[00:00] ok thank you I should be able to do the rest [00:00] Xubuntu_Newb: well, you will want to make sure that ld knows where to find the libs if you build them as symbolic [00:00] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, still what if i wanted that config anyways and i was planning to install fedora AFTER ubuntu, it makes no sense. [00:00] But since the dependencies are system-wide it doesn't matter if I have them anyway right? [00:00] Xubuntu_Newb: if you build it static, then yes, your all good to go [00:00] asdfasdfasdfasdf: agreed [00:00] asdfasdfasdfasdf: There is an "advanced" button on the last screen of the installer. [00:01] latagore, multi tasking!!!! so I take it you have a cable connected to the ethernet controller. does ifconfig show that eth0 is getting any valid ip numbers? [00:01] asdfasdfasdfasdf: Vbox is completely different than doing an actual install. in Vbox the entire OS is kept in a single file on the box. when doing a real install you will have the option to put grub where ever you want( the final step during the install process) also you can keep your current grub and add Ubuntu to it. if you so choose. [00:01] Xubuntu_Newb: yes, if the deps are system wide, then you should be fine. give it a go and see how you get along. [00:01] ......Where would I make a complaint about a stupid package resolution problem in apt? [00:01] wait. [00:01] nevermind [00:01] I'm an idiot [00:01] All right thank you both very much for your help :) [00:01] Jordan_U, didn't see that grub config options are there? [00:01] turt1e: D: The ethernet cable I connected to that laptop was the cable attached to this computer [00:01] Xubuntu_Newb: anytime =) [00:01] asdfasdfasdfasdf: Yes. [00:01] or at least I think I am [00:02] is it safe to overwrite a drive with zeros using dd, or will I kill the drive? [00:02] bastidrazor, so? what the os really see is a working hard drive. when i ran FEdora i had the option and so on. [00:02] turt1e: I mean I'd be glad to rip it out... it's just that I can't have both computers on at the same time [00:02] spasysheep: it's fine [00:02] removing the metapackage ubuntu-desktop, does that then make apt want to delete my whole system any time I upgrade, etc? [00:02] bastidrazor, the OS beeing held inside host should not know that its beeing run inside a virtual machine. [00:02] like it used to? [00:02] Maahes: no, I've done that and then re-installed ubuntu-desktop and all was fine [00:03] eh.....oh well, I'll just play crawl without sdl tiles enabled [00:03] asdfasdfasdfasdf: if you do a real install, not in a VM, you will see the options for grub, like Jordan_U stated. [00:04] Maahes: Crawl as in DungeonCrawl? =o [00:04] ok [00:04] hiku: ok... I suppose if it isnt there's always insurance [00:04] latagore, I see.... what kind of laptop, and what is the lspci info for the wireless adapter? [00:04] spasysheep: =) [00:04] and last question should i upgrade installer before installing or just use the default one. i fear for unknown new bugs or bad upgrading could cause problems with the install if i do upgrade.. [00:05] asdfasdfasdfasdf: 10.04 ubuntu uses grub2, it is very different to grub. please read the !grub2 factoid [00:05] hiku: should i use if=/dev/null or /dev/zero? [00:05] !grub2 | asdfasdfasdfasdf [00:05] turt1e: Netbook, and all it says is Broadcom Corporation Device for wireless [00:05] asdfasdfasdfasdf: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [00:05] spasysheep: zero [00:06] spasysheep: /dev/null is nothing...it's void... black hole. [00:06] turt1e: Once I get wireless working, I can get on IRC and connect the ethernet cable on the laptop [00:06] now this is weird.... [00:06] hiku: kkty [00:06] spasysheep: your welcoem [00:06] *welcoem [00:06] lol welcome [00:07] anyone? [00:07] latagore, uhggg.... netbook [00:07] !ask | Adriannom [00:07] Adriannom: 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. :-) [00:07] i have a system... i installed ubuntu-server and debian and both of them get stuck in "loading operating system" now i still had a image for my pxe server from ubuntu desktop... just pushed it on the system... works [00:07] hiku, already asked [00:07] hi. is it possible to rsync a home dir between several machines? i.e. if i delete a file on my local machine it gets deleted on my server and other workstations [00:07] turt1e: I like the speed; good enough for me =o [00:07] hi again hiku ;) [00:07] Adriannom: hmm, I must be having lagg, I didn't see it [00:07] Adriannom: ohla [00:07] and it is an installation.... [00:07] latagore: as in DCSS yep [00:08] turt1e: is there a big problem with it? [00:08] harddrive clone... wth? [00:08] Maahes: D: Never heard of DCSS. To google! [00:08] the version in the repos is the no longer being developed dungeon crawl [00:08] does anyone have an idea? [00:08] hiku, i've been reading and trying out those articles you linked me to for rsync+ssh, but i can't seem to find out how to make deletes propagate sensibly [00:08] bastidrazor, cool does it finally support themes with more quality images? [00:08] is there something different in grub between ubuntu and ubuntu server? [00:08] Maahes: I noticed. Didn't think I'd find another ASCII dungeon crawler :p [00:08] Adriannom: deletes with the --delete option ? it's not working? [00:08] nvm i got to the bottom of that page :D [00:09] hiku, sure, but isn't that one way? [00:09] dungeon crawl stone soup has a sdl-tiles version, and I was pondering building it [00:09] asdfasdfasdfasdf: best of luck :) [00:09] latagore: if you haven't checked out doomrl you should ^_^ [00:09] hiku, so if i delete on a local machine, how do the other workstations know not to upload the file again? [00:09] Adriannom: yes. src->dest (src having orig files, and if you remove it, then the dest should remove it to). [00:09] and dwarf fortress, but dwarft fortress is too much for the machine I'm working on [00:09] Maahes: My brother goes on it, haven't checked it out myself [00:10] bastidrazor, any idea with the upgrade installer question? [00:10] where do i place icon packs? === oracle_ is now known as oracle [00:10] anyhow... i give up for now [00:10] latagore: doomrl is a really fun coffeebreak rl. Dwarf Fortress......is...well....dwarf fortress. The most complicated and hard roguelike around. [00:10] Adriannom: you need to have a so called master node that does the pulling (or pushing). so if your workstations are syncing data to a central server, then would also need to use the --delete option [00:11] latagore, not really... It just seems getting wireless working on the netbooks seems to be a common problem. could just be my perception though [00:11] Maahes: I've heard of it [00:11] turt1e: Is it a common problem that can be fixed? >_< xD [00:11] Adriannom: example. I rsync my centos updates from kernel.org, I use the --delete option just incase they remove a package, then I don't want that in my repo. [00:11] another really cool game, that's sort of like a rogue like, crossed with a old-school platformer action game. Is Spelunky. I have yet to get past level 6 in spelunky, out of 20-some odd levels [00:12] Maahes: I actually started it up once; took an hour to generate the world; way too long for me [00:12] asdfasdfasdfasdf: if you have the chance to use the latest installer, 10.04.1, i would go with the newer.. but that is just my way of thinking. [00:12] where do i place gnome icon packs? [00:12] Maahes: Perhaps it's time for whispers [00:12] true ^_^ [00:13] hiku, ok so i have a server and 3 workstations, which does the pushing or pulling with --delete? [00:13] Squarism: extract to ~/.icons or /usr/share/icons [00:13] ok thanks bastidrazor [00:13] hiku, the server? [00:13] Squarism: or drag the .tar.gz into the appearance window [00:13] Adriannom: does the server pull the data from the clients or the other way around? [00:13] latagore, I'm sure it probably can, just not sure if I will be much help. Never tried the netbooks. is it the netbook edition of ubuntu you are running? [00:14] Adriannom: if the server is pulling, then the server needs to have --delete, if not, then the clients do when pushing [00:14] VCoolio, ah thanks.. what about GDM / login screens.. where do they go? [00:14] turt1e: How would I know? I installed this computer and my netbook with the same version [00:14] Squarism: doesn't work anymore, gdm2 now, not as configurable yet [00:15] hiku, i think i'm missing something fundamental here. so let's say i handle it all on the clients. do i need to do more than one rsync? [00:15] Adriannom: a really cool setup is passwordless ssh sessions with rsync, then the server could pull from the clients(workstations) [00:15] push+pull [00:15] Squarism: search for gdm2setup on launchpad.net, you can set gtk theme and icon theme for it and the background [00:15] Adriannom: no, if each client is pushing data to the server and I'm assuming each client is placing that data in a different location, then the client will need to add the -delete option. [00:16] latagore, then it's probably the desktop version. you would have had to specify on the ubuntu home page that you wanted to download the netbook edition. what model netbook btw? [00:16] hiku, no, all workstations are sharing the same home dir, that's the problem [00:16] Adriannom: hmm, same /home like a central nfs /home dir right [00:17] How do I install a .deb? [00:17] turt1e: Acer AspireOne 521 [00:17] Adriannom: if that's the case, then just pick 1 client to do the rsync. [00:17] bonks: just double clic on it, what deb¿ is better install from repository [00:17] xangua: virtualbox isn't available in the repository [00:18] hiku, yup. [00:18] bonks: yes it is [00:18] hiku, ok so c1 (client 1) rsyncs to server. then what? [00:18] xangua: I get this error: Package virtualbox is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package virtualbox has no installation candidate [00:19] bonks: if you are trying to install the deb. make sure you downloaded it from vbox official web [00:19] hiku, how does c2 and c3 sync? [00:19] Adriannom: do this. type man rsync, then type /delete and then use the arrow keys and scroll down a bit. there are 5 delete options to choose from [00:19] bonks: install virtualbox-ose or vboxgtk [00:20] hiku, i've read the manual on delete, but it's one way, this is the problem i'm having... the one way [00:20] Adriannom: no it's not 1 way, there is --delete-before receiver deletes before transfer (default) [00:20] hiku, oh? [00:20] xangua: ah ok i tried to install virtualbox-3.2. [00:20] * Adriannom rereads [00:21] Adriannom: man rsync again and search for delete =) [00:21] xangua: how do I view available packages that match "v*box" so I can search for them in the future? [00:21] hiku, yeah, so the client sends the command to delete, the server deletes, then on the next rsync from another client the file is uploaded again right? [00:22] hiku, unless i pull from each client before i push, but then i'd lose changes :s [00:23] why was i just kicked? [00:23] hiku, someone just recommended unison to me. looks like it'll work [00:23] Adriannom: yup... that too =) [00:23] hiku, ah cool, thanks for the help anyway :) [00:23] Adriannom: totally forgot about that [00:24] Adriannom: np [00:25] i just moved to another channel even tho i registewred ages ago and have identified this session [00:25] ? [00:27] latagore, does your netbook have a physical switch to turn the wirelss on by chance? [00:28] turt1e: Yes, but my netbook doesn't have an indicator whether it's on or not >_> [00:28] turt1e: I can try it now [00:29] turt1e: If we do anything to change around the wireless, then I have to remember to try it in both states [00:30] latagore, ok... after you do check ifconfig and see if wlan0 shows up [00:31] turt1e: Nothing [00:31] same for me [00:31] I get eth0 and lo [00:31] I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge (13" AMD version). The internal bluetooth adapter is no longer available as of the last two kernel updates. I'm hoping it's just a fail on the ubuntu kernel modules and not something wrong with my adapter. Has anyone else seen issues with bluetooth in Lucid lately? [00:31] dreux, are you on a netbook as well? [00:31] yup [00:31] missing driver [00:31] I believe it's a broadcom based bluetooth adapter. [00:32] which program can i cut mp3 files and merge them togethar with? [00:33] blizzow1: Now 3 people have the same problem :] [00:33] latagore, so do you get a network symbol in the top bar next to the sound and date? === blizzow1 is now known as blizzow [00:33] i do [00:33] turt1e: yep, cept it has a red exclamation mark; no wireless networks [00:33] gonna have to manually load the driver [00:33] if you guys right click that do you get the option to "enable wireless" [00:34] gentlemen, start your floppy drives [00:34] nopd [00:34] latagore: I'm not sure if you're making a joke about the number of Ubuntu linux users out there or being serious. [00:34] nope* [00:34] My wireless is fine. It's just my bluetooth adapter. [00:34] turt1e: Nope [00:35] blizzow: No I mean me, you, and dreux have the same problem with wireless [00:35] blizzow: Oh, oops :D [00:35] dmesg doesn't show any bluetooth hardware. [00:35] how do i find out my driver so I can download it? [00:36] also would my driver work on ubuntu? [00:36] any help with sopcast in ubuntu 9.04? [00:36] which program can i cut mp3 files and merge them togethar with? [00:36] dreux: Try finding the name of your adapter and then google the name. Look to see if there is a linux version of your driver [00:37] latagore, dreux, well... only other suggestion I could make would be to install wicd which would replace the crappy network-manager that is the default on ubuntu. except you guys can't get connected. have you tried the wired conneciton? [00:37] nope [00:37] so install wicd? and try to find my driver? [00:38] turt1e: I could get the program on a USB and then install that way [00:38] same [00:38] any ideas guys? [00:38] might be worth a shot. [00:39] dreux, does your wired connection work on your netbook? [00:39] mm I havn't tried it [00:39] 1293 people here:Dand no luck [00:40] ill download this wcid thing and try then [00:40] if that doesn't work then ill try and find a driver [00:41] latagore, dreux, you guys may have to also grab any dependencies that wicd may need [00:41] like what? [00:42] dreux: problems with network manager? [00:42] It's asking me to use the terminal with an internet connection; the other option is the source code which I don't know how to compile [00:43] wireless problems [00:44] hey guuuys!after half hour trying to register here,and another two hours trying to set up sopcast,does anyone knows hot to manage with the sopcast,or i just throw the laptop on the window? [00:44] dreux: like what kind of problems? i used to have problems with intel wifi card - network manager dropped connection to ap when scanning .. solved by installing wicd [00:44] dygey: Your best bet if no one replies is to post regularly [00:44] just repeat myself? [00:44] that's not...spam? [00:45] dygey: Yep because your message will eventually scroll up where no one can see it [00:45] dygey, do you use qsopcast or another frontend? [00:45] dygey: yeah this is #ubuntu, stuff moves fast, except updates [00:45] sometimes it doesnt feel installing/switching icon pack changes ALL of the icons [00:45] some remain cached or something [00:45] !repeat | latagore dygey [00:45] latagore dygey: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com [00:45] latagore, what's asking you to use the terminal? [00:46] mbroeker: gsopcast [00:46] dygey, and what does not work? [00:46] I don't get any wifi connections much less a dropped connection [00:46] turt1e: Uh the installation for wicd [00:46] dreux: what wifi card and version of ubuntu do you have? [00:47] i have the newest verison [00:47] and idk what card i have [00:48] latagore, hmm... never tried a manual installation. always have been able to use apt-get install which for ubuntu build of wicd also goes in a removes network-manager correctly [00:48] im about to try to install wicd now [00:48] dreux: do you have a laptop? if so what brand and model? [00:48] latagore, so you may need to try booting up with the wired connection and see if you can get on the network [00:49] turt1e: Would it be difficult to save the source on a USB then compile and install? [00:49] yes. HPdv2840se [00:49] bodwick, both latagore and dreux are using netbooks. latagore is an Acer aspire one [00:49] k [00:49] helppppppp === OP is now known as Daltx [00:50] Can we run Tomcat and regular apache at the same time? [00:50] hmm.. Tomcat is supposedly only a module of Apache.. [00:50] I'm confused.. [00:50] dreux: try wicd, should fix your problem [00:51] turt1e: I actually gotta eat; if you're still here, I'd like your help, if not, I'll ask someone else [00:51] awe the wicd doesnt work. I get Error: conflicts with the istalled package 'network=manager' [00:51] turt1e: thanks for the help [00:51] !flash [00:51] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:51] dreux: how did you install? sudo apt-get install wicd ? [00:51] !chrome [00:52] !chromium [00:52] glaksmono: yeah you can. you'd just run them on different ports, and then there is a way to seamlessly proxy requests for dynamic pages from apache to tomcat... [00:52] You can get testing builds for Chromium at https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [00:52] no I just put in my flash drive and click on wicd [00:52] dreux: network manager should be automagically replaced with wicd [00:52] and thats what it told me [00:53] dreux: can you connect your laptop via ethernet and install wicd ? [00:53] hmmm.. the default Apache port i guess is 8080 [00:53] i can try but i would lose connection here [00:53] but for some reason there's no error when i start it, but i couldn't go to to hostname:8080 [00:53] bodwick: dreux has no network connection to be able to use an apt-get [00:53] Maahes: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser , fore more languages also install chromium-browser-l10n [00:53] glaksmono: usually its 80 but it depends on the maintainer [00:53] wickedSA: hmmm.. [00:54] xangua: I was just looking for how to enable flash in chrome, I found it [00:54] glaksmono: what about just hostname:80 [00:54] dreux, you could try this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/can-not-install-wicd-conflicts-with-network-manager-803267/ [00:54] wickedSA, i have regular apache there [00:54] running PHP on the top of it [00:54] k ill take a look [00:54] glaksmono: ok so you want tomcat on 8080 right [00:54] Maahes: google chrome comes with adobe flash plugin integrated [00:54] wickedSA, right [00:55] glaksmono: are you sure that tomcat is running [00:55] xangua: er, not for me at least it didn't. I had "Missing plugin" everywhere. [00:55] wickedSA: http://pastebin.com/XVLHXBhF [00:55] dreux, just be aware that if wicd doesn't install properly, or requires other package dependincies then by not having network-manager your ethernet wired connection will also not work from the gui [00:55] Maahes: if you use chromium you need to also install flash plugin from repository === zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy [00:56] dreux: just connect the ethernet cable for 10 minutes and install wicd with its dependecies [00:56] glaksmono: ok just need to figure out what port its running on. in (I think) web.xml or something. you can also check to see what ports are open [00:56] so your saying I should try using my ethernet wire first? [00:56] dreux, yep, that would be my suggestion as well [00:57] where do i go to download wicd on ubuntu? [00:57] after i connect it [00:57] dreux: from repository [00:57] k [00:57] dreux: sudo apt-get install wicd [00:57] thanks guy [00:57] dreux: or via synaptic [00:59] Does anyone know if the ubuntu repositories has the sane backend for the Canon LiDE 100 yet?

[01:27] Well, my ethernet is working, but I can't seem to install proprietary drivers for wireless or my graphics card [01:27] I'm sorry, jrib, the mac itself doesn't work. the hdd obviously works [01:27] I need to partition a drive to put onto an existing RAID array but none of the drives on existing RAID are partitioned so when I use fdisk to create the partition it ends up being smaller than the others thus unable to grow the array due to size difference.

I don't know why the ethernet works now, but at least it does [01:29] could it be the usb adapter I'm using? [01:29] mp33pm: I doubt it since clearly some files are showing up but just not stuff in Movies and Desktop [01:30] jrib take look at this http://paste.ubuntu.com/487020/ [01:30] h00k [01:30] latagore, so ubuntu is showing you that proprietary drivers are available but it won't let you activate them?

[01:36] well, i had to create a .desktop file in order to get my custom xsession script to run [01:36] but, now i'm all set [01:37] SpaceGhostC2C: you could boot directly to the ISO with grub2. [01:37] bastidrazor: hm, good thought. [01:38] I've only done one thing with grub2, when it had lua support. I'll see if that's attainable [01:38] SpaceGhostC2C: is there any kind of command line log? [01:38] chrowe: not for configs. [01:38] chrowe, /var/log/dpkg.log [01:39] chrowe: oh, do you mean installed packages? turt1e has it right. [01:39] SpaceGhostC2C: and apt-get or aptitude does not have a log? [01:39] xangua, thanks for the suggestion. The expose in compiz brings all the different workspaces in view whereas I want all the windows in the active workspace (just like osx) [01:39] xangua, any idea on how to get that?

[01:39] chrowe: It has logs for installed packages and even the original configs if needed, but not all the changes you've made. [01:40] jubei: It's not expose, it's called Scale and there is a binding for show windows from all viewports [01:40] SpaceGhostC2C: turt1e: I just have a lot of dev servers and I can't remember what I have done to them all. Mostly installing packages and command line scripts I ran [01:40] tracy69: flash clips? [01:40] chrowe, or if you want to see all installed packages I think dpkg -l gives you that. but it's easier to see what you installed manually with /var/log/dpkg.log [01:40] soreau, oh ic. Thanks I'll look it up! [01:41] jubei: It's in ccsm>Window Management>Scale.

[02:06] which mail client is best? I like to have calendar/todo list options,not just a basic email [02:07] boywonder, you mean your network doesn't provide dhcp or your wireless setting are not using dhcp? [02:07] eross, Gmail?

[02:09] eross: evolutin, kmail, thunderbird (with lighting plugin) [02:09] i cant find in any log [02:09] boywonder, then yeah, you will probably have to provide the ip info manually in your wireless settings? what does ifconfig show for wlan0 [02:09] hardhat01, you may want to file bug report with the software [02:09] ive filled the ip [02:09] yea... i dont want people in theory to be able to look up my other mail accounts with them set up in gmail - how safe is that? [02:10] It is not software just an app I am trying to compile. [02:10] eross, it's as secure as the gmail site. [02:10] how to tell screen saver to sleep in 10 min instead of just 3? [02:10] never mind [02:11] eross, it's not really a security problem in my opinion. you likely have a higher chance of your laptop being stolen. [02:11] and hence your email being read. [02:11] boywonder, so are you connecting now that you provided an ip? [02:11] no for some reason now the settings were deleted [02:12] Why does the alternate installer make me feel like I'm installing WinNT4? [02:12] hardhat01, you did try googling for the header file, didn't you? [02:13] I may. I just thought the name may have changed, and I don't really want to go messing around with my system until I know what to do.

