[00:14] What was the command to remove unused stuff again [00:14] hiexpo, Using an add-on just like you did in windows. [00:14] elijahlynn, Do you mean sudo apt-get autoclean and sudo apt-get autoremove ? [00:15] I'm using a netbook with Lubuntu. I can't see the splash (sometimes I see a little bit of the last frame). This could be because of the screen resolution not being detected fast enough, or something [00:15] my youtube videos are really choppy using firefox on ubuntu [00:15] can see the splash on poweroff, though [00:15] edbian, isn't youtube-dl an add on ? [00:15] hiexpo, idk. [00:15] ThinWhiteDuke: tip: pause the video while it downloads, go o the /tmp folder, and see the video from there [00:15] elijahlynn its dropped you to a shell? [00:16] Edbian yes that's it [00:16] hiexpo, firefox is plateform independent so firefox addons are platform independent [00:16] youtube-dl is a command-line program [00:16] R007 yes [00:16] elijahlynn type init 3 [00:17] I am using an HP Proliant DL380 G3 server and lm-sensors doesn't detect any sensors at all when using the sensors-detect script.

[00:18] Nothing happened [00:18] elijahlynn hmm try reboot [00:18] lol cousteau [00:18] that would work [00:19] since vlc plays videos fine [00:19] but not what i was looking for :) [00:19] ThinWhiteDuke: indeed it does...

[00:19] *apache [00:19] I power cycled the computer to get to tty to begin eith [00:19] I cant open my WD external hard disk [00:20] look, flash for linux works horribly bad, that's why I always try to avoid using YouTube directly [00:20] ThinWhiteDuke: option 2 is install GreaseMonkey and the YouTube Perfect script [00:20] ThinWhiteDuke: or, make sure you have adobe flash, and not any other (gnash, swfdec...) [00:20] Does anyone know if they got rid of /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.conf in Ubunu server 10.4? [00:20] edbian, oh so firefox has addons that will download youtube vids kool [00:21] hiexpo, Yeah. :) [00:21] Rebooting still puts. Me at tty even after auto clean [00:21] hiexpo: loads of.

[00:23] !details | H2X [00:23] H2X: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [00:23] Man, running out of space sure jacks a system up [00:24] SubCool: for all three OSs = Mac, Lin, Win? [00:24] I didn't have much time to react either as it was downloading eclipse [00:24] How can I recover? [00:25] elijahlynn live cd [00:25] what can happen if you modify grub.cfg directly, apart of it being rewritten each time the kernel is updated? [00:25] elijahlynn: if you have livecd or pendrive you can chroot into your faulty install, I guess. [00:25] All the hidden files in my home folder add up to over 200 Meg [00:25] cousteau: a mess. =P [00:26] elijahlynn: what exactly happened? [00:26] trakinas, ya- [00:26] elijahlynn depending on how your partioned you can just reinstall the system and leave your /home intact [00:26] Trakinas will deleting files for more space help?

[00:27] I did so much configuration already I would like yo keep it it possible [00:27] Dan yes [00:27] I need some help getting a thin client acting as a server...can anyone help? [00:27] elijahlynn: have you checked your apt stuff, and cleared out some space? [00:28] cousteau: depends on what you change. you can change something that makes it impossible to boot into a system because is wrongly mapped, for example. [00:28] please I need help [00:28] but that already happened with grub1, right? [00:28] SubCool: You will be stuck witj FAT unless you add support for another FIle System to one of the given 3 systems [00:29] H2X: do you know the format of the drive? [00:29] for example, you could use ext2, but you'd have to add mac and win capabilities of reading ext2. [00:29] Dan no where is that? [00:29] you could use HFS and add win and lin hfs... and so on. [00:30] NTS [00:30] elijahlynn: I can help check your apt stuff, just let me know. And also, please use my full name ie Chog[tab] [00:30] H2X: were you using it in windows recently? [00:30] hi!, im looking for some help, i dont want to bother someone though >.< [00:30] .. ugh, oh well. Thanks!! trakinas [00:30] yeah windows 7 [00:30] goddard: as an NAS server? http server? ftp server? [00:31] Dan I can't tab on my android [00:31] H2X: maybe try booting up in windows, accessing it there, and then making sure to unmount the driver properly in windows, ie, use the usb removal thing [00:31] Andchat is super buggy too right now [00:32] I'm startting live CD [00:32] elijahlynn: ok, I might miss your messages, that's all. if you have cleared out some space, try apt-get install -f [00:32] elijahlynn: try connecting from mibit.com (i think it is .com) [00:32] Im not getting the results Im expecting by using 'aptitude purge' it removes the package openoffice.org-core just fine but wont touch all the other openoffice.org-crap, which really isnt helping me at all. So my question is how do I uninstall a package and all the useless dependencies that are no longer needed? [00:32] which command do i use if i want a description of a certain packet? [00:33] Mbbit blocker free node. A while ago [00:33] so, Im trying to setup OpenNMS to monitor my Apache on localhost. I have onfigured it just like their wiki says, but I still cant see Apache on my node's list. [00:33] hi, i want some help please (this place seems to be very crowded xS ) [00:33] elijahlynn: oh, bollocks! =/ [00:33] Bortron: ask. don't ask for help [00:34] Bortron: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [00:34] pfifo: i think "apt-get clean" will do it [00:34] SubCool: You are welcome! I just wonder why the other systems don't have ext2/3 natively (does this word exist?). I suppose it is open source and they can freely implement it. [00:35] thanks im sorry, ill do it that way [00:35] Where can I report bugs on the Light themes? [00:35] Bortron: no problem! [00:35] pfifo, actaully, i mean "apt-get autoremove" [00:35] pfifo: you could try sudo apt-get autoremove --purge openoffice-* just be careful [00:35] Hello everybody. Do you know wich is the gamers channel and counter strike fans in the irc? [00:35] pfifo make sure you check what dependencies its going to remove though [00:36] ChogyDan, careful of what? [00:36] my wireless connection isnt working it seems to be conected but i cant access internet in any way [00:36] pfifo: that nothing extra gets removed [00:36] davirrirri: probably not in freenode, maybe quakenet or efnet... [00:36] pfifo ask elijahlynn [00:36] can anyone recommend a good program to annotate pdfs, such as highlighting? or is my best bet to convert to postscript? [00:37] I will try thanks for advice [00:37] davirrirri: probably on a different network === SpockVulcan is now known as AndrewMC [00:37] cousteau, ok thanks. But this channels is for gnu/linux users? [00:37] okok, now this presents a different problem, i just now installed xchat, it installed libsexy tcl and xchat-common, if i wanted to remove xchat now, a wildcard would not work... is apt-get completly incapable of walking backwards through dependencies? [00:38] This is a huge bug [00:38] davirrirri: freenode is mostly for software development and the like... [00:38] pfifo yum aint much better but pretty much [00:38] ok when i start an ion3 session from gdm there's this mysterious square window in te lower left corner on top of everything [00:38] what is it and how do i get rid of it [00:38] I booted mint live CD [00:38] davirrirri: I suggest you to google for "irc counter strike" or something like that [00:39] whyme: You can use Okular to anotate, but Im not sure if you can save them to another pdf [00:39] ok then, r007 ChogyDan, an easy one, how can i look at what package X needs for dependencies, and also what package Y is being used by? [00:39] whyme: but you can do this - there's a program called Xournal which can anotate PDFs. You make the anotations there and save the output as PDF [00:39] trakinas: whyme didn't work for me when I tried it once.. unfortunately [00:40] whyme: then, you use another program I can't recall its name that can merge pdfs to merge your anotations to the original pdf [00:40] pfifo: apt-cache depends ; aptitude why [00:40] Ok, I am back and off Android now [00:40] ChogyDan, ok cool, i should be able todo it manually now, thanks [00:40] cousteau, yeah! i am doing that, but not find very much [00:40] tjanks [00:41] pfifo apt-rdepends [00:41] trakinas: I'll give Xournal a try, I didn't like Okular. [00:41] ChogyDan, one last thing, can I get it to automatically remove anything that aptitude why would return no packages for [00:41] So, I am downloading Eclipse via package manager (apt-get) and I get a low diskspace warning, next thing I know I am getting all sorts of crashes and everything is locked up. I manually hard reset computer, then all I can get is TTY. How can I recover my system? [00:42] pfifo: I use gtkorphan for that. I really don't know much beyond that [00:42] Bortron: try double checking its key (password). and can you find your router properly? [00:42] While in TTY I did apt-get autoremove AND apt-get autoclean [00:42] the problem was installing eclipse in the first place hth [00:42] Now I am on a Linux Mint LIVE CD and the partition is showing 1.5 GB of free space but it still only boots to TTY [00:42] whyme: Xournal is a really simple program for anotations. when you first run it you will have to go to file > add pdf or smth like this. [00:42] elijah: have you cleared /tmp? apt-get install -f? [00:42] I did quite a bit of configuration setting up Java etc [00:43] elijah is the gui installed? [00:43] So I don't want to reinstall [00:43] i've already double checked the password, and no i can't acces the router menu, my signal is good i can access it from win 7 [00:43] ChogyDan: I will try that [00:43] r007: I don't know what that means? [00:43] whyme: you can read, anotate and save the anotations on Xournal format. then, after everything is okay you generate the pdf. [00:43] elijah with the run level you ran the apt autoclean it probably removed gnome === phuzion_ is now known as phuzion [00:44] Hi, anyone can field a webcam question using the streamer program? Like streamer -c /dev/video0 ... [00:44] r007: Ok, good to know [00:44] I am using Kubuntu, btw [00:44] Basically, I get error, can't use video size [00:44] elijah kde then [00:44] elijah: so your livecd is mint, but you have kubuntu installed on the andriod? [00:44] r007: How would I get it back? [00:45] elijah reinstall it [00:45] ChogyDan: No, I have Kubuntu installed and was using Android cuz Kubuntu was halted === DarkJuju is now known as Dakusonikku [00:45] r007: How would I do that? [00:45] elijah apt-get install ubuntu-desktop should do it [00:45] r007: Even if I am in a live cd? [00:46] When using the TTY in Kubuntu I have no network access [00:46] elijah r007: it is kubuntu-desktop, and yeah, you would have to chroot [00:46] elijah, I really doubt linux won't boot if it booted once already, it never happened to me before [00:46] compaq: It boots but boots to TTY [00:46] there [00:46] trakinas: Xournal is interesting.. glad you suggested it.. pdfedit is a bit difficult to annotate with. [00:47] need help with my ubuntu server, anyone available to help? [00:47] hello [00:47] hello fellas I want to install the right driver for my ati card [00:47] hey [00:47] ChogyDan r007: So I would do that while at the TTY or while using the live cd [00:47] can I take it in PM? [00:47] Zyklon: everyone.. but you have to ask a specific question [00:47] Help [00:47] alright [00:47] elijah you can use the livecd, you would just have to follow my commands [00:47] asddsa [00:47] the max res it can do is 800x600 totally sucks that maximun my monitor can do is 1024 so I want dat [00:47] oops wrong window [00:47] if u know pm me please [00:48] ChogyDan: Ok, I can do that [00:48] !resolution | rapage [00:48] rapage: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [00:48] elijah, oh, then you don't need a live cd then, if you are having problem you can install the missing package, but you don't need a livecd at this point, cause it boots [00:48] I'm not the root user on my ovh, have a user called admin and wonder if there is someway that I can install a remote service like vnc or something to regain control of my server [00:48] ? [00:48] I got shell access on that user [00:48] i'm sure its the right password, and i get an IP and gateway from the router but most of the time i cant acces the web, not even the router control panel [00:48] compaq: Sort of, I can boot to tty with no net access. Live CD is at least letting me get good advice from you guys [00:49] elijah: can you look at webpages? [00:49] elijah, is there internet cable plugged in? [00:49] I can only get net access with live cd [00:49] Zyklon: there is no root user.. to issue commands as root use suto before the command.. with no gui you can log in remotely with ssh.

[00:50] :p [00:50] elijah: you need to make sure you know the partition structure of your drive [00:50] Zyklon: vnc is if you have a gui installed.. do you have the desktop gui installed? [00:50] compaq: the wifi? [00:50] Zyklon: please use single lines, can you pastebin the error? [00:50] it's possible to use as gui yes, but I'm not that experienced [00:50] yes 2sec I can paste the error [00:50] I need some help getting a thin client acting as a server...can anyone help?

[00:51] Izinucs: yes, and it's from a Win7 computer [00:52] trakinas: my card has an RTL 8187 chipset [00:52] ChogyDan: So I would do that within the livecd, and then while still in livecd I would do "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"? [00:52] compaq: No, I don't think so [00:52] Datz: get your livecd/pendrive, boot it. chroot into your ubuntu install. have fun. [00:52] Bortron: I used to have one of this before. [00:52] Zyklon: ok.. putty is a program that will allow you to log into the server with ssh in a cli mode.. no gui .. will that work for you? [00:52] compaq: Oh, you mean for wifi, yes, I do [00:52] elijah: yeah, but when you chroot, you are kinda onto the harddrive [00:52] is there a safe way to upgrade vim to the latest 7.3 on ubuntu 10.04, after apt-get upgrade im still on 7.2 [00:52] Bortron: worked okay.

[00:54] trakinas: nope [00:54] r007: cool thats what looked like the best option, should i have to uninstall/ do anything with the previously installed version which came with my default install? [00:54] there is the error [00:54] Datz: if not, you have to run grub inside your partition so it can rescan your drive. to do that you need to chroot into it somehow. [00:54] trakinas: actually I just need a tutorial, i've done this several times before [00:54] Zyklon: and is that when you're trying something locally on the server ? [00:54] but what I'm actually try to do is to run a www server [00:54] Zyklon: do you have any other installers open, like synaptic? [00:54] Datz: I think i have a link somewhere. wiat a sec [00:54] trakinas: its very weird because at some random times for a small amount of time the conection works, i also typed iwconfig and it says mi card is asociated and that [00:54] SolarisBoy I would remove the current package beforehand [00:54] trakinas: thanks [00:54] Zyklon, I did it, I just did apt-get install apache [00:54] Hi - Just installed the ubuntu server and it's running off a wireless connection but I have ethernet. How do I switch to ethernet?? [00:54] iIzinucs: t's when I'm trying to install something from putty on SSH [00:55] it's* [00:55] through* [00:55] !reconfigure grub [00:55] ChogyDan: mint@mint ~ $ sudo mkdir /mount/point - mkdir: cannot create directory `/mount/point': No such file or directory [00:55] jhine you need to use nics and ethernet cables [00:55] Zyklon, bam, I had my webserver, just open up firefox, and type in localhost.com or you ipaddress [00:55] Zyklon: ok.. so you're logged in via putty and ssh into the server and you try suto apt-get install and it gives that error.. right?

[01:34] of course [01:34] is there some option for dpkg or synaptic, to list installed packages sorted by size? [01:34] Izinucs: xmonad [01:34] Izinucs: and shells :) [01:35] o-brown: I can't. I asked you about FreeNAS because I was going to ask something about FreeNAS. =P [01:35] elijahlynn, once you are the net, installing kde should be as easy as apt-get install kde [01:35] trakinas: that line didn't remove my space :( [01:35] ddilinger: wow. shells I know.. but xmonad? even after 5 years of linux I've never heard of that one [01:35] trakinas: there are similar problems related to a kernal bug that's some 3 years old... [01:35] trakinas: ooh ok ok sorry [01:35] but they all have to do with ehci [01:35] and recommend rmmod ehci-hcd [01:35] I have uhci [01:35] o-brown: hehe! no problem mate. [01:36] so I was wondering if I can just switch that up [01:36] elijahlynn, why don't you use the live cd to back up you data and do a fresh install, do you install a lot of programs and make a lots configuration changes that you won't soon remember? [01:36] Izinucs: xmonad is a window manager with no window borders and minimal mouse controlls, it tiles windows for you instead of you choosing positions, although you can cycle through tiling layouts [01:36] or if that would seriously bork my system [01:36] Izinucs: mostly managed from the keyboard [01:36] elijahlynn, hehe, I will have that probalem when I buy a new computer [01:36] Compaq I lost all that info on reboot can you repost? [01:36] Flomaster: one sec. [01:36] ddilinger: interesting.. kinda like blackbox? [01:36] elijah, do the iwconfig, to find the wireless card which will probably be wlan0, and then the iwconfig wlan0 key FEFEFEFEFE I mentioned, and then apt-get install kde stuff, kdm, and then you can come back here. [01:36] foo bar .txt needs to be foo bar.txt [01:36] I'm trying to run ubuntu in virtualbox, but I'm getting strange issues with my eclipse installation [01:36] elijahlynn, who's internet is it anyway, can't you plug in for a few minutes, just to install kde? [01:37] It says that it can't find the file [01:37] hv: there's more documentation on it too, check it out. I was looking earlier today just to see what data gets into cache [01:37] but ls and stat show it [01:37] very strange [01:37] Datz: do you have some pointers? [01:37] Flomaster: it worked here [01:37] bash: ./eclipse: No such file or director [01:37] Izinucs: havn't used blackbox much but i think blackbox is more traditional. In xmonad windows tile, so if i have 2 windows open each takes half the screen, if i hit alt-enter to open a new console one of those windows gets cut in half auto-magic and we now have 1 window half size and 2 windows 1/4 size === _TechAway_ is now known as _Techie_ === Zeike is now known as brandonj [01:38] rxKaffee: dpkg-query -W -f='${Installed-Size} ${Package}\n' | sort -n [01:38] I copied the eclipse installation from another machine [01:38] ddilinger: and you do this type of window manager because? you like to be different? :) [01:38] Could it be that the file system is different? [01:38] what is uhci? [01:38] vboxsf vs ext3 ? [01:38] Flomaster: http://pastebin.com/HN3Z8WY2 [01:39] any fix for atheros card using ath9k being slow? [01:39] ddilinger: maybe it's faster for you being keyboard driven [01:39] Izinucs: because i dont like using my mouse, i mostly spend my time editing text files with vim (css/python/php/etc.) [01:39] bobbytek2 whats the source of the file [01:39] Izinucs: hands already on the keyboard, its convenient and without window borders i get more screen space [01:39] bobbytek2: get into your eclipse folder and issue ./eclipse from there. [01:39] thune3: thanks pal! [01:39] ddilinger: ah.. now that makes sense.. cool.. I like the idea.. but my uses go beyond that.. photo editing and other stuff like that.. [01:39] Evening everyone, hope you all fair well. [01:39] hv: I could find other links I guess, but it's normal activity, to speed things up [01:40] Izinucs: yea, if your already on the mouse alot its not very usefull :) [01:40] trakinas: ok after running the command it drops me down to the next line with a > [01:40] ddilinger: I use a plugin for compiz taht imitates xmonad. really usefull. [01:40] Flomaster: control+C [01:41] Flomaster: use the second one. [01:41] trakinas: the files are *.zip so I changed your .txt to .zip [01:41] ddilinger: mouse.. graphic tablet etc.. I did live at cli for everything but the gui editing stuff for a while.. tought me a lot.. elinks, mutt, screen and lots of other stuff.. [01:41] Flomaster: txt was just for testing. ;] [01:41] sweet it worked [01:41] Flomaster: rename "s/ *//g" *.zip ---> the line should be like this [01:41] trakinas: you Da Man [01:41] what is the email/chat program ubuntu has? [01:41] Datz: but something is not good at my sys. Theoretically it shd increase, but at my sys, it just keeps on increasing the mem usage... and eventually leaves around 100 MB (as per free -m). and my system becomes deadslow then :( [01:41] you are welcome. [01:42] regex saves the day again! [01:42] Hey can someone PLEASE help me? [01:42] PLEASEEEE [01:42] ... [01:42] what is that email/chat program that is at the top toolbar near the clock that ubuntu has? [01:42] r007: a 32bit ubuntu [01:42] http://xkcd.com/208/ [01:42] r007: where did you go? [01:42] :/ [01:42] hv: what is using all the memory when you run "free -m"? [01:42] now I'm running a 64bit version [01:42] Could that be why? [01:42] Dwade09: evolution, empathy [01:43] Dwade09: epifany or epiphany. the setup is in the menu system someplace [01:43] Dwade09: sorry empathy [01:43] I was about to google this problem until I realized how much help is here for Unbuntu users; I'm trying to get Xbox Live working through an ethernet cable running through my xbox--everex unbuntu laptop [01:43] trakinas: I did [01:43] I have a collection of python modules in a folder with a locker on them saying (root).How do I make them available for my user? [01:43] xangua, and Izinucs thank you. [01:43] bobbytek2 no is it on the host ? [01:43] I don't want to login as root to create new python modules in that folder. [01:43] !ics | Magnetro [01:43] Magnetro: 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 [01:43] Maybe the process failed to load due to a bad so [01:43] I don't know how to bridge the ethernet cable and the wireless port tho [01:43] How do I see if a package us installed? [01:43] OH, thanks. [01:43] r007: the install? yes [01:43] Izinucs: yea, you could say i'm stuck in my ways too :) been using debian since late 90's [01:44] I scp'd it over [01:44] HEY SOMEONE THAT HAS UBUNTU IM ME PLEASE [01:44] seans1206: no escribas todo en mayusculas, va contra las normas. La proxima vez seras expulsado. [01:44] ME NO HABLO ESPANOL [01:44] :)) [01:44] there is a 64bit version of eclipse [01:44] seans1206, What's your problem? [01:44] I'm trying to download a fresh version [01:44] ddilinger: only a 5 year babe in the woods here.. know a lot but never enough.. pretty much learn what I need when I need it. [01:44] Izinucs: I have a question you might know, xampp-linux-1.7.3a.tar.gz is installed and running on the server as I showed you but why dosen't the folder show with the ls cmd? [01:45] bobbytek2 share your drive with the guest and copy it across then run it [01:45] <^james_foo^> Yyrkoonod: it's the caps lock obviously:) [01:45] Yyrkoonod: i dont believe you can change/access things without chmoding it... [01:45] trakinas: anyway to remove foo bar (stuffhere).zip so it ends up --> foo bar.zip [01:45] seans1206: ask ! [01:45] Zyklon: maybe because you're not ls-ing in the right spot.. typically the web server files are in /var/www [01:45] yes found it [01:45] trakinas, do you know how can I chmod it to make it available to anyone? [01:45] Dwade09: Notification smth. [01:45] trakinas, chmod+777? [01:46] Izinucs: but what did I have to do to get the page to show instead of that other thing? :P [01:46] http://213.251.168.126/xampp/ [01:46] I want the index to show instead [01:46] yep [01:46] I think I can move stuff [01:46] Yyrkoonod: no necessary. if it is only to access execution and reading [01:46] just need to know how to do it right [01:46] Yyrkoonod: chmod rx+o [01:46] all files are in /var/www/sitename/ [01:46] i dont know the numbering for that. [01:46] trakinas, I want users to write also files there. [01:47] Zyklon: it's something in the xampp.conf file that you have to edit to allow that.. I don't know what to edit.. but if you sudo updatedb then locat xampp.conf it should tell you where it is. [01:47] Izinucs: all files are in /var/www/sitename/ [01:47] write and read is only wr+o [01:47] oki [01:47] Yyrkoonod: my last message was for you [01:47] Izinucs: it hang a bit asked for sudo pass and nothing happened? [01:48] Izinucs the link you gave is too confusing to me.. is there a simpler explaination? [01:48] or video perhaps [01:48] hmm, a fresh 64bit download works [01:48] very weird [01:48] Magnetro: sorry.. remind me what you're asking about [01:48] trakinas: anyway to remove foo bar (stuffhere).zip so it ends up --> foo bar.zip [01:48] I wonder if it is the libcairo-swt.so [01:48] compaq u still here? [01:48] Izinucs: do you know where it's located usually on xammp [01:49] Zyklon you at a point where this is something specific to your box and its setup so you need to go do some investigating and come back with something more specific [01:49] httpd-xampp.conf [01:49] ? [01:49] I'm trying to connect my Xbox 360 to my laptop w/wireless internet to get on Xbox Live Izinucs [01:49] im on a better irc android client now [01:49] but I have no router. [01:49] r007: yeah I know but I think it's possible to get the www site running anyway [01:49] http://213.251.168.126/xampp/ [01:49] New XAMPP security concept: [01:49] Access to the requested directory is only available from the local network. [01:49] This setting can be configured in the file "httpd-xampp.conf". [01:49] just need to do that it seems [01:49] Zyklon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:49] trakinas, and how do I do that from the terminal? [01:50] hi [01:50] sry about abit to many lines there [01:50] Yyrkoonod: chmod rw+o /your/python/stuff [01:50] Magnetro: ah ok.. sorry.. ics is internet connection sharing.. if you're going to use ubuntu to pass the signal from wireless to the xbox you'll have to read and learn a lot.. that link explains ics setup.. beyond that there may be ports that you'll have to open [01:50] where rw+o meand = read/write to others [01:50] r007: do you know where httpd-xampp.conf is usually located? [01:51] Zyklon which means if you can acess httpd-xampp.conf and have perm to modify then you can allow external network conectivity [01:51] yes [01:51] but I would like to try [01:51] Izinucs: Have you done it before? [01:51] Magnetro: no.. never had a need.. [01:51] trakinas, Invalide mode rw+o [01:51] I assume it's under the folder /var/www some place [01:51] I'm trying to get connection sharing running using this guide. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing My problem is that neither computer shows eth0 as a connection option. Any suggestions? [01:51] = [01:51] ? [01:51] Izinucs: Oh, lol.. [01:51] trakinas, I'm logged in as root. [01:51] Zyklon not exactly but try loking under /etc/httpd or use locate [01:51] Magnetro: you can use your PC to share your internet connection if you have a cable. [01:52] I do have a cable [01:52] matter of fact it's connected to the xbox now [01:52] Magnetro: I know about it though.. the concept is simple but implementation can be a pain if you've never done it before [01:52] hi [01:52] r007: sry me but how do I get there from putty? [01:52] Yyrkoonod: the other way round - o+rw [01:52] Izinucs: Right.. that's why I have unbuntu instead of windows. [01:53] Zyklon put the ip address in and hit connect then login [01:53] trakinas, Ok, I'll try right now. [01:53] Zyklon: ls /etc/httpd [01:53] i guess i have to reinstall. all because i ran out of disk space :( [01:53] or cd [01:53] locate: can not open `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db': Permission denied [01:53] larsendt: what options are available? [01:53] fuck [01:53] It's a great skill to have, most of the stuff isn't click-click but understanding the machine and it's functions [01:53] Magnetro: yea with windows it has a wizard for ics.. but it doesn't work .. lol [01:53] ls: cannot access /etc/httpd: No such file or directory [01:53] :/ [01:53] Zyklon youj aint got root then [01:53] what does that mean [01:53] ok [01:53] trakinas, Did, but still available only to root user [01:54] larsendt: eth0 refers to the first hard wired ethernet card, it doesn't have to be eth0 though it could be something else depending on your hardware configuration [01:54] ddilinger: none under wired connections for either computer. The one with internet is connected via wireless [01:54] Magnetro: unless you're on winxp pro [01:54] magnetro: you can use the ubuntu connection smth in the main panel. [01:54] Zyklon you need root access to the box [01:54] Well, I guess i'll float around the net until I find something that can help me [01:54] ??? [01:54] r007: understand, any ideas how I can fix that? [01:54] Trakinas: what's that [01:54] larsendt: it shouldn't need a hard wired connection to attach to(well, maybe that particular admin software, but not the iptables its manipulating) [01:54] Yyrkoonod: cant help you much. really busy to be hones and shouldnt be here. =/ [01:54] trakinas, No problem, thanks anyway [01:54] Zyklon ask who supplies the server [01:54] tried ovh they said they didn't help with that just hardware issues and line probles [01:54] it's OVH [01:55] they have a chan here [01:55] but not very helpful people in there atm:/ [01:55] ddilinger: my problem is that my second laptop's wireless isn't working. I have the ethernet connected, but neither laptop recognizes that it is [01:55] Zyklon tell them you need root access .... [01:55] Zyklon as long as your not on shared hosting lol [01:55] you mean? [01:56] as long as I'm not sharing the server? [01:56] :p [01:56] larsendt: if you do sudo ifconfig eth0 from the command line do you get any info? [01:56] Zyklon you have a dedicated server yeah? [01:56] Datz: free -m doesn't provide you pid specific details. it just tells you the final numbers [01:56] yes [01:56] ddilinger: yep, it spits out the eth0 information [01:56] Zyklon so get the root from whoever set it up for you [01:56] larsendt: so eth0 exists, the network manager just isn't using it for some reason [01:56] where is the text file I see when I connected to my server [01:57] larsendt: you can try wicl [01:57] r007: that's the problem my friend who bought the server dosen't have root either [01:57] he thought he had [01:57] but apparently not [01:57] hv: wicl? [01:57] hv: I don't see any packages by that name [01:58] Zyklon you need to sort your hosting out then not really anything we can help you with [01:58] larsendt: it is a substitute for networks manager. go to synaptic mgr and search over there [01:58] Zyklon you need root access to the server [01:58] r007: I was just wondering if it was someway [01:58] hv: ok [01:58] what's actually the point with the admin user then?? [01:58] yeah I figured that [01:58] :) [01:59] larsendt: it will replace the networks manager with itself. I use it, and it works for me. [01:59] hv: is something out of control in output of "ps axk rss o rss,comm" or "ps axk rss o rss,args" [01:59] Zyklon admin users are either for reswtriction of what can be done via ssh or for control panels like plesk [01:59] that plesk thing where do I find that? [01:59] hv: ok. I'll try it out. thanks for the tip [02:00] Zyklon locate psa [02:00] i'm trying to run blogtk, but it can't gives error: no module named gtkhtml. [02:00] locate: can not open `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db': Permission denied [02:00] ofc [02:00] sudo [02:01] Zyklon again you need root you cant do anything until you have the root pass [02:01] ok [02:01] so I can't even fix the .conf file? [02:01] have you trie sudo? [02:01] yeah [02:01] the locate responded then [02:01] /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-28-generic/include/config/input/mousedev/psaux.h [02:01] thune3: what do you mean by out of control? please explain [02:01] that's the last of many lines then [02:02] hv: something is eating gigs of memory, can you tell what it is? [02:02] so all you need to do is run all the commands with sudo [02:02] yes [02:02] but some states errors [02:02] for some reason [02:03] Zyklon such as? [02:03] the one from earlier [02:03] thune3: i am reading output of the command that you send.... i don't see i can read mem consumption from it. can I? [02:03] Is anyone else running Chromium? [02:03] Zyklon which was? [02:03] r007: such as this one http://paste.ubuntu.com/492829/ [02:04] even I ran it with sudo [02:04] so I don't get it [02:04] something works and some don't [02:04] it's wierd if you ask me [02:04] "Zyklon" Really? That's your nick? What kinda jackass are you? [02:04] lol [02:04] it's not Zyklon B you idiot [02:04] CrtxReavr, there is a #chromium [02:04] just a Z instead of Syklon [02:04] Zyklon can you su [02:05] Pelo: thats for developers [02:05] r007: no [02:05] Pelo: i think its #chromium-help or somethin [02:05] get authentication errro [02:05] can you sudo passwd root [02:05] This may be a platform-specific Chromium issue though. [02:05] sec [02:05] hv: it shows you what top shows for RES. it is how much in-memory consumption per process (though it doesn't account for shared). But you should see something in 6 digits at least. [02:05] ddilinger, don't tell me tell CrtxReavr [02:05] r007: yes [02:06] Zyklon set a root pass [02:06] did it now [02:06] and login as root? [02:06] Zyklon yeah [02:06] sec [02:06] ahh finally [02:07] hello ! :) [02:07] root@ks33885:~# id [02:07] uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) [02:07] root@ks33885:~# [02:07] is that correct? [02:07] :) [02:07] i cannot save my compiz config settings [02:07] I am pretty much mad at all of the techs in here. no one was able to help a simple problem i had. after 3 days i figured it out on my own. why no one had any clue as to the answer, i have no idea. This is me venting. [02:07] root@ks33885:~# ls /etc/httpd [02:07] ls: cannot access /etc/httpd: No such file or directory [02:07] bah [02:07] why you smile?:p [02:07] Zyklon # means you is the daddy lol [02:07] everytime i login to ubuntu i have to reconfigure my seetings to get the effect ....can anyone help? [02:07] thune3: 240476 opera, 722508 java are the top 2 ones. rest are 5 digits (about 10). [02:07] lk [02:08] r007: but do I have access now? [02:08] Zyklon yeah your root [02:08] ok [02:08] so what to do then? [02:08] I get this now [02:08] install_rtm.sh [02:08] ?? [02:09] r007: help plz:) [02:09] Zyklon you need to remind me where were at Im multi tasking [02:09] ahh ok [02:09] zpguy: doing a little work yourself is good too. you cant expect everyone to just give you your answers... [02:09] better in private perhaps? [02:09] r007: I just gained root access to the server it seems [02:09] Zyklon nah keep it in channel [02:09] ok I will [02:09] thune3: meanwhile, it is reduced by 200 mb (output of free -m) in the last 20ish min. now it says 700 mb free (from 900). [02:10] and I get this when I try for example ls -> install_rtm.sh [02:10] ? [02:10] what are you trying to do? [02:10] Zyklon, try a space instead of an underscore install rtm.sh [02:10] Zyklon, never mind me [02:11] ok [02:11] Pelo: I guess the file is named install_rtm.sh [02:11] =P [02:11] I tried to do a regular ls only [02:11] "ls" [02:11] trakinas, that's what I finaly realised [02:11] and it stated back that [02:11] i think i shd search a bit about this command "free -x" to see what it actually does. but i hope there is some transparency about knowing the actual memory usage... [02:11] ls install* [02:11] install_rtm.sh [02:11] ok [02:11] you need sh install_rtm.sh [02:11] yes figured [02:11] what roo7 says [02:11] but how [02:11] type it [02:11] done [02:12] Zyklon: just like that. or perhaps, /bin/sh [02:12] nw [02:12] now* [02:12] or bash. or zsh. or... [02:12] r007: it's done now what? [02:12] I dont fuckin know lol [02:12] okay. Im done with openNMS for today. really confusing..... =/ [02:12] what:P [02:13] now I got root and you don't know?

[02:13] what are you installing what are you prompted with [02:13] hello :o [02:13] r007: i thought the same thing "how can he bloody knows? " [02:13] I need to fix http://213.251.168.126/xampp/ [02:13] Zyklon: cd into that dir, maybe? [02:13] yeah but don't see any dirs now more [02:13] they probably in /home/vhosts [02:14] only install_rtm.sh [02:14] yeah [02:14] found em [02:14] is there a channel to help me setup a router?

It's been a month and it's kinda annoying. [02:30] I think you need a local X11 server for X11 forwarding to work, and Windows doesn't have one. [02:30] ok [02:30] So forget that [02:30] but tensorpudding [02:30] yes [02:30] tensorpudding: actually... [02:31] the thing I need to get to work is the www source [02:31] :) [02:31] tensorpudding: XMing [02:31] Yes, there is XMing, but that doesn't come with Windows, you have to go and download it.

