[00:00] hello [00:00] wea0: have you installed other some themes? [00:01] no [00:01] erUSUL: I'm still working on augmenting the crontab. Just wanted to thank you for the advice you've already given. [00:02] stercor: no problem [00:02] filo1234: After the upgrade I just got only console messages during bootup. Nothing else had changed on the system. [00:02] does any one know how to configure the quickplay botton? [00:02] wea0: sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so give some choise? [00:02] Guest48841, quickplay? [00:03] is there anyway i can disable gnome? I want my system to start as a vanilla X server, with a black background? I want to start a slideshow application and dont want to run anything else, dont want popups or other "updates available" type messages ever coming up [00:03] erUSUL: My goal is to hit a site for a file once a day (it permits up to 3 accesses a day), download the file, and give it a time-related extension. [00:03] yes, quickplay botton, is the botton that has the hp notebooks [00:03] !nox | jsidhu [00:03] jsidhu: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [00:03] hi [00:04] yeah, then im left with figuring out how to auto login from the console [00:04] stercor: wget -O /path/to/filename-$(date) url_here [00:04] jsidhu: yeah, just don't load gdm at boot, or get gdm to just start x. but just on the side - kinda a waste don't you think?, if you can run gnome yet you just want a photo viewer [00:04] stercor: date has many format parameters [00:05] I have no networking in Ubuntu Studio. Anyone know what might cause that? [00:05] so apparently people in the apache channel think ubuntu is for n00bs that cant install debian. wut. [00:05] Nach0z, they might be correct ;) [00:05] how can i tell gdb to just start x? [00:05] erUSUL: k [00:05] hi what is the alternative to daemon tools? [00:05] the quickplay botton opens a multimedia aplication [00:05] in linux [00:05] gdm* [00:05] in ubuntu sorry [00:06] crohakon: i wouldn't know, i havent used debian. [00:06] jsidhu: not sure what X's default window manager is called but it should be a choice, if not just log into cli/tty1 then just startx with no xinitrc file [00:06] dont really want/need a window manager [00:06] thats allright, thanks for the help, i'll look into xsession [00:06] erUSUL: Dangit! I added a line to the crontab and now it's stopped working, even when I removed the line. [00:07] I have two network adapters and both function in windows but neither work in my new Ubuntu install [00:07] Nach0z: linux superiority is a waste of time, it could go on forever ubuntu < debian < arch/gentoo < bsd's < lfs < etc [00:08] hi what is the alternative to daemon tools? in ubuntu [00:08] Is this a support only for 10.04 or can I ask a 10.10 support question? [00:08] !ubuntu+2 | KillerKristin1 [00:08] KillerKristin1, #ubuntu+1 for the latter [00:08] !ubuntu+1 | KillerKristin1 [00:08] KillerKristin1: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10 - Maverick is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 [00:08] aeon-ltd: yeah. honestly, as awesome as open source is, i still think WIn7 64 bit kicks some. [00:08] *facepalms* [00:08] trolling much? [00:09] filo1234: Apparently usplash-theme-ubuntu is not installed due to unmet depends. [00:09] !offtopic [00:09] #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! [00:09] jatt, what? [00:09] hi what is the alternative to daemon tools? in ubuntu [00:09] !repeat | dri245 [00:09] dri245: 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 [00:09] dri245: gisomount [00:09] erUSUL: I mean, we're not talking rocket science here: "* * * * * /bin/ls >>home/ted/bin/cron.file" [00:09] I have a question regarding inputting sound. Under the sound preferences in Ubuntu it appears to be recognizing my AudiobBox USB interface fine, but I'm not able to get any input level reading. [00:10] erUSUL: with a tail -f cron.file [00:10] thabks th0r [00:10] dri245: you might also look into fuseiso [00:11] anyone know how to get network adapters working that don't work on a fresh install? wifi and wired networks are not working on my fresh install. plx help [00:11] wea0: dpkg -l | grep usplash [00:12] does anyone know a lightweight windowmanager (not a complete desktop environment) which has support a mac like panel (keyword: globalmenu)? [00:13] Do y'all recommending installing jack in Ubuntu or not? [00:13] newkno, sorry about that my system is freezing occasionlly because of compiz++ [00:13] Jack is pretty powerful. but I'm not really experienced. It is preinstalled with Ubuntu Studio [00:14] filo1234: ii libusplash0, rc usplash, rc usplash-theme-ubuntu [00:14] It seems package usplash can not be installed due to conflic with installed package plymouth [00:14] wea0: reinstall usplash-theme-ubuntu [00:15] mink: what kind of cards are you trying to use (lshw)? Does either show up in the network config (ifconfig)? Have you tried loading the modules for the cards (modprobe)? [00:15] wea0: wait [00:15] Where can one find a coding buddy? [00:15] mink, this is with the rt kernel? [00:16] Jantire, #ubuntu-offtopic [00:16] Jantire: aspcqa [00:16] aspca [00:16] thanks th0r [00:16] one wireless edimax card. one wired mobo Intel wired connection. both appear as disabled [00:16] wea0: retype update-alternative --config and type tab tab check for some plymouth config [00:16] neither can be turned off though [00:17] and it is the real time kernel. Ubuntu Studio [00:17] mink, tried with a regular kernel? [00:17] ifconfig only shows loopback [00:18] anyone know how to configure acpi? [00:18] mink: and ifconfig -a ? [00:18] mink, thus my question [00:18] iwconfig shows the wirless card [00:18] So, is it generally inadvisable to resize my ubuntu partition post facto? I have a 1.5tb drive and I want to resize my windows partition and then add it to my ubuntu partition. I have gparted. Is this too troublesome to do? [00:19] I originally thought it was a driver issue with the wireless card. but I enabled the motherboard wired adapter and connected it. It is detected but does not work either [00:19] I see both cards with lshw -C network [00:21] ifconfig -a shows three adapters eth0 lo and wlan0 [00:21] filo1234: OK, I think I got something, let me try. brb. [00:22] mink: sudo ifup eth0 === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [00:23] filo1234: what's that do? it says ignoring unkonwn interface eth0-eth0. [00:25] So any advice about partition resizing? The only step that I'm unsure about it is after creating my desired unallocated space, do I just resize the ubuntu part. and it will automatically resize with the unallocated space or do I need to format that space into ext4 beforehand? [00:25] replicasex: that wouldent make sence. [00:25] replicasex: just resize.. it handles it [00:26] jot down your original UUID in cse it changes [00:26] mink: have you modified /etc/network/interfaces ? [00:26] Dr_Willis, so essentially I just use gparted to resize the larger windows partition and then increasing ubuntu space should just work automatically? [00:26] replicasex: yes - I tend to let windows shrink windows partitons. it tends to be a LOT faster at the job [00:27] filo1234: nope basically an untouched fresh install of ubuntu studio [00:27] I feel a bit annoyed as I should have thought to create more space. I'm going for at least 500gb or so. [00:27] Dr_Willis, yeah, I'm a bit worried that ubuntu will explode windows if I use gparted on it. [00:28] replicasex: when in doubt.. backup impiorntant stuff. [00:28] use windows to shrink windows... thats proberly the 'safest' way to do it if you are worried [00:28] mink: so i think that some modules doesn't prensent on rt kernel, try with a generic normal kernel or look wich modules needs your eth interface [00:28] Dr_Willis, of course, of course I always backup stuff before any major change. [00:28] Now i have to remember how to do that in windows. Hmm. [00:29] !acpi [00:30] filo1234: thanks [00:32] filo1234: OK, I have a plymouth theme now: "There is only one alternative in link group default.plymouth: /lib/plymouth/themes/kubuntu-logo/kubuntu-logo.plymouth" [00:32] replicasex: using gparted to change the partition size where windows is installed will cause windows to not boot. If you have a windows install disk then you can change the partition size then run a repair install from the disk. [00:32] But it still didn't work. I ran update-initramfs, but I still don't get a splash screen [00:33] hi there, i want to install Age of empires on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 -- when using wine i get to the point where i create the install path, but when choosing typical or full install, it veryfies the filesystem space and tells me i do not have enough, i need 187mb - but i have 200gb free.... anybody able to help? [00:33] replicasex: It can easily be fixed with a repair install, but without the install disk then you will destroy your windows installation. [00:34] You might get lucky, but Windows doesn't like it's own partition size changed [00:34] mink Well, we don't want that do we? I should be safe if I use windows' disk management tool right? Honestly I've thought about doing a clean install with 10.04 just to resize it. [00:35] replicasex: windows won't resize it's own partition and it won't recognize Ubuntu's file system at all. [00:36] Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can help me out. When I use 4g8 on my local network to watch some traffic, then kill it, it just drops the connection, and the host it was monitoring loses its internet connection until it resets. Anyone know how I can make it exit more cleanly (Direct traffic back to the other host)? [00:37] replicasex: it is relatively safe to resize the windows partition size if you have an install disk to repair your windows install after the resize. Without that disk, you are sol [00:37] how do I change my nick once here? [00:37] I'm already registered [00:38] mink I have a grub rescue disc with the windows .mbr, would that suffice or would I need to create the install disc? [00:38] does anyone know how to pipe output from one command to a new file descriptor and into another command? [00:38] What is the command to close the disc tray? [00:39] Licuadora: eject -t ? [00:39] replicasex: I think its more than just an mbr issue for windows. I'm pretty sure you need the install disk. not an image restore type of install disk either. It has to be a true installer to have the ability to fix the issues. [00:39] shauno: It worked! THX [00:40] velociostrich: not entirely clear what you're after, but I'd take a look at 'tee'. it's the only way I know to pipe output into two different places [00:40] Is #ubuntu-unregged in place due to bot attacks or something? [00:40] mink, so I should probably just do a clean install. It's not a big deal for me to do, if I do this at all. I have around ~200gb on this partition but I'd like 500. But the windows partition is easily accessible in Ubuntu so it's not a major problem. [00:41] shauno: I'm not trying to pipe in two places; I'm trying to pipe to a new file descriptor; i.e., instead of piping standard out to standard in, I want to pipe standard out to file descriptor 3 === Nach0z is now known as sadch0z [00:41] replicasex: I'm far from an expert, But I've done it once without realizing what problems I could cause. I was able to fix it easily with my installer disk though. but it was a pain to figure out how to fix it in the first place [00:42] Kerrick: not sure, but many groups now require registration before they will let you join, not just #ubuntu... [00:42] velociostrich: so just >&3 ? [00:42] shauno: redirection confuses the heck out of me, so I don't know, but I'll try that [00:42] how can i edit a file that is read only [00:42] replicasex: good luck. I'm heading out. [00:43] hello. I need to set the baud rate when a USB-serial adapter is plugged in. I understand that I have to do this via udev, but google isn't showing me how... [00:43] Wi1d: [00:44] sorry :| tab error [00:44] currently I have a custom rule : KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*", OWNER="root", GROUP="lp" [00:44] is there a way to add a speed to this? [00:47] !info setserial [00:47] setserial (source: setserial): controls configuration of serial ports. In component main, is extra. Version 2.17-45.2 (lucid), package size 51 kB, installed size 176 kB [00:48] Leolo_3: according to http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?12,4546, you want something like stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 9600 [00:48] yes [00:48] wonder if setserial aorks for ttyUSB0 ports [00:48] setserial doesn't set baud rate. [00:48] loshki : my question si how do I get udev to run that command [00:49] Dr_Willis: I wondered that too... [00:49] Been years since i last had to mess with a serial port. I still have an old serial terminal in the garrage [00:49] Leolo_3: I've no idea. If all else fails, you can put the command into /etc/rc.local (if it works) [00:49] Normally its the program Using the serial port that handles the settings from what i recall. as part of its initilizaton [00:50] Leolo_3: what *are* you using the serial port for, btw? [00:50] connecting to a serial printer, why? [00:51] loshki : /etc/rc.local gets run before udev has the time to find the adapter [00:51] Which room for the NEXT ubuntu release? [00:51] sometux: #ubuntu+1 [00:51] sometux: #ubuntu+1 [00:51] sometux, #ubuntu+1 [00:51] sometux, #ubuntu+1 [00:51] thanks x 4 [00:51] sometux: #ubuntu+1 [00:52] can I install kde also even though I already have gnome? [00:52] be able to choose at logon or something? [00:52] cystic, kubuntu-desktop [00:52] Leolo_3: sorry, dunno. You could try asking on #udev perhaps.... [00:52] cystic: yes, install kubuntu-desktop and during login you will have the option to choose [00:52] dr_whillis : the program using the serial port is cups. cups (backends/serial) has a "feature" in that it resets the serial port to the old setting after it's finished. this causes the adapter to send the last few bytes at the wrong speed [00:53] sweet [00:53] Leolo_3: does that mean that a workaround is to stop cups, set the serial speed, then restart cups? [00:54] I am loving ubuntu... I have cairo-dock and compiz fusion, what is another good program that is useful and provides eyecandy? [00:54] loshki : no. it means to just set the baud rate before cups prints anything [00:54] s/means to just/just means to/ [00:55] cystic: you can add anything like system monitor or screenlets for widgets [00:55] cystic: system monitor like conky or anything [00:56] oh hey soreau, thanks for the tip. I will check it out, you are always helpful and full of good advice! [00:57] how to install ubuntu inside windows from the iso file? [00:57] sometux, using wubi? [00:57] sometux: install virtualbox in windows, then use it to install ubuntu [00:57] sometux: You have to mount the iso image with a mounter program [00:57] exit [00:58] I downloaded the iso image but i don't have a blank cd [00:58] sometux: Right, so mount the iso with a mounter program so it creates a virtual drive [00:58] you can mount it with poweriso [00:58] Nero has a mounter too [00:58] soreau: I don't have one [00:58] sometux: get one [00:58] How do I convert a .img to the flexible format? [00:58] you can download it [00:59] soreau: simple solution? [00:59] LetsGo67: 'the flexible format'? [00:59] sometux: Download a windows program that is capable of mounting an iso image [00:59] sometux, i believe daemon tools has a free version. It has adware in it though last I checked. [00:59] LetsGo67: an .img of what exactly? [00:59] sometux: virtual clonedrive is free and works well [00:59] sometux: read what cystic is saying, he is talking to you [01:00] fuseiso and fuseis09660 can mount many 'optical disk' image file variants. [01:00] I don't want to install any programs, so I looking for another solution [01:00] but dont expect the copy protection to work [01:01] mount cant mount then normally. have to use the fuseiso or otehr tools [01:01] sometux, you have 2 options. mount it with a program or burn it on a disk. [01:01] can one install ubuntu on an old laptop with less, than 256 mb ram? [01:01] cystic: there is 3rd one [01:01] Dr_Willis: of Windows 98 for QEMU. Soreau: (franco?) it becomes big or small depending on the files in it. QCow. [01:02] sometux, use a flash drive? [01:02] LetsGo67: try converting it to iso perhaps. I dont even recall what makes 'img' files.. [01:02] mario12, Not sure Ubuntu, but generally Linux. [01:02] cystic: you can download "wubildr" installer and make it in the same folder with the iso image [01:02] mario12, it's recommended to use ubuntu-alternative for systems with <512MB [01:02] ISTR nero supporting some .img format [01:02] LetsGo67: or do You mean its a hard drive IMAGE file ? not an optical disk image file? [01:02] mario12: you will probably be disappointed at the performance. But if you want to try, keep it light...either xubuntu or lubuntu [01:02] <^james_foo^> mario12: it did run for me with 128 some time... but i'm a patient gui [01:02] .img is a litt;e vague. :) [01:02] ^james_foo^, nice pun :) [01:03] I tried to install it from a cd, no success [01:03] sometux, well if you know how to do it why do you ask? lol [01:03] probably other distro? [01:03] Dr_Willis: qemu-img on the command line. [01:03] mario12, Try something like `DSL`, see: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/, It would be more suitable. [01:03] cystic: I've been looking on google while discussing with issue [01:03] would not need to do much, just skype, mail client and web, basic things, for an old lady [01:03] LetsGo67: I thought qemu used 'raw image' files. Not sure what other programs you want to access it with. Ive rarely used qemu. [01:04] <^james_foo^> mario12: i changed to www.puppylinux... until with more ram then changing back to buntu... puppy is *very* nice too [01:04] cystic: anyway thanks [01:04] but she also has a bt mouse and webcam on the notebook, so I am worried about the drivers [01:05] mario12: you might also look at mepis...supposed to be good with hw [01:05] i have my interfaces file set eth0 to static with ip address & subnet masks.. can't ping, anyone know what i'm missing? [01:05] ok, will research [01:05] mario12: all you can do - is basically try them and see what works [01:05] sFEARs, What error you get when try to Ping ? [01:06] destination host unreachable, crossover cable between two computers [01:06] maybe the cable is bad [01:06] true, just needed some pointers, since there is way too much to try [01:06] thanks a lot [01:08] sFEARs: perhaps your default route is not set.. If uysing a crossover cable. You could setup a dhcp server on one box. [01:09] howdy y'all, i upgrade my desktop to lucid & now my gnome terminal has lost it's transparency (nvidia card, and upgraded to latest .run nvidia driver from nvidia direct) and my 2 desktops use to be stretched together into 1 big one; is that now a setting somewhere? [01:09] I have ubuntu-server running and I have an external media drive that has all my movies and music stored on it. If i connect it to ubuntu-server should it be detected automatically and share throught my network ? [01:10] is there a channel for assistance with ec2 ubuntu images? [01:10] DDwi, #ubuntu-cloud [01:11] Dr_Willis: qemu-img convert -c -f raw -O qcow2 win98.img win98q.img [01:11] help hiding in closet from wife she wants her ubuntu back after she did a bad config and I am getting a mount error( I think) thank you in advance for yor help any one [01:12] iceman30ad, Try to describe more, and specify what the problem is, also what errors you get. [01:12] iceman30ad: do you know the error? :P [01:12] iceman30ad: keep hiding, lol [01:12] iceman30ad: 'gksu gedit /etc/fstab' might have some hints.. (to kill the bad mountpoint) [01:12] Dr_Willis: set laptop to dhcp, won't discover an ip, how do i get the desktop to serve the ip address? [01:13] ok the screen says no init found try passing init= bootarg [01:13] iceman30ad: ah.. that's more than a mount error.. that means the actual system moved/was erased. [01:14] i think they should make network cards with two ports to test the cable, a little late now i guess [01:14] djustice: sounds like she might have nuked the grub config [01:14] th0r: yep, but how? [01:14] how can I completely clone an ext4 partition from one drive to another freely? [01:14] djustice: I am not on linux at the moment....I think if he just update-grub it might rewrite the conf [01:14] ^james_foo^: puppylinux uses what desktop enviroment? gnome? [01:15] iceman30ad: you can boot the live image, mount the partition, then chroot to it, then 'sudo apt-get purge grub && sudo apt-get install grub && sudo update-grub'... maybe.. [01:15] ok ???? [01:15] thanks egsome [01:15] EvilPhoenix: dd if=/dev/sda of/dev/sda2 [01:15] how do I do that ? [01:15] th0r: update grub only rewrites the config from /etc/default/grub /etc/grub.d/* to teh mbr.. [01:15] <^james_foo^> bastidrazor: um, not sure. xfce or so i think [01:15] EvilPhoenix: use 'rsync' [01:15] EvilPhoenix: make sure you understand exactly what a dd command does before you execute it [01:15] sFEARs: install a dhcp server on one of the machines. [01:15] DDwi, You're welcome. [01:15] so update-grub might not be enough if the actual .cfg's were nuked.. [01:15] EvilPhoenix: dd if=/dev/partition_to_clone of=/dev/partition_to_write [01:15] Okay. So. Fresh Ubuntu 10.04 install. I got Compiz and the proper nVIDYA drivers. I got the desktop cube working. I can't get the floating 3d windows on rotation working. I remember it working in 9.10. How do I get it back? [01:15] can't even get to a live image [01:15] iceman30ad: the disc you installed ubuntu from? [01:15] * EvilPhoenix generally ignores commands he doesnt know [01:16] djustice: (and everyone else) I think there is a way to get grub to rewrite the conf...but llike I said I am not on linux at the moment [01:16] ^james_foo^: xfce is nice and lightweight.. thanks [01:16] LordHawke: install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra and enable 3D Windows in ccsm [01:16] EvilPhoenix: good ;) [01:16] I am running lucid, want to upgrade to 10.10.

[01:19] nevermind, read it wrong.. Dr_Willis, if i have both set to static i don't need a dhcp. [01:19] sFEARs: if you set them up Staticly - then you dont use a dhcp server.. one way or the other... with dhcp. You sert them both to DHCP amd they should 'work' [01:19] Delvien: boot to liveCD and reinstall grub2 [01:19] okay thanks [01:19] will try [01:19] ActionParsnip: I just said I couldnt boot to liveCD :P or i would of done that [01:19] sFEARs: sounds like you dont have the defaultroute set properly [01:19] If I wanted to turn my wifi adapter into an ap forwarding Ethernet signal what mode is it called ? Monitor mode, managed, ...? [01:20] Delvien: then use a USB device [01:20] !ics | Coded1 [01:20] Coded1: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [01:20] hi [01:20] ActionParsnip: Thats what I do, Its my video card, livecd does not like it. [01:20] I'm having some problems with my apache permissions can anyone assist? [01:20] Coded1: the wifi is set up as usual. The forwarding is done with network address translation [01:20] !ask | Neo_ [01:20] Neo_: 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. :-) [01:20] say, since I changed my computer name to danger I always get this message when i do something with sudo: "sudo: unable to resolve host danger" [01:21] Delvien: then use bootoptions to specify safe vga [01:21] !hostname | cystic [01:21] cystic: 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. [01:21] ActionParsnip: tried that. [01:21] egsome: ran command, no errors [01:21] cystic: i would think your /etc/hosts is not correct [01:21] Delvien: how did you install then? [01:21] ActionParsnip: netinstall :) [01:22] I've recently changed my document root from /var/www to /home/xxxx/www and know im getting 403 permissiond denied, ived chown'd to root with 644 still the same [01:22] k, i will check it out. thanks a bunch! [01:22] ActionParsnip: Is there no way within the grub rescue> shell to actually rescue grub? [01:22] how do i install anti aliasing to at lest 4x [01:22] Delvien: try a different livecd then, may have different options for your video chip, or you could blacklist the video chip driver to then use vesa [01:23] Delvien: you can type grub commands to get a boot [01:23] Neo_: what are permissions on /home, /home/xxxx/, and /home/xxxx/www? Use a pastebin [01:23] Th0r: I actually want to do this on my iPhone but forgot the "mode" the wifi interface has to be in to achieve this AP mode. #iPhone people aren't as technical as u guys figured u could shed some light [01:23] btw, the answer is RUN+="/somecmand", and some command does stty -F $DEVNAME speed 9600 [01:23] I'm trying to use a id_rsa public key between one server and another and connecting via SSH works the first time (no password required), but connecting anytime thereafter requires a password.. WHAT GIVES? [01:23] 127.0.1.1 ubuntu.ubuntu-domain ubuntu ....so should I change that last ubuntu to say danger since that is what is in the hostname file? [01:23] Coded1: seriously..... [01:24] dbruns: is ubuntu on the server? [01:24] jrib: yes [01:24] jrib: on both [01:24] dbruns: what *exactly* are you doing? [01:25] magedragon25, So, try the same command `sudo updage-manager -d` and pastebin any errors or log, so the people here can help. [01:25] jrib: setting up a rails production server using capistrano. my git repository is on a development server [01:25] ActionParsnip: I see what happened.... it installed grub on the USB i installed from. Jeeeez you think it would of detected the drive and done it there [01:25] that did it, thanks! [01:25] jrib: i need to automate the git pull/clone so it can update code when I deploy [01:25] Delvien: i'm not that conversant with grub to know the commands etc but I know you can type stuff to boot from that prompt [01:25] dbruns: I mean connection-wise. You have two machines and you just saying "connecting anytime thereafter". Let's call your machines A and B [01:25] jrib: http://pastebin.com/Tm3L4XpL [01:25] Delvien: linux is flexible, so you can do as you wish, glad you worked it out dude :) [01:26] Th0r. I'm not looking for specific information to do with iOS or hardware just what mode the adapter would have to be in to be recognized as an ap. IE. To sniff packets you have to be in "Monitor mode" [01:26] Hi. I've got this weird situation, where the users can't get to sound, and so their login hangs. [01:26] Looks like pulse isn't starting. [01:26] Any ideas? [01:26] Neo_: www-data (or "everyone" if you don't want to change owner/group) needs execute permissions on all parent directories [01:26] ActionParsnip: Lol, i know, ive been using ubuntu for 6 years now, just the first time ive dealt with grub2 ( I dont like it!) [01:26] Neo_: apache runs as www-data [01:26] jrib: A needs to connect to B for a git pull which uses scp to transfer files so when I do git pull the first time (no entry in known_hosts on B) it works without prompting for a password. Once there is an entry in known_hosts on B *for A* it prompts [01:27] Delvien: i single boot so any bootloader is fine by me [01:27] Delvien: compared to the LILO and GRUB1 fighting ive had in the past.. i will stick with GRUB2 [01:27] Dr_Willis: I liked grub1, it was straightforward! [01:27] Delvien: dont forget Syslinux also.. :) its fun when all them use similer yet different configs [01:27] dbruns: forget about git pull. Use just ssh so we can troubleshoot [01:28] Delvien: grub1 was also fastly aproaching a wall of limitations and other issues .. so was born grub2 [01:28] jrib: yeah I am ;p [01:28] jrib: you asked me to explain the situation [01:28] dbruns: but not in your explanation :/ [01:28] jrib: Thanks! fixed [01:29] Neo_: no problem [01:29] Kyle__: could try this ppa, it goes all te way to jaunty: http://superuser.com/questions/17180/ubuntu-ppa-with-pulse-audio-0-9-15 or you could just disable system sounds..... [01:30] ActionParsnip: Is there a way to do that for all users in one fell swoop? Instead of doing it user by user? [01:31] Kyle__: that will be applied system wide. Disabling the sound I am unsure of [01:32] Humm. [01:32] I dunno if I can/should do that.... VIrtualbox hangs starting a VM if it can't get to the sound. [01:32] Dr_Willis: I suppose, but the problem is that when installing from a USB drive, grub2 detects MBR from usb, not from the HDD you are installing ubuntu on, which is why i ran into this recent problem. Bug reportin' time [01:32] dbruns: if you're not sure how to explain it better, the best explanation is usually pastebin a series of commands and output in your terminal that illustrate your problem without the need for added words (I guess you should run ssh a couple of times and display one time it working and then not working right after). Don't omit anything you run [01:32] Anyone mind helping me? [01:32] ok I was following dj's instructions and got a new error [01:33] Kyle__: try disabling sound in the settings. I'd also ask in #vbox [01:33] jrib: working on it :p [01:33] with ssh -v ;p [01:33] mount: cannot read /etc/fstab: no such file or dir [01:34] iceman30ad: you should have one [01:34] and all I was trying to do was mount /dev/sd0 [01:34] lol [01:34] anyone know if the php mail() function works by default on a default install of apache2 and php5? [01:34] Do someone know of a bitmap font generator program for Linux? Seems like there aren't many alternatives out there. [01:35] I need a touch friendly keyboard for a tablet in ubuntu, something perhaps self hiding, swypish or acts like a cell phone keyboard, is there anything? [01:35] I'm new to ubuntu, linux persion. I orderd a cheap vps to mess arround with. So I want to setup znc, a friend was guiding me through, he was trying to help me set up a user on the server because he said not to do it as root. [01:35] FalsAlarm: you need to install sendmail [01:35] Rickmasta: shouldn't you already have a user on the server? [01:36] there's root. [01:36] sometux, does it require alot of configuration? [01:36] Rickmasta: root isn't enabled by default on ubuntu... [01:36] "enabled" [01:36] what do you mean? [01:36] FalsAlarm: exim4 should work too , and it's easier to install and configure [01:36] Rickmasta: by default, the root account has no password on ubuntu [01:37] sometux, well, as long as I dont have open relay on my server [01:37] !root | Rickmasta [01:37] Rickmasta: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [01:37] jrib: Mine does [01:37] ubottu: I know my root password [01:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:37] Rickmasta: I doubt your virtual private server is running ubuntu [01:38] How can I check my version of Ubuntu? And do I need to reinstall software between different kernel versions? [01:38] uname -a [01:38] th0r: I am. [01:38] well, it is. [01:39] Rickmasta: You should ask your vps provider for exactly what modifications were made to the install. In case there are others. Anyway, what's your question? [01:39] !version | latagore [01:39] latagore: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [01:39] latagore: no, you don't need to reinstall [01:40] hello all, just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to creating my own window borders. [01:40] Is there a better channel for this? or a link someone could give me? [01:40] jrib: Well, I'm trying to set up another user on the server, but I keep on getting "rick is now alloed to run sudo on vps. This incident will be reported." [01:40] Rickmasta: so you aren't root... [01:40] jrib: I just tried the command and I got "No LSB modules are available." [01:41] latagore: then you aren't using ubuntu [01:41] jrib: That's when I log onto that user. [01:41] latagore: or maybe you didn't type in what ubottu said [01:41] Rickmasta: please take 5 minutes to read the page about sudo ubottu sent you [01:42] Rickmasta: is th user you are using a member of the admin group? [01:42] to find out what version of linux your running, cat /etc/*-release [01:42] FalsAlarm: or: lsb_release -a [01:42] jrib: crap, sorry [01:42] zzcranjo: I don't think that that question pertains to "Ubuntu", really. I would imagine (and I have a very limited knowledge) that joining a Gnome or KDE channel or something (if such a thing exists) would probably be more on topic. [01:42] latagore: I guess you forgot the "-a"? [01:42] jrib: excuse the language [01:43] zzcranjo: art.gnome.org has a metacity tutorial. For compiz, maybe try #compiz [01:43] jrib: Yes I forgot [01:44] irib: Thanks for the help. [01:44] @linux, thanks, I probably will. :) Jrib, thankyou, i will take a look [01:45] dbruns: ok, before I get bored and leave. Here's my guess: you're using encryption on the server... the authorized_keys file only exists in one state (encrypted or not decrypted). If that's true, I'd suggest changing the location for that file in your sshd_config [01:46] jrib: sorry been trying different things.. [01:46] Rickmasta: you know what root is and what sudo does now? [01:46] jrib: you may be on to something though [01:46] jrib: http://www.pastie.org/private/wjvt8uohd4czu3reedtgsw [01:46] is there an easier way of sending mail from within php5 without using the php mail() function and installing a email server [01:46] FalsAlarm, no. [01:47] dbruns: well that doesn't show the key being used ever, right? Does "authorized_keys2" work? I always use it without the "2" [01:47] jrib: Yes, I have an Idea. [01:48] Rickmasta: ok. So you know what to do now? [01:48] FalsAlarm, although, you may want to inquire in #php [01:48] jrib: yeah it works from megatron to megatron and from one of my pcs at the office to megatron [01:48] Hi, peeps. Is there a chan for pam-face-authentication? [01:49] jrib: I would follow the "Allowing other users to run sudo", right? [01:49] Rickmasta: sure. I'm guessing you created the "rick" user yourself from the root account? [01:49] jrib: Yup [01:50] litropy, try asking on their mailing list [01:50] http://pam-face-authentication.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_pam-face-authentication.org [01:50] Rickmasta: right, so as root, you need to "adduser rick admin". That will add the rick user to the admin group and all users in the admin group are given the abliity to sudo. [01:51] jrib: but when I try that, I get "The group 'admin' does not exist." [01:51] Rickmasta: I do belive a user must log out/back in befor 'group' chanves will take affect. [01:51] euxneks: I've never understood mailing lists. They're hard to navigate and fill up my inbox. Am I missing something in usability understanding? [01:51] Rickmasta: that's another standard ubuntu thing... Are you sure this is ubuntu? What does the command « lsb_release -a » return? [01:51] jrib: it even works if I connect directly from the laptop I'm on.. [01:52] litropy, I use gmail and filter mailing lists into their own labels and skip the inbox [01:52] Rickmasta: the command worked for me --> willis@cow:/home$ sudo adduser peg admin [01:52] litropy, you can also unsubscribe after a while [01:52] (peg is my users name in question) [01:52] dbruns: not to be a pain, but I still don't know the problem :) In any case, if you *are* using encryption on the server, you *need* to change the location of authorized_keys to somewhere outside the encrypted directory [01:52] litropy, other than that you can email that guy on the project page [01:52] I would like to get involved with submitting art to be used with the distro releases(e.g. the selection of "default" wallpapers). I am an amatuer artist, and would like to know how I can submit icons, or wallpapers. And is there a todo list of icons or wallpapers etc that need creating? [01:52] jrib: http://screens.rickmasta.com/Ep.jpg === TannerF is now known as Pilif12p [01:52] euxneks: Why is it that when I view mailing lists online and click "Next in thread," it seems to go to a completely different thread? [01:53] Rickmasta: cat /etc/sudoers [01:53] litropy, that's a question for the creators of the listviewing software ;) [01:53] Is there a way to completely reset the keyboard/mouse settings in Ubuntu. I have to use a very old 8.04 build for a class project and the mouse movement is super weird and I cant select the menus or title bars of any windows. [01:53] euxneks: online, as in converted from mail to a public archive [01:54] jrib: http://screens.rickmasta.com/9f.jpg [01:54] euxneks: aaah. heh. But it's been that way for years damnit :P [01:54] hi guys.. i got this problem.. when i wanna update, give me error bcause couldnt connect to server or something..i try to change the server, but doesnt wok..someone can help? [01:54] jrib: I changed nothing and after trying a few times from all over it works now.... [01:54] Rickmasta: they called the group "staff" instead of admin :/ [01:55] jrib: I added that, a friend told me to. [01:55] There was only root. [01:55] Samplezt: can you access the internet on the same PC? [01:55] dbruns: well you may have added your key both to /home/.ssh/authorized_keys before your home is decrypted and after. This is a pain to maintain [01:55] yes [01:55] with windows works fine [01:55] allows one to serve their current working directory over their lan@ localhost:8000, I would like to expose this dir to the internet. I've already set up a ddns provider, and forwarded port 8000 through my router, what would be my next step? or could someone point me towards a how-to? [01:55] Rickmasta: its most likely not ubuntu then as the community doesn't support root logins [01:55] Peeps, why is the right click menu of unity not popping? for instance, I hover and get "Google Chrome" in a nice, easy to read bubble. I then right-click, and I don't get "Keep in Dock" and the like. [01:55] Rickmasta: k, that's fine. But standard is "admin" on ubuntu, so when you see the "admin" group in the documentation, you'll have to read that as "staff" [01:56] jrib: how can I tell if it is encrypting my home directory? I don't remember how I set it up on megatron [01:56] I'll change it to staff [01:56] admin* [01:56] Samplezt: ok cool, can you give the output of: sudo apt-get update use http://pastie.org to give the output [01:56] dbruns: umm, if you close every session your user has and then go to his home with another user, you'll see some encryption related stuff there. Don't know of a better way [01:57] dbruns: maybe "mount" says something too [01:57] How do I debug something that should be run using run-parts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d [01:57] ? [01:57] jrib: I changed it, and I'm still getting the same error. [01:57] mm how it works the page? [01:57] I would like to get involved with submitting art to be used with the distro releases(e.g. the selection of "default" wallpapers). I am an amatuer artist, and would like to know how I can submit icons, or wallpapers. And is there a todo list of icons or wallpapers etc that need creating? [01:57] !contribute | zzcranjo [01:57] zzcranjo: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [01:58] ActionParsnip: thanks [01:58] Additionally, the bug in Untiy is intermittent. Like, NOW I can get the right-click menu. I didn't close any programs or change states. [01:58] jrib: yep it is... [01:58] jrib: mount has some info [01:58] Anyone know how to turn encryption on my home directory OFF? [01:58] Rickmasta: what did you type exactly? If you didn't create the "staff" group, you'll have to. Or better yet, create an "admin" group and update your /etc/sudoers so that your install is closer to what the documentation for ubuntu will always talk about [01:59] jrib: Mind telling me how I'll do that? [01:59] would rm ~/.encryptfs be enough?... [01:59] dbruns: well you want to get your encrypted data safe somewhere first [01:59] jrib: i don't care about the data in there its a development server [01:59] action, ready, i paste the output [02:00] iving new users to linux the option to encrypt partitions is a real bad idea imho [02:00] chek it :) [02:00] dbruns: I *think* it's enough to delete those files then, yes [02:00] Samplezt: i need the new address of the browser [02:00] Samplezt: you need to paste it in here [02:00] http://pastie.org/pastes/1151297 [02:01] sweet [02:02] Samplezt: can you upgrade ok in terminal? Does: sudo apt-get upgrade work? [02:03] please excuse me for a minute or so [02:03] it seems to work fine.. [02:03] =/ [02:04] Samplezt: cool downloading ok then sounds like you are ok === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:04] Weird weird.... [02:05] OK. If I wait long enough, gnome looks normal, but the system load is over 4, and there are several pulseaudio --start jobs running the background [02:05] And no sound is available. [02:05] Any ideas? [02:06] but when i tryo to update [02:06] look what happen [02:07] here [02:07] http://pastie.org/pastes/1151309 [02:07] Kyle__: sounds like you are telling the OS to remember the running apps (maybe). You can try: killall pulseaudio wich should sort them out, you can then run a single instance. [02:08] Samplezt: can you pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list please [02:08] ok [02:09] does anyone know about running android apps on (k)ubuntu? [02:09] here [02:09] http://pastie.org/1151315 [02:09] Samplezt, I think there's a problem in your Internet connection, The errors report that Ubuntu cannot reach archive.canonical.com and other hosts, although they're reachable with no problems ! [02:10] Samplezt: all looks in order, try manually choosing a different server in the System -> software sources [02:10] Samplezt: Do you have any firewall software installed on your computer or router? Also, are you using a schools or collegs internet? [02:11] i already try that.. but it doesnt work [02:11] Samplezt: try editting /etc/hosts and change the nameservers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 [02:11] maybe is the interrnet [02:11] ActionParsnip: I'm not telling it to restart programs on login. [02:11] but in windows work fine [02:11] ok, lets see.. [02:11] Kyle__: tre but if it makes the sound work you know what the issue is [02:11] ActionParsnip: I've actually removed all my dot files more than once, hoping it was some setting that accidently got triggered. No luck. [02:11] Samplezt, Check your Internet connection settings ( Router Configurations ). Do you use a Proxy ? [02:11] ActionParsnip: Trust me I wish. Besides, this is for multiple users [02:11] Samplezt; is your ip comcast or roadrunner by any chance [02:12] jrib: FYI, i'm almost certain what made it work was that I logged in from grimlock and left that connection open (home dir was mounted) and then it worked... i removed all ecrypt.pam references in my /etc/ files and .ecryptfs from ~ and now its no longer encrypted ;p [02:12] Kyle__: it still needs checking so we know [02:12] now i just need to figure out why passenger doesn't like my app [02:12] dbruns: k, you should probably purge the relevant package too [02:12] ActionParsnip: I removed all the . files and . directories It's clean [02:13] Samplezt: If you cannot resolve the problem, I suggest asking someone in person to help you. If you do not know any experienced ubuntu users, then let me know, and I can try remote support options. [02:14] Anyone know off hand if you can run qemu on ubuntu inside of vmware? [02:15] Gambit-: so you are going to run 'ubuntu -> running vmware --> running qemu' [02:15] no [02:15] Kyle__: if you run: sudo lshw -C audio copy the product line and use it in websearches [02:15] Win7 -> VMWare -> Ubuntu -> Qemu -> Debian ARM [02:15] Gambit-: most likely yes [02:15] sry.. mm i open the host file but where i change the name server?

