[00:17] an i upgrade the kernel from a usb startup disk ?? [00:17] Jordan_U, i booted the osx dvd and used diskutil [00:18] obi_: Yes, using "chroot". [00:18] Jordan_U, gparted says its just hfs+ now it doesnt say journaled anymore [00:18] !flash [00:18] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:19] thanks jordan... i am a bit of a noob... you have any more info or links. whats chroot?

[00:22] Whenever I connect to my vpn, I end up losing internet connections. How can I just 'add' the 10.* network and skip the fact that all packets should go through it ? [00:22] jazzz, yes , but tidepends on the kind of outputs on the graphics card and inputs on your tv [00:22] how do i make the bash variable "$1" use all the input, not just the first word? [00:23] Jordan_U, figured it out i had to run fsck.hfsplus and now it mounts write thanks for the help [00:23] obi_: Follow step two of this guide to start a shell where any commands you run will affect your installed system rather than the Live system, then run "apt-get upgrade" to upgrade to the latest packages (including the latest available kernel). [00:23] obi_: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [00:23] Karen_m: what vpn? it's usually a config setting to tell the vpn client not to override the default route [00:23] thank you [00:23] digitalfiz: You're welcome. [00:23] Is it harmful if I specify 0% reserved for superuser on a new partition that will only be used for /home ? [00:23] Jordan_U, so for future ref its disabled journaling and then run fsck.hfsplus in ubuntu :D [00:23] this the only way to do it? by sending with a cable by the output of my graphic card? can't i send the message to the box by wifi? [00:23] Dulak, one for softlayer [00:23] [00:24] as in `mpg123 -s *mp3|vlc -` doesn't work why? [00:24] Pici: No, you should still be able to recover from running out of space because /root isn't in /home. [00:24] jazzz, how are you transferring the signal to the tv ? [00:24] Jordan_U: Thats what I thought, wanted to double check though. Thanks. (5% is alot when dealing with large partition sizes) [00:24] Karen_m: not familiar with it but the setting it's overriding is called the default route, you want to keep your original default route and just add a route for the vpn network [00:25] Pici: You're welcome. [00:25] i send the signal to my internet box by wifi [00:25] dulak, i'm using the GUI method to set it up and I've not modified the routes, but I have both of the 2 options checked off : Ignore automatically obtained routes 2)use this connection onloy for resources on it's network [00:25] it's a upnp transfert [00:26] is there any way to rebuild or repair or recover, the /var/lib/dpkg/diversions ? [00:26] jazzz, internet box ? [00:26] Karen_m: again I don't know the client you are using but you probably want the auto routes option [00:27] I'm in the nework connections -> vpn tab [00:27] yes it's call freebox here in france....it's the box where internet come in the house uderstand? [00:28] jazzz, so you have an internet capable tv ? [00:28] testing it, i will probably lose connection again :) [00:29] no no it's a box to receive internet with my computer, but this box a like a router to, and can go and read some movie in the computer [00:30] http://www.free.fr/adsl/pages/accueil/presentation-freebox-hd.html [00:31] hey all [00:31] understand my problem?

[00:35] y es tht's it!!! the box have a film reader inside that don't support a lot of codec [00:36] so a lot of movies can't be read [00:36] hey guys i'm having an issue with my trackpad. I can't move the mouse at all. the commands sudo rmmod psmouse followed by sudo modprobe psmouse allow the mouse to function for about a second. any fix? [00:36] can't i read with vlc on the computer and send to the box? [00:36] guys pray for me that my ubuntu netbook install works [00:36] Praying for computer things is a bad idea. The computer detects your fear and refuses to work. [00:36] it went to 65% and said something about the dvd drive being corrupted [00:36] lol [00:37] hey csmith. Try using the keyboard function which turns the trackpad on/off , usually a blue key plus a keey on the function row with a little box [00:37] hi [00:37] detoya: you are amazing. it's F7 on my keyboard [00:37] exit [00:37] if i have a pc running off a router, and another pc running off another router downstream, how do i get this pc to talk to that pc?

If so then you'll need a 64 bit live system as well. [00:40] Is it possible for me to get rid of the mail icon in the top bar in 10.04? [00:40] Any ideas on why Ubuntu refuses to mount my external drive? It shows up in fdisk -l, but attempting to mount it from a terminal produces no output and just locks up the terminal (not even Ctrl+c works).

[01:24] wahby: Do you have more than one hard drive? [01:24] yes [01:24] wahby: Try changing the boot order in the BIOS. [01:24] i typed this [01:24] ~$ lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4 [01:24] and it gave me bash /home/ivan : is a directory [01:25] ok i want to talk about my problem i can....? [01:25] edbian: are you out there somewhere? :) [01:25] kronosphere, My guess. [01:25] kronosphere, yeah [01:25] ok [01:26] your guess? [01:26] kronosphere, My guess: if you shut down ubuntu again the module won't be unloaded for some reason. Then the hardware won't work again until you hard shut down (which resets the hardware) and the module will be loaded again proper on reboot of Ubuntu. [01:26] Ivanrad: Run "lspci -vvnn | grep 14e", (without the "~$" at the beginning). [01:26] bastidrazor, thanks - I had a weird thing going on with ubuntu-restricted-extras during an upgrade, the ttf-mscorefonts-installer had remembered a proxy settings from apt-cacher, and it resisted removal. a --purge finally sorted it. [01:27] Hi [01:27] fluvvell: glad to hear you solved it. [01:27] edbian: wow, does that mean that every other reboot or shutdown, my wifi won't be recognized? :( [01:27] I'm trying to apt-get dist-upgrade a computer from dapper to lucid [01:27] meld does not notice directories which begin with .

[01:27] bastidrazor, yeah but good to know I can ask the question and get a knowledgeable answer too :-) [01:27] !upgrade | jordanb [01:27] jordanb: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [01:27] The file downloads fine and looks ok [01:28] hi, can somebody please give me a link to catalyst (fglrx) 10.10 beta for ubuntu 10.10? It should be called fglrx-installer i gues... [01:28] kronosphere, I had a similar problem with a wired interface. I'm not really sure though. In my case it disappeared from windows as well. look at the output of sudo lspci -k to get the name of your module next time you're in Ubuntu and it's working. [01:28] im in ubuntunow [01:28] kronosphere, You get write a script to automate the task of manually loading and unloading the module. This probably sounds hard but it's very simple. [01:28] now [01:28] bastidrazor, I should look to note it somewhere for future upgraders -- it broke the installer process. [01:28] Ivanrad: the best thing is to plug in the ethernet and get the netbook online ortherwise its half a mission.... [01:28] oh? [01:28] kronosphere, sudo lspci -k it will list all the hardware. Find your card and look at the driver. What does it say there? [01:29] i did [01:29] ethernet doesnt work [01:29] it says [01:29] disconnected [01:29] Ivanrad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[01:30] <|devicenull|> I tried 'xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto' but that doesnts eem to work [01:30] jordanb: Revert your sources.list to the way it was before you tried to upgrade improperly, run "sudo apt-get update", then follow the upgrade documentation. [01:31] kthomas_vh, : don't be a dolt, turn off the backups filter :) [01:31] Ivanrad: whats the pci-id of the card... [01:31] where is that? [01:31] hi, quick question, i recently extracted eclipse, wheres the best place the put the folder?

Leave it up to ubuntu to break apt-get dist-upgrade. :/ [01:32] edbian: it is broadcom and here is the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/494483/ [01:32] jordanb: it wasn't ubuntu's fault you tried a poor way of upgrading your box. [01:32] its asking me to install drivers from the internet [01:32] kronosphere, I have the exact same wifi card! [01:32] but i have no internet connection...... [01:32] I've been using apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade machines for 12 years now. [01:33] kronosphere, See the driver there? b43-blah-blah [01:33] yah? [01:33] This is the only machine I've had to deal with ubuntu-server on though. The client insisted because debian is a 'volunteer project' [01:33] edbian: i feel so sorry for you bro! :) [01:34] hey guys any idea why lftp always fail to resume a download with -c [01:34] kronosphere, modprobe -r b43 to turn the card off. modprobe b43 to turn the card back on. This is akin to "use the driver", and "do not use this driver" effectively turns the card on and off. [01:34] kronosphere, Get used to that. Next time the card doesn't work see if "sudo modprobe b43" magically brings it back up. [01:34] ok, sounds like a plan and a a half, thank you [01:35] edbian: does your card to that to you too? [01:35] kronosphere, If it doesn't. Additionally try to "sudo modprobe -r b43" right before you turn off Ubuntu [01:35] kronosphere, Yeah I scripted it. Makes no difference now. [01:35] kronosphere, But you might have different experience. [01:36] kronosphere, Good luck! :) I have to go now! [01:36] ? [01:36] edbian: i will catch you another time to learn how to script it ok? :) [01:36] I am having trouble with a wifi PCI card in Ubuntu. The driver finds it, but in dmesg it reports that there are "no channels," and then the initialization fails.

It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [02:28] Killamus: True, you probably won't be able to remove everything related to Evolution as Gnome itself has some dependicies on it. I tried once, I couldn't remove everyting. [02:29] Killamus: but you can remove most of it though. [02:30] weboide: I removed what I could, just rather irksome when I click on a link and it loads Evolution.

[02:37] hi, is it possible to configure the gnome panel so when you right click on it, it doesnt show that menu allowing you to add panel/widgets and all those options? [02:37] Jordan_U: how can I fix that then? [02:37] I somehow have like, uh, 200 or so windows open [02:37] due to failure in GIMP. [02:38] allan8904: ive seen some gconf settings to lock down gnome features like that. ubuntu-tweak - i think has some check box optiomns for that also. [02:38] R0b0t1: try 'killall gimp' ? [02:38] Dr_Willis, thanks, i'll have a look in gconf :) [02:38] Well, hm. [02:38] ems, gidday [02:38] Wonder if I can save my guides as a .xcf [02:39] hey all I have a new ubuntu setup running at 100% cpu after startup. with gfvs and gnome do all going crazy [02:39] Dr_Willis: how can I fix the $DISPLAY setting from SSH then? [02:39] what's the 10.10 channel called? [02:39] fluvvell, how are you? I am afraid I do not think linux is right for me. just yet. :[ [02:39] 10.10 #ubuntu+1 [02:40] thanks trojan_spike [02:40] cyclone: You can try "export DISPLAY=:0.0" to try to have the window appear on the Ubuntu machine's screen. [02:40] oki [02:40] ems: totally depends on your needs i guess.. Got my stepson converted to linux, and the wife uses it 1/2 the time now also. :) [02:40] ems, fine thank you. There is usually quite a shock for people as they transfer in from another os. Most of it is unfamiliarity [02:40] ems, getting to know which applications do what === administrator is now known as Guest48576 [02:41] * Sherlock heads off to downgrade ubuntu to the stable [02:41] How come the network icon in the Notification Area is missing? [02:41] fluvvell, Dr_Willis, well it would be good i wouldnt mind it. I guess my family is the issue it isnt for me. Webcam through AIM (cause they dont know anything else) and 50 mile gaming [02:41] everything was using massive cpu apparently due to cario [02:42] Hello. [02:42] ems, you may find a web site like ubuntuguide.org has a lot of help. Did you download that book that was recommended? Whats 50mile gaming ? [02:42] Network_miss: alt+f2 > nm-applet > enter [02:42] fluvvell, hehe about that, I just mean he is only 12 and likes playing games with me on the internet [02:43] fluvvell, no i must of missed that. what book? [02:43] Question: Trying to get Ubuntu running on an old PIII 800MHz w 128 MB RAM. Not picky about having heavy graphics or capabilities, but at least a basic GUI would be nice. Any suggestions for how / what to install? [02:43] ems: we use skype these days. but if you are 'specific app focused' i guess that can be an issue.. [02:43] It says it's already running [02:43] zenkonami: try Lubuntu perhaps. [02:43] zenkonami: but its not as feature packed as ubuntu, but its useable. [02:44] !manual [02:44] The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [02:44] Thx Dr_Willis...will check it out. [02:44] Dr_Willis, it isnt me. my other family members dont know how to do anything except aim. :[ [02:44] zenkonami: lubuntu [02:44] !manual |ems [02:44] ems: please see above [02:44] cheers xangua [02:44] NM, thanks xangua [02:44] fluvvell, i see it thanks [02:44] ems: basically i dident give the family a choice. they trashed their widnows machines too many times with viruses and malware.. I just stopped fixing all the windows messups and put liux on their box's as an alternative.. then when they tashed their windows.. they had to use linux. :) [02:45] 有没有中国人? [02:45] !cn | Guest48576 [02:45] Guest48576: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道: #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [02:45] Damn you guys have a channel for those languages? [02:46] Its hard to teach people 'dont just install anything a web site pops up' :) at least not without some 'incentives' like losseing the pc use for a few days while it reinstalls.. [02:46] Dr_Willis: but, it says I get access to free porn.. :S [02:46] lol [02:46] lol [02:47] ems, he said there are no Chinese... [02:47] renedox: had a friend trash his windows box from a 'legit' web site that had him 'auto install a codec' - wasent porn it was wrestling.. :) [02:47] fluvvell, yes goto #ubuntu-cn [02:48] Dr_Willis: lol nice. Unfortunately, I used to work in customer service - tech support - and a customer actually used that line on me.. :S [02:48] lol renedox [02:49] 'and now you get to learn how to reinstall windows sir.....' [02:49] hahaha yeah, it's all fun and games till someone tries to access porn [02:49] Guest48576, Ubuntu 令中國非常高興 [02:49] I have created a PGP key and i got a encrypted mail in my gmail... how can i decode it ? [02:52] lucid lynx won't wake up after i close the laptop screen [02:52] Anyone help me how can i decode PGP mail in gmail i have fingerpring ? [02:52] niteshade, does it respond to the power button ? [02:53] nope, it seems like the whole system crashes because when the system does crash, pressing the power button always makes the battery light flash, and it does that [02:54] but it doesen't do that when i'm using kde, it just refuses to wake up without any feedback at all [02:54] I have created a PGP key and i got a encrypted mail in my gmail... how can i decode it ? or any way to decode in command prompt using gpg command ? i am using ubuntu 10.10 [02:54] I am having problems upgrading ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 [02:54] Can I ask questions in here? [02:55] Kendalja: you can. [02:55] kendalja: that's what its for [02:55] niteshade: any idea how to decode pgp gmail [02:56] Well I decided to update to 10.10 via Distribution Upgrade and the installer is stuck with 10 mins to go [02:56] i have got root control on ubuntu via live cd, anyone know how i can update the kernel from there? [02:56] has been that way for 1 hr now [02:56] um, i tried to figure out encryption a long time ago, but i got confused and stopped [02:56] ems, have you looked at kopete, gyache, or empathy? [02:56] What's the name of the app to share files with Windows? [02:57] fluvvell, yes, they do it but no support for aim. [02:57] if i were to try to figure out encryption then i would go the whole mile and work on long rsa keys [02:57] but that [02:57] fluvvell, unfortunately. the devs dont wanna do it either to my understanding. not sure why [02:57] 's just me [02:57] ems, err empathy supports aim - ? Are aim and yahoo not similar? [02:58] I need to report a bug, but idk what package it would be specified as? Its a non working card reader [02:58] fluvvell, they are two different protocals i think thought [02:58] Says installed xserver-xorg-input-mouse [02:58] and just sits there [02:58] fluvvel, you know about my problem? [02:58] Kendalja: Ubuntu Maverick support and discussion are in #ubuntu+1, not here. [02:58] fluvvell: They use different protocols [02:59] crucialhoax, thanks. [02:59] ems, meebo ? [03:00] crucialhoax: any idea how to decode a pgp message in ubuntu ? [03:00] fluvvell, isnt that a web interface? [03:00] what is the chkconfig equivalent in 10.04 ? i want to stop a couple of services that start at startup. [03:00] ems: yes, same is imo.im [03:00] of course there is no way the world of instant messaging can get their collective heads together and sort out a common secure protocol. [03:01] fluvvell: Jabber tried [03:01] I have created a PGP key and i got a encrypted mail in my gmail... how can i decode it ? [03:01] but adoption is quite low [03:01] ems, http://ubuntusite.com/meebo-webcam-and-voice-chat-im-support-for-linux/ [03:01] rajmahendra: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=728195 [03:02] Thank you :) [03:02] uhm, stupid floodbot is broken [03:02] fluvvel, well they do have much more important things to worry about than encryption, like making my computer not freeze [03:02] hello [03:02] I need to report a bug, but idk what package it would be specified as? Its a non working card reader [03:03] irc://irc.freenode.net/#mongodb [03:03] oops, excuse me [03:03] rajmahendra: No problem [03:03] could any body help, i've managed yesterday to get the mic and speakers working but the recording sound is terrible. would you know how to make the sound better? [03:03] Jabber never really got my attention, but now even facebook and gmail people sometimes try to chat. [03:04] fluvvell, that might actually work, but then there is the issue with my cousin who I play league of legends with. Wine does not support it. Ive tried. [03:04] fluvvell, so that one i am sol with as well :D [03:05] Jabber, I find, is quite a good protocol [03:05] yeah, facebook and gtalk uses it [03:05] Pidgin supports everything lol [03:05] mostly [03:05] yeah <3 pidgin [03:05] ^C05blah [03:05] crucialhoax, false [03:06] mostly... It supports quite a few different protocols. [03:06] crucialhoax, yes but no aim for webcam :D [03:06] ems, yeah well there is a bunch of clever gaming guys who seem to be able to run myriads of games but the learning curve is steep and not for the faint hearted. I told my kids, windows for bought games, linux for ALL else. [03:06] ems: it supports aim [03:07] xand, yes but not webcam [03:07] ems, I even had them disconnected from the internet under windows for some time. [03:07] hi, i've been able to disable most of the features available in the "right click" of the gnome panel, but the "about panels" and "help" are still there. Is there any way to get rid of these? [03:07] <|Sacred|> think he meant "no webcam for aim" [03:07] emesen supports webcam iirc [03:07] ems, is skype not a simple alternative ? [03:07] <|Sacred|> but I've never tried it, so I cannot comment [03:07] its free [03:07] <|Sacred|> skype is awesome [03:08] <|Sacred|> skype + pidgin == everything good [03:08] ems, you can chat and contact them with empathy/pidgin then webcam with skype if necessary [03:08] you know how, if in windows or DOS if you hold down ALT, then type in some numbers, and then release you'll get the character in ascii you just typed? How do you do it in linux? [03:14] hi all [03:14] yo [03:15] fluvvell, yes but thy dont know what skype is or how to use it. teaching them is like finding a needle in a barn [03:15] niteshade you can get ascii by using Charactrer Map under Accessories [03:16] guys what command would i run to find the mac address of my card [03:16] if and iwconfig do not show it [03:16] ifconfig ? [03:16] yeah. I just wanted a quicker way to make colored words on irc without right clicking the text box and going through menus [03:16] ah.... kewl kewl [03:17] it doesnt list it [03:17] lol [03:17] at no point does it list the mac address [03:17] ar0nic, ifconfig shows it on the right at the top [03:17] but it seems to have some kinda strange character that makes it do that [03:17] lol id love to see where mang [03:17] ar0nic, HWaddr [03:17] nope fluvvell [03:17] =| [03:17] im in backtrack btw [03:17] ar0nic, backtrack ? [03:17] '/msg zekopeko test' [03:17] but no i see both wlan1 and wlan0 [03:18] <[FKU]Greycloak> Need a little help with my ubuntu 9.10 install. Everytime I boot the screen goes black with a blinking cursor in the top left. If I reboot into recovery mode and repair grub, the system boots fine the next time around. [03:18] wlan1 and wlan0 [03:18] <[FKU]Greycloak> any idea why this might be happening? [03:18] ar0nic, which mac address do you need ? [03:18] neither have it [03:18] well the usb one [03:18] is there a visual grub2 editor for kubuntu? [03:18] nmot the onboard [03:18] ar0nic: like this HWaddr 00:17:42:3d:61:36 [03:18] i know what it looks like [03:18] but im not seeing it displaye dis what im saying [03:19] fluvvell, i will be back in a bit [03:19] Be back In A Bit [03:19] <[FKU]Greycloak> anyone? getting tired of repairing grub on every boot [03:20] ar0nic: Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr ....... thats it [03:20] [FKU]Greycloak: What happens if you just boot into recovery mode and reboot without repairing grub? [03:20] it says local loopback [03:20] <[FKU]Greycloak> good question [03:20] <[FKU]Greycloak> actually iirc it just goes back to the blinking cursor [03:20] iwconfig doesnt show it either [03:20] <[FKU]Greycloak> i had gotten desperate and tried the grub repair [03:21] <[FKU]Greycloak> and it works fine [03:21] <[FKU]Greycloak> for just that session [03:21] ar0nic: look for Ethernet HWaddr [03:21] dude [03:21] its not th ere [03:21] i promise lol [03:21] there has to be another command to pull up these devicezs [03:21] to get the proper mac [03:21] ar0nic: so how are you connecting to us? [03:23] ar0nic: ifconfig shows allMACs [03:23] lol [03:23] ok [03:23] its nto [03:23] i dunno why its not [03:23] im on a differenct pc [03:23] ar0nic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:23] im trying to use aircrack [03:23] i know the device is wlan1 [03:24] ar0nic: ifconfig shows allMACs [03:24] Offtopic, but Diaspora's source code was just released \o/ (with instructions for running it on Ubuntu :-) [03:24] ar0nic: have you checked in udev? [03:24] ar0nic: ifconfig wlan0? [03:25] jkazana: whats udev got to do with it? [03:25] as seen in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [03:26] i recentlt had to much with this to get the correct device order.. i duuno may not be ur prob [03:27] hi .. when I start byobu my font gets all weird and ugly and there is some encoding issue .. the line borders around the sliders in alsamixer for example are replaced with the ascented 'a' (with a ^ at the top) [03:27] does anyone know what could be wrong ? [03:27] I think it has to do with some locale/encoding issues .. but I don't know what [03:27] aronic, does the pc that has the wireless card have any other network access, ie could you paste the output of ifconfig to pastebin or paste.ubuntu.com ? [03:27] ar0nic, sorry ^^ [03:28] <[FKU]Greycloak> ar0nic: i dont suppose its a broadcom wireless? I can't get my laptop with a broadcom to connect wirelessly [03:28] I am using Gnome. I have messed with KDE and it has a feature I like 'ctrl + alt +bksp'. Is there a way to get that in Gnome? [03:28] ui got it thanks guys [03:29] hello... need some help with upgrading [03:29] <[FKU]Greycloak> lol...i still need help with my boot problem [03:29] <[FKU]Greycloak> 5th time asking today [03:29] !dontzap | NOMADICUS [03:29] NOMADICUS: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [03:30] hmm, maybe I should try the forums then =p [03:30] 5th time ? [03:30] Jesdisciple, its best to do a full installation.. upgrading can be dodgy .. [03:30] <[FKU]Greycloak> yes, i asked several times earlier today [03:30] <[FKU]Greycloak> got no answer [03:31] ar0nic: now you must explain how you got it [03:31] <[FKU]Greycloak> worked fine for the first two days [03:31] I don't have a CD burner available... [03:31] <[FKU]Greycloak> but now every time I reboot I need to repair grub to get it to boot again [03:31] thune3: got what? [03:31] [FKU]Greycloak: Where are you seeing a repair grub option? [03:32] serit: how he finally found the MAC address [03:32] do have a USB but wouldn't know how to use it to get my hard drive installed to [03:32] thune3: and that is? [03:32] <[FKU]Greycloak> jordanb: after booting into recovery mode === curtis is now known as Guest89379 [03:33] serit: i have zero idea what you are talking about, pm me if you wish to explain [03:33] <[FKU]Greycloak> which is the only thing on the grub menu that works [03:33] So how might I do a full install without a CD burner...? Or is it feasible? [03:33] <[FKU]Greycloak> symptom-wise it bears a resemblance to what people are complaining about with the upgrade to 10.04 [03:33] thune3: how did he find the MAC address? [03:33] [FKU]Greycloak: That option as far as I know just runs update-grub, which in turn just re-writes /boot/grub/grub.cfg. I don't see how the grub.cfg could be corrupted in a way that running update-grub would be required every boot. [03:34] how to reconn to tty pts/0 ? [03:34] <[FKU]Greycloak> all i know is that if i dont do it, the system doesnt boot [03:34] <[FKU]Greycloak> just hangs at a blank screen with a cursor [03:34] serit: yes that went on for 10 minutes, he said he found it, and didn't say how he found it. [03:34] hi im runing ubuntu on my samsung netbook everything is working perfect except i cant cahnge the brightness of the screen please help [03:34] [FKU]Greycloak: Can you try doing everything but selecting the update grub option to confirm that that is really what is fixing things? [03:34] <[FKU]Greycloak> sure, i'll be back in a minute or two [03:35] terminal to get kernel in use plz?? [03:35] [FKU]Greycloak: When you come back use my nick so that I notice. [03:35] Hello [03:35] I have a question for you guys [03:36] go ahead alexm, i'll try to help if i can [03:36] when ssh lose connection, how to reconnect to tty pts/0 ? [03:36] is there any other fireswalls enabled on a new linux install...we disabled iptables but still having a hard time resolving domain names using nslookup [03:36] from another box [03:36] but on the local box nslookup works fine for the same domains [03:36] thune3: ok so he never fount that mac address [03:37] hm, i think you know more than me [03:37] alexm [03:37] alexm: iptables is the only firewall for linux, everything is just a front end for iptables. [03:37] I need some help. Ym samsung netbook does not alow me to change the brightness of the screen [03:38] here is an example.. try to nslookup www.google.com using dns server: 204.15.197.60 [03:38] how can i add /usr/sbin/vgetty binary to startup? i'm aware that inittab isn't being used anymore. i've tried adding a script to /etc/init.d/ but that doesn't work either when i try "start vgetty" [03:38] i'm using 9.04 karmic [03:39] but when we nslookup on the local machine works fine === mindnull_ is now known as Scott_L [03:39] tells me has something to do with some firewall [03:39] with iptables I guess [03:39] <[FKU]Greycloak> ok, the grub repair isnt necessary [03:39] <[FKU]Greycloak> but the problem remains. [03:39] iptables is disabled [03:39] #gnucash [03:40] <[FKU]Greycloak> What I did: shut down ubuntu, rebooted...got the blinking cursor... [03:40] How do i change the brightness on my netbook power managament does not alow me to do this btw [03:40] <[FKU]Greycloak> powered down the computer and rebooted [03:40] <[FKU]Greycloak> got the grub menu and went to recovery [03:40] <[FKU]Greycloak> selectewd resume normal boot [03:40] <[FKU]Greycloak> did a sudo reboot from the terminal [03:40] <[FKU]Greycloak> system booted fine next time aroun [03:41] <[FKU]Greycloak> every reboot does this [03:41] I am experiencing random crashes of my x server and suddenly I'm back to the login screen, [03:41] Guest89379, try taking a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1313390 [03:41] this is my log [03:41] bonobo-activation-server (humberto-2152): could not associate with desktop session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-DJQupecJxC: Conexión rechazada [03:41] hi, how do i stop an upstart job from starting automatically?

[03:43] kjbbb: the best way to stop gdm from starting is to add "text" to grub line, this way you can still run "start gdm" if you want X.

[04:15] explain waht is ur double [04:15] rapage: i don't think you can change fs formats, even just ext3->ext4, without formatting the disk [04:16] erm, partition [04:16] Hi. [04:16] tomato, crond , maybe [04:16] rapage: https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto [04:16] http://pastie.org/1162060 [04:16] Does anyone know how to fix that? [04:16] oh my goodness! for anyone else wondering how to add a binary to startup in ubuntu 9+, add a script to /etc/init [04:16] rapage: in fact, now that i think about it, when i installed ubuntu a while back (9.10 i think), i made my home dir ext4. it was already ext3. it formatted it. [04:16] wahby: Try re-installing grub following this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [04:16] rapage: and i doubt it's changed since then :) [04:17] And ? [04:17] i will read that [04:17] luclucluc2010, one sec [04:17] rapage: if there's some feature in ext4 that you just *have* to have, i recommend backing up the partition and formatting the drive ext4 [04:17] think you [04:17] okok [04:18] According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/USB I need to add myself to the vboxusers group, but this group does not exist <.< [04:18] Raptors: try to run the command with "sudo" prefixed [04:18] luclucluc2010, there's this ... http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7067812&postcount=3 .. where he says "put in the followng", you put all that into a vgetty.conf file instead and then once you have that .. you can call "sudo start vgetty" [04:18] rapage: It should either complain or mount your ext3 partition as ext4. If it mounts your ext3 partition as ext4 then any files written from then on will use ext4 features. [04:19] phoenix_, I tried that same prob. [04:19] how do i set /home/user/public_html/ instead of /var/www/ as root folder in apache2? [04:19] luclucluc2010, you put the conf file in /etc/init instead of the old way, /etc/event.d/ [04:19] rapage: beyond the instructions in the Ext4_Howto (tune2fs parameter adding, and fsck), it is recommended to run fsck.ext3 on your partition beforehand to make sure it is clean. [04:20] luclucluc2010, i found that /etc/event.d/ is no longer used from the release notes .. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicKoala/ReleaseNotes [04:20] ok [04:20] SuperMiguel: i'm usually lazy with it, and just make a link to ~/public_html from /var/www [04:20] Raptors: set read/write permissions for those directories for the current user [04:20] SuperMiguel: i'm sure there's a line in the apache config files to do it properly, though [04:20] Ah. [04:20] ceil420, what exactly you do? [04:21] hi when using the .Private home directory in lucid, do you lose half the space? I have a /home partiton of 52G and it shows as almost full from df -h. yet when I do a du -shc in the users directory they have only used 25G [04:21] Must something wrong. [04:21] SuperMiguel: cd /var ; sudo ln -s /home/ceil/www . [04:21] I guess the /home/.ecryptfs is where the other 25G is. [04:22] Marine is gaming. !gameinfo for more info. [04:22] SuperMiguel: (i guess in your case, it'd be /home/user/public_html instead, and then mv public_html www) [04:23] phoenix_, they are set to read/write. [04:23] I'm back from the game! [04:23] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/68904 [04:24] Is that what you want ?

[04:25] luclucluc2010, once i used /etc/init, everything worked fine [04:25] Great [04:25] have a nice day.

