIuhnQfU0pW_Aw&usg=AFQjCNHWjZknyMJjuU-fuElrv49l8LKnvw [15:02] econdudeawesome, Whoops try this link: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ [15:03] Is there a channel specifically for VNC ? [15:03] PLz try someone the aptURL link on the page, some Ubuntuusers ask for that, see link in the middle http://www.unknown-horizons.org/site/index.php?page=sources [15:03] hi guys. [15:03] I'm trying, from an ubuntu client, to ssh -X into a fedora server. when I do that, it seems the DISPLAY variable is left empty. is that normal? when I ssh -X from either Mac or Fedora, the DISPLAY variable gets set to localhost:10.0 [15:03] hi Mouton [15:04] does anyone know how to make my xorg run at a lower percentage? [15:05] Mouton, Default display in Ubuntu is localhost:0.0 [15:05] Tsims, u can use a lighter wm/de [15:05] Tsims, how much CPU is it using? [15:05] does a restart help? [15:05] romanoff: You'll need to start your server as root (sudo) and then drop back to lower privs to bind to any port under 1000 iirc. [15:05] edbian: I know, but 0:0 is for the local X server [15:05] I ve installed Ubuntu on a 3 year old Presario V6000 laptop and the display is to dull.. how can I brigthen it up or saturate it? [15:05] my fedora is running with no X server, thus why I'm using X forwarding. [15:06] plz test someone the APTURL on this page http://www.unknown-horizons.org/site/index.php?page=sources [15:06] it jumps around, when idle its like 8 percent but when im running things on my computer it goes anywhere between 30 and 70 percent. [15:06] Mouton, Both computers must have X running in order to X Forward. [15:06] dont know if it works [15:06] romanoff: i.e., apache2 starts as root to bind to port 80, then drops down to run as www-data. [15:06] when i type in gnome-terminal fdisk /dev/sda i recive this message '' unable to open /dev/sda what is the problem why i cant open my usb ???? [15:06] on my desktop it never goes above 9 [15:06] Mouton, Is fedora the ssh server? And Ubuntu is the client? [15:06] Kilian, what is it supposed to install? [15:06] edbian: I doubt that. X isn't running on my fedora and I can ssh -X just fine from Mac. [15:06] Pici: Will try to do that. [15:06] Fedora is the server. I try to connect from Ubuntu. [15:07] uRock: lot of packges like python scons stuff like that [15:07] -X should set the DISPLAY environment variable, but it doesn't. [15:07] Mouton, If X isn't running what are you forwarding? If there are no graphical applications on the server there is nothing to forward to your client. [15:07] it does whet I use a fedora or Mac client, but not when I use an Unbuntu client. [15:07] I can start a UI app from the ssh command line [15:07] I'd have to boot a vbox, give me a minute [15:07] and it should display on the client's mac server [15:07] *the client's X server [15:08] uRock: that are all depencies to build Unknown Horizons from source [15:08] it jumps around, when idle its like 8 percent but when im running things on my computer it goes anywhere between 30 and 70 percent. [15:08] * bleah is afk ... play`n poker [15:08] !away > bleah [15:08] bleah, please see my private message [15:09] Mouton, Graphical or Command Line every program has a U.I. X forwarding allows you to have graphical U.I.s give me an example of the application you want to x-forward. [15:09] xeyes [15:09] can anyone solve my proble i think that my usb drive going wrong or i do something wrong ? all i want is to format my usb i try admin/disk utilities it doesnt work i try gnome terminal dosent work too [15:09] on my mac, I do: ssh -X server [15:09] then run: xeyes [15:09] hellow everyone.. [15:09] xeyes appears in my X11 running on my Mac. [15:09] the same doesn't work when I use Ubuntu instead of Mac. [15:10] Anyone know of a secure non reccoverable harddrive purge? [15:10] Mouton, ahhhh I think I'm getting it now. Sorry about that I had this block in my head that said "you can't have any graphical programs on a server without X" but it appears likely now that you can. Is that right? [15:10] can anyone tell me how to run PHP programs?? [15:10] kerebrus: just overwrite it with dd, that's fine. [15:10] thermite [15:10] Kilian], it just went to their page, not an apt-url [15:11] vivek243 you need a apache server running php [15:11] uRock: on the page is the apturl [15:11] edbian: well, I do have X installed, but it's not running. but xeyes was just an example. [15:11] kerebrus: you can pipe /dev/random to dd and repeat a few times [15:11] Mouton, I found this? Did you enable X-forwarding on the server? http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/debian-user@lists.debian.org/8684388.html [15:11] uRock: in the middle [15:11] kerebrus i have it.. [15:11] how do I retrieve photos across a camera cable? I'd prefer not to use my damaged card reader. [15:11] Hello , How can I mount a folder of my external hard drive? [15:11] vivek243: php -f myscript.php [15:11] I installed CrashPlan, which has no X requirements, but it needs a X to display it's UI [15:11] kerebrus: i'd said that simply zeroing the hard drive is enough... but you can use wipe [15:12] Mouton, that's a contradiction in terms. please restate. [15:12] vivek243 theres a www directory, one sec need to find where apache puts that [15:12] blendmaster1024_: plug in camera to usb [15:12] philinux, done that already. [15:12] edbian: server X11 forwarding works fine, as it works with a Mac client. [15:12] blendmaster1024_: does it show up in places [15:12] Kilian], it is trying to work. It says it is for building debian packages. [15:12] philinux, nope. [15:12] blendmaster1024_: what does lsusb show [15:12] urock, k thanks [15:12] Alright thanks for all the answers im setting up a server for a business and they want a secure way to remove harddrives in case of wanting to upgrade [15:12] kerebrus: There's also shred [15:12] philinux, oh wait, it does in "computer" - just not in the menus. stupid gnome ... [15:13] Anyone know how I can alter the way gvfs and udev mount removable device on my Ubuntu 10.04 Gnome system? [15:13] My vbox is Ubuntu 10.10, so I am not going to let it install. It might kill the box [15:13] blendmaster1024_: off you go then [15:13] kerebrus yes there is www directory in /var [15:13] blendmaster1024_: I can install CrashPlan even without having X installed. i.e. the install doesn't look for X. but if I try to launch the UI, I need either a local X server running, or be X-forwarding. [15:13] Mouton, I'm not sure! I read another comment on there that talked about DNS and reverse DNS not syncing correctly. Not sure if that's the case. [15:13] kerebrus, used to service police hdds, they made you drill some holes in them [15:13] blendmaster1024_: there is a setting to change that to show mounted drives on the desktop [15:14] vivek243 you put your php files in that directory, pull up a browser and point to localhost, what issue are you having with running them? [15:14] philinux, I have that one off, I like my desktop empty. it's supposed to show up in 'places' though. [15:14] why do I get sound if I run amarok, but if I try to listen to music or googlevoice message in firefox,I get no sound? [15:14] Mouton, I must admit I am surprised that your system allows you to install graphical apps without depending on the X server. [15:14] kerebrus it gives an error as 404 not found.. [15:14] Heya, just a general question: Are there any background processes, or applications that come with ubuntu that I should/can delete to speed up my netbook? [15:15] vivek243 is your apache service started and running? [15:15] kerebrus yes.. [15:15] edbian: that was just some random example anyway. I do have X installed. but it's not running. [15:15] because I don't need it, because normally X-forwading works just fine. [15:15] kerebrus 1 second, how one can know it? [15:15] You don't need an X server to run graphical apps, just a way to forward X [15:16] electro057, Decide for yourself. Look at the system monitor or alternatively ps -e in the term. Go through everything in the list one by one, learn what they do, decide if you want them. [15:16] yo [15:16] electro057, Although I warn you, there isn't a whole lot of programs in there that are completely pointless that everybody would want to kill / uninstall. [15:17] I'm just worried I'll kill something important [15:17] electro057: a helpful app for that is bum [15:17] electro057, So what, restart the computer and it'll come back. [15:17] electro057, If you uninstall something important all you'll have to do is re-install it and restart. [15:17] yeah or you will just get a bogged down computer1 [15:18] kerebrus u there?? [15:18] Did that once, had to reinstall.....was using synaptic and deleted some important things....wouldn't boot [15:18] hi yall [15:18] electro057, I don't think it's possible to un-install things using the package manager and make the system un-usable. Probably the worst you can do is make it annoying to use :P [15:18] electro057: if you want a more lightweight solution, I suggest not using Gnome or KDE or similar. use som lightweight WM as xmonad, and add only the tools you need [15:18] electro057, or you could use a GUI with lower memory usage [15:18] electro057, lubuntu is lean [15:19] lightweight? whats this? [15:19] electro057: try apt-get installing bum, it'll show the services you have running and lets you turn the ones you don't use [15:19] electro057, Really? What did you remove? [15:19] turn *off* [15:19] No Sound in Firefox?? [15:19] vivek243 yes sorry, was replying to your pm [15:20] Okay :D I'll try that, thanks ^.^ *to Guampa* and if that doesn't work I'll look for a lighter GUI, also I don't know what I uninstalled, it had something to do with that Kernel thinger [15:20] lol [15:20] haha [15:21] Hi! Ok I have 2 raid1 on my remote server, raid A has ubuntu server installed and raid B I have partitioned exactly as raid A but is apart from that empty, now I wish to clone everything from raid A to raid B so that I can remove raid A. So I need to make raid B bootable and a mirror image of raid A, how do I do that? [15:21] yoow [15:21] 1 [15:21] du n rlly know sorry (': [15:21] vivek243 check your pms [15:22] hey any1 alive ? [15:22] kerebrus: PMS? (Premenstrual syndrome) [15:22] Laggie: How is the RAID implemented? Hardware or software? [15:22] me [15:22] saymoo rofl pm's [15:23] yolan im quite dead [15:23] hehe [15:23] lojack: The Raid is hardware on a 3ware controller [15:23] yes and so is frankinsten [15:23] Laggie: Remote, huh? [15:24] lojack: It is positioned in a remote location so I have no physical access to it now. [15:24] Laggie: With physical access it would be easy. [15:24] lojack: Easier anyway but it must be possible anyway or? [15:24] any1 sees my reactions say ok ? [15:25] ok ? [15:25] ty xd [15:25] Hey everyone, i seek help concerning ubuntu OS, is it fine to post here a question? [15:25] sure [15:25] ayzen post away [15:25] /quit [15:25] ayzen, That is exactly what this channel is here for. [15:25] lol @ epiicfail [15:25] I was running ubuntu 9.10, everything was just fine [15:25] until after sometime, of not using it [15:25] exit [15:26] when i booted, i can open only one window [15:26] exit [15:26] when i open 2 windows at a same time [15:26] i loose control over them [15:26] in example i cant close it using mouse [15:26] just the keyboard shortcuts [15:26] ho to use .exe files in linux [15:27] cse24, with wine. check the appdb and join #winehq [15:27] cse24, Short answer, you cannot. Long answer, you might be able to using wine. [15:27] !appdb | cse24 [15:27] cse24: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [15:27] Can anyone guide me to some debbuging process of such behavior ? [15:27] can anyone help me to find out why https doesn't work on my ubuntu [15:28] I have LAMP installed and http works just fine, set up 3 virtual host [15:28] can access http but no https [15:28] may it is not posibl in [15:28] cse24, check the appdb [15:28] Hi Again :D Another nub question, what package do I have to install to play non-free forms of media? [15:29] I'm using m-player [15:29] electro057: ubuntu-restricted-extras if you use gnome [15:29] electro057, ubuntu-restricted-extras [15:29] man this is taking for ever to import 2.5 million records into this table. Is this normal or is the proccess hung? [15:29] How can I list all processes except the system processes (ie, the kintegrityd/0 stuff)? [15:29] process sounds hung like a horse [15:30] electro057: !medibuntu [15:30] My top has 121 processes, so it's hard to navigate, would be nice to be able to not show the system processes (like kintegrityd/0) [15:30] Is the "metacity" responsible for managing windows in ubuntu? [15:30] Laggie: Have you looked at the 3ware management tools? [15:30] !medibuntu | electro057 [15:30] electro057: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [15:30] electro057: http://medibuntu.org/ [15:30] how do I find out if an mp4 is ipod-ready via linux? [15:30] kerebrus u there?? [15:30] lojack: N, what can they help me with? [15:31] electro057, if you want to play encrypted dvd's you'll have to run sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [15:32] ^after getting the package mentioned before [15:32] electro057 are you kidding me or are you being serious? [15:32] \quit [15:32] I'm joking ^.^ [15:32] Laggie: Managing RAIDs on 3ware cards. [15:32] sigh [15:32] Thanks for all the help btw [15:34] electro057, please try to keep joking to #ubuntu-offtopic, no matter how good the joke may be :/ [15:34] Laggie: Its LSI now, but the 3ware downloads seem to point to LSI support. You're looking for tw_cli package. [15:34] this sucks [15:35] lojack: I will check it out [15:35] unclemantis what sucks? [15:35] Laggie: Look here http://www.cyberciti.biz/files/tw_cli.8.html [15:36] Hello. Does somebody knows how to synchronize Ipod Classic and Rhythmbox at ubuntu 10.04? [15:37] my sound applet does not appear when I boot my netbook. How can I open it after boot, or find out why it's not opening? [15:38] lojack: But Do I need to something with my raid? I have already set up the two raid 1 on the server, I can access it and I have even partitioned via vncviewer. I just want to clone everything from one to the other. I could probably manage ok to just copy everything but I need to make it bootable also and I do not know how to do that. [15:38] hey hey all. im trying to get this PCMCIA wireless adapter to work. [15:39] Laggie: The card exposes each RAID as a single volume, or a number of volumes, depending on how you set it up. [15:40] does anybody know about wine? [15:40] dustin, in #winehq [15:40] Laggie: You could just dd one volume to the other. But that is not the correct way to clone the RAID. [15:40] Morning/Evening everyone! [15:40] hih what that? [15:41] Laggie: The tools provided by the card manufacturer are designed to do what you want. [15:41] dustin, a channel [15:41] ok thanks:) [15:41] lojack: Ok I should look at it === Damn3d is now known as damn3d === damn3d is now known as Damn3d [15:41] Laggie: Its not like a boot flag in the partition table on a standard MS-DOS comp hard drive. [15:42] Laggie: The hardware controller is responsible for which RAID is bootable, and what is mirrored to what. [15:44] Does anyone know if there is an ftp server in the repositories that supports FTPES (explicit TLS/SSL over FTP)? I'd love to use sftp, but I don't have a choice in this situation. [15:44] Laggie: What kind of server is it? Hardware?

[15:46] helloo [15:46] hi [15:46] is there a way to install ubuntu so that it will run natively off of a flash drive, rather than having to use a live version? [15:47] surreal`, you can install ubuntu to usb pen drive. [15:47] surreal`, sure use unetbootin or if you want persistent see the bot link [15:47] Anyone know how I can alter the way gvfs and udev mount removable device on my Ubuntu 10.04 Gnome system? [15:47] !usb | surreal` [15:47] surreal`: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [15:47] Pici, filezilla? [15:47] surreal: a tool to do that is in the administration menu [15:48] surreal`: It will still be pretty slow [15:48] depends on the flash drive type [15:48] itś way faster compared to the live cd [15:48] ok slower [15:49] yeah im just using this for an htpc mainly, but i dont want it to be a live install.. for some reason i cant get boxee to compile with the live installs [15:50] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent surreal` === Amway\A is now known as Amway [15:51] bazhang: im reading [15:51] seems to still use the live distro's tho [15:54] I just bought a new scanner , but I cannot scan. It's Microtek International, Inc. Scanner 4800dpi ? [15:55] im curious, i am running ubuntu 10.04 amd64 bit version, programs like virtualbox report all 4 gigs of my ram, but ubuntu's "system monitor" only reports 3.2. I have had this problem in the past with 32 bit os's, but i expected it to go away after i installed a 64 bit os... [15:57] hi [15:58] i ve problem [15:58] hylian: maybe if using a laptop or some mobo with an integrated GPU, those use main memory as video memory [15:58] how can i use ekiga with voipdiscount ?