[02:19] lsb_release -a [02:19] I can't install proprietary drivers, is there someone that could help [02:20] randomOfAmber: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=127 [02:20] thunderbird has 3.1.2 version, synaptic 3.0.1 version [02:20] mickster04: If it's happening when you connect for the first time it may be that your client is connecting to #ubuntu before it finishes identifying. [02:20] how do I disable the OSD notifier [02:20] http://pastebin.ca/1930889 <-- this is the compile errors. [02:20] bastidrazor: Well, it feels like that with the alternate installer... [02:20] what is a good compiler for me to download [02:21] Jordan_U: i have connected to this channel loads, and i always connect before i identify, its never been a problem before [02:21] hardhat01: gcc [02:21] hardhat01: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=197 [02:21] hardhat01: depends what language tho [02:21] bastidrazor: It freezes or something when trying to delete an lvm partition [02:21] mickster04: Usually this channel doesn't require you to be identified, it only does now because of recent spam problems. [02:21] Mickster04: I used to do that too, but I got stopped. I have to identify before coming in #ubuntu now [02:21] I am using gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) [02:22] seekwill: i have zero experience with the alternate installer. i am of no help. [02:22] want to use opengl with cobol [02:22] latagore: how am i supposed to set up irssi to do that :S [02:22] hey, anything like http://www.keylemon.com/ for slim or any DM really? [02:22] hardhat01, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/tcp-hdr-variables-388003/ [02:22] mickster04: dunno, when you are sent to the other channel, there is help there onhow to do it [02:23] hardhat01, it's not a problem with your compiler... it's a problem with your includes/defines [02:23] thank you [02:23] eross: Are you serious? [02:23] I can't install [02:23] jordan - no was referring to someone's link above about cobol on linux [02:23] rbellamy: what do I do to fix it? [02:23] * rbellamy falls over at OpenGL with COBOL [02:23] gambas is cool though, in a vb sort of way [02:23] * madfox rofls at COBOL [02:24] freebasic compiles natively [02:24] hardhat01, read the link... it talks about the duplicate definitions of the IP and TCP structs, and how to tell the compiler the one you prefer [02:24] joshritger, notifications are provided by notify-osd, you could always kill it on startup [02:24] Blue1, thank you :-) [02:24] turt1e: greetings. I cannot boot my previous kernel version. [02:25] latagore, sorry can't help with the proprietary driver issue... sucks that didn't work for you [02:25] turt1e: alright [02:25] ok i found in the kernal that i have to install firmware,please tell me how to find the device name? [02:25] latagore, by this time I would have reinstalled. sounds like somehting hosed on an update [02:25] boywonder: whats your problem [02:26] turt1e: Hm, I will reinstall tomorrow then [02:26] my wirelss adapter aint working [02:26] hardhat01: First of all, don't run gcc as root. Second, what is it that you're trying to compile? [02:26] latagore, have you tried booting with the livecd to see if wireless and proprietary drivers can be loaded when using the livecd? [02:26] that you. [02:26] ive found the related drivers, justr need to check its the right device? [02:26] Jordan_U: It is a program to test out ping to learn network programming. [02:26] turt1e: I'll give 'er a quick try right now [02:26] hostlock.c:17:31: error: netinet/protocols.h: No such file or directory [02:27] is now the only error I am getting [02:27] boywonder howd you manage to find the RIGHT drivers and not know what they are for? [02:27] o.o [02:27] boywonder, lspci [02:27] hardhat01: you are missing that file:p [02:27] how do I get that file. [02:27] the kernal log led me to page [02:28] Can I just download it or can I go a apt-get install [02:28] for broadcom [02:28] hardhat01: no idea :P [02:28] boywonder you on dialup? [02:29] lspci thanks [02:29] boywonder, if you know it's a broadcomm device then [02:29] 'lspci |grep -i broadcomm' [02:30] i have it down [02:30] | grep 14e4 [02:30] wow [02:31] hardhat01: If you're using the file I found via google, http://www.martnet.com/~jcw/exploits/generic/hostlock.c , then you should note that it's from 1996 and will likely need signifigant editing to compile on a modern system. [02:31] it seemed to work :-) [02:32] hardhat01: So you have it working now? [02:33] Yep. I just put the code from protocol.h into the C file. [02:34] turt1e i have a device activate for that driver ,should that do the trick, or do i have to download it manually? [02:35] I am curious if it does anything at all ... [02:36] I ran it on my local host and it seems to be doing nothing at all. [02:36] boywonder, uh... not sure I'm following. you mean you see the wireless device in lspci? [02:38] if found the device in lspci and located the right drivers on website, also in system/admin/hardware drivers says its deactivated and i can activate it b43 wireless driver? [02:38] hardhat01: what are you coding in? c++? if so what are you using to make it [02:38] mickster04: I used gcc ... [02:38] the kernal says i need firmware so [02:39] I am mostly a Lisp programmer, and am compiling it to learn c c++ [02:39] on the broadcom [02:39] hardhat01 just a guess you could us an #include .h [02:39] hardhat01: are you using an ide like codeblocks? [02:40] hardhat01: if you're speaking with a lisp, you could get counceling in perl6 ;) [02:40] turt1e: So updating from the live CD didn't work either [02:40] nope the command line process. [02:40] boywonder, yeah, if hardware manager is showing a wireless driver avialable to activate then activate it using hardware manager. it will download the appropriate driver. Is the computer in question connected via wired network [02:40] turt1e: Internet didn't work either, so I'm afraid to reinstall Ubuntu [02:41] I am thinking about using clojure -- that way If my boss wants java code I can write clojure code using the JvM because clojure is way better then java ... [02:41] yes turt1e [02:41] latagore, hmmm so the wired connection didn't work from the live cd [02:41] hardhat01: i would recommend using an IDE, means you can step thru the program...alternatively add printouts as to where your program is [02:41] I may do that. Or try to port it to clojure ... [02:42] Hi everyone! Got an issue maybe you can help me with. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.4. I created a partition for Ubuntu. I burned the most current version of Ubuntu to DVD. Restart the mac and select the Ubuntu DVD on the refit menu. It comes up with languenge selection screen, i choose english and then select the "try ubuntu"" selection. Then the screen freezes, goes black and I get "HDMI NO SIGNAL". Not sure why it says that if [02:42] boywonder, then yes, activate the driver, restart and see if your wireless works. are you on a netbook pc also? [02:43] can you get fired at work for writing clojure code, and calling it java code, because it runs on the JVM ... [02:43] a laptop [02:43] hardhat01: i think you could get into trouble [02:43] boywonder, well... at least you've got one good thing going for you! ;) [02:43] hardhat01: its missleading, cos its not just about it working, its aobut maintanance [02:44] I don't maintain I just hack code ;) [02:44] whats that? [02:44] hardhat01: some has to maintain that code [02:44] hardhat01: as its proffesional then yes you could get into massive trouble [02:45] boywonder, that you aren't on a netbook. [02:45] mickster04: Including jail ... or not that much trouble ... [02:45] ol lol,never lol [02:46] turt1e: Is there any other way to view my wireless adapter; I don't know what model number it is [02:46] a lot of people have had trouble with these devices and are using a wrapper [02:46] hardhat01: not jail, sacking at worst, buts that just morally wrong too, to say you are doing one thing and then do another, its lying [02:47] hardhat01 why would you do that? [02:47] latagore, usually lspci gives you all that info. but it's not in your case? [02:47] im connected yupee [02:47] madfox: I like clojure better then java ... [02:47] thanks alot turt1e [02:48] I guess I will just tell my boss the truth, clojure is way more powerful then java ever hopes to be ... [02:48] boywonder, great! np [02:48] turt1e: it just says broadcom corportation device 4727 [02:49] hardhat01: do that, he will prolly be ok with it, but if anyone else needs to maintain that code, then the work place needs to be able to do clojure rather than java [02:49] turt1e: I found it by googling it [02:49] anyone have any ideas? :) [02:50] Burgjh: i've already forgotten what your problem was? [02:50] latagore, by googling 4727? [02:51] is "\bsomeWord\b" not valid in grep? [02:51] turt1e: by using google on the entire name provided by lspci [02:51] what's the best way to distribute a closed-source linux application? [02:51] hi does anyone here know anything about hacking? [02:52] Ha. Ok. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.4 Intel Mac Mini. I created a partition for Ubuntu. I burned the most current version of Ubuntu to DVD. Restart the Mac and select the ubuntu DVD on the refit menu. It comes up with the laungauge selection screen. I choose english and then select the "try ubuntu" selection. Then the screen goes black and I get "HDMI NO SIGNAL". Not sure why it says thaty if it had no problem displaying the o [02:52] spenca: #remote-exploit is the place you want to be. [02:52] thank you [02:52] spenca: do you mean hacking or cracking? [02:53] latagore, ahh.. gotchya. so you are set? found the steps needed to get it working? [02:53] Burgjh im new but i just installed ubunti. [02:53] turt1e: Can you review a page to make sure I won't destroy what I have right now [02:53] i mean remotely accessing a comp from somewhere else [02:53] did you slow burn the iso? [02:53] Ah, ok boy [02:53] latagore, sure [02:53] 8x [02:53] so i guess hacking [02:53] turt1e: http://vsritual.com/ [02:53] Burgjh: i use a Svideo cable for my media box and during fresh installs and such i need to plug an actual monitor into the VGA or DVI port before the installer will be visible. [02:53] ooooo [02:54] did you check the disk for errors on the install page? [02:54] ill get my dvi adapter and give it a shot [02:54] mickster04 i mean hacking [02:54] i wasnt able to get that far [02:54] spenca: "hacking" is not in the scope of this channel. you should ask elsewhere. [02:54] spenca: you need ssh:P if its concensual access, otherwise want you want to do is cracking, hacking is makinug programs do more than what they originally did [02:54] ok [02:54] just got to the "try ubuntu without installing" and thats all === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:55] spenca if its for a windows box use putty or if your hacking i dunno [02:55] i have putty boywonder [02:56] cool [02:56] I have the new mac mini and only has HDMI input...so im gonna try the DVI adapter with a DVI cablle...which plugs into the HDMI.kinda silly but will give it a shot [02:56] Burgjh you should reach an install page first [02:56] hmmm [02:56] the order i had it in was select launguge then the options for if i want to install or try etc [02:57] the first time i durn the iso i had two errors and exactly the same try screen [02:57] maybe a bad copy? [02:57] you sholud be able to test disk on the firswt screen [02:57] what did you do to solve this? [02:57] i reburnt the disk [02:57] hmm [02:58] oh ok [02:58] nothing to do with the hdmi right? [02:58] latagore, I'd be leary on that procedure, just because it's not the "ubuntu way" take a look here instead http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/11/broadcom-wireless-driver-fix-in-karmic.html [02:58] em dunno [02:58] hi all. is there an 'ls' param that will print the directory structure of a directory? [02:58] well I will restart and look for an option to test the disk. Brb [02:58] or a command that does it [02:58] hi. kdm always seems to try to start X in failsafe mode. is there a possibility that i can force it to use the normal configs? [02:59] Burgjh: from my experience it is the hdmi that is at fault.. well the installer doesn't like hdmi/s-video. so by me plugging in to the VGA/DVI port all was well. [02:59] or how can i figure out why it doesnt or why that fails? it doesnt create any of the log files (/var/log/Xorg*) [02:59] does anyone know what the encryption method being used in the ubuntu alternate install cd is? I know I'm using the aes-256 algorithm but what is facilitating this funciton? is it truecrypt or some other solutions? and is anyone aware of any vulnerabilities with respect to using the volume encryption upon install? [02:59] for truecrypt related questions join us in #truecrypt ! ;) [03:01] warz: i think its something like ls -t but check out the man pages for it [03:01] #turt1e: I already have the package installed, but not enabled; I can't enable it [03:01] turt1e: whoops at the accidental #. I'm going to try to reinstall though [03:02] hello [03:02] warz, not sure on ls but you could try installing 'tree' [03:03] latagore, yeah, try it from synaptic package manager [03:03] turt1e: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/4WsEw98a [03:03] warz: im sure if you google ls tree or something similar you will find ample help, I know im not suppoed to point you to google but there it is [03:04] warz info ls [03:04] i am using cinellera and cinecutie with ubuntu anything i will do in cinecutie it will endup with a segmentation fault, is that problem of the program or of ubuntu? [03:04] latagore, that's wierd, it didn't spit out any dependency info? [03:05] anyone know how to use lua with conky ? [03:05] turt1e: ooh what fun, I can't even remove it [03:05] latagore, oh! wait the dependecie issue is for your fglrx [03:05] tracy69: there have been a couple of articles on linuxtoday about conky that might help you out [03:05] turt1e: No clue what that is :] [03:06] i want to draw simple bar using lua cuz conky doesnt support it anyone know how to do that ? [03:06] hello i have Fedora installed in this pc with it's grub into the disk's MBR, i installed ubuntu to another partition and chose to install its own grub to its partition. I'm editing fedora's grub to add an option to boot ubuntu but it's not working, i get an Error 13: invalid.. I edited menu.lst and added rootnoverify(hd0,7) chainloader +1.. what am i doing wrong? [03:06] th0r i just want simple bar [03:06] i'm trying to get wifi working but i can't start the gui and i can't get it to connect from the command line. there doesn't seem to be anything in /etc/network about my wifi connection [03:06] tracy69: won't $hr give you that? [03:07] turt1e: It is already installed [03:07] jeapostrophe: so it shows up with ifconfig in terminal? [03:07] th0r i dont know cuz i never used lua and the bar have to be for my gpu usage [03:07] jeapostrophe: what happens when you run nm-applet? [03:07] asdfasdfasdfasdf: why not just us ubuntu grub to boot fefora? [03:07] and i dont know how to configure lua [03:07] ChogyDan: nm-applet says there is no display [03:07] sacarlson, because Fedora is my primary distro. [03:07] latagore, fglrx is your video. that's the other proprietary driver it had problem installing. what about [03:08] mickster04: ifconfig and iwconfig show the device, but i don't see how to configure it [03:08] 'sudo apt-get --purge remove bcmwl-kernel-source' [03:08] (in particular the wpa settings) [03:08] asdfasdfasdfasdf: you can still boot fefora as default with the ubuntu grub [03:08] jeapostrophe: then your main problem is your lack of graphcs [03:08] that's what i said. i can't start the gui [03:09] turt1e: I will be heading to sleep in a bit [03:09] sacarlson, i know but i'm just testing ubuntu. Fedora's grub is already at MBR and it loads Fedora and Windows as well, i want to only add an entry to the ubuntu partition. don't want to change anything else. [03:09] th0r $hr will draw line not a moving bar :) [03:09] latagore, oops not sure if you got that acccidently hit return key. here it is again 'sudo apt-get --purge remove bcmwl-kernel-source' [03:09] jeapostrophe: then your wifi proly works [03:09] tracy69: you said you wanted a simple bar, not a bar graph . [03:10] no luck [03:10] i ran the disk check and it did the same thing, HDMI no signal [03:10] mickster04: i know it does not. (i am on a different computer) [03:10] latagore, ok... well give that a shot and best of luck getting it resolved. maybe someone else tomorrow will be able to help [03:10] asdfasdfasdfasdf: sound like fedora uses grub legacy, we use grub2, all that is needed is set ubuntu as your primary boot mbr and grub-update and it will boot your window, fedora, .... all that can be found on you system [03:10] can i enable the connection for all users from nm-applet? [03:10] th0r bar graph but simple like cpubar for my cpu [03:11] jeapostrophe: so why asking about wifi, if you have internet you can find guides on how to use wpa-supplicant to get wireless connected [03:11] asdfasdfasdfasdf: if you prefer the outdated method with grub legacy it's up to you. [03:11] there is nothing in conky i could use someone told me i could use lua but dont know how to do that [03:11] mickster04: what is wpa-supplicant? what should i read? [03:11] turt1e: could you give me the command again, I have a very silly IRC client [03:12] jeapostrophe: the internet is full of help:p wpa-supplicant will be used in connecting to wireless networks with wpa invoked [03:12] It's been a few hours, but I'll change the question a bit anyways: So here's my problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/487048/ My question is, what would I need to download to pass this mini test? I already have libgtk2.0-dev. [03:13] I am going to redownload the iso from the website and burn it to disk again..hopefully that is the problem [03:13] sacarlson, i know that. grub2 is newer, faster, better, cuter, as i said before i like Fedora the best, it suits my needs more. i'm just testing Ubuntu and all it's componets, whether i choose it as my default os in the future it's my choice. I do prefer the legacy version. IF you know the answer i ask you to please tell me =) [03:13] latagore, sure 'sudo apt-get --purge remove bcmwl-kernel-source' if that doesn't work then I don't know what will [03:14] asdfasdfasdfasdf: I don't think you understand. at boot you will see no difference. you will boot up in fedora by default. only if you chose to override default will you boot ubuntu. [03:14] turt1e: it says bad return status for module build on kernel [03:14] turt1e: I don't think it belongs to this kernel; I'll reinstall and try and install the driver again [03:15] Habstinat: is that what its asking for/ [03:15] turt1e: Dunno how I'll fix my wired connection though [03:15] turt1e: Thanks for your patience and help! :] Later [03:15] sacarlson, i think you don't understand. I do not want to use Grub2, i'd like to keep using legacy with an extra entry to Ubuntu if this is possible. I know advantages of using grub2. [03:15] asdfasdfasdfasdf: Add an entry with "root (hdX,Y); kernel /boot/grub/core.img" to fedora's menu.lst (where X and Y are replaced with the drive and partition containing Ubuntu). [03:15] mickster04: is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo#WPA%20Supplicant a good place? [03:16] yes [03:16] latagore, good night ! [03:16] !wpa jeapostrophe [03:16] !wpa | jeapostrophe [03:16] jeapostrophe: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:16] * root is lost === root is now known as Guest42456 [03:16] * Gnea looks in /lost+found [03:16] Jordan_U, oh nice i thought chainloader worked for everything :D great i'll do that thanks again (oh and ayou were indeed right , under advanced option there was an option to force Ubuntu to install grub to its partition =)) [03:17] mickster84: What do you mean? There was more before the part in pastebin by the way, but I didn't think it was necessary to post. I can't find gtk-config in a quick search of Synaptic if that's what you mean. [03:17] asdfasdfasdfasdf: chainloader would work as well, but this is more reliable (doesn't use blocklists). === lightpanzer is now known as aperson [03:18] Habstinat: well you are missing gtk stuff, but not neccessarily what you installed:p [03:18] are there any big gammers here because i wanted to ask if anyone has a opinion on which is better cedega or wine [03:18] Jordan_U, well unless im doing it wrong, it doesnt work. it says Error 13:Invalid... all i did was to add "title Ubuntu""rootnoverify(hdX,Y)""chainloader +1"... [03:19] mickster04: So how would I go about fixing this then? What packages would I need to install? [03:20] Habstinat: not sure yet, looing [03:20] asdfasdfasdfasdf: Did you add a space between 'rootnoverify' and '(hdX,Y)'? I assume that you replaced X and Y with actual numbers also. (and I really do recommend you use kernel rather than chainloader). [03:21] mickster04: Thanks. [03:21] i did all that and there are 3 lines. one for each command. [03:22] Habstinat: http://www.gtk.org/download-linux.html [03:22] Habstinat: try that see if it works:p [03:22] hi guys. Programming question: I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and I'm trying to use gtkmm in code::blocks, but the compiler is not finding all the include files... I've got them installed, and I'm trying to compile the hello world example straight from the gtkmm online docs... any one encounter anything like this or know how to solve it? [03:23] mickster04: Ok, trying it now. [03:23] Jordan_U, hmm hang on i think i chose ext4 as filesystem in Ubuntu partition. [03:23] iirc that was a problem with grub legacy. [03:24] mothdragon: did you install build-essential [03:25] Habstinat: im off now, so keep asking around if you need more help [03:26] bleh. coretemp.ko doesn't know about i3-530 or i5-570 in 2.6.32; or maybe it can't since specs from itel say they don't have temp. zones? i see atom-330 support. good. [03:27] sacarlson, yes it is installed... Everything seems to be installed, but for some reason the compiler hangs on including the various gtkmm headers... such as glibmm.h === bullgard4_ is now known as bullgard4 [03:29] Is anyone familiar with Qimo 4 kids [03:29] hello. I have a box with two harddrives (sda sdb) sda has ubuntu 10.04 on it and sdb has windows. Grub automatically sees it and gives me the option when I boot, however, if I select Windows the screen goes dark for a moment but then I am right back at the boot menu again. I have tried edited /etc/grub.d/40_custom with a windows entry that includes drivemap -s hd0 hd1 but the same thing happens when I try that option. any ideas? the FAQ is more for dual booting o [03:29] n a single drive and I have two... [03:29] sacarlson, I've managed to convince it to have no problems with including gtkmm/main.h, but anything that file wants to include it can't find [03:29] mothdragon: sounds like you need the libgtkmm-XX-dev [03:31] Anyone know if Lubuntu have the same repo as Ubuntu [03:32] Eclectic: yes [03:33] anyone actually know anything of value here? [03:33] xangua: thanks I'm not sure if i should install Xfce or Lxde to run Qimo 4 kids [03:33] gh: probably not, but you could pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg just curious [03:33] !attitude | gh [03:33] gh: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [03:36] ChogyDan, there you will see the automatic windows 7 entry that ubuntu made by default and mine below it [03:36] gh: this probly stupid to ask but from the secound boot menu did you ever try boot windows from there? seem I've had the problem that one grub just links to another but the secound gets me there. [03:36] gh: if you edit that 40_custom file you have to make sure others aren't executable or update grub reads those first [03:36] * gh sighs [03:36] i'm using ndiswrapper to connect to wireless..is there a way to have interenet connection without going into the applet to search for hidden networks ? [03:36] sacarlson, yes, over and over it keeps sending me back to the grub menu with the time reset [03:37] gh: sigh all you want but I suggest you follow our guidelines. [03:37] IdleOne, welcome to /ignore [03:38] gh: im sure you reloaded grub2 then [03:38] sacarlson, yep, each time after editing 40_custom [03:38] hi [03:38] hello [03:38] why ? [03:39] IdleOne, hi [03:39] gh: shouldn't need that custom thing. maybe just do the fix from windows then fix grub after that [03:39] <_pg_> hardware drivers 10.04 ubuntu [03:40] <_pg_> whoops [03:40] <_pg_> how can i force check for hardware drivers in ubuntu-the application wont find some but i know they exist [03:40] gh: here is my windows entry. Maybe you can use some of the things there: http://pastebin.com/SLnf5ssy gl [03:40] <_pg_> also, how to get to vlc lastest from 1.0.6 thats in synaptic? [03:41] ChogyDan, thank you, and FOR THE RECORD I was not trying to troll merely speeding up my place in line? [03:41] ChogyDan, I have tried playing with insmod ntfs as well [03:42] gh: That's not how this place works. I strongly urge you to correct your attitude towards the denizens of this channel. [03:42] Anyone here who has the patience to help a linux newbee with a question? [03:42] atm0s: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [03:43] gh: there really isn't a line. I do think you could relax a bit, even though your problem sucks allot === dad_ is now known as Guest86139 [03:44] man this is frustrating. I can see in gedit a location /etc/apt/sources.list but I cant edit it [03:44] I want the shell command 'apt-get update -y & apt-get upgrade -y' to run on boot before gnome starts.. [03:45] Guest86139: You need to use sudo (or gksu for graphical editors, such as gedit) [03:45] atm0s: no you don't [03:45] ok ok, I get it, thank you for your help, I will refrain from tourette typing [03:45] !maverick [03:45] Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [03:45] Guest86139, "gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" [03:45] Flannel oh thx [03:45] pretty sure i figured it out brb with results [03:45] gh: You accidentally installed grub to your windows partition, follow this guide to restore windows' PBR: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector [03:45] Iḿ running Lucide server x86, booting from ISCSI with a writable filesystem that gets restored on a new session (internet cafe).. === Maahes_ is now known as Maahes [03:46] Jordan_U, they are on separate harddrives, but thank you [03:46] hi === Anom01y is now known as Tangent_ === Tangent_ is now known as Anom01y [03:46] ZykoticK9 ok thx// can u suggest an anonymous ip program [03:46] atm0s: here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates [03:46] Does anybody know if Chrome's official packages have removed Flash? I'm not getting it to load (missing plugin) and I see that Adobe has pulled the 64-bit labs .so... [03:47] jrib: thanks [03:47] Man, I am still having nothing but trouble with this. [03:47] Redownloaded Ubuntu. Burned it to another DVD...tried again, same results. [03:48] Guest86139, "anonymous ip" no i cannot, i don't use anything like that. Isn't that what Tor does? [03:48] is there a way to have internet connection without going into the nm-applet to search for hidden networks at shell ? [03:48] quick question i have win64codecs installed and i have mplayer and smplayer but my .wmv's will not play still they worked on x86 when i had that so i know there playable [03:49] !motu [03:49] motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [03:49] ZykoticK9 I guess it does but there are missing repos and source list must be updated [03:50] tacomaster>> try VLC that usually works [03:50] I cannot get firefox to to play flash movies... I have installed the restricted drivers package and have also tried installing the the 3 plugins that firefox finds when I encounter the problem. They all show as installed, I have restarted the browser and still the same. [03:50] Raskah> did you try to install from the synaptic ? [03:50] Raskah: Remove all but the adobe plugin. [03:51] tacomaster, did you start by installing ubuntu-restriected-extras to see if that help? encrypted/DRMed wmv may not play regardless of the codecs you have installed. Good luck. [03:51] When starting an install of Ubuntu on my mac it automatically goes to HDMI NO SIGNAL and I am unable to get anything on the screen. Any ideas? [03:51] Raskah: Had the same problem, couldn't get the plugin to work no matter how hard I tried. The latest ff update magically solved my problem. Have you checked to see if you have the latest ff? [03:51] HAHA ok so it just randomly started working after an hour as soon as I ask >_> [03:52] mobasher, is this what you need http://crunchbang.org/archives/2007/12/18/configure-wireless-on-the-command-line/ [03:52] lol...we are all living in a unpredictable world [03:53] turtle>> i have ndiswrapper does that make a difference ? [03:53] hi [03:53] <^hiku> !hi | matrix [03:53] matrix: 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! [03:54] mobasher, hmmm I don't think it should. isn't ndiswrapper just a way of using windows based drivers? [03:54] <^hiku> yup [03:54] * burgjh sighs [03:54] <^hiku> turt1e: more for networking drivers [03:54] tried two different dvds also, same results. [03:54] turtle>> yea apprently it talks to the network manager ..so wasn't sure if that makes any difference..this is old school p4 bro :) [03:55] mobasher, never used ndiswrapper so not sure. actually this may be a more official link. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo [03:55] Eclectic: still around? [03:55] <^hiku> !ndiswrapper | mobasher [03:55] mobasher: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:55] is there an in depth book on the use and addition/deletion of entries of repositories for 10.04? My question is based on software that is not available via the software center and I would like updates when I sudo updates in terminal. === chong is now known as Guest4012 [03:56] turtle>>yea i realize that apparently the drivers supported are only working with ndiswrapper on this machine..it's p45ad2 asus board p4 system.. [03:56] ^hiku, thanks that's actually what I was trying to get him pointed to [03:56] <^hiku> Staticlv: if there is a deb source url for the software you would like to install, then there shouldn't be a problem [03:56] <^hiku> turt1e: =) np [03:57] Eclectic: /join #qimo if you have questions for us [03:57] what is the tool used to output the contents of a text file on command line?

Alot of times with newer wireless cards this is also the case. [04:00] <^hiku> *installed [04:00] <^hiku> !repeat burgjh [04:00] burgjh: have a VGA monitor there? [04:01] ^hiku: right, but for instance "Amaya". I typed sudo apt-get install Amaya. I got an error. So I downloaded the deb file and it installed perfectly. But i would like to add this to the repositories so if there are updates i am able to get them. [04:01] unofrunatly im using a mac mini..only had HDMI inputs [04:01] i tried with the DVI adapter to the monitor..same results [04:01] because it plugs into the HDMI input on both monitor and mac mini even with the adapter using the dvi cable [04:02] You can tell its reading the disks because you can feel and hear the drive spinning, etc [04:02] <^hiku> Staticlv: did the software company have a url in the same format as the default ubuntu url's? did they say you can add that to the source repo file? [04:02] join #androidnyc [04:03] and it shows the languege screen and the try ubuntu, install ubuntu or check disk for errors screen...and no matter which one I choose, the screen goes black for about 10 seconds then HDMI NO SIGNAL [04:03] ^hiku: so i need to look around the websites and see if they have instructions for adding to the repo list. otherwise I have to watch it myself? [04:04] so it is showing the disk up to a certain point [04:04] Anyone able to help me associate SMB sharing with a folder to share from ubuntu to a windows machine on the same network? [04:04] <^hiku> Staticlv: correct [04:05] <^hiku> Staticlv: maybe they have an rss feed you could monitor [04:05] ^hiku: well cool and bumber. thanks for your help. [04:06] <^hiku> Staticlv: anytime... =) [04:06] ^hiku: i will also look for email updates and rss feeds [04:06] <^hiku> Staticlv: there you go... forgot all about email lists [04:06] i can try plugging the mac into my tv.ill brb [04:08] Hello, So here's my problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/487048/ My question is, what would I need to download to pass this mini test? I already have libgtk2.0-dev. Someone else was helping me with this before, but he had to leave. I just finished compiling GTK+ 2.20 through http://www.gtk.org/download-linux.html by the way, but still no dice. [04:08] <^hiku> Habstinat: sudo apt-get install gtk2? [04:10] <^hiku> Habstinat: or sudo apt-get install libgtk2-0 [04:10] ok i installed win64codecs, ubuntu-restricted-extras, mplayer, and ,smplayer but i just get an error saying that i need to update smplayer to play it but i have done a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and no updates any thoughts [04:10] ^hiku: There is no package names "gtk2". From my research, libgtk2.0-dev is the one I want, and I already have that. [04:10] anyone know why I wouldn't have samba share settings when I right click on a folder? [04:10] tacomaster: also do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:10] <^hiku> Habstinat: hmm,ok have you tried aptitude? [04:11] divo, is samba installed? === darek is now known as Guest75708 [04:11] Izinucs: ok i have done that now as well 0 upgrade 0 newly installed [04:11] turt1e, yes [04:11] very [04:12] tacomaster: Can you provide an example of a file that won't play? [04:13] ^hiku: A quick search of Synaptic reveals no "libgtk2-0" package. [04:13] hi, apt-get fails often during the unpacking stage. Aptitude works fine. What can I do to narrow down what might be causing the problem? [04:13] Jordan_U: i am trying to play CBT Nuggets CCNA [04:13] so when you right click a folder you don't get the option "sharing" ? [04:13] I have the sharing option [04:14] kiamo, did you do a memtest [04:14] <^hiku> Habstinat: I see it when searching for "libgtk" [04:14] tacomaster: I have no idea what that means :) Can you provide a link? [04:14] just "share this folder" no option for smb [04:14] and when I enable sharing, it doesn't connect properly on my windows PC [04:15] undifined, no... but I don't really say why bad memory would only affect apt-get and nothing else. Do I misunderstand something? [04:15] Jordan_U: well not really unless you want to torrent [04:15] divo, you are trying to share a folder so a windows system can access it right? [04:15] yes [04:16] ^hiku: Did you mean "libgtk2.0-0"? If you did, I already have that installed. [04:16] Ok, Just tried the HDMI port in my TV. Same results as the monitor. Is anyone else using Ubuntu hooked up to HDMI? [04:16] kiamo, true, hmmm, versions of bzip zlib tar gzip put them in http://paste.ubuntu.com [04:16] divo, can you elaborate on "doesn't connect properly" ? meaning you don't see it at all or a permission problem... etc [04:16] Is is possible to run ubuntu on a fake raid and is it even worth the trouble? [04:17] <^hiku> divo: maybe this will help - http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=1590 [04:17] Ameth: Yes, and no. [04:17] Ameth: Unless you need to dual boot with windows I would recommend just using linux software RAID. [04:17] <^hiku> divo: are you running windows 7? [04:17] kiamo, bzip2 --version [04:18] yes [04:18] <^hiku> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1538216 [04:18] <^hiku> divo: try that link [04:18] undifined, ah thanks, that was my next question hehe [04:18] like... I installed samba, but the samba settings don't show up when I enable sharing on a folder like they used to (I reinstalled ubuntu today) [04:18] <^hiku> divo: oh... that's odd [04:19] only the ubuntu default share settings show up [04:19] Thank you Jordan_U, I am running Windows 7 but I don't want to mess with making a fake raid if its not worth it. [04:19] dont you have to open samba under the admin menu after install and add user and shares? [04:19] Ameth: You're welcome. [04:19] I rather just spend the money to buy a real riad card [04:19] I've added users and share permissions [04:19] *raid [04:20] I share videos and music over to a modded wii using sambu on my comp [04:20] it's linux mint 9, but based on ubuntu lucid [04:20] *samba [04:20] Ameth: You can always use Software RAID with linux but not windows, depending of course on how often / why you use windows. [04:21] like... yes, I was able to share this folder no problem last night. after reinstalling, I just don't have the option to choose the sharing gateway (?) [04:21] undifined, http://paste.ubuntu.com/487063/ [04:21] anyone know how to hide channel notifications in xchat? [04:21] dual boot is not recommended [04:22] ^hiku: So do you have any other suggestions? [04:22] <^hiku> jamesklyne: try- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=315262 === fork- is now known as forkup [04:22] <^hiku> Habstinat: sorry.. I don't get it... I thought the dev package should have taken care of that. [04:23] thx [04:23] <^hiku> jamesklyne: np [04:24] divo, you upgraded to 10.04 or reinstall 10.04 and then lost the settings? [04:24] so easy i feel stupid :) [04:24] <^hiku> jamesklyne: yeah, it happens to us all [04:24] I remember last time the first time I ever set up folder sharing in ubuntu it gave me the option to install samba and enabled samba sharing when I went into sharing options. [04:25] turt1e: I just reinstalled [04:25] Habstinat, out of curiosity ...what are you trying to compile? [04:25] Anyone else then? In case you didn't catch my problem before: Hello, So here's my problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/487048/ My question is, what would I need to download to pass this mini test? I already have libgtk2.0-dev and libgtk2.0-0. Two other people were helping me with this before, but one had to leave and one couldn't solve the problem. I just finished compiling GTK+ 2.20 through http://www.gtk.org/download-linux.html by the way, b [04:25] ut still no dice. [04:25] Habstinat: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:26] Habstinat, what is the "mini test" ? [04:26] * Sir_Letos is away: I'm away [04:26] coz_: I'm trying to compile this Genesis emulator: http://www.squish.net/generator/cbiere/generator/ [04:26] * kiamo has quit (Ping timeout: 300 seconds) [04:27] hi [04:27] Habstinat, ok let me take a look at this and try it out... hold on... if I get this i will let you know [04:27] is there a program or way to do total encrpytion of the hard drive [04:27] and still be able to use ubutnu? [04:27] flyguy, yes. But as far as I'm aware you have to do it when you format and partition the hard drive [04:28] coz_: The "mini test" I'm talking about is how it checks for a bunch of packages, and you can only compile it if you have them all, and what's in the pastebin are the two packages out of the many that it thought I didn't have. [04:28] did you set the smb shares as visible? [04:28] coz_: Thanks a lot by the way. [04:29] New Ubuntu user, what steps should I take to secure my system? [04:30] Xavierdarkness, Update it [04:30] Xavierdarkness, install software only through package management, and don't use root except for 'admin' tasks where you really have to [04:30] Any need for antivirus? [04:30] nope [04:30] kiamo, i am not sure, I was thinking of md5sum a file, compressing it, decompressing it and do md5sum again [04:31] find me an ubuntu virus... ;) [04:31] How would I cut a small clip from a video? [04:31] Xavierdarkness, not unless you also use windows machines. [04:31] zcat[1], tht would be xchat [04:31] kiamo, what is the ability called? [04:31] what's wrong with xchat? other than being a huge time-vampire... [04:31] divo, sorry stepped away. so you just reinstalled samba? [04:32] sorry... reinstalled ubuntu [04:32] flyguy, Im not sure.. give me a minute to google [04:32] This is how it worked out for me when I installed the first time:http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/05/19/how-to-share-files-and-folders-in-ubuntu/ [04:32] Most of the systems in my house are running windows. I actually switched after windows bluescreened on my laptop [04:32] undifined, give me a mo, then I will figure out how to do that hehe [04:32] zcat[1], there are malwares though [04:32] Now, the only settings I have in shared folders are : http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/8405/screenshotvideoproperti.png [04:33] kiamo, :) [04:33] undifined, so only install software through package management... [04:33] there's no malware in the repos [04:33] vs. http://www.simplehelp.net/images/sharedubuntu/fileshare03.png [04:33] divo, that image you posted is the same share info I get on my system running ubuntu 10.04 [04:34] I don't think there's any serious malware anywhere else that targets Linux, but in theory there's just as much risk from a trojan .deb as from a trojan .msi or .dmg.... [04:34] divo: i used the system-config-samba package to configure my smb. works great [04:34] zcat[1], true, but there are broken applications that aren't to be fixed [04:34] flyguy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto I haven't read this but it looks like it might be useful to you. It's been aaaages since I set up an encrypted filesystem, and I've only done it once. GL :) [04:34] divo: the built in folder sharing did not work for me [04:35] kiamo, I do have to warn on ecryption [04:35] divo, the 2nd image you posted.... is that from an ubuntu 10.04 install? or from a prior version of ubuntu? [04:35] flyguy, do encryption initially on a testbed [04:35] hello [04:36] flyguy, i encrypted /home/$user and found certain apps could not handle it [04:36] hello spoken [04:36] where does ubuntu store downloaded packages again? [04:36] I should reinstall my laptop fully encrypted.. running it at the moment with no login password, no screensaver/hibernate password, and insecure password storage, [04:36] turt1e: that was the same settings I had previously on 10.04 [04:36] i'm looking for some help on the network manager applet - it seems to have disappeared from my new 10.04 install [04:36] those were* [04:36] but I have notification panel on [04:37] undifined, any particular compression you want me to use? Or should I just try them all...? [04:37] Maahes: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [04:37] but if it ever gets stolen it wget's my homepage as a cron job.. so I have an IP to track down as soon as they connect to the web anywhere [04:37] * Maahes would like the ability to have a "live" distro with a login setup (for usb) and an encrypted persistence volume [04:37] kiamo highest would be best [04:37] anyway, thanks for trying, but I gotta take off [04:37] thankyou bastidrazor [04:37] I'll try to figure it our tomorrow [04:37] night all [04:37] Maahes: you're welcome [04:37] kiamo, we want to trigger behaviour to reporduce [04:38] any one know what drivers to use with the new touchpad of sony saio ??? [04:38] halfway through writing a script so it will also report any AP's nearby, which I can look up the location of through google [04:39] kiamo, md5sum $file && bzip2 $file && bunzip2 $file && md5sum $file [04:40] Habstinat, so far no luck with that particular emulator compile [04:40] zcat[1]: how does that looking up on google bit work? [04:40] Habstinat, hold on [04:40] undifined, highest? Which one is the highest compression lol? [04:40] Habstinat, if you are interested in any sega emulation, I'd highly recommend you try out gens, or gens-gs [04:40] if i have a 64 bit prossesor i have a i686 right? [04:40] divo: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_en_S6JwItgo/TH8cS_nonOI/AAAAAAAAADs/g3BOssyg1mQ/s1024/smbscreen.png [04:40] ahh damn [04:40] kiamo, bzip2 --best [04:41] coz_: Ok, and ZykoticK9: I may try that as a last resort, but I really want to get this specific emulator running. [04:41] kiamo, man bzip2 [04:41] Habstinat, is this one generator particularly special in some way? have you tried dgen [04:41] tacomaster, 64bit is x86_64 from "uname -m" [04:41] Habstinat, ok let me continue to search for the problem [04:41] aetaric, there's a website you can look up the MAC address, google streetview cars record the approx location of any AP they pass, so if you know a few MAC addresses you can get a pretty accurate picture of where the laptop is [04:42] ZykoticK9: so x86 is i386 and x86_64 is just x86_64? [04:42] Does anyone know if the current proprietry ATI driver in ubuntu 10.04 does eyeinfinity? Or can run 2 monitors in any way? [04:42] hi everybody. i'm with troubles in my ubuntu. could some one help me? [04:42] coz_: Yes, I have tried dgen. It just gives me a black box when I try to open Zero Wing (And I tried with two different (or... same) Zero Wing roms). [04:42] zcat[1]: do you have the site? [04:42] hi everybody. i'm with troubles in my ubuntu. could some one help me? [04:43] tacomaster, i think you have it? [04:43] Habstinat, mm ok give a few minutes here [04:43] zcat[1], that is great, but google went through my town but skipped my street [04:43] coz_: Ok, thanks a lot for your help :) [04:43] tacomaster, the i386 versions don't include Pentium and later optimizations; i686 ones do. Both are for 32-bit x86 architecture. [04:43] My ubuntu 10.04 is too slow in my quad core. [04:44] they got mine.. and all the AP's in range of my house. Can't find the page I looked them up on but mine was listed as being just two houses out from where I actually live.. pretty close [04:44] rammslindo, odd [04:44] rammslindo: what quad core? [04:44] jk_: then what is the one for 64 bit like i have? [04:44] core 2 quad? [04:44] undifined, oh I see, I meant whether to check bzip2 or gzip or rar. [04:45] Habstinat, I did find an ubuntu post with a deb package for this generator but apparenlty the guy who created has taken the link down hold on [04:45] tacomaster, x86_64 or in some cases they may be called amd_64. the amd_64 packages work with Intel also.

[04:45] undifined, checsums are all the same [04:46] any one know what drivers to use with the new touchpad of sony saio ??? [04:46] chris_osx, ah ok, yes. i have a core 2 quad [04:46] checked bzip2, bzip2 best, and gzip [04:46] kiamo, ok, then we try gzip [04:46] Habstinat, that post says that the one you want will not work on curren tubuntu and instead links to this site http://segaretro.org/Gens/GS?rdfrom=http%3A%2F%2Finfo.sonicretro.org%2Findex.php%3Ftitle%3DGens%2FGS%26redirect%3Dno [04:46] kiamo, and then tar [04:46] rammslindo: how can ubuntu 10.04 be slow on your machine, that's weird [04:46] need help. my ubuntu 10.04 won't connect to wireless network!!!! [04:46] undifined, not sure how to check tar... its weird lol [04:46] I'm trying to get my CPU to run a little cooler so I dropped the cpu voltage in bios by about .075v. Ubuntu still works fine, & I can even get virtualbox winxp to work without any problems, but after ubuntu boots to the desktop, my keyboard only gets power after a couple minutes, & my mouse (which does get power) only starts to work after I switch alt-F1 to terminal & back, if I'm lucky. Does that make any sense? [04:47] undifined, give me a mo to man it [04:47] does ubuntu universe get any security updates?

[04:49] what will record a screen session so it can be played back? on win and linux playback... not the whole screen. just the webbrowser [04:49] kiamo, tar -cvf $file [04:49] undifined, "tar c filename" is that syntax ok? [04:49] aaaaaah good timing lol [04:49] don't forget the f [04:49] :) [04:49] Habstinat, good luck with that :) that is about the most info i can find ...you could google with this search string ubuntu sega emulators [04:49] chris_osx, do you know when the computer is using 100% of memory and cpu. it becomes too slow.... [04:50] chris_osx, do you know when the computer is using 100% of memory and cpu? it becomes too slow.... [04:50] undifined, tar called me a coward ! lol!! [04:50] yeah odd. It runs fast on my dual core. Trade? [04:50] HELP guys!!!!!!! [04:50] chris_osx, but there not a hard process running. [04:51] lol @ Shaun [04:51] im my notebook the same version, installed with the same cd is running ok. [04:52] never used wubi sorry [04:53] I'v been wondering what the big difference other than aesthetics of new Ubuntu upgrades; what is being improved that would make an upgrade worth the time. [04:53] coty91, I'd guess security and optimization [04:53] coz_: Aaargh :P Gens/GS doesn't support my 64-bit computer... Going to look for some others. [04:54] well that sounds logical, zeno. [04:54] Habstinat, oh man [04:54] Habstinat, this is turning out to be a pain :) [04:54] undifined, good call! checksum is different after untarring [04:54] Habstinat, I am sure one will show up... trust google for this one :) [04:54] kiamo, oh dear ..