[05:10] dont worry [05:11] all three i listen to have flash players [05:11] has anyone run into the error "bad page state swapper" or something? [05:11] i guess only online radio tend to have .pls [05:11] thecdggseries: try http://soma.fm for some interesting streaming stations [05:11] i'm running 10.04 lts 64 bit [05:11] or m3u!!!! [05:12] thecdggseries: yeah, m3u, srry [05:12] thecdggseries: either way, with a stream URL [05:12] me too [05:12] thune3 no sound on flash after in i am using alsa? [05:13] gnoobuntu, how do i go to the #español channel [05:14] is in opera net [05:14] hi guys im trying to install a game and i keep getting this error that it cant find the packet [05:14] I think [05:15] maybe the adress is gwrong [05:15] There's a router cd that I'm trying to use. I try to run setup.exe in wine and it says it's not executable. but when i chmod it it says the disc is read only [05:15] the game im trying for is megaglist [05:15] Question i unistalled pulse audio and installed alsa, everything is working fine expect flash, do i have manually configure something is so what? [05:16] ok, i see whats at the heart of my problem, a 301 redirect that shouldnt be happening (local dev box setup, 8.04 LTS). anyone around that can help me debug it? [05:17] twoshot_: if it's a setup cd, you could probably do it without the CD [05:17] can anyone help me with a kernel error? [05:17] Datz, by going to 192.168.0.1 or something [05:17] ? [05:17] twoshot_: yea [05:17] I'm having a problem with Adobe Flash Player wanting to crash every time I load Firefox, Anyone know what could be doing this? [05:17] twoshot_: run "ifconfig" [05:18] Datz, for what reason [05:18] I don't have access to the machine [05:18] gotta call my bro [05:18] thecdggseries: the #spanish for ubuntu? [05:18] or in general? [05:18] Nautilus: what is the issue, missed it. [05:18] twoshot_: to the router? [05:18] thecdggseries: you type "/join #channelname" [05:18] the computer or the router [05:18] hey all [05:18] its my brothers [05:18] guess what [05:18] thune3: thanks anyway :) [05:19] para español es #Ubuntu-es [05:19] goobuntu, i think is in another network [05:19] twoshot_: oh.. well I don't know what you were trying to accoplish then [05:19] thecdggseries: "/join #ubuntu-es" seba says [05:19] Datz, I'm trying to help him out [05:19] what should I get from ifconfig [05:19] thecdggseries: freenode is the best network: wikipedia, wikimedia, gnu, fsf, ubuntu... [05:19] opera? [05:19] opera browser? [05:19] opera que? [05:20] greezmunkey: been narrowing it down. A few days ago I was playing with a RewriteRule in the dirs of one vhost, thats all gone now and I made a new vhost, and for some reason it's doing a redirect [05:20] yes opera browser [05:20] not sure [05:20] well find out [05:20] I wiil [05:20] Datz, doesn't ifconfig just output info [05:20] twoshot_: can you bring up the router's page? [05:20] they are on irc.opera.com [05:20] it looks like [05:20] you mean the ip? [05:20] twoshot_: I was going to help you find the gateway [05:21] ah ok [05:21] I might be able to [05:21] let me call my brother on skype [05:21] thecdggseries: in which case its "/server irc.opera.com" and then "/join #opera" [05:21] twoshot_: what is the problem anyway? [05:21] this is weird [05:22] Nautilus: it almost sounds like an artifact, or remnant. Did you create a new vhost from scratch, or copy the bones of it from another? [05:22] he needs to set up his router to get wireless === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:22] Datz, ifconfig shows only eth0 lo === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest64541 [05:23] greezmunkey: yea ilke something is stuck in cache or similar. The vhost is pretty much from scratch, same way I've done it 10x before on this box and those all work. [05:23] twoshot_: run "route" find gateway there [05:23] is it hard to install bin ? [05:23] greezmunkey: one PM ok? [05:23] It gives four lines Datz [05:23] * gverig is trying out Empathy... and doesn't get the point. Why is this better than pidgin? The chat bubbles? [05:24] Nautilus: set up wireshark, then access the vhost. You can also filter if needed. The trace should show you what you need to know. [05:24] i can see the problem with the output of wget [05:24] the question is WHY is it doing it [05:24] twoshot_: you see more than one gateway? [05:25] gverig: pidgin might have more options/features than someone needs; thats my guess. i wouldnt say its "better" [05:25] hi i am looking for a driver for my dell 810 printer "all in one". does anybody know of one or a compatiable driver? [05:25] yeah [05:25] greezmunkey: ^ [05:25] yesss [05:26] twoshot_: there shouldn't be [05:26] I Am on it [05:26] Datz, there are four for the interface eth0 [05:26] try them one at a time [05:26] thanks gnoobuntu [05:26] the ip? [05:26] on the far left? [05:26] Nautilus: donno, what does wget show? [05:26] twoshot_: under gateway [05:26] thecdggseries: no problem. hopefully it doesnt seem too complicated [05:26] gnoobuntu: my point is, I don't believe (or don't see) that empathy adds much and definitely not enough to switch what everybody is used to. Again, maybe I'm missing something... [05:27] hehehe [05:27] it goes for the file fer vhost folder triggers an unwanted 301 redirect, from something I played with a couple days ago and deleted (different vhost) [05:27] gverig: well, empathy is default on ubuntu right? [05:27] fer=per* [05:27] gateway says star Datz [05:27] * [05:27] under three of them [05:27] gverig: I believe it adds video support for some protocols, that is my guess as to why ubuntu switched default IM [05:27] and like BYSDGSL under the last one [05:28] gnoobuntu: now it is, since 10.04 IIRC. Before Pidging was. I just don't get why the switch... [05:28] twoshot_: then use the one with the number [05:28] anybody familiar with virtual box? [05:28] gverig: good question. especially considering pidgin is cross-platform [05:29] i don't know. i haven't installed pidgin over empathy though since i upgraded to 10.04 [05:29] apparently my brother was told not to plug in his router until its setup Datz [05:29] because i dont use any of those protocols really [05:29] greezmunkey: instead of just retrieving the file from the folder specified in the vhost, it does a 301 redirect. I played with redirects a couple days ago but that should all now be deleted, started with a2dissite and took it all out. [05:29] gnoobuntu: I have. Wanted to try empathy now that I'm on 10.10... will install Pidgin back as soonaas I'm done with this chat :) [05:29] i need some startup advice for running a vista partition in virtual box [05:30] gnoobuntu: I don't care about protocols, Pidgin has cleaner interface, IMO [05:30] twoshot_: sounds like your brother knows how to set it up. [05:30] not in the least lol [05:30] trust me [05:30] gverig: hard to argue with you. pidgin is great [05:30] twoshot_: what kind of internet connection do you have there? [05:30] Does anyone here have some good know-how on dovecot? The #dovecot channel is dead. [05:31] twoshot_: as in DSL, Cable..etc [05:31] gnoobuntu: Chat bubbles just waste space, especially in IRC. And Pidgin has a better interface in terms of highlighting lines where your nick is mentioned, highlighting tabs with new info, etc. [05:31] pidgin it is then :) thanks gnoobuntu :) [05:31] gverig: use naim and irssi! [05:31] cheers! [05:31] your welcome [05:31] he doesn't know. probably dsl [05:31] its a college [05:31] irssi ftw [05:31] a&m to be exact [05:31] irssi+1 [05:32] greezmunkey: oh hm, I wonder... is there a way to clear dns cache? [05:32] gnoobuntu: I like having IMs in the same windows as IRC. [05:32] twoshot_: ok, If it were cable I would tell you just to plug it in and it might work.. otherwise.. you'll need more info to set it up. [05:32] :/ [05:32] gnoobuntu: why is iirssi better than pidgin (what are the advantages?)? [05:32] Nautilus: actually, I was thinking that perhaps the issue is in your browser. Can you clear all cache, cookie, tec - and try again? [05:32] llinksys wireless G access point. WAP54G [05:33] what's the default smtp server in ubuntu? [05:33] greezmunkey: did all that in FF. The thing is, wget shows the issue too. [05:33] gverig: it runs in the console/terminal so its super tiny and fast w/o a gui [05:33] gnoobuntu: tried finch? [05:33] and is there a way to tell which smtp server my ubuntu server is using? [05:33] Datz: nope [05:33] gnoobuntu: oh :) [05:33] gnoobuntu: it's pidgin with text interface [05:33] need help with a laptop touchpad [05:33] Datz: you recommend it? [05:34] gverig: http://paradoxdgn.com/junk/irssi.jpg [05:34] gnoobuntu: I used it, but I don't use other IM protocols anymore, so I just use irssi, and some gui client when necessary for other protocols [05:34] Nautilus: OK then, that would be about right... A 301 redir should only exist as the browser reads the page... something like that wouldn't register in DNS... [05:34] can virtual box boot to my the vista install on my other drive, or do i have to create a new boot image? [05:34] gnoobuntu: but otherwise, yes, it was great when I used it [05:34] check it out [05:35] balleyne, postfix is the recommended MTA on Ubuntu. [05:35] Nautilus: Are you using squid? [05:35] can't log into my laptop, it don't reconize the touchpad or my usb mouse [05:35] porter1: thanks [05:35] greezmunkey: not unless its default, I believe no [05:35] bbl [05:36] gnoobuntu: nice :) Cheers, I'm off to removing Empathy [05:36] Nautilus: Squid can act like that, as it can cache pages. Check it out. [05:36] greezmunkey: but i wouldnt mind clearing DNS cache and similar if it's easy enough [05:36] dont want to cache pages [05:36] hi gm [05:38] greezmunkey: synaptic shows squid not installed, and its not like it's caching pages, it's like a 301 redirect has gone wild and is stuck in the system [05:38] * brandon420 is away: i shall return laterz [05:39] Nautilus: see if this helps on the DNS thing, but I really don't think that is it. Checking a few things... [05:39] Nautilus: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/how-to-flush-dns-cache-178589/ [05:39] lookin === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy [05:40] hi [05:40] hi [05:40] I installed vino but i still cannot login to vnc, what else do i need ? [05:41] !vnc | kalle_ [05:41] kalle_: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [05:41] hi [05:42] !freenx [05:42] FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [05:43] noob question.. i changed the name of the user name on the computer.. how do i change the home folder name to match it? === Ripp_ is now known as Ripp3 [05:43] Does anyone in here know if there is a standalone app with the same or at least similar functionality to the clip in the WindowMaker GUI? [05:43] one line spam? [05:44] Nautilus: check this...http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html - Do you have any of this configured? [05:44] the other url, thats ancient stuff [05:44] aionys, what you want to do? [05:44] Nautilus: I know, sometimes useful though... [05:45] does anyone know about laptop touchpads?????? [05:45] I want to use the WindowMaker GUI, instead of GNOME, KDE, etc., but with compositing support. [05:45] greezmunkey: no proxying or anything. its a bare 8.04 LTS that I just make a vhost and matching hosts entry for, points to a dir where I do local web dev work. [05:45] sinman: they are evil [05:46] hm i need to install the x11vnc to make vnc work ? and also connect from the server ? I want to use it to remote admin servers here, I have several servers and not enough keybards, also i dont want long cables [05:46] Blue1: that might be, but my laptop not reconizing the touchpad or a mouse at the lofgin screen [05:46] Nautilus: sorry then, not much help here I'm afraid. Nice chatting, I hope you find a solution. [05:46] is freenx better suited at this [05:46] kalle_: what's wrong with ssh? [05:46] ssh doesnt support x11 [05:46] The WindowMaker GUI is based on NextSTEP, and consists of a dock (which is easy to get, like GNOME-Do's Docky), and a clip (which I can't find). [05:46] sometimes i want guis also [05:47] kalle_: no, but xterm does [05:47] greez: well thanks for trying! Do you know a better channel to ask? Mebbe try #httpd again [05:47] Blue1: how can i get it to work or even a mouse to work on the login screen [05:47] is xterm like ssh buth with graphics ? [05:48] The clip is basically the same thing as a dock, in that you can attach launchers and dockapps to it, but you can also hide the things attached, and the clip is per workspace, unlike the dock, which shows the same thing on all workspaces. [05:48] I want to be able to do anything i can locally but remotely, atleast on my local lan [05:48] sinman: have you tried the live cd? sounds like an x problem. [05:49] ubuntu for a server, is it good? [05:49] kalle_: well xterm is a terminal emulator [05:49] my isp won't offer debian, only ubuntu on this machine [05:49] i use ubuntu for desktop [05:49] kalle_: but I administer all the machines I need to, with ssh [05:49] Blue1: thats what i used to install with, I check it out first doing the live disk and it work fine, it wasn't after i installed it is when it's not responding [05:50] sinman: can you pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf please [05:51] Blue1: using my desktop to chat in irc since i can't log into my laptop [05:51] k [05:51] sinman: k [05:51] * Blue1 thinks [05:52] So, no one knows? [05:52] sinman: what kind of laptop is it? (manufacturer/model number?) [05:52] I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop using a USB stick. When I boot from usb and attempt start the install it shows the Ubuntu logo and scrolling dots for a min but then it freezes. I've verified the md5 on my download is correct, is there anything else I can do? [05:53] aionys, if you want dock then try cairo dock [05:53] Blue1: compaq presario CQ60, i done try the FN F7 and it didn't work [05:53] No. CLIP\ [05:53] farang: could a bad memory stick. try it on another machine if you can. [05:53] dunno. [05:53] abhijit: I have a dock. I need the clip. [05:53] hmm [05:53] sinman: should like an old machine [05:53] i dont know what clip is. sorry [05:54] !hcl | blue1 [05:54] Blue1, please see my private message [05:54] Blue1: thats what i thought [05:55] hey [05:55] im having issues compiling a java file to a jar using jogl. javac cannot find a lot of symbols [05:55] arora keeps me signing out of gmail. is this bug? any help? [05:55] abhijit: The clip is basically the same thing as a dock, in that you can attach launchers and dockapps to it, but you can also hide the things attached, and the clip is per workspace, unlike the dock, which shows the same thing on all workspaces. [05:55] sinman: it's not listed in the hcl, but it might be an xorg.conf problem [05:55] !log [05:55] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [05:56] Blue1: should i just reinstall [05:56] aionys, have you tried cairo dock? i remember something cairo does the same give it a try [05:56] Hello, I just did a native Maverick Beta install and mid-install it offered to download updates during the install, instructed me to choose my wireless network but no networks were shown (plenty were in the area and the switch was on :P ) what do I bug against ubuntu-bug ubuntu? [05:56] I'll look, but I doubt it's anything like a clip. [05:57] sinman: it is worth a try. I am looking at http://www.linlap.com/wiki/hp-compaq+presario+cq60 atm [05:57] aionys, give a try if you dont like you can uninsatll it. [05:58] Blue1: k i'll take a look there also [05:58] sinman: you arey trying to install oh 10.04 yes? [05:58] That's what i meant when I said I'd look. :) [05:58] ok [05:58] sinman: one question - did the problem occur after install, or after running updates? [05:59] thanks. [05:59] Blue1: first is it has amd sempron in it, and to answer your question this is a fresh install doing side by side with windows 7 === [styx] is now known as styx|brb [06:01] sinman all my mahcines, sans netbook have amd semprons in them [06:01] sinman: verify you got a good download (md5sum) and try again... [06:02] running 9.10 now... wow, the updates take forever [06:02] I do, I used this disk for other computers, this is the first time using the disk for a laptop [06:04] sinman: okay I'd try it again. [06:04] sinman: YMMV applies === Blue1 is now known as Blue1Away [06:05] Blue1: k [06:05] very sad. 10.04.1 does NOT work with PCMCIA [06:05] just an fyi -- ivanrad is up and running. been a long day [06:05] Can I install UNR and give it a really small partition of my drive to simulate a lower-performing netbook? [06:05] Blue1: how can i find out if the processor is 63bit or not, even though it has windows 7 64bit in it [06:05] muhoo: says who? [06:05] pcmcia cards just show up with MANFID=0000,0000 [06:06] sinman: hang on [06:06] Blue1Away: debian lenny, works. older distros with 2.4 kernels, also work [06:06] something in 2.6.32 is broken, a regression in yenta socket probably [06:06] sinman: try: if grep -q ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo; then echo "is 64 bits"; else "No luck "; fi [06:07] muhoo: I have no issue with an old compaq desktop [06:07] Blue1Away: a desktop with pcmcia? [06:08] pcmcia is a laptop thing [06:08] muhoo: okay I don't own a laptop === styx|brb is now known as [styx] [06:08] i tried frankensteining it by installing an older 2.6.26 kernel, but 10.04.1 requires a bunch of new crap in 2.6.32 apparently, udev, etc [06:08] not sure what-all but it's very different [06:08] Blue1: k wrote it down, gonna boot the laptop with the live disk and check that first before i do a rinstall [06:09] i hate when "upgrades" turn into downgrades because they break for no good reason. [06:09] muhoo: i was thinking pci - my bad. [06:09] Blue1Away: np. yeah, pci is always solid, never had trouble in 10 years of linux, AFAICR [06:11] pcmcia is getting to be old legacy hardware like 5.25 floopy [06:11] okay off [06:11] buzzard32: yes. my desktop does NOT have a floppy. [06:13] yes, and i have old legacy hardware :-/ [06:13] PCMCIA is a good bit more useful than 5.25" floppies... [06:13] a laptop. it has a pcmcia interface, like every laptop did between 1997 and like 2007 [06:14] happily, i was able to plug in a weird rtl8187a usb wifi card, and it came right up. but i guess those are tomorrow's legacy hardwares :-) [06:14] Though not since it became standard issue for laptops to have Wifi cards. [06:15] not wifi cards, a wifi chip, usually, atheros or other software-based radio [06:15] hi, anyone who can help with "Minimal bash shell..." screen at startup? [06:15] is lives is an kde or gnome ap? [06:15] Well, they're removable through a slot. [06:16] maybe 10.04.1 is missing some kind of legacy PNP stuff that the PCMCIA requires? === fratz_afk is now known as fratz [06:16] morning! [06:16] IIRC, PCMCIA uses ISA interrupts, at least the 16bit cards do [06:16] 32bit cardbus cards use PCI [06:17] grasber: It sounds like you are booting into a rescue shell [06:17] grasber: Probably this is due to boot errors [06:20] crap. apparently i'm not the only one with this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/397242 [06:21] and what does "expired" mean?! come on, fix it! [06:21] expired? [06:22] i will have to try this apport thing [06:22] join #swig [06:23] this bug has existed in TWO previous ubuntu releases, still not fixed [06:23] last working ubuntu was 8.10, apparently [06:23] unable to get package name for xVideoServiceThief any one knows? [06:23] that's a pretty long regression [06:24] and, at least 3 other people have reported having the same problem too. result appears to be *shrug* [06:25] very odd. used to be, that old hardware worked BETTER in linux than in other os'es. nowadays, seems to be the other way around [06:26] any fatrat alternate for gnome? [06:26] brb [06:28] will try kernel mainline [06:28] muhoo: It is odd that you do not feel as a member of the Ubuntu community and are contributing to fix this bug. [06:29] bullgard4: well, what can i do? the whole pcmcia and yenta subsystems are massive, it's not like i'm going to be able to devote years to understanding them well enough to fix regression bugs [06:30] muhoo: Observe carefully and report your careful observations to Launchpad. [06:30] best i can do is try the apport thing, try the mainline kernels, and see if i can bifurcate it by brute force [06:31] opa [06:31] bullgard4: will do. i am discouraged that several years worth of other folks careful observations on launchpad appear to not helped [06:31] Hi everybody how i can capture video in my tv card with ffmpeg ??? [06:32] muhoo: Me too. Still, I am reporting. [06:33] how come it say i ain't got permission to use wine and playonlinux on ubuntu [06:35] how do you play windows game like civ3 and age of empires on ubuntu [06:35] can someone give me a direct download URL for the .iso?

You want to count characters or words in a file? or you want to count a specific word in a file? [08:40] ldvx: a word [08:40] * turillian turillius [08:41] ldvx: a specific word === turillian is now known as turillius [08:41] !rar [08:41] 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 [08:41] toader: if it's only a word then do what maedox said [08:41] ldvx: wc "CSV2DB" 3XL_NewN3Parser_mp.log [08:42] toader execute this $ cat filename.txt | grep -i 'yourword' | wc -l [08:42] mungustas, useless use of cat ;) [08:42] is there a way in ubuntu to say: "grab me this package, but have it compiled with debug symbols" ? [08:43] Yes, cat is useless there. What maedox said is much better :D [08:43] shad: yes, big help. didnt think it would just be a driver thing... [08:43] well yeah :) [08:43] that will be problematic if the word occurs more than once on a given line [08:43] for what its worth [08:45] ldvx: http://dpaste.com/244286/ [08:45] hello everyone, my mouse pointer disappears when i login but after i press alt+ctrl+f1 and again come back to alt+ctrl+f7 it starts working. Anyone knows how to fix it... [08:46] How can I turn off all the notifications for people joining/signingoff? [08:46] quiescens, you are right. there should be a -o option to grep that will fix it. :) [08:47] toader, grep -io 'word' filename | wc -l [08:47] turil right click the channel tab select settings and hide join/parts [08:47] toader: 41 times [08:47] dsfas, did you upgrade kernels? sometimes mouse cursors dissapear ater kernel upgrade so to fix it you need to reinstall graphic driver [08:47] >kalle> I'm using ircii, no gui. [08:48] toader: the | they are using is not a line separater, it is a special character (usually shift+\ on US layout keyboards) [08:48] toader: grep -io 'CSV2DB' 3XL_NewN3Parser_mp.log [08:48] toader: grep -io 'CSV2DB' 3XL_NewN3Parser_mp.log | wc -l [08:49] Hi itry to get my webcam to work in lucid working with SKYPE,in chees it works already [08:49] "env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype" this gives me that error ->ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. [08:50] * Cantide is back again [08:50] Yes, i did upgraded kernel. new kernel dont have such problem but the ubunut version of kernel is causing this problem, well can you tell my how to reinstall graphic driver... [08:51] is it safe to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst ? [08:52] !grub2 | Cantide [08:52] Cantide: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [08:52] hehe [08:52] okay, reading up on it now :D [08:53] canthus13, No, not if you are using grub2. [08:53] canthus13, sorry, wrong nick. [08:53] Cantide, No, not if you are using grub2. [08:53] oh, i'm using ubuntu 9.04, so i think i don't have grub2 [08:55] hello [08:56] how do i find my audio and video device? [08:56] Cantide, man grub will probably tell you the version on the top there [08:56] hello ... wow. Lots of people... what do I use as a console-based (i.e. runs in a Terminal/konsole) mpd player? [08:56] irc.rizon.net [08:56] Can anyone help me turn off joins/parts/quits? I'm using ircII. No luck on google so far. [08:56] I'm trying to diagnose why sonata isn't playing any music, but all other sound works fine. [08:56] grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97) [08:56] So, I'm having an issue. Anyone know how I can do something like move unallocated space from /dev/sdb2 to /dev/sdb1 with gparted? [08:58] My gparted looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/0dCnn.png [08:58] Cantide, that's the old one, so you have to edit menu.lst to change the menu entries. [08:58] I want to merge the two grey areas [08:58] hi all - does anyone know a good font converter for linux? [08:59] Pengu1: I don't believe u can resize without formatting [08:59] I would have to format the entire drive? [09:00] maedox: i'm doing that now, i'm just worried i'll mess it up :p [09:00] no, just the partitions to be resized [09:00] I'm just removing an entry ( windows is no longer there ) [09:00] you'd actually have to delete and recreate them afaik [09:00] I don't need to resize them. I need to create a new partition with both the unallocated spaced, but it won't let me. [09:00] I've deleted both of them, they're unallocated. [09:00] It won't let me make one partition out of both of them, though. [09:00] o, one of the partitions dvides the unallocated space [09:01] I think that partition that's in the middle must be deleted as well [09:01] as I understand it a partition must be composed of contiguous memory [09:01] Delete /dev/sdb2? [09:01] Cantide, just don't change to much at a time, make a backup and have a live-cd handy. [09:01] I guess... I don't see ur partition table =p [09:01] too* [09:01] maedox: good idea, thanks [09:02] http://i.imgur.com/0dCnn.png [09:02] mind u [09:02] here [09:02] I'm no guru [09:02] Hey, I'm trying to boot up into 10.10 live (64-bit) but I keep getting "no signal" on my monitor before it gets to the menu where I select install/try. I think this might have something to do with my Radeon 5850? [09:02] hello.. has anyone used osslinux (opensound) on ubuntu? [09:02] I didn't no 10.10 was out... [09:02] Beta [09:03] I had the same problem when I wanted to try 10.04 [09:03] Gareth__, ubuntu+1 [09:03] was 10./04 beta at the time? [09:03] how to stop service in ubuntu TLS during boot time ? [09:03] No [09:03] This was in June [09:03] I [09:03] I'm trying 10.10 today though [09:04] testing it now, brb ( hopefully ) [09:04] dubey: there are a couple method, and it depends on the service. what service? [09:04] Gareth__, well try downloading the alternative and try fixing your video then\ [09:04] Alternative? [09:05] Gareth__, yeah the alternative disk. [09:05] does anyone know of a site where people show off their desktop designs / layouts / customisations? [09:05] thune3: cupsd [09:05] Can you give me a link to the download? [09:06] Gareth__, but you should google ati the card and see if there is a good driver for it. [09:06] But how do I load a driver for it if I can't get into Linux> [09:06] dubey, sudo update-rc.d -f servicename remove [09:07] Gareth__, http://www.ubuntulinux.org/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download [09:07] Thanks [09:07] dubey, you will loose print capabilities, but I guess you know that. :) to add it back: update-rc.d servicename defaults [09:07] maedox: and how to view [09:07] dubey, how to view what? [09:07] Gareth__, should google ati and your card and see what it says about ubuntu. [09:08] maedox: I means how to view that which services is on during boot process [09:08] maedox: E.g chkconfig --list servicesname [09:09] dubey, good question. Can't remember the option. man update-rc.d [09:09] dubey, they are all links in /etc/rc#.d/ where # is runlevel. 0 1 6 are down, 2 3 4 5 are up. [09:10] maedox: it means update-rc.d is the command just like chkconfig, right ? [09:11] dubey, yeah, it's for the same purpose. [09:11] Good evening, everyone. [09:11] syn-ack, evening? it's morning here. a good one to you too. :) [09:12] maedox: thanks [09:12] '< [09:12] works like a charm, just cut out a whole bunch of lines after the ubuntu ones [09:12] maedox: well, it's 112 here but I've not slept yet so it's still night for me. :P [09:19] Can anyone help me with Ubuntu 64bit and Flashplugin? [09:19] go to 32bit [09:19] go die [09:19] !64 [09:19] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [09:19] red: just fucking with you :) [09:20] rlankfo: drop that language now [09:20] red: drop that attitude also [09:20] ikonia: it was a fitting reply for a stupid joke :) [09:20] abhijit: i'll check those thanks [09:20] red: no - it is totally unacceptable, please don't do it again [09:21] ikonia: it would be totally unacceptable if I ment it literally which is not the case obviously [09:21] ikonia: absolutely, thought this was efnet [09:21] red: it's unacceptable to joke around in that way, so please, don't [09:22] helllo [09:22] i was wondering if anyone has any experience with dells and ubuntu 64 bit [09:22] Guest89245: what's the issue [09:22] Guest89245: like what? [09:23] been trying to get the wifi to work with the Hardware Drivers [09:23] Guest89245: ok, where is it failing [09:24] when i right click on the network connections it "Enabled Wireless" is greyed out [09:24] ikonia: I might be nitpicking now, but following the channels rules stated in the topic do stress being friendly, but unless that line is taken out of context it is not unfriendly imo, since it's an obvious oneliner joke [09:25] Guest89245: Gotta install the kernel module for it then [09:25] red: I started off asking you, so now I'll tell you, it's unacceptable, please don't do it again [09:25] it didn't include foul language etc. [09:25] I have restarted the computer and every thing the last time i used ubuntu, which was in in 9.04 all i had to do was install the drivers, restart and it worked perfectly [09:25] what type of card does it have in it, Guest89245 [09:25] how do you install the kernel module [09:26] Guest89245: you should just need to go to the system->administration->hardwaredrivers tool to enable it [09:26] answer my question. What brand of of wifi card does it have in it? [09:26] ikonia: you did not start off by asking either, your attitude actually felt quite unfriendly and abusive regarding the matter not being in any way serious. but fair enough, this is going way offtopic so I'll drop it. [09:26] syn-ack: normally a broadcom on the dells [09:26] thank you [09:26] broadcom [09:26] ikonia: that's what I was thinking but but wasnt sure [09:26] 43 series [09:27] ikonia: will jokey handle the firmware for that on it's own? [09:27] does ubuntu STILL have issues with bc43xx cards? [09:27] s/ubuntu/linux perhaps? [09:27] red: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras <------ i've been using flash, no prob,... it'll also give you a few restricted codecs too.... as far as 64 bit flash,... i think it's been discontinued [09:27] Guest89245: you're going to have to use ndiswrapper [09:27] select * from tables [09:28] Guest89245: should be plenty of howtos for you on the ubuntu forums [09:28] syn-ack: the hardware drivers tool should do it [09:28] syn-ack: as in do it all for you [09:28] !bcm43xx [09:28] hi [09:28] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [09:28] collabra: yeah I know it's been discontinued, but I attempted using a 32bit version of chrome and it still did not recognize the 32bit adobe plugin installed (even thought Firefox did). got restricted extras installed, thanks thought [09:28] didn't Broadcomm drivers go open source recently? [09:29] Guest89245: open a console for me and in it type sudo jockey-gtk [09:29] red: ndiswrapper,... then [09:29] Guest89245: That'll start the tool ikonia was talking about it [09:29] perhaps, argh [09:29] red: doesn't chrome look in a different place for the library ? [09:29] syn-ack: he shouldn't need to, the hardware drivers tool should do it for him [09:30] just brought me to the hardware drivers screen for propiertary [09:30] ikonia: that IS the hardware drivers tool [09:30] syn-ack: right, so why are you launching it like that [09:30] I have a piece of software (midori) that I want to download, compile and install myself. I know perfectly fine how to do this without package manager and have the app in my path. Catch: I have no idea how to do this so that I can also start the app from the GNOME menu and gnome-do, it having a nice icon etcetera. Where can I read about this? [09:30] ikonia: it's quicker [09:31] http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/205258/linux_wifi_gets_easier_with_new_broadcom_driver.html?tk=hp_new [09:31] ikonia: Then again, I usually always have an xterm open and lurking somewhere [09:31] ipw2200user: yeah, but that's not going to be in the kernel until around .37 or so [09:32] ipw2200user: Heck, it's still in staging [09:32] thanks syn-ack [09:32] ipw2200user: for? [09:32] is there any Ubuntu-hacker here familiar with setting up multiple VLAN's for use with NetworkManager? [09:33] I have a broadcom machine myself running win7 syn-ack [09:33] ah [09:33] Good to know what is happening [09:33] ipw2200user: ah, yeah, don't expect it to be in mainline kernel for at least another 6 - 8 months... maybe even longer... [09:34] i'm trying to find out if a string contains a certain word with a shell script, how that could be accomplished ? [09:34] too bad :-/ [09:34] jhattara: i would try and use regex [09:35] that is regular expressions [09:35] jfer, yeah, but how ? [09:35] jhattara: if [[ $string = *word* ]]; then ... [09:35] hey i am back [09:36] ikonia: I've tried to create the plugins dir for chrome aswell, copying libflashplayer.so there and starting chrome with --enable-plugins but did not help yet [09:36] same guest as earlier dont know if that name changed [09:36] jhattara: jhattara here's something that'll help you: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/regexp.html [09:36] red: why are you even bothering with that? Chrome has flash built in [09:36] interestingly enough, http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ tells me "Your Google Chrome browser already includes the latest Adobe Flash Player built-in." [09:36] you don't need the flash plugin [09:37] Right, because you don't need the plugin [09:37] syn-ack, jhattara: Nah, that page is plain wrong. Read http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide instead. [09:37] well no flash content still loads up, syn-ack === R136a1_ is now known as R136a1 [09:37] how can I make gnome bookmarked drives open on login? [09:37] youtube for example tells me to update my flash plugin, resulting in that adobe page, my own sites with a few flash banners display the error text about missing the flashplayer too [09:37] geirha: I'll bookmark and check it out. That's the page I learned regex with many moons ago so that's what I know [09:38] flash doesn't come with chrome for linux [09:38] d'oh [09:38] I have a couple of samba shares and an ssh mount, and I would like them to mount when I log in [09:38] lol [09:38] stupid adobe uses browser info to detect that I should have it then I guess [09:38] red: Well we can't really help you since Chrome isn't an open source application. [09:38] syn-ack: tested on Chromium aswell to same result [09:38] geirha, what shell does that work in [09:38] jhattara: bash and ksh [09:39] ewww ksh... [09:39] chromium works with the ubuntu 32->64 wrapper on ubuntu amd64 [09:39] (flash plugin I mean) [09:39] nsidwrapper [09:39] Hate. That. Wrapper. [09:39] hmmm works fine for me [09:39] ill see if i can get that to work then, thanks [09:40] jhattara: If you want to do it in posix sh, you can use case instead. case $string in *word*) echo match;; *) echo no match;; esac [09:40] there is really absolutely no reason to install a 32 bit ubuntu any more if you have a high horsepower proc [09:40] I have 32 bit on the macbook air, cause it will never go over 2 GB ram [09:40] yareckon: I have a C2D machine and I have the 32bit release installed [09:40] hello, can I control nvidia propietary drivers by means of the terminal? I want to write a script enables the HDMI screen and resizes the desktop for the HDTV without opening the nvidia control panel. Is that possible? [09:40] but for everthing else 64 bit has hardly and compatibility issues [09:40] Got tired of the 64 bit annoyances [09:41] * syn-ack trips the Viking667 [09:41] ^hardly any [09:41] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUhjmrS6sIg [09:41] yareckon: i went 64bit since im sporting 6GB ram :) [09:41] indeed [09:41] :) [09:41] any guide to that ndiswrapper + flash [09:42] tried googling but mostly getting unuseful hits [09:42] red: the flashplugin-nonfree should auto set that up [09:42] sorry, it is a mistake [09:42] red: as in flashplugin-nonfree package [09:42] red, listen to the man [09:42] geirha, well, the script is otherwise done for /bin/sh and switching to bash would apparently bring out other issues [09:42] already installed [09:42] it's automajik [09:42] red: apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree *should* pull it as a dep [09:42] :S [09:42] hmm.. [09:42] my god [09:43] red, have you considered switching to silverlight ? [09:43] hrm [09:43] jhattara: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/041 === mue__ is now known as mue [09:43] I wonder if moonlight supports Chrome [09:43] red, try flashplugin-installer [09:43] erm, correct me if i am wrong but can moonlight play back flash? [09:43] that is the package name [09:43] sorry red, was trying to be funny [09:44] flashplugin-installer <-- [09:44] Slighty offtopic - anyone have a favorite brand of cleaner, or a good cheap way to clean the crap off an LCD laptop screen? [09:44] Yeah, Windex [09:44] on --reinstall of that package, nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so [09:44] geirha, thanks [09:45] guess ill try purging all flashplayer stuff and reboot -> install [09:45] if it doesnt work then i give up and go firefox :< [09:45] firefox 4.0 is sweet [09:45] there is a ppa [09:46] good luck === iego is now known as suigeneris [09:46] syn-ack a casual google suggests no [09:47] jhattara: Have a look at the main BashFAQ page too, you'll probably find many questions you are likely to encounter ;) [09:47] ipw2200user: yes and no. Chrome no, Chromium yes [09:47] im using 4.0 ppa for firefox, thought minefield/namoroka i have some odd issues with javascripts hanging up all the time and locking up the browser for some seconds [09:47] ipw2200user: already had it long looked up. :P [09:48] I'm using google-chrome-unstable here. Love. It. [09:48] i use chrome for normal browsing, firefox for developing (theres no beating firebug + its additional extensions) [09:48] installed linux-igd (for upnp support in my router) Restarting Linux IGD Daemon: Unknown config line: upnp_log_filename = ""; | cannot find such config with such line, any advise? [09:49] finally they've removed that annoying "captcha bot" [09:49] hey there - i know that /etc/fstab stands for cd rom automount [09:49] mungustas: either set the log file location or comment it out if you can [09:49] but how can i add script, what runs, when cd rom activated [09:49] ... inserted [09:49] wieshka: no, that maps all devices to a mount point [09:50] wieshka: that would be controlled by udev rules, [09:50] ok, lets check udev rules for cdrom [09:50] wieshka: or you may want to look at using dbus/hal [09:50] yeah, you'd have to create an event, like ikonia staid [09:50] syn-ack well the /etc/default/linux-igd or /etc/linux-igd has no such line, so nothing to comment out :/ [09:51] mungustas: so set it then. :/ [09:51] ikonia: looks like 70-persistent-cd rule is what i am looking for [09:51] mungustas: I don't know that app so all I can suggest is checking the manpage for it [09:51] wieshka: maybe, maybe not, that may just create the device file [09:52] nucc1: It's still there, but unidentified users aren't being redirected right now because the spammers are taking a long lunchbreak or something. [09:52] go register with nickserv if it bothers you ;P [09:53] rww, hmmm. i wonder when xchat will learn to auto identify [09:53] nucc1: set ":usernamehere passwordhere" as the server password [09:55] rww, while editing the network in preferences? [09:55] nucc1: I think so. It's been a while since I used Xchat. [09:56] what do u use? [09:56] irssi [09:56] he he he. [09:56] lemme restart xchat. [09:57] nucc1, In XChat 2.8.8 there in an option for NickServ password. [09:57] is* [09:57] maedox, lemme check again [09:58] it's right there in the XChat > Network List > in the network you select [09:59] syn-ack, mine is under preferences > networks. i just typed in my password in that field. lemme restart again :p [09:59] Hei [09:59] no luck :p [10:00] Will there be any problem if I run Linux kernel version 2.6.32 on Ubuntu 9.10?? [10:00] apparently, xchat in ubuntu uses ubuntu's instead of freenode [10:00] :p [10:00] tgywa: wasn't for me, but it's not a supported configuration [10:00] tgywa: not really... not if you've compiled it correctly [10:00] if i want to write "hello" in a text file called test.txt, what do i type at the command line (make it without using an editor) [10:00] fuffalo: echo "hello" > test.txt [10:01] perfect. it works now :) [10:01] woot :) [10:01] rww, syn-ack thanks ... but I wanted to run 9.10 on hyper-v ... can u please suggest the ubuntu supported kernel for that purpose. [10:02] tgywa: Hyperv as in MS Hyperv? [10:02] syn-ack, yes ... Microsoft hyper-v [10:02] who can recommend a software just work as pthotoshop?thank you! [10:02] tgywa: IIRC linux doesnt run on hyperv [10:02] oops [10:03] maybe SuSE since Novell has a contract with MS, but I've never messed with it anyway [10:04] fresonee, GIMP [10:04] syn-ack, ... it worked fine for me with kernel 2.6.32 ... run it well on hyper--v [10:04] I need a tool to fetch mail from microsoft exchange and forward it to my gmail, ie some sort of mail client with auto redirect to my gmail to be run on my server. any suggestions on what I should use for this? [10:04] c3l, is gmail not able to do that on its own? [10:04] whats the best way to recover the ubuntu installation? machine wont boot since yesterday. hi all [10:04] c3l, set up filters with forwarding in Exchange. [10:05] c31 AD problems are out of the Scope of the channel. [10:05] rather, Exchange issues. [10:05] tgywa: hrm, don't know then. like I said, I've never used Hyper-V. I only run VMware. [10:05] nucc1: my exchange server is evil, its the schools and who knows how its configured [10:06] syn-ack, is it not IMAP/POP through which you get your email? [10:06] err, sorry syn-ack [10:06] c3l, is it not IMAP/POP through which you get your email? [10:06] anybody help to recover broken system? [10:06] nucc1: exchange is its own protocol for the most part === francisco is now known as fc [10:07] but i think it can do imap/pop [10:07] got it,thank you maedox [10:07] oh well. [10:07] it can, but like he said, who knows if IMAP is enabled on that server [10:07] obi, you're not really saying anything... what is the problem? === fc is now known as Guest47570 [10:07] nucc1: I need to log in via a webmial, now that I think of it, I dont think I can access my mail any other way at all.. =/ [10:08] c3l, too bad. [10:08] c3l: You could probably hack something together with Evolution + OpenXchange + scripting, but it'd be a mess [10:08] cat test.txt | grep hello [10:09] syn-ack: anything is less messy than "Office Outlook Web Access" [10:09] grep hello test.txt [10:09] :) [10:09] ubuntu wont boot since yesterday. i get the following errors: "phy0 rt2x00lib_prob_ dev: error failed to initialize hw" [10:09] upgrade kernel maybe but i dont know how when i cant boot? [10:10] nucc1 syn-ack: I have "Outlook Web Access host address" "Outlook Web Access host name" "Client Access server name" "Mailbox server name" will any of this help me? [10:11] c3l, Exchange can forward emails for you. Why would you hack together something? [10:11] obi, you try booting a liveCD? [10:11] maedox: Because he doesn't have admin access ot that machine [10:11] he can do it in the web interface [10:11] no prob booting into live cd [10:11] and this is not a friggin exchange support channel :P [10:12] maedox: I have no forward config thingy anywhere. where should this be located if its there? I only have acces to the outlook webmail [10:12] hrm, I thought option was set via a GPO option [10:12] maedox, perhaps you need to boot a previous kernel.. i don't know how that's done in the current ubuntu versions, sadly [10:12] actually, I'm sure of it [10:12] maedox: that is enabling the user to do that [10:12] that was for obi [10:12] he he [10:12] I don't have an exchange account anymore so I can't walk you through it, but you should be able to set filters to forward. [10:13] got as far as " chroot " last night [10:13] Anyway, like you said and I said earlier, this isn't an Exchange channel [10:13] nucc1, yeah, I figured. booting another kernel won't help me :P [10:13] tried earlier kernels with no luck [10:13] tried recovery mode, no luck either [10:14] maedox: ive been looking in every corner, I think I need admin access or similar to do that [10:14] finished installing xfce, feels better than gnome [10:14] c3l: like I stated the ability to have the user do that is set by a GPO option [10:14] anyway [10:14] c3l, http://programs.cocc.edu/OWA/FW/default.aspx - for 2008, but it's probably the same for older versions. I have done it on 2003. [10:14] am having this error "soft lockup - cpu#1 stuck for 61s [swapper:0] anyone encountered it before? [10:14] obi : are u from fluidanims? [10:15] maedox: I have no rules menu at all [10:15] I am connecting a mobile device to my ubuntu desktop with usb networking enabled. Then when I try to ping the device, I am getting ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted message. But the same device works on my friends desktop.. So what could be the problem with my machine? Thanks in advance. [10:15] Never mind me, I don't know what I'm talking about [10:15] ? [10:15] c3l, then you're screwed :D unless your sysadmin is not an ass. [10:16] IT HAS TO BE SET BY THE ADMIN. EoT [10:16] fusionx what is that? [10:16] syn-ack, we are minding you, but you are assuming you know the Group policy of an exchange server you don't run. lol [10:16] maedox: theres no way to fetch the mail in anyway and redirect it with a script on my box? [10:16] can i boot live cd and copy the home folder to external HD, and then do a fresh install? [10:16] oh nvm, thats a community for animations [10:17] c3l, why don't you ask your admin to help you? [10:17] maedox: he already said more than once that he didnt have that option [10:17] syn-ack, sorry, I'm doing five things at a time here [10:18] anybody know how i can recover my system? [10:18] o [10:18] obi [10:18] obi - Answer is YES [10:18] hi all, what's the difference between /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages? [10:18] ari_stress: a name. [10:18] will there be any permissions issues? [10:19] maedox: It would take half a year to get in contact with them, its my school mail I want to access easier, and the school is ran by a large slow company that has bought webservices of an even slower company. teachers have been trying for years to redirect mail ;) [10:19] ari_stress: basically messages is the old way the logger used to log before syslog-ng came along, iirc. [10:19] c3l, I see. Is there any way to access it with IMAP or POP, because Gmail can fetch via those protocols easily? [10:19] obi - I copy to fat32 or similar. Goodbye permissions. [10:20] what you mean? [10:20] c3l, if the only way to acces it is webmail, then short of writing a screen scraper, you had better give up. [10:20] Evolution has a OWA connector I believe. You could try that. [10:20] c3l: Honestly dude, what I would do is install the openXchage connecter for Evolution and use that [10:21] c31 it actually works rather well [10:21] Is there a big overhead associated with using an encrypted home directory? I have a Laptop ThinkPad x200 [10:21] syn-ack: would that work, as I have no imap or pop access, maedox [10:21] overrider, been using those for 2 years now. i don't notice much difference. [10:21] yeah, it uses OWA like maedox said [10:22] overrider, using a two and half year old hp 6710b. [10:22] c3l: that was to you [10:22] tried truecrypt overrider? [10:22] ipw2200user: not as nice as home folder encryption [10:22] syn-ack: oh, thaks. how does owa work? [10:22] nucc1: do you have your home dir on a seperate partition, or does it not matter? [10:22] ok overrider never tried it [10:23] c3l: It's the Outlook Web Access just thru Evolution [10:23] overrider, with ubuntu's built-in encryption, it doesn't matter AFAIK, but for LUKS, you need to have home on a separate partition. [10:23] syn-ack: :O cool thanks alot [10:23] install the plugin, answer a few questions and you're good to go [10:23] hello ubuntuners! [10:23] c3l: Thank maedox as well. :P [10:24] anybody know how to upgrade the kernel via the live cd? [10:24] hi people :D [10:24] maedox: thanks alot for your help! :D [10:24] o_O [10:24] obi: I think that is not posible [10:25] obi: you need to upgrade only the kernel?, why you don't use a backported kernel? [10:26] does anyone on know if ubuntu sets a default passwork for root because i never set one, just did a fresh install of 10.04 and it ask's me for one and its not my admin user/pass... ??? [10:26] !root | Adzy [10:26] Adzy: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [10:26] how do i backport? [10:26] !backport | obi [10:26] obi: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [10:27] Adzy: What do you write or click on that makes it ask you for the root password? [10:27] obi: you most activate the backports repository [10:27] i was trying to put my usb modem drivers into a folder and it said i dont have root access or something like that... [10:27] out for a while.... [10:29] and when i tried to run a command like "sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o" its asks me for a passwork.. but its not my login password! [10:29] Adzy: read the link ubottu gave you [10:29] im reading it now :D [10:29] i have a problem with ubuntu [10:29] Adzy: sudo does ask for your password, not the root password. So that is odd. [10:29] i can enter grub and pick any of the previous kernels or recovery mode... is this what you mean by backports? [10:30] but is the sudo password supposed to be the one i use to login?? [10:30] obi: no, read the link ubottu gave you [10:31] i bought a new laptop and want to ask if ubuntu 10.04 will run on it [10:31] yes [10:31] Adzy, yes [10:31] Adzy: when you sudo as user X, it requires user X's password [10:31] can someone help me [10:31] well when i do that it give me error message like "sudo: b43-fwcutter: command not found" [10:31] !wireless > Adzy [10:31] Adzy, please see my private message [10:31] ok thanks [10:32] its called commodore C64 anyone tried to run ubuntu on it ? [10:32] Adzy: that command means what it says, you don't have the b43-fwcutter command. But see ubottu for help with wireless, there may be a better way (for example, check System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers) [10:32] hello katsumi32 :! [10:32] hi adzy:) [10:32] lol still having trouble with my stupid wireless card :D [10:32] Adzy: If it was the wrong password, it would ask you two more times and eventually say «sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts» [10:33] adzy what card do you have ? [10:33] Adzy I have a Broadcom too I feel your pain [10:33] its telstra usb modem... hang on one sec [10:33] ubuntu on c64 sounds fun, i have a few of them lying around, anyone tryed to run ubuntu on it ? would need a special port wouldnt it ? [10:34] ipw2200user, broadcom should work [10:34] hi! why is it that everytime i do update manager i got errors? [10:34] pat|nG: you have to tell us the errors, use a pastebin [10:34] kalle_, :) it wont run :) it was a joke sorry :) [10:34] what's the link for the ubuntu pastebin? [10:34] thanx [10:34] In-Build Conexant Type 2 modem (COM3) <-- thats what is says in connection details...

