It doesn't show up in my network list, even after entering the network manually! [00:01] hiku: I never used it, but something like that. On windows I used Limewire, but that's on big spyware dumping garbage on my disk. [00:01] ActionParsnip: I bought CD's but they are either scratched or lost somehow. [00:02] andaluz: most p2p networks are just garbage now [00:02] andaluz: use a bittorent search engine like isohunt [00:02] Oh I want my Telus stick monkeys fishes hippopotamus to work please pretty please!

[00:08] ntr0py: If the file was created having the executable flag, then you will see it executable [00:08] ntr0py: if you have a re-writable CD, then you can chmod those files. (I think). [00:08] nakhlawi: you think the permissions are set inside the iso? [00:09] What about Huawei E182E how do I use that in Ubuntu? It makes me sad because I can't find it in the Novell Network Internet Manager and so I don't know where it hid. It must be small like a mouse and so I can't find it anywhere that I look because it is so small and hidden.

Do you have more than 2GB of ram? [00:14] ActionParsnip: wicd? [00:14] I have 2 GB of RAM [00:14] install 64bit anyway [00:14] barrito: its an alternative to network-manager [00:14] oh ok [00:15] question ~ is there a better way to edit the ~/.ssh/known_hosts (in case of remote host key change) other then pico/vi blindly?

[00:15] tarutaru: rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts =) [00:15] kill3r3k: Then clean it off [00:15] MeXTuX: 32bit is still more supported by 3rd party sources but you can use either.

The cure is to not use the vga= option any more. Use "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1024x768" or whatever resolution you want, in /etc/default/grub, instead. [00:18] Swistaczek: you need to check the run level scripts [00:18] ActionParsnip: given ubuntu is marketed as a free operating system, i don't see why we should make concessions to non-free garbage. [00:18] nakhlawi: not exactly, I want run my ruby script when all systems goes up, when user get logged [00:18] nakhlawi: I have automatic login enabled [00:18] ActionParsnip: i have a Brother printer and use 64-bit. there are FLOSS PPD files for most Brother printers included by default. [00:19] hi [00:19] jk_, thx will try it! but I dont have nvidia card [00:19] i find the best way to deal with crap hardware is to not own any [00:19] Swistaczek: if the login is using bash, then you can use the bash configuration files. [00:19] cast: its a constraint of the poor support, yes but if thats what the user has bught into then they must play the game [00:19] nakhlawi: for example .bashrc in profile? [00:19] cast: indeed its a good idea to buy Linux compatible hardware, if going to run it [00:20] cast: either way telling users to always install 64bit OS just because they have a 64bit cpu is impractical [00:20] nakhlawi: How I can run system command via bash ?

[00:21] i want to install the nvidia drivers but i need to reboot without X, how i do that? [00:21] Swistaczek: then you need to check the login scripts of the GUI itself, bash scripts won't help you.

Let me see [00:29] jk_: So eth0 works fine after I configured its properties in /etc/networking/interfaces [00:29] jk_: That is the one NIC that has a default GW. [00:29] paddy_melon: I'm done. you know when you have a thought, you just have to get it out. =) [00:29] hiku, I understand [00:29] jk_, GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1280x1024 and it works as a charm, thanks!!! [00:29] RichardRaseley, Then /etc/network/interfaces should work provided each adapter comes up with the same "eth" number every time. You can create udev rules to force this; I use that on my own router box. [00:30] RichardRaseley: I can't tell completely your issue, but make sure ifconfig -a shows all of the devices, and you may want to look at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [00:30] jk_: The other two didn't get picked up (or at least no settings created by default) during the install.

[00:31] is there a oneliner on the command line to enable a repository? [00:31] RichardRaseley, check the udev rules file that eternalswd_work mentioned. You may have to do some digging to get the MAC addresses for the other adapters, though. [00:31] eth1* [00:31] lahwran: yes, the one you were just told about...

I know there is a way to do it and I just need to write a sed -i to do it [00:33] jk_, eternalswd_work: I am looking at the file now, it looks somewhat like gibberish to me, but I can see each of the 3 "PCI" devices and their names - eth0, eth1, and eth2 [00:33] sro, Type their names at the cli. === savon is now known as Raiin [00:33] sro, What programs were they? Not all programs show up in the system menu. Not all of them even have a gui. [00:33] ActionParsnip, True [00:33] RichardRaseley: are they the same mac address, or different? [00:33] lahwran, That command as root. [00:33] edbian: sudo add-apt-repository 'deb ....' [00:33] lahwran: no, that's not the way... (you can, but there's an easier way). Both ActionParsnip's link and the info ubottu gave you, tell you how to do it. Read what people take the time to send you please [00:34] jk_, eternalswd_work: They all have their respective (different) MAC addresses there. [00:34] lahwran, See what jpds said? [00:34] yo how do you check how much ram you have [00:34] one waqs antivirus scanning for nautilus [00:34] sro: if you press ALT+F2 and start typing the name, does it suggest the apps you installed? [00:34] lahwran: don't run what edbian said as it will destroy your sources.list :) [00:34] Raiin: free -m [00:34] edbian, yes. now I feel bad for being lazy. [00:34] Raiin, free -m [00:34] thank u [00:34] jrib, I figured. [00:34] ActionParsnip, You beat me to it! :( [00:34] jrib, It [00:34] jrib, It won't append? [00:34] edbian: That's >> [00:34] jpds, Oh! That was at typo! :P Whoops [00:35] lahwran, Sorry about that I'll be more careful next time. [00:35] RichardRaseley, what the file does is to force the eth names during the boot process, so that if the numbers change from one boot to the next -- which they can and often do -- they will remain corrected. It's strange at first and takes some getting used to, but I find it great in practice, since I can swap eth0 and eth2 just by editing the file and re-booting. [00:35] lahwran, or go to system < admin < software sources on your bar [00:35] hiexpo, this is for a kde luser friend of mine. [00:35] hiexpo, He wanted a "one-liner" on the cli. [00:35] RichardRaseley: so you can't ping the ip address you set from within /etc/network/interfaces for eth1 or eth2? maybe try uninstalling network-manager if it's installed [00:35] apparently, kubuntu doesn't come with software sources. [00:35] jk_: Makes sense, thanks for the info. In this case I can see the MAC addresses and match them up to what I think they should be based on the Hyper-V manager. [00:36] edbian, lahwran oh ok sorry [00:36] eternalswd_work: I can ping the IP address that is assigned to the adapter from the Ubuntu box itself. [00:36] But nothing else on that network [00:37] I have an issue with creating a wiki page at wiki.ubuntu.com. It says "Unknown timezone error". what is the way out? [00:37] sure it does [00:37] RichardRaseley, can you ping the box in question from any other place on each network? [00:37] Will Ubuntu crash in 2032? How do I stop that? [00:38] thanks fellas i figured it out [00:38] one more question... whats a good software to repair a hard drive [00:38] jk_: I can ping the box on the IP address associated with the NIC that I configured first (during setup). [00:38] LetsGo67, let us know when it occurs in 2032 [00:38] jk_: But not from any of the other networks. [00:38] LetsGo67, It's 2038 btw [00:38] LetsGo67, I have a feeling the problem will be fixed by then. [00:38] geohacker https://wiki.ubuntu.com/geohacker then click edit page ;) [00:39] jk_: SO I have 3 NICs, one on the 192.168.1.0 / 24 network, one on the 192.168.2.0 /24 network, and one on the 192.168.3.0 / 24 network [00:39] LetsGo67, let us know when it occurs in 2032 [00:39] RichardRaseley, Network Manager is supposed to ignore any interfaces that are defined in /etc/network/interfaces and in my experience, it does. You can add a couple of files in /etc/default to totally disable Network Manager, though. I can tell you how if you want to do so; both are one-liners. [00:39] geohacker: or whatever page you wish [00:39] oops [00:39] ActionParsnip: but this is where I'm stuck. I need to login, during the login process it displays Unknown TImeZone Error [00:40] jk_: The one on the 1.0 network was configured on install as DHCP, then I went and set it to a static IP, it is the only one with a default gateway [00:40] jk_: Sure, it might be worth a try... I appreciate your time & help. [00:40] How do I block the Internet from going over a certain amount of MegaBytes bandwidth in Ubuntu? [00:40] i need a software to repair bad sectors.. any suggestions? [00:40] might as well fix it now 28 years early [00:40] ActionParsnip: UnknownTimeZoneError'Asia/Kolkata' [00:40] geohacker: hmm [00:40] LetsGo67: usually you would use your router/gateway QoS for that purpose. [00:41] RichardRaseley: so 192.168.1.0 / 24 works but the others don't? [00:41] how can i mount an iso image? [00:41] ActionParsnip: no what? :( [00:41] geohacker: could try in #ubuntu-meeting maybe [00:41] eternalswd_work: Yes. Only things of note are that it was the first interface configured during setup and the only interface that has a default gateway defined. [00:41] ActionParsnip: #ubuntu-meeting ?

I used this initially on 8.04 but it seems to work on 10.04 also. [00:42] ActionParsnip: thanks [00:42] geohacker: it's where I got my cloak when i became a member :D [00:42] jk_: Forgive me lack of familiarity with Ubuntu - but what are you suggesting I do with those two files? [00:42] infid: also http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-isos-easely-in-gnome-nautilus.html can be used in nautilus :D [00:42] hiku: But it is a 3G modem stick. [00:42] ActionParsnip: nice [00:42] For Wi-Fi I would use OpenDNS. [00:43] infid: the command line is pretty simple though [00:43] RichardRaseley, The command I used was "sudo echo "exit" >/etc/default/Default-Manager" and the same thing with different filename for the other. Takes effect at the next re-boot. [00:44] ActionParsnip: No response from the channel [00:44] LetsGo67: ah, no idea... [00:44] geohacker, They don't know what you're talking about. Not everybody in there is in here reading this too. [00:44] Hiku: This is wonderful for slowing down the Internet, if need be. However, how do I count my megabytes? Is there a widget? [00:44] geohacker, In fact I'm probably the only person that is. [00:44] RichardRaseley: are you sure the other two NICs are bridged properly in Hyper-V? Make sure they are External and not Internal or Private [00:44] jk_: sudo echo is not working correctly imo, you have to use tee [00:44] jk_: So do that for both Network-Manager and Network-Manager-Dispatcher [00:45] LetsGo67: screenlets or conky have ways to sum up and watch your network traffic [00:45] eternalswd_work: Yes, I am sure they are connected to the proper external network with the proper 802.1Q tag associated with them. [00:45] RichardRaseley, yep; I didn't use sudo to put them into 10.04, just copied from my 8.04 installation. [00:45] LetsGo67: or better yet, install iftop.. [00:46] jk_ Hmm.. it says permission denied when I run: sudo ech "exit">/etc/default/Network-Manager [00:46] eternalswd_work, RichardRaseley : very good point! [00:46] echo* [00:46] geohacker: could try #freenode , not very freenode related but they may be able to point you someplace nice [00:46] yaeh : ) [00:46] Hiku: Can I add it to the menu bar, just like the time? [00:46] The clock? [00:46] RichardRaseley: sudo doesn't traverse the > character [00:46] RichardRaseley: have you tried running /etc/init.d/networking restart or restarting the server? [00:46] LetsGo67: not iftop [00:47] eternalswd_work: I have tried restarting network, but not a full server reboot [00:47] ^ 3g card [00:47] hiexpo, hi btw [00:47] hey edbian [00:47] Hey, probably easy problem to fix here, but none of the images sent in emails are showing up for me in Empathy. I just recently set Empathy up, and they all show in Gmail, but images in Empathy just show up as that little red circle with a cross on a photo background. [00:47] LetsGo67: iftop runs in a terminal. conky is a widget, an screenlets has a bunch of widgets that just float around on your desktop whereever you place them === cahl-hith is now known as lap_dragon [00:48] LetsGo67, To install any one of them you run "sudo apt-get " [00:48] ActionParsnip: So how should I try to run that command? === C210|away is now known as Centurion210 [00:48] RichardRaseley, jk_ you can always "sudo -s" to get a root shell, run the one command without sudo, then exit the root shell. [00:48] eternalswd_work: OK, will try that. [00:48] hiku and edbian, let's see... [00:49] RichardRaseley: echo something | sudo tee /path/to/file [00:49] LetsGo67, conky is hard to set up. You need to manually write an exhaustive config file. Many people copy / paste someone elses. [00:49] LetsGo67, screenlets is probably the easiest. The entire setup is gui driven. [00:49] ActionParsnip: Thank you for the info. [00:49] Edbian: thanks. Conky scared me! [00:49] LetsGo67, What was the third choice? [00:49] eternalswd_work, jk_ : OK, so I did that - now I will try to restart the server [00:49] LetsGo67, Conky is powerful. Just not easy to set up. [00:50] iftop but terminal. [00:50] LetsGo67: yeah conky is a bit nuts. [00:50] i love conky [00:50] LetsGo67, Oh yes. iftop. Iftop is entirely cli. It's kinda nice though [00:50] LetsGo67: edbian pretty good conky file here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/conky-a-light-weight-system-monitor-for-ubuntu-linux-systems.html [00:51] ActionParsnip: that url paste you just did is broken... 2 lines [00:51] ActionParsnip, That one is pretty on 8.04 [00:51] eternalswd_work, jk_ : Well, after a server reboot I have the same symptoms. [00:51] hiku, It worked for me. [00:51] hello, i have problem with every restart icons changing position how i fix that [00:51] edbian: hmm, let me try agian =) [00:52] edbian: doh! my weechat window wasn't open large enough... odd [00:52] wele, right click on them than lock to panel [00:52] hiku, That's a bug! [00:52] hiku: http://pastie.org/1121547 is the file on its own [00:52] bluetooth and wireless icon and langauge bar [00:52] edbian: I'm confused. Screenlet won't actually track, even after changing to wlan0. [00:52] RichardRaseley, you did make the change to /etc/sysctl as described earlier today, didn't you? If not that might have something to do with this... [00:53] LetsGo67, I'm not sure. I didn't write that software nor am I using it. [00:53] jk_: I don't recall those changes mentioned, sorry about that... [00:53] how i change position === slidinghorn is now known as zz_slidinghorn [00:53] ActionParsnip: nice bro... thank you. Mine looks very close to that... but I like the one you sent better [00:53] hiku: its ubuntugeek s/he's usually on the money [00:53] jk_: It appears that /etc/sysctl doesn't exist...?

Remove the comment, then run "sudo sysctl -p" to reload and enable forwarding between the different interfaces. [00:55] LetsGo67, Glad to hear it. Linux is great! [00:55] wele, i have always noticed that the volume and network manager are not stable they flip but try right click and move than lock to panel [00:56] RichardRaseley, sorry, that's /etc/sysctl.conf -- my bad!

[00:58] jk_: Thanks again [00:59] eternalswd_work: I appreciate your help as well! Thanks a bunch to both. [00:59] ActionParsnip, thanks will give that a try. [00:59] can i upgrade a previous ubuntu version to become the latest 10.4 just via the synaptics? [01:00] RichardRaseley, understood! I had to fiddle with the settings for almost a week before I got my router box set up to do what I wanted -- and then had to reformat and do it all over again. I do have gateways set up for each interface in the route table, btw. That might make a difference. [01:00] no CDs involve.. [01:00] bluLDG12345, Yep! That's the point of the package manager! [01:00] bluLDG12345, Provided you're on the internet. [01:00] Trying to run KLinkStatus but have forgotten the command from terminal, I tried serching for it on the hard drive but can't seem to locate it, software center tells me it is installed, I just don't know where or how to start it [01:01] so there's not that much breakage and such? [01:01] bluLDG12345, Very very little if any. [01:01] bluLDG12345, Would you like to know how? [01:01] yes [01:01] !upgrade | bluLDG12345 [01:01] bluLDG12345: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [01:02] bluLDG12345, The system is designed to be upgraded from version to version.

Close that and open System -> admin -> update manager [01:03] bluLDG12345, It should appear at the top their.

How do I get it back? [01:05] So can anyone help me out? In case you didn't see my problem earlier: "Hey, probably easy problem to fix here, but none of the images sent in emails are showing up for me in Empathy. I just recently set Empathy up, and they all show in Gmail, but images in Empathy just show up as that little red circle with a cross on a photo background." [01:05] Hi, I have a question regarding using kernels with PAE [01:06] !pae [01:06] To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [01:06] I have a .lzm file how to use it? [01:07] CHaodzip, what is this file for? [01:08] coz_:spoonwpa.lzm [01:08] ActionParsnip: hiexpo, have a good one... =) [01:08] CHaodzip, and what do you want to do with it? [01:08] coz_:for wlan crack [01:08] if I do a distribution upgrade with the update manager will I still have the option to boot the dist I have now in grub, like when you do a kernel update? [01:08] CHaodzip: I assume you would use lzma... [01:08] CHaodzip, oh not sure but I did find a few links for dealing with that file format [01:09] CHaodzip, http://mytechoos.blogspot.com/2009/10/lzm-files-in-ubuntu.html [01:09] I checked the forums re: lost power button, but I don't see the one I lost -- it had log out, user switch, restart, all together. [01:10] CHaodzip, if you want more links ...in goole..... ubuntu .lzm [01:10] my question regarding using PAE kernels is a little more advanced. I have a Thinkpad X201 and there was an intel driver bug which was patched in a 2.6.32- custom kernel provided by a kernel team member. The problem is that this kernel doesn't have PAE. As of 2.6.35-2 maverick (via mainline kernel ppa), the problem is fixed. Is it possible to have 2.6.35-2-maverick with PAE or would I need to compile the kernel myself? [01:11] Hi guys - How can add a Korean Dictionary source to the Ubuntu Dictionary program? [01:11] I want to make a LiveCD that doesn't automatically eject the CD when I shut down. Is there a simple command I can add so some file on the CD? [01:11] HPL, Does the thinkpad have that much ram? [01:11] cobelloy: no, you will have the newly updated distro only. [01:11] Are there drivers for a Motorolla W175G? In windows it asks for W180 Mobile and LOCOSTO drivers. [01:11] yes, I just added another 2GB. 4GB total so i'd like to use PAE instead of 64bit [01:11] evening [01:12] does anyone here have any experience of auto mounting smb shares using fstab where the smb share is on a windows domain, thus needing windows domain auth? [01:12] coz_:I TRY ,AND GET A FILE NAMED LZM2DIR I DON'T HOW TO USE IT [01:12] Mathuin, The "tool tip" on my button calls it "Quit" so you might search for that. I'm using xubuntu but with the Gnome icon theme, and it's included in the list of plug-ins for the panel. [01:13] I have just upgraded to Lucid Lynx and my wxt terminal in gnuplot has disappeared after the upgrade. Can someone tell me how to get the old white window terminal going again. [01:13] CHaodzip, you go me on this one not sure either [01:13] CHaodzip: stop with the caps, why don't you just use lzma like I suggested? [01:14] bastid_raZor, is there a way to keep both in case the new doesnt work right? [01:14] I want to make a LiveCD that doesn't automatically eject the CD when I shut down. Is there a simple command I can add so some file on the CD? [01:14] or should I just keep 9.10 if its working well? [01:14] HPL: there is a kernel ppa https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/%2Barchive/ppa and there is also another that i use for kernel and better performance https://launchpad.net/~guido-iodice/+archive/best-intel . PD. use PPA's under your own risk, you can easily remove them with ppa-purge (if you don't have it or you don't know what it is google it ;) ) [01:14] will: could use liveusb too :) [01:14] cobelloy: not by doing a dist-upgrade no. you would need to do a fresh install on a new partition. [01:15] Thanks, but I really need to do it on a CD [01:15] How does one access their home router for means of flashing? I understand the process but do not know how folks work from terminal with it. [01:15] Is there any way to add a Korean source to the Ubuntu Dictionary? [01:15] Bo|Su: not really an ubuntu question [01:16] I'd like to discuss nonstandard metadata. Is anyone up for this? I have a few specific questions, such as: Is there any accepted method for storing/using arbitrary (user-defined) metadata for files and folders? Of course, I'm always willing to be told where else I might go. [01:16] it the only place to ask it. its in regards to open source software... [01:16] Bo|Su: possibly ask in ##networking [01:16] will: you can use the remaster cd docs but I am not sure where the option resides [01:16] k [01:16] hi all [01:16] xiong, off hand I dont know but if no one else knows you could try the ##linux channel [01:17] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD ... trying to do this after a grub error 15 [01:17] xiong: http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/category/gvfs/ === el_nazista is now known as NGS [01:17] coz_, Gonna talk there, too.

Will this allow for PAE? I understand PAE has changed in 10.04 (linux-headers-pae, etc are required now?) === slidinghorn is now known as zz_slidinghorn [01:18] xiong: and of course, I'd go read official gvfs docs at this point as that blog post is dated, but I remembered reading it :) [01:18] I spent literally months working on a Perl project, discussing it with Perlers. I came to #ubuntu and learned in a minute that what I'd imagined was called an "orthogonal file manager". That's extra cool.

How can I get rid of this entry [01:22] synaptic show post_install script failure [01:24] Interesting, jrib. Not sure exactly where this fits into my needs but yes, interesting. [01:24] xiong: you mean in the sense that gvfs isn't really standard outside of a gnome-ish environment? [01:25] iwlist wlan0 scan did not work either.. :( [01:25] Oh, I use GNOME; I'm not looking for anything that goes beyond it (although that sort of thing is always nice).

I'd like to be able to tag files and folders with one or several short words and use the tags, say, to find files later, instead of searching by some filename shell glob. [01:29] someone have any idea to my problem? [01:29] why doesn't cat display .odf files properly? === randomusr is now known as Guest56978 [01:29] xiong: well I think tracker implements its own thing as far as tagging files goes. I don't think there's a single standard way [01:29] Correction - why doesn't cat display .odt files properly? [01:30] because they're not ascci text [01:30] ascii [01:30] they're binary [01:30] jrib, I won't worry about 'standard'. I'll look at Tracker more closely. [01:30] xiong: are you looking to create your own program? Or find a solution as a user? [01:30] Guest56978, It does. There is a lot of markup in a .odt file. The markup makes the text this font of that point left aligned blah blah. [01:30] anyone? =) [01:30] Guest56978, cat shows the raw file. open office shows the text hiding the markup. [01:31] Hello! What program is recommended for ripping audio tracks from an ISO-image of a CD? [01:31] edbian, is it possible to display only the text portion of an odt file at the command line? [01:31] Preferably, jrib, solution as user. I have enough on my plate. I'm not afraid to stick in my fork, though; but yes, call me lazy. I'd rather grab a burger than grow my own cow. [01:31] or would the file need to be ascii? [01:32] Guest56978, You view only the text using open office. [01:32] xiong: I think tracker is the way to go. That's the only system I know of anyway [01:32] * xiong reads [01:32] jolson: mount the iso file to a folder (mount point) and then use grip or whatever as though it was a CD [01:32] How do I use the Ubuntu forum search to look for ALL my search terms?

[01:58] Flannel, i did...the user in question was bruteforcing [01:58] installed pidgin, installed 2 themes, applied one theme, removed cairo-dock (friend did this), added docky [01:58] that's it really [01:58] i|Nova, do you remember the name of the theme you applied? [01:59] monotoko, edit /etc/pam.d/su and uncomment the pam_wheel.so line. users needs to be in group wheel to use su [01:59] How do you kill the X server without restarting it on Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS? [01:59] my problems usually lie between the keyboard and the chair : D [01:59] ThePCKid - there's a shortcut for it, it's usually ctrl + alt + backspace i think [01:59] http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2 Cillop-midnite and clearlooks-darkorange [01:59] lemme check [01:59] LOL queuetip :D [02:00] queuetip, that restarts it [02:00] @queuetip: Disabled on Ubuntu by default [02:00] mono, does cairo have anything to do with gnome? [02:00] @queuetip: Enabling it just restarts the X server [02:00] try service gdm stop [02:00] Okay [02:00] ThePCKid, you might try 'telinit 2' [02:00] i|Nova, i shoudlnt think so...try disabling the theme first [02:00] ThePCKid - try sudo killall dgm [02:00] gdm* [02:01] how do i disable it without getting into gnome [02:01] queuetip: /etc/init.d/gdm stop [02:01] erm, sorry, ThePCKid [02:01] All of them didn't work [02:02] And I did su root [02:02] I mean sudo [02:02] from the command line: login then type "cd ./.themes" then "rm -R " [02:02] THePCKid: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=48780 [02:02] replace: with whatever the theme is called [02:02] running init scripts gives an error now to use the service comand [02:02] another question [02:02] how do i connect to a wifi network using the terminal [02:02] if you cant remember, use "ls -a" to see the themes that are in there === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [02:02] i|Nova, simple answer...you dont, complex answer...you spend hours [02:03] haha ok [02:03] Trying that... [02:03] Guys, are there some UCP here? [02:03] i'll try removing the themes [02:03] dont remove em all [02:03] just the one you applied [02:03] "ls -a" will show you which ones are there [02:04] login -> "cd ./.themes" -> "ls -a" -> "rm -R " [02:04] ls -a sows all software [02:04] ^shows [02:04] mv: cannot stat `/etc/rc2.d/S13gdm': No such file or directory [02:05] hiexpo, all files and folders [02:05] alright [02:05] brb [02:05] yup [02:07] why don't hejust right click on desktop and change sesktop theme and remove it that way [02:07] hiexpo, because he cant get to the desktop [02:07] oh [02:07] i think the themes is crashing gnome [02:07] whattheme is it [02:08] no idea...but hopefully he doesnt misfire the rm command >.> [02:08] ya rm oops [02:09] how did he install the theme [02:09] especially with that -R option...i hate telling people to use it [02:09] dangerous [02:09] indeed...but he aint root...so it should be okay [02:10] but he will have to be root to rm -r [02:10] at worse he could only lose all hist personal data ;P [02:10] hiexpo, nahh..not if its his data [02:10] which the themes are [02:10] jellow, aye -.-" [02:10] oh ok [02:11] jellow...at least itl solve the theme problem? :D [02:11] how did he install the theme and what distro 9 or 10 [02:11] hiexpo, not sure [02:11] monotoko: yes hopefuly [02:12] usually if a theme is notcompatable it won'tlet you install it [02:12] nada. [02:12] :( [02:12] i|Nova, what happened? [02:12] nothing changed [02:13] i removed the themes [02:13] did you reboot it afterwards? [02:13] yeah [02:13] hmmm [02:13] tried startx, but for some reason startx doesnt work now [02:13] I need help removing Ubuntu, windows does not reconize the ext4 partion [02:14] together ?? radeon 4550 ' on crossfire board [02:14] i|Nova, time for a graphics reinstall then [02:14] can you plug the computer into an ethernet socket? [02:14] no :( [02:15] hence why i asked about wifi [02:15] I need help removing Ubuntu, windows does not reconize the ext4 partion [02:15] rohi no need to repeat.. [02:15] rohithwiz, google it...if you just delete the partition you wwont be able to boot anything [02:15] @rohithwiz: Uninstall Ubuntu from the add/remove window if you used Wubi [02:15] i|Nova, have you got any removable media? [02:16] using an USB stick right now [02:16] with live cd [02:16] monotoko: Then what i do because when boot from the CD it says no drives avaliable [02:16] right...one sec while i refresh my memory i|Nova [02:16] question: my bios shows 4 gigs.. memtest shows 4 gigs but free -m -g shos 3 gigs??????????????????????? [02:16] monotoko: try running gparted from the ubuntu live cd [02:17] i|Nova, i think you meant rohithwiz ? :P [02:17] I can't get UNetbootin running for some reason. i've tried downloading the ISOs with the program itself, nothing. tried to boot a 10.04 ISO, nothing yet again. also no matter what i do, i make a 40_custom entry for it, and then i update it, then it freaking says menuentry: command not found. I really need some help with this crap. [02:17] oh [02:17] yeah [02:17] sorry [02:18] CkhiKuzad: I hve unetbootin [02:18] me too. [02:18] i|Nova, what version of ubuntu ye running? [02:18] alright, cah you two help me? [02:18] lucid lynx 10.4 [02:18] 10.04* [02:18] ...or 10.04.1? [02:18] CkhiKuzad: sudo apt0get install unetbootin [02:18] -.- [02:18] 10.04.20.04034.93492034924.93 [02:19] apt-get [02:19] heh [02:19] i have the program, the problems of using it wouldnt arise unless i had it installed. [02:19] so whats the problem? [02:19] ckhi, you trying to do this to usb or cd/dvd? [02:19] my hard drive. [02:19] oh [02:20] i|Nova: Where do i find the gparted [02:20] I've only used unetbootin to make a bootable usb stick, i'm using one right now as my gnome is screwed [02:20] i|Nova, you have two choices....you can attempt to install ubuntu-desktop again, or you can backup your user and reinstall Ubuntu [02:20] because canonical's happy birthday gift to me in october? 9.04 is going to be unsupported, so if i cant install freaking 10.04 i am screwed. [02:20] monotoko, could i install packages onto my ubuntu installation from this live cd? [02:21] CkhiKuzad: why do you need unetbootin? [02:21] i|Nova, you could have a go...but its beyond my knowledge im afraid [02:21] you would need to chroot into your local environment [02:22] i dont have a burner, no USB boot, nothing that can boot because the first damn computer from the 80's has a more up to date BIOS than mine [02:22] i|Nova, iv just had an idea [02:22] why does ubuntu only see 3gigs of ram when I have 4? the bios shows 4 and th memtest shows 4 [02:22] Listening :P [02:23] CkhiKuzad: that sucks [02:23] * CkhiKuzad hopes to god this channel is on a netsplit, and when he reconnects someone can help him. [02:23] TiK: What does the -g switch in free do? Its neither listed in man nor in --help [02:24] LibertyZero: uhm it shows the moutput in gigs [02:24] output* [02:24] TiK, some sort of 3gig lock due to some sort of construction of pc in i686 mode [02:24] i|Nova, i have a script you could use to get into your current installation from your liveCD [02:24] :D [02:24] rooks: 3gig lock? [02:24] rooks: wtf? [02:24] i|Nova, can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"? [02:25] yes, its derivative of some sort of construcion of virtual mem in i686 [02:25] rook: so I am stuck with 3gigs? [02:25] (it will tell me where Ubuntu is located) [02:25] TiK: free -m shows 3963 MB Ram on my PC , -g shows 3 [02:25] are you wondering where my linux partition is? [02:25] TiK, if in 686 then i think yes, tho better ask around to be sure [02:25] i|Nova, indeed, i need to know its name to the system [02:25] it's /dev/sda1 as far as i know [02:25] :P [02:25] rooks: its a dual core with 4 gg 64 bit [02:25] ahhhh awesome [02:25] gigs [02:25] had to get that info to reinstall grub, i'm dual booting ubuntu and w7 [02:26] TiK, if your hardware supports PAE, the with a PAE enabled kernel you can access 4G [02:26] TiK, hmm.. then somethings wrong.. do ou run it in 64bit? [02:26] rooks: yes and I have recompiled my kernel to the latest one.. just booted up in generic and noticed this [02:26] i|Nova, i warn ye now...this script aint pretty and will probably hurt your eyes to look at [02:26] because it was the same for the one I compiledI hought i did something wrong [02:26] TiK, what zzzed said [02:27] heh [02:27] zzzed: how do I enable PAE? [02:27] http://pastebin.com/iN6pHhxv [02:27] @ i|Nova [02:27] TiK: have you installed it¿ [02:27] yes [02:27] Tik, i think it must be in kernel config [02:27] hmm [02:28] TiK: PAE is only for 32bit kernels [02:28] grab that script...stick it in a document using gedit and save it as "script.sh" in your home directory [02:28] alright [02:28] so if I use 64bit im stuck at 3gigs? [02:28] tell me when you've done that i|Nova [02:28] TiK: what does free -m show? [02:28] done [02:28] :) [02:28] nice...now open a terminal, it gets fun from here [02:29] first command: "chmod +x ./script.sh" [02:29] yeah, i have one open [02:29] LibertyZero: shows your fre mmory in megabytes [02:29] done [02:29] do you know what the script does? === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [02:29] -b,-k,-m,-g show output in bytes, KB, MB, or GB [02:29] CkhiKuzad, me? I made the script...source i know what it does [02:29] TiK: I mean, how much Ram shows that on your PC? [02:29] you might want to figure it out before running it i|Nova [02:30] I read through it, ckhi. [02:30] alright. [02:30] oh 3 gigs [02:30] ^^ [02:30] 3837 [02:30] just making sure you dont accidentally get an SH that's programmed to screw up your system. [02:30] heh [02:31] i'm a programmer, i always check the code before i run it :P [02:31] CkhiKuzad, nahh...this ones a simple hack to allow a chroot from a live environment :P [02:31] anyways, chmodded it to allow execution [02:31] i|Nova, pray to the chipmonk lords that it works then type: "./script.sh" [02:31] heh [02:31] TiK: 3837 MB are almost 4 Gig :-) [02:32] a lot of permission denieds and only root can do that-s [02:32] hold on [02:32] * monotoko forgot sudo [02:32] sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu [02:32] after localuser:root being added to access contro list [02:32] lol [02:32] control* [02:32] damnit [02:32] one sec [02:32] LibertyZero: it shold be 3096 or something [02:32] er [02:33] 4096 [02:33] i|Nova, "sudo mkdir /mnt/maverick" [02:34] sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu [02:34] ahha...tyoe "exit" [02:34] *type [02:35] and then re-do it?