Thanks a lot for your help too. [04:57] kiamo, http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/tar.html [04:57] Habstinat, no problem sorry I couldnt find one for you [04:57] sacarlson: It's a Genesis emulator. [04:58] kiamo, http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/ [04:58] Habstinat: ya I looked back 2 pages and found your post. I run 32bit virtualbox in my 64bit system if that would help. you can run it in there I guess. [04:59] Hello? [04:59] @sacarlson, Maybe, but I think I may be able to get http://www.squish.net/generator/download.html working. Trying it now. [04:59] Habstinat: what I mean is you can run a ubuntu 32bit inside ubuntu 64bit in virtualbox. that's what I had to do to get my canon printer to work. [04:59] Habstinat: ok [05:00] kiamo, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+package/tar [05:00] Big linux noob here. Just booted Backtrack 4 from a flash drive and now I can't boot Windows. Can anyone help me? I'm pretty desperate to fix this. [05:00] aghh, you may want to check out #backtrack [05:00] this is for ubuntu [05:01] Right, sorry guys. [05:01] sacarlson: I understand, but it would be better to have one that runs without virtualization if possible, because that's a pain to start up every time you want to just run an emulator and it takes up quite a bit of resources :P [05:01] need help, my newly installed ubuntu 10.04 won't connect and cant even detect my wireless network!!!! [05:01] Habstinat: true [05:02] undifined, so is 1.22 what is used in lucid? If so, shouldn't other people be experiencing problems? [05:03] my system hangs on /scripts/init-bottom ? [05:03] what does that mean? [05:03] kiamo, yours may be damaged or you're experiancing one of the bugs that got fixed [05:04] undifined, aye, can i just compile it over the top, or should I remove the current tar version? [05:04] kiamo, try the launchpad version first [05:05] I have an ongoing issue with 2 desktops here both running a fresh install of 10.04 and fully updated ... basically when powering on it will 8 times out of 10 take forever for the grub menu to show up ... and sometimes it never does and your have to reset the system .... Why is this happening? [05:05] where can i read about the recent ubuntu kernel update? [05:06] Hi, [05:06] i have .net application that runs on a Windows server, and the clients are Windows Xp work stations, i will install mono on my ubuntu box to connect to that server, but what shall i do to run the client application and let it use mono instead of .net frame work, BTW that application uses ver 3.5, .... Thanks! [05:06] zetheroo1: Is there hard drive access during this time? Do you always see "GRUB" if you hold shift while booting? [05:07] windows has bitlocker, does ubuntu have anything similar? [05:07] zetheroo1: hm. I have similiar issues when I have a CDROM in my drive. === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [05:07] Jordan_U: sometimes there is hdd access and sometimes none ... as in either the hdd LED is solid red or it's off altogether [05:07] xnixan: install mono. [05:07] Jordan_U: I have not tried with SHIFT down [05:08] muellisoft: no CDrom in here ... [05:08] Shaun: hm. sounds like you're lacking a driver. [05:08] any one know what drivers to use with the touchpad of sony saio ??? [05:09] flyguy: Yes, there are a few options for file / disk encryption in Ubuntu. I recommend using the encrypted home option in the installer. [05:10] i'm not sure what its called but in windoze i could click with the mouse wheel and scroll up or down by moving the mouse... is that something available in linux? [05:10] Jordan_U: the odd thing is that it seems to only be occurring on desktops ... I have 4 laptops running Ubuntu and none have this issue [05:10] karma_police, that's called autoscroll [05:10] what web browser are you using? [05:10] Muelli, i had already installed mono vie badgeports.org, but sorry for that question, what shall i do after that, i know how to run win app with wine, but how to run win app that needs .net frame work with mono, thanks [05:10] chris_osx: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+changelog , though that's a bit terse. [05:11] xnixan: mono yourapp.exe [05:11] LOL [05:11] that's it!!! [05:11] cool.. ty.. just googled instructions.. never knew what that was called..lol [05:11] Muelli, thanks, i will do it! [05:12] kiamo, how are things going ? [05:12] zetheroo1: My guess is that you have grub installed to a different drive than the one holding your /boot partition, but that shouldn't be causing slow downs like this in lucid's grub2. [05:12] any new knews for netflix streaming or moonlight? [05:12] news* [05:12] jordan, that encrypts only the home directory not the whole drivge4, right? [05:13] flyguy: Yes, but generally the only sensitive information is going to be in /home. You can also do full disk encryption but I don't think there is any point to that in most cases. [05:14] Oh, so "encrypt underlying drive" meant /home? [05:14] flyguy, I have tried encryption on my admin user, hmmm, i really had issues there [05:15] Jordan_U: thanks [05:15] chris_osx: You're welcome. [05:20] Does anyone know if the current proprietry ATI driver in ubuntu 10.04 does eyeinfinity? Or can run 2 monitors in any way? [05:20] undifined, I have to go out :( Thanks for you're help, I will persevere later :) [05:21] I'll be around [05:23] any idea why my system would hang after /scripts/init-bottom? [05:23] has anyone noticed the relationship between the latest kernel updates and the new adobe 10 update to the adobe in firefox dragging and not running smoothly? [05:24] hi.. how do I change the font on the virtual terminals back to the original one? [05:25] (the terminals that show up when I press alt+ctrl+f1, etc) [05:25] punto: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup [05:26] punto, I don't know... but I am curious as to how you changed it to begin with [05:26] turt1e: it changes on its own to a skinny one === Guest83115 is now known as Black_Phantom [05:30] ok, that's better, thanks [05:31] hi every one [05:31] hi [05:31] can someone help me get my system running again [05:32] mintypu: i've broken my systems about six ways recently, maybe you've done a similar thing and i can help, but i'm no expert [05:33] !ask [05:33] 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. :-) [05:35] while using my pc update manager came up to download and install routine security updates after it had finished I was prompted to restart my computer when I did this is the message I am getting after the post screen [05:35] instead of all this bad news we normaly see here, I have good news. my flash video play seems smooth now in full screen mode after I installed my nvidia propriatary drivers. before at full screen like in youtube it was slow to update the screen.

[05:40] brandon420, 42 [05:41] turt1e: don't know never checked, I'll take a look [05:41] Hi all. [05:41] Is boxee removed from the Ubuntu repos.? [05:41] Was* [05:41] can any one tell me what does this message mean udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured [05:41] MadRobot: yea, but there is a .deb download I think [05:43] illac, yup. [05:44] illac, thanks. [05:45] turt1e: i'm not sure how to check when it's running in full screen but even when not in full screen it seems to us 100% of one cpu full system shows as much as 60% cpu use [05:48] sacarlson, yeah mine will usually peg one cpu to 60% to 80%. I swear adobe flash player is a bloated mess [05:48] hi. does someone know where to get sources for http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35.4-maverick/ ? [05:51] hello. anyone knows where the lock for synaptic is located? [05:55] guys is there a way to check up ATI gpu Load and ati GPU temp in ubuntu ? === Xavierdarkness is now known as Xavier|Away [05:57] jb__: is your lock permanent after reboot? [05:58] jb__, how about this one /var/lib/dpkg/lock [05:59] thanks, that's what i did [05:59] now it says i should run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" to correct the problem cause dpkg was interrupted :( [06:00] guys is there a way to check up ATI gpu Load and ati GPU temp in ubuntu ? [06:00] hm okay... it's still stuck!! [06:01] now dpkg retries to install the package that hung synaptic [06:01] jb__: Did you reboot before trying to run dpkg again? removing lock files should only be done if you are absolutely sure there will be no conflicts. [06:01] tracy69, try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1566126 [06:01] jb@desktop:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a [06:01] [sudo] password for jb: [06:01] Paramétrage de firefox (3.6.8+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1) ...

[06:02] jb__: killall firefox === root is now known as Guest12986 [06:02] no process found :p [06:03] plouffe, u know this is my tread :) [06:03] it all started when i upgraded firefox [06:03] how can you recover data using ubuntu? [06:03] jb__: try sudo apt-get install -f [06:04] i think firefox-branding is the package that caused the hang === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero [06:04] then i had to kill synaptic [06:05] jb__: you seems you might have more than one problem. in firefox can you try safe-mode? [06:05] firefox seems to work fine [06:06] jb__: ok so in synaptic can you see what packages are broken? [06:07] IdleOne, it's the same.. it says dpkg was interrupted, and i need to run manually: 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' [06:07] hi, i am somehow not able to get ubuntu server running on a system... i am just getting to the point after the hd check and then getting "loading operating system" which is stuck... i pushed a pxe harddrive image over from ubuntu desktop and that one is booting... [06:07] and doing that hangs again [06:07] now my guess is that something is wrong in grub [06:08] is it possible to start the system from usb and just put grub on to the usb stick? [06:08] I guess soemthing is broken :( [06:08] just for checking purpose [06:08] jb__: ok I hate to say this but try a reboot, not sure how that will help if any. [06:08] thx I'll try that then [06:08] should i remove /var/lib/dpkg/lock first? [06:09] sure, that doesn't hurt [06:09] how to specify a specific folder for dpkg [06:09] hi all [06:10] im having trouble with the volume controls on my multimedia keyboard [06:10] Hounddog: seem's you already booted with pxeboot with success? [06:10] yes pxeboot runs and i was able to install the ubuntu desktop per pxe and is booting then also normally [06:11] How can I know which settings version of menuconfig are current ? [06:11] if i install debian/ubuntu server it is not starting [06:11] Hounddog: so if that works why do you need a usb boot? [06:11] because i do nopt have a pxe boot [06:11] i only put the clonezilla image per pxe [06:12] and that is ubuntu desktop... i require the ubuntu server [06:12] does anyone know anything about getting multimedia HIDs to work? [06:13] i did not want to have the drbl server in my virtualbox running all the time. [06:13] it's still the same.. synaptic fails on startup with: E: dpkg a été interrompu, vous devez lancer manuellement 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' pour corriger le problème. [06:13] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [06:13] sacarlson you understood what i mean? [06:13] Hi! [06:14] woa this time the command worked [06:14] Hounddog: well I guess you didn't setup pxe to boot ubuntu, do you have ubuntu on something else then? with that you can create a usbboot disk [06:14] How can I know which settings version of menuconfig are current ? Are they corresponding to the current kernel ? [06:15] IdleOne, okay, it seems fixed now lol :) thx [06:15] jb__: glad to hear it [06:15] weird shit anyway [06:15] How can I know which settings version of menuconfig are current ? Is it corresponding to the current kernel ? [06:15] sacarlson one min... i think you are confusing something... this is not a pxe issue.

[06:22] in 5 minutes i will now if the install is working... i can also exclude a hardware, i have 2 servers with same hardware and both have same problem [06:23] faizaff: there is no magical command. you would need to install from an Ubuntu CD to do what you're wanting.

[06:24] !firewall | Xavierdarkness [06:24] Xavierdarkness: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist.

[06:24] Scarlson: after booting from cd, how do I go to the installed version to correct! [06:24] faizaff: if it worked before you eather upgraded your kernel or installed drivers. you can try boot the older kernel if you upgraded or you can rename the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to disable the drivers [06:25] Just explain me that how to.. [06:25] I don't know witch you did [06:26] I'm using the Emerald window decorator in my GNOME 10.04, and I changed my pointer icon to one other than the default (White DMZ) one, and the pointer has changed in my applications, but not on my window decoration and not on my desktop, what's wrong, and how can I fix this? (Can provide version numbers of applications if necessary) [06:26] I corrected my monitor settings in Nvidya settings after updating the drivers [06:26] faizaff: ok then that's probly it [06:26] sacarlson: I think that the most recent kernel updates stop supporting 1024*768 config [06:26] !emerald | traskmind [06:26] traskmind: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives.

I can see the folders now [06:30] faizaff: ok from a terminal cd /media [06:30] traskmind: i too was a big fan of emerald several years ago. i was sad to see it dropped. [06:31] bastidrazor, only problem I'm having with it is the cursor.. [06:31] sacarlson: I am using UBUNTU as a VM in VirtualBox though. [06:32] yes done [06:32] faizaff: in the media dir ls [06:32] faizaff: the you should see your mounted disk cd into that [06:33] How can I know which settings version of menuconfig are current ?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [06:34] traskmind, i imagine it's actually a compiz issue over an emerald one (in this particular case), compiz seems to be having issues with mouse pointers these days, disabling compiz will often get customized cursors working properly. just a guess mind you, best of luck.

But it didn't start out that way.. [06:56] dwxreaper, do you think it might be that the 10TB raid might be slowing it down? I download to the system drive, then move files to the raid..

[07:15] frobisher, that wont work. I know how to change my wallpaper just fine, just the login area is still purple. [07:15] krkhan !!!!!! are you there? [07:16] whens ubuntu replacing windows..? [07:17] would there be any implications if i install the ubuntu server into a virtualbox, then take an image and shift it to the system? [07:17] when it gets stable [07:17] and consumer-friendlier [07:18] Hounddog: You're going to have to manually assign partitions and grub entries [07:19] hmmm with ubuntu i did not have to do that [07:19] i just want to try something...

[07:23] errr.. I forgot [OMG], gonna check ... [07:23] I had a time when the Ubuntu 8.04.1 has a recurring BusyBox error (I had to chkdsk /r on the Windows partition [yes, it's dual booting]). [07:24] hehe, yep, ext4 [07:24] guess it's one of those side effects... [07:24] * qraqq scribbles a note in his Black Book Of Ext4 [07:24] so, chkdsking helps? [07:25] see for yourself. i don't use ext4 [07:25] yeah, it clears off the Busy box once the Windows finishing chkdsking (takes time).

[07:34] hi friends i want to learn .NET on ubuntu.Installed the monodevelp.But i cannot find the buttons,boxes and all those things to create the user interface [07:34] aren't those .NET specific? meaning m$ only? [07:35] mono does not have the rights to that, iirc [07:35] arunkumar413: the .NET language is an MS product, so you might need to use the WineHQ application. [07:36] I just lost my network connection in the middle of apt-get upgrade and now I am getting these errors http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=mQ2McrGe [07:36] what vnc client will scale the remote screen locally?

Alternatively, look into something like the gtk bindings for c# for gui building [07:40] surely they, like most other project channels, have a slue of links to faqs/howtos/documents about it [07:40] or don't use C# [07:41] hello [07:41] gh: yes, it was. now I get a nice msg making the same suggestion as DrMrHorse :) [07:41] =] [07:42] ^-^ [07:42] gh DrMrHorse: seems to be working, thanks.

[07:53] #ubuntu-br [07:54] I have installed rkhunter and tripwire & I want rkhunter to use tripwire in its checks, but it doesn't... The log file always says "Check skipped - tripwire not installed" === niku2 is now known as niku [07:56] well, there might be a way to get it to sort of reset itself, but when a file is locked by a program not much can happen until the program releases it, or the program exits [07:56] how o I launch clamscan so that it doesn't say 'ok' for each good file, but outputs only lines with infections? [07:56] do* [07:57] i'm having problem with some partitions if anyone could lend me an ear [07:58] i'm trying to grow a partition so that my data drive will be larger, but it won't let me expand using the 84 gigs [08:00] in answer to my own question, devkit-disks now appears to be called udisks [08:00] amgarching: could you put the partition layout in a pastebin? [08:00] gh: I was running apt-get over ssh and my network died so I think it was apt-get that left them locked [08:01] Aemaeth: What program, and in what way won't it let you? Does it give an error message? [08:02] Jordan_U, i'm trying with Gparted, it says ext4 has ability to "grow" i use "Resize/Move" and it only lets me make it smaller :( [08:03] Aemaeth: Could you post a screenshot?

[08:10] Well, evolution is a useless program if you have more than one pop account... back to thunderbird I guess... [08:11] typical republican propaganda [08:11] crohakon: why? [08:11] checking system version (for dynamic loading)... ./configure: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string [08:13] Aemaeth: this is the reason i use LVM, much better support for moving and resizing partitions [08:13] hi folks [08:13] lvm? [08:13] Aemaeth: that is alot of GBs. [08:13] odb|fidel, I have more than one account, I want more than one inbox. I have no desire to spend an hour setting up filters. It makes no sense to spend the time when I can just install thunderbird and have the functionality I want. Who ever thought it was a good idea to have only one inbox for all pop accounts was an idiot. [08:14] Aemaeth: yes, LVM [08:14] crohakon:i do have 4 (imap) accounts in evolution - each with its own inbox [08:14] Does anyone in here use twinview on ubuntu? [08:14] Stale, is on laptop [08:15] can someone assist me in trying to re-install grub... I installed ubuntu 10.04 onto the same SSD that my Windows 7 is on, but on a 2nd partition, and grub didn't install or at least it looked like it installed but after reboot, only windows loads up, don't get a dual boot option [08:15] odb|fidel, Yes, IMAP accounts are treated differently. For some reason POP accounts don't get the privilege of being separate by default. [08:15] crohakon: k - whyever you are using pop ;) [08:16] crohakon, odb|fidel: i can recommend fdm [08:16] odb|fidel, because in order to check 2 of my 3 account I need to use pop. I highly doubt the organizations hosting these accounts are going to change this for me and me alone.

[08:22] atarya: try it [08:22] 这是什么？ [08:22] chu_: The people at the winehq (#winehq) say to use 'gnumeric' instead. Less CPU power too. [08:22] illmortal: No, definitely not (that would make windows unbootable). Install grub to sdb, not to any partitions like sdb1.

It seems sometimes when I download a file it becomes corrupt, but other times it's fine? (Just download one of the previous documents and it works, but I have the same document where it doesn't work). [08:28] hello [08:28] magnetron: so you'r saying that there is nothing to do? [08:28] Aemaeth: you ment my boat?? [08:28] chu_: it is likely to a problem with your internet connection, I'd recommend you try a download manager such as downthemall which could possibly help [08:29] yep, i think, are you having problems or just no supe cool graphics drivers? [08:29] atarya: well if Hardware Drivers doesn't list anything, it's most probable because no good proprietary drivers exist. the one you got by default works though, right? [08:29] i often wonder if games would work better with nvidia [08:29] magnetron: not good enough. i need more resolution options [08:30] atarya: that's probably not caused by the driver [08:31] ziroday: Yeah, it seems to be downloading the files in parts, just checked the same file in three different versions (all corrupt) and they've all got different gibberish in them. [08:31] atarya: seems like it's a screen setting problem [08:31] trying to shrink that partition see if it will move then, i'm not hopeful [08:31] excuse me for intruding, i need help, alt-gr only works in the terminal and nowhere else, i cant write (at) symbol and such, any idea how can i fix this? [08:31] chu_: what site are you downloading them from? (if you don't mind sharing) [08:31] magnetron: no - my screen is fine. when i used my old nvidia it was perfect [08:31] ziroday: my university's wattle site.

[08:41] well, change the hostname and some other variables [08:41] rafu: ~/.profile [08:41] strategery [08:41] chu_: ah, well then that may be your issue. I can't seem to find a download manager for chromium but you could try gwget [08:42] !hostname | rafu [08:42] rafu: 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. [08:42] reeniginEesreveR: log [08:42] oly562, nothing returned by "sudo cat /var/log/messages | grep mysql_safe" [08:42] ChrisMorgan: so there are files you want to keep inside the NTFS partition? [08:43] ok, thx! [08:43] sacarlson: no, I want to scrap the NTFS partition entirely. I've copied all I want on it into ~ [08:43] ziroday: Thanks for the help, I just installed DownThemAll for future, just in case. Stale and Aemaeth thanks aswell. [08:43] ChrisMorgan, we might be having the same problem, it won't let you move partitions around? [08:43] never use CAT [08:43] mysqld_safe [08:44] is there a way to use the ubuntu messaging menu on xubuntu? [08:44] reeniginEesreveR: sorry its better when I drive lol [08:44] oly562, pardon? [08:44] Just in case someone knows, Does anybody know how to install wine on an Ubuntu 7.04 (The Fiesty Fawn). [08:44] reeniginEesreveR: referring to my typos, I use tabcomplete in cmdline [08:44] chu_: Glad to help. [08:45] hehe [08:45] Aemaeth: at first I was just trying to shrink the NTFS partition and ignore the issue... but gparted wouldn't shrink it properly, so I'm trying to get rid of the partition. I'm quite happy to reformat the entire disk - so long as I'll be able to get Ubuntu back as it currently is (approximately). [08:45] how can i access the keyboard setting where it asks me to type some letters to determine my keyboard layout? like when i installed ubuntu (lucid) [08:45] ChrisMorgan: so I"m not sure what clonezilla will do. I was just reading what it is. why not just format the now unused partition and start using it? [08:45] * Leroy hops behind the wheel of oly562's ride [08:45] ;) [08:45] reeniginEesreveR: im looking for errors in your logs, messages, whatever, whereever [08:45] oly562, so does it mean mysql is not getting logged? [08:45] Stale: you'll need to upgrade using the old-release servers. See !eol for more info [08:46] * undifined whishes Leroy got chased by boars [08:46] reeniginEesreveR: you have a logger showing in your pastebin [08:46] sacarlson: mainly because I want to use it all as one partition. I'm wanting to install several virtual machines in the space, so I'd need to mount it as ~/.VirtualBox or something like that... not the neatest solution, really. [08:46] ChrisMorgan: Maybe you can delete thos 'unneeded' partitions? [08:46] Stale: 7.04 hasn't been supported for years now, you need to upgrade. [08:46] reeniginEesreveR: but your messages maybe have been rolled over, or simply they are getting logged elsewhere per logger [08:46] * Leroy runs and hides from undifined's wild boars [08:47] reeniginEesreveR: they are getting logged, look at your /etc/my.cnf [08:47] Then also there's the slight issue that it was dual boot - so the NTFS partition is actually the one with the boot flag. Not certain if I could just switch the boot flag to the ext4 partition and have it work or not... [08:47] ChrisMorgan, i deleted ntfs and am trying to expand a data partition, but adding to the partition is being troublesome since it's not after the original (or so i'm told) [08:47] ChrisMorgan: I use a different partition to hold my ~./Virtualbox directory so I have plenty of space for them [08:47] are there any autofs experts here? [08:47] ChrisMorgan: The boot flag only matters when you're using a microsoft style mbr. [08:48] oly562, this line is commented out: #log = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log [08:48] sacarlson: I was just planning on having one partition for all of them. Then it's not an issue at all how the space is distributed [08:48] ChrisMorgan: I just create a symlink to the partition that's in my home [08:48] reeniginEesreveR: enable it [08:48] problem is the the following: want to use the /net directory to automount remote nfs exports [08:48] oly562, it also says that this is a performance killer [08:48] and less that file mysql.log, pastebin it [08:48] i have enabled the line "/net -hosts"in /etc/auto.master [08:49] oh i just nticed this line: # Error logging goes to syslog. This is a Debian improvement :) [08:49] reeniginEesreveR: typically on nix, services such as mysql are auto logged to messages [08:49] ChrisMorgan: so you need is to reformat it and create a symlink [08:49] ziroday: Jordan_U: I want to keep the benefit of running a old fast PC. I admit that I know how to install Ubuntu 8.04.1, but the RAM requirements are a bit tight (yeah, I have thirty characteristic). [08:49] Jordan_U: so currently it boots grub from the NTFS partition - you reckon it would work just switching the boot flag to sda5 (my ext4 partition)? [08:49] reeniginEesreveR: via the syslog facility [08:49] reeniginEesreveR: which is now called newsyslog [08:49] server exporting the shares is run under opensolaris, the exports are exported zfs filesystems [08:49] So, I am swimming in legacy systems? lol. [08:50] ChrisMorgan: I'm saying that the boot flag doesn't matter at all, it's completely ignored. [08:50] Stale: you can use a lighter version of ubuntu such as xubuntu if you'd prefer. [08:50] reeniginEesreveR: find the logs whereever they are, and look for errors [08:50] when tryind to use the following [08:50] Oh. So at the moment I'm merely under the /illusion/ that it's starting from the NTFS partition? :-) [08:50] oly562, i've got this in the syslog: Sep 1 09:42:11 isamaa mysqld[4038]: 100901 9:42:11 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Normal shutdown [08:50] ziroday: I can try that. [08:50] Stale: Use Xubuntu or Lubuntu instead, running insecure, out of date, and unsupported software is not a solution (and is not needed with linux). [08:50] oly562, im sure i (or my app) never initiated a normal shutdown [08:50] ChrisMorgan, how would it boot when you delete ntfs if it was on the partition [08:51] ChrisMorgan: like this lrwxrwxrwx 1 sacarlson sacarlson 23 2010-08-31 12:44 .VirtualBox -> /media/_home/VirtualBox [08:51] Aemaeth: I haven't deleted the NTFS partition yet. [08:51] but you will [08:51] cd /net/servername/private/username i get the message "failed to mount /net/servername" [08:51] reeniginEesreveR: something did [08:52] On Jordan_U's assurance, I shall now delete the NTFS partition and reformat it and get all my disk space back. :-) [08:52] How do I fork something in bash? [08:52] might have the partition problem i had since the ntfs was at beginning of drive, ChrisMorgan [08:52] Is it a single ampersand (&) at the end? [08:52] reeniginEesreveR: do a top then u then mysql see who is running it [08:53] Aemaeth: he must have ubuntu root installed somewhere else other than /dev/sda1 the mbr is still not touched if you use sda1 as a data disk [08:53] oly562, here is the full log http://dpaste.de/i7bW/ [08:53] reeniginEesreveR: do a [08:53] top [08:53] reeniginEesreveR: then a u [08:53] resize2fs is taking forever [08:54] reeniginEesreveR: then mysql hit enter [08:54] hi [08:54] oly562, user is mysql [08:54] ON my disk: NTFS partition is /dev/sda1, two other partitions ("recovery" and "hp") were sda2 and sda3, extended partition is sda4 which contains sda5 and sda6, ext4 (linux) is sda5, swap is sda6. === Sary is now known as Sary|afk [08:55] reeniginEesreveR: so your saying you don't know what restarted your server? [08:55] oly562, yes, precisely [08:56] reeniginEesreveR: crontab -u mysql or some other system user see if there is something funky going on [08:56] Aemaeth: you're resizing your main Ubuntu partition? [08:56] oly562, i've tried all that to see if some cronjob is the culprit but thats not the case. Apparently this has hit me: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=51081 [08:56] ChrisMorgan, yea [08:56] unfortunately they dont consider it a bug [08:56] reeniginEesreveR: look at your /etc/passwd and see what users are running a crontab, also look for crontab users [08:57] ChrisMorgan, or at least it says it's working on that [08:57] ChrisMorgan: I believe that the Ubuntu uses two partitions for its OS operation. I do not know if that is true, but I thought you might find the information useful. [08:57] To shift it earlier? [08:57] reeniginEesreveR: a bug? if you know, why are you asking lol [08:57] Stale: ext4 plus swap [08:58] ChrisMorgan: that is good to know. [08:58] i've heard swap is not necessary always [08:58] Oh yeah, with my disk layout I also have almost 9GB free at the end... [08:58] reeniginEesreveR: maybe its some maintenance mode new in mysql since oracle owns it ;) [08:59] reeniginEesreveR: actually I have heard of this before [08:59] oly562, i've now used webmin to see all user's cronjob. Apart from my own cronjobs which have nothing to do with mysql, there is one suspicious cronjob running as root: [ -x /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime ] && [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) -print0 | xargs -r -0 rm [08:59] Because my ext4 and swap partitions are sitting inside an extended partition I'm not sure whether I'd be able to properly move it. [08:59] reeniginEesreveR: webmin? omg... [08:59] Hi [08:59] oly562, ... ? [08:59] reeniginEesreveR: good o'ld port 10000 lol [08:59] :-) [09:00] which apt-get line do I need to add to sources to be able install this package ? http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/php4/php4-cli_4.4.2-1build1_amd64.deb [09:00] ... [09:00] ?? [09:01] yay resize2fs started using more cpu [09:01] reeniginEesreveR: maybe when you were in webmin, and you were hitting the bong, by accident you restarted it ;) [09:02] oly562, the restart happened overnight when i (and nobody else) was logged into the system [09:02] ChrisMorgan: In theory, you can make another extended partition so you do not have to mess with the known variables (as for unknown variables, I am not sure about that). [09:03] ChrisMorgan: how big is your present root partition for ubuntu? [09:03] reeniginEesreveR: I read a bit of that bug paste, and it says, mysql can not report in the error log anymore lol [09:03] 38.35GB [09:03] reeniginEesreveR: is this a production server? [09:03] oly562, yes [09:03] reeniginEesreveR: big company? [09:03] nope ... small startup [09:03] reeniginEesreveR: and you're the only root user? [09:04] oly562, yes [09:04] 100GB of NTFS, 40GB of extended partition which contains ext4 and swap, 9GB free at the end. 160GB disk. [09:04] reeniginEesreveR: mysql 5.1.44 [09:04] ChrisMorgan, i'm in livecd which is how i'm editing my root partition if you were asking [09:05] ChrisMorgan: I presenlty use 35gb in my root and I still have my home inside it. so 38gb might last you another 3 to 4 years if you just keep ubuntu and it's libs in it [09:05] how many core does ubuntu run ? [09:05] oly562, mine is Server version: 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.5 (Ubuntu) [09:05] reeniginEesreveR: has this happened more than once? what's the pattern if so... [09:05] actually it crashed my application [09:06] maybe it happened a few days earlier as well so i just restarted my app not knowing what had happened [09:06] reeniginEesreveR: or vise versa [09:06] today i've tried to figure otu and found from my app logs that the problem was mysql [09:06] in my syslog, i haven't found anything else which suggests that the previous crash was also because of this [09:06] reeniginEesreveR: let me log in and take a look, I can't type all that I know lol. [09:07] "Enigineer" :( [09:07] sacarlson: I've currently got 6GB free, and that's with about 8GB of Windows VM plus CD images. === reeniginEesreveR is now known as reenignEesreveR [09:07] :D [09:07] rww, thanks :-) [09:07] I don't think space is a real problem with it. [09:07] ChrisMorgan: yes so you should move /home into your /dev/sda1 partition and that can grow in there [09:08] ChrisMorgan: and that can be moved with a symlink also [09:08] Suppose I could if I move that there. How would I go about doing that - I presume it would not allow me to just copy it all and then create a symlink for it... I presume it would mean the live CD? === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan [09:09] ChrisMorgan: you would have to first copy all the files in /home to a place that you setup in /dev/sda1 [09:09] anyone knows what's the equivalent in Java of .NET Monitor.TryEnter ? (sorry I couldn't log to #java, and I don't know a better place to ask the question) [09:10] abountu: i guess its ##java, maybe ask in #freenode what the problem is, this is ubuntu-support, not java-support [09:10] ChrisMorgan: well the copy can be done from standard boot but I guess the final symlink creation you would want to do with live cd [09:11] why can't I install php4-cli with apt-get but ... works with aptitude?? [09:11] Yep, that's what I presumed. And to make sure /everything/ is got it'd be better to copy it when it's not being used. [09:11] tgywa: what does apt-get say when you do apt-get install php4-cli? [09:11] ChrisMorgan: I normaly just move one user at a time and keep the /home intact so I don't need a live cd [09:11] it is from the dapper universe .... [09:11] *sudo [09:11] I only have one user account here. [09:12] if any whatsoever process wants to connect to ie "google.com", where can i redirect that to another address? [09:12] ChrisMorgan: as some users grow you may want to start to move them also [09:12] ChrisMorgan, E: Package php4-cli has no installation candidate === Sary|afk is now known as Sary [09:12] reenignEesreveR: your going to have to script a solution so that when your app crashes or when your mysql restarts, they both stop and restart accordingly [09:13] ChrisMorgan, This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [09:13] is only available from another source [09:13] tgywa: Dapper? That's over four years old... why don't you upgrade to a newer one? [09:13] ChrisMorgan: well with only one user I would create a new user so you can move yours [09:13] oly562, if it is a mysql bug then perhaps i can upgrade my mysql installation [09:13] reenignEesreveR: or set a crontab to do so anyway [09:13] reenignEesreveR: you can upgrade but then you have a whole new host of things to worry about [09:13] is there shockwave for linux. i realy want to get it working [09:13] e.g.? [09:14] we r using ubuntu 10.04 as I know php4 is only availabe in dapper. [09:14] Ah, I see. WHY do you want php4 then rather than php5? [09:14] reenignEesreveR: a script ya know, write one [09:14] is there shockwave for linux. i realy want to get it working [09:14] And installing a package from another version is unsupported and not advisable at all. [09:15] Professor_G: No. [09:15] it lets you grow partition to left, since it was originally in ntfs i had to turn swapoff before i could change the partition [09:15] ChrisMorgan, we have customer using both php4 and php5 [09:15] Jordan_U, is there anyway to make it work [09:15] oly562, script etc. are flaky solutions. I've been through this trying to stabilize apache ... i ended up restarting apache every five minutes :D [09:15] tgywa: and their code won't work in PHP 5? [09:15] tgywa: There is no supported way to get PHP 4 on Lucid. [09:15] Professor_G: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave [09:15] hey IRC [09:15] reenignEesreveR: something that checks the process id or user which will do a save or kill -9 in a one liner in crontab that runs every so often [09:15] * ChrisMorgan takes the plunge and deletes /dev/sda1 from /dev/sda [09:16] Hey Sleepyfox [09:16] reenignEesreveR: scripts work WELL if you write them properly [09:16] reenignEesreveR: perl perhaps [09:16] rww, actually ... php4 is working on Lucid. [09:16] That's... fast. Under two seconds. [09:16] flash player plug-in keeps crashing on all browsers on ubuntu 10.04 [09:16] reenignEesreveR: some type of parania [09:16] ChrisMorgan, that's what she said [09:16] rww, but installed with aptitiude ... not worked with apt-get [09:16] oly562, right. I'll code it up and test it properly. Thanks a lot for all the help :-) [09:17] reenignEesreveR: I mean if mysql can not be trusted, that might be the only fix other than upgrade [09:17] tgywa: Whether you got it working or not is immaterial to whether it's supported or not. It isn't. [09:17] !wfm [09:17] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [09:17] reenignEesreveR: or downgrade for that matter [09:17] and yay, i fixed my problem, IN YO FACE those who doubted [09:17] ok i gotta an odd problem i have a too much work for irq 18 under ubuntu 9.10 and under and the whole graphic desktop crashing with 10.04 idk :( [09:18] rww ? [09:18] flash player plug-in keeps crashing on all browsers on ubuntu 10.04 [09:18] why does your graphic desktop crash? [09:18] oly562: Yes? [09:18] just wondering who you wfm'd that too [09:18] Sleepyfox, xubuntu? [09:19] Sleepyfox, did u do a fresh install of ubuntu 10,04 [09:19] or upgrade [09:19] please can you tell me, how to reset keyboard layout, alt-gr doesnt work and i cant write special symbols [09:19] nope regular ubuntu . and i am using the integraded intel video card and yes fressh insstall [09:19] gabor, what is gr in alt-gr? [09:19] do you guys have any experience about the stability of twinview un ubuntu? [09:19] http://freeverse.com/mac/product/?id=7013 [09:19] is there any replacement for this in ubuntu [09:19] ?? [09:20] Amaeth, its the right alt, in my county ist called alt-gr [09:20] Sleepyfox ubuntu isnt that good with intel [09:20] Aemaeth, sorry for the typo [09:20] what intergrated intel chip is it [09:20] i tried kubuntu and i got the same prob [09:21] jason235: what about flash? [09:21] jason i have not idea [09:21] http://freeverse.com/mac/product/?id=7013: is there any software in ubuntu that can do this ?? [09:21] Aemaeth, i want to find the interface that comes up when i install ubuntu. the one that asks to press buttons to recognize kb layout [09:21] jason, is flash really causing problems in ubuntu? [09:21] gabor, well, idk what that is, but special characters use ctrl-shift-u (release) number space [09:22] oly562 i be playing a flash game online and the flash plug-in crashes [09:22] i got ubuntu 32 bits and regular flash is ok [09:22] Vladio: there was an issue with 64amd which is not remedied, or at least a work around that works well for the meantime [09:22] i have 32bit [09:22] gabor, not sure, but system preferences keyboard? [09:22] Sleepyfox: exactly [09:22] Aemaeth, i mean the (at) symbol, you know, right alt [09:22] I found a fix for that exact issue last week or so [09:22] oly562: Do you know about how it performs on a nvidia system with 2 monitors? [09:22] you really have to dig google for it, let me get that link. sb [09:23] @ [09:23] ok ty [09:23] Aemaeth, yes, it only works in the terminal [09:23] Vladio: I use nvidia card and as for 2 monitors, I do not think that would be the issue, but rather config of Xorg [09:23] brb [09:23] Aemaeth, i always need to copy the at symbol and paste it to email addresses from terminal [09:23] what is the most appropriate forum to search to learn about the initramfs images, ubuntu 10.04 desktop in particular? [09:23] bad file error [09:24] i use shift 2 [09:24] can someone help me in testing ftp? [09:24] htmp, how coudl I help? [09:24] the problem is it only works in the terminal, but for example in evolution i can't write (at) symbol [09:25] gabor its System -> Preferences -> Keyboard In the new open window, select the "Layouts" tab. [09:25] hfmp: you want me to login? [09:25] ya can [09:25] Click "Add" and select your keyboard layout [09:26] Hmm... do you think it might work if I copied everything from / to my new big partition, then rewrote the MBR and changed the mounting so that it was /? [09:26] In the Keyboard Preferences window click on Layout options [09:26] jason235, already tried that, it doesnt support my notebook keyboard though, i could find a setting that allows me to use hungarian layout, but the right alt doesnt work === jason is now known as Guest56973 [09:26] ChrisMorgan, what was your problem again? [09:26] and u can set keys in that part [09:27] sacarlson can u ? get through? [09:27] Just a matter of shifting the Ubuntu installation to the start of the disk, and outside the extended volume it's currently in so that it can properly expand. [09:27] hfmp: same as this address you chat on? [09:27] so should i try xubuntu instead of the regular one cus the intel cards are not good with it ? [09:28] right alt plus V is the (at) symbol on hungarian keyboard, but i cant use any third level character on my keyboard [09:28] ChrisMorgan, what program you using to manage the partitions? [09:28] Currently just GParted. [09:28] can anybody tell me whats the RAM limit on a 2.6.32-24-generic-pae kernel? [09:28] ChrisMorgan, and you have the free space? [09:28] hmm i dont know then gabor [09:29] Aemaeth: sure [09:29] anyone know fix for the flash-plug-in [09:29] can you send me screenshot of your gparted screen? [09:29] jason235, only flash fix i know is to uninstall all but official flash [09:30] regex to match only a-z, A-Z, and - in-between brackets [] ? [09:30] I can't find it . but here, google this libflashplayer64.so [09:30] i did that Aemaeth [09:30] i don't see it...? [09:30] earlier in chat you mean?