[10:44] intok: that's hw spaces are encoded in url's [10:44] ikonia: well, when I look at the router DHCP page, I see hostname & corresponding IP address [10:44] intok: so seamonky is onply pretty printing it for you [10:45] AnAnt: but you want the hostnames to be put into your local bind server on the your ubuntu machine [10:46] ikonia: yup [10:47] hey guys [10:47] can someone explain how to do the the quote thing [10:47] on xchat [10:48] THE quote thing?

[10:58] how do I configure wicd? [10:58] does it also do wired connections? [10:58] g0th: there is GUI & CLI & gnome apllet for wicd [10:59] g0th, you can configure individual wifi network to not connect automatically [10:59] also for kde? [10:59] g0th: by default cable is prority [10:59] No accelerated colorspace conversion found, when trying to segment videos with OpenCV, i installed the stuff on Ubuntu 10.04 [10:59] syn-ack: im having some trouble with the evolution owa, when I enter the correct owa url, username and password I get error "Could not locate server . Make sure the server name is spelled correctly and try again." But I know its connecting, because if I enter a faulty password I get another error message.. how do I fix this? [10:59] and I can set manual ip addresses? [10:59] g0th: easy :) [10:59] cant boot ubuntu. can i boot from live cd, copy my /home folder to an external hd, then do a fresh install of ubuntu and move my files back from the external hd? [10:59] g0th, also, with a right-click on the applet you can disable wireless. does that not survive a reboot? [10:59] g0th: really - just give a wicd a try :) [11:00] will there be any permissions issues ie. with emails, etc.? [11:00] obi, sure [11:00] it does not survive a boot [11:00] obi, you just need to make sure that your user id will be the same under the new install as under the current one [11:00] I am trying wicd right now [11:00] is there an easier to fix my system? [11:00] so your external HDD should have a unix file system which can save attributes like owner, permissions, etc. [11:01] g0th: at first remove network-manager (but if i remeber corectly, it should self remove, while installing wicd) [11:01] obi, there is probably a way to save your system [11:01] what exactly is wrong? [11:01] or just copy it into a giant tar file instead of copying all the files [11:01] yeah I removed it [11:01] diverse_izzue thanks man [11:01] (not purge though) [11:01] problem is it wont boot all of a sudden [11:01] what is the command in terminal to install a .bin file? [11:01] that'll use the username instead of the userid [11:01] I hope it (wicd) will place itself in the kde-panel... [11:02] obi, is your boot manager broken, or does it fail later?

[11:08] !repeat | tgywa [11:08] obi, i don't know. i guess i would reinstall in your situation. [11:08] tgywa: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[11:09] tgywa, it's the default kernel [11:09] via GUI you can just access settings [11:09] diverse_izzue, thanks [11:09] and backing up my stuff... just make sure i have the same user name... what about the hd? just format in unix [11:09] but wicd should start as init.d daemon [11:10] if installed correctly [11:10] so, wieshka... [11:10] is it apt-get install vfs-module? [11:10] jrib: I don't understand your question. I'm talking about removing the Music, Documents, Pictures, Videos directories since I don't use them. [11:10] obi, i would format it using ext4 [11:10] so no problem - it should normally work [11:10] g0th, were u having issues with NetworkManager resuming after sleep? [11:10] antIP: they'll get recreated everytime you login (by default) [11:10] ReadPlease: look for manuals in inernet - there is plenty of mauals of installing/configuring NFS [11:10] obi, copying a lot of files while conserving file attributes is best done using rsync [11:11] test [11:11] h4x07: network manager is crap imo [11:11] :) [11:11] wieshka, So, I should searc [11:11] I now installed wicd and it seems better in any aspect [11:11] search google for "virtual box virtual host vfs"? [11:11] jrib: Oh, I get it. Why do they get created every time? Is there a way to link them to the directories on my secondary drive where I actually keep all of my data (Music, Documents, etc.)? [11:11] thanks for all your help Diverse Izzue greatly appreciated. i give it a go and see what happens!! [11:11] antIP: sure, just use symlinks [11:11] can you recommend me an easy to configure socks proxy server please ? [11:12] Whoo im back :D [11:12] g0th: glad you like it :) [11:12] jrib: Mmm. Symlinks. I don't know what they are, but they sound cool. [11:12] !symlink | antIP [11:12] antIP: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[11:13] jrib: :D antIP search for linux command ln [11:13] ie. which programs are started automatically etc [11:13] antIP: you can create a symlink in the gui, by right clicking on a file that you want to link to and doing "create link" (or something similar). Then copy that file to your home. Or use: ln -s TARGET NAME [11:13] !symlink sudo [11:13] FusionX: first hit on google for is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java which should give you some of the info you need. [11:13] Then, there wouldn't be nearly as much chat. And could set up autojoin for the commands they were good with. Then just join channels where they sucked w/ something. [11:13] g0th: sorry, no experiecnce with KDE [11:13] !sudo [11:13] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [11:13] but wicd should be started by system, not KDE [11:13] asking again... i need to disable VGA console entirely on my system, how would I go about to do this? I have tried passing "quiet" in the grub kernel commands but thats not what i'm looking for. [11:13] jrib wieshka - I've already googled it and found much better information than I would ever find by in the terminal. [11:13] ReadPlease: that sort of exists now, but at a project level [11:13] wieshka: but I would like the client to start each time [11:14] g0th, run autostart [11:14] can you recommend me an easy to configure socks proxy server please ? [11:14] Like, I can't find this file. So, I want to search for something that I know is written in the file. So, I think I should use 'grep'.... really, jrib? [11:14] form kde [11:14] from** [11:14] g0th [11:14] it does not ? [11:14] But I looked at 4 man pages for grep, now. Can't figure it out. [11:14] hmm, it didnt after I installed it at least [11:14] ReadPlease: I don't understand what you are doing [11:14] And I don't even know if it's the right command. lol [11:14] g0th: btw, wicd also has cli & curse version [11:14] Hermanon, SSH. [11:14] not only GUI [11:14] Where's the project, jrib? :D [11:14] maybe after a reboot, the thing is the network probably works but what I want is to have the gui icon in the panel [11:14] ie. wicd-gtk [11:15] what version of kde? [11:15] ReadPlease: I mean there exist channels based on projects instead of commands. Like #mplayer, #python, etc. [11:15] maedox: does it accept incoming connections from other machines?

[11:18] algnod, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [11:18] there is not autostart? [11:18] what do you mean by autostart? [11:18] ara, thanks I am a beginner :-) [11:18] I'm trying to install Ubuntu for the first time, and after the install screen I get a large unfriendly black blank screen :( [11:18] algnod, no problem :) [11:19] g0th: stupid question for wicd-gtk - drop it in crontab as @reboot :) [11:19] I am quite puzzled about that if i mount a remote drive over internet using sshfs, i cannot access the drive after something like 15 minutes inactivity. I cannot disconnect, or reconnect or anything unless i restart the computer first. Using WinSCP on windows7 i am also disconnected after same time of inactivity, but winSCP can just reconnect without having to restart entire system. Is there som bugs in sshfs or what is wr [11:19] ong? [11:19] i have a burnt CD, with a single divx file on it.. It detects perfectly and plays fine on a windows based machine,, detects as CDFS.. On ubuntu 10.04 x64, the exact same CD is detected as blank media.. any ideas how to get it mounted / detecting properly ? [11:19] g0th, like start with boot [11:20] i dunno [11:20] should i change to wicd now>? [11:21] wieshka: oeh, no definitely not [11:21] it belong to the user settings [11:21] vcvb [11:21] more specific to the kde session that is running [11:21] how do I start upstart itself? [11:21] h4x07: I still have no clue what you are trying to tell me.... [11:22] nothing [11:22] trying to rescue a box - starting services doesn't work because of lack of connection to /com/ubuntu/upstart [11:22] Diverdude: your host probably closes connection after x minutes of inactivity. you can force unmounting and remounting with sshfs instead of rebooting, sudo umount -l /path/to/mountpoint (-l is for lazy, it ignores everything and just force unmounts) [11:22] the best about wicd is that it uses mii-tool to detect if cable is plugged each 5 secs [11:22] so if you are running wireless [11:22] and plug cable [11:22] I assume I need to start upstart but can't see how to do it [11:22] fix you [11:22] it will disconnect wifi and connect cable [11:22] g0th, ahh nevermind im so very tired and confusing myself [11:22] Diverdude: you could probably find some way to send some data each x minutes to keep the connection alive [11:23] Diverdude: or if you have admin rights on the remote machine, reconfigere ssh to not automatically close inactive connections after x minutse [11:23] Diverdude: some clients has keep-alive option [11:23] or you have to check server config for timeout [11:23] Hermanon, you never mentioned windows in this. ;) if you don't want to use any other app on windows, I can't help you, sorry.

[11:30] Hello [11:30] guys, is there any package for vlc-cli only? [11:30] jrib: Using Ubuntu Tweak you can change the default folder locations, thus changing where the directories in home point to. [11:30] Hello. I have my home folder setup over samba,. and I want it to have some folders that are also being shared over samba in the home directory. I am currently sharing Music and Movies. They are in /media/media and /home/Music and they can't move from there. ( they are being shared to others on the network) I tried a symoblic link but that didn't work it just tried to find the link on my system. [11:30] antIP: on a different partition you should use symlinks imo [11:31] antIP: if you don't want to bother with ubuntu tweak, the settings are in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs [11:32] heh little tweak in udev, and my cd rom automaticly ejects inserted disk momentally [11:32] :) [11:32] jrib: I don't think symbolic links will let you point one directory to another. I don't want to have two Documents directories showing up (one default dir and one symbolic link). [11:32] aliverius: use mplayer :) [11:33] !grub [11:33] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

On ubuntu 10.04 x64, the exact same CD is detected as blank media.. any ideas how to get it mounted / detecting properly ? [11:33] antIP: you would just use the symlink basically. This lets you actually have you Documents in your Home [11:34] antIP: so $HOME/Documents --symlink--> /media/some_partition/Documents and you would always interact with that directory as $HOME/Documents [11:35] anyone know why i cant save gtub.cfg when i modify the boot order??? [11:35] jrib: Well, you wont really have your documents in your home directory, you'll just have an extra Documents icon (that's just a link) pointing to your documents icon on your secondary drive. Why not just point your default Documents dir to my Documents dir on my secondary drive? It's cleaner, and easier. [11:35] c3l: mplayer comes with no gui deps?? [11:35] hello, I removed my laptop from its dock, now the eth0 interface is still excpeting to be the same MAC \ Device, how do I tell ubuntu to regenerate those configurations? [11:35] jrib: Mmm. Maybe I'm not understanding you. [11:36] antIP: you keep $HOME/Documents as your documents directory but you replace this existing unused directory with a symlink to /media/other_partition/Documents [11:36] jrib: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Home/Documents --> /media/secondary/Documents - It's an easy change in Ubuntu tweak. [11:36] i was running rkhunter and i get this warning. Warning: The command '/usr/local/bin/lwp-request' has been replaced by a script: /usr/local/bin/lwp-request: a /usr/bin/perl -w script text executable. Is there a malware in ubuntu?

For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [11:37] aliverius: I dont even know if there is a gui for mplayer. but no, the package mplayer is only cli, and the most awesom video player, also great for audio files, but in that case I prefer another interface, cplay for insance (also cli) but mplayer is a must have :) [11:37] antIP: that's fine, the disadvantage is you don't have your Documents accessible from $HOME like if you are in a shell or file browser [11:37] antIP: that's my opinion, use whatever works for you of course :) [11:37] jrib: Mmm. How do you replace it with a symlink. I was under the impression that gnome will recreate the directory on startup? [11:38] skumara: /usr/local/bin/lwp-request is not installed by an Ubuntu so it's something from you., [11:38] antIP: it will only create it if it doesn't exist already. Just delete the empty $HOME/Documents and then run « ln -s /home/other_partition/Documents ~/Documents » [11:38] jrib: well, you may be right. [11:38] c3l: i have used smplayer in the past. it was a fairly good frontend. [11:39] c3l: could mplayer network streams be played by other programs such as vlc? [11:39] jrib: Oh, ok. That helps. I didn't know that. [11:39] Hi, I want to write a loop "for file in *.jpg" but I would like to include filenames in caps (JPG) as well. How can I do this? [11:39] anyone here who could help me with my logitech headset with mic to get function in front [11:39] jrib: That does sound better. I thought I would end up having two directories of the same name in Home (which, of course, would be confusing). [11:40] dont have any sound in mic or headset at all??? [11:40] never had have [11:40] aliverius: once you have mplayer you dont need any other media player [11:40] in apt-cache show size of urban terror is 992284. what its unit? mb? [11:40] aliverius: maybe im not getting what you are trying to achieve [11:41] how long does grep usually take? [11:41] it's searching like... a gig? [11:41] c3l: i need to stream over the network, video captured with dvb, and playback in another computer [11:41] for a pretty long string [11:42] c3l: so my question is, will any client reproduce this video? [11:42] aliverius: you could just mount the remote with sshfs and play it like its local. but yeah, mplayer supports all kinds of network streams etc, look in the manpage or ask more in #mplayer, cus im no expert [11:42] jrib: Ok. I did it. Will I have to restart for it to change in the "Places" drop down menu? === aum_ is now known as _aum [11:43] antIP: you probably have to log out and back in, maybe running xdg-user-dirs-update is enough, but not sure [11:43] ok c3l, thanks a lot for your advice [11:43] aliverius: wait what, you want to capture video over dvb on computer one and play it on computer 2? [11:44] in apt-cache show size of urban terror is 992284. what its unit? mb? [11:44] c3l: exactly [11:44] ReadPlease: depends on many factors. but if you didnt specify what file to grep it defaults to stdin [11:44] Hi, I want to write a loop "for file in *.jpg" but I would like to include filenames in caps (JPG) as well. How can I do this? [11:45] jrib: Bamb. It worked. Nice! Thanks.

[12:04] sadiq_: duno then if its an xwindows program hit alt f2 and use xkill [12:04] willinja tools>clear recent history [12:05] No_one|gone, i was told the project was ended and it was no longer being maintained, if it works that would be great .. but he's had no luck getting it [12:05] TiK, sudo before kill -9 pid ... still nothing [12:05] abhijit: impossible, all blank out. can't clink anything [12:05] abhijit: just can click "about" [12:05] anyone? huhuhuhu [12:06] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tsbarnes/indicator-keylock && sudo apt-get update [12:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/494698/ <----got this error from installing indicator keylock...anyone can help me fix this error? pls? thanx [12:06] sadiq_, if kill -9 wont work, then nothing will in my experience [12:06] sadiq_: uhm no error message? [12:06] you either wait and see if it disappears, or go on with whatever you where doing and ignore it [12:06] Kristiina, press alt-f2 and execute gnome-panel --replace [12:06] sh00p, it's eating 99% of my core i3 [12:06] gnomefreak, yes [12:06] pat|nG: Well, that error's been there for AGES, it's some weirdness with Ubuntu Partner repos. Don't worry, ignore it [12:07] oh nvm i restarted and now its running [12:07] i'd reboot then sadiq_ [12:07] TiK, the process is transmission...if I start it in console and try to quit it by CTRL+C I get ** Message: Got signal 2; trying to shut down cleanly. Do it again if it gets stuck. [12:07] theadmin: dude, what about my installation? does it work fine even if i got the error message? [12:08] sh00p, If I wanted to reboot I'd run windows :P [12:08] sadiq_: is it grey?just click close and do force kill [12:08] sadiq_, tranmission is meant to run in a gfx session. [12:08] pat|nG: That's not an error. It's a Warning (see the "W:"?), meaning that everything could go fine, could not. In this case, everything likely did go fine [12:08] sadiq_: just reboot :P [12:08] TiK, it just sits grey for hours [12:08] sadiq_, nevermind, it read the rest now :P [12:08] maedox, I'm on gnome [12:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/494700/ <--- please help me, so i can enjoy ubuntu on my laptop [12:09] chalcedny : the kweather widget is now allegedly part of the kde toys package...dunno if that works anymore, though. [12:09] looks like it's still maintained. [12:09] I can't spell today [12:09] man [12:09] sadiq_, what has occured is not supposed to occur... file a bugreport if you like [12:09] No_one|gone, hmmmm [12:09] i've never been able to get rid of these [12:09] sadiq_, does it do that regularly? [12:09] Tik ... is a process suposed to stay defunct after I try to kill the pid with sudo? [12:09] maedox, yes [12:09] sadiq_, any other weirdness with other apps? [12:10] maedox, nope [12:10] sadiq_, you might get lucky by doing a complete remove of transmission and install it again. apt-get purge ... apt-get install [12:11] chalcedony : you could always download the source from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/kdetoys and compile it yourself, but i'm sure there's a dpkg available from the repository... [12:11] so still...a reboot required...so much for sudo killing pids then :)) [12:11] sadiq_: What about "sudo killall transmission"? [12:11] No_one|gone, thanks .. i will see if he can get that :) [12:11] * gnomefreak confused :( FusionX what are you refering to with the answer "yes" [12:11] if kill -9 does not work there is something seriously wrong. [12:12] yeah I think he has the wrong pid [12:12] some processes need sudo [12:12] maedox, do $ top then hit k and the formula .. killall firefox has not been working for me lately (ubuntu 9.04) [12:12] "sudo killall -9 transmission" [12:12] theadmin, nothing on that sudo killall transmission [12:12] abhijt: sorry lost connection. do you know how to do it? [12:12] Oph5pr1n6, will do :D thx [12:13] TiK, nothing on that also :( [12:13] sadiq_: Also try the following: "sudo killall -KILL transmission" and "sudo killall -SEGV transmission" [12:13] lol i'm tellin you man, if you cant kill it, it wont be killed [12:13] bugger.. i'd just reboot [12:13] sorry gnomefreak wrong user :P [12:13] i'm sitting here with a defunct openoffice at the moment [12:13] the irony [12:13] FusionX: cool [12:13] theadmin, nothing on those 2 commands :( [12:14] hmm to install this flashplayer or not to install this flashplayer [12:14] ill wait for the final release [12:14] is there such a thing as kernel man pages and is there a package for it? looking online for stuff like kmalloc has it as part of man section 9. [12:14] * gnomefreak has _never_ seen a bug [12:14] inertial: for what? [12:15] sadiq_: Well, then... all you can do is either reboot or restart X: "sudo reboot" and "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" correspondently [12:15] inertial: when doing make menuconfig just click "help" and it explains everything [12:15] hy [12:15] TiK: nah I'm talking about the function calls you can use when kernel programming [12:15] restarting x (ALT+CTRL+BACKSPACE) won't kill the damn app :( [12:15] inertial: linux-doc [12:15] inertial: ahh enjoy :P [12:15] aha, thanks sweetpi [12:15] sadiq_: heh just reboot [12:16] theadmin, I'll reboot .... [12:16] * sadiq_ hates rebooting [12:16] rebooting must be some difficult task... [12:17] crawler: Maybe it's too long for him. Sometimes Ubuntu boots slooooow [12:17] who can help me with a laptop problem with ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS installed on it? [12:18] hi is there a possibility of changing horizontal and vertical mouse speed ?? [12:18] redbuck: "laptop problem" is too generic [12:18] !details|redbuck [12:18] redbuck: 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 ..." [12:18] theadmin: k how about laptop keeps locking up === calin is now known as Guest18760 [12:19] redbuck: hm... still, honestly not enough details to help. Do Caps/Num/Scroll lamps flash? (if so, that's a kernel-panic and there honestly is nothing you can do about it) [12:20] i get complete lockup, everytime i try and do something, like update [12:21] What the fizzuck. I accidentally pressed ctrl+alt+numpad minus and my monitors changed resolution and mirrored one another instead of showing different images [12:21] how do I make it never ever ever do something like that ever again [12:21] ever [12:21] Altreus: System - Preferences - KeyboardShortcuts [12:21] hi is there a possibility of changing horizontal and vertical mouse speed ?? [12:21] pawing [12:22] theadmin: no matter what i do it lockup or freeze up. try to update and it happens, if i plug the power cord in it does the same thing or a usb device in the same thing. when it does i have to push the power button to shut it down because the touchpad and keyboard doesn't respond [12:22] theadmin: I don't see anything for resolution or that key combo [12:22] Altreus: Hm. On the other hand, it might be Compiz who does it. Install CCSM and see [12:23] Altreus: is it a compiz setting maybe? [12:23] !ccsm | Altreus [12:23] Altreus: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [12:23] dosen't seem like compiz because I had to unset it through System -> Monitors [12:23] er with some -> preferences [12:23] I'll have a look-see [12:24] littlepenguin: hi, are you using miltiple monitors? [12:24] heys! why i can't change permission while i'm the root : hmod: changing permissions of `main.cf': Read-only file system [12:24] yes [12:24] @crawler [12:24] kad_: As said, read only filesystem :D Check your fstab for mount preferences [12:24] but i need this for gaming so only monitor0 is used [12:24] theadmin, i can't even change the "fstab" [12:25] i know that the razor software for win has this feature.. [12:25] kad_: eh... so this is your rootfs, that is, "/"? [12:25] theadmin, how to remove the "erros=remount-ro" from fstab ? [12:25] kad_, you don't. The "errors=" part should give you a hint, along with the read-only filesystem. [12:25] can't find it in ccsm or gnome's key bindings [12:26] kad_: If so... okay then... 1) reboot into the recovery mode 2) select "root" to get to root shell 3) run "touch /forcefsck" and "reboot" [12:26] kad_: Should perform a scam^W scan of the FS on the boot time [12:27] littlepenguin: sorry i can't really help, but have a look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9397443&postcount=5 [12:27] kad_: If it won't work in recovery mode, I doubt you can do anything at all >_< [12:28] @crawler http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Trackpoint but it does not seem to have this option..so i thought some manual added command in xorg.conf woukld solve this [12:28] theadmin, what key do i press to enter recovery mode ? [12:28] theadmin, although when i "reboot", it start automatic scan [12:29] kad_: During boot, hold down the SHIFT key and scroll down to the "recovery mode" entry. For me it looks like "Sabayon GNU/Linux with Linux 2.6.something-sabayon (recovery mode)" should look alike on Ubuntu [12:30] theadmin, thx for the help =) [12:30] i have a compaq presario cq 61-400, with a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04.1 installed, everytime i try and do something the laptop locks up tight, or plug the power cord or a usb stick in, it locks up the laptop, when this happen i have no touchpad or keyboard functions. How can i fix this, since i can't update [12:31] boot a livecd and update the kernel might work [12:31] can you dual boot ubuntu with windows when you choose in ubuntu installation "install by" option (not install over) ? (when windows is already installed..) [12:32] i'm dual booting with windows [12:32] karlo: yes, you should get the option to choose what OS to boot [12:32] karlo: yes.

[12:33] sh00p: what is the current kernal beng use in 10.04.1 [12:34] wx9j: traditional zip has nice compression but doesn't preserve permissions. .tbz2 is good enough, too, and does. RARs are good but non-free [12:34] wx9j: depends on the data you intend to compress [12:34] i think its 2.6.32 something [12:34] error404 this is from remi gallard .i think.. [12:34] error4o4: This is not the proper channel to ask, but it means " It is by doing anything that we become anybody" [12:34] crawler, mostly home dir not a lot in there, [12:35] IdleOne: thx :) [12:35] i had a long time ago french ,..it means its not important who and not important where [12:35] error4o4: google translate is a nice tool also [12:35] :) [12:35] IdleOne: doesnt translate well [12:35] sh00p: k putting the live disk in my laptop now [12:35] what "pro" mixer for music do you recommended ?

I really wont see the output in a gui.

[12:45] wx9j: Dunno, sorry. never learnt bash scripts [12:46] theadmin what should I be spending my time on then ? [12:46] wx9j: I dunno. Python is cool :D [12:46] I recently installed maverick but I have problem with nvidia driver, it doesn't save screen resolution after restarting [12:46] Is there a modbus scan tool under linux?

(I need it for my friend) [12:47] is there a way to find out the mouse poll rate and/or DPI settings of my mouse? [12:47] how do I set up an ubuntu one? [12:47] zulax: perhaps chmod +x it, so you dont have to do 'sh foo.sh' [12:48] hi, how would i password stored in seahorse for my app? [12:48] Dr_Willis, its already made executable to root, still it didnt run automatically [12:48] anyone know how to get soundbaster sound card working with a dell ubuntu 10.04? [12:48] zulax: theres no need to be doing 'sh whatever.sh' then. does it work from the command line? [12:49] hi, how would i get password stored in seahorse for my app? [12:49] Dr_Willis, it does work from command line [12:49] ? [12:49] juk_: It needs to know how to work with GNOME keyrings [12:49] perlsyntax: theres a lot of soundblaster variants.. the 5 ive had. have worked fine. [12:49] i try it and got no sound. [12:49] Dr_Willis, i removed the sh now and made sure its chmod +x [12:50] theadmin:any hinst tutorials, coz i dont feel secure storing plain pass [12:50] zulax: Sure it has a crunchbang? [12:50] juk_: Nah, sorry [12:50] theadmin, what is a crunchbang? [12:51] zulax: e.g. "#!/bin/bash" - shows what to run with. Must be at first line [12:51] Dr_Willis,Maybe i not doing soething right. [12:51] theadmin, sure it is [12:51] isnt that a shebang ? [12:51] perlsyntax: you may want to check the forums for your exact make/model of soundblaster card. [12:51] zulax: same thing [12:51] zulax: Well, just firing at random :D [12:52] IWorld: https://one.ubuntu.com/plans/ [12:52] theadmin, guesswhat, i had missed the # [12:52] zulax: And wham, problem solved :D [12:52] Dr_Willis, SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio [12:52] hmmmm - how can i determine from CLI is VGA or HDMI cable plugged in [12:52] lemme see, the crontab still didnt execute [12:52] for my PC ? [12:52] any ideas ? [12:52] sh00p: looking at the synaptic on my laptop, shows I have linux-headers-2.6.32-24 and the next one after those is 2.6.32-305 [12:53] chipset: NVIDIA ION 2 [12:53] any ideas? [12:53] would removing every file in /var/log/ affect anything in my pc?? most files are over 10 MB in size [12:53] perlsyntax: the x-fi has been problematic since it came out. Ive never had one of those. [12:53] sadiq_: Should not. [12:53] ? [12:53] sadiq_: needed log files will be created again [12:53] theadmin, ok..ty [12:53] but they can be problems if folders removed [12:54] theadmin: is there any way around [12:54] wieshka, I'll leave the dirs... :) [12:54] sadiq_: Overall: find -type f /var/log -exec rm '{}' \; [12:54] theadmin: i meand something with openssl [12:54] sadiq_: also you can ask google about old log file managment :) [12:55] theadmin, ahh...I was goin to gksu nautilus...but your command seems better :) [12:56] juk_: No ideas, sorry [12:56] theadmin, hmm... "find: paths must precede expression: /var/log" [12:56] sadiq_: huh, uh... Sorry. find /var/log -type f -exec rm '{}' \; [12:57] That's better :D [12:57] theadmin, now it worked :) [12:59] should I be worried about theese messages? "wpa_supplicant[1431]: Association request to the driver failed" [12:59] sadiq_: sounds like some wifi thing [12:59] theadmin, it is..should I worry about them? [12:59] sadiq_: As for I never used wi-fi, I can't tell :D [13:00] is wifi working? [13:00] Dr_Willis, more or less... Ap is _very_ far away but it works [13:01] this is sad, should the crontab be made to execute or it executes automatically? [13:02] about the mouse...is there a way to find out the mouse poll rate and/or DPI in use? [13:02] zulax: It executes automatically, generally. Can I see the cron line again? [13:02] sure theadmin [13:02] 55 * * * * /home/path/sctipt.sh [13:03] zulax, if the question is if you should make the script executable, then yes. And shouldn't that be script.sh and not sctipt.sh ? [13:03] zulax: Seems almost right except the "sctipt" :D sctipt is no word [13:03] s3r3n1t7, its executable and sorry abt the spelling [13:04] zulax: I mean, is the spelling right inside the crontab itself? That is, do the filenames of real script and the one cron tries to execute match? [13:04] i think i found it [13:04] its the missing /home [13:04] ah! hope that works [13:05] i will know it in 2 mins now [13:05] 1 min for the crontab [13:05] is there any way of updating my system via the live cd? [13:06] obi: the 'alternative' cd - ive heard can work as a update reposuitory. but ive never used it that way [13:06] obi: try download alternative cds [13:06] obi, aptoncd, not live cd, unless you mean upgrading [13:06] obi: you can update from cd using alternative iso [13:06] theadmin, oh no! it doesnt work [13:06] ah!!!!!!!!!!1 [13:07] 05 * * * * /path/correct/script.sh [13:08] my sytem wont boot. i keep getting an error on load (phy0 rt2x00lib probe error failed to initialize hw) but i can boot into live cd. so i was wondering if there is any way to fix my hardsystem? [13:08] obi, recovery mode [13:09] but i dont think i have any hardware issues as it was working fine until the other night [13:09] recovery mode does'nt bring me anywhere new [13:09] hmmmm what about dual view - i have VGA & HDMI [13:10] zulax: what is this script supposed to do? [13:10] wieshka: thats worked for me on my Nvidia systems. [13:10] Dr_Willis, wget a directory, zip it and rename it [13:10] Dr_Willis: testing now [13:10] wieshka: if a card has 2 monitors out and a tv out. - many can only do 2 of the 3 at one time. [13:10] sh /path/script.sh works perfect from terminal [13:11] and yes, its chmod +x [13:11] zulax: could be the script's usng a different PATH or other system variables. when called by a user. vs from cron [13:11] any ideas? [13:11] zulax: if it is chmod +x you have just use ./path/script.sh [13:12] iceroot, i let me confirm [13:12] zulax: and its common not to put .sh on the filename [13:12] iceroot: No need for the . - it points to PWD [13:12] Is there a modbus scan tool under linux? [13:12] theadmin: yes you are right [13:13] iceroot, it works ./script.sh === progre55_ is now known as progre55 [13:13] iceroot, would .sh or not matter the execution from cron though? [13:13] zulax: .sh is not needed [13:13] zulax: no of course [13:14] zulax: the only important thing is the shebang [13:14] ok [13:14] is there any way of updating/upgrading my system via the live cd? [13:15] obi: No! Only the alternative CD. [13:15] Anyone know [13:15] how? [13:15] obi: Download the alternate CD, put it in, choose "Upgrade" in the window which pops up >_< [13:15] obi, insert the alternate CD and follow onscreen instructions. [13:16] thanks i give it a whirl! [13:16] how can i test what would be the minimum hardware spec for a program i have created ? [13:17] sniperjo: virtual machines are probably your best shot [13:17] do you have the link for the amd64 alternate cd\ [13:17] obi: just a sec [13:17] theadmin: ive just looked at virtual box, i can change Ram but not processor speed === rgreening_ is now known as rgreening [13:18] obi: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent [13:20] If I wish to compile a newer version of murrine to replace a package, what is the correct way to do this in order to avoid problems? [13:20] Hi, Suddenly the sound stops coming out, I am using lucid on my laptop.