[03:05] I'm familiar with vnc but how to set it up from ssh? === Rudy- is now known as RudyValencia [03:05] Zyklon: ssh tunnle vnc. [03:05] !ssh [03:05] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [03:05] what? [03:05] ssh tunnle vnc [03:06] I just typed that when logged in on putty? [03:06] how can i map an audio device, to send all audio to a web radio or sth [03:06] iluminator101: i'm not sure, does putting single quotes around the package glob help? or you get the same error specifying the package by it's actual name? [03:06] Dr_Willis: explain [03:06] I'm logged in as root [03:06] what do I type to install it? [03:06] Zyklon here is a guide of how to get it to work using putty as the ssh client http://oldsite.precedence.co.uk/nc/putty.html [03:07] thune3, yep same error [03:07] Zyklon are you trying to ssh from a windows or linux machine? [03:07] windows [03:07] so I could as well use tightvnc, realvnc or something === Phil_E_ is now known as Phil_E [03:07] apt-get autoclean didn't do anything [03:08] synaptic says E: The package cupswrappermfc7420 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. [03:08] E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report. [03:08] Zyklon putty will be able to set up the tunnel, then you want to ssh into localhost with a vnc ... putty will then forward that to whatever box you are ssh'd into [03:08] plz HeLP Me !! [03:08] xiaclo: ok but ain't there a easier way to do it? [03:08] Zyklon sorry, vnc into localhost ... ssh into the linux box [03:08] understand [03:09] Zyklon yes, but not secure, that's why you use SSH ... if it's just over a lan, you can just use the IP of your linux machine once you get VNC up [03:09] looks like apt-get clean did the job [03:09] xiaclo: I don't seem to have the x11 package available on the server [03:10] xiaclo: ok, understand [03:10] xiaclo: you wouldn't know how to fix the new security thing in xaamp? [03:10] http://213.251.168.126/xampp/* [03:10] xampp sry [03:10] * [03:10] New XAMPP security concept: [03:11] do you know what I have to do with that file to get the index file in my source to show?

[03:13] sec [03:14] iluminator101: that's not a package in the repos right? it was installed with a .deb file? [03:14] I can't find any sensors with sensors-detect on an HP Proliant DL380 G3 server, it can't be completely senseless can it?? [03:15] hello, greetings from Greece :) [03:15] thune3, thats right i downloaded it from Brother [03:15] i created a new user account on ubuntu 10.04, for my husband. but he doesn't have sudo access. what can i do to fix that? (prefer commandline) === xiaclo_ is now known as xiaclo [03:15] *hugs* RudyValencia :) [03:15] hey [03:15] sorry I've been "bouncy" all day [03:16] chalcedony, edit /etc/sudoer [03:16] and add his accoutn under Root [03:16] np :) [03:16] he meant, /etc/sudoers [03:16] lol yes [03:16] iluminator101: the error message suggests trying to reinstall it and then remove it. either the rm scripts in the package are broken or you manually removed the specified files. [03:16] chalcedony linkinx chalcedony please, never edit /etc/sudoers directly ... use visudo ... it's there for a reason [03:16] ty RudyValencia :) [03:16] right [03:16] use visudo [03:16] xiaclo, ok what do i need to put in there? [03:17] xiaclo: for some reason it's not anything there now [03:17] strange [03:17] xiaclo, ty [03:17] chaledony copy your user line, just put his name, it should be fairly self-explanatory once you open the file [03:17] maybe I'm doing something wrong to try display it with the nano cmd now [03:17] I found it in dir [03:17] root@ks33885:/opt/lampp/etc/extra# [03:18] xiaclo: isn't just to type nano nameoffile then? [03:18] Zyklon where is this server you are trying to access? is it on your local lan? [03:18] France [03:18] no [03:18] it's a dedicated hosted server [03:18] RudyValencia, xiaclo (on my computer - not his - i get an error) $ visudo /etc/sudoers [03:18] usage: visudo [-c] [-q] [-s] [-V] [-f sudoers] [03:18] I'm trying to get Ubuntu installed on my Eeepc 701sd. It uses the rtl8187se wireless driver. It used to work in Jaunty, but Lucid doesn't seem to recognize it's existence. Any suggestions? [03:19] chalcedony: you just need to type visudo [03:19] but now I don't get why I can't get any text from the files when I try to edit them [03:19] :/ [03:19] no need to specify the file [03:19] chalcedony nope, just 'sudo visudo' will work, dont need to supply a file, its only for the sudoers file [03:19] Greets earthlings, how u all been doin' ? :P [03:19] iluminator101: you might also be able to fool with the rm scripts to disable the file checks if necessary in /var/lib/dpkg/info/cupswrappermfc7420* [03:19] hmm [03:19] strange [03:19] suddenly worked again¨ [03:19] :P [03:20] Zyklon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:20] chalcedony the reason i recommend that, is that it will do some syntax checking before saving the file ... so less of a chance you can mess something up and break your sudo privledges too, which isn't pretty to fix [03:20] probably stupid question: I have kvm running a half-done gentoo install on an ubuntu 10.04 host, can I pause the VM, shutdown the host computer, and then start the computer and resume the vm from where I left off at a later date? [03:21] or something else to that effect? :) [03:21] stevefed5291 if you pause the vm, yes you can ... it saves the memory state, like a hibernate, but on a lower level [03:21] i can't save my compiz config setting , everytime i restart my laptop i have to reset the settings to get the effects again. can anyone help??? [03:21] perfect, thanks xiaclo [03:21] xiaclo: sry it took some time but here it is [03:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/492864/ [03:22] the security consept thing is in the bottom as far as I can see [03:22] hope you can help me with that issue [03:22] :) [03:23] Zyklon yeah, it's there for a reason ... i wouldn't remove that ... you want to ssh tunnel into that machine, so you are on the local network rather than opening that server up to the world [03:23] thune3, what should i do then [03:24] xiaclo: ok, so what to do then fix the X11? [03:24] iluminator101: first i would try reinstalling the .deb and then uninstalling. if that doesn't work then maybe disable or modify the specific file tests in the prerm (or postrm) scripts. [03:25] Zyklon you need to get X running remotely first, then worry about pushing it ... it makes it hard, but it can be done [03:25] when using 2 screens as dual screen (TwinView) to extend your desktop, at the wallpapers settings it adds a setting named "bridge" for example to use a wallpaper big enough to continue in both screens.. BUT is there a posibility that i can stretch that wallpaper while it is bridged? because if i choose stretch it justs stretches the wallpaper but in each screen seperatly :( [03:25] xiaclo: but isn't it easier fixing it from ssh? [03:25] or? [03:25] well lets install X then [03:26] Zyklon yeah, ssh is going to be the easiest, but ssh will only give a commandline ... it can also tunnel ports, which will eventually give you graphical access === oracle_ is now known as oracle [03:26] yeah graphical seems best for me [03:26] Zyklon is it a ubuntu install on the server? [03:26] yes [03:26] ubuntu is running === mark_ is now known as __markben__ [03:26] Zyklon ok, so it probably has X installed already ... can you open up a ssh connection to it via putty? [03:27] one more? [03:27] Zyklon nope, as long as you have console access [03:27] when using 2 screens as dual screen (TwinView) to extend your desktop, at the wallpapers settings it adds a setting named "bridge" for example to use a wallpaper big enough to continue in both screens.. BUT is there a posibility that i can stretch that wallpaper while it is bridged? because if i choose stretch it justs stretches the wallpaper but in each screen seperatly :( [03:27] Zyklon run 'ps aux | grep X' [03:27] I have that now [03:27] ps aux | grep X in one cmd? [03:27] Zyklon yep [03:28] done [03:28] Zyklon any output? [03:28] now what? [03:28] yeah [03:28] a lot [03:28] Anyone have any idea why I interact with the youtube HD video player? (e.g., I can't click "play", or "pause", etc) I have Ubuntu 10.04 w/ restricted extras installed. I can interact with low fi youtube video player just fine. Any ideas? [03:28] sec I paste it in a bin [03:28] Zyklon ok, thanks [03:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/492865/ [03:29] there === jason is now known as Guest69452 [03:30] seems nx is setup and running to or am I wrong [03:30] ? === Guest69452 is now known as jadewolf === jadewolf is now known as jfullernz [03:31] !ops NO HOMELAND WITHOUT YOU FUHRER LOREZ!

I have apache running local fine, but accessing from the web is not passing through. I have checked the open ports and the port is open, along with doing some config to allow the port in iptables. [03:32] Zyklon well, it looks good, let's try getting an X11 tunnel up, and trying it out [03:32] yes [03:32] Zyklon open another putty window, but don't log in yet ... [03:32] ok [03:33] done [03:33] Zyklon also going to need Xming on the windows side of things [03:33] so I need to install Xming? [03:33] installed and running [03:33] Zyklon yes please, it's an X server for windows, so you can push the X instructions to windows [03:33] Zyklon ok [03:34] Xming Server 0.0 it states on my status bar [03:34] hey look, I made it into the spammers list, how nice [03:34] what to do now? [03:34] shall I log in? [03:34] Zyklon just a minute, booting up my windows box so i can walk you through the putty setup [03:34] ok [03:35] :) [03:35] Zyklon no, have to enable X11 forwarding first [03:35] !java [03:35] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java.

[03:35] ok [03:35] xiaclo: where do I do that from SSH cmd line? [03:35] Zyklon no, it's in the putty options before you connect [03:35] in other words from where I'm already logged in? [03:35] ok [03:35] understand [03:35] Anyone familiar with bluetooth headsets? It's connected, but I can't get the audio to stream through it. [03:36] Zyklon ok, in putty, under connection > SSH > X11 [03:36] sec [03:36] ok [03:36] done [03:36] shall I type something in the field? [03:36] X display location [03:36] ? [03:37] Zyklon yes, whatever your Xming server is ... i think by default its localhost:10 [03:37] Xming Server 0.0 [03:37] it states here [03:37] Zyklon ok ... localhost:0.0 then [03:37] and hit open in putty? [03:37] Zyklon yep, connect normally [03:38] /usr/bin/X11/xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority [03:38] and now what? [03:38] :) [03:38] http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8LF8WL97 [03:38] ups wrong windows [03:38] Zyklon 'echo $DISPLAY' [03:39] localhost:10.0 [03:39] it states then [03:39] Zyklon ok, that's fine, so it is forwarding ... [03:39] Zyklon try 'xterm' [03:39] Zyklon I'm not sure what is installed by default ... [03:39] so that it has 10.0 instead of 0.0 is correct? [03:39] is there a way to keep users from logging in while doing things as root? [03:39] ok I try [03:39] will* [03:40] root@ks33885:~# xterm [03:40] Warning: Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FontStruct [03:40] Zyklon yes, ssh won't use 0.0 because that is usually reserved for local displays, so it starts at 10 by default [03:40] and I got a graphic terminal window [03:40] I got that warning and a yes as I said [03:40] hehe [03:40] Zyklon well that was easy ... try 'gnome-panel' [03:40] ok [03:41] in which window [03:41] the ssh fucked up after the warning [03:41] Zyklon either will work ... err ... 'gnome-panel &' i guess would work better [03:41] that did not go well [03:41] hehe [03:41] lots of error and once more grapchical [03:42] Zyklon get your gnome bar though? [03:42] my win7 is a bit fucked up [03:42] how can I kill it [03:42] ? [03:42] yeah it showed here [03:42] Zyklon 'pkill gnome-panel' [03:42] and asked if I wanted to reload it [03:42] Zyklon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:43] what happened? [03:43] security checks now... and i haven't even been driving [03:43] iluminator101: what did you remove? [03:43] I have 2x500GB Sata drives, 2x500GB Pata drives, and an 80GB Drive where ubuntu currently lives. I'd like to use raid5 and lvm to turn those 4 disks into a superdisk... can anyone recommend a good starting point? [03:45] thune3, http://pastebin.com/fTYhCtNA [03:46] evening y'all [03:46] i know how you all feel about off topic questions [03:46] but do you know where I can ask about ffmpeg via command line? [03:47] what about it bribroder [03:47] Is there an easy way to install Ubuntu without having to reinstall all of my programs every 6 month? [03:47] transcoding mpeg streams [03:48] iluminator101: that may have been a bit extreme. I'm not sure what those files do to clean up. I was suggesting *modifying* those files to get uninstall to work. It is probably OK, but you need to make sure all the files in cupswrappermfc7420.list are gone. [03:48] Eclectic: you don't have to reinstall ubuntu every 6 months :S [03:48] streams or changing formats to mpeg? [03:49] has anyone had experience with apache/iptables setup that could assist me? I have apache running local fine, but accessing from the web is not working. I have checked the open ports and the port is open according to web port checker. [03:50] can anyone suggest a faxing app ? Efax is pushing errors [03:50] xangua: but if i want the latest release is there a way to partition so the install will auto restore my settings [03:50] thune3 erase all the files in cupswrappermfc7420.list why?? [03:51] jfullernz: What do you get when you telnet to port 80? Does it work from another computer on the same network? Do you have port forewarding enabled? [03:51] hi [03:51] Eclectic: you just have to upgrade, if you want to reinstall every 6 months is your decision === kim0 is now known as kim0_3G [03:52] did ya get that bribroder ? [03:53] Jordan_U, havent tried telnetting. will try that now. The web server works from any computers on the lan, but trying to access from the wan is where its failing [03:53] no matter how many time I completely redo my computer putting ubuntu and ubuntu studio in. on both of them keeps hswoing the same items in the trash every time and I can't empty the trash with them. I need help to get these items out of the trash [03:53] iluminator101: because since you removed the uninstall scripts, they may not have been removed. [03:53] anyone have a vaio vpccw21fx??? [03:53] hello [03:54] when i try to install modem driver it asked me to move the folder to another location. this is error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/492875/ where to move it? [03:54] help????

[03:55] when ubuntu 10.10 is out, do i have to upgrade the kernel? [03:56] i cant change my video brigthness, help me! [03:56] jfullernz: Since that's a private ip you must be using NAT. Do you have port forewarding setup? [03:57] My ubuntu install is currently tanked, anyone help? === heather is now known as Guest54953 [03:57] Jordan_U, I have port setups in iptables, as far as I can tell I've opened port 80. its a complex iptables though doing a captive portal as well as traffic accounting [03:58] Jordan_U, would you like me to paste to pastebin for you? [03:58] thune3, anyways i gotta go thanks again i appreciate it [03:58] I installed a theme pack called "Elegant Gnome" that worked fine for a while, then it updated and i attempted to change the color of the window backgrounds. The display froze (mouse didn't) and now it's not booting, even inf failsafe graphics mode. The wallpaper comes up but nothing else. [03:58] can anyone suggest a faxing app ? Efax is pushing errors [03:58] I saved a log somewhere along the line, but I'm not sure how get at it from my windows install [03:59] jfullernz: Does the machine running apache have an external ip address (i.e., not 192.168.1.1) on one of its interfaces or is it connected to a router? [04:00] anyone? [04:01] Jordan_U, yes. the apache server is running on the firewall, which has 2 NIC's, 1) 192.168.1.1 -> Lan 2) 192.168.2.2 -> DSL Modem (192.168.2.1) === Guest2054 is now known as AlbertoP [04:02] does all linuxant modem driver require licenses? [04:02] jfullernz: None of those are external ip addresses, which means that something (presumably the DSL modem) is acting as a router. You need to setup port forewarding there. [04:02] * Condorito greets you [04:03] do you know the qq [04:03] someone? im googling for efax--- [04:04] ? simple one, plz. how do I check a version of a program from terminal in ubuntu? for example, which version of g++ do I have? [04:04] Jordan_U, I have set the 192.168.2.2 (firewall) to being a DMZ host, allowing all packets as a passthrough. [04:05] ubotto fax [04:05] Jordan_U, the router external IP is 203.211.125.109 [04:06] im getting an error when loading X, apparently, it cant compile my keymaps? [04:06] Condorito, you should be able to just use -version [04:06] jfullernz: I'm going to try to connect to it myself if you don't mind. [04:06] any ideas? [04:06] ubottu fax [04:07] Condorito, or --version rather [04:07] Jordan_U, np. I have the port set for port 81 listening [04:07] Condorito, try g++ --versil [04:07] --version [04:07] Anyone- A faxing Solution!? [04:07] im am googling 10 years of people having it really not work well. [04:07] jfullernz: I'm connecting fine. [04:08] Jordan_U, it is? is that on 80 or 81? [04:08] jfullernz: 81 [04:08] when i try to install modem driver it asked me to move the folder to another location. this is error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/492875/ where to move it? [04:08] anyone? [04:08] why would I be unable to connect to it from here then using the wan ip? [04:09] Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 203.211.125.109:81 [04:09] http://? [04:09] or whatever the protocol is. [04:09] hmm, yeah. I get command not found (for --version) & "g++: no input files" (for versil). I had already tried -version. wierd. [04:09] I am looking for a way to make my system play a "click" sound every keystroke. Is that possible? [04:10] May I ask why you would want to? :P === Dakusonikku is now known as DakuJuju [04:10] jfullernz: It's common for routers to get confused, or for forewarding rules to not apply the same way, with packets that get routed back that way. Try connecting through a proxy. [04:10] Condorito, try --v then [04:10] Ah! solved. Thanks a lot! [04:10] Yes, you may. I want to because sometimes I am trying to type fast, and I have to look to see if I typed the character or just tapped the key too lightly. [04:11] Condorito, np [04:11] Jordan_U, thanks for that. its been stressing me out thinking its not because of that. I'll try setting a proxy server in now. do you know of any you could suggest?

[04:12] Jordan_U: did you try to connect to that ip address.. it's almost .. and most probably an !ops item.. I connect from here fine [04:12] So uh, I guess it's not going to happen then. [04:12] an !ops item? [04:12] jfullernz: Outbound, though it's a bit of an odd distinction in this case. [04:12] ...

A) you should run make as your user B) you should install using checkinstall instead of 'make install' [04:14] hy jg [04:15] Jordan_U, that one isnt one staying up. it was a test one to try and get it working from the start :)\ [04:15] thune3: what is checkinstall? never heard about it. do i need to install a pacakge to use it?

[04:17] thune3: ok. going to try it. bye [04:18] abhijit: instead of installing file directly using 'make install' check install creates a .deb package and installs that.

[04:23] Izinucs yes but there is no live version of server [04:24] goddard: ah.. does the thin client have a cdrom or is it "really" bear [04:24] *bare [04:25] Izinucs it doesn't have a cd rom [04:25] hello all, i am trying to install eclipse and i can't get the executable to work.. the first time i tried to run the file it said i needed java runtime. now that i have it installs it will not do anything when i double click the file [04:26] Izinucs I have tried tons of things I really need some help [04:26] bubbles: eclipse is in the repos [04:26] !info eclipse [04:26] eclipse (source: eclipse): Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.5.2-2ubuntu4.2 (lucid), package size 45 kB, installed size 124 kB [04:26] goddard: then perhaps you might be able to netboot/install the server image on the cf card from another machine on the network.. I can have ubottu send a link on different install methods that also covers net installs.. an interesting project.. [04:26] !install | goddard [04:26] goddard: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

I am using desktop wall and under General Compiz Options have configured the desktop size to 5 virtual horizontal 2 virtual vertical and number of desktops to 1. I typically have a number of different applications open on different desktops. How do I configure Ubuntu to open up all the applications and put them on the different desktops? [04:27] ActionParsnip: i am kinda new.. what does repos mean? [04:27] bubbles: you can install eclipse using software centre [04:28] bubbles: a repo is a server you can install apps from [04:28] hi guys [04:28] bubbles: repos is short for repository [04:28] NOMADICUS: look into devilspie [04:28] ActionParsnip: oh ok gotcha.. thanks [04:28] So... I might need to know the proper place to go. I have a fakeraid raid 5. one of my disk got kicked out right as another erred out. I can use professional recovery software to see all my data in that raid. No for where it gets crazy. all the data is on the dropped drive.. all thats missing is the raid offset info.. I am trying to replace that info so it gets seen as the third disc again [04:28] I have a pendrive with ubuntu that I use at any machine, it ran out of space, but the pendrive has over 1.5 gb free... what can I do to increase the ubuntu space? [04:29] NOMADICUS: there is gdevilspie you can use (its a cheap python script) and will help you configure it as devilspie is CLI only [04:29] Foxe: why not just restore from backup? [04:29] afeijo: Why not get a larger or second drive? [04:29] ActionParsnip, raid 5 that believes 2 disk have failed out of three [04:30] ActionParsnip; what is CLI ? [04:30] lulu7, that is not the point, I hav 1.5 gb free, but ubuntu say that I have 0 byte free and stall ! [04:30] ActionParsnip, its really the fact that fakeraid sucks and all thats missing is the offset info [04:30] afeijo: i suggest you remove old unused kernels, ubuntu-docs package and run: sudo apt-get clean I'd also fsck the partitions in another system [04:30] !cli | NOMADICUS [04:30] NOMADICUS: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [04:30] devilspie; looks cool. [04:30] Foxe: fakeraid does suck, its cheap but you get what you pay for [04:30] ActionParsnip, no partitions in the pendrive [04:30] afeijo: there must be [04:30] afeijo: you are using a persistent install? that has a 4GB limit for persistence file as i understand it. You can move files to the underlying filesystem (might require sudo) through /cdrom or /isodevice [04:31] afeijo: there will be at least one, usually covering 100% of the space [04:31] ActionParsnip, like I said though. I can use software to see all my data its all still there. I jsut dont want to pay $794 for the software to do it haha [04:31] devilspie; I feel silly for not know the accronym CLI. [04:31] hi [04:31] thune3, its the livecd option in a usb device [04:31] afeijo: This was sudden without installing/saving anything extra on it? [04:31] i just installed ubuntu and no sound [04:31] ok- somone.. Fax.. ANYONE please give a good answer. I NEED A FAX. Efax doesnt work, im trying to setup hylafax - eh, now im having issues with my modem i think. IDk- This is rediculous. [04:31] NOMADICUS: you can't know everything, every day is a school day :) [04:31] afeijo, if you installed it with persistance it'll have a casper file.. that's taking the rest of the space. [04:31] thune3, I used a livecd to generate a usb device [04:31] How do you run netflix movies in Ubuntu? [04:31] Fax, Fax over SIP... I need a FAX [04:31] lulu7, I installed a few thing [04:31] things [04:32] my casper-rw file has 131mb [04:32] So I know I am in uncharted territory, but I did a hex dump of all the the offsets of the drives in the raid [04:32] goddard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuyPJFhVTxQ [04:32] Afeijo: try your tmp dir.

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [04:33] How do you run netflix movies in Ubuntu? without a virtual machine [04:33] goddard: I read that it is not possible right now. Something on Netflix's end. [04:33] goddard: you don't.. they haven't made a client for linux [04:33] goddard: I believe if you call and ask about it, they add you to the petition list to support linux [04:33] goddard, netflix uses silverlight so it'll be win only for now. [04:33] I'm not running the pendrive ubuntu right now, I had to open the machine winxp, as the ubuntu stopped working, not even console was responding, lol [04:34] I see only two spots out about 4 bytes each, that seem to me like the raid assignment (Ie.. it looks like raid disk 1, raid disk 2, and maybe some other assignment...) [04:34] goddard: http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS8284021470.html [04:34] ActionParsnip, yea, been there a few times. Gridborg costs i think? its not synaptic i think [04:34] afiejo: use the liveCD to access the pen drive? [04:34] i tried lspci -v | less but didnt see mention of audio as talked in the troubleshooting [04:34] afeijo: so you have a tiny casper-rw file. i'm not sure how to make that bigger, though i'm sure it's possible. as i said, you can also put files in /cdrom (which is the underlying filesystem, not the casper-rw space) [04:34] SubCool: if you need it and its not available, you may have to shell out [04:35] actionparsnip: I tried lspci -v | less but couldnt see no audio option [04:35] Iol, so yeah... I guess I need a computer engineer to assist me. [04:35] thune3, I also have a casper folder with over 600mb in files [04:35] wasnik: make sure levels are high and unmuted in gnomes volume app as well as run alsamixer in terminal and do the same [04:36] ActionParsnip; this looks awesome but it's going to take me some time to figure out. [04:36] anyone have any ideas at all where I need to go or anyone I could talk to [04:36] NOMADICUS: the gui is on googlecode and just needs launching after you extract the archive [04:36] Foxe: you might try ##linux [04:37] whats the difference between silverlight and flash? [04:37] IdleOne, I'll check there next. ty [04:37] can i have some help [04:37] ActionParsnip, Ubuntu and linux have been around for how long? and there is No reasonable working normal fax client? [04:37] goddard: not sure but linux's version of silverlight is moonlight.. [04:37] i want to install ubuntu in my n800 [04:37] i try to use efax-gtk and it comes STOCk with a post script error???? [04:37] afeijo: casper folder, i didn't know ubuntu allowed that option. sounds like maybe your filesystem has errors and needs to be fsck'ed? [04:38] SubCool: no idea, afaics fax died out as soon as email became mainstream [04:38] SubCool: there is a bug about that and a fix.. however you'll have to google for the answer.. I think it's a bug report on launchpad.net that has the answer.. can't remember how I did it several months ago. [04:38] thune3, yeah I will use a livecd to check the usb :) [04:38] Actionparsnip: my gnome-alsamixer panel appears blank [04:39] thanks guys!!

If I remember the tutorial page I will link it... but I havent tried it myself [04:40] DeeGeneRaL: don't think so, better buy a phone with android or meego if there is already one [04:40] wasnik: it varys wildly from bios to bios. i'd imagine you havent tweaked your bios so its safe to assume its enabled [04:40] any help at all??? [04:41] ActionParsnip, found that one too- thanks. [04:41] guys I'm experiencing some issues with mounting my digital camera. Whereas before it used to mount fine now all of a sudden it doesn't.

[04:43] SubCool: DOH!.. thus efax right :/ [04:44] Izinucs, ya, [04:44] SubCool: yea.. caught myself after that question.. [04:45] Im just fixing a stupid Mess aruond. good ole easy ubuntu. faxing is a nightmare. i have a MagicJack, which i finally got the SIP info for- but i NEED To fax tings tomorrow, and i have no fax. [04:45] * Condorito greets you all again :) [04:45] SubCool: some stationers provide fax facility which will get you past the day, then you can setup a fax without the deadline [04:46] could a external hd stop wifi from working on a laptop ? [04:46] SubCool: in a pinch you could create a j2.com free fax account and use that for fax out via email.. inbound is free outbound will cost a little. [04:46] ? with another one, plz. where are the man pages stored in ubuntu? [04:46] chibihogoshino: if its usb powered and the wireless is attatched to the same usb bus, possibly [04:46] hmm [04:46] ActionParsnip, nah- i have a bunch of faxing to do. Izinucs ya, i have to do a lot of out bound [04:46] jubei: maybe look at "dmesg | tail -n 100" and see what detection is happening [04:47] I wnt to install these for SDL (the unix "man" pages) so that I have them as reference http://www.libsdl.org/docs.php [04:47] ActionParsnip: it has a power source other than the usb [04:47] SubCool: and obviously they won't take it via email.. right? [04:47] Izinucs, i will probably recieve a couple inbound, but mostly outbound. I am pissed it is acutaly easier to go out and buy one. this is rediculous. This was a nightmare when i first start linux 10 years ago, and still is now. [04:47] SubCool: well if you *need* to do it then you may have to or you will miss your deadline [04:47] Izinucs, ofcourse not. [04:47] where do they go? :/ [04:48] chibihogoshino: thats all I can think of then, read through: dmesg | less to see whats shakin [04:48] I just find it rediculous there is no simple working fax program [04:48] even windows is annoying about it- but im sure if i spent half the time there, i'd have it working now. [04:48] SubCool: (sp) ridiculous [04:48] SubCool: efax worked fine on 8.04.. when I upgraded it borked.. I use efax all the time now for real estate ppw [04:48] SubCool: it's derived from ridicule [04:48] ActionParsnip: thank.. i dont even know why i didnt think about that.. lol [04:48] ActionParsnip, lol- oh i gave up, i try so often to spell it right. never will. [04:49] Izinucs, i saw in the bug report after hardy it went down. [04:49] SubCool: did you find the fix? if not give me the link and I'll look too. [04:49] nah, no fix yet- ... [04:50] thune3, http://codepad.org/gOPq51m8 [04:50] https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=efax+postscript&field.actions.search=Search all i am seaching for.. [04:50] i tihnk it is limited to Tiff files..

[04:52] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/efax-gtk/+bug/536639 according to this, it was fixed. [04:53] Izinucs, i just did a search, im getting both. [04:53] under bugs it should been fixed last may [04:54] jubei: you didn't changes settings on camera related to exposing filesystem, or maybe camera is not powered up? [04:54] thune3, neither of those no. [04:54] thune3, it's... weird. Anyway thanks for trying to help ;) [04:54] SubCool: I think this is the link.. there is a new version of efax out there.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/efax-gtk/+bug/536639 [04:55] jubei: have you tried logging in with the camera already on? [04:55] hahah i just send that to u.. [04:55] lulu7, no haven't tried that. But the camera was working fine a few days back. [04:55] lulu7, soo... must be something else [04:55] Izinucs, i just sent that to u. [04:55] Oh, never mind my "?". I believe I have just figured it out myself. Ta' ta! [04:55] SubCool: I missed that post.. but see it now. [04:56] :-) [04:56] SubCool: there may also be a ppa for it. [04:56] jubei: atleast it recognizes it. No recent updates? [04:56] lulu7, updates? of what? ubuntu or the camera software? [04:56] SubCool: or look in backports first [04:56] jubei: ubuntu [04:57] lulu7, oh yeah... i uhm.. I did updates [04:57] lulu7, possibly a new kernel too [04:57] jubei: at times they will throw things off especially erase settings [04:58] lulu7, i hadn't done any settings to begin with though. Ubuntu would find the camera and mount it without me explicitly doing anything [04:58] ppa ? backports? you think the fix isnt releaased? [04:59] If I don't like the netbook edtion look, is there any driver optimization disadvantages of installing the full deskop ISO ? [04:59] or any thing else [04:59] sabgenton: the netbook edition is just geared towards those platforms/hardwares [04:59] thune3, lulu7 I think I know what it is :/ I recently installed picasa 3 beta and at the end of the installation picasa asked me whether or not I want it to be launched whenever a digital camera is connected [05:00] SubCool: typically the "fix" would be available with a apt-get dist-upgrade to new packages (not release upgrade).. however sometimes not.. backports is a place to get new un supported upgrades for specific situations.. the PPA is source compiled packages for specific releases done by individuals.. caviat emptor (spelling?) [05:00] Izinucs, the worst part about this is, until i get the SIP aspect working nicely, Faxing over this is hard as hell anyways [05:00] jubei: can you access the camera through picasa? [05:00] lulu7, just did, yes [05:00] Izinucs, oh ok- [05:00] thune3, lulu7, that was it. Sorry for wasting your time :) And thanks for helping [05:00] SubCool: yes.. faxing over voip connections is problemmatic no matter how you look at it.. [05:01] lulu7: yes that's what everybody says but I see no definitive package list comparason between the two [05:01] jubei: no waste, good to have it working [05:01] hi [05:02] sabgenton: I have had no issues from installs. [05:03] lulu7: does desktop just have more packages with out the netbook type desktop and mable less small screen optimizations? [05:03] for example [05:03] If thats so I will happly take my chances with the desktop ISO [05:03] ok [05:03] sabgenton: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:04] how can squid3 be told to allow http for IRC to the ubuntu sever? I set sefe_ports but it says proxy taversal failed [05:04] sabgenton: I think the netbook is just a lighter package. Personally if you have the resources I would go desktop. [05:05] SubCool: yea.. inbound. never saw an outbound free one.

[05:06] imma go cool down, thanks a lot for the help! [05:06] SubCool: things are better.. in most cases.. but like windows some things are easier in one os over the other.. it's just a matter of what you're doing that makes a difference.. [05:06] do i need to run the amd64 build to use 4GB of ram? [05:06] ipv5: yep [05:06] sabgenton: as far as screen features, I have heard nothing either way.

[05:10] what of these 4 would be the least cpu usage? tar bz2 7z zip [05:10] ipv5: Yes. The main issue is that flash is less stable on 64 bit. [05:10] ipv5: it works very well.. unless you have work requirements that need citrix or flash based access.. then you'll have issues.. [05:11] (i've always had ancient hardware too...finally building a nice machine and now i'm kinda lost ;-) [05:11] flash is a problem? [05:12] ipv5: can be at times..