[09:34] is 10.10 useable now [09:34] rww: did you just correct me on spelling windoze? lolol [09:35] !info audacity | isaac_ [09:35] jason235: no [09:35] isaac_: audacity (source: audacity): A fast, cross-platform audio editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.12-2 (lucid), package size 2588 kB, installed size 6952 kB [09:35] oly562: Yes. [09:35] isaac_, record from where? [09:35] dork [09:35] recording music [09:35] i have audacity. a little too simple [09:35] oly562: calm down and behave please [09:35] from a mike? [09:35] topyli: why? [09:35] from live stream? [09:36] will gnash work for online flash games oly562 [09:36] oly562: you'll have a better time on ubuntu channels if you're civil. you also get to actually stay on the channels [09:36] jason235: I have tried gnash for like 2 seconds, I like flash [09:36] so gnash will not work at all [09:36] jason235: In my experience, you could probably shorten that to "will gnash work", the answer to which is "no" [09:36] topyli: go monitor someone else, the word windoze is industry standard [09:36] lol @ rww [09:37] oly562: no [09:37] hey guys! let me say first off, i'm extremely happy with my Xubuntu distro! [09:37] poop doop [09:37] and let me also say, that i'm reaching out to you guys here from a SECOND install on a second partition [09:37] Aemaeth: http://chrismorgan.info/temp/partitions.png [09:37] mostholy, good for you [09:37] because i seem to have beefed the first one a bit while installing some new packages today [09:37] classy, your own site [09:37] if u was to use xfce i use Dream Linux mostholy [09:38] Far easier that way... take screenshot, scp, all fast. [09:38] it looks like, as far as i can tell, that it's caught up trying to use the xdm display manager [09:38] oly562, i beg to differ, the industry standard is not "windoze" but "winblows" :p [09:38] ha [09:38] because i installed kdm as well today [09:38] zackly [09:38] Aemaeth: I just moved the swap from inside the extended partition to the end, and just created /dev/sda1 which is empty [09:39] it's also upset because of the firestarter and clamav [09:39] jb__: Call it "Windows". It makes you sound less immature, and doesn't harm Linux advocacy. [09:39] this is just what i can get from the boot log [09:39] before it hangs [09:39] ChrisMorgan, yea, you need a live cd to edit your /dev/sda5 since that's your /, and when you boot into the livecd/usb get into gparted, and make sure you turn off the swap by right clicking on /dev/sda4 and you'll be able to make one large extended partition [09:39] what? [09:39] hahahah [09:39] rww, heh, I never mention that piece of "software" anyway :p [09:39] so i reinstalled on another partition and gave myself access to my profile/account whatev on the first partition [09:39] I can't believe im in a linux room hearing that [09:39] well i try to edit the plug-in my self then [09:39] try make it work better i guess [09:40] i dont complain about win i ahve both win 7 and ubuntu 10.04 both are ok [09:40] can anybody tell me whats the RAM limit on a 2.6.32-24-generic-pae kernel? [09:40] want to get some downloads off of there before i kill the partition [09:40] complain? is this a PC room? [09:40] ChrisMorgan, i just learned that, it was "Swapoff" on /dev/sda4 that kept me from editing the partition, so i bet it is same for you, you will have to delete /sda1/ and remake it in the extended if you want the unified partition which i think you said [09:40] i expected to see my dev/sda1 partition mounted on the desktop when i booted up [09:40] but its not there [09:40] rww, besides, I don't advocate linux anymore. people are free to use shitware if they wish.. heh [09:40] tracy69: Win sucks. Period. [09:40] can anyone lend a hand? [09:40] naah [09:40] No, I did the swapoff stuff for the swap, that's how I moved the swap partition. It's just the ext4 which is left. [09:40] luka: 64GB [09:41] i cant watch tv in ubuntu and i can in windows [09:41] reminder: this is an ubuntu support channel. windows chat in ##windows. offtopic chat in ubuntu-offtopic. thanks [09:41] Aemaeth: do you think it would be just copy everything from /dev/sda5 into /dev/sda1 and edit /etc/fstab to change the one mounted at / and redo the MBR? [09:41] i just like my linux puter therE.. I feel at ease using linux as a desktop and respect the fact other people may feel at easy using other systems [09:41] I went to a site the other day on linux and I went to a friends computer and visited the same site on a doze computer, he got a boot virus [09:41] ChrisMorgan, you also have to expand /dev/sda4 to include the space that /sda1/ is currently taking [09:41] oly562, is adobe air any good in ubuntu [09:41] or no [09:42] rww:thanks [09:42] use version 2 jason235 [09:42] jason235: I have had no issues with any plug in for firefox [09:42] ChrisMorgan, if you don't have a live cd, otherwise i think you'll be happy with a quick reboot and some time in gparted [09:42] it works better and consumes less memory apparently [09:42] Aemaeth: I'm not trying to keep sda4, it's just an extended volume. I more or less just want to get sda5 /out/ of it [09:42] i just got overzealous installing packages earlier this evening and may have screwed up the bleachbit settings [09:42] jason235: it all boils down to, following the directions when installing plugins [09:42] but adobe air is still very bloated I think [09:42] oly562 may I private chat with you? I am planning to install ubuntu, I have some final questions. [09:42] i rebooted and it was like vista nightmares all over again [09:42] Vladio: sure, im not picky [09:42] !pm [09:42] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [09:42] oly562, i been useing ubuntu since 5.04 version [09:43] ChrisMorgan, ah, well, my way would just put sda1 inside sda4 or allow you to make sda4 as large as you want [09:43] i know how to install plug-ins [09:43] can anyone give me a hand? [09:43] or even a hint? [09:43] jason235: I been using linux since 1999 [09:43] yeah [09:43] i was told one of the main advantages of linux is that the community is way more freindly [09:43] i been using since 1993 [09:43] yes it is [09:43] I wish I started sooner [09:43] i even have a 5.04 cd still [09:43] If you only have two partitions, they "should" (?? :P) be primary partitions rather than logical partition. [09:43] s. [09:43] i just need to know how to access my other partition [09:43] I also started using freebsd round the same time [09:44] mount it n access [09:44] i have never had this trouble before ever [09:44] well i have to be able to see it to mount it [09:44] i still keep my commodore oly562 [09:44] i could do that from the live cd but couldnt access the files in my home folder [09:44] u need to be root n access [09:44] i gave this account privilege to access the other partition but can't find it anywhere [09:45] i am root [09:45] or i'm using the terminal as sudo root anyway [09:45] ChrisMorgan, is it even possible to take it out of the extended? [09:45] but i don't know enough to get in from the command line [09:45] mostholy, what u trying to do [09:45] ChrisMorgan, nvm i guess you could, but that' a lot of work [09:45] sigh [09:46] mostholy, partitions are named /dev/hdxx [09:46] or /dev/sdxx for usb etc.. [09:46] yeah it should be /dev/sda something [09:46] you could read the contents of /etc/fstab too [09:46] ChrisMorgan: our installer creates all partitions as logical ones by default i think [09:46] what's the command to list them? [09:46] What's the keyboard shortcut for moving across workspaces? [09:46] mostholy: that would be a disk, not a partition [09:46] jb__, my hdd ubuntu partition is named sdb and windows hdd sda [09:46] ls -lh /dev/hd* [09:47] k well i only have one hdd [09:47] err [09:47] sd [09:47] i'm just going by what it says [09:47] Ctrl+Alt+(right/left) arrow :) [09:47] topyli: not just for dual boot systems where there are already three primary partitions, as it was in my case? [09:48] was that ctrl+alt command for me? [09:48] ChrisMorgan: nope, even if your disk is empty [09:48] can someone please just tell me the command from the terminal to list all my partitions? [09:48] mostholy, I think you should just inspect the contents of /etc/fstab, it's probably there [09:48] That's interesting. [09:48] hang on mostholy [09:48] ok, i'll try that. thanks JB [09:48] still here [09:48] mostholy: fdisk -l [09:49] nah [09:49] dont make him run fdisk for that.. you never know lol [09:49] 10 has always been good with me about recognizing devices... [09:50] jb__: well, fstab doesn't necessarily have all partitions [09:50] what are you talkin about jb? [09:50] Hello! I installed xfce window manager. How do I move ( drag ), maximize, minimize windows in it? [09:50] never know what? [09:50] topyli, i only suggested he tried that first [09:50] yeah, so all my partitions are /dev/sdax [09:50] 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 [09:50] * ChrisMorgan wonders whether sda5 could be changed to be named sda1 ... and whether it would be worth it :P [09:51] in fstab it should tell you their mount points too [09:51] he guys - browsing the internet, i found this script thats supposedly the counterpart of apt-add-repository http://www.sourceslist.eu/guide/installare-software-tramite-repository/?download=remove-apt-repository [09:51] i'm pretty sure my previous install is on sda5 [09:51] ah [09:51] ChrisMorgan: Not easily, and it's not worth it. [09:51] you can also just mount them and chck what they are [09:51] if you dont remember [09:51] fstab: command not found [09:52] Yep, I can't think of any reason why I'd want it other than keeping my system neat :D [09:52] ChrisMorgan, join my club, it's fun here [09:52] The Game [09:52] POOP [09:52] :( [09:52] Niggers [09:52] Niggers [09:52] CYANRYAN: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:52] mostholy, cat /etc/fstab [09:52] thanks jb [09:52] i'm pretty new to this command line stuff [09:52] mostholy, just run command mount [09:52] i'm writing an application to attach documents to an intranet, bit of a pedantic question, but is there a best/usual directory to map a share to? or can I put it wherever I want? [09:53] and it list all mount points [09:53] So... if I start in the live CD, I should be able to resize my extended partition and the logical ext4 partition inside it. [09:53] jason235, it only lists the mounted ones [09:53] I think that's what I want then. Easier than shifting it to a new partition. [09:53] back [09:54] jb_ read here [09:54] http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg19t18.htm [09:54] GParted doesn't come on the CD though, does it - that mean I'd need to install it for the session, I presume? [09:54] ChrisMorgan, it is on cd i believe [09:54] ChrisMorgan: It's installed in the live session [09:54] ChrisMorgan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition [09:54] and just remember to turn swapoff on the extended partition [09:54] OK, don't recall seeing it before - or at least an icon for it. [09:55] ChrisMorgan, come in here while you're doing it, so we can be partition buddies? [09:55] im tired, Njoy, l8 [09:55] an icon xD [09:55] Wonder where I put my live CD. [09:55] bash: cd: /etc/mtab: not a directory [09:55] /etc/fstab: not a directory [09:55] i had a copy in my data partition [09:55] ChrisMorgan: When you install Ubuntu, it doesn't install gparted, but it's installed in the live session. You find it under System -> Administration [09:55] mostholy: it's a file, not a directory. [09:55] mostholy: use less not ls [09:56] Aemaeth: I rather suspect I'll just get it up and running as fast as I can... but first I need to make a meal for myself and my brothers. [09:56] mostholy, u said it was on 5 right [09:56] topyli: say again? === ChrisMorgan is now known as ChrisMorgan|away [09:56] i either 5 or 6 [09:56] mostholy: they're files. view with less. 'less /etc/fstab' [09:56] then do this mount /dev/sda5 [09:56] the others are swaps and the one im on now [09:56] but the one i'm on now is the only one it sees [09:56] yeah did that [09:57] there is only 1 issue i have with the script ... being that: remove-apt-repository PPA:hostname/foldername is not supported... how to build that into this script for consistancy ? [09:57] mostholy, what are you trying to do exactly? [09:57] it cant find anything but dev/sda1 [09:57] i'm just trying to rescue some stuff from my home folder, then i'll happily kill a half hour reinstalling [09:57] well mount that [09:57] if i can't remove the programs i think caused the trouble [09:57] Why do I get this error after an upgrade to 10.04 "The disk drive for /var/www/00 is not working or not yet present" ?? [09:58] k guys, i know its late at night, but... i cannot mount any of them! [09:58] hello folks. [09:58] terminal doesn't see them! [09:58] wy would /var/www/00 be drive? [09:58] reinstall grub mostholy [09:58] what errors does mount give you? [09:58] jason235, what is this advice? [09:58] tgywa, i thought /var/www/ was for apache2 [09:58] mount: can't find /dev/sdaX in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [09:58] gives that error for every one except sda1, which it says is already mounted [09:59] we r using NFS mount share in /var/www/00 [09:59] they cant get it to boot [09:59] mostholy, try this: mkdir /mnt/sdaX; mount /dev/sdaX /mnt/sdaX [09:59] sounds like there grub is messed up jb__ [09:59] replacing X with 5 or 6 etc.. [09:59] ok [09:59] mostholy: it's barely lunchtime. /dev/sdaX doesn't exist, use a real partition [09:59] we are using NFS mount share in /var/www/00 [09:59] i blame bleachbit [09:59] he just misses a few entries in fstab thats all [09:59] never heard of bleachbit [09:59] should i try? [10:00] its like ccleaner for linux [10:00] on steroids [10:00] Aemaeth, yes we are using apache but we are running it over NFS. [10:00] i'm a noob but my advice is, take heed when it says "warning, this option is experimental and may damage your system" [10:00] i use truecrypt, even if they torture password from me, there are two passwords, first gives me time to eat cyanide capsule [10:00] topyli, the partition exists, its just not listed in fstab [10:00] mostholy: anyway, if it's not in fstab, you have to specify a mountpoint. like 'mount /dev/sdaX /mnt' (this is just to test it, fix fstab later) [10:00] i know sdaX doesn't exist [10:01] i just didnt feel like typing the name of all the partitions i tried for you [10:01] X = a number [10:01] right [10:01] x can also be a variable [10:02] erf.. did it work mostholy ? [10:02] Aemaeth, we have two different NFS partitions 01 and 02 which is mounted correctly at boot up. Only 00 was not mounted and it comlained at startup. [10:02] bah [10:03] negative [10:03] why? [10:03] just only [10:03] it wanted a file system type, i specified ext4 [10:03] mostholy: what errors do you get? [10:03] mostholy u said it was on 5 right [10:03] it told me to look up man 8 [10:03] do this [10:03] could be 5 or 2 [10:03] is ubuntu netbook edition and unity the same thing? I am a bit confused.. [10:03] sudo grub-install /dev/sdaX [10:03] mostholy: what's the command you tried exactly? [10:03] what's the command you typed? [10:04] if im mapping another linux server to my ubuntu server, in etc/fstab, is it best to put the share in /mnt? [10:04] jason235, why do you want him to install grub? [10:04] jason235: grub has nothing to do with it, please don't give bad advice [10:04] ok [10:04] w/e good luck [10:04] I am looking to make a multiboot cd/dvd I know it would be better to make a multipass usb but that isnt what I would like to do so with that said is there a easy way to go about doing this in ubuntu [10:04] aw, you made jason235 leave :( [10:04] one sec [10:05] he was giving bad advice :p [10:05] i do that all the time, and you haven't told me to stop [10:06] Aemaeth: that's an error on our part then [10:06] color of the wind [10:06] ok it looks like its either 2 or 6... or 7 [10:06] ugh [10:06] topyli, i'll take that as your apology, not accepted [10:06] mostholy, man, are you even listening? :( [10:06] Aemaeth: bad advice must always be corrected. no need to take offence when people do that [10:06] \j mp3 [10:07] help me websever [10:07] what was that grub install command again? i list it in the scroll [10:07] slowly i am hating linux [10:07] mostholy: forget grub [10:07] :'( [10:07] lost* [10:07] wry that Hounddog? [10:07] grub-install [10:07] i am not even able to install one bloody ubuntu server [10:07] Hounddog, server specs? [10:08] Aemaeth ubuntu server installed reboot stuck in "loading operating system" [10:08] Hounddog: that's not ubuntu's fault. what's wrong? [10:08] grub-install /dev/yourpartition [10:08] Aemaeth amd x2 2.9 gh2 4 gb ram motherboard gigabyte m63m-sp2 sata harddisk seagate [10:08] hi guys! I have a really urgent situation.. I was appliying the updates, kernel updates, etc, and my comp died suddenly, and now it comes to the login screen, and neither the mouse, nor the keyboard respond. TTYs are not working either.. any suggestions, please? [10:08] "ghz" [10:09] its not really helping, schneider [10:09] /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR. This is a BAD idea.. [10:09] /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and its use is discouraged.. [10:09] /usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: if you really want blocklists, use --force. [10:09] out of my realm then [10:09] the mount command on linux is 'mount' [10:09] mostholy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:09] i tried ubuntu server/debian i have 2 servers with same specifications and same problems... [10:09] not grub-install [10:09] it is not loading grub as seems [10:09] you putting grub to ? [10:09] i was just copying the error i got [10:09] *mbr [10:09] mbr [10:09] mostholy: please leave grub alone, you'll end up making your system unbootable [10:10] i installed a discclone of ubuntu desktop and that works [10:10] then i'll just blank it with DBAN and reinstall [10:10] i've got a stack of distro ISOs to try out [10:10] anyone? please? [10:10] this xubuntu install is only 2 days old [10:10] heh.. just forget linux if you can't mount a partition me thinks [10:10] well thanks JB [10:10] topyli, ah yea son, one time i was running a headless server and i acidentally typed in the login password when grub was up, i ended up just deleting all entries [10:10] how to fscheck with a live-cd? [10:10] jb__ you mean me? [10:11] maybe if you took into account that i've never done this before, and stop speaking to me as if i'm a command line expert [10:11] Could someone please explain to me if unr and unity is the same thing? I have unr in my netbook and saw a screenshot of unity and it has some search bar which mine haven't. I would like to know if I could add that bar as well [10:11] hi guys, do you know how to change how keyboard keys work. I need to change ins with right alt. I have ubuntu 10.04 [10:11] i've been fighting windows for 15 years, i know how to fix it. i'm just tired of fixing it [10:11] well, both topyli and I tried to help you, asking you what command you typed and what errors you got, you never answered, mostholy [10:11] Aemaeth i am somehow really lost... i don't understand what would be different between ubuntu and ubuntu desktop i mean with grub [10:11] i was reading the novel that the terminal spit out! [10:12] and then when i posted it i got fussed at for that too! [10:12] Antonis: you have seen screenshots of the development version which will be out in october [10:12] yea, cause you were trying commands that have nothing to do with your problem [10:12] i can list the results of fdisk -l if anyone wants to tell me which one to mount [10:12] just putting the iso on the usb and will install again... [10:12] i was trying commands that were suggested by you guys! [10:12] topyli, so the new version that will come with maverick will have square icons at the left instead of the categories I got now? [10:12] i don't know any commands! [10:13] Antonis: yes [10:13] well, if you show us the mount error, maybe you can get help then [10:13] Hounddog, yea, that's really weird, if it's just grub you're having a problem with, in the old days i used to keep other OS's around incase i wanted to install a good version of grub, but often this involved telling it to install the distro and then pulling plug after it changed mbr [10:13] hehe [10:13] dear god.. I will never upgrade then :P [10:13] heh [10:13] yeah i did that, scroll up to where it says "mostholy, dont flood" [10:13] thanks topyli :) [10:13] Antonis: fortunately lucid is an LTS release, so you don't have to :) [10:14] Aemaeth just one thing... if i install the ubuntu desktop by pxe with the hd clone... it will start so i am thinking maybee install ubuntu server after that but do not write it into the mbr... [10:14] is that something that might work? [10:14] errr.. "mount", mostholy [10:14] if that' even an option [10:14] well, hopefully they will not "force" me to upgrade the interface in lucid.. [10:14] yeah i did that! [10:14] then what error you got? [10:15] are you messing with me man? [10:15] Antonis: oh no, what you have is what you have and that's it [10:15] i posted the error [10:15] Aemaeth i am really out of ideas i even tried suer grub etc [10:15] no [10:15] "super grub" [10:15] and people told me not to post so much! [10:15] good to know :) [10:15] you flooded the channel with grub error messages [10:15] Hounddog, isn't ubuntu server just xfrc environment and some sever software? [10:15] nvm, i'm just going to blank the drive and reinstall one of the mint distros i have [10:15] the people i talked to there weren't so condescending [10:16] Aemaeth: servers don't come with desktops [10:16] Aemaeth ubuntu desktop is gnome and server is more like debian [10:16] but still i don't see a difference... grub is grub [10:16] Hi. How to find files created in last 30min using cli? [10:16] thanks guys, you could have helped, but you've done so much more [10:16] i'll be sure to mention it in the forums [10:16] dude [10:16] i don't know why server grub shall be different from desktop grub... it just mounts the drive and loads the kernel [10:17] someone asked for the error! for the command i was asked to use! === Weust`afk is now known as Weust` [10:17] and now all i hear is i never posted the error, and used the wrong commands [10:17] op mostholy: what's the command you tried exactly? [10:17] what's the command you typed? [10:17] i used the command i was asked to, even copy'pasted it [10:17] you never replied [10:17] try it, i have confidence in you [10:17] how do you want to get help? [10:17] sudo grub install /dev/sda6 [10:18] Aemaeth i am setting it up since about 20 hours now -.- i lost my confidence [10:18] scuse me grub-install [10:18] ok, you need to use mount [10:18] then you said something about it asked you a filesystem type [10:18] yeah, when mount didn't work i was told to use grub [10:18] yep it did [10:18] Hounddog, if you go back to windows, can we at least agree we're both better than mac users? [10:18] then have you tried that? [10:18] i specified ext4, which is what they all are, other than the swaps [10:18] what command you tried? w/ error messages [10:18] mostholy: i don't know why you were fiddling with grub in the first place, after being repeatedly asked not to. what i meant was the mount command. that's what your problem is about, isn't it? [10:18] i tried that, and it spat a ton of man 8 stuff at me [10:19] SOMEONE TOLD ME TO DO THAT [10:19] Aemaeth unfortunatly i can't use windows for this... my wife is setting up her business and the required software is only existing on linux [10:19] i c [10:19] need help my ubuntu 10.04 doesnt detect or even connect to my wireless network!!!! [10:19] excuse me if i was trying out what was suggested in another window while someone was here yelling for me not to do it [10:19] okay well.. you need to tell us exactly what you did, and the errors you got, if you want help [10:19] mostholy: ok, let's calm down and concentrate on mounting your partition [10:20] come on guys, i've got at least 2, maybe 3 people here telling me what to do, and you're all contradicting each other [10:20] and blaming me [10:20] mostholy, anything said on the internet should be taken as fiction [10:20] if ONE of you wants to help me, cool [10:20] if not, i'll just pick another distro [10:20] need help urgently!!! [10:20] Aemaeth, that may be the one fact on the internet right there [10:20] mostholy: so how about that help? let's focus on the partition you want to mount, yes? [10:21] plz don't blame distro, it's not like there is official help here...unless there is, but i nver see anyone claim that, if it exists [10:21] do you want to see the fdisk -l results? [10:21] Shaun_: are you sure that settings on your modem accepts wifi? [10:21] yes [10:21] yea, all people here are only helping cuz they feel like doing so hehee [10:21] should i PM them to you so as not to flood the room? === Sary is now known as Sary|afk [10:21] im running win 7 and it works fine [10:21] JB it seems like you feel like giving me a hard time [10:21] no [10:21] i did some research on the NSIDWrapper and installed it but im a newb and am lost [10:22] mostholy: if we don't know which partition we want, then yes. use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste the output [10:22] Shaun_: on your computer: do you have swithc or something like that for wifi? [10:22] we all learn and teach here, like in karate kid [10:22] hehe [10:22] i hv a laptop [10:22] that's the linux spirit :p [10:22] btw, this mount stuff is the same on any distro [10:22] topyli, is that something i type here? or go to that url and paste it [10:23] Brace yourself guys-- but i'm new to IRC as well [10:23] * dreamtraveler hi [10:23] no i dont have a switch [10:23] at least its not visible [10:23] Shaun_: ok.

[10:24] if there are only 2, you can try both? [10:24] i know, i've been banned for that :( [10:24] well actually it doesnt say [10:24] it cant even detect wireless [10:24] JB, i said before there were 5 [10:24] dev/sda1 through 7 [10:24] ok [10:24] no 4 or 3 though [10:24] Shaun_: so you have wireless logo on panel? [10:24] some of them might be swap, or might be mounted already [10:24] let's just see what is there [10:24] why doesn't ext4 have to defrag? [10:24] so you can eliminate them [10:24] sda1 is Boot [10:24] 5 and 7 are swaps [10:24] yes i do [10:24] okay [10:25] 2 and 6 are Linux [10:25] Aemaeth: because fragmentation is not a problem on ext filesystems [10:25] !defrag | Aemaeth [10:25] if you were trying to mount swap, then no wonder you got errors hehe [10:25] Aemaeth: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [10:25] as is 1 [10:25] ok [10:25] i wasn't trying to mount swap, i'm not a newborn baby [10:25] what does 'mount' say? [10:25] i can rea [10:25] Shaun_: if you click it with your mouse what does menu tells? :D [10:25] just the one word? just type "mount" [10:25] yes [10:25] topyli, bot is no fun, i like to hear 5 different opinions, but thanks [10:26] Aemaeth: sorry :) [10:26] it has the connect to wireless option but i cant click on it and it doesnt show any network [10:26] hoping to start war [10:26] /dev/sda6 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount -ro) [10:26] maybe i should be saing reiserfs is better [10:26] Aemaeth: that's what #ubuntu-offtopic is for [10:26] then a ton of other stuff [10:26] join me there? [10:26] okay, thn you can eliminate 6 [10:26] about ten lines beginning with "none on" [10:27] ok.. how many partitions left? [10:27] Shaun_: duhh? if you move laptop closer to a modem does it find some networks? [10:27] it's gotta be sda2 [10:27] Aemaeth: (it's still an ubuntu channel though, not an everything-goes cesspool) [10:27] okay [10:27] because i booted in on sda1 [10:27] nope not at all [10:27] so if you please, what is the exact command to mount sda2 [10:27] then try this: mkdir /mnt/sda2; mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2 [10:27] i was directed by some other experts to use the NDISWrapper but i hav no idea how to use it [10:28] Shaun_: that's weird [10:28] slm [10:28] i also have added my chipset and card to the windows wireless driver in ubuntu but it stil doesnt connect [10:28] ok mkdir was accepted, moving on to second command [10:29] says i must specify a file system type [10:29] where exactly do i specify ext4? === TomLyra is now known as schlaftier === Sary|afk is now known as Sary [10:30] any help? [10:30] how should the command read exactly [10:30] mount -t ext4 /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2 [10:30] although, its strange yu have to specify it, but you can try [10:30] Shaun: what does it print if you type "ifconfig" ? [10:31] are the sun-java*-* packages still around in lucid? I'm not seeing them, and I have restricted enabled... are they in partner?...

[10:31] collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 [10:31] i was pretty sure i had the sun packages [10:32] wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2 [10:32] missing codepage or helper program [10:32] yea, it means /dev/sda2 is most likely not ext4 [10:32] i think [10:32] hrm [10:33] says sda2 is Extended, not Linux [10:33] guess i misread [10:33] Aemaeth: can you see what section it's in? I don't see it and I don't really want to enable partner if I don't have to [10:33] mostholy, can you do: fdisk -l /dev/sda [10:33] to check what partition types are === chrowe_ is now known as chrowe [10:34] hi guys. while applying the kernel updates, my laptop accidentially powered off. and now on power on, it gets stuck on the logon screen and no keyboard or mouse work. even TTYs do not work. and suggestions, please? [10:34] sda1 is linux [10:34] ok.. maybe its sda1 then [10:34] sda2 extended, 5 linux swap/solaris [10:35] 6 is linux and 7 is another swap [10:35] then it's 1 [10:35] i figured sda1 is what i was on now? [10:35] Ademan, i'm in a live cd doing some work on my partitions, but someone else has got to have it, c'mon someone open synaptic for the guy [10:35] no, that's 6 [10:35] ok, so try the commands you gave me for sda1 [10:35] run the mkdir again? [10:35] yea [10:35] its not really important [10:36] !compiz [10:36] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [10:36] How to know on which USB port my GSM modem is connected?

[10:36] mkdir /mnt/sda1; mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 [10:36] hariom: plug it in, then do 'dmesg | tail' to see [10:36] it appears to have accepted [10:37] hrm, just 'dmesg' will do [10:37] mostholy, then, ls /mnt/sda1 [10:37] it should be your stuff [10:37] which line from the output determining the monitor mode? [10:37] topyli: thanks. Got it on ttyUSB0 [10:38] tmp is highlighted in green [10:38] does that mean anything? [10:38] nawir, you can do sudo iwconfig (device) mode monitor and if it doesn't say fail i think you win [10:38] well.. it prolly means it has special permissions [10:38] well, normal users have write permission to it or something [10:38] k so where should the other partition be listed? [10:39] which other partition? [10:39] i expected it to appear on the desktop or at least in the file system when i mounted it [10:39] the one i just mounted [10:39] should i just reboot? [10:39] well it's now mounted on /mnt/sda1 ? [10:39] I have installed 64-bit Ubuntu inside an encrypted partition, and also have my /home partition there. Is it at all possible to reinstall 32 bit Ubuntu instead, without redoing everything and wiping /home? [10:39] what you just did wont survive a reboot [10:40] well, it didn't say "you have successfuly mounted blahblah" so i don't now [10:40] if it says nothing, then it worked [10:40] mostholy: just do 'ls /md sda1' and see if it looks familiar. if it does, you're half done [10:40] Can anyone explain how to do this - http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/UzLjUbQG ? [10:40] er it failed;device or resource busy [10:40] mostholy: em, 'ls /mnt/sda1' [10:41] nawir, is it the card you're using right now? [10:41] how would i know if it looks familiar? [10:41] bit etc lib opt selinux blah blah blah [10:41] it looks like it always does after a fresh install [10:41] can i use cd to get into my home folder from here? [10:41] welll, yea, that's a linux install [10:41] yes [10:41] mostholy: looks like a linux system. is that what you want to mount? [10:41] or better yet, can i just browse there in Thunar? [10:41] yeah i'm using it [10:41] omg [10:42] cd /mnt/sda1/home/yourusername/ [10:42] i'm out of here [10:42] it can capture wireless from my place [10:42] :o [10:42] it means it's working isn't it? [10:42] bleh [10:42] what a waste of time and energy [10:42] nawir, yeah if you're getting all the traffic you need [10:43] poor dude wont get far in life hehe [10:43] giving up so close [10:43] jb__: now mostholy will join again after reboot, complaining because the mount is gone :( [10:43] so what might be wrong Aemaeth? [10:43] nawir, i thought you said it was able to capture [10:44] looks like you have your share of newbies [10:44] I dont remember it was like this when I started hehe [10:44] yes [10:44] i will however, say thanks [10:45] nawir, at any rate, look at the aircrack tools, they have a script that puts the card into monitor [10:45] capture means it detect what wireless network available around me [10:45] k, you're welcome hehe.. I hope I could help at least [10:45] apt-cache search aircrack-ng will probably bring it up [10:45] since i keep getting the old one-two from you guys and it's contradicting info and questions that i already answered, and still no help for my data, you guys have helped me make the decision to scratch xubuntu off my list of distros to try [10:45] How do I create a local webserver? [10:45] and if i remember roit it's "airmon-ng start (device)" [10:45] i'll mention it in the forums [10:46] mostholy, your data is there, you just mounted it [10:46] did you check in /mnt/sda1/home ? [10:46] BlackDalek, install apache2 [10:46] EXTERMINATE! [10:46] well its not in the home folder === Skynet is now known as Guest69993 [10:46] is it empty? [10:47] is there any way to get nautilus to sort in correct alphabetical order? e.g. [ before a [10:47] all the folders are empty, yes [10:47] then it means you had a separate home partition [10:47] i just installed this partition [10:47] i cant tell you where its gone [10:47] oh really! yeah i said that! [10:47] man! === Guest69993 is now known as Frank79 [10:47] i had two separate installs of xubuntu on here [10:47] in about ten minutes it will be 0 [10:47] Aemaeth, thank you. Can you assist me with anything else here - http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/UzLjUbQG ? [10:47] and i'll move on to fedora or pclinuxos [10:47] if you installed over your existing home partition, then your data is gone [10:48] i didn't [10:48] i installed them side by side [10:48] i've seen fedora, wasn't impressed [10:48] a child could install ubuntu of any flavor [10:48] ok [10:48] if you used separate partitions, then they're still there somewhere [10:49] well its not worth all the runaround for an ISO of fedora design suite and some wallpapers [10:49] i'm just wasting my time here [10:49] BlackDalek, you familiar with hosts file? [10:49] though, xubuntu doesnt install /home as separate partition by default [10:49] i dont think so [10:49] i have xubuntu here as well [10:49] its just / [10:49] the output is like this Interface Chipset Driver [10:49] wlan0 Broadcom b43 - [phy0] [10:49] (monitor mode enabled on mon0) [10:50] whatever man [10:50] i'm over it [10:50] Aemaeth, I know there is one in /etc/hosts but I do not fully understand the syntax for editing it [10:50] does it means the monitor mode is running? [10:50] nawir, now, when you want to monitor, use mon0 instead of phy0 [10:50] hi folks [10:50] but hey guys? next time a fella says this is all new to him, try to take that into account before you start talking down to him [10:51] noone talked down on you [10:51] BlackDalek, i'm fuzzy there too, but edit it a bit and just keep track of your changes, google [10:51] most users i've spoken to were only to happy to help me get away from windows for good [10:51] BlackDalek, the rest is just going to /var/www/ and making the directories they're listing, and put the file there [10:51] now i probably broke my install somehow due to user error, and i can accept that and move forward [10:52] hm.. make backups next time [10:52] BlackDalek, what's really fun, is you can run traffic through your system then and they will be redirected to you [10:52] but i think i could have googled for help and felt more like it was paying attention [10:52] its a good idea before you install a new OS or something [10:52] the install is only 4 hours old, JB [10:52] you're acting very childish now [10:53] one wouldn't expect to need to make a backup the FIRST time he restarts, now should he? [10:53] only you know where you put your data.. people here will be glad to help if you ask nicely and stuff [10:53] how do i use mon0? [10:53] its not like we ought you a service [10:53] yeah i asked nicely and answered the same questions over and over === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [10:54] was asked to put in a command, and then did so [10:54] and then was told "you're trying commands that you shouldn't be" [10:54] nawir, depends on what you're doing, but if you're using a command line program you type mon0 for device [10:54] well, we mounted your partition where you thought your data was [10:54] instead of wlan0? [10:54] bah i could have installed a whole new OS in the time i've spent in here [10:54] if its not there, you cant really blame it on someone else [10:54] i'm not blaming anyone for lost data [10:54] nawir, what you pasted said you put a phy0 card to mon0, but sure if you say wlan0 yeah, same difference, whatever chipset [10:55] i see [10:55] just lost time and a fresh new headache [10:55] you should think positively [10:55] now you know how to mount a partition [10:55] create a new directory [10:55] super [10:55] list it [10:55] print the contents of a file [10:55] i actually doubt it's working if you can chat and monitor at same time...but then again i'm no expert [10:55] etc.. [10:55] yeah i had all that info in a pdf on the partition i lost [10:55] could have googled it [10:55] came here instead [10:56] you'll find some otehr tutorial on google [10:56] my bad [10:56] dont worry [10:56] pff [10:56] its a perfect example of reversing a situation [10:56] did you enjoy terrorizing that person? [10:57] you try to help, and get blamed that you made him waste time etc.. [10:57] im the one who wasted previous time with someone that didnt deserve any help in the first place [10:58] hehe :p [10:58] and, get threatened that he will used another distro instead.. like I care?? loool [10:59] its not like he will have a better time using something else === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon [10:59] ubuntu is very user friendly [10:59] for people starting out with linux [10:59] you can hardly get better [10:59] see if the gentoo irc room is that nice, they probably rootkit you [11:00] if you managed to install gentoo, you at least got some decent knowledge [11:00] like ability to read a documentation etc.. [11:00] which acts as a filter [11:00] Aemaeth, thanks for your help. I think I did everything in the instructions right, but it still did not work... :( [11:00] did you test hosts file by going to the site? should loop to your machine === jason is now known as Guest76219 [11:01] this dude would give up on installing gentoo before he even got a partition formatted [11:01] hell..