(for testing purposes) [13:21] aliverius: gksu vlc? [13:21] aliverius: You cannot run it as root, sorry... you'd have to recompile [13:21] on cli [13:21] ah ok [13:21] antiwork: It quits if the UID == 0 [13:21] theadmin: Ah, ok. [13:22] So yeah, what is the correct method for substituting a custom compile for an apt package? [13:22] antiwork: checkinstall? [13:23] somebody here? [13:23] antiwork: like ./configure && make && sudo checkinstall [13:23] theadmin: effin-A! [13:23] antiwork: wha. [13:23] awesome. [13:24] ???

Did the swapoff command fail immediately after a reboot? [16:06] I mean, if I delete the partition GRUB will be gone so I won't have a boot-loader [16:06] sid: Changing the swappiness is safe. You'll probably get the desired result by setting 40 instead of 0. [16:07] Following the LTS instructions for upgrading from Hardy to Lucid, I am left with sources.list containing lucid-proposed. Should those be changed to lucid now that the upgrade has been done? [16:07] erickj92: wooooo, so your boot loader is on the linux partition, not on the windows partition? [16:07] And is there a good place to get a sense of the differences between lucid and lucid-proposed? === amabo is now known as anon33 [16:07] Psychodelius: My boot loader is on a flash drive apparently. Right now I don't even have a boot loader. Thus the mess I am currently in [16:07] thanks dajhorn. i'll do that. [16:08] dajhorn: brb... I have to shut them down [16:08] kjcole: lucid-proposed is a like a beta for the next point release. Most people don't need or want it. [16:08] sid: Welcome. [16:09] kjcole, run sudo sed -i 's/hardy/lucid/' /etc/apt/sources.list [16:09] erickj92: mate, that is not quite my level of expertise. I think you better find someone who can do this kind of stuff [16:09] Okay Psychodelius thanks for your help :) [16:09] erickj92: no help at all....:P === PreZGN_ is now known as PreZGN [16:10] BluesKaj: No more hardy's in there. As I said "Following the upgrade from Hardy to Lucid, I am left with lucid-proposed in the sources.list" meaning I am not left with any hardy references. [16:10] I have downloaded a programm named "blinker" as root it can blink all LEDs on my keyboard but as normal user only num-lock. Any idea which permissions I have to change to make it work? [16:10] erickj92: have a look at this : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms901837.aspx [16:11] erickj92: that is the windows bootloader creation method, dirfectly from microsoft [16:11] Thanks Psychodelius [16:11] erickj92: Do you know about the grub-install helper program? [16:11] no [16:12] kjcole, exactly what is the text , lucid-prposed or ? [16:12] hey there, i've recently upgraded to lucid. where have the simple, redmond, thin ice desktop themes gone? does any body know? thank you. [16:12] gnome desktop themes, i mean [16:13] BluesKaj: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-proposed main restricted [16:13] florian1, In the repositories [16:13] BluesKaj: and several like it. [16:13] erickj92: (I caught the tail end of your conversation.) One solution for you could be: 1. Run `grub-install /dev/sda` to put the Linux boot loader on the hard disk. 2. Follow the HOWTO to restore the Windows loader to the grub configuration. [16:13] ok [16:13] I'm not sure if this is an ubuntu issue or not, but I get this occasionaly when booting some of my lab machines and it just sllloowly repeats, never gets past it. Then I reset and 99% of the time its OK. [16:13] INFO: task lspci:400 blocked for more than 120 seconds. [16:13] erickj92: This assumes that you want to boot the computer with GRUB, and that you will keep both Windows and Linux on the disk. [16:13] "echo 0> /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. [16:13] kjcole, ok run this , sudo sed -i 's/lucid-proposed/lucid/' /etc/apt/sources.list [16:13] Any ideas? [16:14] Kyle__: It is a bug in Ubuntu 10.04. If you see this on a production computer, then you need to reboot soon. [16:14] Paddy_NI: and can i still access or install them? they seem to be pretty fast and i've got an old machine. [16:14] Jordan_U, are you around? I need to know that command again to install all packages that are on my server to my laptop, you executed a !command in the channel that told me what to do but i was not logging :( [16:14] dajhorn: I haven't seen it whiel the system is running, only when it's trying to boot. But there are a few clients that become unresponsive and need to be foricly rebooted, but I thought that was a seperate issue. [16:15] dajhorn: is there any fix for it? [16:15] floriani: you can. check-out at gnome-art [16:15] Paddy_NI: or which of the recent ones are fast, do you happen to know? [16:15] florian1, yes but I cannot remember the package name for the life of me [16:15] kjcole, then sudo apt-get update [16:15] dajhorn: that reboot issue raised by Kyle__ do you know what bug number/ [16:15] Kyle__: Nope, but it has improved with recent lucid kernels on my computers. I usually get it after boot with processes like asterisk that use timers. [16:16] Paddy_NI: thank you for the explanation. [16:16] Psychodelius: No. I don't know the actual cause. [16:16] dajhorn: still here, just trying to cleanly shut down the vms that I have running on that box. It's seriously hurtin [16:16] dajhorn: that is ok. thank you very much [16:16] Psychodelius: Welcome. [16:16] dajhorn: What's the most recent lucid kernel? These are all running 2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP [16:16] Hi, how can I set my server's language to english but locale (keyboard etc to fi_FI.UTF-8) ? Thanks. [16:17] BluesKaj: Thanks. (Already done. I knew how, I just didn't know if I *should*. Opinion/advice appears to be recommending that I should.) [16:17] florian1, if you open up appearance then choose themes you should be able to click customise and find the appropriate controls and window borders there [16:17] mbeierl: What type of VMs are you running? [16:17] Kyle__: 10.04 latest kernel is 2.6.32-25 [16:17] mbeierl: I'll have to update then, see if that helps. [16:18] Kyle__: VMWare workstation, two vms running RH5, 64 bit. One gets 1.5g of ram, the other gets 256m of ram [16:18] mbeierl: Oh. Ugh, that could be painfull. [16:18] florian1, yeah its there [16:18] Kyle__: it should not be with 4g of ram available to the host os. Problem is that the host ubuntu is reporting 1g free [16:19] mbeierl: I have to admit, one of the reasons I moved to virtualbox was that it's easier to control from the CLI :) [16:19] mbeierl: If VMware put one of those VMs into swap, then you should go for a coffee break. [16:19] mbeierl: Is 2.6.32-25 on 10.04 LTS updates? [16:19] kjcole, ok, how does your souces.list look now ? [16:19] mbeierl: hum. With workstation, can you adjust how much memory it shares with other urnning vms and the system? [16:20] mbeierl: If you run the VMware gui as root, then it will expose a preference dialog to limit swap usage. That might help later. [16:20] mbeierl: With the server/esx versions you can tell it to never share, share some, or share all. [16:20] a [16:20] mbeierl: When you tell it to never share, your base OS doesn't get much lovin, but it generally never gets hammered to hell either. === adante_ is now known as adante [16:21] sid: sorry I think 2.6.32-25 is on proposed. I always enable that [16:21] Paddy_NI: yep, i found them. except for the thinice and redmond border. the controls are there, however. === root is now known as Guest90130 [16:21] florian1, try installing "metacity-themes" [16:22] florian1, and "gnome-themes-extra" [16:22] BluesKaj: Fine. No troubles. (I wasn't having trouble before. I noticed that the list of pending updates on two machines that I thought were identical, were not. One always offered more updates. That's when I found the difference in the sources.list.) [16:22] alright. [16:22] I am going to bed [16:22] goodnight all!!! [16:22] Kyle__: I've already played with that, but I'm still struggling to understand how X can be pushed down to 34M of rss when there's 1g free still [16:22] mbeierl: Weird.... [16:22] * Kyle__ frowns. [16:23] Ahh, so 2.6.32-25 is still proposed? Not stable? [16:23] drat. [16:23] Kyle__: I don't know anymore where I got it from ... (-25) is it possible to tell after it's been installed? [16:23] * Kyle__ sighs as a win7 vm builds in the background. [16:23] I hate virtualization on old CPUs... [16:24] Kyle__: actually, I'm pretty sure now that it is proposed as the latest -TOI kernel is still -24 [16:24] Okay, so I just deleted my LInux partition and expanded my widnows partition onto it. When I try to boot I get the "error; no such device: ###. grub rescue>" What are my options from this point? [16:24] mbeierl: Probably, but I'm not as good under the covers of ubuntu... probably in /var/log/apt something, but I dunno. [16:24] * Kyle__ nods [16:25] How do i check is samba deamon is running? [16:25] tktiddle: ps ax|grep smb [16:25] tktiddle: Or service smb status [16:25] how can i set apci=off, apm=poweroff? [16:25] erickj92, if you have removed linux and there is still windows installed it mean u removed grub boot loader and windows mbr need be repaired if you want to boot windows [16:25] my problem is my leptop cant shotdown, [16:25] tktiddle: It may be service samba status, but it's been awhile since I ran samba on ubuntu. [16:26] * Kyle__ shrugs. [16:26] I am using wubi installer, shall I install it in C drive and ubuntu partition of how much GB? [16:26] Katsumi32: how do I go about doing this? [16:26] i am using ubuntu 10.04 [16:26] who can help me ?thx [16:26] * mbeierl can't believe how heavily into swap his vm server is... still waiting for vms to shut down [16:26] is it possible to specify an alternative static ip address if no dhcp server exists? [16:26] Thanks all. Ta-ta. [16:26] using dhclient [16:26] Kyle__: I was thrown because service status samba dosnt work on ubuntu. Your process listing method works well though [16:27] erickj92, i will tell you how to do it if you promise me to take me to restaurant tonight [16:27] Lol [16:27] I'm broke :) [16:27] Oh its service smbd status [16:27] ah544li: 5gb is recommended. Note: Ubuntu in Windows is considerably slower. [16:27] Paddy_NI: thanks a lot. I'm content with the "mist" theme which is simple and fast. [16:27] erickj92, but serious type in google.com " how to fix windows mbr " there is million tutorials it isnt difficult u need windows installation dvd [16:28] ok, thank you [16:28] tktiddle: hum. the service method generally works on unbuntu, but not always :). Works in most other distros though btw. the ps method _always_ works thankfully. [16:28] darren_lgl_d, look at the last post on this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=7d732542461a4c5f63350cc2994d055a&t=1469501&page=3 [16:29] can someone give me a link to a nice packaging guide [16:29] coz,thx [16:29] darren_lgl_d, see if that works for you :) [16:29] warflyr: No, not easily. A better solution would be to use the special address that dhclient assigns if it cannot get a leased address. [16:29] killer999, debian packageing guide? [16:29] sid: thanks :) but shall i install it in C partition, drive size is 21 GB [16:29] Paddy_NI: now, after trying out the different engine features. [16:29] coz,thx [16:30] dajhorn ah i wasnt aware dhclient did that, i'll look into it, thanks [16:30] killer999, you mean something like this ? http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-debpkg.html [16:30] Opinionative Question: How many years before PC's come shipping with Linux as the factory default? Like, we see computers at BestBuy laoded with Linux instead of Windows [16:30] killer999: Like http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide [16:30] * mbeierl claps for joy as the vm finally comes down [16:30] !ot | erickj92 [16:30] erickj92: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [16:30] Packaging Guide 1: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installingsoftware [16:30] erickj92, im guessing by 2075 march [16:30] hello. does anyone know of a simple color picker in ubuntu? a simple color dialog where I can pick a color from wherever I want on the screen. and pls don't tell me to open gimp just to use a color picker :P [16:30] warflyr: Welcome. [16:31] Pici, that is a much better link :) [16:31] Antonis: gnome-color-chooser [16:31] thanx for the links [16:31] xangua, thanks! [16:32] Paddy_NI: again thanks, i'm leaving. [16:32] hi all I have a driver problem and need your help , I have a thinkpad t400 and a pcmcia to rs232 card but I can not find its driver under linux [16:32] bye to everyone. [16:32] dajhorn, Kyle__: just trying the swapoff again now before the reboot to see all of what got pushed out into swap. Never know... [16:33] what's the deal with the hotplug stuff? i have an external drive that sometimes gets disconnected (when I suspend my laptop) .. sometimes it gets automatically reconnected and sometimes it doesn't [16:33] warflyr: The special address range is 169.xxx.xxx.xxx [16:33] If I install KDE apps in Gnome (or vice versa), will that make my computer slower? I love using Yakuake on gnome. [16:33] how do i automatically remount the partitions on that external drive, manually? [16:33] sid, nope [16:34] sid, loading kde apps in gnome requires QT libs to be loaded first but that's nothing [16:34] and i don't mean "run mount", i want to run something that just automounts everything, the same way it does when i boot up [16:34] there must be a shell script in here somewhere to do that [16:34] Thanks Paddy_NI. [16:34] sid, btw I use guake on gnome [16:34] how to configure network installation in ubuntu? [16:34] I tried guake, but I love Yakuake. [16:35] sid, Yeah its had much more development [16:35] sid, wonderful app [16:35] ouyes ive never had troubles with usb rs232 adapters o.0 [16:35] no it is not a usb but a express card [16:35] i know, im just saying usb one will work ;) [16:36] Can anyone here help solve the issue with the Ubuntu install not recognizing my current hard drive partitioning? [16:36] you see the card under # lspci? [16:36] !details | jakegub [16:36] jakegub: 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 ..." [16:37] I'm on a single hard drive with the normal Windows 7 partition of 100mb in front of the main partition and I have 50GB of unallocated space for my ubuntu install. None of the partiions are recognized during the install process [16:37] jakegub is the disk recognized? [16:37] warflyr, I do not know whether it was recognized [16:37] jakegub, what shows up in the partition manager? [16:37] yes, it just wants to write over the entire thing [16:38] yikes [16:38] disk utility sees all of the partitions correctly but GParted fails to see any of them. Just the disk itself [16:38] ouyes look for something in lspci to see if anything looks like it may be that rs232 card [16:38] will it be feasible to install ubuntu in C drive, parti [16:38] jakegub, did you let win7 do its disk check [16:38] warflyr, I think it is 16:00.0 Serial controller: Oxford Semiconductor Ltd OXCB950 Cardbus 16950 UART [16:38] jakegub, hopefully you do not have any overlapping partitions [16:39] warflyr, but how to know its port name? [16:39] that sure is what it sounds like [16:39] Windows 7 boots up fine, and I've done a fixmbr and fixboot from the Win7 disk [16:39] ah544li: Yes. But it'll be slower than a clean ubuntu install on an ext4 partition. [16:39] jakegub, tried doing a chkdsk [16:39] do you use bitlocker? [16:40] good question mgolisch [16:40] i haven't done a chkdsk. Does it need to be the deep scan or anything like that. I certainly have not manually enabled bitlocker and I don't think it comes enabled by default [16:40] but i'll look into that right now [16:40] warflyr, how to use it ? [16:40] dajhorn: ok, swapoff completed and the two highest RSS processes are gnome-power-manager at 740m and gnome-panel at 370m. this does not appear normal [16:40] ouyes you may want to give "National Instruments PCMCIA-232, PCMCIA-232/2, PCMCIA-232/4" driver a try; its probably in the kernel [16:40] thanks again sid:) U ROCK [16:40] network installation in ubuntu? like kickstart [16:40] Bit locker is off [16:40] ah544li: Welcome! [16:40] mbeierl: Yes, that is too high. [16:40] HAY GUYS UBUNTU PWNS [16:41] hm any other encryption stuff? truecrypt? or maybe your gparted lacks efi/gpt support for some reason does fdisk -l list anything in linux? [16:41] jakegub, How about booting of the livecd then launching gparted and laying out the partitions that way before you use the installer perhaps that is the problem [16:41] dajhorn: k, going to reboot it now. Have no idea how to troubleshoot the power manager problem though. too bad... [16:41] guys, can you recommend me a player that is easy to use ? like winamp is on windows. I've tried xmms in the past, was satisfied, but I see they only complicated things in xmms2, and rhythm box... maybe I'm retarded, but I have an empty playlist and can't add a folder recursivelly for the life of me... [16:41] is it possible to connect to a samba share that connected on the LAN from a computer connected to the WAN? [16:41] bbl [16:42] jakegub, I have noticed problems with the installer partitioning win7 before [16:42] how to see my network traffic ? it is acting very slow? [16:42] umc: vlc, audacious. [16:42] umc: exaile [16:42] Paddy, I have a working Win7 isntallation and gparted doesn't recognize it. Are you suggesting I use gparted to make partions, then reinstall widows, then linux? [16:42] tktiddle safest way is to create an ipsec tunnel; but you may be able to forward a series of ports using ssh [16:42] thanks sid. I use vlc for movies, not a fan of listening music with it. I'll give the other two a try [16:43] jakegub, no, what I mean is just seeing if launching GParted on its own would allow you to create the linux partitions you need [16:43] dajhorn: !! Found it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-application/+bug/569273 and, yes, this pc is plugged into an APC UPS! Woot! [16:43] HHi, I just bought a dell inspiron mini net book and installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix last night; my problem is I cannot get connect to the internet via wired or wireless [16:43] jakegub, then when installing just select them if they show [16:43] hi all - i just installed 10.4 on a machine that had been running 7.4. I have my /home on another disk (that was untouched during the install) and I'm having trouble getting the new install to recognize the old users [16:43] i've opened gparted from the liveCD and it doesn't recognize the partitions. The disk utility sees them though [16:43] dajhorn: thanks for getting me started down the right path [16:43] mbeierl: Welcome. [16:43] jakegub: what disk utility? [16:43] jakegub, Have you tried a GParted livecd yet? [16:44] jakegub, its a small download and worth having in your toolkit [16:44] mgolisch, ubuntu has something that may not be called disk utiliyt, but it is similar [16:44] disk manager or soemthing like that [16:44] warflyr: thansk [16:44] hm sure yoi started gparted as root? [16:44] oh I have not tried a Gparted liveCD, I was just booting with my ubuntu livecd and using gparted [16:44] does anyone know how to tell 10.4 to recognize old users in /home? I tried just adding a user with the same name as one, and it had trouble and aborted [16:45] mgolisch, I have not started gparted as root. Is that only done from the terminal? [16:45] tktiddle: port-forwarding samba through ssh is difficult, however ssh does have a "proxy" type setup that's supposed to work. I'd rather just use scp (either with sshfs or WinSCP) [16:45] jakegub, In terminal type "gksu gparted" [16:46] skelterjohn: Rename the old home directory. If you don't want to do this for some reason, then you should use the `adduser` program from the terminal. [16:46] jakegub add the 'do not create home' flag [16:46] jakegub or delete the existing home folder [16:46] Hi, I just bought a dell inspiron mini net book and installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix last night; my problem is I cannot get connect to the Internet via wired or wireless [16:46] I'm making a list of everything you all mentioned trying. I appreciate the quick help and I'll be back when I've tried all of this [16:46] jimcooncat: Im trying to use a ubuntu bos as NAS and be able to access it from wireless === ye_Englishman is now known as timmillwood [16:46] Thank you all!

Linuxwacom complains about the X server version being too new, and having xserver-xorg-input-wacom installed doesn't make any difference. [16:47] mwilliams12201: check BIOS first, dell has bios switches for them [16:47] lol [16:47] okay [16:47] mwilliams12201, Hmm.. what model laptop are you using? [16:47] that is helpful [16:47] tktiddle: bos? maybe box. What are you using as a wireless client, Ubuntu also or Windows?

[16:48] checking now-bouught it used [16:48] ouyes youve verified that ttyS0 is your pcmcia serial device? [16:48] doeos anyone here have a vanilla ec2 instance? i need something in small with a completely base install [16:48] mwilliams12201: i've got a mini 10. had to use the broadcom STA driver for wireless, but the wired ethernet came right up. [16:49] warflyr, I do not know ,how to verify that? [16:49] mwilliams12201, wired should work are you sure its not a problem with the cable you are using [16:49] ouyes #dmesg |grep ttyS0 [16:49] skelterjohn: What does `id MyUser` at the terminal say? You may need to unlock the old account and reset the password. [16:49] ouyes: Serial trouble ? Is your baudrate right ? How'd you set that ? [16:49] mwilliams12201: did you check the bios [16:49] jimcooncat: Ive got windows client, I was thinking If connecting the LAN and WAN is too hard I could use the ubuntu conputer to share its internet connection and act as an access point with its share available [16:49] dajhorn: uid=1001(jasmuth) gid=1001(jasmuth) groups=1001(jasmuth),4(adm),20(dialout),21(fax),24(cdrom),25(floppy),26(tape),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),104(fuse) [16:49] hokay so i need the vga= code for a 16:10 resolution (like vga=799 is 1900x1200) [16:49] I don't knolw wehat i'm using-10 inch screen [16:50] what is the current ubuntu stable for server? === teddy_ is now known as teddymills [16:50] i mean 1600x1200 was 799 [16:50] ouyes: warflyr: dmesg |grep ttyS <---- you will want to see all possible ttyS devices [16:50] warflyr, mmoebius that is the output [ 0.560542] 0000:00:03.3: ttyS0 at I/O 0x1828 (irq = 17) is a 16550A [16:50] dajhorn: I tried a "sudo passwd jasmuth", but that had a problem [16:50] skelterjohn: `passwd -u jasmuth` and `passwd jasmuth` [16:50] mwilliams12201: do you have a link light on the cabled ethernet port?

[16:51] I am in BIOS [16:52] mwilliams12201: same as mine then. wired should work fine. [16:52] Emanon, this will give you available modes [16:52] mmoebius, I do not know whether my computer recognized my card [16:52] Trying to learn how to use command line and ftp, I just followed the ftp server install help documentation and it works but when I log in with my admin user everything says "permission denied" [16:52] Emanon, no probs let me know how it goes [16:52] tktiddle, bobstro; there's a windows client called Dokan sshfs that looks interesting, but I haven't tried it [16:52] mwilliams12201: check all the network options, or anything wireless switch related [16:52] mmoebius, and which ttySx is in use [16:52] ouyes: Try the dmesg | grep ttyS thing i suggested. Let's first make sure there is no other serial port [16:52] I could not get it to work-it showed the connection, but booted me before I could use it [16:52] mmoebius: What do you have attached to the port ? [16:53] ouyes: What do you have attached to the port ? [16:53] mmoebius, nothing [16:53] not sure what i am looking for [16:53] ouyes: then, what do you want to do with the port ? [16:53] mwilliams12201: anythuing network related [16:54] eveerything is enabled [16:54] mwilliams12201: ok, did you have to change aything? [16:54] not in BIOS [16:54] BTW, internet works fine in windows [16:54] mmoebius, scan data from a device using rs-485 interface and modbus rtu protocol [16:54] maybe the card is ttyS1 --- a 16C590 would be more typical for a recent PCMCIA or PCI-Express serial card [16:54] mwilliams: can you ping your router? "ping -c 2 192.168.1.1" [16:55] mwilliams12201 get to a root shell; ifconfig -a && iwconfig; you see your interfaces? [16:55] rebooting again hope the resolution is right this time [16:55] Emanon, cool [16:56] ouyes curiosity, what devices you working with? data loggers? [16:56] control system devices? [16:56] hi! is it possible to backup my win7 from my vbox ubuntu 10.04? i mean....i'll use my ubuntu 10.04 lucid to back up my win7? is it possible? [16:57] jimcooncat: sshfs seems to working fine with a linux client, Its pretty slow, i guess this is to be expected. [16:57] mwilliams12201: sorry if you responded before, didn't see it if so - do you have a link light on the wired port? [16:57] pat|nG: Yes [16:57] qwert: dude how? [16:57] pat|nG: clarify what you mean.. You are running Windows7, thats running virtualbox - and VBOX is running ubuntu? [16:58] tktiddle: sshfs is a bit slower due to the overhead then samba, or ftp, or nfs. [16:58] tktiddle: you probably are encrypting with WEP, and then encrypting again with ssh. If you can figure how to change your SSH cipher to blowfish you should increase your speed [16:58] !details| pat|nG [16:58] A virtual machine within a virtual machine [16:58] pat|nG: 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 ..." [16:58] I wonder why I used Windows all these years! Ubuntu rocks. :) [16:58] how can I use my wacom bamboo pen&touch on ubuntu 10.04? Linuxwacom complains about the X server version being too new, and having xserver-xorg-input-wacom installed doesn't make any difference. [16:59] hello [16:59] sid: yeah, if you've got a good cpu and gpu for flash to work fine and no proprietry devices like ipods, windows seems kinda crappy [17:00] Emanon, Joy? [17:00] ok Paddy_NI it said my mode was deprecated and suggested a new one there is no way im going to remember during boot [17:00] and didnt work [17:00] :-( [17:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/494824/ [17:01] Emanon, Have you tried throwing raw minced steak at it? [17:01] An_Ony_Moose: I hate to admit it, but my experience with wacom bamboo has been quite unsupported on Linux. Last I tried (9.10) I had to download and compile software to make it work at all [17:01] said that vga=0x0369 is deprecated and suggested a lower res (but proper aspect ratio i think) in a different format [17:01] gah [17:01] ubotto: i'm using ubuntu 10.04 lucid under vbox....and i want to make back up using my ubuntu distro...is it possible? [17:01] Emanon, what gfx card is it? [17:02] no but i tried praying to cthulhu and sacrificing some small children [17:02] lol [17:02] nvidia 8800 [17:02] gt i think [17:02] mbeierl, linuxwacom (I compiled it manually too) worked perfectly [17:02] okay give me a sec or two [17:02] thank you [17:02] but now it's complaining about a newer X server version [17:02] I've set up my ftp server on ubuntu 10.04 but can't actually edit anything with my main account. help? [17:02] Emanon, why do you need to set the framebuffer for anyway? i have that card and didnt touch it, and my screen is a 16:10 1680x1050 [17:02] pat|nG: Just back up (when not having ubuntu running in vbox) the vdi file. Back that up and you're fine. [17:02] Which is the best iTunes alternative on Ubuntu? I've tried gtkpod. [17:03] Artemis3: the res once im booted is fine i just have the wrong res DURING boot [17:03] hey, I'm new to upstart. I've defined a custom job as found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/494825/ I'd like to specify the user to run the program (styx.python ...) - is this possible with the exec stanza? [17:03] like on my encryption passphrase screen [17:03] An_Ony_Moose: my bamboo is in a drawer at home now, I apologize for getting hopes up, but I have not looked at it in a couple of months now... [17:03] and such [17:03] mbeierl, no problem :) [17:03] hey Emanon check this out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1480905 [17:03] Emanon, can you just set your monitor to stretch it? its not like it really matters... [17:03] I ran ifconfig command in root terminal, here is the pastebin URL http://paste.ubuntu.com/494824/ [17:04] no i can't and if i could it does kind of matter i can enter passphrase fine as it is now but it looks crappy [17:04] mwilliams12201; try typing # dhclient eth0 [17:04] is there any way to get the trackpad on a macbook pro to work with Ubuntu? I mean two fingers to scroll down the pages etc. [17:04] assuming yo uhave your cable connected [17:04] Emanon, ah, you mean at login? thats not framebuffer but GDM, check xorg.conf [17:05] Emanon: sorry - just jumping in late here: you've got an extremely low resolution during plymouth and that's when it's asking for the passphrase? [17:05] yes mbeierl [17:05] Emanon, the Nomodeset option have you tried that? [17:05] and no Artemis3 not at login at hard disk decrypt [17:05] jcrawford: does it work at all for you? its totaly unusable for me, it jumps around and right/left click doesnt realy work reliably, i resorted to just hook up my magic mouse instead of using the touchpad [17:05] jcrawford: depends what version on MBP but its possible https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook%20Aluminum#Trackpad [17:05] ill give it a try Paddy_NI [17:05] jcrawford: thats for the aluminium version [17:06] I would have to go into other room to connect caable [17:06] Emanon: and that started when you went nvidia proprietary. Same here and I read / saw / ? somewhere about the resolution during boot being way off after nvidia proprietary and for the life of me cannot find where [17:06] Emanon, ah get it... if all else fails, you can always disable fb removing the vga= line so you can at least see the prompt ^^' [17:06] afk [17:06] I just keep ignoring it as I don't boot often [17:06] well ive found some fixes that involve editing grub configs but they dont work for me [17:07] Emanon, the Nomodeset one seems simple [17:07] i can see the prompt just fine and i dont need to i can type my passphrase fine it just looks like it came out of my butt [17:07] Emanon, according to that forum post [17:07] Emanon, lol [17:07] that's a fancy gfx card [17:08] Emanon: it might be this puppy: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-get-plymouth-working-with-nvidia.html [17:08] Paddy_NI: you know if i can do that in the grub configs instead of at boot? [17:08] tried that one mbeierl [17:08] Hmmm Ive mounted a ftp folder on my machine but I cant paly any media off it, should I be able to play mp3s off a ftp mounted file system? [17:08] and the comment it links to at the bottom too [17:08] Emanon: and this? http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ [17:08] hi, I writing gmail check daemon it stores password in random openssl generated encrypted file, the problem is when it restarts we don't know in which algo pass file ecnrypted, so can't decrypt, any ideas? [17:08] hmm EmanonI dont really know but I would imagine that ultimately it would have to be done in a grub config file so that it will stick and you do not have to do it each time you boot [17:09] * Booby www.gaul.co ==>> free nulled script for you... [17:09] ah i found it in the pref pane under mouse [17:09] seems to work just fine for me [17:09] does not jump around for me but i have a MBP 3,1 [17:09] Emanon: check /etc/default/grub [17:09] cheers Dr_Willis [17:10] anyone know if i can just turn off the prop driver during boot since the non prop worked just fine for this part i just need the prop for compiz and whatnot? [17:10] Emanon, easiest way, assuming its a module, is to move the module out of the modules folder [17:10] Emanon: i gotta say, the open source drivers aren't much different if not crapper than the proprietry ones for both nvidia and ati [17:11] this part http://paste.ubuntu.com/494832/ ? [17:11] oh yea thats another question since I have rEFIt doing my bootloading how can i get rid of the grub bootloader? [17:11] !ops NO HOMELAND WITHOUT YOU FUHRER LOREZ!

[17:14] ah ok thanks Dr_Willis [17:14] www.gaul.co pls join to my forum [17:14] hey jcrawford just edit /etc/default/grub then sudo grub-update [17:14] A time traveler just appeared in my front yard, he had a copy of 19.04 LiveCD on him, anyone want?

[17:16] how to put LMMS full screen [17:16] Emanon: im not even sure what yout original problem is/was :) [17:16] HACKhalo2: IF it exists - /etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:17] thank you [17:17] HACKhalo2, xorg.conf is depreciated it is most likely not on your system [17:17] encryption passphrase entry screen at boot is wrong resolution after installing nvidia proprietary driver Dr_Willis [17:17] what is all this "NO HOMELAND WITHOUT YOU FUHRER LOREZ!