Maybe it's a bug in free... [02:36] i|Nova, interesting...my script is missing something [02:36] Nobody familiar with using sftp from the terminal? [02:36] its not a bug, free has never done decimals [02:37] hello [02:37] mtx_init: ok, thanks :-) [02:37] hello [02:37] guys...anyone here good with bash? Tell me what iv missed: http://pastebin.com/iN6pHhxv === monotoko is now known as Monotoko [02:38] mono try #bash [02:38] LibertyZero: the reason is for sig figs, just like from chemistry class. if you want the nitty gritty details do it by byte. [02:38] hellosugaree: as a client of sftp? I think it works about the same as ftp. [02:38] i have a strange problem with nm-applet when i connect as non-root user the mobile broadband connections that i define doesn't not appear on the connection applet some help please? [02:39] Monotoko: yes I've been looking at it I see no errors, maybe the {} parts confused me a bit [02:39] hi, I'm trying to mount my ISO img of my MAC DVD in ubuntu, but it won't work [02:40] BKTech86: mount -0 loop image.iso /media/loopdevice [02:40] BKTech86: mount -o loop image.iso /media/loopdevice [02:41] BKTech86: try double click it in nautilus (the file manager) and select archive manager if you have a choice [02:42] i|Nova, seems no-one is there [02:42] BKTech86: oh ya that won't mount it I see [02:42] damn [02:42] Okay, guys, I've been talking on ##linux and guys have pointed me to "extended attributes" and user_xattr. All my partitions are ext3. Is it safe to set user_xattr on my partitions in fstab and reboot? Dangerous? Foolish? Somewhere in between? [02:42] i|Nova: it looks like you must be close [02:43] Um, and what about the "kernel option" CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR? [02:43] I guess? :/ [02:43] right...sudo seems to be complaining about it somewhere....first place to check would be the sudoers file [02:45] hmm? [02:45] i|Nova, try this: "sudo gedit /mnt/maverick/etc/sudoers" [02:46] Or should I just backup and reformat as ext4? [02:46] yeah..? [02:46] @monotoko [02:46] how can i fix the problem of the nm-applet that doesn't show the mobile broadband connections? [02:46] i|Nova, has it come up with something? [02:46] yeah, i see the file [02:47] hi there. With default graphic drivers (nouveau?) I have high-resolution console (1680x1050), but with nvidia-current it stays at 640x480. Is there any solution/workaround for this problem? [02:48] thanks i see [02:49] xiong: I know of no danger in changing user in fstab, I'm not sure about your ext3 thing, I think it will have to match the format of the partition or it may complain [02:50] !hostname | i|Nova [02:50] i|Nova: 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. [02:50] huh... [02:51] sacarlson, Thanks for responding but I don't really understand. I want to enable extended attributes; particularly, I want to be able to edit and use user attributes. [02:51] Shadowww: you can't get better than that in System>preferences>montors ? you should also try System>adminitration>Hardware drivers. [02:51] Shadowww: No. The binary nvidia driver simply does not support kernel mode setting. [02:52] LibertyZero, there's no possibility to use vga= parameter either? [02:52] xiong: change after boot? I think fstab will only change something at the point of time of mount. [02:53] sacarlson, I'm sure you're right. [02:53] xiong: so you can unmount and remount to activate your new fstab settings. [02:54] xiong: but you wouldn't want to do that to your root partition that you are currently running. for that you would have to chroot or reboot [02:55] Thanks, sacarlson. Ah, I gotta go eat. [02:56] Shadowww: As far as I know it's not possible... === cece_ is now known as sitaback [02:56] hello [02:59] Is there a way to split up your workspaces across monitors. IE: I have two monitors and I would like to have at least 2 workspaces per monitor. [03:00] Any recommendations for an alternate music/media player then the ipod app? Something in Cydia? [03:00] dTunes [03:01] LibertyZero: : does that vga= and or xforcevesa in grub2 boot options only work in the pre xserver state? I'm looking for an option to force vesa all the way into X11 stat from boot. [03:01] !crunchbang [03:01] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [03:01] Does anyone know whether or not there is a fix for the Atheros AR9285 yet? I couldn't only find bug reports and complaints on the forums, no solutions.. I can't even update 10.04 because it downloads at 1000 bytes/sec and then completely drops out. [03:02] LucidGuy: rhythmbox, banshee [03:02] hey! anyone has used ntop ? [03:03] xangua, ever find alternate app for the ipod app on the device? Maybe something in Cydia? [03:03] Can anyone tell me how to write a floppy disk image in ubuntu? [03:03] hi all, using ubuntu netbook remix here and wonder if I can snag the music off my jailbroken ipod touch with it? [03:03] LucidGuy: no idea, try offtopic [03:03] I'm getting 25% packet loss on multiple different wireless networks. Any approaches to figure out what's going on with my machine? [03:03] Lucidguy: dTunes [03:03] a floppy disk image? [03:04] what year is this? [03:04] brandom: is that the eeepc chip set? [03:04] i|Nova, thank you .. [03:04] logankoester: A floppy disk image can be used to make a USB drive bootable. [03:04] maurer_: What wireless card are you using. [03:04] LucidGuy: I use it all the time :D [03:04] Intel 5300 [03:05] i|Nova, installing .. === carlos is now known as Guest6127 [03:05] brandom: Full disclosure--using Maverick, but #ubuntu+1 seems dead [03:05] sacarlson: It's an AR9285 on a Sony VAIO. [03:05] maurer: Packet loss can be caused by signal interference, caused by wireless devices using the same frequency as the wireless router/devices (for example, a wireless phone). It could also just be the distance of the devices to the router. [03:05] Ive an image for a windows boot disk and im trying to figure out how to write it to floppy. right now im on 10.04 live cd [03:06] hallo everybody [03:06] !hello | ayam_bakar [03:06] ayam_bakar: 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! [03:06] Sc00t3r: This is what I thought as well when I encountered this. I am now on a different router, different hardware, etc. [03:06] Still failing. [03:06] i ask some question [03:06] maurer_: Oh, okay.. thought you might have the same problem as me! My AR9285 drops packets like crazy. [03:06] I'll try turning off my phone, if that's the issue, I'll be really annoyed. [03:06] about ubuntu 10.04 [03:06] brandom: oh ok because my eeepc has some kind of an athoes device and it works very well very sensitive but I installed the easypeasy dirivitive that had the drivers inside. === patrick is now known as Guest87414 [03:07] maurer_: Phones, if they are using the same frequency as the router, can cause a lot of interference. I mean a wireless phone, not a cell phone. [03:07] my ubuntu 10.04 can't detect media after install ubuntu 10.04 [03:07] Sc00t3r: It's a cell phone, but it uses WiMAX which might be too near? [03:07] Does anyone know how to have separate workspaces in a multimonitor setup? [03:07] sacarlson: You don't know what version your atheros card is? I suppose I could try this.. [03:08] Nope, phone off, still same issue. [03:08] brandom no sorry I don't it's not here now. maybe I could look it up it's the old on 901 I think [03:08] maurer_: I couldn't really tell you then. It seems extremely odd that you'd get up to 20% packet loss. [03:08] guys [03:08] before install ubuntu 10.04 CD LIVE, my media detected [03:08] just bought a new ipad and i have ubuntu [03:08] how do i set it up [03:08] Sc00t3r: Testing via pinging a remote server results in between 20-30% every time. [03:08] csmith1994: You can't. [03:09] does anyone know how to write an image to floppy? [03:09] Sc00t3r are you kidding? [03:09] I suppose I'll just wait for #ubuntu+1 to perk back up again. It's probably something from the new kernel. [03:09] ssmith1994: Check on Google. If you really think Ubuntu supports a tablet along with the hardware on an iPad, you're nuts. [03:09] csmith1994: Unless you want to break some crypto, no, you can't do it. [03:10] irc.stmikbg.com [03:10] maurer_: there are iwconfig tunables sometimes, retry and frag. sometimes a lower mtu with ifconfig is the ticket [03:10] please help my ubuntu [03:10] Sc00t3r it supports the ipad i just have to set it up on a different system [03:10] Sc00t3r: You misunderstood him--the damn thing won't turn on until you plug it into iTunes [03:10] yeah thats what i mean [03:10] brandom: seems like we got someone to work with athose here before, give me your lspci and I'll take a quick look [03:10] csmith: One, an iPad doesn't have CD/DVD/USB functionality. 2, you can't take the hard drive out of it without tearing the whole thing apart, and even then, I'm not sure how you would install it to that hard drive. [03:10] sc00t3r im not trying to put itunes on it [03:10] csmith1994: OH. I am so sorry. I thought you meant install ubuntu to iPad. [03:11] linux* [03:11] nah [03:11] i just bought an ipad [03:11] csmith1994: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:11] csmith1994: You have to sync all 'i' devices with Windows to have them prepared, then use them (usually) with Rhythmbox. That's the only option I know of. [03:11] it doesnt turn on until you plug it in to itunes, i needd to know how to do that on a ubuntu computer [03:12] are you serious i dont have a windows computer at my disposal [03:12] csmith1994: Sorry man. Try virtualbox? [03:12] Sometimes it works. [03:12] so i'm stuck with this. i used to like linux but lately it's been workaround this workaround that. [03:12] Sc00t3r: That's old. You cannot use iPhones/iPod touches with linux, they changed their database so it's a signed format. [03:12] csmith1994: I am very serious. I don't think you can do it straight from Linux unless you install iTunes on Linux. [03:12] and i cant get virtualbox to run on my computer [03:12] virtualbox does not run itunes you need vmware [03:12] maurer_, I can still use my iPod Touch v3 with Linux. [03:13] TiK, All Virtual machines can run windows. [03:13] yes windows [03:13] csmith1994: I wiped out my friends Ipod with ubuntu 9.04 (not sure the version) I had to reset his ipod to factory specs loosing all his music and play lists [03:13] i don't like windows [03:13] I managed to just connect my iPod Touch to my ubuntu machine and am now easily copying files from the iPod onto my computer :0 [03:13] Sc00t3r: Really? Back when I still had my iPhone 3GS, the crypto dataformat prevented me from loading songs that could be played by iTunes. [03:13] but there is a problem with virtualbox and itunes [03:13] hello guys. a friend of mine cannot log into ubuntu ( 10.04 ) he says he enters username/passord, then the screen gets black and the login screen is there again. and i havent found a solution for that on google as of now [03:13] you need vmware player [03:13] Sc00t3r: I had to root it and load a separate app on it.

If they are, try mounting them in order to access them. [03:16] sacarlson: No, I figured the make of the card would be enough to check on solutions since I found so many bug reports on the forums for the AR9285..

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:29] guest: damn, sorry for spamming you )) [03:30] guest: are you saying you installed windows after ubuntu? [03:30] progre55: You can play with the bots in #ubuntu-bots to get used to them. [03:30] No windows was installed before hand. [03:30] Im creating a new ubuntu partition [03:31] Jordan_U: well, no time for them for now =) it's actually 4.30am in here and I'm still up.. [03:31] how do I change the defualt boot kernel in grub2? anyone got a website or something? [03:31] guest: well so then ubuntu, after you install it next to your windows, will have it's boot manager to handle everything.. [03:31] guest: Can you see your windows files in Places > Computer ? [03:31] guest: and you are supposed to see both, ubuntu and windows [03:31] exit [03:32] Anyone know how i can add someting to "session startup"? I cant find it in the system menu.. I'm on an acer aspire 0751h and i have some issues with the video card and battery liftetime [03:32] oh now I got his question. [03:32] when I run the live CD, there is no option to create an ubuntu partition out of the windows free space. [03:32] guest: first off, defragment your windows partition, from under windows [03:32] guest: and also, how much free space do you have? [03:33] cast: and? [03:33] out of a 300 gb theres 260GB of free space [03:33] Neeon: I think i see it in System>preferences>startup applications [03:34] Jordan_U: he hasnt installed ubuntu yet, but about to install, and he doesnt have an option to make a new partition for his ubuntu, right guest? ) [03:34] so I need to defragment the drive in windows? [03:34] anyone running squid on ubuntu 10.04? [03:34] Hello, I have a netbook, I'm having problems with the wifi, it is working extremely slow, its the: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g, I read on the internet that a lot of people seem to have issues with this Broadcom, can you help me please? Thank you. [03:34] guest: no matter what, it is highly recommended to defragment your hard drive before you install dual boot [03:34] TiK: GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub, you can either use a number or use the full menu entry title (so it doesn't change when a new kernel is installed). For instance: GRUB_DEFAULT='Ubuntu GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-24-generic (recovery mode)' [03:35] ok Ill try defragmenting the drive and come back if that doesnt work. [03:35] progre55: That's actually not needed any more (if it ever was). [03:35] Jordan_U: I just compiled .35 and its not the default.. [03:35] so, anybody knows if "setfacl" works on ubuntu? [03:35] sacarlson: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/VvySbJ8B [03:35] brandom: ok [03:35] Jordan_U: you mean, defragmenting? why not?? [03:36] Jordan_U: thanks.. where do I get the list to choose a number from? [03:36] progre55: i don't know...but what i do know is that squid doesn't work in ubuntu 10.04 :P [03:36] ubuntu is almost pissing me off [03:36] dschuett: no idea what squid is ) [03:36] it is a caching proxy [03:36] i'm look ubuntu is easy [03:37] oh [03:37] Jordan_U: ? [03:37] ayam_bakar: is english your native language¿ [03:37] I think I should better join #ubuntu-server [03:38] brandom: did you look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1359492 [03:38] progre55: ntfsresize works fine on fragmented filesystems, the myth that you need to defrag first is so common that they put "Defragmentation is NOT required prior to resizing because the program can relocate any data if needed, without risking data integrity." in bold in the ntfsresize man page. [03:39] TiK: sudo grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep -o '".*"' [03:39] xangua : nope [03:39] Jordan_U: well, never saw what =) but all the manuals I've ever read tell me to defragment =) and actually it never hurts.. it even helps up your windows =) [03:40] Jordan_U, but i experienced it to be quicker if i dfragged 1st [03:40] if it's not, then why don't you try a channel for your language ; at least I don't understand what do you want [03:40] Jordan_U: heh that only shows memtest [03:40] MWesten: This week, I installed UB-Desktop on a netbook with a BCM4312 WiFI NIC. After initial install, I selected the STA driver, loaded, rebooted and added my WPA, and it wored out fo the Box, however, the BC43XX does not. You amy want to try the STA driver. [03:40] how search the center of software in lubuntu 10.04??? [03:40] xangua : i'm sorry [03:40] WinstonSmith: It likely would be, as long as you don't count the time to defrag. [03:40] hi [03:41] Jordan_U, u got me there :) [03:41] ^^ [03:41] helppp [03:41] plis [03:41] The new partition is going to be allocated free space - unallocated blocks - and then start allocating them to the new file system. No amount of defragmenting will change the way the blocks are allocated [03:41] hi everybody. my server 8.04 wont reboot anymore. i give it a reboot or shutdown -r now and just nothing happens... i get the message that it will reboot but nothing [03:41] what u need julian?

[03:42] sacarlson: Well, that's for 9.10, but I'll give it a try. I think I read somewhere that after installing the backports in 10.04 that they only work until shutdown for some odd reason and then need to be reinstalled..

[03:46] MWesten: if it's connecting and you getting an IP address the driver is working, else you would not get that far.

Since you'll need compositing for cairo-dock to look good and that's the only one that composits [03:51] julian_, open a terminal. Type "gksudo synaptic" [03:51] edbian, thanx ill look it up [03:51] julian_, Who cares where it is in the gui? Create your own launcher. [03:51] Cl1FF: does deleting the panels work? [03:51] thune3, He was thinking about doing that. [03:52] thune3, he left [03:52] sacarlson: Yeah, that's what I was reading. I'll give it a shot. Do you like easypeasy?

[03:53] Yes [03:53] to I can create my own launcher? at the time did not know he only commands sudo apt get instal [03:53] julian_, yeah. gksudo synaptic [03:54] julian_, gksudo synaptic and sudo apt-get are both package managers. [03:54] julian_, gksudo and sudo just make you root or course. [03:54] sacarlson: Ah. Do you know if there is any way to track down those packages to download before I boot into ubuntu?

[04:00] it says no such file or directory [04:00] sacarlson, Are you selling $1 ethernet cables? HOw long are they?!? [04:00] eightball, I forget what it was called.

I didn't do my research before I moved into this apartment and my building is the only one with a contract with AT&T rather than Verizon. [04:01] eightball: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [04:02] edbian: connector 10 baht need 2 so that's 20 baht, cable is 10 baht per meter 30baht total that's less that $1 [04:02] edbain: i figured as much [04:02] Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

Is apt (or something) running? [04:02] eightball: close the package manager or any other installs you have going on. [04:03] edbain: is there an xfce equivilent to the gnome panel command? [04:03] xfce4-panel nyu [04:03] edbian: oh and that stuf is more expensive here than in USA. [04:03] sacarlson, I'm impressed [04:03] nyu, I'm looking it up. [04:03] sacarlson: This is about 15 baht :) [04:03] woohoo [04:03] dougb_freebsd: if you open he package manger, (when that's finished of course), you can select that package, and it will chow you the tools it installed. [04:03] sacarlson: So I just go to the coffee shop to use the internet and *sometimes* borrow from my neighbor. I feel guilty about that though, so I just drink a lot of coffee.. [04:03] edbain: xangua got it [04:03] show* [04:03] thanks [04:04] nyu, xfce4-panel [04:04] xangua, What is it? [04:04] xangua, Oh I see. Thanks [04:04] all ready have it installed now what? [04:04] eightball, restart and try to play the dvd [04:05] dougb_freebsd: allot of apps also call for kernel hears, which are installed most of the time, but you can ensure by doing: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [04:05] wonder why that happened... [04:05] oh well [04:05] thanks guys [04:05] restart the computer? [04:05] eightball, "Rebooting may be necessary" [04:05] ok [04:05] eightball, that is from the page I sent you [04:06] ok restatr will be back to let you know [04:06] re start [04:06] what does partial upgrade do [04:06] eightball, wait [04:06] how do capture webservices message transport from my ubuntu to another server [04:06] oh well, lol [04:07] id dont have source of the webservice client [04:08] will tcpdump do [04:08] sinurge: more often than not, it means apt was stopped mis-stream or did not reset properly, and you need to kill it to restart another iupgrade or install session. [04:08] or can i get someone to configure a proxy server [04:08] sacarlson: Thanks for your help! I am going to boot into ubuntu and install..

I just added it to my repos [04:12] Callum_Laptop, VLC has libdvdcss built in [04:12] dougb_freebsd: try libpurple-dev [04:12] Callum_Laptop: I suppose that would work for unmounting. I was hoping to do it without root privs, just like nautilus does. How do I mount it though, with the automatic label detection and mount in /media? [04:12] KE1HA: oooohhh, clever! [04:12] WinstonSmith: isn't it dynamically linked...? [04:13] that pulled in glib for sure, let me check if that's enough to do what I need [04:13] #linuxoutlaws [04:13] Callum_Laptop, not with VLC thats why i love it so. DVD and nearly all codecs right out of the box [04:13] WinstonSmith: well, why isn't everything else statically linked, like libdvdnav... [04:14] dougb_freebsd: then the otherone I think is libgtk2.0-dev [04:14] undecim: you can't do that, the X server actually runs under root, thats how its able to do some root-only things without permission [04:14] what do i need to do ? [04:14] cual el el server de ubuntu en español? [04:14] Callum_Laptop, libdvdnav? [04:15] !es | yo [04:15] yo: 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. [04:15] KE1HA: ok, the purple-dev got me a lot further, but the gtk stuff was missing, so you read my mind :) [04:15] WinstonSmith: yeah [04:15] i have a question, Is there a way to set your ping for a minimum time? [04:15] Anyone get a soundbaster card to workin ubuntu? [04:15] hello. I am using the latest version of ubuntu and trying to create a seperate wine prefix without using playonlinux [04:16] how to use wine ? [04:16] Callum_Laptop: Really? I thought that it dropped a lot of root privs with KMS. And I didn't think it was a function of root, but rather devicekit or in older versions hal. There used to be a command (devkit-disks --unmount, I think) in older versions for this, but that doesn't seem to be available in 10.04 [04:16] how to get dvd to play? [04:16] if i type wineprefixcreate, it tells me that i need to install 1.2, I currently have 1.3.1 build from them [04:16] Callum_Laptop: s/function of root/function of X/ [04:16] if i do an apt get of 1.2 it will revert me, however, the command then still fails [04:17] perlsyntax: it didn't work out of the box? maybe try the backport alsa package I see in synaptic [04:17] rpcesar: you don't need wineprefix create anymore, you just export WINEPREFIX="whatever" and any following wine command will create the internals if they don't exist. [04:17] what you mean? [04:17] blackport? [04:17] KE1HA: thanks, that got me a lot farther along, but now i'm running into pkg-config errors (although I don't rule out that this is a problem of the sources I'm trying to compile) [04:17] hmmm, but I kinda tried that and it and it bailed stating that it didnt have the windows directory [04:18] undecim: yeah, but the actual mounting/unmounting is a function that can only be performed by root, and the X server actually running as root (with the GUI account not being root) being why it can mount/umount things without permission [04:18] hello, can anyone answer any questions on ati cards? [04:18] sacarlson,What you mean backports? [04:18] perlsyntax: run synaptic and do a search for backport you will see some with alsa the sound one [04:18] Mac OS X is actually stable as Linux ? [04:18] i see [04:18] dougb_freebsd: have you installed pkg-config ? [04:19] Black_Phantom: A system is only as stable as its hardware and software =P [04:19] perlsyntax: backports are upgrades that have been added to older kernels. [04:19] does anyone have an ati hd 5000 card and run Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10? [04:19] i created the directory for the wine prefix i wanted in my home directory, and then went and set it as my wine prefix doing "env WINEPREFIX=~/myprefix winedbg pathtomyinstaller" [04:19] KE1HA: yes, that seems to have come in with the build-essential package, but it can't find the pidgin.pc file [04:19] it bailed in that stating i did not have a windows directory, so it was not a valid wine prefix [04:19] Black_Phantom: how can we tell whether Mac OS X is as stable as Linux when a good portion of it is closed source... [04:19] how to get dvd to play? [04:19] hello all [04:20] eightball: insert a dvd into your cd tray [04:20] sacarlson,So that will help me but i need thesame kernel number? [04:20] ok [04:20] Callum_Laptop: Are you sure? Because I've done this before in the past, it just doesn't work with this version of Ubuntu. From what I understand, X should no longer have to run as root (even though it still does) because the graphics card was the last hurdle, and KMS keeps X from dealing with that. So it this going to be a problem too before someone writes something to replace devicekit, which replaced hal? [04:20] sacarlson,Plan to use ubuntu 10.04.1 [04:20] dougb_freebsd: apt-get install pidgin-dev [04:20] ah [04:20] perlsyntax: if you go for the meta package it will auto select the needed kernel version you need [04:20] can anyone answer me if you have a hd 5000 card? [04:21] Callum_Laptop: Do you maybe have a link with information on this? I couldn't find anything in the Ubuntu release notes about dropping devicekit or the mounting of external media [04:21] that sould help then? [04:21] KE1HA: w00t! [04:21] another thing. i want to have a wine prefix without calling an installer (I want to copy the files straight from windows for a CS4 integration) [04:21] hmmm, I need to research that more, undecim... [04:21] !anyone | undecim [04:21] undecim: 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? [04:21] hav op dvd with [04:21] what program ? [04:21] i try al not working [04:21] KE1HA: thanks, you rock :) I am going to go install this now, bbias [04:21] eightball, u having problems playing dvds? [04:21] dougb_freebsd: Gud Luck :-) [04:22] use vlc or mplayer [04:22] yes [04:22] I use mplayer [04:22] i have vlc not working === DoC_M is now known as DrManhattan [04:22] eightball: this might help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [04:22] eightball: what happens then? exactly... do you get a msg? [04:22] undecim: last I checked DeviceKit or HAL can't actually mount filesystems =P [04:23] does anyone own or use ati cards in their ubuntu system? [04:23] * Callum_Laptop waves at dapenguin [04:23] HAL?! there's no more HAL [04:23] Callum_Laptop: Then what exactly does Devicekit do? And how was I able to use devicekit-disks --mount in the past? [04:23] Callum__Laptop: which one, if you don't mind me asking? [04:23] dapenguin: X300s and X600s [04:23] ok [04:23] oh! [04:23] now what? [04:24] how is the X300? [04:24] undecim: DeviceKit sends signals to programs about hardware being inserted/removed =P [04:24] eightball: what happened? [04:24] hello all [04:25] Callum_Laptop: So how can I get the same functionality as I had in the past with devicekit-disks? [04:25] vlc not playing but load? [04:25] kmplayer same [04:25] apt-get install phpmyadmin -> doesn't let me browse /phpmyadmin in my browser - is there an association that I need to fix? I have already restarted my server... [04:25] you need the 'restricted codecs' repo ... and have the required codecs packages installed, eightball [04:25] Callum_Laptop: Installing the package of the same name gives me "No candidate version found for devicekit-disks" [04:25] not sure how to do that ? [04:26] wasn't devicekit-disks renamed to udisks? [04:26] eightball: did you check the link sacarlson gave you? [04:26] grodii3k: are you local on your phpmyadmin? [04:26] eightball: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:26] Callum_Laptop: That's it! udisks --mount [04:26] Callum_Laptop: tyvm [04:26] sorry close that to early [04:27] undecim: uhh, what did I do? lol [04:27] Hey, I'm looking for some help [04:27] eightball: check this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [04:27] sacarlson: no, SSH'd [04:27] KE1HA: thanks again, it's working :) [04:27] ke1ha got that [04:27] eightball: do you know how to check your sources.lst? [04:27] Callum_Laptop: devicekit-disks was renamed to udisks [04:27] yeah [04:27] grodii3k: I think by default the security will only allow you access from the local machine [04:27] no [04:27] dougb_freebsd: well done :-) [04:28] eightball: install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package. [04:28] still a bit new at ubuntu [04:28] sacarlson: I know theres a way to re-associate, but i can't remember what it is :s [04:28] eightball: or are you using kubunut? === spatz is now known as Guest67236 [04:28] ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version [04:28] ubuntu [04:28] 10.4 [04:28] where can i download the ubuntu dvd [04:29] Callum_Laptop: For future reference, the ability to mount filesystems is not because X is running as root but because policykit is. [04:29] grodii3k: I guess you could vnc into it and open up the restricted access. I'm only used to access over my browser [04:29] !medibuntu | eightball [04:29] eightball: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [04:29] i found it [04:29] Jordan_U: well, yeah, I kinda meant that but I forgot the name of the system that actually did that [04:29] perlsyntax: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/release/ [04:30] eightball: yeah, you will want the medibuntu repo [04:30] * Callum_Laptop drills PolicyKit into his head [04:30] is ubuntu-restricted-extras a package that adds new "Software Sources" to the software center app? [04:30] does anyone use an ati hd 5000 card, here? [04:30] dougb_freebsd: no. [04:31] i thought there was one on ubuntu 10.04.1? [04:31] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu copy the command section ? [04:31] perlsyntax: google it and see. [04:31] Hey [04:31] Dapenguin [04:31] is that an older card or newer card? [04:31] perlsyntax: there's cd images for 10.04.1. [04:31] phil: it's a newer card [04:32] code name of the series is evergreen... like hd 5770 [04:32] Because ATI has only made linux drivers (to use the card and support it) for the last 5 years [04:32] i need dvd [04:32] scarlson - I'm using SSH in my remote server. in that, i did an apt-get install phpmyadmin, then tried xx.com/phpmyadmin - this didn't work. I am trying to access via browser, remotly [04:32] They could give you proprietary drivers from the web site [04:32] ah, ok, I have the url now [04:32] phil: but, apparently, they are not working well for some people [04:32] everyone who's using chromium would you go to google.com and search for "maps" and see if that crashes that tab? thank you [04:33] phil: so, I hoped to find some people here who have one in their machine [04:33] Oh, I see [04:33] phil: I want to upgrade my current card although it's a nvidia [04:33] this started happening to my browser last couple days [04:33] phil: I prefer an ati linux friendly card but the support is iffy? [04:33] Well, i wouldn't know about newer gen cards [04:34] I have an old, not supported graphics *chip* from ATI [04:34] perlsyntax: there doesn't seem to be a dvd release for the .1 inclusion. Just d/load the 10.04 release and update to latest. === m[] is now known as amidelalune [04:34] ok [04:34] but i've heard [04:34] that all of their newer cards have been very well supported [04:34] ok test dvd again [04:34] and even on my friend's machine, he got it running really well on 10.04 [04:34] phil: oh, i do too...but, it's not in a computer right now... lol ...ati x300se [04:35] phil, yes I believe most of the newer cards are supported [04:35] VLC cannot set the DVD's title. It possibly cannot decrypt the entire disc. [04:35] Wow, i have a Rage 128 pro [04:35] from windows 95 era :) [04:35] amzertech: working here with Chromium and Google Maps. [04:35] oh, that's old :) [04:35] but screen went lager on vlc do i need to restart? [04:35] sacarlson,If i do the backports my soundbaster should work then? [04:36] Why yes, it IS quite old [04:36] i can't even enable compiz o_o [04:36] perlsyntax: I dont think there's a Lucid 10.04.1 DVD, or at least I can't find one in releases. [04:37] the iso for the cd I burned said 10.4, but when I boot it says 10.4.1 everywhere [04:37] http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ [04:37] dougb_freebsd: tiz true, 10.04.1 is the point release. [04:38] ... which reminds me, I need to d/l the amd64 version [04:38] I think you would be fine to go with an ATI card, [04:38] perlsyntax: there's a thread on the forums and some mirrors have .1 DVD release. See here... http://bit.ly/bJQ9Lj [04:38] especially if it is the very newest [04:38] where do i get the 32 bit eclipse [04:38] dougb_freebsd: use zsync does MD5 check for you. [04:39] phil: well, I am scared to buy one ... cuz I am a videophile :) [04:40] Here's a good mirror of ubuntu releases: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en&output=linux&restrict=linux [04:40] p_res: those are 10.04.0 not the point release, but would be close. [04:40] No need, from my experience, ATI has taken their newest cards very seriously [04:41] and any bugs that were there at launch have all been ironed out [04:41] KE1HA: sorry, I didn't check any of them. UbuntuForums.org members were posting the links. [04:41] hi back got the dvd to work in movie player hw to get to wotk in clv? [04:41] vlc? [04:42] perlsyntax: just do as suggested. Download .04 release and just aptitude full-upgrade. [04:42] p_res: most of those are the Apr-2010 releases, lots fo changes between there and the point releases. [04:42] and thanks all for the help [04:42] KE1HA: Like I said, I never checked any links or dates. [04:42] Hi, I just installed ubuntu and as part of the installation process, the installer said that it could transfer files from my windows partition [04:43] Now, do you have a 64 bit system ? [04:43] NBrepresent: yeah... and... [04:43] Or do you use 32 bit? [04:43] The documents and pictures etc. are not in my home folder, where should i look for them? [04:43] phil: who? me? [04:43] Sorry, I just realized I posted the wrong link! This one is correct: http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/ubuntu-releases/ [04:43] yes, [04:43] you ;D [04:44] I'm going to re-install ubuntu... I'm using an older ver. but I am doing a new compu. build so ... :) [04:44] ok where to get help on mounting sims 3 and installing it on wine? [04:44] ok pay on linux? [04:44] phil: probably 64-bit since I have 4GB of RAM :) [04:44] NBrepresent: dunno. I don't use Windows or that function of the installer. I just know about it. [04:44] NBrepresent: have a read of this, may help you some: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows/TransferringFilesAndSettings [04:45] dapenguin: yeah, that only makes sense XD Well, all driver support for 64 bit products is shaky [04:45] Does anyone know how to bring back the email/chat/tweet icon onto the panel? [04:45] eightball: I think you should read on the restricted formats... the codecs are a sticky thing... :) but, then sometimes video drivers are an issue :) [04:45] KE1HA: yeah, i saw that, but that's for manually transferring things over [04:45] NBrepresent: did you actually transfer the files? [04:46] phil: but, I'll also use Virtualbox so I'll have 32-bit guests although I might have a partition of a real 32-bit install too... so, i can test and compare :) [04:46] p_res: I thought the installer was going to transfer the directories from my windows partition... that's what it said it was going to do. [04:46] phil: yeah, the flash thing with 64-bit among other things... i thought that had progressed but not sure what the current state is [04:46] But since I don't see them in my home dir, maybe it didn't. [04:46] ok [04:47] NBrepresent: yeah but don't you have to tick the checkbox for it to do so? [04:47] NBrepresent: Which ISO are you using for the installation ? [04:47] I guess I'm asking support questions before I run into trouble lol [04:47] dapenguin: there was a flash 10 64bit beta. adobe killed it [04:47] dapengun: I'm really surprised, actually, because 64 bit has been around for years; but then again, so has linux... [04:47] maco: really?!? [04:47] I did tick the checkbox for documents and pictures. [04:47] dapenguin: yes [04:47] KE1HA: How can I tell you which ISO i used to install? [04:47] maco: so, does it not work or it's just stuck at the beta state before it was killed? [04:47] dapenguin: just use 32bit flash, there's absolutely no problems with it. Probably why Adobe killed off the 64bit project. [04:48] it would be whatever is most current and the default download at ubuntu.com [04:48] dapenguin: Flash has actually dropped linux support with 64 bit [04:48] i just downloaded it yesterday [04:48] dapenguin: Adobe doesn't like us [04:48] p_res: 32-bit flash which can run on 64-bit os, correct? [04:48] dapenguin: it works, but a major security fix was released a few weeks after they killed it off, and of course the 64bit version doesnt have that security fix [04:48] NBrepresent: Ok, TNX [04:48] dapenguin: yep. [04:48] i see [04:48] ok got the dvd to work in vlc thanks all for the help [04:48] may I inquire that adobe is in mikeysoft's pocket? [04:48] dapenguin: No dramas with it here on both Firefox and Chromium. [04:49] ok where to get help on mounting sims 3 and installing it on wine? [04:49] im not aware of flash 64 bit even for windows, is there? [04:49] p_res: I use firefox most of the time but i run chrome from time to time [04:49] smil3y: my Dad has windows 7 64bit and he has 64 bit flash [04:49] smil3y: it IS there for windows [04:49] firefox main chrome opera apple [04:50] it's weird ... 64-bit processors but flash doesn't want to pursue 64-bit flash? [04:50] phil> ah, ok i thought they were in the same boat [04:50] yeah, apple and mikeysoft... that's where adobe likes to sit? [04:50] dapenguin: then you'll have no dramas with either of them. [04:50] dapenguin: 1) Adobe and Apple are sworn rivals ;) 2) 64 bit flash is available for windows [04:50] how to open desktop in full console [04:51] Opera is my main browser; has been since opera 9 ;) [04:51] how to auto load a hadr drive on to the desk top like when you go to places it loads? [04:51] hard [04:51] phil: well, adobe like mikeysoft more than linux, we know that ;) [04:52] howdy [04:52] anyway, i have used 64-bit linux usually and haven't had flash problems too often... i know there's a need for the 32-bit libs and all that ;) [04:52] dapenguin: Of course, because mikeysoft still caters to the wishes of Adobe ;) Apple said "screw you" [04:52] guys wts the official ubuntu 10.10 channel? [04:52] wick94: #ubuntu+1 [04:52] thnx [04:53] I'm not quite in that boat yet [04:53] wick94: You're welcome. [04:53] XD I don't need 64 bit for 512mb of pc133 RAM :P [04:53] phil: ah... i hear ya... :) [04:53] Microsoft, you both mean Microsoft. spelling it wrong does not display your leetness [04:53] well, the laptop I'm on has 2gb but only a centrino m cpu [04:54] dapenguin: um, centrino isnt a cpu [04:54] IdleOne: it doesn't? [04:54] Oh, [04:54] well [04:54] but, I had other clever names, too... :-/ [04:54] :) [04:54] My dad has dual core and lords it over me [04:54] ;D [04:54] dapenguin: centrino means "intel's current cpu, gpu, and chipset", whatever that happens to be at the time (i think its those 3... i know its a set of 3 things, only 1 of which is the cpu) [04:54] exit [04:55] phil: always good to have at least 1 dual core machine at your disposal :) [04:55] maco: oh... well, it's for a thinkpad t41 [04:55] Is there a better way than uninstalling PulseAudio to control the volume of my headphones separately from my speakers? (Also, my mic isn't working) [04:55] Of course; because he does things that (although would require half the resources on linux..) take up all his resources [04:56] dapenguin: cat /proc/cpuinfo <-- thats how you find out what your cpu is [04:56] Is using Ubuntu greater than 10.04 recommended? [04:56] dapenguin: i have a 4 year old "centrino" machine, which means it has a core duo [04:56] maco: or i could google? :) [04:56] I'm on xp right now... actually... [04:56] PeterFA: No, anything higher than 10.04 is highly unstable. [04:57] had windows 7 but hard drive is going bad ubuntu work fine n it [04:57] PeterFA: They are just tests and stuff to show what the next one will be like [04:57] phil, ok. I'm trying to solve my sound problem. I believe people with my sound card cannot get sound with Ubuntu. [04:57] oh, yeah, i meant pentium m cpu... oops [04:57] ah, whatever, I'll just remove PA yet again [04:58] I hope 10.10 and ati evergreen cards play nice... i don't know if i should get such a card or stay with nvidia [04:58] dapenguin: centrino is intel's mobile technology, wifi and wimax. the cpu is probabbly a Pentium-m. [04:58] dapenguin: Wow, that's old... my mom's (and dad's old) laptop (Dell Latitude D600) Uses those [04:58] KE1HA: yeah, you're right [04:58] phil: I know :) [04:58] any ekiga users here ? [04:58] phil: but, my p45 machine will be built soon... i just need to get my q6600 cpu back :) [04:59] what work is easy and work better in linux nvidia or amd/ati? [04:59] dapenguin: wow :o I want a powerfull machine myself ;) [04:59] eightball: don't ask me... trying to get perspective on this but the group is quiet :) [04:59] nvidia is always easier to use in linux [04:59] ok [04:59] Nvidia has always been supported out of the box [04:59] (as far as i can remember) [05:00] i want to go with the linux friendly side but the support is usually lacking for ati [05:00] eightball, intel is good for non-gaming boxes, just my $.02 [05:00] But not for most of the Newer ATI cards [05:00] hello [05:00] i came from china [05:00] phil: true but you have to usually install manually... it's a major task to install the latest nvidia driver, usually [05:00] however, I've done it more than a few times ;-) [05:00] valbaca: my Intel QX9770 would disagree with that :-) [05:01] hi [05:01] can you tell me how to connect my computer with ubuntu with the internet [05:01] KE1HA, sorry to hear that [05:01] phil: my machine won't be powerful compared to the new machines out nowadays but it's good enough for me once i get it built ;) === Omni|AFK is now known as Omnifarious [05:01] vishwajeet, dsl, dial-up, wireless, cable? [05:02] can you help he pick out an nvidia card that can be use a PVR =personal Video recorder ? and can play games like star craft 2? [05:02] vishwajeet, which isp do u have [05:02] dapenguin: Yeah, but honestly, most of these machines are unnecessary horsepower :) Like, who needs 16 gb ram and 8 1gb dedicated graphics cards o_e [05:02] valbaca: no need to be, it smokes all my AMD-9X cpus' :-) [05:03] KE1HA, oh I was talking graphics cards, i ONLY use intel (sry, offtopic) [05:03] phil: right... and I can only afford 1 1gb graphics card ...lol [05:03] I guess it is dsl [05:03] is there any way to stop my "wi-fi connected" light on my laptop from blinking whenever I get traffic on that link? [05:03] but I have connected it with the cable [05:04] valbaca: :-) Yeah, we;ll get busted if we don't get back On-topics.

