[00:00] Thank ye [00:00] coz_ Apologies for the link. It was for my friends on a quite different channel [00:00] Hackana, - http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Ubuntu [00:00] good night. [00:00] tripelb, no problem it happens to all of us :) [00:00] And how can I delete the netbook remix desktop? [00:00] hello ladies and gents [00:00] I want a live-CD that includes the "nonfree" (flash, mp3, dvd's) and xchat.

[00:01] @wolf I dont exactly understand what you want. Access without using a password? [00:01] tripelb: you can make yourself [00:02] I dont know how to. Is it easy? [00:02] synnie: no just the reason why the correct username and password is being denied on ubuntu and not on other win boxes [00:02] my internet provider announce a download speed of 6mbps but im not sure about that as this is a 3g connection. is there a way to test my internet connection speed? [00:02] I have a friend who is running off a liev cd (skip story) and would like those things. [00:02] yotta911, ^^^^ 2 comments [00:02] tripelb, have to install them [00:03] synnie: Is it Windows 7 for the win boxes? I recall there is a setting that must be done to them related to encryption to get them to work with the current samba. [00:03] I have them installed hiexpo but I wanted it all on a liveCD [00:03] tripelb: wait a moment [00:03] tripelb, not gonna happen [00:03] strange. like i said i setup my samba using samba server and share my ubuntu box with other machines, and also access windows shares on [00:03] build your own live cd then [00:03] ennui, that i dont know. when i use to mangle my Virtual Box images, it wouldnt hurt my host box at all. But i dont have MAC [00:04] I dont know how to. Is it easy? hiexpo [00:04] Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version [00:04] default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.22-2-686; make sure that the version is being [00:04] correctly set by --iscurrentdistro [00:04] :))) finelyy my bluutooth is working likea headsett niceeeeeeeeee [00:04] Hello, I'm trying to install 64bit Lucid on 2 WD Velociraptors in RAID0 with 64bit Win7. Installer sees drive(s) but not Win7. Am I out of luck trying to dual boot this? [00:04] tripelb, you would most likely have to "re-create" alive cd with the things you want on it [00:04] SubCool: Thanks for your help :) [00:04] I dont know how to. Is it easy? hiexpo coz_ [00:04] synnie: anything i can do to diagnos it? [00:04] ennui, good luck- there are a few sites that make it VERy easy- i just wasnt comfortable with having to create a boot disc and stupid stuff.. [00:04] my ubuntu box [00:04] tripelb: search at google by remastersys [00:04] antibody: apt-check? [00:04] ennui, np- [00:04] learn linus and google is your friend also [00:04] diagnose* [00:04] tripelb, to be honest I have not done it however it is possible [00:04] how much kbs 6mbps are? [00:04] what did you use to setup samba? [00:04] ^linux [00:04] dludldin: 6000 [00:05] ok I'll check yotta911 coz_ [00:05] synnie: nothing i don't need a samba server [00:05] dludldin, 1 meg = 1000 kbytes [00:05] iceroot : thanks [00:05] dludldin: 6144 [00:05] coz_, not exactly [00:06] hiexpo, no not exactly :) [00:06] coz_: 1024 me tihnks [00:06] SoldOut, no idea [00:06] synnie: i just went to network and double clicked the computer i wanted to access.. i can get onto one machine just fine but the other pops up asking for a user+pass (the one i'm currently on now which i most definitely know the password). I enter it correctly and it reasks [00:06] antibody: just kill it [00:06] I do a " top" and I have this 2199 antibody 39 19 36676 21m 3080 R 94 0.7 765:44.99 apt-check [00:06] 3g connections aren t so accurate are they?

[00:07] kill PID [00:07] dludldin, not sure what you mean [00:08] is there a way to test this crap? [00:08] it is reallly weird [00:08] dludldin, test your connection you mean? [00:08] coz_ : yes [00:08] dludldin, go here http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ [00:08] dludldin: use a speedtester (google) [00:08] /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check [00:08] ok that's the app [00:08] antibody: I dont think apt-check is part of APT [00:08] * NOTE! You are using trial version of Open Sound System * <--isntit open source? so what the hell? [00:09] pie, in a few versions, it was closed source [00:10] pie, but not anymore [00:10] :/ [00:10] pie, http://www.4front-tech.com/oss.html [00:10] antibody: what user is it running under? [00:10] im pretty sure i have the latest version... [00:10] pie, it is or should be open source [00:10] Sorry for so many newb questions but....now that Xubuntu is installed, and I know how to get to the session from log-in screen, how do I delete the gnome based desktops that the remix came with? I've found pages that explain how to add desktops, but none on how to remove lol [00:11] pie, you could go to #oss channel [00:11] my user soldout, not root [00:11] coz_: well anyway ill take a look at that site again, thanks Daekdroom and coz_ [00:11] I can't do dist-upgrade , somehow it calculates de upgrade forever [00:11] normal upgrade works [00:11] pie, also go to #oss just type /join #oss where you type here [00:11] pie, thats just incase you ddnt know that :) === desti_T2 is now known as desti [00:12] running linux on a mac: bad for the CPU? or an old wives' tale? [00:12] Hello, I'm trying to install 64bit Lucid on 2 WD Velociraptors in RAID0 with 64bit Win7 already installed. Ubuntu installer sees drive but not Win7. Am I out of luck trying to dual boot this? [00:12] I have a phone that has a USB data connection. When I plug it into the computer sure enough it sees that it is connected to something and it also chaeges, yet ubuntu does not tell me that it see the phone. What do I need to do to make this mound [00:12] ennui, strange old wives tale [00:12] it seems linked to the update-manager [00:12] wise tale [00:12] there we go I killed both and their dead [00:13] Maybe it was from a time when apple had unique CPUs with their own machine language, but now they just use intel [00:13] coz_ thanks [00:13] Really now apple is just a PC with a apple stamp [00:13] dludldin, no problem [00:13] iceroot thanks [00:13] Hi folks [00:14] LearningToPie, hey guy [00:15] can you suggest some calendar software if i do not feel comfortable with evolution? [00:15] antibody: have you got the package-manager open? [00:15] nailora1, google! [00:15] antibody: if so close it and try this sudo dpkg --clear-avail [00:16] the "real" internet speed is about 1/10 isn't it ? [00:16] kt tnx [00:16] Hackana, you sure do ask a lot of ? > starting to look suspicious [00:17] sometux: ok, did not think about that. but google calendar might indeed be an option [00:17] hey guys, i am trying to start my proftpd server and i get that : Fatal: SystemLog: you are attempting to log to a world writable directory on line 95 of '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf' (what is wrong?) [00:17] dludldin: its only as fast as your slowest link! [00:18] TheAlchem1st: please show us your config [00:18] ok 2 sec [00:20] Q: what is the best Dvd burning software out there? [00:20] for ubuntu? [00:20] Hackana, suspicious = cop or hacker here > cop ok hacker not ok [00:20] Lizzard88: gui or cli? [00:20] why would a cop ask a lot of questions of that type [00:20] Lizzard88: depends on what you want to do. i am perfectly fine with brasero [00:21] or a hacker for that matter [00:21] whats the current ubuntu kernel? [00:21] MagicJ, you'd be suprised to get people to talk [00:21] Lizzard88, I prefer gnomebaker personally [00:21] ah - the old get their confidence routine - thanks hiexpo [00:22] hiexpo: to talk aout what? [00:22] This is my config http://pastebin.com/jzJtyFYf [00:22] how does ubuntu start X, and what configuration file is loaded at that time? [00:23] Sorry for being such a newbie snack, but if my question isn't acknowledged after two attempts should I drop it? [00:23] guys, why can't i use the good olde command "/list" to list rooms here? Using Empathy. [00:23] c3l: I was going to say Xor.conf [00:23] c3l: I was going to say Xorg*.conf [00:23] as opposed to Nand.conf [00:23] cast: you can run "uname -a" to get your kernel. you can search synaptic for a list of available kernels [00:23] ok - when I plug my phone in I get in the dmesg file: lines that I can not seem to paste into here that tell me that the device has been seen is using ohci_hcd and address 3 - et - now how do I see it? [00:24] nailora1: right, my kernel, which is different. [00:24] LearningToPie: probably because empathy isn't a real irc client [00:24] Random832, to say something illegal easy aspect > easy mark = easy case [00:24] SoldOut: its no longer in use. I was thinking about xset and similar configs though [00:24] hiexpo: but it's not even related to anything - shouldn't you think _anyone_ in here is a cop? [00:24] and what if a cop needs help with their ubuntu, geez [00:24] c3l: yeah thought that but wasnt sure [00:25] TheAlchem1st: please run "ls -laR /var/log/proftpd/" [00:25] this is a support channel - there's nothing suspicious about asking questions [00:25] soo, my /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.log is "world writable directory, how can I fix that [00:25] ok [00:25] Random832, nevermind [00:26] c3l: I think if you create an xorg.conf it will be used [00:26] When i drag the files into Brasero, the program freezes [00:27] bnhgnhnghjghgj [00:27] Lizzard88, try replicating the issue by opening brasero from a terminal and posting the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com [00:27] dgsgdhgfo [00:28] iy9pit9mmmmmtyuhygunfygognilhjlilm, [00:28] the output is here http://pastebin.com/iE7UALfP [00:28] juan_, do you have an ubuntu related support question?

[00:28] !anyone | marca311 [00:28] marca311: 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? [00:28] TheAlchem1st: you might want to run "sudo chmod -R o-w /var/log/proftpd/" to remove (at least) write access from that directory and the files within [00:29] SoldOut: true, but the file is on its way to get deprecated iirc, so im looking for the correct file [00:29] marca311, what realtec carm most are supported [00:29] okay i ll try that [00:29] ^card [00:29] did you change them in the past? do you use some strange setup (fat filesystem, ...)? [00:29] c3l: and you can still start X with a custom xorg file if thats what you need [00:29] @hiexpo please repeat that [00:29] Please? [00:29] c3l: ah ok [00:29] !ask | dabowles [00:29] dabowles: 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).

[00:35] @hiexpo the problem itself is that my computer cannot see the card after being in suspend or hibernate [00:35] sever ordesktop? [00:35] @hiexpo personally i think that the problem is ndiswrapper itself [00:36] bazhang, yes, i'm running crossover games 9.1 on ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 [00:36] marca311, ndi is bad [00:36] Favorit, LVM won't run on motherboard Intel "fake raid" ?

[00:37] marca311, what version ubuntu ? [00:37] hi people [00:37] ping_: LVM doesnt care about your fake raid, motherboard, or anything beyond having rw access to a block device [00:37] @hiexpo and the only way i could get it to work in the first place is to use ndiswrapper [00:37] pmjp: hi there [00:37] 10.04 [00:37] When i m connecting to my proftpd server with my "user" account and i arrived in my /home/user but i have no rights and i m stuck there, how can I change my permission for /var/www at least [00:38] decided to check out the irc channel [00:38] pure_hate, - hey mate :) [00:38] pure_hate from backtrack? =) [00:38] cast, Ok thanks [00:38] Hi all,,, Is/When will BtrFS be supported here on U/X/Kubuntu's distros?

[00:48] marca311, sure [00:48] was wondering what would be the best games to get on ubuntu [00:48] !games > pmjp [00:48] pmjp, please see my private message [00:48] @hiexpo www.aircrack-ng.org (you forgot the .org) [00:48] how can I give permission to my user to upload in /var/www by ftp [00:49] pmjp: what game? [00:49] marca311, you figured it out [00:49] Hi, i have my laptop set up to do not ask password when I ssh my desktop. 'ssh mydesktop' works perfectly, but when I try to use ssh with rsync it asks me for my password anyway. What could be happening? [00:50] thanks for everything [00:50] whats a good utility for reduce bass in ubuntu ? [00:50] see ya later [00:50] 10.4 [00:51] TheAlchem1st: the trick is in the unix permissions system and how you set up your FTP server. for example, if you have the ftp server set up normally, i believe that if the user is a member of the www-data group and has write priveleges in that group on /var/www then that user can then sign in and upload stuff. this assumes of course that /var/www is owned by www-data:www-data [00:51] @hiexpo but aircrack-ng is a wireless key cracker [00:51] @hiexpo why have you sent me there? [00:52] TheAlchem1st: then there are other FTP server settings associated with *what* their home directories are per user, etc... etc... to include whether or not they even have upload permission in the first place. for example, you can set a FTP server to never allow upload no matter what, even if the directory has 777 permissions [00:52] marca311, - true but good drivers for wireless cards etc [00:52] Is there a utility for reduce bass in ubuntu 10.l4 ? [00:52] @hiexpo ah [00:52] @hiexpo i will try thenb [00:52] @hiexpo then [00:52] TheAlchem1st: just keep in mind that anything you allow users to do in /var/www will compromise the integrity of /var/www running on the webserver. usually, the permissions on /var/www are kept strict for a reason. [00:53] !best > mint [00:53] mint, please see my private message [00:53] @hiexpo i have also aquired the drivers from a location on the system76 site [00:53] @hiexpo i will try those also [00:53] hello, i am trying to boot my hp dv6 from a flash drive, this works on all my systems except this one laptop in particular, the problem is that i get no display, after choosing default from the boot menu, it goes a bit, then i hear sound, but my screen goes blank, what should i do? thanks in advance [00:54] randy_, i have proftpd, i can upload in my home but i cannpot lsit the root of everything . Its the default config. [00:54] thank you ill re read you [00:55] TheAlchem1st: its common for FTP servers to jail you in your 'home' directory per server settings. you usually don't want FTP users to be able to see above their /home// but this can be changed of course in the ProFTPd settings [00:55] marca311, get a grip i will not send you to a place that is not useful to you ok [00:55] TheAlchem1st: a quick and dirty fix could be to simply symlink /var/www to /home// so they stay in their jail but can browse /var/www (mileage may vary depending on how strict ProFTPd is...) [00:56] randy_, thank you, so i must check in the conf? [00:56] marca311, system76 never heard of it [00:56] @hiexpo sorry [00:56] i ll try that. [00:56] @hiexpo google it [00:56] TheAlchem1st: yeah, you're gonna have to do some research, proFTPd is powerful (thus, complicated) but it *can* do what you want. you should read some of the fantastic (and long winded) manuals on ProFTPd [00:56] @hiexpo all their computer come pre-installed with ubuntu [00:56] Is there a utility for reduce bass in ubuntu 10.4 ? [00:57] how do i make my "3 window buttons" on the rights side of the window again? [00:57] randy_. thanks i ll read about that. =) [00:57] Is anybody here good with rsync? [00:57] marca311, softpedia sourceforge [00:57] !controls > shzlnzl [00:57] shzlnzl, please see my private message [00:58] ? isent there a net install for 10.04 [00:58] TheAlchem1st: you should also google on how to set up a domain hosting type server with proFTPd, its common for ISP's to offer domain services with an upload feature. the upload, of course, ends up in the user's appropriate /var/www directory ... [00:58] TheAlchem1st: all of it is done with FTP, so what you want to do has most definitely been done before, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding some helpful information [00:59] TheAlchem1st: I just hope I managed to push you in the right direction to an answer ;) [00:59] hello everyone i my screen flickers alot when using my laptop it is becoming a little embarrassing when trying to work anyway i dont know if anyone is experience this issue [00:59] dell 1440 === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [01:00] randy_, are you talking about dyndns and stuff like that? because i m using it for my domain.

Will they possible conflict, or due to the whole Ubuntu sleeps processes its not using, will it be okay? Also am I right in assuming Ubuntu is sorta the equivalent of DOS, and the desktop environment is sorta just a way to graphically represent it? Or something like that.....of... [01:05] ...course its more complicated than DOS, but the desktop is just a GUI?

I had a wireless problem on the netbook, but a simple backport fixed it. [01:12] SoldOut: And I just upgraded from 9.04 to 10.04 yesterday. [01:12] xhane: sure but is the card up? [01:12] Alan502: if you don't need the command line, try grsync, it is just a gui frontend for rsync [01:12] shurathing: I'm using an Optima computer [01:12] we forget how to make wifi work > someday get smarter [01:13] Oh yes, wireless - seemingly the bane of all ubuntu netbooks :P [01:13] :) [01:13] i am failing to get jack to run.

Need to have Internet to do so, plug in a wire for that and run Update Manager at least once and check for updates before running Hardware Drivers. [01:17] c3l, [01:17] xhane: wrong one...

[01:24] here is my error i get when trying to compile 1 [01:24] http://pastebin.com/c5Va7nSY [01:24] xhane: you need a ethernet cable to go from your Internet source to the ethernet plug on your Ubuntu laptop. To get the software from the internet to get the wireless working. Then you don't need the wire anymore. [01:25] hotfloppy: Like I told shurathing before, I don't have a wired connection, meaning, I don't have Broadband [01:25] xhane: setup this computer you're using to "share internet" connect your ubuntu one to it and make updates and see if you can fix your wireless then you can undo the share connection [01:25] anyone know why I can't connect via Putty to my ssh Mac at home? I'm at Starbucks trying it out for the first time. [01:25] shurathing: I'll try that. [01:25] shurathing: Using Putty?

[01:27] xhane: if your computer has ethernet, you should be able to connect it to the router and in the wired prefs enter the account info to access the net. [01:27] shurathing: I [01:27] im trying to do a shell IF then IF $varaible Contains Text 10 Then [01:27] headkase314: didn't think of that. So I'd have to set putty to use some other port other than 22? [01:27] its actaully an IP address [01:27] that starts with 10. [01:28] shurathing: I'm connected to a Mobile Broadband, I don't have a Broadband using a wired modem [01:28] shurathing: I don't know what to do, maybe *if* that is the issue someone can help you route around it? [01:28] headkase314: kk... I'll keep that in mind when looking for answers.. Thanks [01:29] shurathing: You're welcome ;) [01:29] i just installed 32 bit lucid lynx on an Asus UL80J . it has 4 gigs of memory , windows sees 4 gigs . ubuntu only sees 2.7 gigs. what am i doing wrong ? [01:29] xhane: mobile broadband... you mean wireless as in cell phone? [01:30] shurathing: You know those new USB Mobile Broadband? [01:30] xhane: no [01:30] Where it uses a modem in the form of a USB [01:30] Hmm === tokeefe is now known as rmrfslash [01:30] Wait [01:30] xhane: You need Internet access somehow on the Ubuntu machine. Do you have a home router you can plug a cable into? When you say "mobile broadband" what kind of connection is that? For the family computer you're using right now, is it connected with an ethernet cord? One you could unplug from it and plug into your laptop for the temporary step to get your wireless drivers? [01:31] xhane: Ok, I see USB. I don't know how to approach that, sorry. [01:31] headkase314 and shurathing: http://www.google.com.au/images?rlz=1C1_____enAU336AU336&q=USB%20Mobile%20Broadband&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=707 [01:31] has anyone got a clue how to supress the auth popup in ubuntu 10.04? [01:32] headkase314: I have a modem router, could I set up a connection on this computer that can utilise my Mobile Broadband connection to use on the Ubuntu to get the required files? [01:32] xhane: that uses cell towers? [01:32] shurathing: Yes it does [01:32] I works like a Mobile Phone [01:32] iBallbag: you mean the log in screen? [01:32] It works like a Mobile Phone* [01:32] xhane: If the modem router has ethernet ports on the back of it then you just need an ethernet cable. Keep fingers-crossed while you check. [01:32] xhane: dude... sorry. I really didn't know that and I know nothing of that hardware [01:33] headkase314: no... he connects to the cell towers with a dongle usb thing. [01:33] no shurathing, the auth popup like when you install an app in synaptic [01:33] iBallbag: you mean you don't want confermation screens when installing? [01:34] correct [01:34] non whatsoever [01:34] xhane: Looks like you need to take the laptop somewhere where you can get an ethernet cable. A local library or school may cooperate. Once you do that, hit update manager and check for updates at least once then run Hardware Drivers and hopefully your wireless drivers will be there and you just need to click activate. Then you don't need any more cables, you're wireless from there. [01:34] yakub, research PAE kernel (32bit with extended memory support) [01:35] headkase314: Couldn't I just set up a This Laptop -> Router -> My Laptop kind of connection? [01:36] xhane: If the router only offers a USB connection or wireless then neither is really suitable. You need drivers for both, it is a chicken-and-egg problem: you need Interet to get the drivers for wireless internet. [01:36] iBallbag: sorry... I don't know a way around that === moayad_ is now known as moayad [01:37] xhane: dude.. good luck in getting your drivers. I gotta head out. [01:37] ok thankyou shurathing. it looks like i may be stuck with it...

[01:37] shurathing: Thank you for attempting to help me! :) [01:37] headkase314: I checked the net and starbucks DOES block port 22... thanks for the info. Heading home to fix that. :) [01:37] xhane: Ok, can you plug your laptop into the d-link for Internet? [01:38] No [01:38] i cant find anything anywhere either. i thought it was me being blind [01:38] shurathing: At least you know what it is! [01:38] headkase314: I don't have a broadband connection [01:38] That uses modems [01:39] xhane: you need to get Internet to the ethernet plug on your Ubuntu laptop. Once you have that then it should be easy from there. [01:39] hit there [01:39] hi there [01:39] xhane: set this computer to share internet and connect the ubuntu pc to this one [01:39] MaRk-I: I'm trying right now, thank you === tremmons is now known as iflema [01:40] hi all.

[02:05] that is beyond me [02:05] mathk, to be safe [02:05] essial: how much free space on the partition that contains / [02:05] is there a lighter version of the livedisk...im using an ancient machine and for the life of me can't free up enough space to download the liveusb [02:05] hoober: what do you mean by safe ? [02:05] Ubuntu is stable place for the development i want to do [02:05] it LOOKS like its simply not updating [02:05] (can't get ubuntu running, won't mount it for some reason...so i need something that will allow me to sudo-apt and what not) [02:05] I dropped 400gb worth of old backups [02:05] hi [02:06] hoober: for Windows 7 drivers you need a 7 environment to run them in. You also need to disable driver signatures as those are enforced by Windows 7. If you want to learn 7 drivers, ubuntu is not the operating system for you. A virtual machine would be one way to go about it but virtual machines typically only emulate a 32 bit environment. Short answer: Ubuntu is not suitable for Windows 7 64-bit driver develop [02:06] happened after i updated [02:06] jasonwryan the install just says that it fails, doesn't give a reason, and then it locks up; its stopped at 70% and 10%; I already checked the disk for errors [02:06] smackmanic, lubuntu? gnome/ubuntu live cd is a bit less than 700MB [02:06] hello everyone [02:06] how i can install .tar.gz file in ubuntu? [02:06] anyone in here able to navigate their iphone well in ubuntu? [02:06] smackmanic, or you could get the 12MB minimal iso and build from there [02:06] esfahankids, what kind of program is it?

[02:07] !minimal > smackmanic [02:07] smackmanic, please see my private message [02:07] or does disk usage = percent of disk data on a particular path [02:07] bazhang: i can sudo apt and what not with the min? [02:07] okay [02:07] tahnks [02:07] smackmanic, yep of course [02:07] like if 90% of my data storage files are in ~/mp3 would it show ~/mp3 at 90% usage? [02:07] doesn't this article sound like pure propaganda to you: http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/202177/warning_five_things_to_know_before_switching_to_linux.html?tk=hp_new [02:08] !ot | gafir [02:08] gafir: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:08] essial: use 'df' to determine how much space is left for each partition [02:08] jasonwryan raid went fine, seemed really fast though (like it isn't really formatting) I had 9.04 on her before, but the upgrade to 9.10 borked the whole system. Erased everything on drives to start over from scrach, and figured might as well use 10.04 [02:08] th0r: sudo df / says 2% used [02:08] bazhang: one more question....i can follow the instructions to boot it from a usb device instead of a cd ? or is the .iso specifically designed for cds.. [02:09] anyone help with iphone support? [02:09] essial: is that the only partition you have? [02:09] bazhang: thx [02:09] so i think gnome just restarted and im like wtf...and now my screen resolution is smaller... [02:09] smackmanic, the lubuntu iso? try unetbootin to write to flash key [02:09] nibsa1242: I'm afraid all I've got is dwonload & burn a new disk... [02:09] !details | brady [02:09] brady: 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 ..." [02:09] e_e [02:09] im on ubuntu 9.10 [02:09] th0r: I have three disks, one mounted at /, and two maounted at /storage/disk# [02:09] and this has happened before, without the resolution problem [02:10] jasonwryan: I'm trying that now. Stupid laptop won't burn slower than 10x. If this cd doesn't work I'll try buring the image onto a DVD [02:10] sorry bazhang let me look that up...i haven't slept in a couple days [02:10] Well running ubuntu 10.04, iphone 3gs. I was wanting to know if there was any solution for syncing contacts and calender from email program [02:10] !iphone [02:10] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [02:10] th0r: disk0 says 3% and disk1 says 63% which makes a LOT more sense [02:10] and also all my programs closed, whick is probably because gnome restarted [02:10] smackmanic, you running ubuntu now? or windows [02:10] what is telling you 100% usage? [02:10] so WTH is disk usage showing, pure usage [02:10] nibsa1242: The other thing you can try is to switch to TTY4 when it fails to read the error [02:10] Disk usage -- hence my question, is taht total usage or relative usage [02:10] back sorry i made a tuna-egg sandwhich [02:10] smackmanic, unetbootin is in the repos, for windows its at unetbootin.sourceforge.net [02:10] and i really need to get this fixed ASAP :( [02:11] hoober, that is gross [02:11] I was getting out of space errors and dumped about a year's worth of backups, I believe that fixed the problem, it's just that 100% on / looks scary in DUA [02:11] jasonwryan: that would be (some key + f4)? [02:11] essial: what 'disk usage'? are you using the 'du' command? or getting this from some gnome app? [02:11] bazhang: im in the windows partition, it drops me straight to busybox when i allow ubuntu to attempt to start up [02:11] after a reboot, the network manager applet is missing from my tray. how can i make it come back? [02:11] the Disk Usage Analyzer app [02:11] du's output makes sense [02:11] nibsa1242: Ctrl-Alt-F4 [02:11] bazhang: okay unet is the tool that will make that min iso work on the usb [02:11] jasonwryan: thanks, I'll take a look at it [02:11] if I understand correctly now [02:11] hoober: you can use a VM for what you call safety [02:11] is it better to make a liveCD of something or to install to it.. what i mean is ... like for Ubuntu.. is it better to like do a normal install and just choose my flash drive as the "disk" or do i need to make a live cd.. whats the pros/ cons of htis? [02:11] I am having a problem with wget, ubuntu 10.4 lamp 32 bit, Wget is an unknown command. Im quite the n00b at linux so go easy on me :-) [02:11] this is sad [02:12] I REALLY REAlly wanted to use a Ubuntu to App to do this work [02:12] nibsa1242: if it doesn't show in 4, check 2-6 as well (it's been a while since I did an install) [02:12] someone please help me out :( [02:12] smackmanic, minimal iso? never known it to do that, I was referring to lubuntu iso minimal still requires a cd to boot afaik [02:12] essial: that is probably a problem with the app. I don't use gnome so I can't help with that. If 'df' shows enough space I wouldn't worry about it [02:12] AH geese [02:12] hoober, I use VBox to run other OSes when I need to get something done [02:12] th0r: yeah apparently "usage" is relative in DUA [02:12] pie, what's the issue? [02:12] and du looks exactly as I expected [02:13] th0r: thanks, you made a sysadmin happy :) [02:13] bazhang: ouch...you're saying I can't use a usb device to....basically sudo apt grub...or figure out whats going on with my OS [02:13] jasonwryan: ok, thanks; I hate installing, but my experience is that an upgrade has a 50% chance of borking the whole system... and normally I find it easier to just reinstall than rescue the upgrade [02:13] that's what i get for looking at GUI tools FOR ONCe [02:13] I have Virtual Box, and my Ubuntu is in the Virtual Box. Can i develop in masm32 and make windows 7 drivers in it [02:13] I'll just stick to ssh :p [02:13] GeneralSaint: aptitude search wget [02:13] smackmanic, why not fix your current situation instead of reinstalling a new system [02:13] hi...I'm trying to configure lamp in Ubuntu 10.04 and I'm not sure the packages installed right [02:13] bazhang: i'm not trying to reinstall the OS [02:13] nibsa1242: I've had good experiences upgrading my Raid1 setup (aprt from KMS) [02:13] bazhang: just trying to figure out what the h is up with it. heh [02:14] hoober: you may do the other way round [02:14] smackmanic, checked in grub menu? hold shift at boot [02:14] googled all night...people are having the same or similar prob...but i can't find a proper solution heh [02:14] extraclassic: uh... sudo tasksel install lamp-server [02:14] ubuntu hosting a windows [02:14] done [02:14] but i have Windows 7 as a host OS. I don't see why doing it the other way around is helpful [02:14] * essial huggles ubuntu [02:14] mathk, aptitude command not found :o [02:15] jasonwryan: its not just this system... I have about a 50% chance of upgrade killing any system (home file server, personal laptop, other half's lappy, dual boot gaming box) [02:15] hoober, why do you need asm to develop a device driver? [02:15] cnf wget oh wait :) [02:15] I was trying to get php to work with mysql and the mysql_connect() wasn't working....I edited my php.ini file and it still won't work [02:15] hi, what is the difference between storing and sync'ing a file/folder on UbuntuOne? [02:15] hoober, you can do anything you want within the vbox, but the vbox doesn't work the same with your hardware when it comes to drivers [02:15] !ubuntuone | Mahjongg [02:15] hoober: Linux is multi-arch [02:15] Mahjongg: Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ support and help available at #ubuntuone [02:15] GeneralSaint: apt-cache search wget [02:15] hi all [02:15] someone said that my mysql.so file was in the wrong place [02:15] nibsa1242: Man, that is some risk profile you are carrying there :) [02:15] hoober: writing it in assembler is kinda... a bad idea [02:15] Ok All I want is to know where to download the Windows 7 64 bit Driver dev kit, within the Ubuntu Software Center. And possibly how to find a MASM32 dev kit in the software center [02:15] hoober, no [02:15] ............ [02:16] Oh apt did work, thanks ! [02:16] hoober: what are you talkinga bout [02:16] I need to mess with some network settings on 10.04 LTS - In the Network Applet i don't see anywhere to change the broadcast address of an interface? [02:16] hoober: Why would Linux have a Windows driver dev kit, that makes absolutely no sense [02:16] nibsa1242: wow. considered an OS with a safer upgrade mechanism? [02:16] hoober, ##windows for developing windows drivers NOT here [02:16] hoober, there is a search function in USC [02:16] extraclassic: i was wrong [02:16] Essial, because developing on ubuntu for windows is different thant developing on windows for windows [02:16] hoober, please stop [02:16] hoober: well good luck with that [02:16] i am trying to listen === jackson is now known as Guest98919 [02:16] should i contact support? [02:17] not really hoober, have you ever written device drivers? [02:17] hoober, developing windows drivers has nothing to do with ubuntu [02:17] I mean real device drivers, not serial port or parallel port stuff [02:17] cast: I have, but other half likes Ubuntu, and doesn't want anything else on her lappy. So, if I migrate to something else on the other machines then I have to know both Ubuntu and the other distro. [02:17] hoober, we understand you want to turn windows drivers into linux compatible drivers [02:17] essial, i actually haven't written a device driver ever, this is why i want to try. but safe under Ubuntu [02:17] hoober: what you're asking makes NO sense [02:17] What's new? [02:17] hoober: You are failing at some VERY basic concepts here [02:17] !ot > hoober [02:17] hoober, please see my private message [02:17] quit [02:17] it is just not something that many people do, so finding help with it is a bit harder [02:17] cast: jasonwryan so instead, I just partition /home out by itself and back everything up... and only upgrade when I have a spare weekend [02:17] hoober: drivers are intrisicly tied to the OS [02:18] hoober: why do you think XP drivers for WINDOWS doesn't work with vista drivers for WINDOWS [02:18] can't i just drag and drop them into shared folder for testing on windwos 7 [02:18] nibsa1242: maybe lvm snapshots would help you [02:18] * essial facepalms [02:18] * essial gives up [02:18] eeek [02:18] cast: I know practically nothing about lvm, other then I'm going to try it out with this new install. [02:18] hoober: again what do you mean by safe, think of it twice before answer [02:18] hello all, I would like to know if anyone could direct me somewhere I could find some information (a website, A book, whatever) on how to customize my desktop [02:18] hoober: the development environment needs to match the target. You will not find Ubuntu tools that target Windows 7. Google some Windows tools and you'll find plenty. [02:18] nibsa1242: Installing all the other stuff sucks though... (at least it does on my bandwidth) [02:19] mathk, hoober's gone [02:19] brb [02:19] uRock: right :) thanks bazhang [02:19] hello all, I would like to know if anyone could direct me somewhere I could find some information (a website, A book, whatever) on how to customize my desktop, preferably Gnome and XFCE [02:20] !themes > strats [02:20] strats, please see my private message [02:20] nibsa1242: learning, it's fun! [02:20] jasonwryan: yes, it does suck... which is why I use the spare weekend, incase I just need to rescue the install - which is very fun & educational the first time, and very annoying after that [02:20] bazhang, I like the use of ">" I didn't know ubottu does that [02:21] uRock, its very handy to avoid flooding the channel === jdobrien_ is now known as webm0nk3y [02:21] !help > mathk [02:21] mathk, please see my private message [02:21] guys - can i set up like, a broadcast address int eh network applet in 10.04 [02:21] help [02:21] you can also /msg ubottu factoid for more [02:22] for any of my interfaces.. i dont see it === Damn3d is now known as damn3d [02:22] I'll give it a try [02:23] hi [02:24] I have an ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64 server install in a vm, and I don't have ubuntu desktop installed (and I don't want it)... I use an external X server for my GUI applications, but I can't get my clearlooks theme to work on them. However, if in the VM i run "gnome-appearance-properties", as soon as that window opens, all my external X windows immediately start to use clearlooks and remain using it until I reboot... any idea what [02:24] KwikkSilva: isn't that the netmask and your ip adresse gave you the broadcast [02:24] hey #ubuntu, i downloaded the latest version of ubuntu and burned it on a cd. i haven't installed it yet. i want to install linux mint instead. is it possible to isntall ubuntu and then install to mint, or should i just download mint and install it fresh? [02:24] I am having trouble installing kubuntu on my IBM 5120. It's a bit dated but it's a solid system. [02:25] Shmitty how much ram does it have [02:25] KwikkSilva: you shouldn't have to set it up [02:25] essial: 320 [02:25] hmm - not sure - i'm trying to follow a guide on arp setup and it asks me to give some pretty wierd BC address to my cards [02:25] essial: thats 320k [02:25] madamps you could do it but is it worth time and effort?