[02:20] ok idleone [02:21] Rickmasta: in a terminal type: sudo adduser username admin ..substitute username with the user you want added [02:21] Rickmasta: to create the "admin" group, you would do: addgroup admin [02:21] bastidrazor: It's saying the the admin group doesn't work. [02:21] /join #ubuntu-br [02:22] pietro10: do you have mac address filtering set on the router? [02:22] IDK, let me check [02:22] ActionParsnip: No great shakes there. It shows it's intel AC97 audio, and the drivers are infact loaded. [02:22] Rickmasta: that isn't an actual error, can you be specific [02:22] jrib: sudo? [02:22] Rickmasta: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-add-user-to-group/ [02:22] Rickmasta: presumably, you are root... [02:22] Kyle__: you may need some options on the module or kernel to make it fly. If it is a branded PC or laptop then this can be used in websearches [02:23] thune3: ok it says MAC Filtering is "Secured" [02:23] which is odd; I don't have WEP enabled [02:23] maybe it turned that on when I gave the router Dynamic DNS [02:23] ActionParsnip: I needed no options on the other identical machines that are running ubuntu. [02:23] Kyle__: interesting. hmm. Is the sound chip onboard or is it on the motherboard? [02:24] Kyle__: is the sounds card easily replaceable, basically [02:24] ok it still doesn't seem to be connection [02:24] yeah it's not connecting [02:25] jrib: Ok, I added the user to admin, I change staff to admin, I'm still getting the same error. "rick is not allowed to run sudo on vps." [02:25] No, it's onboard. This problem just started happening today in this lab, and it's effecting all the machies with that image. I can't roll back, so I need to diagnose what's going on to fix it. [02:25] Rickmasta: what does « groups »return? [02:25] root [02:25] Rickmasta: ok, and now login as rick [02:26] jrib: staff and admin [02:26] Kyle__: if you boot to livecd. Is it ok? [02:26] is there a way I can get the log to see why it's no tworking? [02:26] Rickmasta: and now "sudo echo hi"? [02:26] pietro10: maybe look at the end of /var/log/syslog for clues as to where connection operations are missing. [02:26] I'm quite sure it would be, but I haven't doen that [02:26] Olá a todos. Algum brasileiro? [02:26] !br | gerio-un [02:26] gerio-un: Entre em #ubuntu-br usando /join #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [02:27] lol thanks jrib [02:27] jrib: Same error. "rick is not allowed to run sudo on vps." [02:27] Rickmasta: pastebin your /etc/sudoers [02:29] thune3: ok it keeps DHCPDISCOVER 255.255.255.255 on different bands === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy [02:29] and no response from any of it, so it fails === zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy [02:30] let me try setting to channel 3 [02:30] I installed tftpd and dhcp3-server correctly, both working, but my client on the network is not receiving files, what could be wrong? [02:30] wait i get up to 11 but Ubuntu is going up to 3 [02:30] jrib: http://pastebin.com/TKhkND1R [02:30] bleh let's try it [02:30] I accidentally installed a 32-bit10.04, to change it to 64 is it as simple as compiling a 64 bit kernel? I can only access 3.7 gigs of ram, even though i have 4gigs. [02:31] zzcranjo: you can install the pae kernel to access up to 12Gb RAM [02:31] zzcranjo: it will take a reinstall.. enve even with 64bit. and exactly 4gb of ram. SOME of it may be used by the system. so not accessable fully [02:31] !pae [02:31] To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [02:31] ActionParsnip: thanks [02:32] zzcranjo: with exactly 4gb of ram. its a bit of a tossup - if its worth going 64bit or not.. depends on what you are doing with the system [02:32] Rickmasta: meh, should work. What does « sudo -K; sudo -l » say? [02:32] Rickmasta: this is all as rick [02:33] but yeah [02:33] it's doing DHCPREQUEST 255.255.255.255 at increasing intervals [02:33] Dr_Willis: I am an artist, both 2d and 3d, so I need the extra 300 mb for renders [02:33] and not getting a response [02:33] So I think its worth it [02:33] hi everyone [02:34] i am searching for a graphic traceroute util. Anybody knows a good one? === andy is now known as Guest98079 [02:34] pietro10: you aren't selecting a specific SSID to connect to? You are getting associated and authenticated? [02:34] newbie here [02:34] what do you mean? [02:34] I don't have any wireless security [02:35] crushpest: I do not know of any programs, but go to whois ip [02:35] and a specific network, yes (the one from my router) [02:35] crushpest, `System menu > Administration > Network tools` has a good one. [02:35] crushpest: Oh, egsome has a good one [02:35] crushpest, or you mean one that draw graphical output of traceroute ? [02:35] zzcranjo: you may want to reinstall a 64bit OS then.. and even then like i said. You may not get the full 300mb back. [02:36] Guest98079, Welcome. [02:36] yes with a mapping funktion [02:36] zzcranjo: but for math intesnsive renderings.. 64bit will give you a bit of a speed gain [02:36] pietro10: you were saying it was scanning channels and broadcasting, which was odd. it should know the channel of your router, by nam,e and set that channel. associated and authenticated are connection steps you should see in the syslog. [02:37] this is when I wish I had readslow [02:37] crushpest, check: http://freshmeat.net/projects/gtrace/ [02:37] egsome: i read something about xtraceroute, but i isn't in apt [02:37] mtr - Full screen ncurses and X11 traceroute tool === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === sedstapler is now known as sedulous [02:38] !info mtr [02:39] mtr (source: mtr): Full screen ncurses and X11 traceroute tool. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.75-2build1 (lucid), package size 51 kB, installed size 168 kB [02:39] how can i intergrate my command line into my desktop? [02:39] sigh [02:39] niglop: depends on what you want. try guake [02:39] !info guake [02:39] guake (source: guake): A drop-down terminal for GNOME Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.1-3 (lucid), package size 139 kB, installed size 960 kB [02:39] AAAAARGH [02:39] I don't see any authentication step or anything like that [02:39] just a few Listening steps and then the DHCPREQUESTS [02:39] jrib: sudo -K doesn't do anything, and sudo -l says "Sorry, user rick may not run sudo on vps." [02:39] maybe I'm doing it wrong [02:39] one sec Dr_Willis ill show you a pic [02:39] ActionParsnip: Now I know why I was seeing it on the clients... theyuse NFS homes. [02:39] Rickmasta: don't know then, contact your vps provider [02:40] ActionParsnip: It's because ubuntu's NFS server is broken, rpc.statd doesn't start (or stay running) as needed. Probably because of upstart. [02:40] hi guys, does anybody know a good bootable hardware diagnostic suite? I want to test the components in this old PC [02:40] niglop, i use Yakuake, a pop-up terminal with F12 [02:40] niglop: the 'terminal in a root window on the desktop' was popular years ago.. but is a bit of an annoyance in many ways.. guake works very well. [02:40] HoudiniMan: On nights like this, I'd say use a different linux :P [02:40] hold up one sec [02:40] HoudiniMan: astrumi used to have some good tools on it. [02:40] Dr_Willis: i'm using it right now, you insensitive clod :p [02:40] Kyle__: ubuntu isnt always the answer [02:41] ActionParsnip: And today, it was, in fact, the problem. [02:41] guys, Internet is definitely the problem .. to get to a page I have to try several times before coming .. and the download speed is too slow .. any idea? [02:41] egsome: mtr has no map function [02:41] Dr_Willis» http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/217/screenshot32i.png [02:41] pietro10: not sure. could you install pastebinit and pastebin the end of syslog: "tail -n 300 /var/log/syslog | pastebinit -" [02:41] Kyle__: looks like you need to research a new distro then [02:42] http://lifehacker.com/294005/embed-a-terminal-in-the-desktop-with-compiz-fusion [02:42] Samplezt, are you wired or wireless [02:42] thanks dr [02:42] ActionParsnip: For the server end of this, yes. [02:42] niglop: thats what we were talking about an 'embeded' in the root window terminal.. thers dozens of hacks to do it. [02:42] thune3: that's the thing — I can't get to the internet =p [02:43] I'm not even tied to a linux solution, just something a la PC Doctor that's free [02:43] o [02:43] wired [02:43] does guake do the same thing? [02:43] niglop: guake pops down a terminal on F12 [02:43] oh === Mariele is now known as Guest95720 [02:43] niglop: you basically take a terminal that can do transprancy, and set it to be 'below others' and with no deforations -> its on the root of the desktop then [02:43] let me reset the router. [02:44] Samplezt, so I take it you're using ethernet and DHSL? [02:44] Dr_Willis» i dont want it showing in my task list though [02:44] niglop: see http://lifehacker.com/294005/embed-a-terminal-in-the-desktop-with-compiz-fusion [02:44] like as a button on my task bar [02:44] thats right [02:44] niglop: theres some settings for that i recall also. [02:44] o [02:44] <{n8}> anyone know a cool white mac-ish style theme [02:45] how can i remove a package using apt-get, but exclude one of its dependencies? basically i want to completely remove php, but i want to keep phpmyadmin installed as im going to manually install php again [02:45] Samplezt, is this the only computer going through the router? [02:45] {n8}: there's a huge quantity of OSX-styled themes on GNOME Look. [02:45] <{n8}> tensorpudding: oh nice [02:45] <{n8}> thanx [02:45] no guarantees that any of them are good. [02:45] MACscr: tell apt to install it [02:45] <{n8}> yeah ill look [02:46] there is another one, with windows xp [02:46] jrib: huh? [02:46] MACscr: huh what? [02:46] Samplezt, and does it suffer the same slowdown? [02:46] <{n8}> MACscr: remove php, then install phpmyadmin [02:46] MACscr: tell apt to install phpmyadmin at the same time... [02:46] <{n8}> or yeah [02:47] if i reinstall my os, how do i remount my Raid? [02:47] so that wont modify what i have done with phpmyadmin? [02:47] sudo apt-get install somthing+ somthingtoremove- (or am i backwards) [02:47] MACscr: two people are speaking to you [02:47] 3 now [02:47] <{n8}> sorry [02:47] not, and when I use my windows partition, internet works fine [02:47] :s [02:47] lol, and i was responding. sheesh [02:47] I just recall that in the apt-get manual i read the other day >:) never seen a need for it [02:48] crushpest, I see [02:48] MACscr: yeah but we have no clue what "that" is in your sentence. There's more than one suggestion... [02:48] crushpest, I think gtrace is good, but never tried it out. === pietro10_ is now known as pietro10 [02:48] Samplezt, OK, can you post the output of 'ifconfig' please [02:48] When I try and log in, it plays that drum noise and then goes back to the login screen. I tried going logging in via a terminal but I get this weird screen corruption. Anybody help? :X [02:49] <{n8}> MACscr: i dont *think* apt-get remove, removes like config dirs and stuff for whatever your removing... [02:49] TraumaPony: can you ssh in from a differnet machine? (if you got ssh installed) [02:49] Nup, I don't [02:49] if i reinstall my os, how do i remount my Raid? [02:50] {n8}: it does if you ask it to. I want it to remove everything else, just not phpmyadmin [02:50] I tried booting into recovery mode but it does the weird screen corruption there too [02:50] here [02:50] http://pastie.org/1151359 [02:50] Maybe my video card drivers are fucked [02:51] TraumaPony: Watch the language pleaes [02:51] TraumaPony: theres the 'text' option you can use, that might get it to boot to a normal console. edit the grub boot line at the grub menus, and append 'text' to the end after the 'quiet' and other options [02:52] hello all, I'm trying to use Glade and PyGTK, but Glade seems to be "defective", if you will. I am unable to drag and drop anything. If I try and drag and drop something, there is no indication that the GUI recognizes I am trying to do so, and does nothing to drag and drop them. I'm using Lucid 10.4.1.. What's up with this? Thanks in advance! [02:52] any idea?' [02:53] Dr_Willis: Should vga be set to the weird number of 789? [02:53] Samplezt, thank you. I see nothing wrong there. Can you post the output of "lshw -C Network" please? [02:54] Dr_Willis Hmm, nope, that didn't work, it's corrupted still [02:54] ok, let me see [02:54] when i boot any sort of ubuntu live cd, it goes to black screen. i think it may be my intel onboard graphics? [02:55] here, http://pastie.org/1151365 [02:56] what is the preferential website builder for Linux? [02:56] area51pilot: vim [02:56] it's quiet [02:56] vim? [02:56] !html [02:56] html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [02:57] [more to the point, what is a "website builder"?] [02:57] TraumaPony: the 'text' option shoudl default to the old 'failsafe text' mode for the console. and not use the framebufer at all. [02:57] (vim is a text editor, like notepad but better) [02:57] Dr_Willis: Should I remove the vga option then? [02:57] Like notepad - in the same way a swiss army knife is like a butter knife.. :) [02:57] ok [02:57] thx all [02:58] Dr_Willis: Or does it override them? [02:58] TraumaPony: in the past. i get to the grub menu, hit e to edit a line. and i replace --> "quiet nosplash" [02:58] Dr_Willis: K trying that [02:58] TraumaPony: with just 'text' and it boots to a console, no gdm, no framebuffer, just a basic text console.. if that dont work.. well that is weird... [02:59] TraumaPony: Thats what i was suggesting earlier.. [02:59] Ya it's fucked too [02:59] TraumaPony: and your video chipset is what exactly? [02:59] TraumaPony: watch the language please [02:59] TraumaPony, Watch your language .. [02:59] Samplezt, Ok, I see the driver listed for the ethernet controller is RTL8111/8168B, but the driver it is using is r8169 [03:00] Dr_Willis: 9800 GT. But if I try booting it in virtualbox, it does the same thing [03:00] IdleOne/egsome: eh [03:00] When i boot any sort of ubuntu live cd, it goes to black screen. i think it may be my intel onboard graphics? [03:00] TraumaPony: Family friendly language is channel policy. === LinoSP_ is now known as LinoSP [03:01] Oh, you mean like, no swearing? [03:01] TraumaPony: yes please [03:01] mm.. =/.. so? what i do?' [03:01] Yes, I'm only 14. My mind might get scarred for life :( [03:01] Well that's stupid *shrug* [03:01] Dr_Willis: Is there a way to undo driver changes or something from a live cd? [03:02] Samplezt, I don't know enough to tell you here how to fix it but you can try blacklisting r8169 and see if it loads the proper driver - you can always un-blacklist it if it doesn't [03:03] TraumaPony: i had some quirks with my nvidia chipset and the neaovu driver. but that text option shouldent even be loading that driver.. This is on a live cd? or an installed system? [03:03] Samplezt, otherwise you'll have to wait for someone with more neurons than I [03:03] Dr_Willis: Installed. [03:03] TraumaPony: so has it ever worked? [03:03] no prbolem, thanks men.. i try that [03:03] I MAY HAVE FOUND A BUG but not sure. I just installed my system-installed the updates and installed gufw. Then I created two regular users. I logged into one user and viewed the files in the other users account. Neither of these accounts had privs. [03:04] Dr_Willis: Yup. Though come to think of it, before I restarted, I was playing around with virtualbox and installed the virtualbox guest additions... Could that be causing this? [03:04] TraumaPony: backup. this is a gfx issue in ubuntu thats running IN virtualbox? [03:04] Samplezt, buena suerte [03:05] I thing the live cd are good but if you want it to work right you need to install it. [03:05] Dr_Willis: Both. I boot the same installation either at startup or in virtualbox [03:05] TraumaPony: you are running a ubuntu install from a 'real' hard drive in virtualbox, ? and you also boot it up normally? [03:05] jajaja, buen español.. my english suck right? xD === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [03:05] Dr_Willis: Correct. [03:05] TraumaPony: you have noticed the birtualbox warnings (in its docs) about NOT doing such a thing? :) [03:06] Dr_Willis: It is actually an advertised feature :P [03:06] anyone know how to make laptop hotkeys work on 10.10? [03:06] TraumaPony: last i checked the docs.. they said to not do it.. [03:06] Samplezt, your english is good - had I not looked at your pasties I would never have known [03:06] Dr_Willis: lol, I must have missed that part [03:06] !10.10 | gerinych [03:06] gerinych: 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 [03:06] TraumaPony: i recall warnings about hard drive curruption and so forth.. you are basically swapiong out a lot of hardware when you boot in one or the other.. The vbox boot3ed version is Not using the nvidia chipset. so that may be causieng the issues [03:07] Dr_Willis: Hmm. Is there some sort of recovery installation type thing on a linux cd? [03:08] TraumaPony: you can boot live cd, chroot in, and do things [03:08] How can you configure how long sudo remembers your password? [03:10] good evening everyone [03:10] Damn the ubuntu-unregged [03:10] mikelifeguard, `sudo visudo` would let you change some configurations, like `timestamp_timeout` which is the time that your password would be remembered. [03:10] hi guys...insalled ff4 but cant get flash to work..i have it runing in google chorome [03:10] mikelifeguard: its in a settings file soemwhere ive seen. [03:10] who can help me with grub [03:10] egsome: thanks [03:11] mikelifeguard, You're welcome. [03:11] sinman, What is your problem ? [03:11] sinman: ask if anyone can help they will respond :) [03:11] i have ubuntu and ubuntu studio installed [03:11] Could someone please paste a default /etc/sudoers [03:11] I need to change the timer and rename the distro in the grub menu so i know which distro I'm bootinginto [03:12] how can i remove a ppa? [03:12] and the ubuntu studio is the second install and both install has grub [03:12] mikelifeguard: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=116697#post116697 talks about sudoers and the timeout [03:12] MACscr, delete the list file in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ folder [03:12] airtonix: thanks [03:13] wouldn't i need to edit the secnd install grub to keep messing thingsup [03:13] i guess that I should have stated the user permission? bug was in 10.04 [03:13] sinman: which OS is handling the bootloader? is it using Grub1 or grub2? [03:13] MACscr, you'll see that each file there is named according to the PPA [03:13] it's what ever is in ubuntu 10.04.1 lts and ubuntu studio 10.04 [03:14] I think it might be grub 2 [03:14] sinman: then you are using grub2 then. I recall the grub2 docs mention customizing the entries.. or you can cut/paste entries from the /boot/grub/grub.cfg to the /etc/grub.d/40_custome file and alter them how you like. BUt those wont get auto-updated if you upgrade kernel versions [03:14] !grub2 [03:14] 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 [03:15] hello i have problems running googleearth-package , opens but then closes and a "Google Earth has caught signal 11." error appear, am using 10.04 i386 32 bits , thanks [03:15] Dr_Willis: when ubuntu update the kernal then I'll have to deal with it at that time [03:16] How do I install java on ubuntu? [03:17] Which Java do you want? [03:17] akrcanzon: install ubuntu-restricted-extras package4 and it should pull it in (is one way) [03:17] !java [03:17] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [03:17] !java [03:18] Dr_Willis: by any chance would you have a link on how to make the changes in grub 2 [03:18] tensorpudding, Latest version [03:18] I am having problems with kernel 2.6.31-22 on ubuntu 9.10 ... the 2.6.31-14 works fine ... also, none of 2.6.32-xx with ubuntu 10.4 work p[roperly ... [03:18] is this a known issue? [03:18] Dr_Willis: I've booted into a live cd, what would I need to do now? [03:18] sinman: the grub2 factoid and forum posts are what i follow.. bookmarked at my delicious page -> http://delicious/com/dr_willis/grub2 (i think) [03:19] Dr_Willis: ok [03:19] TraumaPony: for starters install the ssh server so you can ssh into a box remotely and try to fix things if the gfx messes up [03:19] Dr_Willis: How do you install it from a live cd? [03:20] http://www.delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2 [03:20] Hey [03:20] I was wondering if anyone can help me? [03:20] TraumaPony: chroot into the installed system.. sudo apt-get install ssh [03:20] I was thinking will gameguard work with wine? [03:21] extremedevilz: and gameguard is what? [03:21] Dr_Willis: chroot / ? [03:21] hi. every time i boot up i have no window borders. i go to appearance and change from normal to custom effects every time, it doesnt keep my option after reboot. so i have no window borders on bootup unless i go to appearance and change to custom. any ideas so i can have custom on permanantly? [03:21] anti cheat system [03:22] TraumaPony: track down a guide on chrooting. ive not had to chroot into a linux box in ages.. the basics. mount system to /media/chroot then 'chroot /media/chroot' then in that terminal you are 'in' the installed system./ there may be other steps needed [03:22] Just built new 64 bit quad core and installed 64 bit Ubuntu 10.4 - but system is running slower than my P4. Any suggestions? I have a WD Caviar Green HD, 1GB PC26400 mem, Phenom 9850 CPU and a 1GB Nvidia 220 GT video card (not installed). [03:22] you only have a gig of memory? [03:22] Tweaky: compiz is crashing or some setting is not getting set. You could install and run the fusion-icon program that should auto-restart compiz as needed [03:23] sixtwo, 1 gig memory ?! [03:23] Dr_Willis: Thanks, that worked [03:23] dr_willis thank you [03:23] for the time being - but just running ubuntu is slow - my p4 with 2gb performs better than it [03:23] sixtwo: "running slower" seems to be subjective: if they're not running the same software it's not really a fair comparison [03:23] lol' @ quad and 1gb ram [03:24] i have quad with 6 and feel like i dont have enough [03:24] does anyone have an nvidia video card on a motherboard with embedded ati video controller? [03:24] then i should say its performing better - both have ubuntu 10.4 but one is 32bit other is 64 - it takes 3-4 seconds for window to load [03:24] im running 6 core 4gb ram soon to be 8 [03:24] a p4 with 2GB of RAM would conceivably outperform a C2Q with 1 GB RAM, if only because the 1 GB will lead to more swapping. [03:24] tom_, Yeah. [03:24] egsome: what kernel do you have? [03:24] and a caviar green [03:25] egsome: do you drive display from ati controller or nvidia?

[03:26] 64-bit has a slight RAM usage hit also, due to the increased amount of addressing; don't know how measurable the difference is. [03:26] sixtwo: unless you need 64 bit, you should run 32 bit desktop [03:26] so anyone mind helping out on flash and firefox 4? [03:26] I go the otuer route.. if you can use 64bit.. may as well use it.. :) [03:26] zeltak, Describe your problem, And people here should help .. [03:27] egsome: have you tried having the ati controller as the primary controller in the bios and then driving the monitor through it?

I've already set up a ddns provider, and forwarded port 8000 through my router, what would be my next step? or could someone point me towards a how-to? [03:27] 64bit on the desktop is still not stable enough for me [03:27] or most people [03:27] hello , is anyone knows how to install the login theme? [03:27] I use all 64bit on my home lan for one other reason.. i just need one 'apt-cacher' server to serve up the 64bit pcakges also. vs needing to cache 32 and 64bit packages. [03:27] server on the other hand [03:27] dlp211, Agree. [03:27] tom_, No. [03:27] I cant say ive had any issues with 64bit on my desktop. at least none ive noticed. [03:27] the egsome ..well basiclly i have no flash wiht ff4 but do have it with chrome [03:28] egsome: the thing is, I want to use my nvidia card purely for CUDA programming, so I don't need to drive monitor through it ... but, in this configuration my system always hungs [03:28] zeltak: have you uninstalled and reinstalled? === Rev is now known as Morphene [03:28] is there a way to disable the DRM (the driver) in linux?

[03:29] egsome: mmm no just the ubuntu plugin. also i just checked and there is no flash in ff3.5 as well [03:29] dlp211: havent reinstalled latley [03:29] egsome: it uses the ATI card, but the system crashes every now and then ... sometimes it can run overnight, if I don't do any activity (such as web browsing) on it [03:29] zeltak, Have you got flash ever working on that system ?, I Mean Have you installed it before ? [03:30] egsome: flash is working well under google chrome right now [03:30] tom_, What do you mean by `crash`?, What happen exactly ? [03:30] zeltak: i meant the flash plugin [03:31] no one knows how to install a login theme? I just downloaded the package,but after unpack it,there are no .theme file. [03:31] hmmmm dunno...i thought chrome used the flasj plugin...how do i check for it? [03:31] xuekan: you sure it was a GDM 2 theme, and not a GDM 1 theme? [03:31] zeltak, So you have `flash plugin` under `Tools -> Addons > Plugins` in ff4 ? [03:31] zeltak, So you have `flash plugin` under `Tools -> Addons > Plugins` in ( firefox ) ?