[16:00] how can i use ekiga with voipdiscount ?# [16:00] So here's one that just hit me... is anyone aware of any tools/apps I can use to monitor my Ubuntu server from my Android phone? Server up, uptime, bandwidth usage, etc... [16:00] hylian how much ram does you video card have ? [16:01] bareego it's not the video card. ubuntu reports 3.2, other programs in ubuntu report 4.0. if it where the video card it would be 3.2 in both cases [16:01] kk [16:01] hello all [16:01] need some help [16:01] :/ [16:02] !ask | stefanos [16:02] stefanos: 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. :-) [16:02] bareego thank for trying to help though, this is an ubuntu, or should i say a "system monitor" problem. maybe sm is a 32 bit app, and cant rewad my memory to the full extent? [16:02] how to install a theme on xubuntu? [16:02] stefanos, try in #xubuntu [16:02] hylian: i guess you've already seen this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1125470.html [16:02] hylian can only think it might not take cache into account or that video uses mem space [16:03] video card does not use mem space. [16:03] it shouldn't on 64 bit [16:03] on 32 bit it would [16:03] hylian: your BIOS could be reporting badly [16:03] also http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ [16:03] let me put it another way windows 7 on this machine reports 4.0 gigs. ubuntu 64 bit reports 3.2, through the system monitor. i know sm is wrong, just curious why. [16:04] stefanos you can get themes in http://xfce-look.org/ , normally you extract them and put them on ~/.themes ~/.icons [16:04] Hey guys; just installed 10.04 on my two work boxes; one works just fine, the other boots to terminal with no network, and reports (falsely) of disk errors sometimes. Drives have been checked and are fine. [16:05] randy, pclinuxos 2010 64 bit also reports 4.0 gig. not a mobo problem, but thanx [16:06] I guess it could be the old nvidia-apic bug becoming more severe [16:06] how is 64bit nowadays for desktop usage? [16:06] great. [16:06] Just fine with me [16:07] i remember big incompatibility issues [16:07] saymoo, very cool!!! [16:07] How long ago? [16:07] a few years back [16:07] lol [16:07] saymoo: I use it daily as my produtcion machine at work without a single issue [16:07] if you have a 64bit CPU you should be running 64bit 10.04 [16:07] so i reverted to 32 bit because of that [16:07] How to completely uninstall ubuntu with windows? [16:07] terry__: you know that's not possible [16:07] hello. I have accidentally deleted my top panel.. aplications, watch, etc .. can you tell me how to restore it ? [16:07] !64 | saymoo [16:07] saymoo: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [16:07] Why? [16:07] terry__, wubi install? [16:08] No I want to completely uninstall ubuntu? [16:08] and use windows [16:08] saymoo, my work boxen have been 64 bit linux for years, works great [16:08] abhijit: i know it´s supported, thanks, but the question was about desktop usage, as in daily operation (additional software, libs, that kind) [16:08] except for this new 10.04 install that I'm currently debugging... [16:08] terry_, If you installed it via wubi go through the add or remove programs menu in windows. [16:08] just boot from windows DVD and wipe the drive [16:09] seems to really dislike the concept of booting. [16:09] terry__: To do that is not too difficult. When you are installing windows just choose to delete all your partitions andthen create one ntfs one [16:09] saymoo, i use it in my laptop. working very well. [16:09] terry__: you know that's not possible, it's not an applicaiton to uninstall, you have to remove the partition, and put the windows mbr on [16:09] terry__: Make sure to backup everything first though [16:09] terry__: putting the windows mbr can be discussed in ##windows channel [16:09] or on google >_> [16:09] ikonia: it is possible if it was installed inside of Windows using WUBI [16:09] terry__: just install windows like normal pretty much. [16:09] kryptyk: he said he's not using wubi [16:10] ikonia: I see now - apologies [16:10] ok.. i´ll try it again soon, hope it works this time without haslles i had back then [16:10] I forgot my administration password. How can I recover it? [16:10] kryptyk: no need for apologies [16:10] if you're not using wubi it's pretty much just a standard format-and-install, windows users have to do that every 6-8 months anyway [16:10] When I reboot with windows boot cd its doing nothing!!!! [16:10] tim you can't [16:10] tim, you need to recover or just clear it ? [16:10] tim: you can boot into the recovery installation and use passwd [16:10] terry_, that sounds like a boot CD problem or a hardware problem [16:10] terry__: that's nothing to do with ubuntu, discuss that in ##windows please [16:10] tim: you can only change it, not find what the old one was [16:10] ok [16:11] theeskimo how do i do that? [16:11] tim: when you boot up grub shows up and there should be the option to boot normal ubuntu or one that says recovery [16:11] tim: you then can get to a root shell and from there the command passwd will allow you to change your password [16:12] tim: the reason you cannot recover that password, is because it´s encrypted. if it wasn´t it would be a severe security issue [16:12] thx [16:12] #ubuntu-br [16:12] tim: if that doesn't work there are other options so do ask. I hope that does work though [16:12] thx [16:12] tim: if you are using 10.04 and it is the only installed OS, you won't see the GRUB menu at boot [16:12] hylian: hmm... in my googling there are a lot of mentions of 'memory remapping' in the BIOS fixing their problem with 64bit Ubuntu. I'm not saying this is what your problem is, but it couldn't hurt to check maybe [16:12] tim: you need to hold down SHIFT while it is booting [16:12] In ubuntu server, what is necessary to do to make a process to autostart? [16:13] For example, apache [16:13] why is there a 404 on http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/maverick/alpha-1/ [16:13] Misterio: Might want to ask #ubuntu-server [16:13] Misterio: You can add it to init.d [16:13] sinurge: alpha-1 is dead, use alpha-2. [16:13] Misterio: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto [16:13] Misterio: yeah, you just add the apache symlink from /etc/init.d to the normal init it boots to [16:13] tim: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [16:14] randy_: Oh okay, I was asking in -server [16:14] randy_: Thanks [16:14] randy_ maybe you would know this, why does some of the apps i install (hwinfo) (virtualbox) report the proper amount of ram, but not the system monitor for ubuntu? [16:15] yup stupid me not checking the release schedule email, thanks jpds [16:15] hylian: what kind of difference? [16:16] hey I just removed pulseaudio [16:16] sweet [16:16] nice === sinistrad_ is now known as sinistrad [16:16] cens0red, why? [16:16] I am getting ata1.00 error status:{DRDY ERR} and error:{UNC} after an upgrade. What is the problem? I even tried to mount /dev/sda1 in busybox shell and it gives the same error. [16:17] DRDY ERR is drive ready error [16:17] does a 64 bit installation have the lib32 as well do i have to download it seperately [16:17] sorrell because it didn't seem to work very well, a lot of videos ended up with audio out of sync too, and I think it was an unnecessary drain my meagre system resources. [16:17] pulse isn´t to stable, and sometimes a pain in the black hole, to make it work with some applications [16:17] software shouldn't caus that [16:17] hylian: i suppose it would depend on where these apps were getting their information from [16:17] Docteh- well, some programs list all 4gb of my ram, along with some os's like pclinuxos 64 bit. i have 4 gigs. system monitor only lists 3.2 gb. this is not a bios problem or all os's would only list 3.2, thanx to an article given to me by someone else here... [16:18] cens0red, that's understandable. [16:18] it means I'm minus *ubuntu-desktop though [16:18] hylian: are you running a 32bit kernel, if so is it pae? [16:18] hi all .. how i can auto-connect on boot to a FTP server with autentication (Ubuntu 10.04)? [16:19] cens0red, you mean as in no GUI? [16:19] Andrea88: you mean, during the boot process, you need to initiate a ftp connection? [16:19] cens0red, or now you just have standard gnome? [16:20] In all ubuntu versions, the monitors.xml file is located at /home/username/.config am I correct? Then after this, if I delete that file, will it be created again? (I wouldn't want this) [16:20] saymoo: or after the boot .. it's the same .. [16:20] Docteh_: yes but why?everything was running fine until the upgrade [16:20] Docteh_: is it trying a wrong device? [16:20] sorrell I guess. I haven't noticed any difference yet. [16:20] Costeh- i am running a amd64 bit version of ubuntu 10.04 [16:20] cens0red, cool [16:21] well hardware has to die doing something, running updates, sitting on a shelf, etc [16:21] saymoo: i need to mount like gvfs can do .. [16:21] Docteh_: if the bootloader can boot the kernel from the drive then shouldn't it be able to mount? [16:21] Andrea88: you could edit the /etc/rc.local [16:21] Docteh_ my theory is that System Monitor is a 32 bit app, and can't read all 4 gigs, is that a possibility? [16:22] the bootloader is the first 512 bytes of the drive [16:22] hylian: it should just ask the kernel, are you running with a 32bit environment? [16:22] hylian: are you running a 32bit os ? [16:22] or the .bashrc [16:22] depending on when you want it to run [16:22] hylian: run free from command line if you want to be sure [16:22] Docteh_: should i try to mount the drive in some other machine and run fsck? [16:22] Docteh_ i am running a 64 bit environment, ubuntu 10.04 amd64 [16:22] saymoo: ok .. but the question is .. what command i should do? [16:23] In all ubuntu versions, the monitors.xml file is located at /home/username/.config am I correct? Then after this, if I delete that file, will it be created again? (I wouldn't want this) [16:23] hylian: so why are you limited to 3.2gb? [16:23] hylian: then your application is 64bit [16:23] well, to initiate a ftp connection, use the ftp command [16:23] :) [16:23] nascentmind: try and mount it yea [16:23] or, if you just want to download a file of a ftp server, you could also use wget [16:23] a better text mode ftp application is ncftp. "sudo apt-get install ncftp" [16:24] Docteh_ free reports: 3349148. (3.2) but hwinfo reported 4096 mg and so did virtualbox...?? [16:24] nascentmind: if its hardware like the computer its in thinks, a fsck wouldn't help [16:24] django [16:24] hylian: free asks the kernel, the other apps probe the hardware probably [16:24] saymoo: i need to mount the FTP server locally .. like gvfs can do .. [16:24] sipior, ok i used the ssh-add to add the key to the (aparently running key agent) but it is not using it. [16:24] hylian: yeah, there's something wonky in the kernel [16:24] hylian: check dmesg near the top, i gotta get going tho [16:24] ooh ok [16:24] my bad [16:24] :) [16:24] Docteh_ well then i guess my next question is am i able to fully use all 4 gigs? [16:25] how do i tell the key agent wich ip addresses to use it on? [16:25] don´t know in that case [16:25] never mounted ftp connections [16:25] :) [16:25] yes 111 [16:25] i am having trouble with load data [16:25] saymoo: ok .. thank you anyway [16:26] after i enter my table names I put a semicolin at the end and then press enter and nothing, it is waiting for more input [16:26] sorry i can´t help you further [16:26] wtf is going on? [16:26] Is it that the file monitors.xml is located at /home/username/.config in all versions of Ubuntu ? [16:26] Im confused im trying to install Moomex Ultimatum (GREAT THEME) to ubuntu 10.04 any help I managed to install some of it but i still cant seem to install the theme to the menu bars any help? [16:26] hyian, yes,!! i eat aabout a gig a day [16:26] Is it that the file monitors.xml is located at /home/username/.config in all versions of Ubuntu ? Can different people confirm this for me please ? [16:26] I read somewhere this can go away by rerolling your own kernel with 64 bit os, and 64 bit memory allocation software via the ubuntu roll your own kernel engine... [16:26] Buzza, do you have a link to that theme?

[17:31] blendmaster1024_: system scripts are tested with dash, not bash, so you never know what might break (although bash should be compatible) [17:31] kerebrus: is it removable media or fixed? [17:32] texastwister fixed [17:32] java: can I install by downloading directly fronm java.com or BETTER repository? [17:32] yeah just synaptic the shit out of that java thingy [17:32] guest well it works fine to me [17:33] guest: always had luck with this - http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-install-sun-java-runtime-environment-jre-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html [17:33] kerebrus: Oh. Then just change the ownership of the mount point -- I think that is all you'll need. No? [17:33] ok:) [17:33] Can anyone help me out with this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9657429#post9657429 [17:34] Gibby: Are you using Xinerama? === Amway\A is now known as Amway [17:35] its always a giood idea to at least summaruize the problem. Not just paste a URL to a forum post. [17:35] *@*:~/Рабочий стол$ java -version [17:35] Thanks! That's what I neeed to check the version [17:35] kryptyk: I don't think so, since I don't know what it is [17:35] I have an external drive I use for backups at present. Would it be possible (and/or sensible) to put a "Live CD" version on there and boot to that in cases where'd I'd normally use a live CD? [17:36] Dr_Willis, flickering with Nvidia when I enable Normal under appearance [17:36] morydd: thats possible. or you can use grub2 on it and boot an iso file. [17:36] Gibby: go to Menu> System > Administration > Nvidia X Server settings [17:37] Gibby: flickering where/when? [17:37] Gibby: When that opens up, select X Server Display Configuration in the left hand pane [17:37] Hey, what are other options for shrinking my Windows drive other than the inbuilt disk management? Because that seems not to work :/ [17:37] Underscore_: you mean the one built into windows? Normally it works. You may need to defrag the windows drives first [17:37] is it a program for mass e-mailing (not spam)? [17:38] Dr_Willis, when I enable Normal in Visual Effects [17:38] Gibby: In the X Server Display Configuration, is the box checked that says 'Enable Xinerama'? [17:38] $ /etc/init.d/vncserver ls -l -- result: bash: /etc/init.d/vncserver: Permission Denied- It fails when i try as sudo too [17:38] kryptyk, don't have that check box [17:38] Gibby: yes.. but what is flickering? Everything? video playback? just sitting at the desktop doing nothing flickers? how does it flicker? constantly? once every 10 min? [17:39] Dr_Willis, everything, the whole computer hiccups and I can't move the mouse or anything [17:39] Dr_Willis: I've tried, defragging takes a long time and only ever reduces it to a minimum of about 6% fragmentation [17:39] brummbaer dont like your pysdm lol === Underscore_ is now known as Underscore [17:39] Dr_Willis, about every 10 seconds [17:39] Gibby: thats sounds more like a lockup/hang, not a 'flicker' to me. [17:39] kerebrus: fine be that way :P [17:39] fwm posted already? [17:39] Underscore: if you select NONE - then it works fine? [17:40] Dr_Willis, it is a constant, flicker, then hangs every 10seconds [17:40] mt [17:40] evenin all [17:40] brummbaer i ran the software and now i cant unmount my drives says root only has permission to do that lol [17:40] Dr_Willis: Not sure how to select 'none', sorry [17:41] kerebrus: i believe you probably used the wrong settings then; i've had no such issues. [17:41] Underscore: right where you change the Compiz/effectsd settings.. it has desktop right click -> change wallpaper -> last tab [17:41] brummbaer lol I just opened the software didnt change anything [17:42] kerebrus: that doesn't make a lick of sense [17:42] Dr_Willis: Are you talking in Windows? Or Ubuntu? [17:42] brummbaer I know. [17:43] how do i edit the "open with..." contextual menu? it shows duplicated entries [17:44] Underscore: in Ubuntu goto System > Preferences > Appearance > the last tab lets you change compiz to None [17:44] Underscore: visual effects i believe [17:44] bastidrazor: But I'm trying to install Ubuntu, that's the issue [17:44] Underscore: Windows resizer feature works for me very well. however you really should defrag the drive in windows, bwefor useing the windows resize feature. [17:44] bastidrazor: I need a partition [17:44] Underscore: oh, install.. i was confusing you with someone have compiz issues. [17:44] hi some one please give me the link to ubuntu india support [17:45] * Dr_Willis thinks we are getting compiz and windows resizing confused. :) [17:45] heh [17:45] bastidrazor: No problem [17:45] !india [17:45] i switched my user, played a song and when i switched back there is no sound in my account anymore.