Need to know a good port to ssh through. 22 is blocked by Starbucks and I don't want to be screwed when I'm overseas. [02:27] essial: this is a joke............... [02:27] nibsa1242: depends on the filesystem, ext3 is very slow [02:27] xhane: you'll probably have to reboot because there will be a kernel update in there. Once you do come back to this channel. [02:27] schmitty you should five a try to minix [02:27] cast: I'm doing ext4... === nathan is now known as brummbaer [02:29] w1n5ton: why not ssh? [02:29] how can i make my Ubuntu setup script -without it ask "Continue ? y / n :" ? www.furtano.de/scripts/installscript_ubuntu_2010.sh [02:29] cast: jasonwryan it is just sitting at 33%, but at least it seems to be doing something this time; last time it said the partition formatted in about 30 seconds, and then it went on with the install. I actually hear my hard drive doing something. [02:29] How do I set it up so it will be accessible under Network? [02:30] cast: I take that back; the install in now continuing. So according to the installer it must be done... because it is just continuing on [02:30] Zy looked close but tried the solution there and not working for me. When I run the mii command to force the speed I get error. Invalid argument.

[02:32] scratched* [02:32] cast: Thank you... I'll check those out [02:32] I just bought a new laptop, a Zenith MiniSport for 3 grand, I was told it was cutting edge technology, I need someone to help me install ubuntu on it [02:32] BentFranklin: no, it is not old fashioned. I say do it. I've had issued with a bloated var causing a no boot. You may also want /boot on its own issue. [02:32] mbeierl: they wont see ssl traffic.

[02:38] !clone > tohuw [02:38] Tohuw, please see my private message [02:38] anyone knows a nice, simple applet for gnome doing cpu utilization, network bandwith, logged user etc..? [02:39] Thanks, bazhang and nibsa. Now, is the default filesystem ext4 what I want for all my partitions (except swap)? And to I have to make swap myself since I'm going manually? [02:39] Furtano: sudo apt-get -y install [02:39] help getting my sound working again [02:39] Jordan_U, ty great [02:39] !autorun [02:39] Furtano: You're welcome. [02:40] (Repeating because almost surely someone should know this and I'm assuming it was overlooked) I want to add a program to start when the system boots on an ubuntu 10.04 _server_ install, where would be most appropriate to add it? [02:40] I half expect there's a !bla for this already. [02:40] strats: look at the default installed applet there is one for monitoring [02:40] BentFranklin: I'm not qualified to answer that question -- I'm using all ext4 on one machine, and ext 3 on my dual boot box ; bazhang? [02:40] headkase314: Nothing shows up in Hardware Drivers [02:40] Abaratican: you're talking about adding something to the install cd? [02:40] aba === sander__ is now known as Snadder [02:41] Abaratican: dpends on what the program is doing. theres always /etc/rc.local [02:41] strats: can't remember the exact name since I am not on an ubuntu right now [02:41] installed and configured my ssh server and i want to see if I can connect to it from the internet , can I simulate it if I ssh to another box then ssh to current one? [02:41] Abaratican, check man cron and crontab [02:41] BentFranklin, sure ext4 [02:41] Xaifas: yes. :) [02:41] Dr_Willis: i'm not running X, but i want gnome-settings-daemon to autostart (so my external X windows have themes) [02:41] Abaratican: if it's just a start on boot, then Dr_Willis' suggestion of rc.local is probably the best [02:41] xhane: I'm at a loss without that. Recap your situation so everyone else here in the channel knows where you are: basically, have Internet access through wired connection and need help getting wireless driver. [02:41] after a reboot, the network manager applet is missing from my tray. how can i make it come back? [02:41] xhane: And mention it's not in Hardware Drivers. [02:42] well I tried, and it kinda gives no answer no error and not asking for pass to connect either [02:42] any suggestion Dr_Willis ? [02:42] xhane what wireless card do you have? [02:42] mbeierl: i was thinking there was some init/runlevel thing but i can't recall... rc.local works too I suppose. [02:42] Xaifas: try the ssh -v or -vv or -vvv option to get verbose output and messages. and check the server logs. [02:42] k sec [02:43] mathk I know the app in the system but I want it on my desktop at all time [02:43] whoa, random reboot during install wth [02:43] I'm currently using a Mobile Broadband to connect to the internet, but I have trouble connecting wireless connections, let alone detect them. [02:44] mathk I want something similar to what !#crunchbang 9.04 use [02:44] Abaratican: not sure about the gnome-settings-daemon running without having a DISPLAY set, though. It seems an odd problem in this case for rc.local - which runs as root, not your user [02:44] debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config [02:44] debug1: Connecting to 89.123.41.5 [89.123.41.5] port 2502.

[02:44] bazhang: i found a thread with my exact problem..i need to edit what grub is booting..apparently it's a common bug...umm..i edited it to /dev/sda1, that didnt work, then tried sda2. i'm doing something wrong...would you mind if i sent you the link or /msg you the supposed solution [02:44] hmm got a connection timeout this time [02:44] if I can get it to boot..then I can fsck [02:44] whois strats [02:45] possible I failed configuring the server or what could be the prob Dr_Willis ? daemon is on, port is opened, and listens dont know what im doing wrong [02:45] perhaps the ( )'s shouldn't be used... maybe just root=sda1 or root=sda2 ? [02:45] because the ones I tried already the ('s...so i wrote inside of them... [02:46] strats is hammer [02:46] =/ [02:46] wedwo no kidding :P [02:46] hi all, the Amarok collection, is that an actual folder on the computer? is it possible to add files to the amarok collection while leaving their location in the same spot? also, why is trying to change the naming convention for the collections so SLOW? === masen is now known as masen_away [02:48] test [02:49] it works [02:49] if I'm having trouble installing onto a software raid 1 situation, is it possible just to install to one drive and make it a raid 1 later, or is that complex and annoying [02:49] Just got silent [02:49] Xaifas: all you can do is check the logs and the 'verbose' output from ssh and see whast its saying. [02:49] can someone help me with my Kenbak-1 system? [02:50] oh no...im reading the grub page .... it says if its not ran as root it will produce bogus error msgs saying the device does not exist [02:50] this is getting crazy [02:51] ssh localhost seems to work but not from another box [02:51] bleh [02:51] smackmanic: what are you doing exactly? === KindTwo46 is now known as KindOne [02:51] smackmanic: because from what ive seen you mention. you may be doing some things funamentally wrong. :) [02:51] Dr_Willis: apparently i caught the update bug heh.....updated to the latest ver of ubuntu..rebooted..it wont mount it, it gives me list of errors and sends me to busybox [02:51] headkase314: nibsa1242: still no go with the dvd. It's got to be some problem with dvd. I can only assume there's a problem booting off cd with that pc. I did boot the xp install disk though, so I'm at a loss... thanks anyway [02:51] Dr_Willis: I agree... [02:52] Can someone help with a Partition question? [02:52] the biggest problem is that I cannot use a livecd or liveusb...so I'm hoping I can edit grub and then fsck and what not to fix it [02:52] critt, please ask a question [02:52] mbeierl: you can try a usb install [02:52] smackmanic: normally grub installs to the MBR of the hard drive. But youa re setting the 'root' option? thats normally done via the UUID of teh fiklesystem not the sda/sdb1 type nameing [02:52] I have 2 Partitions. Kubuntu and Ubuntu. Kubuntu is set to boot first . Can I delete Kubuntu Part without screwing up My Ubuntu Part? [02:52] mbeierl: or you can try a network install (I think Ubuntu supports that) [02:52] critt: it depends on which os is contriolling grub. [02:52] Dr_Willis....uhhh.....im actually pretty sure im not root when i edit [02:52] critt, why not just install kubuntu-desktop with ubuntu? === spiros is now known as spyrosebastos [02:53] Kubuntu is right now [02:53] smackmanic: you have to be root when altering system files.. thats a given [02:53] Dr_Willis: would it be okay if I sent you a link...or the cliffnote of the solution heh [02:53] critt, or ubuntu-desktop with kubuntu [02:53] DIdnt know I could [02:53] critt: you may need to reinstall grub then. You COULD boot to ubuntu now, and update-grub and in theory the UBUNTU os will be the one contriolling grub. then you can delete the kubuntu partitions [02:53] smackmanic: im going to work in 3 min... [02:53] Dr_Willis: this grubhowto page says if its not run as root i will get bogus error msgs...so idk. [02:53] Dr_Willis...ouch [02:53] Can anyone explain why sometimes my external hard drive mounts on diffrent points? [02:54] critt, sure, lubuntu-desktop , edubuntu-desktop, ubuntustudio-desktop etc [02:54] smackmanic: you need to run system type tools as root.. thats pretty fundamental. [02:54] Im in Ubuntu now [02:54] critt: you could also hand configure grub, but its been a while since I've done that [02:54] Dr_Willis: the problem is i can't even sudo in busybox... [02:54] Some times its /dev/sdf1 others its sdb1 [02:54] smackmanic: in busybox you are allready root i imagine. but busybox is not the normal ubuntu installed system.. [02:54] critt, then just choose which desktop from login window [02:54] I tried to open grub but page was blank [02:55] Dr_Willis....hahaha I know... [02:55] "root=/dev/sdXX somehow all this got messed up in the update." [02:55] critt, its grub2 now [02:55] that's partially from the solution post [02:55] !grub2 | critt [02:55] critt: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [02:56] Well I did resize the partitions with Qpart to reclaim my space. BUt was just wondering if I could delete it all together [02:56] critt: lol ive always been to scared to resize...my HD is failing...dont think it'd take it [02:58] im going to restart and try it again.... [02:58] if i compile vanilla kernel according to my hardware, this improves performance? [02:58] brb (HOPEFULLY) [02:58] Have 500 gig. Had it split down the middle. My mistake . I just wanted to test out Kubuntu. Noob to the core LOL [02:58] cvnmk: probably not [02:58] I know this is kinda heresy, but if I can't get this software raid-1 server install to work should I try (1) another distro or (2) is it easy to just install to one disk and raid it to the second disk later? [02:58] rww: why not? i will remove junky modules [02:59] cvnmk: probably not enough to see a difference, but it can be fun to do [02:59] cvnmk: because modules aren't loaded unless they're used, and the majority of startup time isn't spent on the kernal. [02:59] kernel ** [03:00] if you have a boot time of 10 seconds and 1 second is the kernel, there's not much point in optimizing the 1 s :\ [03:01] rww: i thought it provides disk speed [03:02] i solved the auth popup while doing anything problem === dave is now known as Guest72230 [03:03] silly policykit causes it [03:04] I'm having problems with updates.

[03:11] mbeierl: its ok, it really just depends on the bios and what the manufacturer thought you'd do with the machine [03:11] hello all i have installed ubuntu 10.04, with agp 9600se ati card (r350) connected via dvi2hdmi, the card is supported for proprietary fglrx, however, im getting an issue with the installation procedure, http://pastebin.com/d2Lhjvna is there a fix for it ? [03:11] Gnea, i don't have it... as my system is not at all detecting my adapter in other lastest kernel... [03:11] hasen: Yes. [03:11] iBallbag: now it appears to work but it said low graphics is only for one session, oh and also i ran sudo dpkg-reocnfigure xserver-xorg (i found it in a forum) but that didnt appear to help either [03:11] hasen: likely, but you'd be better off getting one with a geforce in it [03:11] hasen: which ati card? [03:11] hasen: There are open-source ones [03:11] iBallbag: so yeah thats pretty much it [03:11] iBallbag: what really pisses me off though is that it closed all the stuff i was working on / [03:11] pie, remove all the fancy effects on the desktop. i had a similar issue earlier [03:11] as well as a proprietary one with acceleration and all that [03:11] Tao: should either be in System->Admin->Software-Sources [Tab Other Software] or you could remove appropriate files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory.

[03:12] R350: I don't think that card is going to work for you under fglrx, I know my x800 (which is newer) doesn't because support for older cards were removed from fglrx a few years ago [03:12] Tao: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list [03:12] like reflection etc [03:13] iBallbag: i never touched any of those so i dont really know what i have to do =/ [03:13] DasEi: Alright, done [03:13] Tao: give resulting url here, so we can have a look [03:14] Ugh- hard lock during install second time it has locked at 10% configuring language-pack-en-base (and this is a second disk, burned slow, verfied by burner and install program) [03:14] http://pastebin.com/rpPifLyj [03:14] pie do you have compiz installed?

[03:16] Tao: yes; I also can't find the ppa in there [03:16] hi all...!! i am using a USB ethernet interface for wired connection as my ethernet port is gone... my system was detecting my USB-ethernet adapter automatically in my linux-image 2.6.32-22 but later on due to image kernel upgrades to 2.6.32-23 and latest (2.6.32-24) .. these lastest upgrades are not supporting my USB-ethernet adapters.. please help me out.. i am using the adapter in 2.6.32-22 bcz in this version its supporting... my adpater uses a D [03:16] avicom DM9601 driver.... problem might be that ubuntu removed the support for that driver in its latest kernels.. can any one help me with the solution.. thanx [03:16] DasEi: Thats whats confusing me [03:17] hasen: my laptop uses intel's i915 which is just fine [03:17] nibsa1242: does this include all other distros as well ? [03:17] Tao: did you dist-upgrade this system ? [03:17] Tao: it's a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory [03:19] R350: I think it was an xserver change, in addition the flgrx change. My understanding is that you'd have to use an old distro, with an old kernel, and an old fglrx. Change happened a few years ago. You are just better off upgrading to a more modern card.

[03:23] oh [03:23] /boot is where the kernel and grub stuff end up [03:23] BentFranklin, 250MB tops [03:24] it usually remains fixed in size [03:24] well, depending on how many kernels you keep [03:24] BentFranklin: only 20GB for / ?

[03:28] madamps, join the mint support channel as its not supported here [03:28] !mintsupport | madamps [03:28] madamps: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [03:28] Thanks to all, here's my new plan: swap: 4 GB, /: 100 GB, /boot: 1GB, /var: 295 GB, /home:600 GB [03:28] bazhang: thanks :) [03:28] bazhang: still struggling lol [03:28] that'd be more realistic [03:29] aw bazhang - it's empty. do you guys have any advice> [03:29] madamps, its on a different network [03:29] pie click applications>ubuntu software centre [03:29] though unless you're really serious about webhosting you're not going to use 295 GB on /var [03:29] bazhang do you know the name? [03:29] top left [03:29] madamps: the mint channel is not on this network [03:29] BentFranklin: why 100 GB for boot? [03:30] madamps, irc.spotchat.org [03:30] i'm kind of irc-retarded. we are on freenode, right? [03:30] bazhang: any suggestions? === Annie_ is now known as Annie [03:30] DasEi: I fixed it! [03:30] madamps, yah [03:30] Another question: this is my second install. On the first I let it use the whole disk for one partition. Is there some sort of partition magic to repartion at this point? [03:30] hi everybody! [03:30] !yay|Tao [03:30] Tao: Glad you made it! :-) [03:30] furythor: It's 1GB now. [03:30] madamps: /server irc.spotchat.org then join #linuxmint-help [03:30] BentFranklin, 2 to 4 GB for swap, 250MB for /boot much more for / [03:31] Bent... it would be possible to resize partitions by the Disk Utility in ubuntu [03:31] 100 GB for / is reasonable [03:31] IdleOne - exactly what i wanted. thakns [03:31] BentFranklin: what you mean exactly or what you are trying to get ? [03:31] madamps: welcome [03:31] I've not come close to that myself [03:31] bazhang,i did and i stayed for even longer,im just gone a dead line to met, in 3 weeks, i got to got a source of internet on this computer [03:31] 100GB for root is huge [03:31] ohhh droped here [03:31] for an external drive should I format it as ext2 or ext4? is there any advantage to using ext4 on an external drive? [03:32] be right back. I need to take a 2 min breather. [03:32] my internet often disconnects. i get this message in log files "Protocol-Reject for unsupported protocol 0x348d" this happens many times(the protocol isn t always the same) [03:32] jjgalvez__, shared with windows? [03:32] jjgalvez__: any reason why not ext3 ? [03:32] bazhang: nope just linux [03:32] jjgalvez__: want to share it with windows hosts ? [03:32] jjgalvez__, ext4 then [03:32] jjgalvez__: use ext4 if it's Linux-only [03:32] ah^ [03:32] ext2 is old and lacks journaling [03:32] ext4 support is relatively new [03:32] cast, not really [03:33] bazhang: yes, really [03:33] furythor: no reason, just when I clicked on the drive and selected format I got ext2 and ext4 as options [03:33] cast, its perfectly fine. === spyrosebastos is now known as spiros [03:33] ext4 is default on most linux installs [03:33] i believe ubuntu is one of those [03:33] jjgalvez__: that goes interesting, that ext3 is not among options... [03:33] tensorpudding: is it? [03:33] jjgalvez__, look for cross format, so you dont need to do it again, if thats not what your thing 'to look back" the right on.. [03:33] cast, perhaps you are thinking of btrfs [03:33] cast: optinally since jaunty or ibex, jaunty I think [03:34] I have question related to graphics card, does ubuntu 9.10 nvidia proprietary drivers support Geforce 275/285 graphics card ? [03:34] bazhang: i am not. [03:34] so it looks like since I am only using this for linux ext4 is the way to go [03:34] jjgalvez_,i say it cuz theres a 5%-10% chance you'll need windows [03:34] jjgalvez__, yep [03:34] just venting ... know that there's no easy answer: got my old pc, with a windows activation code that refuses to work, but I can boot with the windows xp install disk. I've got an ubuntu install cd, but it refuses to boot with a cannot read disk error. I am so lost... [03:34] i can understand perhaps you're used to talking to morons, but i'm not one. [03:34] More port questions. ssh from Starbucks. Not port 22 cause it's blocked. Port 8080 let's say. The connection reaches my router. How does the ssh service that listens to port 22 know to listen to port 8080? Isn't port forwarding to have your inbound ports directed to the private ports? [03:35] cast, that's not appropriate for here [03:35] iBallbag: oh hey...i guess i do have compiz... [03:35] furythor: yes [03:35] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64Bit Alien Arena sound not working. [03:35] iBallbag: ccsm? [03:35] dustin: true, but this is going to be used to back up my linux comp, I'll user another drive if i need windoz [03:36] DasEi: so if I get either of those cards I got fully working drivers ?

Etc, etc. [03:37] casst, comments like that donest help the commuity grow, which "we" dont get better support, [03:37] DasEi: do you know of a link to a tutorial? I just learned ssh 2 days ago trying to set up a web proxy being I'm leaving the states... And I'm running out of time to finish this set up and don't have a lot of time to learnsometing else [03:37] I'm having some trouble with a built in mic... Is there a support channel I should go to, or can someone here help me out? [03:37] furythor: yup, certified as their hp says, so yes [03:37] iBallbag: so the simple on or the complex one... [03:37] ext4 support has been in the kernel since 2.6.28 [03:37] bazhang: that wasnt ramdom at all [03:38] Annie: no prob, let's go : [03:38] crivit, offtopic for here. please don't [03:38] bazhang: just saying [03:39] ... can anyone at least tell me what channel to go to for support getting this mic to work with Ubuntu? [03:39] DasEi: okay, since I got interesting problem, I got some problems with gf gt240 with 9.10 but my wireless mouse and keyboard work fine, however I don't know if those problems are really serious, or could I install newer driver from nvidia website... [03:39] Annie: gksudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config [03:39] DasEi: got it [03:39] I guess that means that it isn't supported in Debian Lenny, but Ubuntu has supported it for a few releases now [03:39] cast,comments like that donest help the commuity grow, which "we" dont get better support, [03:39] Annie: found it already ? [03:40] tensorpudding: great. so ubuntu supports it. 'linux' is a great deal more widespread than ubuntu [03:40] pie simple is what i got [03:40] DasEi: was talking to cast, told me about it but on reading more by brain melted [03:40] cast is my favrite person in this room right now. [03:40] Annie: gksudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config [03:40] dustin: thansk for the advice [03:40] iBallbag: oh well lol too late [03:40] dude you rock [03:40] iBallbag: but thanks i hope this fixes it = [03:40] Annie:set the port there [03:40] * =/ [03:41] cast, im very new at all this i would love to learn lunix, comments like that dont help [03:41] Annie:also password auth, as I assume, save the file... then.. [03:41] jjgalvez__ you well come ; [03:41] This argument might be worthwhile but it's ultimately irrelevant to the original query anyway [03:41] DasEi: argh... sorry DasEi... My proxy server is a mac [03:41] cast, pointing out the fact that there is a linux world outside of ubuntu CERTAINLY helps the community. Thanks. [03:42] furythor: did you find that card under hardwaredrivers ? [03:42] DasEi: but it looks like I can edit the config file easy enough. [03:42] Annie: erm, this is ubuntu, but config shall be same [03:42] DasEi: yeah, I got everything working, but I had some issues with 9.10 and when I moved to 10.04 some things were repaired but others appeared to have breaked down [03:42] pie, i cant guarantee it [03:42] Annie: and look for something similar in mac : [03:43] !info fail2ban [03:43] fail2ban (source: fail2ban): bans IPs that cause multiple authentication errors.

I can only suggest these kewords for search "protocol reject 0x????" [03:44] DasEi: # Port 22.... that line is hashed out because it's default. But if I unhash it and put in 9050-9999, that will make ssh listen to those ports? [03:44] furythor: in general that cards shouldn't cause trouble, did you run the settings manager afterwards ?(the nvidia one) [03:44] bazhang: so cold the night [03:44] se estara selebrando el aniversrio de ubuntu-ve en maracay [03:44] nibsa1242: yeah, it means when you have drama trying to read the disks in other boxes [03:44] jjgalvez__ you well come ;) just watch how fast my adice come into play, i "eat a half gb a day to a 1 gb, so thats hard to do but, do what my studio does and it very likely [03:44] !ot > crivit [03:44] crivit, please see my private message [03:44] okay...anyway...i have what appears to be a fairly common problem for people who updated to the latest version....ubuntu does not boot correctly...it sends me to busybox...it basically says my UUID does not exist [03:44] DasEi: yes but there were few weird things, maybe due to problems of my graphics card being that much new one...