Any ideas? [03:31] egsome, I don't know where exactly to ff4, but it should be like 3.x [03:31] egsome: GUI freezes ... I can't even move a mouse, or switch to text consoles ... (ALT+Fx) ... sometimes I can Alt+SysReq+B to reboot the system (meaning that some part of the kernel is responsive), but sometimes even that doesn't work ... [03:31] is there some sort of diagnostic tool for this? bcm4312 [03:32] egsome: no flash is not present just icedT [03:32] zeltak, That the Java one [03:32] Dr_Willis: I don't know what the differences are between them,but the website only provide one pack. [03:32] zeltak, OK, What about trying to install flash plugin ? [03:32] egsome: this ubuntu 9.10 with the new kernel and 10.4 are completely a nightmare for me [03:33] xuekan: i would imagine its a theme for the OLD gdm and wont work in the New GDM that ubuntu is using === ubuntu is now known as ashiswin [03:33] ok egsome i was sure i did..weird..ok ill install in now from the repos [03:33] My NTFS partition seems to be corrupted.

I can mount the ubuntu partition but not the windows [03:33] zeltak, OK. [03:33] why are we talking with + and -? [03:33] thx egsome for the help [03:34] ashiswin: i hope you got backups made.. [03:34] Nope, i can't even use DD to image the partition === Pilif12p is now known as NeverForget [03:34] ashiswin: theres the 'dd_rescue' variant. that Might be able to. [03:34] but it says that the input file is invalid when i specify if=/dev/sda [03:34] tom_, After the problem happen, Can you pastebin the your X11 log ? `/var/log/Xorg.0.log` [03:34] zeltak, You're welcome. [03:35] Dr_Willis:it's this site,http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greete,are there any suitable theme for ubuntu now? [03:35] xuekan: i dont bother with trying to change my GDM login other then to change the wallpaper. Or perhaps tweak it a little bit with differnt fonts/color scheme. [03:35] Hi -- when I try to use the wireless in 10.04 it says "wireless is disabled" like the hardware switch has it disabled -- there is a switch but it is not disabled, other operating systems I've used on the computer haven't done this. Any ideas? [03:36] Dr_Willis, it says that the input file is invalid [03:36] can anyone recommend some cool desktop gadgets? Screenlets are a little dry for my liking [03:36] ashiswin: dd_rescue even says that? [03:36] yes [03:36] binary: google's gadgets work.. then opera can do gadgets.. and theres one or 2 other ways i recall. (i hate most all of them) [03:36] Dr_Willis, yes it does say that [03:37] ashiswin: if dd_rescue cant even read the sda (try sda1 instead?) then it may be unrecoverable.. try /dev/sda1 and see if it can read that [03:37] i did sda1 not sda [03:37] ashiswin: sounds bad... [03:37] even sda doesnt work Dr_Willis [03:38] dd_rescue normally trys very very hard to read the disks... [03:38] Dr_Willis:well,thank u ,I think i've got what i wanted. [03:38] but it only cannot mount sda1, sda5(the ubuntu partition) can be mounted Dr_Willis [03:38] although i cannot image sda5 as well [03:38] ashiswin: and sda5 may die at any time... (backup stuff from it fast i suggest) [03:39] Dr_Willis: i'll do that. but do u have any idea of how to save sda1? [03:39] ashiswin: not really. [03:39] I keep 'stacks of exteranl usb hard drives' for such backup emergancies.. [03:39] Dr_Willis: I am dead. i opened sda5, and went to home and it said home is not available. it may have been deleted === donostiarra is now known as Basque [03:39] I got a 1TB hd thats flakey like that also.. the first partition has issues.. the 2nd one seems to work. but i got it mounted to /media/JUNKdrive so i know not to put imprntant stuff on it.

[03:40] ashiswin: ive seen tricks to try to get them working such as putting them in the freezer and so forth...

[03:43] hey, can someone help me with xmms in maverick? [03:43] but Dr_Willis, even gparted doesnt detect the drive. it only detects my external portable drive [03:43] bdogg, #ubuntu+1 for that [03:43] ashiswin: could be the controller died on teh hd.. you could remove it and try it in a usb enclosure [03:43] are the ubuntu download servers slow for anyone else? [03:43] no one there [03:43] bdogg: actual xmms? or xmms2 ? [03:43] been waiting for like a long time [03:43] actual xmms [03:43] bdogg, then be patient.

[04:28] IdleOne: ircd [04:28] bazhang: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/7gtjCV5W [04:28] intmed: you may want to read up on 'irc basics' and learn the core irc related commands. [04:29] intmed: there are several packages with ircd in the name [04:29] it seems it is nvidia chipset [04:29] intmed: if you have an irc server running on local machine. you can connect to it with '/server localhost' command in most irc clients [04:29] IdleOne: I installed ircd-irc2 [04:29] I used to know so much bout linux.....:/ [04:30] ranthi: learn the fundamentals.. and you still do/will :) [04:30] just reading all these questions, I know that I once did know these things [04:30] intmed: ok now in terminal run: man ircd-irc2 [04:30] ranthi: memory is the second thing to go, i forget what the first is.. [04:31] like the nvidia question, i had the same problem at one time with ati [04:31] the problem was that the driver wasnt compiled into the kernel [04:31] ranthi: ati - tends to change radically every few months. :) [04:31] IdleOne: output is No manual entry for ircd-irc2 [04:31] Help: Need to run in low graphics mode to access ubuntu. Anybody could help contribute the command line to enter in grub or at recovery? Urgent thanks! I can't start up cos the gdm is screwed - my nvidia drivers aren't loaded in ubuntu. [04:31] intmed: you said you wanted to test a java irc client? [04:32] yes [04:32] bazhang saw my pastebin? [04:32] jongo, there is another way [04:32] how to make adduser not to limit username to latin letters? [04:32] intmed: with that client connect to the server: localhost [04:32] I personally think that always having something to learn is what makes Linux so interesting [04:32] intmed: if the server is installed and running, the client should be able to connect to it [04:33] IdleOne: it can connect but cannot list the channels [04:33] intmed: that is because there are no channels to list [04:33] oops..was testing to see if i remembered right [04:33] intmed: /join a channel [04:34] IdleOne: the output is 'Usage of /list for listing all channels is deprecated. Please use "/squery alis help" instead.' [04:34] but to the low graphics boot problem..just ctrl/alt/f2 or f1 and log in and change your conf [04:34] intmed: ok the answer is in the question :) use the command provided [04:34] then restart xorg [04:35] then if you have a more lightweight window manager you can even change your xorg conf [04:35] IdleOne: the standard command is /list to list all channels. so do i need to modify my program [04:36] to start that window manager instead till you get it figured out === brendan_ is now known as Guest27543 [04:37] intmed: the old way of getting a channel listing is rather outdated. on a server with 10000+ channels.. a /list often can flood off a client. So one rarely uses /list any more [04:37] is the guy or girl on that had a question on l.a.m.p? [04:37] intmed: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/irc-server.html [04:37] ok. [04:37] how to make adduser not to limit username to latin letters? [04:37] intmed: connect your client to freenode here and try a /list and see what happens [04:38] Dr_Willis: it lists all the channels [04:38] aside from 'ps ax | grep n[p]viewer.bin' what else can I run to revive sound? [04:39] nvidia drivers are yet to be installed. can't run ubuntu (blank screen). Need access to low graphics mode. how do I do that. [04:39] intmed: so it works.. [04:39] Dr_Willis: ok [04:40] Dr_Willis: it works...but floods the user [04:41] IdleOne: it takes some time to load the channel list [04:41] IdleOne: can i change the irc server port [04:42] intmed: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/irc-server.html that should help [04:42] Is anybody here used ns2?

[04:49] engidu: you can use vnc [04:49] real vnc? [04:49] Anyone know if Hauppauge 1199 works with Ubuntu? === Brady_Itkin_ is now known as Brady_Itkin [04:49] server console? [04:49] if you want a console, you can just ssh/putty in also [04:49] You can use SSH to connect to a remote shell. [04:50] whatever 'server condole' means. :) [04:50] engidu: vnc is a protocol, you can use realvnc to connect to the vino service which is part of a standard ubuntu install [04:50] console* [04:50] !hcl | keithclark [04:50] keithclark: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [04:50] It opens a new pty though, you can't use it to see what is on tty1 for instance. [04:50] awesome thank you [04:50] keithclark: depends what chi pit uses [04:50] chi pit? [04:50] chip it [04:50] engidu: depends what you want to do on the desktop, there may be a sleeker method than vnc [04:51] does anyone have a recomentadion in a irc server daemon i can run that is easy to set up? [04:51] engidu: also vnc is NOT secure so use an SSH tunnel [04:51] I use the free nxclient and server as a vnc replacement [04:51] I need a way to manage my files remotely essentialy [04:51] inteliwasp: depends on what you are going to do with the irc service to a large degree [04:51] engidu: sshfs [04:51] engidu, i just ssh..and sftp [04:51] Why XChat still inform me of new messages even if nobody said to me?

[04:52] engidu: ssh isn't just a terminal [04:52] no, sadly adduser ignores my regex and print long moronic message about that I should use letters etc in user name [04:52] Dr_Willis, good idea! [04:52] i didn't think you could ssh from a win prompt [04:52] inteliwasp: any irc server, or even bbs programs could do that. You can even get irc servers written in a few lines of perl. [04:52] engidu: install putty [04:52] btw is it possible to use keyboard selection in gnome-terminal? [04:52] engidu: putty.exe or use simthing similer. [04:52] engidu, they make a windows ssh program [04:53] ty again [04:53] Dr_Willis, yes i was hopeing for a recomendation [04:53] engidu: ssh also allows file access, remote X apps (install xming on windows for that) and the app will run on the server but display on the client system [04:54] inteliwasp: the ones in the repos are for more hardcore ussage. use one if you like. but you will want to read their docs.

I need to know good TV Tuner card for Ubuntu on a HP a1211n. [05:04] ActionParsnip: dumb question, but what shows that it has that priv [05:04] ffdsf: true but it may work [05:05] Thanks everyone. Have a goodnight. [05:05] Anyone use to setup server nic redundancy? I would like to bond two nic together using an etherchannel on my switch. If each of my interfaces are at 1Gbs, will I get 2Gbs of speed with this setup? [05:05] how do i setup my ifup wlan0 [05:05] MACscr: if you see an x character in the left groups it means executable, the first value is the type, then they are groups of 3 for owner, group and world [05:05] so i can connect in console [05:05] /etc/network/interfaces?

Is this possible ? === Rev is now known as Morphene [05:06] mohan1: yes. [05:07] MACscr: the its a directory (d character) and everybody has read write and execute access [05:07] mohan1: sure, each partition will be alogical partition in the extended [05:08] http://pastebin.com/McQKyTVe thats the error i get <--- [05:08] ActionParsnip, tonyyarusso, ok. I am not going to install windows7 onto my new 320 G harddisk.. so if i create another extended partition containing two partitions inside it.... then in those two, i can install windows onto it ? And can ubuntu installer make ntfs partitions ? [05:08] !bcm47xx [05:08] I would just love a personal endorsement of someone that has actually used a TV Tuner card with Ubuntu on a machine that is similar to a HP a1211n [05:08] ActionParsnip, tonyyarusso for my English, sorry. [05:08] mohan1: I don't remember if the installer can make NTFS partitions...it has no reason to. [05:08] hi [05:09] mohan1: just create empty partition and format it from w7 installer [05:09] mohan1, the live CD should have gparted or similar on it, which allows you to create partitions, etc. [05:09] windows tends to perfer to be on a primary partition. but Not sure with Win7 [05:09] mohan1, (including things like NTFS partitions) [05:09] can anyone help me install matlab? [05:10] I want to uninstall ubuntu 9.04 to install 10.4.1. How do I do that? Additional Info : Multibooting(XP & 7) using GRUB, quite new machine. [05:10] Windows 7 here. made a little primary partition for the win7's '/boot' equivilant, then the actual win7 install. both on primary parittions. [05:10] Sloth_Demon: What do you mean by uninstalling? [05:10] clausen, Thanks. ffdsf tonyyarusso thanks. [05:10] tensorpudding: Umm.. completely removing. [05:10] Sloth_Demon: delete the ubuntu partitions, its unionstalled. [05:10] Sloth_Demon: if you don't want to save anything from your old install, just start installing 10.4.1 and let it format the disks. [05:11] Can one's computer freeze? [05:11] Jantire: hmm? Computers can crash/lockup and freeze.. yes. [05:11] hey, im trying to run a program and it need libgtk-1.2.so.0, where am i supposed to get it from? [05:11] mohan1: you'll only have 1 extended with all the logical partitions you will need [05:11] No, freeze as in temperature wise [05:11] Jantire, of course [05:11] Would it still run after being frozen [05:11] Jantire: Never in a million years [05:11] gerinych: dpkg -S libgtk-1.2.so.0 [05:11] Jantire, it's called a water cooled system running a peltier [05:11] tensorpudding: Thanks. [05:12] One extended partitions for ubuntu's root,home,swap.. and another extended partition for windows' C, D .. Is this possible ? [05:12] Even if the temperature was kept at like -100 F? [05:12] It would still run? [05:12] can anyone tell me what extension play music videos on my car by a usb [05:12] Jantire, or there are even videos of liquid nitrogen cooled computers [05:12] Could someone help me with this Seg fualt error i get when running this Playstation emulator http://pastebin.com/McQKyTVe thats the error i get when trying to run it. [05:12] Jantire: sure, electronics have ideal conditions so they can be too cold [05:12] actionparsnip: says it's not found [05:12] Jantire, to be honest electronics work best the cooler they are [05:12] Thanks everyone & have a nice day.. (Now where did my USB stick go..) [05:12] Jantire, I think I've seen computers include "operating temp" spec's [05:12] piyushmishra, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB Tried this ? [05:12] f23: install ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:12] mohan1: you cannot have C &D on one partition obviously [05:12] Would it run better at -100 than 30 F [05:13] gerinych: ok then you probably need a symlink to libgtk-1.2.so [05:13] mohan1: yes [05:13] does the proces for bcm43xx work for bcm47xx? [05:13] ffdsf, My question is C,D partitions on one extended partition [05:13] Jantire, why would you? too much energy required to cool that far down [05:13] -100F would make some parts a bit brittle. :) [05:13] mohan1: you can use any disk layout providing the active partition is fat or ntfs [05:13] I'm just curious [05:13] mohan1: mine is an iso file. can you tell me how to mount that on my media? [05:14] Jantire, at anyrate check out youtube for super cooled computer [05:14] I have an unrelated question, is it simple to learn C++ from the perspective of an infrequent C# and Python coder? [05:14] piyushmishra,Right click on it> archive mounter [05:14] ActionParsnip, on my car i want to insert the usb to play videos music, i want to know what format extension should be? [05:14] gerinych: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=229457 [05:14] mohan1: let me try that and get back to you [05:15] f23: the extension doesnt mean much in linux. If you use mp3 or ogg you will be fine [05:15] ffdsf, My question is : Is C must be in separate primary or can be in a partition inside extended partition ? [05:15] Jantire, I think C++ is a bit more of a pain to learn === aaron__ is now known as sabot [05:15] Jantire, it is a rather complicated language [05:15] mohan1: how do I access it from terminal? [05:16] Jantire, but, like most things, when you start using it, you figure it out as you go [05:16] mohan1: some of the older versions of windows. the system drive had to be the first primary on the HD. [05:16] mohan1: windows 7 will make it's partition C whenever it's primary or logical [05:16] So would I need a book to learn or more of using the internet here and there [05:16] actionparsnip: no, i tried that [05:16] piyushmishra, run "df -h" which will show you the list of mounted drives. in that find your mounted iso and see the "mounted on" column [05:16] mohan1: but you need active primary partition in fat/ntfs at least 100 MB large [05:17] Jantire, You need a book to start, or you can use some websites like: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ [05:17] I am using Network Manager on the latest ubuntu. I am trying to connect to my home network, but I keep getting an error of " (wlan0): DHCP transaction took too long, stopping it.". This network works fine on windows machines, whats going on [05:17] ffdsf, you mean primary should be outside extended ? Sorry i am n0ob. :( [05:17] mohan1: I cant see it there :P [05:17] Jantire, #C++-basic would be useful for beginners [05:17] Dr_Willis, for windows7? [05:17] mohan1: yes, it should [05:18] mohan1: strange thing, I see it mounted on my window [05:18] hey is anyone here good with setting up port forwarding n stuff like that in ubuntu? [05:18] mohan1: on my win7 machine. it makes its own primary for its '/boot' equilivant. of like 100mb in size. then installs to a 2nd primary. [05:18] ActionParsnip, i have videos .flv and .avi and i want to convert all the videos to play on my car with the usb [05:18] mohan1: more precise: ou cannot have primary partitions inside extended [05:18] how to install wifi driver for bcm4727? [05:18] mohan1: aparently it dosent need the 'boot' partition. but its commonplace for win7 [05:18] SadCh0z: you can access your router?

[05:19] piyushmishra, if the iso is mounted, try "cd ~/.gvfs" and then "ls" .. [05:19] psycho_oreos, does it work for bcm47xx too? [05:19] piyushmishra: yeah i can access it. i'm just not familiar with the process. [05:19] SadCh0z, Describe your problem, So we can help. [05:19] At least tehres some good news on the broadcom driver front. aparently they are opensourceing more of their drivers. [05:19] DeathKnight, and yours is actually 4727? never heard, must be some really obscure numbering [05:19] ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd [05:19] gerinych: could try: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2000.1 /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0 may work [05:19] SadCh0z: ok loginto that you must see a port forwarding column [05:20] mohan1: yes I see the mounted iso [05:20] Dr_Willis, is this ok? One extended inside which i can install win7 later ? [05:20] eh.. [05:20] egsome: i just don't know how to forward ports atm. like, i'm trying to use the computer i just put ubuntu on as a server acessible from the web, like hosting a site. i have the site ready, and can acess the page thru the IP of the computer, but dont know how to forward ports. [05:20] piyushmishra, now try that ubuntu help page. [05:20] mohan1: i dont know if Win7 can install tio an extended or not. It might be able to. [05:20] mohan1: so to access it I must use the path ~/.gvfs/[disc] [05:20] piyushmishra, i think "If you mount it with archive mounter" [05:21] SadCh0z, You need to do so using your router. [05:21] mohan1: yes I did that k ty lemme check [05:21] hm. [05:21] mohan1: NO. you need an active partition for windows bootloader. logical partitions cannot be active [05:21] piyushmishra, Good luck! [05:21] SadCh0z, this might help: http://portforward.com/ [05:21] hello everyone [05:22] mohan1: you need to allocate a new PRIMARY partition and make it active [05:22] SadCh0z, It have a big list of routers, and the method of forwarding a port for each. [05:22] DeathKnight, in other words I have never heard of broadcrap using bcm47xx versioning for wireless chipsets, maybe its some dev release? have you mistyped? or are you not telling the whole story that it isn't exactly a wifi chipset but a combo like bcm5xxx series?

[05:52] yes [05:52] Dr_Willis: But I'll read the link you gave me. [05:52] niglop: you can't.You don't mount disks. You mount partitions [05:53] LinuxFetus: think of it as 'idiot proffing' [05:53] Proffing. :) [05:53] * Dr_Willis gives up spelling.. [05:53] s/Proffing/Proofing/ [05:54] LinuxFetus: if you got more then 4gb of ram. You will want 64bit for the most part. If less then 4gb. well. its not that big an issue. You do gain some speed from 64bit. [05:54] hello i am using ubuntu netbook remix on a eee pc 1016 i have some questions is there anybody to help [05:54] !ask | B4B4B0Z0R6 [05:54] B4B4B0Z0R6: 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. :-) [05:54] benchmarks on PAE kernels for over 4gb are lacking compared to a 64bit kernel also. [05:54] first microphone doesnt work i did the instructions in ubuntu website for eee pc 100 [05:54] 1005 [05:55] 64bit really helps audio and video encoding, and other such data transforms [05:55] but it doesnt work for me === Zain is now known as ExtremeDevilz [05:55] B4B4B0Z0R6: run alsamixer, make sure all sliders are cranked and not muted as well as the gnome app [05:55] and get ready for feedback [05:55] ive noticed video recoending times MUCH improved on 64bit :) and a properly confifgured ffmpeg. [05:56] what transcoder do you use Dr_Willis [05:57] LinuxFetus: poor flash support though [05:58] Dr_Willis: Yeah, because I don't think that Wubi/Ubuntu or whatever is smart enough (or at least wasn't) to not install a 64-bit version of itself on a computer with a 32-bit processor. A friend gave me an Ubuntu CD at the beginning of the year, and I tried to run it live on one of my 32-bit computers (not knowing that the CD I had was 64-bit. only). It wouldn't load (I didn't recognize the x86_64 error message it gave haha)... so [05:58] I tried to do the installation thingy from Windows... it went ahead and installed, and it gave me the option between choosing it and Windows at startup, even though it would never load... but yeah, that makes sense because a few users would get thoroughly frustrated if their 64 bit one wouldn't install properly... I only have 2 GB of RAM on this computer... [05:58] Emanon: ffmpeg for most all my needs [05:59] LinuxFetus: I for one feel that wubi sould just be removed... :) [05:59] Dr_Willis: i second this :) but this is because im an elitist bastard [05:59] can someone recommend gtk theme which isn't so large and gaudy as default ones? [05:59] * zen0- apologises for his potty mouth [06:00] i runned alsamixer [06:00] ffdsf: elementary [06:00] ffdsf: theres loads of themes in the repos not installed by default. check out the 'community' theme package. [06:00] and i unmuted all [06:00] ffdsf: and theres unofficial PPA theme archives with lots of them also. [06:00] but my microphone still not working [06:00] ffdsf: trying www.gnome-look.org [06:00] zen0-: When you say Flash isn't well supported, do you mean it has some bugs or it just flat-out doesn't work? [06:00] B4B4B0Z0R6: have you looked to make sure its selected in the sound menu [06:00] i like losing the bottom panel in favor of a dock un-expanding top panel and hiding both [06:00] how do i found out which partition my usb is mounted on? [06:01] ffdsf: the gnome-art and gnome-artng (or was it gnome-art-ng) tools let you browse/install themes from teh various gnome sites also [06:01] Dr_Willis, hey [06:01] the 64 bit flash was an alpha build [06:01] niglop: one way 'sudo fdisk -l' and see what devices are where. and check 'mount' command output also IF its allready mounted [06:01] naz: Moo? :) [06:01] LinuxFetus: 64bit flash for linux was offically dropped by adobe, so it doesnt get any security fixes or anything. On the other hadn you can use 32bit flash but for me at least it doesnt work well [06:01] Dr_Willis, i did it but i had Nouveau krn driver in use i let the nvidia installer disable it [06:01] so you got to choose between a rather crappy workaround to get the 32 bit on 64 or use the alpha stage 64 [06:02] Dr_Willis, niglop or just use the "Disk Utliity" application from the system menu [06:02] naz: that Nouveau has been a total disaster for my 3 nvidia systems. [06:02] anyone can help microphone doesnt work in netbook remix on eee pc 1016p [06:02] ? [06:02] LinuxFetus: for instance, some clickable objects in flash cant be clicked with 32bit flash. But this may just be my issue [06:02] B4B4B0Z0R6: this may be a silly question but do you have the proper mic selected in audio preferences, and then unmuted it in alsamixer? I've had things not show up in alsamixer until I had them configured properly in audio prefs [06:02] And flash is closed-source so there's no way for the open-source community to pick it up effectively? [06:02] zen0-: i think that bug has multi-causes. [06:02] no i have observed that to zen0- [06:02] Dr_Willis, during boot i got a error about a smb [06:02] [adam@tux ~]$ sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt [06:02] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [06:02] ??

[06:02] LinuxFetus: i have heard that theres a GPL flash replacement now that does work with YouTube. :) [06:02] LinuxFetus: there is an open source alternative to flash [06:03] it should works [06:03] niglop, ext4 ntfs fat32? [06:03] zen0-: But if they can't be clicked in 32-bit flash, then why would having a 32-bit OS make things better? [06:03] LinuxFetus: there are FOSS flash decoders but they arent very good [06:03] naz» not sure [06:03] Dr_Willis, Emanon: glad to know im not alone :) [06:03] it can be on a 32 bit system [06:03] Dr_Willis: Gnash supposedly works on youtube, but I haven't tried it myself [06:03] niglop, you can mount block devices... only the partitions on them [06:03] what are you trying to mount [06:03] but the 32 bit workaround for 64 bit breaks clicking sometimes [06:03] cant* [06:03] noisewaterphd: it doesn't [06:03] How do I get Ubuntu to not use fbcons at bootup and just use straight up simple text mode? I'm running ubuntu in kvm and it gets horribly painfully slow in virt-viewer because of how fbcons works specifically in Ubuntu. [06:03] airtonix» can you walk me through how to mount my usb [06:04] LinuxFetus: im just saying if your a bit of a nooby and dont want to mess around with flash, it may be better to use 32bit, that is if you dont have a lot of ram [06:04] niglop, 1. system menu 2. admin menu 3. Disk Utility [06:04] guys please i really need to use mic [06:04] zen0-: get the tgz package from adobe, remove all currenlty install flash and extrat the .so file to the newly created plugins directory ( ~/.mozilla/plugins) [06:04] LinuxFetus: hence why its a good idea for the Wubi installer :P [06:04] Dr_Willis, i got it to install successfully.... but i dont see a nvidia icon anywhere... how can i check to see if it is using the driver [06:04] airtonix» 1. i dont [06:04] niglop: it's really fast on command line [06:04] Psi-Jack: theres the 'text' option you can tell grub. but i also blacklisted the framebuffer module. :) [06:04] 2. [06:04] use gnome [06:04] iflema: that is how i installed it [06:04] Dr_Willis: How would I just flip that with Ubuntu's way of handling grub2 proper? [06:04] LinuxFetus: Flash works fine on 32bit, and I have a working compiled 64bit version I can give you if that is your problem [06:05] niglop, its expected that when you ask for help here without specifying the system you are using that is by default going to be : ubuntu 10.04 and gnome. [06:05] zen0-: and you havenoother versioninstalled?? [06:05] niglop, fdisk? [06:05] B4B4B0Z0R6: u check the pulseaudio sound manager in your tray? [06:05] iflema: im pretty sure, let me check [06:05] yes [06:05] k airtonix im in disk utility not what [06:05] Psi-Jack: edit /etc/default/grub and replace the 'quite whatever' entry with 'text' is what i do and rerun update-grub to make text' the default. [06:05] now* [06:05] LinuxFetus: I mean Adobe Flash works fine (or at least as good as it does on any other OS [06:05] cause sometimes the inputs or levels get switched around [06:05] noisewaterphd: If you have something that's working, then why isn't it in the repos or something? [06:05] niglop, it should be pretty obvious by now. [06:05] Psi-Jack: that disables plymouth AND gdm. but I think i also had to blacklist the fb16 module, [06:05] nop [06:05] Psi-Jack: let me find my notes [06:05] zen0-: if you did it that way thepackage manager should show none installed.... [06:06] Dr_Willis: Found it. I'm trying it now. [06:06] airtonix» it says its mounted but its not at the same spot as last time =s? [06:06] it was at /media/disk last time [06:06] niglop, your point ? [06:07] LinuxFetus: 32 bit should be in the repos, 64 bit got temporarily killed on *nix by adobe, but I hacked together my own working 64 bit. I can email you the binary as well as instructions on where to put it if you need it [06:07] Psi-Jack: i thinkit still tried the framebuffer console. Untill i blacklisted that module [06:07] Dr_Willis: Hmmm. [06:07] Dr_Willis: you're right! [06:07] Dr_Willis: It did still do that crap. :/ [06:07] iflema: yeah [06:07] *nix? [06:07] Psi-Jack: it should of stopped gdm, and plymoputh at least [06:07] noisewaterphd: *nix? [06:08] niglop, just click the partition and then click the blue text next to "mount point" [06:08] LinuxFetus: Linux/Unix/Solaris/FreeBSD [06:08] Psi-Jack: you did 'update-grub' after editing the file? [06:08] Dr_Willis: My vm's don't run those. [06:08] airtonix» Failed to execute child process "nautilus" (No such file or directory) [06:08] Dr_Willis: Yes [06:08] LinuxFetus: Mac is the only nix based os with an official 64 bit right now [06:08] Dr_Willis: What'd you do, blacklist fbcon? [06:08] niglop, or you can simply navigate to that path [06:08] yes but i want it in a different spot so my alias works properly [06:08] niglop, right click blue text [06:09] k [06:09] niglop, just learn to mount it in command line and you can put the folder wherever [06:09] extraclassic» thats what ive been trying to do but airtonix has just been telling me to use disk utility.. [06:09] Psi-Jack: i forget the module name.. it seems different on this 10.10 box. [06:10] LinuxFetus: if running 64 bit is your issue, just tell me where to send you the working version [06:10] Psi-Jack: i thought it was fb16vga or somthing like that for the framebuffer [06:10] niglop, do you really need to have a custom mount point ? [06:10] Dr_Willis: Well, I just blacklisted fbcon and vga16b, but it's still fricken doing it. [06:10] noisewaterphd: Can I /msg you? [06:10] Ahh, vga16fb, forgot the f. [06:10] LiuxFetus: if you are running 32bit you should be able to install directly from adobe, or I swear its in the repos [06:10] yes airtonix i have an alias in my bashrc that opens that folder when i type my command but its moved mount points and i dont want to change the script [06:10] LinuxFetus: sure [06:10] Psi-Jack: Interesting.. 10.10 dont seem to load that by default.. or else the nvidia driver install blacklisted it allready [06:11] Psi-Jack: but this is a Upgrade box.. it may kept my old blacklist file [06:11] Dr_Willis: Aha, spelling it right seems to have done the trick [06:11] Muuuuuch better! [06:11] I can LIVE with it now. :D [06:11] niglop, is the alias having random characters ? if so you need to give the volume a name so that the mountpoint has the same name as the volume [06:12] airtonix» the alias is set to /media/disk as the folder to open which was where it was mounted before [06:12] k the gwibber ppa fixed the problem thanks [06:12] extraclassic» can i help you [06:12] Psi-Jack: yea. i just login at console and do 'startx' these days :) [06:12] Psi-Jack: the framebuffer part is really an annoyance. on a live cd. the consoles dont work for me with the nveou drivers+framebuffer [06:12] i hit some button, sorry...tried to send a message to you to tell you what to do [06:13] lolz kk [06:13] Dr_Willis: I don't. My servers don't run X, except the bare-metal part, and usually only via VNC remote access through secure VPN. [06:13] niglop, all my usb volumes have standard fat partition volume names and therefore the mountpoint is automatically created based on that name [06:13] no idea about why mic oesnt work on eee pc 1016 [06:13] why buntu has not ut it in the wiki [06:13] Psi-Jack: yea. I couldent even get the 10.10 installer to display properly withoput some settings tweaks :() Progress! and bug reports filed :) [06:14] k is there a good graphical config tool for grub (like alter resolution, background and so forth) and also for the encryption passphrase entry screen [06:14] Emanon: startupmanager [06:15] Emanon: ive had startup manager break things.. i dont think it handles grub2 that well. [06:15] Dr_Willis: Heh. Eh, well. :) [06:15] Emanon: so i would backup your original configs befro trying ti [06:15] and any idea how to change the resolution on the encryption passphrase entry screen? [06:15] Dr_Willis, Emanon : didn't see it was for grub2, never tried it with grub2 [06:15] Dr_Willis: Most of my servers are actually running under kvm. The host OS I've moved to using f13 at the moment, but I still have ubu servers. :) [06:16] sorry i said grub you're right [06:16] meant grub2 [06:16] Given that grub2 is the default these days... :) [06:16] hey [06:16] Dr_Willis: yes but I'm still using grub1 [06:16] old grub = Grub legacy [06:16] Dr_Willis: Default? You mean, ONLY option? :p [06:16] hi, I am using Karmic and wish to try recent kernel. Can the kernels provided at ubuntu kernel-ppa be used in older Ubuntu releases? e.g. Can I install Maverick kernel into older Ubuntu releases? [06:16] on 10.10, Empathy is accidentally all my accounts [06:16] Dr_Willis: I tend to forget that grub2 is the default now [06:16] Psi-Jack: you can use grub1 still i recall.. someone was asking how to use LILO the other day in here.. (no idea why) [06:17] hey!! i was trying to open some video files but they show an error message like this --> "No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "wmas". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this." any thing i can do about this? [06:17] is there a workaround? [06:17] theos: you in america? [06:17] theos: sounds like its saying the WMAS codec is somting that vlc cant support.. (legal reasons?) [06:17] erm Dr_Willis donno [06:18] theos, check VLC's website [06:18] theos: stheres some hits about it at the vlc forums.. sure its not wmap ? [06:18] Emanon, no i am not in america [06:18] I recall having to install DVD CSS support through a deb file [06:18] cause if you know your country doesnt have problems with copyright on formats might try ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:18] theos: as far as I remember, I've never been able to read such files [06:19] theos: try the w32codecs pack and mplayer perhaps. [06:19] Glebelg, Dr_Willis , i have installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras but it didnt help. i get the same error [06:19] Dr_Willis, emanos: won't work [06:19] i was thinking if i could open these files with totem instead of mplayer [06:19] What really urks me right now is that under kvm, ubuntu doesn't get the reboot signals, but EVERY OTHER distro does just fine. [06:20] how to restart hybrid-ircd [06:20] how to restart hybrid-ircd [06:20] intmed: if its a normal service.. use the service command [06:20] 'sudo service whatever restart' [06:20] So, when shutting down the host OS, for any ubuntu-server's running it eventually has to force poweroff the ubu-servers. Which is NOT cool. [06:21] Dr_Willis, movie player says --> video/x-asf-unknown decoder [06:21] The playback of this movie requires a video/x-asf-unknown decoder plugin which is not installed. [06:21] you sure its a real video and not one of those fake ones *ahem* some sites use to get you to download malware? [06:22] asf is a Microsoft video container [06:22] Emanon, yes its 2 GBs of videos :/ [06:22] you assume it is anyway [06:22] container != video [06:22] :( [06:22] hi [06:23] thats what i mean [06:23] I was wanting to know if there is a way to sort data in OO.o Calc by text ? almost every other row my spreadsheet has a row with "Missing Box and/or Instructions" on it and was wanting to know if there is a way to put those rows at the bottom of the others? [06:23] Dr_Willis: that is not working. [06:23] intmed: assume people on IRC have the attention span of a Goldfish... whats not working... [06:24] theos: have you tried mplayer and the w32codec package? [06:24] Dr_Willis: cannot restart ircd-hybrid [06:25] Dr_Willis, not yet. but i will soon if i dont find a solution for movie player [06:25] whats the minimum ram for ubuntu to run [06:25] intmed: and whats the exact command line you used?