The wireless router itself, yes, but the setting in Ubuntu, I don´t think so. === cdodt is now known as MFen [05:29] anybody home? [05:29] Tempus: I would think this would be a fairly easy fix. I´m using common hardware. [05:29] always [05:29] :) [05:29] mind if I ask a few questions in here? [05:29] feel free [05:29] I asked in #deb but I think most people are asleep [05:29] OR, does anyone know a lot about the apt database format, or where i can find out about it? [05:29] My net icon is locked to the right on the panel...any ideas on moving it...right click doesn't work [05:29] I've got a sick server [05:30] Tempus: I think that the wireless card setting may be turned off. [05:30] i'm trying to figure out how i can identify all packages which i deliberately installed from the command line or applications [05:30] on boot up because mdadm can't start the raid6 I get an error and it drops into a ramdisk [05:30] how do I mount the OS disk and boot the kernel so I bring the raid up? [05:30] Arg! Can anybody tell me how to turn the wireless card setting on in Ubuntu? My Ubuntu installation can see my router, which is working for all other computers. [05:30] i.e. a list of any package which is 1) installed 2) but not implicitly as a dependency of something else and 3) not as part of the default ubuntu install [05:31] Pretty please. [05:31] pyro >> best way to just run from a stick [05:31] pardon? [05:31] oh [05:31] well it's a bit more compliacted than that [05:32] also consider asking the question in #ubuntu-server [05:32] I made a mistake when I was assembling one of the raid6s so when the system boots up it always looks for /dev/sdk instead of /dev/sdk1 [05:32] had no idea you guys had that channel [05:32] ok [05:32] * dzere is confused. My Ubuntu installation seems to be lacking in software (ievongih, wireless-tools) for a wireless connection. How do I fix this? [05:32] ye run from a stick and use expert and go to bush mode [05:32] I installed the Ubuntu installation off a fresh ISO image just tonight. [05:32] i've been struggling to make this winmodem work with my ubuntu [05:33] Help! [05:33] I've got a blank HD and I'm looking at a mirror with 10.04 and 10.04.1 [05:33] download 10.04.1 ? [05:33] or simply install new conf and work from there [05:33] blackmatter where do I find the conf? [05:33] sab >> 10.04 is the stable [05:34] 10.04.1 [05:34] why doesn't someone make a windows driver emulation software for linux? [05:35] blah, here's an easier one. where can i find the package sun-java6-jre? [05:35] !flash | MFen [05:35] MFen: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [05:35] err [05:35] i'm running lucid and already have universe/multiverse enabled. i thought it was in those places, but it's not [05:35] !? [05:35] !java > MFen [05:35] MFen, please see my private message [05:36] ah, "partner" now [05:36] MFen: its in the partner repo now. [05:36] just to be annoying to me [05:37] sabgenton: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ [05:38] /sbin/consoletype is not showing as a directory .....any help? [05:38] * dzere is completely new to Ubuntu and still having problems. My Ubuntu terminal doesn recognize any of the commands I've tried. I´m confused. Can somebody take ten minutes to chat with me outside the main group OR can somebody please direct me to how to upgrade my Ubuntu with a wired connection. (I just installed this. I assumed it was fresh.) [05:39] So horribly lost... [05:40] in any way hdm here? [05:40] thanks bastidrazor works now [05:40] Nothing I´ve tried (and I have been looking it up on my own for forty-five minutes or more) is not working. [05:40] MFen: you're welcome. [05:40] Gotta have assistance if I going to figure this out tonight. [05:41] dzere: What are you trying to do? Upgrade from one version (like 9.10 to 10.04?) or just get up-to-date packages with whatever version you've got? [05:42] Flannel, I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I downloaded the ISO just tonight and installed it. I´m trying to get my wireless capabilities on. It doesn't seem to recognize anything (the internal wireless card, the wireless network--which I have checked for errors). What do I do to get this thing turned on? I think it is disabled. [05:43] dzere: What sort of wireless card do you have? [05:44] Flannel: I'm sorry, but I´m not sure offhand. I have a Gateway laptop whose wifi has always worked fine since I bought it in 2007 but I´m not sure how to find out under Linux. I don't have Windows installed on this machine. [05:44] Thanks for helping, Flannel. I hope you'll keep asking questions and making suggestions. [05:44] I tried going to Hardware Drivers but found no information. [05:45] dzere did you try what I said at plugging your laptop str8 to the ethernet performing an update then trying your wireless [05:45] dzere: alright. It's internal, so it could either be PCI or USB. Let's try PCI first. 'lspci -v' will get us a first-cut at that sort of info === nikyr0x is now known as Guest88347 [05:46] Tempus: if I do this, I may lose connection to the chat and that would be bad. [05:47] hoi [05:47] ahoy [05:47] dzere: You can copy/paste the output at paste.ubuntu.com, and then provide the URL after hitting submit. That's the best way to get that info into here. [05:47] lspci -v brought me lots of information. Which header should I tell you? [05:47] Flannel, thank you. That's very helpful [05:48] sorry to bother, but i'm having some problems here and i'm too much of a noob to work them out... wonder if somebody could help me out. It should be simple enough, i believe. [05:48] Flannel, before I type all of this up, are we looking for something in particular (i.e., PCI bridge, USB controller?) [05:48] dzere: oh, you're typing this? ok, lets not do that then. [05:48] dzere: We're looking for some sort of wireless card looking thing. [05:49] Yes, I'm typing this. I did not know there was another way. I'm working with a wire-connected Windows Vista PC and a Gateway Ubuntu computer whose wireless is not working. [05:49] Maybe lspci -v|grep Network [05:49] gabriel, Shoot [05:49] My best bet is Ethernet Controller or Network Controller. Do these sound right? [05:50] dzere: Gotcha. And have you tried pluggin the Ubuntu computer into an ethernet jack to see if that works yet? (I know you can't try it currently without going offline) [05:50] T-Co, i installed Amarok and ALSA, and since then, my computer's sound is kind of unstable. Sometimes, i boot it and it works fine, sometimes it doesn't. [05:50] No, I haven't. Would you like me to do this and reconnect? I´m just trying to avoid losing my help team here in the chat. [05:50] I ran bash alsa-info.sh --stdout... [05:50] hmpf [05:51] gabriel, Ok, not my area, I just use pulseaudio and it works (most of the time at least) [05:51] T-Co and found out my ALSA Driver version is 1.0.21, while the library and utilities are 1.0.23. [05:51] Whatcha think, Flannel? [05:52] T-Co, ok, i see... [05:52] dzere: Ethernet controller is ethernet, network controller might be the wifi. But before we go down that route, lets see if it's a USB wifi card. We can get something similar on the USB stuff by doing `sudo lsusb -v` (and type your password--it won't echo as you type). You're looking there under deviceclass or product (they'll be some of the few things with actual text as properties) [05:52] dzere: See if you see any wireless-looking devices there [05:52] I think I could plug it into my Ubuntu modem, see if the Internet works, and continue the chat from there. [05:52] Okay, let me look. [05:52] dzere: yeah, ethernet should work just fine. So you could do that, but lets check USB stuff first. [05:53] Thanks again, Flannel. Okay, lots of information here to sort through... [05:54] Flannel: I don't see anything that rings of wifi, as far as I can tell [05:54] I see things that say Host Controllor or Hub but nothing that specifically rings a bell, "Wifi" in my head. [05:55] I'm trying. [05:55] dzere: Alright. It was likely that Network controller on the PCI bus then. Unfortunately, I'm not a wifi guy, so I'm not really sure what I'm looking for (without seeing it). run that command again, and we're looking for that first line after Network controller (likely will be chipset/model/manufacturer sort of information) [05:56] Okay, let me see what I can find. [05:56] !beta [05:56] If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Maverick Meerkat and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Maverick. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [05:57] dzere: use pastebin to paste the output so we can have a look [05:57] what beta room? [05:57] raymondjtoth: #ubuntu+1 [05:57] ty [05:57] hello, this is the ubuntu help room, right? anyone here good at reading tcpdumps? http://sprunge.us/MjUR is mine - I was DoSed when making it (command I ran was tcpdump>dos.log). Ports 9001,6881 can be ignored (had rtorrent running, but it was limited at a low speed, so I am sure the DoS wasn't caused by it). Port 80 from iad04s01-in-f104.1e100.net can also be ignored. Anything else please look at. vnstat -l showed 1 MB/s being ... [05:57] ... pushed in rx, which is the max my connection is. It happened right after I pissed someone off on some other network. So if anyone could help me get the IP of the person who DoSed me via this tcpdump, id be mighty happy. thanks. please message me :) [05:58] can we get the first verson of ubuntu with gui in it still to downlaod [05:58] ? [05:58] raymondjtoth: You mean Ubuntu 4.10? [05:58] Flannel: OK, Network controllor: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01); Subsystem: Broadbom Corporation Device 0456; Flags: fast devel, IRQ 17; Memory at...; Capabilities: ; Kernel modules: ssb [05:58] not sure Flannel what build i only came in with 9.10 [05:59] raymondjtoth: I'm not sure I understand what you're asking for. What are you looking to download? [05:59] is there any free text to speech software for ubuntu ? [05:59] that has a recording feature ? [05:59] glebihan - I'm typing on a Windows PC. I will have to lose this connection to connect it to my Ubuntu laptop, but I am willing to do it if you both approve. It may just take a minute for me to get back, and I'm afraid I'll lose you guys in the process. (And have to start all over.) Should I disconnect and then paste? [05:59] dzere: Aye, that's the one. So it's a broadcom BCM4311 [05:59] Flannel: i mean can we get the first build of ibunru with a gui and easy installer [05:59] dose that help [05:59] Can anyone help me with a Wine issue? I'm trying to run amazon's kindle app through it, but when I select the program from the wine menu, I get the icon animation and then nothing happens [05:59] Flannel: making a note of that. [06:00] dzere: no it's ok you found you wifi card [06:00] Do I need to move the kindle program files into a wine folder? [06:00] Okay, this is good. What next? [06:00] (Thanks for your help too glebihan) [06:00] raymondjtoth: the oldest version available is dapper drake (6.06) : http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/dapper/release.1/ [06:01] glebihan: was that the first build to have a gui or aask called gui [06:01] raymondjtoth: no it wasn't the first [06:01] raymondjtoth: You can get all the way back to 4.10, but you wouldn't want to use that today. For an installed system, 8.04 is a likely candidate, and that'll be supported until April of next year on the desktop. [06:01] * dzere hopes there's a way [06:01] glebihan: what was ffirst one to have gui on ubuntu [06:01] ? [06:02] dzere: Yeah, there's a way. But I think that way has changed in the past couple of releases. [06:02] anyone know how to get the rtl8187se working with lucid? [06:03] raymondjtoth: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/warty/ [06:03] Flannel: Hm... I'm not sure if this is a promising development or not. From what I understand from you, the Broadcom BCM4311 is off. Maybe there's a simple command? (I'm pulling out of thin air here trying to help come up with a solution.) [06:03] raymondjtoth: ubuntu always had a hui, afaik [06:03] glebihan: whats that [06:04] Perhaps I'm missing some software I need to make it work? I noticed when I was trying help pages out there online that a lot of the commands I tried didn't work. (No example: I would have to see if I could find one) [06:04] dzere: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [06:04] dzere: It seems to be that the new way of doing it is to install the bcmwl-kernel-source [06:04] dzere: package [06:05] dzere: the easiest way to do that is to connect to the internet with that machine [06:05] raymondjtoth: I think that the first release was warty warthog and it already had a gui [06:06] Flannel: I'm going to need brief instructions how-to. I have no Linux experience before this, but I'm working to learn. [06:06] glebihan: interesting! "No such device."! [06:06] dzere: what output do you get with "sudo ifconfig" ? [06:06] How do you guys do that cool thing where your text shows up red? (Or is that automatic.) [06:06] Lemme try. [06:06] dzere: its automatic. [06:07] dzere: it's automatic because we put your nick in it [06:07] glebihan: what other are built off ubuntu like stedio ubuntu is [06:07] or christan ubuntu [06:07] dzere: Alright. What you're going to do is plug it in to ethernet, then go to a terminal. At the terminal, `sudo apt-get update` then `sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source`, after that a reboot and then wireless should work (or so I've been told) [06:07] Oh, thanks for answering that, guys and/or gals. [06:07] Glebihan: I think I really need to ccp this to you. [06:07] !derivatives | raymondjtoth [06:07] raymondjtoth: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [06:08] All right, well, why don't I get IRC set up on the laptop, try to install that, and then reboot. Assuming you guys are still here, I know where to find you. [06:08] ohh :( [06:08] dzere: we'll be here. [06:08] Shall I disconnect from the PC and plug into the laptop? I'll follow your commands from there. [06:08] dzere: I'm not moving [06:08] what packages do i need to have rhythmbox able to talk to my iphone? [06:08] Flannel/glebihan: mucho thanks. === administrator is now known as Guest28036 [06:08] You guys are up late. What time zone, out of curiousity. (EST: I'm boring) [06:09] how do i scan multiple pages into one PDF? [06:09] * dzere appreciates you [06:09] dzere: you could /CTCP #ubuntu TIME [06:09] dzere: I'm in France so here it's early (7 AM) [06:09] dzere: here, it's 17:09 on Monday. So where does that place me? [06:10] It is 0008 here. :o [06:10] glebihan: I suspected you might be European. I miss Europe so badly. (I want to move back ASAP.) I lived in Germany for a year; can understand French. I'm also Lithuanian-American but in terms of paperwork, that's a nightmare. === lourense_ is now known as lourense [06:11] Viking667: don't make me use my head! :-/ I´ll have to really think for that one. East Asia? [06:12] what was the question?\ [06:12] raymond... Hi! (Can't get the thing to message you) [06:13] All right, glebihan and Flannel, I will be right back. To those of you in Europe, good morning. I'm running late here in the U.S. [06:13] BTW (and this is a joke): if anybody is an expert on turn-of-the-century possibly-ethnic-minorities in Vilnius from the 1830s onwards and associated identity documents, do let me know. [06:13] Its 6 am in London, 1 am in florida and 10 pm in LA [06:13] anyone use VirtualBox [06:14] ? [06:14] j3rg: yep [06:14] glebihan: Merci beaucoup. Je reviens. [06:14] All right, disconnecting temporarily. Thanks muchly, guys. [06:14] dzere: de rien :) [06:15] :-) [06:15] glebihan: ever created a shared folder with a Ubuntu host and XP guest? [06:15] j3rg: yes [06:15] j3rg: what trouble are you having ? [06:15] hey peeps [06:16] glebihan: Add the shared folder from the host but can't seem to find it on the guest [06:16] er [06:16] j3rg: did you install virtualbox guest additions on the guest ? [06:17] glebihan: nope don't think I have [06:17] u must mount it first j3rg [06:17] lol Chinese is not permited [06:17] j3rg: you have to in order to make it work, you can find this in the menus of the virtual machine === akilan27 is now known as CodAvi [06:18] glebihan: thanks I'll give it a try [06:18] j3rg: you're welcome, ask me again if you have any more troubles [06:21] A perhaps simple question: Can one take the public and private rsa key for ssh, and copy it to another box? (So that it will work)? [06:22] cpf_: yes [06:23] tensorpudding, That's bad news, but good to know... [06:23] I have borked my system because of a crash mid-install with ubuntu [06:23] cpf_: how is that bad news ? [06:23] cpf_: why bad? [06:24] I get that crash with livedisks too, but I didn't with the installed ubuntu version [06:24] old livedisk (9.04) also crashes after 3-5 minutes of working [06:24] glebihan, tensorpudding, How can one trust a ssh rsa key, if it is freely copyable and still works? :P [06:24] cpf_: it's not that freely copyable, you must have access to the computer where they are stored in order to export them [06:25] how could I diagnose it and fix it? As I say, both ubuntu and windows on the hard disk worked without crashing (now they won't boot because of the crash mid-reinstall) [06:25] thanks [06:25] the only way to copy the key is to either be root on the machine or the owner of the key [06:25] cpf_: plus, in order to sign anything with a ssh key, you need the passphrase [06:25] glebihan, Yes, so someone with access can do that, persumably anybody with access to ~/.ssh, so it is not to be trusted as an identification of a pc... [06:26] cpf_: just getting the key will only allow to check signed data [06:26] how do i install apache ab benchmarking tool on hardy [googling didn't help :( ] [06:26] can ubuntu run on 613mb of ram and 1 amazon cpu compute ? [06:26] in other words, the new micro [06:27] the only users with read access to .ssh are going to be the owner of the key and the system administrator. [06:27] cpf_: well, you can protect your ~/.ssh folder [06:27] if you don't trust the sysadmin, then you're already screwed [06:27] glebihan, against the user itself? So /home/user can be protected against "user"? [06:28] why would you need that level of protection? [06:28] cpf_: why would you protect the key against its owner ? [06:28] glebihan, Because I want the key to be unique to a pc, if someone can just get the key to another pc, it isn't to be trusted imho. [06:29] then don't copy it [06:29] you can generate a unique key for each login you use [06:29] tensorpudding, Yeah, I'll figure something out. [06:29] But I needed to check this. [06:29] you're talking about "someone" as if there were someone else using your account [06:29] cpf_: you can also create keys as root [06:30] glebihan, Or just get my program to use another user and get that key to work. [06:30] However, protection is not perfect, it's significantly harder to get the key "forged". [06:30] most people back up their GPG private keys [06:31] or print out the key on a sheet of paper [06:31] anyone knows if it's possible to launch the gnome main menu applet (from gnome panel) from the terminal? [06:32] mast`: what do you need that for ? [06:32] glebihan: just wondering if it was possible [06:32] mast`: well there's no simple way to do it [06:33] mast`: so no not directly from terminal [06:33] but it could be possible some other way? [06:34] mast`: yes, all gnome applets can be embedded as widget in any application [06:34] glebihan: thanks. I'll look into that [06:34] i have modified alsa setting to get my subwoofer working for stereo audio files. the subwoofer works perfectly but i can play only one source at a time [06:35] cpf_: There is a separate host key for identifying the machine. [06:35] mast`: you're welcome, if you want to look into, search for bonobo widgets [06:36] Jordan_U, How does that work exactly? [06:37] a [06:38] how can I force the 10.4 installer to be textmode-only instead of graphics-mode_ [06:38] ? [06:39] kandinski: you'll need the the alternate install cd I think [06:40] cpf_: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key and /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key are used for identifying a machine as a whole. Say you log into host foobar, the fist time you log in from a client machine that ssh client will ask if you want foobar's public key stored in ~/.ssh/known_hosts. [06:40] glebihan: thanks [06:40] kandinski: you're welcome [06:41] Is there any way to encrypt a file on my flash drive then decrypt on a different workstation as a self executable file or do I need to have the application that encrypted it in the first place? [06:42] cpf_: Once an entry is made in ~/.ssh/known_hosts any further attempts to connect to foobar will first check foobar's identity, if foobar's host key does not match (if it can't properly respond to the challenge from the client) then the ssh client will spew a huge all caps warning and refuse to connect. === sandGorgon_ is now known as SandGorgon [06:48] * dcherniv congrats on the first solid release since pretty much ever. 10.04 is shaping up to be real good [06:48] where can i get 64 bit version of hsfmodem-7.80.02.05-DiacoEdition.zip? [06:49] Hi, [06:49] abhijit: you need this specific version ? [06:50] glebihan: yah === dcherniv is now known as usser [06:51] i have problems to see correctly material from cisco courses in firefox [06:52] Hi guys, when booting my system I suddenly get this error about my filesystem: "mountall: Filesystem has errors: /" and I should run fsck manually [06:52] i load index.html page correctly [06:52] im having a problem to install inadyn .. [06:53] biesbjerg: Can you boot a liveCD and run fsck from there? [06:53] Minino71: do you have this installed? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [06:53] biesbjerg, happens, when you're dropped to the shell run fsck -y /dev/sd[whateveryourootis] [06:53] I'm never dropped to the shell, tried booting of a LiveCD though [06:53] just a sec, let me check again what it tells me [06:53] im having a problem to install inadyn .. W:INADYN: Main: Error 'RC_CMD_PARSER_INVALID_OPTION' (0x50). [06:53] but then there is a start course button to charge material course and it does'nt do anything [06:54] no, i have'nt [06:54] I do an sudo fdisk -l to see the partitions, right? And fsck "each partition" [06:54] biesbjerg, no need to fsck each partition just / would do [06:54] abhijit: what's your issue exactly ? [06:55] usser: hmm that'll work when FS is not mounted? [06:55] hold on, booting [06:55] biesbjerg, yea. [06:55] im having a problem to install inadyn .. W:INADYN: Main: Error 'RC_CMD_PARSER_INVALID_OPTION' (0x50).

In windows i resolved the problem actualizing adobe reader and adobe flash player but in ubuntu it's not the solution [06:56] usser: I get "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 and then fsck: fsck.aufs: not found [06:56] glebihan: thanks for talking. imergency. got to go. thanks bye [06:56] and lastly, fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.aufs for aufs [06:57] biesbjerg, hm never heard of aufs [06:57] hmm okay :-/ [06:58] guys do you know how to show skype notifications in the system notifications area? [06:58] biesbjerg: You don't want to fsck "/" from the LiveCD, you want to find what device is your installed system's root partition and fsck that. [06:58] Jordan_U: Okay, fdisk -l tells me sda1 2 and 5 [06:59] Jordan_U: sda1 is clean, sda2 is zero length and sda5 says something about a "superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem" [06:59] ibrahim-kasem: I don't think skype allows to do this, skype has its own notifications system [07:00] biesbjerg: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid" ? [07:00] glebihan, I have seen this before, also you can add commands to skype. [07:01] Jordan_U: Just a sec [07:01] ibrahim-kasem: ok don't know about that, looking if I can find something [07:01] glebihan, thnx dude. [07:01] :) [07:02] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/CKKCQQQm [07:03] biesbjerg: Ahh, I assume that your root fs is on top of LVM? [07:03] Jordan_U: Am not sure what that means? [07:03] It's a virtual machine === 14WAA7KEP is now known as Lucifinil === Lucifinil is now known as 14WAA7KEP [07:03] biesbjerg: Did you install this system yourself? [07:03] yes [07:04] biesbjerg: Did you use the Desktop installer or the alternate installer? [07:04] It's Ubuntu server LTS, so I guess... alternate? [07:04] Am using desktop live-CD now though === Guest54953 is now known as MuRu [07:05] any mdadm masters here? [07:06] biesbjerg: Ok, when you installed you chose to have your root filesystem on LVM (Logical Volume Management). In short it's sort of a way to have more flexable pseudo partititions that you can resize and move around much more easily. === MuRu is now known as MeoRu [07:06] ibrahim-kasem: I think I may have found what you need, but the only page I found it is in Italian : http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/InternetRete/Telefonia/Skype [07:06] hi guys, i wanna statically link libid3 library, and when i link it in gcc using -static option, i get an error saying "undefined reference", however dynamic linking works fine [07:06] sacarlson: i'm in it, sudo aptitude install RestrictedFormats answers that RestrictedFormats it's not found but there are descriptions in ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:06] glebihan, hmm I will try to translate it. :)\ [07:07] i'm trying sudo aptitude ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:07] Okay? Pretty sure I selected "auto partition" or something, but maybe it's the default option in ubuntu, Jordan_U. Is it a problem? [07:07] biesbjerg: But to access the LVM "volume" containing your root filesystem you'll need to install lvm and set a few things up. === Immortal is now known as Guest52689 [07:07] dhbcjhdcbjdhcb [07:07] ibrahim-kasem: just found english instructions, but the link is dead there http://www.detector-pro.com/2009/06/get-fancy-skype-notifications-on-ubuntu.html [07:07] dffcdcdcd [07:07] nout: Please stop. [07:08] Jordan_U: Sounds weird as this happened after the host system crashed (As I mentioned, the ubuntu is running as a virtual machine) [07:08] вот бля куда попал [07:08] glebihan, tank you. [07:08] ibrahim-kasem: you're welcome [07:08] Hooray! Everything is working fine on Ubuntu now. So I can start learning. What you guys suggested worked. Flannel and glebihan, thanks.

Thanks in advance. [07:11] Forgive the C. I'll have to fix that. [07:11] Jordan_U: Is it hard to fix? I have a backup of the VM, but it means I will lose data (Using ubuntu for dev webserver) [07:11] dzeremis: "copain" is "boyfriend" :O [07:11] Okay, I was trying not to sound too formal.

Having trouble installing ubuntu-server on a RAID1 volume. First question: Is this advisable?

I was hoping to leave it up to remind me. [07:16] dzeremis: my client is connected 24/7. not a problem.

[07:46] Richie086, it says I need Packet socket when I look at the help on setting up a capture and even with setting my device to wlan0 I get an error saying: "Socket: Operation not permitted." [07:46] whats it mean if I can go into my router on my labtop but it wont bring up any websites, right now then I'm hooked to it by a ethernet and the computer I'm talking on right now is working for internet, so it cant be my modem [07:46] Ok here's the message I'm getting [07:47] Oh ur trying to capture wireless data using wireshark?

[07:47] paddy_: any doesn't matter whatever you can get [07:47] paddy_: printed books suck imo :) [07:47] For example, Crhome? [07:48] Minino71: try chrome [07:48] The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact your computer administrator [07:48] that what i was using when i encountered shockwave [07:48] glebihan: ok, one second, thanks. [07:48] Ok, i'll try!! [07:48] Moopz: http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/WLAN [07:48] Sorry its taking me so long to type I'm using my phone [07:48] Moopz: have u looked at that? [07:49] anyone know where sitepage that teach to bind subdomain ? [07:49] So as it is right now I can't even login [07:49] its very adapter dependent, and may or may not work with your particular adapter [07:49] Richie086, I'll take a look. 2 secs. [07:49] Moopz: Unfortunately, changing the 802.11 capture modes is very platform/network adapter/driver/libpcap dependent and might not be possible at all (Windows is very limited here). [07:50] NewDroidOrder-Dr: try "sudo dpkg --configure -a" === jeremy_ is now known as Guest42669 [07:50] should not be a problem with ethernet, but i have run into issues with capturing wifi data with wireshark.. there are other tools out there that will do it tho... are you trying to do something like break encryption or what excactly are you trying to monitor via wifi? [07:50] I'm at my login screen how to I open terminal from here? [07:51] log in, for starters. [07:51] Richie086, It's for a computer course at my university. [07:51] GUI or console? [07:51] Can't... [07:51] NewDroidOrder-Dr: Ctrl+Alt+F1 to go to terminal, then type your username and login [07:51] Ok ill give it a shot [07:51] Richie086, But most of this seems out of my league as I'm really new to Ubuntu. [07:51] Moopz: is it possible to connect via a wired ethernet connection [07:52] Its now stuck at a black screen [07:52] Richie086, I can at home, but not at school. It's all a shitty wireless network. [07:52] I need help erasing the contents of a sd card...everytime i erase everything on it and the n recheck it...the same files are still there [07:52] NewDroidOrder-Dr: try Ctrl+Alt+F2 [07:52] And just rebooted [07:52] ooo. [07:52] well, try at home and if u run into probs, check back here, a lot of smart people are willing to help.. [07:53] OK. Did the partitioning with the 8.04 CD, now installing the 10.X base system. [07:53] Cross fingers... [07:53] Moopz: just wondering, what class is this for? [07:53] Once again stuck at blank black screen [07:54] to make it so when i double click a .txt file it loads in gvim i should just be able to right-click the file and choose 'properites->open with->gvim' right? cause it's not working for some reason [07:54] Richie086, I'm doing Robotics Engineering and it's for a Datacommunications class. [07:54] NewDroidOrder-Dr: try all Ctrl+Alt+F? from 1 to 6 [07:54] Moopz: sounds interesting [07:55] Lol well this will take a while, I hang at this screen then it reboots. Ill try it though [07:55] Richie086, It is. Albeit extremely hard at times. [07:55] Moopz: what exactly is the end goal of using wireshark? to see how computers communicate at the packet level? [07:55] NewDroidOrder-Dr: otherwise, reboot in recovery mode, and go to root login when asked [07:56] Richie086, Yeah. We need an understanding of how packets work. [07:56] Moopz: yeah but if school isn't challenging, ur probabally not learning anything [07:56] gotcha [07:56] I think ill try that after this next failed attempt [07:56] Besides trying to reinstall the operating system is their a way to get the internet working on my labtop, A ethernet cord use to work and now its not working either [07:56] Meta-question. What's up with the FloodBot things? [07:57] I'm having a really weird issue, I have files that aren't being read by programs, Nautilus doesn't show the files as existing (even gksudo nautilus) and weechat can't read any of its settings, but midnight commander and ls show the files as existing, although ls returns: cannot access file.extension: Input/output error [07:57] Moopz: btw thats a very daunting task if your not all too familar with networking protocols [07:57] Pseudonym: don't worry about them, they like to play with each other :) [07:57] i have a dual boot on this same labtop of windows 7 and when I go into windows 7 then it works just fine [07:57] glebihan:http://paste.ubuntu.com/492950/ [07:57] any one herer to field a Q [07:57] Ok I'm in recovery [07:58] how can i hacked the Networking ( Like back track 4 ) [07:58] yeriyahoovaio: all I have in there is a filename from your computer, did you try pasting a screenshot ? [07:58] glebihan, call me paranoid, but a bunch of robots all oping and deoping at random times makes me a bit nervous. [07:58] Moopz: but yeah u will have much more luck on a wired network [07:58] has anyone ever had any luck with 10.4 seems like its just been bullshit eversince i tried it [07:58] Pseudonym: as long as you don't flood, they won't hurt you [07:58] Richie086, I just assume the professor knows what he's doing :P We're doing protocols along with this. I think it'll be some rather superficial knowledge of the subject we end up getting. [07:58] Blackweb, can you be more specific? [07:58] !bind [07:58] I'm having a really weird issue, I have files that aren't being read by programs, Nautilus doesn't show the files as existing (even gksudo nautilus) and weechat can't read any of its settings, but midnight commander and ls show the files as existing, although ls returns: cannot access file.extension: Input/output error [07:59] yes, sorry. trying to get on the fast track of learning protocol...

[07:59] Moopz: wow! that sounds cool, and very difficult [07:59] NewDroidOrder-Dr: do you have access to a console now ? [08:00] Yes [08:00] NewDroidOrder-Dr: so try "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [08:00] so what i want to know is, is ubuntu 10.4 garbage.

[08:44] how can i nstall skype ,i downloaded from the official skype and it was in a arvhive with some files, [08:44] maybe its because it is trying to be used on a livecd.. i never heard of running it off a persistant livecd [08:44] "Is device-mapper missing from kernel?" [08:44] I'm guessing the answer is "yes". [08:44] but it says my broadcom driver doesn't provide monitor-mode [08:44] but it says my broadcom driver doesn't provide monitor-mode [08:45] b0tz, also (this comes from the "SMART Data" in Disk Utilities) it says that the issue is "Current Pending Sector Count" - 2 [08:45] c0mrade, cuz i have to patch your driver [08:45] b0tz, its just a "warning" its not an "Uncorrectable sector count" [08:45] Ah okay [08:45] here is a file I read i can modify to make truecrypt. botz is there anyway to modify a file while useing a live cd. it is in my ext folder [08:45] native ubuntu drivers doesnt have monitor mode enabled [08:45] Hello my friends!

[09:00] ikonia, to give you an idea, when I first login, I look at the purple screen for 10 minutes... then my programs slowly start to boot up and they turn gray and unresponsive for a few minutes, then if you try to do anything ... they freeze up again... if you try to watch a video.. it will play for a few minutes... pause... then resume playing... then pause [09:00] lotuspsychje: like clonezilla? === Dani_ is now known as Komac [09:01] tensorpudding: yes somebody gave me that hint yesterday too tnx [09:01] lotuspsychje, never used that one. you can make a bootable iso of your current setup though [09:01] teamcoltra: and then all of a sudden is starts to go "ok" in terms of speed === gord_ is now known as gord [09:01] bazhang: really? that sounds cool [09:01] ikonia, what I have been doing is if I have to turn off my computer (or I forget to plug it in)... and I have to turn it on...

[09:03] bazhang: ill try remastersys soon, tnx for the hint [09:03] Guest89737: as I told you, it depends on the file system permissions [09:03] bust [09:03] hubb [09:03] Does anyone have any experience syncing or using an iPod with Rythmbox? [09:03] ikonia i dont know what that is, i just want to know how to fix it [09:03] teamcoltra: 1.) look at using bootchat to map the boot up processes to see if any are taking a long time/hogging resource [09:03] adri_, support question? [09:04] uyyk [09:04] Guest89737: as I told you, mount it, do ls -la on the directory and look at the permissons [09:04] adri_, english please [09:04] ikonia, I went to the "Disk Utility" which said that I had 2 "Current Pending Sector Count" warnings -- which are read as "2 bad sectors" === lourense_ is now known as lourense [09:04] Might have been using a Dvorak keyboard?

[09:05] teamcoltra: if you have bad sectors, that's a hardware failre on the disk, howeve 2 bad sectors won't slow the machine down [09:05] teamcoltra: 3.) disable compiz visual effects [09:05] teamcoltra, sometimes disk utility doesnt say the truth [09:05] Guest89737: pastebin the output please [09:06] ikonia http://pastebin.com/TC3R8Jty [09:07] Guest89737: ok, so those files are owned by the user adam, as long as you are logged into adam, you should be able to control them [09:07] ikonia, how can i make it owned by 2 different users?

[09:22] hi guys, I have a program that requires a specific library version which is located in the same program directory, how do I tell it that the library is in that folder instead of linking with the existing libraries in my machine ? [09:22] tensorpudding: i think as i read it compiled well on 3.0 but it might have compile errors on higher gcc versions due to stl incompatibilities [09:23] boba: -fwritable-strings is obsolete, you can probably fix the code to make it compile by removing it from the Makefile [09:23] tensorpudding: i tried that, but then i get a lot more errors, like ostream is not recognized, neither defined nor friend function sth like that [09:23] oh [09:24] friends i am having trouble compiling ftape on my ubuntu 10.04 system. anyone ever use this problem or have any tips? [09:24] i dont see any repositories for this [09:24] tensorpudding: do you want the compile errors on pastebin [09:24] I need to get ahold of an Truecrypt rescue disk iso. as far as i can tell there is no way to get on when running truecrypt in ubuntu.

[09:26] I need to get ahold of an Truecrypt rescue disk iso. as far as i can tell there is no way to get on when running truecrypt in ubuntu. I do not have axcess to windows comp. any ideas please help [09:26] kind need some help how to do partial upgrade [09:26] should be [09:27] anyhow, I had better go do something else... [09:27] tensorpudding: any suggestion on how should go about it? I tried fixing but it has thousands of errors that appear after removing -fwritable...... [09:28] yalex: in System->Administration->Language support, you should be able to do this$ [09:29] boba: if it doesn't support gcc 4, i'd imagine it has been abandoned. fixing it by hand would probably require a lot of work, so I'm not sure. [09:31] tensorpudding: what about trying with 3.0, is there a way to do that without having to change the configuration on my comp? [09:31] tensorpudding: what about trying with 3.0, is there a way to do that without having to change much the configuration on my comp?