[03:46] hello im trying to learn howto encrypt a file, i don't fully understand how gpg works, i would only encrypt a rar file but gpg apparently uses public keys? i would like that when i encrypy a file it creates a new one with a new extention and when i double click it it would promt me for a password, but gpg apparently can create private keys that if you format pc and havent back it up, despite you remember password, you still woul [03:46] dnt be able to decrypt file is this true? is there any nice guide for dummies? thanks [03:46] dustin: Wow, this is for my Mom, but I will definitely keep an eye on it [03:46] i tried editing it to sda1, then sda2...both got error 23 if i recall correctly [03:46] what is current support level for Ati Radeon drivers on Ubuntu Linux ? [03:46] DasEi: ok... I'll check on syntax. Just wanna make sure the question I'm gonna ask makes sense first. So something like 22,25-1000... would make sense on that line? [03:46] sdfasdfasdfasdf: gpg can use passwords, pass it the -c option, [03:47] Annie: yesss [03:47] cast, is there any nice gui easy to use? [03:47] DasEi: SWEET [03:47] cast: I've never used debian, is it hard to setup? (my experience is with Mandrake (back when it was called that); Fedora (back when it was Fedora Core); and Ubuntu) [03:47] sdfasdfasdfasdf: probably [03:47] =/ [03:47] DasEi: thanks for your patience. Really needed it [03:47] hi.. anyone use irssi client irc [03:47] ? [03:47] nibsa1242: i find it trivial [03:47] josephseraos: yes, most of #irssi [03:48] Love this room!!! It's so nice to come into a chat room and get actual help :D [03:48] cast: Ok, but nobody answer me [03:48] Annie: ehhhhh sometimes lol [03:48] cast: ok, I'll look into it [03:48] Annie: there you go, but keep topic here : http://tinyurl.com/2d7xgdn [03:48] josephseraos: I sometimes use it but an not an expert on irssi [03:49] cast: hey, could you say me, how do I change to other channels that I have joined? [03:49] Hello all, I have an acer aspire 3810TZ and my internal microphone won't work nor does my Internet display the speed it says unknown or 1 mbps. Does anyone know how to fix this? [03:49] smackmanic: you have probs with grub-legacy ? [03:49] DasEi: awesome! Thanks again. [03:49] cast, to begin with i dont want to send this encrypted files so can gpg just not use that public/private key thing, what does it do btw? [03:50] furythor, "the upgrading bug" i call it (not well known), it happens when you do the same with (9.04 ubuntu to 9.10.) i guess it make it this far ... the best way to get fix that is a clean install of th os your trying to go ofor in the first place [03:50] headkase314: I'm just testing... It's can be to some necessity. I'm user GNU/Linux, and I would like to know some softwares for console [03:50] understand? [03:50] josephseraos: Type "man irrsi" in a console for it! [03:50] Annie: is that for the sshd_config? thats not a good idea.. [03:50] sdfasdfasdfasdf: what are you up to? [03:50] headkase314: Great! [03:50] cast, can it just create a .gpg file fully encrypted that could be decrypted in ANY pc with only knowing the secret password? [03:50] Hello all, what happens with russian ubuntu repositories? [03:50] cast: No? [03:50] sdfasdfasdfasdf: yes. gpg -c [03:51] dustin: can be, though I think it may have some interesting other reasons causing that problem... [03:51] cast: we're liitle ot here, she wants to connect her mac and her ubu by ssh [03:51] Annie: does sshd support syntax in the form of a range? [03:51] it's not installed [03:51] man for irssi is not installed [03:51] dustin: like fact that drivers aren't simply "bug free" for my graphics card yet [03:51] Sorry my english. I'm brazilian [03:51] DasEi: whatever version came with 8.04...basically when i boot up, it doesnt actually boot to ubuntu. doesnt recognize my UUID..found a forum post...says I need to change the boot option in grub...ive tried and I think I'm doing it incorrectly [03:52] if that makes sense [03:52] crivit, i would like to encrypt a .tar.gz file to store it safely in my pc, so the idea is that me only knowing certain password or phrase could decrypt it and use those files even if i format pc. problem is apparently kgpg creates some kind of private key that if i dont back up i couldnt decrypt this file even knowing the password in my head, as far as i understand [03:52] josephseraos: back up plan -> http://www.irssi.org/documentation [03:52] no software is bug free :P [03:53] What about geforce 400 series _ [03:53] sdfasdfasdfasdf: the gpg passphrase only unlocks the key, the key is the truly important bit, and that needs to be backed up [03:53] nasa may have some.. [03:53] Quick question: is there anyway to get Grub2 to ignore a specific partition? the 30_os_prober successfully finds vista, but also the OEM utility partition, which it also calls Vista. I want grub to ignore the latter. [03:53] smackmanic: one question forehands, why still hardy ? backup files and get a future-able distro ? else we could fix it by a live cd, but might take longer in view to file backup and fresh install [03:53] !eol | smackmanic [03:53] smackmanic: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [03:53] sdfasdfasdfasdf: it's really quite trivial to use the command line, :)you should learn at some point [03:53] What does it mean if a system cannot get past the file system check during boot? It drops to a shell consistently at 66% [03:53] sdfasdfasdfasdf: well as long as they know the key [03:54] DasEi: I ran an update, however, you must update grub manually. obviously I can't get into ubuntu..so I can't update it [03:54] headkase314: where can I find people who wants just talk. just chat? [03:54] cast: alright, I'm done with this install bs... I'm going to try debian instead... Installing to a software raid1 should be trivial not something that takes hours and hours and then hardlocks so you can't even tell why it fails [03:54] livecd is not an option right now unfortunately. [03:54] josephseraos, #ubuntu-offtopic [03:54] edbian: fs corrupt, check unmounted by live cd [03:54] edbian: file system check error [03:54] josephseraos: #defocus [03:54] tensorpudding, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so say i format this pc ok. to be able to extract that tar i would have to put that back up of the key into new kgpg and then decrypt the file, if i didnt have this back up file of the key theres no possible human way i cant decrypt the file again? [03:54] DasEi, Do you mean the check function using gparted?? [03:55] :) [03:55] smackmanic: live cd, see above [03:55] !grub [03:55] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [03:55] DasEi: I found a forum post with essentially my exact error...could I /msg the solution? I believe it will work, only I think I am doing it incorrectly [03:55] So the partition GUI lets me make everything except swap. If I leave 4000 MB unallocated, does it just make that the swap? Also, does swap count towards my limit of 4 primary partitions? [03:55] sdfasdfasdfasdf: without the key, your chances of reading the file again are as good as attacker trying to read your file without your consent [03:55] as any* [03:55] lol see above, livecd is not option atm [03:55] smackmanic: go ahead [03:55] The system drops to a shell, can't I use that instead of booting a live CD ? [03:56] actually much poorer, since you don't have a botnet for cracking AES + RSA [03:56] BentFranklin, Leaving space unallocated will not make it swap. Swap does count against your 4 primary partitions. That's a limit caused by the hdd not the OS. [03:56] edbian: what your hdd? [03:56] edbian: not if the fs can't work on ,as a superblock could be damaged, need a live for it then to check [03:57] crivit, Could you rephrase that? [03:57] tensorpudding, i'm sorry i just don't get it fully, and trust me i've googled a lot and there isn't good clear information, if kgpg creates this private key lets imagine its a .key file (don't know) why then do i have to learn a pass phrase if i have the key + the .gpg file containing my protected tar.gz? [03:57] Hi all. Does anybody know how to sincronize Ipod Classic at Rhythmbox? [03:57] edbian: The system drops to a shell? please explain [03:58] crivit: the fsck breaks down [03:58] DasEi: sent...I hope it was not too long [03:58] DasEi, Does corrupt mean that the hdd is physically broken? Will this be an easy fix using gparted on a live CD? It's not actually me fixing it. It's a friend's computer and he's far away. I have to explain it to him. [03:59] smackmanic: no pm arrived, myabe a pastebin ? [03:59] crivit, Yeah, when your hdd fails that built it fs check it drops to a shell. [03:59] crivit, a bash shell [03:59] tensorpudding, and what is that attacker thing you mention, i thought gpg was quite good at hiding files, it means someone can download some sort of crack (?) and read my file easily if this person got access to my .gpg? [03:59] edbian: no, can also be the fact, but mostly it's just the filesystem [03:59] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1454385.html 2nd to last post, not much scrolling [03:59] posted by rudihawk [03:59] edbian: ok so what the error message? [04:00] Hello all, I have an acer aspire 3810TZ and my internal microphone doesn't work. Also my internet shows unknown or 1 mbps. Does anyone know how to fix this? [04:00] DasEi, I understand that as: "no" the hard drive is not physically broken. "can also be the fact" what does that mean?? [04:00] \frac{5}{6} [04:00] crivit, Don't know, haven't seen it myself. [04:00] \[ \frac{5}{6} \] [04:00] $\frac{5}{6}$ [04:01] edbian: i can be physically broken, but most time this behaviour is caused by the fs, not the hardware [04:01] edbian: so fsck dosent give you a message? [04:01] crivit, It might. It's a remote PC. I don't know. [04:01] uhm apparently he is away could someone please answer me the question i just asked to tensorpudding? , i would really appreaciate it =) [04:02] sdfasdfasdfasdf: I wish I could... [04:02] sdfasdfasdfasdf: the encryption is there so that if someone stole your .tar.gz file, they couldn't read it [04:02] edbian: so fs check it drops to a shell? [04:02] hi. i am using ./ssh/authorized_keys, and it works fine. then suddenly i get prompted for my password again. any idea why or how this would time out? [04:02] smackmanic: follow the link to restore grub, use a live cd, that will give you all checks; and a agin, newer distro no offer ? [04:02] !grub [04:02] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [04:02] DasEi, I'm going to tell him to boot Ubuntu (live CD), check the hdd using gparted, and if it doesn't fix the problem I'm going to assume that the HDD is physically broken and advise him to grab the data using the live CD (if he can) and get a new HDD / computer. [04:02] DasEi: livecd is not currently an option.... [04:02] crivit, Yes. Have I not already said that? [04:02] sdfasdfasdfasdf: by attacker i mean someone who wants to read your .tar.gz file without your consent [04:02] edbian: oh, not yours, no check by fsck/e2fsck [04:03] had it been an option I would have immediately updated grub with it heh [04:03] and ran fsck , etc [04:03] DasEi, "Not yours?" what do you mean? [04:03] sdfasdfasdfasdf: there are ways to try and break the encryption, but they are effectively useless for the most part [04:03] edbian: well your problem is NOT explained [04:03] because I had a hunch that was an issue when I first saw the errors...however livecd is not an option right now...editing grub is [04:03] tensorpudding, you mean steal my .gpg file encrypted containing my tar.gz right? or kgpg doesnt alter the original tar.gz [04:03] alô [04:03] RSA encryption is based on certain mathematical properties of large numbers [04:03] sdfasdfasdfasdf: that is what i meant, the tar.gz.gpg file [04:04] edbian: going to tell him ^ [04:04] heh..so I have the solution for editing grub...I just don't believe I'm editing it correctly [04:05] SunOS z13131AA.textdrive.com 5.11 snv_62 i86pc i386 i86pc <--- does this mean i'm on Solaris ? [04:05] quizme: yes. [04:05] quizme: cat /etc/release [04:05] This is what I want to do: Install Win7 on MacBook pro, and then install ubuntu. Is there a way yo /just/ use GRUB as the boot menu instead of boot camp? [04:06] sdfasdfasdfasdf: so i forgot what your original question was [04:06] tensorpudding, not enought words to thank you man, i wish someone wrote this and it got in first google page :D. so to be sure i fully understood if my hdd broke and i needed to read again this tar.gz i woould have to not only back up in any mediea the tar.gz.gpg file but the .key backup file too and of course remember the pass phrase the .key file is protecting then. Then in my reinstall of ubuntu, i would have to make kgpg re [04:06] ad this backup file and doueble click the tar.gz.gpg? isnt it? [04:07] edbian: if the hdd is broken fully you wont get any data off it [04:07] crivit, I know. I'm afraid of that for him. [04:07] sdfasdfasdfasdf: the GnuPG page has a ton of information about how gpg works [04:08] there's a Concepts part to the manual which is nice [04:09] but, public key based cryptosystems are non-trivial [04:09] sdfasdfasdfasdf: If you wanted to back up your gpg key, you can export the key to a file, save the file somewhere on some backup media, then import the key into gpg when necessary [04:09] tensorpudding, ok i'll take a look but what i said right before is right? [04:09] Hello all, I have an acer aspire 3810TZ and my internal microphone doesn't work. Also my internet shows unknown or 1 mbps. Does anyone know how to fix this? [04:09] edbian: for who>? [04:09] sdfasdfasdfasdf: install signing-party and pgpgpg, then use the man-function, a 10 min task then [04:09] crivit, The friend of mine who's computer this is we're talking about. [04:09] you can even print out your key, it takes up about 1/4 of a page, one uses paperkey for that [04:09] sdfasdfasdfasdf: if you're afraid of losing the passphrase you can write it down in a file on the backup [04:10] hey.. I can't to find. I entered in some channels and I don't know how to change to other channels. I can't to find it on irssi.org [04:10] sdfasdfasdfasdf: the description of the process you gave is correct [04:10] edbian: put the drive in question in another pc [04:10] sdfasdfasdfasdf: like cast said, you can back up the key by printing it out [04:10] DasEi, i think i just learned howto use kgpg hehe. [04:10] it's just a rather long string of random alphanumeric characters [04:11] random-looking* [04:11] it turns out the secret part of your key is only a few hundred bits, commonly 200-400 bits, [04:11] Is there a big difference between fsck and e2fsck ?? [04:11] woah interesting [04:11] whats the CLI command to get the distro info [04:11] sdfasdfasdfasdf: fine two, just another frontend, but nice to know cmd-line, can use on other OS'es, too then [04:11] can i use stronger protection, i think there is 2048 bits, its this safe enought or theres even more? [04:11] edbian: fsck calls e2fsck I believe [04:12] edbian: haha only light years away [04:12] edbian: you use fsck and it calls the appropriate program to fsck that filesystem [04:12] hey guys, I borked my OSX partition on my dual boot macbook. Trying to use my iPod to boot from as an OSX install DVD. though I don't have disk usage enabled on it.... what are my options? running the windows version of itunes under wine? I can't restart my comp as I won't be able to boot back into linux because I was using rEFIt and I guess that was part of the OSX partition. [04:12] tensorpudding, That's what I thought. Thanks :) [04:12] hello? [04:13] * smackmanic rm -rf ubuntubuggy =( [04:13] sdfasdfasdfasdf: I think 1024 bits is considered to be safe on the multi-decade scale at current [04:13] as in, the time it takes to brute-force it will take decades of computer time [04:13] sdfasdfasdfasdf: 2048 bit is the size of the finite field you're operating in, with a 2048 bit ELG key your secret keys still only 330 bits, but your public key is 2048*2 and then some === pepee_ is now known as pepee [04:14] occasionally, my firefox freezes for a few seconds when maximized, anyone has an idea? [04:14] tensorpudding, wow even with lastest intel processors combined? ok im overreacting here not like if the nasa wanted to read this tar.gz hehe [04:14] smackmanic: what about my questions ? dist-install / access hd from another system ? [04:14] anything to do with X [04:14] Apparently 768bit RSA has been broken earlier this year, using 1500 years of computer time [04:15] cast, i see. [04:15] 1500 years in the equivalent of a standard desktop pc [04:15] DasEi: currently the only route I can pursue...is either editign grub boot...or doing something with busybox. however...heh...I think busybox may be the most useless shell in the world [04:15] the world, is rightfully so, moving away from 1024 bit keys [04:15] I got! //window [04:15] I got! / /window [04:15] the whole effort involved a massive supercomputer using an integer sieve [04:15] busybox? whats that? [04:15] attacking RSA is a bit easier than attacking ELG, for what it's worth [04:15] it's a bit frustrating because obviously the solution is there...I'm not doing it properly... [04:15] smackmanic: considering repairing grub, yes [04:15] 1024 will be safe for a bit yet. [04:16] I got! / window [04:16] dustin: a shell I hope you never see mate [04:16] DasEi, Thanks for your help! :) [04:16] =p [04:16] tensorpudding, wow i'm using 2048 then :D [04:16] dustin: a minimal shell you get dropped to if initramfs fails [04:16] edbian: fs fixed ? [04:16] gpg defaults are now 2048, have been for a while [04:16] sdfasdfasdfasdf: the resources to break 1024 would be out of the reach of most everyone [04:16] DasEi, No, I sent an email though. [04:17] dustin: apparently a lot of people who jumped from 8.04 to the latest version ge to wake up to it... [04:17] edbian: so I got you right, not your box [04:17] its that like when a pc gets a bluescreenfodeath, and you do theat to reveive it [04:17] edbian: what box you on? [04:17] smackmanic: huh ? you have the choice of grub2 there, nor ? [04:17] DasEi, You helped me start solving a problem for somebody else. No offense but I find it very difficult to understand what you're saying. [04:18] crivit, My own. This box has no problems. Running Debian :) [04:18] though honestly i don't think you'll ever convince anyone that there is such a thing as too many bits in a private key [04:18] sure you will [04:18] DasEi: no because I cannot access updates from busybox (there's not even sudo..) and as I've said livecd is -not- an option [04:18] crivit, It's my friends computer that has the problems. Again, I've said this to you I'm I not making sense? [04:18] i see now i managed to think this: if i encrypt with 2048 bits an already encrypted file in same bits. it woult take sort of 4096 protection cause it'd take a lot of time to decrypt the 2048 bits to get another 2048 file, hehe double amount of time am i correct? [04:18] when it takes too long to use the key :) [04:18] anyone truly paranoid [04:19] cast: techonology advances allow for larger keys as easily as they allow for easier brute forcing [04:19] sdfasdfasdfasdf: no. [04:19] edbian:sure you are but I wasnt here later [04:19] smackmanic: so one more time, backup files and do a fresh install ? any other possibility to hang that hd on working system ? [04:20] even 768 is safe enough in the short term [04:20] DasEi: I have the solution though...I just don't understand it [04:20] can someone tell me what ctrl alt f2 does exactly? it doesn't seem to kill x like i first thought [04:20] hi folks [04:20] hi [04:20] I'm having problems in my desktop. I'm running ubuntu 10.04 on i386 arch. Everytime I start my system, the window decorator of gtk goes missing. Is this because I installed compiz(is it a bug in compiz)? I have to do "gtk-window-decorator --replace& [04:20] until people who care enough to break your encrypted files have access to computing power equal to 1500 years on average 2010 desktop PC's [04:20] tensorpudding: but the rates are not the same :) [04:20] <[thor]> wolfric: it switches to TTY2 [04:20] in a reasonable amount of time [04:20] wolfric: it opens another tty, ctrl-alt-F7 brings you back to desktop [04:21] <[thor]> wolfric: x is on TTY7 [04:21] crivit, Yeah it's another persons computer (laptop) that has fs errors. I sent him a message instructing him to run fsck on the partiton using a live CD. === Ademan is now known as who [04:21] tensorpudding: attacks may evolve faster than computing hardware [04:21] DasEi: so I believe i should try to see the actual solution out before I go destroying the OS lol [04:21] I'm having problems in my desktop. I'm running ubuntu 10.04 on i386 arch. Ocassionally when I start my system, the window decorator of gtk goes missing. Is this because I installed compiz(is it a bug in compiz)? I have to do "gtk-window-decorator --replace&" to get it working. How do I get this resolved permanently? === who is now known as Guest86568 [04:21] edbian: ok MITM heheh [04:21] i managed to google for the f7 after i had to hard restart the first time :) i'm not too familiar with tty2 or any other number can you give me a general name to look up more on? === linuxcooldude is now known as linuxguys [04:21] or a link [04:22] !MITM [04:22] what is MITM ?

[04:23] sdfasdfasdfasdf: attacking a 2048 bit key is maybe equiv to a 2^100 symmetric key, attacking your doubly encrypted file would be equiv to 2^101, twice as hard.

I just get a screen with a cursor blinking, then I get the splash screen. [04:25] Hey everyone [04:26] deexannihilate: do you have libdvdcss2 installed¿ [04:26] DasEi: and then watch helplessly as someone breaks in via your use of adobe flash to browse websites! [04:26] hrishi: because apparently they wanted to make ubuntu more buggy. [04:26] I've also tried pressing the esc key... but I still can't get the boot menu to appear [04:26] Tux414, 1st) plug it in to lan (no wifi at all) upated like a mad man , an everything you can update and come back when your done [04:26] crivit, What does MITM stand for then?

[04:26] edbian: never mind [04:26] crivit, ha ha:) ok [04:26] callipygous: are you dual booting? [04:26] dustin: I have wifi it just doesn't read the speed correctly. [04:26] tik: no [04:26] callipygous: left shift (grub2), might have to modify timeout [04:26] callipygous: you keep pressing the Alt key when you start your pc i believe [04:26] oh ok [04:26] nm [04:27] smackmanic: Ha, I don't see the point of hiding the menu anyway. [04:27] alt? [04:27] i thoughtit was ESC? [04:27] les_ how can we help you? [04:27] xangua: oh, but what is the point! [04:27] tik: grub1 was Esc [04:27] o [04:27] sry [04:27] @hylian I'm new to IRC, so just listening for now, thanks! [04:27] edbian:only trying to help [04:27] xangua: yes. it is installed [04:27] hrishi: i think it's just to tick you off [04:28] ah left shift worked, thanks :) [04:28] les: ok :) [04:28] If I try: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/media there is no problems. But If i add this to my fstab i get bad fstype. Anyone know why? /dev/sdb1 /media/media ntfs 0 0 [04:28] callipygous: modify timeout/spalsh /etc/default/grub, update-grub (as root) afterwards [04:28] callipygous: be fine then [04:28] crivit, Attempt appreciated :) [04:28] smackmanic: hope they change it in meerkat atleast. [04:28] chilli0: you're double posting. [04:29] ? for any1: Is there any good online radi streamer for ubuntu? [04:29] hrishi: I hope this buggy update didn't eff me over on this OS [04:29] ;) [04:29] chilli0: pastebin the whole fstab line [04:29] DasEi, I did. [04:29] Well , that is the whole line. [04:29] does ayone know where I can get the vhook libraries for ffmpeg (it's been depreciated) or a good watermarking software? [04:29] :D [04:29] cast, Because I want help, other chan hadn't offered anything so I asked here. [04:29] Tux414,well try it anyways , i got lucky with a driver for my lappy, that i had been lookin for, and it was in the system bank, newly updated [04:29] chilli0: i know it's best to use the devices number than the /sdb1 bit, but i don't think that should be your problem. did you have to force this to mount in the past? [04:29] sorry to bug you guys that was on a timer i disabledit [04:30] one more query. Why is it that ubuntu lucid is drinking battery power 40% or more when compared to "Windows 7"!!!! for crying out loud [04:30] Tux414,some time later [04:30] hrishi: hahahahahahaha I was just about to mention [04:30] hrishi: did you set the screen brightness down and set the drive to spin down? [04:30] chilli0: but you cant be using *both* operating systems [04:30] that apparently lucid doesn't handle CPU very well at all...let lucid stay installed as ur main OS for a year or so [04:30] chilli0: /dev/sdb1 /media/media ntfs user,auto 0 0 [04:30] ? for any1: Is there any good online radio streamer for ubuntu? [04:30] it'll eat the graphics card up [04:31] Thanks DasEi I shall try that now. [04:31] fore more possib's : [04:31] I've seen it happen to five mates so far, ones right now at the point of flickering screen [04:31] cast, They work in the same way , ubuntu is based of debian.

[04:32] I heard the GPU runs at full speed and that 'might' be the problem? Is this true? [04:32] you shouldn't mount external hdrives with fstab [04:32] dustin: 10.10 it works but on 10.4 it won't work my computer is an acer aspire 3810 TZ. [04:32] Its mainly a kernel issue I guess as the same effect is present on fedora 13 as well [04:32] crivit, No worries :) [04:32] DasEi, Seemed to work so far. Thanks. [04:32] does anyone know of a channel dedicated to netbook discussion? I'd like to run a linux distro on a netbook but I was looking for advice as to which model netbook to invest in. was hoping for something powerful enough to playback 1080p mkv files in mplayer [04:32] Uruz: do not ping please [04:33] hrishi..'might'........ [04:33] Tux414, whats wont again? did you do my advice? [04:33] chilli0: np, nice [04:33] it'll fry the machine eventually [04:33] smackmanic: yeah ... thanks to todays cooling techniques, we're saved :D :D [04:33] ennui: netbooks normally are not designed to play HD videos === josephseraos_ is now known as josephseraos [04:34] hrishi: idk...I've seen 5 laptops get fried by lucid so far, personally.

[04:34] smackmanic: wow! 5 ... this is bad .... [04:34] crivit: basically made destroyed the monitor [04:35] Hi , a little trouble with compiz here with lucid, if i create a shortcut in application at startup with the command "compiz --replace" , after starting a proccess is working in loop and I have my CPU at 34 ~40 % ... if instead I start without this and in a terminal : compiz --replace , I dont have trouble.. any idea? [04:35] made the graphics card useless and did some damage to HD [04:35] I'm on a Dell with Lucid now, and it works great...inspiron 640m...came with XP [04:35] they were all dells...a certain model....I forget which [04:35] dustin: could you please repeat your advice [04:35] les_, right, I don't think it's all dells [04:35] I'm using dell myself...an ancient desktop but a dell nonetheless [04:35] go to pm opk? [04:35] and I don't have cpu probs [04:36] except I don't have enough cpu...=p [04:36] xangua: I know they aren't normally but many new netbooks now have HD resolution screens [04:36] What is the __KDE__ sw that shows the hardware in a system - ex, USB hw info? There used to be something called KControl in KDE3, but thatś gone. - Iḿ unable to get connected to #KUbuntu. [04:36] les_ yeah the dell's, especially the dimension models seem to work really well with ubuntu. [04:36] I lucked out, as I'm new to Linux, and my first try was on my Dell. If it hadn't gone well, I might not have switched. [04:37] les_...I think once I get ubuntu actually running again, I'm going to switch to debian [04:37] to be honest. [04:37] 99gioz: loa terminal and type lsusb [04:37] Why....stability? [04:37] giov: maybe because is not #KUbuntu is #kubuntu [04:37] smackmanic: is there 'any' solutions for this battery issue ... reducing the brightness and spinning down hard disks is just going around the problem, giving trouble to the user, than solving the problem! :D [04:37] giov: you maybe need to register your nick¿ [04:37] les_: yeah. everytime we update something in ubuntu something breaks [04:38] and ubuntu is terrible at handling the cpu compared to debian [04:38] les_ it also helps that dell seems to like using nvidia hardware. I'm running a self built machine, ubuntu 10.04 amd64 bit edition. runs great. [04:38] smackmanic: do you have a lot of stuff installed? [04:38] giov: for gnome it's gnome-device-manager, maybe search synaptic for kde ? [04:38] debian is an old distro ubuntu is virtual new comaired to sum give it time [04:38] hrishi: they did that...idk if that actually helped any at all..see...the problem wasn't completely noticeable except the battery was very hot..then the monitor would randomly flicker...

[04:39] crivit: I'm not even using livecd mate.... [04:39] bintut, Windows only supports samba and ftp. ftp is a security joke. [04:39] smackmanic: then I guess it still remains a problem! hmmmm...... [04:39] smackmanic: I'm a newbie, but I've installed on three PC's now several times, and it seems ok until I add other desktop environments [04:40] hrishi: I would just google ur laptop model or whatever and CPU and ubuntu to check it out [04:40] Such as KDE [04:40] les_: I'm usually fine unless I update anything at all [04:40] bintut i personally prefer ext 3 because there are some nice windows programs that can write to ext3. [04:40] lol [04:40] bintut: ext3 [04:40] anytime I go for an update, ubuntu gives me the finger [04:41] How well Nvidia Geforce 400 series graphics cards are supported in Ubuntu 10.04 ?