[05:08] walked me through it* [05:09] i'm considering getting a couple of ssd to put in raid 0...

Didn't say SSD's were not supported at all. [05:15] vishwajeet> did any of that work? [05:15] what about usb 3.0 ?? [05:16] KE1HA: valbaca: so as of 10.10 will I get trim (and i guess more to the point good performance overall) out of an SSD raid 0 on an intel matrix fakeraid? [05:16] ipv5: Unless you have to dual boot with windows I'd avoid fakeraid. [05:16] Jordan_U: yeah, ordinarily i would do software raid, but a lot of the point of the fancy ssds is for gaming under (ugh) windows [05:17] eightball: don't quote me on this, but I thought USB-3 was supported in something like 2.6.30.31 [05:17] ok [05:17] 30 / 31 [05:17] ipv5, yes. trim support started in 2.6.28; FULL trim support was completed in 2.6.33. I'm using lucid with my ssd and it's screaming fast [05:18] what size of ssd do you have or need for ubuntu? [05:18] valbaca: sweet. maybe this is a silly question, but is trim unaffected by raid striping? [05:19] heyy [05:19] eightball: i was considering getting a pair of 64GB ssds for a raid0 [05:19] Im having some trouble with my ubuntu installation. Usually when you run the install menu from the live cd, it give you the choice to create a ubuntu partition from the free space of your windows partition, the result being the ability to dual boot both windows and ubuntu. However as of right now the live CD's installation menu only gives me the option to erase the entire windows partition and replace it with Ubuntu. Any thoughts? [05:19] ah, /list ubuntu wasn't the brighest idea I've ever had [05:19] anyone here know how to run a shoutcast type thing? how to dj to a server, and then have it streamed to others [05:19] ipv5, (no dumb questions) I would think it would HELP with trimming [05:19] camjack: Could you post a screenshot?

Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [05:19] valbaca: and that's a patched kernel right? [05:20] eightball: but i was only going to use maybe 20GB for the ubuntu side [05:20] camjack manual partition then? [05:20] ok [05:20] anyone know how to stream music to a shoutcast server? [05:20] is it possible to create a shortcut to a dir? what I want to do is be able to cd Desktop/some-dir with the command "cd desk-dir " [05:21] madF0x, you mean like use EASEUS or equivalent to create another partition to install ubuntu on? [05:21] KE1HA, I'm using the stock kernel. i haven't noticed any decrease in speed and I figure my laptop will die before i wear out the ssd [05:21] valbaca: that's interesting. i guess i had envisioned its understanding of the physical layout being hampered by having contingent-appearing blocks on separate devices. glad to hear it's not an issue [05:21] hey guys, what's the best irc client for ubuntu? similar to mIRC on Windows? [05:21] eightball, I'm using a 50GB and I'm only using 21% of it (I keep music on my external hd) [05:21] ipv5 i might invest in ssd be need an idea what size and the cost is a isue [05:21] i'm using xchat atm, anything better [05:21] valbaca: fare enough. mute point if you happy with it.

[05:22] cool :) is there a way to save favourite channels in xchat? [05:22] like mirc? [05:23] Jordan_U: that is fine, actually probably better [05:23] yeah [05:23] i can't install ubuntu with unetbootin on a 150G usb drive, help me [05:23] you can use scripts [05:23] what does chatzilla need? [05:23] well it probably helps that I doubt 150 usb drives exist [05:23] Jordan_U: I just have no idea where I would put this "new command" [05:23] rather define it [05:23] i use it with firefox not sure how to use it by it self [05:24] nocturnus, I think unetbootin needs FAT32 and FAT32's max hd size is 32GB [05:24] dapenguin: firefox¿ [05:24] valbaca: the partition was 10G though [05:24] valbaca: are you telling me there's no way to install linux on a 150G drive with unetbootin?

You're welcome :) [05:25] you need the CD version mate, the 650 MB one [05:26] e.g. ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso [05:26] valbaca: no? [05:26] valbaca: its not even being recognized as a boto device [05:26] does it need a boot flag from the partition manager [05:27] nocturnus, yes [05:27] camjack: is your partition full and/or fragmented? [05:27] note that service --status-all does list freenx-server [05:28] going to bed thanks all for the dvd play back help [05:28] valbaca: are you sure unetbootin requires fat32 [05:28] I just defragmented the drive, at another suggestion. didnt accomplish anything [05:28] the drive isnt near full, [05:28] any one could tell me how to write the http proxy information [05:28] camjack: I guess you are forced to repartition resize manually. gparted can do this but anytime you do this type of operation there can be danger in loses so make sure you backup your personal files first. [05:29] camjack: if the installer won't give you the dual-boot option you could try using gparted manually to resize the partition and add in the new ones you want [05:29] ha, yeah i'm too slow; what sacarlson said ;-)O [05:29] nocturnus, I'm mostly sure. looking right now [05:30] ipv5, Im gonna try that now and if doesnt work I'll be back. [05:30] camjack: partitionmagic is another option that can be run from the windows side. again it can still be a danger of losses [05:30] thanks again to everyone for all the help.

I added my alias and also noticed I had already created a few other aliases. :) [05:32] valbaca: where does it say fat32 won't work on drives larger than 150G for unetbootin purposes [05:33] nocturnus, it shouldn't. that's stumping me too. [05:33] ? [05:33] it doesn't say anywhere, so what do you mean 'it shouldn't [05:33] hey everyone, i'm having trouble with the trackpad on my dell1525. It seems there is a slight delay in the actual click after tapping it. Any fixes? [05:34] nocturnus, sorry, i meant to say: it shouldn't not work (it should work! lol) [05:34] nocturnus, isnt 150 G enough for your purpose? [05:36] WinstonSmith: that's not the problem [05:36] WinstonSmith: please pay attention [05:36] Hithere, I'm trying to install Ubuntu for the first time, but the installer doesn't seem to detect my Windows Install. How do do I set up the partitions properly? [05:37] @graytrox: try using Wubi [05:37] does win using whole hd? [05:37] grayatrox specify partitions manually, cause it should still see the partition anyways [05:37] Wubi tries to download the ISO again, but I do not have broadband [05:37] nocturnus, sry didnt read that :( [05:38] I can walk ya through it [05:38] WinstonSmith: unetbootin is supposed to not work with >32G partitions because it requires fat32 [05:38] madf0x, That's what I'm asking, last time I tried, It installed, but it didn't boot [05:38] someone in #archlinux tells me it doesn't require that, and he says it works on ext2 [05:38] make sure the iso and wubi are in the same folder and they are the same versions (wubi 10.4 should have ubuntu 10.4) [05:38] Can you tell how to write http proxy information? [05:38] nocturnus, Fat32 can do much bigger partitions then 32 gigs [05:39] happysam: you could look in gconf-editor, desktop/gnome/accessibility/mouse (or some such) see if that gives you something useful. [05:39] I had the ubuntu disk sent in the mail. Will I have to make an iso of that disk? [05:39] nocturnus: 8TB if I remember correctly, been a while though. [05:39] you can via IMGBURN (freeware) on windows [05:39] nocturnus, 2-16 TB [05:39] depends on cluster size [05:39] anyone able to help me suss out an audio issue? [05:40] the issue being it dont want to work [05:40] happysam: you are responsible for any damage to your system, check what the widgets do first. You have been warned. [05:40] !pm > happysam [05:40] happysam, please see my private message [05:40] yowshi did you download the codecs? What part of "audio" wont work? [05:41] Ok, thanks madf0x [05:42] madf0x: i am pretty sure i have the codecs installed but nothing can seem to make any sound [05:42] Anyway, could someone tell me that when I try to run "screenlets-manger" in the terminal it gives me a "import pygtk not found" error when pygtk is installed? [05:43] why* [05:43] melon: have you tried reinstalling python-gtk2 ? [05:44] I have two wired connection but one of them connected automatically that I don't want . how can I set default wired connection to connect ? [05:44] does fat32 have the 'boot' boot flag ? [05:45] The applet that switches users and shuts down has disappeared, and I can't see which applet it was to bring it back. [05:45] nocturnus: if you set it in your partition program it will. All you want to know, and more about FAT32: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table [05:45] Mathuin: Yes via Synaptic Package Manger and still same error [05:46] melon: huh. It went away when I deinstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled. [05:46] Mathuin: hmm I will try that process in that order [05:46] deinstall screenlets first. [05:47] KE1HA: .. yeah? [05:47] hmmm, that reminds me of a question ... has anyone here ever used gparted to create a large (100GB or so) fat32 primary partition, then installed windows XP into it? [05:48] No but if youre comfortable with partitioning then you can't harm much by trying [05:48] I have a completely messed up system is there a way to just trim the thing down as far as packages go, ie. delete everyting save what it's initial installation of ubuntu-server was [05:48] dougb_freebsd: sounds like a recipe for disaster, or at least a reconfig! [05:48] why disaster? [05:48] (I'm going to start with a clean disk, btw) [05:49] dougb_freebsd: why not use ntfs? [05:49] ESPECIALLY try it if you got a clean disk! then you really cant harm anything :) [05:49] dougb_freebsd: my memory is not too good but I think fat32 can only work up to about 32gig with max 4gig file size [05:49] Mathuin: noted [05:49] sacarlson: ;) [05:49] dougb_freebsd, i have installed XP on 80 GB drives w/ Fat32 [05:50] nocturnus: when you use fdisk, gparted or whatever disk partitioner, you can set the boot flag on any given partition. You usually see the little "*" by it if it's set to boot. [05:50] but not formatted with parted [05:50] greezmunkey: I need a large fat32 partition to hold data that I share b/t windows and unices ... right now I have a windows primary partition, 2 freebsds, an extended partition with ubuntu and my fat32 data disk [05:50] !botsnack [05:50] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [05:50] I'd like to combine the windows and data partitions [05:50] Oooh, solved my own issue. 'indicator-me' was gone somehow. [05:50] WinstonSmith: ah, excellent, how did you create it to start? [05:50] Hey, anyone know the code after I installed Wine for using ConvertXToDVD. I haven't installed ConvertXToDVD as it seems it won't [05:51] dougb_freebsd, 2 secs gonna look it up [05:51] !ping [05:51] pong [05:51] !test [05:51] hrm? [05:51] sacarlson: scandolous tripe, perpetrated by microsoft who wants you to switch to ntfs so no other OS can read your data :) [05:52] I already have created the large fat 32 partitions for years, what I haven't even done is installed winxp into them [05:52] I can read ntfs data no problem o.O [05:52] madf0x: yeah, there are tools to do that now, but 7 years ago when they introduced ntfs, there were not [05:52] dougb_freebsd, i used this : ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/ctsi/h2format.zip its a windows CLI tool though [05:52] however, microsoft has stuck with the party line of "fat 32 only for small disks" [05:53] ok, thanks WinstonSmith, I'll give that a look [05:53] dougb_freebsd, this tools has been around more or less 6 years [05:53] if I want to migrate some wifi passwords (gnome network manager) to another computer - which dot folders/files do i need? [05:53] its from c't a really good german IT magazine [05:54] yeah, I'm familiar with it [05:54] madf0x: if they can access your physical hardware you're already 0wn3d :) [05:55] Mathuin: how come now all that loads when I boot up is a white terminal? all I did is remove "python-gtk2" and screenlets [05:56] melon: I don't know. Now reload python-gtk2 and screenlets, and reboot again. [05:56] That's how I fixed it. [05:56] how do I reload python-gtk2? "sudo apt-get python-gtk2? [05:56] dougb_freebsd: well this document from microsoft seem to support my statement but they call it max volume. You cannot format a volume larger than 32 gigabytes (GB) in size using the FAT32 file system during the Windows XP installation process. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314463 maybe you can have multi volumes that add up to bigger than 32gig [05:57] ^^^ during the XP install process :D [05:57] madf0x: yes so maybe after install you can make it bigger. [05:58] sacarlson: key words being, "under the windows installation process" :) [05:58] melon: "sudo apt-get install screenlets" should drag in python-gtk2 as well. [05:58] you have to create and format the partition using other tools [05:58] does Shutterworth uses his own OS? [05:58] Mathuin: ah thx will try now [05:59] grrrr [05:59] dougb_freebsd: so maybe that is only supported by 3rd party software that microsoft didn't support. [05:59] elitexray: no, he uses OS/2 [06:00] is there another form of ubuntu unix? [06:00] elitexray: kubunut and others [06:00] kubuntu* === blake_ is now known as idigthought [06:01] backtrack linux is ubuntu based now, so yo can easily use it to hack networks and make a profit [06:01] the fat32 spec goes up much higher than that, you can go up to 8 terabytes with the right clusters, or up to 2 terabytes on a standard mbr-compatible disk [06:01] How do i enable private home partition to automount on startup [06:02] Hi, how would I add the partner's repo? [06:02] sacarlson, that 32GB limit its just an artificial barrier imposed by M$ [06:02] dougb_freebsd: have you looked at fuse? [06:02] Actually... maybe I should back up... I'm trying to install sun-java6* [06:02] dougb_freebsd: I'll stick to ext3 and above myself. you can read that from windows also. some frown on this but I've done it with no problem. [06:02] i installed it fine [06:02] but javac: command not found [06:02] :( [06:02] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table [06:03] greezmunkey: I have, and unfortunately fuse in freebsd is very very scary and/or outright bad for your data [06:03] sacarlson: how would you mount an ext3 volume in windows? [06:03] I wonder if anyone can get windows to run under an ext3/4 o.O [06:03] probably not [06:03] I actually need to learn more about ext*, that's one reason I'm installing ubuntu in the first place [06:03] dougb_freebsd: I use a 3rd party software to enable that. [06:04] sacarlson, what do you use to read ext3 under windows? i used some older driver but that supported only ext2 if i recall correctly.. [06:04] care to share the name/url? :) [06:04] http://www.soluvas.com/read-browse-explore-open-ext2-ext3-ext4-partition-filesystem-from-windows-7/ [06:04] bikcmp: inubuntu click system > administration > software sources > authenticate > select the 'others' tab and then select the 2 choices there [06:05] lincoln6echo: I enabled it; i'm using ubuntu via ssh though [06:05] sacarlson, thx [06:05] lincoln6echo: back to my question though...

[06:06] lincoln6echo: yah [06:06] any ideas on my javac problem? [06:07] sacarlson, does this mount the partition under a drive letter or can you only browse etc? [06:08] If youre browsing it, then its mounted :) [06:08] bikcmp: unfortunately not... I would manually download and install it. but you probably know more about it than me....i'm still somewhat of a newb [06:08] madf0x, nope [06:08] dougb_freebsd: yikes, I fat fingered that, check here: http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2007/03/mount-ext2-or-ext3-partition-in-windows.html [06:08] sacarlson: does this soluvas run on winxp?

[06:12] I [06:12] ive never experienced with KDE [06:13] boot the live cd and give it a test drive :) [06:13] Yeah I just might [06:14] KDE has similarities to Windows 7's interface [06:14] Just a note, ive had serious issues with the latest kubuntu across multiple re-installations that only a fresh ubuntu install "fixed" [06:14] That and there are more gnome programs with significant less bugs.. [06:15] So gnome is preferred above kde === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [06:16] Depending on who you talk to [06:16] I USED to love KDE but I've converted.

[06:17] grrr it plays but i aint getting any sound out of the damned speakersa [06:17] I only just heard about kde since you mentioned Shutterworth operates on KDe [06:17] kde and gnome both have plusses and minuses, it sort of depends on what feels right to you [06:18] elitexray: O_o if mark uses kde, i'm surprised, seeing as kubuntu was an afterthought suggested by the community === root is now known as Guest11259 [06:18] hello [06:18] and both are highly configurable, so what you install is just a starting point [06:18] Hi, I am unable to see the statistics of a windows client.

[06:26] bikcmp: maybe its not in your PATH, javac is in /usr/lib/jvm//bin/javac [06:26] greezmunkey:: ? i think your right... [06:26] I know java5 worked fine [06:26] rww: I think China holds the mortgage on Atlantis as well... [06:26] sweetpi: that was it [06:26] * bikcmp hugs sweetpi [06:27] bikcmp: :) [06:27] bikcmp: I just tested my install and at the command javac works for me on ubuntu 10.04, [06:27] sacarlson: i'm on 8.04 compiling stuff [06:28] bikcmp: I just upgraded to 10.04 about 1 month ago and was running 8.04 with javac ok there also [06:28] hrm [06:28] i donno [06:28] only 5 hours until this is done compiling, what fun [06:28] :) [06:29] bikcmp: I have the restriced extra package installed. I know that installs part of my java [06:29] Its javacc [06:30] goodnight all [06:30] bikcmp: I see this javac 1.6.0_18 when I run javac -version [06:31] whoa [06:31] 100 erros [06:31] smooth [06:32] hello.. i was working with rsync using ssh .. i have added the script to cron. when i run it, it works, but when it runs at thr specified time, it gives errors.. could anyone help please? [06:33] meditator: it would help a bit if you told us the errors you had. [06:34] sacarlson, opening connection using: ssh -i /home/meditator/.ssh/XXXXX 192.168.100.12 rsync --server -vvvlogDtprze.iLsf --delete . /media/Data [sender] _exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=601): about to call exit(12) [06:34] thats the error [06:34] in the log file specified [06:36] meditator: I see no error in that [06:36] sacarlson, my script is: rsync -azpt --delete --stats -e "ssh -i /home/meditator/.ssh/XXXXX" /media/Data2/Data/ 192.168.100.12:/media/Data > /home/meditator/rsync_logs/$(date).log [06:36] sacarlson, but it doesnt work.. the backup doesnt happen.. [06:36] can you set up rsyncd on 192.168.100.12? [06:36] i can.. [06:37] would it make a difference? [06:37] maybe, :) [06:37] :) [06:37] sacarlson is right though, we need to know the error [06:38] try adding -v to the ssh command line, and/or look in the system logs [06:38] how do i find out the error? [06:38] ok.. let me try again [06:40] meditator: you might find an error in /var/log/auth.log [06:40] ask : can i make own jacket using Ubuntu Logo? Where i can contact Ubuntu for license permission. === administrator is now known as Guest17243 [06:42] hello [06:43] adahendra: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official [06:43] mtx_init: Thank You [06:44] sacarlson, Mycomp CRON[5220]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user meditator by (uid=0) [06:44] thats the error [06:44] in the /var/log/auth.log [06:45] but does it look lik an error? it just looks like a log of access? [06:47] use ssh -v [06:47] I should say, add -v to the command line [06:52] dougb_freebsd, i added -vvv to the command line and also changed the "ssh -i" to "ssh -i -v" [06:53] still the output is no different.. [06:53] from cron, or on the command line? [06:54] on the command line.. i have saved a .sh file .. and am running the file from cron.. [06:54] try running the commands that are in the .sh file on the command line itself [06:54] meditator: you don't need the file extension. They don't mean much in linux. You could change the extension to .jpg and it'd still run [06:55] ok.. let me try again.. [06:55] ActionParsnip: true, but nautilus could get confused :) [06:56] dougb_freebsd: nautilus is dumb and should use file rather than silly extensions like windows does, its soooo 1993 [06:56] it did evil things yesterday when there was a png file that was named .jpg [06:56] yes, agree on that completely [06:56] I'm looking for a software multiplexing solution - send same keystrokes to multiple X windows on same display. Any suggestions for existing projects that do that? [06:56] Example HotKeyNet under Windows does this [06:57] dougb_freebsd, should it run as x application or just "default behaviour" ? [06:57] meditator: when I say "command line" what do you think I mean? :) [06:58] hint: open up a terminal window [06:58] anybody know how I can refer to the windows start button in metacity? [06:58] (and the left arrow for that matter) [06:59] jubei: super [06:59] greezmunkey, ? [06:59] oh ok.. from the command line it works alright.. [06:59] jubei: in linux the "windows key" is called Super [07:00] jubei: on you keyboard, right? [07:00] greezmunkey, oh i got it. thanks^^ And the left arrow?^^ [07:00] installation of 10.4.1 32-bit stuck at 83%(importing documents and settings) for the last 20 mins, i this normal? [07:00] jubei: uh..."left" arrow ?!? :) [07:00] meditator: ok, so the next step is to try running the script on the command line and see if you get errors [07:00] lol [07:01] ciao === carlo is now known as Guest9931 [07:05] anyone knows how can i quickly format a recently added HD with ext3? [07:05] ELREY: mkfs.ext3 [07:06] ELREY sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/[whatever] [07:06] ty! [07:06] ELREY: it will need to have a partition too, if it is unpartitioned (rare) you will need to use fdisk to make a FAT [07:06] but tools like palimpset or gparted should support that, too [07:07] actually i working from a vm [07:07] and i added an unpartitioned HD [07:07] ELREY: don't listen to ActionParsnip. You don't need a FAT for your ext3. And you don't need fdisk. it's hostile. parted is way nicer. === grayatrox is now known as Guest80936 [07:08] how can i fix my flash drive - it won't unmount and when i set ubuntu not to mount it and try fix format the entire thing it fails "Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/sdb: Input/output error" [07:08] Muelli: both will make the partition table if one is needed === Adam12131 is now known as Adam1213 [07:09] Hi all, Im new to linux and was wodering if anyone can suggest a few good websites for new people to learn?

[07:09] ActionParsnip: "file allocation table" and "partition table" aren't synonyms. [07:09] rww: d'oh [07:09] Hahaha [07:10] ActionParsnip: it's UI is 30 years old. And you feel it once you've started it. [07:10] how can i force linux to format a flash drive [07:10] Muelli: still works and does what it says on the tin. The UI to the man pages is equally old.... [07:10] i.e. selecting a partitions type is so... 70s... [07:10] Guest80936: restore from backups, simple [07:10] how can i check which disk is each one? sda1 sda2, etc? is there any way to retrieve disk info? [07:11] I just checked, and Muelli is right! fdisk hates me. [07:11] ELREY: blkinfo [07:11] ELREY: sudo fdisk -l will list the disks and their partitions [07:11] ELREY: blkid, sorry [07:11] ELREY: df -h as well [07:11] cccasket: nope. only for mounted partitions [07:12] Muelli: it might be mounted [07:12] ActionParsnip: it might be not. *shrug* [07:12] I am new to Ubuntu, how do I resize my partitions?, It has given me a 21 GB swap instead of the 8 GB that I formatted it as [07:13] Guest80936: uh. you might want to try gparted. but you might shred your data. [07:13] Guest80936: boot to live CD. You can manipulate partitions there [07:13] o`_`o [07:14] Any suggestions for a software multiplexer for me to use? I just need to send keystrokes to multiple X windows at the same time. Can't find anything like that [07:14] cccasket: interesting idea, what are you trying to accomplish with that? [07:15] cccasket: you could wrote a script to take an input and spit it to each. Not sure how though but makes sense to me [07:16] multi-boxing world of warcraft on wine. I've seen at least one person with a custom python script to multiplex. Was thinking of picking that script up and starting from there if there are no existing mature projects [07:16] lol === root is now known as Guest72128 [07:17] hello [07:17] there are windows apps: AutoHotKey, HotKeyNet which do what I am interested in. however they are quite flakey in Wine.

[07:21] dougb_freebsd, sorry.. was away.. somebody called me for some help.. yes .. i tried running the script from command .. it works alright.. it didnt ask me for any password [07:21] dump_block didn't seem to give file names. [07:21] slipperychicken: lsof | grep `pidof gedit` [07:22] cccasket, what if you don't know where it's coming from ? [07:22] meditator: that sounds to me like you're using ssh-agent, is that right? [07:22] slipperychicken: you can find out by cross referencing the process ids in output of lsof [07:22] slipperychicken: lsof | more [07:22] noted. i shall take a look. [07:22] DoubleString, thats right.. [07:23] dougb_freebsd, thats right [07:23] how to edit local setting ,,from where,,? [07:23] meditator: so what does that suggest to you as a possible source of your error when your script is run from cron? [07:24] what driver for an nvidia geforce 6150 se? there is the 173, the 96 and the version current [07:25] intok, i had good luck with the 173 driver on an 8800gt [07:25] dougb_freebsd, i have tried to run it through cron as root as well as myself.. but either ways it doesnt work.. so i'm not sure it it is an authentication problem... [07:26] ai.. [07:26] meditator: when you ssh to the host as yourself ssh-agent is providing the authentication credentials to the remote host [07:26] intok, that being said, try current first, others if your application isn't performing well [07:26] cron != meditator [07:26] cccasket well this is an old igp, hasn't it been dropped to legacy status? [07:27] intok, i would still try current first [07:27] dougb_freebsd, is there a "tcpdump" for file systems ? [07:27] !cron [07:27] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [07:27] dougb_freebsd, lsof is helping... but i can't catch it when it comes in. [07:28] slipperychicken: I installed ubuntu 10.04 and it has tcpdump, yes [07:28] dougb_freebsd, to watch file system access. [07:28] dougb_freebsd, so doesnt ssh-agent provide the credentials when cron is run as myself? [07:28] slipperychicken, if you grep for the file name you should be able to grab the pid [07:28] meditator: because ssh-agent is tied to a login session === C210|away is now known as Centurion210 [07:29] evening all, weird issue.... I have a storage drive that sits mounted along side my main drive. If I format/re-label/change my storage drive in any way, then my system will not reboot.

[07:29] my VLC can play AVI,MPEG,well,,but when i am playing MKV file,,there is no sound,,please help [07:29] ? [07:30] slipperychicken, what access? [07:30] lo [07:30] meditator: you need to learn about setting up access for an unattended process ... the usual way to do that is with a restricted account on the target system and a passwordless ssh key [07:30] i try to run vmware7.1 on my ubuntu 10.04 [07:30] slipperychicken: take a step back, what problem are you seeing that you would like to solve? [07:30] i can't get parted -l to work.. is there any other way to get partition type? [07:30] what dougb said. [07:30] but i can't stop virtual service , please help about this problem if you can [07:31] oh ok.. [07:31] my VLC can play AVI,MPEG,well,,but when i am playing MKV file,,there is no sound,,any ideas guys,,? [07:31] cccasket, dougb_freebsd , i'm trying to figure out what is writing to these hard drives. [07:31] 56 [07:31] 42 [07:32] meditator: it's not hard to do, you should be able to find docs on it if you search, I vaguely recall a how-to on how to do it with rsync in fact, but it's been years since I've looked at it [07:32] thanks dougb_freebsd , let me try it out.. i had read on forums though.. that public key authentication works.. with rsync.. [07:32] is this channel strictly for ubuntu? [07:32] slipperychicken: describe that in more detail, what are you seeing that is making you think there is a problem? [07:32] dougb_freebsd, for example http://troy.jdmz.net/rsync/index.html [07:33] meditator: for rsync ssh is just the transport layer, a way to establish the connection between systems so that the bits can flow [07:33] pickel: ubuntu or the supported derivatives like kubuntu [07:33] that's why in some ways rsyncd is easier, it handles some of that drama for you [07:33] dougb_freebsd, floods of hard disc activity every so often. i'm sitting at init 1 on the server, swap deactivated, no cron, no syslog. [07:33] meditator: yes, that looks like the right stuff [07:34] i know this is newbish of me but i need some good resources as i am completely new to linux [07:34] !manual > pickel [07:34] pickel, please see my private message [07:34] slipperychicken, have you tried just watching top and checking to see what spikes cpu? [07:34] slipperychicken: can you do 'ps ax' at that time to see what processes are active? [07:34] dougb_freebsd, thanks.. let me have a good read into it.. thanks for ur help.. [07:34] yeah, or top [07:35] meditator: no worries, just walk through all the steps and you should be fine [07:35] DoubleString, cccasket i've tried both of those. [07:35] it comes in, does it's thing, and stops. [07:35] how long is it going on for? [07:35] slipperychicken: it sounds like you are talking about a webserver? have you disconnected it from the network already? [07:36] 5 to 10 secs [07:36] yup [07:36] init 1, no network [07:36] slipperychicken: physically disconnected as well? [07:36] it's like someone put a script on and it's doing something. [07:36] slipperychicken: rootkits will lie to you [07:36] cccasket, yes. [07:37] cccasket, no ethernet cable.

[07:37] Hi, how do i open a port ?? [07:37] arvind_khadri: You don't need to. Just run whatever program will be listening on that port [07:37] ok, in that situation I'd try tripwire .... run it once to get a baseline, then run it again after you see this disk activity to see what's up .... better yet if you can take the physical disk out of the troubled system and access it on another isolated system [07:38] slipperychicken, you can't trust the output of any of the utilities we've mentioned if you think you were rooted. and yes, tripwire is great for this kind of thing [07:38] i'll take a look. [07:38] slipperychicken, md5sum on the utilities/other executables /system files and compare to a known good one - run md5sum from a live cd or another known good system [07:38] Flannel, this is regarding nagios, I am running it, but connections are being timed out [07:38] as dougb said [07:39] but tripwire is for automating that process really [07:39] good evening and good luck.

[07:49] if it was nvidia I was going to suggest their utility for doing what you are trying to do [07:49] arvind_khadri, yea [07:49] nope just plain old intel, shows my desktop and magenta bars but not the correct screen... [07:49] and I know the monitor works. [07:49] X32: are you able to get this configuration working in another OS? [07:50] on this machine?

[07:57] X32, -s should be the ip of the client right, from which I want to accept ? [07:58] arvind_khadri, yes I use that to make my computer talk to my PS3 which is 10.10.10.5 that is a direct wire connection however so make sure if a router is involved you forward the ports.... [07:59] arvind_khadri, also you might need to do the same command and replace tcp with udp to open both types of data.