As that seems to be pointless, it never goes all the way to 0% and as soon as I use my computer for a day it goes up around 6% [17:47] IdleOne, i have question i cant able to connect my samsung set into ubuntu via USB codes [17:48] Perhaps i was unclear the first time. Here is what happened. I switched from user A to user B in gnome, played a sound from user B's account, did some browsing, logged him out, and when i login back as user A i can't hear any sound. tried multiple player, multiple places, volume is not mute and it has happened for the third time. [17:48] Error404NotFound, that is not uncommon using user switching, hope you find a fix. [17:49] ZykoticK9, so it has happened to a lot of people? [17:49] Hi all, I'm a computer scienze student and ubuntu user since tree year ago. I would like help in some ubuntu\linux project, but i have no idea how to, where. Can someone give me some more information? [17:49] Error404NotFound, i have certainly heard of that before yes. [17:49] hi can some one in here help me to set up relaince net connect in ubuntu 10.4 [17:50] Can I use Gparted rather than using the windows disk manager? [17:50] output of lsof | grep pcm http://pastebin.com/TEyHJmic [17:50] strange, if its common why hasn't been there a fix by now.. [17:51] anyone? i dont get y i would be receiving a permission error as root [17:51] Underscore: you shoudl be able to. but ive found the windows manager tool to be often 4x as fast as gparted.. but that was about a year+ ago i last 'tested' it. [17:52] SubCool: root doesn't automatically have permissions to everything [17:52] ratcheer, its a fresh install- vnc is the 3rd application im installing [17:52] Can I use Gparted rather than using the windows disk manager? Are there any cons to using GParted instead? [17:53] SubCool: Ok, sorry. I am late to the conversation. === Underscore_ is now known as Underscore [17:56] hey, is it possible to change the default setting for the cpu throttling in ubuntu? [17:56] Underscore: you shoudl be able to. but ive found the windows manager tool to be often 4x as fast as gparted.. but that was about a year+ ago i last 'tested' it. === au is now known as au_ === au_ is now known as au- === au- is now known as au [17:57] Dr_Willis: Alright, but the benefit for me is that gParted might actually be able to work, as it doesn't need the disk to be defragged to 0% [17:57] is HD5850 supported on Ubuntu? I'm thinking of buying it. How's the general experience of ATi on Linux? (currently I'm using 9600gt) [17:58] JonRob, you might want to add "CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor" to you panel, good luck. [17:58] deffnelly works bro [17:58] Underscore: actually the goparted docs DO suggest defragging beforhand.. [17:58] Underscore: is there some reason defraggng is such a hassle? === richard is now known as Guest54906 [17:58] Dr_Willis: Just that it never seems to take it to 0%. I've never been able to fully defrag my drive :/ [17:59] Zykotick9: i have it - it's just really annoying having to change the setting everytime i login! [17:59] Aranel, ATI support is poor compared to nvidia. good luck. [17:59] Underscore: it proberly dosent have to be at 0% - but the wiondows tool shouild be able to resize. [17:59] hello, how do i change my fqdn on ubuntu server? [17:59] Aranel: all i can say about ATI is.. dont do it. :) [18:00] Dr_Willis: At the moment it's at 12%, and not working :/ [18:00] Aranel: if you can use Nvidia - then do so.

[18:01] rob_p: hostname gives me example.net while hostname -fqdn gives me example.com [18:01] the right one is example.net [18:01] is there a command i can run to see if its connected? [18:01] i have some picture they have sizes and did not open what i do to fix? [18:01] 4 day trying to configure the browser sound, any help on this i greatly appreciated txs [18:01] picard1421: cheese should be installer.