[04:41] files [04:41] jsimmons: So basically if I buy new card, make fresh install etc, it should work flawlessly ? [04:41] im surprised my harddrive still works [04:42] bintut: samba is your best be [04:42] bintut, yeah, either samba or ftp if you're using windows. If you're over a lan than the ftp isn't such a horrible idea. Samba is still much preferred. [04:42] t [04:42] any support yet for macbook pro? [04:42] wow.. i'm new to linux and ubuntu.. also wanted to try out wmplayer too.. found this.. its just what i needed.. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/11287/how-to-run-ubuntu-in-windows-7-with-vmware-player/ [04:42] smackmanic, yes I hear Debian is much better for stability because they update very conservatively. Might work for you. [04:42] Should do furythor, you'll have to install the nvidia restricted drivers before you can get 3D acceleration, or even possible full resolution. But yes. [04:43] itsux2bu: I recommend sun virtual box it's freeware [04:43] les_: lol it doesn't bother me so much except these are common bugs and there seems to be not a lot of help in fixing them [04:43] so is vmplayer [04:43] and they don't exactly warn you up front...so most of the time it's a surprise [04:43] jsimmons: yeah I know that, just curious to know that I don't get expensive and useless graphics card for my system [04:43] you can create with vmplayer? [04:43] bintut: samba is most comfort, for throughput rsync and such are better, nas is little faster then samba, too [04:43] like..this is a surprise, whats not a surprise? I promise you lucid does not include my sound modules. [04:43] i get this error 'The following packages block the update: pm-utils-powersave-policy'. I want to install laptop mode. pls help. [04:43] furythor, yes:) i did it (most of the time ) try to install the set up vmware after to test it [04:43] bintut i know that software works locally, i have never used it over a network. technically it should work, but, i can't guarantee it [04:43] smackmanic, I know what you mean. I've come to love Linux, but that is one HUGE issue that needs to be overcome. [04:44] or w/e we're on these days. I wouldn't know, I rebooted and now it's bunk lol [04:44] smackmanic: a lot of cards are supported [04:44] thought [04:44] what do you have? [04:44] another question, AMD Phenom II x4 cpus work also on ubuntu 10.04 ? [04:44] i stumbled upon a version of android for pc, im gonna check it out. im hoping it wil make a nice little os for a kiosk type set up, mostly for my nephews. [04:44] furythor, no 100% sucussed but if you do then you saved your self alot of time and moving files [04:44] you can tr some different models and see if they work for it [04:44] furythor: yesss [04:44] they will work fine furythor. [04:45] My download is finished. Going now, so I can try out Mint KDE on my wife's laptop [04:45] starting with vmplayer v3 you can "create" vm's [04:45] Good night, all! [04:45] les: njo [04:45] y [04:45] !bye | les_ [04:45] les_: Au revoir! [04:45] oh.. din't know that [04:45] itsux2bu: pmm you ? [04:46] i don't know why i made ubottu say bye... [04:46] any one has met a compiz startup trouble after upgrading from karmic to lucid? [04:46] sorry had a phone call [04:46] okay, I may be getting upgrade for my computer so I would not need to "sulk" my slow'mo computer in Assembly10 ... *grin* [04:46] i get this error 'The following packages block the update: pm-utils-powersave-policy'. I want to install laptop mode. pls help. [04:47] itsux2bu: may I pm you ? [04:47] anyhow I am off, it is 6:45 here and I gotta get some sleep... [04:47] smackmanic: what card do you have for audio? you can try it under a different model [04:47] DasEi yes [04:47] it's me again in dolphin when i right click the tar.gz i want to encrypt with kgpg it only gives me the option to encrypt it using a publick key :S, how could i create a private key? the generate options create two both public and private,i'm not intending to distribute my encrypted file and much less make it available publicly so what do you suggest? [04:48] How different is it to go from Ubuntu to Debian? [04:48] tik: it's a creative sb live card [04:48] creative sound be covered [04:48] hd on [04:48] hold [04:48] xDATx: not very much difference IMO, I use debian off and on, with another machine [04:48] the repository xDaTx [04:48] I am halfwayu through Linux-Tutorial.info [04:48] "We want to get rid of laptop-mode-tools. We want to make pm-utils the [04:48] single point of implementing power management features." [04:48] want to get my linux + by the end of October [04:48] it is just as friendly as ubuntu...quite a bit more stable [04:49] but if ubuntu works, let it work I say [04:49] I am getting a hard lock at logout (keyboard unresponsive, need to hard boot) - I am thinking GDM is at fault. I checked the logs but can't see anything particular. Any ideas of next step? [04:49] what is /etc/modprobe.d/asla-base.conf say ? [04:49] is/does [04:49] steph_,i think.. what is compiz again? [04:49] asla/alsa ;) [04:49] Where I work the LAN engineers are pushing me to use Slackware but it is too crude for my taste. [04:50] You have to do everything so manually. [04:50] xDATx: I will say this, one thing for me that's an issue....ubuntu devs will literally alter code on some programs so they wont import mp3s (yes, this is true. i've inquired canonical about it.) [04:50] xDATx, Debian is older. You'll notice that right away. Using them is pretty much the same. Debian gets out of your way a little more I think. Once you've moved in to the distro though there is almost no difference besides the release cycle. [04:50] such as a DAW program. [04:50] xDATx: they're "LAN" engineers. tell them to sod off [04:51] smackmanic, edbian ok cool thanks [04:51] I'll give it a try [04:51] xDATx: debian will keep you onyour toes [04:51] xDATx, How anybody could stand using a distro without a package manager is beyond me. [04:51] tik sorry I didn't see your question.ummm, gee, I'd love to tell you, except ubuntu won't boot right now. [04:51] how about updates are they as current at Ubuntu? [04:51] dustin , with karmic , compiz was launched at start , with the comand "compiz --replace" in the menu application at startup , but with this way after starting , my cpu is working at 30% with a proccess in loop , if i dont use this command at startup menu , but instead , the command compiz -replace in a terminal , then all is ok [04:51] edbian if im not mistaked debian comes with apt-get. [04:51] edbian: and how it became the number 1 OS like that is also beyond me! [04:51] whenever I get some help on a simple grub issue I will be sure to letcha know mate [04:51] hylian, I was talking about slackware [04:52] cast, ha ha :) [04:52] edbian, .debs are very friendly.. [04:52] edbian im totally with you there. [04:52] cast: it was around long before others!!! [04:52] oh, we aren't talking about windows? [04:52] for what its worth, slackware and debian are quite similar in age [04:52] altho it's def nice to have a gui and click click...and have everything together so you can go to the terminal and just sudo apt [04:52] oh ok [04:52] but..eh [04:52] smackmanic: oh ok [04:52] !latest | xDATx [04:52] xDATx: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [04:53] smackmanic:put in a live cd and mount the partition :P [04:53] tik: :) [04:53] i can't wrap my head around debian's website. so many packages. i want something that says, oh you want this this and this. not, ohh, here's a million possible packages, and you figure it out. [04:53] xDATx: you can, on your own risk, add newer repos for things you want/need [04:53] smackmanic: why won't it boot? [04:53] haha for the dozenth time..livecd not an option..i have the solution! I'm too stupid to do it without a walkthru! hahaha [04:53] cast: age... but not usability [04:53] updates are very frequent I noticed in Ubuntu. Including kernel updates whats up with that? [04:53] maybe I can help [04:53] cast: age... but not usability [04:53] mate I can send you a link...the fix is fairly simple, I'm just doing something wrong [04:53] something is 'off [04:53] 'off' [04:54] hylian, I know, 23 CD's the first time I saw that I was like what the hell? [04:54] url me to the location of theworkaround [04:54] hylian: google perfect desktop [04:54] and ill PM you [04:54] hylian: damn that choice. [04:54] debian having a lot of software packaged for it is *not* an argument against it. [04:55] I am on a D620 latitude so I don't really have any hardware issues. Everything works out of the box. [04:55] anyone know of simple watermarking software? even colsole im game [04:55] if it were, then the distros without package management would be winning [04:55] DA: same with an asus laptop [04:55] thanks guys for your suggestion [04:55] cast i like choice, and i like direction. a city like los angeles and no road map = chaotic. [04:56] Ubu is calling my SATA drive a SCSI. That's ok right? [04:56] hylian: pose a hypothetical software selection problem and i'll pose a hypothetical solution [04:56] actually, i was waiting for someone who will be suggesting sshfs, nfsv4, openafs, etc.. but no one able to mention it as i already explicitly except for samba [04:56] BentFranklin: yes. [04:56] bintut, Those don't work with windows. [04:56] Anyone know if there is a Shared Linking Library for Qt to run Qt apps? [04:57] tik: sorry mate, am using windows and java..you know how that goes... [04:57] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1454385.html scroll to the bottom, 2nd to last post [04:57] cast maybe you can help me then. i have an interest in debian, i want to start with a functional gui desktop os. where in debian.org do i begin? [04:58] hylian: during the debian install, you had the option to select 'tasks', one of them was 'desktop environment', it was ticked by default in the installer [04:58] yah [04:58] cast: yeah [04:58] hylian: #debian is there , ubuntu is debian based and most popular, for general linux quests, join #linux [04:58] My first install crashed in the installer. The traceback mentioned something called ubituity a lot. I was installing from the Live CD. I'm installing straight from the CD now. I hope that works. [04:58] does anyone know the best way to completely disable GDM in ubuntu? [04:59] minitube: finally everything works but the video colors are so different with different hues. How do I fix this? [04:59] hylian: if you installed via a more exotic method, such as debootstrap, or a .tar, you can run tasksel manually, or, better imho, aptitude install gnome xorg [04:59] cast but that requires more bandwidth than i have. i download iso's from my library and then use them at home. i need something i can have totally ready and available without reconnecting to the net and downloading for 7 hours before i get everything installed. debian should make a ubuntu-ish desktop cd with most used software ready to go. [04:59] hylian: it really is much friendly than you'd think..just you have to get used to not using synaptic and such. that's my opinion. I use it for sound editing because as I said, ubuntu devs took it upon themselves to edit software so that id have to import a 300mb wav sample while I have 5 VSTi's open and CPU maxin out [04:59] ;) [04:59] hylian, cast #debian please [05:00] hylian: if you get the first debian dvd, it will contain all you need for a graphical desktop [05:00] cast, ? [05:00] cast: no competition [05:00] edbian: they actually work, well.. out of the box as you need to enable or install something for windows will be able to access the "shared" folder that sshfs, nfsv4, openafs, etc. filesystems served on the linux server [05:00] let's be Microsoft. no debian talk! even though we're based on it [05:00] bazhang, thanx you are right this is a discussion for another channel, and thank you cast for the info [05:00] bwaha [05:01] cast: the first DVD will set you up [05:01] yeah...you're right bazhang, what was i thinking :) why would i want hylian using debian! [05:01] cast: the first debian* #DVD will set you up [05:01] LOL [05:01] cast, i know. soooo stupid! [05:01] cast ;) [05:01] cast why do kgpg creates a public key by default, dont i need only a private key if im not intending to distribute the file? [05:02] but ubuntu is only debian "ish", LOL. [05:02] asdfasdfasdf: most people want a public key, so it does it by default [05:02] nah uh [05:02] debian is ish [05:02] ubuntu is bug [05:02] smackmanic, troll [05:02] fitoria: doubtful [05:03] SO TO METION DEBIAN IS TROLING? [05:03] how sad [05:03] crivit, not at all [05:03] crivit, its offtopic and lose the caps [05:03] I've been coming here for 2 days trying to get help editing grub properly because there is a bug in the ubuntu update. as you can imagine, it's been a bit stressful mate. just a bit. [05:04] ubuntu might be considered a "bug" by some of the more pure debian people, but i think it's the os that's gonna have a chance at taking any real marketspace away from MS. [05:04] hylian: it def already has, for sure [05:04] smackmanic: well unless ubuntu has fixed it you wont get any help! [05:05] smackmanic: 3 people gave you same advices, and also you don't anwer questions clear, that might be a issue [05:05] just like MS took market from MAC...not exactly a win win [05:05] !ot [05:05] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:05] :) [05:05] hehe [05:05] DasEi: I specifically said livecd is not an option. I requested -very- specific help on the grub boot option lol [05:05] !attitude | crivit [05:05] smackmanic, are you still having grub problems? does grub not load when you install? i had that problem because i am using both an ati drive and a sata drive [05:05] you have my EXACT error msgs verbatim on the forum posts. [05:05] crivit: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [05:06] hylian: grub loads, ubuntu won't boot [05:06] stop spaming ubuntu bot [05:06] smackmanic: is there a url for that? [05:06] I need to edit the boot...but it's been a bit since I've messed with this machine, I've no idea what I'm doing, I tried editing a few times, I'm sure I'm doing it wrong [05:06] ati drive, i yiy yiy, eidi. [05:06] smackmanic: and from busybox this won't be done, so either hook the cd to another sys or consider backup/fresh install [05:06] DasEi: why are you dodging my grub edit LOL [05:07] Gnea: certainly. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1454385.html [05:07] notice it's the ubuntu forums. telling me how to fix it. [05:07] smackmanic is it giving you an error, what exactly is it doing? [05:07] hylian: when you jump from 8.04 to the latest ver it messes with your boot options. some weird bug that they haven't taken out [05:08] won't recognize the UUID (ubuntu is pretty uuid-centric, which makes it hard for me to understand how to fix the boot) [05:08] smackmanic: just fix it to use the /dev - there's only like two places [05:08] and the 2nd to last post has the fix [05:09] Random832: right, I believe I'm typing it wrong, though. [05:09] [assuming that you don't have the scsi/usb situation that amkes the uuids necessary] [05:09] smackmanic this should not happen, but i have seen it one time before (don't ask me how) but the uuid changed when i went from ubu 6 to ubu 8. [05:09] that's what I've been trying to get help with...I believe I'm editing the boot incorrectly [05:09] smackmanic: oh WOW, that's quite a problem.. [05:09] smackmanic: what are you doing? [05:09] current version of ubuntu? or most stable version is? [05:10] hylian: yeah..seems to be a jump update bug, reccurring, just like me sound modules ;) [05:10] smackmanic have another os you can check the uuid with? [05:10] smackmanic: see my last comment, from that state can use a manual root (e inn grub), but won't access anything else [05:10] not exactly hylian [05:10] DasEi: hold on [05:10] smackmanic what happens when you use the generic drive "name" instead, like /dev/sdb1/ ? [05:11] DasEi, Hey , what you said didn't work =S [05:11] DasEi: are you saying e grub is completely useless? [05:11] ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Invalid argument @DasEi [05:11] smackmanic: you're currently talking froma box , which os ? usb stick around ? [05:11] hylian, i get errors...i think i'm just doing something incorrectly tho [05:11] sigh [05:11] a box [05:12] smackmanic: no, it's not, you can pass the location of /boot there [05:12] hola [05:12] smackmanic maybe fstab is screwed up? i had that problem before. an ugly fix is to boot from the ubuntu cd and then copy over the cd's fstab. but it works. [05:12] DasEi....okay then...which is what the post is about... [05:13] hylian: right, the issue is that this machine does not have enough space for the livecd nor do I have blanks atm [05:13] the easiest route would be to CORRECT the boot info and then perm fix it all once ur actually in ubuntu [05:13] what errors? in grub or after? [05:13] Random832: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1454385.html there ya go mate, have a gander, it's fun to read [05:13] smackmanic, dang. heh, if i was ther i would you damn small linux, cause once it's booted you can remove the cd. lol. [05:14] but no, after grub [05:14] hylian, lol DSL ftw [05:14] smackmanic, what's the problem you're having? [05:14] chilli0: did you set a dir /media/media and owned it to regular user ? [05:14] smackmanic i dont know waht ftw means. [05:14] I just want to fix my grub boot options...I'm obviously too stupid to correctly edit it though, I'm either formatting it wrong or something is just 'off' [05:14] hylian: for the win. [05:14] can't mount the root device or something like that? [05:15] cwillu_at_work: see link. [05:15] nope [05:15] nothing seems to mount [05:15] ok, what edits are you trying to make to the grub conf exactly? you didn't answer before [05:15] do you know what /dev device it usually is? [05:15] /dev/sda1 or something like that? [05:15] as in, _what_ exactly did you replace with _what_ [05:15] DasEi, I'm checking that now. [05:15] can you boot it from the grub prompt if you edit it from hand at the actual prompt? [05:15] HOLA ALGUIEN HABLA ESPANOL [05:16] cwillu_at_work: I know on this machine ubuntu was installed second. it's a dual boot with windows [05:16] !es | administrador [05:16] administrador: 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. [05:16] so I have to assume sda2, but I could be completely wrong [05:16] DasEi, Ehhh. It's owned to : 0 [05:16] smackmanic: uh... is there a way to check? boot the livecd? [05:16] cwillu_at_work: I'm trying to do that, if I understand you correctly [05:16] smackmanic, I have to run right away, but if you're still around in an hour or two, I can pretty much guarantee we can get it fixed [05:16] [actually, fstab _should_ say in a comment] [05:16] again, livecd is NOT an option atm [05:16] lol [05:16] smackmanic, do you know if you're running grub 1 or 2? [05:16] 1 [05:16] (1.97 or whatever counts as 2) [05:17] smackmanic: well, how _are_ you getting in to edit the conf? [05:17] im below 2 for sure [05:17] chilli0: sudo chown -R ('$user') /media/media [05:17] i'm confused now [05:17] im just pressing e when im on grub [05:17] smackmanic, are you around in a couple hours? [05:17] editing it [05:17] then pressing b [05:17] smackmanic i am assuming you tried restoring grub? [05:17] cwillu_at_work: at this rate, eys [05:17] *yes [05:17] smackmanic, try variations of root=/dev/sda2 [05:17] rather than root=UUID=asdfasdfasdfas [05:17] hylian: nah uh, I can't update or install anything in this shape.. [05:18] step through 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 [05:18] and try different drives, too - sda5 maybe [05:18] if you don't know [05:18] whats ubuntu server? is that with a webpage server built-in? like taking a ubuntu desktop distro and something like apache server and fusing the 2 together? [05:18] if it doesn't work by five, give up until I get back :p [05:18] chilli0: sudo chown -R $USER /media/media ,wrong os ^ [05:18] i tried 1 and 2....im not even messing with the UUIDs [05:18] smackmanic, if you're still in channel, I'll send you a pm [05:18] I will say that it automatically goes back to (hd0,4) [05:18] DasEi, kay. Wont work right now =P I dont have sudo set up. [05:18] itsux2bu: it's another flavor of ubu, server-orientated [05:18] editing it from there isn't permanent [05:19] which I'm not sure wth is going on there, i thought it should say 0,0 [05:19] smackmanic, you've been able to boot it though? [05:19] cost money? [05:19] cwillu...get those errors and get sent to busybox shell [05:19] okay [05:19] so depends on how ya wanna look at it === dioms_ is now known as dioms [05:19] !who | itsux2bu: nope [05:19] itsux2bu: nope: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [05:19] 0,4 corresponds to /dev/sda5 (a = 0, 4 = 5 (counting from 1 instead of 0) [05:19] okay, I'll be back in a bit :) [05:19] cwillu_at_work: so mayue 5 then, eh? [05:20] smackmanic, can't hurt to try [05:20] chilli0: how's that ? see man visudo [05:20] maybe 5 shall be our lucky number [05:20] hylian: I have a question you could probably answer [05:20] DasEi, Got it now. But still not happening. I tried sudo mount -a [05:20] chilli0: how did you edit fstab then ? [05:20] it's about the formatting of the boot option [05:20] ubottu, if i download ubuntu server.. can i install apache on it? [05:20] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:20] DasEi, Logged in as root.

[05:22] bleh I'll wing it, but I swear I'm formatting the option wrong....but maybe not [05:22] hey, I have a weird problem, each time I hit shut down, it restarts :S any cause? I think this came out since the last upgrade a couple of days ago [05:22] brb [05:22] smackmainc i was trying to dig up a bit of code for grub i found this: /sbin/grub-install --recheck /dev/hda. this sometimes helps. what was your question [05:22] DasEi, I did install ntfs-3g yeah. http://pastebin.com/7kcUprpQ [05:23] i upgraded to a newer kernel, 2.6.35, from 2.6.33. now both my monitor can't be detected using the Monitor manager. is there a way to fix this? if not, how could i revert back to my old kernel 2.6.33? [05:23] chilli0: that's not the line I gave you.. [05:23] anvoid, you can select the older kernel in grub [05:23] and then delete it [05:23] DasEi, O= Some one else said to change it after my bad.

I think this came out since the last upgrade a couple of days ago [05:27] Cool * === bgs100 is now known as bgs000 [05:27] the_fool: do you have padevchooser installed? [05:27] How can I add something to my PATH? [05:27] how do i uninstall fonts [05:28] adalal, give me one sec I'll check [05:28] what is the general command line way to set up a bash script to run at startup [05:28] the_fool: or try pavucontrol [05:28] adalal, no I'll install it now [05:28] oh yeah, pavucontrol..

DasEi mentioned it'd have to already be root considered im editing it..but i am suspicious [05:29] sorry running android from virtualbox locked up ubuntu, lol. [05:29] !ubottu path [05:30] it's either I'm formatting the strings wrong, (possible) or grub on boot is not root. I'm not familair with grub, so that could be complete rubbish... [05:30] adalal, k about to try it, hope it works thanks a bunch :) [05:30] smackmanic actually i read something on it, i thin the command to allow it to run as root is/was chroot /mnt/drive (drive neing like, sda1, etc) but dont quote me on that === oMg-iTz-eX is now known as ExcruciationX [05:30] adalal: the kernel i'm removing is the one i'm currently running on. if i remove it, will ubuntu revert back to another version automatically or will my system become unstable? [05:30] i might even be into rm -rf this thing but hey can't get to /home to backup anything ! lol [05:31] Anvoid: it will become unstable.. [05:31] smackmanic: one last time: in your current state, initramfs drops you to busybox, so any checks necessary won't work from there, so first find a suitable way to acces the fs on the hd [05:31] hylian_...I'll google it [05:31] anyone having bandwidth limited with usb modem connections [05:31] Anvoid: you need to be on a different kernel (ideally, the one that's working properly) [05:31] DasEi, Sweet as. That seems to have mounted fine and all good. Only thing now is samba not playing nicely with it. path=/media/media/Movies [05:31] the modem gives around 200KBps on windows [05:31] DasEi: yeah...which is why I said earlier, busybox is not so useful IMO [05:31] adalal, now there's no sound... [05:32] the_fool: even with the headphones? [05:32] but on ubuntu lucid, its max is around 54KBps [05:32] here's a shell, now go boot in livecd. haha [05:32] the_fool: what are the ports present?

[05:33] the_fool: do you get sound on the headphone on the output port? [05:34] chilli0: you speak about smb.conf ? [05:34] adalal, no before I would get sound through laptop even when speakers are plugged in. now I picked analog headphones and when speaker is plugged in I get no sound at all, don't know if this is a step in the right or wrong direction : / [05:34] hylian_: bleh I'm just googling this root grub stuff...I had a big suspicious that i needed to do root myself [05:34] DasEi, This is the part of the file for samba. http://pastebin.com/VzAQP323 [05:34] but i'd be told twice by someone here that of course grub automatically is root.eh [05:34] DasEi, Yeah I do =O [05:34] the_fool: no no, what I meant is that did you get sound on the headphones and the speakers on the output mode? [05:34] smackmanic ohh yeah, in order to use chroot, you have to be root, true. he he, oops [05:35] the_fool: or just the speakers, and not the headphones? [05:35] adalal, oh, just laptop [05:35] smackmanic but you are not signed in as grub though. [05:35] the_fool: go on the terminal, and go to alsa_mixer [05:35] wait [05:35] hylian_: I'm just so unfamiliar with grub...gotta figure out a way to ensure i'm root when editing grub so i can rule out the errors being bogus [05:36] smackmanic i could request a cd for you, LOL. [05:36] chilli0: no blanks guest = ..., and the subdir Movies exist ? not movies or sth ? [05:36] the_fool: hit 'alsamixer' (w/o the quotes) [05:36] because that was the first thing I read on ubuntuhowto guide for grub (yes, I read all of this before asking questions.) [05:36] the_fool: and keep pavucontrol up on the side as well [05:36] hylian_, nah, I could get a disk..I'm just trying to fix it in less than a month [05:36] smackmanic so what happens if you try to sudo su? [05:36] DasEi, Yeah Movies does exist. I want anyone be able to access that so guest = everyone? [05:36] well I have not tried sudo or su in grub cmd line [05:37] but busybox does have not sudo or su [05:37] *does not [05:37] adalal, ok got both up [05:37] it's actually quite a lazybox [05:37] the_fool: what are the levels in the alsamixer? [05:37] sudo makes you superuser [05:37] su is used to switch user [05:37] timon: I am aware [05:37] smackmanic busybox? i thought that was another distro, arent you trying to fix a ubuntu grub install? [05:37] chilli0: guest ok = yes to guest ok=yes , and cd && cd /media/media/Movies (??/home/media/media/media/Movies!!) works ? [05:37] * maco thinks sudo should be aliased to simonsays [05:38] Cant watch movie DVDs anymore. Im running Lucid and my movie player starts then suddenly stops. Any help would be greatly helpful. [05:38] hylian_: busybox is apparrently what comes up when everything fails [05:38] So why you asking? [05:38] I'm not entirely should how it's helpful, because even the busybox defenders tell me to get a livecd. [05:38] smackmanic hmm, interesting. [05:38] adalal, master: 90, headphone: 100 pcm: 99 other 3: 0 [05:38] teage: start vlc from trml, message error output [05:38] On the brand new installed desktop there's a rectangle called Desktop Folder. I accidentally X'd it away and can't get it back. But I can still put icons and files on the background window. So, what doe Desktop Folder do for me and do I need / should I want it back? [05:38] exit [05:39] but I appreciate ubuntu not including fsck with busybox. must've slipped their minds when they edited it out of the standard busybox package lol [05:39] K DasEi [05:39] the_fool: each time you switch the port on pavucontrol, those levels switch as well... I suggest you try and manipulate some of the levels on alsamixer, esp. the headphone, pcm and other [05:40] the_fool: literally configure the volumes for each port [05:40] adalal, k i'll check it out, thanks a ton for the support :) [05:40] DasEi, cd && cd /media/media/Movies works fine yes. I think its somethign to do with the perms on the files. Because I have another folder that I'm sharing and the same settings work fine. [05:40] smackmanic uuis mismatches are way more common than i had come to believe. this might be your problem. [05:40] I'll be right back. I need to smoke a nasty cigarette so I can concentrate on reading all this grub info [05:40] hylian_: before ubuntu i'd never even seen UUIDs used like this.. [05:41] chilli0: so if no security concerns hinder you, chown the whole /media/media to user media again [05:41] so i'm completely unfam with how that all works [05:41] Shall do.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [05:42] smackmanic i prefer them, if you have more than one drive like me, and they are mismatches, ubuntu has a terrible habit of turning a sda1 on one boot to a sdb1 on the next, and then ubuntu says it cant mount sda1 because it doesnt exist. uuid stops this, my personal beast.

I am doing this whole thing for a lot of clients , windows , ubuntu , and mac clients. [05:52] DasEi, That way sounds best.

[05:55] chilli0: sudo chmod -R 777 /media/media/Movies/ [05:55] erik14213us i dont know, but you can report this as a bug, although it might already exist as a bug... [05:55] ZykoticK9, i don't know [05:55] hylian_: coincidentally, -this- is reported as bug...and was moved over to questions [05:55] ridin, is audio working?

[05:56] chilli0, if that is on a FAT/NTFS it won't understand linux permissions. [05:57] It's NTFS however its mounted under ntfs-3g [05:57] hylian_: stop feeding the troll [05:57] hmm - this driving me nutes [05:57] so linux themn aint for older hardware [05:57] ubuntu i meant [05:57] jfcaron, Considering that the .tar.gz is an archive, you have to decompress the whole thing. If there are compresed files within that, it should not uncompress them automatically. [05:57] ridin, does "apt-cache policy indicator-sound" show as installed? [05:57] smackmanic have you ever seen ubuntu's #1 bug? :) it's ms windows. they say the fix is to install ubuntu ;) [05:57] When theres a monitor plugged into my Dell 650 - 10.04 gives me a larger resolution - when its headless - it only gives me 800x600 over VNC [05:57] any ideas?

[05:57] hylian_: grant you this, ubuntu over windows ANY day [05:57] if u got to in an edit grub [05:57] hi [05:57] chilli0: no, once samba let's you acces and list the dir, these are the local permissions then, errm smb.conf >> create mask = 0700 change into 777 [05:58] Mark-I who is thr troll, im just trying to be friendly/helpfull, sorry [05:58] Derragon: So I'll have to tar -xzf the archive, then gzip the individual files after that? [05:58] even though ubuntu completely screws me over on audio....in ways that it has control over, not an issue of needing to catch up [05:58] i still dig it [05:58] I got a problem with MonoDevelop, the Toolbox is empty. How can resolve it? [05:58] chilli0: 777 is world _writable_, you know this? [05:58] sweetpi, Yes. [05:58] ZykoticK9, i see "Installed: (none)" so i assume i don't have it [05:58] jfcaron, That seems right, yes. The compressed files have just been put into an archive so you don't have to download them all separately, most likely. [05:58] smackmanic i had to use 8.04 till 2 months ago. no support for my ati x1300. i finally went nividia. [05:58] anybody know anyhting about pam face authentication [05:58] ridin, install it then ;) [05:59] DasEi, sudo smb.conf >> create mask = 0700 change into 777 create Perm dened [05:59] hylian_: right...i just made the jump from 8.04..ALTHOUGH grub is actually listing it as 8.04 still.. [05:59] Derragon: Ok thanks. [05:59] s [05:59] somebody help me..! I got a problem with MonoDevelop, the Toolbox is empty. How can resolve it? [05:59] jfcaron, No problem. [05:59] will worry about that when i get there lol [06:00] smackmanic, Updating Ubuntu only updates the actual files, not the entry listed in the GRUB Bootloader. [06:00] somebody help me..! I got a problem with MonoDevelop, the Toolbox is empty. How can resolve it? [06:00] how do you messsage someone in IRC [06:00] smackmanic, Running grub-update should fix that, though.