I've created one and when I do source ~/.bashrc, It works, but on initial connection, it's back to basic. How can I fix this? [06:28] She pay day [06:29] intmed: the service command has options for that. [06:29] intmed: I told you, it's "ircd-hybrid" not "hybrid-ircd" [06:29] intmed: service --help [06:29] I do belive the service command has tab completion support also (well bash does for it) [06:30] does ubuntu use initrd or initramfs for its startup image?

[06:43] maco: i guess the 3d isn't essential, although i would hate to go back from at least using the gpu for compositing [06:44] back to the dark ages so to speak [06:44] ipv5: heh hey i love the "dark ages" of tiling window managers ;-) [06:44] marlon: whatever.. [06:44] YOU started helping me.... [06:45] wizzzzzzard: you may have have a look at this : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/356768/comments/30 (it's from March 2010) [06:45] maco: boy i see that "tear the window down a piece at a time" stuff on a busy system anymore and it just makes me cringe [06:45] So anyone else have any suggestions about my sound not working? [06:45] marlon: file a bug? === sarah is now known as Guest15811 [06:46] Dr_Willis I've copied the default .bash_profile to my home and I am still having issues. The .bash_profile file has nothing but comments [06:46] Not sure. How do I check if it's not to hard to explain? [06:46] glebihan: hmm, looks like it's now built into the kernel. Archwiki documentation says so too anyway. [06:46] glebihan: say for a few bugs [06:46] marlon: run "ubuntu-bug -s audio" and itll guide you through filing an audio bug [06:47] Where do I type that in? - sorry, I am so new to this? [06:47] wizzzzzzard: since when ? [06:47] Dr_Willis Thanks for you help.. Googled about .bash_profile and this helped: http://joshstaiger.org/archives/2005/07/bash_profile_vs.html [06:47] Thank you so much though. [06:47] marlon: applications -> accessories -> terminal [06:47] marlon: or hit alt+f2 and type it in there [06:47] glebihan: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup#ath9k << unless my alcohol consumption is making me read wrong, it says .35 will house it === Guest15811 is now known as AEONFLUX [06:48] glebihan: I don't particularly have the card but I have a friend whom is installing linux for the first time, and this card seems to be extremely old. [06:48] earthmeLon: i tend to redo the profiles so much that i dont even recall what the default sare. [06:49] wizzzzzzard: yes, googling it a bit, I found issues with this card starting from 2004... [06:49] glebihan: yeah, but the last reported major bugs seem to be isolated aruond 2008, so i don't know if it's just a simple restricted driver set or if it requires something more. [06:49] glebihan: that'll learn him to not buy an intel or Cisco based card [06:50] hey everyone, i'm trying to install beryl 2.1 on lucid lynx. i added the lines suggested on http://tnlessone.wordpress.com/2007/03/17/upgrading-to-beryl-020/ so that synaptic would auto update it (and i could download beryl with apt-get), but i'm getting a 403 forbidden error from beryl-project.org. what's going on? [06:50] wizzzzzzard: its says here (http://georgia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9186420) that it's supported since 9.10 [06:50] sculptured: beryl is extremely outdated, have you considered compiz fusion? [06:50] glebihan: fantastico! gracias [06:50] wizzzzzzard: you're welcome [06:51] can i change the image that appears at the time of booting in ubuntu9.10?? [06:51] sculptured: beryl has been gobbled up by compiz.. theres no need for beryl that ive ever seen [06:51] where does gnome-session save session info? [06:51] wizzzzzzard: no i havent, in fact i didnt even know it existed. [06:51] Dr_Willis: okay, i'll look into compiz [06:51] sculptured: Beryl was merged with the Fusion project and became compiz fusion, installing beryl would be pretty much putting your X system into a highly unstable state. Check out Compiz instead. [06:51] can i change the image that appears at the time of booting in ubuntu9.10?? [06:51] sculptured: compiz is installed by default also === ord_ is now known as qwm [06:52] phanindra: you can change the boot splash by a couple different meathods but they do require some play with the grub configurations. [06:52] is it possible to string two commands together in your .bashrc as a single alias? what i'm trying to do is followed by with a single alias [06:52] vu1kan: command one && command two [06:52] Dr_Willis: do i have to install the manager or do i just have to find it? [06:52] wizzzzzzard: thanx much [06:52] vu1kan: example: "cd /home/user && ls -l" [06:53] ok [06:53] sculptured: its Installed by default... on a normal ubuntu system [06:53] sculptured: if your video card drivers support it. You are allready using it [06:53] !ccsm | sculptured [06:53] sculptured: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [06:53] wizzzzzzzzard:i have changed the boot splash, i want to change the white logo of ubuntu that appears before and after giving password to some other image [06:54] Using sudo always returns an error "sudo: must be setuid root" [06:55] ServerTechPro: is your user in the sudoers file? [06:55] wizzzzzzzzard:i have changed the boot splash theme, i want to change the white logo of ubuntu that appears before and after giving password to some other image [06:55] Dr_Willis: thank you, that's exactly what i wanted [06:55] wizzzzzzard, what do you mean [06:55] phanindra: that's your login screens theme isn't it then? [06:56] ServerTechPro: usually if sudo gives an error it's cos the user isn't authenticated to have sudoers access [06:56] hi I am trying to make an app launcher. its runs from the terminal can I make some launcher that doesnt need launcher? [06:56] ServerTechPro: verify that your user is listed in /etc/sudoers [06:56] ok [06:56] hello [06:57] piyushmishra: clarify what you are trying to launch... [06:57] How do I change which of my monitors is my default/primary desktop? I really want to move my panels onto my bigger monitor. [06:57] wizzzzzzzzard: yeah, at that time the white logo will be appearing right?? I want to change it to some other image. can i do that? [06:57] mkcpys: are you nvidia? [06:57] mkcpys: you can alt-click on the panels and drag them where you want. [06:57] mkcpys: the nvidia-settings tool has a check box for that option also. [06:57] what is the path/name of the file in which gnome-session saves my session [06:58] Dr_willis: I installed matlab and am trying to make a launcher for it [06:58] i cant log into other channels? This happens everytime i log in. Something with nickserve needing to identify my username but i dont remember how to do it? [06:58] dr_willis: its not in the default location so the file from ubuntu help doesnt work [06:58] mkcpys: if you're on nvidia run nvidia-settings under sudo or root and configure which device is the primary and which is the twinview. [06:58] wizzzzzzard, Only user previlege specification : root ALL=(ALL) ALL [06:58] piyushmishra: make a laumncher that runs /the/full/path/to/matlab [06:58] wizzzzzzard - No. I have ATI, but I'm using the default free drives and not the ATI drivers, because those drivers cause massive tearing on all video playback. [06:58] piyushmishra: where do you want to put your launcher ? [06:58] petersteele111: /msg nickserv identify [06:58] wizzzzzzzzard: yeah, at that time the white logo will be appearing right?? I want to change it to some other image. can i do that? [06:59] thanks thats the code i needed dago :) [06:59] petersteele111 "/msg NickServ identify " [06:59] Dr_willis: that closes as soon as it opens [06:59] piyushmishra: what closes? [06:59] petersteele111: course, you can create custom login screens. [06:59] glebihan: desktop/panel [06:59] piyushmishra: whats the exact command you use in the terminal to run matlab? [06:59] mkcpys: ah, well I'm not good with ati. I'm sorry. [06:59] dr_willis: the window for matlab. it remains open only when I run that file in terminal [06:59] piyushmishra: what command do you use when you run matlab ? [07:00] matlab [07:00] piyushmishra: perhaops it requiers a terminal to be open.. ive never used it.. [07:00] piyushmishra: you could make the launcher 'open in terminal' or run 'xterm -e matlab' also.. [07:00] wizzzzzzard - I don't think it matters which video card I'm using since I'm using the free drivers. (can't remember what they're called.) But I'm probably wrong.

[07:02] ServerTechPro: it should loook: USER_NAME ALL=(ALL) ALL [07:02] dr_willis: yes it works can I make that work via a launcher file or something? [07:02] ServerTechPro: where username represents your user [07:02] wizzzzzzard, I dont have admin in User settings, its not letting me authenticate [07:03] ServerTechPro: that would do it too, the gui end just puts you in sudoers [07:03] how can i use root to use User settings [07:03] piyushmishra: you can make a script and the launcher can run the script if you wanted. [07:03] ServerTechPro: do you have another user naem that was generated when you installed ubuntu? [07:03] where can i find the fire-like effect used in the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRWLfY7hMgQ?

[07:04] dr_willis: how to do that? should i google it? [07:04] Does anyone have a lucid-style monochrome menu icon for Xchat? [07:04] wizzzzzzard, I guess the user previlege is shown as custom [07:04] piyushmishra: make a script? bash scripting fundamentals. [07:04] !abs | piyushmishra [07:04] piyushmishra: Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide, obtainable with ${package-manager} install abs-guide, is a quick and comprehensive guide to bash (command line) scripting in *nix systems. It is also viewable via web at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [07:04] Dr_Willis: thank you [07:04] wizzzzzzard, I need to change it to admin, but its not letting me authenticate [07:04] wizzzzzzard, can i use root [07:04] piyushmishra: example script = 2 lines.. #!/bin/bash matlab & [07:05] piyushmishra: you can try using "gnome-terminal --command='matlab'" as the launcher's command [07:05] piyushmishra: but i cant imagine WHY that would work and not running matlib directly [07:05] ServerTechPro: are you using another user beyond what was set up on install, though? Cos usually your default is set sudoers authenticated... And root can be used, but you'd need to be able to access sudoers before that's an option really. [07:05] hey how do i re register my nickname again please i know there was a channel to go to [07:05] bbl [07:05] ServerTechPro: an unahtenticated user cannot gain access without su'ing to a user with proper permissions [07:05] wizzzzzzard, i have many users [07:05] wizzzzzzard, i think it is not recognising my user as an admin [07:06] ServerTechPro: I'd go to your first user; your initial one from install, and set your current user as admin/sudoers [07:06] wizzzzzzard, so i need to use root to change it somehow [07:06] but that first user imean [07:06] * i mean [07:06] su - [07:06] glebihan: it also keeps the terminal open [07:06] does not have admin [07:06] Dr_willis lemme try ur script once [07:06] guys how do I run a vistual studio under wine [07:06] ExtremeDevilz: Get a shrine of mayan gods and pray. [07:06] one min. [07:06] let me try [07:07] piyushmishra: yes, if matlab needs a terminal (for some weird reason), it will stay opened as long as matlab is running [07:07] i mean you need something like chmod [07:07] alright, I'm out of here [07:07] glebihan: thanks for lookin' that up, ServerTechPro good luck [07:08] can someone please tell me how to register my nickname again? [07:08] its not recognizing my crap when i send identify to NickServe [07:08] dr_willis: the sh script died in the same way [07:09] another question, what's a solid macro program? i'd prefer something akin to autohotkey but i'd settle with just keyboard and click macros [07:09] nickserv not nickserve [07:09] oh lol [07:09] thanks [07:09] thank you im stupid tonight [07:11] So, does anyone thing that there is a way to make my bigger monitor my primary monitor in Ubuntu aside from changing the plugs out or installing the ATI Radeon drivers? [07:12] mkcpys: Can't you do this in System->Preferences->Monitors ? [07:12] mkcpys: alt-click on the panels and drag them over to the other monitor [07:12] No. It doesn't give the option to change which monitor is the primary (thus, which monitor has the panels and opens windows on it by default, etc.) [07:13] Dr_Willis -- What are you some kind of genius ???!!!???!!! [07:13] again, can anyone direct me towards a good macroing program? i'd prefer something similar to autohotkey, but i'll settle for just keyboard/mouse support [07:13] I am trying to clean up my SSD. when I use the disk usage analyzer it says that I have used 16.5 GB and have 11.6GB available, but when I scan my filesystem, it only shows 4.9 GB of size...where is the difference coming in? [07:14] Dr_Willis - I guess so, you're a doctor. Thanks. That just did it I think [07:14] friar: doesn't 16.5 - 11.6 = 4.9? [07:15] oh wait [07:15] never mind, I misread [07:15] quiescens.....ok. [07:15] what are you using to scan the usage or whatever [07:16] I'm using the disk usage analyzer in Applications -> accessories [07:16] if you just mean the scan home button, that only lists the contents of your home directory [07:16] it is a 30GB drive with 2GB swap on it. then rest is / [07:16] whereas the initial "used" amount is overall disk usage [07:16] I scan the whole file system though. [07:17] mkcpys: i mentioned the alt-click-drag thing some time ago. :) People never listen to their doctors. [07:18] mkcpys: that did NOT make the monitors primary.. it just moved the panels. You can have panels on both monitors [07:18] i don't know for sure, it could be that a lot is being taken up in directories your user doesn't have direct access to [07:18] mkcpys: GDM will still appear on the other monitor [07:19] well, I'm getting closer...I just cleared out my wife's .wine folder (we used to use rosetta stone) and that cleared out like 3.8GB. There is still quite a disparity between the 12.4 used and 15.7 availabe, and the file system scan showing that it only has 4.9 used. [07:20] Dr_Willis - Sorry, I missed it. [07:20] might i be missing a trash folder or something? [07:20] Dr_Willis - What is GDM ? [07:20] mkcpys: your LOGIN screen [07:20] GDM/KDM/other DM's [07:20] Dr_Willis - Well, that's ok. [07:21] friar: you can try alt-f2, gksudo baobab [07:21] which should run the disk usage analyzer as root [07:21] so that you can see how much is taken up, not just in files that your current user has access to [07:22] I see where the problem is....my wife's .local trash folder....I think. [07:22] Dr_Willis I also notice that certain pop-ups still pop up on the other monitor - regardless of where their parent window is. That's slightly annoying. [07:23] damn, its telling some bug, it shows im an admin [07:23] ill report it [07:23] that would be why it doesn't show up for you by default, because you don't have access to other users' home directories ordinarily [07:23] quiescens, it doesn't show it all, but I [07:24] * ExtremeDevilz is going back to windows [07:24] * I'll get to the bottom of it. I have a script that I run on my account that empties my trash...I'll just add my wife's to it. [07:24] on an unrelated question, baobab, how did the disk usage analyzer end up being called baobab [07:24] and use the sudo to ge tit. [07:26] quiescens, ha, my wife has 7GB of trash in ~/.local/Trash!!!! [07:26] I just added that to my little script and everything is much better now. [07:26] friar: i've never really liked those trash cans [07:26] lol [07:27] they are so hidden. and since i only have 30GB due to cost of SSD, space is at a premium for me. [07:27] do you know of any other trash areas that I might be missing? [07:28] did running baobab as root not help? [07:28] nope. [07:28] strange [07:28] In my terminal i was getting errors about not being able to read the .directories in her home folder. [07:28] and since that is where the trash is, i couldn't read it. [07:29] I don't see why it wouldn't be able to as root [07:29] me neither, but it didn't. [07:29] mkcpys: so swap cabels.. or use the ati drivers.. i cant imagine why you dont want to use the ati drivers.. [07:29] I guess the program doesn't work well as root [07:30] at worst you can use: sudo du / [07:30] but that will be really really messy [07:30] quiescens, the only error i was getting was about the .gvfs folder. [07:31] a few of the .directories showed up in the scan, but not many. [07:31] Hi [07:31] Is there anyone use ubuntu-minimal === iVIM2 is now known as iVIM3 [07:31] Dr_Willis - When I use the ATI drivers I can't figure how to stop the massive tearing in video playback. I've tried everything I could think of, and much of what others have suggested. [07:32] mkcpys: I dont use ati any more.. all i can suggest that if using compiz enable that 'sync to blank' option. that removed mosta ll the tearing ive seen in my video playback === ord_ is now known as qwm [07:32] Im so used to video tearing - i rarely even notice it. in videos.. now in games.. yes. i do notice it [07:33] Dr_Willis: Yeah, I've tried that. To be honest, I don't see why I need to use the drivers. [07:33] friar: actually I really don't know why it doesn't show all files when running as root === The_Thing is now known as Sleeping_Thing [07:34] .gvfs is fine, because that's a special mount point and doesn't contain regular files as such, but it still seems to miss a lot [07:34] Is there anyone having used Ubuntu-minimal? [07:34] Can any one help me with getting my wireless card and driver running my laptop dorsent have an ethernet plug so it is being a big pain [07:35] quiescens, I would think that especially the .local/Trash would be one that would work. [07:37] friar: I guess the default disk usage analyzer has some sort of filtering because when I run it with gksudo it thinks /home has 4.3mb [07:37] friar: maybe it only counts files owned by the user or something [07:37] Good evening, all. I have a (hopefully) quick question: I just installed ubuntu 10.04 desktop edition on a server that I got from work. It's installed just fine, but I can't seem to connect to the internet and open a web page. I can ping google, and I'm able to use empathy to chat with another user on my network. Has anyone seen this type of problem before? [07:38] quiescens, could be. whatever it is, it can be annoying. [07:38] does anybody know what i need to do for fixing "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgio-2.0". i cant compile any program. [07:38] mkcpys: the way ati works.. in 6 mo they will remove your card from their supported drivers list.. so you wont be able to anyway [07:38] if I had 1TB it wouldn't be a problem, but with 30GB you have to keep things clean. [07:38] In the network connections notification area, there are 2 arrows, one pointing up, on pointing down. [07:38] is it possible to see what initramfs.conf a pre-built initrd image is built with? I'm trying to put together my own initrd image for bootup [07:38] friar: one moment, trying something [07:38] does anyone know about ID3v2 [07:39] friar: you could install gdmap and try running that with gksudo === zoom is now known as Guest81676 [07:41] can anyone help me with an xorg.conf issue? I had one, now i dont. The computer still work- but i need to edit my xorg.conf to setup a dual monitor, and i cant find it- because its not in /etc/x11/ [07:41] quiescens, thanks...looks like it is scanning everything, but not quite as easy to read the output at the buit in tool. [07:42] I bet if I knew more about it i could find a way to format the output of gdmap the same way that the build in analyzer does it. [07:42] SubCool: and your video chipset is? [07:42] intel/ati i think [07:43] i'm having a look around for alternatives anyway just because I agree its silly that the default doesn't actually show everything [07:43] SubCool: you have both an ATI video card and a Intel video card? [07:43] friar: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-analyze-your-disk-usage-pattern-in-linux/ [07:43] a couple possibilities there [07:43] i know i have intel- im just not sure if there is an ati onboard, im prettys ure there is. - Intel chipset.. [07:43] probably dual switching in a laptop? [07:43] SubCool: so you are usng an onboard video card with a PCI/whatever ati card? [07:44] with gdmap you can double click to focus on the aqua hilighted part and go down a directory at a time if that helps [07:44] no, its a laptop-. i cant remember if there is an onboard ati GPU chipset- how do i grep to find out? [07:45] i looked it up online, but i just want to make sure. [07:45] SubCool: 'lspci' [07:45] lspci | grep vga (or VGA) or was it Vga ? [07:45] i forget the 'ignore case option' to grep.. :( [07:45] -i [07:46] quiescens, in gdmap, if you double click on something it will enlarge that folder, for instance if you double click where the /home folder is, you can see the dfferent users, and can then go into their directories....actually wiht a bit of work it is cool. [07:46] Thats why i forget it.. its too logical to rember. :) [07:46] so have they figured out the freezing in 10.04? [07:46] VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Mobility Radeon X300] -knew it [07:46] hahha i just saw that you wrote the same thing. [07:46] both my wife and I have a lot of stuff in .thumbnails...do you know what that is for? [07:46] SubCool: the Monitors settings tool in the system menu dosent let you enable both displays? How abouyt the laptops special FN keys? [07:47] malv: what freezing ? [07:47] it does, it just freaks out when i set it up. [07:47] the freezing mentioned in the forums with over 100k views and over 1000 posts [07:47] friar: most likely thumbnail caching for nautilus [07:47] i havent been able to get it once [07:48] hi [07:48] SubCool: could be its a feature the open sourced ati driver dont support fully yet. [07:48] IMO it is having primary moniotr issues [07:48] ah...I see. I guess it isn't too much...I have 150MB and so does my wife. If I can't handle useing 300MB for somthing like that, then I have bigger problems. [07:48] its trying to clone a mirror [07:49] Is there someone who know Samba and WINs well. I stuck in a problem with it. [07:49] friar: something like: find ~/.thumbnails -type f -atime +7 -exec rm {} \; [07:49] i need to edit the xorg- i just cant find it [07:49] ol [07:49] lol [07:49] SubCool: err.. make it.. [07:49] could be useful, that one would delete any thumbnail that hasn't been accessed in 7 days [07:49] SubCool: try. Xorg -configure [07:49] SubCool: X auto confuigrues - a Xorg.conf is normally not needed except ins pecial cases [07:49] i was afraid to- i thought i could run a wizard.. [07:49] SubCool: my Intel laptop does 2 monitors without a xorg.conf, the nvidia systems i got have one with their twinview settings in it [07:50] quiescens, I think I'll take the hit on 300 MB. it isn't crazy. if things get unwieldy I'll definitely have a look at reducing the size of that folder, but for now I'm on. [07:50] Dr_Willis: Now if I could just figure out how to get my USB Mic interface to work with Alsa/Audacity. It shows up, but doesn't work. You don't happen to know anything about that do ya? [07:50] *ok. [07:50] Dr_Willis: Its better works with xorg.conf [07:50] Fatal server error: [07:50] Server is already active for display 0 [07:50] Dr_Willis: more stable [07:50] I really like this gdmap tool now. thanks for the tip. [07:50] nvidia is better than intel [07:50] known- [07:50] ok, so i just removed a bunch of packages using apt-get remove packagename, but then realized i need to get rid of all the configs as well. Anyway for me to do that after the fact? [07:50] mkcpys: not really. onlyh mics i use are built in to the webcam ont he laptops [07:51] MACscr: you can remove/purge them afterwards and it should get rid of the configs. [07:51] MACscr: sudo aptitude purge ~c [07:51] MACscr: i recall ubuntu-tweak having a thing for that also. [07:51] MACscr: ~c means "all removed but not purged packages" [07:51] SubCool: BUt using nvidia you have to use special nvidia program to tune the card [07:51] ya, but thats because nvidia is too lazy to support all the hassle [07:51] Is there someone who know Samba and WINs well. I stuck in a problem with it. [07:52] ? [07:52] wish i could help- having same issue, against Win 7- machines being a brat [07:52] besogon: state the issue and see what happens [07:52] hi i have the following situation. i have a wireless broadband modem connected to one of my laptops and I have a wifi router. I want to connect my Wifi router to my laptop and share the wireless broadband connection with other devices in my house. can anyone guide me? [07:52] Dr_Willis, i have to log out into console? [07:53] SubCool: perhaps. ive not needed to generate an xorg.conf in years.. [07:53] haha- ok. how do i log out completed? but to a terminal prompt? [07:54] SubCool: sudo service gdm stop [07:54] lol k- brb [07:55] SubCool: Dr_Willis, I have 2 network eth0 (interanal subnet) and eth1 (external net). I have checked in smb.conf "wins support = yes " to make samba be WINS. but [07:55] SubCool: Dr_Willis, according to http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/tdb.html === ServerTechPro is now known as ServerTech|Lapto [07:56] hey how do you start apache server on ubuntu 10.04 [07:56] SubCool: Dr_Willis, I should have got wins.tdb and wins.dat file and I haven't. Also I can't ping computers in external network from subnet [07:56] I don't know what is it. === ServerTech|Lapto is now known as ServerTec [07:56] besogon: you mean ping by name? or ping by ip# ? === ServerTec is now known as ServerTech|Lapto [07:56] Can it be a bag? [07:56] Dr_Willis: yes [07:57] err.. yes to what part? :) [07:57] nvm === ServerTech|Lapto is now known as ServerTec [07:57] Dr_Willis: But I can see workgroups and master browsers NetBIOS names al the same [07:57] how do you get the colored names? stupid question i know [07:57] petersteele111: what colored names? [07:57] Dr_Willis: I can ping by IP [07:58] petersteele111: its a feature of your IRC client. (highlighting) [07:58] Dr_Willis: but not NetBIOS [07:58] ok [07:58] besogon: Im not sure that wins does let you ping by hostname.. ive never seen it work that. i always edit my /etc/hosts to have the proper name/ip so i can ping via hostname [07:58] besogon: been wanting to ask about that in #samba someday.. but never gotten around to it [07:59] Now on a windows machine.. yes.. I can ping by that name.. :) which suprised me [08:00] Been fighting with a few machines and samba for the last few months here also. === ServerTechPro is now known as ServerTec [08:00] besogon, dr_willis: you will want to look at /etc/nsswitch.conf === ServerTec is now known as ServerTechLaptop [08:01] hello to all, is there a bandwidth meter for ubuntu ? [08:01] Nice comment in the file ---> for more info see --> info libc "Name Service Switch" [08:02] Dr_Willis: I heard that samba WINs and Windows WINs are not compatible. It can be the reason but I don't sure [08:02] :) [08:02] besogon: my issue is i have one 'nas' that works if i access it via ip. OR its name.. but its not showing up on any machine when they show machines on the network. :) [08:02] quiescens: I know about it. I checked it properly and ping in subnet works fine but not ping through the gateway [08:03] Hmm.. the info page given in the config file.. dosent seem to mention the actual config file. :) [08:04] I need to configure a ubuntu 10.04 installation to automaticly login as a user and I like to make sure that the user doesnt need to use any passwords to log in and operate the system. I know how to do automatic login for the account. But, the default keyring unlocking is teasing me - can anyone point me to some documentation for for doing this. [08:04] Four2zero: you can use conky :) highly customizable desktop system status stuff (including cpu usage, mem usage, b/w usage, temps (with the right hardware/drivers), and much much more!) [08:05] olegb: dont set a password for the default keyring.. and it wont ask [08:05] Four2zero: http://conky.sourceforge.net/ (had to make sure they were at the same site <_<) [08:05] ceil420, i just need bandwidth for ubuntu-server. [08:05] any others besides conkey ? [08:05] olegb: when it asks for a password the first time. just hit enter and confirm the 'use unsafe storage' option [08:05] olegb: if one is set. change the password to be blank [08:05] Dr_Willis: the problem then is it seems to forget the passwords for wifi networks [08:05] Four2zero: i dunno, that's just the only one i've ever used [08:05] besogon: if you have multiple subnets worth you'll need to make sure that one system is used as the wins server and then use dhcp or whatever to set that system as the wins server for all the systems involved [08:05] Four2zero, depends if you need to see bandwidth in use now or a history of use ? [08:06] olegb: really? it rembers them here [08:06] preferbally in use [08:06] olegb: it even auto connects to the one at home. no clicking needed [08:06] Dr_Willis: OK, could be a local problem - i'll try again. Tanks alot! [08:06] Four2zero, bandwidthd will give you html outputs containing graph images showing history of usage by IP and jnettop or IPtstate will show you bandwidth used now [08:06] quiescens: Actually I'm trying to set network in a class in a university. [08:07] olegb: i wonder if it could be a wireless serucity thing. [08:07] Four2zero: you could have conky only report b/w if you like :p [08:07] Four2zero: gotta admit, airtonix's solution sounds cooler tho :p [08:07] !info ntop [08:07] ntop (source: ntop): display network usage in web browser. In component universe, is optional. Version 3:3.3-13 (lucid), package size 2556 kB, installed size 10724 kB [08:07] ntop displays so much stuff its scary :) === JoshuaP is now known as thatjoshdood [08:07] nop is not easy to setup [08:07] ntop* [08:08] quiescens: the network (eth1(DHCP+ windows WINs) -->Ubuntu(DHCP Realy, samba WINS) --> class [08:08] airtonix u mean jnettop [08:08] will check both them utilities out [08:08] Four2zero, no jnettop is dead easy to use its the bandwidth version of htop [08:09] Four2zero: some people like "system monitor" in the system>administration menu from gnome. [08:09] Four2zero, Dr_Willis i've also noticed that ntop is a daemon which (for me at least ) decides to eat most of my cpu cycles [08:09] Dr_Willis: yes, could be a wifi issue - I'll try to look further into it, thanks for your help :-) [08:09] besogon: i take it they don't have a wins server that you can just point at [08:10] quiescens: class is located on interface eth0. And I have access from eth1 to eth0 fully, but in eth0 network I can see only workgroups in eth1 and ping by IP. [08:11] besogon: firstly, make sure that the ubuntu system in the middle can lookup by name using nmblookup, and you have it set with wins support = yes as you've said [08:11] wow, System Monitor will do....sending 1.1MiB/s [08:11] slow [08:11] When I press up arrow on command line this shows > ^[[A ? :-P am a noob [08:11] besogon: you'll need to make it so that the dhcp relay adds on a parameter so that the systems behind it use it as a wins server [08:12] Where are the previous commands ..? [08:12] quiescens: ubuntu can look all. and "wins support = yes" was set too. [08:12] jibs: sounds liek the terminal is in some odd mode. thats the escape keys for the arrows [08:12] jibs: perhaps try 'reset' command and see if it works. [08:12] besogon: yeah, so the ubuntu box is acting as a wins server, but the rest of the systems don't technically know that [08:12] jibs: you are using bash correct? [08:13] Yup .. think so ! Dr_Willis [08:13] quiescens: dhcp3-relay didn't work for me (I don't know why) I use dhcp-helper. I can't change dhcp info [08:13] And how do we change back to default prompt - "[\\u@\\h]" , right ? [08:14] quiescens: may be you are right. I heard that Samba WINs and Windows Wins are not compatibe [08:14] My ANNOYING nas i got - for some reason is giving an ip of 192.168.1.255 when i 'nmblookup nas' any ideas on that? My samba-fu is weak [08:15] windows can be configured to use samba's WINS server [08:15] its not giving any other ip#. unlike the other samba box;s :( [08:15] besogon: the only problem is that at the moment, if you go to one of the windows systems and type ipconfig /all in a command prompt, it will not have a WINS server listed [08:15] Dr_Willis, why would it be giving a broadcast address as its IP? [08:16] besogon: you need to find some way of setting that appropriately [08:16] Dr_Willis, I wouldn't trust that, and therefore would do an nmap ping scan of your local network to find all the machines and their IP addresses [08:17] airtonix: well that first line is the broadcast.. it shoudl give a 2nd line as its ip#. its not doing that.. [08:17] besogon: either by overriding it on each system individually or by having the relay change the dhcp parameters to add the WINS server [08:17] Dr_Willis, zenmap gui for gnome makes various nmap tasks easy [08:18] besogon: possibly other ways too, but those are the ones I can think of off-hand [08:18] $ nmblookup blacklaptop---> querying blacklaptop on 192.168.1.255 --> 192.168.1.22 blacklaptop<00> [08:18] Dr_Willis, yes but that relies on something in the NAS that is obviously not working properly (layer 7) [08:18] airtonix: i know its ip. :) its set staically to 192.168.1.19 - but its aparently not brodcasting that info when asked. [08:18] I get error "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgio-2.0" everytime I try to compile any program. I searched around and apparently I need to have "libgio-fam", but that is already installed. Any guesses? [08:19] Dr_Willis, i assume you can't telnet to the thing ? === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [08:19] airtonix: yea. thats what im trying to figure out. Its a 'simple.net' nas. that just shares 2 hard drives.. I can ssh to it and get to its smb.conf :) but i dont see anything odd in its settings [08:19] annd, i'll be afk for a bit [08:19] Dr_Willis, (you'd be able to find out if you did a nmap scan on it) [08:19] airtonix: so I can get to it. :) [08:19] airtonix: right i can nmap and find it. If i enter the smb://192.168.1.19/ it does work [08:20] but it never shows up on the scans of the lan by any other machines. [08:20] quiescens: In eth0 (internal network) I set WIN server to ubuntu IP address. I didn't help me. [08:20] quiescens: It didn't help me. * [08:20] enli: libglib2.0-dev [08:20] how do i modify grub2 in ubuntu 10.04 [08:20] ?? [08:20] Dr_Willis, i think nmbd and winbind are the processes that deal with advertising win names (check they are running) [08:20] I think smb://nas only works because i got nas in the hosts file [08:21] . [08:21] Dr_Willis, i would also investigate installing avahi in the device so you don't have to bother with WINS [08:22] Dr_Willis, did you check your client machine [08:22] !grub2 > Adzy [08:22] Adzy, please see my private message [08:22] Strange that #samba chanell is so silent and we have to discussion it here [08:22] your firewall could be blocking smb broadcasts, you won't be needin WINS server to see it on the network [08:22] ilovefairuz: Thanks, it was installed previously.. reinstallation fixed the problem. What would be the reason? [08:22] airtonix: its a embeded 'thing' about the size of a deck of cards. $50 - it cant really be tweaked like that. (that ive seen so far) [08:22] shame [08:23] WINS is such fail. [08:23] airtonix: it does have nmbd running. but i see no winbind on it.. cant even find a winbind binary on it. (yet) [08:23] morning pepz [08:23] Dr_Willis, you also want to check that you're allowing all the required ports for SMB protocol to work [08:24] enli: perhaps it wasn't registered in the linker cache (ldconfig) [08:24] Dr_Willis, 135-139, 445, one other i forget [08:24] airtonix: wht gets me is Sometimes - the thing does show up... every once in a great while [08:24] ilovefairuz: that makes sense, thanks [08:25] Dr_Willis, does it show up when you use the command smbtree ? [08:25] how secure is a ssh tunnel compared to a vpn connection? [08:25] hi. the additional drivers program can't find my ati 5770 graphics card [08:25] EmLeX, enough :) [08:25] airtonix: no it does not. and findsmb gives... [08:25] EmLeX, it depends what encryption uses your vpn [08:26] airtonix: 192.168.100.253 unknown nis name [08:26] I'm using a live usb and I'd like to set/change its password. The default password is blank, but its not allowing me to change the password? [08:26] airtonix: which is part of the 'nmblookup' issue i was noticeing also. [08:26] EmLeX: both relay on an TLS/SSL layer [08:26] I dont know where that ip# is comming from on the NAS [08:26] its openvpn [08:27] i've try to configure the php and mysql and install torrentflux and it still doesnt work any idea why ? [08:27] Dr_Willis, i don't know enough about samba and your device to know whats going on [08:27] airtonix: yea. its a bit beyond my samba level also. the silly thing is supposed to be just plug in and it works. [08:27] willinja: er, you'd have to provide more info as to what's going wrong than that. [08:28] Dr_Willis, maybe you can change the FlashRom and use something else [08:28] well i ve install the php using $ sudo aptitude install apache2 [08:28] $ sudo aptitude install php5 [08:28] $ sudo aptitude install mysql-server [08:28] $ sudo aptitude install php5-mysql [08:28] willinja: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:29] Dr_Willis: this might help on samba: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=309 [08:29] airtonix: well i can alter the thing a little.. it has like 64mb for its OS. but its most of the way full. ive no way to do much other then alter what configs i find. and theres not much hacking info on it.. yet. :) [08:29] then i sudo apt-get install torrentflux [08:29] Dr_Willis: see about samba ports in Backgraund Info of the page http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/integrate-ms-networks.html [08:30] besogon: been readuing up on all teh docs.. im not sure if its an acutal samba config issue.. or some other odd networking config issue on this thing. [08:30] the more pc's advance.. the harder it seems to be to get samba working right on them [08:30] years ago i could have samba going fine. :) [08:31] Dr_Willis: At least you aren't messing with a mac trying to get samba shares working on it.... it makes regular implementations of Samba look like cake. [08:32] DagoRed: yea. what gets me - this gizmo DOES work.. works decently well.. its just not seen when scanning.. [08:32] Hello! Can anyone give me advice on why ubuntu is running mega slow when installed on dual boot system but when i use VMware it runs fine??/ anyideas? [08:32] Adzy: did you use Wubi? [08:33] DagoRed: Hmm. I think i discovered a hidden bittorrent service on it. :) [08:33] Dr_Willis: You mean your machine isn't seen by a windows machine? [08:33] i installed vista, then used ubuntu live cd to partition then install... === [styx] is now known as JackInTheBox_ [08:33] DagoRed: its not seen when network neightborhood, or findsmb, or smbree, or nautilus scan for it.. [08:34] DagoRed: BUT every so often. it does show up. === JackInTheBox_ is now known as [styx] [08:34] heres info on the gizmoo -> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r24228293-Equipment-Hitachi-SimpleNET-NAS-Head-USB-20-Portable-Dongle [08:34] for $50 (or less) it can share 2 usb hard drives to the LAN [08:34] Adzy: You probably have driver issue. VMware and Virtualbox have a install thing for guest additions that optimizes them for the VM. When running off the hardware directly you will need to make sure you are using the proper drivers. [08:35] Adzy: alt + f2, then type 'gnome-system-monitor' and check around to see what's consuming CPU or RAM [08:35] Dr_Willis: That isn't too uncommon, I'm assuming you're on a primarily windows network? [08:35] thanks ilovarfairux ill try that.. ill have to re boot cause i cant get it to pick up my wireless network usb either! === jimisrvrox_ is now known as jimisrvrox [08:36] 有国人么？ [08:36] !cn | yinyulong [08:36] yinyulong: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [08:36] how do i install new hardware when it doesnt pick it up automatically? [08:36] DagoRed: got 2 win machines, 2 linux box's and 2 laptops that can switch :) [08:37] hello i have installed kubuntu latest version,when i will tyr to connect internet via mobile phone(nokia) ,gives respons as not connected,how i can resolved [08:37] Adzy: do you have a wired connection? [08:37] thanks [08:37] no ;( [08:37] yes [08:37] otherwise i woulda used it! [08:37] hi [08:37] hi [08:38] andy,how i will resolved my problem [08:38] Dr_Willis: That explains a lot. There's something about windows network groups that aren't managed by a domain controller that run into issues with finding other computers constantly. If you set up a domain server I'm sure all your issues should be fixed, but I'm sure it's not worth the effort. [08:39] Dr_Willis, i managed to get my windows drive up and running again. and through windows, it seems my ubuntu is fine :) [08:39] hello i have installed kubuntu latest version,when i will tyr to connect internet via mobile phone(nokia) ,gives respons as not connected,how i can resolved [08:39] ok well ill go see wheats lagging my system n get back to yaz :D [08:39] i've got an issue with 10.04... after a recent update, i can't pin point wich one but i've trilled rolling back to an older kernel and it didn't fix it, when i try to suspend my computer hangs and never gets into suspend it just stays on and the only way out is to hold down the power button [08:39] ashiswin[happy]: that was the one that was dieing? [08:39] Adzy: identify the modem by typing in a terminal: lsusb .. but you'll probably need a wired connection anyway to install updates [08:39] hello i have installed kubuntu latest version,when i will tyr to connect internet via mobile phone(nokia) ,gives respons as not connected,how i can resolved [08:39] hi [08:39] Yes Dr_Willis. both were dying now they work :) [08:40] ashiswin[happy]: i would be doing some backups ... real fast [08:40] ashiswin[happy]: or dod you find a bad cable?

Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! === ashiswin[happy] is now known as ashiswin [08:41] bethebunny: Makes sense, you need new python extensions for Tkinter in version 3. My advice, don't use python 3.x yet and stick to 2.6. [08:41] Dr_Willis, 2.80 load average :( [08:41] Darthfett: you can make a /etc/fstab entry for it to mount it automatcilly [08:41] cable [08:41] Darthfett: Look up fstab and ntfs. [08:42] cool, thanks [08:42] what up room [08:42] Does 64-bit Ubuntu have any issues with Skype? [08:42] airtonix: yea. i noticed it getting warm. but i got it hanging off a shelf where it gets lots of air. wife watches videos from the gizmo constantly now that i got her player to see it via ip# [08:42] But I have to say Dr_Willis, thanks for the help :) [08:42] i use ubuntu x64 [08:42] and i have skype [08:43] Dr_Willis, if i had one i would be making a custom box for it so i could put a copper heatsink on the cpu [08:43] airtonix: load average here is 2.69 it seems [08:43] DagoRed: There seems to be a lot of reluctance to switch in the community, but I much prefer python3. Why do you think people are so hesitant? (I solved my problem, apparently there's a separate python3-tk package). [08:43] hello i have installed kubuntu latest version,when i will tyr to connect internet via mobile phone(nokia) ,gives respons as not connected,how i can resolved [08:43] room: torrent client of choice? [08:43] ihatelindsayloha: use what you like. with the features you want. [08:43] ihatelindsayloha: most any of them can do the basics just fine [08:44] please an one can solve [08:44] Proxy ARP. Does someone hear of it? [08:44] well i like tixati and deluge...i was asking your opinion on what you like [08:44] IWhat is the default shell in ubuntu dash or bash? [08:44] bethebunny: Main reason is that the switch killed a lot of my own code. Also when working with languages that rely on a virtual machine or interpretor people tend to be much more reluctant to switch because they have to get the foundation for the software to work. [08:44] frobisher: bash for users, dash for shell scripts that call /bin/sh. [08:44] frobisher: default USER shell is bash.. system shell is 'dash' [08:45] thank you rww [08:45] hello i have installed kubuntu latest version,when i will tyr to connect internet via mobile phone(nokia) ,gives respons as not connected,how i can resolved [08:45] So, if i go into ctrl-alt-f1, i'm using dash not bash? [08:45] bethebunny: Plus... when it comes to people like me (computer hardware developers) or long time software developers, we tend to enjoy playing with stuff that is stable and works. The only reason to jump is due to lack of support. [08:45] anurag: if you are going to just repeate.. you may want to correct the spelling mistakes. :) [08:45] tethering with a nokia? [08:45] ^ [08:46] ashiswin: no, you're using bash, because you're presumably a user and not a shell script. [08:46] have you tried google or youtube for the answer? [08:46] ah ok thanks rww [08:46] DagoRed: I see, but I would have thought that the 2to3 tool would fix most of this. I recognise that many of the python3 features are implemented in python2, but there are some that are extremely hard to pass up, like set/dict comprehensions. [08:46] !google | ihatelindsayloha [08:46] ihatelindsayloha: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [08:46] Is it possible to set my default user shell to dash rww? [08:46] DagoRed: Ah, I imagine hardware development is a much different bag :) [08:47] google-fu ?

[08:52] huh> [08:53] bethebunny: You are missing out, with matplot lib you essentially have a python version of matlab that just screams in terms of performance. [08:53] i do that, but whenever I start up the computer it says i have like 53 updates and 91 security updates, or something like that [08:53] duckwars: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is what upgrades the whole distro to a newer version if available [08:53] have you tried the gui? [08:53] i can't access the gui [08:53] dist-upgrade can also be needed if stuff is held back for some reasons [08:53] and does that still happen? [08:54] duckwars: you can update/upgrade from the console. or over ssh if you need to [08:54] duckwars: then use the command [08:54] duckwars: sudo apt-get upgrate [08:54] ahhh, i kept doing update not upgrade, thanks gusy [08:54] ilovefairuz: dist-upgradedoesn't upgrade to newer distro release [08:54] duckwars: the upadate option don't install updates [08:55] DagoRed: I will likely look into this over the next few months, since I have a few classes in which it is relevant :) Thanks for the help/advice!

[09:06] ilovefairuz, thx though. i wonder why devs wrote that it is supported "14e4:4318 supported BCM4318 b/g G b43" [09:06] ilovefairuz: i dident really read much of #'s - i dont own any broadcom wireless at this time [09:06] tacomaster: you do have a wired network? [09:07] mlqstup: wrote where? [09:07] in the chart [09:07] Dr_Willis: no but i have another computer and a usb drive if that helps? [09:07] tacomaster: well you MAY be able to configure your wireless by hand with the proper commands.. but ive not done that in ages [09:07] tacomaster: dare we ask why you removed network manager and switched to wicd? === oracle_ is now known as oracle [09:08] ilovefairuz, http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Known_PCI_devices [09:08] because someone told me it was better [09:08] mlqstup: well a lot of features are working just not master mode on this particular chipset [09:08] tacomaster: so network manager was working ? [09:08] Hello, how can i install vim 7.3... ? [09:08] yea it was working [09:08] yessir_turan: find a ppa or the latest version. or compile from source. [09:09] tacomaster: why isent wicd working.. it should work just as well. [09:09] Dr_Willis: Thanks. [09:09] "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" [09:10] Dr_Willis: it says auth and then it goes to obtain ip address and fails to obtain a ip then i went to type in a ip that i know is in the subnetmask and then it wont even talk to the router then [09:10] yessir_turan: why do you really need 7.3 :) i doubt if theres any major new features.. (i notice ubuntu 10.10 has 7.2) [09:10] yessir_turan: you could search the PPAs [09:10] !ppa | yessir_turan [09:10] yessir_turan: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[09:10] tacomaster: but thats often a bit confuseing.. i alway shave to find some guides to do it [09:11] tacomaster: at least wireless was working.. so it should work if you just configure it right [09:11] if someone msgs you in irssi? how do you find out? [09:11] that's something i don't know [09:11] Dr_Willis: do you know any sites to configure wireless by command line [09:12] tacomaster: id have to google for them. last diretions i followed i think were from the archlinux wiki's :) [09:12] tacomaster: most directions should be rather Distro-non-specific [09:12] tacomaster: wireless cards can be eth0, (or eth1) or other names, ath0, or wlan0 or .. (proberly others) thats somthing thats often confuseing to people [09:12] if someone msgs you in irssi? how do you know?

Also, the program Aegisub can load and play the file fine (it's a portable version) [10:15] anyone know an app for ubuntu that works with sql(postgres specifically) and can draw me nice graphs(for exmaple i write a query that outputs x,y and it plots them and shows the distribution) [10:15] zerwas: they have exceptional video processing infrastructure and I'm guessing they do some restoration work on your video [10:16] zerwas: you could upload to youtube and redownload it from there [10:16] ilovefairuz> yeah that was my plan. but then i remembered that youtube immediately deletes videos longer than 15 minutes [10:16] thank you very much for your help, everybody.

[10:19] Friar: System->Administration->Login Screen [10:19] tacomaster, glad you got it going [10:19] Is there an option "Replacing existing Linux" in the 10.04 installer (or in the new 10.10 beta) ?

[10:24] tacomaster, installing wicd removes network manager as far as I recall, usually sett ing things in the terminal will remove either as an issue [10:24] Seek for Eclipse Carbon Edition. I failed downloading it from offical site all the time. [10:24] justcc, pay software? [10:24] bazhang, free software. [10:24] What is Glib unchecked box in compiz-config settings?

[10:48] *help [10:48] ellie: and does 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up && iwlist scan' shows any networks? [10:48] sriramoman: the tool simply doesn't know enough information to generate a configuration file for a completely different, random type of boot scenario that will depend on an external disk. [10:48] mheath: i am IN the same system, only that i am booting from an external hardisk for rescue [10:48] so does it matter, mheath [10:48] ellie, check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=982808......This [10:49] sriramoman: the grub configuration file, however, is a text file. You can edit it, and find the documentation on the internet that will tell you how to manually create it and edit it as required. [10:49] sriramoman: yes. update-grub won't work for you, if I'm understanding your situation correctly. [10:50] oh fine, mheath. if u could pls tell me the config file name alone (thats generated) then i can check documentation in internet [10:50] sriramoman: /boot/grub/grub.cfg [10:50] Would someone useing apt-cacher-ng check their /var/log/apt-cacher-ng directory and tell me the permissions of it. For some reason apt-cacher-ng here cant access the directory, (says to check permissions) [10:51] thanks [10:51] solved guys [10:51] i don't know how [10:51] ellie, good to hear :) [10:51] and when [10:51] bazhang, Dr_Willis and ilovefairuz: Just FYI: With an updated mplayer and mencoder the file playes fine. [10:51] or after what.. [10:52] ellie: you pressed the enable wifi button in your laptop by mistake ;P [10:52] no ....really? [10:52] erUSUL, :D [10:52] what a geek... [10:52] however thank you guys [10:52] if you ever pass from scotland [10:53] i'll offer the best coffee [10:53] in italian style [10:53] coffe in scotland ??? Are you joking ???? [10:53] the wifi kill switch drivers in recent kernels are acting strange [10:53] what about scotch and Ale ?? :D [10:53] eheheh [10:53] i'm not scottish [10:53] >D [10:53] ok bye now [10:53] cool ellie [10:54] bye [10:59] Hello [11:00] hello [11:00] hi [11:01] ¡ollǝɥ [11:02] <|ns|nR8> /quit [11:02] unicode test: ółźżćń [11:04] does anyone know of a home-level UPS that can automatically shut down ubuntu in event of a power outage? [11:04] home-level meaning consumer level [11:05] Benom1: i think ive seen them in stores. the APC brand i think. they are pretty common with a USB port on them. [11:05] I recall there being some APC Demon. but ive never used it [11:05] Hello, I have downloaded the latest ubuntu (not beta), does it offer btrfs as an install option? [11:05] awesome. Thanks Dr Willis.. i'll check out the APC brand. [11:05] apcupsd - APC UPS Power Management (daemon) [11:05] apcupsd-cgi - APC UPS Power Management (web interface) [11:06] Akiva_Abraham: - nope. [11:06] legend :) thanks [11:06] Ichat: ext4 then? [11:06] Akiva_Abraham: - yep [11:06] anybody know any good power saving tools for ubuntu, want to save as much power as possible when running on battery [11:06] Ibertech: use a terminal instead of X :) Try powertop [11:07] lol [11:07] Ibertech: uninstall flash! [11:07] jrib: but if you use terminal remember to disable cursor blinking ;P [11:07] Ichat: am I able to set my /home/uses/music do a different disk? I dont want my music taking up precious space on my new ssd. [11:07] erUSUL: ha [11:08] Akiva_Abraham: yeah, just mount a different partition there or use a symlink [11:08] jrib, I can do that in the install right? [11:09] hello comrades, i have a server set up on my lan but i'm trying to use the external ip to connect to it [11:09] Akiva_Abraham: well not the symlink method, you would create that afterwards. The first method I said would only work for you if you plan on having a separate partition for your music [11:10] that is i can connect on 192.168.foo.bar but not on ipv4:port [11:10] kneaux: if you have a router, they usual don't let you do that for whatever reason [11:10] jrib: Well that is inevitable when using a different disk, isnt it? I am not planning to jbod it~ [11:11] really? that was my whole plan [11:11] port forwarding and such [11:11] kneaux: I mean they don't let you access it internally (at least my verizon-provided one doesn't and I never looked into why). People outside your lan can still get to it if you setup port forwarding and such [11:11] oh [11:12] okay [11:12] Akiva_Abraham: - i dont wish to be harsh but all your questions are anwsered in the install manual.. [11:12] in other words i should test from somewhere else [11:12] hello all, I'm looking for an alternate of Ekahau HeatMapper: http://www.ekahau.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=102&Itemid=91 for Lucid, is there something?! [11:12] Ichat: thats you, right? [11:12] lol [11:13] Akiva_Abraham: well, say you have / as your ssd and you have some other partition mounted on /notssd. You can have a symlink for /home/aki/music to /notssd/music. And you could also have some other stuff on that non-ssd partition this way. Like, for example, /home/aki/docs could be a symlink to /notssd/docs, etc [11:13] hmmm, ok thanks [11:14] Perhaps someday i can afford a SSD.. [11:15] antivirtel: kismet or netstumbler? [11:16] Akiva_Abraham: - just one tip... in the installer use manual install to partition your drives. - op "/" on ssd and put /var /tmp swap on notssd [11:16] ziroday they can make me some graph?! [11:16] kneaux: your question is ambiguous (for me at least) are you trying to make a server accessible from outside the router or to make it non-accessible ? [11:17] antivirtel: not a graph, but you can use the xml output to turn it into one [11:17] Ichat besides youtube flv.... ohh is it to save data integrity? so it lasts longer? [11:17] kneaux: port forwarding will make it accessible to you and everyone else and should working in most cases, port knocking on the other hand will keep it "hidden" but it's not as straight forward to setyp [11:18] ziroday in to one what?! [11:18] antivirtel: graph [11:18] kneaux, keep in mind though..to port forward you will have to setup the pc with a static ip [11:18] kneaux_: to setup ** [11:19] kneaux_: ranthi: not necessarily a static ip, you could use a dynamic dns service [11:19] well, i had to set mine up to be static [11:19] or it wouldnt even give me the option to port forward [11:20] hmm thx ziroday [11:20] ubuntu [11:21] i suppose though its not really static in a sense..more of address reservation for that mac address [11:23] My router has the same feature . reserved ip based on mac.. better then 'static' ip's in ways. :) [11:24] i set teh wireless ip's to be at a higher range then the wired ip's that way i can tell whats connected/up/wired/wireless easier [11:24] i havent messed with xorg that much..i guess a little..but not as much as i should have i guess but here is my question [11:25] i read that ubuntu attempts to autodetect all the hardware and attached peripherals [11:25] is there a program in the repositories or already with ubuntu that would let you generate an xorg.conf file based off of what was detected? [11:26] ranthi: actually i think its X thats doing the detection, not really a ubuntu feature. but an X feature [11:26] ranthi: "X -configure" generates a xorg.conf === Low- is now known as Low-Sleepz [11:27] dr and gleb, i understand..and so..will that --configure only put in the conf what was detected or a bunch of unnecessary stuff? [11:27] ranthi: it is then stored in "/root", so to use it, just move it to /etc/X11 [11:28] ranthi: it should only put the necessary configuration for your hardware [11:28] ranthi: unless you need to modify something, you don't need to generate one [11:28] ok, i will give it a shot and see what it puts in there..also gonna have another question about video [11:28] which is why i want to generate one [11:29] ranthi: it's usually a better idea to just ask about what you want to accomplish in the end :) [11:30] hi [11:30] which package does this file belong to? [11:30] /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/packagekit/backend.py [11:30] X has to be shutdown to do configure? [11:30] apt-file find cant find it...? [11:30] buntfalke: dpkg -S /path/to/file will show [11:30] oCean_: ah - good idea - thanks [11:30] dpkg: /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/packagekit/backend.py nicht gefunden. <-- "not found" [11:31] buntfalke: apt-file search packagekit/backend.py since that file is generated... [11:31] ah, yes [11:31] jrib: oh, okay. thanks. [11:31] ranthi: yes, or you can run it with another display, with "X -configure :1" for example [11:31] jrib, well..i honestly cant remember this specific command used but besides the fact i want to refamiliarize myself with things.. [11:32] ranthi: k, just realize that there's really not much point in an xorg.conf these days [11:32] i need to verify my video is working properly with opengl [11:32] jrib: by the way, do you have any idea where the configuration that used to go in xorg.conf is now located ? [11:33] glebihan: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config [11:33] Where is the contents of the file (table) ~/.ssh/known_hosts explained? [11:34] jrib: ok thanks [11:35] there we go..got the conf file [11:35] thanks [11:35] bullgard4: ssh and sshd man pages [11:35] also, incase i want to do some remote admin..and because im lazy and dont want to look it up [11:35] jrib: I will have a look. Thank you. [11:36] what is the ssh flag to run X through it so you can remote run X programs? [11:36] jrib: so basically, there are no more configuration files, unless you overwrite values in xorg.conf or xorg.conf.d, right ? [11:36] glebihan: yeah [11:37] jrib: thanks, had never been able to find someone to give me a clear answer on this [11:38] gleb, its not really that there are no more conf files...there are always conf files if you want them..for instance [11:39] if you are insane like I am and decide one day you want to slim down the kernel to only have the drivers available for your hardware [11:40] you might want to have that conf file.. [11:40] ranthi, does that save a lot of memory? [11:40] glebihan: well there are still a lot of files that you could call "configuration files" (like initially hal fdi files, and now I think most of the stuff has moved to udev rules), but you're right that there's no xorg.conf by default. And as you said, you can still create an xorg.conf and configure X that way [11:41] ariqz, have you ever played with gentoo? man..you can slim down that kernel to leave almost no footprint so yeah..its eventually not a bad idea [11:41] what number is drwxr-xr-x for permissions? I've changed a folder recursively to 766 and this is what it was: drwxr-xr-x. [11:41] ranthi, no, I haven't played with gentoo [11:41] but only for an either very experienced or very crazy person [11:41] It is my ~/Music folder. [11:41] ranthi: yes, I got that but for most (non insane) users, there's no need to do that [11:42] Friar: 766 is as you said. You can use "stat" if you want the octal representation of a file's permissions for some reason [11:42] ranthi, you could always download the kernel source for ubuntu and compile that though :) [11:42] jrib: yes, I should have a closer look at udev some time [11:42] Friar: sorry, that's wrong. What you wrote is 755 [11:42] !permissions > Friar [11:42] Friar, please see my private message [11:42] ok. thanks [11:42] gleb, thats true..but personally..i found it a lot of fun. you learn an awful lot during the process [11:43] jrib, I'm trying to use sound juicer to rip a cd. but it gives me a permission denied for creating a folder. [11:43] gleb, you can also mess alot of things up too..:/ [11:43] ranthi: I agree, I myself like to mess up with things like that :) [11:43] so I tried to make it 766, but that didn't work... [11:43] hi everyone, i have a quick question about failing a drive in mdadm [11:43] Friar: paste "ls -ld" of the directory in question [11:43] does anyone here have some expertise in this? [11:43] Werner_: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [11:43] I compiled my ubuntu kernel because I needed to patch it to get packet injection working ;) [11:43] Werner_: sure [11:44] gleb, it has been a long long time since i went through that bootstrap to window manager process though..i have forgotten so much..trying to get back into it [11:44] really, I find that easier than dealing with all my other ubuntu issues, like getting restricted drivers to work properly [11:44] jrib, drwxr-xr-x 17 nathan nathan 4096 2010-09-11 10:55 [11:44] Friar: what directory is that? And what's the exact error from the application? Are you running the application as nathan? [11:44] I just changed it back to 755. [11:45] ranthi: same thing for me, and things have changed a lot in the past years [11:45] it is the ~/Music directory [11:45] yes I am running it as nathan [11:45] ok. My problem is that one of my drives in my mdadm raid 5 array (ubuntu server ofcourse) is failing. I checked in smartctl which basicly said that the drive will die in 24 hours. Now mdadm is resyncing currently. and all drives are active in the array, I want to avoid potential problems and simply mark that drive as failed and remove it from the array so i can later replace it. Is it safe to mark a drive failed during resync? [11:45] A thousand lines - someone called... [11:45] all other drives are reported working correctly under smartctl [11:46] who help me to connect canon printer with teamviewer program? [11:46] hi Im using Scream to edit html and it keeps crashing any ideas ? are there better html editors than scream to try out ? whats emacs like I have that installed,, it looks kinda clunky,, [11:46] hi [11:46] Werner_: wait.....why is it rsyncing? [11:46] !ask marukaz_ [11:46] ariqz, you know what though..I find doing that to be awesome..you learn where things are how they work, what you can/cant change..far better than a fire and forget way of doing it [11:46] marukaz_, Mate - the local machine connects to the printer - not the Teamviewer program [11:46] !ask [11:46] 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. :-) === ismail is now known as Guest59833 [11:46] hi [11:47] !ask who help me to connect canon printer with teamviewer program?

[11:50] hey how do i shut down from command line [11:50] kneaux_: sudo shutdown now [11:50] kneaux_: sudo shutdown -hP now [11:50] Werner_, what does the P do [11:50] Werner_: i'd let it finish, since if you lose two disks in raid5 you lose the array, if it's resyncing to the disk that you're not going to yank and you pull it before its done you'll have problems [11:51] does anyone know why recordmydesktop takes so long to encode the video? It's like it's only encoding on one of my two CPU cores ... [11:51] marukaz_, Do you want some help setting this printer up? [11:51] cast: but it seems only 1 drive is the problem?

[11:53] Werner_, well with a lot of machines the -h actually brings it down [11:53] when I boot the system from the live cd I see the "ubuntu" intro page with very a small font size. However, when I run the installed distro, I see the same page with bigger fonts. Is there any way I can reduce the size of the font in the introductory ubuntu page? I mean the part with the 5 dots that change color every second [11:53] but many it doesn't [11:53] Hi, my ubuntu Karmic show black screen after upgrading the AIT drivers. any idea what I can do?