[17:17] trolls Verminator [17:17] I just found my old ubuntu 9.10 install and the ATi drivers cause my system to hang [17:17] pfifo: that wouldn't be ubuntu then. you should not be able to change any colors or appearance features. [17:17] Emanon, how about commenting out thet VGA option which doesnt work, and maybe try 1024x768 at that GFXMODE line, just too see if it improve things? [17:18] in grub or 00_header? [17:18] Emanon: thats a plymouth issue i belive. Ive seen dozens of possible fix's for it.. but never really looked into them. [17:18] Emanon, thx, this msg appears rather frequently, whats the deal, do these folks not get banned or do they just keep getting new accounts or what? [17:18] Emanon: you proberly dont need to edit the 00_header file at all. just set the proepr stuff in /etc/default/grub [17:19] no idea Verminator [17:19] !grub [17:19] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [17:19] !grub2 [17:19] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [17:19] Emanon, thx again [17:19] !grub2 [17:19] i have edited the 00_header hehe so i might as well edit it back if it does nothing [17:19] Emanon, /etc/default/grub then sudo grub-update as normal, the other one is overwritten i believe [17:19] Emanon, Have you seen this http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml [17:19] My list of cool GRUB2 related links --> http://www.delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2 [17:21] !wacom [17:22] trying that last one now Paddy_NI [17:22] Emanon: on a good note. ive not seen near the issues with nvidia and plymouth in 10.10 :) [17:22] seems configuring grub will take quite a bit of time, i will work on this later :) [17:23] for now I will live with the grub menu and hitting enter twice lol [17:23] jcrawford: set the timeout to be like 2 sec. [17:23] :) and go get a soda [17:24] jcrawford: i got a weird old machine.. it takes it like 120 sec to get to the GRUB menu from powerup.. not sure what the deal is.. could be the 8 hard drives... [17:24] lol Dr_Willisq [17:24] -q [17:24] Hi. How can I copy packages from one pc to another? I have my main pc the way I like it and want to copy the packages installed (including updates) to a dvd or usb hard disk so I can install them on my other pc (miles away, with no internet connection) [17:24] tahts the same box that Grub menu dosent work unless i use a ps2 keyboard. [17:24] Dr_Willis, well I guess these things take time to settle in.. just look at how pulseaudio was :-/ [17:25] CT1: aptoncd [17:25] i would rather hide it but hiding it wont work since the probe will find other OS's i will have to modify files in order to hide it like i want: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1287602 [17:25] How can I change ubuntu server's terminal resolution? It's 80x24 chars now, but that looks terrible on a 1024x768 monitor [17:25] CT1: not all packages may still be in the 'cache' on the first pc. so aptoncd may not get 'everything' === mmoebius is now known as mmoebius_afk [17:25] /join #ubuntu+1 [17:25] jcrawford: you can disable the os_probe script and just make your own custome entries in the 40_custome [17:26] Paddy_NI: thanks - That's the howto I recall reading and have been trying to find again! [17:26] Fraxtil its a boot command you can specify in grub/lilo [17:26] th0r: Thankyou. I'll get googling. Although I think I cleared the apt cache a week ago... :( [17:26] mbeierl, cool [17:26] jcrawford: i let it probe once.. then copied the proper lines from the grub.cfg into the 40_custome and altered them how i wanted. then disabled the osprober script. :) [17:26] CT1: and now you know why that may have not been the best idea [17:26] Fraxtil vga=0x73 or something, i dont remember, its been a long time [17:26] k trying again [17:26] i still can't even get 10.10 to boot in a VM [17:26] lol [17:26] I think the vga= option is no longer valid with grub2 [17:27] Fraxtil: theres also the 'fbset' command that can change the framebuffer consoles settings on the fly. [17:27] uhuh, epic fail of freenode bot [17:27] th0r: Lesson learned. Thanks for the help. I'll read up and find some way to do it now you pointed me in the right direction. [17:27] Dr_Willis, thanks for the information [17:28] Dr_Willis: i'll look into that, thanks [17:29] this url mentions changing the modes --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [17:29] CT1, I find Keryx to be better than aptoncd personally http://keryxproject.org/ [17:29] How can I make all the files on my ubuntu server changeable through ftp? [17:29] Dr_Willis: it only says /dev/fb0 doesn't exist. maybe fb0 is x-related? i'm not running x, just ttys [17:29] personally i perfer the normal 'old fashoned' text mode. The framebuffer is a bit laggy. [17:30] Fraxtil, what version of ubuntu? [17:30] Fraxtil: on a server install it could be you need to load the framebuffer modules for your card [17:30] Dr_Willis, wish there was a simple way of enabling text mode [17:30] Paddy_NI: Thanks. I'll read up on that. [17:30] Paddy_NI: try the 'text' option? :) [17:30] Or what is the standard way of getting files from my windows machine onto an ubuntu server box? is samba better? [17:30] i don't get the boot menu at boot. does anybody have any idea why? [17:30] warflyr: 10.04 iirc [17:30] Dr_Willis, yeah but it does not load gdm [17:30] 8.1 and below; nano /boot/grub/grub.conf (or menu.lst); and add vga=791 [17:30] Paddy_NI: in /etc/rc.local --> 'service gdm start' [17:31] :) [17:31] * Paddy_NI hugs Dr_Willis [17:31] Paddy_NI: or perhaps rename the gdm.conf to be superspiffyhack.conf [17:31] Fraxtil nano /etc/default/grub [17:31] Paddy_NI: personally i just 'startx' when i want tog et into X. [17:31] hey guys u talking about backtrack?

[17:32] what is the official backtrack irc chat i can go to? [17:32] !backtrack | binary [17:32] binary: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [17:32] warflyr: will try that, thank you very much. [17:32] Fraxtil afterwards; $ sudo update-grub === Fraxtil is now known as Fraxtil` [17:33] so I've setup a static eth0 with the networkmanager applet and it just repeatedly kills it [17:33] Paddy_NI: that last one worked [17:33] Emanon, excellent [17:33] can anyone point me to help with getting my wired nic working (broadcom bcm4401-bo rev 02) [17:33] :D [17:34] and let it be known i was stupidly updating grub when i needed to be updating grub 2 before [17:34] lol [17:34] so Dr_Willis was right [17:34] :P [17:34] but now by encryption passphrase is pretty again [17:34] so does the new 64bit flash plugin mean that Hulu will work again?

'sudo update-grub' is the same as 'sudo update-grub2' [17:35] the passphrase is still intentionally ugly [17:35] Am I asking for help in the wrong place here regarding ftp? [17:35] and changed frequently [17:35] Emanon, yeah but to be expected at that level [17:35] Hi, There are lots of on screen keyboards programs. Problem is when i switch to other language buttons stay in english. Is there a way to solv it? [17:35] btw everyone the pwgen package rocks ALOT [17:36] Yautja_Cetanu: the docs for the ftp server you are using is always place 1 to go. :) but you can ask in here. but i bet most people will suggest you use SSH instead of FTP in this day and age. [17:36] I have a ubuntu 10.04 image file, can my wubi installer install that one instead of downloading another iso image during installation? [17:37] Hello. Can someone tell me how to reconfigure the network to pull DHCP from the cli. I'm using server 10.04 and during the install I didn't have a network connection. Now I do but have to use DHCP. [17:37] DFM: use the 'dhclient' command - i recall. [17:37] Dr_Willis: Thanks for responding! I was getting lonely. I've followed all the docs on ftp and got it installed but now I can only view files not edit or create new. I'm assuming its a simple permissions/security thing but the docs say nothing [17:38] I have a ubuntu 10.04 image file, can my wubi installer install that one instead of downloading another iso image during installation? [17:38] If I want to install a .deb package, what's the best way to do that? Is there a way to do it with aptitude so everything is consistent? Should I just use apt? [17:38] Yautja_Cetanu: they proberly assume you know the basics of linux permissins. :) [17:38] !permissions [17:38] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [17:38] DFM edit /etc/network/interfaces; add: auto eth0\n iface eth0 inet dhcp [17:38] Dr_Willis: will read it and come back [17:38] atoi: sudo dpkg -i foo.deb, or 'sudo gdebi foo.deb' is what i normally do. [17:38] DFM them /etc/init.d/networking restart [17:38] k [17:38] Hey [17:38] the RabbitMQ server package on Lucid is woefully out of date. [17:39] so I have to manually install [17:39] Who here is familiar with the swappiness kernel tuning parameter ? [17:39] incidentally i like swap files over partitions too, its nice to be able to manage that kind of thing on the fly [17:41] warflyr: I tried editing the interfaces as suggested but it didn't work and I did restart the interface after making the change. [17:41] Ben^: http://n00bsonubuntu.com/ubuntu/swappiness ? [17:41] hi, on changing /etc/sudoers using sudo visudo , is there anyway i can get the changes working without rebooting ..?? === Prof_BiG_BanG is now known as prof_away [17:41] any export command ?? [17:41] I will try the dhclient as suggested and get back to you. Thanks. [17:41] i don't have wpa enterprise option when creatting a wireless conection can someone help ?? [17:43] Dr_Willis, Emanon chat to you later got a bus to catch.. involuntary cricket pub quiz at 19:00.. I detest cricket :-( [17:43] bye [17:43] bye bud good luck [17:43] heading out myself bye all [17:44] Well, anyway - to those who are aware of swappiness you may be able to point me in the right direction: [17:44] I've been playing with my swappiness kernel param. I find it good for the most part to have it quite high - even at 100. However, one or two processes I would like to swap less and keep more in resident memory. [17:45] Is there any way to do that? Sort of like a renice for swappiness by process ? [17:45] i have pluged my monitor into my laptop to use them both now the taskbar/applications are shown only on the primary laptop window.. is there any way to make the "primary" window the one on the external monitor? [17:45] Ben^, can't say much, since i love not using swap at all ^^ [17:46] my tomcat can't startup,who know how to resolve it ? thanks [17:46] Is this the correct place for ubuntu-install issues/qusetions? [17:46] azi`: that is usually a function key on the laptop [17:46] Artemis3, how much ram you got ? [17:46] Soshi_Toru, yes ask away [17:46] th0r: right thank you [17:46] Ben^, 2g on the netbook, 4g on the desktop [17:47] Lol, I'd never run with no swap on that little mem [17:47] hi! if i try to use the sudo apt-get upgrade does it mean that my 10.04 lucid will be change completely? into something 10.04.1? [17:47] Memory is mean't to be free ! [17:47] pat|nG: the latest release is 10.04.1 yes. [17:48] is it stable now? [17:48] pat|nG: see what 'lsb_release -a' says [17:48] pat|nG: its proberly waht you are using anyway.. and never noticed it [17:48] pat|nG: 10.10 is the NEXT release due out in 25 days. its in beta testing [17:48] wow [17:48] i got it [17:49] i'm having more problems on this distro [17:49] wew [17:49] I seem to have less and less problems with every release. [17:49] mostly from this i just tried to install vlc...but i failed i can't get the updates [17:49] pat|nG: i just cheat and use 'ubuntu-tweak' and let it add the extra ppa repos i need for latest vlc and so forth. [17:50] :) [17:50] * Dr_Willis is lazy [17:50] hahaha [17:50] i got the ubuntu-tweaks too [17:50] but i just want to learn installin usin terminals [17:50] hehehe [17:50] next time [17:50] !info vlc [17:50] vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.6-1ubuntu1.2 (lucid), package size 1598 kB, installed size 3792 kB [17:51] vlc is in the universe repo. shouldebnt be too hard to install [17:52] Hmm. I dont even see vlc in the ubuntu-tweak ppa listing any more.. there was a vlc ppa that shut down a few weeks back [17:52] or vlc 1.1.4 from ppa [17:52] do i have to check all of this? [17:52] Computer is a Toshiba, slightly dated, currently running vista x32. I have attempted to install ubuntu 10.4 from both CD (tested used self-test on CD) and flash-drive install. in both cases, it goes to the ubuntu working red dots screens, then eventually to a black screen /w white _ cursor and sits forever. I do know that it will run ubuntu since the Wub installed copy works fine. [17:52] any thoughts/ [17:52] pat|nG: check 'all of what' ? [17:52] the boxes from synaptic package manager?

[17:54] does it still work even gettin the ppa errors? [17:54] Soshi_Toru: finished full install including boot loader? [17:54] pat|nG: it could be that ppa was the one that closed down. or some other ppa thats shut down. [17:54] pat|nG: did it install? if so it worked.. [17:54] yup [17:55] pat|nG: run 'vlc' and see if it works [17:55] done installing but gettin lots of failed due to the ppa down as u've said [17:55] hehe [17:55] i'll try [17:55] sriracha is delicious [17:55] pat|nG: ppa's are for specific apps normally [17:56] aeon-ltd:I do not know, it went into what I would describe as a [17:56] pat|nG: its best to keep the # of ppa's used to a minimum. (and yes i must have 20+ added on my one machine) [17:56] aeon-ltd:I do not know, it went into what I would describe as a working screen, going into the install, I don't believe it finishes [17:57] Soshi_Toru: hmm, how space dd you give ubuntu for its / partition? [17:57] i just installed it but i can't find the application of vlc [17:57] it's not there [17:57] wew [17:57] creepy [17:57] pat|nG: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:57] pat|nG: run it from a terminal... [17:57] I have run lvextend to try to resize a partition. According to lvdisplay this seems to have worked, but du shows the old size still, even after a reboot. How can I fix that? [17:57] frogmanbatfish: you also need to grow the filesystem [17:58] pipegeek: aha. how's that done? [17:58] you don't have to unmount it to do this if its' ext3 [17:58] pipegeek: it's ext4 [17:58] just do: resize2fs /dev/mapper/blortvg-bleeplv [17:58] aeon-ltd: the wubi partition is 30gb, but for the CD/USB installs I'm looking for a full just-unbutu computer, [17:58] frogmanbatfish: ext4 should work too. See my comment above; forgot to direct it to you. [17:58] o taip [17:59] pipegeek: thanks! reading the man page now... [17:59] cool [17:59] oh forget it bro...i'm too lazy today for just vlc [17:59] grrr [18:00] Hi, I am trying to install the pae kernel to move my 64 bit server to 32 bit, but it is not available from apt-get? Does anyone know how to do this without reinstalling a 32bit version of ubuntu? [18:00] frogmanbatfish: if you run it without options, it'll automatically try to grow it to the size of the underlying device, which is what you want [18:00] hello people, how can i watch the text info of the booting process instead of the ubuntu screen? [18:00] pat|nG: too lazy to just type 'vlc' in a terminal ? :) [18:00] vagvaf: do Ctrl-Alt-F1 during boot [18:01] I b'lieve [18:01] pat|nG, if you want latest vlc with all libraries etc add this to software source ppa:lucid-bleed/lucidbleed-exp if you didnt try it yet [18:01] pipegeek: can i 'pause' the boot with pause/break key as well ? [18:01] or you can boot pass the option "nosplash" to the kernel at boot [18:01] hey..can someone tell me if it's safe to remove network manager when using 'pppoeconf' to connect to internet? [18:01] there can be some nasty issues pop up with some PPA's :) so its best to be carefull. [18:01] I opened a vimeo video i FF, and it froze. I shut down FF, but the sound is still playing! Wth ... what do I do now? [18:01] vagvaf: and I believe so, but I'm not sure how upstart reacts to that [18:02] haven't tried [18:02] zoopp: it would be safest to leave it alone. [18:02] Soshi_Toru: md5 sum check the isos, use a fresh disk, or format the usb stick before writing [18:02] pipegeek: i'll tell you when i log in again :P [18:02] thanks [18:02] heh [18:02] np [18:02] bbl [18:02] dr_willis: the thing is ..the system i'm running Ubuntu from is very old..i've read somewhere if i uninstall it i might get a small boost [18:02] pipegeek: cool, worked like a dream :-) [18:03] zoopp: i doubt if you will. [18:03] pipegeek: thanks again [18:03] does anyone know what package the command net-setup comes from? === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux [18:03] zoopp: you would get more of a boost by using a minimal windoww manager, and a smaller file manager [18:03] dr_willis: worst thing that can happen is to lose connection to internet right? [18:03] zoopp: and how to you reinstall the program if you need to? [18:04] dr_willis: i could download the packages and keep the safe somewhere..right? [18:04] dr_willis: safe* [18:04] zoopp: and you wouldent be sure you had them all downloaded untill you needed them... [18:04] You could paint yourself into a corner real fast. :) [18:04] aeon-ltd; I did reburn and rewrite both the usb and the CD, I don't want to reformat the hdd yet prior to install since I don't have a copy of vista to install on it again if it goes wrong [18:05] Hi. Can anyone explain how to install one of the login screens available from art.ubuntu.org , using Ubuntu 10.4 ? [18:05] dr_willis: hmm maybe..isn't there a way to check dependencies ? === kai_62656 is now known as kracker[BDC] [18:06] hayward2010: most of them are for the old GDM. be sure to see which ones specificy gdm2. and as far as i know theres Not a lot of 'themes' out for gdm2 yet [18:06] dr_willis: i think i've read something about that somewhere [18:06] zoopp: perhaps. Ive never had to worry about it. I did have lubuntu remove network-manager once and install wicd.. it broke networking.. and was a pain to get network-manager back on [18:06] ah right, i understand that... so where can i see the gdm2 ones ? [18:07] hayward2010: ive only seen like 4 of them. and they were some how used by a program i tried called 'epidermis' (like the medical word for skin) [18:07] thanks Dr_Willis :) [18:07] dr_willis: hmm..then i guess i'll leave it as it is for now and see what else i can optimize..to be honest i wouldn't really want to drop gnome [18:07] zoopp: and whats the system specs? [18:07] Dr_Willis: omg....i just clean the kernels....is it ok? lmao! using the tweak? [18:08] Need some help networking. Ubuntu 10.04 Server on a machine with a Realtek RTL8111DL Gigabit ethernet controller. The machine links up at 100 and not 1000. Ethtool reports that it is linked at 1000, however my router says it is linked at 100 and file transfers are slow. Help? [18:08] pat|nG: you tell me.. is it ok? it sould have left the one you are using. [18:08] Soshi_Toru: ok ,sorry but i'm out of ideas :( [18:08] Aeon-ltd; I'm not trying to be difficult, its just that I made sure to verify that the methods of install were unlikely to be the issue etc. I'm also very put off by the fact that the WUBI install works, but the others don't [18:08] pat|nG: i find the ubuntu-tweak cleaner feature safer the the 'ubuntu janitor' program :) [18:09] dr_willis: some old single core athlon CPU that works at 2GHz, 512 mb DDR2 (667MHz i think), ATI Radeon 9250 PRO [18:09] hi all. i have a netbook running ubuntu, and i need to put windows xp on it. is there a way to install xp onto a flash drive in ubuntu from an iso? [18:09] zoopp: some day you may want to text out Lubuntu if you want to maxamize speeds [18:10] HEYooo: i dont think XP can normally work from a flash drive.. [18:10] that would need a BIG flash drive also i think. :) [18:10] HEYooo» i think your best bet is to find a USB cd-rom drive [18:11] dr_willis: atm i'm using the default video driver supplied with ubuntu..you think i might get better rendering speed if i switch to the proprietary one? [18:11] Dr_Willis, it can u need just burn it to usb from installation cd [18:11] why not? aslong as it has a ide/scsi/sata interface there should be no problem [18:11] dr_willis: checking now what Lubuntu is.. [18:11] it doenst want to install on removeable media though [18:11] <^Cheeky> hi, what is the term used , so i can install ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook using my LAN as my usb drive is not recodnised by the machine [18:11] ive gotten it to install on flash drive, but using a program only on windows to format the flash drive to bootable [18:11] mgolisch, I was on earlier talking about ubuntu not recognizing my windows installation [18:11] Katsumi32: huh? Burn an XP ISO file to a USB flash drive - Im not sure that works.. ive seen too many other hacks/guides/tools for windopws that say they do the task for it to be that simple. [18:12] Dr_Willis: is it safe to cleanup purge ppas? i got this warning message stating that im gonna be downgraded all my ppas something like that....do i have to click yes? [18:12] just wondering if theres anything like usb-creator on ubuntu that can do it [18:12] pat|nG: no idea. Ive never used the feature [18:12] jakegub: any progress? [18:12] pat|nG: you can always reinstall the stuff [18:12] Dr_Willis, i have done with win7 [18:12] chkdsk found no errors [18:12] @ pipegeek: ctrl/alt/f1 during boot will let you see the text, will that also allow me to see the text for the install to see what is going wrong? [18:12] gksu gparted found no partition [18:12] jakegub: i would guess parted/the installer reads that fake mbr table on gpt partitions for some reason and thaty why it doenst show anything [18:12] Katsumi32: but win7 is not XP. :) then again this is all not really ubuntu related.. so best to ask in #windows i guess [18:12] hello, I want to run a program with a .so but I dont want to install the .so in my system [18:12] gpt disks [18:13] jakegub: is this a normal pc? or a mac? [18:13] mgolisch yeah it said something about that [18:13] Soshi_Toru: I think so. IIRC, the installer itself is on console 5 (ctrl-alt-f5), and various useful things are on 1-4 [18:13] but I may be misremembering [18:13] mgolish it is an acer aspire 1410 notebook/netbook [18:13] one of them is a terminal, one of them is syslog, etc [18:14] someone more familiar with the installer would know better [18:14] dr_willis: LXDE..hmm i see..can i safely install it over gnome to give it a try? [18:14] zoopp: you can .. but it may try to install wicd and remove network-manager.. i had that issue a few months back.

However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. [18:14] Pipegeek: Thanks, I'll return hopefully with actual system text to facilite some help, but one last thing, is there an easier way to link people's names than retyping them each response? [18:15] dr_willis: i'll do some research on it..thanks for pointing that out :) [18:15] Soshi_Toru: Some clients support tab-completion. I typed the first three letters of your name and hit "tab" to get the rest. [18:15] Katsumi32: i think theres somthing fundamentally wrong with that statement.. but ive not needed to try it.. and i do recall lots of hacks/tools/ to do what you are clamign is a simple task.. but its OT for here.. [18:15] pipegeek: Thanks [18:16] jakegub: i wonder whats the correct way to sync that fake mbr table with the gpt table, maybe there is a tool that can do this [18:16] on my mac refit offers that, no idea how do it with linux or windows though [18:16] night all.. [18:17] hey I have a quick question, I bought Recettear on Impulse, is it possible to install it on Linux? Impulse is listed under wine appdb as garbage [18:18] Chaorain: Best to ask in #winehq for application compatability issues. [18:18] mgolisch: Is there a reason it happens? I had this same computer set up the same way on a smaller hard drive. I upgraded my drive and reinstalled windows and now Ubuntu isn't working. I'll do some searching for a tool, but it sounds like a low-level operation which doesn't usually lend itself to nice gui programs [18:18] Pici: ah thats what that channel was [18:18] jakegub: think there is a utility named gptsync [18:18] for linux [18:19] mgolisch: Let me google that for me.... [18:19] dr_willis: i'm reading LXDE wiki right now and I see now such thing as you mentioned, it might have been a past bug that could be fixed by now..i'll give it a try [18:20] Chaorain: I don't see any mention of it in cedega's game database :( winehq itself lists it as "silver", which iirc means "it'll probably mostly work" [18:21] mgolisch: is there a way to install the gptsync while running on a liveCD [18:22] pipegeek: lol, I can run it from the windows partition [18:23] hi everyone, i just wiped my /boot-partition with a careless "dd", long story short: it's no problem to reinstall grub but all the other things needed to boot are gone (initrd, etc). which packets do I have to (re)install to get them back?

I have ubuntu installed on a SSD drive, but I have to select my storage drive at startup to boot Ubuntu from the SSD. This is because I first installed ubuntu on my storage drive before I decided to install it on the SSD.. [18:49] I get grub when i select the storage drive at startup and then grub starts ubuntu from my ssd [18:50] how can I get the SSD to automatically boot? [18:50] install grub on it? [18:50] it's the same thing bro :( [18:50] hi [18:50] i think the reason is mainly that unless told otherwise the installer installs grub to the first disk allways [18:51] thnx....so basically i have to go out and get a cd and burn it onto CD as it won't load from USB device??

[19:32] make sure none of the needed channels is muted(M under it) [19:32] in alsamixer [19:32] mgolisch: nope [19:32] oddy: maybe its just pa who died ? run « start-pulseaudio-x11 » [19:33] it shouldnt the client.conf tells client to autospawn pa if its not running [19:33] so unless pa fails to start this should not be a problem [19:34] erUSUL: thanks, i'll give that a shot hold on [19:34] aha [19:34] Failure: Module initialisation failed.

Brand new install of Ubuntu 10.04, fully updated, nothing additional installed (except xchat.) I can add other accounts no problem.

[19:42] Good evening [19:42] Everyone knows about the shutdown problems I have had with Ubuntu 10.04 due to Update Manager messing around with my libraries. [19:43] DrGrov: Shutdown problems? I've had some too... Ubuntu freezes up during shutdown [19:44] I would need to know how to see which updates Update Manager last put in since it again caused the same problem I had earlier. Now it is the same as before. Interestingly though the problem disappeared due to the 2nd last Update Manager updates but with the last one it is back that I can not choose the Shutdown option from the login screen. [19:44] I am 100% sure it is a update to some lib/app that makes this problem [19:44] back all [19:44] so on a swap note i have 3g ram what should i set my swap/swappiness to? [19:45] monokrome: You got the problem due to Update Manager updating some libs/apps you have installed? [19:45] im at 1.5g/60 respectively now === qwert is now known as Aqwert [19:45] DrGrov: I have no idea. I just know it freezes up. [19:45] I am seriously getting angry about this problem jumping up again. [19:45] what does "uncomment" mean, does it mean "add a comment char so the line is inactive" or does it mean "remove the comment sign and make the line active"? [19:46] make active hardwired [19:46] hardwired: un = remove [19:46] monokrome: That it has done for me as well. The problem now though is not the same since I can not even do a shutdown. Just perhaps every 4th or 5th time it gives me the shutdown option.... [19:46] Emanon, Pici: thanks [19:46] comment out= add # uncomment= remove # [19:46] So, how can I check what updates Update Manager last did for me? [19:46] hi [19:46] !hi | pfifo [19:46] pfifo: 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! [19:47] DrGrov: Look in /var/log/dpkg.log or /var/log/apt/history.log [19:47] Pici: thanks, will check now. [19:49] Pici: i found the latest updates Update Manager does in /var/log/apt/history.log [19:49] hi [19:49] Pici: Now the problem is that I am not 100% sure what causes the error... Everything was working back to normal when I upgrade the 10th this month. Perhaps I should do a pastebin about this? [19:49] DrGrov: That could help. [19:50] any idea where stored the svn credentials ? [19:50] +are [19:50] Pici: here is the pastebin... http://pastebin.ca/1942306 [19:51] In Ubuntu Server, how do I rerun the tool to add roles to the server (eg, LAMP server, Email server, etc)? [19:51] DouglasK: sudo tasksel [19:51] pici, thanks! couldn't remember the command. :-) [19:52] DrGrov: When did it stop working properly? [19:52] wtf is up with the flood bots in #ubuntu-unregged? [19:52] Pici: It stopped working properly earlier than that but when I updated 10th which is the first in the pastebin everything started working out well. [19:52] looking for some advice. i have two 500 GB drives. one is mounted as /, one is mounted as /home. /home is full and i've barely used the other drive. [19:53] what should i do? [19:53] Pici: It has happened earlier as well but now when it happened I immidiately thought it was a lib issue. Not a kernel issue as I first thought... [19:53] Pici: I lose the sound as well and shutdown options in login screen and shutdown option when I log in. I lose also the suspend option when I get to the login screen at first boot. [19:54] is there any way to let my usb pendrive to be detected on my ubuntu 10.04? [19:54] DrGrov: Theres nothing in the updates for the 10th that look like they would affect that. [19:55] i have a usb drive on PC1 , when I ssh to PC1 from PC2 I can't see that drive because I am not logged into PC1, this is not the case when I am logged into PC1 and PC1 is just 'locked' [19:55] Pici: No that is really weird. But I did about 25 reboots then and I always got the Suspend at login screen and working Shutdown... [19:55] any ideas? [19:55] is there a common place to store documents that should be accessible by all users? [19:56] karmic-koala: : use scp to copy the files to / from the remote machne [19:56] DrGrov: Was it doing a fsck? [19:57] I installed 10.04.1 using Wubi and it worked fine. When I switched to the highest desktop effects setting, ubuntu asked that i download a graphics card driver. After installing driver and restarting, ubuntu froze at the loading screen. Before this, though, the graphics card seemed to be working fine (nVidia GeForce 9500M) because the 1080 resolution was detected out-of-the-box. May anyone... [19:57] ...please help me? [19:57] Pici: Ah... Perhaps a check up yes... Is it that check up that might mess it up? can I PM you, easier to follow the discussion. [19:57] jimmy51_, you could always make one.. just set permissions and users/groups accordingly [19:57] Pici: It does a check up every now and then and usually very often. Every 30 boots or so. [19:57] Out_Cold_: ok. so there's no "best practice" location for that? [19:58] thanks to whoever clued my into how to customize the panel clock its nice having it correct [19:58] jimmy51_, depends..

[20:06] no problem vvvv good luck in the furture [20:06] karmic-koala: are you copying from the local to the remote pc or vice versa? [20:06] future* [20:06] anyone know what "deauthenticating from [mac address] by local choice (reason=3)" is and why i can't use my linksys wusb54g anymore? [20:06] too much comfortable now [20:06] DouglasK, from local to remote so scp file.name user@ip:/path [20:07] Hi. Does anyone know how to use the /sbin/installkernel script? I have a newer kernel built and ready. I don't know how to install using the script. [20:07] Hi [20:07] DouglasK, further when I ssh into remote i am unable to navigate to the USB drive [20:07] did one floodbot just de-op 2 others? [20:07] I've deleted files from my hard drive, but it hasn't opened up any new space. Can anyone help me free up the space? I'm not using nautilous, i'm using pcmanfm, it's not supposed to keep deleted files, and there's no 'deleted files folder' to access. [20:08] err 2 others de-op one i mean [20:08] DouglasK, after ssh - > ls /media/my_external_drive gives me 'permission denied' [20:08] here's another question..under gnome if ia put a bigger image than my native resolution as centered..will i lose performance? [20:08] Dougal, Use the disk usage analyzer [20:08] karmic-koala: then you have either a path error or a permissions issue. at the prompt on the remote machine, type mount and see where the usb drive is mounted. [20:08] Dougal, files are still on hard drive,, > .trash [20:08] I did use archlinux, but ubuntu show me the way, without mention software libre [20:08] DouglasK, trojan_spike is probably right. [20:09] karmic-koala, assign a uid/gid in the mount options; most likely a ntfs will be root only; im not sure about fat [20:09] !freedom | vvvv [20:09] vvvv: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [20:09] warflyr, my external drive is ext4 :) [20:09] nice command sebsebseb [20:09] edbian, trojan_spike, if you two want to take over, be my guest. [20:09] trojan_spike: where's the .trash directory? [20:10] karmic-koala hmmmm, have you made sure the all permissions have at least 4 or 5? (755, 644 or something) [20:10] edbian: , trojan_spike .. a similar nick confusion. sorry bout that. [20:10] Dougal, menu / View . view hidden >>a .(dot)file are hidden [20:10] DouglasK, warflyr my permissions are okay, the drive is mounted as /dev/sdb1 [20:10] Emanon: indeed and http://www.gnu.org philosphey section is great, since will explain to people that, this kind of software isn't about being free as in price, its about being free as in freedom :) [20:11] karmic-koala you can browse as root? [20:11] karmic-koala: what's the mount point? [20:11] and no one has the right NOT to be free hehe [20:11] warflyr, nope [20:11] Emanon: free as in price is just something that happens as a result of software freedom, as well [20:11] ahh [20:11] it should read like "/dev/sdb1 on /path" [20:11] yes warflyr sudo nautilus [20:11] karmic-koala: it should read like "/dev/sdb1 on /path" [20:11] DouglasK, yes, its /dev/sdb1 [20:12] DouglasK, did a fdisk -l as root [20:12] karmic-koala: please type "mount" at the prompt, not fsck. we need to find the mount point. [20:12] warflyr, this is very strange, i am not able to change directory to /media/external_drive even as root (sudo -i) [20:13] DouglasK, mounted at / [20:13] karmic-koala, so: $ sudo umount /dev/sdb1 && sudo mkdir /media/test && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/test === stitch2 is now known as stitch [20:13] trojan_spike: *nods* yes, i can view hidden files. But what folder am i supposed to look in? [20:13] check dmesg and ls /media/test [20:13] Howdy. I would like to install mysql on a Karmic box with a small amount of RAM (around 128Mb) Does anyone have any experience of this? [20:13] There does not seem to be a "linux-image-debug-server" for architecture "amd64" architecture. How do I get a decent dump ? [20:13] it is kept in the .trash folder [20:14] karmic-koala: , ok then. the usb drive is your root drive, yes? you can use linux, so it is r/w. either that, or you've reported the mount point for your hard disc. [20:14] Pricey in low memory cases ive used sqlite for relational databases [20:14] Pricey: that suprises me, that your asking for help in here :) [20:15] warflyr: Sure, but I would like mysql :-) [20:15] sebsebseb: I'm as clueless as everyone else. [20:15] Pricey on a 256mb embedded system (arm); mysql uses 128mb of that memory... frankly too much; sqlite works fine for more than 250k records (for me at least) [20:15] trojan_spike: thanks for trying, but i found it on my own. I was looking under root, and then under 'home'. Finally found it in my home directory. That's what I was asking [20:15] I have mysql running on 256mb managing a 10 gigabyte db. I guess it has to do with the performance you want [20:15] oh, and it's empty [20:15] DouglasK, http://pastebin.com/rbL5z4gK [20:15] hey, does anybody here use Gwibber on a laptop? [20:16] warflyr: Sure, but I would like mysql :-) [20:16] Pricey well, install and use mysql then :) [20:16] so i know hdparm can time buffered disk reads and give me an idea of disk speed, but is there anything that will do timing of randomized reads, to show me how the disks perform under the kind of load where many processes request varied file sets and the disk seeks alot [20:16] itll work [20:16] hi there [20:16] warflyr: That's my problem, it doesn't. It won't start up and so apt fails. [20:16] warflyr: i've tried to tinker with my.cnf to lower memory usage but to no avail. [20:16] i have updated my mysql datadir to /var/lib/mysql1 and updated apparmor conf, http://pastebin.com/cQQ8zrLx is it correct? [20:16] karmic-koala: your usb drive is not mounted. try unplugging, replugging, wait a minute, then redo mount [20:16] look at your log files, whats prevently startup? [20:17] warflyr: That's the best bit, they're empty. [20:17] DouglasK, can't unplug, PC1 is remote, I can reboot PC1 thou [20:17] karmic-koala: or instead of 'wait a minute' look at dmesg to see if it actualy got recognized [20:17] guys i need help setting up my sound on latest ubuntu release [20:17] karmic-koala: that should do the trick. [20:17] Pricey mysql logs are empty or your system/daemon logs are empty? [20:17] its not working [20:17] anyone know what "deauthenticating from [mac address] by local choice (reason=3)" is and why i can't use my linksys wusb54g anymore? [20:18] I have an extra partition on my harddrive that is ext4 and I want it to be visible to my windows install. can I just change my /etc/fstab to ntfs for that partition and boot into gparted to reformat as ntfs? [20:18] I'm looking at two laptops, one with ATI graphics and one with Intel graphics. Everything else is pretty much the same. I haven't messed with ATI on linux and I didn't know if it's still a pain. Does anyone have advice which way I should go? [20:18] anothergit: what is the downside of trying that out? [20:18] Hi all. Is there any good tutorial on how to build and install custom kernel on ubuntu lucid? [20:18] warflyr: I tell a lie.... syslog has something. Should've looked further than the empty mysql.log/err [20:18] anothergit: or i mean, why ask and not just try ? [20:18] hi, i have updated my mysql datadir to /var/lib/mysql1 and updated apparmor conf, http://pastebin.com/cQQ8zrLx could anyone please let me know is it correct? [20:19] ddilinger, don't want to mess up my partition scheme [20:19] Pricey ive had problems with mysql logging correctly as well o.0 [20:19] anothergit: mess it up how? unless you format the wrong partition [20:19] does the adobe air app installer through firefox works on 3.6.9? in the past I had to download the apps, now it says is installilng, should i wait and go for the download as I was used to? [20:19] anothergit: if you change the filesystem type and linux doesn't like it, worst case it doesn't get mounted [20:20] alright [20:20] thanks [20:20] hi, i need to get a video card, (onboard right now) what is ideal for ubuntu ? nvidia chipset, but how good a card for say home theatre , would i need? [20:20] warflyr: Bah... had added 'skip-innodb' and 'skip-bdb' to my conf to try and lower memory usage.... turns out the second was making it crash, the former gives me enough memory to start up! [20:20] blackxored: since latest update doesn¿t work to me either, better download the air installer to de desktop and double clic it; that should work [20:20] mpgutta looks like an issue with apparmor; look at their wiki/irc channel or something... [20:20] DagoRed: i would go intel if anything it should suck less power and longer battery lifr [20:20] Anyone know what "deauthenticating from [mac address] by local choice (reason=3)" is (dmesg) and why my WUSB54G cannot connect to an access point? Drivers seem to work fine, it can detect my access point. Connecting though just doesn't seem to work. I used to have Ubuntu I believe it was Karmic. I did a fresh install of Lubuntu Lucid. Could it be some problem with Lubuntu specifically? [20:20] xangua, thanks for the info [20:20] Pricey ahhh, nice. glad you figured it out [20:20] erUSUL: Both have i5's in them. [20:20] warflyr: Knew I was so close. [20:20] All, how do I create a new user? I am on ubuntu 10.04 running Gnome WM [20:21] warflyr: Silly me reading about mysql4 [20:21] DouglasK, rebooting didn't do the trick , now trying to find drive in dmesg [20:21] erUSUL: Both are dedicated graphics cards [20:21] FredFlinstone, > check the ubuntu forums for the best advice on which graphics card to get.. [20:21] xangua, which version of Air do you have? [20:21] DagoRed: intel does not do dedicated cards. only the ati/amd is "discrete" [20:22] karmic-koala: bbiam [20:22] intrader: you can create a new user from shell using adduser [20:22] hi guys .. how do i identify default gateway in iptables .. i need to do certain things if the gateway is set to xx.xx.xx.xx === debrac is now known as Cpudan80 [20:22] foul_owl: make sure you have linux-firmware-nonfree installed (assuming this is a version 1 wusb54g), and about that specific message, I was getting that frequently when I had a damaged usb cable, switched it out and was working fine again [20:22] intrader: System>Admin...>user and groups [20:22] trojan_spike, i have not been there before, got a link? [20:22] can anyone help me with my sound problem? output of several commands (lspci, lsmod | grep snd,...) -> http://pastebin.com/4NA3Kfpt [20:22] erUSUL: Correct... that's why I'm asking.