I do not have axcess to windows comp. any ideas please help [09:33] boba: i'm going to guess installing gcc 3 would be tricky [09:33] boba: where did you find this code? [09:33] tensorpudding: http://www-graphics.stanford.edu/software/scanalyze/ [09:34] tensorpudding: even though they say there is a code that fixes theses errors, i tried that it gives me the same errors [09:34] tensorpudding: Luke Campagnola of Colorado School of Mines has patched Scanalyze to overcome these incompatibilities and provided his code for download: [09:35] hi all [09:35] jmg, hi [09:35] what kernel debugger should i use for ubuntu 9.10? [09:35] kdb and kgdb arent in the repositories. [09:36] boba: did you obtain the fixed sources? [09:36] boba: or are these problems referring to those "fixed" sources [09:37] tensorpudding: You mean the sources from "Luke Campagnola of Colorado School of Mines" [09:37] boba: Yeah, that is what I meant, the patched sources that he provided. [09:38] tensorpudding: i tried them too [09:38] tensorpudding: The same problem with unrecognized command line option "-fwritable-strings" [09:39] i only require an instruction trace [09:39] boba: Okay, so the patched version doesn't work with the newest versions. [09:39] tensorpudding: after removing it from Makedefs.Linux it reises other problems like ../../Pnt3.h:86: error: ‘ostream’ is neither function nor member function; cannot be declared friend [09:40] hello [09:40] tensorpudding: i tried then putting std::, and then this created a lot more additional errors [09:40] though the FAQ includes an instance of compiling it on gcc 4.1 [09:40] so that is odd [09:42] tensorpudding: i tried that too, but I cannot find "auxlibs/dist/mixkit/mix-config.Linux:", and could not do what he suggests === Craig_Dem_ is now known as Craig_Dem [09:42] tensorpudding: auxlibs has only include directory and not dist [09:42] in your guys' opinion would you prefer to have the desktop verion on ubuntu installed or the netbook remix? [09:43] Is it possible to install ShockWave on Linux's Firefox? [09:43] Appl3Kork, i think i will get the full version ubuntu not the notebook one [09:43] boba: You might send an email to their mailing list [09:44] ya ok, that's what i was figuring [09:44] owner: No, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave [09:44] i mean my netbook is running the netbook remix, but I personally don't really like the layout, not much open space [09:44] owner yes [09:44] lol... Ok, its either yes or no. [09:44] Can't be both. [09:45] Google says yes and no also... Some websites say yes and some say no. [09:45] owner, i didnt say no [09:45] The person above you did. [09:45] owner: No, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave [09:45] i have shockwave in ubuntu 10.04 installed [09:45] Did you use wine? === tPl0ch is now known as dogmatic69 [09:46] I guess I'm off to install the desktop version [09:46] * Viking667 would LOVE to know how the heck you got Shockwave going without wine/cxoffice/whatever [09:46] will I need the 64 bit version if I want it to read more then 4GB of RAM? [09:46] tensorpudding: I will try that, thanks === dogmatic69 is now known as tPl0ch [09:46] Jordan_U: Windows version of firefox for wine doesn't work for me. It freezes each time. === sartf is now known as skfin [09:47] tensorpudding: I don't know if they reply quicklly but is worth trying i guess [09:47] what can i use to perform an instruction trace on the kernel? [09:47] tensorpudding: :) [09:47] :/ [09:48] hi, is this correct to create another user with privilege right? usermod -G admin newuser [09:48] geez, that's ugly. [09:49] Katsumi32: Do you have shockwave installed or flash? They are not the same. [09:50] Does anyone know how to get mame emulator games to work on karmic with an ATI Radeon X1200 graphic card? [09:51] and what's the difference between the alternate and desktop install? [09:51] Is it possible to install shockwave onto xubuntu's firefox, without using wine and windows firefox? [09:51] owner: No. [09:51] Jordan_U, shockwave flash in namoroka [09:51] HellOlAloHallOhayo.. I HI.. [09:52] Appl3Kork - The Desktop install is based on a Live CD, where you can access a desktop system during the install. Alternative is just DOSlike install screen, no bells and whistles, but works on systems where the Live CD doesn't. [09:52] Appl3Kork - If you don't know which one to get, the Alternative works in most circumstances, but you can always get both, use the Live CD install first, and keep the Alternative as a fallback. [09:53] Katsumi32: Shockwave is not flash: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Shockwave [09:53] hi guys, I have a program that requires a specific library version which is located in the same program directory, how do I tell it that the library is in that folder instead of linking with the existing libraries in my machine ? [09:53] MissingPerson: and is the 32 and 64 bit, just like Windows 32 and 64 bit? 64 bit can handle more ram? [09:54] abe3k: probably a linker option [09:54] Jordan_U: Someone here just said they had shockwave on Ubuntu 10.4 or something like that. [09:54] i cant seem to connect via sftp to the other pc on my LAN. i have an exception in firestarter. could anyone help me? [09:54] abe3k: maybe try ##c or something? [09:54] Jordan_U: Maybe they meant flash... hmmm [09:54] Jordan_U, it says shockwave flash ver 10.1 r82 [09:54] Is there a substitute to shockwave on firefox? without wine? [09:55] Appl3Kork - I hate to spread misinformation, but I think Linux can handle more RAM natively on 32-bit than Windows. If you want things to just work, go 32-bit. If you want the most out of your hardware, and you have a 64-bit processor, go 64. If you're not sure, go 32 [09:55] Hey guys what SSD would you guys recommend for (Ubuntu Linux) for a Desktop? [09:55] I thought that ld searches the local directory first. [09:55] bonjour [09:56] jean buenas amigo [09:56] Katsumi32: If you do have shockwave installed without wine, how did you do so? [09:56] !fr | jean_ [09:56] jean_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [09:56] Katsumi32: Shockwave is none the less a separate piece of software that is not available for linux. You can confirm this by going to Adobe's shockwave test page: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ [09:56] merci [09:57] Jordan_U, so why in namoroka it says shockwave ? [09:57] Katsumi32: I don't know. [09:58] ok:) [09:58] hi [09:58] Does anyone know how to get mame emulator games to work on karmic with an ATI Radeon X1200 graphic card? [09:58] hi there :-) [09:58] screen sometimes give me segfault [09:58] FloodBot1, what ? [09:59] i cant seem to connect via sftp to the other pc on my LAN. i have an exception in firestarter. could anyone help me? [09:59] snow_ru, bad graphic driver? [09:59] Katsumi32, "screen" as a program [09:59] my audio doesnt work [09:59] i hate it they removed alsaconf [09:59] now i'm clueless [09:59] pie_time: is ssh listening on the other pc? [10:00] i use 10.04 [10:00] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, im not sure what does "listening" entail? [10:00] xjkx, install everything alsa from synaptic u have there utils etc [10:00] where the heck would I find a decent Russian translator (from Russian into English?) [10:00] anyone used utorrent bittorrent webui? [10:00] pie_time: sftp depends on a listening ssh server. the ssh server is not installed by default, so you might have to install that first [10:00] Viking667, google.com [10:01] I think it has to go in apache cgi-irc and guess just write a vhost for it? [10:01] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, that is installed [10:01] Katsumi32: heh. Figures. I'm inside a virtual world at the moment, and can't get the terms translated. Some Russian wrote it, and didn't provide English translations througout. [10:01] pie_time: ok, so you can 'ssh' into your machine? [10:01] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, no. [10:02] anyone help me with video setting on ubuntu 10.04?? My ununtu menu was running slowly so i adjusted the screen settings down, it was running smoothly for about 10mins then started freezing again!!! any ideas? [10:02] what settings did you adjust? [10:02] Viking667, can u use google.com ? just paste your russian txt there and translate to whatever you want to [10:02] Viking667: translate.google.com is pretty good (if you consider any automated translation good :) [10:03] looks like I'll have to flip backwards and forwards between screens AND windows then... [10:03] sigh [10:03] (and possibly computers too) [10:03] is it possible to get a list of recent packages that have been isntalled? [10:03] pie_time: hmm okay, are you sure sshd (the server) is running? The output of 'netstat -tnl | grep 22' should answer this [10:03] i was oon the mas with 10:4 ratio or whatever the widescreen is and i put in on 1440x900 on 4x3 and it was runnign fine [10:04] then after been on 1440x900 4:3 it started going slow again.. [10:04] Katsumi32: have them, utils and alsa tools, base too [10:05] bugger. Seems I can't enter russian characters [10:05] xjkx, type alsamixer ad check if everything is unmuted === lestat_ is now known as lestat [10:05] Katsumi32: already did [10:06] Viking667, in google translator you can put russian greek etc characters [10:06] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, back. i saw a couple of lines beginning with tcp, and a couple beginning with tcp6 but no ssh [10:06] Katsumi32: only if I can enter them to START with. [10:06] xjkx, and its working? [10:06] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, actually just one line beginning with tcp6 [10:06] Katsumi32: no [10:06] tensorpudding: Any ideas? [10:06] try to reboot [10:07] and half the trouble is, I can't simply cut and paste the text from the other application into google, else that's exactlywhat I would have done. [10:07] Katsumi32: did before [10:07] im trying to run a program that plays tones through my computer's speakers. However when i run it, i get the error : "open /dev/audio: Device or resource busy" any suggestions? [10:07] pie_time: sounds like ssh is not running then. Are you sure it's installed? 'sudo apt-get install ssh' to install the server (the client is there already by default) [10:07] pedestrianentran: hm. Sounds like pulseaudio [10:07] xjkx, do you know what sound card do you have ? was it working in 9.10 ubuntu ? [10:07] brb... looks like I have to haul out the russian books I have [10:08] Viking667, whare do you come from ? [10:08] china [10:08] Katsumi32: its onboard, i dont know. and it was working in 9.10 but i ran alsaconf, i think i installed from source, dont remember, hoping not having to do that now [10:08] Viking667:yes im sure you're right. Some googling led me to type "lsof | grep pcm" which shows pulseaudio running [10:08] only chinese learn russian language [10:08] I'm trying to install ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386 from a liveCD and i cant get past the initial menu it won't let me press enter,whats going on?

[10:09] pie_time: try 'sudo service ssh start' [10:09] Viking667: So I see that pulseaudio is running and preventing my program from producing sound.... what do i do? [10:09] Viking667, learn some languages [10:09] pedestrianentran: that's the problem, in a nutshell. But idon't know how to get around it without stopping pulseaudio [10:09] Katsumi32: heh heh heh. Oh, if only. [10:10] Viking667: ok thanks for your help. Ill keep looking [10:10] #openwide [10:10] xjkx, if u want i show you tutorial how to install everything and if your card was working in 9.10 it will work in 10.04 === wojtek is now known as wpiekutowski [10:10] Problem is, I'd like this text translated now, but I can't even enter the characters into the google box, at least not as they appear.

[10:14] xjkx, yup and i think u have got intel most of build in cards are intel [10:14] * Viking667 goes and grabs the book. [10:15] pie_time: still, it seems that requests are blocked anyhow by firestarter. i suggest looking into config of firestarter again [10:15] xjkx, and even if your card isnt intel just different one but supported by alsa it still will work [10:15] whats the IRC prog to use in ubuntu 10.04? [10:15] kermit: have you tried gscan2pdf ? [10:16] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, i've looked several times and i have all the exceptions I could possibly need. what could be wrong with it?

[10:25] im dual boot with windows vista... when i run ubuntu in VMware thru vista ubuntu works fine... but when i boot it, it runs mega slow [10:26] Adzy, play vm with a poor cpu and ram? no way [10:26] Cmdr_W_T_Riker using the command line. [10:26] FOUND it!!! [10:26] "make active" [10:26] wel it runs fine on vmware [10:27] Viking667, woooow congratulations !!!! [10:27] vmware is too heavy [10:27] \u0441\u0434\u0435\u043b\u0430\u0442\u044c \u0430\u043a\u0442\u0438\u0432\u043d\u044b\u043c [10:27] ugh. [10:27] hello everyone! [10:27] sorry, wasn't supposed to come across like that.. [10:27] Diverdude, I am the worst with anytning network...you could also try ##linux channel if no one here can help ...:) [10:27] hi soulmaster [10:27] kermit: you may give a try to pct-scanner-scripts [10:28] Katsumi32: took a bit of work with a little collins russian dictionary, and various hammerings in google translator to get to that. [10:28] Sigh. [10:28] Funhouse: dpkg -l [10:29] well backtrack 4 runs fine on my system and thats based on ubuntu is it not? [10:29] Adzy, on interpid [10:29] hmm how would one best merge many different ntfs paritions into a different partition. [10:29] Cmdr_W_T_Riker thank you! [10:29] what does this error means -> /bin/sh: /usr/bin/wget: Permission denied ? [10:29] adzy but i heard they upgraded kernel to 2.6.34 [10:30] i run it of USB [10:30] dr0id, type sudo [10:30] you dont have permissions to execute wget dr0id [10:30] dr0id: what were you doing when this happened ? [10:30] so if i upgrade ubuntu kernel would that make it run better? [10:30] cronjobs [10:30] running a php script [10:30] I mean, accessing a url on web server with wget [10:30] Adzy, u have 10.04 ubuntu right ? [10:30] the ubuntu rule #1 is, don't upgrade === blackmatter is now known as test122 [10:30] yes 10.04 [10:31] I'm trying to install ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386 from a liveCD and i cant get past the initial menu it won't let me press enter,whats going on? [10:31] adzy so you gont need upgrade anything [10:31] dr0id: check that /usr/bin/wget is executable [10:31] adzy what the problem with your wifi ? [10:31] how ? [10:31] so then why is it running fine for 10mins then laggin up on the menu [10:31] forsome reason its not pickup my usb modem... [10:31] Does anyone know of a program like synergy that you can access the cd drive of a pc over lan? [10:31] dr0id: ls -l /usr/bin/wget [10:31] there is an good article called 'the evolutions of ubuntu users' [10:32] erry: export the cdrom drive ever samba? [10:32] adzy ok type in terminal dmesg and paste it on this website http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and show me the link [10:32] erUSUL, i can share /media/ but that doesn't seem to be working very well === flyingpenguin is now known as flyingpenguinpie [10:32] im not in ubuntu im in windows [10:33] adzy so boot up ubuntu [10:33] i will then ill post it up! [10:33] :D [10:33] bbs [10:33] i have an ubuntu server open to the internet, and yesterday i added my user account to another group using he command 'usermod -G groupname username' for sharing purposes, and today i found i was no longer in the sudoers file. is this because i've done something funny with the groups, or could something else have gone wrong? [10:33] erry: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=829658 ? [10:34] nesbitt: you used the wrong command with the wrong options [10:34] dr0id: did you get it ? [10:34] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 241680 2009-10-06 20:31 /usr/bin/wget [10:34] erUSUL, yes, but i want to install a program in my other computer which doesn't have a cd drive. So when the propgram asks for disk 2, and i insert disk2 it changes from /media/disk1 to /media/disk2 [10:34] nesbitt: "sudo adduser username groupname" is the safer correct command. if you insist in using usermod then you should have added -a [10:34] so it no longer finds the files in the directory it was [10:35] and it doesn't recognize cd2 [10:35] dr0id: well, looks ok [10:35] erUSUL: ah, i see, would that have screwed up my root privileges? i'm a bit of a n00b with this group stuff... [10:35] glebihan: could you explain me -rwxr-xr-x ? [10:35] man i dont know what the thell happned but i cant connect to a router or internet [10:35] erUSUL: ok, so have i done any more damage than removing myself from sudoers do you think? [10:35] guys is there anyway to restore my deleted files? [10:35] nesbitt: "usermod -G groupname username" makes your user belong to groupname and *only* groupname [10:35] ifconfig shows 0's [10:35] hello all. Is there a way with apt-get/aptitude to install a specific version of MySQL-server ? [10:35] nesbitt: you lost all other memeberships [10:35] hellooooo!!! :D :D :D I am back!! and finally my broadband working!!! :D [10:35] dr0id: it means that owner has all rights, group read and execute, and others read and execute [10:36] erUSUL: i see, so is there some way to restore the default groups? [10:36] erry: make a fstab line for your cdrom so the mount point remains stable [10:36] Funhouse, what dmesg says ? no firmware missing for your wifi? [10:36] erUSUL: should i just delete the users for which i used that command then add them again? [10:36] hm k [10:36] thanks [10:36] nesbitt: for a start boot into recovery mode and add yourself to admin group « adduser username admin » so you can use sudo [10:37] nesbitt: then you can add the rest of the usefull groups [10:37] hmmm ok this is weird. If i access the server via thinlinc and do remote control, and open a terminal i can compile my tex files with latex. But if i SSH to the exact same address as i thinlinc to , the latex program is not available. Could there be any logical explanation for that? [10:37] dr0id: so you were trying to run wget from a php script, that's right ? [10:37] no, from cli, wget http://example.com/wp-content/plugins/cache.php [10:38] it's a VPS, 2 cpanel accounts, on 1 it works fine, on the other it shows this error [10:38] erUSUL: ok, cool, i'm in the root shell now, so i did that and have root privileges again, are there any important groups i need to add myself and other users to? [10:38] dr0id: does it work with sudo ? [10:38] didn't try, because with sudo, how will I make it work? usually when you do sudo command; then it asks for a password [10:39] dr0id, type sudo wdget ........ it will ask for passowrd so type your password [10:39] hey whats the best way to copy old ntfs paritions (logical drives) to another location without loosing any information on the transfer. basic example what im trying to do is this /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 - > /dev/sdb1 but in the form of expanding those paritions in a logical manner over the root tree of sdb1? [10:39] dr0id: don't you have the password [10:39] ? [10:39] nesbitt: plugdev fuse the group of your user etc.... see the groups of a pristine user to get the idea [10:39] yes I do [10:39] so how will my crontab be? [10:39] dr0id: so try with it [10:39] erUSUL: ok, thanks so much for your help! [10:40] anyone knows a tool for backing up synaptic packs to usb [10:40] nesbitt: no problem; next time read the manual pages ... [10:40] dr0id: just trying to locate the issue, this is a just a test, we'll try to make it work normally afterwards [10:40] !aptoncd | lotuspsychje [10:40] lotuspsychje: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [10:40] or can someone direct me to a better place to ask those kind of questions? [10:41] tnx abhijit [10:41] nesbitt: in usermod man page -G option; i quote « If the user is currently a member of a group which is not listed, the user will be removed from the group. This behaviour can be changed via the -a option, which appends the user to the current supplementary group list. [10:41] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1573721 [10:41] erUSUL: ok, cool. i did have a look at the man pages, but i was in a rush, couldn't read them thoroughly. guess i learnt my lesson [10:42] MissingPerson, are you really missing ? [10:42] lotuspsychje, hey! welcome! :) [10:42] nesbitt: ok; [10:42] dr0id: just found this page referring to the same problem you have : http://blog.coderlab.us/2006/08/10/usrbinwget-permission-denied/ [10:42] thanks [10:43] Katsumi32: Thanks for helping with my problem [/sarcasm] [10:43] hi, does anyone no how to compile source for ubuntu [10:43] dr0id: you're welcome [10:43] flyingpenguinpie, see this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 [10:43] ok MissingPerson now question is your card supported by catalyst?

[10:44] ifconfig* [10:44] How do I change desktop environments from Xfce to KDE or GNOME? [10:44] erUSUL I can't remember exactly [10:44] erUSUL and it's not in my bash history [10:44] Madjimms, when you have those installed then you can choose at the time of longin [10:44] abhijit: I don't mean in that form, I'm not trying to do that [10:44] synaptic has an historic log. System>Admin...>synaptic || File> hist log [10:44] I cant find a place to download them [10:45] abhijit: I'm trying to do something where those logical disks are expanded under the root tree of the ntfs tables [10:45] Madjimms: install ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop [10:45] Katsumi32: I already mentioned within the thread that it isn't. However, wouldn't legacy MAME games not have problems rendering? [10:45] erUSUL I've been using the command line, will it still be there? [10:45] I can only download packages for KDE & GNOME but not the entire environment [10:45] flyingpenguinpie, dunno then [10:45] Funhouse: yes [10:45] Madjimms, when you install then then its full kde or full xfce [10:46] So I will have to install a different version of Linux? [10:46] MissingPerson, i see you have ati x1200 and u run ubuntu 9.10 my advice go to amd web http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx get the sorrect catalyst for your card and everything will work perfect catalyst do work with x1200 and ubuntu 9.10 [10:46] I don't like Xfce in Xubuntu [10:46] erUSUL it only shows a few pkgs [10:46] abhijit: yeah I might have to develop an application for this lol [10:46] MadAGu, no [10:46] flyingpenguinpie, best luck with that :D [10:46] Katsumi: It ISN'T supported by Catalyst in 9.10.

[10:56] MissingPerson, yes [10:56] hi , i made shortcut "my computer" to desktop , and i want remove it... [10:56] Oliphaunt: I think system-wide crontab works, but not user-specific crontab.

[10:59] nakhlawi: yes, I saw that it didn't run [10:59] nakhlawi: my question was why [10:59] gezegenci: open terminal, cd Desktop, rm [10:59] This sure is taking a long time to unpack [10:59] no--name , it's not file , it's shortcut [10:59] banksy, type /j #mythtv [10:59] Madjimms: it is downloading too [11:00] shortcuts are files [11:00] gezegenci: ^ [11:00] !compile | no--name [11:00] ok [11:00] no--name: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [11:00] Oliphaunt: Maybe you have to be listed in the cron.allow file. This of course needs some manual reading though. [11:00] thank you abhijit [11:00] nakhlawi: I am in that file; it works fine until I reboot, then it looks like I can get it running again by doing crontab -e just once [11:01] Well, thanks for your help [11:01] any one can help me in using remuco please.................??? [11:01] when i run the remuco application on my phone its showing "Found no remuco service on the selected device"...any help please???

I have added this line to my /etc/fstab: //hda/Music /home/benq/Music smbfs credentials=/home/benq/.smbpasswd 0 0 It maps perfectly fine upon boot, but it says that 'root' owns it, so i can't write to it.. However if I browse to the share and put in the same credentials that are in .smbpasswd i can write to it without problem (in a filebrowser run as my standard username). Any ideas? [13:14] el programa en español donde esta? [13:14] rooks: any ideas how to resolve it? [13:14] italia [13:14] MACscr, nope, i just reboot [13:15] /relogin [13:15] rooks: crap, i cant be doing that every time this happens. Have to many apps running [13:15] yeah, its pain, turning off desktop effects in apperance ight sove some of it [13:15] m [13:15] I need to make a live disk with OOo but no networking [13:15] devoandare in italia chat [13:16] dexster, Se si digita / join # ubuntu-it sarà commutato nel canale ubuntu italiano [13:17] quit [13:18] bouma [13:18] i have to write or join /joint #ubuntu-it [13:19] my Ubuntu has become non-responsive (i.e. non-visible to me now.) I just installed VBOX ADDITIONS iso -- I thought it had finished.. it looks like it finished, but now after LOGIN, I get the login sound -- and then a blank white screen [13:19] It did give me the larger resolution [13:19] the problem is that gnome "sound recorder" is a piece of shit if you need serious lengths of time, like hours, and your /tmp is only a gig or so [13:19] but.. the screen is white [13:19] dexster, just type where you type here /join #ubuntu-it [13:19] lossless (flac eg) [13:20] I thought it may be a memory problem.. but i've waited & waited & look at logs & don't see any problems.. I just can't see anything [13:20] thanks coz [13:21] bouma: that's not the sound recorder's fault. Any recorder will fail if its backing store filesystem is limited in size. [13:21] ectospasm: sure, but even though i might have a tb somewhere else "sound recorder" cannot be configured to use it, and will fail because my /tmp is full. this is a problem imho [13:22] bouma: so make a larger /tmp [13:23] ectospasm: /tmp is just part of my root, this is the only reason for me to create a dedicated tmp and on this laptop i dont really have the space, tmp presumeably needs to be always present not .. i guess i can just put another filesystem in fstab, but it seems the wrong way around it, i think the best way is to make /tmp a symbolic link to the tb [13:23] what is the channel for ubuntu 10.10 beta? [13:24] #ubuntu+1 [13:24] ectospasm: but where should i do this? i imagine bad things could happen if suddenly at some point in the boot up /tmp changes after the tb becomes mounted. is there documention which explains the options for adjusting wher tmp is that anybody knows of ? [13:24] bouma: mount --bind /path/to/tb/dir /tmp [13:25] make sure /path/to/tb/dir has sticky bit and same permissions as /tmp, and you should be OK [13:25] bouma: or use something like audacity to record sound [13:26] Hello! when I fullscreen any online stream on my external monitor. the fullscreen shifts to the laptops monitor. How can I fix that? [13:26] ectospasm: well if audacity doesnt have that problem with very large flac records then i'll defo go that option [13:27] bouma: you may need to record it in a noncompressed PCM format first, then convert to FLAC [13:27] ectospasm: btw, you dont happen to know of any linux apps with a feature to view the spectral view for a large stretch (like hours or a whole file), similarly to the way cool edit pro used to allow [13:28] bouma: if audacity can't do it I dunno [13:28] ectospasm: why is that? seems like a cludge, and it would be very preferable if i didnt need twice the space to do that (or more like 6x with the type of audio im recording which is highly compressible) [13:28] bouma: I dunno if audicity can do FLAC natively. [13:31] Hello! when I fullscreen any online stream on my external monitor. the fullscreen shifts to the laptops monitor. How can I fix that?

No, it doesn't submit information about the computer or user to other sites. [14:36] Oer, do you know what is the Port number for the MySQL services please? [14:36] Oer, the reconfiguration of phpmyadmin asks for the root password and then attempts to create a user for phpmyadmin. The reconfiguring can't seem to access mysql-server. [14:36] ibrahim-kasem, default mysql port: 3306 [14:36] s3r3n1t7, thnx :) [14:37] popey, are you a GNU or canonical volunteer? [14:38] pie_time: I'm just some guy, you know.

[15:22] B|ackPanther, but i believe those files should be editable by root only, so a 711 (maybe 771) should be correct [15:22] jfer91: just wlan eap sucks [15:22] B|ackPanther, with root as owner [15:23] B|ackPanther, no you should be able to restore the defaults [15:23] trijntje, I am installing gnome system tools now, i will see if this will solve the strange problem.

[15:42] hcook, its in the compiz plugins extras package [15:42] VCoolio, lol wut [15:42] hello, i need help with package managing, i joined here from #mysql, i'm using 10.04 server and i want to remove mysql and all of its contains & configs COMPLETLY and they told my somthing about removing the "datadir" too, any suggestions? [15:43] n1ck6464: please don't repeat [15:43] VCoolio, guy changed his permissions on /etc, and cant use sudo [15:43] soz [15:43] hcook, package name is "compiz-fusion-plugins-extra" [15:43] n1ck6464: try "purge" (it's an aptitude/apt-get command) [15:43] ViN86: ah, missed that, but there is no root so you can't login as one [15:44] what's the diference between apt-get and aptitude? [15:44] mtphys, aptitude is more advanced [15:44] mtphys, some say aptitude handles dependencies better but I see no difference [15:44] mtphys: aptitude has a ncurses UI [15:44] it handles debencies better [15:44] VCoolio, im too used to slackware i guess heh [15:45] Also aptitude is being removed from a default install starting 10.10 [15:45] if aptide is better, why apt-get still survive? [15:45] There is root. The password is just randomly generated. [15:45] aptitude* [15:45] !better | mtphys [15:45] mtphys: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:45] I can generate a package download script with Synaptic, but is there a command to do this with aptitude or apt-get? [15:45] onexused: No, the root account is locked. There is no password but you cannot log into it. [15:46] onexused, yes [15:46] onexused, one sec [15:46] Flannel, What Ubuntu version are we talking about? I can log in as root just fine (but I never do it) [15:47] onexused: All of them. [15:47] Flannel, *shrug* works for me. [15:47] Hi - Running the Ubuntu server and tried to upload files using my account to /var/www but i get permission denied. How can I allow this? Since the account is root. [15:47] onexused: How do you log in as root? with a login/password? [15:47] jhine: your account should not be root [15:48] jhine: change the owner/group of www to your user. i use myusername:www-data for user/group [15:48] Yeah it isnt I worded it wrong. [15:48] Hey [15:48] ikonia: saw my message? [15:48] onexused, Here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/clone-your-ubuntu-installation.html [15:48] rrohitiit: no [15:48] ikonia : wget works in lxde [15:48] Flannel, I don't know about the gui login screen, but with the text login, I just use "root" and the password I set with passwd. [15:48] Guys, what is the freest internet browser available? [15:48] Paddy_NI, Thanks. [15:48] rrohitiit: ok, in lxde try some dns lookups [15:49] fruitbag: they are all free in Ubuntu [15:49] fruitbag, anything released using the GPL [15:49] fruitbag: try one of the browsers with a free software license such as GPL [15:49] ikonia : it uses xactly same network preferences [15:49] bastidrazor: www-data is event getting permission denied. [15:49] onexused: That's because you set the password. Once you do that, you can log in, of course. But most people will stick with the default, as there's no need to use the root account. [15:49] rrohitiit: that's not what I asked [15:49] ikonia:is it smthing with gnome-terminal [15:49] Flannel, Which is why I said the password was gibberish by default, not that you could never log in : ) [15:50] ikonia : k..tell me what u want me to do [15:50] Flannel, Er, "randomly generated". [15:50] onexused: The password isn't gibberish, and you cannot login. The password is locked. [15:50] rrohitiit: run some dns queries from lxde [15:50] jhine: is your user part of the www-data group? [15:50] ikonia : like nslookup? [15:50] onexused: There's a difference. A randomly generated password means that someone could theoretically log in (brute forcing it). A locked account cannot be brute forced, *no* password is the right password. [15:50] rrohitiit: that's one option, dig is another [15:50] bastidrazor: How do I check.. newb :P [15:50] Flannel, Whatever. This seems like we're both arguing the same side, but slightly different versions of it. I'm done talking about this. [15:51] somebody knows about IDE for squid config? [15:51] onexused: I'm just trying to correct your understanding of the issue, since it's an important distinction. [15:51] mtphys: do you mean a gui [15:51] yas [15:51] ikonia : nopes [15:51] sorry [15:51] mtphys: there is a cache manager web interface, but other than that, no gui [15:51] rrohitiit: no what ? [15:51] jhine: type 'groups' and to add yourself to the group type: sudo adduser yourusername www-data ::substitute yourusername for your actual user [15:51] ikonia : couldnt reach servers [15:52] rrohitiit: ok, good, to that explains the issue a bit better [15:52] ikonia what's the name of package? [15:52] rrohitiit: in the gnome-terminal environment wget is not picking up the proxy settings you use, in the lxde it appears to be [15:52] logout [15:52] ikonia : how to fix? [15:52] exit [15:52] rrohitiit: this is something I suggested to you the other day when I explained why you should not be doing sudo su [15:52] mtphys: it's in squid [15:52] Paddy_NI, Actually, this link seems like it's only for another machine with Ubuntu (I just glanced over it), not an actual list of the package urls (like Synaptic's "Generate Package Download Script" option or Gentoo's emerge -pf) [15:52] Paddy_NI: cool thanks [15:52] bastidrazor: james adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin sambashare admin, are the only groups, which group? [15:53] ikonia : no fix? [15:53] rrohitiit: that IS the fix [15:53] onexused, the synaptic alternative is only for another ubuntu machine also [15:53] ikonia : what? [15:54] hcook, no probs [15:54] ikonia : i should i reinstall or smthing [15:54] jhine: www-data did you chown /var/www to your user? [15:54] rrohitiit: I explained to you the other day about the shell enviornment and why you should not use sudo su - this is the same situation as that but different desktop envionments having different environmental variables [15:55] ikonia : so now that ive done the mistake how can i correct it? [15:55] rrohitiit: you need to work through your environmental differences between shells and users [15:55] Paddy_NI, If, with Synaptic, I select the packages I want to install/update, then go to File>Generate package download script , it will save a bash script with a bunch of wget lines. This does not require Synaptic on another machine to download the packages with. Only bash and wget. [15:56] Paddy_NI, This is what I want, but I want to use aptitude or apt-get to generate it instead. Alternately, just printing all the urls like Gentoo's emerge -pf does would be acceptable. [15:57] onexused, hmm you want urls to the packages? [15:57] Paddy_NI, yes. [15:57] onexused, that would also require urls to all dependencies also [15:57] i want to switch to using thunderbird and pidgin for my default email and chat clients (evolution + gmail imap is much too slow and telepathy is unreliable). is there a way to change the mail and chat options in the status bar at the top right to link to these apps instead? (if not, how can i remove them?) [15:58] would be nasty to try installing all that [15:58] Paddy_NI, Only the ones that aren't already installed. I believe Synaptic takes care of that. [15:58] onexused, that is precisely what dpgk get selections does [15:59] onexused, apt-get --print-uris install packagename [16:00] Seveas-train, oh nice I had not seen that [16:00] Hey was just here, what was the command for deleting folders? [16:00] sound is working now! i just installed alsa-utils :P :P :P :D [16:00] bruzer, rm [16:00] onexused, what Seveas-train said.. seems exactly what you want [16:01] onexused, apt-get -y --print-uris install kdenlive | sed -n -e "s/'\(.*\)'.*/wget \1/p" [16:01] to create wget commands :) [16:01] bruzer: rm -r or rmdir [16:01] Seveas-train: slick ! [16:01] Paddy_NI, Seveas, yes it is what I want. [16:01] Seveas-train, That is what I want. Thanks a lot! [16:01] Seveas-train, the sed master [16:01] onexused, apt-get -y --print-uris install kdenlive | sed -n -e "s/^'\(.*\)'.*/wget \1/p" [16:02] this last one is exactly what you want [16:02] the other had a tiny error [16:02] so, sudo rm -r /usr/lib w wold get rid of folder "w"? [16:02] Seveas-train, Okay, thanks again. [16:02] bruzer: no, that would be a bad idea to run [16:02] Seveas-train, I need to learn awk and sed badly [16:02] !ops | bruzer typing dangerous commands [16:02] bruzer typing dangerous commands: Help! Channel emergency!

[16:02] ?? [16:02] Paddy_NI, I'm nowhere near master, just apprentice :) [16:03] bruzer: don't. [16:03] Seveas-train, Learning by doing or reading the manpage or other? [16:03] not learning at all. Just memorized basic usage [16:03] though regexes I eat for breakfast, but !offtopic :) [16:04] I pugged in a Belkin wireless card. How to setup it for internet connection sharing? I also don't know if its driver is loaded. [16:05] hello [16:05] can someone plz help me with my lucid server? [16:05] arundracula, Its a PCI card? [16:05] Alborz, someone in #ubuntu-server may be? [16:05] well actually i need to start vnc [16:06] to have remote desktop === Spec[x] is now known as Spec [16:06] but currently i only have terminal access [16:06] So what would I type to get rid of /usr/lib/w? [16:06] i tried tightvnc [16:06] arundracula, gotta go talk to you in about 15 mins if you are not already sorted [16:06] but no luck [16:07] bruzer: rm -r /usr/lib/w with sudo. your previous statement left out the last / which would have been very bad [16:07] wow boss misunderstood me when said i get lotsa spam in email ,she thought i said i like it and bought me a can [16:07] I tried to start pptpd but i need some help [16:07] would someone plz pm me? [16:08] thanks gonna try it [16:08] It is a PCI card.. [16:08] Does anyone know if anyone made a kernel patch to disable the disk cache? [16:09] Alborz: you have a server so just ssh into it. server has no graphics. what do you want to do in your server? [16:09] slugfiller: why would you need a patch to do that? === hhlp_ is now known as hhlp [16:09] Because it's buggy, and is making all of my programs crash [16:10] Hello everybody [16:10] Besides, I rarely, if ever, read the same file twice [16:10] I wanna connect to gnome and not x [16:10] Alborz: then you should install ubuntu desktop not the server adition [16:11] well,actually I need to setup a vpn service [16:11] is it possible through ssh ? [16:11] I already tried installing pptp [16:11] and adding users and so [16:11] and restarting pptpd [16:11] I'd do it myself, but it would be quicker to just switch to WinXP, rather than sifting through the 1000+ files that make up the kernel [16:11] Alborz: you can run graphic apps in ssh -x yes [16:12] but I cannot connect with my ubuntu box and xp box [16:12] ssh -X [16:12] Alborz: adding users can be done with cli you don't need graphics for that [16:12] michLinuxGuy: thank you for correcting [16:12] well I added a test user to chap-secrets file [16:13] any one? [16:14] Alborz, try asking in #ubuntu-server [16:14] hi, does anyone knows a good chess game for ubuntu 10.04 ? [16:14] Okay, new question: What's the quickest way to migrate my evolution settings from Ubuntu Evolution to Windows Evolution? [16:14] cenciu, you can search in software center [16:15] Alborz: vpn service sorry that's for virtual protected network. you just want to link your home to a protected work network? [16:15] i searched, but i didn't find one that satisfy my request , abhijit [16:15] cenciu, what is your requirement? [16:15] cenciu: by "good" do you mean AI or cosmetic? [16:16] Guys I need help, my computer has fully broke and I want to know if it had bricked. [16:16] abhijit: have u ever played the chess that windows seven has installed from default ? [16:16] michLinuxGuy: cosmetic, nice graphic [16:16] BAsically its giving me kernal errors when I try to load ubuntu, running memory stick USB from slax wont work and windows 7 wont load. It was making a beeping noise and would not start before. [16:16] hiii [16:16] cenciu, no. because i have genuine vista home basic. which dont have all those fancy things [16:16] I just opened Ubuntu, and the whole computer frozeon the tab I was on [16:17] How do I fix it as I need to use the computer and nothing will work === nik0 is now known as niko [16:17] i have a prob with my pci sound card [16:17] abhijit: vista is grose [16:17] ANyone?1 [16:17] ?!* [16:17] cenciu, see my latest post here: http://abhijitnavale.blogspot.com/ [16:18] cenciu, try searching the databse of getdeb [16:18] Please someone I cant do anything with the computer at the moment [16:18] stealth_: You have to be more clear. Is this a clean install? Did this happen after an update? After an upgrade? [16:18] stealth_: Anyone what? I just joined the channel, so "anyone?" is not a good question. [16:18] Minimec it happened randomly after I opened Ubuntu just now [16:18] abhijit: okay, thanks [16:18] I had not upgraded anything in days [16:19] It was working fine then I got a kernal issue. [16:19] One last thing, I installed a program, it didnt work, so I used apt-get in terminal and it still won't work, I thought it was still pointing at "W" which is why I wanted it gone, but it didnt fix the roblem [16:19] stealth_: So you use ubuntu daily without problem, and now randomly you have this problem? [16:19] Yeah, kernal failure [16:20] how do i share my 2nd hard disk ??? [16:20] Windows 7 just wont load, Ubuntu gtibes me a kernal error, (Unable to handle kernal) and SLAX makes the screen go all funny [16:20] cenciu: you may want to look at DreamChess [16:20] stealth_: ok. Try to boot with an older kernel once. shit button right after the boot screen. [16:20] stealth_: maybe hardware? memory error? maybe try the memtest [16:20] Oklet me get the laptop down here 2 mins [16:20] stealth_: sift not ... ;) [16:20] shift [16:20] no one ???? [16:21] Lol [16:21] michLinuxGuy: i have it already. is good , but not enough [16:21] I get a different error minimex [16:21] this time it says KERNAL THREAD HELPED+0x6/'ox10 [16:21] I can run a memtest? [16:21] cenciu: sorry, when I place chess, I just use the text based gnuchess [16:21] its been like over 5 yrs since i last used irc [16:21] ? [16:22] Memtests runnin [16:22] I am not sure what to be looking for [16:22] abhijit: this is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuHAU5DLV-4 michLinuxGuy [16:22] stealth_: I do guess that happend after an update and as you have some kernel issues, try to use an older kernel version. [16:22] I tried to use a older kernal mini [16:23] minimec what should I look for on memtest [16:23] stealth_: ok. Do you use a ppa version for your GPU like xedgers? [16:23] No idea minimec [16:23] stealth_: mem errors normaly lock up computers. if you have the interupt type maybe they will try to run a program if a mem checksum error happens and give some results [16:23] stealth_: So you probably don't [16:24] Ok minimec [16:24] cenciu, yah i know. when they are about to release vista (at that time i was not aware of linux) i was fan of all this fancy things too. which are only consume hardware and of no use [16:24] stealth_: Do you have auto-login activated? on what moment exactly the screen freezes? [16:25] When I select ubuntu from boot options [16:25] minimec: good point if you have prepriatary or ppa stuff that might cause a problem but your problems are accross multi platform boots [16:25] when I try windoiws 7 it just freezes [16:26] lok minimec, I can take this to a technition, would that be the better iudea? [16:26] minimec: stealth_: sorry I didn't add the right people to my last statement [16:26] look [16:27] K minimec thanks for the help but I think im gonna take it round to a technition [16:27] Wish me luck mate [16:27] stealth_: I thought we were talking about ubuntu... Now you talk about the win7 boot... [16:27] Minimec I tried both and neither work [16:27] anyway, brb [16:27] stealth_: Can you boot a live CD? [16:28] minimec: ya we should of asked him that sooner [16:28] got eth0 and eth1, installed a 3rd nic and named eth2 (card didnt work) so i changed it, same pci slot, and now its named eth3. Why? can i make it eth2 again? [16:29] socram: Remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [16:29] sacarlson: We have to teach them to be more clear from the beginning... [16:29] sacarlson: then we can give them better advice... [16:29] minimec: no we just have to learn to have esp [16:30] sacarlson: true.. we also have to learn [16:30] we are getting offtopic... [16:30] jdps: thanks [16:31] socram: You don't want your IP addresses to be flagging around different NICs just because you put a new one in or rebooted, so MAC addresses are hard-coded to NICs. [16:32] s/flagging/flying/ [16:33] Question, I'm trying to work out how to automatically mount a USB drive on boot. The research I've been doing suggests I should be able to add a line to /etc/fstab that says "/dev/sdb1 /media/My\ Book ext4 auto", but before I go editing system files, I thought I'd ping IRC to make sure I'm on the right track? [16:33] hello all.. Havin some issues with rar files on ubuntu 10.04 /64bit.. the file is 100M but when i try to extract it says there is no files to extract? anyoe come accross this. searched google and couldnt see anything [16:34] Bithound edit /etc/fstab [16:34] socram: well you could make eth3 be eth3 and eth2 if there is no other nic using it i guess. [16:34] socram: opps no sorry [16:35] has anyone try ubuntu 10.10 yet.i did and i had mouse prob on the laptop. [16:36] perlsyntax: #ubuntu+1 is the place to ask. [16:36] perlsyntax, i'm running beta on my dell, works fer me [16:36] that odd i hope they fix it [16:36] perlsyntax: I am testing 10.10 and have no problem with a Logitech Air. --> /join #Ubuntu+1 [16:36] i did [16:37] what causes this problem?