'halt' [11:55] does anyone know why recordmydesktop takes so long to encode the video? It's like it's only encoding on one of my two CPU cores ... [11:55] mbn_18, you will only be able to see it using an ls -la [11:55] erghezi: do those programs run with a system tray icon ? [11:55] sprung: I cant loging. main screen black + cant ssh from laptop. [11:55] How do I start it in shell mode? init3? [11:55] mbn_18, ask somebody else [11:56] thanks [11:56] mbn_18: use recovery mode from the grub menu [11:56] and the banana goes to ilovefairuz [11:56] glebihan: yes [11:57] ilovefairuz: you're right, just used to shutdown as it offers possibility to use timeout and things like that [11:57] glebihan: i can run them manually, but they fail to run at login === disco is now known as Crovax [11:57] jrib: Sadly I dont have that entery for the latest Kernel. Is it possible to start it manualy? using params of some sort? === Crovax is now known as Cr0vax [11:57] now, where's the best place to hit a macbook with a ballpeen hammer [11:57] erghezi: well, you should check, but I think the programs run, but without the icon [11:57] mbn_18: that's standard on ubuntu's kernels, are you using something else? === Cr0vax is now known as TheLord [11:58] erghezi: this happens with some programs because they try to create an icon before the gnome panel is ready [11:58] * kneaux_ points to thelord === kneaux_ is now known as kneaux [11:58] jrib: Nope. I recently moved my system to software raid and created a new Grub record. Now I regret I didnt created a recovery too [11:58] erghezi: one workaround would be to set a timeout before starting those programs [11:58] mbn_18: and you don't have older kernels with it? [11:58] Though I wonder whats the diffrent. it might be param on;ly [11:59] jrib: Have, but they point to the old FS [11:59] mbn_18, software raid is not as good as hardware RAID [11:59] just FYI [11:59] glebihan: Yes, but I should be able to see it on the desktop if it actually runs! [11:59] sprung: depend on many thing. though hard raid cost allot [11:59] mbn_18, not really [12:00] erghezi: well maybe they crash if they fail to create the icon [12:00] mbn_18, i mean what is "a lot" to you? [12:00] sprung: that depends. often software raid is much better [12:00] mbn_18: looking at my grub.cfg, looks like they just add "ro single" http://pastebin.com/twfJyYA8 [12:00] $100 [12:00] sprung: infact some organisations only use software raid [12:00] i know a $120 motherboard will have hardware RAID on it [12:00] sprung: and I dont mean the crappy card that emulate hardware raid [12:00] or rather, i know several models that cost that much that have raid on them [12:00] sprung: its software [12:00] hello everyone [12:01] mbn_18, that didn't make any sense [12:01] hi, what about here? [12:01] * Dr_Willis raids his flash drives. [12:01] jrib: will try now [12:01] !hi | s-visor [12:01] s-visor: 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! [12:01] mbn_18, i think you are confusing hardware RAID and having a hot-swappable backplane or something. hardware raid is hardware raid. [12:01] sprung: All the cheap raid cards are kind software raid [12:01] sprung: mbn_18: there's dmraid which is crappy software raid on hardware. and theres mdadm pure software raid which you can move to every computer. hardware raid is almost always faster but not neccesarily better [12:02] sprung: go ask #linux-raid [12:02] dmraid -> fakeraid [12:02] mbn_18, you're having a fundamental misunderstanding. [12:02] mbn_18, Werner_ explains it almost like i would say it [12:02] only i would say lol @ your crappy software raid [12:02] glebihan: but when i enter manual, program run correctly without any crash [12:02] do not want [12:03] erghezi: yes, that's because the gnome panel is loaded and ready [12:03] hey guys? I have problem with updating my sources on 10.04 :( [12:03] erghezi: try the timeout thing, I think it should work [12:03] erghezi: some applications need a delay befor they get 'autostarted' for example the conky faq/guides mention about a 15 sec delay befor starting conky [12:03] Bottom line as I undestand this. the cheap "hardware raid cards" are actualy software. though again, ask at #linux-raid [12:04] mbn_18, if it is something that you can actually touch, and its sole function is RAID, that's called "hardware" therefore it's a hardware RAID [12:05] so a single chip raid. that has a 3000mb driver file to do the actial raid... :) is the same as a raid system that dosent need any drivers? [12:05] software RAID is this crappy idea where somebody thought they could make the buggy linux filesystem (at the time) redundant, further complicating the issue if there is a problem [12:05] Im thinking this raid ramblings may need to go to #linux-raid soon [12:06] Dr_Willis: First ill fix my fglrx problem then ill continue this debate :) [12:07] Dr_Willis, your raid question was too vague to answer, and i suspect was intentionally so [12:07] #raid-ranting [12:07] :) [12:07] you got your hard-raid, semi-hard-raid and then theres the soft-raid like cheeses ? [12:08] Ill shut up now. [12:08] Dr_Willis, that was dirty somehow [12:08] Dr_Willis, are you drunk?

IRC spam. [12:41] i installed the "gadmin-proftpd" now? [12:41] erUSUL, thanks!

[12:42] JuJuBee: maybe better help in #ubuntu-server [12:42] k [12:42] yes [12:43] Stefanos90: on the "Servers" tab, you should have a Default server in the list [12:44] it says 0.0.0.0 [12:44] Stefanos90: yes, that's normal, select it and scroll down until you find "Upload speed" [12:44] About the FAKE RAID issue. pls read: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto#What%20is%20fakeRAID? and http://serverfault.com/questions/9244/how-do-i-differentiate-fake-raid-from-real-raid [12:44] Stefanos90: Set both "upload speed" and "download speed" to max values [12:45] which is the max? it has as default 250 [12:46] Stefanos90: just enter "10000000000", and it'll set to max when you leave the box [12:46] done [12:46] Stefanos90: click "apply" and switch to "Users" tab [12:47] done [12:48] Stefanos90: now you're going to create a new user : fill the username, password and group fields (the user can be an already existing one of the system) [12:48] Stefanos90: then click "New user" [12:50] Missing ftp home directory.

[12:57] all the magic happens in initrd [12:58] cast, no I mean I need to install it into an EXISTING volume group [12:58] cast, I do know that Ubuntu supports encrypted LVM setups, the problem is that I ve managed for whatever reason to trash my root filesystem. [12:58] an install is just a set of files, you can pretty much just extract a tarball and it'll suffice to 'install' [12:59] cast, yeah but how do I get the tar file? [12:59] cast, or how do I get the installer to install into an already mounted filesystem? [12:59] well, nowdays you'd use debootstrap :) [13:00] cast, well, I feared that, debootstrap does only the package install, but I have to do all the other stuff like GRUB myself? [13:01] Do anyone have NVIDIA GTX 460 (or any other 4xx card), and know if it is possible to downclock in the newest drivers? [13:01] aye, but thats easy [13:02] cast, well I ve never personally made the mental jump from LILO to GRUB :) [13:05] I guess my root filesystem is shoot good, with /usr/bin having migrated to lost+found, ...

[13:08] gedit [13:08] yacc: I'd say anything less than 10 GB would be too small [13:09] willinja, lol => there is no such thing, there is a sea of all kinds of editors. [13:09] i need a text editor that could highlight all the syntax [13:09] unless willinja installed wine and used the notepad [13:09] Do we have a description how to go at installing ubuntu via debootstrap?

[13:45] cba123: unrar e *.rar ? [13:45] cba123: well your glob is not specific enough I suppose, you want only the first part, no? [13:46] jrib, I want them all unrared. [13:46] cba123: pastebin the failure error message [13:46] cba123: and you unrar multi-part rars by unrarring the first part, don't you? [13:46] mbn_18, That just said "unraring (the first one) skipping" [13:47] hi thre [13:47] jrib: man sshd: "The /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts and ~/.ssh/known_hosts files contain host public keys for all known hosts.

Each line in these files contains the following fields: hostnames, bits [13:47] jrib, Yeah [13:47] , exponent, modulus, comment. The fields are separated by spaces." Actually, field separators are |.

[14:45] Katsumi32: got the wrong person bro [14:46] sorry :) [14:46] lucid.example.com [14:46] Hey! How can i fully format hard drives ( erase all data ) ? There is a problem: when i mount 4 hard drives - ubuntu wants to create mdadm raid array ( those drives were used in array in previous installation ) [14:46] its something like with "dd" ? === ubuntu is now known as scanie [14:46] discozohan: you mean completely erase, or just repartition? [14:47] discozohan: repartitioning is best done with fdisk or gparted or so. it's when you don't care about the data on the disk, you just want to re-use it for something else [14:47] discozohan: completely erasing takes quite long, and is only for when you really want the data to be completely gone [14:48] help-seeker-2: i doubt that you own the domain example.com :D [14:49] would you recommend a linux noob to use ubuntu on a machine with two ati 5850 in crossfire? [14:49] right, but that's why i have an entry 192.168.x.x lucid.example.com [14:49] scanie, why not? [14:49] discozohan: you can zero the partition(s) or disk « sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdxx bs=4MB » [14:50] Katsumi32, when i've tried ubuntu earlier the ati drivers were giving me a hard time.. and now that I have another one I'm having second thoughts about even try [14:50] scanie, just install latest catalyst from AMD and your ati will work the same as it does in windows [14:50] scanie, cuz you used OS drivers [14:51] no I tried to install the propriat*** drivers [14:51] scanie, where from did you get it ? [14:51] Sjors_: Hm, ok. I have 4 drives with empty partition table. When i load my ubuntu server - mdadm device appears "/dev/md_d4". So, it seems ubuntu uses old data on those drives, no ? Why does it do it ? [14:51] I used the drivers that ubuntu automatically found [14:52] scanie, no!!!! [14:52] discozohan: maybe simply because you have configuration files like that [14:52] scanie, get it from AMD website [14:52] Katsumi32, ok, this was a couple of months ago so they're not installed now.. I've been using windows ever since.. but now I want to try ubuntu again cuz I really want to learn linux [14:53] right now I'm on a live cd [14:53] Sjors_: no! The system has been just installed, and those device appeared after i inserted 4 drives into server [14:53] scanie, i have ati hd4850 so if you need some help i will help you [14:53] discozohan: weird... well you could try overwriting the first 512 bytes of the hard drive [14:54] Katsumi32, ok! good to know, I'll write down your nick [14:54] discozohan: but be very careful with that... [14:54] Sjors_: what can happen ? [14:54] discozohan: if you're sure you want to do that, you can do it like this: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/harddriveaddress bs=512 count=1 [14:54] discozohan: if you take the wrong drive, it will remove the partition table of that drive [14:55] discozohan: if you do it on the correct drive you can always create a new partition table, and the current one is empty anyway, so it's not that much of a problem [14:55] Hi Guys - Hope you are all well. Could any please help me with assigning backwards and forwards to my additional mouse buttons? [14:55] Katsumi32, i have a 80gb ssd with win7 installed and I want to have ubuntu on a partition on a regular hard disk.. would that be a problem? or is it as straight forward as if it were two regulard disks? [14:55] scanie, get your driver from here http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx just choose the right one [14:55] discozohan: but I'm not sure about raid arrays. maybe you connected all drives to some raid bus or something, or raid is enabled in hardware auotmatically, or so [14:55] discozohan: make sure to reboot after writing the bytes to the drive, or the kernel won't notice [14:56] anyone use aspireone d260 with ubuntu ? [14:56] Can someone direct me to instructions on how to recompile the Xorg that comes with 10.04 (1.7something) so that I can have Xorg 1.8? [14:56] scanie, u can resize the partition windows is installed of if you have got other hdd install it on the other hdd install ubuntu is really very easy [14:56] Sjors_: no-no, raid is done with mdadm, its software raid. All drives without partitions, but ubuntu creates inactive mdadm device on itself .. -.- Ok, thanks, i'll try it === david_ is now known as diwic [14:56] Hello [14:57] Is there a PPA for 10.04 which provides a ready-made 2.6.34+ kernel with btrfs support?

[15:34] or is that whats throwing the error (sorry i only speak english so i dont know what the last bit means) [15:34] ohio: it is not the same ppa. but the fact that it also includes ffmpeg packages is suspicious, it may be well causing the issue you are seeing [15:35] ohio: i would ppa-purge the ppa [15:35] just a second [15:35] Is 64 bit 10.10 really ready to be used as a desktop OS?

Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [15:40] ohio: its 1.1.4 here. but i MAY be using it from a PPA. === kimb is now known as hellgun [15:40] nop... the problem just occurs at the ubuntu, works fine on win7 [15:41] Dr_Willis: I have issues with sound failing.. requiring reboot.. this is with mobo sound..

[15:41] When I update the repositories, e.g sudo apt-get update, a lot of Ign ... translation-en_GB appear, also in the Software sources: download translation-en_GB ubuntu failed.

[15:44] ubbotu is a bot [15:44] clear [15:44] Solved: no .. i mean use the one the ubuntu package manager gives you.

You proberly want to edit /etc/fstab so it alway smounts on boot, run ntfs-config (install it first) and check the box's to allow all users full access.. then right click on the mountpoint and 'share' it. [15:51] ... [15:51] spid3r: most exploits are for specific services, or programs. Ive not heard of any major linux exploits in some time. [15:51] spid3r: theres security focused web sites with exploit news.

[16:22] haha burned [16:22] can take anything i throw at it generally [16:22] can you build an apple computer? [16:22] amd works great for my part [16:22] monotoko: have you ever owned an i7? [16:22] bonez2046: you're able to connect to the machine's listening port from way-outside? [16:22] amd has served me well [16:22] Overand: yeah.. .

[16:41] phillyj: between the quotes yes. BUt i would hope the program would make that directory if it dident exist. [16:41] kuNi: what ? [16:41] Guys, I downloaded prBoom from the software centre along with the Doom shareware WAD, but it doesn't show up in Applications->Games. [16:41] I was hoping to find a keyboard option to enable use of "Fn key" (in combo with other keys). I searched under system >preferences >keyboard, but i haven't found the Fn Key option. Has anyone seen or enabled the Fn Key option? [16:41] kuNi, a link to help with your macbook is in that too [16:41] kuNi: no one suggested you have an amd. Ubottu's link contains instructions for the macbook pro (as well as other instructions). Also, note that "amd64" is just the name of the 64bit architecture. So if you have a 64-bit macbook pro, then that's what you would use [16:42] kuni your processor its intel? [16:42] but i dont have an amd [16:42] From the software center, how could I determine where things are installed to? [16:42] Dr_Willis: what is the "{USER}" referring to? [16:42] fruitboy: run it from a terminal it may show up after you log out/back in - command seems to be 'prboom' [16:42] what is ubotto, will this edition work on my mac? [16:42] kuNi: It doesn't matter. "amd64" is just a name and works on intels too [16:42] hey- can someone help explain something to me? i am trying to sudo apt-get install xinerama, although the error E: Couldn't find package xinerama [16:42] ok, thank you [16:42] fruitboy: in 10.10 you will see where they are [16:42] SubCool: there is no package called xinerama [16:42] Alright [16:42] do i need to driver the change or will ubuntu do it for me like a mac? [16:42] phillyj: thats a variable. try 'echo ${USER}' and see what it says [16:43] SubCool: there is no such package. xinerama is an old extension of xwindows [16:43] phillyj: im not even sure thy it would be wanting you to do that command. [16:43] kuNi: read the links ubottu gave you [16:43] ok question. i want to edit the ip configuration file, but it says that the owner is "root" and wont let me edit. how do i fix this?

If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [16:43] Nach0z: no, you need to open gnome-network-manager and change it htere [16:43] Nach0z: sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces [16:43] Nach0z: what ip configuration file ?

(on the 4 ive had over the last few years) [16:50] Guest35148: 9.04 to 10.04¿ no idea what you did to make that but you broke it, better full reinstall of lucid [16:50] kronosphere: mine works by default, yeah [16:50] Wow. thanks guys and bots [16:50] erUSUL, um- i have run across Xorg configs to work with.. but thats y im asking. I had a missing xorg to begin with.. so im not even sure what the computer is using as a default thanks alot. [16:50] jrib: 2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 14:24:04 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [16:50] !version | experiMENTAL [16:50] experiMENTAL: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [16:51] my Fn key stopped working, but only when ubuntu is active os, when i boot the win xp, the Fn key works again just fine [16:51] Dr_Willis: Its all working now, thx for the help [16:51] kronosphere: how are you testing in ubuntu? [16:51] phillyj: great. I'll send you the bill. :_) [16:51] SubCool: newer Xwindows do not need the file they just autoconfigure themselves at runtime, if xorg.conf is present is obeyed though [16:51] kronosphere what keys are you testing exactly? the fn key on it's own does nothing [16:51] iceroot: on second though, not so much worked. it saved it apparently, but it didnt do what i wanted. [16:51] jrib: Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS [16:52] experiMENTAL: good. Create a fresh new user. Does the issue exist for the fresh new user? [16:52] Nach0z: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [16:52] ciao a tt [16:52] Fn plus F2, so that i can enable the wifi. Currently the wifi is disabled. I am using my mobile phone to get internet now, until this can be figured out. [16:52] ubottu, xangua, thanks, i'll just go back to Jauty, i just dont get why lol [16:52] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:52] I feel the need to point ouit that its best to use the 'service' command and not /etc/init.d/whatever with the move to upstart the init.d stuff is getting phased out. [16:53] kronosphere: you may be able to use rfkill « sudo rfkill unblock all » [16:53] jrib: ^I disappear. tab works. done nothing. [16:53] erUSUL, oh- ididnt know that. Well thanks you've been of great help.. imma get lunch now.. [16:53] !ebox [16:53] lata [16:53] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [16:53] kronosphere: some laptops and wireless cards are very quirky. is that the ONLY fn key thats 'not working' ? [16:53] let me check if thats the only key [16:53] Guest35148: because you can upgrade from 9.04 to 10.04, whatever you did it broke your ubuntu installation [16:53] iceroot: you're a lifesaver. thanks. [16:53] hey, i can't get the ubuntu 10.04 livecd/installatin to boot on my machine (suse exhibits the same issue) - it hangs as soon as it tries starting X (i.e. after the buntu loadin splash screen). [16:54] experiMENTAL: for the new user only you mean? [16:54] I think this may be an issue with my graphics card (ati 5870) but i'm not sure [16:54] anyone confirm that? [16:54] Nach0z: not me, vi(m) is the lifesaver .) [16:54] kronosphere how can you tell if its working/not working? you can't always trust LEDs, for example, ive seen a toshiba laptop that had an radio kill button that worked, but wouldn't change colour like it did in windows [16:54] Dr_Willis: smart~ The Fn Key is working with the screen brightness F7 and F8 keys [16:54] oic. actually, can i pm you about this? i;ve got some more questions and this channel is NUTS clogged... [16:54] kalleth,I think you're right, I had the same prob , so I used the alternate install and it worked fine . [16:55] jrib: found reason - ^I appears on vim. no auto fill on vim. [16:55] sorry... meant to direct this at iceroot .... oic. actually, can i pm you about this? i;ve got some more questions and this channel is NUTS clogged... [16:55] BluesKaj: perfect :) i shall give that a go and let you know [16:55] xiaclo: ok, i need to see if you are right, how do i test? [16:55] I downloaded murrine from git and sudo make installed it, how do I set gtk to use murrine in /usr/local instead of the deb one? [16:55] kalleth, good luck :) [16:55] experiMENTAL: right... and you have ":set list" enabled... [16:55] xangua, from ubuntu.com: ' Tested on Ubuntu Karmic Koala (9.10) 32-bit version with linux kernel 2.6.31-20-generic-pae. Works right out of the box. ' ... true, works fine for me too ... 'Tested on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04 LTS) 32-bit version with linux kernel 2.6.32-22. 802.11n NOT WORKING!!! Note: Intermittently disconnects' ...same problem for me now that i'm on 10.04 ... so i'll just go back, i just don't get why! surely the same drivers would w [16:55] ork with this version, weird. [16:56] kronosphere good way to test it is to open up a terminal, and type in sudo iwlist scan ... if working, it should return a list of wireless access points nearby ... [16:56] erUSUL: what does "sudo rfkill unblock all" do? [16:56] Hmm, seems like ebox got renamed to zentyal [16:56] xiaclo: ok ill test that now [16:57] iceroot: i'm trying to set up the static IP but the interfaces file doesnt seem to want to set what i put in as the stuff that auto eth0 uses. [16:57] Guest35148: try installing linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic [16:57] erUSUL, thanks,. i'll try that now [16:57] kronosphere rfkill is a program that manages quite a few different interfaces for disabling wireless cards ... usually as long as it's software blocking it (not not a physical switch) rfkill can control it [16:57] Nach0z: paste your interfaces-file to pastebin [16:57] !paste | Nach0z [16:57] Nach0z: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[17:00] xiaclo: http://pastebin.com/7i5kXBH6 [17:01] yes [17:01] keithone: this helped another earlier today http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=1669 [17:01] kronosphere ok, try 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up' [17:01] how can i see if i been identify? [17:01] keithone: login to the desktop go to system->prefernces->network-connections [17:01] kronosphere if that works without any errors, run the sudo iwlist scan again [17:01] keithone: from there you should see your network card, let me know when you are there [17:01] iceroot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/492231/ [17:02] keithone: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html [17:02] jrib: is he running a server ? [17:02] keithone: ah, I assumed you were using server, but if not follow ikonia [17:02] ikonia: bad assumption on my part [17:02] I don't know if he is or not [17:02] yes [17:02] jrib: I thought I'd missed a part [17:02] keithone: are you running ubutu server or desktop edition [17:03] xiaclo: ok trying it now [17:03] xiaclo: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory [17:03] owner@ubuntu:~$ [17:03] sorry im reading the page you posted [17:03] server [17:03] keithone: why are you running ubuntu server edition ?

[17:04] nvm that [17:04] iceroot: when i put that in, it killed my auto-eth0 and now i have no internet period. [17:04] xiaclo: i never tried "sudo rfkill unblock all" yet; should i try it ? [17:05] kronosphere yes please, that error means your wireless card is either disabled, or it can't find a driver for it [17:05] i am looking for some good c programming books any advice? [17:05] shamez: join ##c [17:06] how to get out of ":set list" mode on gvim? [17:06] I have items in my trash that was put their in a previous installation of ubuntu, when I redid it I had it format my / and /home folder. but those items is still there and I can remove them from the trash [17:06] !tash > sinman [17:06] xiaclo: i input "sudo rfkill unblock all" no errors but nothing else came back either, and it seems that the wifi is not lighting up either [17:06] !trash > sinman [17:06] sinman, please see my private message [17:06] can't not can [17:07] kronosphere try the 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up' again [17:07] sinman: check the link from uboottu [17:07] how do we find out if it is disabled?

'sudo lspci' look for a wireless chipset in there ... or 'sudo lsusb' if it's a usb one [17:09] ls -a in terminal like erUSUL said [17:09] i don't know the name of it, how can i look that up?

[17:29] Well I'm gonna let this run a bit, see if it dies again.. thanks folks [17:29] magicianlord .. done .. what do you want me to check there [17:29] carlg gparted is one of the easiest and best to use, harder to mess things up [17:29] make sure the channels arent muted. master, pcm primarily [17:30] you unmute or mute with the M button [17:30] xiaclo, that's interesting, ... [17:30] rrohitiit: ok, so is it possible that only one of those dns servers is working [17:30] carlg, When installing ubuntu you can set yourself the space of the partition [17:30] ben_q: « ps -p PID -o etime | tail -1 » [17:30] Anyone has idea, why when i create mdadm raid10 array with 4 partitions /dev/sd[c-f]1 and reboot pc - /dev/md4_p1 appears and mdadm --detail --scan --verbose shows, that i used not /dev/sd[c-f]1, but /dev/sd[c-f] ( whole drive ) [17:30] xiaclo, so I will be able to make a blank partition and have winxp format it ntsf, even tho I have ubuntu lucid 10.04 occupying the ENTIRE 200gb? [17:31] rrohitiit: can you validate that both of those are workig ? [17:31] ikonia: point is it works perfectly well when im root [17:31] carlg yes, obviously it will shrink your ubuntu, but its possible without losing any data [17:31] awesome [17:31] ikonia : how do i do that [17:31] thanks, erUSUL [17:31] rrohitiit: post the output of ls -la /usr/bin/wget please [17:31] carlg again, make that partition in gparted before you let xp mangle it, or you WILL lose your ubuntu ... xp doesn't understand linux file systems [17:31] magicianlord .. i have opened alsamixer .. what should i check there? [17:32] ikonia: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 333396 2010-09-01 21:42 /usr/bin/wget [17:32] * kronosphere returns [17:32] hello [17:32] rrohitiit: that looks bang on [17:33] ikonia: ? [17:33] rrohitiit: that looks correct [17:33] hi. [17:33] ola [17:33] there's a very long changelog for kernel package linux-image. [17:33] some of the patches are labelled CVE and some others as LP. [17:33] xiaclo, you seem to know your stuff... could you explain to me why, on linux, the performance of games are very sluggish and sometimes unbareble to play? [17:33] if LP = launchpad, what is CVE ? [17:33] xiaclo: erUSUL my wifi light is on! But i still have questions, its not configuring yet, but im sure we are almost there! [17:33] Does anyone have the default mysql config for 10.04 [17:33] please? [17:34] ikonia: when i couldnt get an answer on launchpad i reported a bug. Then i was suggested to check firewall settings [17:34] erry: default ? what' the issue [17:34] ikonia, i spoiled mine :p [17:34] rrohitiit: that's interesting [17:34] ikonia: i ve no idea how to do that [17:34] kronosphere: click on the network manager icon. do you see some network there ? [17:34] and now mysql won't start [17:34] Guest87805: did that help [17:34] carlg assuming you mean directx games ... and well, its because most people run games in wine (or cedega or whatever) but the point is, they aren't M$ and they dont have access to directx code ... so they are reverse engineering it, and trying to convert it to opengl ... [17:34] rrohitiit: what firewall are you using ? [17:34] erUSUL: is that the up and down arrow? [17:34] erry: what's the error when it trys to start [17:34] If i have an disk with one NTFS partition taking up all the space, and select the 'erase and use the entire disk' option at ubuntu 10.4 install, will it format it to ext4 automatically? [17:34] sobersabre: my guess: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Vulnerabilities_and_Exposures [17:34] what's sudo for again ectly? [17:34] ikonia : just ufw [17:35] magicianlord .. still volume manager says "waiting for sound system to respond" [17:35] !ufw [17:35] 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. [17:35] ChogyDan: so, I assume vanilla kernel also receives all the CVE patches. right ? [17:35] kronosphere: two monitors iirc [17:35] carlg so if you can, run games in opengl mode, they run much smoother, or suffer with the performance hit, not much we can do besides try to work around m$ technology [17:35] ikonia: i tried after disabling it [17:35] rrohitiit: check that link [17:35] ikonia, http://pastebin.com/nDcEYKUa is the best i can get. [17:35] xiaclo, ooh i see [17:35] ikonia : dint help [17:35] !gdm [17:35] ikonia, doesn't bring any other error anywhere else. [17:35] rrohitiit: is this an ubuntu desktop or server install [17:35] xiaclo, even if video drivers are installed correctly people are still suffering with directx and opengl? [17:35] ikonia: desktop [17:35] erUSUL: i dont understand the instruction [17:36] rrohitiit: so it's not appamour either [17:36] rrohitiit: give me a minute to think [17:36] kronosphere: the icon has two monitors if i recall correctly. [17:36] kronosphere: just click on it should be obvious what is the network manager one [17:36] carlg the video drivers in linux only support opengl ... directx still needs to be translated into opengl for the video drivers ... that translation takes cpu time and doesn't always translate efficiently into opengl [17:37] erry: http://pastebin.com/HDFH0ea9 [17:37] ncvm [17:37] it works now [17:37] erUSUL: there is the one with an up arrow and a down arrow, i think that is the network icon, and next to that is battery and next to that is a driver install option [17:37] hi [17:37] what should i look for under the network icon [17:37] kronosphere: well click on it. do you see the wifi networks listed ? [17:37] anyone know how i can open or delete only files with certain extention or suffix...i remember doing something like rm -f *.jpg or something like that [17:38] xiaclo, oh, so because ubuntu is cash-broke they are taking much longer to get the exact compatibility as microsux or macinpoop? [17:38] How can I open .pdf files in Firefox? [17:38] i see lists of network stuff, some grayed out some lit [17:38] cannonfodder: "rm *.jpeg" will work for files in the current folder [17:38] cannonfodder: you're right "rm -f *.jpg" will delete all .jpg files [17:38] Can someone help me with Pidgin tray icons? [17:38] wireless networks say disconnected [17:38] kronosphere: click on the one you want to connect [17:38] carlg it's not a money issue, it's a 'we own it and you can't have it' issue from microsoft ... [17:38] oh hey thanks [17:39] erUSUL: it doesnt give me the option, wireless networks are grayed out [17:39] how can i create an iso image using oem-config-remaster software [17:39] carlg they are forced to reverse engineer it, mac doesn't do much better, they use bootcamp, which just runs a full windows OS instead of trying to emulate directx at all [17:39] by the way, xiaclo, after $sudo apt-get install gparted, then $gparted returned: Inhibit all polling failed: Only uid 0 is authorized to inhibit the daemo [17:39] uLinux: firefox won't open pdf files, it will use another application to open them [17:40] kronosphere: :( right click and choose edit network connections [17:40] carlg uid 0 is root, gparted needs access to the disks themselves, only root has that access ... 'sudo gparted' should fix it [17:40] i do have "create new wireless network" as an option [17:40] xiaclo, i never knew that... so basically everyone has to emulate the windows environment to have the ability even just to play [17:40] I'm using ubuntu 10.4 and i'm going to make my laptop an access point for other devices.help me to do this job graphically [17:40] ikonia, i still can't start it through the service command, only through mysqld [17:40] xiaclo, thanks didnt' know [17:40] glebihan: I use Document Viewer.. but is there a plugin for firefox ? [17:40] where is firefox history stored? I cant find history in ~/.mozilla/firefox [17:40] erry: look at the logs to see why [17:40] I'm using ubuntu 10.4 and i'm going to make my laptop an access point for other devices.help me to do this job graphically [17:40] uLinux: not that I know of [17:40] ikonia, i pasted what the logs say, there's nothing else. [17:41] rrohitiit: struggling to think of a situation that would cause the situation [17:41] glebihan: maybe if i install adobe reader [17:41] I'm using ubuntu 10.4 and i'm going to make my laptop an access point for other devices.help me to do this job graphically [17:41] erUSUL: right click is not working, and it is not detecting the wireless network that is available [17:41] i have nokia 5230 mobile with unlimted internet connection on phone. i want to use the net on pc through bluetooth. is it possible ? [17:41] kronosphere: try ina terminal « sudo iwlist wlan0 scan » [17:42] uLinux: I don't know if the plugin for adobe reader works under Ubuntu [17:42] ok [17:42] intmed:we have same problem [17:42] I'm using ubuntu 10.4 and i'm going to make my laptop an access point for other devices.help me to do this job graphically [17:42] hafiz: ok. [17:43] erUSUL: wlan0 No scan results [17:43] kronosphere: you are sure there are wifi networks around ? [17:43] its weird because my led light is on, indicating that wifi is enabled, just want you to know [17:43] guys, what is relationship between ldap-auth-config and samba? [17:43] xiaclo, so i have /dev/sda1[ext3 [17:43] yes, our other computer is on the wifi now [17:44] I am working with ubuntu on a vpn server. I tried `apt-get install nano` but response was "E: Couldn't find package nano" -- Is this normal? [17:44] a person introduce to me some websites but they were ubuntu 5.4 release [17:44] I'm using ubuntu 10.4 and i'm going to make my laptop an access point for other devices.help me to do this job graphically [17:44] kronosphere: try « sudo iw dev wlan0 scan » [17:44] necrodearia, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1157437 [17:44] necrodearia: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nano [17:45] hafiz: which are the sites ? [17:45] xiaclo, so i have /dev/sda1[ext3]180.52gb and /dev/sda2/[extended]5.79gb and /dev/sda5[linux-swap]5.79gb --- so i would just alter the ext3? === joseph is now known as Guest14521 [17:45] switch10_, thanks [17:45] ok [17:45] ikonia : could a firewall in the proxyserver i use cause smthing like this? [17:45] slt [17:45] rrohitiit: proxy ? [17:45] rrohitiit: are you using a proxy to get onto the internet [17:45] i use a proxy [17:46] rrohitiit: ahhh ok [17:46] ikonia: yes [17:46] rrohitiit: now we are getting somewhere [17:46] ikonia: sure hope so [17:46] rrohitiit: if you do "sudo ping www.google.com" does that work, yes/no [17:46] where do mysql error logs go? [17:46] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo [17:46] rrohitiit: try that [17:46] where is firefox history stored? I cant find history in ~/.mozilla/firefox [17:46] @erry try /var/logs [17:47] erry: /var/log/mysql.log [17:47] glebihan, already checked there. [17:47] ikonia: no [17:47] ikonia: just as su [17:47] glebihan, empty [17:47] hang on "su" [17:47] carlg yep, you should be able to resize by right clicking on the drive, if that doesn't work, you may need to run gparted from a live cd, some file systems can't be resized while they are the root filesystem [17:47] erry: try /var/log/mysql/error.log [17:48] glebihan, tried all thatr :( [17:48] also /var/log/mysql.err is empty [17:48] rrohitiit: what I think is going in is applications (such as browsers) that use a proxy are using the proxy dns, applications that want a direct connection are failing because you are not connected to the internet/dns servers [17:48] erry: /var/log/mysql/error.log is empty too ? [17:48] Yes [17:48] Well it wasn't [17:48] i cleared it to see the new errors [17:48] hafiz: not what i want. i think your question is different [17:48] but i didn't see no new errors. [17:49] ikonia: solution? [17:49] erry: and are you sure there are new errors ? [17:49] rrohitiit: who run's your lan ? [17:49] ikonia: its institute LAN === Guest14521 is now known as joehms22 [17:49] glebihan, well it won't start w/ service [17:49] i have nokia 5230 mobile with unlimted internet connection on phone. i want to use the net on pc through bluetooth. is it possible ? [17:49] so there should be new errors, right? [17:49] rrohitiit: talk to the institute adminsitartor to get local dns cache/forwarders, if you are still blocked, then you need to use applications that are proxy aware [17:50] ikonia: so its specific to my network? [17:50] Is it possible to make the "sudo" command use the keychain, or is that a bad idea? [17:50] rrohitiit: yes [17:50] erry: what command do you use and what error do you get ? [17:50] ikonia: damn [17:50] glebihan, service mysql start. No error, just it never starts it. Takes a loong time and never starts. [17:50] anyone a grub2 expert? It will only boot into a grub> prompt and ignores the menu def [17:50] ikonia: what exactly should i be requesting the admin? [17:51] evenin' all [17:51] mistergibson: do you only have one os? [17:51] erry: do you use "sudo" to run the command ? [17:51] rrohitiit: ip addresses for local dns cache/foward servers [17:51] joems22: yes, just Ubuntu [17:51] xiaclo, ya, basically i think I have to unmount my /dev/sda1/ before i can resize it... [17:51] glebihan, i did sudo -i so i have a prompt as root. [17:51] joehms22: yes, only Ubuntu [17:51] mistergibson: you may need to set a different timeout for grub2 === Mariele is now known as Guest54100 [17:52] mistergibson: it does this for speed [17:52] carlg yeah, going to need a live cd then, any ubuntu install disc has a live mode where you can run gparted from [17:52] what netbooks are best w/ ubuntu? [17:52] joehms22: actually, I can try that - but why am I not presented a menu ? [17:52] xiaclo, so you suggest i boot with a livecd and then ....? run the command #sudo gparted at the menu? [17:52] carlg yep yep [17:52] ikonia: is there any way i can tweak wget to use internet dns servers [17:52] erry: it weird that you don't get any output [17:52] glebihan, yes :( [17:53] rrohitiit: I think you can use it with a proxy server, however I'd advise you to contact your lan admin to get the cache ip addresses, it will make it easier [17:53] mistergibson: It assumes that because you only have one os you just want to use the default. [17:53] joehms22: I mean - it boots *straight* into the grub> prompt - like that [17:53] glebihan, but i've seen far weirder things so it doesn't surprise me that much [17:53] rrohitiit: just point your dhclient to a different one than local [17:53] xiaclo, thanks so much for your help.. I like when my ubuntu experience is more exciting that my winxp :P -- i will be back after i have completed [17:53] Wembley: it's not that simple [17:53] Wembley: how to do that [17:53] erry: have you tried starting it directly with "mysqld" ? [17:53] glebihan, yes, and that works. [17:54] carlg sounds good, the live cd should have irc as well if you need help [17:54] joehmss22: but I have four entries (2 kernels, 2 modes each) [17:54] mistergibson: I think it can be changed in /etc/grub.d/00_header [17:54] rrohitiit: that won't work, you need local dns servers and network forwarding on your lan to be open [17:54] mistergibson: Then run sudo update-grub [17:54] rrohitiit: talk to your lan administrators [17:54] joehms22: I'll try that too, thanks [17:54] glebihan, i'm just wondering why 'service' doesn't work. IOt used to. [17:54] erry: could you pastebin your /etc/init.d.mysql file ? [17:54] glebihan, ofc [17:54] erry: */etc/init.d/mysql* [17:54] glebihan: it uses upstart, so that won't be full any more [17:54] T.T i hate aptitude [17:55] root@{snip}:/usr/local/src/php-5.3.3# aptitude moo [17:55] There are no Easter Eggs in this program.