[08:22] sacarlson no, but I have all the Gstreamer plugins as well as VLC [08:23] how to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.04.1 ? [08:24] intok: this will give you more codec's and other stuf https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [08:25] anyone have problems with UbuntuOne consuming massive amounts of I/O? Is there any way to schedule it so it only runs when I'm not using the machine? [08:26] ectospasm: massive I/O? what type? from what? [08:26] can somebody help me install torbutton for firefox pls? i always get some errors that the polipo proxy isnt running properly...? [08:26] sacarlson: Disk I/O [08:26] sacarlson: from UbuntuOne [08:26] ectospasm: what process? [08:26] The sync daemon [08:27] It seems to run periodically, consuming I/O (leaving the CPU in a large amount of iowait % according to top and iostat) [08:27] like 40-50% [08:28] Also, when it happens, input seems to block if it requires disk access. [08:28] ectospasm: my command iotop shows sync_supers at almost zero [08:28] how can you get the network applet on your bootom panel? [08:28] iotop is broken here [08:28] oh found it yay [08:29] sacarlson: iotop consistently complains of CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT not being configured for this kernel [08:29] ectospasm: must me some process you started [08:29] is there anyone who could help me save my system in rescue mode [08:29] ectospasm: what version of ubuntu is this? [08:29] sacarlson: iotop does report that the sync daemon is running when my HDD light goes solid on [08:29] 10.04 [08:29] I'll start by saying that I like the new Ubuntu. [08:29] p0pc0rn: depends on the issue.. :] [08:29] hello [08:30] sacarlson: it's taken me a while to track it down, and the only positive ID on the process has been sync daemon for Ubuntu One [08:30] well_laid_lawn, i have no idea what the issue is [08:30] ectospasm: Ubuntu One what is that a user? [08:30] p0pc0rn: k - you are in rescue mode - why? [08:30] But I still have some trouble with my video card drivers (ATI, who would've guessed). [08:30] sacarlson: Ubuntu One is the cloud storage service provided to Ubuntu users. [08:31] 2GB storage for free [08:31] 50GB for a "low" fee [08:31] ectospasm: oh ok so it's some kind of rsync service. [08:31] When I try to run Catalyst, I get the following error: No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly. [08:31] i start to get familiar with ubuntu but i am forced to use it as root cause the nm-applet doesn't show my mobile broadband connection when i enter as a normal user what should i do? [08:31] well_laid_lawn, i have no idea. when i rebooted my computer i was presented with a text based installer. it looks like the mini installer. i chose rescue mode because it is the closes i can get at this point to booting my current install. [08:31] However, I have installed the drivers and they should be enabled [08:31] sacarlson: sorta, it runs on Python [08:31] ectospasm: I don't use it, maybe you can cron it so it runns later [08:32] any thoughts? [08:32] closest* [08:32] sacarlson: it's a daemon, I don't know about running it in cron [08:32] it's not like a script that runs and exits. [08:32] p0pc0rn: so reading between the lines you couldn't boot so put in a live cd? [08:32] !one [08:32] 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 [08:32] well_laid_lawn, No. [08:33] ectospasm: well if it can start and stop create two scripts the do each and setup 2 crontab events when your not using the system and it's still powered up. [08:33] p0pc0rn: where does the installer come into it pls? [08:33] well_laid_lawn, when i start my system [08:33] should i upgrade the network manager and the applet to solve this problem? [08:34] sacarlson: I don't think it works that way [08:34] can i run two x server session on single pc [08:34] like gdmflexiserver --xnest [08:34] p0pc0rn: I think that is the grub boot menu then [08:34] ectospasm: you mean doesn't or cant? [08:34] but that one doesnt work [08:34] sacarlson What exactly does the Restricted Extras even get me aside from redundant media players? The same files play fine locally, they just wont play when loaded via FTP [08:34] sacarlson: I don't know if it _can't_, but it doesn't, and there's no way to control it from the GUI applet used to configure it [08:35] well_laid_lawn, No. It has install options. [08:35] kickingintender: try X nesting [08:35] Hi, how can i install, ubuntu with urdu language support !! i read from the interent, but some menus changed, but not the all pc. [08:36] p0pc0rn: so you are not running a live cd but have the option to install, is that right? [08:36] intok: what codec does your ftp download need to use? === andrew_ is now known as Guest64061 [08:36] i am using lucid. === Guest64061 is now known as Babel [08:36] well_laid_lawn, yes #3 [08:37] intok: if it's the same file it should play then maybe it gets corrupted. check the md5sum and see if the file is really the same value. [08:37] p0pc0rn: running of a usb stick ? [08:37] No. [08:37] k [08:37] In Ubuntu we trust. [08:37] lol [08:37] sacarlson various mp4 and wmv files that I know play on this Ubuntu install as a few where originally downloaded from here and moved there. [08:38] how x nesting....any command///////////////@ectospasm [08:38] i see how much you trust [08:38] p0pc0rn: I don't know how you got that on the boot menu then - might be quicker to reinstall - unless someone else has a clue [08:38] kickingintender: I think you had it with --xnest [08:38] intok: well compare the files with md5sum and rerun them both again [08:38] you need to do it within the first X session. [08:38] stevecam, what did you mean with that? [08:39] nsar, nothing [08:39] intok: and rerun I mean play them both again the local and ftped file. [08:39] ya that really doesnt work and reports a warning message that still not implemented [08:39] p0pc0rn: open the cd player just to check pls [08:39] I DID [08:39] k [08:40] hi abhinav [08:41] any body wants 2 share remote desktop with me [08:41] right now [08:41] sacarlson Well they are playing back fine on the old mac in VLC, it's got a GBit nic but only USB 1.1... [08:42] Hi, how can i install, ubuntu with urdu language support !! i read from the interent, but some menus changed, but not the all pc. using lucid !! [08:42] ectospasm: how long and how often are these i/o stalls resulting from ubuntu one? [08:42] riaz there is support for urdu for sure === ibrahim-kasem is now known as bero88 [08:42] intok: I don't support mac. you should md5sum the files on the ubuntu side and verify the play on the ubuntu side [08:43] thune3: I don't really know. Could be a few minutes when I'm heavily using my machine, could be several hours. === bero88 is now known as ibrahim-kasem [08:43] thune3: it seemed to be random, until I finally got a positive ID that the sync daemon was eating up I/O as shown in iotop [08:44] thune3: that just happened tonight [08:44] thune3: I'd been trying to track it down to *something* [08:44] kickingintender, i read this, but this is not working on lucid, some file that tutorial asking to make some changes in, that are not exist.

[08:46] wtf [08:46] How do I add a new machine to my Ubuntu One account? [08:46] not sure if this went through. is there a way to tell gdm or X to use vt12 as first X server instead of vt7 [08:47] !wtf | SliMM [08:47] SliMM: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [08:47] ectospasm: it seems to do an object rescan when it starts, but i don't know about periodically. you might look at the logs ~/.cache/ubuntuone/log/syndaemon.log and other files in that dir. [08:47] well_laid_lawn: My bad, sorry. [08:48] k [08:48] mmsh support ubuntu? [08:48] Still, I am not able to figure out how to add a machine to my Ubuntu One account... [08:50] Hi all. I have a bootable usb-drive that I want to clone, but the new drive is not the exact same size, so dd is not an option. I already tried copying all files but it will not boot. What can I do to make this work? [08:50] trijntje: Is it smaller? [08:50] trijntje: you have to write to the boot record of the new drive [08:51] SliMM, the new drive is smaller, but the old drive has free space [08:52] I have an external harddrive that was on a system that crashed so I never had a chance to unmount it. Now I'm trying to mount it in a new system and it's saying "Not Authorized". Could anyone please tell me how to mount it? [08:52] trijntje: is it at least 2 gig. or maybe just 1 gig for none persistant is big enuf? [08:52] trijntje: I guess you have to follow ectospasm's advice or shrink the partition to match the size of the smaller stick and dd === kt0sh_ is now known as Pepito [08:53] trijntje: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Booting_from_USB [08:53] ectospasm, what will that do to the partition and data on the new drive. Do I need to format it first and then write mbr? [08:53] sacarlson, its 4 GB [08:54] trijntje: follow the guide, then transfer your files over [08:54] I must say, this channel has become a lot more quiet since I last used Ubuntu [08:54] SliMM: you have to register now, that keeps the riff raff out [08:55] ectospasm, i'm reading the link now, thanks [08:55] ectospasm: Ah, yes [08:55] ectospasm: no you don't, #ubuntu isn't +r right now [08:55] rww: so they solved the spammer problem? [08:55] ectospasm: in that the spammers are not currently causing problems, yes [08:56] maybe the traffic hasn't been able to pick back up, since before IIRC a lot more people joined.

[09:28] sacarlson, so its no big disaster when things break [09:28] ? [09:28] pie_time, did you upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu? [09:29] Is it possible to disable udev to make my ubuntu laptop boot faster? [09:29] sometux: i'd leave udev alone [09:29] trijntje, not unless a new one just came out [09:29] Hermanon: weird like forward all trafic in port 12345 to out port 1234. I might have to think about this one.

[09:31] hey, anybody here that has experienc with nx machine ? im getting a weird error, it worked fine last time i used it [09:31] sacarlson: simply put, I'll use myserver:12345 on firefox on my windows machine as a socks5 proxy,and iptables will route it to the 1234 socks5 proxy [09:31] perlsyntax: no sound at all? [09:31] right [09:31] perlsyntax: just checking... more detail is better... [09:32] that all i know [09:32] pie_time, ok, so it has got nothing to do with grub/grub2 [09:32] pie_time, are there no directions on the tutorial/site you used to create your setup?

[09:41] Vbitz: well if you download an iso you will get a cd sized image... [09:41] yeah, it said it needed to update 3000 packages [09:42] can i do it using apt rather then update manager [09:42] update manager USES apt-get [09:42] mickster04,You know what i need to do? [09:42] i know that, but does it not switch the software sources [09:43] perlsyntax: no [09:43] Vbitz: thats one and the same [09:43] Vbitz: update manager uses apt-get (or aptitude, im not sure which if they are different) [09:43] does anyone?

I tried parcellite but it doesn't work and glipper doesn't work either (I can't find how to start it) [09:46] anyone that can help me with networking issues? Can only get (unstable) connection via dhclient eth0, network-manager (wired) no longer functions. 9.10 64b, recently updated with kernel 2.6.32-24 (from ubuntu repos) [09:46] running kubuntu? [09:47] Check your card speed and duplex settings [09:47] or rather what does network-manager say? [09:47] me, running strait ubuntu [09:47] can anyone tell me how to mount a drive that was unmounted improperly? [09:47] network-manager just fails to connect, it sees eth0 as being there [09:48] but dhclient finds it fine, though earlier it was unstable (so far it's been good though) [09:48] also, why do I have to login twice? [09:51] Hi. I upgraded from Ubuntu Jaunty to Lucid yesterday. Among other problems I could fix by now, suspend to ram no longer works: The screen is just locked, but the machine doesn't go down. Yet I found out that it is working if I induce suspend to ram by issuing the "pm-suspend" command as root. Can you help ? [09:52] /etc/network/interfaces says auth eth0 (NOT commented out), and then #iface eth0 inet dhcp... is that correct? [09:52] Baram: why are you using /etc/network/interfaces? === ayush is now known as ayushg === ayushg is now known as ayush [09:53] gnea I shouldn't be, but running out of ideas so looking for something that would conflict with network-manager [09:53] Baram: why? [09:53] Gnea: I thought everything in there should be commented out or blank [09:53] Gnea: Can only get (unstable) connection via dhclient eth0, network-manager (wired) no longer functions. 9.10 64b, recently updated with kernel 2.6.32-24 (from ubuntu repos) [09:54] Baram: you'll need to delete the lines, not comment them [09:54] Baram: and I recommend you install wicd [09:54] !info wicd [09:54] wicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager - metapackage. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.0+ds1-2 (lucid), package size 39 kB, installed size 88 kB [09:54] Gnea: Odd, I didn't put them in there in the first place [09:54] Gnea wicd requires removing network-manager, doesn't it? [09:54] Baram: this is my interfaces file: [09:54] auto lo [09:54] iface lo inet loopback [09:55] and a blank line below the last one [09:55] ok, deleted them, let me restart networking and see what happens... brb [09:55] that's all there needs to be [09:55] Baram: of course it does [09:55] wicd is a drop-in replacement for NM [09:55] what do you guys use as torrent program? [09:56] Gnea: That didn't do it...

I had wicd working for a bit on wifi but later I had problems with it when I was trying to go static. [09:57] # Appears as HUGH [09:57] sacarlson: I use dhcp, wired [09:57] sacarlson: just suddenly started having problems [09:57] pptfu, what? [09:58] Baram: ya I had similar problems so I disabled network-manager and now I'm at least stable. maybe just make a script to start. [09:59] Baram: or just use it to try to verify that your problem is caused by network-manager [10:00] hmm... [10:02] sacarlson: 99% sure it's network-manager, seeing as dhclient gets me online [10:02] Baram: sudo service network-manager stop; sudo dhclient eth0 might be something to try. [10:02] Gnea: Ok... installed wicd [10:02] Baram: ok, should be able to access it from the top panel bar, or like this: wicd-client -n [10:02] sacarlson: Already did that, which is how I'm online, was trying to figure out how to fix network-manager [10:03] How do i get my sound back on the computer [10:03] Gnea: I have it open and it seems to work... now how do I get it to show a tray icon? [10:03] i mean the sound button [10:03] it should be there already [10:03] if not, try logging out/logging in [10:03] Baram: well gnea's idea might be the next move with wicd. I only had luck with wifi with that. [10:03] Gnea: Will do, brb [10:04] what is the animation software in ubuntu(like flash)? [10:04] sacarlson, Baram: I've had great success with wired and wifi with wicd. the thing that sucks is that wicd is in Ubuntu is still 1.x, while the 2.0 is in development mode right now, 2.0 is going to have a lot more functionality and features. Looking forward to its release. [10:05] Gnea: That seems to have worked [10:05] awesome [10:05] yeah, I had to give it a kick-over on my netbook when I went wicd on there, it's worked just fine ever since [10:05] Gnea: Thanks [10:05] Baram: cheers [10:05] Baram: I've had great success with wired and wifi with wicd. the thing that sucks is that wicd is in Ubuntu is still 1.x, while the 2.0 is in development mode right now, 2.0 is going to have a lot more functionality and features. Looking forward to its release. [10:06] hi [10:07] Hi. After an upgrade to ubuntu lucid suspend-to-ram no longer works. Can you help ? [10:07] gnea: I think my problem is I try to manualy setup things in scripts or at the command line and network-manger conflics with those actions. [10:07] Hi.

[10:10] man i love how you all are glad to help [10:10] Gnea: I'm sure wicd would be the way to go on my laptop with wifi and moving from one net to anouther, but my desktop is just fixed static, no real need for a network manager. [10:10] ramnepal: it's a 3D modeller, it will output some animation, you might be able to get it to convert to flash using avidemux or just upload it to youtube [10:11] Ok [10:11] sacarlson, yes I have. But I'm not using hibernate (which writes all ram to the swap partition), but instead I'm using suspend-to-ram which just keeps ram powered up so that its contents are not lost. This worked very well on ubuntu jaunty and indeed it still works if I enter suspend as root by calling "pm-suspend". Yet it *no longer* works from gnome [10:11] is there any packeg can make avi file work? === bilalakhtar_ is now known as bilalakhtar [10:11] ramnepal: it's a very technical program though, and requires that you follow tutorials in order to get to know how to use it [10:11] wele, installed ubuntu-restricted-extras yet?

[10:13] bazhang: ok [10:13] hey all [10:13] doublestring: hey [10:14] is there any diffrent btween kubuntu and ubuntu? [10:14] sacarlson, I don't think so. On ubuntu suspend to ram works by sending a message to the dbus. And the UPower deamon is supposed to suspend the machine. It's all explained on the ubunu wiki here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOMEPowerManager [10:14] hey ramnepal [10:14] doublestring: i play 7 string [10:14] wele, kde and gnome [10:14] ramnepal, nice, been a while since I last saw one ;) [10:15] add-apt-repository: command not found//i get a problem ,how to solve? [10:15] sacarlson, I already tried to debug the situation by the tips given in the wiki. Yet so far no errors show up in the logs but the machine still doesn't go down [10:15] wele, just some of the applications and the DE, same software repositories though [10:15] DoubleString: what do u mean bt that?

[10:15] so different programs are made for them [10:16] wele: avidemux [10:16] why did bazhang ban ramnepal? [10:16] wele, no need for a video converter. just install ubuntu-restricted-extras [10:16] bazhang: ok ill try and give u a answer [10:17] sacarlson: this linksys AE1000 is pretty nice once it works... the driver's got a bunch of options that I haven't tried yet (like switching between 2.4ghz and 5ghz) [10:17] mne: try check every user group priv in System>administration>User groups>Advanced settings>User privliges> check every one of them for the user your play with.

[10:17] mne: if that doesn't work then I guess you will have to make a new group [10:18] I even tried to make a .deb of the driver for Ubuntu, but so far it only makes a .deb of the copyright and changelog files, so something isn't right [10:18] bazhang: woha its work, tanks alot [10:18] wele, welcome [10:18] Gnea: ya the new ralink driver has cool injections and other cool monitoring mods [10:18] bazhang: one more thing of u dont main [10:18] sacarlson, hmm, I'll try it [10:18] wele, ask [10:19] bazhang: every restart i got icon change postion is there any way to fix it or need to re install ubuntu [10:19] wele, icon for what [10:19] Hi I needed help with nagios, when I run the check_nt script, its not able to connect to the other machine [10:19] sacarlson: I've been so busy that I've just had time to get it up and running. have had a separate issue with it losing ipv6 connectivity, think I zeroed in on the problem and figured out what to do to fix it. got my fingers crossed right now. [10:20] bluetooth,wireless,language bar [10:20] wele, on the desktop? on the top panel? where? [10:20] top panel [10:20] wele, right click lock to panel? [10:20] can anyone tell me how to mount a drive that wasn't properly unmounted? [10:20] i already did [10:21] pie_time: you can't mount what's already mounted [10:21] and they stuck now on the middle [10:21] how i make them back to right side [10:21] sacarlson, the situation has not changed, the machine still doesn't go to sleep [10:21] Gnea: my ISP doesn't support ipv6, does yours? when I played with ipv6 it seemed slow since it forced going through a tunel to another slow service. [10:21] wele, then unlock and put where you want, then relock [10:21] Gnea, its mounted on another system that wont boot [10:21] cant move them [10:21] sacarlson: my school does, yes. when I use wicd, I get an ipv4 and ipv6 address assignments [10:22] if I use apt-get source then wil I get latest source? Or should I use svn? [10:22] pie_time: and it's refusing to umount? [10:22] for bluetooth and wireless there is no move option [10:22] Gnea, what's umount? [10:22] gnea: I created a total ipv6 local network that just translated all address to ipv4 that worked for ubuntu but I couldn't get window 7 to support it. so my customers didn't like it. [10:22] pie_time: the commandline program to unmount something [10:23] sacarlson: cisco wifi routers ftw [10:23] ist kind of bug? [10:23] Gnea, i dont know the name of the device to umount it, but i can see it in nautilus. [10:23] which is better apt-get source or svn? [10:23] gnea: ftw? [10:23] wele [10:23] yes [10:23] it's the indication app [10:23] sacarlson: for the win [10:23] so it's connected [10:23] w/ clock [10:24] pie_time: can you open a terminal?

I wanted total ipv6. [10:25] or do they not functionate? [10:25] DoubleString: every restart the icon postion change place [10:25] now they are not [10:26] Gnea, like i mentioned, it never unmounted from the previous system so it will not mount in this system [10:26] I don't know, this might be a bug [10:26] sacarlson: I'm not sure that windows is ready to let go of ipv4 [10:26] Hi all.

[10:28] ph_, could you use pastebin/ [10:28] I just made many long over due ubuntu updates and restarted my system. I have a Full Disk Encryption LUKS encrypted disk that wouldn't boot upon restart and instead brought me to some basic install/rescue screen. There were 2 other drives, one flash usb and one large external usb drive, attached to the computer when I restarted it that also wouldn't mount when I tried to plug them into another ubuntu system. The error message they gave wh [10:28] en my system tryed to auto mount them was, eg, "Unable to mount 2.0 GB Filesystem", "Unauthorized". Could anyone please help save my system?

Apple didn't have to do a thing, since BSD took care of it all for them. [10:29] lunavorax, what version are you using? [10:29] eltew, 10.04 [10:30] pie_time told you guys don't bother with FDE just encrypt one users /home/account. you guys create problems for yourself. [10:30] encrypting just /home/account is not enough. [10:30] What's more realiable: free or htop? [10:31] FastReading: free [10:31] neither should be wrong [10:31] sacarlson: There's nothing wrong with FDE. [10:31] Gnea, are you able to help? [10:31] Gnea: thanks, I had read the opposite [10:31] lunavorax, do the following: System → Preferences → Keyboard [10:31] then select the Mouse Keys tab [10:31] that will allow you to use your mouse with your keyboard. [10:31] FullFlannelJacke: well fix pie_time problem then if nothing is wrong with it.

[10:34] Gnea, no [10:34] Gnea, im saying they also had mount problems [10:34] gogeta: so what is pie_time or me going to do with this secure bit? [10:34] pie_time: so unplug them from the bricked system, and plug them into a system you know works correctly. [10:35] Gnea, i have one of the drives plugged into my working system right now [10:35] and it says "Unauthorized" [10:35] pie_time: flash or hdd? [10:35] sacarlson: shred's usage is somewhat a hassle, you can install secure-delete [10:35] flash [10:35] sacarlson: i bet the program you said is just a frontend for shred [10:35] pie_time: okay, unplug it. [10:35] ok [10:35] now plug it in [10:35] yeah same message [10:35] do you get an icon on the desktop? [10:35] no [10:36] hrm [10:36] gogeta no tripwire is a detection program that auto checks for md5sum changes in system files to make sure no one or thing has changed any programs or config files in you system.

[10:36] hello [10:36] I added a script of mine to the nautilus open with menu of images. Now opening them with my script from nautilus works [10:36] but for some reason it won't go into f-spot's open with menu, how do I add apps to that? [10:37] sacarlson: ah [10:37] gogeta: the data it uses to check with is fully encrypted to make sure no one can change it [10:38] Gnea, is there another way? [10:38] Hi, I wish to migrate from having ubunto installed on a local PC to a VM on VMware ESXi. What should I install: ubuntu or ubunto server?

Mostly I need to understand two concepts otherwhise I will not be able to plan. 1) once I installed ubunto on my server how do I access it from my window PC? What software will I use to use it? [10:44] sacarlson: instead? they're two very different things, neither replaces the other [10:44] any of you guys played with unfs3? I'm trying to get my machines to mount nfs share but no matter how I edit /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} along with restarting networking it fails to mount because of denied permission [10:44] SAngeli: thers lots of ways ftp ssh vnc [10:44] SAngeli: samba nfs etc etc [10:45] psycho_oreos: did you mean unfs3? [10:45] cast, yes [10:45] I wonder why my dell notebook touchpad isn't as responsive as in Windows, and if there a way to optimize it in ubuntu? [10:46] SAngeli: if you whant command lince acess putty for windows if you whant gui acees tightvnc or real vnc [10:46] psycho_oreos: ahh. dunno. i've only used nfs [in kernel space] [10:46] Bonjour [10:46] cast, in theory it shouldn't be any different shouldn't it? I mean apart from the way both of which are called, I think its an issue with portmapper, I've got it working with sshd but just not with unfs3 [10:46] gogeta, I did not properly explain. Here anothe way: what is the exact equivalent of what I do when I install ubuntu on a PC, I turn it on and have my ubuntu running with GNOME GUI interface and do all my stuff through GUI not command line? [10:46] !fr | goldfish [10:46] goldfish: 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. [10:47] ok [10:47] I installed Ubuntu with a usb memory and grub was installed on the usb memory, not the hard drive, so now I need to have the usb drive plugged in in order to start the laptop. How do I put grub on the hard drive? I'm guessing it should be in the unencrypted /boot partition (doing full disk encryption here)? [10:47] SAngeli: then you will whant a vnc client for windows to acess the gui [10:47] SAngeli: i listed 2 [10:47] gogeta, when I installed ubuntu (which I do not know if server or desktop version) what do I need to acchieve the same things from my Windows PC? [10:47] cast: well with my very limited ability and skills It would be much easier for me to maintain a secure system with tripwire system combined with an encrypted /home/useraccount over a fully encrypted disk method. [10:47] I am able to compile my kernel with nvidia graphic driver ver 173 but not 180 and up. Why is that? [10:47] gogeta, can I use RDP, from windows? [10:48] sacarlson: what are you protecting about? [10:48] sacarlson: what are you protecting against? [10:48] SAngeli: vnc is the same as rdp [10:48] sacarlson: first one was a typo :( [10:48] cast: that's another good point nothing. [10:48] I have big problems right now, I buy a nvidia 240gts yesterday and had now put it in the computer and it's works great before i installed the propitary drivers. when i had compiz on and move a windows it's lagg little and when i tried to start the computer before it give me a error that the drives had problems and i need to reboot, now it's works but the window problems is still her, when i buy a nvidia card i think it would better then m [10:48] y ati but i had wrong, heeeeeelp [10:48] SAngel, when you install Ubuntu enable VNC and install a VNC client on your... windowz box... =) [10:49] ye i said that [10:49] I'm currently attempting to upgrade my server distro install from 9.04 to 9.10 using update manager, and the installation appears to have stalled. This is the most recent output: http://pastebin.com/UG5vKiY4 Would it be safe to kill the process and restart it? How can I see more information about what's going on? From ps it appears to be a python script [10:49] gogeta, ok. Great. Now, is it better to install the server version of ubuntu or just the standard ubunto desktop edition? [10:49] SAngeli: or applications / internet / remote desktop viewer [10:49] sacarlson: the problem with encrypting just /home/user is that user's data will leak into /tmp and /var [/var/tmp, also updatedb and many other things], [10:49] SAngeli: being you whant the gui desktop [10:49] dreaman [10:49] gogeta, but did you say windowz" [10:50] djo__ кажи [10:50] sacarlson: /etc often also contains confidential information, like VPN passwords, the users password hashes, passwords in plaintext for the likes of ppp [10:50] :) [10:50] !ru | Dreaman [10:50] Dreaman: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [10:50] :) [10:50] bazhang bulgarian :) [10:50] ae 4eki 4e nemoa da opraq taq programa [10:50] pak gledam v drugiq 4at v saita si horutuate za neq [10:50] gogeta, I did not get your answer.

[10:51] ooo ok ty :) [10:54] .quit [10:54] we should start suggesting google translate lol [10:55] How I can make gnome terminal remember its last position and size when i open it? [10:55] sacarlson, I think I found out why it isn't working: The system doesn't go down to sleep with pm-suspend either. I had a look at /var/log/pm-suspend.log and found out that pm-suspend tries to call a script that no longer exists: "/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/95ups-monitor suspend suspend:invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/ups-monitor not found." So why does it try to call a script that no longer exsts anywhere ? [10:56] mne: I thought you said it worked in root. [10:57] * france1159 says hello to everyone [10:57] mne: ups-monitor is for uninteruptable powersupply monitor why do you need that for suspend? [10:57] sacarlson, yes it did yesterday ;) But then I removed ups-monitor and now it still tries to call the init script that is no longer there [10:57] Is there a way to make gnome terminal remember it's last size and position? [10:58] mne: so what do you need a dummy ups-monitor script just to make it run? [10:58] sacarlson, the script existed in /etc/pm/sleep.d as my old UPS used the serial port for communication which did not work correctly after waking up from suspend. The script solved the problem by restarting the ups-monitor [10:59] sacarlson: pass the --geometry option ? [10:59] erUSUL: I'm not sure I know what a --geometry option is? [10:59] sacarlson, I suppose that would work. But I'm still puzzled why pm-suspend tries to call a script that no longer exists. I also did a 'grep -Rin "ups-monitor" /etc/*" but found nothing [11:00] sometux: let me know if you find out how [11:00] qwd, are you kidding? [11:00] sacarlson: --geometry 300x150+0+0 ( the +0 +0 ptions are the ones that place the window they start counting from the up left corner ) [11:00] sometux: why would I be kidding? [11:01] erUSUL: oh you talking to sometux: --geometry ? [11:01] sometux: e16 does that, i'd have thought any decent window manager could ;) [11:01] hello everyone [11:01] cast, I guess you face the same problem, right?

From ps it appears to be a python script. [11:01] question: I'm configuring my /etc/network/interfaces via cmd the first time, eth0 is properly configured from the install, now I added a second adapter. is "auto eth1" + address line + netmask enough? or do I have to set a gw? [11:02] sacarlson: ooops sorry [11:02] sometux: nah, i use e16, i just right click and go remember position+size [11:02] sometux: --geometry 300x150+0+0 ( the +0 +0 ptions are the ones that place the window they start counting from the up left corner ) [11:02] sometux: did you get that what erUSUL sent that's what you want. [11:02] cast, even icewm that I used in the past did [11:02] sappel: depends on your network setup, if its just one switch you won't need the gateway entry [11:03] sappel: if it's going to be routing to say the internet you will though [11:03] then it should be fine, thanks [11:03] no, the second is a intranet lan, the eth0 is the internet (with gw set) [11:03] sappel: if you don't have the gateway entry it just means you can't escape your subnet [11:03] what do I need to compile and install an app from the source files?

[11:04] elitexray: yes [11:05] elitexray:potentially, but good luck [11:05] sometux: then you will have to find if your window manager supports that [11:05] madfox: why would there be any problem with that?!

[12:27] hi [12:28] xiaotao, hi [12:28] Hamled: how did you upgrade? What repositories other than the official ones were you using? Exactly what upstart commands fail? Did they work before the upgrade? [12:28] Esat: how are you trying? Why do you want to? [12:28] jrib: i want to translate this files to my language [12:29] Esat: I believe you work with .po files [12:30] Esat: correct you need the *.po file. maybe it will be easier for you tu use the web based translation tools of ubuntu ? [12:30] erUSUL: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Rosetta and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations will probably be helpful [12:30] oops [12:30] jrib, I upgraded with update-manager. I was at first on 8.10, and I upgraded to 9.04 and then from 9.04 to 9.10. Both of those succeeded with minor hiccups (first time I tried to 3-way merge smb.conf and that failed, but reconfiguring with a different option worked, the second time bind9 failed because it hung trying to get a socket on startup, again the reconfiguration worked). Since libc6 was updated both of those times and it used th [12:30] Esat: those links were for you. Also, if there's a translation team setup for your language, get in touch with them [12:31] Hamled: your message was truncated at "it used th" [12:31] it used the same start/status/restart commands (all of which give the same error), I must assume they worked before [12:31] I did not restart my machine between those upgrades, as I am not currently at the machine and was kind of (probably stupidly) hoping that it wouldn't be a problem if I only restarted after the final upgrade [12:32] Hamled: have you tried restarting dbus ? [12:32] yes [12:32] I killed the dbus-daemon and reran dbus-daemon --system [12:32] (I did it taht way because the init scripts aren't working) [12:33] Hamled: "sudo restart dbus" [12:33] yo [12:33] i've used nautilus to search for documents of a certain name, can i somehow search the text contained in each of the many found items for a certain string of text? [12:34] Hamled: apt-cache policy dbus (what version is installed?) [12:34] that just stalls, as with the other commands. Now that I think of it, the Name not found error was probably due to me attempting to run it with user privileges, so my bad on that. But when I run any of those commands with sudo they just wait infinitely [12:35] laeg: I don't know how to do that in nautilus but from the command line you can use the grep function to search for strings inside files [12:36] 1.2.16-0ubuntu9 is installed and 1.2.16-2ubuntu4 is the candidate [12:36] #ubuntu [12:36] laeg: example grep "thisstring" *.txt will search for "thisstring" in all *.txt files [12:36] sacarlson: there are over a hundred files of the same name, scattered in different places, can i use to to search all documents name PowerAuras.lua for the string rupture? [12:36] ok [12:36] so grep "rupture" PowerAuras.lua? [12:37] sacarlson: [12:37] Hamled: so the issue now is that with sudo, the stop start and status commands just hang? I assume the same is true of 'sudo service WHATEVER start'? [12:38] yes, it seems that way [12:38] Hamled: what service are you using to test? [12:38] why i got this message while updating,.......

What have I done and how can I fix it? :P [13:03] oskarkv: try alt-f2 and run 'metacity --replace' see if they come back [13:03] ok [13:03] sacarlson, the more you learn the more you reallize you are dumb :-) [13:04] I am looking for help with the Empathy IM client. [13:04] sometux: it looks like "/dev/mapper/home_vg-home /home ext4 defaults 0 2". So, system loads, but without this raid10 [13:04] It records all of my conversations. There appears to be no way to stop it from doing this. [13:05] Yes they did, thanks Dr_Willis [13:05] oskarkv: you removed/broke the nvidia drivers so compiz is failing to start - thats my bet.