[18:01] Aranel: its all about your budget then. [18:02] jon__: Did you logout and back in? Unless you start a new shell, logout/back in, etc., the shell variable will still be set to the old value. [18:02] I have an interactive script that I have a need to run from initram. If I boot using break=init it works fine. If I change the boot scripts to run my script, the script runs but doesn't accept input. What's going on? [18:02] picard1421: THe webcam software. I forget which menu it's under... Sound and video, I think.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [18:04] rob_p: im talking about hostname --fqdn, which gives me diff result from hostname [18:05] abhijit: thr? [18:05] !nvidia | cwhaleyjr [18:05] hey guys, I'm having trouble signing in to amsn because of an error that keeps occurring every time I try to sign in. An error box appears although with nothing in it. I've even restarted my computer but no good. Any ideas about why this is happening and how I can solve this? [18:05] cwhaleyjr: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [18:05] anyone?? [18:05] Dr_Willis: hmm maybe you're right, but personally I would prefer a better one, because I'm using it as a gaming console too :) [18:05] rob_p: "hostname --fqdn" gives me "example.com" while "hostname" gives me "example.net"... the correct value should be example.net [18:06] rob_p: under /etc/hosts i have xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx example.net [18:06] ok sorry this is the first problem i havent been able to find the awnser too myself after i installed the Nvidia driver for my display adaptor when ever i use cntr + a f key to go to a full screen console the text is unreadable. [18:06] Anyone have Ubuntu 10.10 alpha 2 ISO md5sum in handy? [18:07] jon__: Do, "sudo hostname example.net" to set it. Then make sure /etc/hostname has example.net for it to be persistant. [18:07] philinux, after that day kubuntu removing code now i geeting new errors [18:08] philinux, i was disconnected === abhijit is now known as Guest45006 [18:08] rob_p: i did that already [18:08] Aranel: http://hothardware.com/Reviews/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-465-Debut-EVGA-Zotac/?page=11 looks like a good review. === abhijit_ is now known as abhijit [18:08] rob_p: could it have anything to do with resolv.conf? [18:08] philinux, for pgadmin3: pgadmin3: relocation error: pgadmin3: symbol _ZN21wxMemoryFSHandlerBase19AddFileWithMimeTypeERK8wxStringPKvmS2_, version WXU_2.8 not defined in file libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 with link time reference [18:08] philinux, codelite: relocation error: /usr/lib/codelite/libpluginu.so: symbol _ZN13wxAuiNotebook7SetFontERK6wxFont, version WXU_2.8 not defined in file libwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8.so.0 with link time reference [18:08] jon__: resolv.conf is for name resolution of external hosts. [18:08] So can I shrink the windows partition from the Ubuntu LiveCD itself? [18:08] philinux, any idea? [18:09] Dr_Willis: I'm sorry If I'm flooding you with questions but last one: is GTX465 (and newer) are supported on Ubuntu? [18:09] Underscore_: that is how most people do it. [18:09] rob_p: ohh, then any idea why? [18:09] jon__: It should contain your nameserver(s) [18:09] Aranel: most nvidia cards are. [18:09] actually have a question this time How can I tell this brain dead update monitor to leave Grub alone and ignore google chrome ? [18:09] Dr_Willis: So they don't use Windows at all? [18:09] rob_p: no in fact it contains example.com in resolv.conf [18:09] Aranel: check the forums see if anyone has had issues with them [18:09] hi [18:09] I have problem with cron [18:09] a3dman: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/maverick/alpha-2/ [18:09] jon__: No. Not at the moment. Let me try a couple of things... [18:09] Underscore_: gparted and its parted cli version can resize ntfs. [18:09] !details | ooxoo [18:09] ooxoo: Please give us full details. 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 ..." [18:09] I put the following in crontab: * * * * * /usr/bin/php [18:09] How can I use xchat with NAT is turned on with a router? [18:10] or better yet a3dman: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/maverick/alpha-2/MD5SUMS [18:10] Dr_Willis: thank you for your help :) I'm gonna buy a NV card, I don't know which one to buy but I'll definitely find out :) [18:10] doesn't get executed... [18:10] thanks [18:10] abhijit: is this maverick or lucid [18:10] philinux, lucid [18:10] ooxoo: if you use gnome-shedule you can setup a cron using a gui [18:10] ooxoo: Shouldn't that be php -f script? [18:10] Dr_Willis: So is that possible by just inserting the CD I used to test out Ubuntu? Or do I need to burn a new LiveCD especially with the correct software on it? === Underscore_ is now known as Underscore [18:10] geirha, sorry but what is the -f for ? [18:10] hi folks i installed pg8.4 in 10.04 [18:10] but i cant run pg [18:10] i cant find data dir [18:10] ovnicraft: what's pg? [18:11] postgresql-8.4 RDBMS [18:11] ovnicraft, install pgadmin3 its gui interface [18:11] texastwister how do I go about editing mount point permisisons? [18:11] abhijit, fo what? [18:11] actually have a question this time How can I tell this brain dead update monitor to leave Grub alone and ignore google chrome ? [18:11] ooxoo: From php's man-page: -f file Parse and execute file [18:11] abhijit: not a clue. There is a bug report for maverick so no good for you [18:11] abhijit, do you nkopw my problem? to suggest me that? [18:11] kerebrus, for what filesystem? [18:11] ovnicraft: cool, please dont abbreviate like that unless its a defacto acronym like tcp or snmp etc [18:11] ovnicraft, so you can do all task in gui. [18:11] geirha, ok... thanks [18:11] anyone knows if its possible to rdesktop to a dual screen server? [18:11] ActionParsnip, i cant run the server [18:12] philinux, ohhh. so what should i dot now in order get those program running? [18:12] ZykoticK9 ext3 and ntfs [18:12] i cant find the data dir [18:12] ovnicraft: How did you install it? [18:12] abhijit: does the OS run ok even with these erros [18:12] ovnicraft: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL may help [18:12] (sorry, disconnected) Dr_Willis: So is that possible by just inserting the CD I used to test out Ubuntu? Or do I need to burn a new LiveCD especially with the correct software on it? [18:12] hey ppl [18:12] i just dualboot windows and linux [18:12] but after i updated grub windows dowsn't boot up [18:12] Underscore: what correct softweare? You can try a live cd if you want. but none of them come with the nvidia drivers. [18:12] try to run the script in init.d dont run [18:12] but restarts the machine instead [18:12] philinux, yes os runs fine. only problem with some application softwares such as pgadmin3 and codelite [18:12] jon__: What does your /etc/resolv.conf file look like? What you said doesn't sound right. [18:12] ovnicraft: Did you install it from the repositories? [18:12] pici apt-get install posgresql [18:12] Underscore: or install to a flash drive to let you fully install the restricted drivers and so forth to test it out [18:12] is a console screen driven by the same driver as your X screen? for instance if you use cntr alt f1 to get a full screen console? [18:12] kerebrus, for ext3 just change the permission on the mount point, for ntfs i can't help - consult the NTFS mounting documentation... good luck. [18:13] abhijit: I ssume you've tried purging and reinstalling them [18:13] rgnr: ease up on the enter key, champ [18:13] philinux, yah tried for pgadmin3. but no success. [18:13] rob_p: search example.com \n nameserver x.x.x.x [18:13] ZykoticK9 problem is I dont know how to change the permissions as my question earlier stated. [18:13] Dr_Willis: I'm trying to partition the drive, though o_O [18:13] ActionParsnip, that site is poor [18:13] cwhaleyjr: no it is not. the console is not being conrolled by X, it can be using the 'framebuffer' however. [18:13] ZykoticK9 changing the settings is what got me into this mess. [18:13] rgnr: try running: sudo update-grub see if it detects it in the output [18:13] actually have a question this time How can I tell this brain dead update manager to leave Grub alone and ignore google chrome ? [18:13] kerebrus, for the ext for ntfs? [18:13] Underscore: i use the various live cd's to reparittion windows all the time. gparted also has its own 'gparted live cd' and other variants [18:13] i want to know when the installation run the initdb in any script to create the postgres user and data core [18:13] abhijit: what about removing it's .config folder in home [18:14] philinux, after removing using purge do i need to logout and login to reinstall it? or i can just start install in next line? [18:14] what is the script what does that? [18:14] philinux, let me try [18:14] kerebrus, s/for ntfs/or ntfs [18:14] if here anyone know it off course [18:14] Hi, I'd like to transfer an existing Xubuntu 10.04 installation to a new computer (new HDD, new processor, etc.) Since it's a multi-user system how would you proceed? Creating the users and then just copying the home directories? [18:14] Dr_Willis: So i need that one, right? Not the generic Ubuntu desktop install liveCD? [18:14] to store data only, it is better ext2 or ext3? [18:14] ovnicraft: have you asked in #pgp [18:14] rob_p: to be more exact, the fqdn i want is s1.example.net when the one shown in the system is s1.example.com [18:14] text from grub looks normal but after linux loads everything is blurry except the Xscreen [18:14] FabParma: what sort of disk is the data going to be on? [18:14] FabParma: ext3 is newer and better to protect against corruption [18:15] Underscore: the ubuntu live cd.. can work fine. You may need to install gparted.. but the installer should also be able to resize [18:15] FabParma: ext2 is better for flash drives as it makes them last longer due to no journal [18:15] Underscore: in mot sure what your 'original' problems are that you are having so many issues... [18:15] rob_p: and when i nslookup s1.example.net, it returns me s1.example.net.example.com [18:15] ActionParsnip, yes they tell that ubuntu has init script [18:15] ZykoticK9 I used gparted to change the partition type and filesystem on one of my drives from ntfs to ext3 when I remounted the drive the user no longer had control of the device, I was told to edit my mount permissions, so I edited my fstabm, but now even though it says user has full rwx I cant do anything to the drives [18:15] jon__: Is example.com valid on your network? Comment out the search directive and leave your nameservers and see if it makes a difference. [18:15] to do it for me [18:15] but it doesnt [18:15] ovnicraft: ok, have you tried a reboot since the install? [18:15] philinux, after removing using purge do i need to logout and login to reinstall it? or i can just start install in next line? [18:15] rob_p: no, example.com points to another domain not owned by me [18:15] Dr_Willis: Ok, I'll just give it a shot. Basically windows isn't letting me shrink the drive, and I can't defrag it down to 0%. So I needed another way to shrink/partition. [18:15] rob_p: example.net is the domain owned by me [18:16] kerebrus: when you use ext2/3/4 You need to set the permissions/ownership of the dirs and files On teh filesystem. Not alter the fstab [18:16] ActionParsnip, in unix world you dont reboor to get a service up just run the daemon and works [18:16] abhijit: never used that app before so dont know [18:16] Underscore: ask in ##windows for extra defrag tools [18:16] i think ubuntu works like that [18:16] rob_p: if it helps, i actually just installed direactadmin on a fresh install of ubuntu 10.02 [18:16] philinux, no. i am asking about sudo apt-get remove --purge thing [18:16] hey, I am looking for some application that lets me check my email on the command line [18:16] ovnicraft: its free to try, might make it nice. I'm fully aware of the no reboot NIX mantra [18:16] any suggestions? [18:16] jon__: So you run your own nameserver for example.net and that is the box providing authoritative answers for example.net? [18:16] kerebrus, could you pastebin your /etc/fstab and the output of "mount"? [18:16] ActionParsnip: I did try there first, no one answered my question :/ But I'm going to try GParted from the boot CD anyway. [18:17] rob_p: emm meaning? [18:17] Underscore, sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs as well as gpartd [18:17] abhijit: no just reinstall . sudo apt-get purge XXX is all you need the reinstall [18:17] ActionParsnip, are you telling me that daemon is not working? [18:17] jon__: Also, why do you have search example.com in your resolv.conf? [18:17] need reboot? [18:17] Could someone assist me make this Very simple instructions work? http://www.davelachapelle.ca/guides/ubuntu-tightvnc-server/ - i cant do : -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root or [18:17] rob_p: i have no idea why [18:17] philinux, okk [18:17] jon__: Get rid of it! :-) [18:17] Hi all. [18:17] oh okay [18:17] ovnicraft: i'm just saying a reboot may fix it, you can check running daemons etc and you can restart them too [18:18] I installed sendemail, but wanted something that I can read/send emails through cli [18:18] okay this is strange but my username was removed from sudoers [18:18] how can I get it back in? [18:18] ovnicraft: you can ask in the other channel what file the app is looking for [18:18] ActionParsnip, i am feel like windows user in ubuntu with gnome faces [18:18] atxq: mutt [18:18] rob_p: thanks, you're a lifesaver (: [18:18] thanks, will check [18:18] How can I tell this brain dead update manager to leave Grub alone and ignore google chrome ? [18:18] rob_p: hostname --fqdn now gives me example.net [18:18] ovnicraft: its free to try, if a reboot is convenient then go for it === ahmed_ is now known as hisham [18:18] ActionParsnip, i want to know what is the script in deb file what configure the posgtgesql for me [18:18] ZykoticK9 http://pastebin.com/ux5z0KqS [18:18] sha1sum, in a terminal type "groups" are you in the admin group? that is what determines sudo access. [18:18] jon__: Great! === hisham is now known as hisham| [18:18] ovnicraft, this odd feeling will pass my son ... [18:19] philinux, i done purge to codelite but no success. still same error. :( [18:19] What's up geeks ? [18:19] I've installed matlab on my Ubuntu 9.04. I can invoke it from a terminal as "$HOME/matlab/bin/matlab". However, if I create a Launcher that invokes the same command, matlab briefly shows a splash screen and then terminates. Huh ? [18:19] anyone knows if its possible to rdesktop to a dual screen remote desktop server? [18:19] kop__: well if you get a kernel upgrade it wont be added to the boot list so you will always boot the same kernel [18:19] i'm using tsclient [18:19] ZykoticK9: no. I know how to add myself to that group but the problem is I will need sudo access to do it right? [18:19] abhijit: Are thes apps from the regular ubuntu repo or ppa [18:19] I mean, I suppose I could su in but I don't know the root pass [18:19] kop_, windows sucks maybe ubuntu less bit [18:19] philinux, regular repo [18:19] rob_p: im quite new to these stuff. just got my first dedicated server... whats the best practice for the fqdn.. say the fqdn is s1.example.net [18:19] Hilikus: yes, what OS is the server? [18:20] ActionParsnip, I just can't use grub2 here , yet [18:20] ActionParsnip: windows [18:20] im looking for hte kde4-dev package [18:20] hi. how to reply on xchat with 1 click (how to get "someone:" on command line)? [18:20] what is the right name for the kde4-dev package??? [18:20] abhijit: did it start after a kernel upgrade? [18:20] ZykoticK9: I think I might have messed this up trying to add myself to another group and didn't append to groups but replaced [18:20] kop__: grub legacy is still available in repos [18:20] rob_p: do i need to make sure s1.example.net resolve? [18:20] for apt-get [18:20] spitzi: use matlab -desktop [18:20] Hilikus: then I'd ask in ##windows to see if the protocol supports the dual screen etc [18:20] ActionParsnip: it does. i already know that [18:20] philinux, no after that day kubutu removing stuff you gave me that web site link. remember? i was useful but it creates some side effects [18:21] i just need to make the client request the dual screen mode [18:21] Hilikus: then connect and it should be fine [18:21] kerebrus, ok, so what is the permission you want to give? you could add user to fstab to give all users access to mount/umount the drive. and or you may need to alter the permission on the mount point /media/sdc1. [18:21] jon__: That's a valid fqdn so I don't know what you mean. Yes, of course you want to make it resolve if it's valid. [18:21] I have an interactive script that I have a need to run from within the initramfs. If I boot using break=init and run the script, it works fine. If I change the boot scripts to run my script, the script runs but doesn't accept input. What's going on? [18:21] rob_p: resolve as in, when i enter http://s1.example.net, it should point to the server's IP? [18:21] ZykoticK9 well I would like full permission over the drives, including mount/unmount writing to the drive, etc... [18:22] jon__: In your zone file for your domain, simply create an, "A" record for s1.example.net and you're golden. [18:22] What's up geeks ? [18:22] Hilikus: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/rdesktop-w-dual-monitors-657775/ [18:22] jon__: Yes, exactly. [18:22] Is there a way to find the root password if you've been removed from sudoers accidentally? [18:22] Hilikus: looks like you have to specify the geometry of the desktop you are connecting to [18:22] sha1sum: Ubuntu doesn't have a root password. [18:22] if X uses a X server what does the console use?> [18:22] ActionParsnip, I know legacy grub is still in repos I just get tired of repeatedly having to tell this gui to ignore the upgrade to grub2 which then requires a near reinstall on the base OS (don't ask _ my dumb mistake) [18:22] sha1sum, if you need too, boot to Recovery Mode (hold down shift while computer starts to get grub if you are using grub2). but you need to be in the admin group in order to use sudo. [18:22] abhijit: not sure what to suggest other than install kubuntu-desktop. I dont think those apps have any kde dependencies. [18:23] how can I create .zip files in Ubuntu (from command line)? [18:23] philinux, ohhh. we just did lots of things that day to remove kubuntu. now i dont want to install it again. :( [18:23] ZykoticK9: gotcha thanks. [18:23] quigybo - thanks, that did the trick. Is "-desktop" a common CLI option or a matlab quirk ? [18:23] ActionParsnip: i ran it after rebooted to linux again [18:23] rob_p: hmm using http://www.simpledns.com/lookup-dg.aspx, i've traced s1.example.net and it ended up at "Answer: A-record for s1.example.net = [ip of server]" [18:23] abhijit: is your home on it's own partition [18:23] spitzi: matlab quirk :P [18:23] rob_p: and "Authority: NS-record for s1.example.net = dns1.example.net" [18:24] philinux, no all in one / partition [18:24] rob_p: but when i type the address into the url it doesnt resolve [18:24] hello i have a 5.2 home theatre connected through spdif to pc, when i listen to mp3 files quality it's a bit bad but when i play movies the sounds it's better, if i connect pc to home theatre through analog ports will i get better sound quality? === Underscore_ is now known as Underscore [18:24] ActionParsnip, I know legacy grub is still in repos I just get tired of repeatedly having to tell this gui to ignore google chrome as well If I ever find the moron that added that ppa all his base will belong to me [18:24] spitzi: 'matlab' it is actually a bash launcher script [18:24] jon__: If the IP is correct for your host, then you are good to go. [18:24] kop__: http://pastie.org/1067378 try that [18:24] jon__: What do you mean it doesn't resolve? There's nothing to resolve if you put in the IP! [18:25] rob_p: as in, if i type s1.example.net in the browser, the default apache page doesnt come up [18:25] c'mon have noone encountered such problem? [18:25] asdfasdfasdfasdf: 5.2 ? nice [18:25] ZykoticK9: can you give me to correct command to ADD myself to the "admin" group instead of replacing all groups? I don't want to make the same mistake twice [18:25] abhijit: I wwould have suggested a reinstall with home on it's own partition But I'm at a loss [18:25] jon__: So if you put in the IP, does it come up then? [18:25] rob_p: oh could it be due to dns cache on my side? [18:25] spitzi: http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/matlabunix.shtml [18:25] I was using: "usermod -G group user" [18:26] if X uses a X server what does the console use?> [18:26] rob_p: "Oops! Google Chrome could not find s1.example.net" [18:26] philinux, you mean reinstall ubuntu? :-o [18:26] ActionParsnip, not nice if you can't hear music properly =( [18:26] jon__: Dont use your browser for DNS testing. Use, 'dig' [18:26] sha1sum: adduser sha1sum admin [18:26] Hi - I need a help to format my pendrive === lance_ is now known as Guest81707 [18:26] kerebrus, i'd be tempted to change the line in fstab to "/dev/sdc1 /media/sdc1 ext2 rw,user 0 0" but i'm not 100% on that one (can anyone conform? changed default to rw,user) [18:26] bastidrazor: so adduser does that rather than usermod? [18:26] jon__: ...as in, "dig example.net", etc. [18:26] abhijit: not sure what you did before I gave you the psychocats link. That should just remove kde stuff [18:27] rob_p: im on windows, so i guess nslookup? i got "DD-WRT can't find s1.example.net: Non-existent domain" [18:27] sha1sum: adduser will add a group to your user yes. [18:27] philinux, :D [18:27] rgnr: I dont dual boot, so no Ive never had the issue. You can try this: http://pastie.org/1067378 [18:27] jon__: Yeah... [18:27] bastidrazor: confusing. thanks. good to know. [18:27] philinux, i only paste that link as it is!!! :) [18:27] rob_p: but on http://www.kloth.net/services/nslookup.php, i get a non-auth answer which is the ip addr of my server [18:27] abhijit: I've used it myself before no problem [18:27] sha1sum, "sudo adduser admin" [18:27] jon__: add 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server on the system [18:27] philinux, I see [18:27] can anyone help me please? [18:27] ActionParsnip, been done did that been there burned the t-shirt (and almost wearing out the super grub boot disk). I just think a cleaner fix would be to tell apt and the update mangler to bugger off where grub and google are concerned [18:28] ActionParsnip: why? [18:28] jon__: What is your domain name if I might ask? I could try if from a variety of nameservers. [18:28] Hi everyone, I've a little question, is it dangerous to put ip_forward at "1" always ? Even if I don't really need it ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:28] abhijit: post a thread in general help. Problems with pgadmin3 and codelite after removing kubuntu-desktop. In the thread post the errors [18:29] jon__: It's a public nameserver run by Google, I think.

[18:29] philinux, you mena on ubuntu forums? [18:29] rob_p: it is :) [18:29] abhijit: yep [18:29] rob_p: any way i can PM the real domain to you? [18:29] philinux, okk [18:29] jon__: sure. [18:29] guampa, i did up there here it is again: "hello i have a 5.2 home theatre connected through spdif to pc, when i listen to mp3 files quality it's a bit bad but when i play movies the sounds it's better, if i connect pc to home theatre through analog ports will i get better sound quality?" [18:29] J11: the user on the machine running the vncserver doesn't matter, you just need to know the display they're using [18:29] abhijit: Explain what you did [18:29] J11: once you VNC over, vnc to the other system.

[18:31] guampa, ah, dunno mp3's are 320 kbps [18:31] but since ur free- do you know how to solve my issue? [18:31] SubCool, yes [18:31] guampa, also they sound better on headphones, [18:31] SubCool: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root can be acieved with: sudo chown root:root file; sudo chmod 755 file [18:31] ZykoticK9 well that fixed the problem with being able to mount and unmount on ext3 but it pissed of my ntfs drives but still not able to write to the ext3 [18:31] SubCool, i am niether free and I dunno solution because i dunno your problem. [18:31] SubCool: read: man chown and man chmod [18:31] 320 kbps MP3 VBR is indistinguishable from CD quality [18:31] How can I change root password of Ubuntu if I forgot it.. [18:32] I am not able to login to system [18:32] kerebrus, change the permission of the mount point. [18:32] !noroot | rubydiamond [18:32] rubydiamond: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [18:32] asdfasdfasdfasdf: do they sound lo-fi, low volume..? [18:32] !root [18:32] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [18:32] ActionParsnip, well my problem is i want to verify its permission, but when i do a ls -l it says permission denied.. [18:32] is it true that on ubuntu [18:32] I can't do [18:32] su - === emc_ is now known as emc [18:32] Hello.. can anyone help me to format my pendrive [18:33] rubydiamond: use: sudo -i instead [18:33] to go login as root === Sup|Lobby is now known as PokerTHLobby1 [18:33] ZykoticK9 sorry how?

I can't su - on my desktop.. for entered password it says permission denied.. [18:34] SubCool: try: sudo -l file [18:34] kerebrus, to give EVERYONE read/wright access "sudo chmod ugo+rwx /media/sdc1" [18:34] ActionParsnip: ? [18:34] I can see the pendrive in gparted but format option is not coming up [18:34] rubydiamond: use: sudo -i you will get the same effect. [18:34] rubydiamond: you cannot use 'su' because the root password is locked. On ubuntu, use sudo -i [18:34] Guest81707: unmount the partition then [18:34] rubydiamond: Please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information [18:34] I tried as well [18:34] ZykoticK9 would sudo chmod 777 /media/sdc1 do the same? [18:35] by typing this command umount /dev/sdb [18:35] Guest81707: ok then run: sudo fdisk -l ; mount if the partition is mounted run: sudo umount /dev/partitionnamehere [18:35] kerebrus, you might also have permission issues on the file system already. [18:35] kerebrus, 777=rwx yes [18:35] asdfasdfasdfasdf: if it happens with every mp3 maybe it's the 5.1 channels [18:35] Guest81707: you cant mount /dev/sdb you CAN mount /dev/sdb1 [18:36] Guest81707: sdb is the disk, sdb1 is the first partition. You dont format drives. you format partitions [18:36] kerebrus, i did not suggest you apply that recursively however! it will mess up all your actual files (it should ONLY be applied to directories/folders) [18:36] Pici: but on my Ubuntu slice/server I am able to do su - [18:36] do i need to create the partition [18:36] but behavior is different on my desktop [18:36] guampa, yes all mp3's but when i play music i make home theatre go in 2 channels mode. [18:36] rubydiamond: That is not the default or supported configuration. [18:36] ActionParsnip, ty- ill give it a try [18:37] Pici: I haven't changed any config [18:37] rubydiamond: If you're using a VPS then your provider might have setup the default image differently. [18:37] guampa, and either i do that or not still bad sound quality :( [18:37] Guest81707: so: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 should unmount it. If there is not already a partition you will need to create one. Most usb stick things have one to accommodate ignorant windows users [18:37] I just get a gray screen with an X-shaped mousepointer when connecting to the vncserver. When doing sudo xwd i use -display :0.0 to get a screenshot, I just run vncserver :0 as sudoing it gives an error. [18:37] Pici: hmm [18:37] yeah [18:37] might be [18:37] In apt-get, what is cyrus-sasl-plain called? [18:37] guampa, i've heard spdif compresses sound that's why i wanted to know if connecting it using analog ports i could get better quality. [18:37] Pici: what if I forgot my password and not able to login to system [18:38] we have our ubuntu workstations set up to login via kerberos, I can login at the console fine, but graphical login freezes indefinitely. none of the work arounds on the forums seem to be working. does anyone have ideas? [18:38] is there any way so that I can turn on root and change it's password [18:38] there is no sdb1 [18:38] J11, i doubt sudoing vnc is a good idea [18:38] rubydiamond: Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword [18:38] rubydiamond: sudo passwd root [18:38] there is Disk /dev/sdb [18:38] au: don't tell users that please, having a root password is not advised or supported [18:38] au: but what if I forgot my password.. currently looking at link given by Pici [18:39] I'll try this again in english .How can I tell this brain dead update manager to leave Grub alone and ignore google chrome ? [18:39] Guest81707: you can write a new partition table to the device and then format it as you wish [18:39] rubydiamond, au Ubuntu doesn't need root, when i see people doing this i know they are doing something wrong ;) [18:39] Guest81707: make sure you are using sdb or it may damage your data [18:40] Having a root user is nice, but I understand why Ubuntu uses sudo instead. [18:40] hi! can i read the serial number of my HD using dbus-send? [18:40] Rudemeister: hmm right.. [18:40] rubydiamond: if you'd ust left root alone like how ubuntu is supposed to be used, you'd have no issues [18:40] Is there a way to set up a folder under ubuntu that when im on my windows drive I can access files in that folder? [18:40] ZykoticK9: right [18:40] ZykoticK9: I actually forgot my password [18:40] what difference does it make [18:40] not want to login to system..