The thing is need to get firefox 3.8.8 installed, as firefox 4 doesn't support many plugins (gwt in my case and as an example). Please help.

[17:55] glebihan, http://pastebin.com/siudffr8 [17:55] ikonia: then why does it work after sudo su [17:55] hello [17:55] FloodBot3: sorry [17:55] ikonia: yeah, sorry, hard to read the channel name in irssi [17:56] rrohitiit: first of all, you shouldn't be doing sudo su [17:56] erUSUL: sudo: iw: command not found [17:56] ikonia: unless I misunderstood something, running "service servicename" calls the /etc/init.d/servicename ? [17:56] c'e' nessuno he parla italian [17:56] ikonia: why? [17:56] rrohitiit: are you using DHCP? [17:56] hello ya [17:56] sorry i must have been disconnected and didnt know it [17:56] rrohitiit: you may have proxy settings setup under the root user profile, I don't know without more research [17:56] rrohitiit: redundant [17:56] rrohitiit: you've messed up your enviornments doing that, sudo should be used [17:56] rrohitiit: the fact that sudo doesn't and sudo su does means you've got environmental differences [17:57] hello ya'll. in ubuntu 10.04; I do not have the volume control icon on the main panel. How can I fix that? TIA! [17:57] erUSUL: are you still here? [17:57] Wembley : yes im usind DHCP [17:57] ikonia: if my problem is specific to network whatever be the env it should not work right? [17:58] erry: does running "/etc/init.d/mysql start" work ? [17:58] glebihan, no, it uses the service command apparently which is broken. [17:58] rrohitiit: no, your network is the problem, you appear to have done something to the root user to get around it / use the proxy, but your network is still th eproblem [17:58] I wonder what I need to have configured so that mkinitramfs adds the necessary crypto tools to support a rootfs on crypted LVM [17:58] what netbooks are best w/ ubuntu? [17:59] kronosphere i'm still here, you still stuck? [17:59] is there anything special i need to do or suggested steps before i try to add some memory to my ubuntu box? [17:59] ikonia:i am using proxy in both case ...the same one [17:59] erry: the init script does not call service, it's the contrary [17:59] fission6: no [17:59] yes [17:59] rrohitiit: you think you are, it doesn't mean you actually are [17:59] ty xiaclo [18:00] i now have my wifi lit up as far as the led light goes, but no indication in the network icon of any wireless networks available [18:00] ikonia: wget is suposed to use $http_proxy variable...and its the same in both cases [18:00] glebihan, oh. [18:00] glebihan, well, it doesn't work. [18:00] rrohitiit: then why is it not working ? [18:00] kronosphere does 'sudo iwlist scan' give anything? [18:00] ikonia: my question :) [18:01] rrohitiit: and I'm telling you why [18:01] ill check again [18:01] hey people, anyone using xtables? [18:01] i'm having a trouble with: iptables -t raw -A OUTPUT -d 10.7.7.1 -j RAWDNAT --to-destination 65.65.65.65 [18:01] it says: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name. [18:02] kokozedman: I don't think there is a table called raw [18:02] i get "interface doesn't support scanning" and "no scan results" [18:02] ikonia: there is :) [18:02] * erry steals the smily face [18:02] xiaclo: see above [18:02] kokozedman there is a raw, and it does have an output chain ... hmm ... [18:03] xiaclo: it has ... PREROUTING and OUTPUT [18:03] kokozedman oh ... RAWDNAT doesn't exist ... its just DNAT as a target ... [18:03] erry: so I guess "initctl start mysql" does not work either ? [18:03] xiaclo: it's in xtables-addons... RAWDNAT does exists :) [18:03] glebihan, didn't try that, gimme 1 sec [18:04] xiaclo: man xtables-addons [18:04] is there any way to compare visual two files vertically in gvim in one line? ":vert diffs foo.file bar.file" doesn't work. [18:04] kokozedman ahh ok, i'm not familiar with xtables then ... gimme a sec [18:04] xiaclo: wlan0 no scan results [18:04] root@Mewtwo:~# initctl start mysql [18:04] initctl: Job failed to start [18:04] experiMENTAL, these are text files? [18:05] yes [18:05] glebihan, that's after supposedly stopping it through /etc/init.d (no idea if that works properly) [18:05] experiMENTAL, ` I generally use meld to compare the difference between files not vim so I cant help with vim [18:05] Does anything bad happen if you run fsck.ext3 on a ext4 file system? [18:05] anyone running ubuntu netbook and get there wireless working [18:06] erry: you can check if it's running with "ps -ef | grep mysqld" [18:06] anyone have a guide for installing ubuntu netbook to a USB key - i mean proper install, not creating an install usb key [18:06] glebihan, nvm. was running, i stopped. now your command takes forever (just like service) [18:06] glebihan, btw, w/ mysqld it starts immediatelly. [18:07] Hello everyone - I have found a dumpster computer, and am wondering how well it will run Ubuntu 10.04. [18:07] anyone able to diagnose why im not getting wifi on my laptop? [18:07] kokozedman i'm not seeing any reason that shouldn't work ... my best guess would be it's not reading a module right ... there may be one you need to include (-m ) although its not in the man page ... or maybe xtables just isn't loading correctly [18:07] FreonTrip, do you know which processor and video card and system memory? [18:07] glebihan, i wait minutes and minutes,. it never starts it. it just sits there. [18:08] xiaclo: i'm also thinking that... but i have no idea how to load anything xtables-related [18:08] Already cracked it open. Athlon Thunderbird 1200, 1 gig RAM, GeForceFX 5700. [18:08] xiaclo: you still working with me? [18:08] coz_: See above.

[18:09] FreonTrip, best way to find out is to install ubuntu on it :) [18:09] erry: that may be an issue... [18:09] glebihan, perhaps. [18:09] coz_: ty [18:09] experiMENTAL, did you try meld? [18:09] xiaclo: for instance: libxt_RAWDNAT.so ... but i think it's just a shared library, not a module (ko) [18:09] glebihan, my debian machine doesn't have one either, and mysql works fine [18:09] hello is anyone here familiare with KVM? [18:09] glebihan, besides, this used to work. [18:10] kronosphere simplier than i though ... 'sudo iwconfig' ... under wlan0 there should be something called tx-power, what is it? [18:10] ikonia: if this might help : "farthest" i can ping is the default gateway not further...not even proxy servers [18:10] coz_: As soon as the ISO's downloaded, I will install and report back. Is 1 gig RAM enough? I'm used to running Slackware, which would drown in that much RAM out of the box... [18:10] coz_: yes. its good. [18:10] hi [18:10] FreonTrip, sounds like aplan :) [18:10] erry: yes but I don't know if debian uses upstart, ikonia would you know ? [18:10] c'e qualcuno italiano!!!!! [18:10] rrohitiit1: that is correct [18:10] experiMENTAL, yes I like it as well its easy to deal with [18:10] rrohitiit1: that is what I'd expect [18:10] glebihan, well, is there a way to get it fixed? i mean /etc/init.d is how the service starts at system start [18:11] glebihan, so if it never finishes, i could end up with a system that waits ours for mysql to start. [18:11] k ima leavin cuz this channel is NUTS clogged. later all [18:11] >< [18:11] ikonia: i know the ips of DNS but i cant even ping them [18:11] rrohitiit1: that is to be expected [18:11] hours* [18:11] xiaclo: 20 dbm [18:11] erry: have you tried reinstalling mysql ? [18:11] do you want the whole read out in pastebin [18:11] glebihan, i guess i'll have to :( [18:11] anyone here familiar with KVM or virt-manager [18:11] kronosphere ok, so the actual radio is powered on, so it's not hardware disabled in any way. Kinda stupid question, but do you have a nearby access point? [18:12] rutri: try #ubuntu-server [18:12] ikonia : so you are suggesting that som requests are being blocked by network [18:12] < glebihan> uLinux: I don't know if the plugin for adobe reader works under Ubuntu [18:12] it's working [18:12] uLinux: ok nice [18:12] I am in the channel now, no one has responded. [18:12] xiaclo: about 15 feet away is the wireless router, is that what you are asking? [18:12] kronosphere yet, pretty much [18:13] rrohitiit1: I've explaine dthe problem, your network is fine but not in a config that would allow you to do what you want, you need to talk to your network admins [18:13] kronosphere just had to ask, you never know [18:13] xiaclo: my other computer 10 ft away has wifi running fine [18:13] ok [18:13] gotta rule that our of course! [18:13] *out [18:13] hi , [18:14] kokozedman try 'sudo modprobe xtables' ... or going through other files, see if you can load them, they look like kernel modules [18:14] good evening! :) how can it be that my keyboard does not work from my notebook? the touchpad isn't working, too. but an external mouse and tastatur works [18:14] remember the customer service guy that finally found out the caller didn't have the computer plugged in ... :) [18:14] kronosphere yeah, it comes from tech support, have to ask the stupid questions [18:14] kronosphere: or holding the paper up the the monitor tryign to 'scan' it.

(using 10.04) [18:19] I'm certain that it did in previous versions [18:19] ok ill run it now. i dont understand the mode managed question, idk. [18:20] kronosphere mode is a few options, managed means it connects to an access point, there is also ad-hoc and a few others you will probably never use [18:20] kronosphere it should be on the second line, should say Mode: Managed then frequency === nikon is now known as callaghan [18:21] xiaclo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/492270/ [18:21] kokozedman when you say the modules exist, they do appear in lsmod, correct? [18:21] it is managed [18:21] xiaclo: no.... i look for them in /lib/modules/...

[18:24] who i was talking to in pm about deleting items from the trash please pm me, i forgot who i was talking to [18:25] Yes. In vi you have to escape before you arrow. [18:25] Why not use nano or something else besides vi? Vim?

Since SHA1 is considered broken, would Evolution qualify for an SRU? [18:27] xiaclo: ok about to try it, took a sec to undestand the syntax lol [18:27] Badger32d: Ok, vim is performing the way I expected vi to - maybe it had been aliased on my work machine or something. Thanks for your help! [18:28] Np benjamintheyon [18:28] Badger32d to be fair, vim isn't much of an improvement on vi ... personally i love vi, but it's not for everyone ... if you rarely edit files, nano or gedit is so much easier to learn [18:28] I agree xiaclo, I usually use nano, but on some older devices still gotta rock vi. [18:28] i just feel like a tard === Profion is now known as Nelson_RN [18:29] Badger32d yeah, generally everything has vi, and it's damn powerful once you get used to it ... but those learning stages are quite brutal, especially if you don't have to [18:29] xiaclo: i entered it, nothing happened that i know of [18:29] xiaclo: no... it doesn't work [18:29] kronosphere try the 'sudo iwconfig' again, it should list a frequency [18:29] kokozedman same error?

[18:53] faibistes: try without the encryption to test [18:53] my other computer can [18:53] Dr_Willis: If the browser is blcioked.. What did you mean by blcio.. [18:53] th3hate: sudo lshw -C network [18:53] hsr: the browser is blocked from going to specific XXX sites.. how else can you block XXX sites? [18:53] th3hate: ifconfig [18:53] Dr_Willis: any idea of using proxy [18:53] th3hate: not sure about the brand of card but the chip is all that matters [18:54] bobo1231: Dr_Willis: im talking about just a trash folder where folders i just deleted offa the hard drive would be sent. i wanna empty it. [18:54] Hi, my AMD turion x2 ultra. overheats under stress load, I'm running ubuntu 10.04 [18:54] hsr: nope. I neever needed to do that task. OpenDNS can also block adult sites and would be rather trivial to setup [18:54] ActionParsnip, i wanna download a driver for it, ubuntu not detecting the network adapter [18:54] could I try something less painful first? I've got to reconfigure a lot of things here if I do that and will lose internet access for quite some time [18:54] Dr_Willis: Then what do you use? [18:54] ahamino: log a bug, also try maverick in livecd to test [18:54] some of those machines are headless [18:54] a real PITA [18:54] kronosphere try this for me 'sudo rmmod rndis_wlan; sudo rmmod rndis_host' then run another scan ... if not, run 'sudo lscpi -nn' and toss me that output, want to see if your exact model is supported ok [18:54] Nach0z: the users 'Trash' directory is in ~/.local/share/Trash [18:54] ActionParsnip: there are some wlan0 lines, and the last line is indicator-appli[8760]: segfault at 6569669 ip 0078c402 sp bff0f030 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.2400.1[766000+3d000] [18:54] Nach0z: i dont use any of them. the 2 yr old isent into porn yet. [18:55] th3hate: the lshw output is what you need, the product line gives you what you need to find guides [18:55] Nach0z: oh, empty it? well there is a link to the trash in the Go-menu in filemanagerwindows. [18:55] oops that was for hsr. :) heh [18:55] hi, i have troobles with changing the chanel of mi mon0 [18:55] Dr_Willis: what? what does pr0n have to do with anything? [18:55] pheelin_eerie: ok, go search the web to see what it means [18:55] Dr_Willis: huh? [18:55] ActionParsnip: I think I found a bug on lp that is equivalent to my status, it wasn't prompted to maverick .. so I don't think the problem got solved [18:55] has to do with everything [18:55] hsr: i dont need to block the sites.. its a non issue for me. [18:55] hsr: opendns has the feature. go check it out. [18:55] th3hate: the brand is moot, you can put the same chip on any card and linux will see it as the same thing [18:56] xiaclo: is the first one the entire: sudo rmmod rndis_wlan; sudo rmmod rndis_host [18:56] Dr_Willis: What other firefox add ons can? [18:56] ActionParsnip: is there any other step I could try first, besides disabling encryption? [18:56] kronosphere yes, there is two modules, they need to be removed in that order to work [18:56] Hi, synaptic has a section for "New in repository", how can I get new packages using apt from cli? [18:56] ok then what is the scan command again? [18:56] faibistes: not sure. Its a good test though. Maybe you need extra compile options to get wpa [18:57] kronosphere 'sudo iwlist scan' [18:57] hsr: i dont rember. i saw one ages ago. I toyed with it for about 2 hrs. then removed it. theres proberly more then one. [18:57] When 10.10 will be released? [18:57] xiaclo: also i lost my command prompt [18:57] how do i get it back? [18:57] ??? the driver is DKMS- how could I do that? [18:57] ahamino: in month 10 year 2010 :-) [18:57] hsr: they could always use some other browser.. but with opendns it would affect all browsers and tools [18:57] anyway, it does connect to the AP [18:57] <_mrn_ver_> i am having problem with sound .system is not generating any sound. [18:57] <_mrn_ver_> what to do? [18:57] kronosphere assuming gnome .. applications -> accessories -> terminal ... or alt-F2 'gnome-terminal' [18:57] Dr_Willis: Yes.. thats exctly what i want [18:58] faibistes: not all wireless devices can do wpa under linux. Id imagine realtek ones can though [18:58] hsr: then go check out 'opendns' [18:58] ahamino: #ubuntu+1 for maverick dude [18:58] xiaclo: i tried typing in pastebinit command while waiting [18:58] and that messed up my prompt - i don't have the $ anymore [18:58] ActionParsnip: ok [18:58] how to set http proxy globally, for all users in firefox ? [18:59] that's true it didn't work out of the box in karmic. had to install from markus-tisoft PPA [18:59] kronosphere ctrl-c a few times, then enter a few times tends to fix most issues [18:59] _mrn_ver_: check volume is not muted in gnome volume app as well as alsamixer in terminal [18:59] Dr_Willis: What? is it wrong to ask this.. you being quite rude [18:59] ok [18:59] i guess [18:59] ty [18:59] hello there [18:59] hey, has anyone had any issues remote desktop'ing into a windows 7 machcine?

[19:02] Hi, I have a question of changing the Theme of my Ubuntu to Mac theme [19:02] Kirill I'm assuming you're talking about getting the windows boot loader back ... insert a windows install cd, go into recovery console, 'chkdsk /fixmbr' should bring it back [19:02] ActionParsnip, i have set it up to be interactive. but i dont use compiz- what is that? [19:02] _mrn_ver_: if you run all commands with sudo you WILL break your system [19:02] SubCool: crappy desktop effects [19:02] ok senk u [19:02] xiaclo, its ok.

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [19:04] ActionParsnip: anything else i could try? As I said, reconfiguring the network isn't easy here. I wouldn't like to go through the pain of reconfiguring 2 headless servers without network access [19:04] in ubuntu was 2 partitons 30 and 170 [19:04] neil_: right click on desktop, change wallpaper, last tab.

Also use a wired connection and get fully updated [19:05] CameLinis going to break this down to basics, please don't be offended ... do you have the PCI-ID of your wireless card? If not, try typing 'sudo lspci -nn' at a command prompt ... you are looking for a number at the end of the line that describes your wireless card like [XXXX:XXXX] [19:05] neil_: does it list some drivers in that window? [19:05] CameLinis, sorry, i didnt use ndiswrapper in ages. i'd recommend you to get supported hardware.

[19:06] lancelot: no it says no proprietarty drivers are in use on this system [19:06] cannonfodder: there's a gconf setting to put it on the desktop too [19:06] its fully updated already, via a wired connection. But I don't know how to check the compile settings. It is a .deb DKMS [19:06] Kirill try 'sudo fdisk -l' ... does it list two partitions, or just one? [19:06] thanks [19:06] neil_: okay, do you have a separate graphics card? [19:06] ok- i have had kopete crash on me for the last time. What is a better chat for kubuntu [19:06] xiaclo just main one with 30 [19:06] neil_: or are the graphics integrated into your motherboard? [19:06] faibistes: i'd get the source and compile it .

What windows does or doesn't do is of no consequence to linux [19:14] got it thanks [19:14] Kirill like i said though, nothing ubuntu or acronis or windows can do can prevent the bios from reading off the hard drive as 200gb ... maybe the OS, but not the BIOS ... so there has to be a bios option to make the hard drive read as 200GB ... if all else fails, try placing the hard drive on a different motherboard connector to see if it is detected correctly there [19:14] Enoc, have you tried reading their documentation?

Am I going to have to convert one of the partitions so it is no longer primary? I don't do this sort of stuff very often, so I don't know if those restrictions [21:37] still hold. [21:37] i think you can launch it with: network-manager [21:38] glebihan: the share is not enabled. [21:38] does it have a gui or it's cli?

[21:45] specifically ubuntu linux [21:45] soreau: fglrx [21:45] alaing: you can't place a firewall on a folder, you set rules for specific ports [21:45] soreau: how good is open source driver?

I could setup my router to block access [21:46] Hello all! What does %u do when launching an application? [21:46] robotti^: fglrx is a proprietary driver. If you uninstall fglrx, it will use the open driver that was from the time whenever your version of ubuntu was released.

I assume that latter term means the same as "extended." (?) [21:47] hiexpo, I'm not doing anything, I'm asking here because I'm curious.. [21:48] alaing: run "gksu nautilus" [21:48] soreau: and better performance than flrx-whatever? [21:48] avi_, it is kinda offtopic here [21:48] robotti^: Assuming you used jockey to install the driver (sys>admin>hardware drivers) use the same method to remove it then cold boot your machine [21:48] glebihan, i got hacked once, it was through those ports >< and newkno, indeed, however i would backup first [21:48] alaing: then same way I told you earlier [21:48] hiexpo, Do you know or not..? [21:48] Monotoko: we were talking about blocking those ports [21:49] play [21:49] miss type [21:49] hiexpo, A simple link would go along way. [21:49] soreau: should I first set up one monitor setup and after that uninstall driver? [21:49] robotti^: Not better acceleration yet but better quality though. and I suspect you should try to see if it uses a normal amount of cpu with the radeon driver [21:49] robotti^: no [21:49] ok [21:49] Question: cannot get gdm to come up at all on T60 after lucid upgrade. tried ati, radeon and redeonhd drivers no joy. what next? [21:49] soreau: what I should do?

[21:49] avi_, yes its a undo command [21:50] robotti^: Use the jockey-gtk program in sys>admin>hardware drivers to remove fglrx then cold boot your machine [21:50] glebihan: ok let me test it from my win7 machine [21:50] hiexpo, An undo command? That all launchers in the gnome menu have? How is that possible..? [21:50] hiexpo: stop those random comments please [21:50] robotti^: The radeon driver should be used by default in 10.04 [21:50] avi_: explore the freedesktop standards. I don't recall which one that's explained in (probably .desktop files one). It's just the uri of the file iirc [21:51] looks like I am not the only one with radeon problems. [21:51] avi_: %u is replaced by an URL [21:51] guntbert, no prob but it is a undo command [21:51] robotti^: Rather, radeon driver is always default but now has 3D acceleration new in 10.04 [21:51] avi_: I guess this might be %u for "user", but I don't find a list either [21:51] hiexpo: no [21:52] avi_: %u one URL, %U several, %f one filename, %F several [21:52] looking it up [21:52] avi_: fairly certain it's uri, not url... [21:52] jrib: avi_ yes uri [21:52] Glebelg, jrib, glebihan, gunbert, Yup. glebihan is correct, I just confirmed with #archlinux. Thanks everyone!

[21:58] robotti^: Now this is a reflection of how the driver looked when it first started supporting 3D. It is already better upstream and continues to get better with games and performance. === Greysc[a]le is now known as Greyscale [21:59] robotti^: You should see this in newer kernels and userspace components, basically newer versions of linux [21:59] soreau: I just tested opengl game, and after that now it is mirroring displays [22:00] robotti^: Use xrandr or gnome-display-properties to fix it [22:00] robotti^: Some games make certain assumptions that do not handle resetting the mode back to what it was before starting it [22:01] soreau: ok [22:01] glebihan: dam my win7 does not want to play nicely :(.

[22:10] R0b0t1, watch the language [22:10] robotti^, what card it is ? [22:10] robotti^: and there is more to come. They have a gallium driver supporting your chipset that uses a different way to implement features which means better opengl extension support [22:10] R0b0t1: that's not appropriate at all. In any case, keep your repeats spaced out at least every 10 minutes.

I'm not repeating my question every five seconds, I try to pace myself. I've found that if I do not repeat my question as the rules say, it does not get answered.

Am I gone loose what I had before or it will just fix my problem? [22:15] fenn_>> what card did you say you had ? [22:15] ok thanx all, for database and something like asp, not just html?

[22:32] :) [22:32] Guest60410: That is irrelevant [22:32] My mate at work mentioned it and I didnt know what it was [22:32] mobasher, somtux : i tried mobasher's link but i got a error after try to run startx, it says "Fatal server error : no screens found" [22:32] is there a way to have sshd allow all users by default? [22:32] jy_moustache: in my case this detected my hardware and produced working xorg.conf [22:32] Guest60410: I have intel, radeon and nvidia. [22:32] androidbruce: sudo fdisk -l to list the drives , with sda= old drive , sdb=newdrive do : sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb, will copy whole thing, grub, too [22:33] soreau, so if you have radeon tell me how do you check up gpu load ? [22:33] sometux : not in my case ;) [22:33] alraune, ahh thanks for breaking it down [22:33] alraune:something like kernel=/......, initrd=/.. [22:33] Guest60410: There is no need to check the gpu. It works fine [22:33] jy_moustache: check the driver line [22:33] soreau, there is !!! [22:33] lxadmin: what do you mean? [22:33] jy_moustache>> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [22:33] alraune, will that copy partitions too? [22:34] androidbruce: yes [22:34] mobasher : already tried, no error message but it doesn"t work [22:34] soreau, how do you know if your gpu is working or not ? if is overheated ? can you configure radeon using OS driver? [22:34] jy_moustache>> once done wait for a few seconds then type gdm [22:34] alraune:i actually meant those grub.conf entry that will help in booting the distro.iso file [22:34] sometux : which one is it N [22:34] ? [22:34] alraune, WOW! so i won't have to partition the disc dd does that for me? [22:34] soreau, withthe OS driver you cant do anything and 3d doesnt work i was talking to people from #radeon for a long time [22:34] b/c i have 3 partitions ubuntu,swap,data [22:35] Guest60410: Well I havent seen your nick there [22:35] OS isnt well working wit new ati cards thats what i learned [22:35] Guest60410: It will. Trust me. [22:35] soreau, you have seen other nick [22:35] Guest60410: I have a 4890 and 3D works perfectly [22:35] jy_moustache: you need to stop gdm and run the command [22:35] (using the radeon driver) [22:35] soreau, you should try catalyst compare it to open source [22:36] How would I best mount ISO files in Dolphin? [22:36] mobasher : actually i got an error message after dpkg-reconfiger : "xserver-org is not installed" [22:36] other thing aboiut OS driver if it damage your GPU there is no warranty at all nothing [22:36] you have to buy new card [22:36] Guest60410: I do all kinds of tests and I know what Im talking about. 3D works fine on newer radeon cards. You are wasting your time by talking [22:36] elijah, see #kubuntu [22:36] soreau: I believe you [22:36] R0b0t1: the only idea I can find is to build libticables3 from sources, but I don't know how it'll work [22:36] i have use 3d on ati cards [22:36] where would you install a php library that would be shared across all virtual host? (ie: Doctrine, Zend Framework, Cake Php) [22:36] soreau: but how about HD video accel..? [22:36] Since when does fglrx come with a warranty? [22:37] with fglrx [22:37] robotti^: You mean like h264 or whatever? [22:37] soreau, so at least tell to thise gouys the truth there is catalyst and it work and have warranty etc instaed talking rubbish OS is the best cuz it isnt [22:37] alraune, dd will partition my disc properly? [22:37] marc__, #php more suitable ? [22:37] Remote SSH connections work only if I put the user in the AllowUsers line [22:37] jy_moustache: what you need to do next is to replace the old xorg.conf file with the new one [22:37] Guest60410: You are uneducated and you need to be quiet [22:37] soreau, have you meet girl tracy on #radeon ? [22:37] if I remove that line no one can log in except for the admin account [22:37] soreau: yes [22:37] it was me [22:38] soreau: is it possibly? [22:38] androidbruce: yes, can add the remaining space later, it's just 1:1 [22:38] soreau, i used OS driver for my new card and the card doesnt work anymore do you remember now? [22:38] alraune, what happens to the extra space? unallocated? [22:38] robotti^: I dont really know, you might ask on #radeon or test it yourself. [22:38] glebihan: I was afraid I'd have to do so. Thanks for the help. [22:38] R0b0t1: you're welcome [22:38] jy_moustache: thats what i did trying to fine tune my X video driver [22:39] sometux, mobasher : when i type gdm it says : "Couldn't connect to system bus : Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket:no file ..." [22:39] robotti^, just try catalyst and see people from #radeon wont tell you catalyst is a way better than OS thats how it work [22:39] buona sera [22:39] jy_moustache: sudo service gdm stop [22:39] androidbruce: see above [22:40] prajul_: so, found it back : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1549847 [22:40] alraune, it's 1:1 meaning? [22:40] jy_moustache: this command will close your current X session and return you to the CLI [22:40] egsome, dunno, it's more a server question, I want to know what would be the best place to put thoses. I'm thinking /usr/share/php/zf and /usr/share/php/doctrine with subfolder for each version... and set everything readonly... but I'm not sure if I should place those in that folder ? [22:40] does anyone know of a good CAS program that will run in Ubuntu? [22:40] I've been having issues getting maxima to work [22:41] sometux, i'm already there, i got now xorg running [22:41] I start a "$ sudo dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdb" As i have understood, dd copies bit for bit (or something?). Does that mean that it copies all bits (indexed or not) to the other drive. Mind, these are two disks with 1TB each and its taking forever (many hours thus far). The reason I am asking is because used disk space is more like 86GB, and I wouldn't understand the need for so long copy-time, but if it copies 1TB (with indexed and un-indexed [22:41] shit) it could take some time. === kronos is now known as Guest97251 [22:41] sometux, i believe it's more a driver problem [22:41] bjaanes: that's really not the best solution, that [22:41] androidbruce: if your old hd had 500 gb, the first will be exact same on the new one, you can add the remaining 1 TB later, after dd it will be what was before (possiblyy unallocated) [22:41] does anybody know how to downgrade a package ? [22:41] bjaanes: it's even a poor solution if you ask me [22:42] Think about alignment constraints [22:42] alraune, ah ok, how long does dd usually take? [22:42] over sata [22:42] sata II [22:42] idletask: Why? Its not for backup or copy, its because of some LVM thingy. Following some tut. [22:43] androidbruce: depends on yor hardware, sudo hdparm -t /dev/sdX will tell you, so can calculate [22:43] marc__, So, #ubuntu-server is more suitable for that. [22:43] bjaanes: you have LVM on the thing? So why not create partitions on the new disk and tar c|tar x? [22:43] a webpage made aware that System/Administration-menu is possible to change, so I removed programrepositories from it (like in 10.10) to make the menu easier to find in (I'm in Synaptic anyway when I change such) and saw that I have an extra programrepositories listed in System/Administration so I wonder where it have come from/why it is there? If I run that one I only get an grey dialog box (wrong grey color) that says "Please run this software [22:43] egsome, ah, didn't know that channel existed [22:43] (I'm using normal ubuntu10.04) [22:43] egsome, thanks [22:43] marc__, No problem, You're welcome. [22:44] idletask: I don't have LVM - yet. But its the plan :P My backuppc need some more space ^ ^ [22:44] jy_moustache: seems something wrong with xorg.conf file [22:44] alraune, 105.28mb/sec that's for read [22:44] bjaanes: well, create a PV on your new disk - and what do you plan to do exactly?