[11:04] BlackDalek, it mentions a game, what is this game? [11:04] rww: oh :) [11:04] egadw: Not anymore.

I could do this also via aptitude, but sometimes using Software Center is nicer. [11:06] Oer: GTK is only an example. I want Software Center to work reliably, so that I can use it as a nicer alternative to aptitude for simple tasks. [11:06] hi, device notifier opens my data dvd with k3b instead of mounting it. how can i fix this? [11:06] does anyone know how i can several localhosts on my ubuntu machine ? [11:07] on the ubuntu download page i can see "64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage" [11:07] why is it not recommanded ? [11:07] is it only a problem with flashplayer ? [11:07] lestat: Flashplayer works also in the 64 bit version. [11:07] jeltsch: ok so why the warning ? [11:07] lestat: Maybe Canonical just wants to prevent 32 bit users from accidently installing the 64 bit version. [11:08] lestat, you can install a 32bit flashplayer [11:08] i have a intel core i5 750 which supports 64 bits [11:08] lestat: because Ubuntu's website people are incorrect. [11:08] so there is no problem using the 64 bits verison ? [11:08] lestat, It's because some programs doesn't have a 64bit variant [11:08] lestat: It works fine. [11:08] ok thank you :) [11:09] how to play .amr in ubuntu [11:09] lestat: Just install ubuntu-restricted-extras in the 64 bit version, and you’ll get a working Flash Player. This might be 32 bit, but in this case you get all the necessary compatibility stuff. [11:09] ok perfect :) [11:09] lestat, and arguably 32bit works fine for linux, 64bit is for gamers and the people editing HDvideo and some other niche instances [11:10] jeltsch, I have experienced problems with the 32 bit flash player in chrome on a 64 bit 9.10 ubuntu before though, it's not flawless [11:11] egadw: i want to do gpu computing so i guess 64 bits is not negligible [11:11] Is there a way to "unlock" the panel in ubuntu lucid unr to be able to add/remove apps etc?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [11:52] ive got a mount on /mnt/attachments i run an intranet through /var/www/intranet/file.php and can access that by ip/intranet/file.php is there a way I can map a location I can access via web to the /mnt/attachments directory? [11:52] is there any msn hotmail program on linux is supporting voice and vedio ? [11:53] mr-ali: pidgin [11:53] mr-ali try amsn ot empathy [11:53] amsn worked for me for video [11:54] alright thank you [11:54] << working on downloading copule programs thanks all [11:54] I've got far more stability with Ubuntu than I ever had before. But now, I'm greedy. I notice funny stuff starts to happen after a few weeks' uptime. Desktop icons are lost, workspaces get scrambled; there seems to be some slowdown. What can I do? [11:55] AdvoWork: are you using Apache ? [11:55] @glebihan yes [11:57] why when you recives file on emesene the download be so slow ? === Greyscale is now known as Greysc[a]le [11:58] i love linux forever [11:59] nawir [11:59] glebihan, yeah I'm using apache [11:59] what about a symbolic link? [11:59] @AdvoWork: ok I'll paste an example of how to do [12:00] glebihan, cheers [12:00] mr-ali, this has something to do with linux clients using a fallback protocol to downlod the file thru the msn server or something [12:00] (i think) [12:00] thanks [12:01] yay - VCoolio, thanks! [12:01] hosanna [12:01] the run dialog (alt-f2) has been taking longer and longer to appear (now roughly about 5 seconds)... has anyone encountered this problem? [12:01] this is my first time i'm using this program so i'm trying it by asking questions [12:01] is there a way to use add-apt-repository with a repo like this: deb http://repo.fooname.org/apt lucid/ [12:02] @AdvoWork: http://paste.ubuntu.com/487183/ [12:02] i [12:02] add this to /etc/http.conf [12:02] i'm using xampp server i think its the best [12:02] Antonis: according to -h, you can do something along the lines of add-apt-repository http://repo.fooname.org/apt lucid [12:02] @AdvoWork: I mean /etc/apache2/httpd.conf [12:02] Antonis: not sure about the exact syntax though [12:03] umm how does this work: transmission -p [12:03] works fiune [12:03] glebihan, my httpd.conf is empty [12:03] then kill the window [12:03] still running [12:03] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/sJBdQV4z [12:03] doesn't matter [12:03] put this in it [12:04] and restart apache [12:04] anybody knows opencv?? [12:04] me [12:05] glebihan, ive got similar stuff in my apache2.conf (ie for my rewrites [12:05] yeastwars, I read the man and --help documentation but as it looks like it doesn't support repos other than on launchpad [12:05] so I guess I have to do it manually [12:06] AdvoWork, this should not go into apache2.conf, which is used for general configuration [12:06] however it will work [12:06] ok, so glebihan Alias /var/www/intranet/documents/ /mnt/documents_tab_attachments/ ? [12:06] Is there any drivers for windows that lets me read ext4 filesystems? I need to dualboot :( and though of usign ext4 on my storage drive. [12:06] AdvoWork: no [12:07] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/sJBdQV4z [12:07] glebihan, why whats wrong with that? [12:07] AdvoWork: "Alias /path /mnt/attachments" will make "http://ip/path" point to /mnt/attachments [12:08] oh man i had to get out of that windows channel.. [12:08] AdvoWork: the first path relative to the sever root [12:08] glebihan, ahh so if i want to be able to goto ip/intranet/documents it would be Alias /documents? [12:09] Is there any soft for Driver Finding ? ?? [12:09] !find libfaac [12:09] Found: libfaac-dev, libfaac0 [12:09] hi any one know how to make sorround sound work in ubuntu 10.04 ? [12:10] AdvoWork: no because this is already in the server directories as a child of intranet [12:10] when I add compression options to reiser4fs with mkfs.reiser4 command do I need to use them again in mount -o options ? or is it automatic ? please [12:10] Is there any soft for Driver Finding ? ?? [12:10] can ubuntu format a hard drive to vista ntfs specs? [12:10] akaruz, system administration hardware drivers [12:10] AdvoWork: you can already access it via http://ip/intranet/documents [12:10] bazhang, thanks [12:11] glebihan, that works thanks :) [12:11] yw [12:11] hi, I'm getting Unknown encoder 'libfaac', but when I do apt-get install libfaac0 I get libfaac0 is already at the latest version [12:11] itsux2bu, not sure about gparted on ubuntu disk, but gparted live cd certainly can [12:11] NevroPus: ext2fs [12:11] how can I get libfaac? [12:12] Jonathan_L: and that works with ext4? [12:12] It does with ext3 [12:13] @suigeneris: what software gives you the error ? [12:13] Permissions is not obeyed, so beware of malware ;) [12:13] bazhang, is there a OS running under gparted live cd? [12:13] glebihan ffmpeg [12:13] bazhang, so thats gparted on a boot disk? [12:14] itsux2bu, it boots to a live environment, just as a partitioner though (60mb iso) [12:14] hi all. I have ubuntu 10.4 installed and recently noticed a loud buzzing noise when using microphone. I haven't had the chance until now. tried tweaking sound volume and stuff, but the buzzing won't go away. My soundcard is recognized as ATI technologies Inc SBX00 Azalia [12:15] @suigeneris: it seems that libfaac has been removed from ffmpeg [12:15] suigeneris, what are you trying to do [12:15] @suigeneris: for licensing issues, apparently [12:16] bazhang, i just did a little testing yesterday.. vista took 5 hours to format a 500gig 7200 rpm hard drive to ntfs.. i did the same thing with acronis disk director in 2 hours.. acronis was a self booting cd.. no windows os under it.. [12:17] bazhang convert a video to mp4 format compatible with my nokia 5800 [12:17] suigeneris, I'd use handbrake for that, to be honest [12:17] !handbrake [12:17] handbrake is a an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. - http://handbrake.fr [12:18] suigeneris, there's a PPA for it as well [12:18] okay thanks bazhang [12:18] prodigel, have you checked in alsamixer in the terminal for that device? [12:18] hi. I have two users in an ubuntu system, and for some reason, one of them changes the resolution when logging in [12:19] Hi. Trying to finally migrate to Linux from Win XP, I started with a standard Ubuntu release. Which email client you advice to replace Outlook? I'll need to import all my mail folders and stuff [12:19] does anyone know how can I make it use the defautl one? [12:19] Aldus, thunderbird and evolution should both be able to handle that [12:19] Aldus: you can try thunderbird [12:19] cool. Thanks [12:19] evolution is probably the most outlook like and compatible [12:20] but, being similar to outlook also cumbersome and slow [12:20] toz, \0 [12:20] toz, \0 [12:20] Aldus, i believe thunderbird is from mozilla, where firefox browser comes from.. [12:21] if that matters [12:21] prodigel, if that does not do it, you could try installing padevchooser, pavucontrol and one other pulse controller that slips my mind at the moment; apt-cache search pulse should turn it up [12:21] toz, \0 [12:21] I have a massive amount of mail (about 10 years of mail) and I hate Outlook's freezing, slowing down and crashing all the time... My choice would go on the stable / fast one, I don't car much about extra features [12:21] itsux2bu: Yeah, it supports a few Firefox addons too [12:21] (calendar, etc.) [12:21] sometux, please stop that [12:21] Thunderbird has calendar addons [12:21] Aldus: mutt!? [12:21] i have problems getting access to hard drives when i use a USB to sata and ide cable, most of the time i only get that it detects a unknown hard disk and the usb to sata and ide cable but nothing more [12:21] bazhang, sorry [12:21] bazhang, I've tried playing with the mixer, it doesn't help. Playback is smooth, but recording has the buzzing thing. I have on capture: capture, digital, mux. Either way I tune them buzzing is still present [12:22] When I un-mute my F-mic (built in to laptop) I can hear myself talk through the speakers, but I cannot get Skype to recognize it. Any suggestions? [12:22] jrib: I have no idea about it :) [12:22] Aldus: terminal mail client [12:22] jrib: I guess that would create me trouble with html emails?! [12:22] can i make the program "x-chat" make voice when someone write massage [12:23] Aldus: pfft evil html emails [12:23] lol whats so evil about a w3c standard? [12:23] I have to deal with evil sometimes [12:23] Ichat: e-mail is text [12:23] Hello [12:23] no email is data ;) [12:24] anyway, offtopic sorry :) [12:24] Is there a way to launch an application in debug mode on ubuntu ? [12:24] would you rather have RTF for markup? [12:24] cresuso, debuig mode? [12:24] Ichat: no I'd rather have plain text [12:24] @cresuso: depends on the application, usually with "-d" option [12:24] cresuso, debug mode? [12:24] Hello [12:24] hi @ all. Is anybody here using AFS (Andrew File System) on Ubuntu??? [12:24] mr-ali, try in #xchat [12:25] itsux2bu: I mean, like on ollydbg under windows...so i can see all asm calls, etc.. [12:25] !anyone | the_german [12:25] the_german: 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? [12:25] Is it advisable to change the Software sources>Ubuntu Software>Download from to Main server? [12:25] hsr, change to what [12:26] hsr: If you change it to something closer to you, yes [12:26] Aldus: anyway, I don't much about what mutt does with html e-mail. It probably runs it through some sort of filter program or gives you the option to open it in a browser (or both). The other mail clients that seem to be pretty popular are evolution (default) and thunderbird [12:26] bazhang: Change from current location to Main Server [12:26] hsr, likely to be slower [12:26] jrib - plain text is useless for lots of information youd have to use pdf (requires aditional plugins ) or Word / openoffice docs to stil get that data send in a 'usefull' way. iow. its beter to have html than ritchtextformat (rtf) [12:26] Jonathan_L: Why? [12:26] bazhang: Why? [12:26] hsr,if it help you why not [12:26] itsux2bu: you got an idea? [12:27] hsr: Because it's faster if the server is closer, maybe= [12:27] *? [12:27] zvacet: No idea.

I do have some people that feel the need to e-mail me and simply attach a word file that's colored text -_- [12:29] @cresuso: no sorry [12:29] hrs,I thin they are all mirroring but if it is closer to you it should be faster [12:29] i have got an error during ./configure : [12:29] configure: error: Please reinstall the libcurl distribution - [12:29] easy.h should be in /include/curl/ [12:29] cresuso, you know most *nix come with gcc.. a c complier and there are addition support packages you can add to it.. i believe [12:29] Ok glebihan [12:29] i find gmail to be the best client [12:30] i agree cast [12:30] my /media/cdrom folder no longer exists and there are no entries in /dev either related to cdrom drives [12:31] I found the best method.. just choose Select Best Server...

It becomes bloated? [12:59] Aldus, ubuntu is a great distro to start with..

You didnt make any sense [13:00] babu__, you can burn the iso yourself [13:00] Aldus, look.. there are 1300+ people is this channel.. ubuntu is THE most downloaded version of *nix [13:00] omgz0r: Bad advice [13:00] MichealH: leave me please you cant help me you know it i know it everone know it [13:00] guys what mostly scares me is the system becoming more and more unstable and slow while using it, that happened with all Win releases so far I used in the last 15 years... I just want to make this very better as it's a haunt for my job [13:01] Aldus: if you don't need to add any new aplications you can keep the same forever but if you want to add new and improved stuf you at least need to stay with a supported version. [13:01] sorry ...i don't have high bandwith modem...i feel it's good to get by shipping....is there any way [13:01] omgz0r: Please rember we are volenteers here. [13:01] jrib: i bet there is oss theme for gnome (ubuntu one), and software center [13:01] is there source tarball anywhere ? [13:01] lol - upstart is going to also replace cron according to its 'planed features' [13:01] Aldus: That's unlikely to happen, but of course, depends on what you do with your computer and os. [13:01] MichealH, indeed .. charges are 0 [13:02] itsux2bu: I know, that's why it's my distro of choice for starting, I just was curious about those points that someone digged out in the linux channel [13:02] Aldus, i been running ubuntu in a virtual machine program called virtualbox.. the other day .. my vista system locked up bad.. but virtualbox and ubuntu keep going non-stop..

[13:02] MichealH: well maybe i should tell u im not on ubuntu [13:02] omgz0r: What are you on? [13:03] Aldus, battery live has too many variables to track.. i don't own a laptop.. battery life depends on what is running [13:03] MichealH: trustedbsd [13:03] omgz0r: http://packages.ubuntu.com will have the source packages as well [13:03] @alket: no, only for windows [13:03] * MichealH seconds jrib [13:03] Aldus, i doubt you'll have to reinstall many times [13:03] glebihan, did you try it ?

[13:03] @alket:no I went to the sourceforge page and it says Windows only [13:03] Aldus: i didnt reinstall for 10 years [13:04] for a good download manager you might want to look at adons.mozilla.org [13:04] hello everyone [13:04] will i get kubuntu by free shipping [13:04] glebihan, thank you [13:04] omgz0r: well, that comforts me :) [13:04] @alket:yw [13:04] Aldus: bleeding edge distros [13:04] I just ended the backup... I have the cd burned.... in some minute... IT WILL HAPPEN! I'll be an Ubuntu-man [13:04] and Windows XP will die forever [13:04] hopefully [13:04] babu__: https://shipit.kubuntu.org/ will ship you a kubuntu cd for free, but it may take up to 10 weeks, according to the website [13:05] omgz0r: And your saying ubuntu is or trustedbsd? [13:05] Aldus, there are at least 2 ways to try out ubuntu temporilly.. before converting completely [13:05] on Ubuntu, you don't need to reinstall .. just upgrade [13:05] XP got its life extended again by MS from that i read the other day [13:05] if u people like ..then join irc://irc.spotchat.org:6667/#i-am-newbie [13:05] MichealH: nope [13:05] !ot | Aldus [13:05] Aldus: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[13:07] Dr_Willis: not something that we should be happy about, because A we (the it industry) get to sell less new computers, B we the Software developers get to support xp and legacy hardware longer ... and (C) we the internet users get to recieve spam a bit longer since XP is less secure than vista and/or windows 7 [13:07] given some files, is there a way to find out which package installed them? [13:07] Stuk: dpkg -S (or dlocate -S if you want it to be faster) [13:08] thanks, I'll try that :) [13:08] anyone [13:08] 2.6.36 time for grsec ?

[13:10] when I install dark themes all of my IDE's turns black(naturally) and I can't see my code, is there a way to select which program uses which theme? [13:10] !chroot > mintypu [13:10] mintypu, please see my private message [13:11] cravon why? -i find it more simple than even vim. [13:11] MichealH: there should be no need to change root all that is needed in most cases is to rename the file xorg.conf and reboot [13:12] when i download a ubuntu iso, how can i have the md5 sum for the file ? [13:12] !md5sums | lestat [13:12] lestat: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [13:12] xorg? reboot? [13:12] Well, he needs to access drive and or the Install teminal from live cd, sacarlson [13:12] nkuttler: what's the question? [13:13] @lestat: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ you'll find it there [13:13] MichealH: - TRUE but only if he needs to 'remove package nvidia or ati from the system.. [13:13] Ichat: Well, Yeah [13:13] He could just mount the drive [13:13] MichealH: try this if you need more detail http://paste.ubuntu.com/487206/ [13:14] jrib: glebihan thank you :) [13:15] sacarlson: Im not the one who needs help [13:16] MichealH: no but I wanted you to check it and give it to who you were helping [13:16] sacarlson: Yeah [13:16] I did [13:17] hi everyone, there is a patch for network-manager in upstream repo, but how can i add upstream repo and get the patch, do you have any idea ? [13:17] CorpusCallosum: You wanna upload a DEB to ubuntu? [13:17] sacarlson: - lol and you share this NOW, - lol - i did it the chroot method onces because it thought that nvidia resrictied didn't use org.conf anymore so it would be useless to try :p [13:18] Hey guys, I have just bought an external wireless card, I have an onboard one.. when I do iwconfig both show up.. great, how do I know which one is onboard and which one is the external one, is there a command or option I can use to show the make/model or something ? [13:18] !lol | Ichat [13:18] Ichat: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [13:18] i want to fix my network-manager disabled problem and there is a patch for that on upstream repo MichealH [13:18] but i am not sure that how i can patch [13:19] CorpusCallosum: Gimme a sec! [13:19] ichat: so this method won't work? [13:19] what should I install to be able to _compile_ vdpau program (mythtv) with vdpau support. I have nvidia drivers installed and they work with vdpau... but how to compile [13:19] upstream repos? You mean the backports repo? [13:19] hello guys, this my situation. I've 2 HDDs, on sda I've windows and on sdb a fresh installed kubuntu 9.10. After installation I get a grub2-rescue prompt saying out of disk error. After boot from LiveCD and did fdisk -l, mount sdb1 and finally grub-install --recov.... /mnt/ /dev/sdb. I than get the following error: can't read /grub/core.img. [13:19] CorpusCallosum: Try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=369707 [13:20] sacarlson: - no im saying ... if hes says it works .. it does -i just didn't know about it [13:20] @zoidberg: lspci [13:20] Ichat: I have no way of knowing if it works I just wrote it. [13:21] well try it - its way better to do that ... and than worry about chrooting, nothing harmfull can come from renaming or even deleting that file === imlad|afk is now known as imlad [13:21] !away > imlad [13:21] imlad, please see my private message [13:22] please, I'm so confused with grub2. [13:22] nordin: what could grub2 be doing to you? [13:23] When i start rhythmbox im thrown back to the loginscreen, I have a debug output from rhythmbox but no idea what to look for: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/FbpBcDnF [13:23] sacarlson, I have a problem here. I had Debian LEnny installed, everything went well, since I install Ubuntu I can't dual boot. [13:24] sacarlson, btw, you could help me instead of such a louzy comment. [13:24] nordin: can't dual boot but you can boot ubuntu? did you hold the shift key down at boot to get to grub menu to boot what you want? [13:25] !rude > nordin [13:25] no, but I'll try [13:25] glebihan: that does not tie the card with the interface its on though ? [13:26] ok I have just installed soulseek (apt-get install museekd) what now? I cant see anything added to the menu.. how do I check what has been installed? its a client so I should be able to run it from somewhere... [13:26] hmm note to self - i should propose such a commant in the bot one of these days... [13:26] nordin: well people give so little info on the line there is not much we can tell them. people need to learn to ask full question not leave us guessing. [13:26] !attitude > Ichat [13:26] Ichat, please see my private message [13:27] guys, fglrx + xorg-server 1.9 = no no no? [13:27] jrib: - ah that was the one i was looking for - ty [13:28] Noz3001: fglrx + xserver 1.9 = NO!! [13:28] lol [13:28] ok, that shift button just brings me to cmdline mode, actually similar to grub-rescue prompt [13:28] but I have no way to select what to boot [13:28] nordin: don't you see choice of kernel to boot? [13:28] amd are so incompetent >_> [13:28] sacarlson, NO. [13:28] for windows they make good drivers but they suck at linux support! [13:28] glebihan: also its a usb device so lspci does not pick it up [13:29] nordin: there is only a single entry in the list and that is ubuntu? [13:29] hai, I've run 10.04 for a while now on my hp550 laptop. H_owever yesterday I updated a bunch of stuff and since then neither mouse nor keyboard work [13:29] you could still use the opensource radeon driver with no problems until amd releases fglrx with 1.9 support [13:29] sacarlson, no, on sda I have windows installed and sdb ubuntu. [13:29] nordin: and those are or are not on the list? [13:30] @zoidberg_: with lspci -v you'll be able to get the MAC address of the card [13:30] hi, how to move window titlebar widgets to the normal side of the window? Now i have all of them on the left anyone? [13:30] @zoidberg_: the usb device won't be listed, but the other one will [13:30] not really - amd drivers tend to get beter, there once was a time where nvidia was 2ce as bad as amd looks now, but in general it gets beter everystep, it just takes time if you dont own all teh copyright of your drivers... [13:30] sacarlson, I have no list at all, only (hd0,0)...hd(1,1) [13:30] @zoidberg_: so you should be able to identify them [13:30] but I don't see any OS names [13:31] nordin: and what does it default to boot to? what operating system if you let it boot normaly? [13:31] sacarlson, I won't boot, it just shows the grub-rescue prompt [13:31] anyone familiar with keyboard and trackpad suddenly ceasing to work under 10.04 [13:31] I == it [13:32] nordin: and how did you install ubuntu and what version was it you installed. [13:32] sacarlson, I installed kubuntu 9.10 on sdb (the second HDD which I had Debian Lenny installed on). [13:33] nordin: did you modify bios at any point in time to boot from something other than (hd0.0) or /dev/sda ? [13:33] sacarlson, the installation went well, just grub doesn't boot anymore properly. [13:33] anyone knows how to move window buttons to the right? === txwikinger2 is now known as txwikinger [13:33] in 10.4 [13:33] can i set for sudo specific password ? [13:33] sacarlson, no. [13:34] like no asking for user PW but a specific one ? [13:34] nordin: ok go ahead and boot a live cd of your ubuntu 9.10 [13:34] Promethes, System->Preferences->Appearance then change theme [13:34] @omgz0r: no, the idea is that it is the user password [13:35] omgz0r: that's the whole point of sudo, to ask for your user pw to authenticate you; ubuntu doesn't have a root user [13:35] sacarlson, this is the situation, when I had Debian Lenny it worked well, I could boot to windows or Debian. After that I installed ubuntu on sdb, since than I can't boot at all. So no list of OSs just grub cmdline. [13:35] ok... [13:35] VCoolio: but i bet my gf will choose UBERLOLZOR password >< [13:35] nordin: you can't install a live cd in your drive and boot from that? [13:35] sacarlson, I know it had to do with the new grub version grub2. [13:35] !ot | omgz0r [13:35] omgz0r: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [13:36] zzzed: i use Ambiance theme and i want only move these buttons to the right, not changing theme, just move buttons [13:36] sacarlson, yes ofcourse, I already did that. === kroson_ is now known as kroson [13:36] nordin: no from the sound of it you installed the mbr on the wrong disk [13:36] @omgz0r: you can create the root user by setting a password for it (sudo passwd root) and then remove your user from sudoers (/etc/suoders) [13:36] ye.. [13:36] but [13:36] :X [13:37] nordin: ok we are now booted in try mode on the live cd? [13:37] Promethes, my Ambience theme has the buttons on the right [13:37] sacarlson, ok, it takes some time to boot from cd, one moment please.

[13:39] ok [13:41] glebihan: the other one is but for instance this is what it says: 06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) - which doesn't tell me the interface so i can't figure out which is which ? [13:42] @zoidberg_:you should have a line looking something like "Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number **-**-**-**-**-**-**" [13:43] the minimal ubuntu cd uses an ncurses based installation interface, whats the name of it? [13:43] @zoidberg_:with the MAC address of the device [13:43] lelle, the alternate CD [13:43] @zoidberg_: did you use the "-v" option ? [13:43] zoidberg_: as soon as you'v installed the driver, - the one first picked up is called WL0 the 2nd wl1 etc ... and like zzed says its got a mac- hware addr [13:43] nope, let me try that. [13:44] zzzed: not the cd but the program that enables you to install ubuntu on to the computer.. [13:45] lelle, the alternate installer? [13:45] lelle, debian-installer ? [13:45] glebihan: Ichat: http://codepad.org/aBZbMukq using verbose option still doesn't give me the hw addy? [13:45] zzzed yes but it has an interface, you press choose language, manual or guided install, what packages you want etc..

You may contact the web admins. [13:47] AltraMayor: because this is an issue on their side. [13:47] zoidberg_: its a long shot but try to get info in the wl0 device, - the mac add should be a manufacturer specify - iow it will tell you if its a broadcom chip [13:47] AltraMayor: you dont need to donate if you dont want to, they get money from support and merchandise [13:47] lelle, not sure what you want. the actual executable file name? if so, I don't know [13:48] zzzed hmm ok ill try ubuntu-offtopic [13:48] glebihan: ohh sweet didn't realise sudo gave mnore output! thanks!

A question concerning wireless connexion. [14:05] Dr_Willis: alright...so: I do have a firefox session running on my local machine - now I ssh into that (with Xforwarding) from another machine. I want to start another firefox session from that remote-machine [14:06] minh: why not just use the local firefox and have your ssh connection setup a socks proxy? [14:06] thanks [14:07] jrib: sound really interesting...how can you do that? [14:07] minh: ssh foo@example.com -D 1080 [14:07] minh: when you ssh, run "ssh -D 1080 hostname", then in your local firefox preferences setup the socks proxy as localhost:1080 [14:08] @Hermanon: wget -r cannot work for that [14:08] Here the facts: I'm using a wireless connexion, but, to connect its, I have to fill out a form, with userlogin, password, and a checkbox to approve the charter and using conditions (this is under a web browser like firefox) [14:08] @Hermanon: what you want to do can usually not be done via http [14:08] kbrosnan, jrib: oh...I forgot that I really need the local firefox...(bookmarks etc) [14:09] minh: you mean the remote firefox I guess? [14:09] glebihan: how? [14:09] jrib: oh, yeah, sorry [14:09] :) problem: I must use firefox to connect... :-/ how may I connect without using firefox? [14:09] minh: well does "xclock" work when you use ssh -X? [14:09] @Hermanon: if you tell me URL of the website, I'll have a look === Xavier|sleep is now known as Xavierdarkness [14:09] !away > Xavierdarkness [14:09] Xavierdarkness, please see my private message [14:10] jrib: yes, it does. [14:10] minh: what exactly do you run when you try to start firefox? [14:10] heizmann: you'll need some sort of web browser, might be able to get away with a command line one like w3m [14:10] glebihan: I can't :( , but the scheme is : folder/5443.7zr [14:10] jrib: it also works if there is NO firefox running on the local machine [14:10] is there a reason why the power button on works for the root user and how do i change this? [14:11] @Hermanon: so I can't tell you if it's possible, but http does not allow indexing the content of a folder [14:11] HI. Did you try using dhcp-relay? [14:11] @Hermanon: so probably not possible [14:11] :-/ with w3m, a problem: connection is no persistent... [14:11] jrib: k, I'll change it. It's my bouncer, though. [14:12] jrib: On the remote-machine I run: 'firefox &' or 'firefox -no-remote &' - neither of those work :-( [14:12] ...after around 30sec, it misses... [14:12] jrib: but when I close all firefox sessions on the local machine...it suddenly works just fine [14:13] I can view directory on firefox and there's no index.html there but files === XLV_ is now known as XLV [14:13] @Hermanon: yes but this index is generated by the web server, its' actually html data [14:13] minh: and firefox -no-remote -P ? [14:15] mm [14:15] jrib: that won't get the bookmarks from the default profile so, minh would need to kill the remote firefox session [14:15] jrib: it DOES start the profile-picker...but when I select 'default profile' (which is the one I use) it states: 'firefox cannot use the profile...already in use...' [14:15] is it possible when you boot up from the livecd to copy all the livecd in ram, so that you can remove the cdrom and for example burn a cdrom from here ? [14:15] kbrosnan: good point [14:15] @Hermanon: you could try with gftp, using a http connection [14:15] minh: you can't have the same profile in use by two sessions [14:16] :) I exmplain again my problem. I'm behind a proxy. To get connected to the Internet, I must complete a "web" with my login, my password, and then click a checkbox to say "I accept the terms of use. How do I connect without going through an Internet browser? [14:16] glebihan: I'll try thanks :) [14:16] minh: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_Run_more_than_one_instance_in_Linux helpful? I can find no documentation for "-a"... [14:16] kbrosnan: are you sure? :-( [14:16] minh: positive [14:16] minh: heh just noticed that page is dated 2006 [14:16] lestat, not that I am aware of ...the entire live cd is not copied over to ram when running it I dont think [14:17] hi all [14:17] ok [14:17] lestat: you'd need *a lot* of ram and special knowledge of vdisks.. how about loading the iso on a usb memory stick? [14:17] lestat: i think the ubuntu capser supports "toram" boot option, but i don't know if it works. [14:17] lestat, the other option is the minimal install cd ...however.. what is it you want to do ? [14:17] jrib: will your proxy idea work for hermanon: on port 80 if that's the only port they give him at his work after he logs in? [14:18] jrib, kbrosnan: hm...what to do now? don't you guys have the same problem? [14:18] sacarlson: it should as long as there's nothing else on the port [14:18] im having some problems on ubuntu 10.04 with flash, it is very slow... my system was ubuntu and then i installed ubuntu-studio packages and now it is slow. my video card is a nvidia geforce 7000m with the last drivers suggested by ubuntu [14:18] minh: http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?locale=it&comments_parentId=419932&forumId=1 [14:19] minh: just close the remote instance I guess [14:19] coz_: i need to burn a cd, but the only burner i have is on a computer with no OS yet [14:19] minh: i use Firefox Sync for bookmarks, and ssh -D for securer browsing [14:19] jrib: I guess he would need to have his ssh server running on port 80 then also [14:19] Izinucs: i have 4 Gb [14:19] lestat, oh [14:19] thune3: nice i'll dig that option [14:20] jrib: yeah..that's exaclty my problem described in this thread [14:20] lestat, mm well you could try it with live cd although I have never done this ...download the iso you want ...depending on the amount of memory you have,, and maybe try to burn it [14:20] lestat, this iso is not another ubuntu disk ...yes? [14:20] kbrosnan: alright...firefox sync is a firefox-plugin, right? [14:21] coz_: no it's not, my problem is i have only one cd player [14:21] minh: you can't do what you want without killing the remote firefox session. yes it is on addons.mozilla.org [14:21] lestat, ok... do you know how large the iso you want to download is? [14:21] kbrosnan: I'll look into that...thank you very much! [14:21] ok it's been fun but I got to go drink some beer so if someone calls me you guys take over. Good luck all [14:21] coz_: around 700MB [14:21] i have 4GB of ram [14:22] lestat, ok and ubuntu live cd may take up half of that [14:22] so it should be feasible [14:22] lestat, it may work... but the only way to find out is to try it :) [14:22] i [14:22] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM [14:22] ah nice [14:22] lestat, remember that the burn itselft is going to create a temp file also [14:23] lestat, I would attempt it and see :) [14:23] kbrosnan: on another note...let's say the remote-machine has no internet-access...it's only connected via crossover-cable to the local machine, which DOES have internet access [14:23] kbrosnan: can you once more tell me how to do that ssh-socket thing? [14:23] lestat, is this system capable of booting from usb?? [14:23] mmm [14:23] good question [14:23] hy [14:23] prolly [14:24] lestat: 4 probably wouldn't be enough.. boot from a live usb [14:24] ok will try [14:24] lestat, that would be noted in the bios hopefully,,,if so you could ...while running live cd ...download a very tiny linux like damnsmall linux if they have it for usb and go from there [14:24] coz_: yup at worst i'll do that [14:24] thank you all for your answers [14:25] lestat, again ,,, I have not attempted this but would be interesting with a smaller footprint linux from usb to see if it works === carlos is now known as Guest90391 [14:25] minh: ssh foo@example.com -D 1080 and either in the WM settings set a system wide proxy for localhost port 1080 or in Firefox edit > preferences > advanced > network > socks proxy: localhost port 1080 [14:25] ok be back later [14:26] or i'll configure a pxe boot with root fs in initrd [14:27] minh: in gnome system > prefrences > network proxy: socks host localhost port: 1080 [14:27] minh: assuming Ubunut uses the default gnome layout for that setting [14:28] kbrosnan: so...on the remote-machine(which has now no internet-access): ssh localmachine -D 1080, right? [14:29] minh: no that is executed from the machine that is behind the cross over cable. or on another network for example [14:29] Good morning.