[18:50] Starky: the whole system [18:50] coz_: it is normal [18:50] abhijit: ok [18:50] wbc: bad sectors mean the drive is dying and they cannot be fixed [18:50] ActionParsnip: How?

[18:50] abhijit: I have home on it's own partition so it very quick [18:50] philinux, i see [18:50] coz_ I just wanna understand the technologies [18:50] karlo, ok then it is liekly compiz is running and windows key + e is default for the expo plugin however install sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [18:50] ActionParsnip: I'm on 9.10, is that not the latest version?

[18:53] wbc: how much hammer does it take? Is it just a desktop PC drive or someting like an SQL storage? [18:53] abhijit: you only need to check the commands you issued before it all went borked [18:54] guest ok cool [18:54] Starky: but did you get a lot of updates? [18:54] philinux, ok [18:54] coz_ but from nautilus it wants to configure the key "-vo" (what -vo to choose?) [18:54] ActionParsnip: "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded."

[19:00] philinux, i checked. and i done exactly whta give on that web site. [19:00] i just changed it 777 and I still can't rename it [19:00] graffy: that doesnt make sense [19:00] abhijit: Yes, but what did you do before that [19:00] graffy: if you can chmod it, you should be able to rename it [19:01] graffy: use: sudo mv to rename it then 777 is a really bad idea [19:01] I know I can sudo mv it [19:01] graffy: i think you need write permission *on the directory* the file is in to rename it [19:01] but i have been experiencing this problem a lot recently [19:01] froschi: that sounds right [19:01] im looking at ls -la and its 777 i cant rename [19:01] philinux, hey but we are missing one thing.

[19:46] nirvaana69: System > Administration > User and Groups [19:47] i need to add a domain name to my host tio be able to enable an apache https server [19:47] but the guide talks about a menu that it's not there [19:47] how can i setup that domain name? [19:48] hello [19:48] Any one got Dell studio please ? [19:49] i've connected my laptop to an external screen and whenever i shut the laptop one it stays powered :( [19:49] Pici, this is what im doing: http://www.davelachapelle.ca/guides/ubuntu-tightvnc-server/ [19:52] when i started the pc for the first time it asked me and i enterted single user by mistake how do i enable it to multiple user? [19:52] no people use ubuntu as server? [19:52] cablop: i have one ubuntu server [19:52] cablop, lots of people do -- what's your question? [19:52] io barely believe i ask how to asign a domain name to my server and nobody knows [19:53] there is no user and groups there is only user in the admin [19:53] i have an ubuntu server [19:53] cablop: this isnt exactly a server channel ;-) thatd be #ubuntu-server [19:53] cablop: i've used by my boss made me replace all of them with centos [19:53] :( [19:53] it's print server, actually [19:53] cablop: so most people here are desktop people [19:53] lol [19:53] ah, ok, thanks [19:53] at least an answer, not the answer but a good enough one :) [19:53] Pici, thank you very much [19:53] How do I set vim as my default editor in the terminal? [19:54] i need a little help to setup:) [19:54] sorry [19:54] :) [19:54] Zolomon: set the EDITOR variable in your .bashrc [19:54] like, if I type "visudo" I want VIM to be used and not nano? [19:54] ah, thanks maco! [19:54] what help do you need? [19:54] hey guys, i'm still looking for how to install the ubuntu server in a hp server with sata driver.. the hd is not being reconized... somebody help me! [19:55] cablop: sorry for my server i did that by going to my settings thing for my domain registrar and telling it my server's IP address. thats the only way ive ever done DNS... [19:55] maco: How can I do that..? ^^ EDITOR="/whatPath/vim"? [19:55] Zolomon: /usr/bin/vim [19:55] Zolomon: put "export" before it [19:55] when i started the pc for the first time it asked me and i enterted single user by mistake how do i enable it to multiple user?there is no user and groups there is only user in the admin [19:55] maco: thanks! And then source .bashrc ? [19:55] Zolomon: export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim [19:55] nirvaana69: What did it ask you? [19:55] Zolomon: yep [19:55] maco: Many thanks. :) [19:55] i see maco... :( [19:55] welll [19:56] it asked me if iwanted a single user interface or where there will be multiple users of my pc? [19:56] Zolomon, you might want to also set VISUAL=/usr/bin/vim, i dunno what it's used for but it's in most people's configs. [19:57] nirvaana69: Er, and what do you see now? [19:57] i dont have it set [19:57] cablop: if the trouble is that you have >1 domain name being hosted on one server, you'll still need to configure dns, but then you need to play with vhosts in /etc/apache2/ ... probably apache2.conf (if i had to guess which file in that dir) [19:58] maco: Actually the default setup makes it easy to use vhosts by modifying files in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ [19:58] cablop: are you assigning the domain or just a hostname? [19:58] i want that the pc should have two users one me and one for the rest of my family now it is just me and accepts only my passwordand as i start my pc it automatically logs me in [19:59] Pici: ok. *shrug* ive never had to do this yet (which umm.. i should probably get around to eventually..since..ya know...syadmin) [19:59] nirvaana69: find the users thingy in the gui and uncheck "automatically log in" [19:59] gut? [19:59] gui? [19:59] !gui [19:59] The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively) [20:00] how do i enable mutiple user ? [20:00] nirvaana69: System > Administration > Login Screen to disable auto login, System > Administration > Users and Groups to add / remove / modify users. [20:01] thanks! [20:01] nirvaana69, Strictly speaking, the system is multi-user because more than one user can log in at once. The easiest way to see this is with ssh. [20:01] hmm.. I never set the password for root, how do I set it? [20:01] sudo passwd [20:01] Zolomon: You don't and shouldn't. Use sudo. [20:02] nirvaana69, Additionally, you can be logged into the system more than one time. Open the terminal eight times and type who into one of them. [20:02] !noroot [20:02] We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [20:02] when i try to install ATI driver i've got Sorry jockey system error installArchive() failed :"( [20:02] !wfm [20:02] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [20:02] Any one know the issue ? [20:02] !root [20:02] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:03] nirvaana69: Just for future reference "Single User Mode" is something very specific which you are *not* using. I just say this so that people don't misunderstand you in the future. [20:03] this anti root stuff must be an apple thing [20:04] Pici: I try to use sudo for "iptables-save > /etc/iptables.up.rules" but I receive a Permission denied message. [20:04] Zolomon, if you wanna play around as root, just "sudo su" [20:04] Zolomon: tee [20:04] Zolomon: iptables-save | sudo tee /etc/iptables.up.rules [20:05] Docteh_: yes i need to assign the domain name, cause i need to be able to certify it, but mmmm i'm thinking that i can use another option, isn't it? just to create the certificates and so on [20:05] maco, the vhosts thing in the apache conf? [20:05] mmmm [20:05] dancek: And for the record, you should use sudo -i, not sudo su. [20:05] certify for like ssl? === roma_ is now known as Besogon [20:05] cablop: ive never done it before. Pici knows whats up for doing that === Besogon is now known as Shvonder [20:06] cablop: What kind of certificate are you looking for? [20:07] Pici, is that like "sudo su -"? i wouldn't say i always want that [20:07] dancek: sudo -s = su [20:07] Does dash read ~/.profile before starting? [20:07] dancek: sudo -i = su - [20:07] maco: thanks for the explanation. [20:07] but why should i use them? [20:08] ok [20:08] dancek: Thanks! [20:08] it's easier to remember "sudo su" than "sudo -s", the same with "sudo -e" vs "sudo vi" [20:08] dancek: fewer layers of indirection.. sudo su means executing a shell as root that switches to root [20:08] dancek: sudo su is ridiculous [20:08] Pici: i just need to create an https apache server [20:08] maco: Trying to understand tee, what can you use it for? [20:08] just that [20:08] Docteh_: Thanks! [20:09] ok so i have a external hdd split into 2 primary partitions lets call them E and F. on E i have standard none bootable data on F i have extracted the ubuntu iso. will it boot F automatically or do i have to flag that as the boot partition some how? [20:09] Zolomon: only thing ive used it for is taking output from one command and sudo tee'ing it to a root-owned file [20:09] Zolomon: echo "something that needs to be appended to a file owned by root" | sudo tee -a /some/root/owned/file [20:10] Zolomon: the "-a" option to tee is also handy to know about (append, so it acts like >> instead of >) [20:10] hmm, i think i have the memory and processing power for "sudo su"... i find learning new command-line switches more costly than an extra process or so [20:10] i'm in windows so not using gparted im using easeus partition master [20:10] can i assign more than one owner to a folder/file? [20:10] !unetbootin | nikle [20:10] nikle: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [20:10] Zolomon: It can also be nice if you want to log the output of a command, but you still also want to see that output in stdout/err [20:10] nikle: iirc, that should work fine with a hdd too [20:11] yh but i have multiple partitions [20:11] nikle: mark one active [20:11] azlon: read up on permissions here :: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [20:11] unetbootin should edit the boot manager shouldnt it? [20:11] nikle, you cant only extract the iso to the partition. never tried usb-hdd but unetbootin should work with that too, try it [20:12] Jordan_U: Ahh.. Thanks! And to you others as well. [20:12] Zolomon: You're welcome. [20:12] What's the difference between '>' and '<'? [20:12] input or output [20:12] one is to and the other is from [20:12] google it one is less than the other is greater than [20:12] cat < /proc/cpuinfo [20:13] mathematically speaking [20:13] Empathy isnt connecting to msn again :( [20:13] neither is pidgin [20:13] Scotsman, mine works, use 443 [20:14] just chaneg port? [20:14] prolly a bug in libpurple [20:14] can the inactive partition still be mounted? [20:14] Scotsman, yes, try it [20:14] thanks [20:14] bastidrazor: ok, so it looks like i just need to add my current user to another group, how can i add my current user to another group?

I've got an Nvidia Geforce 6200 video card. [20:18] hopefully [20:18] kk ill try to install alsamixer [20:19] @nerdyman you should probably test wheter they 're actually started [20:19] Nerdyman: is this before or after Xorg crashing? [20:19] sunny_, it is installed, use it === neutrino is now known as tar- [20:19] @radar3d did you upgrade to 10.04 ? [20:19] sunny_, look for aplay, lspci,lsmod too [20:19] sorry for that but where to find alsamixer?

When u arrive at that screen, just press any key, space bar will do. [20:24] like it is a permissions issue as listed on one google search but I did it and am locking up still/again [20:24] You will get the language option, select English and press enter, you will be taken to a screen with options for installation. [20:24] I did not insert cd I installed via wubi [20:24] Make sure the option "Try Ubuntu without any changes" is selected (don't hit enter yet) [20:24] Now press F6 on ur keyboard. [20:24] how can I check the specifications of my system? Like CPU speed, how much ram it has etc. from the terminal? [20:24] You will see a small pop up on the right hand side of the screen, just hit escape to make it go away. And you can see a long command line which is already there. [20:24] Just start typing [20:24] i915.modeset=0 xforcevesa and press enter.

[20:57] whyme: the problem is more likley to be the bootable usb device has not been created correctly, so instead of looking at the usb, it's looking for a cdrom [20:57] DarqWolff: flash works, however it's closed source so can be glitchy depending on your hardware and the site/application you're using [20:57] <_jesse_> DarqWolff: I had it working fine [20:57] <_jesse_> DarqWolff: 32 or 64 bit?