[06:01] Is there any real difference in speed between Software RAID and FakeRAID? [06:01] ridin, looks like you have a broken package. try running "sudo apt-get -f install" and see if it helps. [06:01] heh [06:01] chilli0: I wouldn't recommend SWAT, as it tends to complicate things [06:01] Ohok. [06:02] smackmanic thats why if it's at all significant (more than one release) i do a fresh install. to many bugs in gapped distro updates [06:02] well, Derragon, that is usual info I was wondering, thanks [06:02] hylian, What I'm thinking is that GRUB is still trying to load the old kernel, etc. He'd have to update GRUB with all of the information for the current version of Ubuntu, or do a fres reinstall. [06:02] hylian_, my other...ubuntu...updates so nicely [06:02] ZykoticK9, just sudo apt-get -f install? [06:02] hylian_: hey dont worry, just that we offered help and instead of trying they just rant and cry [06:02] =( [06:02] anyone here familiar with the use of awk command. [06:02] ridin, yup "sudo apt-get -f install" [06:02] say, would someone be able to offer their interpretation of this (chroot problem) http://paste.linuxassist.net/215387 ? [06:03] MaRk-I: understood, thanx. [06:03] what Im thinking is I have 3 different forum posts with the same fix that doesnt require updating grub just yet [06:03] DasEi, So basicly I have to change the perms of the files to 777? [06:03] however grub update is manual in ubuntu, so even so, i would update..reboot..grub needs to be updated but grub won't boot anything...so that actually makes no sense to me [06:03] no one here uses RAID? === tensorpu1ding is now known as tensorpudding [06:04] magnesium: no, who'd bother with that? [06:04] right now I'm just trying to collect what I need for the next dive.... i guesss hd0,4 needds to be hd0,1 [06:04] toolbear: Well me, I'm setting up a server for my department. [06:04] now i just need to figure out how to make absolutely sure im root using grub so that I'll know the error msgs arent bogus [06:04] all about ruling things out [06:04] ZykoticK9: http://pastebin.com/MTSDm5zL [06:04] Planning on installing Ubuntu Server to a 15,000 rpm SCSI drive [06:04] smackmanic this is totally not the right way to fix this, but, can you uninstall via apt-get and reinstall grub? [06:05] and then setting up a RAID 5 array with 4 250 GB drives [06:05] smackmanic, You should have some form of GRUB's emergency command-line called grub-rescue. Do you get anything like that? [06:05] hylian_ not without livecd/usb [06:05] magnesium: ah, thanks. i've always wondered why people used raid [06:05] unless im mistaken [06:05] ridin, doesn't show any broken packages! try "sudo apt-get install indicator-sound" again [06:05] Derragon, you're the first person who's mentioned that to me [06:06] I don't seem to be able to initialise a twin pack cd game on my system. I am using Ubuntu 10.0.4, and don't know how to install once the prompt comes for the second cd. [06:06] smackmanic i think Derragon is onto something [06:06] im willing to give it a go before i start randomly trying to fix teh boot options again [06:06] smackmanic, I'm not sure if your GRUB was updated to GRUB2, so, you might or might not have grub-rescue. It's a command line built into GRUB if it fails. [06:06] toolbear: Yeah, It's going to be for ftp and lamp, so I'm letting the OS run from the 15000 rpm drive and then people can put all their crap on the RAID array. [06:06] ZykoticK9: indicator-applet is already the newest version. [06:06] grub is updated manually in ubuntu [06:06] the updates do not update grub [06:07] a [06:07] ridin, indicator-applet or indicator-sound? [06:07] smackmanic, Considering that you are unable to boot, I would assume that GRUB still has a way to fix itself. Or, you can reinstall GRUB to the hard drive via the Live USB/CD. [06:07] hello [06:07] so I don't know what ver exactly I have, but I'm positive it's not 2 [06:07] ZykoticK9, the sound icon that comes with indicator applet [06:07] i love how all the grub fixes listed online assume you have a ubuntu cd lying around. [06:07] smackmanic, The GRUB installer is built onto all Ubuntu distributions (as far as I know), so you should be able to just reinstall GRUB via that CD/USB. [06:07] hylian_: yah like busybox is so helpful too [06:07] the daily show videos quit working. chrome audio keeps ditching. what a keen system. the project that never ends. [06:07] hello guys.. can you help me how can I change my screen resolution to 1920×1200 [06:07] ridin, i thought you said indicator-sound wasn't installed on your system. [06:08] so no one else here has a RAID array? [06:08] waitt!! [06:08] jrald I've been trying to get help on that for weeks [06:08] do do nothin [06:08] ridin, "apt-cache policy indicator-sound" should show an installed version [06:08] hylian: What system do you know of that doesn't require it like so? [06:08] ZykoticK9, i said the sound-icon wasn't appearing when i added the indicator applet [06:08] Derragon, so basically the older grub doesnt have the emergency/rescue line [06:08] a [06:08] ridin, "Installed: 0.2.3-0ubuntu1" [06:08] recover line when you reboot? [06:08] smackmanic, As far as I know, no. However since you are online I assume you are able to make a live CD/USB. [06:08] how do you fix grub without a live cd? [06:09] !raid [06:09] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [06:09] tripelb, hahaha.. so any luck? [06:09] hylian_, unless you have another version of Ubuntu or something installed on the same computer, as far as I know... you can't. [06:09] ZykoticK9: Installed: (none) Candidate: 0.2.3-0ubuntu1 [06:09] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick is really confusing, im doing the bottom part where you do it all manually and it just says "Next, you open up the ISO file and extract the files in casper directory. The size (and possibly manifest) are needed if you want to install from the USB drive otherwise the install will error out." but doesn't specify where to put the files, what they mean necessarily by extracting, [06:09] etc [06:09] ridin, right it's NOT installed on your system - just install it. [06:09] ridin, good luck. [06:09] Derragon: you'd be wrong but I understand the assumption. I would also assume it for someone else. [06:10] DasEi, How can I samba to give guest access to read , write , list , delete and everything? [06:10] thx MaRk-I [06:10] ZykoticK9, it says i have broken packages just like the first pastebin, i mean exactly [06:10] the issue is that i have at least 3 posts I've found that list the same fix [06:10] did anyone already know how to change screen reslolution [06:10] Derragon thanks. thats too bad. smackmanic doesnt have a live cd. [06:10] Lym: why dont you try with unetbootin instead? [06:10] hi all [06:10] I believe I'm just doing it wrong [06:10] chown -R myusername folder [06:10] it says permsision denied [06:10] why? [06:10] so I need to figure grub out basically.....guess we're gonna go with hd0,1 instead of 0,4 [06:10] magnesium: yw and sorry I dont use raid :P [06:10] smackmanic, Have you considered putting the hard drive containing the affected installation into another computer and fixing it fmo th [06:11] what is the apt command to show all packages I have already installed? [06:11] ........ [06:11] guys.. I want a 1920×1200 resolution in my netbook [06:11] smackmanic, Damn this netbook... fixing it from a computer you are able to boot to? [06:11] BentFranklin, dpkg -l [06:11] hello? [06:11] MaRk-I, i dont know what that is and the connection im on is PAINFULLY slow [06:11] Derragon: if i had another machine around here.... [06:11] MaRk-I: Yeah most people don't :P I've gotten used to emptyness when asking about it [06:11] I'd hook up the ethernet cable [06:11] smackmanic, do you have flash drivers? [06:11] and download the liveusb. [06:11] heh [06:11] Lym: but you already have the .iso dont you? [06:11] ridin, can you install libido-0.1-0 [06:11] What do I need to install into a basic KUbuntu system to make & make install a wifi driver, regarding Kernel source? - anyone have a url with info on that? thanks [06:12] so no live, no testy on other machine [06:12] smackmanic, I am confused... how are you online? [06:12] smackmanic, i think you have grub, not grub 2. you should boot into grub rescue, not busybox... [06:12] MaRk-I, yes [06:12] just grub boot editing [06:12] !unetbootin | Lym [06:12] Lym: 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 [06:12] usb flash drives? [06:12] windows, i have a partition on this machine [06:12] Is there a chat page that is more specific to my needs? [06:12] ZykoticK9: libido-0.1-0 is already the newest version. libido-0.1-0 set to manually installed. [06:12] giov: you building from source code? if so sudo apt-get install buildessential [06:12] hey all [06:12] giov, unlikely you will need to compile it; at worst you would need to install the linux-backports-modules [06:12] Derragon: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1454385.html 2nd to last post is the fix [06:13] smackmanic, Install Linux on your machine via Wubi installer, then use that linux install (which is virtual) to fix GRUB on that machine./ [06:13] hey antonio_ [06:13] When theres a monitor plugged into my Dell 650 - 10.04 gives me a larger resolution - when its headless - it only gives me 800x600 over VNC.. anyone know that one? [06:13] Lym: you're on windows at the moment? [06:13] !hi | antonio_ [06:13] antonio_: 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! [06:13] I'm jsut trying to figure out what boot option I'm messing up...and also if grub is actually in root [06:13] Mr_Sonoma: Iḿ following the instructins here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=244215 , and [06:13] hi could someone tell me how to put in the password in SU comand when ido i get permission denied help please [06:13] MaRk-I, no im using 9.10 [06:13] I'm trying to make a backup of some folders on my lappy...to an ext hd. Some files copied over, but a majority of them didn't. I think it has something to do with the permissions on the drive. I've tried a sudo naut to change the permissions of the drive...but its a no go [06:13] smackmanic can you get into windows? this is quite backwards, but with the ubuntu image and virtualbox, you can actually repair some things. ive done it before [06:13] Derragon: I don't have the space on here otherwise I'd get the liveusb on here. [06:13] giov, thats for fedora [06:13] and here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1455649 [06:13] ridin, sorry man - i'm not sure what's up with your system, but it looks like it has something to do with that libido... whatever that is. sorry man, i have no idea - hope someone else has something for ya ;) good luck man. [06:13] ZykoticK9, i did xfce4-volumed which i have but nothing seemed to happen [06:13] I think there is a misunderstanding [06:14] I have a usb stick that could be used. I -dont- have the space. [06:14] cozone1952: use sudo, there is no root [06:14] ZykoticK9, i know there's a command to hide/show the icon, but i can't seem to remember it [06:14] and literally cannot uninstall enough to clear out [06:14] Lym: just d/l the linux version make it executable http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [06:14] !sudo | cozone1952 [06:14] cozone1952: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [06:14] smackmanic, Man... I really don't see how you got yourself into that situation lol. But now I realize that, since GRUB is just pointing itself to the wrong partition/HDD. xD\ [06:14] ZykoticK9, but thanks anyways :p [06:14] ok thanks [06:14] hmm, brb [06:14] anyone have any idea how I can change the permissions on this ext drive? [06:14] Derragon: yah... so it's a guessing game... do you know how I go root with grub? [06:14] Lym: actually they have a .deb just download it === lobo is now known as Guest29711 [06:15] why is menu.lst blank? i wanted to edit my grub, but it's blank? [06:15] sudo chmod -R user:user * [06:15] i have a window open reading about grub and its prolly there but i have all this scrollback to read too [06:15] hylian_, what version of ubuntu [06:15] smackmanic, GRUB isn't attached to Ubuntu, so you don't need to be root. All you do is have to do is set the root. [06:15] bazhang 10,04 [06:15] hylian_, its not there. check the grub2 wiki [06:15] smackmanic, Which is, as far as I know, either your second or third partition. /dev/sda2 (or 3) [06:15] !grub2 | hylian_ [06:15] hylian_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [06:16] Derragon: okay. well, basically i read that if its not, then the error msgs I get can be bogus [06:16] antonio_, i'm not sure if this is going to help you or not BUT: you don't change permissions on drives, you change them on filesystem/mount points. [06:16] so I don't know which ones are bogus yet [06:16] bazhang, thanks, i guess thinkgs change faster than im usual on this os, will do ;) [06:16] smackmanic,do you have a copy of the iso? and which one is it 32 bit or 64 bit? [06:16] which makes the guessing game useless [06:16] zykotick9: can you tell me how to do that? [06:16] dustin, no iso talks, please. heh [06:16] thanks Mr_sonoma [06:16] lemme read the scrollback [06:16] my head is spinning [06:16] smackmanic, Well, you can try setting whatever has 'root=' in it to 'root=/dev/sda2 or 3. At this point, it's a guessing game. [06:16] Derragon: [06:17] hwo do i change chown? [06:17] antonio_, where is it mounted? type "mount" in a terminal if you aren't sure. and are you sure it's EXT and not VFAT/NTFS? [06:17] i can't do that [06:17] permission denied [06:17] did you sudo first? [06:17] how to install open office? [06:17] aaaa, He's not in Ubuntu. He's trying to boot into Ubuntu, which means he doesn't need to have permission. [06:17] aaaa, change chown? do you mean how do i use chown to change permissions? [06:17] it might not be ext zykotick9: [06:17] mint, which version of ubuntu [06:17] I have download openoffice already. But i don't know how tu install it [06:18] sudo chown -R user:user * [06:18] minhthing, sudo apt-get install openoffice.org\ [06:18] err sorry mint minhthong which version of ubuntu [06:18] drwxrwsr-x 18 areshkin gekcogrp 879 Jun 19 19:11 pubs_src [06:18] antonio_, "mount" would show you. if it's not ext i can't help... [06:18] where user:user is your login [06:18] hey hylian_ Derragon [06:18] minhthing, Without the slash of course. [06:18] thanks [06:18] minhthong: go to software center, search openoffice, click install [06:18] there are three set of "xxx"xxx"xxx [06:18] Derragon: okay..so..ubuntu was installed second...so we're gonna go with hd0,1 I believe? [06:18] what does the last one mean? [06:18] zykotick9: if it wasn't ext would I have been able to add stuff to the drive at all? [06:18] everyone can read write and excute [06:18] smackmanic, /dev/sda1. Ubuntu doesn't work like Windows in that sense. [06:19] now...with that being ..uhh my head hurts. could someone find me an example of the boot? [06:19] antonio_, yes... [06:19] minhthong: sudo apt-get install openoffice [06:19] Derragon, okay, so I WOULD erase HD [06:19] zykotick9: its a vfat [06:19] smackmanic not neccessarily, i have 2 hard drives, with multiple partitions, non of which are hd0. all of which are sda, sdb. [06:19] anybody know how to align left the title bar text on window frames?? [06:19] in Gnome [06:19] thanks everyone [06:19] smackmanic, Well, no. Changing the root thing is just changing where GRUB will look to grab the boot information. [06:19] hylian_: that is because they are SCSI and not IDE no? [06:19] is there a lunix that will recover my data, if i cant boot up? [06:19] antonio_, sorry i can't help with that. good luck. [06:19] now im a bit more confused [06:19] sorry guys I haven't slept in a little over 48 hrs [06:20] running low on brain energy [06:20] tik actually one is sata and one is ata. [06:20] zykotick9: just you...or is this something that can't be done? [06:20] ........ [06:20] dustin: any livecd.. i recommend DSL [06:20] Derragon: [06:20] how do you get the dvd player to work so i can paly dvd movies? [06:20] Can some one please help me before I kill my self. This stupid samba has retarded perms. I have set mask to 777 but still I can frking open the files./ [06:20] I do know for sure that it was SD something before it got effed [06:20] thats what i ment sata not SCSI [06:20] smackmanic, As far as I know, when you updated Ubuntu, the GRUB got a little bugged and is looking to the wrong place to boot up from. Changing root= will make GRUB boot from where you tell it to. Kinda' like with the Windows XP bootloader's thing. [06:20] !dvd > hasek79 [06:20] hasek79, please see my private message [06:20] so sd2 would be most likely for a second partition? [06:20] hasek79: sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [06:20] tik thanks going to check it out [06:21] Mr_Sonoma, he needs medibuntu for that [06:21] smackmanic, /dev/sda2 or something should be it, yes. I'm positive it's /dev/sd something. [06:21] tik, actually, for some strange reason ubuntu refers to them as scsi in several places, although non of them are, i dont try and figure out ubuntu any more, i just go with the flow [06:21] antonio_, VFAT is microsoft - i don't help with MS compatibility issues (i don't use any MS myself). VFAT cannot use any linux permissions at all, and the permissions on the drive are determined by the mount command used. Best of luck. [06:21] bazhang: DOH! forgot that [06:21] hmm.... [06:21] the !dvd has it though [06:21] this stinks [06:21] hahahah [06:22] Derragon: I strongly believe it's 2 or 5, and im leaning towards to but for whatever reason it lists hd0,4 right now. not sure if that was me or a bug or it's correct [06:22] does anyone have any idea how to change permissions on a vfat formatted drive with ubuntu? [06:22] anyone have any idea on why android on virtualbox would make ubuntu (the host) hang? [06:22] and someone said hd 4 would be sd 4 [06:22] *5 [06:22] chilli0: you want a samba share that allows anyone to add/remove files? [06:22] but i believe it's 2. 2 sounds more fam (I dont use this machine a lot) [06:22] antonio_, vfat has no permissions [06:22] okay...so....i would edit the hd line? sorry I think I asked this a sec ago.... [06:22] sweetpi, That's what I did say. [06:23] smackmanic, Well, since you're still in Windows, it's going to show it how Windows shows it. Unless you have already pressed e to get into where you need to be, it's not going to show you how GRUB shows it. [06:23] otherwise it looks like i'd have two root lines. but I'm not sure [06:23] bazhang: so am I kind of screwed then? [06:23] antonio_, care to recap? I missed the earlier bit [06:23] Derragon: i've been regularly restarting it and going into edit [06:23] chilli0: just making sure, i havent been paying attention [06:23] well [06:23] sweetpi, Ok , so you know how? [06:23] I have set the mask to 777. [06:23] chilli0: yes [06:23] how can i have the help of Ubuntu Vietnam? [06:23] Derragon: suspisious that it's returning bogus errors because it's set root [06:23] =D [06:24] so.......okay, gottta try to condense this now [06:24] I'm trying to make a backup of certain folders (home etc and usr) because this lappy is totally wrecked (screen cracked)... [06:24] minhthong, /join #ubuntu-vn [06:24] !vn | minhthong [06:24] minhthong: Để được trợ giúp về Ubuntu bằng ngôn ngữ Việt, xin vui lòng /join #ubuntu-vn. Rất vui lòng được giúp đỡ [06:24] I used luckbackup to try to backup the stuff...was getting errors..some of them about chown...etc [06:24] chilli0: pastebin your smb.conf, and the permissions that are on the directory you want to share [06:24] smackmanic, Well... I'd help, but I do need to get going right now. Sorry. [06:24] hello?? [06:24] anyone here? [06:24] haha..perfect timing [06:24] How can I show the perms from cli? [06:24] Derragon: appreciate the piece about the numbers not being updated tho [06:24] was worried [06:25] aslo how do i make myself the owner or the system [06:25] smackmanic "SCSI or SATA or USB drives will be designated "sda", "sdb", "sdc" and so on." although my eide (ata) is listed as sdb1. [06:25] smackmanic, No kidding... I'm working on my netbook right now with its install, adding some things and such. [06:25] chilli0, "ls -l" that's an L ;) [06:25] i am the admin but im not the owner [06:25] chilli0: ls -ald pathtodirectory [06:25] hylian_ positive it's sda....and almost as positive it's 2 [06:25] ZykoticK9, i got the sound icon to appear! [06:25] sweetpi, smb config http://pastebin.com/He2e8MGS [06:26] ridin, what was it? [06:26] smackmanic, But, best of luck to you. Hope you get it working. [06:26] so..anyway...how do I set the root again? I'm assuming I go into the grub commandline [06:26] Derragon: I will. one way or another. rm -rf peace bro [06:26] alt + f2 gnome-volume-control-applet [06:26] smackmanic, Entering the edit part of GRUB via pressing 'e' during boot. Should be able to edit it from there. [06:26] ridin, that's the old version... just sayin' [06:26] what was the command again? [06:26] bazhang: any idea how I can actually backup everything I need...my backup drive is a vfat [06:26] sorry I know you already answered..so did hylian_ [06:26] ZykoticK9: :( [06:26] info overload [06:27] sweetpi, drwxrwxrwx 1 media root 81920 2010-07-28 23:20 , /media/media/Movies drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2010-07-31 03:38 /home/media/Music [06:27] setting the root is going to be the most important part heh [06:27] smackmanic, Well, you should be getting something that shows you all of the entries or something... I don't know, I never got into it until I was already using GRUB2. Sorry.\ [06:27] can anyone tell me whats wrong with smackmanic, computer? [06:27] Music shares works fine, the other one doesnt. [06:27] ZykoticK9, it's default on start-up, so... [06:27] hey dude [06:27] i need to know whats the different with ubuntu 32bit and 64bit. I got AMD turion 64x2 in my laptop. Why in the ubuntu download page 64bit in not recommended for daily desktop usage? [06:27] has anyone here tried recording a video using a webcam in linux? [06:27] Derragon: already, well, thats what google is for [06:27] dustin: we'll get it figured out, im certain its a guessing game after I set the root =) [06:28] MaRk-I, is it supposed to get stuck at 5% for a while? [06:28] skumara: someone mentioned to me something along the lines of flash not working too well on 64 bit... [06:28] antonio_, flash stick or actual usb hdd [06:28] skumara, Most of the people don't have over 4GB of RAM, which is the maximum about 32-bit systems support. if your laptop has over 4GB of RAM, use 64-bit because it supports it. Bye. [06:28] 500 gig usb hdd [06:28] redvil, tried camorama? [06:28] antonio_, why vfat for that and not ntfs? [06:28] bazhang: thnx..i will look into it [06:28] derragon i have just 4GB RAM [06:28] skumara, personally i think the "not recommended" on the web site is a bug - and look it's already filed as one ;) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940 [06:28] smackmanic this should get you to be root, (you just arent chaging the root password): http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub [06:29] I think it came formatted like that..never changed it [06:29] Lym: depends on the USB but yes looks like it gets stuck for a bit [06:29] hey MaRk-I [06:29] you here? [06:29] i can't do chmod [06:29] why [06:29] bazhang: it says it only captures still images? [06:29] tell me dude [06:29] antonio_, well vfat has file size limitations of 4GB iirc [06:29] aaaa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:29] chilli0: and what are the permissions on a file you cant open? [06:29] bazhang: [06:29] ah that I can only xfer 4gbs at a time? [06:30] hylian_: thanks hylian_, swear my brain is getting sketchy [06:30] aaaa you might have to sudo chmod. [06:30] sweetpi: i can't "chmod" [06:30] why hylian_ [06:30] sweetpi, The whole thing is retarded. On music I can't add files but I can remove. [06:30] !details | aaaa [06:30] aaaa: 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 ..." [06:30] ive tried to add a new folder to my desktop pictures folder and it says i cant b/c im not the owner. how do i make myself the owner??? [06:30] i have to actually type this url out..or this java bs will crash lol [06:30] anyone here knows a app for making videos with webcam? [06:30] redvil, perhaps I misread your question; did you wish to record your desktop or capture video through your webcam [06:30] redvil: try cheese [06:30] aaaa, what filesystem are you using? you can't chmod on any windows NTFS/FAT filesystems. [06:31] chmod: WARNING: can't change pubs_src [06:31] i'm on linux [06:31] i can't chmod ZykoticK9 [06:31] redvil: go and download cheese..works great [06:31] bazhang: i wanted to record video using my webcam. [06:31] pubs_src is a folder [06:31] try sud first [06:31] sudo [06:31] devil: go and download cheese [06:31] !enter | aaaa [06:31] aaaa: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:31] antonio_: thnx..i will try that one [06:31] ok bazhang [06:31] ZykoticK9: any clue? [06:32] bazhang: you were saying...theres a 4gig limit..is that being only able to xfer 4 gigs at a time.. [06:32] aaaa what they mean is are you chmod'ing on a ntfs, a ext4, etc. are you on ubuntu's drive or are you trying to do this on windows drive? [06:32] dud you try sudo chmod a+r dir ? [06:32] Sorry, user "username" is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/chmod 777 pubs_src' as root on shay.ecn.purdue.edu. [06:32] how do i figure out the host name? [06:32] or a max size on a vfag drive of 4gigs? === Guest86027 is now known as Iqbal [06:32] i'm on linux [06:32] hylian_: [06:32] you can chmod on ntfs... [06:32] antonio_, I was unclear, 4GB file size not transfer [06:32] tik what you mean? [06:32] frick... [06:32] im guessing no one knows then???? [06:32] i don't own the folder [06:33] antonio_: have u tried CHEESE? does it save video in .avi format? [06:33] bazhang: so each file can be no bigger than 4gb right? [06:33] someone has the ownership of that folder [06:33] chilli0: so your only problem is you cant add files? [06:33] antonio_, yep [06:33] Which is better ubuntu 9.10 or 10.04?? [06:33] aaaa what they are asking is not what os you are on, but what format the hard drive is where you have your files saved. is it a windows drive? did you format it when you installed ubuntu? [06:33] sudo chmod a+r dir [06:33] jc1, get the more recent version [06:33] hey hylian_ [06:33] hasek79, chown [06:33] i am newbie to linux [06:33] how do i figure out the host name for a network configuration menu?? [06:33] how do i check? [06:33] for all read access [06:33] aaaa: you cant chmod files/folders on a server that isnt yours [06:33] sweetpi, No. I can't play the movies. Music just cant add new files. [06:33] it's a server [06:33] bazhang: do you know of any kind of backup program that will backup everything..and when it comes to a file that is larger than 4 gigs, it will split it up...then rejoin it later? [06:34] i cant add a folder so i can d/l pics to put in it [06:34] jc1: if you're updating have a livecd on hand!!! =p [06:34] aaaa, please stop with the enter key [06:34] hey MaRk-I [06:34] chilli0: what are the permissions on movie file you cant play? [06:34] only the one who creates the folder can set the permission? [06:34] no [06:34] sweetpi, Ill see. [06:34] root can set it too [06:34] i don't have root [06:34] o [06:34] except root,who can set it? [06:34] aaaa: that's not ubuntu specific problem, ask your university for permissions (which I doubt they do?) [06:34] redvil: not sure what format it saves in..check it out....then see if you can export it to a format you can use..or a format that you can change/convert [06:35] the owner [06:35] hey MaRk-I [06:35] antonio_, not sure of your situation; the drive in question can be reformatted? [06:35] sweetpi, There is about 300-400 movies. -rw------- 1 root root 1520173056 2009-12-12 00:40 /media/media/Movies/assignmnet.avi [06:35] antonio_: ok..thanks again [06:35] Question: Are there any known issues with the icons in the notifybar/taskbar becoming invisible? I'm experiencing it regularly on 2 different machines. [06:35] aaaa sudo makes you root, unless this server isnt yours. in which case if it is yours, your password would do it. [06:35] chilli0, only root can read that assignment.avi file! [06:35] hasek79, you should be the owner [06:35] chilli0: chmod -R a+r /media/media/Movies [06:35] bazhang: maybe..got to xfer a ton of things to the new lappy.. [06:35] bazhang I used to have the 9.04 but I think the karmic was worse than 9.04 (because I can't change the GDM on karmic and another troubles that I had...) [06:35] guess I'll try that :( [06:35] but im not [06:36] sweetpi, chmod: changing permissions of `/media/media/Movies/assigmnet.avi': Operation not permitted [06:36] hasek79, this is not your computer then? [06:36] chilli0: ah.. ntfs? [06:36] but it is [06:36] chilli0, use sudo [06:36] Yeah. [06:36] bazhang: if I copy everything over to my new lappy...then format the drive...I can put all of the files on there without any kind of problem, right? [06:36] there is only 1 user on it and its me [06:36] chilli0: paste your fstab entry [06:36] hasek79, are your permissions somehow messed up? [06:36] Bonjour tout le monde [06:36] chilli0: if I'm not mistaken you have to add users to the samba conf... http://www.bunkerhollow.com/blogs/matt/archive/2010/07/17/ubuntu-10-04-samba-file-share-configuration.aspx [06:36] idk and idk how to fix them [06:37] !fr | jibis [06:37] jibis: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [06:37] jibis, english here please; french in #ubuntu-fr [06:37] bazhang and potuguese?? [06:37] i know this is dangerous, but i wuld love a linux distro where the end user has permissions to everything automatically. but the it would be called lindows, right? [06:37] sweetpi, /dev/sdb1 /media/media ntfs user,auto 0 0 [06:37] thank you [06:37] jc1, #ubuntu-pt or #ubuntu-br [06:38] chilli0, you can't apply linux permission to ntfs file systems [06:38] bazhang are you using ubuntu 10.04?? [06:38] chilli0: close anything accessing /media/media and unmount it [06:38] jc1, yep [06:38] ZykoticK9, Even If it's mounted the way I have done it? [06:38] chilli0, if it's ntfs it won't work! [06:38] chilli0, not with chmod [06:38] bazhang is it easy to change the box login?? [06:38] chilli0: change fstab to say "user,auto,umask=022" [06:39] chilli0 have you installed ntfs-config? [06:39] chilli0: then mount again [06:39] jc1, the gdm2 greeter? not really, but not an issue as that is on for just a couple of seconds [06:40] sweetpi, Anyway to force unmount it? [06:41] chilli0: yes, but dont. maybe stop samba? [06:41] bazhang I'm installing 9.04 on my pc... [06:41] ey hylian...this seems backwards...wants me to set all the boot info correctly before i set the root...? [06:41] hylian_: nevermind, missed one sentence [06:41] Still busy sweetpi [06:42] damn, so basically go to recovery mode.. [06:42] smackmanic um, what exactly do you mean? i cant see your current set up, so i wuld suggest currently doing what your gut says to do. [06:42] chilli0: lsof | grep /media/media [06:42] i would love a "my kernel is tainted" t-shirt. [06:42] hylian_nah I missed a sentence disregard the statement about it being backwards. or question rather [06:42] yes, yes [06:42] bazhang I have the 10.04 but even the live session I tried...but I'll try later [06:42] sweetpi, I got 4 entry's , Bash , lsof grep and lsof. [06:43] * smackmanic breathes [06:43] so recov mode...then guessing game [06:43] smackmanic how do you emote in irc? i just type [06:43] chilli0: ok, you have a shell in the directory. cd / [06:43] type /me [06:43] sweetpi, Done =P [06:43] followed by the txt [06:44] jc1, issue with live cd you could try the alternate cd [06:44] okay remounted. sweetpi [06:44] chilli0: ok check permission on file again [06:44] * hylian_ is crossing his fingers for smackmanic [06:44] hylian_ my concern now here is....the fix says to edit the root= entry....my root= entry is the one with hd0,4 right now...am i actually erasing the hd part out and replacing it with /dev/sda2 (or whatever mine might be) ? [06:44] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1520173056 2009-12-12 00:40 /media/media/Movies/assignment.avi [06:45] chilli0: ok now you should be able to play the movie [06:45] or do I have two root=lines....i didnt quite grasp it earlier when D explained [06:45] I shall see. [06:45] Gotta restart samba. [06:46] smackmanic yes. i think for two reasons, one, 8.04 is grub, 10.04 is grub2. and secondly, ubuntu probably didnt label it hdo,4. as a matter of fact i know it didnt. if anything, ubuntu would have named hd0,4 to hd5. [06:46] bazhang I use to save the image on DVD and when I need to install I create a pendrive boot... [06:46] sweetpi, Thanks so much. Now should I be able to add new files there also? [06:46] im gonna give it a go [06:46] smackmanic, or sda5, 1 etc, if this is a sata drive [06:46] hi [06:47] hylian_, I recall it being sda something...but [06:47] if ubuntu's configured like router must i use direct cable or corossover [06:47] ? [06:47] ? [06:47] mifadir: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:47] windows could tell me yah? under sys info maybe [06:47] i wanna be sure [06:47] ill check sys info out now... [06:47] smackmanic that sounds right. my drives are sda1 and sdb2 respectively, b being my slave [06:47] any one know answer? [06:47] chilli0, don't think so [06:48] sweetpi, That's almost all perfect. If I add a new folder with a file it in. It doesn't work. It sets the permitions to owner nobody. [06:48] mifadir how are you configuring ubuntu as a router? did you mean a firewall? [06:48] mifadir...no [06:48] forwarding [06:48] chilli0: one sec i forget the umask [06:49] router does not mear firewall? [06:50] mifadir depends...at first do you have any other pc running with another OS? [06:50] mifadir router's and firewall's are not the same thing. a router dishes out net to other machines, a firewall blocks dangerous ports. most routers have a built in software firewall. [06:50] chilli0: oh, i think its 000 for world write [06:50] sweetpi, So get rid of umask=025 or what ever it is? [06:50] this is useful info if you can convert it for me [06:50] chilli0: i forgot umask takes away permissions [06:51] i know that hylian [06:51] chilli0: just change to umask=000 [06:51] in sys info, my linux partition is disk 0 partion 1 [06:51] *partition [06:51] smackmainc sda1 sounds right. sda is a sata drive, 1st partition. sdb1 is the slave, first partition. [06:51] I'm still looking for 1920×1200 resolution [06:51] still no luck.. [06:52] chilli0: make sure to remount [06:52] hylian_: appreciate it, hopefully i wont have anymore more questions about this tonite..we'll see in a few [06:52] brb [06:52] crossing the fingers for ya man [06:52] sweetpi, Restarting now ( the whole server ) [06:52] ;) [06:53] mifadir ohh, sorry. maybe i dont undertsand the question...? [06:53] chilli0: you only needed to umount/mount [06:53] How can I see what's my mac address of my laptop? [06:53] jerald: ifconfig shows that. [06:54] Question: I have a 640GB drive, one of three in my machine. I have three partitions on each of them. Recently, the second drive, /dev/sdb stopped showing partitions. I see /dev/sda1-3, but not /dev/sdb1-3 [06:54] /dev/sdb exists, and I can see the partitions with fdisk -l or gparted, but... [06:54] mifadir you use to have a crossover connection between two pc's?? [06:54] SwedeMike, I did try it shows command 'tpconfig' [06:54] jerald: no, "ifconfig". [06:55] can someone help me fix the problem where eclipse crashes on startup on 10.04? [06:55] mifadir, for port forwarding you need to enable port forwarding and enable masquerading... you can do it easy if you want with a package called guidedog [06:55] SwedeMike, got it.. thanks.. [06:55] I have to use Jockey-gtk to uninstall and reinstall my wireless driver just to activate it everytime I reboot, is there any easier way to activate the driver at boot time? [06:55] modprobe or something? [06:56] TheSarge: echo "drivername" >> /etc/modules [06:56] it shows many number i got inet addr, mask, inet6 and fe96 so which is which? [06:56] TheSarge could this be because your wireless connection is unencrypted and therefore not trusted? (not a wireless user so i am shooting from the hip on this one) [06:57] sweetpi: How can I tell what the drivername is? [06:57] sweetpi, Yeah I know , But I prefer to restart because then I can make sure it still all works. === shaun is now known as ska_ [06:57] SwedeMike, I got too many numbers.. so which is which here is my mac address? [06:57] TheSarge: lshw -C network [06:58] jerald, the one after HWaddr [06:58] sweetpi lshw isnt automatically installed with ubuntu... === Annie_ is now known as Annie [06:58] isnt google earth under partners repo?

[07:01] TheSarge: then your wireless isnt up [07:01] sweetpi: and there is no driver: in the other output [07:02] brb [07:02] sweetpi: I am using wireless to talk to you right now lmao [07:02] sweetpi, hehe my bad. I knocked out the usb to the external. === Annie_ is now known as Annie [07:02] TheSarge: you did "lsmod | grep mac80211"? [07:02] sweetpi, Thanks so much. I gotta go now =P [07:02] Want an SS with the wireless icon in the corner and my terminal showing no output for that command lol? [07:02] sweetpi: yes lol [07:03] TheSarge: .. doesnt make sense. try "lshw -C network | grep driver" [07:04] how do i install file .deb to?

Any advice?

[08:33] there's no workaround even? [08:33] kzmc99: in what respect ?

[08:59] sirninja: change the port and restrict ip's in iptables [08:59] tik: that isn't all [08:59] One sec [08:59] sirninja: enable ssh keys only and make sure you are the only one with a key, tie it down with iptables to your ip address, use hosts.allow to only allow your ip address [08:59] sirninja: use AllowedUsers in sshd.config [09:00] sirninja: Yes. Use public/private key auth. Not passwords [09:00] I think I just goofed something up. I ran a 'sudo rm -r /usr/share/fonts/truetype'. what's the installation package to get ttf's back? [09:00] Frijolie: hehe [09:00] I don't know if the ip I'll be accessing it from will always be the same though [09:00] tik, yeah I wasn't thinking... [09:01] is it possible to make it block an ip after so many failed attempts? of course running on a nonstandard port would stop 99% of people from trying to begin with wouldn't it? [09:01] sirninja: add a range [09:01] and check log regularly [09:01] yes install fail2ban [09:01] sirninja: look at fail2ban or denyhosts [09:02] ok. Thanks.

[09:03] no idea [09:03] i've never messed with fonts [09:03] TheEskimo: Should I even attempt to move over to Ubuntu running my games on Wine? [09:04] I really don't have to worry about accidentally being blocked by fail2ban if I only use keys and not passwords do I? [09:04] Name141: It depends on which games.

I am beginner [09:43] hi guys. hope you can help me. this ubuntu 10.04 laptop suddenly started going very slow. how can I speed it up again? [09:44] Gogu: When you start up there should be a message saying "Press x for setup" or similar. For example f2, f12, or delete. When you hit that key you will be taken to the bios setup screen. Here you need to find a 'Boot order' option and raise the cd-rom option to above the harddrive one. After that hit f10 to exit and save and try again [09:44] TheEskimo I haven't a great experience in Linux, I see that during theboot Lubuntu crash,if I try to reboot Linux restart [09:44] gogu: whn you turn on your computer hit escape usally and go into the oot menu and selete your cd-rom drive [09:44] last popp [09:44] oops [09:44] does anyone notice significant system efficiency when they turn on bridge network adapter for a vbox?

[09:47] hehe [09:48] im off too ed [09:48] bed rather [09:48] gabriele: If you can find the error that would be useful. To be honest I think someone else should help you. I'm not sure I know enough about what's happening with your system to help. [09:48] TheEskimo No. it is running grub after that [09:48] gogu: what computer do you have? [09:48] never got my question answered... oh wel [09:48] been fun [09:48] hi [09:48] i launched lxde environment by curiosity and now i login back into to gnome to realize that my file/ app associations are gone (avi, mp3s) [09:48] Gogu: Do you know the model/etc?