Since it's still "1.8", I suspect I could symlink the short name to the long one. Assuming that's the case, how do I get the system to recognize "libruby.so.1.8" as being there?

[14:44] after installing ubuntu with wubi, ethernet lan in windows 7 does not work anymore. it says that no wire is connected, after searching the internet i think i am the only one with this problem [14:44] I believe he's in the grub prompt, but exit doesn't seem to be working... beats me [14:44] whenever i boot it gets to a grub prompt [14:45] wansen: I think it is probably an unrelated problem. You should check to see if driver software is still installed and working ok. [14:45] ramesh_: Is it a fresh install? [14:45] actually i just formatted windows so i have to reinstall the boot loader, while reinstalling i got this problem === aldo is now known as Aldus [14:46] ramesh_: You re-installed Windows? [14:46] hmm it worked before the installation, and in ubuntu it also worked, now i removed the whole wubi installation and it still does not work under win7 [14:46] i am currently running from the livecd [14:46] no [14:46] ][; [14:47] jrib, is weird see, got all the libs :S [14:47] yes i re installed windows [14:47] @ramesh_: do you know your kernel version ?

[14:48] Hi. I just installed Ubuntu and I'm customizing it a bit. Seems like the "loading" cursor pointer (the ball with the loading animation inside) appears everywhere on my opened windows, which is annoying. Even now in xchat... Why this happens? [14:48] wansen: I'm pretty sure that the problem not related to your wubi install. You should check to see if driver software is still installed and working ok. [14:49] jrib, looks like a bug men, means is my job as final user discover and report :) [14:49] minh: any http application can be tunneled over a socks proxy [14:49] i run the command root (hdx,y) setup (hd), all these were successful but the quit command is not working [14:49] bet0x: I doubt it, but deal with qt I guess [14:49] wansen: You can identify the NIC and download latest drivers for your MS install and save them to a thumb drive, (while you are booted into linux). [14:49] kbrosnan: so, once again: on the remote-machine I did: ssh -D 1080 localmachine [14:50] @nastas yes i reinstalled windows over ubuntu [14:50] yesterday i was here and you recommended me installing gparted to manage and edit my partitions, well i did that and stuipdly i clicked something, what happened was that no partitions were then visible, it just said 1000GB of free space (i was really worried), then when i shut my computer down and try to turn it on again later it wouldn't load ubuntu, it would get to a certain part of the bootup process then just stay there, i tried [14:50] kbrosnan: then configured the firefox proxy-settings [14:50] @ramesh_: there's no quit command in grub, you should try "boot" [14:50] encountered a fatal error but then returnded me to the new live cd desktop [14:50] what should i do? :( [14:50] ramesh_: did you set the correct root? [14:50] hmm ive already looked it up and everything is ok with the driver software. the point that makes me think it is related to the wubi installation is that before the installation the lan internet worked under win7 [14:51] actually when trying boot the error comes as "kernel must be loaded before booting" [14:51] wansen: /sbin/lspci | grep Ethernet [14:51] @nastas yes i set the correct root [14:51] @ramesh_: you should boot on the live cd and check your menu.lst [14:51] usr13: how i do that? :) [14:51] ah ok [14:52] ramesh_: silly question but can you post the commands that you type?

That is to say, that every time a file is accessed in the server's Videos folder, it is saved in the local machine's Videos folder with the same path, until a size threshold is reached, at which point the files with the oldest last accessed times get deleted? [15:08] ramesh_: did you try to use an ubuntu livecd to recover grub? [15:08] thank u jrib...your suggestion works..... [15:08] veovis_muaddib: if the samba is mounter to ~/Videos then the file on the server and local system will be the same [15:08] kbrosnan: it works!!!! I just needed to add DNS!!!!

Pm please [15:11] ActionParsnip: rsync will allow for syncronization of only the files that get accessed regularly? My mother's hard drive is rather small, so I can't just sync the whole folder, but if she is at home, she needs the whole folder to be accessable [15:11] so yeah guys, before i was talking about how i clicked an option in gpart and it made my whole hdd a blank partition then i couldn't boot to ubuntu (stuck at dmi pool), any way when i booted from livecd and went to gpart this is what i saw, http://i55.tinypic.com/snnz34.png [15:11] And she will not look in two different directories [15:11] veovis_muaddib: it will only upload the newer changed files [15:11] hello how can I remove a file that has not been fully or correctly installed? [15:11] in order to sync only files that are accessed though, you'd want to script that [15:11] how can i fix this? :( [15:12] Craig' http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000474.htm [15:12] anyone? [15:12] Craig`: there is no way to rly fix it, you will need to reinstall i think...or i could be wrong [15:12] ActionParsnip: So I can syncronize a ~750 GB folder onto her 250 GB hard drive and only have it sync the files she has recently accessed?

(e.g. apt) === justme is now known as Guest53919 [15:13] why is it everytime I try to do an update, I loose my buttons/ lucid [15:13] veovis_muaddib: you won't be able to do a "recently accessed" operation on a per user basis [15:13] yowshi: Could you explain what kind of interference you are getting? What kind of connection are you using for the keyboard and mouse? [15:13] Craig`: sorry for you data loss it happens sometimes, many times to me when i was first experimenting with linux [15:13] how can I get them back again? [15:13] yeah guess so [15:14] oh well [15:14] red: does adding the -t switch solve your problem? [15:14] veovis_muaddib: usb for both and when i push buttons on the keyboard the mouse wont move [15:14] veovis_muaddib: no as you will attempt to put 750b on her storage which won't fit [15:14] phisher1: That sucks.

If its over WWW you can use sshfs [15:15] veovis_muaddib: why not just let the videos be accessed over samba all the time? [15:15] Sary: what do you mean by options, options in gpart? [15:15] why a local copy too ? [15:15] yowshi: Look in Mouse settings and see if you have a trackpad section [15:15] how do i make install without su? [15:15] red: not for ssh it isn't.

[15:16] yowshi: There is a setting to disable the trackpad when typing, but it should only effect a trackpad... [15:16] Craig`: just install like a regular OS, if you want windows i would install windows first and then ubuntu (or anyother linux you want) second [15:16] ActionParsnip, no does not help [15:16] veovis_muaddib: i dont have a trackpad section in mouse settings [15:16] diverse_izzue: what video chip? [15:17] yowshi: Yeah, I was finishing typing that when you mentioned that [15:17] ActionParsnip, 4500MHD [15:17] Is it a permanent problem, or is it only when you are typing, or is it for a time after you type, as in maybe two seconds? [15:18] diverse_izzue: isn't there some ati thing to detect displays? Or an ATi gui app for configuring displays? [15:18] Is it a permanent problem, or is it only when you are typing, or is it for a time after you type, as in maybe two seconds? @ yowshi [15:18] kbrosnan: I'm looking into tsocks right now [15:18] phisher1: I've been trying that method, she won't even look in a different folder, let alone copy something herself. [15:18] veovis_muaddib: only while typing or holding down keys and it doesnt persist after i stop typing [15:19] veovis_muaddib: is this an employee ? [15:19] phisher1: No, it's my mother :P [15:19] Ah ok [15:19] ActionParsnip, it's an intel chip, not ATI [15:19] right so i'm an idiot, there was a clearly big warning saying that all data will be erased when a new partition was created and i still clicked it.. any how i'm wanting to dual boot now with windows xp and ubuntu 10.04, which should i install first? [15:19] bet0x: md5sum the file [15:19] diverse_izzue: oic, you should have said [15:19] i did, first message [15:19] I bet if you spent 10 minutes explaining it to her, she'd get it. [15:19] Craig`: installing windows first is generally simplest. [15:19] oh righto [15:20] last time i had windows xp partion [15:20] then i installed ubuntu `alongside it' (that's what ubuntu said) [15:20] diverse_izzue: you may need an xorg.conf to define it then, intel aren't incredibly smart (or good) [15:20] but then when i tried to boot into windows it said a missing dll file [15:20] phisher1: I wish. She's had strokes and has trouble remembering things [15:20] veovis_muaddib: only while typing or holding down keys and it doesnt persist after i stop typing [15:20] jrib, 40121a5db9af9d51c5f80885a6a8697a [15:20] yowshi: Yeah, I'm googling [15:21] bet0x: you have a bad download, anyway go use APT now [15:21] ok [15:21] bet0x: http://paste.ubuntu.com/487267/ [15:21] !dualhead | diverse_izzue [15:21] diverse_izzue: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [15:21] Craig' [15:21] oh it's fine i've googled [15:21] how to fix [15:22] yowshi: If I recall, there was a way to do this in xorg.conf, but I don't keep up with that, I'm not sure if Ubuntu still uses xorg.conf.

[15:40] sorry wrong channel [15:41] usr13: yeah [15:41] Quantum_Ion: what channel was it meant for ? [15:41] Oh, and "printing to file" doesn't work to split it up - the size grows to over 100 MiB [15:41] X-Sleepy-X: That would require restarting the computer, no? [15:41] jenda zip has one of the highest compression, but try rar, most people can unrar them [15:41] lelle: yeah but can't see what they would be for [15:41] ikonia, it was meant foe #java === OpenSourcedNick1 is now known as OpenSourcedNick [15:41] Arsanerit: indeed it would [15:41] jenda: pdf is an image and so compression will not have much effect.

[15:41] X-Sleepy-X: How would I do that without root access? [15:41] wansen: Did you update the driver software?

[15:42] Arsanerit: you will be able to restart if in a gui session but you might not be able to log back in...

I have surrendered and pasted the file into OpenOffice and printed it from there. [15:43] usr13: it says that no ethernet wire is connected *hope i translated it correctly, im from germany* [15:43] mmm k [15:44] look_: thanks, but that seems to only deal with disabling automount or actually getting things mounted. I have automount turned off, but as soon as a user clicks their drive on the Places list, it gets mounted without a password [15:44] wansen: You may not have installed the software correctly, but can you assign an IP address to it and then ping that IP address? === Dynamic_Fail is now known as b0ot [15:45] has anyone here used Clonezilla? [15:45] shabbs: then i can't help you there, im interested in that to so ill do a bit a research, if i find anything ill tell you [15:45] since clonezilla runs from cd/dvd/usb its OS independant? [15:45] wansen: You probably need to try again to re-install the latest driver software. Make sure you have the correct software and try again to re-install correctly. [15:46] look_: alright, thanks [15:46] Hejdå. [15:46] vlc 1.4.4 is out...but i'm using only vlc1.0.6...when i try to update the vlc,it shows none [15:46] !clonezilla [15:47] usr13: hmm ive removed the old software and then started the setup for the latest driver software, there are no errors related to the driver, everything seems fine [15:47] wansen: I suppose that the TCPIP stack has become corrupt, see: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-TCP-IP-settings [15:48] babu__: ubuntu doesn't include updates like that; you need a repository that has the new version; check the vlc site [15:48] usr13: the version must also be correct because i typed in the whole name of my nic which ive copied from the lscpi command in the terminal [15:48] Excuse me, are the headers placed in the /home directory? [15:48] And the build essentials too? [15:48] Peace all, I have been trying to edit sources.list I'm unable to open it as 'root', any tips?

[15:49] usr13: also curious is that when i put in a wlan usb stick it works under win7 [15:49] Peace look, I'm use to running arch-linux [15:49] only LAN makes problems [15:49] zzzed, Oh, because windows is messing up grub. Windows automatically starts when I boot my laptop. [15:49] Didn't think to check that [15:49] Sary - thanks, exactly what I was looking for [15:49] :sudo edit ? [15:49] naseer-udeen: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.lst ? [15:50] I tried to update grub, nothing happens. [15:50] Kingsy, glad to know [15:50] sary !sary [15:50] wansen: What is a wlan usb stick? [15:50] naseer-udeen: sources.list [15:50] ive plugged in a hdd into new hardware, m-board etc, and it has ubuntu server on it, think its 8.04. it doesnt find the network and i wonder if there's a neat little command to solve this problem? [15:50] sary !gksudo [15:50] wansen: Oh wifi [15:50] ok [15:50] Peace bodwick, I'm use to be able to 'right click' open as root. Seems what look said, is true. I'm not part of the 'wheel/root' group [15:50] usr13: yes [15:50] reccomendations on a great podcast app for ubuntu (specifically one that remembers my progess of playing various podcasts so i can come back to where i left off) [15:50] Will dig around and see how to adjust [15:50] !gksudo [15:50] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [15:51] naseer-udeen: in terminal type sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list <--- should work [15:51] itsux2bu, Right , forgot that :) [15:51] erdnase, well you need to fix grub [15:51] !grub | erdnase [15:51] erdnase: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [15:51] Exactly what look posted [15:52] oh thats the format for sending info to people.. [15:52] wansen: It may be that a newer version of the software is the problem. May be a bug in it. May be that it had just downloaded new software for the NIC which caused it to not work any more. You might try reverting to an older version and see if that works. [15:52] zzzed, thanks a bunch. [15:52] !grub2 | itsux2bu [15:52] itsux2bu, please see my private message [15:53] usr13: i also assigned the ip address and gateway etc. manually but that also did not help [15:53] wansen: You not only need IP address and gateway but you also need nameserver. [15:53] Hi all, can someone point me to a page that explains how to run a cron script once a minute? [15:54] wansen: Did you manually assign a nameserver address? [15:54] !cron | trelayne [15:54] trelayne: 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 [15:54] wansen: sudo ifconfig i think that is how you do it, try that [15:54] thanks!

It was working yesterday but now everytime I exit alsamixer, it goes back to choosing the realtek card [15:58] anyone else have any ideas on restricting the mounting of flash drives to root/admin users? [15:58] usr13: yes the nameserver address is the router address, that number i had to paste into the gateway field [15:59] itsux2bu, if you want to change something with ifconfig, then you need sudo, to show your settings, sudo is not needed [15:59] [10:54] wansen: sudo ifconfig i think that is how you do it, try that <<-- i thot i've run it without sudo..

Maybe you do have filesystem errors [17:21] id31dn: probably on account of 10.10 being an alpha release [17:21] droot: You could try fsck [17:21] babu_ the fonts are small, blurry or what? [17:22] usr13, how is it used? [17:22] droot: I would try fsck on the partition that / is mounted on. [17:22] usr13, do i use it on the mountpoint or the /dev/sda[whatever] ? [17:23] droot: so you can boot from a live cd ok, but I think you upgraded at some point you kernel or your video driver? [17:23] fsck /dev/hdb2 [17:23] sacarlson, no, everything went just right before i tried to suspend to disk [17:23] where hdb2 is the partition where / is mounted [17:24] droot: Well where it WOULD be mounted. (You must first unmount it). [17:24] droot: but you had no swap partition? without that you can't suspend [17:24] droot: It is a bad idea to do an install with no swap partition. [17:24] sacarlson, i made one so i could suspend, then when i tried to resume it gave me kernel panic, so i thought that deleting the swap was gonna fix it [17:25] i originally had a swap partition [17:25] or more like a swap file [17:25] droot: you deleted the swap partition? [17:25] droot: also the swap partition must be as big or bigger than you memory ram size.

[17:27] droot: But, as I said before... it could be that you have filesystem errors on the root partition, and it's possible that fsck could fix them.

I'd just like a very brief answer from someone who knows why I may be unable to suspend or hibernate my desktop. I suspect it's the swap partition size since it's only 25% of total RAM (12 GB).

[17:43] itsux2bu, gonan try it right now :) i wonder why ubuntu is "improving" core things like this [17:43] update-rc.d worked perfect imo [17:43] Houston, we have a problem...

[17:45] katspaugh, there's the monkey something one, which is small and easy to install [17:46] katspaugh: perhaps running "python -m SimpleHTTPServer" might be enough for you [17:46] is Zorin supported here? [17:46] #close [17:46] droot: You should re-create the swap file and add it back to fstab file. ALSO: I don't know if UUID=56eb0e52-81eb-4a35-af61-9b35651819e9 is correct.

The problem is, that he does not reconize my battery. Can anybody help me? === Otacon22_ is now known as Otacon22 [17:53] is it possible to email myself a file from my desktop [17:53] gluegun: well if it real old then it won't boot a graphic 10.4 ubuntu. you need at least 500meg mem and 4 gig hd. not sure what graphics but old graphics should still work. [17:53] BitEncrypt: you can use the mail command usually, though I can't remember right now how to attach a file [17:54] BitEncrypt: you can also use something like mutt or pine [17:54] m11kkaa, What are you interesting in? [17:54] thx [17:54] gluegun: nomodeset didn't work? [17:54] Besogon: I have an "Acer Travelmate 8572TG" notebook. The problem is, that he does not recognize my battery.

[17:58] @Adrian_: gnome-terminal ? [17:58] Adrian__: right click the title > set title [17:58] Adrian__: seems they change by default now the terminal window for me at least [17:58] Good day. wlan0 does isn't in ifconfig. And if I do a ifconfig wlan0 up, it tells me that there is no such device. [17:58] How can i enable postgress? [17:59] Adrian__: gnome-terminal --title=Hello [17:59] I have remote question I see the desktop and can select menu items but they don't display on my remote screen [17:59] sfears: My notebook can switch between two graphiccards so i can choose between 8 hours batterlife and max power. therer are tutorials how two switch in ubuntu but for testing if it worked i need to check the battery consumption. On the other hand it would be great to know when i have to reload my battery [17:59] TEJ: is your remote screen set up as a mirror of your desktop or an extention? [18:00] sfears: it work! but just for 1 sec. [18:00] I have no idea [18:00] @Adrian_: menu Terminal -> Set title [18:01] glebihan: where is this option : "set title"? [18:01] @Adrian_: do you have the menu bar visible ? [18:01] TEJ: open display settings [18:01] #ubuntu.set_name( "Emphero"); [18:02] glebihan: yes. [18:02] Let me rephrase my question. wlan0 is not in the ifconfig list. How come? And I can't connect wirelessly; I already installed ndiswrapper along with the correct driver thing. [18:02] @Adrian_: and a Terminal item in it ? [18:02] Yes [18:02] @Adrian_: and no Set title item ? [18:02] erdnase: have you "modprobe ndiswrapper"?? [18:02] glebihan: Thanks a lot! :D It works [18:02] m11kkaa, I don't know. Ask. Is it yours message? http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/acer-8572tg-acku-wird-nicht-erkannt/ [18:02] erdnase: What does iwconfig say? [18:02] @Adrian_: you're welcome [18:02] stears, yep.

[18:04] m11kkaa, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1530467 [18:04] itsux2bu: you could run that in the Alt-F2 run dialog [18:04] command not found [18:04] m11kkaa, may be it will help [18:05] tej.. somewhere in your ubuntu menu there is a system settings or control panel or something of the sort.. in there is a display option, find that [18:05] bastidrazor, or edit the menu item that calls up terminal? [18:06] @TEJ: System->Administration->Monitors [18:06] itsux2bu: no, that would not set the Title displayed in th eterminal [18:07] Besogon: the guys in this thread have no solution :( [18:07] itsux2bu: type that at the command prompt [18:07] itsux2bu: you can also change the title by editing the gnome-terminal profile preferences. [18:07] now if only i could get amarok to work [18:08] Hi Im installing a home server, p4 1gb ram, 40gb hhd [18:08] do I need LVM? [18:08] m11kkaa, you are right. I didn't read to the end. Now I do [18:08] skwo: it comes in handy sometimes. === fdh is now known as Guest54952 [18:08] LVM would probably make more efficient use of your space skwo [18:09] SwedeMike: as I unserstood it used to add on fly hard discs [18:09] sfears: I see [18:09] What's the default password of a user account when I add it with `useradd', or is there none? [18:09] my idea worked but the regular title overwrote it [18:09] By the way, any useful partition layout for 40gb hdd for home server? [18:09] skwo: yes, that it can do too. most importantly, it can migrate between drives without having to take the machine offline. [18:09] btw I forgot to thank whomever that was who pointed me to the right printer administration program, someone was trying to talk to me [18:10] SwedeMike: Oh thats cool, Ill setup LVM then [18:10] @nsd: you have to set one before logging in with this username [18:11] glebihan: you mean with passwd? so no one would be able to log in if I didn't set it with that? [18:11] there is no system administration monitors [18:11] SwedeMike: can you suggest some partition layout? Or I should just use the whol 40gb? [18:11] whole* [18:11] 10 Gig / - 2 gig swap - 28 Gig /home is what i would use for non server, i'm not sure what i would pick for server skwo [18:11] @nsd: yes [18:11] the server will be used as file server, web server, ftp and svn server [18:11] glebihan: I added users that have windows machines so they could print via samba, but I don't want them to actually log into the machine [18:11] glebihan: thanks for the info [18:11] skwo: it makes sense for your data drives, not your system drive. [18:12] skwo: like if you have 3x500G for data and you insert 3x2TB and want to migrate to that [18:12] sfears: yea that a good layout for home, but afaik /var/www is used for web server so I wonder if 10gb will be enough [18:12] hi guys! how do you chroot into your system from a live-cd? [18:12] IC [18:12] m11kkaa, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/578894 [18:12] SwedeMike: I dont understand [18:12] skwo: if you only have a single drive I wouldn't bother with lwm. [18:13] oh I see [18:13] @nsd: so why did you need the password ? === EvilAz is now known as artveee [18:13] so simply choose "Guided - use entire disk"? [18:13] glebihan: I didn't need the password, I was just curious as to what it did by default; if I knew that it used a standard default password, I would have changed it to something random, but knowing that no one can log in until it is set means I don't have to do anything [18:14] @glebihan there is no monitors setting in system administration I am using a laptop so that may be teh reason [18:14] glebihan: again, the user accounts only exist because there is an option in samba's configuration that allows only users on remote machines with corresponding usernames on the local machine [18:14] tej, how about display? [18:14] m11kkaa, Rebuild the kernel is required. May be it will help [18:15] @TEJ: sorry, System->Preferences->Monitors [18:15] hi, how can I set gnome keyring to unlock automatically when using gdm autologin? [18:15] @nsd: ok, so everything's ok ? [18:15] Could someone help me with iptables? === lresende_ is now known as lresende [18:15] @glebihan that is there [18:15] Besogon: i alreader tried 2.6.35-kernel but it doesn't help [18:15] can't say i know much about iptables Besogon [18:15] glebihan: yes :) [18:15] Sigh.. I don't know what I missed. Wlan0 just isn't cooperating with me. [18:16] @nsd: nice [18:16] erdnase: What does iwconfig say? [18:16] what gnome keyring? [18:16] erdnase: What does ndiswrapper -l say? [18:16] usr13, does not list wlan0 too. Aaand, just listed the other two. :P [18:16] sfears, http://pastebin.com/Ns92hmUz [18:16] what is gnome keyring? [18:17] usr13, well, ndiswrapper -l said I already installed the driver. [18:17] It listed one driver. The bcmwl5 I think. [18:17] Ubuntu supports VNC by default... so if I'm trying to connect from one Ubuntu machine to another vic remote desktop viewer and it's giving me nothing but a black screen in return, what could it be? [18:17] erdnase: How many wifi NICs do you have in this machine? [18:17] itsux2bu: gnome keyring is a sort of a password manager, if I understand correctly; it allows applications to do things without requiring you to type in your password, hence "keyring manager" [18:18] perhaps an echo command Besogon? [18:18] sfears, I heve 2 network. eth0 (local class) and eth1 (LAN with DHCP) ubuntu connects both. I had used the file I sent you. [18:18] usr13 only one. [18:18] erdnase: What does iwconfig say? [18:18] Besogon: I think my problem is a bit different, because in the bucktracker they wrote about the output of "cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state" which is "charging state: discharging" for them. But for me this gives "present: no"-message [18:18] nsd what does Revelation do? [18:18] itsux2bu: no idea, sorry [18:18] @sfears: I found monitors but the only selections are resolution,rotation and refresh rate [18:19] ok.. [18:19] usr13, wait, let me try and remember it. lol. [18:19] and i see both eth0 and eth1 are using the same IP?? [18:19] erdnase: Does iwconfig report "No wireless extensions" or... ____________? [18:19] tej, there is nothing in there about the second monitor? [18:19] no [18:19] and i see both eth0 and eth1 are using the same IP?? Besogon? [18:19] usr13 iwconfig reported that fore eth0 and the other one. [18:20] I didn't get anything about wlan0. [18:20] sfears, I made ping from eth0 to the ubuntu IP address which belongs to eth1 network. And that was succsessful. Does it mean that iptables rules had been made in right way? [18:20] wiconfig shows eth0 ? [18:20] @TEJ: Did you try "Detect monitors" ? [18:20] usr13, yes. [18:20] yes nothing happens [18:20] erdnase: lspci |grep -i wireless [18:20] not sure Besogon [18:20] Besogon: They are talking about an kernel-patch which seems to work for them maybe I should try it out [18:20] sfears, eth0 has IP 192.168.29.1 and eth1 has IP from LAN DHCP [18:21] so I have a printer that's being shared by some Windows machines with samba, but how can I use it on another Linux machine? I tried adding a printer via CUPS' web-based administration tool and pointing it to the IP of the machine that's sharing the printer, but it didn't find anything. Do I have to install samba on the linux machine, too? [18:21] usr13, I'll try that one after I sleep, thank you. :) [18:21] erdnase: If iwconfig shows eth0 then that is your wireless device and it is fully supported. Just use eth0 to connec to your wireless router. [18:21] usr13, oh, I didn't know. [18:21] hellow [18:21] there is a check box for same same display all monitors but it is greyed out can't select [18:21] how to chroot into your system from a live-cd?

[18:23] sfears, But I could ping from eth0 to eth1 indeed. BUT actually dhcp relay daemon don't work and I don't know why... [18:23] usr13: it gives me "chroot: cannot run command /bin/bash: Exec format error".

[18:24] usr13: yeah that's what I did, and it's in /media/02081061-bla-bla-bla [18:24] nafri: for ssh, just do sudo apt-get install openssh-server [18:24] nafri: apt-get install telnet [18:25] whenever i log into my laptop, i get prompted to enter my password because my login keyring did not authenticate. is there a way i can have it do it automatically so im not prompted after i log in? [18:25] nsd: ok done, how can i start ssh service? [18:25] anyone using ubuntu in the financial services field? [18:25] nafri: it should start by itself, I think; try sshing into your machine from another one, it should work [18:25] not sure Besogon, i'm not that good yet [18:25] nsd: worked thx :) [18:25] nsd nafri you can also ssh into localhost i believe to see if its working [18:25] nafri: np [18:26] nafri, you using ubuntu server? [18:26] LuckySMack: really? that's good to know, thanks [18:26] LuckySMack: i'm not sure that has anything to do with the keyring, in your system preferences, under login, there should be an option to auto login [18:26] nafri: if you do have to restart the ssh server for some reason, it looks like there's an init script, so you would just do 'sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart' [18:26] How can I disable automatic start of presentation for .pps files on openoffice? Without manually renaming to .ppt of course. [18:26] sfears, i already autologin. this is a different prompt that mentions the keyring [18:27] looking though [18:27] nafri: without the quotes, of course [18:27] @LuckySMack: http://johnny.chadda.se/article/unlock-the-gnome-keyring-upon-login/ [18:27] nafri, you using ubuntu server?

I recently installed w7 besides ubuntu (since some stuff for my university does not run on wine), and I'm having some weird issues with my clock. The windows clock and ubuntu clock are "out of sync" with eachother. When I set the time correctly on ubuntu, and then reboot into windows, the windows clock has been set two hours earlier (so 8pm becomes 6pm). When I set the windows clock correctly, and then reboot into [18:53] ubuntu, the ubuntu clock is set two hours into the future. [18:53] LjL: nah... #suse was spammed a lot, they did some stuff... [18:53] my eth0 device is being lost after boot, why it's that?? [18:53] LjL: try asking, it does not cost anything ;-) [18:53] are you ok ? [18:53] I'm already using NTP on ubuntu so that's being synced with the internet correctly.

[19:06] Hounddog, your using ubuntu server? [19:07] ninjai, you can see what it is listening on with: netstat -neap [19:07] Hounddog, there is a desktop and server version of ubuntu [19:07] sjm thanks, that wounds useful! it's a default install... how can I change what it's listening on?

[19:24] can you get more than 2GB of storage on ubuntu one? [19:24] Tanvir, and what does the log file tell you? [19:24] Tanvir: weird issues can happen with Wubi, so I suggest doing a proper partitioned install of a Linux distro [19:25] Tanvir: plus real partitions are better in the long run [19:25] Tanvir, right click and choose run as administrator [19:25] (free nodes web client sucks can you guys see this text?) [19:25] itsux2bu: i want to try it [19:25] pfifo: yep [19:25] I've chroot'ed from a live cd into my system.. and how do I chroot back to the live-cd now? [19:25] zanberdo, where is the log file? [19:25] i don't know [19:26] if i sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, will that upgrade my kernel as well? [19:26] felicity: If theres an upgrade available in the repositories. [19:26] felicity: What version of Ubuntu are you on? [19:26] Tanvir, so what's in that site? [19:26] *file? [19:26] sebsebseb: karmic [19:26] i got it [19:27] felicity: ok 9.10 is still supported untill the end of April next year, but yes if you upgrade to 10.04 [19:27] felicity: you also get a later kernel [19:27] sebsebseb: thanks === EvilPhoenix is now known as EvilTrek [19:27] felicity: in certain ways 9.10 is the better release, but this is personal opinion as well [19:28] Does anyone have dell inspiron-1545 laptop with ubuntu installed? [19:28] felicity: Why do you want to upgrade the kernel anyway? I mean whats wrong with the 9.10 kernel? [19:28] sebsebseb: you think so?hmm, i was having problems with my alsa so i decided to upgrade.will see, i still have the iso around just in case === EvilTrek is now known as EvilPhoenix [19:28] felicity: also not properly supported, but you could probably find a ppa for a later kernel, that you could install into 9.10 [19:29] sebsebseb: There may be a point release upgrade available in the repos. [19:29] Pici: for 9.10? so would only be a security update release in the repo, if anything [19:29] sebsebseb: Those are still called upgrades. [19:29] sebsebseb: will have a look.its been 3 years since i used ubuntu,so am a little rusty [19:30] sebsebseb: my alsa however, it kept "forgetting" my sound levels even after an alsactl store! [19:30] Pici: well yeah [19:30] felicity: oh you been doing stuff with alsamixer? [19:31] sebsebseb: yes.and now, my sound is always "going" and i have to reset it, eh [19:31] sebsebseb, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/LayEzkJP [19:31] zanberdo, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/LayEzkJP [19:31] felicity: I have this issue with another distro, but doesn't bother me that much, since using alsamixer is easy === Jordan_U_ is now known as Jordan_U [19:32] sebsebseb: i know, i just thought maybe it'll solve it for me, gave me quite the scare [19:32] sebsebseb, zanberdo the log file [19:32] Could anyone help me reach the Maverick 10.10 download page? I noticed the beta was released today on a facebook post but the link is broken. [19:32] felicity: gave you quite the scare? [19:33] hi [19:33] sebsebseb: yes, as in it freaked me out!lol [19:33] rantic: no its not out yet [19:33] rantic: and you want #ubuntu+1 [19:33] Why have they tricked me : ( [19:33] rantic: it will come out a bit later on probably [19:34] felicity: how so? [19:34] felicity: upgrading the kernel probably won't really help much with an alsa issue, if at all, by the way [19:34] They still testing Maverick Beta .. [19:35] sebsebseb: oh snap! well it used to work with arch linux so i thought the same would happen.well i'll see and i'll come ask for help after i get tired of googling [19:35] I only had the impression it was out today because of the facebook post which says .... Maverick beta is out today. : p [19:35] Hopefully, today UTC time [19:35] felicity: Ubuntu since 8.04 uses pulseaudio by default, but I assume you disabled that and are using alsa instead? You could upgrade to 10.04, but I have a feeling that won't be of much help for your issue either, but it might be, so worth a try I guess. [19:36] rantic only trust news from the source. > http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [19:37] !hi Terminator [19:37] hey guys. i just installed gentoo on sda2 and i ran update-grub and it didn't add it to the boot menu. does anyone have any idea what could've caused it? [19:38] rantic: It will be announced on the mailing list and the topic in #ubuntu+1 will be changed to reflect that. You can look there for the announcement. [19:40] my USB ports keep going offline, any ideas why or how to fix? Recently upgraded to 10.04. lsusb hangs showing nothing. ps aux|grep usb shows 3 unknown tasks: ksuspend_usbd, usb-storage, usbhid_resumer. dmesg shows nothing when i plug a usb thumb drive in. [19:40] Pici: Makes sense .. I've only had Ubuntu 10.04.1 for a few days but because of an issue with my memory card reader I haven't been doing much. [19:42] there is not a !purekde factoid updated to 10.04? [19:44] hi guys..... how to resolve invalid magic number ERROR when booting ? [19:45] I have some older systems that I needed to wipe the drives on and I figured the easiest and quickest way way to mount the drives, delete the partition, create a new partition and format it. Anything else that needs to be done as far as removing recoverable data? [19:46] Hello! [19:47] hi [19:47] Mba7eth: hi [19:47] AdrianISV: :) [19:50] hi guys..... how to resolve invalid magic number ERROR when booting ? [19:51] itsux2bu you still there? [19:51] Mba7eth: My guess would be to learn spell casting to be able to cast the right magic number... ;) [19:51] Mba7eth: Did you compile your own kernel? [19:52] !resetpanels > Oer [19:52] Oer, please see my private message [19:52] Jordan_U, no i just installed Redhat first then ubuntu but now i can now longer boot into REDhat [19:52] How can I disable automatic start of presentation for .pps files on openoffice? Without manually renaming to .ppt of course. [19:53] Jordan_U, I can boot into ubuntu without any issue, but when booting into redhat i got this error " Invalid magic number" [19:53] Mba7eth: Maybe the error is caused by a typo in your grub.cfg [19:54] Kuehlschrank, I didnt touch that file :) [19:54] Mba7eth: Perhaps there is a backup of the old file? [19:55] Mba7eth: If so you could compare them... [19:55] Mba7eth: It would be nice if you could post it to pastebin [19:55] Is there a way I can copy a bunch of files to another folder from a folder with tons of subfolders but only want to copy one file textension? such as .jpg [19:55] Mba7eth: Could you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg and the /boot/grub/menu.lst from Red Hat? [19:56] arrg, 10.04 doesn't give me a boot menu , just skips it and launches, i want to boot into the previous installed kernel. [19:56] been so long i don't remember hoow. [19:56] this is my grub.cfg file --> http://pastebin.com/tw79j84h [19:56] dex_: In the terminal you can use somthing like "cp /source/directory/*.jpg /destination/directory/" [19:56] go to the grub command and type cat /boot/ and push tab [19:56] NET||abuse: Hold shift while booting. [19:57] dex_: Nvm, see you also need files from subfolders. For that you'll want to use "find". [19:57] Pici, hehe, that's much better than mashing all the F[xx] buttons on boot [19:57] whats the best way in ubuntu to change the hostname of the server so that it reflects everywhere? [19:58] !hostname | acidjazz [19:58] acidjazz: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING!