[13:10] hello [13:10] I'm experiencing quite choppy Flash playback in Ubuntu 10.04. Is there anything I can do to resolve this? I've installed ubuntu-restricted-extras. [13:10] hello (anyway lets's not flood the channel with to many of these) [13:10] heys!! need help i have sendmail, where i can get Pop3 ? [13:11] tew88: try another browser I guess [13:11] tew88: I mean Firefox is great, but Flash won't always work properly in it in Ubuntu [13:12] sebsebseb: I've tried with FF and Chrome. Same problem. This leads me to believe it's more fundamental. [13:12] Someone please help me..... [13:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/484935/ [13:12] 'Flash won't always work properly' :) is a more accurate statment i think. :) [13:12] got this [13:12] while updating. [13:12] tew88: Was that Chrome or Chromeium? [13:12] Chromeium. [13:12] I wanna know that why every time when I make some settings, i always need to reboot my system, I heard that linux doesn't need to restart,is that true? [13:13] "In Empathys settings"... how? I have looked and found nothing that allows me to delete or better, disable logging of conversations. [13:13] rabbit_kan: what settings? Ive rarely needed to reboot for any settings that i can think of. [13:13] twmi: Now I don't like Chrome much, but if you get the closed source one from Google yep Chrome they have Flash built in. However first I would recommend trying browsers such as, Arora, Epiphany, Galeon, and Konqueror. [13:14] kad_, sendmail is MTA which handles sending and receiving email only, for pop3 you need another software [13:14] sometux, aha thx, can you tell me any known pop3 daemon on ubuntu [13:14] sometux: i looked into dmesg and saw interesting rows: "raid1: md1 is not clean -- starting background reconstruction", raid10: md2 is not clean -- starting background reconstruction", and last rows are "md2: resync done" [13:14] how are you all directing replies @ each other? What's all this: [13:14] username: "post body" business? [13:14] !mailserver [13:14] Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds. You can install a basic email handling configuration with the "Mail server" task during installation, or with the "tasksel" command. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html [13:14] tew88: see above, I high lighted wrong person [13:15] !tab | LinuxNewbie [13:15] LinuxNewbie: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [13:15] sometux: so, md1 = system raid1, md2 = home raid 10; i can't get, why it's resyncing ? [13:16] sometux: does it mean, that i've done incorrect installation somewhere ? [13:16] Dr_willis:some software,for example fcitx,is there anyway to replace the restart way to let my setting be useful right away? [13:16] tew88: you can play with gpu detection override, for my underpowered graphics system the results were mixed. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/fixing-fullscreen-flash-in-ubuntu-1004.html [13:16] rabbit_kan: services can be restarted via the 'sudo service SERVICENAME restart' command [13:16] kad_, postfix [13:17] rabbit_kan: no idea what fcitx is. [13:17] ubottu: I see what you mean. I assumed highlighting the nickname in right side panel would direct the typed messages at the highlighted person. Thanks. [13:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:17] LinuxNewbie: :) [13:17] LinuxNewbie: uhmm [13:17] sometux: and now last rows are : "md1: resync done". So, it showed that both raids successfully resynced [13:17] Thats alwyas funny. [13:17] sometux, thx [13:17] LinuxNewbie: quite a lot of new users do that, message the bot, its a computer program, not a person [13:17] Dr_Willis: When they message the bot you mean? [13:17] sebsebseb: yep :) [13:18] ubottu is also female apparently [13:18] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:18] !gender [13:18] yes, I can confirm I am a female bot :) [13:18] sebsebseb, thune3: Thank you. [13:18] a 'FemBot' [13:18] Dr_willis: is any software have a service name? [13:18] sebsebseb: That was funny. You know your noob when you send a message in response to a programmed message. :-! [13:19] rabbit_kan: Services are services... not sure what you mean. see whats in /etc/init or /etc/init.d/ to determine what services you have installed. [13:19] I am experiencing strange colors on video playback in 10.04 with both Movie Player and VLC. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4669371/strange-color.png [13:19] kad_, sorry postfix is another mta, try dovecot [13:19] sebsebseb: Do you have or are using Empathy? I would very much like to disable the logging of everything I view and type in this program. [13:19] LinuxNewbie: I have been using Empathy a bit recently, for Facebook chat [13:19] LinuxNewbie: if you are using empathy for just irc.. you may want to get a differnt/better irc client. [13:20] LinuxNewbie: normally I would do that in Pidgin, but I had a little issue with that on my current non Ubuntu distro [13:20] LinuxNewbie: logs can be useful, and most people will have a personal log of them being on IRC [13:20] sometux, thx =) [13:20] LinuxNewbie: there are even logs of this channel public logs [13:20] !logs | LinuxNewbie [13:20] LinuxNewbie: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [13:21] !logs [13:21] :) [13:21] We can grep the logs and get a top 10 asked question summary. [13:21] LinuxNewbie: Why do you want to disable logs? [13:21] That would be an interesting bit of codeing for a program to automate that. [13:21] i have raid 10, that "was not ready" while booting. Now i see in dmesg row "md2: resync done", so how can i load it manually ? [13:22] sebsebseb: There's so little digital privacy, if any, in developed countries that I don't need my own computer to be logging everything I do. [13:22] LinuxNewbie: ok [13:22] LinuxNewbie: What are you using Empathy for? [13:22] sebsebseb: Replacement of Bill Gates chat IM. [13:22] LinuxNewbie: oh for MSN uhmm [13:23] discozohan, I'm not sure but i think you have to use /dev/md2 in your fstab [13:23] LinuxNewbie: Empathy will be alright for that, but there are better programs for that sucky chat network as well [13:23] LinuxNewbie: Such as Emesene, AMSN, and Kmess [13:24] sebsebseb: I would drop my MSN account altogether but that would mean phoning around everyone telling them I have a new account. Empathy is pre-installed so I thought I would try that first. [13:24] sebsebseb: Guess I will use something called "Pidgin". Hope that doesn't log everything as well? [13:25] LinuxNewbie: uhmm [13:25] sometux: ok, but i have last question: why ubuntu can't make normal installation ? Why have they included raid10, if it can't normally load ? I am confused [13:25] LinuxNewbie: just looked at Empathy and I can't seem to find the thing for logs [13:25] LinuxNewbie: Pidgin is nice, and it does log, but you can turn that off easilley [13:25] LinuxNewbie: maybe there isn't something in Empathy to turn off logs hrm [13:26] sebsebseb: It raises the question. Why log everything the user does and not warn them or let them turn it off? Not a good move on part of the developers. [13:26] LinuxNewbie: if you don't want the logs and cannot find the option to disable them, you can do the following: wipe the directory the program creates in your /home folder. It's normally the application's name preceded by a dot [13:26] Is there any gnome integration available for easy stroke? Like an applet? [13:26] LinuxNewbie: definitely a bad move, the same happens with skype and msn if I am not mistaken [13:26] (I am thinking about writing it, want to make sure it doesn't exist) [13:27] FastReading: you can disable logging in msn [13:27] LinuxNewbie: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=952864 [13:27] sebsebseb: You can turn off the logging in MSN, surprisingly. [13:27] dmex01: I know, I was answering to LinuxNewbie, who said that having logs enabled by default was a bad move [13:28] LinuxNewbie: you can with Empathy some how as well I expect, and the other programs that were just mentioned, you can there quite easilely [13:28] discozohan, try and tell me what you get [13:28] Hello all just got a quick general uninstal. After I have uninstalled Ubuntu "don't worry I'll be installing it on VMware aftewards" will the partition on my harddrive restore it's self or do I need to do this manually? [13:28] LinuxNewbie: nonetheless, with msn , even when logging is disabled, contact list info is logged to the directory [13:28] trueflu: how are you 'uninstalling' ubuntu ? [13:29] LinuxNewbie: at least with linux's msn clone --> aMSN [13:29] LinuxNewbie: see my pm, I told you something about Pidgin [13:29] Putting it on "VWware" as a virtual machine [13:29] trueflu: if you just delete the parittion, you will need to remake/reformat it for whatever fileysstem you want on it. [13:29] trueflu: that made no sence to me.. 'putting it on vmware....' [13:29] sebsebseb: PM? === claw_ is now known as claw [13:29] I'm trxing to untar the file tar xvfj compat-wireless.tar.bz2 but instead I get error: bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file. [13:29] tar: Child returned status 2 [13:30] tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors [13:30] LinuxNewbie: private message [13:30] sometux: there is a little problem - i don't really know how can i use md2 in fstab. Should l just replace "/dev/mapper/home_vg-home" with "/dev/md2" ? [13:30] frojnd: f should be the last option [13:31] frojnd: im lazy and always use 'unp' these days [13:31] sebsebseb: Thanks for the help. Basically Empathy doesn't let the user disable the logging so I have to either periodically wipe the log storage directory or use "Pidgin". [13:31] hi [13:31] frojnd: but if for some reason your tar cant do bz2, bzcat compat-wireless.tar.bz2|tar xv will work too [13:31] how do I start an app using the terminal? [13:31] Connection reset by peer [13:31] Thanks Dr. Willis. Will this mean that if I wish to restore the storage space from the old partition to the larger partition I'd have to reformat both partitions? [13:31] SSL_write:: bad write retry [13:31] Joeyx: you type its name and push enter. [13:31] discozohan, exactly [13:31] thats all? [13:32] Dr_Willis: cast thanx [13:32] LinuxNewbie: Pidgin is good, but, well see the pm for the but, altough I could have realy said it in here, but I don't want loads of people to think Pidgin is a bad programs as a result, because its not. [13:32] ok thanks [13:32] LinuxNewbie: is the log storage limited to /home temp directories or is there also at /tmp as well? [13:32] Joeyx: yeah. try typing "firefox" etc... [13:32] jribas, thanks for all of the help! I was able to downgrade libc-bin and libc6 and after restarting the upgrade worked fine [13:32] frojnd: I am not sure why tar would try to read from standard input unless you tried to pipe into it or had a stray '-' in your command line [13:34] FastReading: I don't know, I don't understand the linux file structuring system. [13:34] FastReading: (yet) [13:34] LinuxNewbie: Empathy is a new program, it does more than Pidgin and what not, but I guess its not as user friendly [13:35] LinuxNewbie: in the home folder are hidden .folders with program user data, for Linux distros, and thats what FastReading is on about [13:35] LinuxNewbie: well .empathy or for pidign .purple [13:35] sebsebseb: Understatement, it doesn't let me stop logging of my conversations. [13:35] sebsebseb: Also, can you elaborate when you mentioned something about storing passwords in an insecure way? [13:35] LinuxNewbie: ok you did see that then :) [13:36] It was under the logged stuff. [13:36] hi sebsebseb [13:36] Could You tell me how to install Cowpatty?

[13:37] sometux: so now it's the same, but i don't see any messages in dmesg about "resyncing". There are rows "raid10: raid set md2 active with 4 out of 4 devices", "md2: detected capacity change from 0 to 1000213446656", " md2: p1". Thats all [13:38] FUCK YOU [13:38] JUST FUCK OFF PLEASE [13:38] !ops | seekalana [13:38] sebsebseb: in order to know exactly where empathy stores all the data, it would probably be good to trace its system calls. The application can be run with "strace" and the system calls stored to a file, then the file can be filtered piping its output with "grep", so that only lines with "O_WR", "RDWR", "mkdir", "rename",etc. are listed, that would probably give the most accurate information about all the places it is storing data [13:38] seekalana: Help!

[13:38] PLZ [13:38] OMFG [13:38] bye [13:38] sometux: so, as i think there was a resyncing before cause of first load of the system, it seems it is default behaviour [13:38] sebsebseb: Has someone filed a bug report to the developers, so they can fix it in the next release? [13:39] LinuxNewbie: you mean the password thing? [13:39] sebsebseb: Yes [13:39] seekalana whats up dude ..! [13:39] discozohan, lets try to mount the raid manually [13:39] LinuxNewbie: someone I know online, if I remember correctly made a fix, but was never excepted by them in that case, or maybe he didn't even submit it === XLV_ is now known as XLV [13:39] Is Cowpatty avaliable in APT repository? [13:40] discozohan, use this commadn: sudo mount /dev/md2 -t ext4 [13:40] LinuxNewbie: well you can still use the program, without saving your password, if your concerned about that [13:40] sebsebseb: Do you use "Evolution" email client?

Tried removing network-manager and using wicd, seemed to work but connection lost 1.5 hours later an unable to recover. [13:42] sebsebseb: I don't understand any of the setup requirements. It asks for all manner of technical details such as "POP" and "IMAP" servers etc. [13:42] sebsebseb: I am sure I have set it up incorrectly. I want to receive the emails sent to my hotmail account and display them in the client instead of through the web browser at "http://www.login.live.com".

How do you think, was it correct to define 4 active devices and 0 spare devices for raid10 ? May be problem about it ?

However your user settings will be in /home which you can move to a seperate partition. I have never done that myself after doing an install, I would set one up before I install a Linux distro. However doing it afterwoulds with Ubuntu probably isn't that difficult. [13:49] [13:49] !home | LinuxNewbie [13:49] LinuxNewbie: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [13:49] and its taking some time .. [13:49] sometux: oh, i got it, thanks. Raid was created this way: created partitions on all 4 drives, installed raid10, then installed lvm, created volume group and one volume label called "home". Then defined mount point to "/home" and filesystem as "ext4". This way was created raid1, that works correctly ( except on raid1 were also swap partitions ) [13:50] !backup | LinuxNewbie [13:50] LinuxNewbie: There are many ways to back your system up.

[13:58] i cant mount a cd while a wine setup is running [13:58] TiK: I do not know what is ppa [13:58] perlsyntax, do you have more than 1 sound card, including any built-in [13:58] alp: PPAs are like repos... [13:58] mount does not throw any errors but the device is empty and ls says input/output error [13:58] !ppa | alp [13:58] alp: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[14:00] alp: 7.10? [14:00] firstgearone: if grub and fstab are set to recognize the drive by UUID and it is not the drive set to boot from bios, it's port location won't matter [14:00] alp: ppa's are reasonably new I think [14:00] ? [14:00] alp: or not [14:00] sebsebseb: most probably. but 10.04 do not have those repos [14:00] alp: however its more recently that they are becoming rather popualr [14:00] firstgearone: recognize the partitions, i mean [14:00] launchpad has a list of latest-active ppa's but not the gratest ones maybe. [14:00] alp: a ppa repo, you would add yourself [14:00] which ones do you use? [14:01] thune3: thanks [14:01] zzzed? [14:01] alp: personalley I never was a fan of this whole ppa thing, that Ubuntu does [14:01] alp: in fact I think ppa's are a bit of a joke [14:02] sebsebseb: where is the greatest ubuntu repo that I can trust? [14:02] alp: plus like the bot warning said, you need to be careful with them, because they can mess stuff up sometimes [14:02] perlsyntax, do lspci and paste output [14:02] alp: there probably isn't really one, but medibuntu can be trusted for example [14:02] sebsebseb: ppas kick ass [14:02] sebsebseb: I think flex bison are core packages. where can I find them? [14:03] where do i paste it? [14:03] they were in default repos a few yrs ago [14:03] I remember that.

[14:13] sebsebseb: hmm [14:13] alp: your first KDE program that you install, will want to put on quite a bit of other KDE stuff, but I think it would only take up about 500MB actsaully [14:14] it is install [14:14] * sebsebseb mixing Gnome with some KDE apps since 2004/5 [14:14] sebsebseb: I know. but I have a different question btw. my mouse does not start to move immediately. it stays in its place for a while (half sec) and moves later. is that normal?

[14:15] what i should do ?? http://paste.ubuntu.com/484955/ [14:15] Anything that I could do? [14:15] i check the bios and didn't see a sound card [14:15] Akaruz: first of all you have a lot of external repo's in there, [14:15] alp: A lap top or? [14:15] perlsyntax, ok [14:16] zzzed,How can i tell if i do. [14:16] ikonia so what should i do ? [14:16] sebsebseb: laptop, using touchpad [14:16] !tochpad | alp [14:16] Akaruz: the repos that are failing are all external one [14:16] !touchpad | alp [14:16] alp: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [14:16] Akaruz: stop using external/untrusted repos [14:16] how can I disable weechat to resize the terminal when I start it? [14:16] thanks [14:16] Akaruz: or contact them to resolve the issues with their repos [14:17] ikonia how to stop ? [14:17] hi,all,does anyone has a new driver for the wifi on Epc? [14:17] alp: Can't really help much with the mouse. As for Gnome and KDE really neither is anywhere near perfect, so its good to pick apps from them, and use what you want to use, in either desktop environment. [14:17] Akaruz: remove them from your software sources, but depending on what they have updated, that may now be impossible [14:18] perlsyntax, 1st off, check if you have any jacks from the motherboard, 2nd check bios for audio devices [14:18] ikonia im now in Software Sources.. which one i must delete ? [14:18] Akaruz: the external ones which are failing [14:18] i check that and be back [14:19] sebsebseb: solved. most probably "stop touchpad while typing" was enabled. so you say it is not a big deal to install kde programs and it wont slow down much. [14:19] !away [14:19] You should avoid noisy away messages and -nicks in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [14:19] my epc always goes too slow by wifi.... I thought it might be a problem with the driver of the Ubuntu10.04 [14:19] ikonia im now in Other Softwares section and there i didn't find failed links.... [14:19] alp: How much RAM you got? How big is your partition? [14:19] it is hard to have minimize-close buttons on the left. can we move them to the right? [14:19] alp: and yeah useually mixing apps, go fine [14:19] goes fine [14:19] Akaruz: the failing repos are the ones erroring in your paste and the ones that are not official ubuntu repos [14:19] i just did a line of oxycontin, no issues anymore [14:20] !controls | alp [14:20] alp: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side [14:20] sebsebseb: 3gb+700mb swap, 15gp partition [14:20] thanks, do you know any good software for converting between video formats? [14:20] ikonia so u have any idea how to delete that links.. [14:20] alp: well things will go rather fine indeed then [14:20] !ot > rastmust [14:20] rastmust, please see my private message [14:20] Akaruz: I've told you how to delete them [14:20] im preparating a new one [14:20] ikonia im in Software Sources.... so what should i do there? [14:20] When is the big update coming? [14:21] noob_: depends what formats you need to convert, but there's handbrake and winff [14:21] alp: Want some quick app suggestions? [14:21] Akaruz: remove/uncheck the non-official repos that are failing [14:21] that made me happy [14:21] ikonia how can i notice that they're official or not? [14:21] Guys, are any of you familiar with RAID configurations under Linux? [14:21] rastmust, stop that [14:22] My RAID configuration is recognised and everything, but when trying to access it, I am told that it cannot be mounted. Why? [14:22] Akaruz: you added them - the ones which are not the official ubuntu repos [14:22] sebsebseb: yes please [14:22] fruitbag`: hardware/software/fake raid, which one [14:22] fruitbag`: so mount /dev/md0 /mnt/tmp/ fails with what error? [14:22] ikonia i didn't add anything.. relly [14:22] you did [14:22] Akaruz: you added PPA's and external repos [14:23] cast: the RAID shows up [14:23] alp: Log in screen: KDM IRC Konversation DVD burning and you could do CD's as well with that. K3B [14:23] When double clicking on it, I am prompted by: "File cannot be mounted." [14:23] Or something along the same lines. [14:23] ikonia sec ill show u screenshot [14:23] sebsebseb: used another linux distros before. but it seems ubuntu has changed a little bit. [14:23] Akaruz: I don't need a screenshot [14:23] alp: and if you want to try an alternative to the nautilus file manager, give Konqueror which is also a nice browser, and Dolphin a try [14:23] I know k3b it is a KDE program eh? [14:23] alp: yes those are KDE programs [14:23] I know Dolphin too. [14:23] hey everybody [14:23] alp: all of them [14:23] ikonia i just show u software sources.. u can notice there which one is not official [14:24] Akaruz: I don't need a screen shot [14:24] sebsebseb: nautilius is better IMHO. [14:24] Any thoughts, guys? [14:24] Akaruz: the ones in your pastebin that are FAILING, are unofficial [14:24] is there a yakuake alternative for ubuntu? [14:24] ikonia yes i understand that exactly but that links aren't in Software Sources..... [14:24] alp: and programs I would personally use, every now and again, when doing Gnome, in fact Konversation is one of my most used apps. [14:24] how can i create ISO image of DVD in ubuntu? [14:24] Akaruz: then remove them from /etc/apt [14:25] alp: and I recommend KDM intead of GDM, since that looks nicer with Ubuntu [14:25] Any thoughts here on my RAID0 configuration? [14:25] ikonia sec ill try it now [14:25] Why am I unable to mount it? [14:25] sebsebseb: what is gdm [14:25] fruitbag`: is it software/hardware or fakeraid [14:25] alp: Gnome Display Manager the log in screen [14:25] I'm not certain [14:25] fruitbag`: what controller does it sit on [14:25] sebsebseb: I do not care login screen too much. I just enter my password. [14:26] Since no controller is being used, it's software [14:26] alp: ok :) [14:26] Two SATA hard drives [14:26] fruitbag`: did you configure the raid using a "bios" [14:26] No [14:26] !away > zzzed [14:26] I just connected them [14:26] !away > zzzed_ [14:26] zzzed_, please see my private message [14:26] fruitbag`: how did you create the array [14:26] ikonia sources.list? delete from there? [14:26] Akaruz: yes [14:26] can some one help me create iso image of DVD [14:26] Ubuntu automatically recognised the array [14:26] fruitbag`: no - how did you create the array [14:26] blackdoggy, k9copy or handbrake [14:27] ikonia: I do not know how to reply to that question [14:27] cheers bazhang [14:27] Hi, I am trying to get my metamodes for twinview set up correctly but I am not having much luck. I have a GTX 470 and plugged into it I have a 17" sony (DFP-0), 22" LG (CRT) and my TV which it is actually plugged in via my Denon AVR1610 av-receiver (DFP-1). What I generally want to do is have DFP-0+CRT as desktop systems but when when I am watching a DVD etc flick over to just DFP-1. I also want CRT to work by itself some times for the [14:27] odd game I might play. The closest meta mode configuration I got to is in this xorg.conf with the xrandr output below it http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/3XqNR18K . As you can see it has the desktop systems fine but seems to have no knowledge of my av-receiver. Any ideas? [14:27] fruitbag`: "what did you do to create the array in the first place" [14:27] I didn't create the array myself. [14:27] hi, is it possible, that I can have a fixed ip for my eth card from a router which has DHCP. [14:27] fruitbag`: who did [14:28] I cannot say [14:28] arvind_khadri: yes [14:28] fruitbag`: why ? [14:28] Because I don't know [14:28] adz21c, how do I achieve it? [14:28] fruitbag`: ok - was it created in windows or linux ? [14:28] fruitbag`: does it contain a windows or linux file system [14:28] how will i enable system sound in ubuntu 10.04? [14:28] its not like previous version [14:28] ikonia: apparently, it is the Linux file system [14:28] zzzed,I back [14:29] arvind_khadri: it depends on your router. However for mine I go into its DHCP settings and it has an option to reserve IPs for certain card MAC addresses [14:29] adz21c, am using a belkin [14:29] "Partition type: Linux RAID autodetect [14:29] (0xfd)" [14:29] arvind_khadri: got a model? [14:29] They are both recognised as healthy partitions in the disk utility [14:29] ??? [14:30] can anyone help to enable system sound in ubuntu 10.04? [14:30] ikonia Thank u big ;) i did it [14:30] Any thoughts? [14:31] adz21c, no :( [14:31] arvind_khadri: hmm, well they'll have more than one model but i see if i can find a manual and hope it is similar :-) gimmie a mo [14:31] So, why is it that the RAID array cannot be mounted/ [14:32] hmm, can vnc transmit Clipboard? [14:32] I am told that there are "not enough components" to start the RAID array [14:33] What components would I need?

[14:59] maybe time to find a differnt linux [14:59] case: not, i don't ;) its home server. So i want to know, what is so bad in raid 10 with 6 hdd for whole system [14:59] perlsyntax, do 'lsmod | grep snd" and paste [14:59] Guest22962: if something exists in official repositories, I would never use a ppa [14:59] !helpme | fruitbag` [14:59] fruitbag`: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

I will restart firefox [16:19] kellawe: looking at the page I can't see any indication that it would change the behaviour of X [16:20] which vi makes no sense to me [16:20] alp: do you now how to edit a grub line? [16:20] why is vi mapped in such a strange way [16:20] biomass: with X you mean exactly what? [16:21] Does anyone have an idea of how to get the Mod key ( WINDOWS key ) to work when using commands on an ubuntu system?

[16:22] delinquentme: set /where/? [16:22] jneves: well obviously we cant solve that :) but I have a question. look at the output from powertop: http://paste.ubuntu.com/485009/ do you have such a 97.4% on you computer? [16:22] im in system > pref > keyboard shortcuts [16:23] biomass: so you have those orange stripes on the screen all the time? [16:23] yeah ti says Mod4+1 [16:23] its LABELEd in the shortcuts ... but doesnt work [16:24] alp: more - that's normal - means that the cpu is most of the time on the lowest frequency - that's a good thing [16:24] kellawe: its not orange, every other horizontal pixel line has a lighter/darker tone [16:24] ...HMmmm but mapping them switcher with alt+1,2,3 works just fine.... [16:24] jrib, jjmartin have you guys tried mapping anything w the mod4 key?? [16:25] jneves: does not it mean my Core1 is running on a high freq (false positive) [16:26] delinquentme, i use t to start gnome-terminal by setting the command short cut key in gconf-editor [16:26] alp: that would be if the 1.84MHz had the higher % [16:26] alp: not the 1MHz one [16:26] biomass: i wonder where i got that orange :) Well, unfortunately i dont have any more ideas as what might be causing your problem. sorry [16:27] kellawe: thanks for trying [16:27] delinquentme: I have not, I just use xbindkeys. But what you did should work. Check system -> preferences -> keyboard for some conflicting options. Also, is anything bound just to the windows key by itself?

I had to manually compile the software from RealVNC's site, since if you try to do an automatic installation, it gives you an error complaining about a lib package. [16:59] i'm sorry [16:59] bsmith093: yup it boots faster than win 7 on my box [16:59] lunavorax, the only way I've managed to kill zombie processes is to kill their parent. not good if the parent is "init" or some other critical process! [16:59] Scrumps, is RealVNC installed? then it's the same as if you used a ubuntu package to put it as automatic startup [17:00] jneves excellent ! i was able to localize it [17:00] I killed the father of wodim, now it's gone [17:00] Scrumps, you can do man update-rc.d because I don't remember the syntax and otherwise I have to read the man for you [17:00] lunavorax: can you read the cd?

[17:04] go in a terminal scrumps and type " locate vnc" [17:04] No, it's just slow to load the grub "interface" [17:04] also the arrow keys react slowly in grub [17:04] you can you grep to thin out the list. this is a good time to learn "REGULAR EXPRESSIONS" [17:04] flixil: the DISPLAY variable should influence where an app starts, but what do you want the behavior to change to? [17:05] then you can start using cat and less to replace and write new scripts on the fly [17:05] hey slid3ro the room list option is blocked in empathy .. any body else using it ... [17:05] jrib the thing is dialogs created from applications as when you try to get superuser permisions get always to the first screen.

[17:18] whenever i start up samba, it gives errors like Ignoring unknown parameter "domain master" [17:18] and that's using the samba command [17:18] the router is supposed to connect to my backtrack machine [17:18] Paragon, we'd need to see your smb.conf [17:19] i mean the other way around [17:19] Paragon: why aren't you using "service"? [17:19] jrib mmm... I don't know why. Because it's the primary monitor I guess, but I don't wanna be changing which monitor is the primary as that involves changing xorg.conf every time [17:19] Paragon: how are you trying to setup samba? standalone server that shares stuff, domain master or what? [17:19] service smbd start doesn't do anything [17:19] flixil: ok, so why do the regular apps not start there? [17:19] i'm trying to set samba to just accept files from a share [17:19] and be the share? [17:19] Paragon: smb should start automatically anyway [17:19] Paragon: ook so let me see your conf file [17:20] use a pastebin and give me the link [17:20] okay [17:20] give me a min [17:20] I want to use my internet that im reciving from my usb modem and transfer it via ethernet to my router. that is one end goes into my computer and other end goes to the router, how can i do this. Please walk me through. Im using ubuntu `10.04 [17:20] s1id3r0, everything finished fine. [17:20] Um, I'm not sure if this is the proper place, but I have a question about wireless networks on the netbook remix. [17:20] jrib it's another Xserver if I understood correctly the concept of "different X screens", so this means that they inherit a different DISPLAY value when created [17:20] I'm booted up in livecd. I want to search for files on another account that has disappeared. Is that possible. I have the pass/login [17:21] flixil: so they start there because you start them from the menu there? [17:21] dan_s: since you'll mount the harddisk as root, you should be able to find whatever you need. [17:21] jrib yes, or from a console form here, or so on [17:21] don't even need a password [17:21] aaron11, ok this is doable, but it'll take some work. i'm assuming the internet on the 10.04 box works thru the usb modem? [17:21] can anyone help me [17:21] good times " sudo reboot 'now' and see if it works, I have somethings to attend to but you can get me on "google buzz" or back here if you have a problem , just google " sliderzero" and you should find me. [17:21] Heya, I need to kill the xserver from terminal, how to ? [17:21] flixil: I see now, though I'm not sure why dialogs would ignore DISPLAY [17:21] cheers and good luck [17:21] thank you [17:21] aaron check firestarter to do it easily and graphically [17:21] savy33, service gdm stop [17:21] arrrghhh: umm yeah [17:22] Would anyone happen to know how to manually add a network? [17:22] arrrghhh: currently im on usb modem [17:22] aaron11: what's the name of the device that has the public ip and the name of the device with the local ip [17:22] how can I change order of boot list on ubuntu? [17:22] aaron11, ok, next step you need to plug the WAN port on your router into the ethernet port on your 10.04 box. [17:22] savy33, (without you specifying, it's assumed you are using : latest ubuntu (10,04), and gnome) [17:22] My wireless card will pick up my neighbor's network, but not my ow. [17:22] sudo reboot 'now' [17:22] apow: I dont understand you [17:22] Haha [17:22] woops [17:22] Wrong window. [17:22] Scrumps: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:22] !enter [17:22] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [17:22] * jrib is tempted to kick Scrumps [17:22] Who is in charge of archive mounter? [17:22] arrrghhh: 1 sec [17:22] or is it just useless [17:22] aaron11: type ifconfig -a into your terminal and paste it to me [17:23] arrrghhh: lemmy pull out my router [17:23] bjv: do you have an actual support question? [17:23] on a private message. [17:23] airtonix: thnx [17:23] Can anyone help me? [17:23] jrib: is there a way to use archive mounter to mount the archive loopback? [17:23] Paragon: so, did you put your conf somewhere? [17:23] jrib do you think that gdevilspie can help here? [17:23] savy33, that command i gave you can be applied to pretty much any service assuming it has 'upstart' sripts. it also assumes you'll be prefixing it with sudo [17:23] does it still work? [17:24] jrib: because for now ive just put an script next to my .iso to run gksudo 'losetup -f *etc.' [17:24] How would I find something that I am missing. It seems like all my files are gone. For instance I had one called wikiha in var/www locate wikiha produces nothing [17:24] matthatesspam: your card is working for sure, did you put your ap in hidden mode? [17:24] flixil: I didn't know devilspie could send things to other X servers, but even if it can, it would be hard to write a rule that says: open dialogs where the parent window is [17:24] dan_s: find / -name '*wikiha*' [17:24] clear [17:24] does it work? [17:24] airtonix: yh, it worked fine, im just used to using cntrl alt bckspce [17:25] hi, my linux could not send bigsize data to internet, for example files, images, what can i do? [17:25] bjv: I think there exists a nautilus script to do that, but I don't know about "archive mounter" [17:25] how do i add a custom service to start when going to runlevel 0 with the event based upstart? [17:25] perojok: are you connected via pppoe? [17:25] savy33, ah right, for that to work you need to modify the keyboard profile settings. [17:25] !upstart | phil___ [17:25] phil___: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [17:25] perojok: adsl connection? [17:25] phil___: they also have an irc channel [17:25] savy33, you'll find a tickbox in there that will enable that behaviour [17:26] apow: not adls [17:26] thanks jrib [17:26] perojok: but pppoe? [17:26] apow: yes [17:27] jrib yes, It cannot send things to other Xservers, checked :( [17:27] perojok: paste the output of ifconfig -a to me in a private window [17:28] hello, could anyone tell me how i can mount the whole share from my windows pc, rather than just a folder? thanks [17:28] I have a pdf file with black "overstriking" hiding most words. If I simply select the words so they get blue, the words are visible (so they are not truly hidden). Is the a tool that simply can remove the black overstrikings so I can read the document easily? [17:29] the/there [17:29] lightbricko: copy and pase the whole document? [17:29] paste [17:29] jrib any idea about where to ask, what can make the problem or even how to make a google search, because I've not been able to find anything interesting [17:30] nothing on the search ... I did sudo su and then the command you sent [17:30] i need some help in uninstalling something I found on my system that I dont want there. I was reading through the Ubuntu User Days Trusted Software presentation and they mentioned chkrootkit. I ran that and it says I have an infected one called bindshell. How do I get rid of it? [17:30] stev3 I don't understand your question [17:30] 谁知道中文的IRC是那个 [17:30] laura_: safest way is to format. [17:31] flixil: your best bet is to find someone that also has your setup :P I would try here later, some other linux channels (##linux maybe), forums too. My google searches have also been less than fruitful [17:31] hey everyone -- I'm having sudden unexpected trouble reading CDs. when I click on it in gnome, it says "mount: special device /dev/hda does not exist" [17:31] laura_: if you think you have been rooted, you can't possibly know what your attacker has done to your system. [17:31] arrrgh... reformatting, that means reinstalling everything i use again *sigh* [17:31] arrrghhh: sorry [17:31] laura_: sorry :( [17:31] apow: she needs a specific solution [17:31] arrrghhh: i dissconnected [17:31] * magicianlord twirls [17:31] laura_, you cannot trust the system otherwise [17:32] I'm saying there isn't one. [17:32] How can I enable HDMI sound through my NVIDIA GTX 460? It is not in system=>prefs=>sound. Refer http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1560288&highlight=hdmi+sound+gtx+460 [17:32] great.. ok.. well, i guess i needed the practice anyway. [17:32] laura_: how did this happen [17:32] Is /dev/hda even where the cdrom drive lives? [17:32] laura_: everyone does at some point :P [17:32] hello, I have an n computing x300 kit. Its a desktop virtualization pci card that can support up to 3 terminals but I do not know how to make it work in ubuntu. Any suggestions, ideas? [17:33] i'm not sure, i'm confused about it since I cant recall ever installing anything except from the Ubuntu Software Center [17:33] laura_: does anyone else has access to this server? [17:33] Maletor: do you have a monitor with hdmi? [17:33] Hm, so that didn't work, and now I get a grey background when connecting using that. [17:33] flixil: well gl, I'm off for a bit [17:33] Does anyone else have any ideas? [17:34] I can't find where my cdrom drive lives in /dev/ [17:34] it's just a personal laptop but yes I have one friend that comes over to use it sometimes. I thought I could trust her but maybe she inadvertantly installed something ... i dunno. i'll make a separate account for her that cant install stuff next time [17:34] Semitones, doesn't it auto mount? [17:34] nogo: Yes, it's going to a receiver which has HDMI out to my monitor. [17:34] what is bindshell ? what does it do? [17:34] laura_: a good starting point would be getting the information about this PCI device by typing lspci in a terminal, so you could search for contrete information about support of it in the kernel [17:34] nogo: should i try to bypass the receiver? [17:35] laura_: that's good practice. Also make sure that you have your iptables rules up and running to avoid exploits on network daemons. [17:35] Maletor: no clue [17:35] rockhopper, no it used to work but it isn't anymore [17:35] iptables... that is sometime I have no idea about. i'm just learning all this [17:35] clicking on the cdrom drive in GNOME says "mount: special device /dev/hda does not exist" [17:35] laura_: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-security/2003-March/000050.html [17:35] I need to get my files off this damaged system. Can I do that from the livecd. Or did that search show that the file headers no longer exist. Or. am I in the wrong partition? [17:35] i'm very new at linux [17:36] Semitones, if its recognised, and you insert a cd, it shud auto mount, and be visible in /dev/ [17:36] well, someone more versed in the ubuntu ways can probably give you an easy way to setup iptables for home use [17:36] rockhopper, it used to be recognized, but if it isn't any more -- what do I do? [17:36] I'd give you a bunch of commands to type :P [17:36] Hi. How do I update my kernel on Hardy ? [17:37] just read that msg on the website link you posted.. what is a rootkit? [17:37] Without custom compiling it [17:37] laura_: Applications > Accessoires > Terminal. A window opens. Type "lspci" without quotations, followed by a press on the enter key. You'll get a list of the installed PCI devices. [17:38] hey guys, I need some help installing ubuntu, I have windows on one drive, and I want to install ubunto on a different drive, and I only want to use half the drive. I've tried installed several times now, but each time it fails and I get a grub rescue prompt. I don't konw what I'm doing wrong [17:38] met_: okay i did that and got a long list of stuff. what is it i'm looking for in there? [17:38] rockhopper: I'm thinking maybe it's wrong in fstab, and it doesn't really live at /dev/hda [17:39] laura_: something you install on a server to make sure you can access it remotely with administrative priviledges any time you want, without anyone knowing about it. [17:39] privileges* [17:39] Semitones, is cdrom mounted in fstab file? [17:39] laura_: this is the list of all PCI devices, search for the one(s) the device being in question [17:39] rockhopper, yes: /dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 [17:39] hello [17:39] met_ I think you confused questions :) [17:40] apow: I assume the support of the card in Linux is questionable [17:40] Semitones, Ok, then the hardware's not working. [17:40] met_: what card? [17:40] she has a rootkit/firewall problem [17:40] rockhopper, nah, it works in windows [17:40] not a hardware issue. [17:40] sorry laura_ , I meant usr_ :) [17:41] btw, i really appreciate your help. i dont see bindshell or port 6667 showing in there anywhere [17:41] haha :) [17:41] usr_: what I said was for you :> [17:41] Semitones, Oh. [17:41] laura_: as I said, this is too much for someone who's starting [17:41] can I ask a question? [17:41] don't ask to ask, ask [17:41] What is the ultimate question of life? [17:41] just format and install nothing before you configure your firewall [17:41] ok, i'll just format and start over again.. it's good practice anyway :) [17:41] this questions deals not with ubuntu [17:42] The problem is I don't know WHY the cd rom is not mounting. If I knew how to troubleshoot it would be easier. [17:42] Semitones, try mounting it manually [17:42] Well, it does. [17:42] it lives at /dev/cdrom [17:42] ok.. there is my next question.. how do i configure the firewall? arrgh i hate when i'm still an idiot learning something new. i'll be glad when i know this stuff and dont feel so stupid [17:42] Jaume Colon? [17:42] rockhopper, I tried "sudo mount /media/cdrom0" but I got the same message, so I think that's what gnome is trying too [17:42] If you get it right, you might as well solve every problem there is in life, including ubuntu [17:42] Heeelp [17:42] OOO Impress very slow running fglrx [17:42] is there a how to somewhere on net that i can refer to? [17:43] laura_, you can use firestarter as a graphic firewall [17:43] laura_: sure there is, just google for ubuntu home firewall setup [17:43] oh see [17:43] so maybe the cdrom lives somewhere else besides /dev/hda, but how would I find out [17:43] what flixil said :) [17:43] Semitones, you didnt mention what shud you mount [17:43] I'm not a gui person [17:43] ok i'll try that.. thank you both so much for all your help [17:43] :D [17:43] what apow said :) [17:43] it should be something like this sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 [17:43] rockhopper, if it's in fstab, you don't have to [17:43] is it really that i need an anti virus when i run ubuntu [17:43] How can I enable HDMI sound through my NVIDIA GTX 460? It is not in system=>prefs=>sound. Refer http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1560288&highlight=hdmi+sound+gtx+460 [17:43] Atomix77: in theory this might be true, but you could find it our by yourself by studying a bit of philosophy [17:43] rockhopper, I don't know where in /dev/ it exists [17:44] it shud exist in /dev/cdrom [17:44] Maletor: try - http://www.mandladventures.com/2008/11/03/ubuntu-810-hdmi-sound-configuration/ [17:45] :( [17:45] Hello. I got two different X window using nvidia on two different monitors with different resolutions. Opening a window from one monitor opens it in the current monitor, but dialogs and for instance the gsudo dialog go always to the first monitor. How can this behaviour be changed? Thanks [17:45] Semitones, see if this helps you http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/wine/36100-cant-find-cdrom.html [17:45] i just upgraded someone's ubuntu install from hardy to lucid. in the process i seem to have lost the gnome sound applet for the taskbar. is it no longer in the "gnome-applets" package? [17:45] I upgraded to lucid and now have text "ubuntu 10.04" instead of boot logo (dots are there though). I tried the usual ati/nvidia plymouth logo fix, but that only made the text show slightly longer. Any thoughts? [17:46] hiku: My System=>Preferences=>Sound does not have an option to choose HDMI [17:46] gnat_xx: try the indicator applet [17:46] hiku: Plus, this is a NVIDIA Card [17:46] I joined to the Ubuntu Font Family Interest Group, but my instance is pending approval yet. Can you help me? I would like to test this font, but i can't download it. [17:46] hi i have quite a big problem here :i tryed installing ubuntu on my desktop but when it came to resize the partition, it gave me only 3.7gb avaible for ubuntu (when i had 50gb free in windows). so foolish of me i tryed to repartion only the windows one (380gb total) to 10gb with ext4 and mount point /home. i applyed and then i thought "its a bad idea" so i quit the installation and now i... [17:46] ...can't boot windows. any ways to at least get back my files from windows? Thanks [17:46] gnat_xx: do you have any sound icon in the panel? [17:46] Maletor: what type of sound card? [17:46] hiku: that looks right. [17:46] ubuntu: first you should boot your livecd then try to mount your windows partition. [17:47] hiku: NVIDIA GTX 460 [17:47] boliclis: i do now that i used the indicator applet [17:48] thanks for the help!! [17:48] Maletor: maybe this? - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=967023 [17:49] apow: how do i mount it? im already in ubuntu running from my usb stick right [17:49] guys how much swap size is recommended??? [17:49] alp: 2x your ram [17:49] alp: now adays equal to your ram is fine [17:50] hiku: hmm I have 3gb of ram but 500 mb of swap [17:50] alp: did you do a default partition layout? [17:50] so I'm doing it wrong [17:50] mindjart jovok, reboot [17:50] alp: usually the default is fine when you choose "use entire disk" [17:50] hiku: what's default partition layout? [17:50] I've ubuntu on sda6, swap on sda7 [17:51] alp: you could always resize your partitions with gparted... [17:51] it's fine unless you're actually running out of swap [17:51] Hey, guys... [17:52] What effect does file system journaling have on a ssd? [17:52] alp: yea, like incandenza said, it really shouldn't be to big an issue. [17:52] I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CDT laptop circa 1996 with 24 MB of RAM. What Linux distro would you guys recommend for it? [17:52] hiku: does not come up in aplay -l [17:52] I see 854 on +-swap's free on $free -m [17:53] hiku: in this case, is it a big deal? [17:53] but 500mb of swap [17:53] Maletor: oh ok. Hmm, not sure ... I'll keep pokin around [17:53] fruitbag`: probably DSL linux or puppy linux [17:53] Alright [17:53] puppy linux? [17:53] alp: no.. [17:53] BigC, what I really wanted to do was to have internet access via the parallel port using SSH. [17:54] Will either DSL or Puppy Linux allow for such facilities? [17:54] Is there any reason why I cannot connect to Windows Shares over the network? Every time I try, I keep getting an eror message regarding the master server list cannot be accessed. [17:55] Or, just can't access them at all. [17:55] I'm not sure, but if all you are going to be using SSH, then you could go with a distro that is command line only like arch, or gentoo, or something like that [17:56] Well, not just SSH, BigC . I want to use an internet browser too [17:56] You see, I was enquiring in another channel about the possibility of accessing the internet using my 14 year old laptop via the parallel port connected to an internet-ready computer. [17:57] what's the new mechanism for configuring hardware for X now that HAL has been deprecated? [17:57] I will still stick with my 2 recommendations, but if you need more help with that, please go to there irc channels [17:57] fruitbag`: doesn't your old laptop have an ethernet port? [17:57] I was told that the only option would be to install a Linux distro and do so by SSH [17:57] hiku, no [17:57] Hey guys ... I'm having trouble getting any driver but the ATI/AMD driver working for my video card . The Menu / System / Hardware drivers / program is not showing anything else install to try and use as my video driver . How would I manually force the radeonhd driver to be used ? [17:57] fruitbag`: how about a pcmcia slot? [17:57] Yes, two [17:57] But I don't have an Ethernet PCMCIA adaptor [17:57] fruitbag`: I'd pick up a ethernet card for cheap and use that instead [17:58] I think I've tried that before, anyway [17:58] There seems to be an issue with the PCMCIA slots [17:58] internet via a parallel port? even if that did work, it'd be sooooo slow! === trevor is now known as Yarrgh [17:58] arrrghhh, how about the serial port? [17:59] hiku: You know what it might be? ALSA is out of date and doesn't have support for the GTX 460 [17:59] fruitbag`: internet via parallel/serial port via ssh? hmm, yeah I doubt that will work [17:59] fruitbag`, you're asking about very unorthodox ports being used for internet connectivity... [17:59] Maletor: ah, good catch. update? [17:59] Hey, can anyone help me set up gnome? apt-get install gnome won't work for some reason. [17:59] fruitbag`, they may work, but you'll need an additional piece of hardware. [17:59] I know, arrrghhh. The are the only means of live connectivity that the laptop has. [17:59] Kaolc: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [17:59] didn't work either [17:59] oh [17:59] sec [18:00] Kaolc, use aptitude if you want to be able to remove it later... [18:00] I don't..