[16:39] I have had kind of a problem with my screen resolution for two or three days [16:39] Bithound: so it's not automatically being detected? normally, USB drives show up on the desktop once plugged in. [16:39] and i was wondering if somone could help [16:39] someone* [16:39] Bithound: what you're describing will mount it on boot automatically, but i believe the hotplug usb mounting is different. i've been trying to do the same with an esata drive recently. [16:39] It's being detected, it's just not mounting, I'm having to go into disk utility and mount it myself [16:39] !resolution | kitari [16:39] kitari: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[16:47] it keep on 640x380 or something when it should be around 1900 something [16:47] hylian: email freenode [16:47] kitari: drivers installed? [16:48] well yes [16:48] and it worked fine when I had just installed for like three days [16:48] aeon-ltd that's exceptionally vague. can you be more specific? [16:48] but now it doesn't work anymore [16:48] IpwnSlaves: redirecting the ports to the internal dns server shouldn't be particularly difficult. getting outsiders to use it might be. [16:48] IpwnSlaves: you got it correct 53 is the dns port and you can tell your adsl router or other to forward port 53 to that ip [16:48] I did an nmap scan with the following result: http://pastebin.com/1nZE6pVw [16:49] But I didn't set up a vnc-server and now doubt, whether it's a false positive or my server got hacked? :-( [16:49] IpwnSlaves: be aware that your isp might now allow that traffic. [16:49] kitari: did you do anything before the problem came up ? [16:49] bobstro: ahhh yes i feel that getting outsiders to use it might be hard as well [16:49] hello .. how to change the bdc-svr at my routers@bdc-svr:~$ [16:49] when im sudo its says unable to solve bdc-svr [16:50] IpwnSlaves: you want to point to your own dns from outside? [16:50] nop I didn't [16:50] appart from changing the backgroung image [16:50] Rou: Do you want to change the prefixes of your shell? [16:50] yes [16:50] but even then it worked fine [16:50] bobstro: i got my domain from godaddy and was using their dns servers (totalDNS they call it) but when i switched it to my local server...nothing really worked, im not sure where to being as DNS is my weakest point [16:50] Kuehlschrank : how to do that [16:50] sacarlson: thank you im going to check what ports im forwarding now... [16:50] Rou: The Path is saved in your SHELL variable [16:50] i restarted one day and couldn't change my resolution anymore [16:51] Kuehlschrank : where to change that ? i dont know sorry. [16:51] kitari: could you look in /etc/X11, you should have a file named "xorg.conf", and maybe some other called xorg.conf.backup or something like that [16:51] IpwnSlaves: there's a lot to be said for using external dns hosting if your box won't be up fulltime. that said, if your isp will allow the traffic, you can run your own. did you enter your address as authoritative for dns? [16:51] hcook: lha is non-free and was disbaled by default on debian... did you check if its really enabled in your config? [16:51] and I've tried to change it manually in the window that is made for that but it just widened the screen but not the resolution [16:51] hcook: just an idea :) [16:52] bobstro: i want my internal server here to be the nameserver for my domain...it shouldn't have too traffic. but i want control on my end here [16:52] Ok, this is beyond me. I have purchased a Logitech G110 with an integrated C-Media sound card. I have deactivated the internal sound card and now wine is not wanting to play nice. Also alsamixer w/o any arguments sais it is unable to open the mixer. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this? [16:52] Rou: http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/howtos/Bash-Prompt/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO-2.html [16:52] IpwnSlaves: sure, i understand. but if your box is offline, you might lose mail, etc. it can certainly be done. did you change the dns entries to point to your server? [16:52] i forgot my nickserv password can someone point me to the proper channel, web page or e-mail address? [16:53] I did an nmap scan with the following result: http://pastebin.com/1nZE6pVw But I didn't set up a vnc-server and now doubt, whether it's a false positive or my server got hacked? [16:53] IpwnSlaves: i tried the same thing some years back, so sympathize. [16:53] bobstro: yea i changed the dns entires to point to my server, once the old entires disapeared out of the other nameservers it all went down [16:53] I've got the xorg.conf file [16:53] hylian: you've already been told to email freenode [16:53] bobstro: im with you man, i'd rather stay with godaddy, sorry for the flipflopping [16:54] no back up though [16:54] IpwnSlaves: have you confirmed that your isp isn't filtering dns requests to subscriber addresses? [16:54] kitari: no other file called xorg.conf.something [16:54] ? [16:54] nop just the one [16:54] IpwnSlaves: do a test from outside and see if it's working. [16:54] kitari: ok could you pastebin this file please ? [16:54] bobstro: basicly, i was told to host the name server locally because mail being sent from the server was ending up in the junk email folder or spam folder "because the nameservers were hosted by godaddy" [16:55] how would I do that? [16:55] anyone know a trackpoint package? [16:55] !paste | kitari [16:55] kitari: 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. [16:55] * kitari is a noob and apologize [16:55] bobstro: Yea i tested from outside (at home) and i couldn't resolve the ip [16:55] glebihan that does not help, or i wuold have stopped posting. i need a channel, web page or e-mail address, i did not find a freenode e-mail address for lost passwords, why doesnt anyone actually read posts? [16:55] lol [16:55] I'm trying to partition a blank drive in advance of installing Windows 7, then Ubuntu on it. Can anyone point me to a guide as to the best way to get partitions set up in advance? [16:55] IpwnSlaves: ah. i'm using dyndns and no problems. i do use isp mail server as smarthost though, to avoid those problems. [16:55] IpwnSlaves: you'll still get flagged by spamfilters if coming from isp ranges, most likely. [16:55] IpwnSlaves: May I instead suggest you concider something like zoneedit.com? [16:55] ? [16:56] Kuehlschrank : is that to change my bdc-svr view for the host ? [16:56] IpwnSlaves: install bind9, get current root servers (ie dig ns . @a.root-servers.net > ./db.root.new), set up zone SOA record (and add it to the config!), bind network to correct interface... thats pretty much all [16:56] IpwnSlaves: AT&T is well known for being fascist about source addresses for email (which is probably a good thing, spam-wise). [16:56] anyone know of a media player with a firefox plugin that supports events such when a movie has sended [16:56] hi [16:56] whats a good shh client for linux? [16:56] ok so here's the link [16:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/493182/ [16:56] anyone [16:56] can someone be way more specific than email freenode? if your coming to my house, i dont just say well, i live in wisconsin. i tell you where i live, my address. [16:56] IpwnSlaves: i have business customers that get filtered for the same reason, even on expensive commercial service. [16:56] Rou: Do you want to change the prompt for everyone that is connecting? [16:57] idefixx: yes, i do have bind9 i have edited named.conf and all [16:57] very interesting [16:57] what is "unknown symbol type '10' " problem [16:57] Kuehlschrank : yes .. i want to change only the bdc-svr for all users [16:57] hi, whats a good shh client for linux? [16:57] IpwnSlaves: did the example I gave you a few days ago give you what you needed? [16:57] anyone trackpoint package? [16:57] or ubuntu [16:57] IpwnSlaves: ya well can you query your server with dig? (directly) [16:57] Kuehlschrank : routers@bdc-svr to routers@ubuntu [16:58] do you mean ssh, paperboy, or do you mean something else? [16:58] hylian: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=898862 [16:58] yes [16:58] hylian: typing "/who freenode/staff/*" should give you access to a list of freenode staff people online, you can then contact them [16:58] SSh [16:58] sascarlson: maybe it was someone else? i haven't been here [16:58] * hylian thank you all [16:58] idefixx: trying digg now [16:58] does lucid lynx work on 32bit desktops? I f so, why then is it recommended for Itanium and Itanium 2 (64bit) computers? [16:58] My wifi PCI card is not detecting. I've installed the driver using ndiswrapper [16:58] hitux: Apperantly the application contains a symbol labled '10' but the computer does not know what this symbol is supposed to mean (just guessing) [16:58] regeya: Yess SSH [16:59] oh heh well I tend to fire up a terminal and use the ssh command-line client...maybe someone else has knowledge of a gui client [16:59] IpwnSlaves: one 'g' ;)... you need to learn that anyway when running your own dns server, helps a lot [16:59] ksbalaji: i would recommend lucid lynx for any bit computer! [16:59] oh let me try that [16:59] ksbalaji: there are 32 and 64-bit releases [16:59] when i boot my toshiba laptop from HDD i get this msg / Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 082) [16:59] Copyright (C) 1997-200 Intel coprporation [16:59] For Realtek RTL8160E/8101E Fast Ethernet Network Adapter v1.02(060810) [16:59] idefixx: typo [16:59] IpwnSlaves: oh sounded like the same problem so maybe you should look at this http://edin.no-ip.com/content/dns-ddns-nsupate-dynamic-ip-web-hosting-debian-mini-howto [16:59] !who | kitari [16:59] kitari: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:59] Kuehlschrank : where to change the host ? [17:00] ubottu, ok [17:00] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [17:00] evil bots [17:00] having trouble opening .rar files, is there anything i need to do it [17:00] they prefer to be called 'master' [17:00] !unrar [17:00] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [17:00] idefixx: well it works now because i've put it back to godaddys dns server [17:00] Rou: I'm not sure... wait a moment please :-) [17:01] I want to install ubuntu through wubi and the wubi.exe fails to start. Is there a workaround this ? [17:01] gerrin, install the unrar package from the repo [17:01] I have Belkin wireless card. It is not detecting. How to? [17:01] IpwnSlaves: are you relaying mail upstream to your isp's mail server, or sending directly from your (home?) server to destination? [17:01] Kuehlschrank : ok .. i'll wait for u [17:01] ty [17:01] kitari, try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg", and then restart X [17:02] IpwnSlaves: doesn't matter you can just query what ever server you want. ie 'dig @127.0.0.1 google.com' will query your server [17:02] IpwnSlaves: try that with your own domain and see if your bind resolves it at all [17:02] IpwnSlaves: assuming you're loged into that server of course [17:03] Rou: It depends on whether your clients are using terminal-sessions to connect or whether they are trying to connect remotely [17:04] idefixx: IpwnSlaves: yes and also dig @208.67.222.222 yoursite.com to see how the world see's you from opendns [17:04] regeya: thanks that works just fine [17:04] glebihan, how do I restart X? [17:04] Kuehlschrank : previous its a routers@ubuntu [17:04] kitari: are you under gnome or kde ? [17:04] Kuehlschrank : suddenly its changed [17:05] Kuehlschrank : its changed when im trying to bind9 [17:05] ubuntu [17:05] kitari: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [17:06] sacarlson: thats why I told him to query his own server... it might just not have propagated. [17:06] i would suggest next time someone asks about a forgotten password, that you send them to #freenode instead of saying "email freenode" [17:07] idefixx: well as long as he told godaddy that he's the dns it shouldn't take long. unless he failed to do that. [17:07] Rou: So your clients connect over ssh routers@ubuntu [17:07] Kuehlschrank : but now its shows routers@bdc-svr .. hows that happen ? [17:07] sacarlson: though propagation cant be it - if it didn't work... which means it should be his end. well xD [17:08] idefixx: well the dig will tell him where the dns severver was. if not him then he must fix it. [17:09] sacarlson: i'm thinking test directly to his server from outside to see if isp is even allowing the traffic before fighting with it too much more. [17:09] sorry I'm back but the reseting of did nothing [17:09] sacarlson: bypass propagation issues, etc. [17:10] reseting of X* [17:10] Rou: What exactly did you do? (ssh to your machine, change logon shell,...) [17:11] the process says is @ 100 but the net is low and the progries 2 [17:11] bobstro: ya that would have been my next step... my money is on his bind setup though... not network trouble [17:11] my pc is kinnda slow [17:11] bobstro: good point lpwns [17:11] the cpu is at 100% usage [17:11] but is weirdo cuz the process says is @ 100 but the net is low and the progries 2 [17:11] idefixx: i always start there. no sense head-banging if that doesn't work! [17:11] Kuehlschrank : im in my machine ..im just try to bind9 .. thats all [17:11] do any media player plugins support DOM events in Ubuntu ? [17:12] my ubuntu is runnig slow but is weirdo cuz the process says is @ 100 but the net is low and the progries 2 [17:12] idefixx, sacarlson, IpwnSlaves: keep in mind, if the root problem is his email getting caught as spam, all this may be for naught anyhow. [17:12] looks like a flaw [17:12] can someone help meh [17:12] can someone help meh [17:12] Kuehlschrank : i didnt do anything beside that [17:12] idefixx, sacarlson, IpwnSlaves: if spam filters don't like dns from godaddy, surely same filters won't like dns from a dynamic or isp rnage! [17:12] bobstro: if his bind doesn't resolve his domain at all he can just give it a try from the local machine, if and when it works there then I would move on to network check [17:13] my vid card wasnt working so i re-seated it and now i get bios beeps, i tried re-searting the ram and stuff too but i still get the beeps! what should i do? [17:13] idefixx: yes, but his mail will still get flagged as spam in the end. [17:13] bobstro, is godday a spam authoeir? [17:13] idefixx: so fun from bithead perspective perhaps. :) [17:13] is godaddy bad [17:13] rapage: what does top/htop say is consuming so much? [17:13] what does what [17:14] is there a CD (notDVD) iso torrent for lucid 10.04? [17:14] rapage: apparently, per IpwnSlaves, his mails are flagged as suspicious using their dns. i've seen similar. === Technovi1ing is now known as technoviking [17:14] rapage: top, in terminal [17:14] what aeon-ltd [17:14] ksbalaji i use a dl manager to download it :) its faster then the torrents [17:14] u mean da systgem monitor [17:15] bobstro: oops my bad I just lastloged him.. didn't catch the mail part at all [17:15] rapage: bobstro: I use godaddy.com and I have no problem with spam filters [17:15] u mean da systgem monitor? [17:15] sacarlson: do you send smtp out directly, or via upstream smarthost @ isp? [17:15] rapage: at one time I did use there dns server without problem but now I use something else to be dynamic and not use them as a host [17:15] sacarlson: i mostly see source ip as the trip for spam filters. [17:16] would some plz pm me if he can set up pptp for me? [17:16] rapage: yeah [17:16] tommygun1231: you did unplug the pc from the wall power befor doing all this? [17:16] this mehtod of help doesn't work [17:16] is this just an open chat for all users to talk in and assist one another ? [17:16] too many spam lines, we need pm [17:16] IpwnSlaves: say, exactly how many of your messages were getting flagged and by who? [17:16] Wernis, Nice to hear that. is it cd dl? -4gb is too much for me now. [17:16] Dr_Willis, no it was plugged in, but it wasnt on [17:16] does ipv6 support tcp protocol or just only udp protocol? [17:16] bobstro: well that will fix it then if they are a spammer and they use dynamic ip then they will still get in [17:17] IpwnSlaves: if someone is using overly-fascist spam filters, there may be nothing you can do. [17:17] Can someone kind man can tell me why I cant use do-release-upgrade commenad ? [17:17] tommygun1231: in the future always unplug it from the wall... that may or may not cause damages.. but its safest [17:17] I'm stuck on server 403 all day ): [17:17] would some plz pm me if he can set up pptp or openvpn for me? [17:17] !irc > Wernis [17:17] Wernis, please see my private message [17:17] sacarlson: ? i'm just wondering what is actually flagging his messages. [17:17] !Guidelines > wereHamster [17:17] wereHamster, please see my private message [17:17] !Guidelines > Wernis [17:17] ksbalaji, i did a 686 MB dl ? [17:17] Dr_Willis, im not sure what to do, get some grease and re-seat the cpu maybe? [17:18] cannot connect to an access point using WEP? ...but I can via WPA? [17:18] tommygun1231: you can try. but it could be most anything. Check the MB makers manuals/2eb site to see what the beep codes mean [17:18] abhijit: thanks. [17:18] sacarlson: i had business customers who were paying big bucks for commercial service, yet still got flagged as spam by AT&T. lots of work to get off their black list. [17:18] wereHamster, sorry [17:18] ksbalaji, i got it from the linux server hosted here in my country :) [17:18] abhijit: tab completion, I know ;) [17:18] wereHamster, yah [17:18] Wernis, Problem is, I use a livecd to download. Meaning, everytime I boot, I start afresh. So, only torrent file probably works! [17:19] Dr_Willis, it was in storage for 8 months recently, could that have cause a problem? [17:19] What's the best way to change the login screen for 10.04? [17:19] tommygun1231: perhaps. but not real likely. Unless mice/water/got banged around a lot [17:19] Rou: Unfortunately I don't know what bind9 _exactly_ does [17:19] Wernis, which place? within? Mine is about 200kbps fast downloadable only. [17:20] cannot connect to an access point using WEP? ...but I can via WPA? ...why? [17:20] bobstro: ya kinda depends on your hoster, some blacklists are just to huge [17:20] mouse: depends on what you want to change. changeing the wallpaper, and theme/colors/fonts is easy. but its not as themable as the old GDM *at this time* [17:20] area51pilot, check dmesg? [17:20] ksbalaji, well if you get a download manager then it will continue where you last left off ? :) haha for me 30 Kb is fast :D sorry, i am in za but my friend was doing 350 ? [17:20] area51pilot: you mean you're having a problem, or wondering why they do it that way? [17:20] brett\ ?? [17:20] would someone plz help me setting up open vpn, i'll give the shell login to him [17:21] I am having connectivity issues using WEP [17:21] !vpn [17:21] For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [17:21] area51pilot, you didnt offer much information. was there an error or anything? type 'dmesg' at console and see if it prints anything relevant.. or check some of the logs in /var/log [17:21] I put my main Ubuntu 10.4 pc into hibernate, and it didn't wake up properly, so I reboot it, and now it can't see any network adapters in the system :( any ideas? [17:21] Wernis, I feel dl managers will die once a live cd is switched off. [17:22] Alborz: ssh won't suffice? lots easier to set up. [17:22] it attempts to connect via NM to a WEP enabled access point. It attempts to logon but does not, it returns to the passphrase prompt... [17:22] area51pilot: didn't you say WPA works? You realize that WPA is a LOT better, right? [17:22] Dr_Willis, Any suggestions on where to start? [17:22] Benoms, does lspci see them? or ifconfig? might just need to ifup interface [17:22] ksbalaji, oh sorry, yes is see what you are saying, i do not know how to help there. [sad face] [17:22] mouse: it depends on what you want to change. thers tools out there to change teh wallpaper.. thats all i nomally change. [17:22] area51pilot, and youve tried it with a different device using the same password? [17:22] ifconfig only shows a loopback thing, and i can pick loopback fine [17:23] idefixx: yes but this paticular clients office uses WEP for access ... thats all [17:23] Benoms, yes you dont care about loopback, try the above that i said [17:23] Dr_Willis, I'd like to change the wallpaper and theme colors off the top of my head. [17:23] I can connect to the WEP device in Win7, but not U 10.10 [17:23] brett\: thanks, i'll look up the ifup command [17:23] Benoms, lspci | grep -i ethernet [17:23] mouse: check out a tool called 'gdm2setup' it lets you easially change wallpaper. Or just find the wallpaper its using and edit it. [17:23] !10.10 | area51pilot [17:23] area51pilot: 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 [17:23] I wish they would use WPA [17:24] Benoms, does that hit? [17:24] Dr_Willis, Thank you. [17:24] why it is that when returning from clt alt f1 session to my this sessiont 50% of the time f7 works and another 50% time f8 works? why not a same key for a single operation? [17:24] area51pilot, just show them one of the videos of WEP getting hacked in < 30 seconds [17:24] i type it exactly like that? [17:24] Wernis, np bye. I shall try your suggestion. [17:24] Benoms, yes. [17:25] I use wine to play games i used to on Windows. But when i run Warcraft 3 [the .exe with wine] my screen goes to a funny resolution but the game runs well, only problem is when i Quit the game me screen res for my pc now is that same old crappy one as it was when i was playing and it didn't revert to the original [1920x1080] can anyone please help? [17:25] that showed the adapters :) [17:25] I'm having problems with my cpu fan - it's running way too fast under idle load. (comparing to W7) I think it might be due to lack of frequency scaling(?) Intel i7 cpu, Asus P6T v2 motherboard [17:25] Benoms, ok.. so your system is aware of them its just not configured properly. try 'sudo ifup eth0' [17:25] here's an output of my sensors http://pastebin.com/pQb9qAP5 [17:25] mouse: you can also copy the gnome-appearance-properties.desktop file to --> /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow and it will launch the gnome 'theme' settings tool when you start up GDM. you can tweak it how you like. then remove that file. :) thats a bit of a hack. but it works [17:25] Benoms, if youre using wired enet, i should say [17:26] Wernis: use one of the many 'xrandr' tools to set the res back to what you want - is one way. xrandr, or some of the gui front ends to xrandr [17:26] yes i'm using wired. that gave 'Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0 [17:27] Benoms, hmm.. dmesg | grep eth0 [17:27] Dr_Willis i have no idea how to just "use" xrandr, sorry i am new, is this in terminal or an actual app? [17:27] Benoms, did that hit? [17:28] Rou: Good luck anyway [17:28] brett: that gave me a mac address output by the looks of it [17:28] welcome to my club wernis haha [17:28] Wernis: it has gui front ends.. or use it from a terminal. or run the system 'monitors' tool and select a differnt res [17:28] Benoms, ok.. but it looks like the system is mapping eth0 to some actual hardware w/ MAC? so thats good [17:28] Dr_Willis, Does gdm2setup go by another name? [17:28] brett: thanks so much for this :) [17:29] gnome-randr-applet - Simple gnome-panel front end to the xrandr extension [17:29] grandr - gtk interface to xrandr [17:29] mouse: its not in the repos.. you have to find its ppa, or homepage. [17:29] Dr_Willis: I thought gdm changes where not coming in until gnome3 ? [17:29] Dr_Willis, oh k i see :) haha never occured to me that "change Res" would help. [17:29] Benoms, try maybe 'sudo ifdown eth0' followed by 'sudo ifup eth0'.. if that doesnt work, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart --- followed by sudo ifup eth0 [17:29] Dr_Willis, I see. [17:29] ikonia: you can tweak gdm2 a little bit via the theme settings. (i make the fonts bigger, and select a theme that matches the wallpaper i set) [17:30] Dr_Willis: yeah, but not really change the whole thing any more [17:30] ikonia: you could even set it to use a animated wallpaper if you wanted like that xearth :) [17:30] Dr_Willis: ooh, really, I didn't know that, I must talk to you about that sometime [17:30] ikonia: yep. Not gdm themes.. but the 'gnome theme' gdm uses you can change [17:30] i followed this http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=132029 somebody plz help [17:30] :) [17:30] has anyone ever has a problem with ubuntu netbook edition reporting a critically low battery when the battery is charged? [17:30] Is there a way to have a script automatically run when a monitor is added or removed? [17:30] ikonia: you can copy the gnome-appearance-properties.desktop file to --> /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow and it will launch the gnome 'theme' settings tool when you start up GDM. you can tweak it how you like. then remove that file. :) thats a bit of a hack. but it works [17:31] brett: ifdown didn't work, reconfiguring said it was OK but ifup still doesn't work :( [17:31] Dr_Willis: very interesting, thank you [17:31] ikonia: there used to be other ways to do that.. but they seem to be quirky. :) this way the config tool gets ran when gdm starts up. You could even make gdm do somthing trickier i guess. [17:32] too bad they dont have a menu item on the gdm screen to run the tool, and other 'settings' for gdm. I recall them having that years ago [17:32] Dr_Willis: that was a long time ago [17:32] ikonia: Im old.. :) [17:32] is anyone here fimiliar with the software side of the osi model because i has a question about the session layer that is just bugging me [17:33] hm actually it seems cpu freq scaling is working perfectly. however, I've still have the problem of my cpu fan making a hell of a noise, unnecessarily [17:33] Benoms, sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces . if these lines aren't there already, add them one under the other at the bottom: 'auto eth0' 'iface eth0 inet dhcp' .. then do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart then sudo ifup eth0 [17:33] any ideas how i can control it? [17:33] savid: you might see something change in /var/log when a monitor plugs in. if you grep the log at intervals and see the change in monitor that could be set to run a script branch. [17:33] brett: they aren't there :) adding them now.. [17:34] How can i make wine [when i run an .exe file] use opengl? [17:35] hi everyone!!! [17:35] I think that depends on the application, Wernis [17:35] Wernis: what program? for WoW - its a WoW specific setting/option. [17:35] Wernis, good question ...you probably should as in #winehq though :) [17:36] Dr_Willis i know in wow you can edit the .config file, but i want to do it in Warcraft 3 ? [17:36] Wernis: i would check the Wine web site/app database to see what tips they give. [17:36] brett: ooOOoo well that mapped my network shares and doing the ifup gives the output - ifup: interface eth0 already configured :) maybe i just need to restart now? [17:36] coz_ oh sorry i din't know there was one :$ [17:36] !appdb [17:36] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [17:36] Wernis: if your trying to play a video game make a shortcut to it on your desktop and add -opengl to the end of the command [17:37] Wernis: assuming the program supports opengl.. it may or may not. [17:37] Benoms, no restart should be necessary... whats not working now if network shares are up? [17:37] Wernis, there is :) but someone here ...apparenlty knows as well :) [17:37] "(initramfs) aufs mount failed" seems familar to anyone ? [17:37] the adapter isn't showing under network connections in gnome and the status on the top panel still says 'network disabled' [17:38] brett\: you told him to "auto eth0" that makes it go up automatically ... which is why ifup gave him that info ;) === ryaxnbuntu is now known as ryaxnb [17:38] i unable to give command apt-get [17:38] idefixx, redundancy ;) .. either way it should still be working on a DHCP network [17:38] its giving me administrator erroe [17:38] Benoms, 'ping 173.194.32.104' [17:39] harsh: what is the exact command you are using? [17:39] harsh: you need to use sudo with apt-get. E.g: sudo apt-get update [17:39] brett: successfully pinging [17:39] Benoms, you internet is working. maybe your DNS is busted. try 'ping google.ca' [17:39] i think i just have to re-ad the adapter using the mac address maybe [17:39] no. [17:39] brett: that has resolved fine and is pinging [17:39] I am using apt-get install postgresql [17:39] Benoms, your internet is fine. gnome is stupid === cookie is now known as cookiemad [17:39] harsh: sudo apt-get ? [17:40] harsh: prefix the command with sudo and it will work [17:40] harsh, sudo apt-get install postgresql [17:40] so reboot? [17:40] Benoms, try a reboot now if you like.. maybe the scripts will figure it out then [17:40] brett: ok will do. ill let you know how it goes [17:40] Benoms, =) [17:40] brett\: wasn't criticism... just info :P [17:40] idefixx, np ;) [17:40] Hurray!!!!!!! It worked!!!! [17:41] thanks friends!!!!! [17:41] harsh, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL [17:41] is ubuntu known to have any problems with recognizing battery life? [17:41] sculptured, nope.. might be a shitty old battery [17:41] sacarlson, yeah, I was hoping there'd be some kind of dbus signal I could tap into without having to run something at an interval :-P [17:42] thanks abhijit [17:42] savid: ya hope you find better than my idea [17:42] brett\: no, this laptops 2 weeks old. ubuntu just reported a 'critically low' battery, and forced itself into hibernate then i plugged it in and it started charging from 76% [17:42] sculptured: battery broken? try with another OS (if possible) [17:43] sculptured, ahh.. got me then thats very funny behaviour. it still could be defective? i would try with another OS [17:43] ^^ [17:43] sculptured: its can have issues depending on the laptop. [17:43] brett: weird as, reboot didn't fix it :o [17:43] is there something wrong if my linux is a bit slow with things when my pc is quite a boss, spec wise ? i have to wait for windows to open sometimes and a wait could be from 2 - 5 seconds ? is this normal ? [17:43] Benoms, didnt fix what? can you still ping google.ca? [17:43] brett: no adapters showing in gnome [17:43] brett\: it's worked fine under ubuntu for a week, and works fine under windows. possible it was a one time fluke? if it happens again i'll bring it back to this chat [17:43] sacarlson, hmm, I may have found something in dbus... org.gnome.DisplayManager has a DisplayAdded/DisplayRemoved signal... [17:43] brett: sorry, yes can still ping and neetwork drifves mappee [17:44] savid: I'm sure you can edit the source in the xserver that runs your script [17:44] Wernis: Yes, Ubuntu can take a few more seconds to load windows, ive got the same laptop (spec wise) and even i have to wait [17:44] Wernis: and your video card is what? and you did install any special drivers it may need? [17:44] Benoms, hmm well, its a bit strange but i wouldnt worry too much about it. your inet/network is up and working. maybe package updates will fix your bug? [17:44] savid: cool === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [17:45] brett: ok, thanks so much for your help mate. really appreciate it! i can probably just add the adapter manually now to gnome. [17:45] using scp. I'm dong scp username@remote.server:/path/to/file . and it just says stdin is not a tty [17:45] Dr_Willis, my Graphics card is an ATI HD 5850, i should be having NOOOO problems should i ?:) [17:45] trollboy: try giveing it the full path instead of the . shortcut [17:45] Benoms, not a prob. remember pretty much anything you see GUI is a front end to commands youll run on the shell.. you shouldnt have to 'add' the adapter to gnome because it exists already as eth0.. unless it needs to be 'added to monitor'.. though it still sounds like a bug to me [17:45] noone has any info on cpu fan control? [17:45] Wernis: the terms 'ati' and 'no problems' should never be used together... [17:45] :( [17:46] trollboy: no spaces in filename or path, right? [17:46] Dr_Willis, same thing [17:46] once again, is it possible that my battery error was a one time fluke? [17:46] correct bobstro === Kitari is now known as KItari_Lou [17:47] brett: ok then just 1 last question. what is the command to do package updates? [17:47] Benoms: sudo apt-get update [17:47] Benoms, 'sudo apt-get update' to update your list.. followed by 'sudo apt-get upgrade' [17:47] My box is currently set to only allow connections via ssh from a certain IP, which ssh file should I edit to remove this feature - or add another ip? I have RSA keys as well but I don't know which files it is I need to store on the other computer that I wish to enable [17:47] Thanks :) [17:47] ;) [17:48] Dr_Willis, That is 100% true :P that is such a laugh :) so let me rephrase, i paid R3500 rand for a graphics card, the price tells me it should be capable of not having problems, if it were an ATI card, what would the solution be :P [17:48] Zolomon, /etc/hosts.allow ? /etc/hosts.deny ? [17:48] Dr_Willis, bobstro any other thoughts? [17:48] The price tells you how expensive the card is, not whether or not it will be problem-free. [17:48] Zolomon, unless its blocked with iptables firewall rules.. then youll have to analyze your chains [17:48] trollboy: [17:48] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=896981 [17:48] Wernis: you did use the 'hardware drivers' item in the System menu. to install any needed extra drivers? that can have a big speed differance. [17:48] brett\: thanks! [17:49] np [17:49] trollboy: read the linked page as well [17:49] Zolomon: maybe /etc/ssh/sshd_config [17:49] trollboy: may not be exact problem, but hopefully a hint [17:50] brett: far out.. I just decided to right click the network notifications thing and there was an option 'enable networking' hehe. wouldn't have worked before all of your help though. looks like all is running again. Thanks heaps :) [17:50] Hi, how can I view how long I can use my battery on Ubuntu? [17:50] Benoms, lol! right on.. not a prob [17:50] Dr_Willis i did and WOW runs perfectly full graphics and everything... but some times... tut tut tut, my pc fails me [17:51] latagore: click on the battery icon, it will tell you in a button [17:51] Wernis: hard to tell - try disabling compiz. see if that is the cause of the laggness [17:51] latagore: it will also tell you ho long till charged, if plugged in [17:51] cookiemad: I don't have a battery icon; I've tried command line as well; but nothing [17:51] bye all... [17:51] I'm trying to install ubuntu and I keep getting a X server error it says my X server was not configured correctly and it just gets stopped at a command line screen how can I fix my X server problem?