[19:58] Jordan_U, btw i didn't install grub when installing redhat .... so this file doesn't exist in redhat boot folder [19:59] OpenVPN on Ubuntu "no vpn secrets" when using the network manager - any thoughts? [19:59] hey guys. i just installed gentoo on sda2 and i ran update-grub and it didn't add it to the boot menu. does anyone have any idea what could've caused it? [20:00] rbellamy: you probably need a preshared key on each side [20:00] it's password authentication [20:00] hi whats the good way to allow php to freely write delete and modify file in a folder ? [20:00] dwxreaper, and the sample .conf file doesn't have it... [20:01] Madwill, not? [20:02] not ? [20:02] like now allow it to is the good way [20:02] Madwill: correct [20:02] we do rely a lot on user specific content which require some sort of upload somewhere [20:02] Madwill, I was being facetious... sorry... [20:02] might even delete the content some day [20:03] Madwill: ftp? [20:03] oh damn instant meeting [20:03] brb [20:03] so how bad is the version of evolution in ubuntu, I noticed 2.30 on gnome.org and 2.28 on system. Will evolution guys even support? I am having couple of problem...cant connect to exchange 5.5 [20:05] guys...is there a definitive answer (I guess technically) of whether Chrome or Firefox is better? [20:05] i need help setting up a dc++ compatible server [20:05] javatexan: exchange 5.5 ¿ is that exchange 2003¿ ; have you installed evolution-exchange or evolution-mapi packages¿ [20:05] ubottu: !best | mikebeecham [20:05] mikebeecham: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [20:05] plz i need help to setup evilwm [20:06] mikebeecham, yes there is a definitive answer: absolutely maybe. [20:06] xangua: its 2007, i think. yes to evolution-exchange, no to evolution-mapi....mapi looks like have to build from source? [20:06] kbrosnan, I'm not asking about best - even though I worded it that way...I guess I'm trying to figure out if one or the other is faster, more robust....everything else is down to personal choice [20:06] javatexan: Exchange 5 is unsupported in the connectors that Ubuntu bundles and is unlikely to ever be supported. [20:06] anybody have some love for the OpenVPN "no vpn secrets" issue with NetworkManager setup OpenVPN connections? This is something I've had problems with since 9.04... [20:06] javatexan: you need evolution-mapi for exchange 2007 [20:07] mikebeecham, it's the same as asking which is better vi or emacs - depends on who you ask [20:07] mikebeecham, I use chrome for everything but Elasticfox, or if I want to do "private" browsing... [20:07] anyone know why atop shows two nvidia-settings processes starting/exiting every time it refreshes? [20:07] don't know if it works, tried last noght to set up hotmail with it but couldn't because it was asking for a domain but try it if you want javatexan [20:07] What utility can I use to observe disk i/o throughput? [20:07] mikebeecham, it's a religious question. [20:08] rbellamy, "private browsing"...yeah, searching for anniversay gifts, just like the new browser in Windows 7....we really know what private browsing is for!!! [20:08] mikebeecham, pr0n, of course. [20:08] of course [20:08] specifically, I have attached an esata drive to my machine and I'd like to verify that I'm using it through the esata channel and not through the usb channel (the usb connections are supposed to be for power only) [20:08] zanberdo, iotop - simple top-like I/O monitor (one option) [20:08] I like nekkid wemins.

[20:10] )Agoycb5847 [20:10] hope that wan't a password rbellamy [20:10] zanberdo, you might actually find hdparm more useful for speed testing [20:10] is there a safe ppa on launchpad for evolution 2.30? [20:10] or good ppa would work too === jangell__ is now known as jangell [20:11] dex_: The only possible problem with that command is that it won't replicate the directory structure, all of the resultimg files will be /destination/directory/*.jpg not /destination/some_subdirectory/*.jpg . [20:11] I have a webui available at localhost/rutorrent; this computer is seen in the Internet at myname.dns.org (I can access it through ssh by typing user@myname.dns.org). How to access my webui from Web? I tried myname.dns.org/rutorrent but it didn't work [20:11] javatexan: there is a ppa, but it frozes the calendar [20:11] * helo writes down rbellamy's password [20:11] doh [20:11] lol [20:11] ZykoticK9, I think I've played with that in the past, however if I recall it doesn't actually measure the current throughput of a operation such as rsync (which is what I'm running now). Ideally I'd love an apt similar to speedometer which would report on whatever devices I specify in a linear graph... [20:12] heh [20:12] good luck with that helo. [20:12] xangua: I just checked gnome evolution guys don't want to support 2.28 problems. :( [20:12] javatexan: http://ur1.ca/1gdvj you can always remove a ppa with ppa-purge [20:13] ZykoticK9, iotop with the -o option does seem cleaner than iostat. thanks for the suggestion. it's not perfect, but I think it's giving me what I need. [20:13] zanberdo, glad to help. best of luck. [20:13] I used to have a simple system properties program in ubuntu... something that just told me basic stuff. ram, processor speed, graphcis card type, etc. [20:13] any idea? [20:14] Roasted_: add to panel "System Monitor" [20:14] oh duh [20:14] I always use sys monitor for processes. I forgot there were other tabs. I suck. [20:15] can someone please tell me what the difference between gksudo and sudo is? [20:15] !gksudo [20:15] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [20:15] i.e why do I need to run gksudo gedit /etc/hostname ? rather then just use sudo [20:16] ahhhh [20:16] use sudo in terminal/tty.. use gksudo for graphical apps [20:16] what is the default wireless manager for ubuntu? [20:16] makes sense.. so because I am loading gedit with that command gksudo is the one [20:16] thanks [20:16] gedit is graphical app [20:17] tacomaster, nm-applet (network-monitor) [20:17] tacomaster, though I recommend purging it for wicd (just my personal preference) [20:17] zanberdo: no i was actually going to get rid of wicd for it [20:18] tacomaster, oh? interesting. I'm just curious, buy why? I like wicd for the simple fact that it will connect resolve networking without you having to log into an account (unlike nm-app) [20:19] so I'm looking for a good alternative distro from ubuntu. I'm using crunchbang right now but i've been looking at slackware. any other suggestions?

I tried myname.dns.org/rutorrent but it didn't work [20:21] alkamid, are you forwarding port 80 from your router/firewall to your machine? === Cpudan80_ is now known as Cpudan80 [20:22] ZykoticK9, yes [20:23] alkamid: The default port for webui is probably 6886, 8080, or 8081. Try something like http://myname.dns.org:8081/rutorrent. The `netstat` program can tell you where its listening. [20:23] i use utorrent in windows.. what bittorrent client(s) are there for *nix ? [20:24] dajhorn, assuming localhost/rutorrent does work, it shouldn't be a port issue - as that would be 80 [20:26] itsux2bu: a lot [20:26] I need help with an Ubuntu installation. I made a wrong turn somewhere and I don't want to destroy my existing Win environment. [20:27] i'm trying to figure out what the point of Gwibber is. i thought it would show me the tweets of people i follow on twitter, but that doesn't seem to be the case. is it only for posting my own tweets? [20:27] on reboot during the installation process the screen says "Attempting Boot from Hard Drive / error: no such device [then a long code number] / grub rescue > [20:28] itsux2bu: transmission [20:28] simple and wallah [20:28] randallnewton: is windows still installed? [20:29] Yes, unless it has already been overwritten. I don't believe that has happened. [20:29] hi where's the boot prompt i need to do a rescue [20:29] i need to rescue my grub [20:29] rek: it should be on the Grub boot [20:30] rek: hold down the right shift key [20:30] randallnewton: boot up a live CD [20:30] rek: hold down the right shift key [20:30] rek: er, as your computer boots, hold down the shift key [20:30] and edit grub [20:30] when cmatheson ? [20:30] kevr: how can i edit it [20:30] rek: as soon as your computer turns on, just hold the shift key down and you'll get the grub menu you're used to. it's a pain in the butt, but that's how grub2 is [20:31] i need to type rescue and grub-install /dev/.... [20:31] rek: in a terminal type sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg [20:31] cmatheson: are u sure? [20:31] rek: you installed windows 7 over didn't you [20:31] rek: but installing it, and using the grub cmdline before you do [20:31] moin [20:31] by* [20:32] there are tons of guides on google on how to repair grub with a live cd [20:32] Kevr, OK ... if I can find the CD [20:32] look_: then what should i modify ? i installed win 7 in another partition in order to play some things that only win can play in another partition... [20:32] you should google, instead of making me do it. [20:32] just a forewarn [20:32] xD [20:32] I am guessing I am screwed. My exchange needs SSL, I can't find anywhere someone getting that to work with evolution-mapi [20:32] sorry but i'd like some...tips.. [20:32] xangua: [20:33] javatexan: Exchange 5 is ancient and unsupported by the evolution helpers. [20:33] rek: i just gave the tips [20:33] now the walkthroughs are on google [20:33] !grub2 | rek [20:33] rek: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [20:33] ehat about shift ? [20:33] Boom. [20:33] Check that out. [20:33] rek: what i do is install windows first, but i did this once. just reinstall ubuntu on a 2GB partition and it will replace MBR with Grub [20:33] ZykoticK9: nice bot. [20:33] should i try it? [20:33] is it yours? [20:33] dajhorn: gotcha, know of any ninja moves to make it work? LOL [20:33] Kevr, I have both Ubuntu 7.04 and 8.10, but neither says "live CD" [20:34] !ubottu | kevr [20:34] kevr: Hi! I'm ubottu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [20:34] there is a #grub [20:34] ah [20:34] randallnewton: just boot up the cds, they are live cds [20:34] javatexan: Evolution pulls a lot of its data through an OW [20:34] with this link.. http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [20:34] OK. [20:34] javatexan: Evolution pulls a lot of its data through an OWA scrape. It can be fixed, but nobody wants to do it. [20:35] dajhorn: well we have OWA, but i get the 5.5 error that way [20:35] Looks like itsux2bu did the work, and now all you have to do is click a link, rek [20:35] either ubottu's or itsux2bu's link [20:35] ok [20:36] I am at the menu of choices which includes "Install Ubuntu." [20:36] javatexan: Exchange 5.5 support ended sometime in late 2005. If you are really actually talking to an Exchange 5.5 server, then you've probably got a hopeless IT environment. You may want to double-check the version number that you gave earlier. [20:36] I have a big apt problem, I'm trying to install libncurses5-dev and it says: Depends: libncurses5 (=5.7+20090803-2ubuntu3) but 5.7+20100626-0ubuntu1 is to be installed I try to forceversion libncurses5 and nothing happens [20:38] how can i find which user runs php [20:38] Madwill, my guess is www-data, but i don't know how to confirm/deny that. Best of luck. [20:38] randallnewton: what do you want to accomplish? [20:39] I have a big apt problem, I'm trying to install libncurses5-dev and it says: Depends: libncurses5 (=5.7+20090803-2ubuntu3) but 5.7+20100626-0ubuntu1 is to be installed I try to forceversion libncurses5 and nothing happens [20:39] !repeat | Maahes [20:39] Maahes: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com [20:40] Ok, I have two monitors, setup as twin view, however, Lucid no longer uses xorg (right?) so nvidia wants to save the config to xorg, does it need to be saved in xorg? or is there a better way? [20:40] shane2peru, "sudo nvidia-xconfig" to generate an xorg.conf for nvidia [20:40] GUNTBERT: The goal is dual boot Win and Ubuntu. I've done it on other computers and it seemed no-brainer but this time I goofed and got to a prompt that said it couldn't boot the hard drive and "grub rescue" [20:40] May I please have the command to open the file manager? [20:40] litropy, nautilus [20:40] Maahes: You've got a stale apt cache, or you're missing an deb-src line somewhere. -dev packages often depend on specific version of the implementation. [20:41] Maahes: you can try apt-get install libncurses-dev=5.7+20090803-2ubuntu3 [20:41] ZykoticK9, right, but I didn't think lucid uses xorg, so would that cause a conflict? or would it even check for it? [20:41] dajhorn:, Muelli thankyou ^_^ [20:41] shane2peru, with nvidia you need an xorg.conf! [20:41] Maahes: generally, you can force the version to be installed with the "=version" syntax. To get the available versions, do a apt-cache policy [20:41] ZykoticK9, ok, thanks a bundle~ [20:41] Maahes: 5.7+20090803-2ubuntu3 is current for Lucid. That probably means that you just need to upgrade the libncurses5 library to current too. [20:42] GUNTBERT: Right now I've booted a Ubuntu CD and have the starting screen for trying U. or installing it. [20:43] randallnewton: I see .. that was why you asked about live CD (and old CDs) ... sorry I cannot really help you, step 1 would be to diagnose the problem, but as I said ... grub rescue is not where I'm good -- Good luck :-) [20:43] dajhorn: that's actually what I'm trying to do, its the libncurses5 library that won't forceversion in synaptic [20:43] KEVR, are you still answering me? It got really confusing upstream. [20:43] Hi. Can I configure NetworkManager to flash the whole screen when the VPN connection "AirNet" drops (like it just did)? I use Compiz's magnification so I won't know until it's too late. Thanks [20:44] 10.04 [20:44] so is refreshing the apt-cache just an aptitude update? === EvilTrek is now known as EvilPhoenix [20:44] also can someone kill the regular pietro10 [20:44] how do you find out what version of gnome you are running? [20:44] Maahes: Try `apt-get autoremove --purge libncurses5-dev` followed by a `apt-get dist-upgrade`. Just removing the wedged package can often resolve dependency problems. [20:44] pietro10_: generally yes. But it won't be too easy. I don't think NetworkManager caters that need so you'd have to code it up yourself. [20:45] javatexan: system > about gnome [20:45] lol, that was easy....thanks [20:45] hello [20:46] Repeating my problem. On reboot during the installation process the screen says (line by line) "Attempting Boot from Hard Drive / error: no such device [then a long code number] / grub rescue >" [20:47] I shut the computer off and then booted an Ubuntu CD. Can I just start over or do I need to do something to repair? I don't want to lose the Win installation already on this computer. [20:47] any nice people over here ? [20:47] ey guys U have a problem I have ubuntu 8.10 and I need upgrade this to ubuntu 9.10 [20:48] anyone the best way? [20:48] randallnewton: if ytou did not install anything, your PC should be unaffected === Misterio is now known as Misterio_ [20:48] ey guys U have a problem I have ubuntu 8.10 and I need upgrade this to ubuntu 9.10 anyone the best way? === Misterio_ is now known as Misterio [20:48] Who is the messageb user listed in my top listing and what are they for? [20:48] keywoard: are you willing to do a fresh install ? [20:48] yeah you should, 10.04 is out already [20:49] keywoard, i'd recommend a reinstall personally - you'd need to update 8.10 to 9.04 then 9.04 to 9.10 i believe. plus personally i'd recommend 10.04 [20:49] RandomRoger: I did the goof up a few weeks ago, and am just getting back to fix it. I think I did something on both physical hard drives that I should not have done. But I'm not really sure. [20:49] and in about 1 month its 10.10 [20:49] randallnewton, I have a server with 8.10 I wont delete anything [20:49] personally i wouldnt update at all [20:49] hmm, I'm not 100% sure what the issue is. Can you recap randallnewton ? [20:49] ZykoticK9, how can do it? with apt-get dist-upgrade ? [20:50] kevr: thank you [20:50] keywoard, wrong command. i don't do updates, so i'm not realy sure... [20:50] mnt now is busy but i'm rebooting the system now [20:50] keywoard: dont you consider doing a clean install instead? [20:51] to update from 8.10 to 9.10 you will need to upgrade to 9.04 first [20:51] I have a lot of things there [20:51] I cant erase anything [20:51] RANDOMROGER: A few weeks ago I started a Ubuntu install on a Win 7 machine. Somewhere in the process it asked me a question I don't remember, but it was about choosing which physical drive ... I chose both. Then it rebooted and I got the "grub rescue" screen. I don't know how to proceed. [20:51] I just need add new things [20:51] keywoard: the problem is that updates may be dangerous and break your system [20:51] Hmm [20:51] so maybe you should consider backup anyay, even if you plan on upgrading [20:51] right now I have Ubuntu 8.10 cd booted. [20:52] randallnewton: I would put in the ubuntu CD and start the proccess again. I'm not sure exactly what mite have happened. [20:52] keywoard, it' better to assume the upgrades WILL break your system - be sure to back everything up before proceeding (which then means you can fresh install WHEN things go bad) [20:52] Possibly try selecting only 1 physical drive when it asks. [20:52] How can I disable automatic start of presentation for .pps files on openoffice? Without manually renaming to .ppt of course. [20:52] ZykoticK9: completely agree [20:52] RandomRoger: there is an option to "boot from first hard drive." shall I try that first? [20:53] Hmm, yes you could try. [20:53] Who is the messageb user listed in my top listing and what are they for? [20:53] It sounds to be me like the install did not finish though [20:53] RandomRoger: I got the "grub rescue" screen again. [20:53] Hi, I was wondering if there was a way through either Compiz or X to have windows expand independently of the size of the font? When I try to maximize the terminal window, for example, I have a border of whitespace due to the fact that the window size is not a direct multiple of the font size. Is there a workaround for this? [20:53] randallnewton: I would try booting the install CD and start over. [20:53] I'll reboot the Ubuntu CD and start the install process again. When it asks which physical hard drive, how do I know which one? [20:54] I see this cmd [20:54] sudo apt-get install update-manager-core [20:54] JohnSQ_: That is the DBUS account. Don't touch it. [20:54] One should be the master drive [20:54] I have just edited my samba configurations file.. umm --> gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf <-- after that how do I restart samba? I thought it was sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart but that doesnt work [20:54] !DBUS [20:54] do-release-upgrade [20:54] Hello everybody, does anyone know that unsupported Ubuntu releases means the end of updates (as in all updates [including Wine])? [20:54] whit this cmd we can upgrade [20:54] I'm reading a post [20:54] Kingsy: sudo service samba restart? (maybe sambad, check) [20:54] anyone know this cmd? [20:55] keywoard: upgrade your packages or upgrade to a new release of ubuntu? [20:55] keywoard, "sounds" correct [20:55] hi [20:55] hai [20:55] upgrade new realse [20:55] now i'm running my system [20:55] I want 9.10 [20:55] !upgrade | keywoard [20:55] keywoard: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [20:55] dajhorn: What about the rtkit user? /usr/lib/ritkit/rtkit/-daemon Is that normal? [20:55] let met see [20:55] I just have console [20:55] is a server [20:55] but i haven't seen any grub look_ what does this mean [20:55] keywoard: I would suggest backing up your important data, Often times an upgrade can break the system. [20:55] keywoard: that link has server instructions too [20:55] rek: wait are you in windows? [20:56] rek: or linux? [20:56] upgrade = RAM = $ [20:56] JohnSQ_: Also a system account. [20:56] look_: i'm on kubuntu [20:56] jrib - same error umm samba: unrecognized service or sambad: unrecognized service or sudo: /etc/init.d/samba: command not found <-- any other ideas? [20:56] RandomRoger: I think I'll poke around with "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer" and see if I can figure out whether or not my existing Win installation is still there. [20:56] rek: yes thats linux [20:56] Nothing to worry about then? [20:56] you didn't see grub? [20:56] look_: of course [20:56] Hi, I was wondering if there was a way through either Compiz or X to have windows expand independently of the size of the font? When I try to maximize the terminal window, for example, I have a border of whitespace due to the fact that the window size is not a direct multiple of the font size. Is there a workaround for this? [20:56] rek: are you on a live cd? please give better details [20:56] dajhorn: Where can I view a list of all system accounts? [20:56] Yeah, that's a decent idea randallnewton. It sounds like it mite be gone already. But at very least you can do some research as to how to procceed [20:57] Kingsy: try "smbd" [20:57] hey guys! is there any way i can write arbitrary text directly on my desktop wallpaper? i'm looking for some utility which i'd be able to use like 'write-to-desktop --x=25 --y=25 "Hello, world!" [20:57] keywoard: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JauntyUpgrades and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KarmicUpgrades [20:57] look_: no maybe i have to configure it? however when i restored my grub2 i saw something like xp detected... i installed grub2 into dev sda which is mbr i think so all right... [20:57] JohnSQ_: /etc/passwd and /etc/group. Anything with a pid or gid less than 1000 is typically a system account or daemon. [20:57] open walpaper in gimp [20:57] write what u want put what u want [20:57] jrib - http://pastebin.com/VLmL1837 <-- kinda got something back.. [20:57] save it as png [20:57] Not that I am aware of egor_tensin, other then editing the wallpaper [20:57] but its still saying something about unabling to resolve server.. is that normal? [20:57] Kingsy: that's correct [20:58] look_: no i'm running linux now i'm almost happy [20:58] dajhorn: Thank you. [20:58] JohnSQ_: Welcome. [20:58] Kingsy: pastebin /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname [20:58] ok [20:58] rek: ok then reboot and while its rebooting hold down the shift key if you see grub then your just fine but you will have to hold shift every time. I would just reinstall with windows first and then install Kubuntu [20:58] i think one day jrib told me his nick is a river [20:58] alice_: actually i want to write a script that would write something different every 5 seconds, for example [20:58] Hi, I was wondering if there was a way through either Compiz or X to have windows expand independently of the size of the font? When I try to maximize the terminal window, for example, I have a border of whitespace due to the fact that the window size is not a direct multiple of the font size. Is there a workaround for this? [20:58] rek: eh? :) [20:58] jrib: just that [20:59] egor_tensin: Anything is possible, but im not aware of a way to do that. [20:59] look_: every time? not to difficult [20:59] jrib - ooohh could that be cos I changed my hostname? well computer name? [20:59] /etc/hosts still contains the old one? [20:59] !hostname | Kingsy, yes [20:59] Kingsy, yes: 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.

I had to compile drivers, and I had to manually find wvdial because sudo apt-get install wvdial didn't work for some retarded reason, and now I have to type all sorts of commands just to connect like sudo modprobe martian_dev and then sudo martain_modem and then open a new terminal and run wvdial.

I realized I had a small need for windows. [21:05] psilikon, Install rcconf [21:05] lestat, i know there are some bugs/issues with ATI and GL programs - try running "glxgears" or "glxinfo" and you'll probably get segfaults as well. I have no solution (i don't touch ATI) [21:05] rek: what i would do is reinstall windows on the whole harddrive, then install Ubuntu/Kubuntu you will be just fine if you have no data on the HDD if you do have data then back some stuff up on a flash drive [21:06] lestat: try using the update-alternatives and chceck if youre using atis libGl [21:06] look_: i reinstalled xp [21:06] danboid rcconf. Does that work with 10.04? I was using sysvconfig with older version of ubuntu and I LOVED it. [21:06] jrib: I understand the 8.04 requires 198 RAM?

All I need it for is my Zune. [21:07] what does get ride os smth mean ?

[21:07] lestat, i doubt it's a 32/64bit issue - i think it's an ATI issue. perhaps bodwick can help you. [21:07] Xavierdarkness, Ubuntu user with a Zune??? [21:07] rek: i mean like a ubuntu with only 2GB of HDD space [21:07] psilikon, I use rcconf for that, both should work for server and desktop editions [21:07] Stale: if that's too much then don't use gnome and use lighter alternatives for your programs. If that's too much of a hassle, then ubuntu is not the right distro for you [21:08] danboid: yeah. Lol, that's not normal I'm assuming. [21:08] can we fix grub2 manually look_ ? [21:08] rek: there is a way but its a bit complicated if your a beginner [21:08] rek, Do update-grub2 then install-grub [21:08] jrib, my ubuntu cd tested perfect. Also, everything went fine when I actually got a menu on bootup, but for some reason, I don't generally get it. I don't know, ubuntu is silly [21:08] i'm a beginner in grub only [21:08] danboid, ok thank you. Now, if I use rcconf will it interfere with upstart?

[21:11] !away > Stale [21:11] Stale, please see my private message [21:12] Hi, I am trying to understand LVM2 partitions. I need space on my root partition and I have a 50gb LVM2 partition that I made when I installed ubuntu. Now, I want to use this space to exend my root partition. Is there a way to see if this LVM2 partition is used by anything? [21:12] hey all, in ubuntu, how do I make it so that in Places>Network I can see the windows domain [21:13] DigeratiW, You don't normally need to do anything for that. I take it your net connection/ adapter etc works otherwise [21:13] well its in a VM [21:13] that may be the issue [21:13] right [21:13] What I don't get is why would Ubuntu ignore its previous build by shutting down its update servers? Is there a site where people can still get the neccessary updates? [21:14] ? [21:14] ok so i have virtually no space left on my hdd and i cant send anything to the trash to make some space, what do? [21:14] ariqs: have you tried adding lines to a modprob file? [21:14] ariqs: or maybe /etc/modules [21:15] d3v0, apt-get clean, baobab [21:15] ChogyDan, no, I don't know what I'm doing. It's a miracle I even got on the internet in ubuntu at all. Thank god for man pages [21:15] baobab? [21:15] d3v0: use rm (bypasses trash) [21:16] So no-one else has seen fat32b drives being mounted read only? Maybe its coz its a big (250GB) drive? Don't much fancy re-formatting as FAT16 but that may be the only option [21:16] thanks [21:16] ariqs: hah! man pages, thank god they worked for you. I think for anything you have to mod_prob, I think you can just add it to /etc/modules [21:16] danboid: check dmesg [21:16] d3v0, baobab shows you where you hd space has gone. Its called 'Disk analyser' in the menu [21:17] ah k [21:17] cheers [21:17] Is anyone familiar with logical volumes? I have a LVM2 partition in /dev/sda6 but I can't access it. Its 50gb and I want to use this space to extend my root partition. Is it safe to remove this partition?

If that's too vague, tell me [21:25] FunnyLookinHat, If you are using 64bit then "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs" then try executable again. Also, you should be able to type "which flvcheck" and it should say /usr/bin (if that's the one you want to use) [21:25] skjoedt-: looks like you really don't use any LVM volumes, to make sure please type sudo lvscan [21:25] bodwick: you mean from repo ?