[18:00] arrrghhh: bad internet [18:00] fruitbag`: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/PLIP.html [18:00] Kaolc, hrm. you installed ubuntu-server edition or what? just give him webmin. [18:01] Naw, he needs an actual gui because he wants to run mirc and stuff from it [18:01] arrrghhh: webmin is not supported [18:01] downloading ubuntu-desktop or whatever you told me to now, 30 secs remaining [18:01] ikonia, yea yea i know. but ebox sucks. [18:01] Kaolc: =0 [18:01] Kaolc: cool. [18:01] Is there a way to force my computer to use a driver instead of automatically picking what it sees as the best driver ? [18:01] okay it's done, lol. 1,3gb :P [18:01] Kaolc, oh... you should've probably just installed ubuntu-desktop in the first place then :P [18:02] Kaolc: yeah =) [18:02] ximal, modprobe... what are you trying to do? [18:02] I wish i had internet that fast [18:02] Why did apt-get install gnome not work tho? And yeah, I should have done desktop in the first place I guess [18:02] gnome said missing dependencies, then when I installed them it would just keep saying it [18:02] Kaolc: nome is not the desktop package, [18:03] Kaolc: ubuntu-desktop is the desktop package [18:03] ah [18:03] Kaolc, there's ways to just install gnome... i think it's gnome-core? [18:03] Kaolc: if you do apt-cache search gnome, you will see a ton of packages with the name gnome in them. [18:03] ah [18:03] Makes sense then [18:03] unpacking.. Zzzz [18:03] ubuntu-desktop gives you EVERYTHING. including gnome. [18:03] and open office [18:03] Ah, sweet [18:03] etc [18:03] then how exactly would my friend connect to the VPS when he wants to? [18:04] VNC or something? [18:04] Kaolc: yeah.. [18:04] rockhopper: that didn't help. I'm looking in dmesg for my cd rom but there are problems [18:04] Kaolc: that works [18:04] Sorry for sounding a bit dumb probably, but what's the easiest way to get that set up? [18:04] Kaolc, ubuntu has one called 'vino', built-in. [18:04] I'm having a problem installing ubuntu. I have two drives, one with windows and one with ubuntu, after I install ubuntu I get a grub rescue prompt.I followed the installer and choose to install ubuntu on sdb using the entire drive. I have windows on sda. Any help? [18:05] salted, these 2 drives... both are sata ata scsi ?? [18:05] arrrghhh: I have a default 10.04 install and vino isn't installed by default [18:05] Kaolc, is the vps a separate box? [18:05] sata [18:05] coz_: sata [18:05] I have no idea.. I think it is [18:05] hiku, i thought it was... did they take it out? [18:05] So I just launch vino? [18:06] arrrghhh: yea I think so... [18:06] Well, how do I even connect to it [18:06] lol [18:06] Kaolc, i thought you set this up for your buddy... [18:06] salted, and does the live cd recognize both as individual drives in the parition manager? [18:06] I am [18:06] I'm sorta clueless too tho [18:06] so is he [18:06] Kaolc: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:06] Kaolc: sudo apt-get install vino [18:06] so you should know how it was setup...? [18:06] coz_: I think so, I get a choice to to install on either drive [18:06] Why should I know how it was set up? [18:06] you setup a hypervisor vps system and you don't know how to connect to it...? [18:06] Kaolc, i was under the impression you setup the vps... [18:06] No, I didn't set it up [18:06] salted, and does it want to install grub on the windows drive ...yes? [18:07] He bought it, I'm "setting it up" (= installing ubuntu-desktop) [18:07] Kaolc, ok, who did? is it a hosted solution? [18:07] It's a hosted one yeah [18:07] sorry for the misunderstanding there [18:07] I want to convert an avi video file to 3gp or mpeg-4 .mp4 to play it in Android G1 - what encoder is available ? [18:07] coz_: on the final step when I look at the advanced settings, it shows bootloader to be installed on /sda [18:07] Kaolc, what is he doing with it? installing ubuntu-desktop may be way overkill. [18:07] hiku: what's the plan of action? just wait until alsa supports this? i far as I can tell they do not but I can't find a list anywhere [18:07] salted, right that would be the windows drive correct? [18:07] [ 1515.471263] sr0: CDROM (ioctl) error, command: Start/Stop Unit 1b 00 00 00 03 00 [18:07] He's a total retard, can't run anything from commandline. He just needs mirc installed, that's really all [18:08] I think I'll just restart and see if that fixes it [18:08] coz_: right [18:08] Kaolc: please don't talk about people like that [18:08] Why not? [18:08] Kaolc, he's purchased a VPS to run mirc...? [18:08] Maletor: yeah that might be your only option. Unless you pick up a card a bit older with support [18:08] salted, ok that part is correct [18:08] Kaolc, insults are not taken lightly here.... [18:08] Yes.. He's running a botting system with it. It's a long story, but right now his pc is on 2/7 [18:08] 24/7 * [18:08] Kaolc: it's not nice, we are here to support not slate people [18:08] hiku: well i can still do spdif [18:08] He's sitting besides me, he doesn't mind. [18:08] Kaolc: I do [18:08] salted, so as far as you know ubuntu installed [18:08] Kaolc: please stop [18:08] Well you sure get offended easily [18:09] how do you manage to survive in this world? [18:09] salted, onto the second drive yes? [18:09] Kaolc, insults are not taken lightly here, just give it a rest. [18:09] Maletor: true... [18:09] hiku: i will just have to wait for hdmi out which will include bitstreaming. you think it would be easy to pass unmolested audio through a card to a receiver. [18:09] kk. [18:09] Sorry then. [18:09] Kaolc: I'll only mention this one more time - it stops now. No more on it [18:09] Sorry, I've stopped. Will keep my language clean then. [18:09] coz_: yeah, it takes about 5 minutes installing and then it wants to reboot. That's right, it doesn't hurt the windows install [18:09] hiku: i can barely find anything on this online [18:09] Maletor: good question. I've never tried that before but I would think it should be fine [18:09] Well my point was just that he's inexperienced and needs to run mirc and doesn't know how to do commandline [18:09] hola all [18:09] Is it possible to IRC using the SSH protocol? [18:10] salted, ok go here http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide read here on resintalling grub2 ...read it carefully and follow through with it to see if it then fixes the issue [18:10] Kaolc: he would be better using xchat on ubuntu then mirc in wine [18:10] Nah, the script he's using is for MIRC [18:10] fruitbag`: you mean tunnel irc ports through ssh? [18:10] guys what is the default tool for burning ISOs into CDS [18:10] is there a VMware for ubuntu or what is equivalent [18:10] Kaolc, so if it's just a botnet... hrm. i guess you can install ubuntu-desktop. seems wacky, but hey if you want to pay for a hosted solution to do it for you more power to you. so the host - they let you install anything on it? did they give you any options for connectivity? [18:10] It's not a botnet by the way [18:10] mcl0vin, yes there is [18:10] alp: basaro? [18:10] mcl0vin, well... not really. virtualbox is awesome tho. [18:10] It's a MIRC script running via bitlbee as a MSN bot to chat with people. [18:11] mcl0vin: there is vmware player but it is awfully slow (at least was for me) [18:11] !vbox | mcl0vin [18:11] mcl0vin: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [18:11] so virtual box it is [18:11] :) [18:11] mcl0vin, hold on let me bet link [18:11] Kaolc, do i even want to know...? [18:11] mcl0vin: also look at kvm [18:11] oracle vmvirtualbox [18:11] Apparently you don't.. Just don't assume it's a botnet right away :) [18:11] Kaolc, it just doesn't make any sense to me. why someone would pay for that... [18:11] Kaolc: ok - so back on topic, is there any additional ubuntu support you need at this time ? [18:11] mcl0vin, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [18:12] after a google search i fund that with older (pre 8.04 - etc) people had often problems with via rhine II network cards.. - ive got a mobo with one intergraded and 10.4 lists in lspci that is a VIA VT6102 [18:12] Kaolc, but he is right, that's off-topic. you just need help connecting to it remotely, and i asked what the vps solution provides. [18:12] coz_: thanks, I'll give that a shot [18:12] Arrggh, because he's banking 100$/day from it, but needs to leave his computer on all the time. He'd rather pay 10$/month to not leave it on. [18:12] I'll shut up for now and let you know if there's more [18:12] salted, if you have issues go to the #grub channel ... I am sure they can help with this [18:12] Kaolc, i don't want to know what horrible things he's doing to make money off irc bots. [18:12] oh ok [18:12] cool [18:12] thanks [18:13] but i dont get any network - even worse when i try to run Network-manager the system LOCKS up (freezes ) [18:13] okay. [18:13] Did you play that game Yo Frankie yet ? [18:13] salted, no problem [18:13] hi, i've a nvidia gt 220, after installed on boot it says" "low graphics mode", but i can start gdm just from the console and it works..so it seems that's because something start before the load of the drivers?? can it be? [18:13] Quantum_Ion: who are you talking to ? [18:13] Okay, so I've got Vino.. How do I run it inside wine and connect from my windows box? [18:13] ikonia, to you ? [18:14] Quantum_Ion: ok so this channel is for ubuntu support only, we are not interested in gaming chat [18:14] Kaolc: I'd suggest connecting to ubuntu nativly with tools such as vmware [18:14] ikonia, Yo Frankie is a Ubuntu Linux game [18:14] Kaolc: sorry vnc [18:14] Quantum_Ion: yes, this is a support channel, we are not interested in gaming chat [18:15] Okay, how would I set up a VNC client then? [18:15] Kaolc: there are plenty, just install a vnc client on your workstation and connect to the server [18:15] !vnc | Kaolc [18:15] Kaolc: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [18:16] So I don't have to set up anything on the server? [18:16] Kaolc: just install a vnc server on the ubuntu machine, thats it [18:16] Yeah, I'm asking how to do that exactly? [18:16] Kaolc, FreeNX is great if you have a slow cxn. just more difficult to setup. [18:17] Kaolc: open the package manager, search for "vnc" click "install [18:17] Kaolc, read the link... [18:17] I have a super fast connection [18:17] arrgghh, I'd rather go the easy way [18:17] Kaolc, the link walks you thru installing and configuring a vnc server. [18:17] then use vnc, it's easier. [18:17] okay, thanks. [18:17] Will read it now [18:17] hi everyone [18:17] !hi | kimb [18:17] kimb: 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! [18:17] how do i turn the remix menu on the desktop [18:17] Hello. I got two different X window using nvidia on two different monitors with different resolutions. Opening a window from one monitor opens it in the current monitor, but dialogs and for instance the gsudo dialog go always to the first monitor. How can this behaviour be changed? Thanks [18:18] but i dont get any network - even worse when i try to run Network-manager the system LOCKS up (freezes ) - [18:19] hi [18:19] the nick is via Rhine (II) - VT 6102 [18:20] im trying to duplicate an audio cd 1:1 [18:20] im using brasero but it want to install cdda2wa and cue2toc [18:20] it tries to install with some "kde-ish" stuff and doesn't manage to [18:21] ubono, if the question is about using a non-graphic one, use wodim or cdrecord [18:21] how do i turn the remix menu on the desktop [18:21] flixil, no graphic better but doesnt work [18:21] i have gnome [18:21] flixil, do you have CCSM installed? [18:21] Ichat: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=522260 at the bottom of this thred is a suggestion. [18:22] WinstonSmith, no, but I can install it in a fly [18:22] tnx for the link - im reading... [18:22] I'm still confused. Can someone post a simple command I can use from the ubuntu server to run a VNC server and then connect to it with TightVNC from my other computer? [18:22] Kaolc: vncserver :1 [18:22] WinstonSmith, do you mean simple-ccsm? [18:22] Kaolc, do you have the vnc server installed on the ubuntu box? [18:22] flixil, how to make a 1:1 copy with wodim? [18:23] I don't think so. I don't even know which vnc server to use [18:23] i dont want to save iso in hard disk before [18:23] just copy 1:1 [18:23] flixil, ok because under placw windows>fixed window placement you can configure rules where windows appear [18:23] no the full one [18:23] Kaolc, you obvioulsy didn't read the link. [18:23] what's a kernel panic -not sysncing [18:23] Kaolc: sudo apt-get install tightvncserver [18:23] thank you hiku [18:23] arrgghh, I skimmed it [18:24] Kaolc: no problem [18:24] Kaolc: reading in full does wonders. [18:24] Kaolc, it tells you EXACTLY how to install & setup a secure vnc connection. [18:24] Kaolc: linux+new users=alot of reading =) [18:25] yes. lots of reading. i still do a lot of reading. [18:25] true, but it's so tempting to just ask experienced people sometimes [18:25] hello [18:25] what is the correct --prefix to use when compiling programs from source? [18:25] Kaolc: more like the lazy way =) [18:25] Kaolc, but you'll get differing answers, and then you won't know what you did - you won't learn. [18:25] Stavros: --prefix is the base path for libs, binary's etc etc. [18:25] WinstonSmith, i don't find any other package looking for ccsm but simple-ccsm creates a ccsm binary, maybe this is it [18:25] Stavros, depends on what you're compilling... some don't need switches, it just depends on how you want it setup. [18:25] hiku: is it standard in ubuntu, or is it per-program? [18:25] ah [18:26] hmm, thanks [18:26] I believe I'm pretty good at remembering what I did.. Anyway [18:26] the website says to use x11vnc -safer -localhost -nopw -once -display :0 [18:26] is that right? [18:26] Stavros: --prefix is whatever you want the path to be [18:26] flixil, have a look here : http://imagebin.org/111780 and the package is : compizconfig-settings-manager [18:26] Kaolc, that's for testing. did you read the page? [18:26] i'm getting this when i'm trying to compile/checkinstall nginx: dpkg: warning: nginx: conffile 'etc/nginx' is not a plain file or symlink (= '/etc/nginx') [18:26] hi all trying to xfer a file from windows virtual box to my laptop (which is running ubuntu). I have WinSCP on the virtual machine. How exactly do I connect to my laptop? I have used ifconfig to optain IP but what usernam/pw [18:26] Stavros: so, ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mydir will place all the files in that dir [18:26] Kaolc, there's fantastic examples at the bottom if you want to 'skip' to it... [18:26] I skimmed it. Could I have the exact command? [18:26] okay, thanks [18:26] Kaolc, read it. if you have issues, ask us. [18:26] Is it possible to make a symbolic folder to a samba share so I can trick a program into thinking that it is a folder and not a network share? [18:26] hiku: hmm, i don't know where nginx is supposed to go, though [18:26] WinstonSmith, yes, this package is a dependency of simple-ccsm [18:27] Stavros: what's nginx? [18:27] hiku: web server [18:27] Stavros: does it have a configure script in the main source dir? [18:27] flixil, yes but it is the full settings manager [18:27] Stavros: or just a make file? [18:27] hiku: i did configure it, using various switches, including --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf [18:28] that file exists [18:28] so base conf path is set to /etc/nginx/ [18:28] i have no idea why it's looking for a file there [18:28] Is there a way to force my computer to use a driver instead of automatically picking what it sees as the best driver ? [18:28] you said the command is for testing, and to read the bottom for examples. The command is FROM the examples. [18:28] ximal, i said modprobe, but i asked what you're trying to do? [18:28] hiku - dont blame me for asking a stupid question but: how do i even 'add such' aspci=noirq [18:28] arrrghhh: I'm trying to force my computer to use the High Definition driver available instead of using an ATI driver [18:29] Stavros: so if you set the conf path, then you need to make sure the .conf is there and configured before starting the webserver if thats where it's looking for it based on your configuration options === randomusr is now known as Guest97349 [18:29] hiku: it is there and working [18:29] hi, I am trying to login to #python channel but receiving "you need to be identified with the servise". How to fix this issue? [18:29] the previous version works fine [18:29] but, for some reason, dpkg expects the config prefix to be a file [18:29] ximal, i forget how it exactly works, but you can blacklist drivers if you don't ever want them being used.... [18:29] Stavros: hmm [18:29] explain to me how modprobe works again ? [18:29] Kaolc, what is the issue...? you're not making any sense, and you don't seem to want to help yourself. [18:29] !modprobe [18:30] just upgraded to 10.04 and noticed two things, Performance has dropped and I got some weird Package manager authentication error a few times [18:30] Stavros: wait, if you installed via source, why would dpkg have anything to do with it? [18:30] hiku: it's as if it expects the config dir but then takes it to mean config file [18:30] ximal, sorry i didn't really. 1 sec. [18:30] WinstonSmith, ok, fixed window placement found I'm gonna take a look [18:30] hiku: i installed the package, and i want to upgrade from source [18:30] anyone else have the same after upgrading? [18:30] I'm still confused even after reading it. Could someone please just tell me what command to use on my remote computer to run the VNC server and have it all ready to connect from my other PC? [18:30] flixil, have a look here : http://imagebin.org/111780 [18:31] flixil, ther you can configure the desktop monitor etc where windows should be placed [18:31] ximal, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/avoid-linux-kernel-module-driver-autoloading.html - gives a quick overview of blacklisting drivers... [18:31] Stavros: oh, so you installed the first package from the repos, and now you want to upgrade it via source.... hmm, you'd need to know the default config options the package folks used in the repo *.deb file for that app, or un-install the old dkpg version and just install and use the new source [18:31] Kaolc, where are you getitng stuck...? [18:31] getting [18:31] I don't know what command to use to start the VNC server [18:31] hiku: hmm, let me try purging [18:32] Kaolc: dude, at a shell.... try typing vncserver -h [18:32] WinstonSmith, I don't think this is what I need. The thing is for instance, clicking on the sound applet of the toolbar and then on sound preferences (this opens gnome-sound-preferences) it always opens it in the first screen. Doing it from a console from a second screen opens it in the second screen. I wanna know why this DISPLAY variable is not kept [18:32] Semitones, did you deal with the problem? [18:32] Kaolc, read the "accessing a family pc over the internet" - bascially what you're doing. [18:32] ok later all, food's here =) [18:32] how to change mouse pointer ....i dnt like circle mouse pointer which appear all the time [18:32] I don't wanna have all the system configuration applications in the second monitor now, I want them where I open them [18:32] guys, i can't upload anything to internet, no files, no imgs, what could it be? from no one browser [18:32] Kaolc, this page stresses security. so it's piping the vnc connection over ssh so it's encrypted. [18:32] flixil, so you want to open them always on the 1st monitor for example? [18:33] anyone had poor performance after upgrading to 10.04? [18:33] how do i even 'add such' aspci=noirq thing to my boot ??? [18:33] flixil, ok cant help you there [18:33] Guest97349, nope. if anything, 10.04 has been better performance-wise. [18:33] no, I want to open them in the active output device, but it doesn't seem to work for applications that are of system configuration or the dialogs that ask for a password. Thanks anyway :) [18:33] rockhopper, no, but I read dmesg and it looks like the cd drive isn't being detected [18:33] np [18:34] XOpenDisplay Failed (:0) [18:34] so I'm going to restart in a minute to see if it fixes it [18:34] Semitones, ok [18:34] Kaolc, do you have a vnc server installed? i can't believe i'm going over this again. [18:35] I did apt-get install tightvncserver [18:35] and apt-get install x11something [18:35] x11vnc * === morris is now known as TheHypnotist [18:35] Kaolc, please pick one. [18:35] tightvncserver it is then [18:35] Kaolc, so long as they're not both running at the same time, you should be fine. [18:35] hey! [18:36] Where are Samba shares mounted in Ubuntu? [18:36] Kaolc, straight from the page we sent you "tightvncserver -nolisten tcp :1" to start tightvncserver. [18:36] Scrumps_, where ever you tell them to mount... mine is at / cuz i'm crazy. [18:36] flixil, you could play around with place windows>general>placement mode or multi output mode. you have a mode there : use output device with pointer [18:37] Well, then apparently I didn't mount them correctly. [18:37] Scrumps_, perhaps i didn't get a full explanation... samba server or client? [18:37] samba client. [18:37] how do i turn the remix menu on the desktop [18:37] great [18:37] Finally I got it started, I think [18:37] Scrumps_, i apologize. still where you tell them to mount. [18:37] Well, what if I didn't? [18:37] WinstonSmith, yes, I'm playing with that right now. Thanks [18:37] Kaolc, impressive. if you had read the page, maybe you could've learned it on your own... [18:37] I just used the Connect to share and from there, it connected. [18:37] Didn't give it a mounting folder. [18:37] Scrumps_, not sure what you mean. you can just browse samba shares - that way they aren't mounted anywhere. [18:37] how bout this then ... How do I get the Hardware Drivers GUI to show more than just the fkn poster boy driver it chooses for me ? [18:38] That is probably what I did then. How do I mount it somewhere then? [18:38] The hardware drivers gui used to show more than 1 choice to be the driver .. and it's making me fkn sick to try and figure it out ... [18:38] ximal, that only displayed "restricted" or non-free drivers. [18:38] Scrumps_, you want to mount it at boot? via fstab? [18:38] i get that arrghh but i have more than 1 driver installed and it's only showing 1 [18:38] Yeah, that would be nice. [18:38] hello again [18:38] wtf is up with that ? how do i point it to ALL downloaded drivers [18:38] ximal, more than one driver for what? [18:39] ximal, all the drivers are in the kernel (for the most part) [18:39] Scrumps_, 1 sec. are these two ubuntu machines, or is the server a windows box? [18:39] I am trying to get the radeonhd driver to be the one in use [18:39] !md5sum [18:39] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [18:39] i'm wondering if i can get some feedback. what is more optimized for videos watching an ati rv620 or a nvidia quadro nv290 (supposed to be like 8500gt or so) [18:39] not the fkn ati .. [18:39] not the fkn amd [18:39] One is a windows server, one is a ubuntu box. [18:39] not the fkn anything else but hd [18:39] ximal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:39] Scrumps_, i see. check out this page - http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/configure-a-system-to-automount-a-samba-share-with-etcfstab/ [18:39] i tried the wifidocs wireless troubleshooting documentation and to no avail [18:40] i am having a problem with wireless networking on ubuntu 10.4 [18:40] !ati | ximal [18:40] ximal: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [18:40] !details | guest0001 [18:40] guest0001: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [18:40] what does a parsnip in action look like? [18:40] WinstonSmith, doesn't work. it may be a real bug [18:41] arrrghhh: damn fine ;) [18:41] i guess i depends on what kind of action we're takling about... hrm, i'll stop there. sorry. [18:41] i am not able to connect to the internet in ubuntu 10.4 [18:41] lol [18:41] hi [18:41] what does "!details" mean? [18:41] guest0001, yes but we need more info. did it work from the livecd? [18:41] no [18:41] it didn't [18:41] guest0001, well that should've been a good indicator that you'll have to do some work - and it may not work... [18:41] guest0001: does your wireless network show when you left click network managr [18:41] no [18:42] it doesn't [18:42] guest0001: if you run: sudo lshw -C network ,you will see your network devices. The product line for your wireless will help you find guides [18:43] arrrghhh, and after I am done adding that to fstab, how do I check to see if it has applied correctly? [18:43] guest0001: if it says: Broadcom 43xx then if you get your system on a wired connection, you will be offered the driver [18:43] Scrumps_, well, reboot or just do a "mount -a" [18:43] i think you have to do that with sudo... [18:43] i need some videoeditor, byt it must be like Windows Movie Maker, and it must make video from photo and music [18:43] Scrumps_: unmount the device then run: sudo mount -a [18:44] but i have no way of getting on a wired connection [18:44] it is broadcom [18:44] kemmotar, if you need windows movie maker, then perhaps you should just use the windows movie maker. [18:44] guest0001: then you will have a tough time. Wired connections help LOTS [18:44] WinstonSmith, Thanks anyway [18:44] unable to connect, connection refused. Looks like I messed up... [18:44] !broadcom | guest0001 [18:44] guest0001: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [18:44] thank you so much [18:44] guest0001: that facoid shows a way you can use the livecd to install too [18:45] I thought the driver is called b43 now and not bcm43xx [18:45] Kaolc, now we get into ports... do you have the ports open? if you pipe it thru ssh it'll be much easier - i'm assuming the vps gives you port 22/ssh.... [18:45] arrrghhh, ActionParsnip, mount: mount point /mnt/samba does not exist [18:45] Yeah, 22 is open. How do I pipe them through 22? [18:45] Do I need to make a folder? I assumed that it would create the folder automatically. [18:45] Scrumps_, you have to create the folder where you're mounting. [18:45] arrrghhh, i need it analog in ubuntu [18:45] Scrumps_: sudo mkdir /mnt/samba [18:45] nope [18:45] Scrumps_: the mount point MUST exist. It is not mounts job to make mount points [18:46] Scrumps_, it's a security thing. [18:46] kemmotar, not sure what you mean by that. is english your first language? no offense, sometimes it's just easier to communicate in your native language. [18:46] Alright... well, after making the mount point, this popped up: http://pastebin.ca/1927849 [18:47] arrrghhh, how do I pipe it through 22? [18:47] Kaolc, lol it's all on that page dude! [18:47] anyone running zathura on 10.04? [18:47] can you link it again then please? [18:48] Scrumps_, can you paste your fstab? you need smbfs after the mount point... [18:48] !vnc | Kaolc [18:48] Kaolc: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [18:48] Scrumps_: I strongly suggest you remove the space in the share name of the folder. It'll make life a lot easier [18:48] Scrumps_, you don't _have_ to. but it does make things easier. [18:48] i figured out how to do it, you have to put a \40 in for the space... [18:48] http://pastebin.ca/1927851 [18:49] Oh... I thought it was %20, alright... hold on. [18:49] is there anything apt-get cant do? iv never needed to compile from source! [18:49] I don't see anything about piping nor tunneling on that page. [18:49] n0a1ias: depends on you ppas and repos [18:49] Scrumps_, yea... kinda odd, i know. [18:50] any know how to make calls on ubuntu using magic jack [18:50] Well, arrrghhh replacing it with \40 didn't work. [18:50] n0a1ias: if you have a driver which needs compiling with no ppa, you may need to compile. Otherwise its incrdibly rare [18:50] I think my cd rom is /dev/sr0 but I'm not sure [18:50] Scrumps_, i thought that was it. you removed the space entirely right? [18:50] Yeah, there aren't any spaces. [18:50] ActionParsnip, yea, i was giving it a compliment saying that, stock even, it kicks ass [18:50] Semitones: you can check with: sudo lshw -C drive [18:50] I guess I can remove the space from the share though, it isn't that big of a deal. [18:51] n0a1ias: does what it says on the tin :) [18:51] ActionParsnip, for some reason fstab things /dev/hda is my cdrom but it's not, can I delete it from fstab? [18:51] Scrumps_, that would be easier... i thought it was \40. maybe /40...? 1 sec. [18:51] ActionParsnip: wanted to say, that sudo apt-get update and sudo-apt-get upgrade fixed the problem with update manager and software center not running [18:51] Semitones: you should use UUIDs. They are less likely to cause mount problems [18:51] arrgghhh, I still don't get it. Nothing on how to pipe through 22 on that page. [18:51] ActionParsnip, sudo lshw -C /dev/sr0 returned PCI [18:52] brad_: nice, glad you got the gold [18:52] also how would I pipe through 22 when it's in use? [18:52] Scrumps_, sorry it's \040 [18:52] hello everyone [18:52] Even removing the space it still brings up that error. [18:52] i had some questions regarding hard drives and the device names [18:52] ActionParsnip, but mount says: /dev/sr0 on /media/CDROM_ type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1001,gid=1001,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500) [18:52] Scrumps_, did you change the mount? [18:52] Semitones: no. The command is: sudo lshw -C drive ,not sudo lshw -C /dev/sr0 [18:52] does the device name tell me anything about the channel and position the hard drive is on ? [18:52] like /dev/sda [18:52] is this IDE channel 1 ? [18:53] xibalba: pata ;) [18:53] if it's /dev/sda1 is it IDE channel 1 position 2 ? [18:53] xibalba : yeh pata [18:53] What do you mean? Everything is the same, I have been changing the Torrent Downloads to modify the \040 and to try to remove the space, that is it. [18:53] ActionParsnip, I tried it with drive but it did the same thing [18:53] Kaolc, i'll give you a hint... it's related to the ssh -L command. [18:53] hooray, hints. [18:53] ActionParsnip : do you know where i can find some docs on this [18:53] Scrumps_, well you have to modify the share on the windows box. [18:53] xibalba: its a pata drive, hda are parallel, sda are sata/scsi [18:53] ActionParsnip, it says PCI (sysfs) and then that disappears [18:53] Kaolc, you're determined NOT to learn aren't you. [18:53] Yeah, I modified the share on the Windows Box too. [18:53] Scrumps_, do you have the package : smbfs installed? [18:53] hello, any know how to make calls on ubuntu using magic jack [18:53] ? [18:53] ActionParsnip : sorry i ment hda then [18:53] arrrghhh, no, English isn't my first language, so i'm so sorry, but i don't know anyone who can help me... i asking for analog of windows movie maker in ubuntu, because i need make a video from several pictures [18:54] ActionParsnip : know where i can find some info on how to identify which drive is whh ? [18:54] Semitones: try disk instead of drive then [18:54] Scrumps_, hrm.... so there's NO spaces in the share at all? on fstab or the windows box? [18:54] Doing locate smbfs, shows 5 entries. [18:54] Correct arrrghhh [18:54] xibalba: sudo fdisk -l; sudo blkid ,should help [18:54] kemmotar, honestly video editing isn't so great in linux... [18:54] Scrumps_, and you get the same error...? [18:54] You know, the one thing that makes me not want to start using ubuntu every day is that when I have a problem, I'm always directed to some page and have to waste hours trying to get shit working. I'm sure that's discouraged a lot of new people. People always just say lrn2google.. Anyways, I'm out I guess, I give up [18:54] does virtualbox have Infrastructure web access like VMware [18:54] arrgghhh, encyclopediadramatica.com/offended [18:54] ActionParsnip : what do those commands do ? [18:54] Scrumps_, did this come up : /sbin/mount.smbfs? [18:54] ActionParsnip, that works -- it shows the cdrom [18:55] arrrghhh: depends on the app (or apps used) [18:55] ActionParsnip, well recommend some to kemmotar ! [18:55] xibalba: show partitions and the UUIDs of the partitions [18:55] so how would i figure out which drive is which in the system based off of that ? [18:55] i need to remove 1 pata hdd [18:55] and trying to identify the right drive, there are 4 in the system [18:55] arrrghhh: I don't know any but if you use a few you can get where you want [18:55] ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/485063/ [18:56] WinstonSmith, no. [18:56] I am using Samba4 if that makes any difference. [18:56] Scrumps_, then do a sudo apt-get install smbfs please [18:56] Scrumps_, that may make things more difficult... any reason you're not using 3? also, have you tried putting in the server's IP instead of the hostname? [18:56] it has lots of logical names [18:57] Semitones: those /dev names are the IDs for the optical drive. It doesn't list /dev/hda for the optical drive at all [18:57] arrrghhh, smbfs is not part of samba its an extra package [18:57] ActionParsnip, so should I modify my fstab? [18:57] Semitones: yes [18:57] WinstonSmith, i did not know that... i guess i don't remember dealing with it. [18:58] Alright, installed smbfs. arrrghhh no, I just downloaded that latest one. [18:58] mount error(110): Connection timed out [18:58] Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) [18:58] However, I can still access the share through nautilus. [18:58] Scrumps_, replace the server hostname with the IP. [18:58] arrrghhh, i had this problem before ... the superblock error msg ... apt-get install smbfs fixed that [18:58] magicianlord, should I just delete the cdrom entry or change it to /dev/sr0 [18:58] hey [18:58] how are SCSI drives labeled? [18:58] anyone know the naming convention ? [18:58] Scrumps_, then do a sudo apt-get install smbfs please [18:58] like PATA /dev/hda is the 1st ide controller master [18:59] how is SCSI setup ? [18:59] WinstonSmith, already did. :) [18:59] anyone ? [18:59] Scrumps_, sry was typing [18:59] But, replacing it with the IP solved the timeout. [18:59] Scrumps_, but now yiu have got an other error? [19:00] No, it mounted, I don't know how well it will do with anything else though. I am about twenty minutes late for work. [19:00] Haha. [19:00] Thank you for the help, I will be back later. [19:01] cya [19:01] seemed like a combination of both. [19:01] Scrumps_, to solve the IP issue you have to modify the hosts file on the client. [19:01] May 24 of YR12 Waffen SS (7:8) invaded Commanding his eyes (6:31) and captured 871 acres of land. [19:01] arrrghhh, well spaces in file names never helped anybody :O [19:01] wrong window, sorry [19:02] WinstonSmith, not in linux, that's for sure.... the \040 worked for me in fstab tho. [19:02] arrrghhh, yes there a ways around it... but its so much easier to use a underscore or dot i think [19:03] WinstonSmith, i guess... i had folders that could not change - other clients were already using them, so to keep from changing all the clients, i just modified this client with that \040 trick... [19:04] anybody know how to use PuTTy? [19:04] as usual in linux, there's 30 ways to do one thing. none of them are necessairly 'wrong', just a different way of doing things. [19:04] ol in my system tray and it does not seem to be in the add-to-tray items. How do I get it back? [19:04] n0a1ias, yes, but this is an ubuntu support channel. we can help you connect to an ubuntu box perhaps? [19:04] arrrghhh, right on the spot ... 1 of the reasons why i just love it ... infinite possibilities lol [19:04] I lost the volume control [19:05] !putty | n0a1ias [19:05] n0a1ias: PuTTY is an !SSH client for Windows. Please see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage and downloads. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) [19:05] WinstonSmith, just like programming! i know that's why i love it as well. as a newbie, it's overwhelming tho. i guess that's why linux will never take over as 'the' desktop platform. [19:05] arrrghhh, im on ubuntu, connecting to ubuntu, and i keep getting connection refused errors, with default settings, and shh [19:05] ssh** [19:05] n0a1ias, putty is a windows application, and windows only. ssh is built-in to linux... [19:06] arrrghhh, yes its getting better though. but me i just love tinkering & fiddling with something :D [19:06] arrrghhh, i just di a sudo apt-get install putty [19:06] n0a1ias, now for network questions. are both ubuntu boxes (server & client) on the same LAN? [19:06] (Repeat, but not chopped-up this time) I lost the volume control in my system tray and it does not seem to be in the add-to-tray items. How do I get it back? [19:06] n0a1ias, which username do you use? [19:06] well one is on lan and the other is on wifi, to the same router [19:07] ok so same LAN. [19:07] and i guess there is a putty package for linux... but you don't need it. [19:07] wait! it worked that time. sweet [19:07] n0a1ias, do you have openssh installed on the server? [19:07] thanks for the help though [19:07] hi guys , i m on Ubuntu 10.04.1 x64 , i was trying to alter mine /etc/resolv.conf using .... $ sudo `echo "nameserver 192.168.32.254"` > /etc/resolv.conf and the error is bash: /etc/resolv.conf: Permission denied ..... however when i execute same command as ROOT , it works , why so ? [19:07] haha [19:08] lol ok [19:08] harmandeep: use sudo su first [19:08] harmandeep, why don't you just edit the file and paste it in? but the issue is permissons. [19:10] dr3af: if i running the command as SUDO , isn't the same as running the command as SUDO SU ??? [19:10] harmandeep, why do you have the backticks? [19:10] sorry , backsticks are TYPO ... [19:10] kk :) [19:11] backticks === asig is now known as Guest42917 [19:11] Hey guys [19:11] is it possible to modificate [19:11] indication applet [19:12] so that instead of Evolution mail client [19:12] dr3af: please answer ??? [19:12] I could get gmail in default browser? [19:12] harmandeep: sudo does not pass IO redirection operators. The proper command should be: echo "some text" | sudo tee /path/to/file (use tee -a to append to file) [19:12] DoubleString: http://lifehacker.com/392287/set-firefox-3-to-launch-gmail-for-mailto-links === Zer0 is now known as GrimReaper [19:13] xangua, no no no === GrimReaper is now known as z3r0 [19:13] it goes for links [19:13] not for the indicator applet [19:13] harmandeep: with sudo u get SOME permitions,but not all the power of root. [19:13] DoubleString, you could use a ff extension like webmail notifier? [19:13] Pici: is that due to the reason that REDIRECTION Operators execute first ( and their Security Context is without SUDO in mine case ) ??? [19:13] sec === z3r0 is now known as Newb1e [19:14] or you could just sync gmail with evolution DoubleString [19:14] you mean use gmail via evolution? [19:14] harmandeep: its basically that the left side of the operator executes with sudo privs, but the other side does not. [19:14] hi all [19:15] gmail has pretty much the best handling client for me [19:15] ok i have a wired connection and i need help getting my wireless internet connected using ubuntu 10.4 i can't connect to the internet with my wireless modem [19:15] !info [19:15] Retrieve information on a package: !info [19:15] with grouping emails from the same sender [19:16] i was told earlier if i have a wired connection someone could fix it [19:16] guest0001: get fully updated with: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:16] Is there a program to monitor the strength of local wireless networks?