[21:26] If "find /boot/grub/stage1" doesn't exist, and "find /grub/stage1" return hd(0,4), why do I get error 15 if the menu.lst is on the fourth partition (the same partition that the GRUB is set up to.. I think)? I mean it should not link wrong from the menu list [21:26] dp_: it probably takes more options. See my previous suggestion [21:26] Crazy: yes i'll be around [21:27] Grozzy: it is wrong in the menu [21:27] I tried using the installer too, but all I could see was what looked like deleting the windows partition [21:27] ikonia, Should I post the menu? [21:27] ilovefairuz: it might take awhile we have to wire it through the vents lol [21:27] Grozzy: no thanks [21:27] I was worried thatit wouldn't be shrinking it, and instead erasing it [21:27] Crazy: it will likely work [21:27] Rhythmosa: not in manual mode [21:27] oh, ok [21:27] oCean_, use both zip and tar ?? [21:27] I actually have to go [21:28] dp_: I've given you the format [21:28] is gnome generally buggy in 10.04? [21:28] thank you fir the help [21:28] dp_: gzip and tar. It'll leave you with a compressed archive [21:28] hi [21:28] I'll probably be back [21:28] ShapeShifter499: no [21:28] anyone here fairly clueful about GRUB/GRUB2? i want to discuss installing GRUB2 on its own boot partition (on a spontaneously-created channel, to avoid noise)... /msg me if you qualify :-) [21:28] ShapeShifter499: sorry, not you [21:28] D: [21:28] !hi | janos [21:28] janos: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [21:28] stevecam: no [21:28] i can't see my hd on resource [21:28] bernz: just ask the question, is this ubuntu ? [21:28] ikonia: xDD [21:28] bernz: pastebin sudo fdisk -l [21:28] ikonia: irc fail [21:28] is there a way i could reinstall everything gnome related from console [21:28] ikonia, it is, but the question is fairly wordy [21:29] or some settings i could reset [21:29] some people can helpme? [21:29] bernz: you don't install grub to a parition, you install it to the mbr, the config and boot files live in /boot [21:29] !details | janos [21:29] janos: Please give us full details. 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 ..." [21:29] janos: maybe if you ask a question [21:29] ikonia: what abour this---> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=563838 [21:29] *about === jofo__ is now known as jofo [21:30] ShapeShifter499: what about it ? [21:30] my desktop will randomly crash and now i am just getting weird behaviour when i click on things [21:30] ikonia i have a problem with sdc1 i can't see the hard disk on resource (this is my blkid http://paste.ubuntu.com/471236/) [21:31] janos: what is "on resource" ? [21:31] i just loaded a new machine as a replacement for an older one. Is there any way to see what packages I installed on the older machine so I can update the new one? [21:31] ikonia: 32 bit ubuntu apps can run in 64 bit ubuntu [21:31] ShapeShifter499, the most recent post in that ubuntu forum thread is Jan 2008, kinda old don't ya think? [21:31] ikonia, ...but here goes: i have a small ext2 partition for bootloader(s); i want to put as much of GRUB2 on it (including /boot and /etc/default/...), but i want those directories to "merge" with the Ubuntu installation that will be placed further up the disk on a logical partition... i want Ubuntu to "not know" that "/boot" and parts of "/etc" are on a separate partition, so i can obliterate that partition if desired, but still have a working GRUB2 [21:31] KaiForce: yes [21:31] ShapeShifter499, many 32bit apps will run on 64bit OS yes, but not all. [21:31] ZykoticK9: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit newer :D [21:31] on gnome risorse in italian [21:32] resorse [21:32] ShapeShifter499, what are you having problems with? [21:32] resorce [21:32] ikonia, as GRUB2 needs "/boot" and a bit more to work, i consider those dirs part of GRUB2 (even if they are also part of the Ubuntu installation normally) [21:32] ShapeShifter499: you can't install all 32bit sofware [21:33] bernz: you can symlink the etc stuff but i'm not sure about co-existing bootloaders on the same /boot [21:33] was wondering why I have a usb key that wont mount in this ubuntu 10.04 and will in the one in the lappy also v10.04? [21:33] janos: I still don't get it. What is it that you want to do with sdc1? [21:33] ZykorticK9: just was wondering why gdebi can't install 32 bit software on a 64 bit system even though the system can run 32 bit software [21:33] ShapeShifter499, dpkg -i --force-architecture package.deb [21:33] avg_guy, perhaps you do not have legacy usb support enabled on both pcs? [21:33] ShapeShifter499: do NOT do that command [21:34] ShapeShifter499, "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture 32BITPACKEG.deb" -- for the second time, i have no idea about gdebi does it have the same force-architecture switch? [21:34] ilovefairuz, yes! i was thinking about a clever combination of mounting and symlinking to make Ubuntu "share" those GRUB2-specific dirs with the other partition [21:34] ikonia: and why not? [21:34] ZykoticK9, no it desnt [21:34] Barnabas, it used to mount [21:34] WaltzingAlong: ok great thanks a million :) [21:34] bernz: my personal opinion is it's too much hassle, shove it all in / [21:34] Sorry for bothering you but i'm i the only guy using ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 ? what driver to use to be able to benefit fro HW acceleration please :"( ... ATI proprietay downloaded from AMD website causes xorg crash, Hardware driver application show me ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphic driver but it fails to build ! [21:34] Barnabas, but how would i check that? [21:34] ShapeShifter499: because depending on the deb it may not be laid out for 64bit and break your system [21:34] Ocean i want see inside sdc1 i can't see this hd on my computer [21:34] ikonia, do you think "force-arch" should be avoided? [21:35] avg_guy, you might want to do a "dmesg | tail -f" then plug your stick in, and see if it detects at least [21:35] avg_guy, its a setting in the BIOS of the pc [21:35] ZykoticK9: unless you fully understand the package [21:35] ShapeShifter499, what are you installing? [21:35] ilovefairuz, hahaha, crap, i was thinking that too, and that most would think so... i want to do it for the challenge/understanding, but i was hoping to hear from another knowledgeable person saying "yes, it can be done", or "no, there's a hitch at point x" [21:35] (before beginning the madness) [21:36] avg_guy, but try to look in the dmesg log after inserting - compare the output from one pc to the other [21:36] ZykorticK9: this ---> http://www.ereader.com/ereader/software/browse.htm [21:36] Does someone know howto use --exec switch instead of --name in star-stop-daemon because it seems that it cannot hande names longer than 15 characters? [21:36] !tab > ShapeShifter499 [21:36] ShapeShifter499, please see my private message [21:36] -.- [21:36] ocean [21:36] I forgot [21:36] you can helpme? [21:36] _-_ [21:36] bernz: i believe there's very little gain in doing it so, you can create a loop device disk and ticker with grub2 on it with a vmlinuz and an initrd [21:37] janos: If you want to mount harddisks/partitions, you need to add the correct lines to /etc/fstab. Is you /dev/sdc1 (or the corresponding uuid) in /etc/fstab? [21:37] that ereader looks crappy [21:37] bernz: or just do the whole LFS (Linux from Scratch) challenge [21:38] Ocean but is a secondary hd not the hd with ubuntu [21:38] janos: that should not be a problem. Anyway... you can try 'sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt' [21:39] Hey all. Trying to set up an SSH tunnel between my netbook (client) and mac (server) but Putty is timing out. I have the ssh keys in place (I belIeve properly) and Remote Login set on the Mac. I know I'm missing something and no tutorial I found seems to help. [21:39] KaiForce: dpkg get selections and set selections [21:39] janos: also a tip: if you want to type my name, just type "oc" and hit the key, it will autocomplete my name [21:39] So_Confused, I can't remember exactly where it is in putty but you need to turn on the TCP_Keep_Alive option / packet. [21:39] oc ok [21:39] ShapeShifter499, ereader seems to have worked on my 64bit system, but I have no idea if it's a good idea or not. Best of luck man. [21:40] oc what i can do for mount this hd? [21:40] So_Confused, Probably under connection or something. Look around for it. I don't have putty on this machine (linux) so I can't look for you. [21:40] edbian: I'll look at that... but I can't even connect. [21:40] ilovefairuz, hahaha... LFS challenge... i think i'm too old for that, i no longer have enough useful lifespan in my brain ;-) [21:40] janos: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt [21:40] So_Confused, Ohhh, it's timing out before you can even connect! [21:40] edbian: yes [21:40] So_Confused, firewall in between [21:40] janos: and about my nick: type "oc" + [21:40] So_Confused, Is the server behind a firewall / router? [21:41] WaltzingAlong: i found it, thanks again [21:41] Hey @ all, gotting problems on mounting images maybe somebody can help? http://nopaste.info/1f409f7948.html [21:41] edbian: all computers are behind the same router now... all on the same network. I'd need to head to a cafe to try it out over the net. Might that be the problem? [21:41] bernz: here's a tip: skip compiling stuff and use binaries from an existing distro, will speed up the process considerably and make it less "boring" [21:41] ZykoticK9: ok thanks anyways [21:41] So_Confused, No no that should make it simpler. Can you ping the server? [21:41] KingSeta: does /media/TMP exist? [21:41] edbian: I don't know how to do that [21:42] Sure it exitsts [21:42] KingSeta: err does /mnt/TMP exist? [21:42] ilovefairuz, cool, yes, that sounds like a good timesaver... well, i might still do it, but maybe for now, i'll just go with good old legacy GRUB [21:42] So_Confused, In a terminal: ping [21:42] KingSeta: I meant with the capital TMP ? [21:42] sure ^^ [21:42] Barnabas, this is what i get http://pastebin.com/RJbrhwaQ [21:42] So_Confused, nmap [21:42] ok I have working GUI but my mouse and keyboard do not respond, how may I fix it? [21:43] KingSeta: have you tried w/out the -t option? [21:43] edbian: destination host unreachable [21:43] So_Confused, nmap allows you to discover the open ports on remote host [21:43] yes, then it means it needs a filetype! (i remember times it does alone...) [21:43] sometux: kk [21:43] So_Confused, That's your problem. The two computers cannot talk to each other over the network. Can either one get to the internet? [21:43] edbian: all can get to the net [21:44] So_Confused, what does "sudo tracert " say? [21:44] ilovefairuz, thanks for the ideas/comments :-) [21:44] KingSeta: in that case, something might be wrong with the imagefile. Can you verify it's 100% valid? [21:44] #32 === sean is now known as Guest36485 [21:44] So_Confused, That command shows how many hops the packet takes to get from you computer to the destination [21:44] bernz: you're welcome [21:44] how can i ".tar.tgz" a folder [21:44] So_Confused, What is the i.p. of your server and of your client machine? [21:44] dp_: I showed you before [21:45] Can someone suggest a good way to compare files (preferably GUI)? I tried using diff but found it printed too much extra content. [21:45] no i cant, but i have 4 other images with the same problem, normally there is one of 10 broken but never more... (pirate bay top games xD) [21:45] dp_: tar cfvz filename.tar foldername [21:45] edbian: server is 192.168.2.4 .... how to check in ubuntu? [21:45] alright, off i go to do crazyish stuff :-) [21:45] So_Confused, ipconfig -a [21:45] that created .tgz file [21:45] dp_: tar cvfz myfile.tar.gz myfolder is exactly the same as tar cvfz myfile.tgz myfolder [21:45] dp_: it's the same [21:45] So_Confused, Is the server a windows machine? [21:45] how i can setup compiz using two screen? (when i active the second screen, compiz craches and fallback to metacity) [21:45] but the person am sending is nt able to extract it [21:45] edbian: server is a mac [21:45] dp_: it created .tgz because you specified that in your command [21:45] dp_: tgz = tar.gz === jono is now known as Guest43220 [21:46] ok [21:46] So_Confused, typo btw, it's sudo ifconfig -a [21:46] edbian: ahhh...kk [21:46] edbian: no need for sudo or the -a :) [21:46] bastidrazor, Oh :P I'm on debian, I need the sudo. You're right about -a though [21:46] So no more ideas why Ubuntu dont likes my images? http://nopaste.info/1f409f7948.html? [21:47] edbian: says ipconfig is unknown... command not found [21:47] So_Confused, What ssh server is the mac running (this has little to do with the problem I suspect. I'm just curious)? [21:47] So_Confused, Yeah, typo, it's ifconfig [21:47] So_Confused, not ip, if [21:47] edbian: simply enabled remote login. ssh is built in [21:47] avg_guy, whats the output on the pc where it works ok? [21:47] So_Confused, Neat :) [21:48] I just edited a site via ftp and refreshed in firefox and now I can't hit the site from my specific computer. In linux, is there a cache or something that can be cleared if a route gets confused? [21:48] So_Confused, Do you see your ip address yet? [21:48] avg_guy, and are you running the latest kernel om both of your pcs [21:48] chris535: changing a site in ftp won't change your route [21:48] Shit, now when I start the laptop not eaven the itemlist shows, just "GRUB loading, please wait... Error 15" [21:48] edbian: yes... 192.168.2.3.. BUT that is the same ip as my OTHER mac..... my desktop [21:48] Grozzy: stop that language now [21:49] what is so great about GNOME shell? I've seen a lot of blog hype about it but not sure what makes it to good [21:49] Please refrain from swearing (lol) [21:49] sorry [21:49] So_Confused, ha, really? [21:49] edbian: oops... no... 192.168.2.2 [21:49] edbian: sorry [21:49] So_Confused, oh, there ya go. [21:49] ikonia, I understand that but I'm fairly confident that there is something cached that both my ftp client and browser reference. Any idea what that might be? [21:49] econdudeawesome: did you try it? [21:49] So_Confused, We're in good order then. [21:49] edbian: cool beans [21:49] chris535: I suspect you're wrong [21:49] kingseta no [21:50] So_Confused, Mmm, I was expecting to have different IP schemes, like 192.168.2.4 and then 192.168.10.1 [21:50] econdudeawesome: then stop asking stupid questions [21:50] So_Confused, 192.168.x.x is unroutable ip [21:50] econdudeawesome: this is technical support only. Feel free to join #ubuntu-offtopic for such discussion... [21:50] chris535: what exactly did you change [21:50] sometux, What do you mean? [21:50] ubottu: tell econdudeawesome about terminal [21:50] econdudeawesome, please see my private message [21:50] oCean_: dont have any idea for my problem? [21:50] edbian: I can change the ip on the mac under system tcp/ip [21:50] edbian, unreachable from Internet [21:50] "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" does not do anything, what can I do to fix my keybaord and mouse? [21:50] ikonia, nothing really, i transfered a ftp file while refreshing. [21:51] sometux, He's doing this all on his lan. [21:51] I just installed 10.04 as a kvm guest and moving the mouse inside the vm window makes the guest's Xorg process take nearly 100% cpu, and the cursor is of course slow to update. How can I improve this? [21:51] ubottu: tell bastidrazor how to read previous questions [21:51] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:51] ikonia, php file that is [21:51] chris535: ok, so that won't change anything in your sites config [21:51] plus I dont see a xorg.conf in X11, how may I configure manually in 10.04? [21:51] edbian, why don't try nmap [21:51] So_Confused, I don't think you need to change the ip. Let's try ping again first. You can't ping the server from the client can you ping the client from the server? [21:51] what is the recommended way for generating a list of all installed applications (in a format that can be used to install that set of applications at a later point)? [21:51] sometux, Cause ping isn't confirmed as working yet. === zz_WhiteKIBA is now known as WhiteKIBA [21:51] nailora1: dpkg -l [21:51] !clone | nailora1 [21:51] nailora1: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [21:51] KingSeta: you should find a way to verify the images. [21:51] ubottu: tell Barnabas about terminal [21:51] Barnabas, please see my private message [21:52] edbian, connectivity problem! [21:52] hm... how is this gay windows applikation called to mount isos? [21:52] edbian: says host is down [21:52] So_Confused, Which says that about what? [21:52] KingSeta: do not use that sort of language [21:52] KingSeta: "Gay" is not a pejorative. Please don't use it as one. [21:52] KingSeta: watch your attitude [21:52] !o4o > KingSeta [21:52] KingSeta, please see my private message [21:52] ikonia, correct. I'm wondering if maybe the web server might have kicked on something like psad [21:52] what your aptitude [21:52] chris535: nope [21:52] sry... it was a really crappy software i remember but it worked... i will find it ^^ [21:53] edbian: sorry... server (mac) says client (ubuntu) is down [21:53] Ok, i am trying to setup VNC on my box, and after making a file, /etc/init.d/vncserver, the error came up- Line 30, Desktopname: command not found - i have changed the name, but i guess i dont know wht to change it to? [21:53] oCean_, Thanks ! [21:53] So_Confused, Can you ping your router? [21:53] KingSeta: ask in ##windows windows software is offtopic in here [21:53] KingSeta, daemontools [21:53] KingSeta: daemontools probably [21:53] So_Confused, You have a router right? [21:53] !automate | nailora1 [21:53] nailora1, please see my private message [21:53] dp_: you're welcome [21:53] So_Confused: ubuntu desktop does not come with ssh receivable by default. install openssh-server on the ubuntu box and you should be able to connect TO the ubuntu box via ssh [21:54] Yeah sure thx!!!