[20:23] blackxored: 2.0.3 [20:24] DagoRed: ahhh that clear it up. [20:24] hi guys .. how do i identify default gateway in iptables .. i need to do certain things if the gateway is set to xx.xx.xx.xx ... if this is not the forum please let me know [20:24] FredFlinstone, :: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=106702 [20:24] warflyr: ok sure. [20:24] xangua, i'll download that, BTW should I got for the .bin or the .deb [20:24] geoffmcc, erUSUL thanks I will use the User Settings screen 'Add' option [20:24] jits, not clear what youre asking [20:24] jits, you need the default gateway ip in a bash script or what? [20:25] I installed liboauth-php, but I can't find where the files installed to. ;_; [20:25] DouglasK http://pastebin.com/KC07TBf4 [20:25] trojan_spike, thanks [20:25] erUSUL: Power isn't an issue, this is supposed to be my semi portable machine. I have a macbook that is getting cleaned up and used as my main machine still (I'm a college student). [20:25] if youre using a batch script, just use 'route -n' to get your default gateway [20:25] earthmeLon: dpkg -L liboauth-php [20:25] warflyr: i need default gateway in iptables config file [20:25] <3 erUSUL [20:25] DagoRed: i weould go with ati; it actually helps free software with open specs and stuff [20:26] jits oh im not sure about an iptables config file; ive always done bash scripts that execute tons of commands in the past; i suppose you could generate that config with a script before having iptables load [20:26] Any know the solution to random wifi drops? [20:26] erUSUL: Really? I thought nVidea was better. Mind you, I haven't been an active linux user for... years besides doing work in virtual box. [20:26] zacharycaine, wifi drops mean? [20:27] DagoRed: the driver may be better at times but is closed source ;) [20:27] !parthner | blackxored [20:27] blackxored: adobeair is in partner repository [20:27] can anyone help me with my sound problem? i have no sound at all, and its seems no device is found. output of several commands (lspci, lsmod | grep snd,...) -> http://pastebin.com/4NA3Kfpt [20:27] !partner > blackxored [20:27] erUSUL: Radeon HD 5145 vs. GeForce GT 325M [20:27] blackxored, please see my private message [20:27] warflyr: humm... not really what i am looking for .. i need to do certain routing if the defult gateway is set to something ..

[20:42] !sudo | VikasSingh01 [20:42] VikasSingh01: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [20:42] is there an elegant way to sync evolution or kontact calendar data with the iphone? [20:43] Is there an Ubuntu net install¿ [20:43] edbian: i think so, but i'm not familiar with it. i am, however, more familiar with the Minimal CD, which is about 10 megs and gets pretty much everything from the net. [20:45] s [20:45] LjL, Yeah here's the thing. I have a netbook. No CD drive and I don't have a jump drive big enough for Ubuntu. I just tried unetbootin but the harddrive was mounted (cause that's how it works. And I couldn't install Ubuntu. [20:45] what is the apt command to check to see if a package is installed? [20:45] Hello all! [20:46] which 1 is best for superuser priviledge sudo or su [20:46] sudo or su which is best [20:46] Im trying to setup a headless, wireless, ubuntu server. ATM the wired connection starts automatically at startup and i can ssh in fine. I have gnome running and i can connect to the wireless from here. How do I stup the wireless to automatically connect to a network on boot? [20:46] sudo if you are doing one command, su if you have to do a bunch of things as root [20:46] NielsMkn: there are two applications for touchpad configuration in the repos, one is gsynaptics and the other is gpointing-device-settings, do you have one of them installed? [20:47] edbian: wait, what do you mean the harddrive was mounted? i assume you copied the CD to a USB stick using unetbootin, and then booted from it? [20:47] but the danger with su is you forget to change back to a normal user [20:47] so i just use sudo all the time [20:47] !sudo | VikasSingh01 [20:47] VikasSingh01: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [20:47] I would like to turn off the OSD in gnome that's connected to certain things like pidgin incoming messages and network connectivity, but it's not immediately apparent where to do that. [20:48] LjL, No man. You can use unetbootin to boot an ISO on the harddrive of the machine. [20:48] magnificats: in pidgin, you can turn it off or configure the messages in Tools/Plugins/libnotify [20:48] tim__: see how to do it via /etc/network/interfaces http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse#wpasupplicant [20:48] LjL, If I could put Ubuntu on a live USB I'd do that. I don't have a stick big enough. [20:49] foul_owl: VikasSingh01: su doesn't "work" on a standard ubuntu - use/recommend sudo -i instead if absolutely necessary [20:49] edbian: uhm, again though, you only really need a ~10mb stick for minimal. [20:49] trism: ahh, thanks [20:49] LjL, Anyway, what happens is Ubuntu thinks the HDD is the cd (since it is a live CD iso) and it thinks it's mounted so it won't repartition the drive. [20:49] LjL, Oh! Duh! Brilliant [20:49] LjL, Thanks for that. forward palm [20:50] and su will work if you sudo passwd root and make a root password first [20:50] edbian: of course you don't have all the fancy graphics of the live installer... but it always worked just fine for me. although if you don't have wired ethernet, i guess that might be problematic. [20:50] Emanon: su is a command, it works fine by default :/ [20:51] yea you just cant su by default on ubuntu cause the root user has no password and it doesnt permit an empty password for su [20:51] so adding a root pass through sudo allows you to su [20:51] Emanon: don't recommend setting a root password - its not supported here [20:51] hey, i'm getting "segmentation fault" when i try to SSH from one user account, its not an account that i can delete [20:51] Emanon: yeah, but su works fine, you can su someuser [20:51] tim__: If you're not using the Network Manager, then you need to read about the /etc/network/interfaces file and how it can call the wpa_supplicant. [20:51] right you can su sideways just not up [20:52] Emo 'su -s' [20:52] Emanon, ^ [20:52] sorry .. 'sudo -s' [20:52] Emanon: most people that want to use "su" for some reason just don't know about "sudo -i" [20:52] LjL, Mmmm, yeah... [20:52] Emanon: use sudo -i instead (if you *must*) [20:52] LjL, Thanks for the help! Sometimes it just takes another pair of eyes [20:52] guntbert, what's the difference between -i and -s? [20:53] lukus: envoirment set up [20:53] lukus: they set the environment differently, -i is preferred because it creates a complete root environment [20:54] ah okay [20:54] any ideas? [20:54] thx [20:54] this is just like mandriva if you ask how to enable root login or something you get 50 responses saying dont and btw welcome to the operating system of "freedom" yes using root in any way any more than needed is a bad idea but i tired of the "don't you'll break" sentiment in anything even remotely user friendly [20:55] like even fedora is hiding root access in some obscure poorly worded config file [20:55] howdy [20:55] i'm getting "segmentation fault" when i try to SSH from one user account, its not an account that i can delete [20:55] I'm running a server that seem to be way slower when responding to external traffic than LAN traffic.

How can I determine what drivers will work with it (given that I have the output of lspci)? For Nvidia cards I've been able to easily find a nice list of supported chipsets, but I haven't found that for ATI. [20:57] hcook: apt-get install -f ? [20:57] bove: what traffic? may be becouse iptables rules ? [20:57] Emanon: what you do with your own system is your problem alone - we won't interfere beyond a warning, but if you seem to recommend it here you will get some "no" [20:57] unperson: if it is older chances are you will have to use the open source driver radeon [20:58] !runlevels | tim__ [20:58] tim__: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [20:58] and Emanon we don't care about your schedule, so don't tell the channel :-) [20:58] erUSUL, So there's no analog of nvidia's legacy driver? [20:58] erUSUL: At least both ftp and http [20:59] unperson: i do not know of any [20:59] :( no one will help? [20:59] erUSUL, Hrm, I believe that driver was having serious problem with this particular chipset, which is why I was looking for an alternative. :-/ [20:59] hi. Have a problem with removable media.. works perfectly once then after removing and replugging it - no reaction at all. Nothing in syslogs, no /dev/sdx created, no automount, nada. This a known issue? [20:59] surely the best reason for not having root, is security .. there no universally known default account with priv.s [20:59] probably just no one knows or is busy atm Parabola|work [20:59] i know that I dont know hehe [21:00] Emanon: :-\ [21:00] Parabola|work: segfault sounds really rough. i guess i'd try reinstalling ssh and/or nuking that user's ~/.ssh directory [21:00] I did something experimental that failed. Now I am trying to recesitate my os. I issued this command 'sudo apt-get install python-software-properties && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'. [21:00] Now my system will not log in. [21:00] hcook: i already wiped the directory [21:00] When you choose failsafe X after selecting recovery mode from the boot menu, am I correct in thinking it uses VESA for the video in that case? [21:00] How do /i get into safemode? [21:01] hcook: the user is the zenoss user account that i cannot remove :( [21:01] zex: you should use ppa-purge xorg-edgers/ppa [21:01] zex with a pickaxe [21:01] zex: boot into recovery mode. root shell [21:01] can anyone recommend a good editor? I work with php, xhtml, css, that sort of stuff and would like to get one with syntax highlighting === ezraw is now known as ezraw1 [21:01] Parabola|work: but you can delete their ~/.ssh dir easily enough, no?

There are no grub options.

[21:03] i'm having some interesting problems on my system- Mouse issues, problems with mplayer, and some other weird problems that seem kernel dependant [21:03] Does anyone got any clues on a workaround for that problem? [21:04] erUSUL; I am on the machine right now booted fom a thumb drive. How can I edit the grub from here?

[21:05] I have ubuntu 10 and two monitors, i configured them to be seperate X sessions, rather than shared display stretching across both of them. now how can I have a browser running in each monitor? firefox won't let me launch another session if its already running in one or the other [21:05] is there a reason this isn't in the current version? [21:06] Hi, How do I send a message over the wlan? both computers are using linux [21:06] question about drivers. Are there Ubuntu drivers for the WACOM Bamboo Pen / Touch tablets? [21:06] panfist: it is by default I beileve. It's part of python-software-properties [21:06] Vicfred, define send a message over wlan [21:07] My computer is an Asus K50J, with 2.6.32, the trackpad is recognized wrongly as a logitech PS/2 mouse... I have 2 finger vertical scroll but no horizontal scroll. With 2.6.34+ it works vertically and horizontally... but sometimes in the opposite direction i move it, sometimes it scrolls when I use one finger, [21:07] How do I get ubuntu to boot in verbose mode starting with grub? [21:07] jrib i'm trying to do it and it says command not found [21:07] think Vicfred means like net send in windows [21:07] is there an easy way to get ubuntu to switch from speakers to usb headset to speakers as a headset is plugged in / out ? [21:07] panfist: well what did you install? [21:07] My friend has got an issue with his [ INTEL wlan] after suspending his Laptop to Ram. [21:07] He gets intresting Kernel-Errors like [kernel: [16095.805324] iwlagn 0000:04:00.0: MAC is in deep sleep!.] ... [21:07] ProNihilist: earcandy [21:08] Emanon, that's one command i'm unfamiliar wtih from Windows... what the heck is "netsend"? [21:08] Emanon: thanks, I'll take a peak, do you know off hand if it's cool with OSS4? [21:08] now my queston: question about drivers. Are there Ubuntu drivers for the WACOM Bamboo Pen / Touch tablets? [21:08] !wacom [21:08] ProNihilist: it just manages audio events through pulse [21:08] so if pulse plays nice with oss then yes [21:09] Emanon: curses, I have uninstalled pulse at the moment, but I think it can play nice if I put it back, I'll give that a shot, thanks! [21:09] might wanna tweak the defaults though it sometimes fades my audio out if i dont change things [21:09] hey [21:09] Guys, can not be serious that no one else has that same issue as I do? [21:10] EvilPhoenix: they took it out in vista i think [21:10] How can I find out what actions that are assignable in "/etc/bluetooth/input.conf"? [21:10] Any ideas on how to fix my mouse issues with 2.6.34/35? [21:10] Emanon, still dont know what its supposed to do. My issue is about a WACOM drivers thing though, so.... x] [21:10] net send "Message" and it pops up like a system notification (error or whatever) [21:10] grumbly, define mouse issues [21:10] My computer is an Asus K50J, with 2.6.32, the trackpad is recognized wrongly as a logitech PS/2 mouse... I have 2 finger vertical scroll but no horizontal scroll. With 2.6.34+ it works vertically and horizontally... but sometimes in the opposite direction i move it, sometimes it scrolls when I use one finger, [21:10] how can i find the kernel's config? I used to see it in /proc somewhere [21:11] EvilPhoenix, Emanon, yes, like net send in windows [21:11] grumbly, check mouse settings [21:11] pfifo: /proc/config.gz [21:11] pfifo: /proc/config.gz or in /boot/config-$(uname -r) [21:11] hello pple, iam in looking for docs about, how to start the computer and allow the user just use that program, nothing else [21:11] somebody can apointme in some direction, please [21:12] EvilPhoenix: I have... I dont know what it could be [21:12] ahh there it is in /boot thanks [21:12] used to use it for hilarious results at the alternative school i went to (net send "This program has commited an illegal operation, the police are on the way") [21:12] does anyone know of a tutorial that keeps thunderbird running as a notification icon to receive emails instead of having it open all the time? [21:12] My friend has got an issue with his [ INTEL wlan] after suspending his Laptop to Ram. [21:12] He gets intresting Kernel-Errors like [kernel: [16095.805324] iwlagn 0000:04:00.0: MAC is in deep sleep!.] ... [21:12] pfifo: oops, forgot this was #ubuntu... [21:12] How can I have it so when I put a file in a shared folder in samba in windows that I can have permissions for it in ubuntu? [21:13] EvilPhoenix: It is an Elantech trackpad (or touchpad) and I know there are problems with the 2.6.32 kernel module... are there some other configs that I should look into? [21:13] wuschelhase: looks like the driver could not wake up the chip ... maybe reloading the driver helps [21:13] !ubuntu | kruhft [21:13] kruhft: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [21:13] grumbly, i'm uncertain at the moment, you might wait to ask others [21:13] fedora_newb: I use "mail-notification" instead.. but I think there are some tools that makes thunderbird minimize to the tray.. that should work [21:13] and Vicfred sorry i dont know of an analogue on linux [21:13] Emanon, i dont think there is one... [21:14] EvilPhoenix: Ok. Thanks for your honesty [21:14] Slart...mail-notification will notify me when I receive new email in thunderbird without it being opened? [21:14] DrGrov: looking over your recent messages and the bug report you put up, my guess is that the people here don't have a clue what the issue is. I sure don't. [21:14] sorry Vicfred guess you get to shout to the other room [21:14] pfifo: i know i develop on it now...i just forget that they don't include things like /proc/config.gz like every other distro and kernel i've compiled [21:14] Hey, a friend of mine was saving a text document onto his desktop (Ubuntu 8.04) and the system crashed, he rebooted and now everything on the desktop has gone. I don't have a clue about how I would go about recovering the files, does anyone have any suggestions? [21:14] howdy [21:14] fedora_newb: oh.. no, it will check different mail-boxes for you and display a notification when you get new mail, clicking the icon then starts thunderbird [21:14] jimcooncat: Ok, no worries then. It just seems like many using 10.04 has this problem. [21:15] How do the developers of ubuntu decide which kernel to use? Do they just drop paper slips in a hat and draw a version number at random? [21:15] DHCPACK: you check the home folder? maybe desktop icons just turned off [21:15] guys anyone else faced issue with ubuntu, during chkrootkit scam /var/run/utmp shell open warning? [21:15] !ot | pfifo [21:15] Ok... So Mplayer wont load. Where are the relevant logs? [21:15] pfifo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:15] Emanon: The icons haven't been turned off, we checked :/ [21:15] Slart, but i have to have thunderbird opened for it to check? [21:15] jimcooncat: Otherwise it is not such a big problem but it kind of annoys the living hell out me since I can not work at all with this issue hanging around. [21:15] what's the command to uninstall avant window navigator thru the terminal? [21:15] DrGrov: just for my own enlightenment, can you give me a couple words describing the problem? Is this graphics? gdm? [21:15] pfifo: I think they have a "freeze date" and then they take whatever is working best at that moment and start testing [21:15] pat|nG: apt-get remove --purge app_name [21:15] guntbert, How is that off topic? [21:16] DHCPACK: maybe everything is there still if he runs « nautilus ~/Desktop » does it see his fies ? [21:16] fedora_newb: nope.. mail-notification checks the mailboxes itself [21:16] files* [21:16] how do i change default runlevel? [21:16] erUSUL: He already got it off and tried to enable it again ... sudo modprobe -style [21:16] anyone else got chkroot kit warning off open shell and should i worry/ [21:16] erUSUL: We're just trying that now :) [21:16] jimcooncat: It is a GDM problem. I do not get a shutdown/suspend option in GDM nor does the reboot work in GDM. When I log in I can not restart even though I have the option there. No shutdown when I logged in. The only way is to log out, drop down to terminal 1, log in and sudo reboot. [21:16] pfifo: how was that a support question? this channel is not meant for discussing merely ubuntu related things [21:17] seriously gunt youve been throwing that stuff around all day like a hall monitor [21:17] !runlevel | tim__ [21:17] tim__: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [21:17] hi [21:17] Slart, working best how? do they run more then one testing or best as in what kernel.org recommends? [21:17] erUSUL: That comes back empty :( [21:17] DrGrov: now I see. What about trying an alternate DM, like Slim? [21:17] you sure you used the right fricative to spell your name? [21:17] Ok sounds like what I am wanting, thanks for the help Slart, do appreciate it [21:17] can anyone help please/ [21:17] wuschelhase: maybe putting the driver name in the MODULES variable in /etc/default/acpi-support ? [21:17] pfifo: I don't know the specifics.. try #ubuntu-offtopic [21:17] DHCPACK: does he remember the name of any of the files ? [21:17] fedora_newb: you're welcome [21:17] jimcooncat: The strange thing is that it does work from time to time. But not so often. A week ago it worked flawlessly everything for about 150 boots until last night when the thing reappeared. [21:17] Ok... So Mplayer wont load. What and Where are the relevant logs? [21:18] DHCPACK: « find ~/ -name '*partofname*' -print » [21:18] anyone able to tell me why my removable media provokes no response at all when plugged in?? [21:18] erUSUL: okay, we'll have a go ^_^ [21:18] none helps [21:18] DrGrov: you can bet with a bug like that it will take many manhours to resolve [21:18] u check for it in partition manager darrend? [21:18] darrend: see the conf in nautilus preferences [21:18] maybe it has a bad FS for no apparent reason [21:18] !patience | geekphreak [21:18] geekphreak: 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 [21:18] jimcooncat: Yeah and the biggest problem is that I can not work at all when I have this problem.... [21:18] darrend: nothing in the syslog when you connect it? [21:19] guntbert: :) [21:19] darrend: try opening a terminal and running "tail -f /var/log/syslog" then connect/disconnect your external things [21:19] Slart: nope. After a reboot it works once (perfectly) then after unplugging and re-plugging, nothing. [21:19] guntbert: ever encountered chkrootkit warning of open shell? [21:19] System: Ubuntu 10.04, right out of the box with the exception of a few updates and firefox plugins...but the whole system is incredibly flaky on resolving hostnames. So far the only workaround I've found has been to completely re-configure my network settings, watch the new config fail even harder and then reset to original settings. Any ideas what's causing this and how to fix it? [21:19] DrGrov: if you have a single-user system, and only use the same type of session (like Gnome), how about bypassing GDM completely? [21:19] never see anything in the logs second time [21:19] Slart: ^^ [21:19] geekphreak: no, sorry [21:19] hi guys im looking for some help installing a game [21:20] !ipv6 | NoTownKasper [21:20] NoTownKasper: For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [21:20] !details \ kbot6789 [21:20] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:20] NoTownKasper: try disabling ipv6 [21:20] !details | kbot6789 [21:20] kbot6789: 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 ..." [21:20] Thank you, but IPV6 is disabled. [21:20] :P [21:20] darrend: hmm.. might be something wrong with the external thing.. you usually get some kind of error message or something in the logs when you plug something in [21:20] Slart, how do I add Thunderbird to the mailboxes? [21:20] jimcooncat: Yes, that could be a solution. Though I am really feeling bad about this that the problem is a major problem which has to do with GDM but indirectly. [21:20] i need some help installing a game called freecraft but i dont even know how to install anything in linux [21:20] Slart: I've tried restarting hald, acpid, udev and several kernel modules. No luck (and no syslog messages!) [21:21] fedora_newb: you don't add thunderbird.. you add the mail-accounts you want to check.. imap/pop or whatever it is [21:21] kbot6789 look for the manual or faq for freecraft [21:21] darrend: should be "udisks" not hald in recent ubuntu [21:21] kbot6789: in terminal Applications>Accessories>Terminal type sudo apt-get install freecraft [21:21] fedora_newb: basically the same information you enter in the "Add account" wizard in thunderbird [21:21] thare is not one sadly [21:21] erUSUL: ah.. is that a daemon? [21:21] * darrend checks.. [21:21] i'll try to figure it out [21:21] darrend: yes and a command [21:21] Oh ok, thanks again Slart...lol... <--newb ... [21:21] erUSUL: I should point out, IPV6 is disabled and at the moment and my ability to connect to IRC is a lucky fluke, nothing else will resolve. I can't even open google. [21:22] darrend: pgrep -l udisk [21:22] its a bin file i have no idea on how to install it [21:22] anyone else encountered chkrootkit warning? [21:22] NoTownKasper: tried using google or opendns DNS servers ? ( instead of what you are using now) [21:22] erUSUL: got it.. what's the command to restart it? There's no init.d for it.. [21:22] NoTownKasper may want to start trying some tracert, digs, nmaps, telnets, etc ;) [21:22] kbot6789: what are you trying to install ? [21:22] darrend: no just to check that they are running [21:23] erUSUL: yes, they are [21:23] a game called freecraft its a linux version i guese of starcraft [21:23] we can use antivirus in ubuntu ? [21:23] jimcooncat: My main scare is that I keep losing some information like work email on the Webmail or something else since I need to reboot over and over again. [21:23] jrib re add-apt-repository, i don't think i installed anything that would modify apt... just apache, django, postgres, postfix, git, some other little crap [21:23] !av | VikasSingh01 [21:23] VikasSingh01: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [21:23] DrGrov: you shouldn't feel bad. Report it, work around it, forget it until next release. The world will keep spinning. [21:23] darrend: checked the nautilus preferences ? [21:23] but its a bin file so i have no idea on how to install it [21:24] erUSUL: don't get that far.. the device never appears in /dev [21:24] jimcooncat: Yeah but it is really really painful since I work on this machine. Everything I do I do on this machine. [21:24] if i could i would throw the link up so you could see what im talking about [21:24] kbot6789 freecraft was discontinued for copyright concerns the new version is called Stratagus [21:24] kbot6789: where did you get it? ask them [21:24] u mean its also a antivirus [21:24] erUSUL: yeah, I'm playing with firefox right now while talking to you guys, trying to see if I can get it to the ubuntu forums to make sure I really do have ipv6 disabled, and I tried switching to a couple DNS servers I keep reserved for just such situations...still nothing. Still incredibly flakey. Was working perfect yesterday...and today...it's like dialup on an early 90's cell phone. :P [21:24] jimcooncat: I just hate to see some webmails lost or some important work stuff lost due to a constant rebooting.

[21:25] ok ilove i'll try that real quick thank you [21:25] oh :( [21:25] or at least, why wouldn't it be in my version...i dont think i've done anything to modify the way apt behaves [21:25] i mean i know how to do it in linux its just vlc rtp://myip:port [21:25] erUSUL: No, not yet, I'm going to guess we'll have to run that from a live disk or something?

I'd rather type "startx" after logging in. But I'm sure it would be very simple to get that to work automatically too. [21:26] oh there you go good one ilovefairuz [21:26] DHCPACK: you can do « sudo touch /forcefsck » and reboot [21:26] jimcooncat: Yeah, I kind of hope it would work automatically. The problem seems to be related to consolekit somehow. [21:26] erUSUL: alright, thankyou :) [21:27] DrGrov: I think that's what threw me. I don't know what "consolekit" is at all. [21:27] kbot6789: download it and this one too http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fcmp/fcmp_1.18.20030311-2_all.deb .. and do the following in a terminal: sudo gdebi freecraft_1.18-2.2_i386.deb fcmp_1.18.20030311-2_all.deb [21:27] can anyone please help?

Now I do have my fiancee as a second user on the box too but she seldomly logs in. [21:30] geekphreak: sorry never used that software [21:30] Hello. Can somebody tell me how I can change the language used for apps started in the terminal? I have started "vimtutor" for example, but it shows up in the "wrong" language (not the one I want). [21:30] ok thanks [21:31] how do you copy on xchat ? lol [21:31] kbot6789: cli? [21:31] Hi, how do I transfer and convert *.avi and *.img to my ipod nano g5 easiest? [21:31] tried it hate me [21:31] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ2W1uH7NzM <---can anyone tell me how to get something like this kind of a desktop? :( been using awn but it seems i dont get something like this help pls [21:31] !info arista | willeb [21:31] willeb: arista (source: arista): multimedia transcoder for the GNOME Desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.3+repack-0ubuntu5 (lucid), package size 190 kB, installed size 1572 kB [21:32] kbot6789: are you running cli mode?

I see that there is a fix for this but I do not know how to install this fix. [21:32] how people use linux ? [21:32] warflyr: i did try that, still got it [21:32] I am having trouble installing ubuntu server; It gets to 75% and asks me to change media [21:32] geekphreak, may also want to try: sudo nohup chrootkit [21:32] no just xchatr i downloaded from ubuntu [21:32] erUSUL: Ok, after much poking and prodding at firefox I got it to the link you gave me, and checked. Yes, IPV6 is disabled. Further testing with spare DNS servers (two different ones.) is showing the same problem...though admittedly the DNS servers I'm using aren't supposed to be for public use. :P [21:32] shane2peru: use vbox, its in the repos and very powerfull [21:32] its urgent...... [21:32] tell me [21:32] DrGrov: I don't know what PPA you're referring to. Personally, I distrust them. [21:33] VikasSingh01: you have a support question? [21:33] panfist: install the package I told you if you want that command. If you're using server instead of desktop, it's likely not installed by default [21:33] iceroot, I used it before, are there still tricks to setting up USB with vbox? [21:33] !linux | VikasSingh01 [21:33] VikasSingh01: Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as a kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux [21:33] erUSUL: that command (sudo touch /forcefsck) didn't work :/ [21:33] jimcooncat: Ok, It seems like there is some kind of fix for this but I just need to find the PPA to install and it should work. [21:33] when people say you shouldnt install packages of certain things is that cause it may be outdated? [21:33] VikasSingh01: repeat that in coherent english please? [21:33] DHCPACK: then use gparted from a livecd [21:34] erUSUL: okay, though it would have to go like that.. [21:34] (sudo touch /forcefsck)= raep? [21:34] BTW, that how-to should be updated...it's like 5 releases old. lol [21:35] geoffmcc: you generally should refrain from installing packages from unofficial repositories [21:35] VikasSingh01 if youre seriously looking for an answer to "how people use linux?'; really your best answer is: 'same way they use any OS' [21:35] shane2peru: yes, use the non-free version, the free version doesnt have usb-support [21:35] !manual | VikasSingh01 [21:35] How do I install PPA? [21:35] VikasSingh01: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [21:35] ilovefairuz: one example would be i heard people say not to install ssh package- should be compiled from source [21:35] warflyr: thanks for help [21:35] geoffmcc: there's lots of reasons. It might be out-dated, it not be from a trustworthy developer, it could be poorly written to require non newbiefriendly interaction...lots of reasons. [21:35] geekphreak did that work? [21:35] hmm i did sudo said file not found [21:36] anyone? [21:36] warflyr: still getting it, no rootkit found though, rkhunter comes clean [21:36] i need to customize my desktop [21:36] NoTownKasper: i just worried cause i could not get libssh2 to compile so i settled using libssh2-1-dev and libssh2-php [21:36] zex: as i said in bash; you have to use an interactive shell for repairing your system. there is no point of doing a script for it [21:36] pat|nG: you and half the obviously blind desktop users [21:36] geekphreak hmmm, well im not sure what else... good luck though [21:36] hello, I am having a problem installing ubuntu server 9.10 and 10.4 [21:36] Hi guys. I just installed medibuntu. [21:36] geoffmcc: you shouldn't compile from source unless you need to change build flags to add or remove specific features or when there are no packages available [21:36] warflyr: you think its a sign of getting hacked? [21:36] I am trying to burn an avi to a dvd. [21:36] what you need help with pat|nG [21:37] geekphreak no [21:37] Can someone tell me how. :-) [21:37] lucenut: brasero [21:37] erUSUL; Why not? [21:37] warflyr: ok thanks [21:37] jimcooncat: Should I try to get myself logged in automatically without using GDM? [21:37] it has an option to make dvd and its preinstalled on ubuntu [21:37] pat|nG: Since you didn't really ask a question...let me point you in the direction of gnome-look.org. A great place to start customizing your Ubuntu desktop with wallpapers, themes and whatnot. [21:38] zex: not worth the hassle. do you plan to be rescuing your system from this same breakage everyday ?? or even once a month? [21:38] ilovefairuz, NoTownKasper thank you [21:38] DrGrov: I wouldn't go that far, especially with another user on the machine. I'd want a text-based login, and have it start my graphical session after login. [21:39] jimcooncat $ sudo update-rc.d gdm none [21:39] Wow, it looks like it's going to be simple with Brasero! Thanks. [21:39] DrGrov: Or just replace GDM with something else [21:40] erUSUL; I am building a catalog of scripts consisting of things I have done and learned. Partitally for reference. So many things that I have done, I have forgotten, but if I had a script for them I would be able to look them up if I ever had the problem again. [21:40] warflyr: thanks for that, but it looks like DrGrov left the building. [21:40] Ok, to rehash: I'm running Ubuntu Desktop 10.04. IPv6 is disabled but I'm still having horrible troubles resolving hostnames, even with various DNS servers. It's at the point now that the internet is about 90% un-useable...I'm lucky I can get here. Any suggestions? [21:40] you're welcome lucenut [21:41] erUSUL; I realized that Is why it has been so difficult for me to fully understand and learn Linux; because I don't keep track of what I learn. [21:41] zex: just writte the steps you do with explanation in a text file [21:41] ls [21:41] NoTownKasper make sure you dont have 2 default gateways === martind_ is now known as martind [21:41] zex: sudo apt-get install brain ? [21:41] warflyr: Excuse me? 'splain please? [21:42] Emanon: we dont need that here. thank you [21:42] NoTownKasper, $ route -n; are there two gateways at the bottom with dest 0.0.0.0? [21:42] oh i was being facetious and you know it [21:42] Ah crap. When trying to burn an avi to DVD with Brasero it errors saying "All required applications and libraries are not installed. Please install the following manually and try again: mplex (GStreamer plugin)" [21:42] lucenut: $sudo apt-get install mplex [21:42] warflyr: Nope, just the one. [21:42] i told a guy a a pickaxe was the fastest way to safe mode a minute ago you think im serious? [21:42] lucenut, dive DeveDe ago.. i think its one of the best [21:43] he could install brainvisa i suppose [21:43] NoTownKasper; what happens if you tracepath 8.8.8.8? [21:43] give (dive) [21:43] Emanon; I have come to realize that it must be my fault that I am only who I am. That's ok I have gotten used to being myself. [21:43] see iceroot valuble life lessons self empowerment and so forth [21:43] your welcome [21:43] warflyr: Want the whole output? [21:43] so whats a good business card making program for ubuntu? [21:43] ;-) zex [21:43] warflyr: sidenote - have u noticed google dns got way slower [21:44] genewitch yeah ive noticed at times its slow or from certain locations [21:44] digitalfiz: http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/1000428 ? [21:44] s/genewitch/geoffb [21:45] warflyr: i thik more people use now or something, used to be blazing fast [21:45] digitalfiz: or http://thedailyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/01/glabels-business-card-and-label-creator.html perhaps [21:45] thanks Emanon ill check them out [21:45] geoffmcc im sure its activity is probably somewhat exponential [21:45] no prob digitalfiz have fun [21:46] NoTownKasper, does it actually get to 8.8.8.8? [21:46] I tried "$sudo apt-get install mplex" and it says "E: Could not open locl file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: permission denied) [21:46] warflyr: don't know, it gets about 5 hops down then starts getting a butt-load of "no reply"s. [21:46] did you include that $? [21:47] NoTownKasper; try to tracepath yahoo.com; does it stop at the same place? [21:47] Yes, I included the $. [21:47] Was I supposed to? [21:47] try without the $ [21:47] i guess tracepath 69.147.125.65 since your dns doesnt work o.0 [21:48] warflyr: first 3 hops, fine, 4 and 5, no reply 6-12 fine, then nothing but no-replys... [21:48] $ is not something you type in but if someone puts it in front of a command they are telling you to run the command as a regular user [21:48] Now it read the package lists built dependency tree and read state info. But says "E: Couldn't find package mplex" [21:48] # would denote running the command as root lucenut [21:49] Ah, thanks. [21:49] that means you did it right but it didnt have that package available for install [21:49] warflyr: oddly enough though, I tracepath'd yahoo.com and it sprung into action. :\ but my browser won't resolve much of anything. [21:49] hey there - quick question ... i am now making my hdds for RAID 1 array from ubuntu live cd [21:49] with gparted & mdadm [21:49] i have to pslit /boot partition out of array [21:49] or ubuntu & grub 2 will recognize it ? [21:49] NoTownKasper, oh, if its your browser causing the problem; im not sure, youll have to look at its logs and maybe check out its wiki or irc chan [21:50] and if it makes you feel better lucenut i have a ton of repos and i dont have mplex either [21:50] what did you need it for? [21:50] warflyr: Well, earlier it was everything. Pidgin, audacious, Evolution, nothing would resolve...I'm starting to think it's an external issue with my ISP... [21:50] wieshka: /boot must be separate [21:51] warflyr: Except the other machines on the network never have troubles. :\ [21:51] Emanon: so i need to create /boot on sda only or on sdb also ? [21:51] OK, what's another way to burn a avi to a dvd besides Brasero? [21:51] and what about swap ? [21:51] wieshka, that can only be done with onboard or PCI raid card [21:51] and wieshkayou know the ubuntu alt cd can make raids during the install you dont have to create it from a live disk like that [21:51] Hi Are there any ubuntu applications to access Exchange 2007? [21:51] Ganesh_R: maybe thunderbird has exchange support ? [21:52] oh thats why lucenut? just install ubuntu-restricted-extras that should take care of your format issues [21:52] Emanon: really switch to alt install just for RAID1? [21:52] How do I do that? [21:52] Ganesh_R is firefox connecting to outlook web access an acceptable answer? :) [21:52] i have mdadm [21:52] wieshka: thats how i do it [21:52] after that only i have to chroot and install grub 2 on booth disks [21:52] wieshka: on a lil 500g R1 myself [21:52] @wieshka, it has 2003 support but doesnt work for me in 2007. Do you know if there are any seperate plugins for it [21:52] Emanon: i am worng ? [21:52] lucenut: mplex is in 'mjpegtools' [21:53] about what sorry i missed something wieshka [21:53] Ganesh_R: sorry - i prefer zimbra - no problems with zimbra :) [21:53] Ganesh_R, im pretty sure any application other than outlook or win mobile active sync uses OWA to connect to exchange; [21:53] Emanon: lets make summary .... [21:53] oh no making raids in alt disk requires no manual commands [21:53] @warflyr: Unfortunately not :( I use too much email to rely on OWA [21:53] i should split both disks in two partitions [21:53] no wieshka [21:54] one for raid 1 array one for boot [21:54] It shows I have mjpegtools installed. [21:54] you just start the alt disk pick the raid option and tell it what 2 disks to use [21:54] it will handle the rest [21:54] just make sure you have a separate /boot partition defined [21:54] Evolution used to work fine till 2003. But MSFT rewrote their OWA client to make it difficult for applications to write web clients [21:54] alt install has install as ubuntu-server ? [21:54] causing lot of heartache to new Ubuntu users like me :( [21:54] type of install methodic [21:55] alt install is a desktop install sorry wieshka [21:55] Can I fit Ubuntu Netbook Edition on a 1Gb usb drive? [21:55] so ok - lets download alt install ... :) [21:55] yes edbian [21:55] Emanon, Well excellent :) [21:56] lucenut: is that for brasero? then it's gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse [21:56] @edbian, yes 1GB is enough [21:56] wieshka: its fairly simple if you're used to cli installs it should be a breeze [21:56] !who | lucenut [21:56] lucenut: 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 :) [21:56] erUSUL: I think my problem is a USB hub issue.. the card reader is in the side of the monitor.. unplugging and re-plugging the USB lead from the monitor to the USB controller in the PC makes everything visible again [21:56] warflyr: ...Ok...deus ex machina, I swear. Everything is working fine now...but I'll probably be back here if the issue crops up again. Before I go though, ever hear about P2P programs causing troubles like this? Perhaps even to other machines on a network? [21:56] Emanon: i prefer debian for servers - and debian has very nice graphical install for server version, but cli basicly is the same [21:56] as one who has set up encrypted lvm raids on slackware the alt disk for ubu is a breeze wieshka [21:56] so ok - i will switch to alt install [21:57] but main question was - about splitting HDDs [21:57] ilove you tossed me a link on a stratigy game creater do you still have the link ? [21:57] NoTownKasper, p2p using excessive upload bandwidth can cause tons of problem up to the bottleneck [21:57] !tab | kbot6789 [21:57] kbot6789: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [21:57] so i have to pslit it identically in two partitions [21:57] kbot6789: i gave you links for the actual game [21:57] is there a sepreate support channel for newbies to linux? I can see this channel is quite large [21:57] one as /boot outside of array [21:57] and one for array [21:57] @ilovefairuz The only gstreamer I see in the software center says it's already installed. [21:57] i am correct ? [21:57] oh yes sorry you're right there [21:58] GStreamer ffmpeg video plugin [21:58] kbot6789: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/freecraft/freecraft_1.18-2.2_i386.deb and http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fcmp/fcmp_1.18.20030311-2_all.deb [21:58] ahh for some reason they would not work hmm [21:58] after that i can make LVM 2 on raid array [21:58] Ganesh_R, relax you will get used to it. :) [21:58] id say give /boot no less than 64m (i give mine 256 just in case) [21:58] Ganesh_R, #ubuntu-beginners [21:58] warflyr: Thought so...whenever someone around here boots up eMule or one of it's clones...the whole network goes down for the rest of us...I thought it was connected to my issue for a while, until a couple days ago. Alright, thanks for the info and the assistance. As always, the Ubuntu support can't be beat. :P [21:58] kbot6789: what error are you getting when you try to install them? [21:58] what is lucid lynx? how to i know if im using lucid lynx? [21:58] 256 mb should be more then inaf [21:58] and lvm will let you define your swap on a single raid instead of making a separate raid for swap wieshka [21:59] Emanon: aha :) [21:59] lucenut: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse [21:59] @pat|ng - Lucid Lynx is Ubuntu 10.04 [21:59] wrong architecture im running 64 bit [21:59] wieshka: or you can do what i did dont make swap partition just make swap file [21:59] Emanon: also the solution [21:59] * NoTownKasper has paid hundreds of dollars to "the other guys" for support that was never this helpfull...you guys rock. Adios. [21:59] since with swap file you can easily change swap size on the fly [21:59] i donot know if thares a 64 bit version [21:59] just swapoff dd to new size swapon [21:59] Emanon: isnt swap as file performance hit ? [22:00] hi guys!!!!! [22:00] not very much if any anymore [22:00] least what i heard [22:00] !hi | chadwin [22:00] chadwin: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out.