Network manager et al will also show the signal strength graphically [19:17] how can I compile Totem from source code [19:17] and what would the cmd precisely with TWO Sudo's ( one for ECHO , other for Redirection ) for sudo `echo "nameserver 192.168.32.254"` > /etc/resolv.conf ????

[19:27] !enter | xibalba [19:27] xibalba: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:27] Im using the faenza icon theme and the most recent update of it uses the ugly gnome foot as the menu icon, can I change it? [19:27] SoulDewMan: try using the framebuffer in you boot. Or set the vga option etc. The text may centralise [19:27] is there any advantages of installing ubuntu using the alternate installer over the normal installer? [19:27] stinger05: normally if it is, you will see a notification that says it [19:27] Actionparsnip: How can I upgrade from 8.10 to 10.04 ? [19:27] crucialhoax: could find the image in the theme pack and change it [19:27] something like 'your battery old old bla bla bla' stinger05 [19:27] BigC, if you have issues with the main installer - like an old machine. [19:28] Jordan_U : can you check out the following link -- http://pastebin.com/NTFct3nw [19:28] ActionParsnip: I tried but I just screwed it up. [19:28] !eol| eriksson25 [19:28] BigC, and you won't get any live functionalities, so if you don't care about that... [19:28] eriksson25: 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 [19:28] ActionParsnip : can you check out this link ---- http://pastebin.com/NTFct3nw [19:28] anyone built Zathura pdf reader on ubuntu 10.04? or got a deb? [19:28] xibalba : it's pretty simple , i9 just want to know if /dev/sdc matches /dev/sg2 [19:28] crucialhoax: see the instructions inside the theme to customoze it [19:28] and so forth [19:28] thx, will look [19:28] eriksson25: you will need to upgrade through all the releases up to 10.04 . It'll be faster to clean install [19:28] yeah its not an old computer or anything, but i was just wondering if there were any advantages [19:29] xangua: There arent any instructions for that particular theme :/ [19:29] Jordan_U : any thoughts? [19:29] BigC, i think it may install a little quicker... but i don't think it's significant. unless the hardware is ancient. [19:29] Well, not a good option since its my server runing everything. Will update a step at a time. [19:30] ループとかリストとか積極!? [19:30] too much flows through this channel [19:30] hard to get help [19:30] ;/ [19:30] how do you get a flaming animated cursor in ubuntu? [19:30] ユーザーって何かまとまりあるイメージ。グループとかリス... トとか積極的に作ってるよね。 [19:30] no Japanese, please [19:30] eriksson25, good luck. [19:30] ok arrrghhh but my laptop is brand new, so i was just wondering [19:30] BigC, ok... it's a text-based installer... [19:30] ciao [19:30] !list [19:30] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [19:30] SoulDewMan, イメージ? [19:30] xibalba, you need to look at the output of those commands and figure it out... what do you need? you should have all the output. [19:30] !jp | jamescarr [19:30] jamescarr: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [19:31] crucialhoax: there is a readme......have you read it¿ [19:31] I can use a text based installer, I did that with Debian once, and it was pretty easy, so I'll just go and test it out now in virtual box [19:31] ok [19:31] xangua: Is it /usr/share/icons/Faenza? [19:31] arrrghhh : the onyl thing i cannot see in the output is if the /dev/sdd device matches the RAW SCSI device /dev/sg3 -- it might just be a common understanding a matches 0 , b matches 1, so on and so forth. i'mj ust trying to find a way to verify this. [19:31] arrrghhh : i hope that makes sense [19:32] xibalba, what are you trying to achieve? what are you doing exactly? i've heard you want to verify this or that, but what is it you're really trying to do? [19:32] crucialhoax: ¿¿ no idea, I just downloaded it fromdeviantart [19:32] arrrghhh : remove the right SCSI drive out of this vmware server [19:32] xibalba: means very little to me dude, sorry [19:32] xangua: Ohhh okay. I am using the ppa so Ill check it out thanks [19:32] hey guys [19:33] xibalba, you'll have to compare that output to the output of "mount" [19:33] I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 from a partition with the ubuntu installer on it. I added a GRUB entry (http://pastie.org/1122812) for it and it starts booting (I've got it fairly far I think), but it dies. Any idea what I'm messing up? [19:33] TylerSmith: if you are using an ISO on a partition, did you md5 test it? [19:34] arrrghhh : yeah that only shows it in the form of sda/sdb/etc... [19:34] ok if I use trl+Alt+F1 etc I get a black screen,if I type a command Blindly the command works. Any idea why text is not visible? [19:34] ActionParsnip: I md5'd my ISO, then mounted it and copied it to the new partition [19:34] xibalba, you have to compare them. [19:34] spiky, off the screen perhaps? [19:34] TylerSmith: copied what? [19:35] The files from the mounted image [19:35] TylerSmith: that won't work. The iso has special boot data which will be lost [19:35] TylerSmith: grub2 can boot iso files as they stand so you can do it that way [19:36] ActionParsnip: I thought so, but I thought beginning to boot was a sign it worked. [19:36] So if I just put the ISO on it I can boot from it? [19:36] Is there a program similar to iStumbler or netstumbler for linux? I want to be able to watch the strength of area WLANs over time [19:37] arrrghhh, is there a way to adjust that? [19:37] TylerSmith: yes, just the iso and reference it in grub [19:37] spiky, i would suggest checking your monitor first. most new lcd's have an 'autofit' or 'autoadjust' feature. [19:37] how do you start/stop services in ubuntu ? [19:37] i know in fedora you have the "servicE" command [19:38] Semitones, you could try wifi radar. not sure if ti does what uou want though [19:38] Semitones: kismet [19:38] xibalba, service stop/start [19:38] i dont have service installed [19:38] Semitones, i already suggested kismet [19:38] xibalba, are you on 10.04? [19:38] xibalba: It seems that the scsi device matches the device name from the /dev/disk/by-path/ output, i.e. sda is the first, sdb the second, and sdc the third. [19:38] feisty fawn [19:38] alright I'll try it :) [19:38] ActionParsnip: Awesome man thanks. I'll be back soon with results (hopefully). [19:38] Jordan_U : so SDA matches the raw scsi device /dev/sg0 ? [19:38] arrrghhh, when grub loads all is ok with that its just when I switch from desktop to prompt [19:39] xibalba, /etc/init.d/ start/stop [19:39] xibalba, it's /etc/init.d/ start/stop/etc - but that's an unsupported distro... [19:39] thanks guys [19:39] spiky, i know, i have the same problem. [19:39] yeah it's an old box [19:39] got thrown into it, helping a friend remotely via ssh [19:39] he's a windows guy and got thrown into a linux situation [19:39] xibalba: Is /dev/sdg0 an actual physical device? [19:39] ack! we supported an unsupported distro! [19:39] Jordan_U : /dev/sg* are the physical devices [19:39] hehehe [19:39] - /dev/sg0-3 [19:40] xibalba: Then I don't think you can tell for sure within the guest, you'd have to look at how vmware is mapping them and I'm not familiar with that. [19:41] how to cut/delete some timeline in audacity (audio editor)? [19:41] xibalba: You could I guess run "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdg0" and confirm that it matches /dev/sda in the guest (and that it doesn't match anything else). [19:42] wizzle: just select the region with your mouse and press delete [19:43] ok trism [19:43] wizzle: or ctrl+x for cut [19:43] any good video converter???? [19:43] mencoder? [19:43] eagleseye, avidemux is alright.. [19:43] Jordan_U : i'm in the phtysical host operating system [19:43] not a vmware guest [19:43] Hello, I am having a slight problem with my netbook. I set it to hibernate, and since then it does not wake up. :$ [19:44] maybe he's tired... [19:44] Simple_Girl, hibernate is like shutting the computer off... hit the power button to turn it on. [19:44] I did, but it does not come back [19:44] trism, do yoou have other method? i have do that. but nothing happens. [19:44] arrrghhh:thanks dude [19:44] xibalba: And you can't run "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" in the guest? [19:44] I removed the battery and reattached in 15 minutes and nothing happened [19:45] I did all the tricks, it does not want to come back [19:45] wizzle: it seems the default is ctrl+k, I may have messed with my shortcuts to make delete work [19:45] the fan blows though when I switch it on [19:45] Jordan_U : i'm not in a guest OS, [19:45] xibalba: If not, then you'll have to check your VMware settings. Try ##vmware for that. [19:45] Jordan_U : just working on a server with Vmware server [19:45] this doesn't have anything to do with vmware [19:45] Simple_Girl, so you switch it on, fan blows, nothing on the screen? is it a laptop? [19:45] i just mentioned it was running vmware-server [19:45] trism, it's ok. i'll trying. [19:45] is the battery dead? [19:45] i was just trying to find a way to correspond the disk device with the raw scsi device [19:45] arrrghhh, yes, netbook [19:46] because i know device /dev/sg0 is the first scsi disk [19:46] wizzle: all those functions are in the edit menu if the shortcuts aren't working [19:46] but does /dev/sda match up to /dev/sg0 [19:46] that seems to be the questino of the day [19:46] Simple_Girl, ok... does the backlight on the screen turn on, or is the screen just dark? [19:46] and it is apparently very confusing [19:46] sonja, the battery is full.. and it is actually charging now [19:46] arrrghhh, the screen is just dark [19:47] xibalba: Sorry, I don't know then. [19:48] arrrghhh, it's an Acer Aspire One 8.9" Netbook, with Linupus based, but I changed it to Ubuntu 10.04 a couple of months ago.. [19:48] Simple_Girl, any external screens you can try? are there any indicator lights on the laptop? [19:48] Still same Could not calculate the upgrade [19:48] An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: [19:48] Can not mark 'ubuntu-desktop' for upgrade [19:48] arrrghhh, when I switch it on, the indicators blink for a second and then no lights are on, except the power button - Green [19:49] Anyone have any idee about that error [19:49] trism, thanks for helping. [19:49] arrrghhh, The fan blows in a weird frequency, slow for 2-3 seconds, and then fast for another 2-3 seconds, repeatedly.. the HDD is not on, it does not show that any processes are going on, [19:50] eriksson25, you say it's your server... but it's running ubuntu-desktop...? [19:51] which would be more useful for downloading and testing the latest ubuntu iso's. Using Zsync or Jigdo? [19:51] n/p/part [19:51] Well, its a old setup. dont use the desktop. But havent reinstalld it since I first started with ubuntu and then I pced desktop as a beginier [19:52] "dev/disk/by-uuid/332003e4-6488-4a38-ba11-da2ce713d2d4 dosent exist." dose anyone know what i can do?

[19:58] the power connector was off, I plugged it back in, the IDE cable was always on [19:58] n0a1ias: /etc/hostname is a file, which contains the name of the computer. simply edit it with your text editor of choice [19:59] twoten if the bios did not recognized it at boot, no chance [19:59] LibertyZero, thanks [19:59] hi.

[20:00] !ask | GaToR__ [20:00] GaToR__: 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. :-) [20:00] twoten: If it's not hot pluggable you shouldn't try to hot plug it. Just reboot and hope there's no hardware damage. [20:00] Jordan_U: may I message you ? [20:01] IdleOne: Yes. [20:01] it'll be okay, the door moves in and out, I'm sure it's fine [20:02] seems that uninstalling genome.desktop did the thing. [20:02] twoten no, that is just the cp player modus, the ide is not recognized so all it can do is play music now. [20:02] Alright then, sorry. I recently got a Dell Studio 15 laptop with Windows 7, and I today installed Ubuntu 10.04.1. The installation went fine, and it booted fine as well. I dualbooted Ubuntu with Windows 7. I booted Windows 7, and later shut down. I restarted the computer and the GRUB bootloaded didn't appear, and all I got was _ as if it was waiting for a CD to load(but none was in).

I'm going back to winblows [20:04] GaToR__: Your message was cut off at "it's just doing the". [20:04] Sorry, it's just doing the blinking as if it's searching to boot from a CD.

Sound dont works, but using the live cd of maverik it works! what can I try ? [20:06] GaToR__: Try holding shift at boot, if you see "GRUB" before the blinking cursor then you're probably running into http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~cjwatson/blosxom/2010/08/28#2010-08-28-windows-applications-making-grub2-unbootable [20:06] how to save the project from audacity into mp3 mode [20:07] Alright, I'll try.

[20:08] thanks [20:08] ximal: www.canonical.com has that # [20:08] GaToR__: You're welcome, if you do decide to get the information he asks for using dd make sure that you copy down the command carefully. dd can be dangerous if you make a mistake.

[20:09] Jordan_U: I take it there is no way I could just not use Ubuntu on this PC and just use Windows? Or since I already did this, I'm forced to do this? === 31NABCMDC is now known as uRock [20:10] GaToR__: You can put a microsoft style mbr back from an Ubuntu liveCD if you want. That will allow you to boot windows without issues but you'll no longer be able to boot into Ubuntu. [20:11] GaToR__: Would you like me to walk you through doing that? [20:11] Yes, that would be great. [20:11] Thanks :D [20:11] GaToR__: Are you booted into a liveCD on that machine right now? [20:11] I am, yes. [20:12] Hi.. does anyone know how to control the options that FUSE gives to encfs when trying to mount an encrypted filesystem? [20:12] GaToR__: Ok, run "sudo apt-get install mbr" then "sudo install-mbr /dev/sda". [20:12] As it seems that encfs is complaining that allow_root and allow_other are mutually exclusive. [20:13] I need to drop one of the options. [20:13] So I can mount manually, but FUSE won't. :-( [20:13] Alright, done. [20:14] Jordan_U: Is that, all, or more? Nothing is ever that easy :P [20:15] GaToR__: That should do it :) [20:15] to hack somebody? [20:16] Jordan_U: Alright, I'll let you know what happens. :D [20:16] lol [20:16] if iam in the failsafe mode and it says i should choose what i want as a root and is giving me alternative dev/sda1,2,5,6,7 and non what should i use?

So need to compile... [20:21] I'm not able to find these package in repository. Can you help me [20:22] vipinb: i suppose you will also need to compile the latest version of gstreamer [20:22] vipinb, where did you get the source for totem? from the repos? [20:22] uhm hi i looked up on the internet that i can get help with ubuntu here, i cant seem to log onto any websites or save anything for that matter.

[20:24] vipinb, no i mean if you have the source from the repos all necessary dependencies should be there too but if you use source from their website for example it may have other dependencies like xangua said eg a new version of gstreamer [20:24] when i try to log onto a website my laptop tells me this An error occurred during a connection to www.deviantart.com.

I'm finding it's a bigger pain than the decreased power usage, but how do I disable it? Running ubuntu 10.04.

I got Info: Boot selection not available [20:27] :s [20:27] i still hear no sound [20:27] harry4: install ubuntu-desktop [20:27] alle opfer haben gelitten [20:28] !german [20:28] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[20:29] vipinb, and if it says you need gstreamer-0.10 >= 0.10.26 you dont look for gstreamer-0.10 . you install just the newest gstreamer you can find [20:29] harry4: actually you might be able to just do startx [20:30] vipinb: normally you download the source with "apt-get source totem" and get all build dependencies with "apt-get build-dep totem" [20:30] hi, can i install gparted and resize a partition, which i've mounted for /home?

[20:31] (Permanently, and for a single boot) [20:32] harry4 yes [20:32] !nox | harry4 [20:32] harry4: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [20:32] traskmind, as I recall, it's not a good idea to directly edit grub. what do you need to do? [20:32] WinstonSmith, is it available in ubuntu repository? [20:32] arrrghhh, take usbcore.autosuspend off. And I'd like to edit it on boot next time to profile my boot. [20:32] rockhopper: gprated is [20:32] gparted* [20:33] traskmind, ok, so you edit /etc/default/grub [20:33] rockhopper, http://partedmagic.com/download.html it is a live cd where you boot from and then resize your partitions. be sure to backup all your sensitive data first! [20:33] IdleOne: please tell me you have a few moments sir ? I'm trying to adjust the axis of 708mm x 398mm to a lower setting so my screen isn't larger than my tv actual viewing screen [20:33] traskmind, you may want to check out this page - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [20:34] arrrghhh, no, I need to edit the menu. The kernel line specifically. I used to know where it is in Grub1 but Grub2 has completely different configuration options.. [20:34] how do I get files from my virtual machine onto the normal ubuntu file system? [20:34] traskmind, i told you where to edit the menu. read that doc, there's a grub.cfg file but it s NOT to be edited. [20:34] Where does Songbird file its playlists? I need to import them into Amarok14. [20:35] odd i still hear no sound. [20:35] IdleOne: - i would say that gparted from anything other than partedmagic should be depreciated [20:35] traskmind, you may want to skip to the 'configuring grub 2' section. [20:35] does anyone know how to change the axis for hd tv's ? [20:35] traskmind, /etc/default/grub [20:35] traskmind, hit left shift to get the menu on screen, then arrow to the selection you want to edit and press "e" to go into edit mode. When ready to boot, press ctrl-x. [20:35] Hmm, so I can have a grub option for vanila ubuntu and one for CLI - awesome :-D [20:36] traskmind, look for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT [20:36] traskmind, be sure to run update-grub after that [20:37] WinstonSmith, is there any difference between that and the update-grub2 command...? [20:37] traskmind, what I sent you was for a one-time edit. [20:37] jk_, thank you that's what I was looking for because I've noticed "e" doesn't work anymore. How do I do a permanent edit? [20:37] Hi All I have a problem apt is broken [20:37] error message is: [20:38] traskmind, you edit grub in /etc/default/grub as we've been asying. [20:38] saying [20:38] arrrghhh, not sure i just used update-grub all the time [20:38] !enter | rkvirani [20:38] rkvirani: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[20:38] traskmind, modify /etc/default/grub as WinstonSmith told you [20:38] ok let me go put it on pastebin. [20:38] traskmind, look for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT [20:38] arrrghhh, WinstonSmith, jk_, okay, I see it now, everything looks different from what I remember >_< [20:38] WinstonSmith, it always freaked me out there were two, and i've always used the 2 version of the update-grub command.. [20:38] http://pastebin.ca/1927908 [20:38] traskmind, yes... it's very different from what is now called grub 'legacy' [20:39] im outta here.. yall hae fun.. peace [20:39] arrrghhh, i have to say that editing grub used to be waaaaay easier ;( [20:39] The problem I have having with apt is here: http://pastebin.ca/1927908 [20:39] with grub 1 [20:39] WinstonSmith, yes... yes it did. [20:39] can anyone say, is it hard to create lvm after ubuntu install ? So i have 4 drives, after install i want to make them in raid 10 + lvm. Will it be difficult ? [20:39] WinstonSmith: it got even more convoluted? [20:39] damn [20:39] WinstonSmith, but, with grub2 i haven't really had to edit it. [20:40] ? [20:40] Any ideas on the apt- thing [20:40] the error message doesnt tell me alot [20:40] arrrghhh, now its kind of .... well confusing.... before it was a matter of editing menu.lst and you are done [20:40] should I delete /var/lib/dpkg/status? [20:40] rkvirani, what are you running? what command? could you paste your sources.list? [20:40] how to fix the ubicode letters in conky?? [20:40] arrrghhh, I've edited the 40_custom file in /etc/grub.d to get my color back into the menu. Not difficult, just VERY different from grub legacy. [20:40] WinstonSmith, oh i know. it is odd, but like i said i haven't had to edit anything since grub2. i just remove old stuff from /boot when i test that the new stuff is good, then update-grub2 and i'm done. [20:41] jk_: new style eases automatic configurationn [20:41] jk_, yes... very different indeed. but now you can have pretty backgrounds on grub lol [20:41] one more thing - if I append 'text' (and 'nosplash') to the kernel in the grub menu, firstly, will it be permanent or is it each time I boot, and secondly, if I boot to text, can I start gdm manually? or is it like rescue mode? [20:41] eeeeeeeeee [20:41] arrrghhh, yes me too i really dont understand why it got MORE complicated??? [20:42] how to fix the ubicode letters in conky?? [20:42] what's conky? [20:42] WinstonSmith, it seems everything has. the new systemV scripts for startup or whatever seem way more confusing than /etc/init.d... but ubuntu always did funky things with startup scripts. [20:42] text overlay on desktop for system monitoring [20:42] text overlay on desktop for system monitoring nogo [20:42] nogo, goolge is your friend. it's for system monitoring. [20:42] harry4, if you append them in /etc/default/grub it will be permanent. If you do it using "e" at the grub menu it will be one time only. [20:42] lol google mayhaps. [20:43] arrrghhh, well all systems have this tendency to get more and more complicated :( [20:43] i happened to know it but i just go away because i know it's a chinese project [20:43] jk_ thanks - what's the file called? (I know it was just discussed, but I wasn't paying attention to that.... :-/ oops) [20:43] so i enabled the restricted video drivers and now my display doesn't work on boot [20:43] WinstonSmith, more code... more complication. in the end they're trying to make things easier to administer, we just have to learn the new ways. some decisions like putting landscape on a server make no damned sense, but that's off-topic. [20:43] even in 'recovery mode' [20:43] harry4, and yes you can start gdm manually [20:43] i have now been trying to install ubuntu i 11h 40m without success, thouht it would be easyier than windows [20:43] :/ [20:43] arrrghhh: http://pastebin.ca/1927909 [20:44] thepckid [20:44] rkvirani, you never mentioned what command you're running that causes the first error... [20:44] sources.list is fine. [20:45] so i cannot believe noone use it and hasn't utf locale what can be reason? [20:45] WinstonSmith thanks - sounds like a plan :-) (now if only I could get my laptop's wifi to auto connect on wakeup/open) [20:45] crunchbang, you may have better luck in #ubuntu-server... [20:45] i'm guessing i could boot with an ubuntu install cd and edid the config on my harddrive.. any idea where the setting is stored to use the proprietary graphics driver? [20:45] harry4, the file to make it permanent is /etc/default/grub and you need root permission to edit it. after saving your changes run "sudo update-grub" to make them take effect. [20:45] harry4, np your welcome :) does your wifi connect? [20:46] hi [20:46] WinstonSmith, it connects, but only manually (my ssid is not broadcast and I have WPA2) [20:47] arrrghhh: apt-get update [20:47] jk_ the file itslef is 'grub' === Sup|Lobby is now known as Sup|Away [20:47] jk_ in that dir? easy - thanks again! [20:47] harry4, yep, that's it and it really is that easy. you're quite welcome. [20:48] rkvirani, looks like a permissons thing.... does it persist after reboot? [20:48] harry4, 1st not broadcasting does not give you more security. 2nd if you click on the wifi symbol>wireless is your network there? if you edit it does it have the connect automatically ticked? [20:48] can someone help me with file sharing on a network? [20:49] !ask | Thqrmt [20:49] Thqrmt: 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. :-) [20:49] fixed it [20:49] arrrghhh: I deleted the package libntfs10 [20:49] I know, I did and it was ignored 2x but I will now [20:49] shouldn't 'recovery mode' not enable the restricted drivers, or even try to start gdm? [20:49] Thqrmt: just askk [20:49] I'm trying to xfer files from virtual windows to the ubuntu section of my drive [20:49] just not sure how [20:49] I have winscp on the virtual machine [20:50] Thqrmt: ftp [20:50] arrrghhh: gah it will update but I cant install anything [20:50] Thqrmt, install the guest additions in the VM then you can use shared folders [20:50] yeah I have the guest additions installed [20:50] how do I access that from ubuntu? I get errors [20:50] rkvirani, now why would you go and do a thing like that? haha! i think apt-get install -f command or something that repairs... [20:50] cannot retrieve list form server/couldn't mount whatever [20:50] Thqrmt, ok then click on the folder symbol at the bottom of the VM window and configure a shared folder [20:51] Thqrmt: you share folder onn linux host [20:51] Thqrmt: and access fero m win guest [20:51] Thqrmt, Set up a shared folder between the VM and the host, then in the VM open a network connection to that shared folder. You can then open the host folder in Windows, and drag-and-drop files across the barrier. [20:51] Thqrmt, they appear in windows networking > virtualbod shared folders [20:51] lol [20:51] arrrghhh: there was corruption in the status file [20:51] WinstonSmith I was getting pinged every 30-90 secs (by a neighbor, I'm guessing) and when I turned off bssid it stopped (then I put a 14 char alphanumeric with symbols just to be sure lol) And yes, it shows up, I don't have to re-enter pw or anything, it remembers the network, and it's on autoconnect, but it doesn't. (Crunchbang has no problem with it, but that's not 10.04... Koala worked fine btw) [20:51] a bunch of @ signs [20:51] gang troubleshooting. [20:51] Hello, I am trying to install either Lightening or Sunbird. I can't get Lightening to work because it is not compatible with the version of Thunderbird I am using, I am not able to figure out how to change to a compatible version so I decided to install Sunbird. I downloaded sunbird-1.0b1.tar.bz2 but I do not understand how to install it. [20:52] arrrghhh: just reinstalling ntfsprogs now to get the entry back [20:52] harry4, if you use WPA2 with a strong (20 chars or so ) [20:52] paswd you are quite safe [20:52] harry4, did you try enable broadcasting to see if it helps? [20:53] rkvirani, you seem to have all sorts of weird issues... don't be mucking in things you don't understand! i've broken the hell out of my system before because of newbie permission adjustments (it was several years ago :P) [20:53] I did not, but I will do that... (it's in my dropdown menu, though... and when I click it, it connects....) [20:53] WinstonSmith when I try to add a shared folder it won't let me "OK" is greyed out. there already are 2 folders "Machine Folders and Transient Folders" [20:53] harry4, i think you can configure an entry in /etc/network/interfaces for the wifi. kinda tricky, but it should force it. [20:53] anyone use avast! AV? I just installed it and tried updating the sigs, it crashed half way in and now when I try to open it, it says "an error occurred in avast! engine: invalid argument" then just exits out. [20:54] intok, you're in an ubuntu chat room... [20:54] what for "bootable flag" option in partition manager ? If i create partition for /boot, so only it should have this flag ? [20:54] arrrghhh that's probably what I need to do.... I've heard that other people have had this problem too, though (I've since moved to #! for now, but maybe 10.4.1 fixed this? idk [20:54] Thqrmt, did you click on the folder icon with the + sign? [20:54] Thqrmt, Double-click on Machine Folders and then select Others and browse. [20:54] discozohan: if you have windows, your windows partition should have it. linux doesnt care [20:55] * rkvirani is installing skype [20:55] Hey any good docs on installing git? [20:55] rkvirani, isn't there a deb for that? [20:55] git and skype [20:55] arrrghhh: .dev yeah but the apt is telling me there is a more updated version in my repos [20:55] ahh, the 'nomodeset' option gets me a non blank screen, sweet [20:55] in grub [20:55] rkvirani, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Git [20:55] jk_ double clicking doesn't do anything [20:55] there is probably a deb for it Im sure but I want to learn how to use the silly thing D [20:56] arrrghhh yes, Avast! has a free linux version for you to be able to scan for viruses from linux [20:56] WinstonSmith the only folder I see has no plus sign [20:56] maco: oh, ok, but in official ubuntu tutorial about raid installation there is a row about making bootable flag on, hmm :/ [20:56] Discozohan from my experience that is where you set the boot flag. Recently I'm getting lazy and just using one / partition so that's where my boot flag is, but you can always change it if you screw up with something like partedmagic or trinity rescue linux [20:56] Thqrmt, try highlighting Machine Folders and hitting the + button to add. [20:56] intok, the only antivirus software that runs in linux that i've heard is worth anything is clamav - and that's only for scanning for windows viruses like if the linux box is a file, mail or ftp server.... [20:57] jk_ machine folders cannot be highlighted [20:57] Thqrmt, you are sure you installed guest additions? and the icon i mean is on the right side if the shared folders window [20:57] arrrghhh which is allot more effective then trying to scan from within windows or from some outdated boot cd [20:57] discozohan: oh i dont know if its different for RAID, i just know that on a boring install, you can have none of them marked bootable, and GRUB will still do the right thing [20:57] WinstonSmith fairly sure. It had me reboot but didn't appear to do anything after that. Should I reinstall? [20:57] intok, really? is that your professional opinion? [20:57] maco: ok, thanks [20:57] arrrghhh: intok is right. windows viruses can hide while windows is running. they cant hide while its off and linux is running [20:57] arrrghhh well I've had lots of luck with avast in the past, I usually use both clam and avast, just to be through [20:58] Thanks for the help, jk_ WinstonSmith ximal IdleOne much appreciated! [20:58] Thqrmt, in your VM near the clock do you have an virtualbox icon? [20:58] Peace - Outside!!! [20:58] arrrghhh: one of the ubuntu core-devs is maintaining clam-av in ubuntu to ensure that the latest sigs are quickly available in the repo [20:58] harry4, np [20:58] yes WinstonSmith [20:59] maco, true... but if you're running windows, nothing will replace something that actively watches like nod32. [20:59] maco, i recommended clamav as well... [20:59] i need a little help amarok wont run due to some undefined symbol in libGL.so.1 [21:00] arrrghhh: i dont think ive ever had anything that actively watched... symantec and mcafee just do a daily scan, dont they? [21:00] exit [21:00] How do i get all the files for emacs23 so i can build from sourcecode? [21:01] ? [21:01] maco, really? depends on the version/type, but most of the better ones have some sort of active hooks into the OS. symantec corporate does, nod32 does, i haven't used any norton product since 2004 but they did back then... i've never used mcafee [21:01] Thqrmt, Machine Folders won't get the highlight bar but it will get a "focus box" around it. When you have that, click the topmost of the three buttons on the RH side of the dialog, and you should get another dialog to select and add the folder. Be sure to check it as permanent but not as read-only, if you want to write into it. [21:01] Thqrmt, look here : http://imagebin.org/111799 [21:01] Thqrmt, you dont have that button? [21:01] what is the best partition type fpr lubuntu. will ext2 be OK. I have just used Gparted to format drive. [21:01] hello does anyone know how to download alll the files so i can download emacs23 from sourcecode. [21:01] jk_, you dont even need to focus just clicking add suffices [21:01] arrrghhh: *shrug* ive never had an AV alert me "something is trying to get in" (for that i'd use an IDS like Snort) just "something is already in" [21:01] stwobe, ext3 or 4. i wouldn't use 2. [21:02] ah === Riqoshea_ is now known as Riqoshea [21:02] WinstonSmith after pressing it I get a dialog to add a folder and select a path and all that. No matter what I do, the "OK" button is unclickable [21:02] hello! [21:02] Hey how do I uninstall my nividia sound card [21:02] stwobe: 2 cant recover from a bad shutdown [21:02] i need a little help amarok wont run due to some undefined symbol in libGL.so.1 anyone know how to fix this? [21:02] shall icarry on with install. what would happen with ext2 arrrghhh? [21:02] discozohan: unplug it? [21:02] ok [21:02] Thqrmt, what folder are you choosing? inside your home folder? [21:02] maco, it's more for like scanning a file before it's finished officially downloading, that type of thing. like i said, there's proactive hooks in the system. [21:02] thanks. this channel rocks [21:02] stwobe, nothing bad necessairly, it's just an older, non-journaled FS. [21:02] stwobe: you can upgrade from ext2 to ext3 later [21:03] ok [21:03] maco: unplug what? -.- [21:03] WinstonSmith yes [21:03] discozohan: the card [21:03] Thqrmt, hmmm gimme a minute [21:03] discozohan: to uninstall a PCI or USB card... you yank it out [21:04] maco: you're supposed to remove the drivers first, in windows [21:04] maco: hmm, i think you wanted to write it to another person, not me ;) [21:04] magicianlord, not really... and we're not talking about windows in here ;) [21:05] Please help me with system recovery, tried to upgrade to lucid via ssh and my connection died, now it wont boot. i can get in via install cd and run dpkg --configure -a but if fails with "could not find image (/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-server" [21:05] arrrghhh: yes [21:05] Thqrmt, do you have any spaces in those folders or in the name you gave the shared folder? [21:05] I have 2 modules of sound card, one intel and the other nvidia, and both of them are listed as snd_hda_intel under cat /proc/asound/module. How do I uninstall the nividia sound module ?