Mine got messed up and my email is no longer searchable [21:54] edbian, route print [21:54] ikonia, well it works now :) not sure what changed [21:54] edbian, so you get the default gateway [21:54] thx IdleOne, ikonia [21:54] edbian: from mac to router... host is down [21:54] ikonia, appriciate the dialog [21:54] chris535: probably local browser cache [21:55] chris535: no problem [21:55] nailora1: welcome [21:55] What's the best Ubuntu/Linux alternative to OSX's Mail App that allows multiple "from" addresses? [21:55] So_Confused, can you ping your router? What does "sudo route" show you? [21:55] AdamSewell: evolution is installed by default [21:55] So_Confused, Oops sorry, you can't ping the router but you can get to the internet?? [21:55] So [21:55] AdamSewell: there are plenty, thunderbird, kmail, [21:56] So_Confused, What about sudo route ?? [21:56] what are files~ ...filesname followed by ~ [21:56] ? [21:56] ikonia: yes but i've not found one that easily allows for mutliple "from" addresses [21:56] dp_: backups [21:56] Hello, after installing ubuntu 10.04 (I already had windows 7 installed), windows 7 stopped working in the sense that whenever I try to boot it using grub it doesn't boot. After googling a bit, I found a solution to use testdisk and rebuild bootsector, and then run update-grub, however that did not work either. Whenever I try to boot windows, i get a blank screen and it just hangs. Anybody know of a solution ? [21:56] So_Confused, I suspect the router is down / needs to be reset. What type is it? Linksys or something? [21:56] AdamSewell: evolution [21:56] AdamSewell: the ones 've mentioned works fine, bastidrazor is also correct evolution is fine [21:56] Ok, thanks [21:56] edbian, if the client and server on the same subnet no need for gateway [21:56] IdleOne, ah i forgt ..thanks ! [21:56] edbian: can ping mac to router... don't know why but my connecting puttered out.... checked and I CAN ping from mac to router [21:57] ilovefairuz:ok i've gotten the pc wired and we looked for the linksys signal but nothings so what do you think [21:57] So_Confused, so the mac can ping the router, but the Ubuntu machine cannot ping the router? [21:58] oCean_: A image worked since years for me, gives me the same error, so it must be the ubuntu... (b4 update 10.0X the image worked...) [21:58] edbian: Ubuntu CAN ping the router [21:59] So_Confused, Everything can talk to the router fine and get to the internet. The two machines cannot ping each other? === Iqbal is now known as Guest86027 [21:59] edbian: Just tried pinging eachother... the terminal now hangs... no feedback [22:00] irule: dump ubuntu and install debian squeeze... HAHAHA JERKOFFS! [22:00] edbian, nmap ip | grep 22 [22:00] KingSeta: yeah, that is weird.. anything useful in 'dmesg | tail' ? [22:00] So_Confused, ctrl + c and it will end / give output. [22:00] are you pinging the external or internal IP? [22:00] thanks for nothing aholes [22:00] irule: desist immediately [22:00] is that usefull in your eyes? [334426.411773] ISOFS: Unable to identify CD-ROM format. [22:00] Anybody faced this known problem of dual boot (with windows 7) after updating to ubuntu 10.04 ?

[22:01] So_Confused, have you been fooling around with DMZ settings in the router :-) [22:01] I googled a bit, and found a bug report regarding it. I am wondering if this is the case or I was just reading wrong information -- since I am facing it currently, after upgrading to 10.04, I couldn't boot windows 7 anymore [22:02] edbian: I don't see thomashc's comment [22:02] So_Confused, Bottom line, the machines appear to be configured correctly. The router is blocking them from talking. [22:02] So_Confused: are you pinging the internal or external IP? [22:02] So_Confused, thomashc> are you pinging the external or internal IP? [22:02] ^^ [22:02] ha [22:03] KingSeta: what does 'file image.iso' output? [22:03] echo 'are you pinging the internal or external IP?' [22:03] edbian, nmap ip | grep 22 [22:03] sometux, Tell him. [22:03] Sumo-Ente: nmap -p 22 ip [22:03] So_Confused, nmap ip | grep 22 [22:03] Thomashc: I'm pinging 192.168.2.3 and 192.168.2.4 [22:03] sometux* [22:03] oCean_: rld-tst3.iso: data [22:04] KingSeta: that's probably the issue, it's not an iso image [22:04] i am trying to setup VNC on my box, and after making a file, /etc/init.d/vncserver, the error came up- Line 30, Desktopname: command not found - i have changed the name, but i guess i dont know wht to change it to? [22:04] hmmm... thats not good... [22:04] sometux: install nmap now [22:05] KingSeta: its plain data, you probably could create an iso with that using mkisofs and such tools [22:05] Hi. I'm trying to move from Windows to Linux, but am having trouble with fonts - everything looks odd and makes my insides hurt. Is there a guide somewhere on how to make text look the way I'm used to? I've downloaded some MS fonts and swapped them around in Firefox, but things still look off... [22:05] edbian: I did forward port 22 to the server(mac) at 192.168.2.4 [22:05] So_Confused, you need to figure out if port 22 (ssh) open on the server or not using nmap command [22:06] So_Confused, You don't need to port forward if they're all on the same side of the router. That's for you want to connect from the internet. [22:06] Is it possible to copy over all content of /boot partition into a boot-folder on my root partition? [22:06] sometux: but not the grep bit, thats retarded [22:06] sometux: output reads 8022/tcp open unknown..... and the 22 is red [22:06] edbian: so the port is for when the netbook is out in the world... kk [22:07] sometux, So_Confused The machine's need to be able to ping each other first. Pinging establishes basic connectivity. Porst are on top of that. [22:07] SubCool: I'm not sure you should be using Desktopname. Wanna paste your vncserver script to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com so we can see it? [22:07] edbian, if icmp blocked no ping [22:07] So_Confused, You still use port 22 if you're on the lan, you just don't need to forward it. [22:07] edbian: router is Belkin if that helps [22:07] edbian: kk [22:07] Upon execution of command: "sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda bs=512" Hours go by and it doesn't finish writing. In order to know what was happening I invoked (in another console) dd again, with the skip option, in order to know what % of the disk had been written; it seems that it went almost till the end, but the last bytes remain unwritten (the disk had been previously zeroed) [22:08] So_Confused, ssh -v server-ip [22:08] Hi, is it possible to make NetworkManager run a script every-time it connects to an specific wireless network? [22:08] ALan502: i dunno about NM, but wicd will do that [22:08] hi guys ;] [22:09] sometux: connection timed out [22:09] brummbaer, i need NM because i often connect with a 3G modem to the internet [22:09] my system keeps locking up after the kernel update [22:09] brummbaer, wicd doesn't support wireless broadband [22:09] So_Confused, You're gonna have to get into the settings of your router. I suspect that's where the problem lies. Not in the config of the server / client. Do you know how to get to your router's web interface?? [22:09] So_Confused, are there other services accessable on the server [22:09] Alan502: yeah... there is that... bummer. [22:10] edbian: already there [22:10] Alan502: it's possible UpStart might do this from what i've read [22:10] Upon execution of command: "sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda bs=512" Hours go by and it doesn't finish writing. In order to know what was happening I invoked (in another console) dd again, with the skip option, in order to know what % of the disk had been written; it seems that it went almost till the end, but the last bytes remain unwritten (the disk had been previously zeroed) [22:10] Alan502: or you could script a daemon [22:10] hey how do i change my KDM theme????? [22:10] what's the bsd channels? [22:10] never mind.. === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [22:11] brummbaer, hmm i'm not too familiar with that, scripting a daemon? [22:11] <_pg_> what channel is for linux mint? [22:11] <_pg_> !variants [22:11] !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu [22:11] Hi all! [22:11] !mintsupport [22:11] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [22:11] thinkingabout: life can be hard when you don't read the manual, kill -USR1 will tell you the status of dd, though if you want to try again you might want to use dd_rescue [22:11] i need help [22:11] <_pg_> IdleOne nice.... [22:11] So_Confused, Nothing's in a dmz right? Have you ever messed with these settings before? [22:12] to open a port =) [22:12] Alan502: basically just write a bash script that you can run at start-up that monitors net-conn... should be pretty easy, just an if-then loop... [22:12] So_Confused, Do both machine's show up in the dhcp clients list? [22:12] edbian: Nothing in the dmz.... just thought of something.. would the firewall on my mac stop the pinging? [22:12] Alan502: i'm certainly not saying NM cannot do what you're looking for, i just don't know for sure that it can [22:12] So_Confused, It can. [22:12] !dban [22:12] edbian: all 3 comps are in the list [22:13] cast, coincidentaly, it has just finished as I was writing. It ended prompting the message "No free space in the device". Is that normal when it reaches the end? [22:13] thinkingabout: why do you make such a small block size? it will be significantly faster with bigger blocks. also /dev/urandom is relatively slow, especially compared to /dev/zero [22:13] So_Confused, Odd though that you would be able to ping the router but not another computer. The firewall doesn't know the difference. It only sees an IP address. [22:13] edbian: wait... just 2 comps... wrong list [22:13] So_Confused, So I don't think the firewall on the mac is blocking this connection. It is possible though. [22:13] zsquareplusc, you are right. No wonder it didn't seem to finish: 33693,2 s, 1,2 MB/s [22:13] So_Confused, What list has what in it? [22:13] thinkingabout: for scrubbing disk drives, most people seem to use DBAN (http://www.dban.org) [22:13] why is it so slow if I define bs to be 1 byte? [22:14] Hello all, running 10.04 with the latest updates. I have external monitor connected to my Toshiba Laptop, but I can't seem to get the Laptop's display to turn off an only use the external monitor, any ideas ? [22:14] brummbaer, i'm still googling if NM has that feature. Wouldn't that type of daemon, looping constatly, make ubuntu slower? [22:14] edbian: dhcp list only shows my desktop and the ubuntu... not the server mac [22:14] Loshki, I was trying to understand what DBAN does, kind of like getting my hands into the whys and hows [22:14] but the server mac is on the net... I'm browsing and everything [22:14] alan502: it would use a little bit of resources, but if you have it sleep for 30 seconds or so before re-checking, no problem === spiros is now known as spyrosebastos [22:15] So_Confused, servers take static not dhcp [22:15] So_Confused, That's a problem. [22:15] sometux, Not necessarily [22:15] thinkingabout: yes. [22:15] So_Confused, does the mac have a static ip ? It is possible [22:15] thinkingabout: disk drives are block devices and work best when you use a block size that matches the disk and operating system. A bs of 1 is definitely suboptimal. I would recommend a blocksize of 1024... [22:15] edbian, but you need to know the ip for sure [22:16] brummbaer, ok ok, do you know how can i find the hostname of an ip from the command line? [22:16] thinkingabout: you could use openssl -in /dev/zero to create a much faster PRNG than /dev/urandom :) [22:16] sometux, Yeah, it's annoying if they're on dhcp but that doesn't mean they have to be static. Also, there is such a thing as dhcp reservation. [22:16] alan502: what type of IP? internal? external? [22:16] brummbaer, that way i could script IF hostname=mydesktop then run my script [22:16] brummbaer, internal, LAN [22:16] thinkingabout: smaller block sizes are slow because the program sends a command to the linux kernel/disk etc for each block. smaller blocks -> more commands needed. usually a block site of many kilo bytes or even megabytes work fine [22:16] hello [22:16] hey does anyone here know where my xorg.conf is saved to right now? (there isn't a /etc/X11/xorg.conf) [22:16] edbian: server mac. I set it to have a static of 192.168.2.4 [22:17] does anyone knows how to install new browser or irc client to lipnus? [22:17] linpus i mean.. [22:17] disappearedng, xorg is gone in 10.04 [22:17] xorg.conf [22:17] So_Confused, You probably don't want to have the static address in the range of dhcp addresses. That might be the problem. What is your static range? [22:17] zsquareplusc, would the logical thing to do to send 512-byte blocks, given that clusters are 512-bytes long? [22:17] edbian: that's the ip NOT showing in the dhcp list [22:17] Barnabas: then what is the substitution? [22:17] edbian: one sec [22:17] So_Confused, typo, what is your dhcp range? [22:17] gnome does the config [22:18] disappearedng: xorg nowdays can run without a config file. it will use automatic detection then. if you need the file, just create it [22:18] alan502: do you mean to find the ssid of a network connection, or the hostname of a physical machine on the network? [22:18] lfuser-116: what does that have to do with ubuntu? [22:18] edbian: 2 through 100 [22:18] So_Confused, I am thinking that the router doesn't send packets to ip addresses in the dhcp range that it has not given out. [22:18] So_Confused, So make the mac static IP 192.168.2.101 [22:18] edbian: will do. [22:18] So_Confused, And try all the pinging again. [22:18] cast, another question (sorry for asking too much): given that I didn't specify a "count", is it normal that it gives the message "there's no free space in the device" as it reaches its end? [22:18] So [22:19] thinkingabout: yes. [22:19] So_Confused, Does this make sense to you? Do I need to explain anything? Do you see anything wrong with what I'm doing?? [22:19] thank you :) [22:19] I come from a windows mindset, and being able to tamper with disks like this with such a simple command as dd is, makes me excited [22:19] what if the automatic detection for this session is perfect? I remember that my xorg.conf used to crash my old settings and this time everything works out great [22:19] edbian: it makes sense... and what do you mean by wrong? (are you gonna hack me) === nix is now known as Guest70361 [22:20] I need to save current settings to a correct xorg.conf for reliability purpose [22:20] thinkingabout: then there will be more to get excited about :) [22:20] thinkingabout: but the caches are much bigger, the drivers/disk can manage that 512 bytes/sector size on itself. [22:20] oCean_, I hope so, I love the CLI [22:20] So_Confused, ha ha. No no, I just wanted your input. I'm not 100% sure about this. I'm just troubleshooting with you and I don't want to miss anything obvious. [22:20] hi, where is my PATH variable defined? I don't see it in ~/.bashrc nor in /etc/profile [22:20] zsquareplusc, could you define "cache" in this context¿? [22:21] edbian: progress!!! server can ping ubuntu... let me disable the firewall on the server and see if that ping works [22:21] So_Confused, That was the problem I bet :) [22:21] brummbaer, hmmm i meant but hostname of the physical machine but it'd be interesting to know the SSID too [22:21] cast, what portions of a HDD would not be accessible using "dd"? only the g-list and the p-list? [22:21] alan502: i think what you want to do is grep output of iwconfig for ESSID: network name [22:21] edbian, hold sec So_Confused told that 22 showed on nmap test [22:21] thinkingabout: the disk itself has a cache (usually megabytes nowdays) and the linux kernel itself also uses cache ("buffers" if oyu look at the output of "free") [22:21] brummbaer, ok, that's a lot of help THANKS! [22:21] edbian: pinging both ways [22:21] So_Confused, try and connect [22:22] brummbaer, i'll start scripting my fist daemon :) [22:22] Starting to use quickly...just want to pass a command with an argument to the command line to get output to a document [22:22] alan502: cool! :D [22:22] edbian: trying now [22:22] So_Confused, pinging both ways == very good sign [22:22] thinkingabout: g/p-list? [22:22] anyway to save current xorg.conf settings ? [22:23] cast, yes, the table where bad sectors are remapped into a different logical sector [22:23] g-list = grown list [22:23] anyone with any suggestions as to how to do that? [22:23] "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" does nothing, what can I do to fix keyboard/mouse? [22:23] p-list = just like the g-list but written at factory, i.e. the list of bad sectors with which the disk is sold to you [22:24] well, dd can only write to the abstraction the harddisk presents [22:24] how could I verify a users system password without root permissions (user enters password, check if matches with password in /etc/shadow)? [22:24] guys when i get on my ubtun i got this http://pastebin.com/24BrQJY8 [22:24] edbian: says no route to host [22:24] any idea how to fix [22:24] So_Confused, but Ubuntu can ping the mac server? [22:24] edbian: yes [22:24] alan_: *what* do you want? (you question was not cear for me) [22:24] So_Confused, now it's time to nmap (IMO): "nmap " [22:25] edbian: dam... no . Can't ping host [22:25] So_Confused, The ubuntu machine CANNOT ping the mac? [22:25] *clear [22:25] cast, that's what I thought [22:25] edbian: correct. [22:25] if i'm setting up a computer that will be remotely logged into and used to run cli applications should I use the ubuntu server edition or the ubuntu desktop edition? [22:25] anyone for where PATH variable is declared? I want to be able to source it to emacs which isn't seeing it [22:25] So_Confused, but ubuntu can ping the router... (thinking) [22:26] thinkingabout: use encryption rather than secure deletion, [22:26] guntbert: trying to get quickly to accept a command from the command line to get output to a document [22:26] alan_: there is #quickly (small but might be someone active) === sekHelp is now known as rousing [22:26] is there a tool to test your mother board, for ubuntu ? [22:26] ok will check that you [22:26] edbian: ubuntu can ping router [22:26] cast, why so? [22:26] yonahw: which directory is the binary for emacs in? [22:26] thinkingabout: because you can never be confident of secure deletion [22:26] alan_: ah -- I read "I want to do it quickly..." sorry [22:27] So [22:27] So_Confused, sudo tracert [22:27] so, anybody knows how to verify a users password without root permissions? [22:27] bastidrazor: /usr/bin/emacs [22:27] ChaosR, Log in as that user... [22:27] edbian: from a shell script :P? [22:27] yonahw: type echo $PATH ../usr/bin should be in there [22:27] Is there a program wich can help making css weblayout using ubuntu? [22:28] ChaosR, su [22:28] what should the mount point be for a new install? [22:28] ChaosR, will log you in as that user on the command line [22:28] cast, why not? because some data might happen to be in a sector that's later marked as "bad" and remapped elsewhere, thus making it impossible to rewrite the data at that sector? [22:28] edbian: tracert command not found [22:28] how can I connect to a network with iwconfig? I have no GUI [22:28] edbian: I want something that returns true/false [22:28] edbian: So_Confused traceroute6 [22:28] I dont want to enter that user's account [22:28] So_Confused, Use traceroute6 then [22:28] guntbert: just checked the rooms there is no #quickly [22:29] ChaosR, If you could do that it would be a huge security flaw :P [22:29] edbian: probably not [22:29] ChaosR, Imagine simply being able to check the passwords of other users. Why not just write a script that could guess passwords all day? [22:29] loshki its default except i change one other field http://www.abdevelopment.ca/blog/start-vnc-server-ubuntu-boot [22:29] thinkingabout: yes. [22:29] edbian: Unknown host [22:29] anyone familiar iwth Pam face authentication with the KDM plugin.. i got hte program and both of them compilid.. how do you install a plugin for the greeter in kubuntu>?? [22:29] So_Confused, Immediately?? [22:29] edbian: too many possibilities? [22:29] ChaosR, w [22:29] bastidrazor: my problem is on the other end. In emacs itself the path variable is missing most of what my path variable has [22:30] edbian: yep... didn't even think about it [22:30] picard1421: hey 007 [22:30] ChaosR, Well it doesn't matter, there is no way to check other user's passwords. [22:30] So_Confused, This is soo odd. [22:30] lv [22:30] lol [22:30] !lv [22:30] alan_: sorry, I have no knowledge about that software :-( [22:30] So_Confused, route shows what? (pastebin if necessary) [22:30] irule, use ifconfig or iwconfig write man iwconfig it will tell you how [22:30] So_Confused, sudo route [22:30] So....I installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 and absolutley hated the desktop side panel thing and wanted to remove it, so I deleted some menu manager application in the software control center, now the desktop is just the top bar, and the background, flashing between a white screen and that, and I can't do anything, anyone know how to fix? [22:31] What is another good media-server that is like mediatomb and easy to use? [22:31] cast, good point, if a disk has 100 sectors marked as "bad", would that always imply 51.200 kB of data, or could it happen that sectors are bigger than 512-b? [22:31] edbian: can you give the the paste bin link? I can't remember what it is [22:31] funtbert:hmmm ok not sure where to get the info. the documentation doesn't seem to have the info [22:31] thinkingabout: i don't know as to the internal workings, nor care to, as they keep changing and you can never be sure [22:31] !pastebin [22:31] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