[17:53] latagore: ive never had that before, sorry, dont know [17:53] cookiemad: Thanks. Do you know if batteries need drivers? [17:54] Ubuntu freezes completely when i run a virtual box, what to do? [17:54] latagore: they dont, its just the software that you need to display battery status [17:54] trojan_spike, did you try to restart nautilus I believe the command is natuilus -q [17:54] Jirachii, how sure are you its 'completely'? ping your box from another workstation or try to ssh in [17:54] latagore: btw, your desktop environment is gnome [17:55] cookiemad: I would believe so [17:55] cookiemad: Oops, you were telling me. :o [17:55] hello [17:55] cookiemad: Thanks [17:55] latagore: np :) [17:55] Brett, my whole ubuntu workstation freezes when booting windows in a virtual box. [17:56] Jirachii, you ignored what i just said [17:56] Jirachii: maybe not enuf mem? [17:56] Jirachii: what cpu? [17:56] How can I display the amount of energy in my battery? [17:56] Amd x64 [17:57] 1600 mb mem for virtualbox, 4000for whole pc [17:57] any1 had?? ya know when u right click to open with VLC.. its stuck like that when i open an external from .. I think need the command to open nautilus from terminal.. because it wont open from drop down.. [17:57] quick question about NTP. Do I need to install 'ntp' or 'ntpclient' to have a local daemon that keeps things in sync automatically? Is the 'server' an actual time server that people would use to sync with or just a daemonized process that keeps that particular computer in sync [17:57] I'm impressed--already upgraded to 10.10, and it seems pretty dang solid. [17:57] I'm trying to get a cron.d task to work, but it appears that it's just not working at all. I'm sure it's something stupid, but I can't figure out why, can anyone help? http://pastebin.com/ZWqTT62K [17:58] Jirachii: what windows version? [17:58] Jirachii: well my ubuntu uses about 900meg mem and don't even run much. what does top say you use? [17:58] unimportant [17:59] G [17:59] FloodBot1: G [18:00] CharlieSu: ntp provides an actual server. if you want a local authoritative time source, that's what you want. [18:00] CharlieSu: it, in turn, can query higher-level time sources. === Smoodo is now known as Smoodo|Out_to_lu [18:00] bobstro: does it do the latter out of the box? [18:00] CharlieSu: or be configured to use a local time source (e.g. gps) [18:00] hello [18:00] hi [18:01] CharlieSu: generally, yes, with configuration. the client uses an ubuntu source, which may be perfectly adequate. [18:01] can i join that channel here without answer the question? [18:01] has anyone got gnome-shell installed on lucid at the moment? [18:01] bobstro: thanks.. looks good..

Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [18:02] slow-motion: you need to identify yourself to nickserv, see #freenode for more details [18:02] CharlieSu: a buddy paid $1,200 for a little box that essentially runs ntpd. :) [18:02] slow-motion, yes [18:02] whats a good network tool to list IP devices on local net? [18:02] has anyone got gnome-shell installed on lucid at the moment? [18:03] CharlieSu: if you want them continuously synced, you may want the daemon on each box. otherwise, you can run the client from a cron job or similar. it's fairly straightforward. [18:03] area51pilot: zenmap [18:04] I have a 2 versions of the same document. Is there is piece of software which will distinguish the diffrence between them? [18:04] erUSUL: How do I run zenmap gui as root? [18:04] area51pilot: alt + f2 --> gksudo zenmap [18:04] DDAZZA: what sort of document? the creating app might do it.

Someting like ticketit .. maybe [18:04] bobbytek2, source code for programs [18:05] thx erUSUL [18:05] area51pilot: maybe sudo arp [18:05] DDAZZA: you probably want diff then -- just text files, right? [18:05] DDAZZA: a lot of the IDEs will do that too [18:05] bobstro, yes [18:05] bobstro, do you know of a plugin for geany? [18:05] DDAZZA: then use diff or a gui ( meld is nice ) [18:06] DDAZZA: i'd be surprised if some of the plugins don't do that, but can't say for sure. [18:06] wb slow-motion [18:07] hm [18:07] can I use Zenmap to find devices with IP addresses?

[18:10] sacarlson: so arp wont list it [18:10] when i install wine, it also installs the windows fonts. firefox (and potentially other apps) are now using these fonts. is there a simple way to disable them for things outside of wine? [18:10] brett\ yes in Windows [18:10] area51pilot, tracert google.ca -- your first hop is your access point ip [18:10] area51pilot: I'm not sure if it won't most broadcast something every X min. but you could also scan for ip maybe with nmap [18:11] Travis-42: how is it failing?

[18:12] ipconfig from W7 client :) [18:12] area51pilot, ok np [18:12] Travis-42: just keep in mind that cron jobs won't have your shell environment.

[18:12] I can't view my battery on Ubuntu === heather is now known as Guest36414 [18:12] brett\: quite a few are transparent bridges. they don't route at all. [18:13] hello === Guest36414 is now known as MeoRu [18:13] area51pilot: if it won't ping maybe try scan with arping your access point. if all else fails do a full factory reset that you know what the ip will be [18:13] bobstro: no, no error emails or anything in my logs at all. maybe it's the environment that I need to fix -- thanks. [18:13] bobstro, ah.. might be right. though id say 'quite a few' is a bit of a stretch. [18:13] i need to create a group on ubuntu server that can access one specific directory. can someone tell me how to do this? [18:13] brett\: well, you don't want every one acting as a router in a large deployment!

[18:14] Dravekx: make a group, add the users to the group, [18:14] sacarlson: im holding off on the reset just because we have a dlink with the same ip address that the linksys defaults to [18:14] brett\: i just fought with a bufffalo ap that bridged is why it's fresh in mind. [18:14] area51pilot: Try 192.168.0.1 for routers ip [18:14] bobstro, ah [18:14] kesroesweyth, proftpd. i want to lock them to that directory.

I took the antena off and used ethernet wire to set it up [18:15] also google scponly, thats what i used to set this up for my employer [18:16] abhijit: I'm not looking for how long my battery will last in total; just how many hourse [18:16] Dravekx: if it is for something like a system daemon you may want to do « sudo addgroup --system name_of_group » see man pages [18:16] abhijit: Never mind, gotta go anyways, thanks [18:16] latagore, bye [18:16] scponly includes a very simple script you can run to create new users and jail them to any directory you want [18:16] hello robotman1881 === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [18:17] howdy [18:17] evenin' all [18:17] sacarlson: yeah .. might do that anyway since I cant remember the password now [18:17] Dravekx: what distro are you using?

Not sure [19:12] what does ~/. mean? [19:12] <_BLAZE_> it's ok in gnome, but when I open an application such as pidgin or firefox it has the behavior.

[19:23] Zyklon: take 2 minutes, collect your thoughts, and write a coherent question with details on a single line, providing relevant details in a pastebin please [19:23] ShredMaster, what kind of torrents ? [19:23] jrib: nice [19:23] jrib: I did that now [19:23] jrib: add it as the factoid !chill ;) [19:23] that's the main problem for all the problems actually [19:23] Zyklon: why dont you explain what you are trying to do, but can't ? rather than trying to discuss the solution to a problem you havent discussed [19:24] ok [19:24] ActionParsnip: It's great. Just having to get past my options paralysis. :) [19:24] linxeh:? need to get the webserver working, but since I cannot get a su lock it dosen't seems to wanna work [19:24] mdpatrick: indeed, windows only has few options. Linux gives a lot of leeway [19:24] blueskaj: my friend(in windows) he types the file he wants and he gets lists of those files. He is using torrent. So, he doesn't have to download .torrent files. [19:24] Zyklon: you're not going to get help like this. My advice is so that you can get help [19:24] Zyklon: ok what will the su lock, do? [19:24] Zyklon: why are you using su anyway? [19:25] how can i declare variables in ubuntu? [19:25] zeppelin101: in what context? [19:25] i think scripting [19:25] zeppelin101: if its bash you can use export [19:25] i'm just reading about it [19:25] zeppelin101: reading about what? [19:25] ActionParsnip: let me install server properly and other things like gnome and such to work 100% without it dosen't seem to wanna run properly:/ [19:25] i see something like 'var 3 = something' [19:25] i tried entering that and it didn't work at all (cmd not found) [19:25] Zyklon: why are you using su? use sudo [19:25] zeppelin101: #bash can point you to good tutorials on bash scripting [19:25] linxeh: cause we tried sudo with no more luck [19:25] ok, but this is extremely basic.. [19:26] Zyklon: why install gnome on server, why not just install the desktop system? [19:26] it's supposed to be generic to *nix i think [19:26] zeppelin101: #bash does basic and advanced [19:26] ActionParsnip: ok I'm open to any suggestions to get it to work [19:26] aha [19:26] Zyklon: what error do you get when you type sudo -i ? [19:26] zeppelin101: check out this page - http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/variables.html [19:26] thanks [19:26] ActionsParsnip: right now I can't do anything but ssh into it with root user [19:26] zeppelin101: e.g. export APPS=/usr/bin; cp program $APPS [19:26] linxeh: ok sec I'll check [19:26] Zyklon: why on earth do you ssh as root ? [19:26] you shouldnt have a root password [19:26] Hi, trying to open http://www.azulsystems.com/events/javaone_2008/2008_CodingNonBlock.pdf with evince - it crashes. Is this reproducible for someone else? (ubuntu 10.04, evince 2.30.3; xpdf opens it) [19:26] Zyklon: ubuntu doesn't have root [19:26] exactly the kind of thing i was looking for, ty [19:27] I run as root allk the time [19:27] zeppelin101: very powerful [19:27] linxeh: nothing happens when I type that [19:27] rootkit is my friend [19:27] rapage: its really unsecure [19:27] Zyklon: well clearly something did happen... [19:27] ok [19:27] linxeh: root@ks33885:~# sudo -i [19:27] is it like running windows as admin? [19:27] ShredMaster, ok your driend is using a torrent client that cotains a browser which he then links to from adrop down list of torrent sites within the the torrent client , most torrent clients in linux don't have built in browsers , you download to the torrent client from FF or another browser which then activates your torrent client [19:27] everyone seems to do that [19:27] Zyklon: but if you are root, it will just return you to the shell prompt [19:27] ok [19:27] it did [19:28] Zyklon: you should not have a password on your root account. why do you have one ? [19:28] rapage: no everyone else is smart and uses sudo [19:28] in case anyone is interested, the problem was including spaces in variable assignment. so 'var1=5' works but 'var1 = 5' does not.. [19:28] not sure actually been up all night trying to get the web server to work and a guy tried to help but he said he couldn't either because couldn't get lock on dirs [19:28] ShredMaster, 'scuse the spelling mistakes [19:29] BluesKaj: ok, no matter [19:29] Zyklon: lock on dirs? eh? [19:29] linxeh: so I'm pretty tired === yong is now known as ysong [19:29] linxeh: yeah I get some kind of error using apt-get and such [19:29] Zyklon: get the server reinstalled, and this time dont b0rk it with setting a root password [19:29] unable to lock down directory and such [19:29] Zyklon: if you need a desktop ui then install the desktop iso [19:29] what error do you get with apt-get ? [19:29] ActionParsnip: ok I doubt it work but how do I do that [19:30] linxeh: sec have to get it again then I will pastebin it [19:30] ActionParsnip: what's the cmd for trying installing it? [19:30] Zyklon: download the iso, md5 test it, burn it slowly then boot to the cd, check its consistancy and then install from it [19:30] Zyklon: he meant install the desktop cd rather than the server. you can install all the server packages on the desktop version if you need them === uRock is now known as uncontrolable [19:30] ActionParsnip: it's a dedicated server [19:31] Zyklon: then why are you installing a gui on the server ? [19:31] geany snippets rocks [19:31] cause it would be good to have the gui also [19:31] (ie a desktop) [19:31] omg [19:31] ShredMaster, in other words you navigate to a torrent site with your browser , choose the torrent you want to DL and a dialogbox will pop up asking you which torrent client you want to use be it transmission or deluge etc [19:31] I had using nx client but the authentication fails for some reason [19:31] now [19:31] :/ [19:31] Zyklon: well, anyway, what did apt-get say ? [19:31] BluesKaj: ok, no matte [19:31] sec [19:31] Zyklon: ssh is the way to manage a server [19:31] well yeah, you should not connect as root... [19:31] BluesKaj: thanks [19:31] is der like a manual scan of the whole surface of a disk [19:32] not like fsck that only check links [19:32] iceroot: I know but I had 2 guys helping me and they gey up even they had the user and pass [19:33] is der like a manual scan of the whole surface of a disk not like fsck that only does link check [19:33] i have a zipdisk that ubuntu says is fine but windows says it can't write to it [19:33] i wanna know who'ss telling me teh true [19:34] i have a zipdisk that ubuntu says is fine but windows says it can't write to it [19:35] BluesKaj: will downloads be paused in deluge if I disconnet???? [19:35] I'm trying to fdisk a drive and when a try to write the changes I get 'Device or resource busy' the drive isn't mounted anywhere. it was part of a software raid array at one point.. but I failed it [19:36] <{n8}> whats everyones recommend lightweight text editors... [19:36] <{n8}> i really like vim atm [19:36] <{n8}> but was wondering what else was good [19:37] why is vim fast [19:37] or vi [19:37] andre_pl, what about the contents of /proc/mounts? [19:37] <{n8}> i just like vim cause its the shiz basically [19:37] <{n8}> lol all the features [19:37] <{n8}> its amazing === Greyscale is now known as Greysc[a]le [19:37] <{n8}> but are there any other nice ones? [19:38] rapage: sudo badblocks /dev/sda1 Physically scan hard disk for bad blocks [19:38] {n8}, vim/emacs are the two best basically [19:38] brett\: its not listed there either. only the /dev/mapper entry for the raid array. [19:38] geany? [19:38] How do I change the default cpu scaling governor in 10.04? [19:38] greetins [19:38] brett\: something about either the raid, or the lvm on top myst still be holding on to that drive [19:38] but I dont know how to find it [19:39] andre_pl, mdadm --stop /dev/md0 ; mdadm --stop /dev/md1 [19:39] <{n8}> brett\: figured, thats the most popular, i just wanted to see if anyone mentioned some oddball one i hadnt heard of [19:39] andre_pl: You must `mdadm --zero-superblock` any MD device that you want to reuse. Otherwise, it can be automatically claimed at boot time. [19:39] {n8}, many on minimal distros use "nano" [19:40] dajhorn: that must be what happened,so I have to reboot? [19:40] <{n8}> yeah i have nano too actually [19:40] nano -> vim = huge upgrade [19:40] I just installed a brand new SSD drive :D I'd like to copy my / partition to it, and, of course, the MBR. Old / is at /dev/sda1, target is /dev/sdb1. will a simple dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 do this for me, or do i need a bit more console-fu? I'm booted off a live CD right now. [19:40] I can't seem to stop the raid array without somehow stopping LVM too I think. [19:40] <{n8}> i used nano at first, and then switched to vim [19:40] andre_pl: Yes. Be double-sure that you're not damaging either the MD array or the LVM volume group. [19:41] i was learning vim and it is so crazy. i wonder if people us all such techniques of vim [19:41] Alia: change 'simon' with http://gentoo-blog.de/ubuntu/ubuntu-karmic-change-cpu-frequency-as-user/ [19:41] {n8}, me too [19:41] andre_pl: Remember also that you need to do a `vgchange -a n` to reclaim parts of a volume group. [19:42] SilentDis, i did this before but just used 'cp' after mounting the new drive.. theres some flags you can set to keep al lthe same permissions, stamps etc. i think i had a separate boot partition still so i just tagged it bootable, and ya it was fine [19:42] dajhorn: i'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to get it stopped. [19:42] <{n8}> i like gvim and gedit, but i'd rather keep most stuff in the terminal for some reason [19:42] rapage: add -v [19:42] andre_pl: This is a good hint that it is still being used somewhere. [19:42] alright jose [19:43] dajhorn: would it be the lvm? i'm not sure how to stop it. [19:43] <{n8}> lol i just recently discovered the magic of screen... [19:43] andre_pl: Remember also that you need to do a `vgchange -a n` to reclaim parts of a volume group. [19:43] magic isn't reel [19:43] {n8}, brett\ , vim's good enough for me. I actually use it for the bash environ. too (set -o vi) helps with searching the history for commands. [19:43] I been looking online for a good AD using ldap and I can't find any that works with ubuntu can some out point me into a howto online that works? [19:43] minimec: I want to change the default scaling governor from performace to ondemand not change the freq manually [19:44] sjm, havent tried that yet actually.. what do you mean set -o vi? [19:44] dajhorn: thats giving me: Can't deactivate volume group "lvm-raid" with 1 open logical volume(s) [19:44] i want to know how to dectect Windows Viruses using UBUNTU [19:44] andre_pl: --> vgchange -a n VgXX [19:44] <{n8}> sjm: ive noticed some code have ":vim" commands in it, is that what your referring to? [19:44] Everytime i reboot it's set performance, I use the applet to change [19:44] brett\: whew, good thing I checked real quick. they were reversed lol. no matter. a dd will get the MBR as well, correct? [19:44] Alia: 'ondemand' is default, only the boot sequence is performance. [19:45] brett\: and, I'll have to retrieve the UUID for the new drive, of course, and update grub [19:45] SilentDis, id imagine so [19:45] ShredMaster: I've used a java based online virus scanner with good results [19:45] SilentDis, fuck UUIDs ;).. just go with the /dev device [19:45] andre_pl: the other advice that you got was correct. Do your mounts check, maybe pastebin anything that you don't understand. [19:45] not for me =( Like i said everytime i reboot i get performance and have to change it to ondemand my self [19:45] <{n8}> sjm: like for example I've saw a C file contain like 1 :vim command at the beginning or end [19:45] brett\, in a terminal window type that command "set -o vi". You will then have vi as your command editor. k gets you into the history to search the command history and you can edit the command lines just like vi in a file. [19:45] brett\: I prefer the uuid method. I have a couple external disks that I keep mounted in the same spot (backups and media) that a lot of stuff links to. good for consistancy [19:45] sjm, very cool, thanks ;) [19:46] hello ... what distro of linux should be used with older computers ? [19:46] jgcampbell300: how old? [19:46] !language | brett\ [19:46] brett\: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:46] linxeh: where did you go? [19:46] dajhorn: I dont understand what that means. what is VgXX? [19:46] oh get over it [19:46] ubottu: tell brett\ about CoC [19:46] brett\, please see my private message [19:46] jgcampbell300: ubuntu? [19:46] Hi.. I have an western digital external disk with GPT filesystem.. I'm only able to mount it read only.. anyone know how I can mount it rw?

[19:46] maybe [19:46] <{n8}> lol brett\ [19:46] jgcampbell300, I'd probably try one of "Lubuntu" or "PeppermintOS" [19:46] i am thinking ubuntu will be to tall for it [19:47] puppylinux? [19:47] ShredMaster: what exactly are you trying to check? [19:47] <{n8}> you just got tattled on [19:47] thank you [19:47] jgcampbell300: check out DSL (Damn Small Linux) or PuppyLinux. both very small, very useable distros :) [19:47] ubottu: tell h00k about humor [19:47] jgcampbell300: alternately, if you like ubuntu, check out xubuntu. it's 'lighter', but not sure if it's 'light' enough for that machine. [19:47] k .. basicly i just need a box to surf web on [19:47] <{n8}> i never even noticed any fowl language but oh well >.> [19:48] ya.. i wasnt in here flaming.

(If this sort of topic is consented here) [19:49] ShredMaster: Windows isn't a virus, per se, but it is Ubuntu's number 1 bug ;) [19:49] ShredMaster: what? are you trying to scan a windows install? [19:49] andre_pl: You need to follow instructions, or you need to do the reading yourself. [19:50] <{n8}> i read somewhere an early dev version of 10.10 was out...is this true? [19:50] ChogyDan: uff. let me clear it [19:50] <{n8}> Maverick something...

I would scan the whole windows install [19:52] thanks agian [19:52] ok thanks [19:53] ShredMaster: I used the kaspersky website [19:53] ShredMaster: ^^ exactly what IdleOne beat me to saying, download clamav or the sort and run a scan on your windows partition, it will quarantine any nasties and let you delete them [19:53] how to check the nvidia driver on terminal [19:53] yup Great! [19:53] {n8}: I caution everyone about this. Linux /= Windows. Latest and greatest isn't always better. If it works, stick with it.