[09:49] gues ill just install vbox and do it in windows [09:49] gabriele: I think i'm over my head. [09:49] Gogu: 1 secod [09:49] TheEskimo sure [09:50] I think you might have to see the boot order in bios and have your cd-rom be the first option [09:50] gogu: try the f1 key [09:50] Should I be on sp3 before loading 10.4? [09:50] gogu: or the f10 key [09:50] TheEskimo will try now [09:50] RandyRKelly: doesnt matte [09:50] r [09:50] TheEskimo ok [09:50] Well I'm having freezing issues [09:51] Mouse r nothing would [09:51] Gogu: Actually, you can just press both (not just once, contune to press them until the bios setup screen appears or grub appears) and not have to know which it is exactly. [09:51] did you burn at a slow speed and check your cd-rom and the md5sum ? [09:51] Yes I did [09:51] Maybe bad? [09:52] maybe [09:52] I burnt to a cd-r twice and i was bad each tie I had to use a dvd at slow speeds [09:52] cause the cdr would freeze up ubuntu and cause crashes [09:52] I dropped into console and sw I/O errors [09:52] RandyRKelly: You can usually verify after burning [09:52] saw [09:52] yeah [09:53] Mmmmm well I don't have any DVD disk [09:53] I did afterwards and it had 1 rror [09:53] just makesure you burn at the slow speed pos. [09:53] How I.verify [09:53] uhm [09:53] when it boots up hit f6 i think it was [09:53] and then choose verify cd [09:53] Ok [09:53] RandyRKelly: It depends what program. It is an option some programs have. Also, you can test the cd on boot through the interface instead of install [09:54] Cook [09:54] hi all, linux n00b here, i have built an ubuntu 10.0 server and recently added some packages and since then i keep getting this message as it hangs at startup "networking main process (631) terminated with status 1" can somone please help to fix? [09:54] Oook [09:54] hi is 10.04.1 out yet? [09:54] TheEskimo I got into BIOS set up. I found booting with CD-Rom is already enabled and listed first. Then grub ran. [09:54] don't think so [09:54] I am not updating until 10.10 ayway :P [09:55] hey my ubuntu 10.04 goes black sometimes and never come back untill i restart by pressing the CPU reset Button.. how to solve this problem tell me [09:55] Gogu: That is interesting. You are sure it was above booting with harddrive? [09:55] Gogu: if you have 2 cd-rom drives make sure its in the op one [09:55] top [09:55] Gogu: yes. If you have more than 1 cd rom drive to try it in the other one [09:55] TheEskimo I only have one CD driive [09:56] hmm [09:56] and you can't get into "boot menu" ? [09:56] but you can get into bios? [09:56] hello!!! Its raining here!!! Mansoon! :D [09:57] gogu: you should go to boot > boot device prioriety > . What does it show? === tandonr_ is now known as tandonr [09:57] TheEskimo wil try again to see [09:58] Thank you gogu: Also, you are certian it is a bootable ubuntu disk? [09:59] Gogu: If your Presario is like mine F10 right after you turn on the computer will start in the BIOS screen. You then use the arrow key to move from Main to Boot. You then use the arrow key to select the CD drive then you use the + key to move the CD drive to the top of the list. F10 will then save your changes to the BIOS it will then Boot from the CD drive [09:59] tik: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=bph07110&product=3466273&printable=yes#N1898 [09:59] i have a broken package error. what can i do? [09:59] tik: that is for his computer I believe [09:59] so is what I just posted [09:59] :P [10:00] tik: you are correct of course. [10:00] TheEskimo Tik, I find USB Floppy is on top followed by CD drive in the Boot ORder list. [10:00] TheEskimo: i like you. [10:00] Gogu: put cd drive irst [10:00] gogu: for our peace of mind can you raise cd to the top? [10:00] haha [10:01] wandering if somone could please help i am getting this error "networking main process (631) terminated with status 1" and the system hangs at boot. am running ubuntu server 10.0 [10:01] mExIoUs: whatdid you install? [10:01] TheEskimo Tik, I did [10:01] gogu: you hit f10 and saved? [10:01] does it boot from livecd now? [10:01] installed mythtv backend was the most recent [10:01] TheEskimo yes [10:02] it has been working fine, just today decided to do this to me [10:02] remove it and reboot and see if it helps [10:02] Gogu: Now if it does not boot from the live cd we must bring into question the cd. Does it boot from it? [10:02] TheEskimo it is not booting from CD [10:03] hmmm [10:03] Gogu: do you have another computer you can test the disk on to make sure it can boot? I suspect it is faulty [10:03] Better yet, have you used it before and how long ago? [10:03] tik: how do i remove it i cant even get it to boot, it just hangs with that error [10:04] Can anyone suggest why ivman might've stopped detecting when I insert a DVD after I upgraded to 10.4? [10:04] TheEskimo Will try and get back [10:04] mExIoUs: You should be able to use the recovery option in grub, yes? [10:04] Gogu: okay. Best of luck. [10:04] i can boot from the cd and access recovery [10:05] Or how I can debug hal events? [10:06] the other recent thing i did was configure eth0 from webmin for static ip rather than dhcp as it has been using [10:06] TheEskimo: you really hav your work cut out for you in here :P [10:06] !webmin [10:06] mExIoUs: that might be the problem [10:06] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [10:06] tik: back. was afk for a sec [10:07] TheEskimo: didn't notice [10:07] aahha ok, so is there some way i can get the system too boot lol and fix the problem that has been caused [10:07] Where do I put commands which are supposed to be executed right after the booting has finished?! [10:07] in /etc/init/ ? [10:07] um [10:08] you add a script to init/d yes [10:08] ManDay /etc/init.d/ [10:08] init.d [10:08] is it possible to change the login screen? [10:08] rav014: Yes [10:08] but that would be SystemV init not the new grandiose upstrart, eh? [10:08] and then id also have to supply a complete script, eh? [10:08] ManDay: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ [10:08] ok, so boot from the install cd and access recovery and then edit init.d [10:09] tik: I DONT want to add a startup script - just a SINGLE command [10:09] no daemon [10:09] i know [10:09] nothing like that, a SIMPLE PLAIN command [10:09] ManDay: /etc/rc.local [10:09] #1/bin/bash [10:09] #!

[10:11] ncurses: do not use firewall. [10:12] ncurses: You can use many things. iptables if needed. But you don't raelly need one usually [10:12] @Kwpolska why? [10:12] because ubuntu is safe when used on internet? [10:13] ncurses: just make sure that no unwanted services are running and the needed things are well configured and kept actual [10:13] ncurses: on irc we do use Kwpolska: rather than @Kwpolska. [10:14] @ is reserved for ops, but not used when hilighting someone. [10:14] @TheEskimo sorry im not used on iptables... i was using freebsd on most servers. but whoa... i love ubuntu on my laptop... [10:14] ncurses: It is a good tool to get used to. Good luck!

[10:18] ManDay: to packages like apache and so on [10:18] for packages which are not packed for ubuntu or what? iceroot [10:18] ManDay: so you dont have to patch all packages because the go into different run-level-directorys [10:18] hm [10:19] and natively rcS.d is executed for every Runlevel? [10:19] ManDay: also its part of LSB [10:19] as if ubuntu cared [10:19] ManDay: you want to flame?

[13:36] Im not sure aht the --replace stuff will work properly with every window maanger. it may not work with openbox.

(i "doubt," but certainly don't "know" for sure, you'll get anything back) [15:11] ikonia: Can I rescue my data on /home? They are important. [15:11] its only a 2 minute solution [15:11] dshbusiness: I don't know/believe how to as you'll have lost your encyption key [15:11] i will be disabling remote dekstop straight after [15:11] so why not just use the passwd? [15:11] i have no keyboard or mouse and need to change something in gui [15:11] cos i cant remember what i set it as [15:11] dshbusiness: unless you have your home partition backuped bit by bit (with dd) you have lost this data [15:12] tik: they key will have changed, can he simpley use a password without the key that was used ? [15:12] maybe [15:12] idk [15:12] dshbusiness: encryption is exactly for that - so anyone, including you, can not acces data if one has no key [15:12] ikonia: Thanks.

Any ideas? [15:43] for openssh server that is [15:43] After installing Ubuntu and partitioning with Ubuntu I get FATA ERROR: Bad primary partition X: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder on all my disks - Did ubuntu screw my disks??! [15:43] pyTopher: Thanks for checking, sorry, typo on my part. Did you tell usb-creator-gtk to "discard changes" or "allocate xxxmb to changes"? I'm trying again with discard. [15:44] Xaifas: router? [15:44] Traveler7, ignoring that fact, just try to mount per console manualy [15:44] alright so ive been having a lot of problems with my panels recently. is this a common problem with 10.04? maybe its just my old computer? or maybe my panels have some corrupted files? they load incorrectly the majority of the time. sometimes its just like a little white bar - something that doesnt effect function, but sometimes the applets load in the wrong spot, dont load at all, load with the wrong settings, or load on top of another [15:44] so that i cant get to the one under it. [15:45] Hm, what exactly should I tweak on my router, need to do forwarding? [15:45] Traveler7, often, it return messages much more useful to u [15:45] Xaifas: for one, yeah. Can you connect locally? [15:45] locally yes [15:45] Xaifas: "ssh localhost" i mean [15:45] nordle: no those options were greyed out [15:45] ixbidie, oCean: Curious, that now it recognizes the pendrive..., Usually after bootup it doesn't work. [15:45] anybody? [15:46] from any other box I can't, guess i'll look into forwarding [15:46] Traveler7: weird.. maybe the re-connect solved the issue [15:46] After installing Ubuntu and partitioning with Ubuntu I get FATA ERROR: Bad primary partition X: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder on all my disks - Did ubuntu screw my disks??! [15:46] does it work for you? [15:46] what is a video editing tool that i can use to slow down certain frames of a video files [15:46] Xaifas: yes, if there's a router in between, you need to forward to the server [15:46] file* [15:46] ixbidie, oCean: When it works, /var/log/messages seems the partitions, and nautilus opens the drive automatically. After bootup (when doesn't work) it knows the usb device, but not the partitions, etc. [15:47] Traveler7, i hate runtime system cahcnges -.- [15:47] grkblood : avidemux maybe? [15:48] dark-PrincE, i dont think avidemux can do that [15:48] in synaptic, what's the difference between *Remove and *Remove Completely? [15:48] wedwo remove completely removes all associated configuration files [15:49] wedwo and i believe it also removes all associated files that no other program is dependent on. [15:49] pyTopher: greyed out. wtf. I luv computers :) damnit, same result. I even used gparted to destroy and start again. AND told usb-creator-gtk to "erase the disk". The files are there, the boot loader is on the stick, it loads syslinux.

[15:53] Hey ho :) [15:53] pyTopher: Cheers mate, appreciate the replies, at least I know it _should_ work. I'll keep trying.

[16:17] notme: I have another computer which I do have acces to, which is located on lan with th other computer, so I do have both lan and wan (if I knew the ip) access [16:17] so guys wahts the advantage of booting a LiveCD vs.. booting up like installing it like a harddrive for a usb drive?? [16:17] picard1421, hard drive install is faster and it has a filesyste [16:17] m [16:18] even on USB drive? [16:18] picard1421, much faster? [16:18] picard1421, especially on a USB drive. [16:18] how would i go about setting up a filesystem/ harddrive setup on a usb drive [16:18] IdleOne, yes thats wise. xinerama is running now but i hate running inappropriate apps [16:18] picard1421: yes, hard drive or solid state drive is faster than usb. although, it is possible to install ubuntu to usb. i have ran it. [16:18] c3l: i just ask you if it's in your lan because then you can know it's ip by using a netscanner [16:18] picard1421, well you would just mount your filesystem of choice on boot [16:18] or chroot it [16:18] <_pg_> !mintsupport [16:18] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [16:18] hello again [16:19] i've got a problem [16:19] I installed Wine [16:19] picard1421: you install to the usb drive, then select advanced during the boot loader screen and select /dev/sdb, to install boot loader to the drive instead [16:19] kishajos, theres your issue. ;D [16:19] btw Internet told me that Gnome should support 2 different wallpapers for 2 screens. But I cant figure out how :S [16:19] kishajos, what went wrong? [16:19] I Can't open any file with Wine [16:19] mondragon, your name sounds familiar. Where do you live? [16:19] I get a Wrong message [16:19] i tried Steam installer [16:20] and i tried the CD [16:20] kishajos, Did u configured Wine ? [16:20] no [16:20] notme: tell me more! :) [16:20] kishajos, Try running notepad.exe first. And make sure to check WineHQ before running more complex programs [16:20] hmm [16:20] wont it give me an option for GRUB bootloader? [16:21] Internet told me that Gnome should support 2 different wallpapers for 2 screens. But I cant figure out how :S [16:21] picard1421, Ubuntu automatically uses GRUB2 as its bootlaoder when you install [16:21] pyTopher: joy :) Tried a diferent ISO and it worked. I went back to check the iso and while its called "i386", the properties say AMD64. So looks like the iso is the wrong one. [16:21] c3l: just install nmap, menawhile figure out your own ip and netmask, with those you can determine the netblock to scan [16:21] so when its installing grub or partitioning HD's [16:21] where is this secret menu [16:21] picard1421, What secret menu... [16:21] c3l: then you scan the netblock looking for the tcp port you want, which i assume is 22 [16:21] nordle: hooray! [16:21] what am i Configing to make the USB drive bootable [16:21] Notepad works [16:21] hey guys can someone point me to a how-to on how to use multiple byobu sessions together [16:22] :D [16:22] picard1421: after the installer finishes, it will ask you to confirm where to install the boot loader [16:22] ok.. [16:22] you should select advanced [16:22] then select the usb drive, not the local hard drive of your machien [16:23] so when its asking about the GRUB [16:23] be aware that installing to a usb drive will normally take a long time [16:23] yes, GRUB [16:23] how about booting off hte usb drive? i understand install will be a pain? [16:23] hellow everyone.... [16:23] actual use off usb drive [16:23] the install is not a pain. you just have to put the boot loader on the usb drive instead [16:23] happy friendship day.. [16:24] what is ttyusb0 command for? [16:24] notme: is netmask this: Mask:255.255.240.0 ? [16:24] booting off it, you have to select to boot from a usb drive while your computer boots. this is usually done by pressing a function key, like F10 to bring up a menu that allows you to boot from the local hard drive, from cd, or usb, etc. [16:24] yes [16:24] Hi I am ruuning web server on my ubuntu server.

I want to delete old backups that are local, not no a server... just need verification on this... [16:34] th_: are you saying I shall open my wifi network to others?

I dont have a router, only a swich [16:34] Fernandos, yes for a while? [16:34] can anyone help me get ubuntu to boot [16:34] Fernandos: temporarily [16:35] Fernandos: what NIC do you have [16:35] Why do most installers need admin privileges? [16:35] c3l: but your isp doesn't matter, as the comps are in the same lan... at least that's what i understood [16:35] MarkSS: for example? [16:35] .bin [16:35] oops [16:35] rlankfo: how do I find that out? [16:35] I mean... [16:35] notme: you mean the '83.226.144.0/20' part? [16:35] Wait...does .bin need admin privileges? I read somewhere never [16:35] yes [16:35] Cannonball: what happens when you try to boot? [16:35] notme: correcy, but theyre not getting a local ip, but they are on lan [16:36] How can I see the empty space of my u-disk via command line? [16:36] Fernandos: you could open up the machine and look at the card.. lspci might give you some info [16:36] c3l: got it, another way (if this doesn't work) it's to sniff a little onyour lan traffic [16:36] c3l, i think that\s because you are connected to the modem and the modem broadcasts your static ip's [16:36] Fernandos: if you are dual booting you could use something like pcwizard in windwos [16:36] c3l: have you installed nmap already? [16:36] dshbusiness, df [16:36] rlankfo: Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 1000 Series [16:36] I read recently on Ubuntu forums that most installers tend to need admin privileges and I am wondering why.

[16:38] Ah! That makes sense [16:38] rlankfo: does that help? [16:39] rlankfo: I don't know why I can't connect with wifi :( [16:39] Fernandos: i had a similar problem that was specific to a broadcom NIC, so doesn't appear you are having the same problem [16:39] c3l: minute [16:39] maybe maybe not.. I don't know [16:39] rlankfo: how did you fix it? [16:39] I had public key authentication on my computer working. I login as another local user to perform a couple of tasks. It was working perfectly and then I played around and ultimately changed the permissions of the other user's home directory. Now I am being prompted with a password.

[16:40] Are admin access and sudo access the same thing? [16:40] or are there known problems with my card? [16:41] MarkSS: running a command with sudo would give it root or admin access, yes [16:41] meLon, try usinf root and change the home directory ownership [16:41] Fernandos: i would find out the exact card you have and check the forums [16:41] Ty ncurses. I will give that a try. Going to re-submit my key first [16:41] MarkSS: sudоеrs generally are included in admin group [16:41] c3l: run nmap -p22 [16:41] Fernandos: ndiswrapper is a major p in the a as well, chances are it's not a compatability issue with your card so it probably won't help you [16:42] MarkSS: man sudo_root [16:42] So, all directories outside of the home folder require admin/root access then?

I have to alt+tab to move around. How do I fix so I can see taskbar? Monitor autoadjust button not fixing either [16:50] ncurses: didn't get what you said about c3l's modem [16:50] MarkSS change the scaling on your graphics card or chip [16:50] lindsaymobil22: I don't think the current stable version of Ubuntu supports btrfs roots. Ubuntu Maverick does, but it hasn't been released yet. [16:50] How do I do that? Do you mean resolution? [16:50] ok cant boot from live cd. I get a " unable to find a medium containing a live file system" error, and I have checked the cd it good.. anyone help? [16:50] wrektjet: where do you get the memory usage reading? [16:51] BRB guys [16:51] MarkSS i only know how to do it in CCC, do you have an ATi video card? [16:51] No idea [16:51] MarkSS: preface what you say with the persons name, like me talking to you: "MarkSS: (text)" Helps keep everything clear. [16:51] notme: how come I got so many results? I guess it didnt only search on lan, so how do I find the right one most easy? [16:51] headkase314: Ok [16:51] martianixor, from a desktop applet and from the system monitor [16:52] MarkSS you mean you dont know what video card you have? [16:52] wrektjet: OK, in a terminal, use top === zz_WhiteKIBA is now known as zz_zz_WhiteKIBA [16:52] wrektjet: see what's eating your RAM under %MEM [16:52] c3l: pm [16:53] I think Nvidia [16:53] Yes, it is Nvidia [16:53] MarkSS im not an expert with NVidia sorry :) [16:53] MarkSS: Have you installed drivers for you nVidia card or are you using the built-in ones that came with Ubuntu? [16:54] headkase314 +1 [16:54] wrektjet: top is a command that you can run in a terminal [16:54] headkase314: I got the 180 one or whatever. The recommended one [16:54] Everything works fine other than not being able to see the taskbar [16:54] i'm thinking about setting up a LAMP server in VirtualBox with Ubuntu as the L in LAMP. host OS is Windows Vista. should the guest OS in my VirtualBox LAMP server be Ubuntu or Ubuntu Server? and what is Ubuntu LTS ?

[16:56] headkase: I just want to be able to use my optimal resolution [16:56] MarkSS: I was hoping the proprietary drivers would help, but you already have them. I'm Ati so I don't really know where to go from here.. Sorry. [16:56] itsux2bu: Ubuntu LAMP on virtual PC Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvGCyEwk39c [16:56] Why Ati? Is Ati better? [16:56] ubottu: webmin [16:56] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [16:56] Hi [16:57] MarkSS not in linux no, ATi is a disaster in linux [16:57] MarkSS: Ati or nVidia is preference. nVidia people claim less problems (I never have problems with Ati) but Ati actively supports an Open-Source driver. Comes down to personal preference. [16:57] Anyone know about Aipitek SlimTablet 600u mouse click lag [16:57] wrektjet: you're experiencing slowliness in performance?

[18:16] how to change my video driver from vesa to S3 Inc. Savage 4 i am new in linux [18:18] hey there, has anyone experienced problems connecting a web cam to skype ? [18:19] hey what dya ppl use to backup? (pref gui+cli and based around cli tools) [18:19] local backups [18:19] !backup [18:19] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [18:20] notme: My backup is a USB hard-drive. I usually have it turned off. When I need to backup something I turn it on, copy to it, and unmount it and turn it off again ;) Completely manual driven. [18:22] hi [18:22] Stock images and buttons aren't showing up in Glade (or the produced GUIs) for me. Anyone know a work around? [18:22] headkase314: that way if i mess up i won't have incrementals from where to get back [18:22] thx IdleOne [18:22] tle_: in the case of buttons, by default in gnome they don't have icons, unless the /desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons key is set [18:22] does generating 4024 bit pgp keys take a long time? [18:22] tle_: enable it and you will see them in glade [18:22] notme: There is also Dropbox OR UbuntuOne. You can save in those folders and have them automatically mirrored to a cloud? [18:23] trism: ah ok, so its essentially a default theme issue then? Is there a way that I can override this within my application (or even better, Glade)? [18:24] Is it easy to change the context menus for nautalus? When I right-click on a file, usually there are only a couple things I want to do . . no where near the 17 (!) options it gives me. [18:24] Ha, when I right-click on a folder, it gives me 20 options. [18:25] tle_: you can explicitly set the contents of the button (load the stock icon then attach it to the button), but this is really beyond the scope of this channel [18:25] headkase314: kinda don't like the cloud for storage, let alone for my personal stuff. an external disc should be fine, just some way to add incremental [18:25] trism: alright thanks for your help [18:26] Enter text here...hello all [18:26] konne88 [18:26] hey there [18:26] anybody using nxserver? with a windows client [18:26] notme: I don't have experience for it but are you looking for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron ? Basically write a script to incrementally back up and use cron to run it at specific intervals? [18:27] notme: grsync may be what you want [18:27] headkase314: yeah i'd love to put up a script, but don't have the time atm, will check that IdleOne [18:28] does anyone know how i can get skype to recognize my cam [18:29] UberN00b: do other apps see it?

[18:33] thanx xungua [18:34] well I need something that will make it easy because I never understand man pages [18:34] irule: perhaps check --> http://www.stoltenow.com/archives/2006/12/ubuntu_configur.html :) if you got a bnrowser handy [18:34] there whould be woman pages [18:34] hi guys...I just had my graphics freak out after an update....now, gnome-do is telling me that I need to enable 'composition'...can someone tell me how to do that please? [18:34] irule: learn the tools and it is easy. wicd also has a CLI interface I think. not sure about network manager [18:34] I have two servers A and B which are connected via a switch (and to other machines). Now, if we laid a direct cross-over cable from A-to-B and assigned eth1s of each an IP from the same network... 1. will linux prefer the direct wire? and 2. if the wire dies, will it go over the switch? [18:35] headkase314 ermmm that doesnt help much [18:35] irule: if you can't understand man pages you surely won't get the woman pages. [18:35] lol [18:35] does ubuntu have good support for USB devices? [18:35] irule: sexism is against the code of conduct, please don't make such comments. [18:36] Happy Friendship day......... [18:36] UberN00b: I have to use that to get my webcam working in Skype, basically need the compatibility mode here ;) [18:36] sunson: you re connecting 2 pc's each with 2 NIC's to each other? one via the lan, one nic via a direct crossover cable? the system will not auto-fallback wiothout some work, [18:36] irule: low level program is iwconfig [18:36] <[thor]> itsux2bu: i have had better support for my usb devices in ubunty than i ever had in *dows [18:36] mikebeecham: open gconf-editor and search fot /apps/metacity/general/metacity_compositing [18:36] Dr_Willis: yes. exactly. [18:36] hey everyone [18:36] oh is compositing_manager [18:37] Dr_Willis: i thought there is something called a shortest path algorithm... but maybe I over-wished what it does :P [18:37] headkase314, but as far as i understood i have to change a line in a text file ... but the path they gave leads to the options menu in skype [18:37] ...no txt there... [18:37] <[thor]> itsux2bu: no need to install drivers for my camera, or wifi antenna, or even my ancient palmOS device [18:37] xangua: actually mate I just discovered that the drivers corrupted, and I had no visual effects. It's downloading and installing some drivers I believe. Not sure what happened with the Update Manager, but something sure freaked out [18:37] I found a Nautilus Actions Configuration Tool -- is there a way to edit the already-existing actions? Or only add actions? [18:38] how does ubuntu know what to do with each device? [18:38] hi guys all ok [18:38] what driver mikebeecham¿ did you add xorg team ppa or something like that¿ [18:38] does anyone know what version of xorg-server nvidia 71.86.13 is compatible with [18:38] xangua: nope [18:38] UberN00b: it is done on the command line, the preload functions set up the compatibility mode for skype and then you run skype in that compatibility environment. It can be a bit confusing especially when you need to create a menu item with the preloads. [18:38] Dr_Willis: I guess its because of ARP discovery claiming the route to nic2 of B to be going via nic2 of A only... unless of course, we login via nic1 and clear off the ARP cache. right? [18:38] pharasoth: the xserver version is not important [18:38] I've been away on holiday, come back to find that Ubuntu has some updates to do...I set it off and BOOM. [18:38] sunson: one of the featuires of network manager i THINK is to do the task. but still programs can get confused if eth's suddendly change. [18:38] pharasoth: if you read the README in the nvidia packge it will explain it's limitations [18:38] Hi all. Recently I've had some trouble keeping my WindowPickerApplet displayed. I've tried using Emerald, and have also added window manager (gnome-wm) to my startup, and still it hides itself on me... 'metacity --replace' will make it reappear but it usually disappears soon there after... any suggestions? [18:38] I'm problem whit [18:38] Dr_Willis: there is no NetworkManager here. this isn't a Desktop. its a 10.04 server. [18:38] smart lan usb [18:38] sunson: not sure. this is getting beyond my 'offical' network training. :) Im more of a hands on. [18:39] uw54 [18:39] sunson: wicd has a command line version. so it can work as a 'network manager' i belive. [18:39] exit [18:39] <[thor]> itsux2bu: some sort of voodoo magic, or databases being matched to deviceIDs.. something like that. [18:39] headkase314 so how do i do that again ? XD === Longhorn|XP is now known as Longhorn [18:39] ok does anyone have nvidia 71.86.13 working and if so what distro are you using [18:39] Dr_Willis: yeah, we no use any funky stuff. just plain ol' /etc/network/interfaces managed via puppet [18:39] sunson: theres proberly guides for redundant/failsafe/network type connections [18:39] pharasoth: this channel is for ubuntu support only [18:40] roboto3785: do you have compiz setting manager installed¿¿ [18:40] ok does anyone have nvidia 71.86.13 working and if so what version of ubuntu are you using [18:40] Yep. [18:40] ok.. so ubuntu has a built-in db of devices and looks it up somehow [18:40] pharasoth: the nvidia drivers that are shipped as part of the ubuntu hardware drivers tool is what is supported [18:40] Dr_Willis: I'm trying to avoid the switch. we need the switch to talk to others... but A is a web server and B is a DB server. A talks to B too much. but also talks to others... [18:40] <[thor]> itsux2bu: i lean more toward the voodoo magic myself. [18:41] roboto3785: ten better remove that window applet you use, open compiz settings and go to the window decoration plugin [18:41] UberN00b: You see where it says "bash -c"? In a console don't type that instead type everything between the two single quotes. Then Skype will run and you can test your webcam. Then if it works you can make the menu item with the bash -c part in it. [18:41] yeah but they are not working out for me. There is this graphical glitch around the cursor in opengl apps [18:41] so the usb devices still need drivers but they keep details from the user [18:41] in Comand it says '/usr/bin/compiz-decorator' , replace it with 'emerald --replace' [18:41] UberN00b: Also in a console type: gstreamer-properties to get some web-cam configuration options to play with. [18:41] roboto3785* [18:41] Ok, xanqua, I'll check that out. Thanks :) [18:41] i don't need "supported" drivers, i need functional drivers [18:41] ... [18:42] pharasoth: ok, so you'll need to contact nvidia to log a bug. Have you checked your cards supported status with ubuntu package drivers [18:42] headkase314 thanks, gime a sec to try it [18:42] <[thor]> itsux2bu: no, you can probably find all the information you need on the forums. [18:42] my ppp0 device is all of a sudden coming up as eth1 device? has anyone heard of this before?

Its normally smart enough to see/setup other disrtos.. iof course since you are a gentoo user. adding a propper entry to the grub2 menus shouldent be too hard for you. :) [19:01] storf: then try a channel with your native language [19:01] Tux414, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireTimeline/Fixes has a fix [19:01] ikonia: oss4 that is not the deprecated oss [19:01] !oss [19:01] xangua: please be a bit more supportive [19:01] storf: I'm aware of oss4 I'm just looking at the status in ubuntu's repo's now [19:01] danieldd: I'm use xchat, Crtl+s = viwer chanel list [19:01] thanks ikonia [19:01] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound [19:01] storf: I did not remove you due to your English.

[19:02] storf: it does suggest not all cards have full support [19:02] ask error [19:02] IdleOne: dont have to be so hard [19:03] could someone help me get my microphone on my webcam working [19:03] kreme191: alsamixer -c0 [19:03] ikonia: yes but the alsa support is really ad [19:03] bad [19:03] kreme191: did you check your sound settings¿¿ [19:03] alsa sucks basicly [19:03] storf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:03] storf: My nationality has nothing to do with anything. You asking me if I am German was just your trollish way of saying I am being a nazi. [19:03] alsa is scratchy and shuts off [19:03] xangue: how do i do that [19:03] eyoung101, so long as all goes as planned (it doesn't always ;) grub2 should be able to automatically find both ubuntu & gentoo kernels for booting, and grub1 will no longer be required. best of luck. [19:03] can ubuntu fix alsa please? [19:04] xangue: i checked them on skype but it did not recognized the camera, yet the video works [19:04] IdleOne: what? [19:04] where are you talking about? [19:04] storf: I understand alsa may not be your thing, but check the status of your card's support in oss4 [19:04] I am done with you storf. I hope you can get the help you need. [19:04] storf: it doesn't appear that oss4 is actually packaged into the ubuntu repos [19:04] magicianlord: ubuntu uses pulseaudio by defaul [19:04] magicianlord: sounds like an alsa bug.