Unless it is flashing between screens when you are doing something? [22:32] Loshki, im sorry, not that site, this one: http://www.davelachapelle.ca/guides/ubuntu-tightvnc-server/ [22:32] yonahw: oh i see what you mean. i'm unsure how emacs works i have never used it.. although you can set PATH stuff in your .bashrc or even your .profile but again i have no clue as to how emacs sees what PATH you ahve [22:32] So_Confused, The ubuntu machine isn't static too is it? [22:32] Guntbert:hmmm ok not sure where to get the info. the documentation doesn't seem to have the info [22:33] alan_: no problem :) did you see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Quickly ? [22:33] No, its flashing like a white blank screen, constantly [22:33] edbian: no. Is the full command !pastebin sudo route [22:33] cast, do you think that it's getting to the point where, eventually, access to the disk could be so obscure as to allow it to keep logs with your data that are transparent to you? [22:33] And when it first comes back there is a box with up and down arrows in it [22:33] Where the sidebar should be [22:33] Hackana: ok let me reread your first post because I am not sure if I understood it correctly [22:33] Or was [22:33] So_Confused, pastebin is a website not a program. pastebinit is a program. Just go to pastebin.ubuntu.com and copy / paste the output of sudo route. [22:34] Guntbert:yes I did there is is a lot of info there. Didn't see anything about that [22:34] anyone uses libnfc on ubuntu? [22:34] bastidrazor: I appreciate the help. My question really is how does the terminal know what PATH I have. I figure it must be pulling this information from somewhere and if I can find that I can then in turn feed it to emacs which is running bash anyways just apparently without the correct config [22:34] So_Confused, If route is short enough you can just describe it to me. Or paste a single line here in the channel. === dave is now known as psych [22:34] alan_: if you cannot find the info elsewhere -- look into the source :-) [22:34] SubCool: that script must have been written for a different version of linux, because I don't think Ubuntu has the desktopname command. Just put a string there instead, e.g. change NAME=”desktopname” to NAME="my-vnc-server" [22:35] Guntbert: What do you mean? [22:35] thinkingabout: certainly, take SSD [22:35] thinkingabout: that almost does it inadvertantly [22:35] Hi, could anyone point me to some info about kdevelop4 status for ubuntu 10.4 ? [22:36] Why it's not in the repos? [22:36] yonahw: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2793 this may shed some light on it. /etc/environment [22:36] edbian: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/471262 [22:36] yonahw, Is this helpful? http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/57694-changing-path-variable.html [22:36] So_Confused, That is totally normal... [22:36] mloskot:kdevelop is for kde are you useing kde or gnome? [22:37] So_Confused, The router is 192.168.2.1 yes? [22:37] alan_: well - quickly is open source - so you should be able to look into the source code and see if there is any handling of command line parameters and what form they should have [22:37] edbian: yes [22:37] SubCool: pay attention to the quotes around "my-vnc-server". Use regular double quotes... [22:37] Hackana: I opened a private message [22:37] alan_: I use "normal" ubuntu, with gnome.but I can't see why it's for KDE. I use number of KDE apps under GNOME [22:37] guntbert:I get it good suggestion [22:37] So_Confused, Is there a firewall on the mac? Perhaps it's blocking all incoming connections? [22:37] Hackana: check the left side panel under the Ubuntu [22:38] any list of terminal "plug in's" ? [22:38] is the absence of g++ in the package 'mingw-w64' intentional, or accidental? it has gcc, but not g++. [22:38] edbian: firewall is set for seecific services and apps... ssh is allowed. I gave it access [22:38] So_Confused, nmap ? [22:38] So_Confused, Shows that ssh is allowed? [22:38] nacitar: isn't there a seperate package for g++? [22:38] bastidrazor:, edbian thanks for the links I think this will likely do it for me [22:39] mlsskot: just asking because some people don't have kde and want to use them under gnome. Your right theo if you have them both installed it should work under gnome too [22:39] yonahw, good :) [22:39] Loshki, i thought i did, thanks.. [22:39] cast, disambiguation: SSD from Eff? or... SSD meaning "Solid State Drive"? [22:39] floris: if there is i'd love to know, I'm already cross-compiling 32-bit c++ windows apps from ubuntu, wanting to do the same for 64-bit... but im not aware of any package including the amd64 mingw g++ [22:40] alan_: it's not about working or not, but it's about kdevelop not being available for Ubuntu 10.4 in the repositories, though it was available for 9.04 [22:40] alan_: btw, did you try "man quickly" and "quickly -h" ? [22:40] alan_: My question is, why kdevelop4 vanished :-) [22:40] edbian: nmap from ubuntu says host seems down but blocking ping [22:40] thinkingabout: the latter [22:40] help [22:40] floris: "mingw32" has just the 32-bit ones, "mingw-w64" has the 32-bit ones + the amd64 ones... but only gcc not g++... all i'm aware of. [22:40] Loshki, yep :-) lets see how it goes [22:40] Guntbert: yes I did try that [22:40] SubCool: your original message: 'Line 30, Desktopname: command not found' implies you used backquotes... [22:41] Would Secure Digital cards belong to the SSD category? [22:41] how do you download drivers in ubuntu? [22:41] edbian: I disabled firewall on the mac and nmap returned same message [22:41] it gave the same error [22:41] soupahtwinthousa: you shouldnt need to [22:41] So_Confused, So then the router is still being a jerk. try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" on the ubuntu machine to reset everything and get a renewed dhcp address. [22:41] mloskot:have you looked in getdeb or use apt-get? [22:42] Compiz performance on my computer isn't very good, but I really like the expo plugin.

[22:46] Can someone please help me erase nsPrivateBrowsingService.js from firefox. It is locked by 'root' and will not allow me to do so. [22:47] mloskot: System/Administration/Software Sources, Updates tab, check the backports box (Unsupported Updates) [22:47] so she should stick with vista huh? [22:47] how do I install ubuntu without any DE (gnome or kde etc)? or should I be using debian instead in that case? :P [22:47] So_Confused, Again, I think the problem is in the router. It might be easier to simply unplug it and re-plug it. And make it refresh everything. [22:47] i need help installing vmware tools on a fresh install of ubuntu 10.4 [22:47] im a noob at this [22:47] c3l, That's essentially ubuntu server. [22:47] can u run mugen on ubuntu? [22:48] simon__, Sudo apt-get install virtualbox [22:48] soupahtwinthousa: well actually I think that Ubuntu is less trouble to maintain, but she'll need some hand holding if she transitions away from Vista, and you'll be on the hook for that.... [22:48] edbian: you want me to restore factory defaults? [22:48] ubuntu is the guest os [22:48] yeaaa vitualbox rules!!!! [22:48] So_Confused, No, just unplug it and re-plug it. [22:48] were do i get the driver disk? [22:48] how can I improve compiz performance? [22:48] edbian: kk... be back in a few minutes [22:48] So_Confused, Then restart networking on both machines (not sure how to do that on the mac) [22:49] edbian: you mean to get new ip addys?

[22:49] test [22:49] i dont need virtual box [22:49] ubuntu is a vm in widows [22:49] windows [22:49] even [22:49] edbian: ooh, thanks. btw, do you have any clue of whether its possible to install ubuntu with an installer that lets you choose what packages are to be insatlled? [22:49] So_Confused, yeah, it's likely after you reset it the machine's won't have connectivity. Usually you plug a machine into a working router and configure the machine, not the other way around. [22:49] Hermaphrodisiaqu: we can hear you... [22:49] karlo: no, that command will only remove packages that are not needed anymore [22:49] Loshki_yeah i see that commin. she's amazed at vista's dreamscene and the ability to change the boot and login screen. [22:50] c3l, I don't think Ubuntu has the functionality. The packages that are installed by default are a huge part of what makes one distro from another. I'm sure there is a distro that let's you do that.

I use debian and I didn't know that! :) [22:52] c3l: I think there is a minimal install option (maybe on the alternative cd?) and from there you can pick and choose what packages you add, but unless you have a specific need, you're much better off with a standard installation, because everyone here is familiar with it and will be able to help with any problems... [22:52] cast: what is the difference between debian and ubuntu? I know ubuntu is debian based, but is there any major differences aside from 'end user frontend'? [22:52] edbian: I beg your pardon? [22:53] c3l: the policies and the communities [22:53] guntbert, I was afraid of a Ubuntu VS. Vista war for a second there! :P [22:53] Loshki, it was the dislpay perameters [22:53] edbian: not from me to be sure :-) [22:53] soupahtwinthousa: strictly speaking, ubuntu vs vista is off topic here, and belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic.

[23:09] erkan^: its best if you use the ubuntu software center to install things [23:09] erkan^: why not just install it via apt-get/synaptics? [23:09] edbian: Got a connection!

[23:11] bernz: If I recall directly using the installer option to encrypt your home folder also encrypts swap. I may be wrong on that. The performance hit on a modern processor shouldn't be an issue. The built in encryption method also does not hide filenames, only contents. [23:11] erkan^: cd into it [23:11] same error [23:11] - Loshki thanks for all ur help!!!

[23:15] headkase314, i should probably create a spare partition for copying stuff onto that i don't want to lose in case i forget my key. :-) i assume copying a file off an encrypted volume onto a plain volume drops the crypto on the copied file, true? [23:15] bernz: Yes, if the destination is not encrypted the file there should be unencrypted as well.

[23:51] ennui, i was going to do the same thing- and it does. but then it replaces it [23:52] i had probs with samba too [23:52] samba sucks [23:52] installed samba via ubuntu software center [23:52] it never works [23:52] fixed it [23:52] no password is required but its still asking me for one. so i try a user that's actually on the machine and should work but it doesn't login [23:52] the terminal method and builting 10.04 are borked [23:52] synnine: how did you fix it? [23:53] SubCool: what do you mean? were you able to boot from that partition after shrinking it? [23:53] undid what i had done in the terminal [23:53] which was? [23:53] http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=1590 [23:53] installed "Samba" via software center (or synaptic) [23:53] SubCool, have you guys looked here http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=1590 [23:54] i didn't install it unless it comes with 10.04 [23:54] after that System > Administation > Samba [23:55] hi everyone [23:55] http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/07/what_will_congress_do_about_th.html [23:55] coz_: thats for a samba server though [23:55] hi you and youz [23:55] ennui, i didnt end up using it, i had to make a boot disc and stuff or something. So i said screw it and just flashed the box. [23:55] oh, you need to access samba [23:55] oops wrong server [23:55] haha sorry about that bro [23:56] tripelb, not sure what that link was for [23:56] im having problems using amule internet connection shutsdown very often can anyone help? [23:56] let me see if i can access my windows box real quick [23:57] dlandau, I dont think I can help ... I havent used amule for some time [23:57] have to go turn it on [23:57] i can access another one that doesn't require a password but if a password is required i cannot connect [23:57] i've tried user + password and compname\user + password [23:57] SubCool: If I bork the OSX partition will that mess up rEFIt and prevent me from booting into linux? or is that on the MBR and thus not affected by any change to the OSX partition? [23:58] Okay, using terminal how do I install the lxde desktop....can I? [23:58] or the xubuntu one? [23:59] apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