Even a restart doesn't get rid of them. Here's an image of my desktop http://i54.tinypic.com/2qimpn9.png - They're on my 3rd desktop. They don't show close maximize or minimize buttons either Any help with this weird issue would be appreciated [20:12] sjm: so should I manually edit /etc/resolv.conf? [20:12] Anvoid: ahhh, the hardware end. it's been a long time since i looked into that aspect. ##hardware may be of more assistance :) [20:12] dromatic, sure, go ahead and put in the OpenDNS servers SilentDis gave you. [20:13] ok [20:13] dromatic, it might get reset, though, if the DHCP lease is renewed. [20:13] sjm: does he need to worry about resolvconf stepping on it? that drove me nuts. [20:13] make the dd command go faster! i want out of this LiveCD and into my new SSD drive! lol [20:14] SilentDis: you're running off an image of the cd? [20:14] SilentDis, lol yea but you gotta love how powerful dd is [20:14] SilentDis: why not installing directly? [20:14] bobstro: I just booted a LiveCD to copy my existing / to a SSD :) [20:14] Hi guys, I'm missing the create starter context menu suddenly , I'm trying to lock stuff up for this pc for some kind of kiosk mode ... what might have happened that removed this menu entry ? Any specific gconf entry ? Some setting/ user right i missed ? thx [20:15] SilentDis: oh. partitions same size etc.? [20:15] im registered on freenode but still can see my ip how to hide it? [20:15] bobstro: a 20GiB / (/home is elsewhere) to a 50GiB partition on the SSD [20:15] Katsumi32, why do you care lol [20:15] SilentDis: i can see that taking a while, copying empty stuff too! [20:16] bobstro, not sure, haven't run into the problem myself and have just gotten used to editing the file manually and using /etc/network/interfaces rather than networkmanager. [20:16] cuz of bad people [20:16] i dont want others to see my ip [20:16] bobstro: yeah, but i want the MBR over there too. figured dd would do that for me [20:16] * ViN86 writes down Katsumi32 's IP [20:16] how to hide it? [20:16] Katsumi32, go to #freenode and ask for a "cloak" [20:16] * SilentDis zenmaps Katsumi32 [20:16] SilentDis, lol [20:16] sjm: i finally realized resolvconf was eating my /etc/resolv.conf edits. easy enough to fix, but i didn't realize they'd changed things on me again. [20:17] Katsumi32, yea sjm is correct [20:18] * SilentDis finds an HP/UX box at Katsumi32's IP. runs away screaming. [20:18] bobstro, you can always set the inmutable bit on the file. Maybe then resolvconf won't bother you. :) [20:18] I have window borders that are 'rolled up' that wont go away! After a restart they show up on my desktop and I can't close them! Any ideas? Here's a screencap http://i54.tinypic.com/2qimpn9.png [20:18] sjm: heh. yeah, but i thought i'd figure out the "brave new world" version. [20:19] HP/UX == Cthulu OS. I had sooooo many problems with that monster during my time at AT&T. [20:19] sjm: i don't recall if it did things differently when i used the 3G modem or not. [20:20] anyone know about missing "create starter" context menu ? what priviliges would one need for it ? [20:20] bobstro, yeah, but sometimes I like the familiar rather than the "brave new world". [20:20] sjm: oh, i agree. i just get to support friends and family when they have problems. [20:20] * SilentDis attempts to will dd into greater speed. [20:20] Katsumi y i know this name? [20:20] antIP, are those real windows or graphical glitches ? [20:20] hi. i have some keyboard-shortcuts setup, i reassigned the "print screen" key for example. i was asked if i want to reassign it while setting it up, but it still only opens the screenshot-dialog :/ any hints? [20:21] SilentDis: i am curious to hear about your results. [20:21] i need to edit the xorg configuration on my ubuntu 10.04 as a mounted disk. Where can i change the video driver to vesa? [20:21] nibbler: vanilla wm or like openbox? [20:21] SilentDis, maybe reading from if=/dev/random will help it run faster. :) [20:21] /dev/random is sloww [20:21] joshmc, just gnome [20:21] I dont see xorg.conf in /etc/ and X11 folder doesnt show me anything [20:21] or /dev/zero [20:22] speaking of the brave new world [20:22] pedobear - that's the thing, it's weired. I can click on them like windows borders and they pop up over my other windows. But they don't have buttons on them. They are artifacts from 3 pdf documents I had rolled up when I restarted. Now I'v restarted twice and they wont go away. ??? [20:22] quiescens, use dev/urandom for speed, on cost of security (if using for crypto stuff) [20:22] what is the easiest way to install 10.10 on a netbook without a CD drive? [20:22] I tried a USB install with unetbootin but it didn't work [20:22] sjm: maybe I should write /dev/random to my audio device, and see about picking out patterns in the chaos, and learn to crack encryption by sound, too :D [20:22] antIP: anything set to start in startup applications? [20:22] antIP, can't you unroll em and close them ? maybe they are saved in your session ? disable rolling completly ... [20:23] !google test [20:23] SilentDis: cp + chroot + grub-install wouldn't be faster? :) [20:23] pocketprotector google tux idillyc life for VESA for GRUB [20:23] joshmc, ah, setting it different and re-setting to print-screen resolved it. i assume that the setting is not done when a) un-assign is done before or b) binding didnt change [20:23] pocketprotector: /etc/X11/xorg.conf isn't there anymore by default, but you can create one and it will be used [20:24] bobstro - I had the same thought. Yes, a lot of thing are listed in Ubuntu Tweaks as "Auto Start Programs" I don't know which one would be causing the problem though. [20:24] bobstro: it's been going for a while now. I ain't touchin' it. lol [20:24] nibbler: gotcha! [20:24] pedobear - That's not a bad idea. I set the 'roll up' in ubuntu tweaks. I'll turn it off now, and restart in a minute to see if that helps. [20:24] im having problems with chromium-browser. every time i start it it says there was an issue opening the profile. i've removed the package deleted .config/chromium and reinstalled but the first restart of the browser produces the same error [20:25] antIP: check preferences->Startup Applications and see if anything in there sounds like those pdf sessions [20:25] bobstro: it's like watching a pot of water, waiting for it to boil. it'll happen... just will seem longer. brb, gonna grab a soda and come back to a terminal asking for my next command ;) [20:26] bobstro - I have a couple of dozen programs set to start at startup, but I can't imagine any of them would be causing this. Perhaps I'm wrong. Any suggestions. I don't want to list them all for you here obviously. ;) [20:26] sjm, bobstro: I change /etc/resolv.conf but the device keeps defaulting to the same DNS server. [20:26] bobstro - ok, checking now [20:26] dromatic: are you getting your address from dhcp? [20:27] bobstro: it's mobile broadband [20:27] Guys - I'm having problems connecting to this server via a regular irc connection. I'm using webchat. Is the server chat.freenode.net 8001? === ServerTechLaptop is now known as ServerTech|Lapto === ServerTech|Lapto is now known as ServerTechLaptop [20:28] bobstro: so the answer is "I don't know, however 3 mobile supplies my address" [20:28] dromatic, bobstro might be able to help you better as he's better versed in the "brave new world" [20:28] hi, Does anyone know of a fix so that i don't need to turn the desktop effects off on remote computers that i want to be able to 'Remote Desktop Viewer' vnc to? If desktop effects are on, the screen on the client doesn't update [20:28] bobstro - What does "Automatically remember running applications when logging out" do? Will that automatically run the currently open applications when I restart. (It's not selected, but it sounds cool.) [20:28] Benoms1: yes I do, hang on a second. [20:28] Hello, can you tell me what I need to be able to ssh to a simple desktop pc with dynamic IP? the openssh-server installed and running but it doesn't connect. do I need to open ports in the router settings or something? [20:28] So if i want the vesa driver to load instead of the nvidia driver, how do i edit a text file to load this driver? [20:28] bobstro: darn you, it's not done yet. you did something, i know it. I hold you personally responsible for how long it takes to DD a 20GiB drive. [20:29] SilentDis, are you going to do anything to help with the writes to the SSD (flash drive?) [20:30] hey.. I have an issue with xrdp concerning keymaps. Ive copied a km-*.ini file to /etc/xrdp but its not using it cause its defaulting to a US based keymap... How do I fix this? [20:30] sjm: I aligned the partitions ahead of time to the 4KiB sector size. [20:30] dugger5688: Thanks :) [20:30] pocketprotector: let it create a custom xorg.conf, there is a command for that that I forget, then for driver make it 'nv' instead of 'nvidia' [20:30] Benoms1: are you using nvidia? [20:30] I'm having the same issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/591532 do anyone know how fix it? [20:30] pocketprotector: u can remove nvidia with graphic Hardware Drivers [20:31] yes [20:31] SilentDis, I meant more of a read-only root filesystem or such. [20:31] pedobear / bobstro - thanks for your help. I'm going to restart now and see if your suggestions helped. [20:31] VCoolio, shcherbak : I cant do it from an application because i have to mount the drive from my other computer to edit the files. The screen is blank on the native pc when i boot and i cant change ttys. [20:31] sjm: I thought about that... but I do make a lot of changes to my system. plus, I have a few games I intend to copy over to it (SC2 addict here), and it'll need write access anyway. [20:32] silentdis: iotop can be neat when doing io heavy stuff [20:32] VCoolio, shcherbak : and there is no default xorg.conf in /etc/x11 [20:32] SilentDis, I ask, because I'm looking at setting up something like a read-only system with a NAS for data. === OpenSourcedNick1 is now known as OpenSourcedNick [20:33] pocketprotector: boot a fallback mode from grub, that'll load vesa too [20:33] SilentDis: all i did was wonder at the size of the hammer you are using on this ant! :) [20:33] bobstro: Ah, I may have been being stupid. I was using nm to select mobile broadband for a different provider (orange, a.o.t. 3). I've added an entry for a 3 device. About to disconect eth0 and see if it works. [20:33] VCoolio, i have tried numerous times to hit the grub menu while booting, and i never am able to catch it. [20:33] I need an editor (kate/bluefish/gedit) with Search Result count, any ideas? [20:33] dromatic: ok. sorry, i have used a mobile setup, but can't recall the details now. [20:34] dromatic: network manager will play games with your dns settings though. [20:34] are there no xrdp uses around? [20:34] users* [20:34] pocketprotector, you've tried repeatedly pressing the key while booting to get to the grub screen? [20:35] sjm, yes and ive also tried the "e" key [20:35] dugger5688: I've actually just found a fix. I made a gconf-editor change earlier, but i just realised i only did it on the client. I did it on the remote pc now and it fixed the problem. [20:35] pocketprotector, try using a ps/2 keyboard if your currently using a usb keyboard [20:35] Benoms1: Assuming you are using nvidia open up 'gconf-editor' from the run application dialog (alt+f2) then go to... [20:35] lol, looks like you got it. [20:36] bobstro - pedobear - thanks for the help. Turning of 'roll up' helped. I'm a noob and didn't think of it. The problem was that it was trying to load document on an unmounted drive at startup and couldn't find it. So, how do I force external drives to mount at startup? [20:36] pocketprotector: the command to get a default xorg.conf is 'sudo Xorg -configure' but if you can't get to a tty I'm not sure the video driver is your problem [20:36] Dugger5688: yep thats the one. Thanks for that mate! i appreciate it. [20:36] sorry to waste your time [20:36] Benoms1: Sorry it took so long, I had to get into my HTPC and figure out what the change was. [20:36] No prob, now I remember again! [20:36] antIP: usb drive? [20:36] VCoolio, it is for sure, because i hear the ubuntu drums [20:37] pocketprotector: but ctrl+alt+f1-6 doesn't get you anywhere? that's just weird [20:37] bobstro - No, it's actually just another partition on my hard drive, and also a secondary drive on eSATA. [20:37] pocketprotector, how many video cards do you have? [20:37] bobstro - I' [20:37] VCoolio, yup thats right [20:37] pfifo, one. on my laptop [20:37] anyone happen to know of an app that will accept an incoming email with a wav attachment, convert it to another format, and send it back out to specified recipients? longshot, i know.. [20:37] Sorry bobstro - I'd love for both of these drives to mount at startup. [20:37] antIP: i've done the same with an esata drive. just create an entry for it in /etc/fstab with the 'auto' option. [20:37] VCoolio, i tried a second keyboard too [20:38] antIP: there may be a more gui-fied way, but that's how i do it. [20:38] quit === dylanjr is now known as Pedobear === Pedobear is now known as Pedobear_ [20:38] antIP: ext drive? [20:38] pocketprotector, you might try a livecd to get to the grub menu to boot into another kernel or fix your xorg.conf. [20:38] bobstro - What command do I use to do that? [20:39] kesroesweyth: thescriptkesroesweythwillsoonwriteinhisfavoritescriptinglanguage :P [20:39] is it hard to share a printer to windows clients? [20:39] antIP: are you familiar with fstab? [20:39] kesroesweyth, would be pretty easy to make something like that if you can program [20:39] bobstro - I'm not very good with command line. That was one of the PDFs I was reading. On unix command line ;) [20:39] haha jrib. if only.. [20:39] bobstro . No not familiar. [20:39] no i cant, unfortunately [20:40] kesroesweyth: pick a scripting language and make it your first project [20:40] is there is a super generic xorg file i can use? [20:40] antIP: it's not hard, but you do have to edit system file (/etc/fstab). let me peek and see if there's a gui tool. === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [20:40] bobstro -thanks. [20:40] MERDE [20:40] MERDE [20:40] MERDE [20:40] Pedobear_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:40] :/ [20:41] Pedobear_, !language [20:41] antIP: there is. :) under Administration->Storage Device Manager [20:41] bobstro - i opened fstab in gedit. [20:41] hello all, i'm having trouble setting up samba with a win7 machine. Win7 can see me and download my shares, but although ubuntu can see the win7 machine it won't see its files. Can anyone please help ? [20:41] antIP: or that :) [20:41] where would I look to find out whether an LSI SAS3041e-r SAS controller card has a module pre-built and loadable in Ubuntu Server 10.04 ? [20:41] EDREM [20:41] antIP: do you know the device? [20:41] EDREM [20:41] !ops | Pedobear_ [20:41] is there a list somewhere? [20:41] Pedobear_: Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) - elky, Madpilot, tritium, Nalioth, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, Myrtti, mneptok, Pici, jpds, gnomefreak, bazhang, jussi, Flannel, ikonia, maco, h00k, IdleOne, or nhandler! [20:42] is it hard to share a printer to windows clients? [20:42] bobstro - I know the name of the device (i think) "Secondary" [20:42] bobstro - I don't have Storage Device Manager under Administration. ? [20:42] jrib >> ugh. thats awesome advice, but unfortunately i probably will never get around to actually doing it. lol [20:43] bobstro - I'm on ubuntu 10.04 [20:43] antIP: ah... maybe it's an extra. i'm on 10.04 too. [20:43] kesroesweyth, build it around something like mplayer or ffmpeg. [20:43] bobstro - any idea on how I could add it? Package manager? [20:43] kesroesweyth: you should make it like a hobby project. If you're on a deadline it's not that feasible, but you should still keep it as a project and slowly code small parts [20:43] antIP: there are two ways to do it - enter the device name (e.g. /dev/sda1) in /etc/fstab, or the UUID (which is less prone to changes if you add stuff) [20:43] kesroesweyth, it really is some simple stuff, curl + mpg123 + bash shell scripting. it would be a pretty simple first project. [20:44] hmm ill have to look into then [20:44] not a programmer [20:45] kesroesweyth, you forgot the "yet". [20:45] just thinking about it... ugh, id need a shot of crown royal before i could begin [20:45] antIP: it's in package called pysdm [20:45] kesroesweyth, make it only accept file attachments sent through paypal ;) [20:46] bobstro - my secondary is /dev/sdb1 (I think). I'm downloading package now. [20:46] antIP: i've not used it much, but it looks like a nice gui around /etc/fstab if you're not so comfortable editing it directly. [20:46] antIP, "sudo fdisk -l" will help you figure out which disk is which. [20:46] df -H is nice too [20:47] brummbaer, doesn't df only show mounted partitions? [20:48] sjm... good question... maybe [20:48] sjm: he says he's not comfortable around command line, so i'm thinking fdisk is later ;) [20:48] sjm thanks. bobstro - I don't see anything about mounting on startup in Storage Device Manager. But I did set sdb1 as a drive to mount (I think). [20:49] Each apt pinning entry must be done for one package at a time? i.e. a line like Package: geany* doesn't work? [20:49] bobstro, fdisk -l doesn't get you into the program, it just lists what's there. [20:49] im having problems with chromium-browser. every time i start it it says there was an issue opening the profile. i've removed the package deleted .config/chromium and reinstalled but the first restart of the browser produces the same error. [20:49] 'sudo blkid' gets you a nice list. [20:49] bobstro - I wonder what "I/O to the file system should be done synchronously" does. [20:49] antIP: click on the assistant button and i think it will let you select. [20:49] antIP: don't start there! :) [20:49] * sjm is off to eat something [20:50] bobstro, yep, seems all OK now using network-manager entry for correct provider. [wonder why Orange entry was appearing without me setting it?] [20:50] dromatic: so all happy now? [20:50] bobstro - what do you mean, don't start there? With the I/O you mean? [20:50] boctro, yeah i think so, thanks. [20:50] antIP: don't go selecting stuff you don't understand just yet! [20:50] antIP: that gui will still let you get into trouble. :) [20:50] antio [20:50] antip [20:51] bobstro, s/boctro/bobstro/ ... [20:51] ah! [20:51] bobstro - Ok, so now you're telling me not to use the GUI? [20:51] antIP: no, don't go setting options like the one you mentioned. just look for auto mount at startup. [20:51] MTec007: you are talking about chromium-browser and not google-chrome right? [20:51] antIP: might affect performance, etc. [20:52] dromatic, correct [20:52] bobstro - oh, ok. Yeah, I have the default settings selected, that's all. 1) "the File system is mounted at startup" 2) Mount file system in read-only mode and 3) unmask fo the file permissions in octal" [20:52] dromatic, i dont know which is better however [20:52] MTec007, I had the problem with google-chrome, but deletion of ~/.config/google-chrome did fix it [20:53] bobstro: and some other options are selected by default under the other tabs as well. [20:53] hello all, i'm having trouble setting up samba with a win7 machine. Win7 can see me and download my shares, but although ubuntu can see the win7 machine it won't see its files. Can anyone please help ? [20:53] MTec007, I also don't know which is better [20:53] Guys I'm having trouble with software mdraid in ubuntu 10.04 desktop, I have a RAID1 array on my 2 2TB drives, 8GB of which is partitioned as swap, but when I boot after a fresh install, my swap isn't shown in 'free' and mdstat shows md1 as inactive [20:53] dromatic, im all for trying it again, let me do that [20:53] bobstro: Do you think those defaults are ok to go with? [20:55] aprovencio: from what i heard, win7 will block non-win7-computers from downloading files [20:55] dromatic, second time is a charm? lol [20:55] antIP: this is an esata drive with ext filesystem, right? [20:55] aprovencio: make sure they are in the same workgroup and try again [20:56] magnetron, yes they are, and they see each other [20:56] bobstro - No. It's an eSATA drive with NTFS. [20:56] aprovencio: I don't use windows but you might have to disable the type of encryption windows 7 uses. [20:56] bobstro - Also I would like to mount another partition that has windows 7 on it. That's NTFS also. [20:56] antIP: oh! ok. save it, then we can look at /etc/fstab in (gksudo) gedit again. [20:57] antIP: the gui should just create the lines for you that you can edit. my esata is also ntfs. [20:57] bobstro - awesome. [20:57] antIP: the problem with ntfs is that it will normally be owned by root if you don't specify otherwise, and the gui doesn't seem to know those options. [20:57] Hi, Is there an ubuntu related channel for only coders ? [20:57] antIP: so when you save, do gksudo gedit /etc/fstab and let me know when. [20:57] where programmers can talk about coding sessions. [20:58] bobstro - fstab added: /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ntfs nls=iso8859-1,ro,umask=000 0 0 [20:58] djszapi: no [20:58] djszapi: you'd talk in the language's channel [20:58] djszapi: #ubuntu-programming ? [20:58] bobstro - that's my secondary eSATA drive. [20:58] jrib: er... whered that come from? [20:58] antIP: ok, we'll need to edit it a bit, but it sets up the format for you at least. [20:58] maco: heh, heard it mentioned before [20:58] k [20:58] ty, byer [20:58] jrib: id usually send people to ot. they talk about programming there a lot [20:59] bye, gnight, whatever :) [20:59] bobstro - and it didn't add my windows partition. [20:59] antIP: now, this is mounting it like a permanent drive. it won't be plug and play. that's what you want, right? [20:59] hi all [20:59] any one who has worked on apache and php on ubuntu 10.4? [20:59] ? [20:59] antIP: you can use this as a template for the other drive(s). [20:59] oryxtec: just ask your real question [20:59] ok [20:59] bobstro - ok. [21:00] i have dedicated server on which company from where i got this sever [21:00] bobstro If by plug and play you mean that I don't need to fiddle around with it to get it to work when I "plug it in" then yes. I mean, plug and play typically refers to not having to install drivers. [21:00] they install all LAMP pacgake [21:00] !enter | oryxtec [21:00] oryxtec: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:00] antIP: well, it won't show up on desktop when you plug it in, etc. what i understand is that esata requires more work to do so. [21:01] guys how to disable notoification msgs about my battery being discahrgerd or charged is rly anoying [21:01] antIP: and i wanted mine mounted every time anyhow. [21:01] but now i think some thing has gone wrong [21:01] and now apache and php is not working at all [21:01] bobstro - I would like the drive to mount during the startup procedure so that I don't have to manually mount the drives each time ubuntu starts up. I would love to have the PDF files I had open up automatically from the Secondary drive. I keep all of my data on my Secondary. [21:01] from last 1 week i have been trying to fix [21:01] it [21:02] antIP: ah, so an extension of your home directory essentially? [21:02] i need any help on this to fiz [21:02] fix [21:02] bobstro - Yeah. That's how I've always done it. I have one drive for the OS and another for my data. [21:02] antIP: the downside is that if the drive is not present, the boot process will wait for you to press a key. there's probably some sexy way to fix that. [21:02] Sexy is good. [21:03] bobstro - well, I don't have a problem with that. The drive is either always present, or I am present to hit a key. [21:03] antIP: in case i have to leave, i changed the "ntfs" to "ntfs-3g" and the options (no spaces, commas between) to "uid=,gid=,user,defaults" [21:04] bobstro can you just copy the line for me? [21:04] antIP: NTFS is annoying, I dropped it completely. Are you still using windows? [21:04] antIP: add "auto" to that list. [21:04] bobstro - where do I add "auto"? Before or at the end? [21:05] antIP: mine's something like - /dev/ /var/opt/external ntfs-3g uid=,gid=,user,defaults,auto 0 2 [21:05] dugger5688 - Well, right now, yes. But I'm hoping to get rid of it soon. Then I'll back up my data. format the drive in ext, and be done with NTFS. ;) [21:05] antIP: use your user and groupname of course. [21:05] is there a good guide to setting up a web server under linux? [21:05] bobstro - thanks. [21:05] would like to switch from SBS [21:05] dugger5688: in my case, it's an external that i take on the road to use with win7 laptop for work, so easier to keep ntfs. [21:06] Can anyone recommend a good article or suggestions as how to setup NFS tunnel through OpenSSH? It's for a home network...and I'm quite new to Ubuntu. [21:06] bobstro - of course, I don't know what my group is. =) [21:06] So I want to listen to lastFM using Rhythmbox, and I have my account details correct, but it tells me I have an invalid password or username. Ideas? [21:06] antIP: you may want to research using UUID in /etc/fstab if you have other removables in case order gets changed. [21:06] antIP: your username. usually same in deb/ubuntu [21:07] bobstro - sorry didn't catch that. I know my username, how do I find my group? [21:07] dugger5688, where would this encryption config be ? [21:07] bobstro - Yeah, I'll look into UUID because I have another external USB drive that I havn't plugged in yet. [21:07] Can anyone recommend a good article or suggestions as how to setup NFS tunnel through OpenSSH? It's for a home network...and I'm quite new to Ubuntu. [21:07] does anyone know of a good setup article for linux web servers [21:08] antIP: it's the same as your username usually. you can do 'grep /etc/group' in terminal to be sure. [21:08] area51pilot_, try linuxhomenetworking.com [21:08] ssd532: thx [21:08] how about nfs through openssh? [21:08] Beaker_: i found samba easier, unless you want to play with NIS and such too. [21:08] bobstro - yeah, it's adam [21:09] Beaker_: there may be better ways, but it was quick. [21:09] bobstro...samba is for windows users mainly [21:09] Beaker_: yes, but works fine for copying files around. [21:09] dugger5688, i see only an option to change from 128bits to 56bits and that did not work out [21:09] Beaker_: you can use sshfs too [21:09] Beaker_: (i've got mixed clients) [21:09] Beaker: http://www.badgerbait.net/linux/ubuntu-10-04-server-lucid-print-and-file-server-for-home-network [21:09] bobstro - i mean, yeah. it's the same ;) [21:09] Hi all, where is the java virtual machine located at? I installed sun-java6* and javac isn't in my path. [21:09] antIP: yes, it should be [21:09] brummbaer...does that explain tunneling, that aritcal? [21:09] [21:10] beaker_ no, no talk on tunneling [21:10] part is rly difficult [21:10] it ask me start? and end? [21:10] and I'm like whatever [21:10] brummbaer: i think it uses samba :) [21:10] was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on software for multiple server management [21:10] ok, i want to tunnel nfs over openssh [21:10] Beaker_: uid & gid mappings were a real pita with nfs i found. [21:10] aprovencio: I think that's the option. Sorry I have no experience with Windows 7, but that worked for a friend. [21:10] bwuh [21:11] Beaker_: I haven't tried this: http://www.howtoforge.com/nfs_ssh_tunneling [21:11] Beaker_: must it tunnel for a home network? [21:11] why does it say the resulting patrtition is not properl aligned [21:11] <[Adam|Miner]_> I want to dual boot a clean machine with windows 7 as a primary OS, and ubuntu as my secondary, does it matter what order I install each? [21:11] why does part say the resulting partition is not properly aligned [21:11] Is tunneling necessary for home networks? [21:11] bobstro - I'm reading about UUID now. You can get UUID's for your partitions by running 'blkid'. [21:11] I will be using vnc, only at home though [21:11] i asked first [21:12] antIP: or cheat and do 'ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid' [21:12] bobstro - sweet. blkid is showing my all of my UUIDs. nice [21:12] Anyone know why this might be, at all? [21:12] Beaker_, from a quick google on "nfs over ssh": http://www.howtoforge.com/nfs_ssh_tunneling, or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=627699, or.... [21:12] antIP: that will save grief if you add and remove drives later. [21:12] thanks all :) [21:12] bobstro - thanks yo. [21:12] hey guys [21:12] so... what are folks using for shared drives? [21:12] Beaker_, ??? you're going to be using VNC?? [21:13] was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on software for multiple server management [21:13] antIP: i went through this just this week. is it working? [21:13] bobstro - I really appreciate it!!! [21:13] [Adam|Miner]_: it actually doesn't.But if u install ubuntu first and then windows u have to reinstall the GRUB [21:13] Beaker_, how's that fit in with nfs over ssh? [21:13] rapage: please stop pressing so often, your statements/questions are hard to read [21:13] yes sjm, i am...just to play around with it [21:13] <[Adam|Miner]_> ohio: Thanks, that's all I care about [21:13] when I do mkpart primary ntfs why does part say the resulting partition is not properly aligned [21:13] <[Adam|Miner]_>pleasure is mine [21:14] I just bought an Apple bluetooth Might mouse that doesn't have any buttons or a scroll wheel(you scroll using the middle part of the mouse with ur finger) and the scrolling isn't working. Does anyone know how to go about getting this working? [21:14] Beaker_, but if you're using VNC over ssh, the filesystem is local to the machine you are attached to, right? There's no need to tunnel nfs too. [21:14] bobstro -- I can't edit fstab in gedit. permissions probably? [21:15] or maybe someonh's using tghe file [21:15] sjm, so if everything is local, then tunneling is not necessary if i am using a good software firewall such as GUFW? [21:15] antIP: alt-f2, then gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [21:15] hi guys, can anyone tell me which kernel version is in ubuntu 10.04 [21:15] Evening all. I'm toying with the idea of making a pen drive install but have a couple of queries. In no particuar order: 1) The guides seem to suggest making what more or less sounds likea copy of the live cd. Why this method rather than just installing to the drive as though it were any other HDD and does this not complicate the saving of data and configurations? 2) Swap space. Should this ..... [21:15] sudo gedit /etc/fstab [21:15] be allocated on the drive? [21:15] antIP: yes, permissions if you're not root. gksudo runs it as root for you. [21:15] when I do mkpart primary ntfs why does part say the resulting partition is not properly aligned [21:15] 3) I've forgotten! [21:16] Ibertech: 2.6.32 [21:16] !info linux-image | Ibertech [21:16] Ibertech: linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.32.24.25 (lucid), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all armel) [21:16] Beaker_, I'm getting more confused. Please explain the layout of what you want to do. [21:16] bobstro: What does alt-f2 do? [21:16] antIP: if you're in gnome desktop, just lets you run a program -- like windows-r in widnows [21:16] why can't we pm each other for help, or tag our names with I know this and that it'll be a lot easier to provide suporiot then all @ the same time ask [21:16] plus is less private [21:17] !pm | rapage [21:17] rapage: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [21:17] sjm, ok, i basically have 3 ubuntu machines...one will be the server...i want to be able to share printers over CUPS, and basic file sharing...only on my LAN [21:17] rapage: you can also use the forms. this can be chaotic. [21:17] !patience | rapage [21:17] rapage: 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 [21:17] guntbert, I'm worry about privacyI recently been hacked my computer [21:17] I don't want hackers to know what' am up 2 [21:17] rapage: irc may not be the place for the paranoid! [21:17] bobstro: Hmm. nothing happened with I used sudo gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [21:18] is not my mind I rly got hacked [21:18] rapage: then don't ask for help here, use the forums [21:18] antIP: nothing came up? [21:18] QUESTION: How do I install Radeon HD Drivers for Ubuntu so I have fast 3D OpenGL? [21:18] bobstro - Oh, it worked with I dropped "sudo" [21:18] Beaker_, and...? [21:18] rapage, if your paranoid about security, maybe get a host-cloak first of all [21:18] antIP: hehe [21:19] antIP: when you've made edits and saved, you should be able to do "sudo mount -a" from terminal to mount everything marked as "auto". [21:19] bobstro - so should I ad that /var/opt/external if I'm using the UUID? [21:19] i am trying to make powertop or the downloads from the lesswatts.org website permanent on my ubuntu installation can anyone help me out [21:19] bobstro - ok [21:19] antIP: no, one or the other - UUID=... or /dev/device [21:19] hi, i have matlab installed in ubuntu and yesterday I was able to make a launcher following instructions on ubuntu [21:19] sjm, and how do i just allow my local network for CUPS and filesharing in the firewall? Is my network IP 192.168.2.1/24 (is this what i type in the "from" space in GUFW? [21:19] today, it is not there although the icon is in the icon folder and the "matlab.desktop" is in applications folder. [21:20] How do i get the launcher to work? [21:20] antIP: make sure the path exists (i used /var/opt/external). it can be wherever you want, but must exist! [21:20] Ibertech, what do you mean permanent? [21:20] bobstro - so what was "-3g" for after the "ntfs" ? [21:20] antIP: sorry, forgot that bit [21:20] antIP: TBH - i forget :) [21:20] goruka: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [21:20] antIP: but mine's working like a champ. [21:21] Paddy_NI when i run powertop for example i need to re run it after i reboot or go into standby [21:21] antIP, that's the name of the ntfs driver "ntfs-3g" [21:21] antIP: it's a variant on ntfs, but i've forgotten distinction [21:21] goruka: but first, check system > administration > hardware drivers [21:21] Beaker_, if you have a gateway, firewall between your LAN and the Internet, it doesn't really matter. Your boxes will only be listening to boxes on their own network. [21:21] I see Ibertech one sec [21:21] i am only getting around 1.5hrs battery in comparison to 3hrs with win7 [21:21] antIP: if you get errors at terminal doing 'sudo mount -a' they should give hints. [21:21] everything else is great :D [21:21] ilovefairuz, thanks!! [21:22] hi, i know this is a little off topic, but when i installed ubuntu on my laptop i deleted windows but my new work requires i have windows on my laptop. this should be no problem but the bios in my laptop is Phoenix, and will not allow me to reinstall windows alongside linux. it won't even let me wipe linux and install windows by itself (which is not what i want to do - i want to dual boot). anyway, I'm taking the computer [21:22] Ibertech, yeah power saving is something that is receiving a lot of attention on ubuntu lately [21:23] sjm, how do i firewall between network and gateway? I have deny all incoming connections, but i'm not sure how to add exceptions for CUPS and NFS [21:23] Ibertech, I think you can just add powertop to your startup applications.. one sec [21:23] bobstro this is what I have now. UUID=904A60BA4A609F2A ntfs uid=, gid=, user, defaults, auto 0 2 [21:23] guys tghe right resolution is 1024 by? [21:23] antIP: no spaces between options! [21:23] you want to share printing and NFS with your local network or over the Internet? [21:23] da 1 after 800x600 [21:24] bobstro: Ok. I took out the spaces. [21:24] 1024x768? [21:24] antIP: you are missing the mount point (where it goes). should come right after UUID bit [21:24] Hello, I'd like to ask a question. Why is this line appearing underneath the google logo. Its not happening in opera. And not on any other machine in firefox for that matter http://imagebin.ca/view/iL93qM6.html [21:24] yes [21:24] can someone point me to a room for c++ [21:24] * Paddy_NI points [21:24] snake_, #c++ [21:24] snake_: maybe #friendly-coders [21:24] lol [21:24] bobstro: Ok. is that this part that you gave me? /var/opt/external [21:24] revilodraw: how is it "not letting you"? [21:24] revilodraw: The way I got around that issue last time was to back up Linux, wipe everything, install Windows, reinstall Linux as a dual-boot, then restore from backup. Don't know what to do about your BIOS, though [21:24] ok thanks [21:25] antIP: yes. just point it to a directory you have rights to [21:25] Can anyone tell how to read .csv file on ubuntu? [21:25] Paddy_NI do i need to add any variables to automatically apply the recommended fixes [21:25] antIP: /home// for example [21:25] Beaker_, Do you have a firewall on the router between your LAN and the Internet? Deny all incoming connections there. Then you can have more permissive rules (or none at all) on the boxes on your LAN. [21:25] antIP: then create /home// [21:25] sushi-mashi: what do you mean by read? less? awk? soffice? [21:25] sushi-mashi: Does OO.o do it? [21:25] DarkAnt: http://google.com/ncr [21:25] sushi-mashi: open it with openoffice calc [21:25] Ibertech, just a moment my mobile broadband is being unforgivably slow at the moment [21:26] bobstro: So I'm essentially creating a directory for my drive? [21:26] oh ok, i will wait thank you [21:26] antIP: yes, a 'mountpoint' [21:26] DarkAnt: it's because it redirects you to co.in, /ncr will prevent this in the future [21:26] antIP: so instead of drive letters, you mount volumes into the tree. [21:26] guntbert: There's no Open Office calc on my system. [21:27] blsecres: I just want to see the contents of some .csv file [21:27] antIP: so i have /var/opt/this, /var/opt/that and so on [21:27] sushi-mashi: What ubuntu varient have you got? [21:27] sjm, yes i have a firewall on my router, and it is set for denying all incoming...so i can open any incoming connection and it will automatically stay within my LAN? [21:27] 10.04 [21:27] sushi-mashi: $ more foo.csv [21:27] sushi-mashi: nano, vi, gedit can open it, but it won't look like a spreadsheet... [21:27] sjm, on gufw that is [21:27] sushi-mashi: I mean, have you fot ubuntu,xubuntu,lubuntu,kubuntu ect. [21:27] guys am typing xrandr --newmode "1024x768_60.00 but it says is not a valid entrnace and according to wiki.ubuntu is a valid option to add a new mode I can later outout [21:27] *got [21:27] bobstro: So you suggested that I use /home// rather than /var/opt/ ? [21:27] I have UBuntu 10.04. Let me try nano. [21:28] I think it was renamed OO.o spreadsheet. [21:28] antIP: yeah, probably for a single user system. mine's got multiple users, so i lay it out differently. [21:28] rapage: xrandr --output DVI1 --mode 1024x768 [21:28] sushi-mashi: gnumeric is a nice, lightweight spreadsheet program to replace OO Calc [21:28] I use a lcd on a laptopo [21:28] is not using dvi [21:28] antIP: but no big difference SO LONG AS permissions are right. [21:28] then $ xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x768 [21:28] antIP: i over-complicate things. :) [21:29] Beaker_, I would assume so (I'm not familiar with GUFW. but if your firewall rejects any incoming connections, then the only connection attempts possible are from your LAN. (Now, if someone connects (wired or wirelessly) to your LAN.... [21:29] bobstro: OK. -- So currently me drive is mounted as Secondary type is: folder (inode/directory) according to the "properties". [21:29] brummbaer: Gnumeric is indeed nice but it says "unsupported file format" when i try to open csv === russian_ulysses_ is now known as grafdiffuzor [21:29] antIP: ok, unmount it to test. [21:29] bobstro - well, I'm sure it's not complicated for you. [21:29] ok, makes sense..thx for your help sjm [21:29] Ibertech, this is what I am waiting for http://www.google.co.uk/url?q=http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php%3Ft%3D1376603&sa=X&rct=j&ei=BImOTNvBIcOQjAfdioWhBg&ved=0CB4QrAIoATAB&usg=AFQjCNE-VOfPFNNCOnHIyAbzTghnBtEEsw [21:29] Open Office id not doing the job [21:29] rapage: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding%20undetected%20resolutions [21:29] sushi-mashi, that's weird [21:30] Nano shows me "@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@" like characters [21:30] having trouble w/libnotify -- notify-send is failing silently... I tried redirecting error output but nothing is there [21:30] sushi-mashi, i do all spreadsheets as csv as is most portable [21:30] ilovefairuz, what's where I am [21:30] sushi-mashi, doesn't sound like this is actually a CSV file [21:30] antIP: you getting close? when my buddy calls, i have to fly! [21:30] bobstro... It asked me if I want to empty the trash... I guess that's just asking me if i want to delete any files I may have trashed on that drive? [21:30] blsecres, that's to start outputting but I need to add the new mode first [21:30] bobstro. yeah. [21:30] antIP: yeah. [21:30] PHP_Arun: ? [21:30] rapage: did you create a mode line with cvt? [21:30] yess? [21:30] Let me see, it's an auto-generated file so could be something messed up with it.

[21:32] mkdir [21:32] antIP: or nautilus -- the 'explorer'. just open places->Home Folder [21:32] jimcooncat: Thanks. It seems file is corrupt "items.csv: CDF V2 Document, corrupt: Cannot read summary info" [21:33] bobstro - ok. I created it. [21:33] antIP: ok, so open terminal and try 'sudo mount -a' [21:33] Hi [21:33] antIP: then places->home folder and try opening Data [21:33] bobstro. it worked. [21:34] bobstro - thanks!!! [21:34] antIP: ok, so when you reboot, it should be there. [21:34] bobstro - ok. I'll give it a shot right now. You may be gone by the time I'm logged back on. No worries. [21:34] antIP: if the message at startup is a problem later, remove the 'auto' and just do the 'mount -a' before you use it. [21:35] antIP: ok good luck [21:35] GUYS where is xorg located [21:36] when I input data to xrand where is it going? [21:36] I just inputted wrong data into xrand and want 2remove it [21:37] rapage: it's not persistent, will be reset on next Xorg restart [21:38] nvm I just did [21:38] bobstro: It worked. [21:38] rapage: read the WHOLE page before following the instructions and you'll get your answers [21:38] so if I add data to xrand where is it going I wanna do it manualemtn [21:38] antIP: excellent. that was a long trip from your original problem. :) [21:38] yes but it akes times [21:39] antIP: i am after something a bit slicker to allow insert/removal for esata, but this is working well for now. [21:39] bobstro: Secondary drive is still showing up. I have a Data drive, a Data folder under home, and a Secondary drive on desktop and Places menu. [21:39] hi guys! need a little help with purftp. I keep getting "PAM Auth failed", but I disabled it. [21:39] antIP: hmm. not sure about Secondary. is that the same device? [21:39] antIP: was it auto-mounting before? [21:40] bobstro - yeah. [21:40] antIP: oh... i thought it wasn't. mine didn't. [21:40] bobstro - it was not automounting before, but it's the same device. [21:40] antIP: urgh. ok, i don't get that problem. i only see the mounted drive nice & tidy. [21:40] antIP: i know you can configure it, but i don't have any nice pointers for your. [21:41] When I go to mount the "Data" drive in Places menu (because it doesn't show as mounted) it says: Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE [21:41] library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated [21:41] FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged [21:41] guys if I do xrandr --newmode "800x600_60.00" 38.25 800 832 912 1024 600 603 607 624 -hsync +vsync why is 60 out of alignment in relation to the other entries [21:41] antIP: you can just comment that line in /etc/fstab with '#' at the start if you don't want it. [21:41] antIP: oh... does it say ntfs or ntfs-3g in /etc/fstab? [21:42] bobstro: It says ntfs [21:42] antIP: make it ntfs-3g. that may be why i changed it. [21:42] antIP: hopefully this didn't over-complicate it. :) [21:42] antIP: root does mount it at boot, that's why i'm confused. [21:43] bobstro - I'll restart again. [21:43] antIP: sorry! [21:43] PS. the Data folder under home is working fine. I can access the drive through there. [21:43] bobstro - no worries mate. [21:45] how do i set up a mike in ubuntu? [21:46] bobstro - same issue on startup. [21:46] n0a1ias, give him a LiveCD [21:46] Secondary is mounting automatically, but Data is not. [21:46] bobstro: [21:46] pfifo: :) [21:46] what? [21:46] n0alias: User Settings > add [21:46] n0a1ias: that was a joke [21:46] ^ +1 [21:46] is there a diff. program I should be using to send notifications through besides notify-send? it doesn't seem to be working and doesn't give an error [21:47] ohhh i get it! [21:47] it wasint very good [21:47] n0a1ias, run alsa-mixer at the command line and press tab to get to the recording settings [21:47] antIP: erm... [21:47] I want to install cvt but ubuntun says cant find it [21:48] antIP: so it mounts but your user can't write to /home//Data? [21:48] !find cvt [21:48] Found: troffcvt [21:48] did it change n ame [21:48] rapage: cvt is part of xorg -_- [21:48] doesn't work [21:49] ohh I needed sudo [21:49] rapage: "doesn't work" is very vague [21:49] A drive called "Secondary" mounts. A drive called "data" is in the Places menu and is unmounted, and I get an error when I try to mount it. And under Home I have a dir called "Data" that accesses the Secondary drive. [21:49] join #pitivi [21:49] rapage: it's very likely you already have cvt [21:49] noo [21:49] xD [21:49] bobstro: sorry did you get that. [21:49] antIP: no, say again [21:49] bobstro: A drive called "Secondary" mounts. A drive called "data" is in the Places menu and is unmounted, and I get an error when I try to mount it. And under Home I have a dir called "Data" that accesses the Secondary drive. [21:50] antIP: so... Secondary is now auto-mounting whereas it did NOT before? [21:50] The "Secondary" drive and the "data" dir are the same. "Data" drive wont mount. [21:50] oh I did ctv [21:50] bobstro - yes. [21:51] antIP: hmm. let's just comment out that line in /etc/fstab then. it sounds like it's mounting (under /media/Secondary) on its own now. [21:51] antIP: which is what you wanted to start with, right? [21:51] bobstro - Yes. That works. [21:51] how can I encrypt a file using PHP with _only_ a public and private PGP key? (no passphrase) [21:51] can anyone help me with pure-ftp? [21:51] antIP: suffice to say, it is not doing that on my ubu 10.04! [21:51] I'll comment out the whole line we added then. [21:51] Ljl: thanks [21:51] ninjai: probably better luck if you ask in ##php [21:52] antIP: yeah, just put a # in front of it [21:52] LjL: thanks :P [21:52] Lrevo: np :) [21:52] antIP: but now i'm jealous [21:52] ninjai, did you mean pgp? [21:52] please tell me how can I setup my fringerprint [21:52] pififo: aye.. that i did lol [21:52] bobstro: I'll restart again. I'm don't mind doing all of this. I'm LEARNING. I hope to get a Linux certification sometime in the next year if I can. I'm new to linux, but not to IT in general. [21:52] *PGP [21:53] LjL: I completely mean PGP :( [21:53] antIP: you'll be certifiable, at least [21:53] Anyone have any experience with using optical SPDIF inputs? It's a pretty complex problem that's stumped me [21:53] ninjai: http://devzone.zend.com/article/1265 [21:53] guys [21:53] ninjai: oh. well no idea, but there's the option of leaving the passphrase empty when creating a key [21:54] I did what cvt told me but still 60 is out of alignment [21:54] and i fear I blow out my monitor [21:54] anybody knows how can i setup fingerprint ??? [21:54] purftp keeps complaining about PAM, but al already said 'no' into the files. [21:54] i was wondering is it possiable to share a wireless internet over a wire because i have access to a wireless ap but i have no access to the router it self [21:55] tacomaster: it is. [21:55] !ics | tacomaster [21:55] tacomaster: 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 [21:55] bobstro - didn't work. Now it's not mounting. ;) [21:55] f [21:55] antIP: aaah! [21:55] bobstro: And, as would be expected, that Data dir in home is empty. [21:56] I have a dell e6500 but fingerprint wont work [21:56] ok guys I'm ready to add new mode but instead of using s-video what I use? [21:56] bobstro - is that good aaah, or a bad one? [21:56] bobstro, antIP: rare to see people of thing not working :) [21:56] s-video is tv out right? so I shoiuld use lcdv right [21:56] d [21:56] antIP: it works like a champ on my box. bad aaah. do an ls /media at terminal. do you see Secondary there? [21:57] Lrevo: maybe https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThinkFinger can help [21:57] bobstro - ok. I see the drive there. (sdb1) [21:57] antIP: everything i've found indicates that esata are not mounting automatically (yet) like usb, so you need /etc/fstab entry. [21:57] antIP: can you open it? is anything there (does it mount) when you open it? [21:57] is there a way to reset iptables back to there default? [21:57] LjL: when I want to set it up, it says: not device found [21:57] s-video is tv out right? so I shoiuld use lcdv right [21:58] antIP: i don't have the mountpoint in /media for mine. [21:58] tacomaster: sudo ufw reset [21:58] bobstro - Does it require root to mount for some reason? [21:58] bobstro - I don't really understand how the options work. [21:58] antIP: well, in /etc/fstab, but that happens at boot. the magical auto-stuff, no shouldn't [21:58] antIP: in /etc/fstab? [21:59] bobstro: mmm. [21:59] antIP: they vary by filesystem type [21:59] glebihan: how is it that yall have learned so much about linux is it yall just have used it for so long or are there books for it plz i hate being a retard when it comes to linux [21:59] tacomaster: being using it for quite along time now [21:59] antIP: normally defaults,auto is enough but some (like ntfs) require more parameters. with ntfs, it can only be 'owned' by one user in the unix/linux sense, so you specify a uid and gid (user and group id) [22:00] tacomaster: and used to develop a lot under linux, [22:00] tacomaster: but there are books too [22:01] anyone has idea, why mdadm after array creation and system reboot switches from partition to devices ? So, i created array, that used sdc1 and sdd1 partitions, but after reboot it uses /dev/sdc and sdd [22:01] I have a micro sd card that wont let me delete the files...it shows they are moved to the trash but when I reload the sd...all the files have returned..Help would be greatly appreciated [22:01] tacomaster: and don't feel like a retard, it's by using that you learn, and by asking others [22:01] How can I search for something matching /regex/ in $PATH? [22:01] bobstro: Ok. I found something strange. Why are two UUIDs? [22:02] antIP: ? [22:02] antIP: shouldn't be for same partition [22:02] bobstro - when I do ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid it shows a shorter UUID (the same as blkid shows) and a longer one. [22:02] glebihan: its just that about 4 months ago i switched fully to linux and i have had so many stupid problems that i know were probally created by me and i never had thos problems in windows not because linux is worse or anything i just knew what to do instantly when something broke in windows [22:02] mikelifeguard: find ${PATH//:/ } -regex "string" -print [22:03] bobstro: bd143f74-0bb2-452f-b308-b36e72f5eb6e and 904A60BA4A609F2A [22:03] bobstro - when I do ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid it shows a shorter UUID (the same as blkid shows) and a longer one. [22:03] antIP: both point to same partition? (e.g. /dev/sdb1) [22:03] bobstro - never mind. [22:03] bobstro: I'm retarded. [22:03] tacomaster: I had a lot of issues when I first started using Linux too [22:04] Anyone have Ubuntu on a MacBook Aluminum? [22:04] tacomaster: making mistakes is the way to learn how to fix them :) [22:04] rasengan: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [22:04] thanks, erUSUL [22:04] bobstro: i as confused by lines breaks in terminal. [22:05] mikelifeguard: no problem === kim0_3G is now known as kim0_vacation [22:05] glebihan: lol i have made my share of mistakes like yesterday i somehow uninstalled compiz so i lost all my bars at the top or when i switched from network manager to wicd and all networking functions failed just little petty stuff /sigh [22:06] i just installed ubuntu next to my windows, but now i want windows to be in the 1st place in the boot menu [22:06] how can i change that ? [22:06] glebihan: very glad i choose ubuntu rather than gentoo as my original thought :P [22:06] hello all, anyone is using gns3 here ? [22:06] i have used gns3 before [22:07] i have trouble to start a pix with gns3 [22:07] bobstro - should I have anything for "Type"? [22:07] i guess i have some problem with pemuwrapper :( [22:07] did you help me with this ? [22:08] sheldon: i have never had gns3 fail on me sorry [22:08] ok, thanks [22:09] i just installed ubuntu next to my windows, but now i want windows to be in the 1st place in the boot menu, how can i change this ?

[22:09] i will check it out [22:10] yes tacomaster :) [22:11] Hi, Anyone that could help. Have changed a users defult home directory from /home/isak to /hdd/ftp/isak (Yes I know what I am dooing and want it like that) But when I log in to that user with ssh it stil shows home dir as /home/isak [22:12] and its a desctop user not a admin. [22:12] eriksson25: probably because your ssh is configured to point to ~/ [22:12] and not to /hdd/ftp/ [22:12] Does anyone here "donate spare CPU cycles" and if so, whats it all about? [22:12] eriksson25: how did you change it? [22:13] i'm guessing something like seti@home mark7845 [22:13] Thrue gui [22:13] eriksson25: getent passwd USER [22:13] they're my spare cycles and you can't have them [22:13] maybe not seti but some other such distributed processing thing [22:13] Saguaro, thats ok, i don't even know what it means! [22:14] guys [22:14] guys the resulting [22:14] monitor congfi had a refresh rate of 59.4 and apparently is failig to be accepted by ubuntu [22:14] What will this do ?-- > getent passwd USER [22:15] I just added another ethernet card to my system. It sees it as eth1. I edited /etc/network/interfaces, but its not giving it a static IP.. any ideas? [22:15] eriksson25: get the info about user from the passwd file [22:15] I've been having a lot of trouble exporting Lucid virtual machines in VirtualBox. It seems that the exported appliance can only utilize the network only if the mac address for each card is set to that of the original vm. [22:15] how to cdhangew it to 60? I did --newmode "1024x768_60.00" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync [22:15] mark7845: the idea is to use part of the CPU in a project requiring a lot of calculation power [22:15] and it end up with 59.4 [22:15] seti@home is a program that SETI (The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) does where you willingly download a program that uses idle time on PCs all over the world to look through the massive amounts of data collected by deep space telescopes for evidence of alien life. simlar programs do genetic mapping and other things that require HUGE amounts of processing power [22:15] im guessing its something like that [22:15] Why do I have apps (Emacs and Document Viewer) automatically starting at start up? [22:15] mark7845: by accumulating resources from a lot of people over the world, you get to have a very powerful system in the end [22:16] it still says its /home/isak [22:16] its how google is run [22:16] glebihan, how does that work? calculations are sent over the server and my PC?