I [19:06] so I should let ubuntu handle the booting, as such do i need to put ubuntus kernel and image in my gentoo boot partition? hda1= windows, ditching 4 ubuntu hda2=/boot hda3=/ hda4=swap [19:06] raven: not sure on what you mean.. but du has dozens of options [19:06] I'm trying to wite a daemon that moves a *.tsv file every time one gets dumped into a folder [19:07] ikonia: yes it is because my card is not in the driver or ssomething, but the driver should support it [19:07] Dr_Willis, du always runs every folder [19:07] the normal xonar is in it [19:07] I'm wondering if anybody knows something that already does this [19:07] eyoung101: use of /boot/ partitions are a bit 'old skool' these days. [19:07] eyoung101: you're going to have a mass ammount of problems, as gentoo's updates will want to update menu.lst, on the gentoo disk, and ubuntu will want to use grub2 in /etc on the ubuntu disk, neither will be aware of each other [19:07] thank you ikonia [19:07] eyoung101, ehhh. i wouldn't want to comment on your rather complex setup. you might want to ask in the gentoo irc channel for advice as well. good luck man. [19:07] Dr_Willis: they used to work for dual boot situations, but with ubuntu's grub2 layout, it's a real pain now [19:07] du -hs bin/ [19:07] 13Mbin/ [19:07] raven: man du. du -sh /top/path to get summary size [19:08] Dr_Willis, ohir that's it tnx [19:08] is there a way i can make ubuntu use grub 1? [19:08] hi, i had a question, if someone could offer some insight [19:08] eyoung101: sure, look at the grub-legacy package [19:08] raven: any command you have on terminal has its manual [19:09] raven: man command will give you quick insight into [19:09] It pays to read the man pages.. :) or command --help [19:09] having trouble with grub2 and booting.

Is the HD seen in BIOS? [19:10] Hmm... well, just in case someone ever runs across a log of this IRC chat through google or something, the answer to my question is that I want to use "watch" [19:10] xangue: what do u mean auto complete names [19:10] HD is seen in bios [19:11] can i get that during the install? if i use grub 1 i can chainload ubuntu from Gentoo [19:11] guydoingstuff, can you find the related device in /dev? [19:11] eyoung101: you can proberly chainload with grub2 also.. or let grub2 handle the whold booting prlcess and not chainload. [19:11] i see it, should be dev/sda [19:11] dont really know what to do with it there though === boscop_ is now known as boscop [19:12] grub2 manages to see all the other disrtos on my systems. which can cause issues. It added meny entries for the USB hard drive isntalls las ttimne [19:12] guydoingstuff, do you have a /dev/sda1 or 2 === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke3 === |_ocke3 is now known as |_ocke [19:13] so, i have an SD card with Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.4 on it. So, i boot from the SD card, and click to "test" ubuntu, but I also have a persistence file. Now, i want to install UNR on my hdd. how would i go about transferring my changes from my SD card's persistence file to my hdd install? === Amway\A is now known as Amway [19:13] i understand what i can and cant do with grub 2 but i have issues b/c im using an old school setup as mentioned earlier [19:13] youre right. I do not see it. sdb2-5 are there... I only see sda with no numbers following it [19:13] oCean_, To change, do I need restart pc? [19:13] eyoung101, there are some advanced grub options during an install (sorry not familiar with exactly what is there, other then install to different location) but i doubt grub1 is available... at that point. perhaps selecting not to install grub might be an option? [19:13] hello all [19:13] guydoingstuff, something happened to you partition table then [19:14] josephseraos: you can set is for now using the hostname command (hostname mynewhostname). Editing /etc/hostname will make it persistent at reboots [19:14] reinstall? === TannerF is now known as afkF [19:14] ultimate *nix nub here, having issues with ubuntu netbook [19:14] Kungfood, explain [19:14] guydoingstuff, can you remember how the disk was patitioned ?

Does "ICE" here mean »Information_and_Content_Exchange" (specification)? [19:16] frenchy, use a serial keyboard and hit any key [19:16] i have checked the packages, and the correct package IS installed, for the trident driver [19:16] Kungfood: it is best to use normal installer for laptops. netbook installer for netbooks [19:16] if it is a usb keyboard it might not recognize keystorkes === khisanth_ is now known as Khisanth [19:17] guydoingstuff, ahh why cant you boot with usb keyboard? just curious [19:17] when i go to ch3eck the available resolutions though, 800x600 is the highest it will give me [19:17] i have no idea [19:17] Kungfood, i'd recommend desktop over NBE if you have the room, NBE is very "limited". Good luck man. the screen issue sounds like graphics drivers, "lspci | grep -i vga" to find you video card ;) [19:17] hi [19:17] i want to tell a question [19:17] guydoingstuff, try this guide [19:17] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [19:17] usb will work fine once you are in though [19:17] Under lost partition [19:17] i have installed mozilla thunderbird i have add 2 mail [19:17] ive got the iso for the regualr 10.04, but i wanted to sort this out first, reason being is that when it was an xp machine, it had the same issue until i got the right driver installed [19:18] 1 hotmail and 1 gmail [19:18] !enter | lukafulmine [19:18] lukafulmine: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:18] oCean_, If I change file /etc/hostname, will it change in hosts too? [19:18] Kungfood, trident ;) good luck man. [19:18] Kungfood: what issue [19:18] !hostname | josephseraos [19:18] josephseraos: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [19:18] lol yeah [19:18] josephseraos: nope, you have to change that too [19:18] i figure fixing this will teach me a bit about linux :) [19:19] can anyone help with my question? i can type it again if need be [19:19] can i msg someone so i wont lose responses in the flood? [19:19] but when i add the second account of gmail appears this answer:"incorrect username or password",but the username and password it's correct what's happened [19:19] Kungfood, i hope the lesson doesn't end up being how poor linux supports Trident graphics chips ;) [19:19] !pm | Kungfood [19:19] Kungfood: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

[19:19] lathan: ask again please [19:19] so, i have an SD card with Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.4 on it. So, i boot from the SD card, and click to "test" ubuntu, but I also have a persistence file. Now, i want to install UNR on my hdd. how would i go about transferring my changes from my SD card's persistence file to my hdd install? [19:19] lukafulmine: gmail pop or imap¿¿ you first need to go to gmail web and enable one of those [19:19] lathan: Possible solution. Install Ubuntu to the hard drive. Then boot off the SD card and mount the Ubuntu HD. Then copy the files over and reboot into the Ubuntu HD. [19:20] ha, well i have been readin a bit a bout that...i did find a solution that involves editing the xorg.conf file, except that the file does not exist on my system... [19:20] lathan: just coppy your home [19:20] lathan: you can mount the persistantce file and copy files from it. via the proper 'mount' command [19:20] Kungfood: you can tell your irc client to not show the joins/parts -- so the screen will not scroll so fast [19:20] ok [19:21] ok unplugging the USB keyboard i still get the icon and when i press enter its just a black screen with a cursor flasshing at the top [19:21] does /home contain all my changes? [19:21] My CD/DVD drive doesnt respond anymore after I've installed Ubuntu. I am dualbooting, so it works just fine in Windows. Anyone experienced something like this? [19:21] lathan, this isn't really what you are asking about but it's probably a lot easer to fresh install and simply backup you homedirectory files/settings and use !clone to reinstall apps. good luck. [19:21] !clone | lathan [19:21] lathan: 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 [19:21] lathan: /home is where your users files are at. not sure what you mean about 'changes' [19:21] boas onde posso descarrgar o tema do ubuntu 9.10 (aquele amarelo) [19:21] lathan: All your settings are in /home some of them are hidden by having a . before the file name [19:21] I wonder if anyone can explain this to me....I just did an update, which seemed to have corrupted my video drivers. I could not enable desktop effects and the only way I could repair the damage was to revert back to Nvidia drivers 173 - Can anyone help me understand why? [19:22] !pt | pjc [19:22] pjc: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [19:22] by changes, i meant my installed programs and such [19:22] ok [19:22] lathan: the perisstant save file has all the 'changes' - your USERS setings will be in the /home dir on that pereisant file. [19:23] guydoingstuff, unplugging the usb and using serial does the same thing [19:23] so if i know that i have the trident package installed, but i still see no xorg.conf file..what do i do? [19:23] okay, thanks everyone. i'll try it out later today [19:23] lathan: if you want to reinstall all the same apps. use that 'clone' factoid info. then copuy the files from the persisnats /home/ to your actual home. [19:23] Kungfood: X auto configures for the most part these day. No xorg.conf needed for most people [19:23] guntbert: please use !bleh > nick instead of | [19:24] when you install xorg and nouveau at the same time, do you absolutely need to configure xorg.conf or is this optional for a single screen setup with native resolution? [19:24] okay, thanks [19:24] frenchy, then it must be tied to bios. WHen I get that icon you described, I have to either wait a minute for the installer session to kick in or use a serial keyboard [19:24] err... ebook reader and calibre wont open an ebook... it's just blank i guess [19:24] guntbert, When I set hostname, do I need restart pc? [19:24] is it possible to make an xorg.conf for just the purpose of configuring for this driver? [19:24] magicianlord: somnthing is not clear.. xorg uses nouveau, for nvidia cards.. and you dont need a xorg.conf normally these days [19:24] I just installed 10.04 on a new hard drive i got for my laptop. Upon booting I recieve this error "error:out of disk." and i have a prompt that says "grob rescue>" is there something wrong with the harddrive or grub? [19:24] how do take a snapshot or memory of your system in linux? is solaris you run uadmin 5 0 to panic it and that saves the memory/kernel and dump into a disk [19:25] Kungfood: you could make one if yiou wanted to [19:25] Kungfood: my nvidia-settings tool makes one with a few settings in it for my systems. [19:25] josephseraos: I would say no need for restarting [19:25] the only reason i installed linux was to /open this ebook and it wont work/ can anyone possibly help? [19:26] i guess i will go ahead and reinstall with desktop, then try and tackle this again [19:26] alexander_: you would have to aska question before anyone can think about helping you [19:26] alexander_: theres ebook readers for windows I imagine.. but if it has some sort of DRM/protection on the ebook.. well.. that limits what you can do [19:26] yeah... basically ebook reader and calibre don't open it [19:26] and the barnes and noble program crashes [19:26] guydoingstuff it goes away then i just get a black screenw ith a blinking cursor [19:26] ah i missed his question [19:27] Dr_Willis: so i can install nouveau and not configure anything? [19:27] magicianlord: it is installed for you [19:27] after installing 10.04 on a new hard drive for my laptop, I recieve this error "error:out of disk." upon booting. i have a prompt that says "grub rescue>" I'm at a loss as to what to do. I was also having problems installing xp as well. Is it the hard drive? [19:27] magicianlord: nouveau is imnstalled by default I thought. My nvidia cards DONT work right with it.. and it does seem to be the default [19:27] magicianlord: install the nvidia drivers from jockey-gtk [19:27] Dr_Willis: it is but no 3D support [19:28] gnomefreak: it barely works with 2d on my box. :) has a lot of other issues also. [19:28] i installed 'libircclient' library from ubuntu repository, tried to compile some example code and received this: http://pastebin.com/9pHzmKcx [19:29] Dr_Willis: it does and always will. nididia doesnt really "support"(lack of better word) it [19:29] i'm just going to call barnes and noble n try to get my money back [19:29] alexander_: good luck with that. [19:29] yeah fat chance eh [19:29] lopek, you need the development files to with your library [19:29] how to i get a startup script to run at boot (without using some gui tool to do so) [19:29] One of the many reasons i dont do 'e-books;' [19:29] they are also in the repository [19:29] guntbert, When I changed hostname, My pc continues with old hosname [19:30] restart than [19:30] Barnabas well, i've installed libbircclient-dev [19:30] hmm [19:30] alexander_: Regarding DRM -> http://www.defectivebydesign.org/ [19:31] thanks headkase314 i'll take down the url [19:31] lopek, then the sourcecode is not compatible with the version of your library [19:31] Hello [19:31] How to open terminal as admin ?

(im missreading i think) [19:35] a local web [19:35] LAN [19:36] moesian: the 'current directory' is not in the default path. thats why you need the ./command syntax [19:36] guntbert, Local Area Network [19:36] moesian: that's if you're in the directory of the command, if you're not, type the full path, like /opt/maya/bin/mayapy [19:36] josephseraos: yes :-), but how did you try to reach your pc over the LAN?

[19:40] josephseraos: ah I see .. you windows machine doesn't know about the new name - windows networking is (for me) a rather complicated thing - try to restart your ubuntu machine (as you said earlier) - that could help [19:40] How to set permissions on var/www files ? [19:40] hi [19:40] TechMiX: you can get it through a dbus call [19:41] ilovefairuz: could you explain more? [19:42] guntbert, OK.. I'll try restart to see. Would be great don't need to restart, right? [19:42] hi Guys [19:42] need help with VMware Workstation with windows Guests on a Linux Host ... [19:42] on UBUNTU Host [19:42] Is this correct : chmod -R 660 /var/www/folder/ [19:42] problem is regarding plugging USB Devices IN and OUT of VM [19:42] I am able to PLUG-IN USB Devices in Windows Guest without any problem , but when i DISCONNECT those devices , they don't work on Linux HOST [19:43] what you need to do is to not DISCONNECT those devices physically, but to use the DISCONNECT button to make it visible back on linux HOST [19:43] TechMiX: many application provide a cross-application accessible interface called dbus, through which you can call code of another application, rythembox providesa dbus interface to make other application capable of communicating with it, this is an example of using it for pidgin http://blog.viamentis.com/articles/tag/pidin-rhythmbox-dbus-ipc/ [19:43] sharif, you probably do not want the same permissions on directories and folders [19:43] TechMix: enter: "rhythmbox-client --print-playing" at a console without the quotes [19:44] josephseraos: yes it would be great, but that is not a problem of ubuntu but of the "master browser" not updating its data [19:44] sharif, find /var/www -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; will find all directories and set them to something reasonable [19:44] Hi. I'm using a encrypted root filesystem, it's been encrypted by the ubuntu installed. Is there any documentation on how I have to set up a new hard disk so that ubuntu can boot from it? [19:45] *by the ubuntu installer [19:45] for files find /var/www -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; [19:45] ilovefairuz: thank you very much, usefull info. didnt notice dbus at all.

BIOS does. guide does not work because drive is not seen in live session [19:54] hspaans, but I would like to use a neural network for this. So on some moments it would leave more machines on, because those moments use to have more people [19:56] guydoingstuff, have you been fiddeling with the partition table, or has this come about by itself ? It could be a disk error. And then you would be better of making a dump of the disk to a file [19:57] guntbert, the "hostname" command didn't change the hostname [19:57] is there anyone who plays or played CSS on Ubuntu? === Amway\A is now known as Amway === funtimes is now known as palhmbs [19:57] Barnabas, everything is backedup.

I didn't pay atention [20:01] :-) [20:01] And it will take a while [20:02] josephseraos: :) [20:02] romanrishafk: It is compatible with 360 when you use the "-x" command option. It does NOT transcode the file formats though so your source files have to be in a format that the 360 accepts. [20:03] how also to make the files and directories to be chomd [20:03] headkase314: thanks for the info [20:03] any recommendations for text to speech on linux?

[20:17] RealOpty: nomachine is not VNC, but similar in purpose though not identical, it's more like remote GDM logins [20:17] ah [20:17] abhijit, I have bought a new laptop today 320 GB please guide me what should be the ideal paritions?

[20:18] abhijit, okay :( [20:19] nvm apparently I had to use "Connect to Server" [20:19] kushalsejwal, i will tell you. but i dont have any solid reason for that scheme. better you ask someone else or decide yourself.

[20:21] detach-sign* [20:21] tensorpudding: command line [20:21] kushalsejwal, the simplest is using all disk for '/'. thats the easient to install and maintain too. another one is having your /home on different partition. now it may be renge in 40-50gb as per your need. i generally need 70gb. remaining you can assing to / [20:21] server film === alexandre is now known as Guest86089 [20:21] gpg --sign is used for signing [20:22] Hello.

[20:33] hello (: [20:33] may i ask a question? [20:33] I need to know how to disable lcd expansion in ubuntu. My goal is to have 2" black borders all the way around my monitor. [20:33] Chopinn: mostly, yes [20:33] I think xulrunner is what firefox uses for something, but I'm not sure what. [20:33] Chopinn, yes [20:34] <_hunter_> Chopinn: but not all of them [20:34] !ask | jeiam [20:34] jeiam: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:34] Chopinn: Yes. There are a handfull of programs that might give you a headache, but I've run into very, very few [20:34] jeiam, you did :) [20:34] jeiam, Other? [20:34] I need to know how to disable lcd expansion in ubuntu. My goal is to have 2" black borders all the way around my monitor. [20:34] as a it department administrator, i have been considering switching my business to linux for a long time [20:34] tensorpudding: xulrunner is mozilla's runtime and rendering engine, more like a JVM for java [20:35] Hmm, so removing it would most likely cause firefox to no longer function === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ [20:35] i am trying to find just the letter "a" on its own in a man file, but i keep coming back with every word that contains an a, how can i search for just "a" or "-a" on its own [20:36] tensorpudding: depends on what version you have installed, but if something requires it, it will prompt you before removal [20:36] ResQue: "/ a " [20:36] i have now switched all the computers in the business to run linux ubuntu [20:36] I need to know how to disable lcd expansion in ubuntu. My goal is to have 2" black borders all the way around my monitor.

[20:38] tensorpudding: eclipse requires xulrunner to render web content inside itself (like its welcome screen and web previews) [20:38] jeiam: You'd have to use Wine to run those, or just use alternatives like OpenOffice and Firefox. [20:38] jeiam: I believe Crossover will support Office 2003 [20:39] Thank you so much people, i dont think moving to linux would have been so easy if it wasnt for all the help people in this channel give for free. it can be very stressful sometimes, and talking to people who have done it before really helps. So THANK YOU to anyone how offers help for free in here. [20:39] jeiam: It mgiht also run in Wine, but that's less certain. [20:39] jelam: but openoffice is very smiliar, free, and runs on windows, mac and gnu/linux [20:39] Office 2007 works fine under Wine 1.2. [20:39] jeiam: CrossOver is not free though. [20:39] jpds: unfortunately, alternatives to microsoft internet explorer 8 will not be justifiable, as our corporate intranet requires internet explore [20:39] jeiam: Ew. [20:39] sup [20:40] does microsoft develope an internet explorer for linux? [20:40] why would you ever want to use it.. firefox always. [20:40] jeiam: can you not just run ie with wine, or even terminal servies [20:40] jelam: get someone from google to talk to them about chrome and their Chrome Frame for IE [20:40] jeiam: you can run it through wine [20:40] jeiam: no :P [20:40] jeiiam: I vouch for Crossover Linux. It runs Microsoft Office almost perfectly. Crossover is a paid app and unless there is a specific reason you can't work around by using OpenOffice then you should really consider the Open alternatives. [20:40] nite: You joined to late to see why. [20:41] k00giez: no, not IE8 [20:41] it happens [20:41] hi ilovefairuz really [20:41] jeiam: It's unfortunate, but IE8 isn't supported in Wine or CrossOver [20:41] jeiam: or run ie on windows inside a vm like sun virtualbox [20:41] jeiam: I believe that IE7 is though [20:41] does openoffice support the same functionality as microsoft office? does it support doc and xls? [20:41] jelam: using free/open source alternatives will cost less, be more manageable in the long term [20:41] I've attempted to conform IE7 to Wine.. no luck, but it is possible [20:42] <_hunter_> jeiam - yes [20:42] jeiam: It supports doc and xls, not sure about docx [20:42] openoffice is an awful awful suite [20:42] it works, but is not nearly at the level of ms office :p [20:42] docx support is a must [20:42] <_hunter_> jeiam - but open office can't open microsoft data base [20:42] jelam: yes it does, please download a copy and conduct a feasibility test for your corporate [20:42] <_hunter_> jeiam - docx support too ;] [20:42] jeiam: It will read practically most files you receive and you can "save as.." to Microsoft Office formats but sometimes there are small errors in the layout of the documents you send to others. [20:42] tensorpudding: i think it opens docx, but will not save it, in the offical release [20:42] jeiam: It will not support everything that Office 2003 supports, you might have to give it a try and see yourself. [20:42] and foremost, the openoffice powerpoint equivalent is .. no words to describe it [20:42] #sexo [20:43] need install help (livecd/fdisk/aligning). sadly in a bit over my head. http://paste.ubuntu.com/471590/ [20:43] docx support is good news - unfortunately it is an absolute imperative that it supports everything that microsoft office supports [20:43] does openoffice support presentations? [20:43] jelam: you may also use the free web-based office suit from mircosoft to open any problematic documents [20:43] <_hunter_> emm, yes ? :P [20:43] jeiam: yes [20:44] <_hunter_> just like i said [20:44] <_hunter_> open office only don't support mdb [20:44] okay, i will look into both of these suggestions - thank you all very much! [20:44] jeiam: Since you're already on Linux you should already have OpenOffice installed. Do some tests? Try to open some documents you already have and see the results? [20:44] <_hunter_> mdb = microsoft data base (access) [20:44] _hunter_, what is mdb? [20:44] jeiam: If Office support is paramount, and you have licenses for 2003 that you bought and paid for, it would probably be best to purchase CrossOver and use Office through that. [20:44] _hunter_, ok [20:44] <_hunter_> abhijit, no problem [20:44] jelam: also check http://office.microsoft.com/ [20:44] openoffice comes embedded already, most of the time.. but either way, easily doomed into your distro use. [20:45] headkase314: i am on my home computer right now, but tomorrow i will look into openoffice support [20:45] Hey, i just goofed- I was trying to install tigervnc, and in the process i somehow uninstall xserver-common ... which appears to have uninstalled a bunch of stuff, but when i try to sudo apt-get install xserver-common, it fails [20:45] lil help- my boot is kinda messed up [20:45] from what you have all said, it sounds like a decent replacement for the microsoft suite [20:45] jeiam: all this info can be gathered in the oo.org website [20:45] I have an acer aspire 3810TZ and my mic doesn't work at all. I have tried gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and it isn't helping much.

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [20:47] _hunter_ yes?_ [20:47] jeiam: Microsoft does not generally support Linux for reasons stemming from their business model.

[20:48] tensorpudding: my business requires internet explorer 8 [20:48] <_hunter_> !jeiam but you have other, like firefox, google chrome, opera [20:48] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:48] jelam: google releases a very good web browser for windows, mac and gnu/linux, it can be even used as the "engine" for existing IE installations, giving you the advantage of having the same IE interface but using a modern, very secure browser [20:49] jeiam: There is an IE emulation mode in Google Chrome I think. [20:49] Or was that Firefox that had that IE mode [20:49] tensorpudding: it's called, Chrome Frame [20:49] <_hunter_> i think that was firefox [20:49] <_hunter_> i don't see it in chrome [20:49] i'm not sure if any of these suggestions are feasible - my business develops websites for the internet explorer browser [20:49] tensorpudding: _hunter_: firefox has an IE Tab, it's a different thing [20:49] It was an extension [20:49] I tried other forums and I tried on ubuntu website and had no luck [20:49] why does one need to use ie anyway, i mean it reads data in an opensource format? what do you have that needs I.E? [20:50] I had some help in ubuntu women but still having no luck [20:50] ResQue: corporate intranet software requires IE, is what jeiam said [20:50] ResQue: my business develops websites for internet explorer. [20:50] jelam: unless they use very specific technologies, like activex, using a different modern browser, won't be a problem at all [20:50] tensorpudding: did he mention the software, 80% of the time i have had problems i just changed the refer head in firefox and it worked fine [20:50] ilovefairuz: we require that our clients do not use a different browser :( [20:50] Netflix uses activex. [20:50] :/ [20:51] In this world with Mac and Linux and mobile devices, requiring people to use IE is just ridiculous [20:51] ^ [20:51] ^ [20:51] hear hear [20:52] In this world with Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, etc. it's silly to require IE [20:52] Hi could someone direct me to help on installing a third party package to ubuntu please, The program is btanks and the readme mentions 'scones' if that would be of any help in direction. Thanks [20:52] tensorpudding: other browsers are not in high enough demand for our company to develop for them. there is an ie for mac, i am to understand? also, mobile devices have ie mobile. [20:52] not to mantion you must follow standars... and IE is *not* a standar [20:52] with html 5 and the iphone i think we will be seeing a lot less of activex and flash, i hope so anyway [20:52] jelam: then you'll end having to tear your web interface and rebuilt it at some point n the future, supporting popular modern browsers is a lot easier now than before [20:52] Screw the operating systems. You have to deal with all those browsers regardless of your platform [20:52] jeiam: Which mobile devices use IE mobile? Surely no iPhone or Android phone or Blackberry? [20:52] jeiam: Your requirements are "locking-in" to Microsoft technologies. Open alternatives take more work but generally give you more control - if that is a priority for you - over your own information. [20:53] jeiam: IE for Mac hasn't been supported in years. [20:53] My internet connection information speed says unknown or 1mbps does anyone know how to fix this? [20:53] headkase314: microsoft technology is a standard in the workplace, which is why we require it :/ [20:53] <_hunter_> so why you install ubuntu? [20:53] i was unaware that ubuntu lacked support for microsoft technology before i installed it [20:54] jeiam: Why do you just support ie? Most things should be quite easy in cross-browser dev nowadays. [20:54] jelam: most modern browsers just use one of two engines, gecko and webkit, so they work in a very very close manner [20:54] jeiam: Hold on MS isnt the standard in the work place, its the standard in your work place [20:54] VM Widows and use Office [20:54] phaer: most of the sites we create often do not display correctly in sites other than ie... [20:54] Virtualization probably isn't an option for underpowered office computers [20:55] true... underpower is such a depressing contept.. I love my beast.. [20:55] jelam: than you have incompetent web developers [20:55] ResQue: and other workplaces besides. [20:55] hi all [20:55] jelam: professional web developers keep compatibility in mind at all times [20:55] I often forget my VMs require such taxing on my processors.. [20:55] jeiam: Well then its a problem of your sites. It should be possible for any company to accept web standards and create a few workarounds for old browsers like ie 6.

[20:55] jeiam: You need to re-think your situation very carefully. Open is a very sound position, proprietary technologies are the opposite of that. You need a top to bottom evaluation of your priorities. Google "Open Source vs. Proprietary" to get some reading materal. [20:55] does anyone know a website indicating speed up of of Lucid at boot time ? [20:56] *material [20:56] jeiam: i admit that a lot of work places use windows, but its not the standard every where, and 90% of windows network will be reliant on a linux kernal somewhere in there inferstructure [20:56] jeiam: no need to comment, it's obvious [20:56] scribawf: Try to start it from a terminal and look at the output.

[21:41] did you use a key server or just google there domain, i couldnt see anything on there homepage [21:41] installed programs, files and such, like i've installed chromium, media players, yada yada [21:42] lathan: you could transfer application settings by copy the .* stuff (like the directories) in .config [21:43] ilovefairuz: i see, guess i just missed the link, what link did you click on the homepage first? [21:43] lathan: i think (and i could be wrong) that the persistence file uses unionfs and so merging it completely is rather very tricky [21:44] how can i reset the keyring?

[21:52] Enter text here...hello all [21:52] andrewax, It is possible to install using wubi but that is not a normal install. The proper way is to use a live CD and create a new partition(s) for ubuntu. [21:52] n0pz, MM sounds very tricky. I'm not sure what to do. Never worked with anything like that before! [21:53] i had a wubi too that went wrong :( [21:53] grubtrouble: ok type, in a terminal: sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt [21:53] ilovefairus: I know what, if you install Ubuntu inside windows with wubi [21:53] anybody using NX server?

I got some trouble because the installation says its not possible to determine the codename for the release. [21:54] it's the alternate install [21:54] ilovefairus: but if Ubuntu is phisically installed, you can try a fsck or reinstall grub [21:54] im pretty sure updating grub will make it unbootable, since it's in such a weird state now :( [21:54] grubtrouble: make what unbootable? [21:55] my computer [21:55] grubtrouble: if ubuntu is installed correctly on sda7, then it will work just fine [21:55] cablop: hard link not allowed for a directory it seems. ilovefairuz so it's impossible to get the original path?

[21:56] when you do "sudo ti" [21:56] if i run the update manager and it upgrades grub and kernel, how can i be sure it wont be in a nonbootable state again? [21:56] mcnellis: the extra features are only for that special directory [21:56] if I remove tcl/tk 8.4 installation (I installed 8.5) will I break something? [21:56] surfereddie: vi ? press ":q" then enter [21:56] #cbase [21:56] i never hear about ti [21:56] where in the heck do you find that [21:56] in vi you can type :q! [21:56] High_Priest: try; if something depends on it apt will tell you [21:57] erUSUL, thanks [21:57] ilovefairuz: yes I know, that's why I want to get redirected to the special directory lol [21:57] thanks both of you [21:57] grubtrouble: to what state? if ubuntu is booting fine now, then what is your problem ? [21:57] surfereddie: if you want to save changes you have to do ":wq" [21:57] can you help-me? [21:57] surfereddie: in the future use nano. is easier. [21:57] Tall: What's your problem? [21:57] channel in Portugueses is #Ubuntu_BR?

Neither I dominate it [21:58] so, can anyone tell me what I would need to do in this situation? I have a 2 GB SD card with a Live-Persistent version of Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 on it. Now, I want to install this on my internal HDD, but I want to transfer all the stuff from my SD version to the full install (as i've installed programs, made changes to the OS, etc.). I would just copy the SD to the HDD completely, but the SD is a "live" version. any ideas anyone? [21:58] great [21:58] surfereddie you can try nano or mcedit what are more friendly [21:59] grubtrouble: then use the commands i've given you [21:59] I nano in the software center? [21:59] nano alread come installed ;) [21:59] surfereddie: yes it is [21:59] surfereddie: is installed by default [21:59] yes [21:59] andreway, do you use NX server? [21:59] just type nano [21:59] no [21:59] <|grzesag|> Hi I need to set up ssl over http using virtual host? [21:59] ilovefairuz, what guarantee do i have grub is in an ok state after running that?

[22:01] yeah, someone mentioned !clone, but i don't know what that means [22:01] you'd have to use clonezilla or something similar [22:01] lathan, are you in the live-persistent sd session now?

[22:03] frenchy: the nvidia controll center doesnt wkrk? [22:03] would that make the HDD version a live install though? and not a full-install?