[21:44] Say, if I was to dd my hard drive into an image, and then decompress then dd the image back onto the drive at a later date, would it be distinguishable from a regular install? (i.e. would I be able to turn the computer in for repairs if the warranty was still "valid"?) [21:44] hey guys, what does php -q do? specifically the -q ...that flag isn't listed in 'man php' [21:44] someone kick him please [21:44] eh... angry spammers... [21:45] leave my name out of here [21:45] GodfatherofEire, yes...dd is a 1:1 copy [21:45] madmax_x, have you looked at beryl? [21:45] GodfatherofEire, also warrenties arent void because of software [21:45] RandyRKelly: it was a spam bot. just relax please [21:45] madmax_x but would the metadata give it away since it wouldnt have been used in a long time? [21:45] RandyRKelly: please follow the rules of this channel or part [21:46] I think that's what it was.... I seem to remember it had some nifty ways to manage desktops..... [21:46] GodfatherofEire, so it broke when it was within warrenty and your just getting around to send it in [21:46] well i am following i didnt do nothing [21:46] rbellamy: it's now compiz [21:46] the bot kept buzzing me [21:46] hiku, heh [21:46] Can we get back on tpic... Please? [21:47] * rbellamy can has stoopeds [21:47] Its a _support_ channel [21:47] natschil [21:47] madmax_x, no, I want to put UNR on my eee, but that'd bork the warranty, so if i have to turn it in, I would dd the current config back onto the drive. I just want to know if itd be distinguishable from the original. [21:47] rbellamy, im not lookin to cube specifically just the ease of explaining [21:47] aha [21:47] * natschil meant to search for natschil, but forgot to press ctrl+f :) [21:48] I like the idea... [21:48] )Agoycb5847 [21:48] okay, so I changed the gdm to never, and now something is stopping the network from coming up. the interface file is correct, but something isn't getting run at boot. help? [21:48] rbellamy, like treat my desktop as one moniter but display 2 sides of the cube on multi display [21:48] yeah [21:48] jrib, dope, he's gone. [21:49] rbellamy, what do i google for that? [21:49] madmax_x, I do like it... it would also scale for 4, 6, etc displays.... different polygons... [21:49] rbellamy, exactly [21:50] rbellamy, think hitting ctrl+alt+left and getting one empty monitor and everything else shifts left [21:50] wow what was that ? [21:50] you could scroll the worl [21:50] * DarkSector gets back to code [21:51] madmax_x, I can't think of it... you should try serverfault, or one of those family of sites [21:51] is there any metadata for when a partition was last modified? and would that be changed if I was to dd the disk image back onto the drive? [21:51] bodwick: sadly i cannot find how to change the resolution :( the screen is so small that the panel to change it doesn't fit on screen, and i cannot validate :( [21:51] I type in service networking start, and it comes back 'stop/waiting'. - wtf does that mean? [21:51] GodfatherofEire, who cares about metadata [21:51] !wtf | gm1959 [21:51] gm1959: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [21:52] GodfatherofEire, yes, there's always metadata, but it's gonna be dependent on the system clock [21:52] what's wrong with 'what the foolishness'? [21:52] madmax_x, just saying (not like they'd check it anyway, but you never know) if they checked it whether or not they would be able to distinguish the dd'd copy from the original copy. [21:52] gm1959: obfuscated swearing is still swearing. Please don't [21:53] GodfatherofEire, as stated previously, dd is 1 to 1 [21:53] bits don't have dna [21:53] gm1959: You know what the accepted meaning of the acronym is. Keep it clean. [21:53] what does this mean? introspection.m4 not found [21:53] I type in service networking start, and it comes back 'stop/waiting'. - what the heck does that mean? [21:53] i looked in /usr/share/aclocal and there is no introspection.m4 [21:54] ah yes got it by bruteforcing with tab+enter :P [21:54] gm1959, did you run it under sudo? [21:54] lestat just hold left alt key and drag the window so you cn validate [21:54] rbellamy - yep [21:54] GodfatherofEire, it is a backup copy...if you dd drive a to drive b they are identicle....if you dd drive a to drivea.img it is a clone...if you now power the comp off for 6months they are still identicle [21:54] gm1959, and you ran service networking stop first? [21:55] bodwick: i manage to do it with TAB, but i was not able to reduce the window size [21:55] i guess i was at the minimum [21:55] rbellamy - 'service networking stop' -> unknown instance [21:55] how do I fix introspection.m4 not being in /usr/shar/aclocal? [21:55] lestat so you've changed the resolution? [21:55] gm1959, well, there you go... now you're getting more detailed errors.... [21:56] tail -n 40 syslog to pastebin [21:56] cant, I only have console with no cut/paste, no networking [21:57] gm1959, yeah... i guess not... so do the command and look for something that looks like an error.... [21:57] did they fix the problem with twitter in pidgin yet [21:58] gm1959: pipe it to a file, USB-sneaker-net it to whatever you're IRC-ing on, and pastebin? [21:58] anyone have a solution for not finding the sound card in ubuntu? [21:58] bodwick: yes [21:58] gm1959, lemme guess, you've recently made changes to your network card/settings, and now you're trying to get the machine back on the network? [21:58] can't find amixer or alsamixer since alsactl doesn't find any soundcard [21:58] bodwick: and i get like 240 fps with fgl_glxgears [21:58] lestat great :) [21:58] rbellamy - no, this all came about with me trying to remove X11/gnome [21:58] bodwick: you rock ^^ [21:58] rbellamy - so it's trying to run dhclient [21:59] lestat, fgl_glxgear on full screen or how? what gpu ? [21:59] gm1959, omg.... yeah, that's a problem... have you tried booting to runlevel 3? [21:59] hey guys... is anyone having issues with synatic? this has been happening since release... system/preferences/synapitc..nothing ..system freeze...ctrl+alt+F1.. killall synaptic ..restart gdm... I can then get into synaptic ...it is inconsistently happenind [22:00] also I have already tried removing /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin and srcpkgcache.bin to no avail [22:00] lol you can kick someone by typing "\quit " [22:00] coz_: The entire GUI freezes, and does killing synaptic not unfreeze the GUI? [22:00] \msg [22:00] lol you can kick someone by typing "/quit " [22:00] deathanatos, yes but I have to move into text console to kill synaptic I cant open terminal in gnome [22:00] madmax_x: no [22:00] bodwick: what do you mean on full screen ? my gpu is hd5770 [22:00] madmax_x: only ops can kick [22:01] ah [22:01] think i got you [22:01] ok so w/ hostname .. lest say my domain for this box is bob.com [22:01] what do i put in /etc/hostname ? bob? or bob.com ? [22:01] rbellamy - inittab doesnt exist, where is default runlevel set? === DaZ^ is now known as DaZ [22:01] acidjazz: just type hostname "bob" to set the hostname [22:01] gm1959, that's a good question [22:02] hiku: i want it permanent though [22:02] hiku trollin [22:02] lestat great, everything works now? [22:02] gm1959, /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf [22:02] !hostname | acidjazz [22:02] acidjazz: 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. [22:02] gm1959, aunty google is my friend. [22:02] ye arww i know that [22:03] gm1959: try this - http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/runlevel.8.html [22:03] madmax_x: Please don't try to trick users into /quit-ing. [22:03] my hostname isnt in /etc/hosts btw at all [22:03] acidjazz: it doesn't need to be [22:03] bodwick: yes just have to worry about ATI Stream now :) [22:03] who can help me [22:03] my /etc/hosts is just 127.0.0.1 localhost [22:03] bodwick: full screen i get 124FPS [22:03] and ::1 localhost :-) === Sup|Lobby is now known as Sup|Away [22:04] acidjazz: yes, and that is fine. what are you trying to achive? [22:04] lestat ok :) [22:04] what about my ssh_host_dsa_key.pub ? [22:04] bodwick: well i maximise the window in fact, is there a way to test it really with full screen ? [22:04] How come when I extend my logical volume I don't get more free space in root partition which is linked to the volume? I ran "lvextend -L+9G /dev/vg_skjoedt/lv_root" successfully to get 9gb extra space but when I look in my home dir for instance I still have only 5gb space free. [22:04] !ask > acidjazz [22:04] hiku i just want to permanently legitly change the hostnaem of this box [22:04] acidjazz, please see my private message [22:04] acidjazz: you can do that with the command hostname [22:04] i never asked to ask a question.. [22:05] rc-sysinit in init, there's an env var [22:05] how come then when you do a hostname the bash prompt that reflects the hostname doestn change? [22:05] lestat fglrxgears on full screen is a pretty good test, and if you have compiz turned on it will reduce your fps [22:05] ah gotta reset bash [22:05] acidjazz: ask the question all on one line please so it's easier for the people that can help read and understand what you are asking. [22:05] acidjazz, it was told to you above. /etc/hostname for after you reboot the hostname command for immediate use. [22:05] gm1959, dude, man up and read, well, the.... man page on runlevel like hiku suggested [22:06] could someone help me, what's the command for updating my lucid to the new maverick beta (netbook remix) [22:06] lestat so if you would like to play some 3d games or sth just use fusion-icon to change compiz to metacity [22:06] acidjazz, because the environment was read at the start of the bash session? [22:06] rbellamy - I did. I was just informing you that there's a env var in sysinit-rc [22:06] mclamb: not sure you can do that with a beta release [22:06] heh [22:06] gm1959: nice find gm1959 [22:06] gm1959, okay.... I thought you were asking about it... [22:06] bodwick: ah nice to know, i don't intend to play much though, it's more about gpu computing :P [22:07] hiku, maybe if I add the repositories it´ll work? [22:07] but will still be a helpful trick :) [22:07] mclamb: "gksudo update-manager -d"; #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support; Maverick is not yet released, when it breaks your system you get to keep both pieces. [22:07] lestat computing what? unfortunately boinc doesnt support gpu computing on linux :( [22:07] mclamb: I would highly suggest not doing that for fear of killing your current install. [22:08] rbellamy - yes, the runlevel fixed it [22:08] mclamb: I would suggest running it in vbox [22:08] rww: well put =) [22:08] Is anyone familiar with logical volumes LVM2? I need some help extending my / partition. I have successfully extended the "/dev/vg_skjoedt/lv_root" by 40gb but I still only have 5gb free space somehow. [22:08] bodwick: i don't know about boinc, but from what i read it's easy to make a program work with ATI Stream [22:08] gm1959, nice... [22:09] hiku, rww, it's a spare computer so i´ll give it a try [22:09] lestat true :) [22:10] is there a way to have virtual desktop 1 on screen 1 adn vdesktop2 on screen2...then when i ctrl+alt+left ....put vdesktop2 on screen 1 and vdesktop3 on screen 2? [22:10] skjoedt-, you've gotta extend the ext3/4 partition as well.... [22:10] mclamb: ok... have fun [22:10] sugoi [22:11] rbellamy: Ah, so I was not far away. I need to umount in order to do that, right? Mabye from a liveDisk [22:11] madmax_x: try #compiz-dev [22:11] thnx [22:12] skjoedt-, I don't think you need to unmount anymore, if memory serves [22:12] rbellamy - what config var tells it to run dhcp/client? I have network/interfaces set, but its not using it === kthomas_vh_ is now known as kthomas [22:12] what is text/html decoder that totem movie player asks me to download? [22:12] rbellamy: Do you recall the commands for extending partitions, so I know what to search for? [22:14] skjoedt-, resize2fs [22:14] rbellamy: Ok I will look into it. Thanks [22:14] how and where do i download a text/html decoder? [22:15] at www.google.com/chrome [22:15] or www.firefox.com [22:15] rbellamy: Does it work on ext4? [22:15] gm1959, you're on your own at this point... I would do some research on "headless" ubuntu [22:15] or www.opera.com [22:15] lundh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:15] skjoedt-, yeppers [22:16] how and where do i download a text/html decoder? [22:17] o_0 [22:17] umm [22:17] !browser [22:17] Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) [22:17] ? [22:17] how do i chmod only the files in a folder and sub folder and not the folders? [22:17] ckdoty01: use find [22:17] ckdoty01, find . -type f | chmod u+x [22:17] ckdoty01, try a find -exec that specifies only files [22:18] hrmm. i think I understand [22:18] ckdoty01: find directorytosearchin -type f -exec chmod permissionshere '{}' \; [22:18] find . -type f -exec chmod {}\ [22:19] totem movie player ask me to download a text/html decoder. Where and how do i? [22:19] and thank you all [22:19] michaelxq, have you checked on the totem website for dependencies? [22:19] ckdoty01, though the -exec might have a little trouble if there are spaces in any file names. then you might want to try xargs. [22:20] rbellamy, not really. i'll check it and get back to you [22:20] there are no spaces [22:20] I've mounted my old Linux (Slackware) computer's home directory to my ubuntu box via sshfs. But filenames with unusual characters (e.g. ÅÄÖ) aren't interpreted/converted in the file browser. Can I fix this somehow? [22:20] michaelxq: Why would totem need to decode html? [22:20] michaelxq: What are you trying to open? [22:21] michaelxq: A playlist? [22:21] Cyberkilla, trying youtube plugin and shows me that [22:21] lidbjork, that sounds like an encoding issue... the slackware box was using a different system-level encoding... [22:22] <_Neytiri_> I was wondering if i can get some help on how to format a drive to etx4 fromteh command line on a 10.4.1 system [22:22] rbellamy: Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured too. But I couldn't find any options to change/convert encoding in the browser. Maybe it's not possible. [22:22] michaelxq: Looks like a lot of people are having that problem. I've never came across it myself, but only before I've never tried the youtube plug-in. [22:23] michaelxq: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-96021.html [22:23] Cyberkilla, do you know any player that plays wma format? [22:24] lidbjork, you might try something like: convmv [22:24] michaelxq: Further down the page, it tells you to install some packages you're missing. Perhaps that will resolve the issue for you too. [22:24] can anyone tell me what causes NetworkManager to think that dhclient needs to start? I have the network/interfaces file in place and its right... but something's starting dhclient [22:24] Cyberkilla, thank you in advance! [22:24] michaelxq: WMA files play fine in Totem for me, but NOT WMA Lossless :( The odds are you don't have WMA lossless files though. [22:24] sorry to ask but the chmod for files only what do i cahnge to only do the folders? [22:25] _Neytiri_, "sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX#" where X and # are the drive and partition you want respectively [22:25] <_Neytiri_> ty [22:26] Guys, I just tried 10.04 and when I try to install something off the DVD, like OpenJDK, I get an error message saying that it can't install all of its files even when it says it doesn't need to go online to install the files ("0 files online"). [22:27] THen I went to "Software Sources" and attempted to add a CD source (ie. the Ubuntu DVD) and it doens't succeed; it can't fetch some files. [22:28] bobbyyu, besides Language pack i don't think the DVD contains many more packages vs the regular CD... i always just use the internet and uncheck cd/dvds - hopefully you'll have better luck. You also may be interested in apton-cd or similar. Best of luck [22:28] What's "apton-cd"? [22:28] bobbyyu, that's not quite the correct name [22:29] Sorry. [22:29] !aptoncd [22:29] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [22:29] Thank you, I guess. [22:30] ckdoty01: you would also use chmod to change permissions on folders [22:30] bobbyyu, i didn't really help with your origional problem ;) sorry i have no idea [22:30] ckdoty01: or chown to change user/group ownership [22:30] Well, you tried. [22:30] I am guessing the -f of the find command is for files. what would i use for folders [22:30] bobbyyu, can you just use the internet instead of the dvd? [22:31] ckdoty01: man find [22:31] Well, I could , but I would like it all on CD, because I have a bad connection. [22:31] that was my next place. thanks though [22:31] It caps too. :( [22:31] And I just like the idea of having something on my fingertips. [22:32] ckdoty01: should be: find /yourpath -t d -name -ls [22:32] OK. I"ll go elsewhere. Thanks in advance. [22:32] dang you . I was just about to find that on my own :) honestly though thank you. [22:32] ckdoty01: lol sorry bro. [22:33] oh dont worry. I was joking. I really apriciate it [22:33] ckdoty01: your welcome! [22:34] ckdoty01: also, this site has some great examples of how to use find. http://content.hccfl.edu/pollock/unix/findcmd.htm [22:34] oh nice. [22:37] hello, which application reports the system information upon loggin in the termianl? [22:37] sjm: Thanks, I've installed convmv now. I guess I'll just copy the files and try to convert their encoding. Maybe I'll have to convert them before I copy. [22:37] Mahjongg: like cpu load uptime etc etc.? hit w [22:39] hiku, thanks but I guess I was asking about lansdscape-common [22:39] Mahjongg: oh ok [22:40] hi how can i mount my drives in kubuntu? [22:40] with a gui [22:40] connect them [22:40] they auto mount [22:40] i don't see them [22:40] where [22:40] hard drives [22:40] lsusb [22:41] no o hdd [22:41] ls usb [22:41] lspci [22:41] no [22:41] they may be there [22:41] no [22:41] they should be in media [22:42] i think compiz crashed is there a way to restart it without restarting ubuntu [22:42] digitalfiz: try 'compiz --replace' === aperson is now known as APERSON [22:43] digitalfiz: sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects [22:43] VCoolio, that worked [22:43] ty [22:43] can i go ahead and make a page on the wiki for my installfest? [22:43] .....wrong ubuntu chat [22:43] VCoolio, do you know where i would look to see why it crashed [22:44] can anyone please tell me what the ubuntu version of 'if-up eth0' might be? I can't find the right stuff in the docs to help me. [22:44] i've got software I need to install that requires glibc 2.8 or higher, XFree86-4.7 or higher, and libstdc++5. how can i get those softwares? [22:44] digitalfiz: some log, /var/log/something, maybe xorg.log, don't know if compiz keeps its own [22:45] digitalfiz: If you had crash handler plugin enabled (provided by compiz-fusion-plugins-extra), the default is to store the bt in /tmp [22:46] after installing drbd and not really anything else, i tried rebooting, and i get this: udevd-work: error opening ATTR{/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000 some other stuff/net/eth1/dev_id} for writing: permission denied [22:46] any ideas on how to resolve that? [22:47] i've got software I need to install that requires glibc 2.8 or higher, XFree86-4.7 or higher, and libstdc++5. how can i get those prereqs, as glibc 2.8 isnt in the repos (or is it)? [22:47] mshadle: hm. not really, but you might check whether you have some crufty stuff in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [22:47] none of that should have changed :/ [22:48] can i disable udevd from running? or remove the file and let it rebuild it? [22:48] Is there a way to check in which encoding a file's name is? (E.g. utf-8) [22:48] EvilPhoenix: glibc will be there. you should have everything you need. Just go ahead and compile [22:48] it does it for eth1 and eth0 [22:48] lidbjork: well. that's a science of it's own. "file" can give it a try. But generally speaking: no. [22:48] yeh file usually tells me if a file is unicode or utf8 ascii [22:48] Muelli: it needs that specific version of libstdc++5... is that in the repos and comes preinstalled? It isnt a .deb that installs, its a .bin [22:48] lidbjork: of course it works if the file tells you, i.e. a proper XML document. [22:48] and yes the software is trusted [22:49] EvilPhoenix: just go ahead and compile. Come back when you run into issues. [22:50] Muelli: I'm actually talking about the file name itself, not the file's contents. === the_rogue_smiler is now known as The_annoying_ora [22:50] lidbjork: even worse. You can only try to decode and guess whether it makes sense. === The_annoying_ora is now known as annoying_orange [22:51] lidbjork: filenames are not restricted to any encoding and can thus be arbitrary bytes. Nothing saves which enconding a filename is supposed to be. You can only hope that everbody uses utf-8. [22:51] how do I use a blank password for sudo? [22:51] ginbuntu: why? [22:51] ginbuntu: you don't. You put yourself in to /etc/sudoers with NOPASSWD. [22:52] Muelli: Ok. I have some files on a Slackware 12.2 ext2 system, and when I mount it on ubuntu, some characters are broken. What I need to now to encode to utf-8 is what encoding is used on the Slack system. [22:53] bleh the software was built around debian 4... [22:53] jrib, cause I hate typing in my password every day [22:53] Muelli: where should I install it to (what path)? [22:53] Muelli: default is some /opt/ path [22:53] ginbuntu: « man sudoers » then, look for the option Muelli spoke of [22:53] EvilPhoenix: install what? self compiled software? Put it in /opt/$USERNAME or so.. [22:53] Muelli: commercial software :/ [22:54] lidbjork: *shrug* I'd write a python script that tries to decode a filename in multiple ways [22:54] does it need root to write to there, though? [22:54] hello [22:54] EvilPhoenix: If I were you, I'd create /opt/$USERNAME with root, then chown it to your user. Then you don't need priviledges to write to it. [22:54] I got a dell inspirion and ubuntu can't detect the wireless network [22:54] wired network works fine [22:55] I'm using ubuntu 10.0.4 LT [22:55] Triela: checked System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers? [22:55] Triela: yeah, I think they use the broadcom chipset. You need to isntall a driver. bc43 or so. [22:55] or bcd43 [22:56] ah, kindly point to a guide where I can install it? [22:56] Triela: did you check what I said? [22:56] Muell: Ok, thanks for the help, I gotta disconnect to try to mount that crap again.

[22:57] Good evening. Have a problem with the new kernel it seems on 10.04. I have lost my sound upon reboot and the possiblity to shutdown properly from the login screen and also from the desktop I can not shutdown. Restart does not work. My sound card does not work at all. Sometimes when I boot up it works out but 9/10 times it keeps acting up like I described. Can someone give me some help on how to fix this issue? [22:58] Triela: try the b4-cutter, imho they work better [22:58] :D === sjm is now known as _sjm_ [22:58] hiku: okay how would I do that? :) [22:59] hi [22:59] Triela: open System>Administration>Hardware Drivers app === _sjm_ is now known as sjm_ [22:59] can i get help for lirc here?

[23:00] wtf [23:00] Triela: your welcome [23:00] So nobody knows how to help me on that issue? [23:00] Craig`, have you tried lspci? [23:00] how do i see what users are in the apache users group? [23:00] hiku: do I need to reboot the system for the drivers to work? [23:00] !helpme | DrGrov [23:00] DrGrov: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [23:01] Craig`, better yet, lspci | grep Ethernet [23:01] clayd: type less /etc/groups [23:01] hello. I have a problem with plymouth [23:01] thanks. [23:02] DrGrov, you should be able to select a different kernel from the grub menu? [23:02] someone typed my name? o.o [23:02] I tried to install a new one (plymouth) and when running this command I got "Permissions denied" on every line and now my plymouth is garbage and cannot fix it... any help? [23:02] seidos: No I can not select. It will automatically reboot with the one it has. I have just followed Update Manager on the suggestions. [23:02] sorry about that. how do i see what users are in the apache users group. [23:03] what ? [23:03] who called me? [23:03] snow_usa: probably the spam we've been getting [23:03] was a spam [23:04] DrGrov, there must be a way to select an older kernel in grub2. i'm just not sure of the method. if you give me a second, i can try in a vm. [23:04] clayd: what do you mean by "apache users group"? [23:04] clayd: grep apache /etc/group [23:04] seidos: No problem, that is okay. It seems like it is just patches to the current kernel... I have not installed any kernel by myself, just followed every Update Manager suggestion what I should install.. [23:04] thank Muelli. and jrid i worded that very poorly sorry [23:05] clayd: unless you created a group named "apache" yourself, that command is not what you want [23:05] DrGrov, actually, it will take me awhile. we should google, it will probably be more expedient. [23:06] seidos: Sure thing. No hurries. I am really getting a bit frustrated with the issues I have. [23:07] ahh. ok I am installing sugar crm and i think the files group membership is not to a group that the apache user belongs to I hope that makes sense [23:07] DrGrov, i feel you. but i think the understanding is worth the headache. [23:07] <_Neytiri_> how do i take 3 identical drives and make a software raid out of them and mount them to my file system in 10.2 [23:07] <_Neytiri_> 10.4* [23:08] seidos: Yes, but it is so irritating when it just happened last night and it interrupts my working... [23:09] DrGrov, i feel you there too. but still, i think ubuntu is worth the effort [23:09] DrGrov: I have been tinkering with linux for decades, and have come to the conclusion that it will be a constant 'tinkering' to keep it all running. Wish I could just turn off the updates at some point and freeze the OS [23:09] is the ubuntu startup disk creator utility only capable of writing ubuntu iso's to usb sticks? [23:10] seidos: It has worked out well thus far but now it is getting too much since it interferes very much with my work things. [23:11] th0r: you could just stop updates, or use the LTS versions to minimise large chnage [23:11] *changes [23:11] DrGrov, well, if we get this fixed for you, you might want to consider not upgrading unless absolutely necessary. i'm still searching for an answer for you [23:12] seidos: Thanks, I kind of will not upgrade anything with kernel if this issue gets fixed. [23:12] aeon-ltd: I do use the lts, but if I turn off the updates I can pretty much forget about ever installing anything from the repos again...would need to update 200 files every time I wanted a new app [23:12] aeon-ltd: would love a distro that froze the release and the repo and left it all online for about five years [23:13] Hi there - how can i fully disable login windows for gnome ob ubuntu 10.04 ? [23:14] DrGrov, well, the issue *will* get fixed as long as you want to fix it. you can always install ubuntu again from live cd.. [23:14] sometimes after reboot, it does not log ins automaticly [23:14] but i am building plug and play media player on ubuntu [23:14] seidos: Sure I could install it but that will take way much time for me at the moment... Argh [23:14] so i really have to disable it [23:14] th0r: yeah, i guess - but i'm kinda the opposite, i like updates so i use a rolling release distro, so updates are very small but frequent; usually 30-40mb to download except kernel updates [23:15] by default no input devices attached to PC, so there will be no way, how to click log in :) [23:15] hi does anyone know how to package a deb file? can i just tar.gz it and rename it to a deb? [23:15] DrGrov, i am currently trying to install 10.04 in a vm so i can see if grub has a kernel selection option for you [23:15] seidos: That sounds great, thanks [23:15] mrandrzejak: check uout checkinstall [23:15] mrandrzejak: it is tool for generating .deb files after compiling [23:16] i have some issues with checkinstall using it on amd64 [23:16] but in real - works great [23:16] so this will create the deb? [23:16] mrandrzejak: aha - thats the job [23:16] how do you create a shortcut to a file on the Desktop? [23:17] DrGrov, can you log into a terminal? when does the system startup fail? [23:17] ginbuntu: CLI or GUI ? [23:17] I just installed the wireless driver but now when I click on network manager, under "wireless network" it says "wireless is diable" [23:17] how do I enable it? [23:17] wieshka, GUI ofcourse [23:17] seidos: Can I return with these things later on in 12 hours or so? I am sleeping every 2 minutes on the couch. [23:18] thanks wieshka [23:18] it must be a command line program [23:18] DrGrov, in 12 hours it will be 3am. someone else will have to help you then, i should be asleep. [23:18] ginbuntu: press on file what you want to link as shortcut and you will see option - make link [23:18] <_Neytiri_> how do i take 3 identical drives and make a software raid out of them in 10.4.1 [23:18] Hi everyone. I apologize for this question, but can someone tell me the most lightweight option for running linux inside a USB drive? I'd like it to be persistent and keep all my settings, etc. [23:18] seidos: Okay, later on then perhaps. Finnish times are a bit different LOL [23:19] _Neytiri_: use mdadm [23:19] mrandrzejak: yeah - it is CLI, but i even supouse that there should be some GUI also (i use basicly ubuntu-server or debian, so hard to say about GUI) [23:19] DrGrov, good luck [23:19] Oh, I'd also like it to run inside windows. [23:19] seidos: Thanks [23:19] _Neytiri_: try this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408461 [23:19] thx wieshka [23:19] StevenX: either lxde or xfce would probably work [23:19] <_Neytiri_> ty [23:20] _Neytiri_: np === Centurion210 is now known as C210|away [23:20] I just installed the wireless driver but now when I click on network manager, under "wireless network" it says "wireless is diable". How do i enable it? === ganderson is now known as ganderson-afk === annoying_orange is now known as The_Rogue_smiler [23:21] hi ubuntu, how do i get pidgin's icon to show up in the status bar in 10.04 [23:22] !away > ganderson-afk [23:22] ganderson-afk, please see my private message [23:22] nostriluu: it should just show up in the notification area when launched, but if not it should be in pidgin's prefs [23:22] How should I go about mirroring a single directory across two drives? I don't want a complicated RAID setup, just a little extra safety for a single directory [23:22] !away | seidos [23:22] seidos, please see my private message [23:22] logankoester: i suggest rsync or rdiffbackup [23:22] Maybe just a quick script / cronjob to make a copy [23:22] logankoester, a symlink? [23:22] thanks, I'll check that out [23:22] a symlink? lol [23:22] Muelli: fff, the software wont run on libstdc++ 6, it needs version 5. know where I can get it? [23:23] logankoester: check out rsync or duplicity - one of them will be perfect for you [23:23] great [23:23] thanks guys [23:23] logankoester, A hard symlink keeps a live copy of the data at all times. [23:23] logankoester: rsync is great for keeping two folders in sync [23:23] edbian: hardlinks don't work across drives [23:23] how come my windows detect wireless networks but my ubuntu laptop doesnt? [23:23] or partitions, in fact [23:23] edbian: and you can't hard link directories [23:23] jrib, rww Thanks :) [23:23] heh EvilPhoenix. It comes with gcc IIRC. So try to get an acient GCC. [23:24] Triela: did you restart since installing the sta driver? [23:24] aeon-ltd, thanks but i don't see it anywhere, i think it disappeared in the new Indicator Applet black redesign [23:24] Hello. [23:24] brrr, how can i disable showing up login during bootup for 100% to be sure ? [23:24] it sometimes still shows up after bootup [23:24] Does anyone know of any map software for Ubuntu which looks decent like google maps? (as decent as) [23:24] Muelli: heh, not in the repos [23:25] damn [23:25] Tetracomm, Just use google maps? [23:25] Tetracomm: google maps [23:25] Tetracomm: - eem - google maps ? :) [23:25] Tetracomm, Do you want it offline or something? [23:25] Tetracomm: google earth works well on ubuntu [23:25] maybe i'll load up debian 4 in a virtual environment, the program is known to work on debian 4 [23:25] No, there is a licensing issue with google maps. [23:25] aeon-ltd, it shows up under hte messaging envelope, which i do not want, i want one click to get to the list, not two [23:25] Tetracomm: what licensing issue? [23:25] I can't bother to explain, but I need something other than google maps. [23:25] EvilPhoenix: just go and download\install an older gcc in your /opt/$USERNAME and hope to hit the correct C++ runtime libs. [23:26] Tetracomm: ask a better question... [23:26] EvilPhoenix: you should just manually compile needed version of package [23:26] http://www.openstreetmap.org/ [23:26] Tetracomm: there is libchamplain and programs based on it. [23:26] Tetracomm, openstreetmap.org [23:26] wieshka: no crap. i'm too lazy to do it now [23:26] marble? [23:26] nostriluu: just check in pidgin's prefs, in interface make sure 'show in system tray' is always [23:26] EvilPhoenix: gcc should be straight forward. [23:27] EvilPhoenix: svn/git/wget -> ./configure -> make -> make install - give me a reason to be lazy ? :) [23:27] hmm i got that.. but can't rid of the unused messaging icon now without it wiping out other stuff [23:27] wieshka: too lazy to get the source, too lazy to find it... [23:27] i'll fix it tomorrow [23:27] (aeon-ltd) [23:27] i'm tired [23:28] nostriluu: well the nofication bar was designed for use with empathy, not sure how to do a work-around though [23:29] aeon-ltd i know but i can't use empathy (need otr since i work with human rights orgs) [23:29] it's a really one track choice spomeone made [23:29] nostriluu: Tools/Preferences/Show System Tray Icon - Always, then blacklist the pidgin indicator if it bothers you [23:30] trism, i want the pidgin indicator, i do not want the messaging envelope [23:30] i do not use empathy or evolution [23:30] nostriluu: system tray is the notification area, which is what you are asking for, the envelope is the indicator applet [23:31] trism, i want the pidgin indicator as its own thing so the list is one click away (not a click, scroll, click). i want volume and bluetooth. i do not want the envelope [23:32] nostriluu: then as I said, set the option in the pidgin preferences for the notification area, if you want to get rid of the envelope, but keep the volume app, uninstall indicator-messages, but that is a separate issue [23:33] trism, thanks ! uninstalling indicator-messages did the trick [23:35] I have Lucid on a laptop. When I type, the mouse cursor stops moving and then snaps into place 2-3 seconds after I stop typing. In the Mouse Preferences, I've unchecked "Disable touchpad while typing", is there another place to look to turn this off so I can mouse while typing? [23:35] I am trying out Saga-gis. [23:35] Ty. === Hlao-ru is now known as CR0W [23:36] messed up an upgrade. hd has / and /usr partitions, i need to chroot from live cd to / on hd and then mount other partition to /usr so I can use apt. I can't see /dev/sda anything once I chroot so I can't mount it, and if I mount it before chroot, the directory ends up empty. any ideas? [23:38] any experience with wicd instead of default network manager ? [23:38] Help! After using gparted to swap-off and delete an unused partition my entire hdd is now gone after a reboot :S. There is littererly no device at all in gparted [23:38] is there someway of verifying that an installed pckg is run in 64bit mode? some terminal thing? [23:39] skjoedt, What does sudo fdisk -l show you? [23:39] skjoedt, Did you reboot into the system or into live CD? [23:39] almoxarife: if you installed a package on a 64-bit system, it will be the 64-bit executables [23:39] almoxarife: there is no "mode" for 32 or 64 bit programs [23:39] skjoedt, dude... how did you get there from resize2fs? [23:40] edbian: Im on live CD. Nothing happens with that command. Goes back to $ [23:40] skjoedt: There is no device at all or no partitions? [23:40] undecim: No device :S [23:40] rbellamy: Dont ask :) [23:40] skjoedt, That's bad. Are you sure the drive is working at all? [23:40] okay, your data may be alright then... Have you tried booting from the drive or is the only thing you have to tell you about the drive gparted? [23:41] edbian: Well, dont see why it suddely shouldn't [23:41] undecim: you mean it wouldn't auto default to 32bit install if 64bit was not avail? very confusing [23:41] * rbellamy hands skjoedt a bucket of flowers. [23:41] good luck [23:41] undecim: 64bit pckg [23:41] almoxarife: If you installed 64-bit ubuntu, you will be installing 64-bit packages [23:41] skjoedt, try sudo lshw -C disk [23:41] undecim: Booting from drive result in boot manager (forgot what it is called) says no partition found. [23:42] undecim: and I did install 64bit ubuntu [23:42] Then all packages you install will be 64-bit, unless you specifically force a 32-bit app to install [23:42] rbellamy: Remember, I'm on live CD. It brings up some info on CD-rom [23:42] skjoedt, grub [23:43] skjoedt: Is that hard drive the one grub is installed to or do you have other drives in the same computer? [23:43] skjoedt, yeah, but the LiveCD should iterate the available hardware... [23:43] undecim: I guess that was what I wanted to know, in all cases the 32bit must be forced? === LJL is now known as Guest76375 [23:43] edbian: Grub yes. I was trying to install the new Ubuntu on a free 100gb partition. Afterwards I went into live CD to unmount and delete the old ubuntu partitions. After a reboot everything was missing === Guest58787 is now known as LjL [23:43] hey what do you guys use for os level virtualisation ? [23:43] undecim: It is the same Grub is installed to. So there must be some signal [23:43] any idea ? [23:44] rbellamy: I see [23:44] skjoedt, Even if the hdd was completely unallocated it would be listed in fdisk -l and gparted. That's what I can't figure out. I suspect the drive is broken. [23:44] as openVZ was the choice in ubuntu 8.04 what is now used in ubuntu 10.04 [23:44] Madwill, um... virtualbox, kvm/qemu, depends on the use case... [23:44] skjoedt, what edbian said.... [23:45] edbian: Hmm. I used the swap-off function in gparted to be able to delete a partition. Is that somehow dangerous? [23:45] ebarch: skjoedt or a bad cable [23:45] hiku: internal [23:45] skjoedt, That is very not dangerous [23:45] almoxarife: Yes, in order to isntall 32-bit packages onto a 64-bit Ubuntu, you would need to either edit the package or use the command line to force the architecture [23:45] skjoedt, everything in a partition utility is dangerous [23:45] I managed to create the current vlc 64bit source to deb, and installed it, how do I share it? [23:45] where i can i get ubuntu 9 iso [23:46] undecim: thnks [23:46] (where can i get the ubuntu 9 iso) [23:46] skjoedt, I maintain that there is no danger in turning your swap off. [23:46] skjoedt: So you said "sudo fdisk -l" does nothing? This sounds like a hard drive failure that happened to coincide with your GParted operations. [23:46] skjoedt, When you reboot the swap is reactivated anyway. [23:46] edbian, rbellamy: Thats all I did :-/ [23:46] skjoedt: ide or sata cable could be bad, do you have a spare? [23:47] this is kind of off topic, but its just a quick question. does copper oxidization conduct electricity? [23:47] CkhiKuzad, You mean rust? [23:47] hiku: Don't think it is physical problem. Its internal, (laptop). Can't be a coincidence [23:47] no, rust is iron oxide. i mean copper oxide. [23:47] undecim: Seems logical, but terrible... :S [23:47] skjoedt: hmm, and your bios sees the drive just fine? [23:47] CkhiKuzad, there are no perfect insulators, as far as I know.... [23:48] CkhiKuzad: You're in #ubuntu-offtopic as well. Just ask there :\ [23:48] hiku: Haven't checked. I went for answers straight away. (need to reinstall irc etc after reboot so I needed some info) === oldfart is now known as rkshields [23:48] skjoedt: It has to be a physical problem. Maybe the final result (i.e. the hard drive becoming unusable) was triggered by what you did in GParted, but it wasn't the root cause. [23:48] skjoedt: gotcha. double check that the bios can see the drive. also try booting into a live cd to double verify [23:49] :( [23:49] undecim: Im lost. Grub still loads with an error at startup, but entire device is gone on liveCD. [23:49] NO HOMELAND WITHOUT YOU FUHRER LOREZ! ALL HAIL THE AUTISTIC LORD OF FREENODE!!

[23:52] undecim: Nothing under sd* [23:52] acidjazz, apt-get upgrade [23:52] rww: from what i see it's waiting the fourth line from the same person [23:52] maybe i'm wrong though [23:52] lestat: No, that's just how much gets through before the bots take action. [23:53] skjoedt: I copy of the output of "sudo lshw" might be helpful as well. It will give the most detailed description of your hardware [23:53] Tetracomm: you also need wx-common, because it is complaining about wx-config === voronika is now known as voronado [23:53] ok, who is using vor nicks... i am every vor. [23:53] acidjazz: apt-get upgrade [23:53] trism: I installed wx-common already. [23:53] hahah yea, acidjazz chats like an apt-get kinda guy [23:54] rww: ah i see [23:54] undecim: Its more than I can scroll up in terminal. Is there a way to print output? [23:54] Tetracomm: yeah sorry, that was just the manpage for wx-config, I don't see a binary, one sec [23:54] skjoedt: "sudo lshw > lshw.out" [23:54] skjoedt: then it will show up in lshw.out [23:54] skjoedt: lshw > /tmp/lshw.out [23:54] iwonder if mr hands puts himself in mrpocketz [23:54] I assume I could retrieve a txt file from the web with 'wget', the file gets updated aprox monthly on the web site, is it possible to check for updated versions of the same file with 'wget' or any other utility? [23:55] !ot > voronado [23:55] voronado, please see my private message [23:55] skjoedt: Just copy the contents of that file to pastebin and post the link here [23:55] !pastebinit > skjoedt [23:55] skjoedt, please see my private message [23:55] Tetracomm: how about libwxbase2.8-dev [23:56] wait! you pm'd skjoedt too? i feel so cheap :/ [23:56] voronado: do you have a support question? [23:56] undecim, hiku: Here it is: http://pastebin.com/fv3SvgRY [23:57] skjoedt: Well, I notice that lshw doesn't show a "storage" section... [23:58] trism: Ok, installing that now. [23:58] undecim: Look at it for a minute while I reboot. I'll get back in 5 minutes. [23:58] undecim: To check bios settings etc. [23:59] Ahh... I see the IDE controller now... that's a good sign.