[22:00] i told you ilove i got no idea what im doing ju7st trying to find a decent game [22:00] kbot6789: for 64bit: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/freecraft/freecraft_1.18-2.2_amd64.deb and http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fcmp/fcmp_1.18.20030311-2_all.deb [22:00] hi [22:00] and one more question - how stable is ext4 ? or better choose ext3 for production ? [22:00] wieshka, ext4 is stable now. [22:00] Is there any way to decode AVI files to MP4 format in Linux. I use Handbrake on windows but they dont supply binaries for Linux [22:01] kbot6789: when addressing someone, type the first few letters and press tab [22:01] how can i install paltalk on ubuntu 10 [22:01] Ganesh_R: ffmpeg [22:01] hmm [22:01] /tmp/freecraft_1.18-2.2_amd64.deb could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred. [22:01] kbot6789, Do you have 64 bit arch? [22:01] ok i will try to install this using apt-get [22:02] kbot6789, How are you opening it? [22:02] hope its easy... [22:02] hmmmmm i have one more problem. ..... i have feeling that alt disk will not recognize my network interface [22:02] Ganesh_R, apt-get is easy [22:02] Ganesh_R, devede will be better option :) [22:02] or the driver support is the same as live cd ? [22:02] Ganesh_R: WARNING PPA deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/handbrake-ubuntu/ppa/ubuntu lucid main #PPA for HandBrake Ubuntu Packagers [22:02] gdebi ? ilove [22:02] Exxon: : lol i meant the fffmpeg [22:02] yeah i have 64 bit [22:03] kbot6789, Did the download complete? [22:03] Ganesh_R: about ffmpeg: installing from apt-get you will not get H264 & VP8 support [22:03] no [22:03] so to gain better video quality you have to compile it [22:03] yeah the download is on my desktop [22:03] Thanks Emanon, I am not sure of how to install from this location [22:03] kbot6789, Can the archive manager open it? [22:03] hey guys is there a setting i have to change in Ubuntu to allow bluetooth devices to wake my system from sleeping? [22:04] Ganesh_R: ffmpeg is a command line tool, use http://www.miksoft.net/products/mmc_1.6.1_i386.deb if you want a graphical interface [22:04] i ask because i installed ubuntu 10.04 on a macbook pro and want to use my external display [22:04] oh sorry that was the full sources list entry [22:04] hi, how can i install paltalk on ubuntu 10 ?

[22:11] partition [22:11] No, using the ubuntu iso on a bootable USB [22:12] hmmmm ok [22:12] i will try both [22:12] ilovefairuz, says file not found and i put it in home like you said [22:12] uLinux: dual boot, dont delete partitions :) [22:12] uLinux: you have ubuntu are going to delete windows and want to expand ubuntu to fill the space? [22:12] how do I set a password for the default ubuntu user? [22:12] ilovefairuz, ur lebanese right ? [22:12] kbot6789: type 'ls' ... do you see the files? [22:12] hi [22:12] Emanon: exactly [22:12] uLinux: so you want to delete windows partition and use it in ubuntu ? [22:12] yes [22:12] FalsAlarm: is home encrypted? [22:12] !passwd | FalsAlarm [22:12] I wont use Windows anymore [22:13] ilovefairuz, yeah i see it [22:13] uLinux: id say install ubuntu from scratch its safer but if you must expand the existing drive try it from a live disk === benster is now known as _benster [22:13] uLinux: I wouldnt either after using Ubuntu, except that all my development happens on it :( [22:13] kbot6789: pastebin the command you're using and the output of 'ls' [22:13] just expand the ubuntu partition from the live disk's partition manager (gparted/wahtever) [22:13] !paste | kbot6789 [22:13] kbot6789: 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. [22:13] Ganesh_R: I just used it for gaming [22:13] but i still say do a fresh install [22:13] Exxon: Gparted doesn't recognize the partitions, but Disk Utility does [22:13] FalsAlarm, i do not know if home is encrypted [22:14] Emanon: i'd have to make backup of everything too much work [22:14] ya gaming support on Linux could be better i guess [22:14] ilove sudo gdebi freecraft 1.18-2.2 amd64.deb fcmp 1.18.20030311-2 alldeb [22:14] uLinux: reformat the partition with gparted to eg. ext4, change the fstab line if you have it so it will be mounted right and done; you'll still have a separate partition but won't need a fresh install [22:14] FalsAlarm: do a df -h , see anything which says .Private ? [22:14] ok then try your luck expanding it but just know you may lose everything anyways [22:14] or use it as a separate partition i suppose [22:14] kbot6789: why the missing dashes? '-' [22:14] jakegub, Gparted should detect fat32 file system. [22:14] Emanon: why extend if you can just mount it [22:14] geekphreak, no [22:15] and forget about it [22:15] ok let me try this again this computer hates me [22:15] wieshka: cause i like continuous filesystems not multiple [22:15] Exxon: Win7 is on NTFS though. I had this same setup before I upgraded my hard drive [22:15] jakegub, Gparted should detect fat32 /NTFS [22:15] (even if i separate / /usr and /home for obvious reasons) [22:15] FalsAlarm: then its not, just open your ubutnu deskop, click prefrences,then about me, change from there [22:15] Emanon: isnt extending only for LVM enabled partitions ? [22:15] I just want to delete Win Xp and then expand Ubuntu size [22:16] Is there a way to make applications start from the terminal? [22:16] or single ext3/4 also support extend ? [22:16] kbot6789: type the first few letters of the file name (like 'free') and press tab for auto-completion [22:16] Chrome doesnt start from the terminal. It says command not found [22:16] Ganesh_R: as in? [22:16] no wieshka you can expand other fs's its just not as sure to not screw everything up [22:16] geekphreak, i dont use a gui, just the CLI hehe [22:16] lvm its a feature other fs's its a possibility [22:16] failure: passwd username , for command [22:16] Exxon: Yeah, that's what I thought, but it doesn't. If I open Disk Utility it finds the drive and all three partitions on it. (100mb windows "swap", 200Gb Win7, and 50Gb unallocated) [22:16] someone here must know this answer..... Is there a way to connect an external display to my macbook pro, close the lid and have the external display become the primary display? This is the result you get when running Windows/Mac so I am sure there is a way to do this in Ubuntu I am just not sure how. The closest I got was my laptop screen being on while the lid was closed but that will just burnout the lcd when the extern [22:16] al is being used. I also have to mirror displays to use that method. [22:16] Firefox , pidgin can be started by typing the name in the terminal. But Chrome doesnt start like that. [22:17] Ganesh_R: try chrome-browser or something, type 'chrom' then hit tab to let it autocomplete, or 'apropos chrome' [22:17] !external [22:17] uLinux: then use a live disk's partition manager to do so [22:17] ok i got it, thanks geekphreak [22:17] Ganesh_R: its chromium-browser on linux, use that [22:17] on [22:17] how do I burn a iso inot a usb drive ? it is not ubuntu iso [22:17] Ganesh_R: why you need to start chrome fro mterminal ? [22:17] jakegub, use the unallocated as NTFS from windows and install ubuntu on that drive. [22:17] axisys: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ [22:17] I like using the terminal more [22:17] Ganesh_R: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [22:17] Emanon i was just pasting that lawl [22:18] well actually [22:18] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/ [22:18] Emanon: thanks.. let me check it out [22:18] Exxon: You're saying boot back into windows (I'm on linux liveCD right now) and format the unallocated space as NTFS and re-run the installer? [22:18] ilovefairuz, i think it locked up my bash [22:18] Emanon: Ubuntu 10.04 cd= [22:18] ? [22:18] uLinux: how big is your ubuntu and windows aprtitions ? [22:18] hey warflyr :d [22:18] kbot6789: meaning? [22:18] hey [22:18] i use the multiboot to make multi-iso toolkit thumbdrive for my computer repair work warflyr [22:18] geekphreak: It doesnt recognize my existing chrome install. Is that because i didnt install from ubuntu package repositoy? [22:18] uLinux: that should work [22:18] nevermind i see what you were doing [22:18] warflyr: i think i found the issue, not sure [22:18] long as it's the live version [22:18] anyone??? [22:18] Emanon same here, ive got like 10 isos on it including ubuntu and win7 ;) [22:18] Ganesh_R: got from google site? [22:18] wieshka: windows partition is like 30 gb.. small and ubuntu is huge [22:18] ilovefairuz, total used free shared buffers cached [22:18] Mem: 1540024 1151512 388512 0 108220 539428 [22:18] -/+ buffers/cache: 503864 1036160 [22:18] Swap: 1092380 0 1092380 [22:18] kbot6789@kbot6789-desktop:~$ [22:18] kbot6789: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:19] kbot6789, please see my private message [22:19] jakegub, so u are trying to dual boot, that what it is. :) [22:19] Ganesh_R: dont use that, use chromium-brwser instead , it is same minus loopholes from google [22:19] Emanon: that one looks like a exe file [22:19] Emanon: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Installer-1.7.9.7.exe [22:19] i need one for ubuntu [22:19] warflyr: can i pm? [22:19] kbot6789: and why are you pasting this? [22:19] Exxon: Yeah, I forgot to mention that. This has worked for me in the past. The fact that Ubuntu doesn't see the partitions any more is the mystery [22:20] because i thought you wanted me to [22:20] warflyr: i think i found the issue [22:20] Emanon: but how do I use live cd if I have Ubuntu already installed [22:20] geekphreak: Leaving chrome apart, is there a way to move our applications to run directly from the terminal? [22:20] kbot6789: i said type 'free' and press TAB (without pressing Enter) to autocomplete the file name [22:20] axisys: yea it runs on windows (sorry) [22:20] after updating samba, error has gone, so i am guessing it was loophole [22:20] Emanon: yep.. need one for ubuntu [22:20] Ganesh_R: just call them from terminal [22:21] does not do anything [22:21] uLinux: you dont have to install from the live disk just run it and resize the partition then go back to your system [22:21] Ganesh_R: create an alias for full path [22:21] in case of ssh you need to export DISPLAY="" with correct variable [22:21] kbot6789: pastebin the output of 'ls' [22:21] geekphreak: oh is there a command to do it? [22:21] axisys: might try unetbootin [22:21] Emanon: using gparted' [22:21] ? [22:21] Emanon: k [22:21] yes uLinux [22:22] Emanon: but i cant install gparted and do it [22:22] *can [22:22] unetbootin should be in your repos axisys [22:22] why do i need live cd [22:22] Ganesh_R: add alias chrome=/path in you $home/.bashrc [22:22] uLinux: its becouse booting from live cd, your HDD stays unmounted, so you can use live cd gparted fully [22:22] because you cant resize the disk you're on [22:22] cause you're on it [22:22] oh [22:22] ok i will try it. Thanks a lot guys!! 3AM here got to get some sleep [22:22] it has to be unmounted to alter its size like that [22:23] i think warflyr left [22:23] so I delete XP partition, boot from Live Cd and use gparted to fill the space [22:23] you can just boot live cd [22:23] you can delete the xp on the live disk too [22:23] either way [22:23] and delete xp from live disk [22:24] but yes basically that uLinux [22:24] !who | wieshka [22:24] wieshka: 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 :) [22:24] Should I install Silverlight on ubuntu? [22:24] Somelauw: moonlight is the linux port [22:25] Hi, can anyone give me a hand with vnc4server on ubuntu 10.04 ? I have it working, but when I connect it seems to create a new gnome-session instead of just connecting me to the already active session (ie, all the windows I have open don't show up, it looks like a fresh login) [22:25] wieshka Emanon usually I use XP cd to delete XP partition I never did it using gparted where can I find a guide [22:25] fuck, why unetbootin isnt ported to MAC OS X - now i have to find where to use it on [22:25] Emanon, does it work for all websites? [22:25] Im trying to setup wpa_supplicant over ssh so I'm connected via eth0 but I want to get wlan0 working can some one help? http://pastebin.com/WWnTj3rg [22:25] well i guess it's not possible to do outside of the Nvidia utility, just have to turn the internal display resolution to Off while i am connected to an external [22:26] Somelauw: i dont know its in dev but i hear some good things [22:26] uLinux: you will have to just delete partition, where win xp is installed [22:26] Does it work for?: http://collegerama.tudelft.nl/mediasite/SilverlightPlayer/Default.aspx? [22:26] what a pain in the rear though, would be nice to have the internal display turn off when the lid closed bleh [22:26] uLinux: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ [22:26] wieshka: and then grub is fixed automatically too? [22:26] uLinux: and you can save time - do it from gparted, not booting win xp disk also [22:26] ye [22:26] hey i need help... when i boot the ubuntu live cd it goes to a black screen [22:27] and ive tryed wubi also [22:27] tim__: pgrep wpa_supplicant [22:27] Does anyone here use Rythmbox with Rockbox? [22:27] thebotdied[ubunt when that hapens to me; i try a different ubuntu version o.0 [22:27] any clues on how to get rid of video tearing? Nvidia 9600GT... [22:27] well i dont want to be stuck on 9.04 [22:27] that was the last i could run [22:27] thebotdied[ubunt: you could try 10.10 beta [22:28] ilovefairuz: theres two processes running [22:28] is there a torrent for it? [22:28] thebotdied[ubunt: the official 10.10 release will be out in a month [22:28] tim__: killall wpa_supplicant [22:28] so thats a no [22:28] ilovefairuz: yup [22:29] I installed ubuntu netbook edition to a USB drive but when I boot it one of the partitions on the HDD is mounted at /cdrom (I don't know why) and I try to unmount it with umount which won't work so I throw it the lazy flag and it finally lets me but when the installer starts in crashes every time! [22:29] i like torrents cuz i can get a 1.6mb/s download easily [22:29] thebotdied[ubunt: yeah there should be a torrent for it [22:29] for 10.10beta? [22:29] thebotdied[ubunt: another nice thing about torrents is built-in checksums so no possibility of data corruption during xfer [22:29] wieshka: gparted will fill the space or just reformat the old xp partition? [22:30] yep [22:30] thebotdied[ubunt: nice name [22:30] okay im off to dl it on my macheine. right now im running ubuntu under virtual box === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [22:30] tim__: 'killall' is a command [22:30] thebotdied[ubunt: got links.. hang on [22:30] wait let me connect on my pc [22:30] okay? [22:31] thebotdied[ubunt: sure [22:31] uLinux: with gparted you can delete xp partition to make it unallocated and then you can try at your own risk to expand your existing ubuntu partition with unallocated space [22:31] thebotdied[ubunt: /msg me [22:31] thebotdied[ubunt: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ [22:31] thebotdied[ubunt: stay in the channel [22:31] ilovefairuz: thats not out yet [22:31] wieshka: at my own risk? shouldn't gparted be safe [22:31] sebsebseb: he was looking for a link [22:31] thebotdied[ubunt: 32-bit: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ubuntu-10.10-beta-desktop-i386.iso.torrent [22:32] you never can be sure for 100% when dealing with HDD - what ever what tool you use [22:32] thebotdied[ubunt: 63-bit: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ubuntu-10.10-beta-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent [22:32] errr.. 64 bit [22:32] ilovefairuz: yeah Ive killed wpa and tried to start with sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf but I just get a flashing cursor. [22:32] (the extra bit was hiding under the covers) [22:32] thebotdied[ubunt: 9.04 is one of the best releases, it will run out of support at the end of next month, 10.10 final will come out on Sunday the 10th next month, and well if that won't work on your computer, I expect some other distro would, and probably not really a good idea for you to get 10.10 just yet [22:32] not really uLinux thats why i suggested fresh install [22:32] tim__: that means it's running [22:32] it usually works fine but occasionally resizing a partition can corrupt data on the partition [22:32] ok im thebotdied [22:32] whats the link again [22:33] pspfreak: 64-bit: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ubuntu-10.10-beta-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent [22:33] I'm having trouble getting DNATing to work in iptables.

I'm kinda noob with IRC, so sorry for erveything if I don't get it fast enough. I'm looking for someone who could help me use Unetbootin on a IBM, so basically go from Windows to Linux with a USB stick. Can anyone tell me if I'm at the right place, and if yes, can anyone help me ? [22:37] pspfreak: 9.04 is awesome (except for a tiny little feature that I didn't like) [22:37] I suspect it's due to the fact that the 10.04 release was the first to abandon the ANSI boot menu and just boot straight to gnome for the installer... [22:37] warflyr: 8.10 is a awesoem unsupported release, 8.04 is still good [22:37] I cannot unmount a partition on my hdd [22:38] Galeo: if you want ubuntu, yes its the right place [22:38] I tried to umount /dev/sda2 on my system. Can't unmount it. I tried fuser mount and killed the process. No luck. [22:38] hey you gave me the 64 bit version twise [22:38] Yes, I do. ^^ [22:38] I'm having trouble getting DNATing to work in iptables. Outbound connections are fine (using SNAT).

[22:39] l337ingDisorder: there you are recommending a development version, to someone who can't seem to find the correct version for their computer hmm [22:39] pspfreak: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ubuntu-10.10-beta-desktop-i386.iso.torrent [22:39] thx [22:39] pspfreak: Why don;'t you want to be on 9.04? [22:39] that's a good point - 9.04 is pretty solid [22:39] pspfreak: 9.04 is one of the best versions of Ubuntu [22:39] Galeo: unetbootin is pretty straight forward, plug in usb(make sure its empty or formatted), start unetbootin select ubuntu (32 or 64 bit) or you can download the iso you want and use it, select what letter the usb stick is and just start the process [22:40] How can I "safe" extract a wifi usb dongle? [22:40] 9.10 was a bit of a let-down for me, i went back to 9.04 until 10.04 hit beta [22:40] l337ingDisorder: yeah 9.10 was a let down for many [22:40] ilovefairuz: well, it just doesn't recognize the program [22:40] Any help unmounting a device? [22:40] edbian: what device ? [22:40] rolandpish: try: poff [22:40] edbian: try ##linux ? [22:40] sebsebseb: actually 8.10 was a bit of a let-down too... I guess the ubu devs just do better work in the summer heheh [22:41] werrr [22:41] better work in the winter, that is [22:41] Galeo: what's the exact error you get? [22:41] l337ingDisorder: no 8.10 is really the last properly good version of Ubuntu, but explaining why, would be off topic for in here [22:41] (I guess the ubu devs just do better drugs in the summer heheheh) [22:41] how do I determine the driver used for eth0 ? [22:41] 1.7mb/s download on this torrent [22:41] ilovefairuz, thanks. As root or as a normal user?

I tried using fusermount and killing the process. No such luck. The installer crashes everytime I think because of this issue. I am not new to linux. [22:42] actually, what I have is the following : I tried putting off all starting devices except removable medias, cause it wouldn't let the USB start on its own. The prob is now that I just get a 1962: No operating system found. Press F1 to repeat boot sequence. I noticed there were a few problems with IBM's in general, but it's probably me [22:42] ilovefairuz: since he wasn't being answered here, plus I know him on here, so hes fine getting help in ##linux when this channel won't do it for him [22:42] wieshka: lol right on... I moved to CentOS for all my server deployments quite some time ago.. [22:43] Kaspi, I'm under xubuntu and I cannot find the "Computer" place. [22:43] l337ingDisorder: i have software running what depends on ubuntu 6.04 :) [22:43] only reason [22:43] ilovefairuz: also Ubuntu is actsaully, becoming well quite unlike other distros at the moment that use Gnome, but thats completly off topic for this channel [22:43] l337ingDisorder: for server i prefer debian [22:43] Galeo: if you've got any other media it will boot from look up http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html [22:43] edbian: what error message does umount report? [22:44] edbian: sorry, no ideas [22:44] wieshka: well if yer gonna run ubu server 6.04 is a good distro, a lot closer to straight deb than any of the more recent distros [22:44] sebsebseb: you did not even ask for the details of the question [22:44] wieshka: and super-small memory footprint compared even to 8.04 [22:44] ilovefairuz, /cdrom device is busy [22:44] I'll read that, I try and I'm back aeon-ltd. Thx. ;) [22:44] ilovefairuz, then it suggests lsof and fuser. [22:44] l337ingDisorder: as XEN domU it works perfectly :) [22:45] rolandpish: i don't know the xubuntu's interface, try looking for something similar [22:45] edbian: pastebin the output of: sudo fdisk -l; mount [22:45] edbian, lsof /cdrom [22:45] wieshka: yeah I have a couple colleagues who are 100% in the debian server camp.. All the servers I maintain are web application servers so CentOS seems to be the best option as it's pretty much centered around web hosting (gets package updates super fast, etc) [22:45] I have hooked up another monitor to my laptop here and the screen for the laptop is all dark now...like realllyyy dim...anyone know how I can fix this? [22:46] wieshka: but for general-purpose servers deb seems to be a good standard for sure [22:46] fedora_newb, try a fedora channel? [22:46] ilovefairuz, I can't. This is on a different machine [22:46] l337ingDisorder: what i like in debian - the package will not be launched on repos if they will not be sure for 99% that it is stable [22:46] Its ubuntu.... [22:46] ;) [22:46] I should change my nick...but too lazy lol [22:47] edbian: It's odd that your windows partition is mounted to /cdrom in the first place. Can you pastebin the output of "mount" and "sudo blkid"? [22:47] wieshka: that tends to be the case with most distros.. CentOS is based on Red Hat so it has the benefit of commercial enterprises demanding faster updates through RHEL (which trickle down almost immediately to the CentOS world and the Fedora world) [22:47] maedox, lsof: two warning about tmpfs /cow and /home/ubuntu/.gvfs [22:47] fedora_newb: oh you started with Fedora? not really the best distro to start with, Ubuntu is good to start with, as well as a few others :) [22:47] Kaspi, ok, thanks a lot. I'll try first what ilovefairuz suggested, then look for that option. [22:47] l337ingDisorder: i am basicly running very very complicated web pages and somesoftware & scripts, so i even do not update, while i havent tested it on develope server [22:47] edbian, /home/ubuntu? are you on a live-cd? [22:47] so fast updates isnt priority for me [22:47] Jordan_U, I can't pastebin anything. What do you want to know from mount? /dev/sda2 on /cdrom type fuseblk (standard options) [22:47] wieshka: that said, deb and centos are pretty equally-qualified as server environments :) [22:48] sebsebseb...i started with ubuntu...but I played around with fedora a bit as well and thats when I started using irc [22:48] maedox, live usb. I said that [22:48] fedora_newb: oh ok [22:48] Having problems with Ubuntu 9.10 and an Asus motherboard. Won't go to sleep after 30 minutes (as is set in power management) and when I do click the sleep button myself it sleeps and wakes right back up. Also, when computer is idle (or if I hit the sleep button) i have to rmmod b43 and modprobe b43 my wifi drivers...any advice? [22:48] edbian, ok, sorry. didn't notice. [22:48] edbian: does it have internet access? sudo apt-get install pastebinit, and then: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit - .. and mount | pastebinit - [22:48] ilovefairuz, Hang on a second [22:48] anyone know how i can get the brightness back on my laptop screen though? The brightness level is all the way up on the laptop...so its an ubuntu thing [22:49] wieshka: yeah that's the awesome thing about cloud-based servers... for $11/mo you get a dedicated cloud server through rackspace.. then it's like 3 clicks to clone your server if you want to test any new dev project or updates... anything goes wrong, your main server is still untouched (don't even have to roll back snapshots) [22:49] l337ingDisorder: aha :) [22:49] ilovefairuz, I'll get the target machine online and be right back. [22:49] anybody know how to unzip something from a samba share? [22:49] wieshka: and rackspace has pre-built server images (equivalent to Amazon's AMI's) for Debian, Centos, RHEL, Ubuntu (a few versions), etc etc.. also windows servers (lord knows why) [22:50] wieshka: (heh that's my rackspace plug.. cause they're awesome) [22:50] edbian: I'm trying to figure out what device is being used to host your root fs. Normally with a unetbootin install that would be the flash drive (mounted to /cdrom) containing the squashfs image which would be mounted with unionfs for your actual root. [22:50] l337ingDisorder: all my virtual hosts are ~20-50 Gb size (external data storage) - so i just copy LVM partition and small edit in conf file - done - exact copy of develop server ready for tests [22:50] ] [22:50] edbian: Why can't you use pastebin? [22:50] sikilpaake: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [22:50] Jordan_U, I can now. [22:50] I am trying to install the OTR plugin for pidgin, but i just don't get how to do it. I have downloaded pidgin-otr-3.2.0.tar.gz to download folder. Then i try "tar zxf pidgin-otr-3.2.0.tar.gz, but only get error message: "tar: pidgin-otr-3.2.0.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory". What to do? [22:51] ilovefairuz: thanks [22:51] bfsd: i believe theres a .deb? [22:51] Jordan_U, ilovefairuz maedox What command do we want to see in a pasetbin? [22:51] im burning the iso now [22:51] b0tz: no you don't need a tar.gz its in the repo [22:51] wieshka: yea more or less the same process heheh.. LVM is the best thing since sliced bread... ;) [22:51] b0tz: then you enable the plugin in pidgin [22:51] sebsebseb, i know, i alreaydh ave it installed [22:51] bfsd is the one needin help [22:51] <_Tristan> I've got lucid on a server and it won't connect to the network over ethernet. It doesn't even show an ethernet interface in /dev or ifconfig. What should I do? [22:52] command(s) [22:52] edbian: "mount" and "sudo blkid". [22:52] bfsd: i think apt-get install pidgin-otr [22:52] l337ingDisorder: ofcorse seconf option is to use .img based vhosts, but it is a performace hit for I/O [22:52] bfsd: install the "pidgin-otr" package from your preferred package manager (e.g.: sudo apt-get install pidgin-otr), then enable it from the plugins window. [22:52] edbian: sudo fdisk -l; mount; sudo blkid; sudo lsof /cdrom [22:52] _Tristan: it doesn't even show the 'lo' interface?? [22:52] <_Tristan> l337ingDisorder: Yes [22:52] thanks. will try [22:52] <_Tristan> nothing else, though [22:53] _Tristan: try manual mount [22:53] wieshka: I just have every web project separated on their own servers... then if one project starts chewing through bandwidth the audit trail is easy to follow [22:53] <_Tristan> wieshka: sorry? What's that? [22:53] ilovefairuz: i kind of want to do this sudo unzip "/home/verbatim/.gvfs/02_tuukulsuul on 192.168.1.103/03_web/wordpress-3.0.1.zip" -d /home/verbatim/Desktop/share/httpdocs/ [22:53] ifconfig lo up && ifconfig eth0 up [22:54] I'm having trouble getting DNATing to work in iptables. Outbound connections are fine (using SNAT). However any inbound to the DNATs I've setup are sliently dropped. I have interfaces up for each IP so it should be ARPing for the IPs. Tcpdumps show the SYN coming in but not leaving. Dmesg only shows rp_filter noise from a misconfigured device on a diff subnet. Other than that there are no relivent logs. Nat policy: http://pastebin.com/yAE8cE24 Ubuntu 10 [22:54] <_Tristan> wieshka: lo went fine but eth0 gave me "no such device" [22:54] sikilpaake: looks like it should work [22:54] ilovefairuz: unzip doesn't like what's inside the quotes [22:54] hey guys i have a cableing question, anyone up for a pm on it? [22:55] n0a1ias: best to ask in the chan [22:55] sikilpaake: cd to the directory ? [22:55] n0a1ias: more chance of accurate reply, and more chance it can benefit someone else and save them having to ask the same question [22:55] !ask | n0a1ias [22:55] n0a1ias: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:55] ilovefairuz: out of the box, good idea [22:55] ilovefairuz: lemme try that [22:55] n0a1ias: so a hardware or networking issue? [22:55] _Tristan: sorry - i am not so advanced in network problem solving [22:55] n0a1ias: join ##hardware [22:55] n0a1ias: ##hardware ##networking [22:55] neither, [22:56] <_Tristan> wieshka: that's alright, thanks anyways. [22:56] ilovefairuz, Jordan_U http://paste.ubuntu.com/494971/ [22:56] n0a1ias: fire away, worst case scenario we'll call you names and make fun of you (j/k hehe) [22:56] i have a plug, its like an RGB connector, and i need an adapter to Ethernet [22:57] n0a1ias: isnt that serial ? [22:57] i need to leave the male end of the plug alone [22:57] and no its like this [22:57] ... [22:57] n0a1ias: identify the connector first [22:57] http://www.freestockphotos.biz/stockphoto/6159\ [22:57] ilovefairuz, Jordan_U weird isn't it? [22:57] woah.. i've never heard of anyone patching rgb to ethernet... [22:58] n0a1ias: what is this for? [22:58] it carries video for a black and white security cam [22:58] ilovefairuz, pid 371 is mount.ntfs btw [22:58] im using the camera in an underwater ROV, and need the vesitility of ethernet [22:58] Jordan_U, ^ [22:58] !tab | Galeo [22:58] Galeo: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [22:58] !who | Galeo [22:58] Galeo: 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 :) [22:58] Partition for RAID 1 must be as logical or primary - or no matter ? [22:59] http://www.homebuiltrovs.com/seafoxretrofit.html [22:59] similiar to that [22:59] How can I make it so my hard drive partitions show up on my desktop (like in mac os x) [22:59] mount them, snake_ click places, then right click the partition and select mount [23:00] uhh [23:00] edbian: See if you can umount /dev/sdb1. If you can I will be both less and more confused :) [23:00] n0a1ias, no i mean my filesystem. [23:01] oh, simply drag and drop snake_ [23:01] n0a1ias: you have a composite signal out of the camera, and you want to run it to what exactly? [23:01] hi [23:01] n0a1ias, oh.. thx :) [23:01] a computer, using his software [23:01] Jordan_U, Yep. NO problems there. [23:01] Jordan_U, sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/tmp no errors and it's in there. [23:02] edbian: *u*mount [23:02] n0a1ias: and why not just use a composite video cable to a video ingest card on the computer ? [23:02] Jordan_U, /dev/sdb1 was never mounted until now. It is a 32 Mb flash drive. [23:02] i don't have one, i already had the camera and im too broke to get one, hah [23:02] nope didnt work. it won't allow me to drag / to the desktop (or make a link which is what i want) [23:03] edbian: What USB drive did you boot from? [23:03] Jordan_U, O whoops. Pardon me. No it's not. It's the flash drive that I'm running ubunt ufrom [23:03] Jordan_U, sorry! [23:03] try right clicking then copy [23:03] try right clicking then copy snake_ [23:03] Jordan_U, Ok I umounted /dev/sdb1 [23:03] Jordan_U, The usb stick is now completely unmounted. [23:04] n0a1ias, sorry but why would i want to copy the contents of my disk onto my desktop. [23:04] n0a1ias: why not just run the composite video to a tv/monitor then? [23:04] Jordan_U, I'm assuming the OS I'm running now should crash? But it appears fine [23:04] Jordan_U, /dev/sda2 persists (course that's not a surprise right now). What is the point of unmounting the live USB? [23:04] snake_, idk your the one who asked, and that would copy whatever partion link u selected [23:05] n0a1ias, well i meant a link, sorry. [23:05] Anyone know what it takes to brighten a laptop screen after connecting another monitor ? [23:05] and iter his software is built on incorporating the video, [23:05] edbian: The point of umounting the USB is that it shouldn't be possible with the way unetbootin works, and it confirms that the current setup is actually reading a squashfs image from your windows partition rather than the flash drive. [23:06] Jordan_U, ! :) Brilliant! [23:06] n0a1ias: getting composite video into a computer requires hardware [23:06] Jordan_U, You're the bestest. I actually was messing around with running the same image from unetbootin in windows. [23:06] n0a1ias: you can't just magick it in there :) [23:06] i can solder, but its such a thick cable, will it transfer to a single ethernet cable? [23:06] Jordan_U, I can now go back and prove to myself I'm running from the live USB (using the bios) [23:06] Jordan_U, I could kiss you! [23:06] iter, nope, i skipped that class [23:06] It's so obvious now! [23:07] n0a1ias: Check this: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Run-Composite-Video-Through-an-Ethernet-Jac/ [23:07] I'm having trouble getting DNATing to work in iptables. Outbound connections are fine (using SNAT). However any inbound to the DNATs I've setup are sliently dropped. I have interfaces up for each IP so it should be ARPing for the IPs.