[22:04] lathan, is the drive itself a live-only? or totally persistent, so that if you install in app when running ubuntu off the SD, then reboot, the app is still there? [22:04] surfereddie: i was looking out an nxserver howto i wrote a while ago... [22:04] Hilikus, how do I double check? [22:04] have anyone upgraded from 9:10 to 10.04 overtop of their previous installation? I've heard some people only like installing each version, from a clean install. What are the pro's and cons to each method? [22:04] irvken: you are op in that channel [22:05] gotroot: ps aux | grep serverName [22:05] mcphail - thanks I've been trying to figure it out for days [22:05] yes, it is persistent, that is, if i install something, it is still on my SD when i reboot. however, when ubuntu starts up i still click "test ubuntu" and i want to avoid this with a full install [22:05] nathanhelp: quicker to do fresh intall and less conflict. [22:05] but at the same time, i want to keep the changes I made to my SD when I install UNR fully to my HDD [22:05] magicianlord :howso? [22:05] fresh installs never go wrong really, and get fresh new better performance etc [22:05] nathanhelp: clean install will likely give you a lot less problems, upgrade will keep all your existing settings intact, you can copy your home directory though [22:06] mcphail - i'd settle for local connection just so I don't have to switch monitor and keyboard [22:06] Hilikus, I never set a servername. I can't find the ircd.conf anywhere. However, from the looks of ps aux, the server isn't running [22:06] surfereddie: http://pastebin.com/RB4knjuM - it is a bit out of date as you'll see, but uses google's nx stuff [22:06] nathanhelp: i usually upgrade. most of the times i have no problems. the advtanges is that i highly customize everything so a fresh install needs customization all over again [22:06] gotroot: servername i mean the name of the process [22:06] mcphail - have you ever done it? I'd hate to switch to another product. [22:06] Hilikus, yes that's where I'm leaning too. (customisation) [22:06] gotroot 380 0.0 0.0 3320 792 pts/1 S+ 22:06 0:00 grep --color=auto irc [22:07] surfereddie: see my paste - that's how i did it [22:07] I think that's the server?

Is there a way to run it on the same filesystem as my winxp? [22:07] gotroot: no, that's 'grep' itself [22:07] is there a way to quickly "copy" customisations onto a new fresh install?

[22:08] goodbye all [22:08] where did my helper go? :-p [22:08] z0r0: you're probably looking for the wubi method [22:08] gotroot: if it's not running you need to start it using "service" [22:08] lathan, cloning will keep the changes, but i'm guessing that there's something on the persistent sd, some kind of script or program that runs at boot, that generates that "try ubuntu" screen, so clozing wouldn't remove it [22:08] cloning* [22:08] I'm not sure, I downloaded the server from irc-hybrid.com, done ./configure then sudo make && sudo make install [22:08] gotroot: sudo service irc_whatever start [22:08] ilovefairuz: Thanks : ) [22:08] !wubi > z0r0 [22:08] z0r0, please see my private message [22:09] gotroot: why are you compiling it?? why not get it from the repos?

[22:09] !wubi > z0r0 [22:09] z0r0, please see my private message [22:09] gotroot: when installing programs, allways try the repos first [22:09] gotroot: I suggest you read the irc-hybrid documentation [22:09] hmm [22:09] c3l, it doesnt have HD resolutions [22:10] mcphail - whoa that looks good. but the problem I think is something in my server authorization. I'm to much of a networking noob [22:10] z0r0: ooops sorry; did not see the previous one [22:10] erUSUL, ^ [22:10] mcphail- thanks again peace [22:10] so, what's the difference between full install and live-persistent, aside from the prompt to try/install ubuntu? i tried to do a full install to the 2GB SD, but it said I needed 2.4 GB free and my SD is only 2GB, so somehow the live-persistent, is only 700MB allowing for 1.3 GB of persistence. What makes the full-install so much bigger? [22:10] Hilikus, jrib, c31, IdleOne: I read it from the tutorial here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IrcServer [22:10] erUSUL: no prob. [22:10] frenchy: thats strange, it should have all available resolutions. are you sure your GPU can handle it? [22:10] gotroot: use the first method they mentioned, not the second one [22:10] gotroot: try /server localhost [22:11] live persistant is on an usbdrive > while a full instakk is on harddrive os [22:11] ^install [22:11] lathan: its a trade off of speed and ram ussage. [22:11] lathan: I guess the full one contains all packages unpoacked etc, go for the smaller one if you just want to install [22:11] IdleOne: It says unable to connect. [22:11] gotroot: sudo apt-get install ircd-hybrid [22:11] Hilikus: I will try that now. Thankyou. [22:11] c3l, yes it works fine on windows, its going to a rear projection HDTV throught the s-video out [22:11] gotroot: then the server is not running [22:11] lathan: it contains all packages, or at least downloads them if any is missing after the install is complete [22:11] lathan: also if you ever try to 'update/upgrade' a live-persis. setup. You will fill up that 1.3gb real real fast [22:12] frenchy: can svideo take hd? [22:12] Hilikus: Thankyou! :) It works! [22:12] frenchy: im sorry, I dont know much about graphics [22:12] okay, so i guess i will just start over with a full install and just install things again as i need them [22:12] Svideo can not do 'HD' video last i checked. :) [22:12] gotroot: if you install from source you don't get all the post-installation configuration and you won't be notified of updates [22:12] In Nautilus, how do I move the tabs to the top? [22:12] lathan: a full install may not fit on a 2gb flash. I would suggest a 4 to 8gb at a min [22:13] gotroot: always go for packaged installations [22:13] Hilikus: Thankyou, I will always try the repo's first from now on :) [22:13] Dr_Willis: yeah, my netbook HDD has a 4 GB partition, i will do a full install on that [22:13] fulll install is best on an 8 gig [22:13] lathan: a Hute 4gb! :0 I got 5+GB in just wallpaper and fonts. :) [22:14] gotroot: I must ask, why do you want to run your own irc server? there are pleny of servers, a channel or two would suffice [22:14] lathan, yes, what Dr_Willis said. That's not really a lot of space. You may also want to try something like Lubuntu (base ubuntu install but w/ LXDE instead of Gnome) which is a little smaller [22:14] can someone check this out for me... go cat /bin/rmdir and ctrl + z half way through and tell me what their terminal looks like [22:14] unfortunately, the OS that comes with an EEEPC 901 is horrible. and i don't have many options with the way they used 2 separate drives... [22:15] it seems to completely screw up the font. if i just rerun the command it fixes it but until then (even logging in and out) it stays all screwed up [22:15] wolfric: that's spected [22:15] how do i refer to someone in the chat (i'm using pidgin)? [22:15] why does it happen? [22:15] lathan: or just skip the whole DE, use some slim wm and youre fine (if youre used to do some tinkering on your own to make things appear as you want) [22:16] lathan: usually just like this [22:16] wolfric: dumping random binary data in a terminal is a secure way to desconfigure it... [22:16] can I click on someone's name or i type it myself? [22:16] lathan: most clients have auto completion, type some keys and press tab [22:16] lathan, just like here [22:16] erusul: could you do anything malicious with it? [22:16] wolfric: the binary data has code/char secuences ( scape codes) that reprogram the terminal emulator [22:17] Hilikus: thanks, that worked [22:17] ^ = xchat tab [22:17] wolfric: use the 'reset' command to reset the terminal back to normal.. and stop catting 'binaries' to the terminal :) [22:17] lathan: np [22:17] c3l: what did you mean by skipping the whole DE (?) and use slim wm? [22:17] wolfric: you can type "reset" hit enter when that happens ( there is a key combo too iirc ) [22:17] erusul: anyway to prevent it? other than catting binaries :) [22:18] wolfric: its printing binary to the terminal. so its printing escape codes and other special termional codes. [22:18] i was just curious if they were all compiled or were any shell scripts [22:18] Hilikus: Sorry to bother you again, in the ircd.conf it says to encrypt my password using '/usr/bin/mkpasswd' however that doesn't exist on my system... [22:18] wolfric: use the 'file' command on a binary. [22:18] wolfric: check with "file" first [22:18] gotroot: just type that in a terminal and see if ubuntu suggests a package that contains that bin [22:18] gotroot: otherwise, google it [22:19] Hilikus: Tried that, nothing. Will google. [22:19] ah thanks @dr_willis @ erusul :) [22:19] gotroot: it worked for me [22:19] i guess c3l is gone. So, for my 4 GB partition on my EEEPC 901. would I be better off with UNR or Lubuntu? [22:19] gotroot: hilikus@mazinger:~$ mkpasswd [22:19] The program 'mkpasswd' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [22:20] wolfric: most people do not realize that xterm and its ilk actually are emulating real hardware... (they are colling emulator for a reason ) [22:20] gotroot: it suggested the right package [22:20] lathan: gnome and KDE are DE (desktop environments) shipped with loads of packages and stuff, if youre short of space you should consider using a lightweight DE as previously stated, or like me for instance. im using xmonad and trayer. thats all I need, and its slim and powerfull :) [22:21] lathan: how familiar are you with linux and so on? [22:21] what audio player do you recommend? I was using amarok before while I was on kde but I'd satisfy with some small nice clean player (playlist/controls) [22:21] High_Priest: try the default Rhythmbox; [22:22] c3l: uh, not a lot. i can install things, i'm familiar with partitioning, but i don't stray to far from mainstream OSes as they have the most software available [22:22] High_Priest: Seconded, Rhythmbox - especially with the radio browser addon from the repositories : 1000's of stations! [22:22] lathan: to someone who is familiar with linux and looking for something really lightweight Id suggest archlinux, it doesnt really "just work", it requires some tinkering [22:22] lathan: okay, 4 gig you say. gimme a sec [22:23] High_Priest: Rhythmbox comes with some radio functionality but the add on is a different one to give many more stations. [22:23] On modern 10.04, how does one remotely log into a distribution before having to actually log onto gdm? [22:23] c3l: my only problem with less mainstream distros is usually the software that's available. or rather, fewer programs that can be easily installed. (for instance, ubuntu is usually an option when downloading a program). [22:23] lathan: archlinux has it all [22:24] lathan: check gentoo too [22:24] i wanted to try out chromium os, but i don't have a 64-bit to compile the code [22:24] c3l: thanks, i'll check out those two [22:24] or just 'plain' debian. thats what ubuntu is in the core. [22:26] anyone know any program or command (for terminal) which I can see clipboard history ? [22:27] "Damn Small Linux is a very versatile 50MB mini desktop oriented Linux distribution." [22:27] c3l: so will i have to worry about not being able to do something on archlinux that i could easily do on ubuntu? could i use wine for instance? [22:27] karlo: Check out Pastie -> http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/pastie-very-simple-clipboard-manager.html [22:28] greets === MattWB_ is now known as MattB === MattB is now known as MattWB [22:28] headkase314, ty [22:29] karlo: You're welcome! ;) [22:29] lathan: yeah, all common packages exists in the repos, and alot less common too. the community is really helpful and they have a great wiki where everything can be found. many of my ubuntu probolems and so often have their solution in arch wiki ;) [22:29] #topic [22:29] join #topic [22:29] and its light! [22:29] c3l: cool, perhaps i'll check it out later [22:30] c3l: how light are we talking? [22:30] lathan: yeah do that, but it expects you to do most of the work, or at least configure it to do it for you :P [22:31] i've searched a lot but to no avail, my logs are full of "end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector XYZ", root fs fills up, the vts are unusable. All this is with an audio cd on [22:31] what on earth is it? [22:32] some people know if is possible sand command AT^ to modem USB HSDPA UMTS with network manager [22:32] guampa: if the disc is clean, then or your drive is broken or drm [22:33] guampa: not sure, but sr0 is your cdrom [22:33] it isn't broken, i can read & write discs and this cd isnt drmed [22:33] well, thanks, everyone, for the input. i'll do some review checking and maybe try a lighter distro. [22:33] hello [22:34] guampa: a lot of audio disc have drm on them without saying it on the box [22:35] hspaans: this specific disc has a 1% chance of being drmed, i know sounds nonsensical but it's like that [22:36] i am using ubuntu with wubuilder. can i install lynx on a system and overwrite wubi's folder on root,to get my settings and desktop environment [22:37] Hello! [22:37] i'm kind of forced to have a disc in the drive, been 3 o 4 years that ubuntu throws lots of io errors (other kind) if i don't [22:38] and a data cd wont do as it starts to index or cache something and spins too much [22:38] anyone can reppy please [22:39] hi [22:39] Would someone be able to help me with my version of 9.10 semi-crashing the system every time I try to boot from disk? [22:40] these two probs seem to be the last ones i have in my setup, i really wish i could do something about it [22:40] does anyone know how to change the default theme for gnome's menu bar? mine's always blue for some reason. [22:41] My friend gave me some Ubuntu disk to try out, but left no instruction on how to use it. Now I can't get my PC to run it. [22:41] I meant the bar where 'Applications', 'Places', etc. are [22:41] @mun: does this help? http://www.linuxnov.com/replace-default-gnome-menu-bar-with-gnomenu-applet/ [22:41] http://www.linuxtoday.com/infrastructure/2009092300435OSGNSW [22:41] http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/GNOME.html [22:42] @ GreenBerry: what shows up[ when you stick the disk into the drive? [22:42] Sneebs, thanks. i'll try that. [22:42] I can't make promises, I just googled it. [22:42] ;) [22:42] It's a window [22:43] noone with MCP based laptops has had IO errors? [22:43] "Demo and full installation", "Install inside Windows", and "Learn More" [22:43] @GreenBerry: so, you stick the disk into the drive, a window pops up (I assume you're running this on a microsofy/windows system [22:43] I am running Windows XP [22:44] Lucky man! I'm running Vista, my main reason for making me want to try linux [22:44] Go to My Computer, right clikc on your CD rom drive (you know where that is?) and click explore [22:44] so I have an hp mini 210 netbook, and i've been following forum posts on how to enable some of the multitouch features of the trackpad.. everything is great except i can't click and drag, or drag and highlight.. any ideas? [22:44] K [22:45] I'm gonna assume no one can help me with my quandary, then? [22:46] I removed my connection, clock, and shutdown/logout items from a panel. I restored the clock, but I don't see an option to restore the connection and shutdown button (the shutdown button is offered, but doesn't look the same or have options to customize it). [22:46] Alright, It popped up a bunch of folders and Files [22:46] Sneebs, What is a semi crash? What disk, the hdd or the cd ?? [22:47] I'm unsure what to do with this CD [22:47] Semi-crash is a term I'm just parroting from another source. it means that when I try loading the thing from disk, the screeen blinks on & off, the keyboards are sluggishly responsive [22:47] hello everyone [22:47] Lol, that's my pc half the time xD [22:47] i.e. keystrokes take upwards of minutes to show up [22:48] @greenberry: Okay, then [22:48] can some one hlep me out please [22:48] Could you name any .exe files you see [22:48] muddtusk: the network applet shows up in the Notification Area, and the shutdown/logout items are in Indicator Applet Session [22:48] Sneebs, This from the CD or the hdd ??

[22:51] scot: yes [22:51] only alternate won't do [22:51] What about i other non.exe files [22:51] scot: not shut off, not included, you need the proprietary version from the virtualbox website [22:51] scot: The USB support isn't included in the OSE is it? [22:51] No files called Readme? [22:51] scot: only the non-free version has usb support [22:51] gah [22:52] morpf, alright. what is the resolution of your monitor? [22:52] There is not a readme, no. [22:52] Okay, Green [22:52] Why was it disabled, anyone know? [22:52] scot: it was never enabled [22:52] @gbillings: I think this is the problem I had too [22:52] scot: #vbox for questions like that [22:52] I have an acer 5930g...ubuntu 10.04..and I am experiencing the same problem as this guys...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9660320 [22:53] 1280 x 800 [22:53] iceroot, well I got it from Ubuntu so...ok, i'll ask over there [22:53] Green:: ry the demo & install button on the window which came up. [22:53] Sneebs: do you know of a solution? i am preparing for a fresh reinstall right now. [22:53] K [22:53] scot, probably a ubuntu dependency issue [22:53] It says I need to reboot my machine [22:53] scot: there was never a usb-version in the ubuntu-repos [22:53] @gbillingsL that's why I came here. I don't know of a solution [22:53] Wiat a sec green [22:54] Wait..... mrof, this uis version 10.X, right [22:54] ? [22:54] iceroot, well I never used Vbox from the repositories before, I always got it direct from vbox, I thought it would be better to have managed version [22:54] I guess I was wrong [22:54] Green, are you using the same comuter to chat with us as you are using to install linux? [22:54] scot: use the vbox-repo === zz_zz_WhiteKIBA is now known as WhiteKIBA [22:54] scot: i believe it is the same version in the repo as from the site. i think. [22:55] gbillings: no [22:55] Yes, I am [22:55] scot, I always load the version from the oracle site [22:55] gbillings: repo = free, website = nonfree [22:55] scot: it is a license issue on the side of Sun / Oracle [22:55] gbillings, (forgot to highlight) my resulution is 1280 x 800 [22:55] Okay, green. This may get odd [22:55] iceroot: thank you. many thanks haha [22:55] @billings & Morpf: When you reboot, select F4 once the INSTALL UBUNTU screen shows up. Then select Safe mod [22:55] Odd how? Dancing monkeys odd? [22:56] Sneebs: i will try that later. thank you [22:56] Walk home alone odd. Nothing necessarily dangerous, but uncomfortable for neophytes [22:56] Idieally, you should be able to install. If not [22:57] Typing freezes the screen temporarily :( === gbillings is now known as LymeRa1n [22:57] wait so the version from ther vbox repo also hasn't USB support? [22:57] @gbillings: you nshould be able to install. Otehrwise, you'll run into the rpoblem I get when the machine starts to load, then the text of the command line starts blinking at siezure pace and keystrokes take minutes to register [22:57] gbillings, unfortunately the alternate cd doesn't have this option [22:57] Lol, I just wanted to get support because I know absolutely nothing about Ubuntu <.< [22:57] so maybe I need the tarball instead? [22:57] @Gtreen [22:57] Not big deal. You'll just have to go on your own without a chat. [22:57] Okok [22:57] I'll come back if there's a problem [22:57] Sorry, multitasking.

[23:00] It pops up asking if I want to reboot, reboot now, or reboot. Lol. [23:00] @Lyme:I was trying to help MORPH,. I thought you knew your stuff & were an advisor [23:00] Okay, Greenberry, once you click reeboot (reboot now, etc. I think the programmers here were having a lark) [23:00] GreenBerry, did you just install a driver?

OK. i know my stuff and am an experienced ubuntu user and can help people with numerous as i have my fair share of problems. I recenly tried to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix along side Ubuntu Desktop and it damaged my current installation. That was the problem. I very rarely ask question on here put frequently answer them. Thank you. [23:02] Valer: what command [23:02] Valer, ooooo [23:02] this command is fdisk /mbr [23:02] haha [23:03] mm I dont think its' funny [23:03] is that the command which installs something to the MBR [23:03] where do i put options for modules? seems like /etc/modprobe.d/options isnt used anymore in lucid [23:03] fdisk /mbr wouldnt make it so ubuntu couldnt read the drive [23:03] how to check why an usb boot 10.04 does not boot from 1 system but does from the other? [23:03] Oh, I see Lyme! Sorry! I'm a neophyte, but thin I can advise some folks on afew basic things. Your experience supercedes mine, but I feel I ought to contrubute rather than just come here asking for help [23:04] @Green: it should also tell you what version of Ubuntu you're using at some point, which will help you amazingly [23:04] Sneebs: its fine. everybody gets confused every now and then. it is completley understandable. === ubuntu_ is now known as Valer === boran_ is now known as boran [23:05] Glad we got that cleared up.

[23:16] weird and annoying ;( [23:16] just use ssh and tunnel [23:16] is there ?? [23:16] kerebrus, conky would work but is probably overkill. There are panel applets that do that and the screenlets package has widgets. [23:17] edbian conky is a huge pain for me [23:17] kerebrus, It can be that way :) [23:17] debian is pain for you? [23:17] kerebrus, Try the panel applets or the screenlets. [23:17] mccartney, Debian is a joy for me :) [23:17] debian is for loosers [23:17] edbian are they light? [23:18] kerebrus, The applets are lighter than the widgets. The widgets are not heavy. [23:18] how are you to make a sample test on .... [23:18] on.. [23:19] how speak there [23:19] kerebrus, Of course that's opinion... [23:19] of curse is veri nice to use linux === PsyTrance_ is now known as PsyTrance [23:20] aqui no español [23:20] mccartney, I realize you don't speak english well. Do you have a support question??

[23:23] dont goo [23:23] please please [23:23] kerebrus, Try them both. screenlets is usually preferred. [23:23] hm, the value of "ctrl" seems to be inverted. When it is pressed it is assumed not to be pressed, otherwise it assumed to be pressed. Weird. [23:23] edbian ok thanks [23:24] is funny the english if im not know [23:24] Anyone know if there is a way, to automatically delete the oldest files in a directory, if the filesystem begins to fill up? [23:25] talntid, Short of writing your own program no. [23:25] talntid, that is "NO" I don't know of any way.

[23:29] ubuntu is hard to use [23:29] but you use windows??? [23:29] like off a router for wirless internet [23:29] its better [23:29] sparky, OOoo, wireless access code [23:30] sparky, Doesn't the applet save it for you? [23:30] edbian: no i have had to put it in every time i connect to it [23:30] sparky, Look at the keyring manager. [23:30] I set a keyboard shortcut to the command 'nautilus /home/joe/Dropbox/', and it doesn't seem to be working [23:31] are you use the wifislax or wifiway??? [23:31] is funny [23:31] !ops mccartney [23:31] edbian; under passwords and encription keys? [23:32] sparky, Ummm, yes?

[23:33] could anyone give me a hand using festival (pretty simple and hardly program specific issue). I'm trying to go $festival (SayText "message") however it's saying syntax error. However if you run festival and type that in it works [23:33] because [23:33] no. this channel is about legal Ubuntu support. [23:34] sparky, I have no idea. I just saw this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=535951 [23:34] no is mad if you to use with care [23:34] if you dont have of money [23:34] mccartney, If you don't have a question then stop talking. [23:34] edbian; ok thanks ill take a look at it === zz_thyri0n is now known as thyri0n [23:35] im question for you [23:35] your english isn't very understandable. have you tried #ubuntu-es? [23:36] sparky, Good luck. It appears to be right under your nose :) [23:36] my english not is perfect [23:36] i know [23:36] is there anything like Bitvise Tunnelier for linux? [23:36] LjL, I sent him !es. He ignores it. [23:36] but i want to learn [23:37] mccartney, this is not the right channel to learn enough - try going to ##english or #ubuntu-offtopic [23:37] mccartney: this channel tends to be very busy [23:37] busy ??? you dont very friend [23:38] busy only obama [23:38] has wine1.3 been packaged anywhere yet? [23:38] hi [23:38] Okay, so there's no more xorg.conf -- is there a way I can *get* one for my current configuration? I need to modify it. [23:39] how do I sign the Ubuntu code of Conduct? [23:39] if you use the ubuntu is for a intention??? [23:39] who?? [23:39] I've got the asc file output but I cannot read its contents [23:39] the crack? [23:39] edbian; i found it where you sugested and it is saved corectly so hopping its just one of those things that you have to do a few times before your computer knows to save it [23:39] jimbo_, yes, you can create an xorg.conf. you'll need to drop to a command prompt to do it, though, unless you already know all the settings you want to use [23:39] is better to work for th money [23:40] sparky, You should only have to tell it once. Glad I could help. [23:40] d9500: I mean, how can I get an xorg.conf that represents my current video settings, as a starting point? Creating one entirely from scratch is undesirable [23:40] now im use the xubuntu and is very nice but [23:40] for intel core 2 duo process which is the best i586 or i686 ? [23:40] hard [23:41] is crazy [23:41] in moments [23:41] jimbo_, ok, write down what i'm about to say,or copy and paste it in your text editor of choice, then print it...b/c when you drop from the point-and-click GUI to a command line environment, you'll lose the IRC window. [23:41] jimbo_, use xorg -configure. Look at the man page. Does exactly what you're looking for. [23:42] the kernel the paquets the terminal the ... [23:42] s/n ratio ++ [23:42] Could someone assist me in updating grub (after i broke it) via my live cd? [23:43] ibrokegrub, Have you booted the live cd already? [23:43] but the americans are intelligents [23:43] edbian, yes, but he has to be outside of X to do that, and I once made the mistake of telling someone how to stop X without wanring him that he would lose the GUI..so I'm trying not to do that here. === jmad980 is now known as prunk [23:43] is the linux-headers-ibm-x.x.x-x kernel for all IBM / Intel processors? [23:43] edbian, yes. i am on it now [23:43] Intel core 2 duo in particular [23:43] d9500, Really? You can't create an xorg.conf file using that command while running X ?? [23:43] d9500: It's okay, I've been a linux admin for some years. Just don't mess with X much. [23:43] mccartney: what is your native language? [23:44] catalan [23:44] of spain [23:44] edbian, if you try while in X, you get a fatal error, server is already active for screen 0" error message [23:44] edbian, silly me i disabled the os_prober in grub, and now of course i only get a grub console for boot :P [23:44] d9500, I just saw that. You learn something new everday! [23:44] but the english is betterç [23:44] d9500: edbian: I dont have an `xorg` executable anyway, so what package am I missing?

[23:44] of curse [23:45] anyone could help with bash programming? [23:45] Hello [23:45] asus: what is it? [23:45] ibrokegrub, I don't know how to edit that in grub 2 anymore! :( [23:45] ibrokegrub, I don't think I can help. I was just going to explain how to reinstall grub to your hdd using a live CD. [23:45] am I invisible or does no one know? [23:45] ibrokegrub, on the live CD grub-install --root-dir=/path/to/mounted/fs /dev/sdXY [23:45] jimbo_, in that case, if you're comofortable outside of the GUI, then just hit ctl+alt+f1 to switch to a virtual terminal, then type sudo service gdm stop (and maybe sudo killall X for good measure) then run the command Xorg -configure. It will create the xorg.conf file in /root, so you will need to copy it over to /etc/X11 [23:46] edbian, i know how to edit it, but i am not sure how to update-grub. reinstalling grub kept my botched config [23:46] d9500: oh, capital Xorg. Gotcha, [23:46] im so happy when im speak english [23:46] !ca | mccartney [23:46] mccartney: Canadian Ubuntu users can be found in #ubuntu-ca [23:46] is better that the other [23:46] lol [23:46] edbian, ive already fixed the error i made in /etc/default/grub [23:46] d9500: but gnome (or whoever) sets up my displays for me. If I stop gdm, Xorg -configure doesn't seem likely to give me what I want. [23:47] catalan is differnt of the canadian [23:47] I'm in Canada, am I in the wrong channel!? Silly me! ;) [23:47] ibrokegrub, then you just have to run the command I showed you. [23:47] hi [23:47] ibrokegrub, Mount the root partition somewhere in your filesystem. Do you know how to do that?? [23:47] is very different [23:47] !andorra | mccartney [23:47] andorra ??? [23:47] mccartney: yes i know, i thought it might recognize ca=catalan [23:47] edbian, mount /dev/devxY /temp/ [23:47] how this?? [23:47] i need video converter for ubuntu [23:48] vlc [23:48] jimbo_, today's X and desktop environments tend to auto-configure..there still exists the option to use the settings in xorg.conf, though. If you create the file, and the syntax is correct, then I would think X should read the settings from it. [23:48] ibrokegrub, That'll do. You have it mounted? [23:48] anybody could help in bash scripting? [23:48] how ubuntu use sweetpi ?? [23:48] xubuntu kubuntu ?? [23:48] jimbo_, for example, I always had to manually make an xorg.conf when i used the nvidia binary driver downloaded from nvidia's website. [23:49] ibrokegrub, What is your hdd? /dev/sda ? [23:49] Since I've always felt that Nvidia drivers for older graphics cards break some functionality in Ubuntu, I have decided to try to force screen resolutions. How would I go about doing this? (Xorg Cfg has changed, from what I can tell. [23:49] edbian, i had tried that (grub-install --root-dir=/path/to/mounted/fs /dev/sdXY) but it seemed to have kept the grub config [23:49] d9500: back shortly, let's see what I get. === vera83 is now known as tj83 [23:49] jimbo_, ok. [23:49] mdxblog: i've installed arista, haven't used it though [23:49] ibrokegrub, (not sure if you need sudo) grub-install --root-directory=/temp /dev/sda [23:50] @asus: what is it? [23:50] ibrokegrub, it's --root-directory not --root-dir, /dev/sda not /dev/sda1 or something. [23:50] ibrokegrub, and you might need root. === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [23:50] ibrokegrub, It take the configure file found in /boot under the root-directory. [23:50] how much to years to take to learn this language [23:50] ??? [23:50] is hard [23:50] ibrokegrub, This command installs grub to the hdd based on the stuff it finds in the root-directory [23:51] !ops | mccartney [23:51] mccartney: Help! Channel emergency!

[23:52] aha cat not ca [23:52] is boring this channel [23:52] mccartney: It's not suppose to be fun. [23:52] mccartney: We're here to support people. [23:52] stop feeding the troll [23:53] sweetpi: Nothing to do with cats though. [23:53] edbian, from liveCD/root or from mounted-install/root [23:53] are you profesional jpds?? [23:53] wowww¿¿¿ [23:53] ibrokegrub, From the --root-directory=/some/path [23:53] mccartney: stop it please === f0rm4t is now known as ddr2 [23:53] jpds: yes i know hehe, just thought ca was the language code for catalan [23:54] ibrokegrub, It would do the liveCD's root but you gave it that option so it choosed the root of the mounted fs. [23:54] Hey, guys. How do I change the default trash limit? [23:55] Cause it's like 10mb right now, it's ridic [23:55] Less than 10mb... I don't even know [23:55] can i install ubuntu without a bootloader? [23:55] edbian, hmm, ok tell me if this is nuts. if i copy the 10_blah files and the grub file to the live cd's virtual file system, and run update-grub on it, will that them put the proper grub back on sda1 ? [23:55] does anyone know where I can get the default /etc/ssh/sshd_config file? [23:55] google! [23:55] :) [23:55] ibrokegrub, In theory. [23:56] whoever I was just talking to, `Xorg -configure` segfaults. Meh. [23:56] ibrokegrub, But that's the whole point of using --root-directory. Why don't you do it that way? [23:56] jimbo_, can you pastebin the error? [23:56] why is GRUB so difficult to fix? why can't it just be, you boot up with a CD and say, reinstall GRUB in /dev/sda [23:56] ibrokegrub, Also, you don't install grub to /dev/sda1 you install it to /dev/sda the entire hdd not just 1 partition. [23:56] edbian, because doing that seems to grab the grub.cfg that is on it now, and i need to do an update-grub on it to fix it 1st [23:57] ibrokegrub, ahhh, try that then. I think you can update-grub --some-dir or something too. [23:57] hola [23:58] ibrokegrub, Looking at the man-page there doesn't appear to be an option like that. Yeah, do update grub and then copy the files. Good luck with that! :) [23:58] hay jente de spain [23:58] d9500: no error, just a backtrace. Right after loading fbdev successfully, I think fglrx driver's next and that's where it faults.