It freezes while starting and all I see are those red dots on purple background. [22:16] like the multiple parts of Blue Gene [22:16] mark7845: something like that, don't know about the details of the algorithms, must be very complicated [22:17] Emanon, BeoWULF!!! [22:17] 10.04. Anyone seen this+ [22:17] folks, nvidia driver is crashing [22:17] mark7845: anyway you can find some infos about it by googling, but it's offtopic here [22:17] * kneaux ran "rm -rf /", and all he got was this stupid t-shirt [22:17] glebihan, interesting though. Thanks for the info. [22:17] http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/password_reuse.png [22:17] Laban, nothing happens... how long have you left it like that [22:17] mark7845: you're welcome [22:17] and the bug reporting system is so awkward htat I'm having trouble filing a bug with the stck trace [22:17] Paddy_NI: Over night [22:17] =) [22:18] Laban, also hopefully you did not interrupt and update/upgrade [22:18] Laban, hmm.. tried booting to recovery mode and running startx to see if it loads? [22:18] Update was done so it requested reboot, I clicked reboot and that's the last time I got in. [22:18] How do I get into recovery mode? [22:19] how to cdhangew it to 60? I did --newmode "1024x768_60.00" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync and it end up with 59.4 [22:19] someone pm me [22:19] Laban, any idea which package was upgraded? [22:19] nvidia module crashing [22:19] softirq hang [22:19] Laban, it should be on the grub menu at the start if you interrupt the countdown timer [22:19] who do I talk to to get some movement on this ? [22:20] I wonder if there is a factoid for !recovery actually [22:20] !recovery [22:20] To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [22:20] gah [22:20] mark7845: It was a fresh installation, so a few hundred packages. [22:21] Laban, would it not be possible to just reinstall then, If it was a fresh install, that's what I would do. [22:21] I need to use an image on Amazon EC2... does anyone else use that and know a good Ubuntu EBS store image to use? Looks like I'll need to select a community one... [22:21] mark7845, that does not solve the problem, after another update he could be left with the same issue [22:22] hi [22:22] !hi | Xgrzyb90 [22:22] Xgrzyb90: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [22:22] Paddy_NI: Yes I guess your right! :P [22:22] hi [22:23] Anyone know if there's a way to make ubuntu play the sound from my optical input on my sound card? [22:23] mark7845: I had the same problem before, so that's why I did the fresh installation [22:24] Laban, ok well in that case I would do as Paddy_NI suggested and go into recovery mode [22:24] Laban, one sec [22:24] Laban: to go to grub menu and select recovery mode, hold shift at boot time, until you get to the menu [22:25] Laban, what laptop are you using? [22:27] Laban, also I would note what kernals are available to you when you enter grub, if you've done a big update maybe you will probably be using a different kernal [22:27] Paddy_NI: Desktop computer, home brew sort of [22:27] can i install ubuntu on NTFS [22:27] ?* [22:27] Laban: graphics card ? [22:27] I'm trying to figure out what command line tools I need to make CD/DVD repo disks since aptoncd doesnt seem to be working in lucid, cause the disks arent added as a source properly. I figured out that "dpkg-dev" provides the dpkg-scanpackages command to produce a Packages.gz file. But what other packages/commands will put the packages into a proper pool? Also what package/command is needed to have the system see the disk repo as having a [22:27] Schnitzel: using wubi, yes [22:28] iom looking for a ubuntu theme that looks like this 1 : http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMG_0072.png [22:28] I had a teacher once that wanted us to install 4gb of redhat on 2gb ntfs (back in '02)... that was special... then again, he was a bicycle rapairman more that teacher... === Xgrzyb90 is now known as emmanuelgoldstei [22:28] glebihan: Nvidia 9500GT === emmanuelgoldstei is now known as emanuelgoldstein [22:29] LinuxGuy2009: http://www.debian.org/doc/ is probably a good place to look, don't remember [22:29] Laban, I think your GDM custom config file got messed or removed according to several bug reports I am reading if you boot into recovery mode and run "sudo gdmsetup" that should help resolve your problems.. also disable auto login if given the option [22:30] Paddy_NI i have installed granola and it has taken over 10watts of my power consumption [22:30] LinuxGuy2009: http://linuxclues.blogspot.com/2010/06/create-trivial-debian-repository.html [22:30] Skeeter-, that is some sort of animated wallpaper not a gnome theme [22:30] erUSUL: k thanks Ill check it out. [22:30] LinuxGuy2009: http://wiki.debian.org/HowToSetupADebianRepository too [22:30] Paddy_NI, i wanna get the same colors kinda theme [22:31] Ibertech, nice [22:31] jrib: thank you [22:31] Skeeter-, then browse gnome-look [22:31] *sigh [22:31] How do i uninstall Wine 100% so that when i install it again on my pc its fresh and as if i never even had it on my pc before ? [22:31] does wubi install linux on the windows partition? or does it partition the drive for you. [22:31] Wernis: don't bother uninstalling, just delete ~/.wine/ [22:31] guys [22:31] Wernis: sudo apt-get purge wine [22:31] Paddy_NI gonna get fully charged and see how long the battery lasts now :D thanks for the pointer in the right direction [22:32] getafix: it installs on the windows partition [22:32] strange I did everything right apparently , but am getting error msg : xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed and I'm using LCD on a laptop [22:32] Ibertech, Sure thing man [22:32] l8rs [22:32] my output says default not vga o other [22:32] jrib: really, and when i re-install like i said it will be "fresh" and never seen by my "virgin to wine" ubuntu ? [22:33] jrib thanks. so it basically does the same thing , if i were to install ubuntu manually using the ubuntu live cd? [22:33] Wernis: why reinstall? Just delete ~/.wine [22:33] Emanon: i tried that and when i re-installed it still had all my old stuff ? [22:33] getafix: it installs ubuntu as a file inside your windows partition [22:33] jrib: why must i delete? haha i want to use a all my windows stuff still ?:P [22:33] jrib and how is that different from me doing it with a live cd. [22:34] strange I did everything right apparently , but am getting error msg : xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed and I'm using LCD on a laptop [22:34] Wernis: you said it wanted it to be "fresh". Wine doesn't come with any software [22:34] Wernis: I guess the better question is, why do you want to do this? What do you want to accomplish? [22:34] ok try "sudo apt-get purge wine && rm -drf ~/.wine" (without the quotes) [22:34] jrib: ah perfect so if i dl and start again it will be like you said fresh and work like new again ? [22:35] Wernis: I don't know why you keep saying "dl and start again". You don't have to do that. Just delete ~/.wine and start using wine again [22:35] jrib: well i am having problems after i tried to install Delphi 7 and it failed ahrd :'( [22:35] Wernis: what problem? [22:35] Can someone help me stop eMacs and Document Viewer from starting automatically at startup? === The_Thing is now known as Cobalt-60 [22:35] yea no need to remove just delete its directory ~/.wine and next time you use it it will recreate fresh [22:35] antIP: are they in your startup programs? [22:35] antIP [22:36] antIP System>Preferences>Startup Programs and remove them from the list [22:36] jrib - No not under "Startup Applications Preferences" or "Boot-up Manager". [22:36] jrib: my warcraft 3 keeps failing and cutting me off and delphi wont do anything and my steam is biting *$%. But i think i get it, i delete all me wine crap and then when i run it again i wont have that old crap i used to have ?:) [22:36] bye [22:36] install the sysv-rc-conf package if you don t find them there [22:36] antIP: do they startup with a fresh new user? [22:36] Emanon - They're not on that list. that's the strange thing. [22:36] Wernis: correct [22:37] jrib - that's a good question. I only have one user. I haven't tried another. [22:37] sweet so solution found :P haha now for a noob question, how do i delete it ? in terminal :) [22:37] I have a problem with frequency control [22:37] antIP: in the "Startup Applications Preferences", click Remember currently running applications once you have closed them [22:37] jrib - I'm a noob, I don't even now how to try another user. [22:37] I don't have module acpi-cpufreq [22:37] Wernis: just hit ctrl-h in nautilus, go to your home, right click on .wine and delete [22:37] antIP: in the "Options" tab [22:37] antIP: system -> administration -> users and groups, create one, log out, log in as new user [22:37] And unfortunately I don't know who to install it [22:37] * jrib wonders why emacs is installed in this case [22:38] Someone knows it? [22:38] glebihan - Ok. I'll try that. Does that option automatically start up all of your apps that were running when you logged off/restarted ? [22:38] antIP ubuntu know is going to a new startup procedure other than init.d [22:38] jrib: ah nautils ? im lost again sorry :( [22:38] antIP: only if you check the checkbox [22:38] Wernis: nautilus is the name of the default file browser [22:38] since we were on the topic of wine, is it possible to run multiple windows applications with wine? [22:39] getafix: yes [22:39] glebihan - right ;) [22:39] jrib: you are the man! thanks for the help and the patience :P [22:39] emanuelgoldstein: maybe sudo apt-get install acpi then teb twice for autocomplete to see what packages look right for that? [22:39] or search synaptic for "acpi" [22:39] glebihan oh. fantastic. i ran into some problems earlier. will try again and tell you the error i get. maybe you guys can help. [22:40] glebihan jrib - thanks. I'll try those suggestions. [22:40] any chances that evolution will be contained in the communication menu (the little envelope thing in top panel) instead of just having the launcher for it in there when 10.10 rolls around? [22:40] One other thing, some games come as a .run file that you install from, is there any way to convert one of those generic files to a .deb package so I can uninstall using a package manager on the system? [22:40] Emanon: very doubtful [22:41] LinuxGuy2009: no [22:41] oh well i guess ill keep using it in an iconless alltray [22:41] Emanon i tried but it failed === Greyscale is now known as Greysc[a]le [22:41] how did it fail emanuelgoldstein give me some details [22:42] I have acpi in the newest release i meant [22:42] But still have no control on cpu frequence [22:43] Is there a way to add apps to my iPod touch through Ubuntu? ie Like download them from a source and then install [but not jailbreaking my ipod] ? [22:43] oh ok then i dont know sorry emanuelgoldstein [22:43] there's like 4 fat32 [22:43] QUESTION: Does latest catalyst (closed) work on ubuntu 10.4? I'm installing the driver and xorg fails by saying: "undefined symbol: resVgaShared" Is there any way that is known to work to install catalyst drivers on ubuntu 10.4? [22:43] which one should I use for max compatibility on xp [22:43] hello [22:43] Anyone happen to know of a prequeuing music player for Ubuntu (for sound drops)? [22:43] there's like 4 fat32, which one should I use for max compatibility on xp [22:43] Wernis: i think you can download them, extract them and manually put them in the directory on your ipod but im not sure [22:44] emanuelgoldstein: try "sudo apt-get install cpufreqd" [22:44] come on is an easy question [22:44] the ongoing situation about maverick-netbook-edition is totally lame folks [22:44] Hi all. My gf & I are both running Ubuntu 10.04 on our laptops. We can't get to talk with each other, because of this sound problem: in her sound proferences are two such-called "profiles", say profile 1 and profile 2. Profile 1 is labelled "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output+Analog Stereo Input" and profile 2 is labelled "Analog Stereo Outpt". Now, using profile 1 I can hear her but she can't hear me ; and using profile 2 it's just the opposit [22:44] e. It's absolutely echausting. How could we solve this ? [22:44] Wernis: I know that there are several third-party apps (not iTunes) for Windows, but I've never seen one for ubuntu. [22:44] having something that doesn't boot from usb is _lame_ really [22:44] rapage: there are only fat16 and fat32 i think bud [22:44] glebihan I tried it also... [22:45] Emanon: thats so cool, haha that kinda sounds like a GOOD idea, do you know where ican get further help? Google is all about jailbreaking and puttin linux on the ipod, is there a channel ? [22:45] glebihan: I tried also to upgrade kernel [22:45] Sybock: so maybe i can use wine to do me the honour ? [22:45] emanuelgoldstein: what were you doing were the error occurred ? [22:45] Wernis: I believe you have to jailbreak your iPod to access the root directories. [22:45] um look up how to use the netflix app for ipad on iphone [22:45] I have one, and had to. [22:46] that tells how to extract and install that way [22:46] just repeat it for other apps Wernis [22:46] Laban, Hey how's the progress? [22:46] I don't accurately remember but I think i was upgrading system ;-) [22:46] I don't joke [22:46] Sybock: do you know if linux can run iTunes ? [22:46] ;-) [22:46] and i think with fuse you can access it without jailbreaking [22:46] does anybody know about apparmor? [22:46] Emanon: thanks so much! [22:46] Wernis, why would you want to [22:46] I don't know the first thing about Linux Wernis. [22:46] Wernis: no version after 6.something will run in wine yet [22:46] Sybock: thanks :) [22:47] Wernis, All the main linux audio players support the ipod [22:47] if that doesnt work you may have to jailbreak [22:47] Paddy_NI: Working on fixing grub so I can select recovery mode. [22:47] for music yes Paddy_NI not for apps [22:47] Emanon, ??? ther'es 4 [22:48] there 2 actually one with lba [22:48] where rapage? [22:48] Paddy_NI: well i want to add apps to my ipod touch, VIA a pc... so i can keep the apps and sync when ever. [22:48] Emanon, Oh an itouch not an ipod [22:48] which omne should I do [22:48] emanuelgoldstein: what do you get if you run "sudo modprobe acpi_cpufreq" ? [22:48] Wernis, I would run windows in a VM just for that I suppose [22:49] Paddy_NI: haha a bit of a waste but a solution i guess :) thanks [22:49] glebihan: tomasz@tomasz-laptop:~$ sudo modprobe acpi_cpufreq\n FATAL: Module acpi_cpufreq not found. [22:49] Hey Wernis, doing some google searches I found ten programs that run in Linux that can do it. [22:49] Wernis, Yeah a bit of waste but I suppose its always handy to have sitting there [22:50] Sybock: Hm... let me see, i fail :( [22:50] there 2 fat32 one with lba [22:50] whcih one should I go 4 [22:50] Hello [22:50] No, sorry I failed. [22:50] glebihan: someone has said me that I must take a new kernel, but I have the newest from ubuntu repositiorium [22:50] Looks like SharePod should be able to do apps though. [22:51] My friend have a HP laptop with some old Intel graphic card ... It have OpenGL 1.3 support ... [22:51] maybe compile from source emanuelgoldstein? [22:51] Ah wait, no it can't. [22:51] he have a problem, he can't start any application... only some folder from desktop... but nothing else isn't starting [22:51] Emanon: ;-) [22:52] Milos_SD: is english your native language if not what is we can direct you to the proper channel for your native [22:52] not to say you dont speak well but would be easier for you [22:52] Emanon, it is not my native :) [22:52] I will try this night ;-) [22:52] what is Milos_SD? [22:52] Might as well just jailbreak your iPod Touch. [22:52] I will be installing ubuntu 10.04 to a customers computer. Any real reason not to install 64bit and doing 32 bit for it? [22:53] Seems like these solutions people are finding are a major pain in the ass. [22:53] question. if i've got a Windows executable i wish to run in ubuntu, is there any way to do that? or am i forced to download all softwares from the software updater? [22:53] Where when you can simply ssh in and drop your files where they belong is easy as hell. [22:53] coffee412: 32 is a little more compatible for now [22:53] flash player and such [22:53] Emanon: Thank you very much. I was leaning the 32 bit way but wanted to be sure. [22:53] Nach0z: wine runs windows executables in linux [22:54] Emanon: Thanks a lot bro.that'll help me a LOT... [22:54] Ok so can anyone here help me properly configure my firewall....ufw [22:54] * coffee412 say good bye all and ON LIVE LINUX! [22:54] * Nach0z will brb on UBUNTU [22:54] hi, i need the sun-java6-jdk as 32 bit version on my ubuntu lucid box. it seems there is only a ia32-sun-java6-jre, but not the jdk. any ideas? [22:55] Hi all - can anyone help me with this webcam problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1572877 [22:55] basically, it was working one day, then it stopped [22:55] I think perhaps after a kernal upgrade [22:55] now uhci can't assign the usb webcam an address [22:55] I am running warcraft 3 in wine and it works but I have no sound the same thing happend to WoW when I ran it in wine what can I do? [22:56] aef: if you have installed the partner repositories there is a all of the sun java packages available [22:56] I'm not sure how to get it to recognize the camera again [22:56] on the link there are log files if that is helpful [22:56] aef: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [22:56] Sybock: so there is no app for it is there ? [22:56] noisewaterphdmac: but i need the 32 bit version on my 64 bit system [22:57] noisewaterphd i have alot of repos (including all the available defaults) and jdk isnt in my list either [22:57] anyone here good with firewalls?? [22:57] i dont need it but just saying [22:57] excuse me, is this mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157204 compatible with a athlon 64 x2, it says compatible with athlon 64 but i dont know it that applies to the x2 [22:57] So, my friend can't start applications ... he can't start anything ... only folder from desktop ... Did anyone had a problem like that? Or knows how to fix it? [22:57] i think the x2 uses the same socket tommygun1231 [22:57] there 2 fat32 one with lba whichi one should I go [22:59] the last thing we did, was installing SMPlayer from SMPlayer PPA. It worked OK after that, but today it started to brake down. :( [22:59] He says, that he didn't install or remove anything after we updated SMPlayer from that PPA [22:59] where are there 2 fat32 rapage? [23:00] is that ok? [23:00] I first thought that the problem may be not enough free space on home partition, but he have 11GB there, so that is not a problem [23:00] o wrong window, sorry [23:01] is there a ubuntu command line to get system info such as this command line from lanscape "/usr/bin/landscape-sysinfo"? [23:01] Wek: what system info are you looking for exactly? [23:01] how do I tell ufw to silenty drop ICMP echo requests??? [23:02] basic info such as cpu load, ram, hd usage, etc [23:02] Wek: top, htop, df? [23:02] Wek: free? [23:02] Wek, you can install htop [23:02] but would they work like the landscape command? [23:03] Wek: if you want something that works like the landscape command, why not use it :) [23:03] that's my last onption but i was wondering if there are builtin commands already [23:03] I'll check out thos suggestion, thanks [23:04] Hi... I want to record my webcam *and* microphone using VLC. I'm at a loss what my audio device name is. I have followed this thread, but it ain't working for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1332107 [23:04] anyone here know how to get rid of that dead space you get on dual-head with two different resolutions? where your mouse can go off the monitor, cos it registers the dual-head as one big rectangle...? [23:05] Wek: landscape just calls those various programs and combines their output, you can read the landscape command's source [23:06] Wek: it probably parses stuff like /proc/meminfo instead of free, but meh [23:06] Emanon, on cfdisk [23:06] i see [23:06] Wek: vim /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/landscape/lib/sysstats.py [23:07] If I download the Maverick beta will I be able to put the iso on a thumbdrive and boot it?

[23:10] yea the normal usb "Startup Disk Creator" seems to be handling the 10.10 iso just fine [23:10] not sure how the install would go but if it can detect it like it is it should be fine [23:10] Emanon: Thank you, again [23:10] hi. new to linux, just installed lubuntu, I have usb speakers, and I dont know how to set them as default, instead of my crappy laptop speaker.

[23:17] Yes. [23:17] oh ok, thanks (two people now) [23:18] as a side note (for anyone who cares) I have been testing lucid in the XO 1.5 OLPC. I have beeb having a strange issue though while installing most packages. [23:18] what part of it do you need help with or just a walkthrough? [23:19] anyway, the thing is that I'm trying to intall Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 to a webbook using a flash drive (2GB Sandisk Cruzer).....but everytime it begins to load, it just shows weird lines going up and down the screen [23:19] doesnt the OLPC work better with sugar? [23:19] how do i fix this error 0% [Working]Failed to create client object: Daemon not running while issuing the command sudo apt-get update [23:19] I installed libsdl1.2-dev and the header files installed at the wrong location. Why's that? [23:20] wippler: you select the flash drive or does it autoselect? [23:20] I selected the flash drive to boot first from the BIOS thing.... [23:21] I installed kde full. I can't find a way in KDE to setup my wireless interface from system settings? [23:21] k does it get to the ubuntu install options (Install, check disk, boot from first disk, etc) before it fails? [23:21] F-Spot photo manager don't work, how to fix it. [23:21] yes, it gets there [23:21] Sugar is not an OS its a GUI frontend like Gnome is.. [23:21] Hi everyone. It seems I've screwed up the cdrom portion of my fstab file, as I can no longer boot into mint. This error shows up: mountall: mount /media/cdrom [647] terminated with status 32 [23:21] what is the default mount point for ipod touches in 10.04, i cant find mine and gtkpod wont detect it but it is mounted, i can see the ipod icon on the desktop rhythembox sees the music on it [23:21] does it get to the part where it asks if you want to run it live or install it?

[23:22] The olpc normally runs Fedora 11, but I have an unsecured one so I can install unsighnd OS images.. [23:22] sirecat: #linuxmint-help isn't incredibly helpful atm, and anyways, a very large part of it is based off of ubuntu. [23:22] paddy_: Look in the media mount folder and see if it is there [23:22] yes, it gets to that menu, and till now I've just chosen the 'Run from USB' option (because I have WinXP installed and I don't want to mess it up till I can fix ubuntu :D ) [23:23] sirecat it is not [23:23] and thats when it screws up? at the live boot option? [23:23] So can anyone help? [23:23] sirecat when i look at the location for one of the files it gives me afc://09ec99861e5d39688ab616a7cd150ca86c94a19b/ [23:23] !fstab [23:23] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[23:23] read that TGP1994 (forgot to pipe it to you) [23:24] how to remove F-spot photo manager !! [23:24] paddy_: Then more than likely it is not mounted. First thing to check is use lsusb from console to see if it shows the ipod there. [23:24] delinquentme, yes [23:24] see if it tells you how to fix it [23:24] it does [23:24] Emanon: Ya, been there, done that. Doesn't seem to fix it, though. [23:24] or how it should look at least [23:24] yes, when I choose the 'Run from USB' option, I see the Ubuntu loading screen (with the dots at the bottom) and then it becomes all weird horizontal lines all over the screen going up and down [23:24] im not experienced with fstab [23:24] like it's bad reception on a TV or something :D [23:24] sirecat it does not give me the mountpoint though [23:24] <_Neytiri_> how do i bridge interfaces and set up a ipfw firewall on 10.4.1 [23:24] what is the netbook you're using wippler? [23:24] how do i fix this error 0% [Working]Failed to create client object: Daemon not running while issuing the command sudo apt-get update [23:25] sorry TGP1994 id help you but i dont know how [23:25] Emanon: Thanks anyways. [23:25] Elonex WebBook (sorry, I don't have more details atm, I'm helping out a friend) [23:25] but as I was saying I am running a stripped down version of lucid on the XO 1.5 OLPC, but I have a problem installing packages with some kinda manb pages error. [23:25] paddy_: Ok try mounting it manually... mount -t /dev/ /media [23:25] thats ok you do the best you can with what you got wippler [23:25] yeah, trying to :) [23:26] Sorry to ask this again, but I got pulled away to a meeting... I need to use an instance image on Amazon EC2... does anyone else use that and know a good Ubuntu EBS store image to use? Looks like I'll need to select a community one... [23:26] bye [23:27] googling the webbook [23:27] sirecat the problem is i dont know filesystem type and it is definatly already mounted but natulaus has no visible way of showing the directory it is in, how can i see this [23:27] hi [23:27] paddy_: try "df -l" [23:27] For anyone familiar with fstab, if I give my cd drive the noauto option, will nautilus still mount it when needed? [23:28] I did a few general searches for this problem, and some blogs seem to suggest that the native resolution (1024x600) is what's the cause of the problem...... [23:28] ......and I think it might actually be a graphics problem because there seems to be stuff going on in the background normally.....but you cant see it for all teh crazy lines :( [23:28] <_Neytiri_> how do i bridge interfaces in 10.4 [23:28] i have plugin my wireless pci card but in dmesg it gives error cannot assign irq what can i do to solve this? [23:29] cirecat i cant see it [23:29] all the same wippler try the check disk option at boot maybe? [23:29] or if there are options in the bottom at boot to change graphical options try those other than that i'm at a loss too [23:30] paddy_: that was Mark7845 answering your query on how to list the drives...if it doesn't show up with df -l then it definitely is not mounted [23:30] sorry if none of that helps wippler but i seem to be useless today :-/ [23:31] hey you guys...isnt assembly more universal than binary....like why not put programs for download in asm so that it can be ompiled to binary [23:31] ok, I'll do that now.....but another question: some people suggested that you need to get it to boot with resolution of 1024x600 by changing a Xorg.conf file.....but I can't find this anywhere (or the ETC folder for that matter) [23:31] cannonfodder: It all depends on how the operating system interprets it. [23:31] haha, you've given me your time, I'm grateful for that Emanon [23:31] thanks wippler [23:31] http://www.elonex.com/products/webbook_spec.shtm <<<------------ Specs for the webbook [23:31] sure [23:31] afk a bit all [23:32] sure [23:32] see if i can do something abotu it [23:32] bb [23:33] wippler: the file doesnt exist by default but if one exists, it will be obeyed [23:33] wippler: if you use this: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ until the embedded video, you can set the boot res [23:34] thanks Action! [23:34] let me see if I can figure it out on my own, otherwise I'll be back in a bit to bother you again :D [23:35] Hi all. Gwibber has been popping up the broadcast accounts window every 5 minutes or go, even though I configured said accounts 6 months ago. How can I make this go away? [23:35] "actionParsnip: you said if a file exists it will be obeyed......how do I make it so it obeys my file? Do I create a new ETC folder and put Xorg.conf in it? [23:35] jsec: ttry th daily build, i'd log a bug too [23:35] jsec: was happening here too last week. I'm pretty sure I just killed it though and it stopped :( [23:36] how do i stop all the soandso joined the room and soandso left the room [23:36] paddy_: which client? [23:36] paddy_: what's your client? [23:36] default 10.04 [23:36] empathy [23:37] does mysql usually run on a random port after each reboot? [23:37] any one knows what is the maximun users in a irc chanel? [23:37] netstat -an | grep -i mysql [23:37] it always shows a different listening port after each reboot, anyone know why? [23:37] back all [23:38] Fals Alarm no [23:38] hey I just installed the driver for bcm 4311 driver for my wireless works, but now my wired eth0 bcm 4401 doesnt; any ideas? [23:38] mysql should be on port 3306 according to /etc/services [23:38] <_Neytiri_> how do i bridge interfaces in 10.4 [23:39] hey Emanon :) [23:39] hey [23:39] Is unrar-free safe to use? I clicked on the website link from the Ubuntu Software Center and firefox says its an "untrusted website" [23:39] i saw someone gave you some help wippler glad [23:40] question: ActionParsnip said that if a Xorg.conf exists it will be obeyed, otherwise no such file exists by default.....so do I make the necessary folders and put the file on the flash drive? [23:40] earthling_: get it from the repo and its safe to use [23:40] earthling_: its just from a partner as opposed to official repo i think, so it warns you [23:40] earthling_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras will give you that, as well as some other stuff [23:40] I'm not sure how to ask this, is there a way to go about using google apps as default applications under ubuntu gnome? Like instead of evolution, use gmail and gcal. [23:40] since it doesnt get signed i think [23:40] i may be wrong [23:40] ActionParsnip, joshmc: Thanks guys. I pulled down the newest daily build and I'll keep an eye on if it keeps happening. If it does, I'll probably have to follow joshmc's path and blow it away :( [23:41] wippler: if one doesnt exist (default in Lucid) then udev will attempt to detect stuff, sometimes it works, sometimes not [23:41] pooky: System>Preferences>Prefered Applications [23:41] jsec: nono! [23:41] jsec: I just killall 'd it :( so that's kinda a non-answer [23:41] ok, will look into that [23:41] jsec: I'll go back and take a look at whada heck I did [23:41] wippler: you just need to edit /etc/X11/org.conf and find samples online. If you want to make a skeleton file, boot to root recovery mode and run: Xorg --configure [23:41] although i DO prefer the ppa version of gwibber (all warnigns for ppa's apply) [23:42] <_Neytiri_> how do i bridge interfaces in 10.4 [23:42] joshmc: gotcha. Well hopefully the new build fixed it and I won't have to worry about it. [23:42] jsec: cheers to that [23:42] thanks [23:42] I installed libsdl1.2-dev and the header files installed at the wrong location. It is being installed at /usr/include/SDL/SDL.h instead of /usr/include/SDL.h. Why's that? [23:42] ActionParsnip: untill now I think it doesn't exist (searched the flash drive), but where do I put the file if I want it to be obeyed by default? [23:42] Emanon: I suppose that's the most direct answer not sure how that works though, I mean, I'd have to use a browser, and then feed it args... seems convoluted. [23:43] wippler: run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf you now have write access to the file. [23:43] oh thought you meant google apps like the ones you download [23:43] ActionParsnip: there's an example over here, and I've got the Xorg.conf file from there -------->>>> http://webbookblog.com/reinstalling-ubuntu-or-other-linux-on-the-webbook/ [23:43] Polarina: a lot of packages are making their own directories under /usr/include since it's getting "crowded" [23:43] Polarina: pkg-config should take care of the details of handling all the subdirectories [23:44] Emanon: do such things exist for google mail/cal, like a proxy application? I found a google mail one, but nothing for calendar. [23:44] sorry, but I don't understand where I'm supposed to enter those commands......I'm using WindowsXP atm, the webbook I want to install Ubuntu onto has WindowsXP also [23:44] you know you can use gmail AND google calendar IN evolution right? [23:44] wippler: cool, copy it in and reboot, if its good, cool. You can tweak with more options to get (maybe) better performance [23:45] and then assign evolution a proxy it will use for all connections [23:45] blsecres, and how do I use pkg-config in my configure.ac file? [23:45] whats up guys.... I want to have a system where I can boot into multiple Linux environments, namely Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, and Gentoo. How difficult will it be to get all of them in the same bootloader? In Ubuntu can you skip the installation of a bootlader and then I can just edit the grub conf file manually to add Ubuntu? [23:45] ActionParsnip: copy it to the root or syslinux or......there's lots of folders :P [23:46] Emanon: that's kind of what I'm trying to stop doing [23:46] wippler: whatever gets you write access to the file [23:46] Emanon: I have both configured in evolution now, but I usually just read it online anyways, and my calendar [23:46] how can i install the PECL uploadprogress for apache2? [23:46] sec ill look for standalone apps brb [23:47] Polarina: http://www.openismus.com/documents/linux/using_libraries/using_libraries [23:47] i just used sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client [23:47] ActionParsnip: Um....I already have write access because I'm using the USB as a regular drive right now......after I copy Xorg.conf to it, I'll plug it into the webbook and begin installing.....but the thing is I don't know where exactly the Xorg.conf is supposed to go (trying to clear it up for you :D ) [23:48] but afterwards, i type sudo mysqladmin -u root -h localhost password myPasswordHere [23:48] mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed [23:48] pooky: http://www.josefrichter.com/blog/gmail-as-a-stand-alone-offline-application-using-gears-and-prism/ maybe? [23:48] error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)' [23:48] blsecres, thanks. [23:48] Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists! [23:48] anyone know how to fix? [23:48] wippler: if you read the xorg.conf is very readbale [23:49] or pooky http://desktop.google.com/plugins/ [23:49] and you can get those for linux too [23:49] Emanon: http://gnome-gmail.sourceforge.net/ [23:50] let me check that [23:50] wippler: xorg.conf goes in /etc/X11/ [23:50] sebsebseb, actually I already installed unrar-free from the ubuntu software center interface [23:50] Hrm, well, I don't think gadgets would work, I mean, no more than say, conky [23:51] ActionParsnip: oh ok.....thanks! I don't see a ETC folder, so i'm assuming I can just make a new etc/x11 then put the Xorg.conf in there? [23:51] wippler: that won't work [23:51] wippler: the X11 (not x11) folder, already exists [23:52] does any one knows how can i install the metasploit framework? [23:52] http://www.metasploit.com/framework/download/ usuario [23:53] not on the flash drive, I did a search right now :( [23:53] pooky: http://lifehacker.com/129818/ask-lifehacker--gmail-as-default-mail-program [23:53] Emanon: thanks [23:53] pooky: but [23:53] btw, this is a setup FOR installing Ubuntu......it's not an actual ubuntu installation [23:53] Emanon: ok thats fine then, no need to worry about it [23:53] earthling_: ^ [23:53] Emanon: wrong one [23:53] i figured [23:53] pooky: that is for the notifier, on like osx, windows etc, dunno bout 'buntu [23:53] wippler: xorg is generated at boot, since you don't have an install you can't make it use a xorg.conf [23:55] is there a way to use my own start up sounds in lubuntu? [23:55] ohhhh......so is there anything I can do to make it use a different resolution?......beacuse if I try to enter Ubuntu at all, it gives me a messed up screen :( [23:55] sebsebseb, I think I already downloaded some pieces of the ubuntu-restricted-extras, so it will just ignore those, if I install? [23:55] hey guys, i'm trying to get my ubuntu server to be a host for Xen VM's, and I'm trying to install xen-tools, but the package isn't available apparently, and ubuntu-xen-server won't install without it [23:55] it says that xen-tools has no installation candidate [23:55] earthling_: yep [23:55] anyone know which other package it may be in? [23:55] joshmc: I'll take a look at it, I gues most people use the google apps standalone with little desktop integration, or use another app, like evolution, to migrate the info [23:55] cool [23:56] wippler: you might be able to pass the screen resolution as a parameter when you boot [23:56] cherrypie_: try #lubuntu [23:56] thx [23:56] wippler: not sure how to do that though [23:56] do I dare ask what that entails? [23:56] sebsebseb, what about using apt-get vs aptitude, does it matter much? I heard its easier to uninstall with aptitude [23:56] ok, so not hahaha [23:56] cherrypie_: your welcome [23:57] !boot [23:57] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [23:57] when you install the google apps, is it possible to kill the stupid amazon mp3 and facebook apps if you want to? [23:57] oops wrong channel [23:57] disregard [23:57] thank you! [23:57] :) [23:57] earthling_: aptitude can be good, for bigger stuff, since better at dealing with dependancies, also if you put aptitude in the terminal and hit enter it will open up something for it. However apparatnly not really meant to mix apt-get and aptitude. Also starting with Ubuntu 10.10 aptitude will no longer be in the default install. [23:57] I'll have a look at that, but I'll stick around here in case you come with something or I need more help === oem is now known as getafix [23:58] ok,thx [23:58] earthling_: using apt-get will do it [23:59] is there a way to cut off the last x bytes of a file efficiently? I have a 300GB file which I need to cut 8k from the end of [23:59] how odd [23:59] earthling_: altough I would install stuff like kubuntu-desktop wtih aptitude sometimes before, and apt-get for other stuff, but yeah they are nearly the same thing really. except for aptitude if you open from the terminal of course [23:59] andre_pl, are you familiar with dd [23:59] wouldnt that break the file though?