[22:45] How would I use grep to search for all files named "dolphin? grep 'dolphin'? [22:45] sometux, my guess is something's broken between the nvidia driver and xorg [22:45] androidbruce: pretty fast [22:45] idletask: I have not come that far into the guide yet. I am basicly just asking if it copies 1TB over, or the 86GB of used space (indexed) [22:45] jy_moustache: so to make sure use the vesa driver [22:46] alraune, what's the write speed then? [22:46] elijah: no, not at all, grep is to search for text into files, what you want is the find command [22:46] my question is where can i download vmware server via apt-get [22:46] bjaanes: it doesn't tell me what you want to do exactly [22:46] can someone explain a line of c code to me? [22:46] idletask: ahh, thanks!

[22:47] find is a monster command dating back from the 80s but God it is powerful [22:47] sometux, actually more like a prompt [22:47] jy_moustache: edit the /etx/X11/xorg.conf file [22:47] androidbruce: I can't predict, but it's usuallyy around 60~80 MB/s for common sataII [22:47] fenn_, after you install it reboot boot again if it work type in terminal fglrxinfo if you get output mean driver installed also check up aticonfig --odgt if no temp info mean you still use ubuntu driver and reconfigure you xorg check up aticonfig --help there is everything [22:47] idletask: Does it matter? I just want to know how dd works (parts, because I'm doing it right now, and parts because I wanna know for some other time). [22:47] jy_moustache: */etc/ [22:47] alraune, well great shouldn't take too long then [22:48] eduedx, 1280x1024 should be a ok vesa-resolution I think... I'm not sure. [22:48] androidbruce: for sure no allnighter :) === geowany_ is now known as geowany [22:48] Guest60410: looks like it may be hanging. should I have shutdown xorg / gdm first? [22:48] alraune, do you recommend any 'ghost' like applications for storing images?

[22:49] sometux, edit section device line Driver ? [22:49] androidbruce: I don't understand.. backup purposes ? [22:49] bjaanes: dd dumps data from an input to an output on bloc boundaries [22:49] block [22:49] bobo123: i got sis m650 btw [22:49] jy_moustache: yes [22:49] alraune, right so i can make an image of my drive and keep it on an external and my server [22:49] fenn_, just check up after you installed cata;lyst and rebooted aticonfig --help there are all command how to reconfigure xorg what to do if ubuntu boot in low resolution or doesnt boot at all cuz of xorg problem or how to check load or temp [22:49] alraune:thank u very much === chavez is now known as Guest31994 [22:50] fenn_, you dont need to uninstall OS or any ubuntu drivers or anything [22:50] bjaanes: the thing is, with newer disk about to come, using dd to copy data over is a very, very bad idea [22:50] sometux, i just write VESA ? [22:50] dd is just copying content, not creating a file for archiveing [22:50] I have a quick question: How can i change what is run when i log onto ubuntu? I know there is a way to change "Startup Applications", but i want to be able to change things like gnome-panel getting run, as well as nautilus for the desktop. [22:50] Because 4k-block disks are coming [22:50] jy_moustache: make it lower case [22:50] androidbruce: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb1/SomeImagename.iso will do such, too [22:51] alraune, WOW, i love this dd command [22:51] Guest60410: should it display anything after Architecture and X Server versions? it is just sitting there ... makes me nervious. [22:51] idletask: Are you talking about SSD? I could understand how dd wouldnt be good for them if dd work the way I think. [22:51] crazy2be: the applications you mention are part of Gnome, so you can't prevent them from starting [22:51] hey alraune i owe you a beer for your help, you have a paypal info link? [22:51] bjaanes: no, not only SSDs [22:51] fenn_, wait 1 min i will boot up ubuntu and will help you with everything one min and i will be back :) [22:51] jy_moustache: to start the X server use this command 'sudo service gdm start' [22:51] androidbruce: I use softraid a lot to prevent data loss, or things like unison for backup [22:51] glebihan: There is no equivalent to the /etc/init directory for the local user? [22:52] idletask: please explain? :) [22:52] androidbruce: no, I'm still learning, world keeps small, keep it like that [22:52] crazy2be: no, but what do you to do that for ? [22:52] can i get 1280x1024 resolution with vesa drivers? [22:52] alraune:this dd ..of= is for output file isnt [22:52] alraune, softraid,unison? are they automated?

[22:53] bjaanes: if you try and dd an entire disk, you will end with partitions _not_ aligned to sector boundaries and performance will suffer a great deal [22:53] sometux, it seems like my *hardware* screen/display is not recognised [22:53] alraune, wow [22:53] alraune, can you dd from one partition to another? [22:53] And anyway, it's still better to create partitions, mount them and tar|tar [22:53] sometux, that's all actually, i gave you everything [22:54] has anyone got vmware running on linux [22:54] alraune, so this dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb3/SomeImagename.iso [22:54] alraune, so this dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sda3/SomeImagename.iso [22:54] fenn_, see me on prv its me guest :) [22:54] !anyone | baaaaaaa [22:54] baaaaaaa: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

That is, a full screen web browser and nothing else. This would happen when you log in as a passwordless user. There would be another normal desktop user for configuring the kiosk, without these restrictions. I want to the webbrowser to autorestart if it crashes, and ubuntu to automatically connect to some wireless or wired connection. [22:54] androidbruce: in raid 1 you use two attached drives, which mirror each other, unlikely to drives fail same time, yes dd works into partitons, too [22:54] alraune, AWESOME! [22:55] alraune: actually no, in RAID 1 you use n disks, not only two [22:55] alraune, i LOVE learning! this is awesome [22:55] alraune :isnt it dd if=/iso file of=/sda [22:55] glebihan: The upstart tool would allow me to do this easily on the system level, but i'm looking to do it just for a single user. [22:55] But if you have more than 2 it's better to use RAID 10 [22:55] eduedix: yeah vesa shuold work for anything (but slow). you should be able to reach 1024x768 on all graphics cards with it. possible 1280x1024 too. [22:55] baaaaaaa, vmware isn't available from the Ubuntu repo (but VirtualBox is if you are interested in an alternative), download VMWare from their website - if it's a .bundle - make it executable then run it with sudo to install [22:55] crazy2be: what you can do is create a script with the applications you want to run, and start it with xinit [22:55] I'm not 100% sure [22:55] fenn_, are you still here ? [22:55] idletask, can you recommend a reliable raid card? [22:56] prajul_: no , if=source of=destination [22:56] androidbruce: why a RAID card? Linux has software raid [22:56] sometux, ok give me 3 min time to reboot [22:56] a card is better no? [22:56] bobo123: in Xorg.log it says "not using built-in mode 1280x1024 ( hsync out of range)" [22:56] glebihan: How? Where do i put this script? [22:56] androidbruce: with the added bonus that if you move your disks to another machine, the RAID still works - which is _not_ the case with hardware/firmware RAID [22:56] bobo123: i guess that why its not available in the list of monitor settings [22:57] androidbruce: only slightly so performance wise, so it's really not worth the hassle [22:57] crazy2be: you can put it wherever you want, and start it with "xinit /full/path/to/script" [22:57] join #gliwice [22:57] join #gliwice [22:57] w [22:57] netsta [22:57] forti: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:07] jy_moustache: the load lines and the BusID [23:08] i downloaded the .deb for Gnaural, apparently doesn't know how to open .deb's [23:08] * kneaux is pretty new here [23:09] kneaux, "sudo dpkg -i PACKAGENAME.deb" to install [23:09] specifically, archive manager opened the .deb and didn't know what to do [23:09] haha, ok, so simple in the end :) was totally out of ideas, thanks a lot man! ;) [23:09] sometux, tried to startx on that and says the same error "(EE) [drm] failed to open device" and "(EE) No devices detected" [23:09] kneaux: try 'sudo gdebi whtever.deb' also.

[23:12] kneaux: in terminal you can use gdebi [23:12] Can I mount DMG files directly inside Linux? I am trying to mount DMG files which are actually FAT32 from my camcorder, they esixt on a HFSPLUS partiion on an external drive. [23:12] 2.6.35 kernel from kernel-ppa has btrfs support - great [23:12] kneaux: sudo gdebi foo.deb works from the terminal. thats what i use 90% of the time these days [23:13] glebihan: it's not installed. i just prefer not to install new packages, is there a slim sexy gui-less version of this available?

[23:14] Can you direct me to an appropriate channel? [23:14] Isonyx: You have installed the 'build-essential' package? (like i mentioned earlier?) [23:14] Dr_Willis, is gdebi part of aptitude?

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [23:15] Isonyx: you may first want to google for "ubuntu eclipse" [23:15] sometux, :) [23:15] I'm sure there's a repo somewhere for that [23:15] ZykoticK9: its a gui front end. its nice in that it checks and pulls in needed deps for a .deb packge. [23:15] !eclipse [23:15] jy_moustache: first try the open source driver [23:16] adddeb repo's [23:16] Dr_Willis: I can view the HFS partition just fine but when I try to mount the DMG file using mount -t hfsplus -o loop I get an error "wrong fs type..." [23:16] , if I do a mount -t fat32 -o loop I also get an error but different, "unknown filesystem type 'FAT32'" [23:16] sometux, actually it worked just fined until today [23:16] glebihan, Dr_Willis: so i could entirely apt the package, but i'd rather figure out a way to associate it with a dpkg command to save time, love and money. that said, i'm giving up in t-2m. If anyone can give me an answer, I'll give you a netjob. [23:16] elijah: I'm not sure dmg files are loopback files at all [23:17] I am basically trying to mount FAT32 DMGs. [23:17] elijah: maybe there's a FUSE module for dmg files? [23:17] sometux, i upgraded the driver version as suggeste automatically and since ... trouble [23:17] kneaux: dpkg -i package.deb [23:17] jy_moustache: if you want to install the proprietary driver, go to system -> administration -> additional drivers [23:17] idletask: How would I find that out? [23:17] sometux, s'what i did :) [23:18] kneaux: in the next release .deb's will be assoicated with the Software control center thing. [23:18] dr_willis: wicked cool [23:18] kneaux: would be if the softare center thign was not lacking in so many ways... [23:18] Oh, well I'm wrong, actually, those _are_ disk image files [23:18] jy_moustache: why don't you try to remove the driver first [23:18] Dr_Willis, sorry i thought you said that gdebi wasn't install in mav, and i knew aptitude wasn't install in mav by default. so was just curious if they where related (and it would make sense they are, apt-get + dpkg & aptitude + gdebi) - i remember you introducing me to gdebi a couple of months ago :) [23:18] sometux, good idea i'll try that [23:19] ZykoticK9: in 10.10 its not. :) being replaced. .deb -> default app will be the software center. [23:19] glebihan, i'll fondle around with the file association handler, thingy, i'm not sure how to pass it the filename ($$1 or w/e) but if it works i'll stop talking [23:19] eduedix: have you searched for "sis m650" +ubuntu on the web? perhaps forum have discussed it and found a better solution [23:19] ZykoticK9: apitude and synaptic also being not instaleld byd efault [23:19] idletask: When I do a "file filename.dmg" I get "VAX COFF executable" [23:20] oh, open with custom command > dpkg -i ? [23:20] kneaux: the command I gave will only work in a terminal, you could use a little script to open a terminal automatically [23:20] kneaux: given how rarely one actually installs .deb's - its proberly nor worth working to much on. :) [23:20] kneaux: or specify Terminal=true in .desktop file [23:21] Dr_Willis, LIES >:D [23:21] Dr_Willis: what?? synaptic not installed by default in ubuntu10.10??? [23:21] kneaux: 'xterm -e sudo dpkg -i $1' or similer. [23:21] glebihan: How does GNOME start itself when you log in with the login manager (e.g. gdm)? [23:21] bobo123: correct. (thats how i hear it) [23:21] Dr_Willis, awesome [23:21] Dr_Willis, you read my mind [23:21] ouch! [23:21] sometux, doesn't work either [23:21] crazy2be: this is handled by the Xsession files [23:21] elijah: it means that it's a compressed DMG, according to this page --> http://viaforensics.com/iphone-forensics/mount-dmg-file-mac-disk-image-linux-2.html [23:21] kneaux: rather a waste of effort. given how well gdebi handles it... [23:22] dr_willis: but now, my system is still pequen~o and pretty. [23:22] elijah: so, according to this same page, you need a utility called dmg2img [23:22] night all... [23:22] kneaux: I don't understand why you wouldn't want to use gdebi [23:22] Dr_Willis: Good night [23:23] glebihan: because i don't want to use anything extra. it's not a great reason, but it's still a good reason. [23:23] kneaux: in that case, I don't see how you can handle file association without some script [23:23] for one, i'm trying to learn the system better, and for another it's just more elegant to have less...stuff [23:24] bobo123: unfortunately there is no solution to this particular problem, i have to use vesa drivers [23:24] glebihan: point is the script necessary has a smaller footprint [23:24] bobo123: but it also doesnt seem to be willing to help me [23:24] hey guys, does the ps3 controller work with ubuntu? [23:24] kneaux: so what you need is help writing this script ? [23:24] (usb, not bluetooth?) [23:25] alraune:is it possible to download required debian pkgs for an application (vlc) using apt-get to some other folder /var/cache/apt/archives [23:26] glebihan, more or less. i'm not sure if it'd have to be a specific executable file, though. i do work through x->gnome, and whatever handles file associations has the "use custom command" thang (obviously) [23:26] im having trouble getting my touchpad extra features to work in ubuntu. This is a new laptop so the features have never worked. [23:26] kneaux: yes but in order to use dpkg, you'll need a terminal to be opened [23:26] drew212, Which features do you mean ? [23:27] drew2121: are you using the synaptics driver? [23:27] idletask: i believe so, it came preinstalled [23:27] there is no "touchpad" tab when i go to the mouse configuration window though [23:28] sometux, thanx for your help. i'm reinstalling :-/ [23:28] glebihan, xterm -e does that, yeah? the question i now have is how to keep it open after the process is finished. [23:28] prajul_: yes, apt-depends lists the packages, and you can wget the packages to any folder [23:28] Sorry if I'm intruding, but could somebody help me out with switching the pull out direction of a nested drawer in Ubuntu? [23:28] bobo123: i think i fixed it [23:28] sometux, no harm intended thanx a lot !! [23:28] idletask xinput list shows ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse [23:28] kneaux: yes I think I got what you need [23:29] drew2121: which means you don't actually use it as a touchpad [23:29] leron: where's your panel, what direction is the drawer opening and what direction do you want it to? (i probably can't answer but i'm interested) [23:29] kneaux: set as custom command "xterm -e 'sudo gdebi %f'" [23:29] idletask: how do i change that? [23:29] :D [23:29] okay fine [23:29] drew2121: I don't really know, in fact I don't have a touchpad [23:29] kneaux: The drawer is on the left side of the bottom panel. It opens straight up, and the drawer inside of it opens to the left, which pushes it off the screen [23:29] ok... [23:30] idletask: i think its a problem with hal [23:30] alraune:will those pkgs work if i tried to install them manually on some later versions on ubuntu [23:30] kneaux: I meant "xterm -e 'sudo dpkg -i %f'", sorry [23:30] ola [23:30] bobo123: lol i had to set up VertSync and HorizRefresh options in xorg.conf [23:30] Alguem brazil? [23:30] Are /tmp folder files safe to delete? [23:30] glebihan, okay, that won't close my terminal after 'sudo dpkg' is finished? [23:30] kneaux: yes it will [23:31] hi guys [23:31] eden, #ubuntu-br [23:31] idletask: kernel isnt detecting my touchpad as a mouse is what the problem is... [23:31] glebihan, i want it to stay open [23:31] my cpus and gpu are 80 degrees and my fans are not increasing from idle [23:31] prajul_: bad risk, then you rather look in the package archive of the the actual distro, else can break your apt there ; FYI : http://www.debianadmin.com/put-an-unpacked-deb-file-back-together-using-dpkg-repack.html , but not in different distros, there you will wget the right version [23:31] glebihan, will putting a '&' at the end accomplish this? [23:31] kneaux: then you're really going to need a little script [23:31] kneaux: no it won't [23:31] kneaux: no this won't work [23:31] ;( [23:32] okay well this has all been informative, so thank you [23:32] kneaux: maybe screen will do what you want [23:32] Hello [23:33] but nevertheless i'm having a terrible nervous breakdown and i think the best thing to do is just install gdebi like you said in the first place ;) [23:33] kneaux: :) [23:33] do i need to open a bug report if kernel isn't detecting my touchpad correctly? [23:33] kneaux: we were almost there... [23:33] glebihan, i shouldn't give up then? [23:33] Actually... [23:33] I think there's a wat [23:34] way [23:34] kneaux: no, in 2 minutes we have a solution === hsr is now known as iop [23:35] kneaux: can you try xterm -e 'date; exec /bin/bash'? [23:35] :-( [23:35] glebihan, ideally this is my framework: the filetype handler [i'm still not clear on what it is, nautilus? some bit of it?] gives a specific command involving 'xterm' and 'sudo dpkg', but the terminal it spawns stays open after the process is finished (so i can see the results, etc etc) [23:35] does anyone know how to enable text to speech recognition in ubuntu 10.04? [23:35] kevin_: I think festival does that. [23:36] drew212: is it listed as supported somewhre ? did you try the onboard-drivers of ubuntu, aka synatics and others ? [23:36] idletask, xterm: Can't execvp date; exec /bin/bash: No such file or directory [23:36] Ah, OK [23:36] kneaux: following idletask's idea, you can put "xterm -e 'dpkg -i %f;/bin/bash'" [23:36] kneaux: this should do the trick [23:36] No, that won't work [23:36] idletask: just tested it works [23:36] xterm execs a single line, it seems [23:36] ahh ok will search ubuntu software center for festival thanks have a great night [23:36] Oh [23:37] Strange [23:37] kneaux: forgot the sudo, but I think you'll be able to add it [23:38] glebihan, barely ahead of you. turns out i downloaded the i386 instead of the x64, but the file association works! thanks a boatload [23:38] kneaux: you're welcome [23:38] hello everyone [23:38] THAT SAID, how do I now go in and delete the bad file associations so nautilus doesn't display them in the "open with:" menu? [23:39] can someone tell me how to connect to irc.moofspeak.net? [23:39] /connect irc.moofspeak.net [23:39] thanks [23:39] kneaux:: left-click > properties [23:40] connect irc.moofspeak.net [23:40] alraune, thanks [23:40] -connect irc.mopofspeak.net [23:40] Hi. Anyone know much about .ppd files with regards to getting a printer working? [23:40] also, hah, gnaural appears to not have an x64 .deb package. BUT THANKS FOR THE HELP, GUYZ :D [23:40] i just installed ubuntu server, and the file /boot/grub/menu.lst doesn't exist. any ideas anyone ?

[23:41] thanks guys [23:41] IRC is crashing a lot [23:41] zwormi, #ubuntu-fr for french [23:41] i assume there's not a general compatibility package for running x386 packages on x64, right? === hsr is now known as iop [23:42] Are /tmp folder files safe to delete? [23:42] kneaux: you can use use getdebs, but not generally supported;; which app ? [23:42] kneaux: yes there is [23:42] iop, why would you want to [23:42] kneaux: maybe you already have the linux32 command [23:42] kneaux: Like I said, the nested drawer opens to the left, but I want it to open to the right so it stops going off screen. Do you or does anyone have a suggestion for a fix? [23:43] kneaux: that's what you need - linux32 thecmd [23:43] bazhang: Aren't they supposed to be deleted by thmeselves? [23:43] Anyone here got a camera working with ubuntu before? [23:43] iop, on a restart? [23:43] It shows up in /dev/video0 so its a start [23:43] andrewfree: few [23:43] I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T510i laptop. After installing Ubuntu 10.04 onto it, the "Rescue and Recovery" partion that shipped with the computer will no longer boot up, since GRUB didn't recognize it. Does anyone know how to either configure GRUB to recognize this partition, or uninstall GRUB? [23:43] andrewfree: my webcam works perfectly [23:43] used zoneminder? [23:44] bazhang: I don't know/// They are same whenever i see them [23:44] bazhang: I don't know whats there importance is! [23:44] iop, best not to touch stuff in / unless you know what you're doing [23:44] kneaux: I'm still playing, if you want to have a nice label for your custom label instead of "xterm", you can do that too [23:45] Is there any particular reason why Nautilus would scramble the file order when I copy MP3s to my music player? [23:45] bazhang: But aren't /tmp files 'temporary'? [23:45] iop, don't delete them manually [23:45] bazhang: Okay.. do you use Amarok? [23:45] iop, no === GoHawks is now known as HawksWin [23:45] iop: you can't know which application is using them if it will still need them [23:46] leron: sorry, i'm not an expert on gnome. i just wanted everyone to know the parameters of your problem. [23:46] bazhang: Which netbook you are running ubuntu on? [23:46] glebihan, i'm not sure i understand [23:46] kneaux: that's fine, thanks for your time [23:47] iop, this is getting offtopic; #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [23:47] kneaux: when you right-click on a deb package, I guess the label of the default command is "xterm" ? [23:47] like, making a file that does this (i.e. a bash script called dpkg-term)? [23:47] Anyone else know how to make a nested drawer open in a different direction? [23:47] eduedix: did you get the graphics to work? nice! [23:47] glebihan, yeah i get what you're saying now [23:47] IRC crashing in ubuntu...help [23:47] kneaux: you can change this to a better value [23:47] hi [23:47] <^james_foo^> silverpower: the file order you see in nautilus is just for display. on the filesystem the order may or may not be different. it totally depends on the application that displays/uses the files [23:47] this is urgent, please inform me how i can control fan speed? [23:47] my fans are not spinning up from idle [23:48] kneaux: but as I said, I'm just playing [23:48] glebihan, do tell [23:48] guys, my cardbus pci adapter doesn't get detected. i should add the option "pci=assign-busses" to my grub config. any ideas how to do this since the config seems to be built dynamically in grub2 ? [23:48] glebihan, according to scientology, everything's a game anyway [23:48] !fan | xover [23:48] xover: fan is Control the fan on/off http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-12058.html [23:48] eduedix: you should write down how you made it work on a webpage somewhere for others to search&find later [23:49] kneaux: in ~/.local/share/applications, you'll find a file named "userapp-xterm-*.desktop" [23:49] eduedix: perhaps you could add a comment on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/368871 [23:49] $5 to whoever wants to help me setup this camera in zoneminder, just PM me [23:49] kneaux: edit it and change the Name value to what you want [23:49] ^james_foo^, um... well, my *player* can't play my MP3s in the correct order - the previous transfers, done on Win7, are ordered correctly, but the ones I did in Nautilus have a scrambled order. It's infuriating. [23:49] glebihan, edit it where? there's no edit button on the "open with" tab in properties [23:50] kneaux: yes, because by default nautilus executes desktop files, you'll have to use a terminal to open it [23:50] idletask, Note, selecting util-linux instead of linux32/ [23:50] util-linux is already the newest version. [23:50] alraune, my fan is not spinning, its sitting at idle [23:50] I just wondered whether it's shuffling my files without telling me, or trying to be cute with that MTP stuff. [23:50] allowing my cpus to burn, why [23:50] the sensors are workin [23:50] alraune:does the command dpkg-repack vlc make a pkg containing all the dependent files atleast for the same release of ubuntu [23:50] glebihan, what should i open in terminal? [23:51] xover: install lm sensors, see if values/sensors are shown, then can control it;; which hardware ? [23:51] silverpower: most mp3 players use id3tag for filename info for ordering. I have seen some that use creation/modification times, and it is just infuriating in general. If you player supports playlists, you might have some luck setting up those. [23:51] kneaux: in terminal, type "gedit ~/.local/share/application/xterm..." [23:51] silverpower: *or filename [23:51] <^james_foo^> silverpower: there *is* no order of files that you should rely on. use a playlist. or let the player play them in alnum order. the order of transfer only sets the file timestamp. if you play in order of timestamp, well, then nautilus is not hte best copier [23:52] I really need help guys [23:52] prajul_: no, that will just give a vlc.deb, apt-depends vlc shows the dependencies [23:52] I can't fix my drivers and I can't remove fglrx in order to reinstall it.. [23:52] ^james_foo^, noted. I'll use MC to do my transfers, then, because my player relies on that behavior. [23:52] (yes, it's a sweatshop special.) [23:52] how good would ubuntu be if everybody that used it was a hacker? O_o [23:52] glebihan, i have ~/.local/share/applications/ but there's no xterm and no ../application/ [23:52] I really need help >:( [23:52] xover: sudo apt-get install lm-sensors && sudo sensors-detect ,answer yes to load/write found ones [23:53] seidos: it would be hopeless, hackers are not the primary target of Ubuntu [23:53] is it possible to set synaptic to not just go install packages that is "recomended"? To more like give an opt-in list the recomended ones for me to select if I want during installation of a program like krusader? [23:53] You don't want Ubuntu to become Gentoo, do you? [23:53] alraune:is it possible to pack all dependent files into a single dpkg file === root is now known as Guest63916 [23:53] kneaux: yes it's applications, and the file must be named somthing like "userapp-xterm-*.desktop" [23:53] <^james_foo^> seidos: it would me much smaller [23:53] Anyone? :( [23:53] What happens if you force dd to quit? disk to disk copy [23:53] bobo123: there is a --no-install-recommends switch [23:54] ^james_foo^, you mean not as much hd and ram usage? you think gnome would be included? [23:54] alraune:just like the installation file that we get in windows [23:54] Anyone got an idea? [23:54] prajul_: you rather have a simple script to intstall them [23:54] bjaanes: well, it stops [23:54] bobo123: and it is possible to change the default behaviour, i could look that up if you wish [23:54] Quite undramatically [23:54] seidos: it whould be nice though if ubuntu helped the users to painlessly become hackers :-) [23:54] glebihan, okay, sorry i didn't notice. i have four files in .../aplications/ named 'userapp-xterm-.desktop', i'll go check them out now [23:54] thune3: ok [23:54] but, my original statement was that every current user, was able to improve the system by modifying the source code. [23:54] <^james_foo^> seidos: uh? gnome *is* included [23:54] zz [23:55] <^james_foo^> seidos: oic. yes. gnome would *still* be included :) [23:55] kneaux: once you're done, you'll have to restart nautilus in order for changes to be applied [23:55] xover:kinda hardware ? modern pwm (3wire) fans ? [23:55] ^james_foo^, what do you mean by "smaller"? [23:55] * seidos meanders to ubuntu-offtopic. [23:55] alraune, macbook pro [23:55] <^james_foo^> seidos: i think you're looking for debian [23:55] guys, how do i add an option such as for example pci=assign-busses in grub2 ? [23:55] idletask: orly? :P I just wondered if there were any risk of corrupting the disk (ofc the of= could be, but how about if=) [23:55] UNIX really came from berkely? [23:56] Anyone got an idea how do I remove fglrx in order to reinstall it? [23:56] xover: so I guess so, no personal experience with it, sudo pwmconfig < bjaanes: dd will never botch its source file [23:56] <^james_foo^> elitexray: bsd came from berkely [23:56] whats the notation to "allow" all addresses in range 192.168.1.x ? === darksector_ is now known as pronoy [23:56] Fortunately [23:56] idletask: thanks, all i wanted to know :D [23:56] ^james_foo^, no, i think i'm thinking along the lines of what bobo123 was saying. like ubuntu taught everybody to be a hacker. [23:57] !ot | elitexray seidos [23:57] elitexray seidos: #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! === pronoy is now known as DarkSector [23:57] alraune, pwm-capable sensor modules installed [23:57] alraune, "There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed" [23:57] <^james_foo^> seidos: calm down and wait 10 years :) [23:58] xover: you ran the sensors-detect ? some found ? [23:58] hello [23:58] Ubuntu forum hasn't been able to give me support on my video driver issue [23:58] I just downloaded the Ubuntu 10.10 netbook iso [23:58] seidos: I would love to be able to rightclick on the titlebar on any application and select "Change this program" and ubuntu should automaticly download the source and load it in an userfriendly integrated development editor. (and in the IDE's the run-menu have a "put my changed program back into /usr/bin/whatever) [23:58] how do I get it on a usb stick? [23:58] Kendalja, #ubuntu+1 for that [23:58] Neither wine, nor ubuntu irc chat [23:58] i haev a question.... ubuntu keeps turning my screen off and locking down. how do i keep it from doing that? [23:58] bobo123, talk to me in ubuntu-offtopic or pm [23:59] !unetbootin > Kendalja [23:59] madch0z, set in screensaver preferences [23:59] Kendalja, please see my private message [23:59] bazhang: thanks. ... isnt ba zhang chinese? eight somethin... [23:59] madch0z: it might also be a power config setting