The two commands you gave me to let me boot into Windows, is there an equivalent that would allow me to boot linux? [21:11] then if my mic is not working, it shouldn't have a role in that I guess [21:12] disappearedng_: probably not, since hdmi is for output [21:12] maco: so how would you go about testing for mic no input ? [21:12] I have been googling for so long [21:12] never really substantial [21:12] Jordan_U, GaToR__ what win versions does that mbr support? I know it dont support win7.. [21:13] Ah [21:13] No wonder why it didn't work for me [21:13] :P [21:13] duffydack: All windows versions, it's the PBR code that's version specific. [21:13] disappearedng_: id double check with pavucontrol that the right device is set for input and then try to use the mic. if the little bars in pavucontrol that show how much input its getting arent moving and you have mic and micboost at 100%, file a bug on the linux package. [21:13] hi to all [21:13] hey guys, just upgraded 9.4 -> 10.4 but the router and other machines don't see it's hostname anymore- minor annoyance but any suggestion? [21:13] GaToR__: Do you have more than one hard drive? [21:13] ok will do thx [21:13] Jordan_U: It didn't work for me, as far as I know. But as asked before, is there a way for me to boot back into Windows with another terminal command? [21:14] He there, someone tell me plz bout my problem. When im talking on skype, peoples hearing all sounds on my pc(video\music), im using headphones. (UBUNTU 10.04). [21:14] Is there a program available that can convert sheet music to tablature? [21:14] kenthree: can you change it [21:15] by editing the 2 files? the old name is still there [21:16] Jordan_U, PBR? What do I need to make it work on win7? It did not, just now. [21:16] MrBingo, i think you need to explore the sound options in the notification tray [21:16] duffydack: It didn't work for you, or are you just referring to GaToR__'s problem? [21:16] Jordan_U, not for me. [21:17] GaToR__: duffydack: Could you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? [21:17] Jordan_U, I just tried it on a win7/ubuntu. [21:17] duffydack: What did happen? [21:17] Jordan_U, got the windows screen saying a problem booting, and to details on how to fix it... [21:18] Jordan_U, this was just a guest vm, I was curious about it. [21:19] duffydack: Interesting. [21:20] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/Y11ZVd2G [21:22] hey when i try to rename my computer it says i dont have write permissions, how do i get them? [21:22] GaToR__: And when you boot you get a grub menu? That is verry odd (according to that output you don't have grub installed anywhere). [21:23] Jordan_U: I just redid the commands you gave me before I did the output [21:23] It could have worked this time [21:23] n0a1ias, sudo [21:23] GaToR__: Try again and see what happens. [21:23] Jordan_U: Before I do, is there some way to boot into ubuntu? [21:23] hi [21:23] duffydack, so i do it thrue terminal? [21:24] whats the coad?

[21:25] H4kB0x, use grub if you want multiple os', and if so, install ubuntu last [21:25] duffydack, so i do it thrue terminal? whats the imput? [21:25] n0alias: thanks [21:26] multiple OS from within or in general? [21:26] i mean within as virtually [21:26] H4kB0x, in general [21:26] ok [21:27] GaToR__: You would need to re-install grub, but whatever windows program clobbered grub before will likely do it again each time you boot windows. [21:27] Jordan_U: How would I reinstall grub? Live CD sudo apt-get install grub? [21:27] n0a1ias, sudo hostname yourhostname [21:27] thanks [21:27] it would not let me continue installing unless i selected "continue without installing GRUB" [21:27] n0a1ias, or gksu gedit /etc/hostname and change it [21:28] !grub2 | GaToR__ [21:28] GaToR__: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10.

I took 2 drives and installed ubuntu. So, i created 2 partitions on each drive, one for swap and another for root. Installed raid, so md0 and md1 appeared. After installation i cant boot ...

[22:12] Habstinat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Authentication Tab is the closest I can get, but basically just use apt-key [22:12] yup [22:12] mcl0vin sounds like a resolution issue, but idk not intimate with virtualbox [22:12] discozohan: you need a boot partition, but I wouldn't recommend it to be on your raid setup. Keep it outside of the raid partitions. [22:13] Arthur___: what do you use to play it? [22:13] jrib, Ok, I'll try that. [22:13] i can record audio in sound recorder and play back yes [22:13] discozohan: RAID5? [22:13] mostly for audo i use rythmbox [22:13] flan_suse: raid1 with 2 drives [22:13] Arthur___: open ryhthmbox and then run lsof | grep rhythmbox [22:13] if you do not have lsof installed, install it [22:14] discozohan: I'm surprised that you could even partition your drives without one, unless you purposely deleted it...

I can make an installtion with lvm, but can't without. A lot of unpredictable behaviours :/ [22:20] I just made many long over due ubuntu updates and restarted my system. I have a Full Disk Encryption LUKS encrypted disk that wouldn't boot upon restart and instead brought me to some basic install/rescue screen. There were 2 other drives as well, neither one encrypted, one flash usb and one large external usb drive, attached to the computer when I restarted it that also wouldn't mount when I tried to plug them into another ubuntu system. [22:20] The error message they gave when my system tryed to auto mount them was, eg, "Unable to mount 2.0 GB Filesystem", "Unauthorized". I've been able to mount them using fsck but still have the problem with the LUKS install. [22:21] WinstonSmith: guntbert thank you [22:21] Arthur___: heh, that didn't help because rhythmbox uses libraries to actually access the sound device woops [22:21] mcl0vin, welcome [22:21] i also have another question...running ubuntu remix, how can i make it look like regular ubuntu [22:21] turn off the menu that is on the left forexample on the desktop [22:21] erUSUL, i'm trying to sign ubuntu code of conduct [22:22] anyone know how to debug virtualbox-ose crashing my computer when I tryand boot up a vm off of a CD?

[22:22] should be a command from terminal to tell what the audio device is? like /dev/? [22:22] pjz: ask in #vbox please [22:23] Is it normal for a RAID5 array (mdadm) to build at a speed of 4 MB/s?

[22:51] greezmunkey, thanks. I've got to run and pick up my fiance. [22:51] And it didn't work. [22:51] Gnea: can i upgrade it with the livecd ? [22:51] greezmunkey, thanks again [22:51] It worked on 2 servers, but not the third [22:51] they booted geraD10000 [22:51] Greyscale: be more specific and provide more details... [22:51] JEEB: np :) [22:51] veryhappy: you can't go direct like that anyway, you'd have to upgrade to 9.10 first, then to 10.04 [22:51] mcl0vin I dont remember how to fix that one xD sorry, gl [22:51] heh [22:51] Greyscale: the link from ubottu contained two steps, you need them both [22:52] jrib, did "echo 'liberty' > /etc/hostname; reboot" [22:52] geraD100, = /bin/verydumb [22:52] important would be for me that i get ubuntu 10.04.1 running [22:52] Greyscale: cat /etc/hostname [22:52] thats my actually problem [22:52] enough about the spammer, please [22:52] WinstonSmith: he's probably sleping at his keyboard. [22:52] madfox: you know what its called so i can search for it :D [22:52] sleeping [22:52] WinstonSmith: hes banned :P [22:52] jrib, as soon as the machine is back I will [22:52] Gnea: /dev/hda1: recovering journal [22:53] what does this mean? [22:53] dominicdinada, well i DO hope he stays that :@ [22:53] persona non-gratta [22:53] mcl0vin nope, I just remember dealing with it once playing around with different settings, but I cant seem to find where i did that [22:53] bindi: it means just that: it's recovering the journal portion of the filesystem from a bad reboot [22:53] but he is welcome to loco-kingston [22:53] ya don no [22:53] d-eee: grata* [22:53] Gnea: well, the machine has 350d uptime [22:53] WinstonSmith: Me as well [22:53] Gnea: so i doubt it's a bad reboot [22:53] Hi everyone! First of all I want to thank you all for creating this community :) Love it! [22:54] LjL: true. thanks ;) [22:54] I've got a problem with some external drives. I have to manually mount them using sudo every time i connect them and then use sudo when I do any operations. It used to mount manually and not require sudo for operations like copying files or renaming. [22:54] Gnea: Error reading block 7557549 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while reading directory block. Ignore error? [22:54] dominicdinada, i always wished for the ability to punch somebody over tcp/ip [22:54] Hi [22:54] Greyscale: ok. And don't forget ubottu's note about /etc/hosts [22:54] I use Ubuntu on my PC. :P Isn't that legal? [22:54] Joose, bindi: with 350 days, anything could go wrong with the hardware. it needs to be booted with a livecd, then fscked without being mounted to fix the errors, then booted normally once those errors have all been properly addressed. [22:54] Tor, does it have to be used via Firefox? [22:54] jrib, just updated the other two [22:55] one didn't have it, the other did [22:55] WinstonSmith: can always use other means :) but me as well [22:55] Greyscale: you are being vague [22:55] Gnea: can i make a md5sum of my whole ubuntu cd to check the difference? [22:55] Joose, bindi: run it like this: sudo fsck -y /dev/hda1 [22:55] d-eee the proggy tor? nope [22:55] madfox: yes [22:55] veryhappy: what would be the point of that? [22:55] hi ubunters !! [22:55] jrib, "liberty" won't take the change, "donau" didn't have a line in /etc/hosts and "bretonia" worked as described [22:55] d-eee you can tor other apps on the command line by just running tor proggy [22:55] Joose: I should probably ask, is it ext3 or ext4? [22:56] Hello? [22:56] I've got a problem with some external drives. I have to manually mount them using sudo every time i connect them and then use sudo when I do any operations. It used to mount manually and not require sudo for operations like copying files or renaming. [22:56] Whatever, so this is legal then. [22:56] jrib, liberty & dona are 10.04, bretonia is jaunty [22:56] Gnea: ext3 :( [22:56] d-eee like say nmap, but it only works on full connections [22:56] ... [22:56] Greyscale: what are troubleshooting now? [22:56] madfox: ok, command line. thankx [22:56] !hello | HeadshotDaniel [22:56] HeadshotDaniel: 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! [22:56] umm, what? [22:56] i want to know something [22:56] I use ubuntu 9.10... I used 10.04 LTS before but switched back due to USB error etc. I wonder how safe it is to switch to 10.04 again? [22:56] pie_time: check your fstab file. [22:56] HeadshotDaniel: Do you have a ubuntu support question? [22:56] HeadshotDaniel: why wouldn't it be legal? [22:56] Gnea: if the md5sum of the cd is not same with the iso [22:56] pie_time: is it in fstab? do you have write permissions to the folder you mount it to? what mount options do you give it? [22:56] Yes I do. [22:56] the cd is damaged [22:56] Legal question, too. [22:56] HeadshotDaniel: Please ask it. [22:57] Is it legal to install Ubuntu/Linux on any platform? [22:57] "Is running Linux legal?" [22:57] w [22:57] what [22:57] Headshot I studied my share of law :) go for it [22:57] is it possible to play urban terror with bots ( single mode ) ? [22:57] PC, Mac, Portable/handheld etc? [22:57] Headshot lol ones you own or have permission to do so yeah... [22:57] HeadshotDaniel: if you own the hardware it is. [22:57] legal questions should be asked of lawyers... [22:57] HeadshotDaniel: any plataform is too broad. we do not know what will Apple do next ;P [22:57] veryhappy: uhm, the cd itself should have a self-verification process. yes, the md5sum of the cd itself is going to be different from the iso anyway, so no, that would not be a good measurement method. [22:57] HeadshotDaniel, yes. Ubuntu & Linux in general are licenced freely [22:57] you can do most anything you want as a private citizen as you can possibly imagine [22:58] I installed PC on Mac and Ubuntu on PC and Linux on Xbox. [22:58] gets a bit more interesting once you try selling things [22:58] lol :P [22:58] Ok, ok greyscale [22:58] greezmunkey, VCoolio its not in fstab i have write permissions in the folder i want to mnt i on and i dont give it any mount options [22:58] HeadshotDaniel: it's legal as long as the device in question isn't owned by someone else that specifically forbids the replacing of the OS in writing. [22:58] I also heard Nintendo DS runs on linux [22:58] HeadshotDaniel: This topic is better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic. [22:58] ok [22:58] Headshot PC=anything that runs on the x86 architecture [22:58] What? [22:58] what madfox? [22:58] Gnea: exactly ;) [22:58] :) [22:58] I didnt quite get it? [22:58] I know what x86 is though [22:59] HeadshotDaniel Windows ISNT PC windows is windows [22:59] pie_time: mount -o user,rw or to have it mounted automatically once you click it in the file manager put it in /etc/fstab [22:59] Whats the deal with doing './program' what does that mean? run program in current directory? [22:59] madfox: sparcs also run linux legally [22:59] Im afraid to do the upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04... has it become more stable yet? [22:59] cyborgsmurf: yes, it has. [22:59] Gnea: /dev/hda1: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** /dev/hda1: ***** REBOOT LINUX ***** /dev/hda1: 32998/2510032 files (1.9% non-contiguous), 505723/10036600 blocks [22:59] HeadshotDaniel Modern macs use the x86 intel too and thereby are PCs [22:59] Joose: good job. [22:59] madfox: your statement is flawed. [22:59] Oh, so Macs ARE PC's still... [22:59] Gnea: what about the USB-stick probs it had? [23:00] sudo rm -rf / [23:00] op! [23:00] Gnea keyword modern macs the old ones run on PowerPC === nn3 is now known as S3cs [23:00] i just dont know why my notebook always hangs after init: ureadahead-other main process (1025)&(1026) terminated with status 4 [23:00] madfox: but it's not illegal to run linux on a powerpc [23:00] Gnea I never said it wasn't [23:00] IdleOne: you could see that coming a mile away! [23:00] c|oneman, if you just type 'program' your PATH will be searched and if your current directory is not in the path, the p [23:01] c [23:01] HeadshotDaniel: no they do not have any legacy stuff pc's still carry. they jumped to EFI and left BIOS behind [23:01] Gnea: what about flash issues? [23:01] c|oneman, program will not be found. ./program says run program IN current directory [23:01] madfox: okay, I just re-read what you said earlier that I missed, sorry [23:01] Gnea np :) [23:01] :) [23:01] zzzed_: okay, thanks. Glad you found your pipe, too. [23:02] cyborgsmurf: usb stick? flash? ? [23:02] i have a file full of .rar's with ebooks in em and i only wanny keep the .pdf's not .txt out of the rars can i do that in a terminal? [23:02] jeffrey_: yes [23:02] jeffrey_: yup [23:03] jeffrey_: yeah but good luck :) that takes a bit of know-how with specific terminal progs [23:03] !pm | jeffrey_ [23:03] jeffrey_: without decompressing them ? or what you really asking? with file you meant folder right?

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [23:04] VCoolio, can i ask you another question, related? [23:04] well I gtg Ill help out again later peeps! [23:04] pie_time: sure; but address the whole channel, more chance of being lucky [23:04] madfox, cya [23:04] I just made many long over due ubuntu updates and restarted my system. I have a Full Disk Encryption LUKS encrypted disk that wouldn't boot upon restart and instead brought me to some basic install/rescue screen. There were 2 other drives as well, neither one encrypted, one flash usb and one large external usb drive, attached to the computer when I restarted it that also wouldn't mount when I tried to plug them into another ubuntu system. [23:04] The error message they gave when my system tryed to auto mount them was, eg, "Unable to mount 2.0 GB Filesystem", "Unauthorized". I've been able to mount them using fsck but still have the problem with the LUKS install. [23:05] Gnea: what about the problem that i have that could have to do with the message sensors will be loaded? [23:05] Gnea: always after i got the message the system is hanging [23:06] hello! [23:06] pie_time: I don't know about encryption and stuff; but to be authorized to mount the disk needs to be in /etc/fstab and the user must be able to mount (you set that in the fstab line) === richard is now known as Guest46292 === b_ is now known as _b_ [23:07] <_b_> hi [23:07] pie_time: paste your /etc/fstab file http://paste.ubuntu.com [23:07] VCoolio, is the fstab in the mbr? because i cant access it unless its outside the encrypted system [23:07] Hello, I am attempting to install postfix via terminal with "sudo apt-get install postfix" I am stuck on the first blue screen where I select mail server config it gives me some options and an below [23:08] What do I press/type to continue?

[23:16] tripelb: yes. [23:16] tripelb: absolutely [23:16] SupraMKIII: Is it booted up now? If so try alt+F2 - see if you get a console screen. [23:16] Someone had told me to try Ctrl+alt+F2, which did nothing. I'll start the laptop now and try just Alt+F2 though. [23:17] hi ActionParsnip, that would get around my CD-drive problem. (I can install Windows XP form the CD drive but Ubuntu fails, 10.04 and 9.04) [23:17] greezmunkey: alt-F2 bring up a run application box [23:17] SupraMKIII: my bad, it is ctrl+alt+f2, sorry! [23:17] hi all 2nd question, can I boot a MAC from an Ubuntu liveCD? [23:17] Ahh. Yeah, that didn't do anything whatsoever. [23:17] SupraMKIII: check the link ActionParsnip gave you. [23:18] tripelb: if you are using windows now you can use this: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Installer-1.7.9.0.exe [23:18] tripelb: if you are using ubuntu then run: usb-creator-gtk [23:18] greezmunkey: i probably account for 50% of the traffic there, get LOADS of users with the "black screen at boot" [23:19] can someone please help me .... i lost my min, max, close buttons any suggestions please [23:19] ActionParsnip I copied what you said about question 1. Will try it. [23:19] ActionParsnip, that and the "my sound doesnt work" [23:19] ActionParsnip: yeah, I had a similar problem back with 9.04. It was that X server was pointed to the video output port. [23:20] I have a friend with an older Mac and it won't boot. Can I make an Ubuntu liveCd and boot it from that, like I can for a Windows system? [23:20] I just made many long over due ubuntu updates and restarted my system. I have a Full Disk Encryption LUKS encrypted disk that wouldn't boot upon restart and instead brought me to some basic install/rescue screen.

[23:22] IdleOne: good to know, although I avoid apple products like paris hilton avoids talent [23:22] ActionParsnip, lololololo [23:22] :( [23:23] ha. I first ran ubuntu on PPC so I learned that little trick [23:23] what is Open CCSM. [23:23] !CCSM [23:23] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [23:23] ActionParsnip, i also dont like this kind of closed system [23:23] hi [23:23] mcl0vin: its the app to configure compiz stuffs, the command is: ccsm [23:23] !hi > MrJones [23:23] MrJones, please see my private message [23:23] I'm on 8.04 lts and installed python-openssl and python-pyopenssl and still 'python -c "import ssl"' gives me ImportError: No module named ssl - what am I doing wrong? [23:24] WinstonSmith: its not that, its just double priced hardware too, and ipods with very little functionality. I fail to see the appeal except its shiny... [23:24] MrJones, maybe python-pyopenssl-dev and python-openssl-dev? [23:24] Anyone knows how to request package publication to Ubuntu offical repos ? (everything is ready in a PPA) [23:24] why can no one help me? [23:24] WinstonSmith: there are no such packages to be found here [23:24] This script does not install the icon theme http://pastebin.com/YtPBuTkj [23:25] nicoulaj: ask in #ubuntu-motu or #ubuntu-packaging [23:25] MrJones it sounds like your trying to import a file named ssl [23:25] howto deactivate * setting sensors limits? on live cd boot??? [23:25] Any suggestions? [23:25] buntunub: I am trying to import the ssl namespace, as usually done in python [23:25] erUSUL: Thank you ! [23:25] ActionParsnip, i have a really old ipod (3g) and i have to admit the hardware is high quality - but i dont like the apple way - there is only their way, really expensive [23:25] nicoulaj: no problem [23:25] but my remix doesn't have ccsm [23:25] MrJones: try using the filename to import [23:25] buntunub: filename? [23:26] I want to access the system's installed openssl python binding [23:26] mrq [23:26] WinstonSmith: free it with rockbox [23:26] !ipod | WinstonSmith [23:26] WinstonSmith: 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 [23:26] pie_time: patience my friend, there is just no one here that has delt with this. You may be best served to hang out a while, or re-post your question later. [23:26] ActionParsnip, but you can install linux on that ipod :P [23:26] therefore I'm using "import ssl" to import the library's namesapce [23:26] MrJones: ike import.ssl [23:26] !rockbox | WinstonSmith [23:26] WinstonSmith: rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! [23:26] buntunub: are you sure that's valid python? [23:26] WinstonSmith: i would, gives it a whole slew of extra umf :) [23:26] MrJones: no its just an example [23:26] buntunub: whatever you're aiming for, it gives an invalid syntax [23:26] example for what? [23:26] MrJones: yea [23:27] my problem is, openssl for python is installed, yet "import ssl" fails [23:27] erUSUL, thats what i said [23:27] so what's wrong? :( [23:27] ActionParsnip: Solution 3 didn't work, and I don't think Solutions one or two apply to my problem. [23:27] normally this should work if the system python had ssl installed [23:27] MrJones: its seeing nothing but ssl as the filename so its giving the error [23:27] you noticed the -c, did you [23:27] which executes commands on the python command line [23:27] Hi [23:28] ActionParsnip, erUSUL i had that when it came out... was really buggy that time mp3 support barely realtime... but also was about 5 years ago [23:28] Can anyone suggest a good C++ compiler for lucid lynx? [23:28] buntunub: python -c "print 'hello world'" [23:28] Zirts: g++ [23:28] thank you [23:28] Zirts: install build-essential [23:28] MrJones: yea not sure its complaining at me too when i do that [23:28] Zirts: install build-essential and you will get an ANSI standard C++ and C compiler [23:29] !ide | Zirts [23:29] Zirts: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [23:29] okay [23:29] thanks all [23:30] ActionParsnip: LEAVE PARIS ALONE! *sniff* [23:31] is there a fix to get gnome to install on 10.4 lts? [23:31] acerimmer: hahahaha [23:31] rhebi: install the desktop iso and you will get gnome [23:31] I have a friend with an older Mac and it won't boot. Can I make an Ubuntu liveCd and boot it from that, like I can for a Windows system? [23:31] tripelb: yes [23:32] tripelb: use the same usb creation method but use the ppc ISO [23:32] ActionParsnip, so the desktop iso has the swfdec/epiphany dependancy fixed? [23:32] tripelb: depends how old the mac is - PPC or not [23:32] ah, good. Can I do it from a USB drive? [23:32] rhebi: no idea, i use neither [23:32] ActionParsnip, is there a way I can just grab a few fixed packages? [23:32] I was having trouble with my desktop icons not being aligned even though I set it to do so....has anyone experienced that and heard of a patch or something [23:32] ActionParsnip, gnome is uninstallable in 10.4 due to dependancy probs [23:32] tripelb: should be able to, you'll have to check for the device [23:32] here's a screenshot - http://content.screencast.com/users/j_barnett/folders/Default/media/eb672b79-1028-49bb-ac4b-476684d92cd5/gnome.png [23:33] OK acerimmer. ActionParsnip I will find out his mac version first. Thanks. I didnt want to blow smoke at him. [23:33] hi, guys! [23:33] rhebi: its the default desktop in ubuntu [23:33] and promise the moon. === kaiser is now known as Guest65925 [23:33] ActionParsnip, but it doesn't install on upgrade [23:33] rhebi: so its very installable [23:33] anyone participating to a google global jam, right now? [23:33] rhebi: how do you mean? [23:33] sorry, ubuntu global jam [23:33] is there another linux distro that is comparable to ubuntu as a desktop/laptop oriented distro? [23:34] imanc: suse, mandriva, fedora [23:34] ActionParsnip, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meta-gnome2/+bug/542404 [23:34] Cna anyone help me out with this blank book screen? [23:34] imanc: I think gentoo qualifies for that [23:34] imanc: check the distrowatch site, lots of distros there [23:34] nakhlawi: i thought gentoo was pretty sparse and needed loasd of config [23:34] ActionParsnip: cheers - looking now. [23:35] imanc: I am not sure about that, I use ubuntu [23:35] hey, guys [23:35] i made a plugin for gedit [23:35] Guest65925: good work [23:35] i want to share it with you [23:35] i've just learned how to create a debian package [23:36] rhebi: never seen that as I install the dektop iso which comes with gnome, or for minimal I install ubuntu-minimal then install lxde :) [23:36] lxde? [23:38] Is there any way that I can disable my hardware drivers from a liveCD? [23:38] hyeee [23:38] SupraMKIII: do you mean modify an installed system? [23:38] Hey does ubuntu have any type of system cleaner that goes thru and cleans out junk files and maybe a defrag or does the OS work completely different [23:38] yessir === Kaie is now known as Guest92192 [23:39] I realize that may be a dumb ? but hey we all gotta learn somehow [23:39] Tempus_Fugit: System cleanup [23:39] !system clean [23:40] where can find a capi driver [23:40] Tempus_Fugit: Ailurus [23:40] Tempus_Fugit: System > Administration > Computer Janitor [23:40] SupraMKIII: you can either chroot and remove the driver, or modify the files in etc/modprobe.d to blacklist the module [23:40] zkriesse: is that an apt-get type thing or already installed in the default package?? [23:41] SupraMKIII: you can mount the internal partitions from the live CD and do both === kimb is now known as lagunabatata [23:41] Tempus_Fugit: Ah should be under System -> Admistration -> System Cleanup [23:42] capi [23:42] ActionParsnip: How would I go about doing the first of the two? [23:42] i don't know what is it [23:42] zkriesse: hmm not installed on my system [23:42] Grr [23:42] It should be there [23:43] does anyone can help me [23:43] Tempus_Fugit: are you ignoring my suggestion? [23:43] I upgraded a morons defora 4, you read that right, ancient with ubuntu server, and his php software is for php4 and mysql4, what are my alternatives to let him have that on a modern ubuntu? thanks [23:43] Tempus_Fugit: System -> Administration -> Computer Janitor or just get Ailurus [23:44] UBUNTU 10.04.1 is also still very buggy! [23:44] i have an apple keyboard that is wired and i have to toggle a awkward "fn" key combined with a function key up top, by default the function keys control multimedia and display, i was wanting to set it the other way around [23:44] that is fedora 4 to ubuntu server squeeze/sid [23:44] bastid_raZor: not ignoring it ...didnt see it ...I was looking to see if it was installed sorry [23:44] Oh wow... I go in /etc/modprobe.d, and there's an nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf link that says it doesn't exist. [23:44] Tempus_Fugit: it is by default on Ubuntu 10.04. [23:46] bastid_raZor: well computer janitor is in my system but that just gets rid of old packages and such doesnt say anything bout cleaning up cache files or invalid registry items [23:47] Tempus_Fugit: are you confusing Ubuntu with Windows? what cached files or registry items? [23:47] Tempus_Fugit: I suggest you search for the oldest files in our computer and delete them. [23:47] Tempus_Fugit: download 10.07 deb file here - http://code.google.com/p/ailurus/downloads/list [23:47] !chroot | SupraMKIII [23:47] SupraMKIII: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [23:47] ok looking [23:47] ty [23:48] SupraMKIII: if you want to blacklist then you can make a .conf file in the folder (easier than chrooting). You can mount from places menu then run: gksudo nautilus /media to get write access [23:48] a chroot isn't very good at stopping programs accessing files outside of the chroot [23:49] okay so what do I put in the .conf? [23:49] ActionParsnip, erUSUL well rockbox DEFINITELY has advanced since then ! thx for reminding me . goodby apple ( wink wink ) [23:50] Could someone offer me some assistance with my hardy unbuntu(linux) [23:50] SupraMKIII: something like: blacklist nvidia save the file then the module will NOT be loaded as the file blocks it [23:50] WinstonSmith: try it, you can always roll it out [23:50] Hello [23:50] Magnetro: next to the question why still hardy, yes [23:50] !ask | magnet [23:50] magnet: 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. :-) [23:50] I'm so inticed by this OS; but to ensure I'll never go back to windows [23:50] !ask | magneto [23:50] magneto: 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. :-) [23:50] I need to figure out how to do only a simple things; PM please. [23:50] so just make a text file, put "blacklist nvidia" then save it as "blacklist-nvidia.conf"? [23:50] !tabcompletion ! WinstonSmith [23:50] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:51] magnet i know typo :( [23:51] :) [23:51] i've many files.... from 0001.htm to 1700.html [23:51] Magnetro: what's the issue ? [23:51] I'd like to copy the text into a txt file [23:52] unzipping actually. [23:52] !who | magnetro [23:52] magnetro: 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 :) [23:52] magnetro : kinda file ? [23:52] DasEi: ;p;. [23:52] can you help me? [23:52] Can I explain in PM? [23:53] Magnwtro: stay here [23:53] I also found a cleaner in the Ubuntu Tweak tool [23:53] okay, give me a second to type it DesEi: [23:54] Tempus_Fugit: i think they're both similar, Ailurus works on other distros too though [23:54] Tempus_Fugit: looking for a system-cleaner ? [23:54] hello there. I am looking for someone who can help me with mounting windows vista shares with cifs (they are very slow for some reason) [23:54] is there a program I can use in command line to ignore data from STDIN until it reaches a double newline, and then pass the rest through STDOUT to another program? [23:55] the reason for this is that I need to remove the headers from a HTTP response from netcat [23:55] Okay for instance, I downloaded Utra Nes from the easy made gnome add/remove programs; and when I download the games (that are already compressed) I just drag and drop it into the ROM Filename [23:55] Paolone: a re you trying to put all the files in to one big file? [23:55] Paolone: are* [23:56] Magnetro : what endings do the file have ? deb, rar, tar.. [23:57] <^james_foo^> frxstrem: you could use 'awk' with an invocation i won't work out at the moment [23:57] hi [23:57] ^james_foo^: well, I figured I could use `wget` instead of netcat for HTTP requests :S stupid me [23:57] hola [23:57] I'm trying to install mame; xmame-0.103.tar.bz2 [23:57] any one in to wordpress ? [23:58] Phr3ak_: Ask [23:58] well, iam busy with wordpress and bbpress .. [23:58] tweaked a bbpress theme a bit, so it suits the ubuntu colors [23:58] hyeee [23:58] Magnetro : xmame is in the repos, so you want to compile software, see : [23:58] iam new here [23:58] !compile [23:58] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [23:59] Magnetro:is there a certain reason for you still using hardy ? [23:59] Phr3ak_: I thought you meant wordpress.com. I can't help you with bbpress, sorry. [23:59] no, not wordpress.com [23:59] When I attempted to download it from repos these is what came up DasEi () [23:59] and yes there is