Nat policy: http://pastebin.com/yAE8cE24 Ubuntu 10 [23:07] wow, thats an oddly specific link... [23:08] n0a1ias: second hit from a google search for "composite to ethernet" [23:08] l337ingDisorder: nice nick [23:08] * l337ingDisorder has mad google skills... as long as it's simple googling ;) [23:08] thanks iter :) [23:08] How can I make it so my hard drive partitions show up on my desktop (like in mac os x) [23:08] * l337ingDisorder also has mad cooking skills as long as whatever I'm cooking comes out of a can [23:09] l337ingDisorder, n0a1ias: but once you have that video running over the cable what do you do with it [23:09] not like you can just plug it into your NIC [23:09] oh, i tryed that i thought... o well [23:09] and http://www.homebuiltrovs.com/seafoxretrofit.html [23:09] l337ingDisorder, you probably have mad learning skills too [23:09] all the software is there iter [23:09] also i looks like i can just solder the cable right to it. [23:10] snake_: you mean just the icons for all drives? [23:10] thanks [23:10] snake_: open then in Nautilus - they'll automount and the icons will show up [23:10] how do i add a new icon to UNRs desktop manually.? [23:10] jim: I like to think so (well, when my 1337ing disorder isn't flaring up...) [23:10] n0a1ias: sorry dude but video ingest requires some A->D conversion [23:10] bobstro, yes. [23:10] I can't get it to clear that unetbootin image [23:10] n0a1ias: what are you going to plug the other end of the rj45 into? [23:10] and I messed up the bootloader so I can't boot without a CD rom [23:10] yea, its all on the sight [23:10] site*8 [23:10] ok that's better [23:11] I download python through "sudo apt-get install python" and get the message that i allready have the newst version. I have. But it's the newest 2. version. not 3.1 that i want. How do i download python 3.1.2? [23:11] a computer, [23:11] how do i add a new icon to UNRs desktop manually? [this is typo fix [23:11] snake_: only mounted, or all? [23:11] bfsd: the version in the official repos isn't the newest version.. when you use apt-get it only compares your version to the official repo version. [23:12] bfsd: hang on a sec.. [23:12] bfsd: sudo apt-get install python3 [23:12] bfsd: what version of ubuntu are you running? [23:12] bobstro, the hdd partitions i want to show up my desktop, are always mounted. becouses i edited my fstab so they auto mount. now i just want links on my deskttop. [23:12] l337ingDisorder: heh - video over ethernet .... last month i tested ethernet over office electricity - works pretty good :) [23:12] bobstro, yes the mounted ones [23:12] ubuntu netbook newest [23:12] I'm having a lot of problems w/ ubuntu 10.04 (OO sluggish/locks up, didnt import macros, Empathy sometimes takes ~60%cpu, locks up, fullscreen games run at 100%cpu ad lock up the USB ports,monitor not detected correctly and so wont allow higher rez, etc). I'm trying to figure out if this is a pervasive ubuntu problem or if I messed up install or something? [23:13] lingDIsorder, ljl thanks. will try. [23:13] wieshka: yea if you have clean lines that's an excellent way to avoid having to run cables and do wall-drops! X-10 was offering audio-over-electrical like a decade ago.. taht was pretty tight - plug your stereo into the wall, plug your speakers into the wall upstairs in the bedroom... [23:13] but i might just have it go back to RYB at the top like u said, and use a generator, to power the moniter [23:13] Verminator: You probably need to install the graphics driver [23:13] LjL how do i find what "repo" name it is for a program? [23:13] bfsd: hmmm not sure about netbook but if it's the newest version then yea hopefully just apt-get install python3 should do it for ya [23:14] l337ingDisorder: mmmm, i am dreaming about video over electrisity - it will solve me lenty of problems [23:14] bfsd: "apt-cache search keywords" will help you find package names [23:14] hi [23:14] psh video over electricity. I use video over air. It is glorious. [23:14] wieshka: hmmm... that should be even easier to do than audio over electricy [23:15] wieshka: but yea rww is right, you can get wireless A/V sets now [23:15] gpmidi_wrk, I was using an integrated vard w/ the nvidia driver, I recently upgraded to an invidia 6600LE and stillusing the nvidia driver. [23:15] electricty over air is even more fun...unless you have metal toilets [23:15] wieshka: I don't think there's any full HDMI wireless a/v yet.. but won't be long [23:15] Verminator: all of those problems point to a lack of video accel (at least afaik). [23:15] gpmidi_wrk: lawl, faraday the toilets the new standard [23:15] l337ingDisorder: we have one guy at office who makes wireless a/v by him self - but it is SD only, max 480p [23:15] n0a1ias: that guy uses a video ingest card for the video [23:15] gpmidi_wrk: hahah yea I want a tesla coil on my roof [23:16] i need at least 720p [23:16] I am using ubuntu netbook. What are the main differences to common ubuntu? And why does ubntu give me an expected battery time of 3h while windows gives me well over 5? [23:16] anyone can help me with wpa-psk crack? [23:16] wieshka: yea that sounds about right [23:16] any video wiz in here? [23:16] oh, [23:16] Verminator: you have the non-free driver installed? [23:16] root_: try #black-hats ;) [23:16] root_, please tell me your not running xchat as root. [23:16] i am running ubuntu 10.04; when i run "do-release-upgrade -d" to upgrade to maverick; i get the error "Can not run the upgrade. This usually is caused by a system were /tmp is mounted noexec. Please remount without noexec and run the upgrade again."; problem is, i only have one partition - /tmp isn't mounted separate; full output available here: http://robfrawley.com/files/upgrade-out.txt; what is wrong? [23:16] bfsd: power consumption, unr is exactly the same as reg ubuntu but with a new gui (but still gnome) [23:16] yes i a [23:16] am [23:16] oooooh [23:17] what a target [23:17] l337ingDisorder: bascily all my linux work is around the video staff - so i have made plenty of experiments :) [23:17] root_, oh, bt4 told me that was bad, i dont know why though. [23:17] root_....you fool [23:17] what? [23:17] thats what i thought [23:17] gpmidi_wrk, yes, the recomended prorpietary driver. [23:17] snake_: it's because anyone who knows xchat exploits can now hack his system [23:17] root_: fail, for someone who intends to break encryption [23:17] can anyone tell me how to get my monitor on my laptop brighter? Its really dim :( [23:17] Verminator: hmm, idk then, hopefully one of the other guys knows [23:18] like... bad enough to run xchat as root, but to say so in a public channel... man oh man [23:18] especially when looking for advice on hacking [23:18] l337ingDisorder: This channel doesn't help with cracking wireless, also you shoudn't run IRC as root. [23:18] too funny [23:18] lol, its so obvious [23:18] l337ingDisorder: facepalms^10 [23:18] fedora_newb: does the laptop have a "function" (fn) key and possibly brightness + and - keys to go along with it? [23:18] l337ingDisorder: uh what/ [23:18] fedora_newb, yes usually a key combo on the laptop control brightness, usually specific to your laptop [23:18] l337ingDisorder: why did that get sent to you? [23:18] gpmidi_wrk, thx [23:18] sebsebseb: I was wondering the same thing heheh [23:18] sslashes, its all the way up [23:18] heh, irc and exploits - sounds like a old times on windows :) [23:19] l337ingDisorder: I guess since they left [23:19] fedora_newb: then how do you expect to brighten the display? if the backlight is as high as it can be, you are not going to get your display any brighter... [23:19] man.. I'd love to see root_ hop into a channel where people would actually be willing to explain how to crack WPA, and mention that he's using xchat as root... rofl.. he'd be rooted faster than a dutch whore [23:19] anyone know why do-release-upgrade is failing on me like this? [23:20] l337ingDisorder: :D [23:20] sslashes, well i hooked up another monitor to it and installed the nvidia driver...but now its darker than it was [23:20] it was brighter earlier, now its just really dark... [23:20] i'm getting "syntax error near unexpected token 'fi'" in line 7 .bashrc. lines 6-7 are: "if [[ -n "$PS1" ]]; then
fi" any help? [23:20] fedora_newb, is it them dcl lcds? [23:20] root_: join #skript-kiddiez and tell them you're running xchat as root (and broadcast your IP to save them all a step too) [23:20] Hello peeps.. Anyone know how, using Ubuntu 10.04 , how to change the login screen.. and where to get the gdk2 screens ;) [23:20] dcl lcd? not sure [23:21] sslashes: well i suppose at boot you could start without the noexec option [23:21] l337ingDisorder: maybe one of the many ignorant people, who use Backtrack 4 as a desktop OS, and so yeah root online for IRC. Yeah the type of people who don't reolize its for security penetration and such only, and just, because it was based on Ubuntu doesn't mean it should be used as a desktop OS.

[23:21] fedora_newb: open up the nvidia control panel and change the brightness option then [23:21] fedora_newb, oh, well if you dont see it anywhere on it then its not. [23:21] yeah, but it doesn't give you that option anymore.. :( [23:22] ZekeS: running IRC as root is a major security risk [23:22] sslashes...didn't help...:/ [23:22] sebsebseb: i know [23:22] ZekeS yea some kid came in a couple mins ago asking for help cracking WPA-PSK and he was using xchat as root [23:22] aeon-ltd: my hosting provider is media temple and i am using the virtual linux (ve) setup - i don't have any control of boot options [23:22] it changed on both of my displays, sslashes [23:22] It was a wtf reaction, tvtrope Flat What etc. [23:22] haywardgb: wha.. hang on [23:22] :D === Ejdesgaard_ is now known as Ejdesgaard [23:23] haywardgb: woah! [23:23] aeon-ltd: and noexec isn't a paramiter for my mounted drive anyway... [23:23] is it possible to resize my /home without rebooting, say, with a Ubuntu LiveCD? because I just happen to not have one handy right now, so help is very appreciated [23:23] yeah, that was my reaction too... [23:23] !language > ZekeS [23:23] ZekeS, please see my private message [23:23] sslashes: your trying to remotely upgrade a machine? [23:23] haywardgb: I haven't bothered with that since 8.04 [23:23] "help cracking WPA-PSK and he was using xchat as root", hahahahaahahahahahah, thats funny [23:23] aeon-ltd: yes [23:23] haywardgb: read this thread yet? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1495834 [23:23] MashTomato: no I don't think so [23:24] sslashes: what kind of control do you have?, just ssh? [23:24] I'm looking for an remote desktop app. that can store the settings on an central database... any suggestions? [23:24] i could do it in older versions, but since the latest version and since ditching windows for good.. i found i can't change the login screen anymore :( [23:24] For crying out loud -- [23:24] MashTomato: /home is on a separate partitino? [23:24] aeon-ltd: yup; ssh [23:24] sebsebseb: oh :( [23:24] jrib: yes [23:24] Could someone help me with the hyerogliphs in the terminal? I'm novice in Ubuntu (See details, please....http://paste.ubuntu.com/494968/) [23:24] anybody know what the syntax error is in following .bashrc code: "if [[ -n "$PS1" ]]; then fi" ? (just upgraded to 10.04) [23:24] fedora_newb: besides the nvidia control panel and the display backlight, there is no other way to change the display brightness [23:24] maxwellscott: missing expression after 'then' [23:24] MashTomato: maybe if its on a seperate partiiton some how, but Ubuntu will still want to put program user data on to it, you know the hidden .folders in home? [23:25] maxwellscott: if [[ -n "$PS1" ]]; then true; fi [23:25] maxwellscott: there's nothing between then and fi... you need a command or something in there [23:25] sslashes...bummer, wonder why it went dim though... [23:25] MashTomato: maybe jrib knows something that I don't on this subject [23:25] * l337ingDisorder nods at MashTomato [23:25] heys need help i just update my ubtuntu and reboot!! now i can't log to graphic and in the logs when i type sudo get this: -bash: /usr/bin/sudo: cannot execute binary file [23:25] hmm, preceding comment reads "# If not running interactively, don't do anything" -- is there some expression for "don't do anything"? [23:25] sebsebseb: okay, but thank you [23:25] sslashes, could it be the nvidia driver i installed? [23:25] aeon-ltd: is there any other option besides do-release-upgrade to do the upgrade [23:25] maxwellscott: yes, 'true' [23:25] MashTomato: you can log out as all users, log in as root (or create a user with a home directory outside home and admin access) and then unmount the partition at least. Whether it's safe to resize it or not if you're using another partition on the same drive, I'm not sure [23:26] Wish there were more linux user groups in London ... Sigh!!!! [23:26] how do i add a new icon to UNRs desktop manually? [23:26] awesome thank you :) [23:26] sslashes: dist-upgrade, but that only works on official releases [23:26] fedora_newb: the nvidia driver may have different brightness/contrast/gamma settings, so yeah - do you have 3d excelleration now? [23:26] jrib: oh your recommending root to be used in Ubuntu? for this kind of thing? interesting since your one of the o p s :D [23:26] maxwellscott: what is the purpose of that bash line? [23:26] haywardgb: GLLUG isn't good enough for you? [23:26] jrib: aw, that sounds a little adventorous to me.. I guess I should just order a Ubuntu DVD from canonical (they're free for launchpad members, if I recall correctly) [23:26] haywardgb: just remember! always check your data for correctness! [23:27] he's gone === digitaltao is now known as digitaltao-food [23:27] MashTomato: well CDs are pretty cheap. The cd from canonical will take like 4-6 weeks. Even better, if you have a LoCo near you, they'll usually give you a disc [23:27] hmmm... and so, too, should I be. [23:27] MashTomato: why do you want to re size it by the way? [23:27] aeon-ltd: hmm... i'm stumped... i ran the upgrade on my laptop with no problem, but it just won't get past this point (see output here: robfrawley.com/files/upgrade-out.txt) on my server box [23:27] sslashes, im not seeing no 3d acceleration in the nvidia control panel...but i did activate the current version ubuntu showed me [23:27] sebsebseb: hey I offered an alternative :) [23:27] jrib: yeah [23:27] erUSUL: comment said it was to not do anything if running interactively; MashTomato's response seemed to fix it [23:27] sebsebseb: my /home is too small :P [23:28] fuck .... i live in country where is one of the best network speeds globally - i even live in capital city, where optical cable connection isnt problem - but in my house - there is DSL only (10 mbit/sec) [23:28] jrib: well yeah, but you know the Big No Of Ubuntu, just like I do, don't use root :D use sudo instead, but yeah can't use sudo for everything root can do [23:28] !language | wieshka [23:28] wieshka: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:28] sebsebseb: family friendly ? :) ok, anyway - sorry :) [23:29] wieshka: i wish i had 10 mbit/sec! [23:29] sslashes: can't you just wait for 10.10 to come out?, it may just be authentication error [23:29] sslashes: although you could try "mount -o remount exec /tmp" === Eclectic is now known as Sovereign [23:29] sslashes: but thats just a guess [23:29] wieshka: what would be 'normal' for your city? [23:29] I'm installing ubuntu with software raid, but it has been stuck for 20 minutes in formating /, at 33%... should I wait or try again? [23:29] fedora_newb: run "glxinfo|grep direct" in a terminal window; if it says "yes" you have direct rendering; if it says "no" you don't [23:29] MashTomato: if your going to do stuff with Linux partitions, it is the easiest to use a Live CD [23:30] maxwellscott: the line as written here does nothing. what i have in bashrc is « [ -z "$PS1" ] && return » [23:30] sebsebseb: yeah, i'm searching for a LoCo near my location, so I don't have to wait 4 weeks [23:30] Could someone help me with the hyerogliphs in the terminal? I'm novice in Ubuntu (See details, please....http://paste.ubuntu.com/494968/) [23:30] that is, so I can order a DVD [23:30] MashTomato: that was an estimate [23:30] gartral: yeah - but i pay ~30 $ for my internet - 10 mbit/sec, over the street they pay ~32$ for 50mb garanted, but mostly little bit under 100 mbit/sec [23:30] sslashes: The program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed. [23:30] MashTomato: it might only be like two or so weeks, if you order an offical CD [23:30] aeon-ltd: thats whats crazy; I only have a root partition, and /tmp lives in that partition; /tmp isn't a separate partition [23:30] MashTomato: depending on where you are and such === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [23:30] yeah, I know, but you get the point :P [23:30] fedora_newb: install mesa-utils [23:30] fedora_newb: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils [23:30] MashTomato: why resize home anyway? [23:31] MashTomato: you can also just buy a blank cd, or buy the dvd from amazon which would be pretty fast. Where are you located? [23:31] sebsebseb: I answered before; because it's too small :P [23:31] MashTomato: ideally you would want a big /home ok so its to small? the seperate partition? and 12GB or so for / and yep maybe a bit of swap space as well [23:31] wieshka: im getting ripped off! im paying $45 usd for 7.5 mbit [23:31] !ru | dirijat [23:31] dirijat: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [23:31] jrib: EU, Germany [23:31] sslashes, ran the command and it says direct rendering yes [23:31] MashTomato: if you have a big enough USB stick, you could make a bootable Ubuntu USB [23:31] what is the correct way to chmod a directory with everything underneath (files and folders) [23:31] bobstro: in Latvia , Riga, there even are places, where you can get 500 mb/sec less then $80 [23:32] OK, thanks. The Russians are sleeping..... [23:32] guys, on wich chat can i talk about wpa2-psk cracking? [23:32] Brutus: -R. Doing this in the wrong place (like most places outside your /home) is a great way to wreck your install though [23:32] sebsebseb: I remember trying that before; it didn't work, because my BIOS doesn't appear to recognize the USB port as possible bootable location, and I didn't quite feel like playing around in my BIOS settings [23:32] !permissions > Brutus [23:32] Brutus, please see my private message [23:32] i understand -R but i don't know how [23:32] sslashes...is that suppose to help me? [23:33] Brutus: what directory? Why are you chmodding it? [23:33] i'm trying to chmod directory ~/complete [23:33] Brutus: what syntax did you try? [23:33] MashTomato: oh well chagning the boot order in BIOS's tends to be pretty easy [23:33] !who | Brutus [23:33] Brutus: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:33] john20: ask google - but one thing i can say you - first of all it will take a long time, and you will have to have to wireless interfaces - one as active on as passive [23:33] sebsebseb: I do believe you, but I still don't want to, if I don't really have to :P [23:34] can i change gui in netbook ubuntu to the reglar one or should i just get regular ubuntu? [23:34] jrib: i'm trying to access directory's there, but i'm not able because i moved them from the root account to the local user account [23:34] MashTomato: lap top or desktop? [23:34] desktop [23:34] Brutus: so you want to change the owner? [23:34] MashTomato: on lap tops its like hit F12 and get a thing up for the boot order as a tempory change [23:34] jrib: chmod 777 should do the trick, but i wan't to be able to do that [23:34] jrib: chmod (what do i fill in after that) [23:34] Brutus: are you sure you don't want to change the OWNER instead of the permissions? [23:34] MashTomato: CD R's are rather cheap to buy these days [23:34] o [23:35] jrib: i need an easy way to do this every time [23:35] Brutus: why? [23:35] sebsebseb: so it's for desktop systems, but still- thanks for the help, I'm just grad me a DVD and do it the safe way :P [23:35] jrib: because i'm going to do this on daily basis? [23:35] grab*, even [23:35] MashTomato: ok well have fun waiting for your offical CD, or whatever :D [23:35] jrib: if changing ownership is easy then that could be the solution, otherwise chmod [23:35] ubuntu doesnt detect my external usb hdd (doesnt appear on desktop). my usb port and the cable works. my os also detects other usb HDDs. might the problem be the mac journal formatting? [23:36] jrib: but i'm unable to find out how to use the option. chmod: cannot access '777' : no such file or directory [23:36] sebsebseb: no, I'll grab me a DVD rom, and burn it with the DVD release of ubuntu :P [23:36] noone: could be. maybe you have to mount it manually [23:36] sebsebseb: although I usually order a branded DVD from ubuntu.. mostly for shits and giggles :P [23:36] Brutus: if you explained exactly what you are doing then maybe we could see if there was a better way to accomplish your goal. You likely just want to execute as your user: « sudo chown -R $USER: ~/complete ». That will change the owner and group of all files in ~/complete to $USER (which gets changed to whatever your username is) [23:36] MashTomato: as far as I know the DVD version and the CD version not much difference, except for the DVD version having much more langauges [23:37] yeah, the more localized, the better, eh? :D [23:37] erUSUL, through /media? got usb to usb7, but every directory is empty [23:37] Hello, I've got an odd X display problem; My laptop has an nVidia graphics card, but when I installed the nvidia hardware drivers, it no longer recognised the laptop's LCD Screen. [23:37] MashTomato: and the CD version can be put on a DVD, and CD version or DVD, I don't think all the languages go on [23:37] jrib: chown: missing operand [23:37] oh wait [23:37] Anyone know what "deauthenticating from [mac address] by local choice (reason=3)" is (dmesg) and why my WUSB54G cannot connect to an access point? Drivers seem to work fine, it can detect my access point. Connecting though just doesn't seem to work. I used to have Ubuntu I believe it was Karmic. I did a fresh install of Lubuntu Lucid. Could it be some problem with Lubuntu specifically? linux-firmware-nonfree is installed, and I have a kn [23:38] do i understand correctly that if I am on winblows, I can download an ubuntu installer that will install ubuntu for me while I am on winblows? [23:38] noone: first ehat device it got assingned? « dmesg | tail -n20 » just after plugin it should tell you [23:38] I discovered that it started outputting on the external connector [23:38] <_Techie_> is it possible to decrease boot time by disabling processes in /etc/rcX.d/ ? [23:38] brophat: you can, its called wubi [23:38] does the laptop manufacturer have display drivers spicificly for that laptop? [23:38] sebsebseb: yes :P [23:38] yeah wubi that is it. does wubi work if i am on winblows 7? [23:38] anyone can help in cracking wpa2-psk? [23:38] jrib: ok i did it, now i can't do anything in that folder [23:38] _Techie_: yes but onlt up to a few seconds, plus iwouldn't mess around unless you knew what you're doing [23:38] Brutus: what are you trying to do exactly (and how)? [23:39] jrib: i was able to access the foler i just chowned, no i can't do anything with that folder. n [23:39] brophat: yes, probably [23:39] Angel2600: It's a Sony Vaio, and does not appear to have any specific releases. I'll check again to be sure [23:39] john20: so root_ your back? [23:39] thats the problem. working on vios is always a bitch [23:39] jrib: again: access the folders underneath it. belongs to root, just needs a chmod 777 to access it [23:39] aeon-ltd: :D [23:39] sunshard:you're right, give me a second, I'll look my lappy [23:39] <_Techie_> aeon-ltd, thanks, i know what im doing and its a completely minimal system, i only need X GDM and networking [23:39] aeon-ltd you think the ubuntu team has allready thought of that? and made wubi work on winblows 7? [23:39] Brutus: that's not an answer to my question. Anyway, what does « ls -ld ~/complete » return at the moment? [23:40] brophat: yes, but wubi still has bugs and is not as "refined" as the livecd [23:40] aeon-ltd: yeah, i made a new account, didn't know anything bad about beying _root [23:40] huh - alt install of ubuntu desktop takes a while :) [23:40] ok [23:40] john20: why do you need to know how to break wpa-psk? [23:40] jrib: d-wx--x--x 4 xbmc xbmc 4096 2010-09-05 17:21 /home/xbmc/downloads/complete/ [23:40] so he can get free inet [23:40] aeon-ltd like what are the major shortcomings of wubi ? [23:41] hello again I want to delete XP partition and then resize Ubuntu partition using the unallocated space http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/8103/selection001.png [23:41] Brutus: sudo chmod -R +r ~/complete [23:41] Anyone know what "deauthenticating from [mac address] by local choice (reason=3)" is (dmesg) and why my WUSB54G cannot connect to an access point? Drivers seem to work fine, it can detect my access point. Connecting though just doesn't seem to work. I used to have Ubuntu I believe it was Karmic, worked fine then. I did a fresh install of Lubuntu Lucid. Could it be some problem with Lubuntu specifically? linux-firmware-nonfree is installe [23:41] help me out [23:41] fdisk [23:41] brophat: it installs inside windows, so you still get the windows boot loader, also speed restraints due to it being in windows [23:41] Brutus: that gives read access to owner, group, and others (as long as umask doesn't restrict any of those) [23:41] erUSUL, cant see any difference wether plugged in or not [23:42] jrib: still not able to access folders below. [23:42] aeon-ltd i thought it installed ubuntu [23:42] so its a problem with the HDD? [23:42] no need to run window to run it [23:42] Brutus: paste ls -ld ~/complete/the/folder/you/can't/access [23:42] jrib: able to get in the main folder again [23:42] brophat: it does, in a file inside windows [23:42] Brutus: why are these permissions all messed up? [23:42] drwxr--r-- 3 root root 4096 2010-09-05 19:27 crank [23:42] noone: if nothing new is printed to dmesg when the disk is plugged it looks like a hardware problem [23:43] jrib: because i moved them as root [23:43] after it installsaeon-ltd so you mean i gotta run windows in order to run ubuntu [23:43] Brutus: that means you didn't run the first command I gave you [23:43] t-mobile broadband sucks.. [23:43] :S [23:43] erUSUL, alright :( thanks [23:43] brophat: my advice, if you want the full ubuntu experience, burn the iso to a disk and do it the traditional way [23:43] hello again I want to delete XP partition and then resize Ubuntu partition using the unallocated space http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/8103/selection001.png should I delete ntfs partition and the 2mb unallocated space? [23:43] yeah sounds it on aeon [23:43] Brutus: moving things as root doesn't change permissions :/ [23:43] meheheh, g'night [23:44] uLinux: ok your in luck [23:44] @ulinux use hirens boot disk [23:44] hey um, is there a 10.10beta alternate torrent?

[23:46] hello? Someone answer my question. is there a 10.10 alternate installer as opoed to the live cd?

The only thing I'll miss from Windows is the Itunes and Ipod stuff :) [23:47] the_bot_died_las: there is an alternate CD for 10.10, but 10.10 isn't out yet [23:47] !10.10 | the_bot_died_las [23:47] the_bot_died_las: 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 [23:47] sunshard:no, but I got the same problem recently on a p4 lappy, is your xorg filled (nvidia-xconfig)?

[23:50] !10.10 | the_bot_died_las [23:50] the_bot_died_las: 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 [23:50] uLinux: oh by the looks of it you already have Ubuntu installed, well what you could do is, delete the WIndows partition, and re size your Ubuntu partition on the Live CD [23:50] yes sebsebseb but I dont want to create a partition for /home like you said it's complicated [23:50] yes sebsebseb [23:50] the_bot_died_las: - so join mentioned channel and ask them [23:50] im dual booting [23:51] sunshard: Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP" [23:51] :( [23:51] uLinux: making a /home is easy to set up before installing, after woulds can be done, but never done it myself, but not that hard. Also you don't really need a sepearte one, but can be useful. [23:51] How can I stop a serial console on a device with a read only filesystem? [23:51] uLinux: you could also remove Windows, and make a data partition there, just a data, not a /home [23:51] sunshard: save xorg.conf [23:51] sebsebseb: now if I wanted to change to another distro or reinstall ubuntu what would I do [23:52] without losing files [23:52] Odemia: stop a serial console ? [23:52] whats the room for ubuntu 10.10 support? [23:52] Kendalja: #ubuntu+1 [23:52] uLinux: i have already explained you - it is pretty simple - you have to run live cd, to prevent mounting of HDD, after that run gparted, and delete windows partition, so you will get extra 30 Gb unallocated space ... after that you can resize partition of ubuntu at your own risk to get extra 30 Gb [23:52] Kendalja: #ubuntu+1 [23:52] Kendalja: #ubuntu+1 [23:53] sunshard: oh wait, you're using vesa right now ?? [23:53] wieshka: yes but theres is a 2mb of unallocated space [23:53] How do I auto connect to channels? [23:53] i think it belongs to NTFS partition [23:53] DasEi: No worries [23:53] w1ld0ne: depends on your client [23:53] DasEi: I'll autogenerate it again [23:53] uLinux: after deleting 30 Gb partition you will have 30.002 Gb unallocated space :) [23:53] erUSUL: getty is running on ttyS0 but I wan't to use it as a serial port. But I can't write to /etc/inittab [23:53] gnome xchat - don't see any option in preference [23:53] DasEi: I'll make the changes and if I can actually read anything I'll see. [23:54] uLinux: yeah deleting Windows and resizing your Ubuntu partition, is probably the best thing for you to do at the moment, but there are other things that could be done instead as well. [23:54] sunshard: you will have to log out, run sudo nvidia-xconfig, then insert that line, then restart gdm [23:54] w1ld0ne: sry, irssi here [23:54] yep [23:54] Odemia: i see; kill getty before using the port ? [23:54] sunshard: also a modification to grub might be necessary, too tired for today [23:54] erUSUL: init respawns it [23:55] uLinux: only thing with data, and no seperate /home is that, if you do the wrong thing when re installing, you would lose it. [23:55] when the new Ubuntu version comes out how could I make a clean install without needing to make backup of everything [23:55] heys need help i just update my ubtuntu and reboot!! now i can't log to graphic and in the logs when i type sudo get this: -bash: /usr/bin/sudo: cannot execute binary file [23:55] sunshard: that mod in xorg basically switches to the internal LCD [23:55] does anyone have a recommendation for an alternative gnome toolbar? [23:55] erUSUL: "ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100" from inittab [23:55] How do I add multiple IP addresses to my network port without interrupting connections on the already configured IP? I have 5 IP that I can use but only 1 is assigned and I would like to get the other 4 operational without any interruption to the already active IP connections [23:55] uLinux: a clean install implies that all the old stuff is removed [23:55] frank__: you could well just use wmaker instead of gnome :) [23:55] tarzeau: yeah, or kde ;P [23:55] DasEi: Right, here's to hoping that it will be able to force correctly. It couldn't even find the LCD the last time :S [23:56] tensorpudding: not if I had a /home in another partition like sebsebseb said? [23:56] uLinux: Have you used gparted before or the manual install for Ubuntu? partition stuff makes more sense, when actsauly doing it, or trying to [23:56] DasEi: See you in a bit, and thanks for the advice. Hope it works for this odd bit of hardware I'm running [23:56] sunshard: I had that fun recently, too [23:56] uLinux: that would allow you to save your personal files, yeah [23:56] <3 pithos [23:56] Odemia: maybe you can use something like what livecd's use --> aufs ? [23:56] well the easiest way would be be to use 2 hdd [23:56] :P [23:57] I need some help with my HP Tx2z touch smart laptop and 10.04 broadcom drivers. [23:57] uLinux: you'd reinstall normally, except being sure to tell it to mount your home partition, and telling it to not format said partition [23:57] Anyone think they can help out? [23:57] I'm on day 3 of trying to fix it.. haha [23:57] uLinux: I think a Ubuntu / with /home as part of it, could have Ubuntu re installed, with /home staying how it is, as long as the partition isn't ticked for formatting [23:57] btw, where's aptitude gone in 10.10? [23:57] frank__: its been removed from the default install [23:57] hmm never tried that sebsebseb [23:57] frank__, I think you could sudo apt-get install aptitude, though [23:57] maybe when new Ubuntu version comes out I will try [23:58] uLinux: putting /home onto it's own partition you can do a clean OS install and tell it not to format that partition and set it to mount to /home, which saves all the files in /home while giving you a clean install, it's how I upgrade my machines [23:58] frank__: sudo apt-get install aptitude ; from maverick go to #ubuntu+1 [23:58] uLinux: most expereinced Desktop Linux users, will do a seperate /home partition, since makes things easier in the long run :) [23:58] sebsebseb: is there any reason why I shouldn't use it? I've been using aptitude for years now, I'm not even familiar with the apt-syntax (blame me, yeah ;) [23:58] Anyone else having Broadcom STA driver issues with 10.04? [23:58] DasEi: [23:58] sebsebseb: huh, glad i am running all on my workstations on LVM :) [23:58] frank__: you can use aptitude still if you install it yourself. not meant to mix apt-get and apttiude apparenatly by hte wya [23:58] DasEi: Oh dear, no luck [23:58] Galeo, it allows me to offer services such as websites on their own dedicated IP address. I can also have each IP listening on port 80 or any other port for that matter, this way I can run multiple of one thing and continue to use the default port by using a different IP for each instance of the program [23:59] frank__: and yeah aptitude is probably really the better out of the two [23:59] Nate____: relax for a few minutes, then ask again if no one's answering [23:59] DasEi: It now happily outputs 640 x 480 [23:59] frank__: aptitude and apt share commands for the most part. [23:59] <3 aptitude [23:59] DasEi: It hurts the eyes, D:
