[00:00] I think I might switch my thumbdrive over to Ubuntu instead of Xubuntu once Maverick comes out :) [00:00] aptitude offers a more robust removal functionality, other than that I don't htink it matters [00:00] !PM | Galeo [00:00] Galeo: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [00:00] aptitude is much better at resolving dependencies in my experience [00:00] haha, I'm not trying to spam. From what I read, it's a real problem and there are like 10 different ways to fix it. I'm on day three, and if I don't fix this, it's back to Windows 7. =/ [00:00] Nate____: posible that ndiswrapper is that what you are looking for [00:00] lol sebsebseb this just feels wrong frank@frank-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install aptitude [00:01] Hokay stupid question: how long a usb cable can I safely use to connect a printer? [00:01] !broadcom | Nate____ [00:01] Nate____: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [00:01] frank__: yeah I know what you mean [00:01] 2-3 m ok? [00:01] frank__: by the way #ubuntu+1 is 10.10 channel at the moment, since final isn't out yet, but yeah [00:01] test [00:01] wieshka: Yea, I have tried that before, but I guess there are linux dirvers now? Isn't that for using windows drivers and the ndiswrapper emulates it? [00:01] I'm not sure [00:01] sorry Demon [00:01] I had issues with the fwcutter one, had to use the proprietary one or whatever [00:01] sebsebseb: thx [00:02] I need help with grub; i downloaded ubuntu 3 times last week and there is a grub terminal screen at the boot; grub only did it when i updated 10.10 [00:02] hey guys got a odd question if you have a few [00:02] Nate____: ubottu already gave you a correct link to manual :) [00:02] !PM | Galeo [00:02] Galeo, please see my private message [00:02] !ask | Oni [00:02] Oni: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:02] lol, does anyone have experience with cairo dock? seems like none of the developers tried multi monitor mode ;) [00:02] wieshka: Thanks, yea I have tried this before. I will give it a shot agian. [00:03] I have a cytech cyborg keyboard and it has prograbamable keys what program would I use to assign them to specific programs [00:03] boy, does this looks fscked up *G* [00:03] programable even sheesh [00:03] BAN HIM [00:03] who? [00:04] Oni: you'll have to fsck with the HAL, been there, done that. No pleasure at all, believe me [00:04] I use a separate partition for /home and recently upgraded (by way of fresh install) to 10.04 from Kubuntu 8.04, w/o altering /home. is there any chance that having parts of old programs in /home could make the new OS misbehave? [00:05] I thought there was a few programs avalable to do it easier from what others have told me [00:05] Verminator - programs are normally installed to /etc so you should be safe [00:05] is there a program like manycam for ubuntu? [00:06] Verminator: shouldnt to my knowledge I did the same didnt have any issues [00:06] Verminator: there are a lot of hidden configuration files in your home dir... it's possible [00:06] Oni: lol *G* thought that, too! [00:06] Oni: usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop and usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty and usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor are your "friends" [00:06] divadgnol67: , Verminator but there still are .programname folders, what can contain config data [00:06] most of the hidden files are .files and should not impact the rest of the system [00:07] Oni: and if you ever get to something useful, PLEASE let me know, hell I even will create an email alias for you to paste in a public logged channel [00:07] divadgnol67: they should not impact, but no for 100% sure :) [00:07] lol will do frank [00:07] i downloaded ubuntu 3 times, and everytime there is a grub terminal screen when my pc boots, is there a way that i can fix the problem or should install another boot loader. [00:07] true, not 100% but unlikely [00:07] I ask b/c ubuntun 10.04 is giving me a lot of non critical, but annoying issues [00:08] I'm having an odd issue. I'm able to connect to IRC via irssi, but I cannot load any web pages. When I gun 'ping google.com' I get 'unknown host'. Any ideas? [00:08] wieshka: I'm getting Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.35-020635-generic. I'm having troubles installing drivers, ever since I updated the kernel. I can't install the ATI driver either. When I use the package manager or hardware drivers, I now get fglrx: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10. and fglrx-amdcccle: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured. [00:08] Verminator: what issues are you having? I'm having some myself... [00:08] SaintSapphire: dns problem ? [00:08] Verminator - what kind of issues [00:08] Oni: dont expect too much, either it works, or it doesnt, just accept it and spare yourself hours of hate, anger and agony [00:08] Do you think I boned it by upgrading the kernel? [00:08] guestcable: Do you have more than one hard drive? Are there any error messages? [00:08] erUSUL: How would I check that? [00:08] Oni: btw this is the very reason I use dell keyboards. They work. [00:08] I need help. What's the easiest way to get printing going in an Ubuntu 10.04 VM on a MacBook Pro host with Snow Leopard? [00:08] SaintSapphire: can you ping a num ip ? « ping 66.249.92.104 » [00:09] SaintSapphire: is a gogle server [00:09] I also get fglrx(0): Hasn't established DRM connection failed to map FB memory, when I reboot now. [00:09] no i just say GNU GRUB version 1.98....grub> [00:09] erUSUL: Huh, yes, I can. [00:09] SaintSapphire: no dns configured .... [00:09] What's the path to change DNS servers in ubuntu, then? [00:09] SaintSapphire: how do you set up the connecton? Network Manager ? [00:09] i type reboot and the pc reboots, but if i type exit the pc restarts [00:10] Oni: and if there's a mapping of a special key you don't like, don't press it, just ignore it. Continue enjoying your life, but if you temper to fsck with the above mentioned files be awared to have a spare keyboard ready [00:10] SaintSapphire: by default you get your DNS servers from your DHCP [00:10] can you do a memory test in a VPS? [00:10] !parallels [00:10] guestcable: What happens if you run "cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg" from that grub shell? [00:10] Oni: you WILL crash it at least one time [00:10] hi, i need to get a video card, (onboard right now) what is ideal for ubuntu ? i know i want a nvidia chipset, but from there i am lost, too many choices, can anyone help? may be used for htpc, no games [00:10] divadgnol67, haywardgb, monitor not detected and stuck at a lower rez, OO slow, locks up, and is jittery, empathy locks up and take 60-100 CPU use, full screen games take 100% cpu and lock up the USB ports, caps lock sometimes get inverted on KB, [00:11] i will act as if it would run, but go back to grub> [00:11] i am sort of scared to restart my pc [00:11] FredFlinstone: The nvidia driver works for all nvidia chipsets, so it's simply a matter of price vs. performance [00:11] SaintSapphire: right click on the network manager icon. choose edit connections. go to the connection you use. choose edit and in there go to ipv4 settings [00:11] ok [00:11] for some reason, when I load up iptraf, it does not pull up my interfaces, however I can do ; iptraf -d eth1 and it will .. the only interface it sees is 'lo' for some reason [00:11] Verminator > it is unlikely caused by any files in your home directory. [00:11] grrrr - looks like i have serios boot problem for my freshly installed ubuntu desktop - alternative [00:11] I am having issues with audio. When I log in, I hear the login sounds, but once logged in sound doesn't seem to work (Amarok or web videos...) [00:12] FredFlinstone: Well, it also has to work with your hardware. [00:12] it is RAID 1 + LVM installation [00:12] verminator > what video card do you have? [00:12] is there any way to use cairo dock with a dual-screen setup? Cairo-dock centers at the combined resolution of the 2 monitors which is crap [00:12] and fsck returns error [00:13] divadgnol67, nvidia 6600LE, 256MB, I am using the proprietray driver, current and recommended from ubuntu repos, just reinstalled this evening to test [00:13] fsck /boot [415] terminated with status 8 [00:13] loving ubuntu 10.04 apart from the minor headaches... not going back to Win7 is like trying to quit an addiction ! [00:13] wondering now how to recover ir [00:13] ir [00:13] it [00:13] haywardgb: was getting your wireless installed and stable easy? [00:14] sure was nate.. [00:14] divadgnol67, driver according to nvidia control panel is 195.36.24 [00:14] i do get weird loss of internet using wireless though.... [00:14] I'm having tons of trouble. [00:14] Like it randomly disconnects? [00:14] Verminator > back up your home directory to a flash drive and do a fresh install to rule out that it in fact something in home directory causing the problem [00:14] Anyone good with audio issues willing to assist me? [00:14] Mine did that, so I'm trying some different fixes. All that got me was a ton of errors and no working diver anymore.. haha [00:14] sometimes it just stops working, but then starts again.. not sure if that's the place im getting access from, or just a fluke.. i've noticed it in a few places... [00:15] Nate____: same issue as me then... [00:15] Idk, mine would take forever to connect and just drop randomly. [00:15] verminator > re-install without using your backed up home directory [00:15] can anyone shed light on this? [00:15] haywardgb: it was on a network running WPA-personal with a passphrase [00:15] divadgnol67, an inconvenient step, but probably worth a try, ty [00:16] haywardgb: I dont' want to go back to windows 7, but if i can't figure this out.. idk. haha [00:16] not really that difficult, but you are correct an extra step [00:16] i downloaded ubuntu 3 times, and everytime there is a grub terminal screen when my pc boots, is there a way that i can fix the problem or should install another boot loader. [00:16] Verminator > good luck [00:16] 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 [00:17] Nate____: Lol, I feel that way too.. Ubuntu always seems like it's about to make the mark, then something really important messes it up for me.... [00:17] divadgnol67, not difficult, but time consumming, although, any good idea for syncing this new back w/ an old backup? [00:17] guestcable: Please try what I requested. [00:17] Can anyone explain why wireless would take ages to connect, then suddenly keep dropping ...? [00:17] haywardgb: Yea, this is my third attempt with this laptop. It's awesome, except for my wireless.. that's a big problem. It sucks that is probably the game breaker. lol [00:18] hmmm - Ubuntu says: Serious errors were found while checking the disk drive for /boot [00:18] Nate____: for me first it was itunes .. then i came back at 10.04 and must say, it's pretty awesome, apart from the wireless issue (a biggy for me) and a few minor ones... [00:18] Nate____, it is better to check for compatibility before you buy [00:18] is there an irc chat room through windows , just i case if it happens again @ jordan_u [00:18] Nate____: what wireless card you using? [00:19] guestcable, do you mean a chat client? [00:19] haywardgb: it could be trouble with your wifi nic, or it could be trouble with the router/ap, or it could be poor signal strength, or it could be trouble with the upstream connection [00:19] that too [00:19] test34: I didn't purchase for linux. It was more a hey, lets give this a shot type thing. [00:19] it's no different than any other OS, problems happen, things don't work, you have to massage stuff to get it all working. With thousands and thousands of hardware combinations there is bound to be some issues no matter what OS you run. [00:19] why is it that when i email HTML code with mutt it appears as HTML code and not an HTML page??? [00:19] guestcable: Yes, there are IRC clients for windows. [00:19] guestcable, I believe pidgin runs on windows [00:19] tensorpudding: you forgot to add flux-capacitor ;) [00:19] haywardgb: It's the BCM4322 broadcom, a/b/g/n [00:20] it is just cable the room will not let me change nick [00:20] ok by ignoring [00:20] if i install ubuntu from a minimal install and install the package ubuntu-desktop and add the without-recommends flag to apt, will that cause me trouble in the future? [00:20] The part that makes linux stand out is that once you get things working, they tend to work for a very long time [00:20] i got now logged in [00:20] Verminator > here is a link as it easier this way http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [00:20] Hi everyone, I just moved from Arch linux to ubuntu [00:20] ninjai: Because the mime type is wrong most likely. Why are you sending html email? [00:20] will i be able to come back here? [00:20] divadgnol67, tyvm [00:20] Nate____: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=896713 [00:20] Maybe that will help === gstarx90 is now known as ridin [00:20] I was developing a .NET client for evernote in monodevelop an it works great on Arch but in ubuntu, mono develop is complaining about not finding Gecko namespace === ridin is now known as gstarx90 [00:21] guestcable: Yes, this is the channel #ubuntu on the server irc.freenode.net [00:21] I've been researching on the internet and haven't been able to install Gecko-sharp on ubuntu, what can I do? any advise? [00:21] Nate____: I hope you get it sorted, one of us has to survive and make it through.. I'm thinking of buying a USB wireless stick that is listed on the compatability list... Just to make sure.. [00:21] Jordan_U: It's some in house stuff I'm working on that needs to be HTML formatted. I receive HTML emails from other people and they display fine, but not when my web server emails it. is the mime type wrong on my web server? [00:22] JuJuBee: Thanks I will give it a shot. I upgraded my kernel though and I'm having problems installing my ATI driver and broadcom drivers. It errors out. [00:22] haywardgb: Yea, it's worth it. Maybe I will get another one that I can slide in the laptop. [00:22] here goes nothing!!!!! [00:22] im trying to find a way of installing the ubuntu desktop but in a more minimal way then default [00:23] haywardgb: It just sucks I can't get it working. Others are doing it. I may need to rebuild 10.04 for a 3rd time.. haha [00:23] Nate____: ATI is evil... nVidia all the way [00:23] zero-1: you checked packages.ubuntu.com to make sure that this software was not available on ubuntu? [00:23] Great on windoze not linux [00:23] Nate____: you could try that link that was just posted.. [00:23] hmmmm so i have succesfully loged in - but io have to prevent problems while bootup - so neither /boot partition found during bootup, neither manually mountpointed LVM partition [00:23] JuJuBee: I agree, haha. I wish I had nvidia in this. It's one of those multi-touch HP laptops. [00:23] ninjai: Do you mean that you have an SMTP server? A "web server" doesn't send email. [00:23] and by ignoring and skipping i can succesfully boot [00:23] guestcable, check these out, I think this is what you are looking for [00:23] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients [00:23] I did but Im not sure what is the package's name [00:23] http://www.ircreviews.org/clients/platforms-windows.html [00:23] Nate____, you built ubuntu? I dont think so.. maybe you mean the kernel? [00:23] Verminator: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:23] FloodBot4: that url has been posted 4 times in the past 4 hours by FloodBot3, Katsumi32, and ubottu (last linked by FloodBot3 2 hours, 4 minutes ago). [00:24] test34: By rebuild, I meant re-install. lol.. [00:24] zero-1: It doesn't appear to be in the repos, so you'll probably have to install it by hand [00:25] haywardgb: I didn't see the link? I have tried about 5 different ones now. I think I boned it by updating the kernel. [00:25] can Memtest or Memtest86 be ran in vm or has to be root of the xen server? [00:25] can lubuntu use ubuntu one to sync files as ubuntu can? [00:25] not that installing it by hand is a problem to me, but if I wish to distribute it it will be a problem for whomever I give it to, do I have another option? [00:25] Kane_hart: I would run it on the actual hardware. [00:25] Nate____, you dont need to reinstall.. maybe you need to build a kernel module or rebuild the kernel itself [00:25] Nate____: oh heck, a re-install then ;) [00:26] Jordan_U thanks >.< gotta find out how lol [00:26] Nate____: Are you in London? [00:26] Kane_hart: it has to be the only thing running on the machine.... it is a "kernel" [00:26] Nate____, or reinstall the default kernel if it used to work [00:26] Kane_hart: you have to run it on the physical hardware or it is useless [00:26] Jordan_U Sorry, yes it's a web server with SMTP (sendmail with mutt) installed... [00:26] haywardgb: Nah, I'm on a web IRC client. I dont' have one installed at the moment. [00:27] Nate____, or a previous version if you are using the default (you should be able to choose a previous version at boot) [00:27] ok thanks [00:27] test34: Do you know how I can get back to the kernel that installs with 10.04? I'm still relatively new to Linux. [00:27] Nate____: If you get it working, add me as a buddy and let me know how it goes... [00:27] could someone maybe point me to some online resources or something ? [00:28] which file contains the settings for enabling/disabling log in to my server via ssh? [00:28] zero-1: you don't have to include gecko-sharp with you distributing it [00:28] test34: I ran this command to update it. I can show you. I don't have any options to choose when I startup. [00:28] with a username/pass [00:28] !guidelines > monokrome Please review this regarding bots [00:28] monokrome, please see my private message [00:28] Nate____, which command? [00:28] haywardgb: yea, if i figure it out, i will let you know. what do you want me to add you on? Can you do that on IRC? I haven't done that before on here. [00:28] drjo, resources for what? [00:28] test34: I will have to look it up in my history. [00:29] I know, but for some newcomer to linux installing it might be painful if they have to install anything by hand [00:29] and not through apt [00:29] Nate____: I've added you as a buddy on Pidgin.. I'm all Ubuntu now! [00:29] zero-1: the ideal way would be to package gecko-sharp [00:30] haywardgb: Under what service? [00:30] can you give me some pointers in how to do that? [00:30] haywardgb: Doesn't pidgen do AIM, MSN, ect. [00:30] What idiot removed grip from the Ubuntu packages? [00:30] Verminator: im basically just trying to figure out a safe way to install a minimal system, cause im rolling it out on a bunch of computers, so i found that installing the minimal cd and then ubuntu-desktop with the --without-recommends flag get me exactly what i want, but ive seen on some forums people say this is bad but not why [00:30] Nate: A chat client called Pidgin ... It's like erm... Empathy IM Client.. [00:30] how do remove a name from the boot select screen; i have too many ubuntu's [00:30] Nate: yeah, exactly what you just said. [00:30] Nate____, pidgion woprks w/ multiple servers, protocals [00:31] zero-1: According to launchpad, there used to be a gecko-sharp2 package, but it has mostly disappeared [00:31] big problems with spam? [00:31] cable_summers: Remove old kernels via apt / Ubuntu Software Center [00:31] haywardgb: Yea, I have used pidgen. How did you add me though? Nate___ isn't my username. [00:31] Verminator: so the information i seek is regarding ubuntu-desktop and future upgrades etc [00:31] ? [00:31] how ? [00:31] Nate: this Pidgin app rocks.. I just right clicked on your name here in this window and it gave me the option to add you.. I think it just adds your IRC Alias.. [00:32] guys.. [00:32] drjo, sorry, that is something i have no idea about, sorry [00:32] haywardgb: Oh, ok cool. Well I'm on a web client. This name is going to go away. [00:32] when I hit "arrow-up" it does not give me the last typed line instead it gives me wierd chars...why [00:32] zero-1: what exactly is gecko sharp used for? [00:32] peepz, try cntr+up [00:32] test34: I can't find it atm. Would it help if you know my kernel version? [00:33] test34: if i look some more, i may be able to find it. [00:33] can anyone tell me what an "=" means when using ls -F? [00:33] Nate: if you want to pm me your msn or whatever.. if you like, otherwise don't worry.. [00:33] Verminator: thanks anyways, going to install and upgrade to 10.10 and try to see if it hoses the system [00:33] haywardgb: Yea, I will do that. Idk how to pm on this web client though. Sec. [00:34] drjo, I hope it goes well for you [00:34] creating a gecko browser within a .NET mono app [00:34] Nate____: /msg name messagehere [00:34] dulak: thanks [00:34] in my /etc/ssh/ssh_config, which lines to I have to change to get l/p login working with ssh? [00:34] i uncomment and set this one, PasswordAuthentication yes [00:35] any others? [00:35] Verminator: me too :) [00:35] http://www.petitiononline.com/irctrout/petition.html [00:35] FalsAlarm: ssh_config is for outgoing ssh, sshd_config is for incoming ssh [00:35] zero-1: there seems to be a Mono.Mozilla namespace that uses gluezilla to do that [00:35] ahh, woops [00:36] zero-1: oh wait, that uses Windows Forms [00:36] Need some advanced help on this fsck error: http://wieshka.pastebin.com/bzDqWqgj [00:36] :( [00:38] any ideas ? [00:38] zero-1: maybe ask in #mono [00:38] can anyone tell me what an "=" means when using ls -F? [00:38] waaade: i believe those are sockets [00:38] wieshka: Can you just "sudo umount /dev/sda1" then "sudo fsck /dev/sda1" ? [00:38] tensorpudding, thanks! [00:39] tets [00:39] Jordan_U: /dev/sda1 : not mounted [00:39] wieshka: boot recovery mode and run 'fsck /dev/sda1' [00:39] or you mean while boot recovery ? [00:39] ok ono momento :) [00:40] I just downloaded the info file and want to install it any one know how that goes [00:40] Dulak: wieshka: There should be no need to boot into recovery mode. [00:40] it says it is unmounted in normal mode [00:40] Jordan_U: you don't fsck a read-write mounted partition, recovery mode mounts read-only [00:41] wieshka: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo fsck -n /dev/sda1"? [00:41] Dulak: Jordan_U even in recovery mode umount says it is not mounted [00:41] but fsck says resource is busy [00:41] Dulak: It's a separate /boot/partition, it can be unmounted without being in recovery mode. [00:41] booting in nromal mode for pastebin [00:41] Jordan_U: i cant even unmount it from recovery mode ? [00:42] dunno [00:42] 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 [00:42] al is being used. I also have to mirror displays to use that method. [00:42] wieshka: It may be that it is busy not because it is mounted but because fsck is being run on it in the background. [00:42] i also was able to manually disable my laptop display using the Nvidia tool but that's a pain to do manually all the time [00:43] the setup is -> seperated 512 mb /boot partition + RAID 1 + LVM (lv for /, swap and data) [00:43] wieshka: Is there any output from "sudo pgrep fsck" ? [00:43] Jordan_U: one moment - booting normal mode [00:44] Jordan_U: no output in normal mode [00:45] wieshka: Can you boot from a LiveCD? [00:45] Jordan_U: df -h returns that boot is mounted as /dev/md0p1 [00:45] what is that ? [00:46] Dulak, I made the change and now ssh asks me to login [00:46] Jordan_U: i have to rebuild flash then with unetbootin - it will take a while [00:46] but no matter what i enter for the password, it says Access denied [00:47] i am trying to grow my mdadm raid but every time i try to --add my new drive it says: mdadm: /dev/md0 does not appear to be an md device [00:47] wieshka: That means that it's the first partition of your partitioned raid volume, which is certainly an odd configuration. [00:47] what abut if i go in degraded mode [00:47] anyone have any idea? [00:47] Jordan_U: i made /boot as primary partition at begging of HDD [00:47] wieshka: Are you sure that /dev/sda1 isn't a raid member? [00:47] wieshka: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"? [00:48] sure - one moment [00:48] Jordan_U: http://wieshka.pastebin.com/1FFnri7S [00:48] Jordan_U: how can i force stop my mdadm raid? when i do --stop it says: mdadm: fail to stop array /dev/md0: Device or resource busy [00:49] Jordan_U, dunno [00:50] RAID has one partition only - and it is LVM [00:50] but blkid returns some other partition - p1 [00:50] wieshka: No, it has two partitions according to blkid. [00:50] during the setup i made only one [00:51] ok - can i just delete it ? [00:51] hello [00:51] is there a major difference between netbook install of ubuntu 10.04 and desktop? [00:51] i mean - any poibilities to recover with out reinstall ? [00:51] can I install desktop on a netbook? [00:51] Eleph: yes u can, i believe netbook version just make battery consumption less [00:51] wieshka: Can you try fsck from a liveCD? [00:52] ahh [00:52] it will take a while, becouse i have no cd-rom, and at first i have to download iso [00:52] and build flash drive [00:52] geoffmcc: Eleph: Ubuntu netbook remix has an interface more suited to a small screen, but yes Ubuntu Desktop should work fine. [00:53] cool [00:53] thanks [00:53] Jordan_U: what about just recoverying from that eror fro mrecovery mode or normal mode ? [00:53] Eleph: you'll miss some lid-close options [00:54] wieshka: I'm not sure why the device is busy in the first place unfortunately. [00:54] Jordan_U: maybe one more time alternative install will be faster then figuring out ? [00:55] wieshka: That's likely, and your setup is a bit odd right now anyway. === boboo is now known as coz_ [00:56] hello, need help with mesa [00:57] so - then i am going to make: one /boot partition of 512 mb, on each disk (only one as mountpoint), and second partition - whole disk - as RAID 1 array .... after that i set up LVM on device md0, so there i make /, /data & swap, Jordan_U this should work definetly by default, i am wrong ? [00:57] Does ubuntu not install in vmw workstation? [00:57] wieshka: Why make a /boot/ partition on both disks? [00:58] so the partitions are the same for a mirror [00:58] aha [00:58] and mirror disk can be restored as master disk [00:58] how do I make a daemon that respawns if it's killed? [00:59] hughessd: have monit check for it, and restart it on failure [00:59] monitor it whis some while script [00:59] just put the compiled file in /etc/init.d/ and update-rc.d? [00:59] wieshka: If you want /boot/ mirrored then you might as well use RAID on it. [00:59] Jordan_U: will GRUB 2 understud this partition layout ? [00:59] wieshka: Yes. [01:00] how do i deal w/ ubuntu 10.04 LTS hanging at 43% during disk scan at initial install boot in vmwks 6.5 [01:00] no you don't mirror /boot, but you do put it on both disks so if one drive fails you can boot the other drive [01:00] wieshka: Make sure you don't partition the RAID device though. [01:00] Jordan_U: - so two partitions on each disk, one small as boot one for LVM should work fine ? [01:00] sovern: is monit the ubuntu "standard" method for creating daemons? [01:01] hughessd: ...no... its a monitoring engine [01:01] hello here, i'm stuck on tty when booting my other computer (desktop) with ubuntu, how could i get graphic ? [01:01] can someone help me with xmlrpc with rtorrent? I'm trying to install wtorrent and having some trouble... [01:01] and with LVM i can make data partitions and swap as i want ? [01:01] Verminator: u mean control? i tried that...same. [01:01] Unzip the zip file into ~/.vim (Unix) [01:01] what does that mean [01:01] .vim is not a folder ! [01:01] who was it that said theyd write me a mail alias? [01:01] !clear [01:01] ok will do thanks [01:01] do programs that start at runtime (runlevel 2-5) only run once, or do they respawn when killed? [01:02] oops wrong windoqw [01:02] guys,,, what does .vim mean ?? [01:02] hughessd: nothing respawns when killed unless you are monitoring for it externally [01:02] vim is a editor [01:02] wieshka: Yes, to be more complete you probably want each disk to have two partitions which are each raid members. The first partitions of each disk would be make up /dev/md0 (*NOT* /dev/md0p1, the raid device should not be partitioned). ... [01:02] i know it is.. I use it all the time [01:02] Oni: : http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/clojure/Getting_Started_with_Vim [01:03] it says unzip the files to ~/.vim [01:03] peepz: then you should have a ~/.vim folder [01:03] what does that mean? [01:03] lol oh ok [01:03] peepz: ~ means home dir [01:03] yes.. [01:03] why would I have a folder called .vim in my home dir? [01:03] wieshka: /dev/md0 would contain an ext4 filesystem. [01:03] I still need help with my Ubuntu dual boot install. I have Win7 on a 250gb drive. I have 50gb of the drive as "unallocated space". During the ubuntu install, my Win7 is not recognized including any of the partitions [01:03] and why a dot ? [01:03] peepz: so ~/.vim means /home/user/.vim [01:03] peepz, it hides it when you do ls [01:03] Jordan_U: so i am making two partitions - one pair as md0 for boot, second pair as md1 for LVM [01:03] ohh [01:03] jakegub, just drag it [01:03] ok [01:04] peepz: thats where vim keeps configs [01:04] peepz, just makes it hidden [01:04] jakegub, actually nevermind [01:04] wieshka: Yes, and you would make volumes for your root and for swap on top of LVM. [01:04] gstarx90: yeah, normally ubuntu can read the MBR or some boot sector and recognizes that there are partitions and one of them is Windows. That doesn't happen during the install now [01:04] Jordan_U: ofcorse [01:05] has anyone ever set up wtorrent with rtorrent before? [01:05] jakegub: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"? [01:05] Dulak: not even if you use "inittab"? [01:06] Jordan_U: /dev/sda1:Windows 7 (loader):Windows:chain [01:06] hughessd: ubuntu uses upstart, which is a form of external monitoring [01:06] ah ok, well, i think you've answered my questions anyway. thanks for your time. [01:07] jakegub: Could you go into the manual partitioning option of the installer and post a screenshot? [01:07] hey, how can I diagnose? computer just freezes.. and i have to unplug the power. [01:07] !screenshot | jakegub [01:07] jakegub: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [01:07] what log files should i look at? [01:07] Jordan_U: md1 (for data) partitions should me logical or primary ? [01:07] saml: /var/log/messages [01:08] so both partitions for /boot RAID {md0} i made as primary at begining [01:08] is there any channel about backtrack 4? [01:08] wieshka: Doesn't matter much, but I'd make them primary. [01:08] should I grep for something? [01:08] saml: look at the last line [01:08] :) [01:08] or is there a way to slow down harddisk io? [01:08] hi all - im having an issue with ssh - everytime i put in a wrong password the time it takes to authenticate gets longer and longer and longer (even over multiple sessions) where do i reset the count? [01:08] Don't mirror /boot, it's retarded, and you will regret it later [01:09] Jordan_U: you know - when you are resintalling - you are starting to ask about everything :) [01:09] Dulak: Why do you say that? [01:09] thanks! [01:09] how do I use locate to find hidden files? [01:09] i think my h ardware dies.. even when i boot on windows xp, same thing happens.. it freezes [01:10] Because if /boot gets hosed, you won't be able to boot either disk, had it happen to many clients, it's not a good practice [01:10] Check memory test, may be your RAM has some errors [01:10] Manually copy /boot, do not mirror it === bastidra1or is now known as bastid_raZor [01:10] can i limit bus bandwidth? [01:10] Jordan_U: http://imagebin.org/114440 [01:10] how do I use cp and also cp hidden files? [01:11] Dulak: How does mirroring it increase the chance of it being "hosed"? [01:11] cp -r hiddenfile newfile [01:11] i thought r was for recursive [01:11] its it capital R? [01:12] jakegub: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"? [01:12] peepz, cp oldfile newfile [01:12] Jordan_U: just keep giving bad advice, yer doing great [01:12] its not a file [01:12] its the content of the while directory including hidden files. [01:12] how do I copy the entire content of the current directory I am in to another folder including HIDDEN files. [01:12] Dulak: wow, you REALLY don't know how much Jordan_U knows.. do you? [01:12] hi [01:13] Dulak: also, 'yer' is not a word. please attempt to use actual english. [01:13] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [AIGP] enabled at IRQ 21 [01:13] I am havin problem installin ubuntu from live as well as normal installaton. I get error cannot open /dev/sda [01:13] Dulak: i had also problems with mirrored boot [01:13] so thats why i asked about GRUB 2 [01:14] wasnik, so you are using both live cd and alternate cd? [01:14] what is best partition type for boot - isnt ext2 ? [01:14] wasnik, did you check the cd for erriors [01:14] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/rXS7MSMV [01:14] coz_: yes [01:14] guys please [01:14] bastid_raZor: I know that having run linux since 1993, I have seen mirrored /boot situations result in unbootable disks more times than I can count, it's a bad practice, and if he knew as much as you think he wouldn't be recommending it [01:14] coz_: the reason i am reinstallin is my previous installation is not booting now [01:14] wasnik, understood [01:14] where do I find the vimconfig file? [01:15] wasnik, so you check the cd for errors on both live and alternate cd... and they are error free ...yes? [01:15] peepz: in etc [01:15] peepz: ~/.vim/.vimrc [01:15] peepz: nvm yeah in home [01:15] I think,you can use some command like a sudofind [01:15] coz_: yes I did that, also checked the memory and it is also fine [01:15] Dulak: , bastid_raZor Jordan_U then what to do with /boot ? :D [01:15] mirror it or just copy ? :D [01:15] where??? [01:16] Dulak: In that case offer a better solution and drop the attitude. [01:16] Don't mirror it, copy it manually [01:16] wasnik, and you say current install is not booting... did you check if the hard drive is actually working ? [01:16] peepz: there is /etc/vim/vimrc for system wide or you need to put it in your home and customize. [01:16] IdleOne: I did, multiple times [01:16] in terminal [01:16] peepz: ~/ is a shortcut for /home/yourusername/ [01:16] ilovefairuz so, thanks, but it seems it's just my usb which has a problem. I did the process quite often on many computers, but never on IBM thinkcentre nor with that USB stick. So, I'll try to fix that later. Thx for all. [01:16] coz_: did a test of it on my bios and it passed the test [01:16] Dulak: ok, thank you. now drop the attitude please. [01:16] IdleOne: hah! [01:16] k thanks [01:17] wasnik, what concerns me is that your current install is not booting and the live and alternate cd's are not seeing the hard drive [01:17] wasnik, this is suspicious and i would be concerned about the hard drive integrity at this point [01:18] coz_: so what do u suggest should be done, and how did my bios detect and pass the hard disc as functionin propely [01:18] wasnik, do you have an unused or extra drive to test this [01:18] Hi, I can't get my hdtv to work hooked up to ubuntu. It is hooked up via DVI->HDMI cable. The ubuntu splash screen came up but that was it [01:18] coz_: no [01:18] Is there a fix for the new 0day exploit out yet? [01:18] wasnik, mm and ubuntu is the only operating system on the drive? [01:18] how would one ping multiple computers behind a nat [01:18] anyone in here have any experience with keytouch? [01:18] coz_: yes ubuntu is the only one. also why should live cd installation have anything to do with my hard disc [01:19] wasnik, when you boot into the live cd... did you hit enter when the small keyboard image at the bottom of the screen comes on... which I guess you did since you tested cd... and it still wont boot onto the live cd?/ [01:20] coz_: yes i did that and it still didnt boot [01:20] wasnik, out of curiosity...have you been "inside" the case recently? [01:22] wasnik, I would open the case..make sure all cables are securely attached... including hard drive and cdrom... then reboot the system with live cd... while in there check to see if any of the capacitors have blown... because at this point ,,,, I personally would be checking hardware components to be sure they are attached and workding [01:22] I need help. What's the easiest way to get printing going in an Ubuntu 10.04 VM on a MacBook Pro host with Snow Leopard? [01:22] hello [01:22] Anyone here plays LOTRO with Ubuntu ? [01:22] Let me know if this is offtopic or not... Anyone familiar with maatkit? I can't for the life of me get dry run to work. mysql tables sync fine, but I'd like to see what happened as it happens [01:23] I'm using PyLOTRO but it gets stuck in "Checking Account Details..." anyone knows the problem ? [01:23] wasnik, unless this is a lapttop that is [01:23] mikeg3: that's probably highly dependent on what virtualization software you use [01:23] coz_: I havent been inside the case, but what i am curious about is how come the bios is detecin the hardisk also why should hard disk erro come up on live boot. yes its a laptop [01:23] i am using the new parallels 6 for mac [01:24] MrUnagi: In most cases initiating a ping from the "outside" to a host with NAT is impossible, let alone broadcasting it to all hosts. [01:24] wasnik, i agree about the bios ... however.. it is clear that not only is the current install not booting but neither will live cd which is not dependent on hard drive... so something is off kilter here [01:24] ill just telnet [01:24] ty tho [01:24] anyone here plays LOTRO ? [01:24] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/rXS7MSMV [01:24] dadush777, wine is that way -----------------> [01:25] so why is the live cd givin an error cannot oopen /dec/sda it meanlive cd is workin with the harddrive and is dependin on hard drive [01:25] how do i browse network shares using vifm? [01:25] what is the channel of Wine ? [01:25] it keeps wanting to authenticate my Photosmart printer using hp jetdirect, but I can't get past authentication. [01:25] mikeg3: I don't know OSX's printer handling, but you can probably share it over the LAN, which would be the easiest way [01:25] Maybe using Bonjour? [01:25] dadush777, there is forum of wine and appdb comments too [01:26] Please, someone get me a massrename bash script [01:26] which Ubuntu file manager understands gvfs? [01:26] to lowercase all .hqr files [01:26] does ubuntu support any type of bonjour printing? [01:26] Flamesman: The "rename" command will allow you to do that. [01:26] dadush777: #winehq [01:26] mikeg3: I don't think so, but it's possible [01:27] I need to massrename [01:27] they are like 20 ~ 50 files [01:27] mikeg3, check here or google ubuntu bonjour printing http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=156675 [01:27] Flamesman: massrename can be easily done with simple bash scripts [01:28] I dunno bash scripts yet [01:28] :/ [01:28] will the 10.10 have better wireless on it 10.04.1 sure don't work for wireless on my setup [01:28] Flamesman: also linux has tool mmv :) [01:28] k [01:29] nvrmd [01:29] got it [01:29] thx [01:31] Jordan_U: did my pastebin answer any questions for you? http://pastebin.com/rXS7MSMV [01:32] which Ubuntu file manager understands gvfs? [01:32] Dulak: .... after install i need to dd /boot to empty boot partition and that all ? [01:32] linux is soo annoying.. [01:32] everything is a mission [01:33] wieshka: As far as I can see mirroring /boot/ will mean that it's more likely that you will be able to boot without any manual intervention in the case that one of the drives fails. Since it's making /boot/ more "complex" with an additional layer that must be dealt with recovering manually if things do fail in a way that prevents boot entirely may be more difficult, but in that case I would think you would be looking at restoring from backup anyway. I won't [01:33] wieshka: install grub to the mbr as well if that's how you have it set on the master drive as well [01:33] hello coz_ [01:33] hiexpo, hey hello [01:33] peepz, everything is in your control [01:34] stupid question, are there any emulators for ubuntu? [01:34] st those are generally handled by FUSE [01:34] emulators of what? [01:34] what kind of emulator? [01:34] game boy advanced and DS [01:34] at05gt, wine? [01:34] getting this when I run ant: com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath. [01:34] st http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVFS [01:35] Jordan_U: anyway - if one of my disks fails - it drops me in degraded mode, where can i restore [01:35] Could someone give me the default password for Ubuntu Maverick Alpha 1? Or do I have to replace /etc/shadow [01:35] ? [01:35] would wine allow me to run the emus i have for windows? [01:35] at05gt, don't know you might ask in #wine [01:35] theres both in repos i think [01:36] if i have after install prepared second disk for that [01:36] tommd: there's no default password on any ubuntu version. The password for your user is the password you set during install [01:36] does flash suck on ubuntu [01:37] or is it just my hardware? [01:37] !10.10 | tommd [01:37] tommd: 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 [01:37] or settings [01:37] jrib: well 10.10 Alpha UNR for ARM doesn't have an "install" procedure beyond copying to the SD [01:37] ubottu: Thanks [01:37] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [01:37] and wieshka, thanks [01:37] hmmm appears the emu i have runs on linux natively [01:37] WXZ: did you install the official adobe flash runtime? [01:37] hello, iam having problems to uninstall a wrong source "Mesa Stand/alone" [01:37] yes [01:38] http://pastebin.com/PPgaNaDv [01:38] my cpu usage jumps from about 15% to 80% when I open a youtube video [01:38] WXZ: and what seems to be the problem, slow play back on videos etc? [01:38] i can compile Mesa DRI :( [01:38] freezing actually rewire [01:38] I spent 4 days :( [01:38] poor/no rendering at all [01:38] wieshka: Either way you should be sure that grub is installed to the mbr of both drives, and if you don't go with mirroring you should be sure that when installing grub to the drive that will have a /boot that won't be mounted as /boot to use the --root-directory option of grub-install to be sure that grub doesn't look for its modules on the other drive (it's possible to have the mbr + embedded area portion of grub on a different disk than the /boot/ partit [01:38] WXZ: what version of Ubuntu are you running? [01:38] poor rendering [01:39] meerkat [01:39] 10 04 [01:39] more info http://pastebin.com/PPgaNaDv [01:39] should I downgrade to lynx? [01:39] My usb transfers always fail... I'm pretty sure my motherboard is slowly crapping out.. I blamed it on upgrading to lucid lynx but in Windows the same problem is happening [01:40] WXZ: #ubuntu+1 for 10.10 support. [01:40] it's taking 10 minutes to transfer a 700mb file [01:40] 10.10 isn't stable yet, it's a moving target, and nasty bugs are probably possible [01:41] down from 5.9mb/sec to 839.6kb/sec.. looks like it's failing? :( [01:41] Jordan_U: as far as I can remember, flash has sucked on ubuntu [01:41] jakegub: I can't tell why Ubuntu's installer isn't detecting the partitions but the kernel obviously is. Can you try installing "gdisk" and pastebin the output of "sudo gdisk /dev/sda" ? [01:41] yay...got my laptop monitor to show correctly :P [01:41] so it's not a version-specific problem [01:42] I'm trying to run sudo grub-install from a live USB on my netbook. I get this error: "cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?)" When I run sudo grub-install. /dev is mounted. What is going wrong? [01:42] my flash works snazzy in ubuntu [01:42] hola donde hay un chat en español?? [01:42] WXZ: seems to be great for me :D [01:42] !es | mas [01:42] mas: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [01:42] !es [01:42] if I bought a usb card to put in my expansion slots, would that be fail as well? [01:42] WXZ: did it work ok on previous versions? [01:42] not great rewire [01:43] WXZ: have you tryed installing alternative flash runtimes? [01:43] how can I test if it's my hardware or ubuntu? [01:43] there are alternative flash runtimes? [01:43] any that are specifically designed for ubuntu or linux? [01:44] hello [01:44] WXZ: yeah if you search for "Flash" in the ubuntu software center, there is an alternative open-source flash runtime for those hardcore "open source only" users. [01:44] what does this mean: [01:44] Add ~/.cljr/bin/ to your path (or copy the platform appropriate cljr script to your path). [01:44] which dist is better, ubuntu or Arch Linux?? [01:44] Linux is not annoying it just takes a while to learn it [01:44] Trial and Error type scenario's [01:44] see, in my vm [01:44] is /tmp the place that gets cleaned out everytime you reboot? [01:44] windows vm, it runs more smoothly [01:45] peepz: it means there is a program in ~/.cljr/bin that it wants to run, but cannot [01:45] and it's a vm :/ [01:45] peepz: because that path is not in the PATH variable [01:45] !best \ mas` [01:45] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:45] so what do I do???? [01:45] so I'm pretty sure that narrows it down to ubuntu being at fault [01:45] peepz: so the options are to either cp/ln the binaries in that folder to someplace in PATH, or add that path to PATH in your shell's configuration [01:45] which ubuntu file manager can mount disks automatically and browse network>? [01:46] its probably not so much of ubuntu's fault as it is adobe's for not optimising flash for *NIX systems [01:46] where is path [01:46] well yeah rewire [01:46] peepz: PATH is an environment variable that tells the shell where to look for binary files [01:46] ok thanks [01:46] anyway, the point being it's *not* my hardware [01:47] how can i solve this problem with Mesa installation? http://pastebin.com/pj0SqbkP [01:47] rewire: adobe is now working on NIX very actively === mmoebius_afk is now known as mmoebius [01:47] st: Probably there is nothing.

[01:49] how i can install coverflow in nautilus in ubuntu 10.04 (clutterflow)??? [01:49] st: automounting of removable drives is a function of the desktop environment [01:49] mas, im not sure that you will get an unbiased response from here but ubuntu and arch are different beasts and "better" depends on what you are looking for [01:50] I just mounted an external HFS+ filesystem and cannot put any new folders or files on it. I have the HFS tools and when I use Gparted>File System Support, HFS+ has green for everything except grow and label. When I go to permissions for the mounted filesystem it says user:501 group: dialout - Any ideas? [01:50] !best [01:50] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [01:50] st: All the automounting has a big drawback: Unm,ounting is not really predictable. And in general, you will not want to removee physical media that are in use even if they are beeing read only [01:50] I am running Ubuntu 9.10 on a dell inspiron 531s. After the fresh install, neither the ethernet nor the wireless works [01:50] jakegub: Ok, that's likely the problem. The Ubuntu installer is probably reading the GUID partition table, and the kernel is reading the msdos partition table (or visa versa). [01:51] who populates /media dir? [01:51] mas: http://www.ubunter.com/apps/blog/show/2915749-how-to-install-clutterflow-on-ubuntu [01:51] elysium, ok thats a start no internet no we need what wifi card what eth card and version of each to determine the problem [01:51] elijah: Do you have a line in /etc/fstab for that HFS files system ? [01:51] looks like Ubuntu 10.04 alt installator has bug - by selecting video editing tools software install fails [01:52] anytime i try to open an .exe with wine, i keep getting "the file *** is not marked as executable. If this was a downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. [01:52] ^now [01:52] how do i fix this? [01:52] mmoebius: Not yet, do I need one? [01:52] st: I think (but not 100% sure) it's udisks [01:52] elijah: If you want options set like e.g. the "owner" of the fs, you may need one [01:52] elijah: read 'man mount' if there's something about hfs options [01:52] fedora_newb, Right click the file. Go the file permissions tab. Check the execute check box. [01:52] i am not sure how to find those out. the wireless card came with the computer and the ethernet is onboard [01:52] jakegub: One of the partition tables contains no partitions, probably the GPT one. Select MBR and see if gdisk lists your partitions. If it does, and if it gives an option to remove the GUID partition table then do that (Nothing is actually written to disk by gdisk untill you enter "w"). [01:53] What's it take to get ffmpeg to encode to MP3? libavcodec1d is already the newest version. [01:53] mmoebius: I need this drive to stay the way it is because I need to exchange data back and forth via my Mac at work, will doing that allow me to do that? [01:53] fedora_newb: you probably need to mark the .exe file as executable [01:53] mmoebius: Ok, I will read up [01:53] fedora_newb: you can do this using chmod +x [01:53] thanks guys, that worked [01:54] elijah: there is an uid=n option for hfs, so most likely you will want to have that uid match the uid your user has, see 'id' [01:54] how can i solve this problem of compilation? http://pastebin.com/pj0SqbkP [01:55] elijah: You can use the option "noauto" to have the drive only mounted at your request if neeed. And you should add the option "users" or "user" (see 'man mount' again for the fine print) [01:55] fedora_newb: right click on the .exe and select propertys, from there permisions and tix the box that says "allow exicution of this file" [01:55] lol beaten to t [01:55] elijah: That way you make the filesystem user mounteable, that is you eliminate the need to use sudo ;.) [01:55] it* [01:56] esteban: looks like a bunch of stuff isn't included [01:56] mmoebius: Is this something I would put in fstab? [01:56] josh99: is *ubuntu-restricted-extras installed ? [01:56] anyone familiar with firestarter, using it for internet sharing but its blocking dhcp requests,specifically 255.255.255.255 broadcasts. I've turned them to allow in the config ... [01:56] mmoebius: Doubt it. Obtained those packages manually. I'll check. [01:56] elijah: usually yes [01:57] trying to get counter strike source working on ubuntu...so wish me luck :D [01:57] tensorpudding any ideas? [01:57] esteban: you probably should ask on the forums of whatever software it is you're trying to compile [01:57] fedora_newb: have you tryed using "play on linux"? [01:57] should i bring more information? [01:57] josh99: You need all those non-free codec packages. *restricted-extras is only a meta package, but it may help :-) [01:57] rewire. no. [01:58] using wine, rewire [01:58] elijah: us: Doubt it. Obtained those packages manually. I'll check. [01:58] hi why can't I install a i386 package on a amd64 ubuntu installation? [01:58] crap.Keyboard. [01:59] fedora_newb: playonlinux is a system that uses wine (it will install it as a pre-requisit) that will optimise the settings to make sure that the program you select from the list inside of playonlinux works [01:59] mmoebius: Happen to be able to list them? [01:59] if you wanna install commonly used apps, use POL [01:59] http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjpg-streamer/files/ -> this program is provided as a i386 .deb packet [01:59] i do not care about the wireless card I just need the ethernet connection to work [01:59] Jordan_U: Do I need to hit w and then run gparted? [01:59] mmoebius: If you get an idea of what to put into fstab, you can always try it out. the risk of losing dat is minimal [02:00] josh99: list what ? [02:00] josh99: the coidecs ? [02:00] jakegub: Can you pastebin all the output from gdisk? [02:00] elysium, did you ifconfig to see ? [02:00] mmoebius: Indeed. [02:01] hiexpo, hello :) [02:01] what should I see on ifconfig? [02:01] hello edbian [02:01] mmoebius: Because the only thing ffmpeg tells me is that MP4's unsupported. [02:01] josh99: I just go for all *restriced-extras packages the ubunut's offer :-) Just get it all and be over with it once and forever [02:01] s/4/3 [02:02] edbian, :) [02:02] josh99: Installing the meta-packaga will not hurt you. It just pulls in some maybe not-yet installed packages [02:02] How can I manually overwrite the MBR on a hdd? I have a working live USB (Ubuntu) ? [02:02] where can i download a paltalk plugin for pidgin ? [02:02] im a noob [02:02] jakegub: I'm going to need to leave in about 5 minutes. [02:03] noob needs help [02:03] Anarkay, What's your problem. [02:03] Charbel: wow they still have paltak? I thought that disappeared off the planet a decade ago. [02:03] edbian: dd if=source of=/dev/target bs=512 count=1 <--- this writes 1 512 byte sector on the disk [02:03] man...steam pretty laggy...hopefully css will run alot smoother when its installed :( [02:03] im on backtrack 4 [02:03] mmoebius, 512 bytes of "00000.." ? [02:03] well you are running windows binarys on linux ^^ [02:03] SoS: i lost my panels & applets, and cant add them back. What the terminal command to reset the Panels & applets? [02:03] mmoebius, Thanks. That out to do it! :D [02:03] mmoebius: Is there a regex I can pass to do that? It doesn't like just *-restricted-extras. [02:03] edbian: if you use /dev/zero as "source" ,. yes [02:03] hahaha Blue1Away no it stil exist [02:03] still* [02:03] mmoebius, I see. Thanks again [02:04] hmm [02:04] i almost got it figured out === Blue1Away is now known as Blue1 [02:04] !backtarck-linux [02:04] ya!

Same thing for xubuntu nad maybe others [02:05] josh99: definitively get ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:05] rewire...didn't know they made one for linux...i use them on my windows :D [02:05] thanks [02:06] haha yeah they ported it to win/lin/mac xD [02:06] np :D [02:06] someone here told me how before, i cant acess my notes [02:06] why are they called restricted extras? [02:06] just curious [02:06] anywho, its 2am so im off xD [02:06] fedora_newb: http://flipsidereality.com/blog/uncategorized/lamp-on-debian-ubuntu-mint-etc-one-line-install/ [02:07] 1restricted > at05gt [02:07] mmoebius: Everything that printed is apt-getting now. This'll take a while. Cheers. [02:07] jakegub: Try "p", if that lists your partitions then use "w".

[02:07] mmoebius, This appears to have solved my problem. I love Linux. Thank you very very much. [02:08] n0a1ias: No, Uggla. [02:08] ha i was close [02:08] ratdog, gnome-panel& [02:08] really [02:08] ratdog, Didn't we already do this? :) [02:08] Jordan_U: Done. P listed partitions, so I hit w [02:08] heh [02:08] ratdog, yes really [02:08] lol [02:08] ok [02:08] edbian: You're welcome :-) dd is a mighty tool. try to read 'man dd' if you have the time ever. This thingie is used e.g. fopr recovery of broken hard drives, too [02:08] !end-of-life [02:08] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [02:09] jakegub: If that doesn't remove the GPT then you'll have to use another option that I can't remember off the top of my head, and I need to leave now. I'll be back in 4/5 hours though. [02:09] mmoebius, Appears my partition table is gone too now! [02:09] mmoebius, ha ha ha [02:09] mmoebius, Good bye windows xp! [02:10] o.o [02:10] Grats [02:10] ... wow. It just hit me that I've been sitting here making filesystem changes/editing fstab/other stuff in the terminal instead of the gui tools. Dang being used to Ubuntu Server --; [02:11] owned [02:11] ok, if i install kubuntu-desktop do i get the latest kde [02:11] on ifconfig it says Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: : :1/128 Scope:host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen: 0 RX bytes :0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) [02:11] gstarx90: the latest one in the repository [02:11] Which may or may not be the actual latest version [02:11] close enough ;x [02:11] edbian: Whoops, that was an unwanted side-effect [02:12] edbian terminal told me, [1] 3309 [02:12] edbian: You could try using the "gpart" tool to restore the partitions if needed [02:12] is that a prob :/ [02:12] when i use the shell konsole on backtrack it doesn't detect my interface, what am i doing wrong [02:12] gstarx90, check in distrowatch.com please [02:12] Anarkay: asking about backtrack in #ubuntu [02:12] !backtrack | Anarkay [02:12] Anarkay: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

My new problem is that the installer keeps crashing when it starts to write to the new partition. [02:13] Anarkay, this is not backtrack support go to #backtrack-linux [02:13] where can i download a paltalk plugin for pidgin ? [02:13] ratdog, Did the panels show up? [02:13] edbian: The installer that's the one on the usb stick ? How'd you get the bootable usb stick ? [02:14] wait [02:14] edbian: or short: Which installer ist it ? Standard or "Alternative" ? [02:14] worked now [02:14] ty [02:14] mmoebius: you have to make a live disk on the usb drive to get it bootable [02:14] now lost them again [02:15] mmoebius, I have a Debian machine. Used it to build the USB stick. When I run the USB stick on the target machine all works fine. Until the installer starts to write to the target hdd partition. Get's to about 5% and freezes then crashes [02:15] edbian: Did you make new partitions with e.g. fdisk and did you reboot or 'partprobe' to have the (new) partitions recognized ? [02:15] Charbel, i just google paltalk plugin for pidgin [02:15] mmoebius, I choose "use entire disk" in the installer [02:15] mmoebius, Should I wipe the driver proper? [02:15] edbian: Then the installer will partition it. [02:15] mmoebius, That's what I figured. [02:15] hey everyone, need a little help getting a net install working. I configured everything as said on the ubuntu website, but I thought I might take it a step further and try to get the net live cd working. The instructions say to either mount the iso to the tftpboot root directory or extract the files to that location. [02:15] edbian: That'll be as good as wiped [02:15] hey guys, how can i execute following if my server started?: cd /root/apache-solr-1.4.0/example/ && java -jar start.jar [02:15] mmoebius, Well the installer still crashed at about 5% [02:16] mmoebius, It's doing it as we speak! [02:16] edbian: Is the drive physically ok ? Is is pata or sata or scsi ? [02:16] Problem is, I mounted the iso, but the client will not boot the live cd [02:16] mmoebius, It's in a netbook. I don't actually know. Never took it out. [02:16] whats the best windows version to use for wine? XP? [02:16] hiexpo, i google it and all i found forums and Gaim plugin but not available to download [02:16] at05gt: depends on what program you're trying to run. [02:16] hey all, can anyone help me with samba? i'm having client-side issues. it's asking certain clients for a user/pass, and other clients get no prompt... [02:17] DS emulator to play my old pokemon games, dont laugh at me there fun [02:17] Is there anyway to see a wifi password in plaintext that has been saved through NetworkManager? [02:17] mmoebius, gparted seems to have no trouble clearing it out. [02:17] edbian: Mayba you should check the drive's health with the smartmontools the command is 'smartctl' [02:17] lake, probably easier to get it off of the router. [02:17] lake, no [02:17] at05gt: have you checked to wine app db? [02:18] mmoebius, Command not found. [02:18] mmoebius, You don't have some other tool on mind do you? [02:18] mmoebius, Can gparted check a drive that has no partitions? [02:18] dejavou42: i just installed wine im configing it now [02:18] !enter | edbian [02:18] edbian: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:18] edbian: yeah, but gparted will only need to check out hte partition table and maybe a few kb around the partition boundaries. So if there is a write error in the middle of the disk, the system may hang when it writes there [02:18] arrrghhh, Sorry [02:19] edbian, no prob. looks like you probably just need to install those tools. [02:19] edbian: smart is smart, there's no 2nd implementation of it, sorry [02:19] check the wine app db to see if the program you're trying to install is supported. http://appdb.winehq.org/ [02:19] thanks deja [02:19] mmoebius: Thanks, I am getting closer [02:19] i have no internet [02:19] hey [02:20] at05gt: np [02:20] edbian: can't you apt-get install smartmontools in the live environment ? [02:20] what is the command to open the alsa sound options in terminal? [02:20] My mic on my laptop is not working, is there an equivalent of Windows device/hardware manager where I can see all my devices with missing drivers? [02:20] mmoebius, I don't know if I can get the wifi up cli only? [02:20] mmoebius, The gui wouldn't load. Lemme try again [02:20] edbian: A cable would be *way* easier [02:21] arrrghhh: If I'm not mistaken samba uses the usernames and passwords from the host computer to authenticate [02:21] edbian: wifi on the cli is hard if you need e.g. wpa (wpasupplicant) [02:21] mmoebius, arrrghhh Don't have one I'm afraid. I agree though. I'm gonna reboot it. (I do need wpa2 encypt) [02:21] dejavou42, but why would my laptop sometimes ask for a password, but on my gf's it never asks? i've even tried "saving" it on my laptop, no luck. [02:21] does no one know? [02:21] edbian: without security (maybe wep only) wifi on the cli is doable [02:21] mmoebius: Can I only mount a device if it is in fstab? I try mount /etc/sda1 as root and it says "mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [02:22] elijah: root can mount anything anywhere. Users need fstab entries [02:22] elijah, Give it a folder to mount in! [02:22] edbian, :) [02:22] arrrghhh: You should be able to check something like "remember this password" on the client machines. This is probably why some of the computers being asked for credentials [02:22] hiexpo, What are you grinning at me for? :P [02:22] elijah: mount /etc/sda1 /mnt shourd work [02:22] lol wow guild wars works [02:22] dejavou42, i tried that... [02:23] edbian, \ are you testing or are you really down ? [02:23] "i've even tried "saving" it on my laptop, no luck." [02:23] hiexpo, pardon? [02:23] hiexpo, did you see anything in the ifconfig screen that i posted? [02:23] Charbel: from what I can see there is no paltalk plugin for pidgin and they don't seem to have plans for it either. You can try www.paltalkexpress.com [02:23] edbian, you haveno internet ? [02:24] I'm trying to resize ext4 partition using 30GB that I was using for Windows.. but it seens I can't do that [02:24] need urgent help [02:24] ok thx IdleOne [02:24] http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/189/selection001lq.png [02:24] hiexpo: Of cource edbian has no internet. You're chating with a ghost ;-) [02:24] arrrghhh: hmm check your samba settings system --> administration--> samba. Then go to preferences --> server settings [02:24] hiexpo, I have no internet on the target machine. This machine (the one I'm talking to you on) quite obviously has internet. Of course it does though. This is my baby! :) [02:25] dejavou42, ah. it's a server. i have webmin to configure samba, or the conf file :D [02:25] arrrghhh: are you allowing a guest account? what is the authentication mode? [02:25] mmoebius, arrrghhh Speaking of. I know have internet (and a complete graphical live instance) on the target machine. I'm gonna install smartlctrl. Is that the package name? [02:25] edbian: package is "smartmontools" [02:25] wine works but ive got no sound [02:25] dejavou42, yes i believe i have the guest account enabled. [02:25] nevermind fixed it [02:26] I just tried "dmidecode" and it gave me some good info but is not listing my laptop mic. Any way to find out what my laptop mic is called so I can Google driver support for Linux? [02:26] mmoebius, ok [02:26] mmoebius, Thanks. I'll get it and run it and let you know. The command is smartctl ? [02:26] uLinux: What size do you want for /dev/sda5 ? [02:26] arrrghhh: that could be why it prompts sometimes and other times doesn't. Try turning that off and it should prompt all the time. [02:27] edbian: yes "smartctl" usually "smartctl -a /dev/whatever" [02:27] dejavou42, lol what if i never want it to prompt... i'd prefer no password authentication. i know, not secure... but it's only on my lan. [02:27] I have a question [02:27] mmoebius: I want to use those unallocated 30gb.. [02:28] mmoebius, I got a lot of errors about public keys not available? [02:28] where windows was installed [02:28] cakeman007, ask full ? [02:28] i have 10.04 Ubuntu 64bit, and i do not have the option to connect to any wifi [02:28] I have no keys. [02:28] OMG [02:28] edbian: you may need to issue "smartctl -s on /dev/whatever" before you can use smart (enableing it on the device). But you see that if smartctl -a throws an error [02:28] Commodore USA!!! [02:28] no drop down menu [02:28] or anything [02:29] arrrghhh: Not really sure, I haven't dug into samba that far, but My guess would be to try domain. [02:29] mmoebius: Will logging out and back in be good enough to load fstab? [02:29] mmoebius, No no. I can't even apt-get update. I have no public keys. Where can I get them? [02:29] ty, brb [02:29] arrrghhh: As long as all of your computers are on the same domain, it should authenticate [02:29] uLinux: You want to use the unallocated Partition before /dev/sda2 , right ? [02:29] yes mmoebius [02:30] dejavou42, hrm. is that supported in samba v3? i know they're making a lot of big promises for v4... but last i tried it wasn't nearly production-ready. [02:30] uLinux: That is not easily possible because /dev/sda2 is an extended partition and will AFAIK not move whern there are other partitions inside it. [02:30] Is it possible to configure Ubuntu Netbook Remix (or whatever it's currently called) to not lock the screen if AC power is detected? The power management and screensaver options don't show any easy way. [02:30] uLinux: is there data in the ext4 FS that needs to be retained ? [02:30] arrrghhh: don't know about the webmin interface, but it sure is an option on my box. 10.04 [02:30] desktop [02:31] ? [02:31] uLinux: Otherwise, you could just kill all partitions and re-setup them fresh and clean [02:31] Can anyone help me with a ubuntu net installation using Live CD? [02:31] dejavou42, do you know what version of samba you're running? if you didn't do any mucking with your repo's i'd assume v3... [02:31] mmoebius, What if I just create a new partition table? [02:32] How can I get the public keys for Ubuntu Netbook? Anybody? [02:32] mmoebius: yes .. it seems I have to reinstall everything again just because I had windows installed .. really lame [02:32] is help.ubuntu.com down? [02:32] does ubuntu officially support computers made by Commodore USA??? [02:32] ;p [02:32] do i have to give any more information to help any potential problem solvers? [02:32] edbian: Well, we wiped your old partition table, that means the harddisk is now about as clean as it can get. You *have to* create a new partition table [02:32] mmoebius: Finished installing; no dice [02:32] uLinux: Well, not necessarily [02:32] mmoebius, gparted seems to think there is one there. msdos [02:33] mmoebius: In regard to getting ffmpeg to export MP3 [02:33] rooks, not for me. you can always use http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ :D [02:33] josh99: Still no mp3 encoding ? [02:33] arrrghhh, k, thx :) [02:33] mmoebius: Affirmative [02:33] josh99:I am out of clues. Did you e.g. reboot so all libraries can reload [02:33] arrrghhh: 3.4.7 [02:33] haha WOOT got my emulato working with wine and it recognized my saves [02:33] mmoebius: No; I assumed it'd gripe [02:33] emulator* [02:34] dejavou42, hrm. alrighty, i'll pokie around. thanks! [02:34] rebooting... [02:34] arrrghhh: np [02:34] edbian: Then gparted has detected some backup copy of the partition table. Wiping sector 0 of the disk should pretty much have busted the partition table. [02:34] mmoebius, k [02:34] i have 10.04 Ubuntu 64bit, and i do not have the option to connect to any wifi. help plz? [02:34] mmoebius, gparted is very low level. Perhaps it's just saying things. [02:34] can someone please tell me ubuntu beta channel ? [02:34] edbian: create a new table if possible (that is no valueable data left on the disk) [02:35] guys is there any command line to extract resource from a windows game ? [02:35] uLinux: You have data (an installed os) in the ext4 fs, right ? [02:35] mmoebius, I'm have an idea. I'm going to create a partition that's set back a bit on the disk. If there is a physical problem somewhere maybe I can just avoid it to get a working os on here. [02:35] hi, how easy is it to dual boot if you have windows7 install first? [02:35] >:( [02:35] cakeman007, > i have 10.04 Ubuntu 64bit, and i do not have the option to connect to any wifi < first iwconfig > than what is yor comp ? > what is your wifi card / brand > model # version # [02:35] mmoebius: i dont know man it's data (documents, music etc [02:35] awesome_guest, same hard drive or 2 hard drives...? [02:35] !maverick Ivis [02:35] edbian: gparted is also quite smart. There are ways (like gpart (not geparted!) does to detect partitions even without partition table [02:36] !maverick | Ivis [02:36] Ivis: 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 [02:36] mmoebius, I see [02:36] Dulak, Thanks mate! :) [02:36] arrrghhh: same hd [02:36] hiexpo, i cant get to it right now [02:36] awesome_guest, it's much easier to install ubuntu first. [02:36] im on my mac [02:37] uLinux: There is of course the option to shift the whole filesystem by hand. But the procedure is rather dangerous. Would it suffice for you if you could mount the remaining 30gb e.g. like /extra30gb ? [02:37] cakeman007, well when you can i am sure we can help you more ") [02:37] 9.10 version of ubuntu with dell inspiron 531s. onboard ethernet not working to connect to internet [02:37] hiexpo, thats the problem [02:37] arrrghhh: could you point me to an up to date dual boot guide, by any chance? [02:37] I can just dl the latest image and use that [02:37] awesome_guest, you can do it, but win7 will blast out grub & your ubuntu install. so then you'll have to boot back to a livecd and fix grub. plus, if you didn't leave any raw unallocated space... you'll have to resize the existing partition. [02:38] hiexpo, i cant pull up irc while im on linux because i dont have wifi! [02:38] mmoebius: no I dont want that [02:38] arrrghhh: so win7 first? [02:38] unfortunately for me [02:38] how to troubleshoot F1-F12 keys not working in lucid with a microsoft 1000 wireless keyboard? [02:38] cakeman007, open a terminal iwconfig [02:38] uLinux: Even if you use gparted, wouldf you have a backup of the stuff ? Using gparted can lead to catastrophic failures if something unexpected happens [02:38] awesome_guest, yes install win7 first. leave some raw unpartitioned space for ubuntu. then install ubuntu, using the remaining unpartitioned space on the hd. [02:39] yeah that sounds good [02:39] thanks [02:39] hiexpo, i cant! [02:39] awesome_guest, and google is awesome. here's the official ubuntu doc - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [02:39] hiexpo im on my mac! [02:39] uLinux: You don't want waht ? Shifting by hand or mounting the extra space ? [02:39] i have it on dual boot [02:39] hiexpo, i posted the full results of the ifconfig [02:39] anyone know why g++ --version would tell me that g++ is not installed with synaptic clearly shows that g++ 4.1 is installed? [02:39] hokay [02:40] mmoebius: I dont a separate partition for the 30gb tks for the help anyway [02:40] dont want [02:40] elijah: fstab is consulted every time "mount" or "umount" nruns. there's no need to logout/in. The change is instanteous [02:40] Hello folks, I am h aving a problem installing programs from the Ubuntu Software Center. It says there was a programming error in aptdaemon. [02:40] do you know if lucid works well with SSD's? [02:40] Anyway I can reinstall/fix this? [02:40] elysium, where? [02:41] is there something to test out my hdd performance via ssh [02:41] primedeath, have you tried to use synaptic? [02:41] Negative. [02:41] I am a complete noob. ;D [02:41] mmoebius: Thanks! I would never had known that! [02:41] n ifconfig it says Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: : :1/128 Scope:host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen: 0 RX bytes :0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) [02:41] primedeath, I would try to use Synaptic. the software center is very buggy [02:41] uLinux: you could try duplicating the existing filesystem to the unoccupied partition if it fits there. then you use that and later, you kill /dev/sda5, then you expand the now existing partition (dev/sda1 to fill the wohle drive [02:42] Ah, okay. Where would I Acquire that? Just google it? [02:42] wasting my time sorry we use pastebin here gotta go help someone else [02:42] uLinux: Of course you have to be lucky, i.e. /dev/sda5 has to "fit" in the first partition [02:42] primedeath, it is already installed. It does the same basic thing as software center [02:42] Where to acquire Synaptic? [02:42] are you using kde or gnome? [02:43] primedeath: System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager [02:43] how do i set a ppa as one of the sources for ubuntu server 10.04? [02:43] I see Ragebot. [02:43] Thanks. [02:43] mmoebius: "mount point /media/eli does not exist" any idea? This is following the same pattern as the other drives in fstab. [02:43] primedeath, NP [02:43] elijah: sorry for responding slowly. I hop back and forth between 3 propblems as you see :-) [02:43] elijah: create the directory /media/eli with sudo mkdir /media/eli [02:43] why don't you enlighten me as to what pastebin is instead of telling me that i am wasting your time? the ifconfig is from another computer [02:43] elijah: /media/eli has to be an empty directory [02:43] is there something to test out my hdd performance via ssh [02:44] Well, I went ahead and did an apt-get install synaptic and it fixed the problem with the USC. [02:44] elysium: ubuntu.pastebin.com [02:44] How can I remove the XP entry on grub? [02:44] Fixed those errors I had. :D [02:44] elijah: try 'sudo mkdir /media/eli' [02:44] http://i.imgur.com/16PEl.png For some reason, my "system tray" widgets are randomly messed up on login. Does anyone know why this happens? [02:44] mmoebius: Hmm, do my other drives in there need those directories? I see them in there but I didn't make them, did fstab make my other drive directories too? [02:45] uLinux: try 'update-grub' [02:45] uLinux, I believe there is a config file for grub that you can edit. However, I cannot remember which file [02:45] elijah: only if you had them mounted during the install or told the installer where to mount them. [02:45] !grub [02:45] 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. [02:45] bastid_raZor: Ok, thanks [02:46] where do i see addded ppa's [02:46] cant find them in sources.list [02:46] guys is there any command line to extract resource (music, images and stuff) from a windows game ? [02:46] drjo: they should be listed in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory [02:46] elijah: no these directories are made when the automounter makes them during automount. Btw: for the "hand created" mountpoints, I'd rather use /mnt/eli in order not to interfere with the automounter which uses /media/ [02:46] anyone know what could cause g++ to not be found even though synaptic indicates that it is installed? [02:46] mmoebius: It mounted now, permissions are now root for user and group, I still can't make a new folder on the FS. So now I would unmount and try to mount using that HFS flag right? [02:46] drjo: adding things to 'sources.list' is considerd a bad practice these days [02:46] ok [02:46] why is that ? [02:47] !find g++ [02:47] Found: akonadi-dbg, akregator, alacarte, amarok-dbg, antlr3-gcj, apache2-mpm-event, apache2-mpm-prefork, apache2-mpm-worker, apport-gtk, apt-listchanges (and 10694 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=g%2B%2B&searchon=names&suite=lucid§ion=all [02:47] drjo: theres no need to be adding them to a 'file' the sources.list.d is a better methodology [02:47] elijah: yes, now you'd try the uid=.... option when mounting [02:47] yeah ok:) [02:47] found them now [02:47] thank you rallias [02:47] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/X5ASpEVg [02:47] Dr_Willis, I have it installed, according to synaptic, but when I try to use it says that g++ cannot be found [02:48] mmoebius, I'm doing dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 no count [02:48] ragebot: try the 'rehash' command to recheck the paths perhaps. [02:48] mmoebius, Just to wipe the drive. [02:48] mmoebius: K [02:48] /usr/bin/g++ [02:48] elijah: if you are mounting as root, you can pass any option with 'mount -o option1=xyz,option2=foo' etc. that saves you from editing /etc/fstab for each attempt [02:48] My ubuntu live USB is missing the public keys to talk to the repos. Can anybody help? [02:49] edbian: That wipes the drive for sure :-) [02:49] find !reshash [02:49] mmoebius, Can I speed it up with a bigger bs ? [02:49] !find rehash [02:49] File rehash found in atheme-services, cyrus-common-2.2, dancer-services, epic4-help, freemat-data, freemat-help, geomview, hybserv, inspircd, inspircd-dbg (and 26 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=rehash&mode=&suite=lucid&arch=any [02:49] rehash = bash built in command to recheck the paths/cach of the paths. [02:49] So I downloaded the alternate cd for my amd64/asus a8n32-sli. I installed it to a usb drive and booted off it, but neither ps2 nor usb keyboard are working - i can't tell it to start the installation! [02:49] edbian: you could use a larger bs= to speed up the process as writing 512 bytes at a time is not the optimum for thruput :-) try bs=8M [02:50] hi [02:50] edbian: yes. I see, you ask the right questions :-) [02:50] mmoebius, Now I'm getting 121 MB/sec instead of 8 [02:50] Dr_Willis, says reshash cannot be found either. BTW, I am running off of a flashdrive if it make a difference [02:50] howdy [02:50] mmoebius, O good! :) [02:50] in what bundle s the "as" program located? [02:51] is* [02:51] any programmers here have any ideas of open source projects for me to help contribute to? I would like to start getting involved [02:51] edbian: That's a netbbook ? [02:51] mmoebius, yeah. 120Gb hdd [02:51] xfreakk: http://openhatch.org [02:51] thanks astrocub [02:51] np gl [02:51] ragebot: its a bash built in.. youi are using bash? [02:51] edbian: btw, to get it a little mote "graphic" , some people use ddrescue which has the same options as dd but a nice progress indicator and integrated throughput calculator [02:52] ragebot: could be your PATH is all wrong or somthiong else going on. [02:52] hello Dr_Willis [02:52] hi hiexpo [02:52] Dr_Willis, good questions, I assume XFCE comes with bash. I don't think it would come with kshell [02:52] ragebot: $ echo $SHELL [02:52] /bin/bash [02:53] nothing on openhatch for java :( [02:53] Dr_Willis, yup bash [02:53] astrocub: do you have "as" installed or are you missing it ? [02:54] ragebot: path to the binary is --> /usr/bin/g++ [02:54] all bash best [02:54] mm any idea why im not able to join ##java? [02:54] astrocub: if you have it installed (most likely) then try 'dpkg -S $(which as)' [02:54] !register | mordjah_ [02:54] mordjah_: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [02:54] mordjah_: proberly regiustered nicks only [02:54] aah [02:54] Dr_Willis, yeah, I just checked where is g++ and got nothing. But yes, /use/bin/ is in the path [02:54] hmm [02:55] I'm having trouble printing to a shared printer on a windows machine. I've read all the how-to's on the forum but A) They don't match my kubuntu printer setup options and B) If the windows printer is shared in samba by default I don't know the smb:// address. [02:56] what is ubuntu member ? [02:56] !membership | drjo [02:56] drjo: Want to become an Ubuntu member? Look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership [02:56] theixle: you could always use smb://TheMachinesipNumber/ [02:56] Dr_Willis, would there be a difference b/t the default g++ (which I uninstalled) and g++ 4.1 (which is installed) [02:56] ragebot: no idea really. I just install build-essential and thats about it. [02:57] ragebot: how did you install 4.1 ? [02:57] Dr_Willis, I tried that it didn't find it in the scan. [02:57] Dr_Willis, from synatpic [02:57] mmoebius: I am running " sudo mount -o hfs uid=n /dev/sda1" and I get "mount: special device uid=n does not exist" [02:58] theixle: you could try the cups web interface also. http://localhost:631 [02:58] work time. bye all. [02:59] anyone else got help for printing to a windows shared printer from ubuntu? [02:59] Dr_Willis, bye [02:59] elijah: a little confusion on your side :-) The right command is 'sudo mount -t hfs -o uid=[put-your-userid-here] /dev/sda1' if you have an fstab entry for it [02:59] elijah: and you need your numeric userid for that. Which is it ? [02:59] mmoebius: Ahh, okay, hwo do I find my user id? [03:00] does anyone understand firestarter, and why it blocks dhcp requests? [03:00] elijah: type 'id' in a terminal [03:00] elijah: userid: 'id' ... thios tells aoyu also all the groups you are in :-.) [03:00] bastid_raZor: Got it, 1000 it appears [03:00] how do i get a channel list? [03:01] elijah:the option -h in "mount -t hfs" determines the type of the filesystem. Taht is of course "hfs" for your drive [03:01] How can I start the User Manager from the command line? [03:01] does 'smb://' protocol a Nautilus' things, or some other file managers dupport it?? [03:01] I cannot install Ubuntu on this netbook. I'm open to anything at this point. The installer crashes at 5% every time! [03:01] mmoebius: I ran the above command and it printed out what seems like a mini-help file [03:02] Any ideas are welcome!!!! [03:02] and other question, can you trcommend me som e gui file manager, the lightr, the bertter [03:02] elijah:the option -o in "mount -o uid=..." then sets special options that belong to the hfs filesystem only. Just for info: 'man mount' covers first the general options to 'mount' and then, later on the special options fopr certain filesystems [03:03] edbian: what is the partition layout now ? and did "smartctl -a [03:04] " return anything useable or errors ? [03:04] mmoebius, I can't get smartctl installed because I have no public keys so I can't talk to the apt package mirrors [03:04] mmoebius, The entire drive is empty. No partitions at all. [03:04] elijah: if you just type "id" and hit enter it should work, no ? [03:04] edbian: maybe you need a partition table with partitions ? [03:04] mmoebius, Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you. I figured you'd be done with me! :P [03:05] mmoebius: I am following you, however that command prints out put like this - http://typr.in/24rq [03:05] mmoebius: "id" works great, I am 1000! [03:05] mmoebius, I'll try it. [03:06] elijah: interesting. Then you have to give the "mount-point", too. that is the empty directory you have set up before [03:06] mmoebius, I've tried so many variations now. I'm sure I've covered this case. [03:07] edbian: No, not done with you :-) So, you have some / and some swap partition, i guess ? [03:07] mmoebius, I have 0 partitions. an empty disk [03:08] edbian: btw, what version of ubuntui is it you try to install ? Is it 10.04 ? Just because i remember some baaaad headaches on a dell laptop with ubuntu 9.04 [03:08] 10.04 [03:08] has anyone configured xserver-xorg-video-dummy before and know how to make it work? [03:08] mmoebius, This is an acer aspire one. I'm installing 10.04 netbook edition using a 1Gb live USB [03:08] edbian: use fdisk to make e.g. 20 gb / (root) and 2 gb for swap (just testing, you can resize them later [03:09] mmoebius, Does it make a difference that I did that (almost) exact scenario with gparted? [03:09] edbian: I hope the wlan will work for you. I've seen people having headaches with that, but that was a year ago or so [03:10] mmoebius, wlano works on the live USB. I'd like the installer to work for me. [03:10] edbian: No, usuinf gparted or fdisk is pretty much the same on the outcome [03:10] mmoebius, Well then that experiment has been done and it didn't work :( [03:10] mmoebius: I got this to work "sudo mount -t hfsplus -o uid=1000 /dev/sda1 /mnt/eli" however, I am now thinking that hfsplus and hfs are not going to support the same options [03:10] I don't think it's an error with the hdd. I admit it appears to be. But I don't think it is. Anyway, any other suggestions? [03:10] mmoebius: owner of mount point is back at 501 [03:11] elijah: Oh, i wouldn't know if the drive is hfsplus or hfs formatted. Which filesystem is on the drive ? [03:11] mmoebius: It is hfsplus [03:11] I'm trying to install truecrypt on my system. but when i type "sudo sh /home/n/Desktop/truecrypt-7.0a-setup-ubuntu-x86" i only get error message "Can't open /home/n/Desktop/truecrypt-7.0a-setup-ubuntu-x86". What to do? [03:11] mmoebius, Just a guess here. I'm gonna try ext3 instead of 4. [03:12] I doubt this will solve the prob though [03:12] edbian: ext3 is more tested. go ahead. Good idea. [03:12] bfsd: does the file exist (eg can you tab complete to it?) and is it executable [03:12] do a ls -la /home/n/Desktop/truecrypt-7.0a-setup-ubuntu-x86 [03:12] edbian: Actually, I'd say you get the alternate installer (if that is still available with 10.04) and install from text mode. [03:12] hi guys [03:13] what's a good Gigabit switch for a home office? [03:13] edbian: the graphic installer can hang badly (that was it what ist did for me on the dell laptop) [03:13] masen not sure what to answer. It's what i took out of the tar.gz file [03:13] and does Ubuntu 10.04 transfer file between two computer as fast as 1,000Mbps? [03:13] is there some way you can make a flash drive that will authenticate for you when you have it plugged in? like one full of keys [03:13] mASEN "ls: cannot access /home/n/Desktop/truecrypt-7.0a-setup-ubuntu-x86: No such file or directory" [03:13] probably a stupid question but should sound work in a live cd? I do not hear anything when running 10.04 on my laptop from a live cd. [03:14] edbian: Or: use a micro-SD card and and adaptor. Ehen you can use a "normal" computer and install from the CD-drive, just the install target is the microSD card and not the internal hd [03:14] Thank you mmoebius, I had it installed. It is located in the binutils package. [03:14] bfsd: but you can see the file on your desktop? [03:14] mmoebius, mmmm ext3: same issue. [03:14] should [03:14] masen yes [03:15] elijah: unfortunately, i see no options in 'man mouunt' for hfsplus. :-( [03:15] /home/n/Desktop truecrypt-7.0a-setup-x86 [03:15] welp gn alll [03:15] mmoebius, I don't have a flash drive that big. Perhaps I'll try creating a new copy of the USB drive. That's the only thing I see could be wrong. [03:15] hhi guys just installed ubuntu netbook [03:15] mmoebius: I just found this from 2008 that says there is no write support for HFS+ http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/mounting-hfs-volumes-under-linux-521189/ [03:15] bfsd: okay, try the ls -la command again, but try to use tab completion in your shell to autocomplete the file name [03:15] but resolution is too high hence cannot move cursor to the system icon to change resolution please help [03:16] i have to manually restart cups and samba to get my printer to share.. is there a workaround for this? [03:16] masen tabing gives me this ":~$ ls -la /home/n/Desktop/truecrypt-7.0a-" === Guest8986 is now known as sentry [03:17] elijah: At least in gentoo, the situation seems a (little) differnt: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Hfsplus [03:17] just installed ubuntu netbook but resolution is too high hence cannot move cursor to the system icon to change resolution please help [03:17] bfsd: then push tab twice and it will list all possible completions [03:17] what exactly is ppa? where is it located? [03:17] copy/paste what is displays [03:17] elijah: Maybe the thing about "disabling journaling" under MacOsX is what you have to do to get it to work [03:18] Hello! Firefox is unable to communicate with my speakers. (I test this by going to youtube and playing a particular video). Said same video works perfectly fine in Chrome. What can I do to solve this? [03:18] sentry: ppa is a personal package archive, unsupported software hosted on ubuntu launchpad [03:18] edbian: I'm thinking if you can't get some minimalistiv linux installed before you try that whopping big ubuntu [03:18] sentry: you can add them by typing: sudo add-apt-repository [03:18] then update your repo cache with: sudo apt-get update [03:18] mmoebius, Yeah I've been thinking bout that too. But I want what I want. :) [03:19] so it is not on ubuntu [03:19] mmoebius, Good idea though. I'll go grab arch or something. That is like 100MB [03:19] it is a site [03:19] it's not officially supported software [03:19] its a repository [03:19] edbian: Maybe you just try a "notmal" intaller and not from the netbook edition. [03:19] so it will show up in synaptic [03:19] Hello! Firefox is unable to communicate with my speakers. (I test this by going to youtube and playing a particular video). Said same video works perfectly fine in Chrome. What can I do to solve this? [03:19] mmoebius, I think the fact that the public keys were missing on a live CD was foreshadowing that the image wasn't complete for some reason [03:19] mmoebius, Yeah, that too. [03:19] and function transparently with the software that comes with ubuntu [03:19] mmoebius: Now I am scared :) [03:19] edbian: I am sorry I have so little actual help to offer for you :-( [03:19] mmoebius, :) Thanks for all the help! [03:20] masen yes "truecrypt-7.0a-linux-x86.tar.gz" and "truecrypt-7.0a-setup-x86" [03:20] elijah: why scared ? [03:20] will the ubuntu 10.10 have better wireless drives on it [03:21] KDC1956: ask in #ubuntu+1 [03:21] elijah: oh, did you ever try 'mount -t hfsplus' ? [03:21] masen now it worked. Thank you [03:21] bfsd: alright, type the s and press tab to complete the filename and see if it still gives you the not found error [03:21] bfsd: great! [03:21] mmoebius: I was really hoping to be able to leave the drive as is so I could bring it back and forth between work [03:21] elijah: The Gentoo documentation is very "from the grounds up". In ubuntu, generally kernels and modules will already be compiled and basically it [03:21] 's all ready to us for you [03:22] elijah: did you ever try 'mount -t hfsplus' ? [03:23] elijah: that is if you instruct mount with -t hfs to treat the drive as hfs, the mounting sure to fail (--> read only) [03:23] mmoebius: Just tried it and the command went well [03:23] mmoebius: When I try to access disk in Dolphin it gives error (after password) [03:24] mmoebius: I tried mount -t hfsplus [03:24] elijah: see on the command line first. Where did you mount it ? [03:25] and other question, can you trcommend me som e gui file manager, the lightr, the bertter? [03:25] elijah: you'll have to use a longer commend line, just like the longer ones above. with all the -o uid and /dev/sda1 /mnt/eli [03:25] mmoebius: I just typed mount -t hfsplus, nothing else, would it just use what is in fstab then? [03:25] Any suggestions for software to be on my linux laptop, and being able to manage a windows 7 system remotely? [03:25] Firefox is unable to communicate with my speakers. (I test this by going to youtube and playing a particular video). Said same video works perfectly fine in Chrome. What can I do to solve this? Or do I need to go somewhere else? [03:26] Lxndr: click the speaker in your panel and select sound preferences [03:26] elijah: no, just -t is not enough that's like saying "Buy a red' ... a red what ? Apple ? Car ? ... [03:26] Lxndr: select the applications tab in the dialog and see if firefox is turned down or muted [03:27] elijah: the least is mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda1 if there is an fstab entry for /dev/sda1 [03:27] mmoebius: Gotcha, I just tried the long way, uid= didn't take [03:27] but resolution is too high hence cannot move cursor to the system icon to change resolution please help [03:27] installed netbook but resolution is too high hence cannot move cursor to the system icon to change resolution please help [03:27] mmoebius: sudo mount -t hfsplus -o uid=1000 /dev/sda1 /mnt/eli [03:28] elijah: did that go through smoothly ? [03:28] hou5ton: rdesktop is included with ubuntu, to connect via RDP from your shell: rdesktop [03:28] elijah: the command looks right [03:28] mmoebius: It mounted but owner is still 501 [03:28] masen: Speaker in my panel? I'm not sure what you mean. [03:28] elijah: strange :-( [03:28] mmoebius: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/5878/ [03:29] Lxndr: i meant the speaker icon, but you may not have it. the same dialog can be summoned by going to System > Preferences > Sound [03:29] masen: not to sound too much like a newbie (which i am) ... but will that access the computer in another state? [03:29] masen: Not on a LAN [03:29] does anyone have the rubygems bundler deb file? [03:30] hi to every one [03:30] hou5ton: do you have a router giving out NAT IPs (192.168.x.y) or do you have a public IP? [03:30] masen: The only applications under System -> Preferences -> Sound are "Alsa plug-in (chrome)" and "Alsa plug in (seesmic desktop". Hmmm, this implies that perhaps I should get an alsa plugin for firefox? assuming one exists? [03:30] hou5ton, If you set up the network on both ends correctly. rdesktop can. But it's slow over the internet. [03:30] installed netbook but resolution is too high hence cannot move cursor to the system icon to change resolution please help [03:30] elijah: You mean: "HFS+ tools for r/w in linux are now in the repositories. Marking as implemented." ? [03:30] mmoebius: yes [03:30] I just booted the live cd on my new laptop to make sure it runs before I install it, I have no sound, is this normal for the live cd? [03:30] I've found that RDP over internet is not so bad, better than VNC at any rate [03:31] mmoebius, I have a suse 11.3 iso laying around in here so I'll try that out. [03:31] omg I just realized Oracle VM has a Seamless mode <------- sooooo sexy lol [03:31] mmoebius, I haven't tried normal Ubuntu either [03:31] I have two desktop running the same ubuntu os and I want to connect to the other remotely as if I was in another place can any one help me through this [03:31] mmoebius: That means it should work right? [03:31] masen edbian: the addresses are dynamically assigned. Is there a product that you know of that would be fast enough to matter over the internet? [03:31] hou5ton, ssh (which is cli only) [03:31] edbian: well, they _should_ all work :( But if it was for that, this IRC channel wouldn't exist [03:32] I was going to suggest copssh for windows [03:32] its an openssh distro for cygwin that is very easy to set up if you like the command line [03:32] elijah: same as for edbian: There should be a way to do it [03:32] hou5ton, It's not that the program is poorly written. It's just that you're asking the program to stream 1024 x 768 (720p res) live in addition to all the mouse and keyboard and lower level stuff. It is just a lot of info. [03:32] mmoebius: It just seems like if I can only have permission, it should work [03:33] Lxndr: have you tried completely removing firefox and flash and reinstalling? [03:33] elijah, What are you trying to do? [03:33] it could be a config issue [03:33] elijah: can you paste the output of 'mount' alone and of 'cat /proc/filesystems' ? [03:33] masen edbian: maybe I should be more specific too ... I need to help an elderly lady manage her computer and photos, etc. .... and she is a 6 hour drive one way ... so ... [03:33] masen: I have! [03:34] does ubuntu work with those amd quad chips? [03:34] hou5ton: RDP is probably your best bet then and it's already part of windows [03:34] masen: I'm trying this (http://planet-geek.com/archives/2006/06/firefox-alsa-fl-1.html) right now. [03:34] hou5ton, Become a whiz at the term! IF you can do it graphically you can do it with the terminal with almost 0 exceptions. It just that some things (image editing comes to mind) are much much easier graphically [03:34] Lxndr: good luck, that tutorial is pretty old [03:34] hou5ton, masen [03:34] elijah: at least as the root user you'd have access. Interesting to see is if the drive got mounted r/w or ro only [03:35] hou5ton, masen's suggestion was good too [03:35] thanks all [03:35] hou5ton: Does she have an internet access ? [03:35] mmoebius: Here are both - http://typr.in/k2yg [03:35] oh yes ... a broadband connection [03:35] mmoebius: yes ... a broadband connection [03:35] elijah: That's the good one: "/dev/sda1 on /mnt/eli type hfsplus (rw,uid=1000)" [03:36] masen: I figure alsa-oss might be good to install, in any case. But thanks. === Cariyla is now known as Gerwin [03:36] the drive is r/w and at least the mount command processed the uid option. [03:36] is there a "safe" way to shut a system down that is currently doing a raid rebuild? It takes ~4-5 days to resync this raid I don't want to loose my current progress [03:36] It is mediacom cable [03:36] mmoebius: Ahh! Nice! [03:37] elijah: /proc/filesystem says that hfsplus is asupportrd type, for the -t option of mount in theis case (was a 'backup' information for me) [03:37] mmoebius: If I do kdesudo dolphin and then navigate there and try to make a new folder it is still grayed out [03:38] what's the url for the karmic repository? [03:38] elijah: can you give me the output of 'ls -ld /mnt/eli' and 'ls -la /mnt/eli | head -n3' ? [03:38] elijah: If there is no sensitive private information in it,. i mean [03:39] mmoebius: http://typr.in/j48u [03:39] masen: Well, so far no luck. [03:40] Lxndr: hmm, and using chrome isn't a viable workaround? [03:40] or you just want firefox to work [03:41] why use chrome if you can use firefox [03:41] cuz firefox doesn't have sound on Lxndr's system [03:41] hou5ton: She uses windows ? Then try ultravnc as the "server" [03:41] mmoebius: yes ... windows 7 [03:42] do you know the edition? starter, home basic, home premium, ultimate? [03:42] elijah: that *is strange* There does uid 501 and group=dialout come from ?!? [03:42] elijah: You could do 'sudo -i' [03:42] mmoebius: That better be a rhetorical question :D [03:43] elijah: then 'cd /mnt/eli' [03:43] masen: It's viable, but not necessarily preferred. [03:43] elijah: then try 'mkdir testdir' or 'touch testfile' [03:43] elijah: then see with ls -l what it gets you [03:43] mmoebius: "root@gaia-one:/mnt/eli# mkdir test > mkdir: cannot create directory `test': Read-only file system [03:44] mmoebius: I am reading this now http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2346494#post2346494 === tjgillies is now known as tylergillies [03:44] Lxndr: I've mucked my sound system on ubuntu before by playing with Jack, and I tried for about 6 hours to get pulse or alsa working again and it was totally fruitless [03:44] installed netbook but resolution is too high hence cannot move cursor to the system icon to change resolution please help [03:44] installed netbook but resolution is too high hence cannot move cursor to the system icon to change resolution please help [03:44] hou5ton: I wouldn't know if ultravnc runs on win7 as well as it does on xp, but it is quite good. I use it regularly on ~600 km with ~ 1Mbit lines. [03:44] I backed up my home dir and packages and just reinstalled [03:44] then it worked again [03:44] mmoebius: Ahh, that is old school info [03:45] elijah: I am out of clues :-( [03:45] Lxndr: did it ever work? [03:45] I guess I can make a forum post [03:45] mmoebius: I really appreciate all your effort! [03:45] i want to grep all files but don't what the wildcard is... thought it was * but no. [03:45] hello [03:45] is anyone online? [03:46] elijah: btw, between all the tests, did you a) ever unmount the drive in between and b) could you comment out any line in /etc/fstab just for testing ? [03:46] EddFace, we are online [03:46] elijah: I mean any line in /etc/fstab referring to /dev/sda1 or /mnt/eli [03:46] Oh i have a quick question if you guys dont mind... [03:46] mmoebius: I did do "umount", I found out that unmount is not a valid command [03:46] EddFace: that's why we're here [03:46] mmoebius: Sure, I can comment that out [03:47] Is there a way to make an ubuntu .iso that i can use on a laptop from an already installed OS in my friends desktop?? thanks [03:47] EddFace: if the OS is a windows variant, then yes! The main desktop iso should work for that [03:47] hou5ton: On the ubuntu side, "vinagre" is the best viewer i know [03:48] installed netbook but resolution is too high hence cannot move cursor to the system icon to change resolution please help [03:48] mmoebius: When I umount it as root it says it's busy..... not that I know of? [03:48] elijah: then if the line in /etc/fstab is gone, try umounting and mounting the disk again. [03:48] mmoebius: ok ... i'm lookign at ultravnc now ... looks like I can run it on linux and work on a windows 7 machine. [03:48] anyone know if ubuntu works on the amd quad core chips? [03:48] whats the file wildcard? eg: on windows I could do: dir *.* [03:48] what do you mean a windows variant? I want to install ubuntu on my laptop again but without having to order the CD again, and i was hoping to just like copy the desktops OS files over to my laptop [03:48] hou5ton: Is your current directory the mounteddirectory ? [03:48] brophat, It should [03:48] EddFace: just make sure you pick the right architecture, if your laptop is 64bit, then get the 64 iso. If you have x86, then get x86. You know? [03:48] elijah: Is your current directory the mounteddirectory ? [03:48] mmoebius: negative [03:48] yeah i got that theyre both 32bit [03:49] edbian i know it should, but the question is does it [03:49] Nautilus: what do you want to accomplish exactly? [03:49] brophat, :) There's only 1 way to find out for sure! [03:49] elijah: try 'fuser /mnt/eli' [03:49] jrib: grep -d 'system/files' [03:49] mmoebius: Outpit of that = "/mnt/eli/: 5577c" [03:49] edbian i am looking into buying a puter [03:49] installed netbook but resolution is too high hence cannot move cursor to the system icon to change resolution please help [03:49] jrib: I want to find all occurences of that string [03:49] i don't currently have it [03:49] EddFace: what do you mean copy the desktops OS files? [03:49] does ubuntu support a machien with 2 quad-core i7's ? [03:49] Nautilus: as in everything in /? [03:49] elijah: that tells you whil process is using files in /mnt/eli "using files" ==> fuser :-) [03:50] jrib yup [03:50] brophat, Take the live CD to the store? Ha ha ha. I think there is a website about what hardware is supported. [03:50] Nautilus: pass -r to grep and specify / as the path [03:50] mmoebius: gtk === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [03:50] elijah: that means process no. 5577 is using the drive [03:50] oh -r [03:50] mmoebius: What does 5577c mean then? [03:50] what's the url for karmics repository? [03:50] mmoebius: Hmm [03:50] elijah: try ps ax | grep 5577 to see which process it is [03:50] brophat, The processor is not going to be your problem though. It's your wifi card, and video card, and sound card. Those are the trouble makers. [03:50] brophat, The processors are all standardized. [03:50] elijah: 5577 should not have a "c" behind it [03:51] Ok, so my laptop had ubuntu on it, then it crashed, so i attempted to reformat, but it wont get past an error boot screen, so so simplify it, I want ubuntu on my laptop, my friends computer has ubuntu on it, and I want to copy his ubuntu to my laptop.. if that makes sense [03:51] hmm ok thnks i will take a live cd to store [03:51] mmoebius: "5577 pts/2 S 0:00 -bash [03:51] 5660 pts/2 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto 5577 [03:51] elijah: PID numbers are only plain numbers [03:51] so i have a question that, though it applies to linux mint, is a general linux question -- i want to boot mint using the normal video drivers (vesa, or whatever) instead of nvidia's drivers [03:51] since all i get is a black screen on boot [03:51] elijah: then your current shell (or any other shell) is in /mnt/eli directory [03:51] EddFace, What's special about his? [03:51] EddFace: ohhh. all you have to do is download the .iso from ubuntu.com and then right click it and open with brasero to burn a new ubuntu installer [03:52] elijah: you could kill the shell ... btw, you still are in the 'sudo -i' , right ? [03:52] mmoebius: I am retarded, yeah, it is me [03:52] any tips on getting rid of this god forsaken video tearing that has plagued my ubuntu systems since I got hooked on it in 2006? Currently on an nvidia 9600GT. even with compiz off, it happens. vsync to blank is as useful as windows vista. Any other tips? [03:52] Well yeah i was just wondering if there was a way to do it without having to download the iso, it takes me a really long time to download files and i need my laptop by tommorrow [03:52] but if theres no way thats ok [03:52] elijah: Quit the 'sudo -i' ;-) [03:53] mmoebius: How do you quit sudo? [03:53] elijah, ctrl + c [03:53] elijah: 'logout' is the safest thing. Actually, you leave the bash that got invoked by sudo :-) [03:53] EddFace: there is probably a way, but it probably take longer to figure out that downloading the iso... does your friend not still have his ubuntu cd? [03:53] mmoebius: Worked! [03:54] mmoebius: K, I umounted fine [03:54] edbian: ctrl+d would be the thing, but that can fail if one is not at a new line [03:54] mmoebius: Now would I do mount -t hfsplus [03:54] edbian: so, logging out is rather ctrl-c ctrl-c ctrl-c ctrl-c ctrl-d ... and that can still fail. [03:54] No he doesnt anymore, he lost it a while back... but if there is a guide or something you guys can point me to that would be awesome [03:54] elijah: no, the long mount line [03:54] mmoebius, ahhh [03:55] mmoebius, Well I'm giving up on the netbook tonight. [03:55] elijah: mount -t hfsplus -o uid=1000 /dev/sda1 /mnt/eli [03:55] Hi all. How do I permanently mount a new hard drive? What do I have to add to the /etc/fstab file? [03:55] mmoebius, I don't know what to think anymore! suse, systemRescueCD, ubuntu minimum installer all don't work :( [03:55] mmoebius: The command worked [03:55] EddFace: i can't help you there, sorry. it would be difficult without live cds and a strong working knowledge of df, etc [03:56] mmoebius: How do I tell if it mounted in cli, not dolphin? [03:56] well alright [03:56] thanks anyways [03:56] elijah: then try ls -la /mnt/eli | head -n3 to see who "owns" the files this time [03:56] can anyone help me change my video drivers from nvidia to vesa using a livecd? [03:57] mmoebius: still 501 and dialout [03:57] elementzero, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:57] it doesn't exist :-/ [03:57] edbian: It all depends on crazyness. If in a total pinch, go for gentoo. Putre manual installation [03:57] and i made it anyway [03:57] and it's still a black screen [03:57] mmoebius: mount still says r/w, uid=1000 [03:57] elementzero, you might need to mount the drive first [03:57] mmoebius: it appears that things like GoToMyPC are downloaded on the computer I want to work on, and I connect through a third party access? [03:58] In addition, I cannot post a new thread on Ubuntu forums, my account is locked. [03:58] this is on mint 9 xfce [03:58] elijah: there is something b0rked. seriously b0rked. I am out of clues [03:58] elementzero, join #mint ? [03:58] i'll try mounting the drive [03:58] test34: they had no idea. and in anycase i'm downloading ubuntu right now :) [03:59] mmoebius: Okay, I will post in forums. I just realized I was trying to post in archived forum [03:59] hou5ton: there are serveral such "redirectors" the usual problem is that the people who need help are on a dialup, often behind a firewall or nat [03:59] installed netbook but resolution is too high hence cannot move cursor to the system icon to change resolution please help [03:59] well you can't expect to edit files on a drive that's not mounted. once you mount the drive it will be straightforward [03:59] i probably shouldn't have installed the nvidia drivers in retrospect, seeing as that i have optimus drivers [03:59] and afaik, optimus is not at all working with linux, yet [03:59] mmoebius: Gonna do that tomorrow night though, appreciate your help greatly! [03:59] elijah: Don't give up. It'll work some day. HPFSplus r/w is just a 6 month old "baby" [03:59] elijah: You're welcome :-) [03:59] elementzero, the nvidia driver works fine with me [04:00] with optimus? [04:00] hou5ton: What i have used sucessfully in ugly situations is "reverse connection" and the ultravnc single click exe [04:00] mmoebius: I believe! I want to write more than just "It's broke please help me fix it" in my forum thread so I will do that with a fresh head. [04:00] right now i'm installing xubuntu over mint [04:00] elementzero, I probably use the official one [04:00] if that doesn't work, i'll try ubuntu and just replace gnome with xfce [04:00] elementzero, it is only available as a binary [04:00] mmoebius: yes ... I'm reading about ultravnc now [04:01] hou5ton: It all depends on the setup and the network (routers, firewalls etc) can you outline the exact setup from your pc to the lady's machine ? [04:01] I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and it is very slow to login... I see the wallpaper but it takes one minute to bring AWN and the panels [04:01] elementzero, try xubuntu, it comes with xfce [04:01] http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-256.53-driver.html [04:01] these? [04:01] blazer1980: specs? [04:01] are xeon and i7's interchangebale for motherboard slots? [04:02] mmoebius: On my end ... I would be going through a router and then a modem ... and on her end her system is connected directly to the mediacom modem [04:02] Hi all. How do I permanently mount a new hard drive? What do I have to add to the /etc/fstab file? [04:02] hou5ton: you are in a very good position then [04:02] hou5ton: then her machine has a publicly adressable ip. Hopefully she's got a personal firewall installed [04:02] the download at the ubuntu site is too long [04:03] wouldn't the personal firewall ask to block/unblock when ultra first starts [04:03] masen: I am using linux version 2.6.32-24 generic [04:03] blazer1980: system specs? [04:03] I'm trying to download (streaming?) videos with firefox from the website "livestream.com" They're each over an hour long so I'd rather not have to wait to play each one then sift through /tmp once they've played. The "videodownloadhelper" extension is of no use & the video isn't in Tools - Page Info - Media either. Any ideas on how I can download this type of media? [04:03] hou5ton: In theory you can then use ultravnc in the standard mode. The server, serving her screen to you is listening for connections. Use a secure password (use e.g. 'pwgen 15' [04:03] mmoebius: masen: not sure about the personal firewall ... I need to check that, but I am pretty sure she does ... and I know that mediacom has a dynamic ip, not a static one [04:03] ) [04:04] dynamic IP is easily addressed with something like dyndns.org [04:04] hou5ton: Then you'll want to install a dynamic dns service like (I just don't know better) dyndns [04:04] masen: Thinkpad X60s, 2GB memory, 100GB harddrive, /home, /boot on separate partition [04:05] hou5ton: and you' ll have to open her firewall for outside conenctions to ultravnc. Better choose a non-default poirt isf you can [04:05] supposedly a windows program called replay media catcher would do it, but I only have Linux. [04:05] blazer1980: was it previously fast, or has it always been slow since installation? [04:05] installed netbook but resolution is too high hence cannot move cursor to the system icon to change resolution please help [04:05] isn't there a torrent site for it? [04:05] download says it will take one day and 6 hours to download [04:05] hou5ton: Then , you can connect with ultravnc e.g. to elderlady.dyndns.org::5966 and there it goes [04:05] any faster ways? [04:06] test34: figured out how to mount the filesystem and the xorg.conf was there. i was looking at my live cd. [04:06] test34: anyways, i'm going to install xubuntu and see if the nvidia drivers work these [04:06] *if they work there [04:06] hou5ton: A "nicer" solution would be if you installed an openvpn between you and her. Also for privacy's sake as ultravnc in itself is not encrypted [04:06] masen: It was very fast before but gradually started to get slower. There is also no sound when it logs in although login sound is enabled. Could it be the AWN? [04:06] brophat: try a mirror closer to you - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors [04:07] elementzero, good luck, but they should [04:07] thanks [04:07] mmoebius: I could easily have something installed on her system [04:07] masen i am at that page but there is no 10.4 available there [04:07] hey guys. having an issue installing phpmyadmin. i'm using apt-get install php myadmin and getting this back: The following packages have unmet dependencies: phpmyadmin: Depends: php5-mcrypt but it is not installable E: Broken packages [04:07] hou5ton: Onb the other hand, if you have a static ip and can open a port on your and and happen to have a static ip, the "reverse" connection would be easier to do [04:08] blazer1980: quite possibly, try disabling it on startup and see if you notice a difference [04:08] what's the url for karmic koala's main repository? [04:08] brophat: scroll down and find a mirror closer to you (near bottom on page) and click it, 10.4 will be listed on that page [04:08] okaha [04:09] hou5ton: Oh, and please inform her of the privavcy issues included. That if the ultravnc icon turns green(?) then you are watching her screen [04:09] ok [04:09] masen: thanks so much, let me try that and I will be back [04:09] is it possible to program a button on my mouse to operate my music player rhythmbox [04:09] ?* [04:09] RealOpty, yes [04:10] ok. where do i start? [04:10] hou5ton: do you have anything like a static ip or a dydndns service set up at your machine ? [04:10] I'm not sure [04:10] test34, maybe xorg.conf or something [04:10] mmoebius: I'm not sure [04:10] maybe hotplug? [04:10] idk [04:11] hou5ton: If i think about it, I'd rather want to set up an openvpn if possible. That also eliminates the problems with finding the right ips :-) [04:11] I'm having a problem with 301 redirects and wonder where I can look that would do that to more than one vhost [04:11] WXZ: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/ [04:11] hou5ton: But pof yourse this adds another layer of complexety and possible breakage :-( [04:11] thanks masen [04:12] mmoebius: yes [04:12] mmoebius: it's easy to see why GoToMyPC is so popular. :-) [04:12] WXZ: here's the default /etc/apt/sources.list file, http://ubuntu-for-humans.blogspot.com/2010/02/default-repositories-list-in-ubuntu-910.html [04:12] ok much better thanks masen bahahahahahaha [04:12] hou5ton: It also depends on the level of privacy needed. If she's reviewing e.g. an employers photographs or something nobody else should see ever, encryption is a must [04:13] is it just a pattern? [04:13] 19 mins vs 1 day 6 hours bwahahahahahahaha [04:13] RealOpty, can't find it right now but I know it's possible [04:13] like deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted, deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted, deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted etc.? [04:13] WXZ: yes that's how it goes [04:13] there's more info on the ubuntu wiki [04:13] hou5ton: The thing with GoToMyPC and (team..viewer(?)) is that the compyny in the middle can watch your screens, too [04:13] well that's useful [04:14] test34, ok ill google it later. if u come across the info plz pm me. [04:14] hey guys. having an issue installing phpmyadmin. i'm using apt-get install php myadmin and getting this back: The following packages have unmet dependencies: phpmyadmin: Depends: php5-mcrypt but it is not installable E: Broken packages [04:14] mmoebius: yes .... and I'm willing to learn here ... but for $15/month they take care of any problems ... just click and go [04:15] hou5ton: If you can setup your end properly (open pert etc) UltraVNC Single click is easiest, best controlled and almost sure-fire http://www.uvnc.com/addons/singleclick.html === zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy [04:15] mmoebius: ok ... I'm bookmarking that and will learn to use it [04:17] question: does it matter if i do a logical or a primary partition install? [04:17] hou5ton: You could setup the dyndns service for you and the nyou'll need a port forwarding in your router to get through to your pc. Also, ther the firewall (if any) has to be disabled for the "incoming port". [04:18] how do i stop services like ssh, vsftpd, etc? [04:18] i have one hdd, right now it has 3 partitions -- two for Windows (windows 7 made a 100mb partition for system files of some kind), one 30gb partition, and now ubuntu will need to make another two, one for the os and one for swap [04:18] hou5ton: You can setup the free http://www.dyndns.com service no matter what and always have the lady connect her screen to the right computer (yours) even if you hav e.g. t oswitch the ISP) [04:19] clear [04:20] bye bye [04:20] mmoebius: is that the sort of thing pro's use in managing multiple remote systems, or do they just buy software to do connect for them? === mmoebius is now known as mmoebius_afk [04:20] hou5ton: I manage ca. 40 remote systems with ultravnc === mmoebius_afk is now known as mmoebius [04:20] salel [04:21] hou5ton: so, "pro" is maybe not the right term for me but I am somewhat close :-) [04:21] mmoebius: got it. :-) [04:21] hou5ton: And there's nothing better than a free openvpn tunnel to customers/freiewnds etc. [04:22] hou5ton: so, you learn it once and then deploy it mayny times for free or ... well, you pay each and every time. "Tradeoff" is the word :-P [04:22] hou5ton: I assume u are from US ? [04:23] mmoebius: yep ... central Missouri [04:23] How do I remove a hard drive from having an MBR ? [04:23] hou5ton:Do you happen t know Linksys WRT54g routers ? [04:23] mmoebius: I have a Linksys router ... not sure what model [04:23] hhassey, service vsftpd stop i think [04:23] I had ubuntu on Drive A, purchased Drive B .... put in Drive B as primary, Drive A is now secondary... but Drive A still has MBR so it thinks I have two OS' [04:24] hou5ton: Cisco Management (in the US) still dosn't understand why the WRT54g became a big hit in European markets. Because it's open and peopla cann roll their own software. [04:24] CrazyTux, did you install an OS on drive B [04:26] hello. any howtos to help set up a development environment in an intranet - like one that integrates a version control system like svn, mantis (or any other bug tracking system), commits to svn tracked against the bug tracking system, etc as well as some sort of project management and reporting stuff? [04:26] hou5ton: It's a philosophy thing. And e.g. cisco doesn't understand (much) why the free stuff is cool. And it even pays off because with the free router you can run e.g. openvpn instead of having to license a "preofessional" Office Router with VPN from cisco. Saving costs, licenses and everything [04:27] mmoebius: sounds good ... I prefer opensource aps when practical [04:27] CrazyTux: Nom, yaour computer just boots from the 2nd drive [04:27] ivanchuk that's a tall order [04:28] ivanchuk have a look at trac, and fossil. i'm not sure those have 100% of what you're looking for but they are each nicely integrated projects [04:28] hou5ton: if you want to run linux on a router, check out e.g. http://www.freewrt.org/ or (if bigger) the stuff from http://www.routerboard.com/ [04:28] roygbiv: heh, i know. we are a small group in a small office, but we use all those tools, but they are not integrated. atleast tehre's no project management part. just use svn and bugzilla. something that is more compact would be great. [04:28] frenchy: yea ubuntu is on Drive B [04:28] roygbiv: will, thanks. [04:28] frenchy: I installed it on my new SSD drive [04:29] fossil is really something IMO [04:29] let me check [04:29] but it has no integrated project management tools, beyond a built in wiki [04:29] CrazyTux, so what purpose is the old drive serving? [04:29] frenchy: backup drive [04:29] fossil-scm.org [04:29] I have tried sudo stop vsftpd [04:29] and works [04:29] frenchy: I want it completely empty, and I already formated it... but it is still holding onto the MBR? [04:29] for some reason [04:29] but will it be enabled on next boot in? [04:29] roygbiv: yeah, looking at that already. gforge was good too, but never got to play with their enterprise version. [04:29] s/want/ it is / [04:30] CrazyEddy, did you format it after you install ubuntu on the new drive? [04:31] frenchy: yes [04:31] i have a 301 redirect happening and I can't figure out why, is someone around that would help me debug? [04:31] CrazyTux: How did you "format" the drive ? [04:32] CrazyEddy, theres prolly just a grub entry still there, i doubt it still has any MBR info, just delete the grub entry [04:32] Nautilus: What url ? [04:32] mmoebius: its local [04:32] if you're using a solid state drive; what partations should be in solid sate? [04:33] Nautilus: so, local like "intranet" or liike "file" ? [04:33] mmoebius: I used the ubuntu disk utility [04:33] mmoebius: gtk stuff [04:33] Hi [04:33] CrazyTux, did you create a new file system on it? [04:33] frenchy: yes ext4 [04:33] Have anyone tried to use Ubuntu one Cloud? [04:34] CrazyTux, just delete the grub entry for it [04:34] mmoebius: hrm, its a ubuntu PC for web dev, using vhosts for each site then an entry in hosts to see the assigned domain name. [04:34] CrazyTux: sorry, don't know that. I am lurkiong around on lower levels usuallly :-( [04:34] frenchy: for some reason it is also /dev/sda still? [04:34] frenchy: shouldnt it be /dev/sdc being the 3rd? [04:34] I signed up in the web but I cannot get it connected to my box [04:34] CrazyTux, what do you mean [04:34] frenchy: this old drive is in my 3rd SATA spot [04:34] E: Malformed line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) [04:35] Nautilus: Ok,then you hget the 301 from one of the web servers you queried, most likely. Waht server is running and do you have log/debug opoutput from that server ? [04:35] CrazyTux, what is the new hd listed as? [04:35] frenchy: sdb, and sdc (I bought two of them) the Ubuntu OS is on sdb [04:35] frenchy: but physically it is in the SATA port 1 for sdb so shouldnt it be SDA? [04:35] I have downloaded the eclipse for C++ from the software' prog, when I try a simple Hello World project, I get the "Launch failed. Binary not found" [04:35] why ? [04:36] server? apache2. I made about 10 of these before, then I made one where I was experimenting with redirection within a subfolder, now any site I create does the redirect even to the base url. [04:36] I have just installed ArtistX. It has a great look to it, unfortunatly the astetics cause visiual imparement for me when I use Firefox. How can I change the color scheme in Firefox? [04:36] frenchy: CrazyTux: Do you maybe have an empty disk but only two entries in grub ? try 'update-grub', then reboot [04:36] CrazyTux, im not sure how dev ids get chosen, but if the old drive was there before it probably just didnt change, if you really created a new filesystem on i doubt there is any MBR info and it should be safe just to remove the grub entry for it [04:37] is there a program that will allow me to import playlists from itunes on my windows partition? [04:37] frenchy: yea there is definitely nothing on the old drive [04:37] frenchy: its been formated several times in attempt to get rid of the MBR entry. [04:37] mmoebius: Oops i responded above, without your nick [04:38] Nautilus: can you please .... nick ... ok... got it [04:38] frenchy: where is the physical file to update? I dont see anything in /boot/grub/grub.conf or /etc/default/grub [04:38] CrazyTux, its probably just a grub entry that was left, you could try reinstalling grub [04:38] frenchy: here let me reboot, will only take 1 minute [04:38] at05gt aren't itunes playlists in a standard format? you can probably just copy the playlist files straight to your ubuntu partition [04:38] CrazyTux, you might have to do some research [04:38] m3u or pls most likely ya? [04:38] Nautilus: If you (temporarily) remove all redirect statements from the server's config. does it still throw a 301 ? [04:38] i believe so yes [04:39] Nautilus: you should take a look at the server's access log (waht the server thinks what you asked ist for) [04:39] i have gotten rid of the redirect test I did. I have even grepped for the string, not in /etc anywhere [04:39] mmoebius: I just see the rewritten url in the log [04:39] hi. could somebody tell me how to bring back system menu on the menu in ubontu 10.04 netbook? [04:39] Nautilus: And then you should make a hard guess as to which parts of your config fit that request and which don't [04:39] i deleted it in menu editor [04:39] frenchy: ok im back [04:39] roygbiv: ill take a look thanks, im not usin rhythmbox cause it doesnt have an EQ built in, so im using exaile it it messes up my ID3 tags [04:40] CrazyTux, are you on 10.04? [04:40] frenchy: yes [04:40] Nautilus: User wireshark to get the url the server has been asked for [04:40] wget show it to me [04:40] CrazyEddy, it uses grub 2 and its more complicated than grub 1 you might need to do some research [04:41] Nautilus: Is thera a redirect possible in a .htaccess file (I'm not sure if that's possible) [04:41] ? [04:41] how to edit menu when menu editor is no longer on the screen? [04:41] mmoebius: yea, thats where I was doing it, but that folder is gone now. Hold on, making a paste of the wget [04:41] frenchy: http://cryy.com/images/MBR-Screenshot.png [04:42] Nautilus: attach a part of the log file too, please [04:42] that's a massive monitor, CrazyEddy [04:42] erl CrazyTux [04:42] ivanchuk: dual 24" [04:42] CrazyTux: and i am looking at it on a 15" :) [04:43] ;o) [04:43] mmoebius: heres the wget: http://pastebin.com/4hYTYpP6 [04:43] CrazyTux, what is this supposed to show me? [04:44] that he has 26GB swap! [04:44] frenchy: http://cryy.com/images/MBR-Screenshot2.png [04:44] frenchy: this is the view of the other drive [04:44] frenchy: see how they both say Partitiong: Master Boot Record? [04:44] Nautilus: i guess system/files/private/hydroplanepurple/htdocs or parts of it are not in the config, nowhere ? [04:45] I have downloaded the eclipse for C++ from the software' prog, when I try a simple Hello World project, I get the "Launch failed. Binary not found" [04:45] roygbiv: only thing ive found off my windows partition is the XML file for my entire library [04:45] is that still xml? i thought apple switched to sqlite for that [04:45] CrazyEddy, my external HD says that. i would assume all HDs say that, when you boot up does it ask you to choose an alternate OS? [04:45] Inazad: did the project compile ? [04:46] hmm how to know ? [04:46] I'm new to Eclipse [04:46] mmoebius: the vhost has DocumentRoot /home/myname/sites/hydroplanepurple/htdocs [04:46] frenchy: yes... it does until I edited /etc/default/grub (to ONLY pick the 1st one automatically) [04:46] frenchy: and not show me that screen [04:46] roygbiv: im trying to open it with open office gimme a sec [04:46] Inazad: try Ctrl-B [04:46] can someone help with this registration process? [04:46] could somebody help? i removed system icon from the main menu and now i can't edit icons on the menu? how to bring it back or how to run main menu? [04:46] CrazyTux, im pretty sure there is not bootloader installed on that drive just a leftover grub entry [04:46] mmoebius, I have an error like : "make: ***[src/Hello world.o] Error 127 [04:47] frenchy: so I just need to read up on Grub2 and remove it [04:47] I somehow destroyed my sources.list file [04:47] I assume [04:47] how do I fix it? [04:47] roygbiv: oh screw that crap, its a full parse of the entire library in code [04:47] Inazad: Then your c-code ist wrong. fix it, recompile and when that finishes without error, run the program [04:47] no way ill get playlist data off that [04:47] my start-up and close-down screen seem to have the wrong resolution, any ideas how to make it look good? It's a 1680x1050 and it works when I use Ubuntu on another PC, same monitor [04:47] I think it doesn't found g++ [04:47] CrazyTux, if it bothers you that much then yeah, i dont know why they changed grub so much, there are a lot more files now [04:48] bin/sh: g++: not found [04:48] does anybody know where itunes saves its playlist files on a windows partition? [04:48] frenchy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Removing%20Entries%20from%20Grub%202 found it [04:48] frenchy: so looks like your right, just stupid entries. [04:49] Nautilus: can you please grep like 'grep -inr "system/files/private" /path/to/apache/config/directory' [04:49] frenchy: well the reason it originally bothered me until I found the "skip it fix" is because my keyboard I use does not respond @ Bios or at Grub selection [04:49] frenchy: so I would have to sit there and wait. [04:49] how to run main menu editor from terminal? [04:50] mmoebius: thats in /etc, right? [04:50] CrazyTux, from what youre telling me thats what it sounds like, creating a new FS on a drive should wipe everything out [04:51] mmoebius, see the error ? [04:51] CrazyTux, i recently looked into editing grub entries in Grub2 and it gave me a headache [04:51] /etc [04:51] frenchy: haha [04:51] Nautilus: the folder where your apache config resides. How in all heavens do you configure your apache ? [04:51] kristiina, gconf-editor [04:51] well i do it in /etc/apache2/sites-available [04:51] Inazad: You mean "error 127" ? [04:52] mmoebius, I think it doesn't find the g++ [04:52] CrazyTux, im sure they had reasons for the drastic changes but i dont like them! [04:52] mmoebius: but those are just my vhosts [04:52] roygbiv: and then what should i do? i want to enable system icon on the main menu so i can edit icon on the menu? [04:52] mmoebius: the string is not found within /etc (using -inr) [04:53] frenchy: yea ;o) [04:53] CrazyTux, i think they changed the way it sees devices too, like grub 1 would be hd0,0 for sda1 but grub2 it would be hd0,1 [04:53] Nautilus: Before any debugging can take place, you must know where the config of the running apache process comes from. If it's ... was that a vhost or vservers ? [04:53] roygbiv: ya man all i found was the XML file no M3U or PLS's, im at a lose here cause ive got some nice PL's i made on itunes and i really dont wanna load up my windows partition cause it takes like 20 minutes to log into it [04:54] Vista Blows, that is all. [04:54] Inazad: you have ubuntu 10.04 ? [04:54] yes [04:54] mmoebius: I have a set of files in /etc/apache2/sites-available that use and a few directives, not sure of the exact terminology, just know I copy them and change the DocumentRoot and ServerName [04:54] Inazad: try 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' [04:55] Hi, I recenetly installed ubuntu 9.04 and selected it to be installed on a second partition. I then decided that I didn't want it on its own partition and rather installed inside my current os(win7). Now i get a grub 22 error on boot, and can't access win7. I tried to run the dvd for win7 using the recovery tools but it tells me that i don't have an OS isntalled. Can anyone assist me with this please? Thanks in advance. [04:55] you should never install linux and windows on the same partition [04:55] mmoebius, already done [04:55] there like 2 dogs circling each other in a park [04:55] Nautilus: Oh, so you haven't made up the system ? Then you will have a hard time :-( [04:55] mmoebius, I get the same error [04:55] made up the system?? [04:56] don't understand damn [04:56] xbonesx: What did you do exactly? [04:56] Nautilus: made up the system for copy-and pasting vhosts :-) Well, you'll have to understand the configuration or you cannot debug it. The abpache library is big and comprehensive [04:56] sebsebseb: PM please? [04:57] Inazad: what does 'which g++' give you ? [04:57] xbonesx: Why? [04:57] xbonesx: you've busted youve box sorry [04:57] usr/bin/g++ [04:57] mmoebius: whats to make up re: copying a file? [04:57] xbonesx: never install 2 OS on the same partition, they fight it out and one will lose [04:57] sebsebseb: so i dont have to deal with others comments ^^^ [04:58] mmoebius: the system/files/private string is NOT in my setup [04:58] xbonesx: yeah ok since, people here are making silly comments and such [04:58] the folder where I extract eclipse is on the desktop [04:58] sebsebseb: how was my comment sil.......... nevermind [04:58] at05gt: Ubuntu has an option to be installed within windows and its given a boot option on startup. [04:58] xbonesx: plus I know partition stuff well :) [04:58] at05gt: not so much yours, but someone else [04:58] Nautilus: that is strange because apache seems to pull it from somewhere. [04:58] but i didn't take that route [04:58] xbonesx: its still not wise to install 2 OS on the SAME partition [04:58] Nautilus: Did apache get srestarted recently ? [04:59] at05gt: thats not even possible I guess [04:59] originally i didnt that is why im having this issue [04:59] at05gt: since one will wipe over the other? [04:59] mmoebius: exactly! Thats my problem. It's like its cached [04:59] at05gt: unless its Wubi of course [04:59] mmoebius: I've restarted it many times over a few days trying to figure this out [04:59] reboots too [04:59] sebsebseb: they either wipe over each other or youll get massive errors as they overwrite each others system files [04:59] I installed on a second partition and then deleted it, and now grub gives error 22. [04:59] Inazad: 'which' gave you the location for g++ that means it is installed and in the path, so g++ can be found and is useable. I am sorry but don't know what the error could be [05:00] xbonesx: installed what on a second partition Ubuntu? [05:00] mmoebius: any new VirtualHost I make has this problem. The ones I made before I experimented with Rewrite in an .htaccess file still work properly [05:00] sebsebseb: Yes [05:00] xbonesx: your most likely going to have to repair or reinstall both OS, on separate partitions [05:00] where is the "server box" im supposed to type in for registration? [05:00] at05gt: Win7 is still active and i can access it if i boot hirens bootcd [05:00] Nautilus: then start it with a no-vhost config file that uses a different document root for testing purposes. Ther you put nothing. Get a 404 error to test :-) [05:00] xbonesx: ok was Ubuntu on there before at all? [05:01] and hirens gives me an option to boot win7 [05:01] damn [05:01] xbonesx: and whats this boot cd? [05:01] sebsebseb: on win7 partition, no. on a second partition i created yes. [05:01] xbonesx: ya i dont know about win 7, what does it do when you try to boot win 7? and what os are you inside right now? [05:01] xbonesx: ok why were you putting it on again? [05:01] mmoebius: not completely sure what you mean. [05:01] xbonesx: and no you can't just put it on a Windows 7 partition, whilst keeping it there [05:02] at05gt: I'm on live cd at the moment. [05:02] Nautilus: Are the virtualhost's matched ? e.g. is it the right virtualhost that gest executed ? Is it http or do you try https ? [05:02] xbonesx: plus Ubuntu isn't even meant to be instaled onto Windows file systems [05:02] xbonesx: ok live cd perfect [05:02] xbonesx: does 7 boot at all? [05:02] xbonesx: show us gparted [05:02] xbonesx: system > administration > partitition editor [05:02] !screenshot | xbonesx [05:02] xbonesx: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [05:02] frenchy: thanks for the help by the way! [05:02] ok scratch what i want to do once i get win7 working again, i just need to figure out how to edit the grub so it will se my win7 OS [05:02] good night all. [05:03] xbonesx: Windows 7 might be gone or something, lets find out, show the partitions :) [05:03] I cant take a screen shot of the boot screen... [05:03] any package read epub? mobi? [05:03] one sec [05:03] xbonesx: you can of gparted on a live cd? [05:03] mmoebius: should be right virtualhost, pretty simple setup. I dont use http:// or https:// in the ServName, if thats what you mean. Just dev.example.com. Oh and FWIW 'localhost' in the browser works right ("It Works!") [05:03] xbonesx: I thought I read that you were on t he live cd? [05:03] :) [05:03] gparted, ok one sec [05:03] xbonesx: if anyboy can help you solve this problem its the super nerds in this channel [05:03] at05gt: I don't know about you, but I done loads of partition stuff and with other people [05:04] sory offtopic but super nerds it's the first time i hear [05:04] Nautilus: stop apache. become root and run it by hand: apache2 -f /a/simple/config/file and then you have something to test [05:04] sebsebseb: ya im not that knowledgable, i do know that installing 2 os on the same partition is bad mojo :) [05:05] sebsebseb: how do i start gpart UI [05:05] hey wich is the ubuntu channel??? [05:05] xbonesx: so on the Live CD [05:05] Nautilus: You know that if e.g. you use https://, you cannot use virtualhosts anymore because of the certificates ? [05:05] cant find it ans syntac says its installed [05:05] mmoebius: what goes in the config file? [05:05] xbonesx: in the live session. system > administration > partition editor [05:05] sorry the spanish [05:05] what app should I use to do a mass file rename in ubuntu 10.04? [05:05] sebseseb: i went a step further then just parts and installed Ub on a separate drive lol [05:05] i dont use https://. [05:05] !es > thecdggseries [05:05] thecdggseries, please see my private message [05:05] is there a way to "select best server" from a minimal install? [05:06] avg_guy: command line or desktop? [05:07] desktop would be more like it but if c/l is better i take it [05:07] mmoebius: How to stop apache? "apache2 -k stop" tells me "bad user name..." [05:07] howdy [05:07] xbonesx: found it? [05:07] What is a good music player [05:07] sebsebseb: http://i52.tinypic.com/8wwfq1.png [05:07] to use [05:07] Kendalja: Rythombox which is default, or Banshee [05:08] Banshee [05:08] Nautilus: how about 'sudo service httpd stop' ? [05:08] the 20gb used to be the ubuntu partiton but i delted it [05:08] and yeah Amarok even for those that don't mind installing KDE stuff, I guess [05:08] avg_guy: I have used the rename command explained here http://tips.webdesign10.com/how-to-bulk-rename-files-in-linux-in-the-terminal but not the GUI packages [05:08] Nautilus: I don't run apache on ubunt, so i miss out some ubuntu specicific details [05:09] mmoebius: service: command not found [05:09] Nautilus, have you tried service apache stop [05:09] sebsebseb: and like i said i can boot win7 if i boot my hirens bootusb device and select an option from it that says something about loading win7. [05:09] xbonesx: ok no Ubuntu on there at all, only Windows partitions [05:09] Nautilus: what os ? [05:09] xbonesx: and yes without [05:09] Hey guys, I'm currently developing an app in PyGTK, and I think somehow my code using pynotify messed up my OSD notify. I used pynotify to send many OSD notify messages, but I think there's some sort of bug in OSD-Notify. I already tried killall osd-notify.. what else can I do [05:09] sebsebseb: correct [05:10] xbonesx: an Ubuntu partition you won't have the /boot where Grub is installed [05:10] mmoebius: erm, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS [05:10] on another after a right click write to disk it never ejects the disk I have to do it manually is there a reason for this [05:10] xbonesx: except for the tiny bit of Grub that goes on your MBR Master Boot Record, and so yes Windows won't boot up either [05:10] now to enable system icon from main menu in gconf-editor in ubuntu 10.04 netbook ed? [05:10] sebsebseb: i need to edit the MBR [05:10] xbonesx: not quite [05:10] Nautilus: oh, ubuntu "stale" :-P Nevermind ;-) That's fine with me [05:10] sebsebseb:? [05:10] xbonesx: if you re install Ubuntu, the MBR will be sorted out [05:11] In the first installation of Ubuntu the USpash has a good resolution. But after updating the resolution changed and became larger. How can I change the USplash resolution? [05:11] Nautilus: try 'sudo /etc/init.d/httpd stop' [05:11] mmoebius: yea an upgrade fubar'd it so I went back [05:11] sebsebseb: figured that but i dont want linux on a seperate partition [05:11] xbonesx: why not? [05:11] Nautilus: or 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache stop' ... or something like that. === digitaltao-lab is now known as digitaltao-party [05:11] mmoebius: yea that was it (the second one) [05:11] sebsebseb: cuz there is an option to create it inside windows and i have used that before, but today i decide to test out the operating speed if installed via seperate partition. [05:11] mmoebius: now i need to become root? [05:12] (how?) [05:12] xbonesx: yes there is Wubi, but a proper partitiond install is much better in the long run [05:12] xbonesx: plus think about it, what if Windows messes up enough? well so will Ubuntu [05:12] sebsebseb: Ya that's what a couple websites said thats why i tried it [05:12] xbonesx: if you use Wubi [05:12] xbonesx: and then you removed it why? [05:13] sebsebseb: Because the change to the MBR made it to where ubuntu was default loaded if not present at boot and i want it to be win7 [05:13] mmoebius: "become: command not found" (chuckle... just dont know how) [05:13] xbonesx: ok that was a bit of a silly reason to remove it, because you can change it so Windows is the default boot [05:13] sebsebseb: im not to familiar with linux, i paniced [05:14] Nautilus: you should be able to run 'sudo su' [05:14] chrowe: got it, thanks [05:14] sebsebseb: so i can reisntalled the ubuntu on that second partition then edit the MBR? [05:14] sebsebseb: so that win7 is default? [05:14] xbonesx: you edit Grub 2, when it is re installed, if you want Windows to be default boot [05:15] mmoebius: now I need a simple config file which you believe suits the need [05:15] hey guys, has anyone upgraded to the beta of the newest version? [05:15] sebsebseb: from what i read on the net, ubuntu 9.04 runs grub one and is updated to grub2 without acknowledgement... [05:15] xbonesx: as for how to do that, I can no probelm with the old version, not so sure about Grub 2, theres a good page on the Ubuntu website about it, plus people can help from the channel anyway if neassery [05:15] getting an error sudo timestamp too far in the future. Have tried a few things i found online, but the problem comes back after reboot [05:16] sebsebseb: so do you know how to mess with grub1? [05:16] xbonesx: right, but not much point putting 9.04 on now, even though its a pretty good release, it is on the verge of not being supported anymore [05:16] xbonesx: has until the end of next month when it comes to support and thats it [05:16] sebsebseb: ya i know, 10.?? something is out right? [05:17] xbonesx: yep 10.04 is the current latest thats also Long Term Support [05:17] !lts | xbonesx [05:17] xbonesx: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [05:17] !lts [05:17] and 8.04 [05:17] xbonesx: and 10.10 is on the verge of coming out, that will be Sunday October 10th, doesn't offer that much advantage over 10.04 though when it comes to the desktop version, from what I have seen, but might be worth the upgrade, when its time [05:17] sebsebseb: ok i will download it but for now i need to get that MBR fixed so i can boot win7 [05:18] mmoebius: did I lose ya? :( [05:18] xbonesx: uhmm got another computer? [05:18] Nautilus: no [05:18] sebsebseb: yes [05:18] Nautilus: hang on a second. [05:18] someone here know how to install eclipse for C++ and its working ? [05:18] mmoebius: np! thanks :) [05:18] xbonesx: after you hve re installed Ubuntu, Windows 7 will boot as well [05:18] Nautilus: I'm workin on the minimum thet still works [05:19] sebsebseb: correct but then i need to set it up so that win7 is default load if not present [05:19] mmoebius: ah, sweet [05:19] !grub2 | xbonesx [05:19] xbonesx: 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 [05:19] Nautilus: you could prepare an empty directory [05:19] xbonesx couldn't you edit the GRUB file? [05:19] ok [05:19] sebsebseb: when 10.10 comes out can you upgrade 10.04 to it or do you have to install the new version? [05:19] at05gt: 10.04 will be set up by default to only upgrade to an LTS, but it can be changed to do standard versions [05:19] smanning192: idk can i? [05:20] sebsebseb: LTS? [05:20] !lts | at05gt [05:20] at05gt: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [05:20] at05gt: where as stanard versions such as what 10.10 will be, are only supported 18 months [05:20] brb going to review that link.... [05:20] sebsebseb, I love the volume/rhythmbox integration in 10.10 [05:20] xbonesx: um... run command, sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.conf [05:21] smanning192: ok one sec [05:21] ZykoticK9_: not tried it yet for real, when I put the RC on I will, only done vm testing so far of 10.10, and yeah no music in my vm. and tried to get Unity to load on two computers from netbook CD, with no luck though as expected since the hardware [05:21] hey, so ubuntu told me it wants to do a partial distribution upgrade (i have 10.10 beta right now) and it's been at the 'preparing to upgrade' stage for about 10 minutes, seemingly doing nothing. At the botton is says 'fetching is complete'.. [05:21] sebsebseb: so lucid will be upgradable to the next LTS version whenever its released [05:21] i'd appreciate any input on this [05:21] sebsebseb, i haven't had much luck testing unity in VMs either :( [05:22] wait.. it's at an error msg now, never mind [05:22] at05gt: by default it is set to only upgrade to 12.04 (April 2012 release) or maybe thats 12.04.1 when it actasully would [05:22] at05gt: however it can be changed so that it will show 10.10 as an upgrade [05:22] smanning192: I'm on live right now so its blank but after i do the install I will try again [05:22] at05gt: and then that can be upgraded to [05:22] xbonesx: your partiton is a bit small for Ubuntu in a way [05:22] sebsebseb: ill stick with what i just installed 2 days ago for now LOL [05:23] xbonesx: or well no its fine, as long as you don't start storing a load of big data in your Ubuntu partition [05:23] is there a way like in vista to lower the volume of individual programs? [05:23] xbonesx: well its curreently unpartitioend space, but you would re install Ubuntu in to that space [05:23] at05gt: uhmm [05:23] sebsebseb: correct, and i might resize win7 partition, good size? [05:24] at05gt: depends on the user, I guess for most 10.10 is worth upgrading to really [05:24] at05gt: foobar2k [05:24] xbonesx: and having a big seperate /home can be useful for Ubuntu :) [05:24] au9ustine: i just searched the software center and found something that looks like it does what i need [05:24] Nautilus: do you have /etc/apache2/apache2.conf ? [05:24] xbonesx: as well as other distros [05:24] sebsebseb: I'm starting to like ubuntu but i dont know enough about linux yet, still doing research... [05:24] mmoebius: yes [05:24] au9ustine: pulseaudio volume control [05:25] at05gt: using wine, then install foobar2000 [05:25] xbonesx: /home makes re install easier, I been explaining to uLinux about this recently, and he linked to a good video as well on the subject :) [05:25] sebsebseb: I noticed in installation that you could choose something like /home, what is that all about? [05:25] sebsebseb: link for vid? [05:26] what about fb2k & ubuntu?? is that possible? [05:26] au9ustine: thanks but this pulse thing works perfect [05:27] xbonesx: This is a bit old now since the video is for 9.04, however still relivent, also I woudn't do 15GB like she has done, I would go with 10 or 12GB for /, then a big seperate /home, and some swap space useually. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhnLk3gviWY [05:27] xbonesx: as for what home is well, its your data, but also program user data [05:27] au9ustin: PulseAudio Volume Control, it integrates into the sound prefeences and allows you to control the volume of each stream. [05:27] at05gt: alsa also is a good choice [05:27] au9ustine: ill look into it TY [05:28] i am trying "sudo apt-get instal moonlight", but i get the error: Package moonlight is not available, but is referred to by another package. How cani then see silverlight apps on linux? [05:28] white_magic: install foobar2k using wine [05:29] well i assume you can install it using wine, but how well does it work? [05:29] sebsebseb: could you help me with one other thing? [05:29] xbonesx: depends on what it is [05:30] sebsebseb: i have to go through some extra trouble to get my wireless card to work, I've figured it out but i dont know how to make the changes stay so that when i reboot everything is taken care of, in more depth... [05:30] sebsebseb: i have to change the order of some file [05:30] xbonesx: card or USB adapter? [05:30] i have to have ndiswrapper run before ssb. [05:30] just get Wicd [05:30] sebsebseb: card [05:31] i had the same issue with my usb wireless adapter and i installed wicd and it works fine now [05:31] xbonesx: maybe at05gt can help you with that [05:31] this is what i have to do one sec ill get you a link [05:31] sebsebseb: file:///media/XXTRIPXX/New%20folder/Feisty_No-Fluff.htm#Step%203:%20All%20BCM43xx%20-%20Configure%20NDISWrapper%20(and%20WPA%20Supplicant) [05:32] sebsebseb: shit sry its a file i saved ill get you the actual link... [05:32] sebsebseb: wo wo wo dont go volunteering my noob ass for things [05:32] xbonesx: no sorting out wireless issues in Ubuntu isn't my area [05:32] lol [05:32] !ohmy [05:32] Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures.

I just installed Ubuntu I looked at the Ubuntu One. and started it. I got the email and entered the code. I get the screen Confirm computer access and it talkes abut the free ubuntu one 2gb plan. When I hit the Subscrib and add this computer button, I get an error saying it cant establish a connection to the server at localhost:51111. [05:40] Is there a problem with the website? why is it wanting to go to localhost? [05:40] Blue1: hahaha i copied from wiki docs on ubuntu website [05:40] Blue1: wifi* [05:40] xbonesx: yeah that doesn't always work - but I actually try my code before I post it onto pkill-9.com [05:41] Can I install a package ignoring a dependency (ie ignore wine1.0 since I have wine1.3)? [05:42] dax2112rush: your question is about as clear as the bottom of the hudson. if you have wine 1.3 installed, why are you fooling around with 1.0? [05:42] dax2112rush: No, and it's not necessary that 1.3 is backward compatible with 1.0 [05:42] In the first installation of Ubuntu the USpash has a good resolution. But after updating the resolution changed and became larger. How can I change the USplash resolution? [05:42] mmoebius: ok, for User & Group I think they're www-data but not sure. How to confirm? [05:43] hey everyone [05:43] i just started up a blog about ubuntu. wanna see? [05:43] Nautilus: they' re in /etc/apache2/envvars [05:43] Nautilus: I think www-data is right for both [05:43] Blue1: I want to install a package with a dependency to the wine1.0 but It won't let me install it since I have wine1.3 installed (and I suppose wine1.3 has a conflicts with wine1.0) [05:43] sacho: it won't let me do it [05:43] mmoebius: yup, www-datat [05:44] dax2112rush: dare I ask, what are you trying to install? [05:44] Blue1: dssi-vst [05:44] mmoebius: -t of course [05:44] Hi there I update to flash 64 “Square” and it is not working for me. [05:44] dax2112rush: what is it? [05:44] Nautilus: The empty directory that you prepared should be 'chown www-data:www-data' then [05:44] anyone? [05:44] Blue1: an adapter for windows Vst audio plugins [05:44] yes i am identified [05:45] Hi, I have added a second hard drive. I need to know how to format it (should I use ext3 or ext4?) and then add it to the /etc/fstab file. [05:45] studentz: do you have a 64 bit system? [05:45] Blue1 Yep [05:45] if i am not identified the nhow do i do it? [05:45] dax2112rush: yea you need more an expert in that -- wine has worked well for almost everything I throw at it, except of course, it has no usb support (for that I use virtual box) [05:45] UbuXubu: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#identify [05:46] hello all got a question.

[05:46] studentz: where did you get the 64 bit flash from? [05:46] Is there a problem with the website? why is it wanting to go to localhost? [05:46] detrix: first, partition the drive. use fdisk or gparted [05:46] Blue1: ok, thansk anyways === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:46] detrix: You want the driva as one big data space, i guess ? [05:47] mmoebius, correct. [05:47] <_Ray_> Hey. What's an easy way to see a binary file's.. binary? Meaning, sort of like hexdump or od, but literally "00101001 10000110", etc. [05:47] detrix: then make just one partition. [05:47] Blue1 first try from adobe site and later I use sevenmachine ppa [05:47] Ok, I've got a show-stopper problem here. I just installed Samba and NFS and the associated libs...yet Ubunutu 10.04 seems to think that they aren't installed. Network sharing is a must...so any help would be appreciated. [05:47] detrix: fdisk will do. Do you know the devices /dev/sdXYZ name ? [05:47] can you use the regular disk to install with the same /home partition or do you need the alternate? [05:47] _Ray_: I use GHex, if you're using gnome. [05:47] <_Ray_> Thanks :) [05:48] _Ray_: man xxd also [05:48] mmoebius, i just started a blog about ubuntu and i'm trying to spread the word. want to see ? [05:48] studentz: i THOUGHT that they had quit making 64 bit flash unavil. [05:48] rww: i configured my client with my password so it does it all for me? [05:48] mmoebius, I have gparted formating it now......its late for me, and I guess I overlooked how to get gparted to format it....;) [05:49] NoTownKasper: you might try the article pointed to here: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=309 [05:49] mmoebius, but I may need some help with the fstab entry if you dont mind. [05:49] detrix: no problem [05:49] Blue1 they release today the las beta. Most of the people does not have any problem exept me [05:49] mmoebius: did the chown and stiff, but I get an error on line 21 that /etc/apache isnt a valid ServerRoot [05:49] mmo err /etc/apache2 [05:49] i_is_broke: you can install /home/ under the root directory /, or it can be a seperate partition your choice [05:49] Nautilus: try making an empty director y for that, too. [05:50] i have the dir [05:50] I'm in it, in CLI [05:50] Blue1: That would be fine and dandy...except I can't configure something that isn't even showing as installed. :P [05:50] studentz: you have a url for that? [05:50] And that emtpy directory should be writeable by sthe user www-data:www-data [05:50] it is [05:50] NoTownKasper: sorry that seems to help a lot of people.

[05:54] laxative: That is a redirect to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/human_feces ... what's the fun about it ? [05:54] Is it possible to force apt to ignore a given dependency? [05:54] Nautilus: I was wrong on that [05:54] Nautilus: Try an empty directory for ServerRoot [05:55] UbuXubu: If you followed the instructions I linked to, it'd have you put in your username too, so it wouldn't matter. [05:55] mmoebius: doing that [05:55] chown'd it too [05:55] mmoebius: An empty directory that is different from DocumentRoot [05:55] The one problem with linux becoming more popular...more morons usin it who think fecal-links are funny. :\ [05:55] Nautilus: very good. [05:55] Nautilus: is apache now willing to start any better ? [05:56] Nautilus: and i suppose you start apache2 with sudo so it can claim port 80, right ?

[05:59] * Nautilus sighs [05:59] how do you identify, what is the command?

[06:07] Haballo: there are 50 users in #xubuntu [06:08] i_is_broke: kewl but I ran into that problem on a netbook, stealing space from windows -- [06:08] really!! it was empty the last time I was in [06:08] lol dont blame you [06:08] thanks anyways...laters [06:08] Ok, so I have Samba installed as well as samba-common and the samba server configuration tool that Blue1 pointed me at, I have my folders configured to be shared but they're invisible to the windows machines on the local network... [06:09] Haballo: it may not be active at the moment but try joining and asking and if someone is around I am sure they will try to help [06:09] NoTownKasper: okay network debugging 101 - can each machine ping each other? [06:09] okay, thanks [06:10] hello, is there a way to go from ubuntu -> kubuntu without reinstalling everything? [06:10] Blue1: Sorry, I was missinformed, they're visible, but not accessable. and yes, they can ping eachother. :P [06:11] NoTownKasper: okay. [06:12] NoTownKasper: sometime it helps to put the host name of each machine in the hosts file - that has been a show stopper for me. [06:12] Mine or theirs? [06:12] NoTownKasper: both [06:13] my laptop using lucid, it's work fine after installing. but wireless device wont be active even i push the button. need your all help please [06:13] Blue1: Well, that will be a fun one to try and walk my parents through... [06:13] Blue1: Any other, easier suggestions to try first? lol [06:14] NoTownKasper: nope -- I switched my folks over to linux a year ago - they are in their 80's -- yo might consider that [06:14] Blue1: Paraphrased Error Message: Windows can see that Ubuntu-Desktop exists, but cannot find the folder. [06:14] and other question, can you trcommend me som e gui file manager, the lightr, the bertter? [06:15] midnight commander [06:15] NoTownKasper: easy file sharing in gnome: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=190 [06:16] with nvidia cards, if you want to use the restricted driver you have to disable the free one right? [06:16] Blue1: bah, link me to the article next time and not the wordpress bookmark. ;) [06:16] rabidweezle: no you should just be able to enable the restricted dirver - that's all I've ever done. [06:16] totally random question.. is there a commandline file text editor? [06:16] (by default, in ubuntu) [06:17] Blue1: maybe the restricted driver doesn't like my gtx 260M :( [06:17] NoTownKasper: sorry that's the why my site is set up... [06:17] Blue1: Actually, that article is what I tried the first time and it failed the exact same...so I came in here and followed your suggestion, even re-installed samba...and am having the same problem. [06:17] white_magic, nano, vim, ed [06:17] NoTownKasper: ok [06:17] ty [06:17] i using acer aspire 2920z n install lucid lynx into that. but my wireless device wont active even when i push wireless button. [06:18] Blue1: Error code 0x80070043 if that means anything, from the Windows Vista machine when trying to access a shared folder over the network. :P [06:19] is there some lightwayght file manager which can browse SMB network? [06:20] NoTownKasper, "network name not found" [06:20] NoTownKasper: yeah seems to be a dns issue - adding the ips to the host file usually resolves the issues [06:20] ... [06:20] NoTownKasper: YMMV [06:21] One of these days, things will work properly out of the box... [06:21] or you may just not play fool with hosts like in 1969 and just set up DNS [06:21] bind9 [06:21] white magic yes there is nano [06:21] Blue1: I'm tired...in whole words please? :P [06:22] screw bind, dnsmasq will do fine [06:22] how i know what wireless driver i used? [06:23] NoTownKasper: bind9 is th name of the dns service in ubuntu however you issue MIGHT be resolved if it can usually get to the hosts. that means adding the ip to /etc/hosts and \Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts [06:23] hosts is deprecated [06:24] St: ez fix though [06:24] hey I accidentally booted my system disk inside KVM and now it won't boot, How can i get this things working again? [06:24] !wireless [06:24] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:25] Blue1: Ok...and what happens when we reboot in a different cycle and the router assigns me a different IP? Should I just drop in the first 6 or so IP's in the 192.168.1 block? [06:25] in 8.04LTS how do I empty the 'trashcan' aka 'lost+found' ? [06:25] i am registered? why does this ubuntu-unreg thing happened? [06:25] i'm like damn thats a dumb Q, but I don't see it. [06:25] NoTownKasper, if you have router, you have dns+dhcp. just set windows to use DNS for NETBIOS name resolution [06:25] NoTownKasper: you should use static ip reservations based on mac addresses in the router - so the same mac address always gets the same ip. it depends on the router and software you are using however. [06:26] LOL, Oh! That trashcan (lower right) [06:26] is there some lightwayght file manager which can browse SMB network? [06:26] Blue1: I have no idea what the router is set up to do, nor do I have access to change it, and the person who does wouldn't even understand the term static IP...:\ [06:26] dns is both simple and complex at the same time. [06:27] :-( [06:27] What is the usual VNC server? [06:27] armyriad: x11vnc [06:27] Blue1: I guess I get to go back to windows...sharing is a serious requirement and it needs to be point and click simple on all 3 machines. *sigh* [06:28] NoTownKasper: sorry I wasn't able to help. [06:29] Blue1: No worries, and thanks for the assistance, I'm just dealing with completely computer illiterate roomates on a subject that even my understanding is a bit patchy. [06:29] NoTownKasper: I've used samba quite a bit. Whats your issue again? [06:29] NoTownKasper: I have not setup samba in over 3 years, when all my machines are now linux 24/7/365 [06:29] icedtea: Simple answer Windows vista machine on a local network, can see but not access my shared folders. [06:29] how can i force ubuntu to upgrade itself? [06:30] it's having a hard time completing the partial upgrade process [06:30] maybe it's because my wifi is flakey [06:30] NoTownKasper, 'what you mean, cannot access'? [06:30] white_magic: what do you mean upgrade, upgrade as in getting software updates, or upgrade is in going from one release to another? [06:30] St ...I mean it can't access the folder. [06:30] NoTownKasper, diagnostics? [06:31] Blue1: i'm not 100% sure. i have 10.10 beta and it told me it wants to upgrade certain components, but it wasn't able to fetch them successfully [06:31] now i can't find any place where i can force the upgrade to start again [06:31] white_magic: you should take 10.10 issues to #ubuntu+1 [06:31] st: error code 0x80070043 - network name cannot be found. paraphrased error message: windows can see the ubuntu desktop but can't find the folder. [06:31] Blue1: it's kinda dead there :( [06:31] how the way to know what wireless driver i used? [06:31] icedtea: that a dns issue error code [06:31] white_magic: Ubuntu Maverick discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1, not here. As a general rule, though, doing partial upgrades on a development version of Ubuntu is a good way to break things. [06:31] NoTownKasper: Sound like you need to get the Vista settings just right. Vista is a pita there. BTW, this is the #ubuntu channel [06:32] Nautilus: You're right...and I'm using Ubuntu and trying to configure it so the other systems can access it. Thanks for telling me what channel I joined though. :\ [06:32] haha, rww, well, it's ubuntu that told me to do the partial upgrade [06:32] NoTownKasper: how did you setup samba on the linux box? [06:32] NoTownKasper: sorry 'bout that bit, I see. [06:33] NoTownKasper: just sayin', it's probably the vista box not yours. [06:33] NoTownKasper: another dumb question, you DID setup a samba password ritght? smbpass iirc [06:33] is nobody know, or i just invisible? [06:34] caken: sorry the question again. [06:34] is anyone running vim 7.3 & ubuntu 10.04? [06:34] NoTownKasper, have you switched Vista to Windows 95 compatibility mode? [06:35] how would i go about installing vim 7.3 i currently have 7.2 from repos [06:35] samba cannot be accessed from windows 98/NT4 [06:35] Blue1, i have acer aspire 2920z laptop and i using ubuntu lucid lynx into it. but the wireless device is wont active even i push the wireless button. u have idea to fix it? [06:35] actually, wow actually this is 6.3? [06:35] help I nuked my system. [06:35] caken: what type of card to you have? [06:36] icedtea: First time I right-clicked the folder in nautilus and clicked 'share this folder' it prompted me to install the services and restart my session, so I did...and it flopped. So I reinstalled samba manually using apt-get install samba samba-common and again tried to share the folders and it flopped. So I tried the first step, but used sudo nautilus...and it flopped...so I manually installed samba and samba-common again and the [06:36] NoTownKasper, HAD setup your Vista box for working with WINDOWS 95 servers? [06:36] i am not sure what is that. so how to know that? [06:37] caken: let me get my netbook and we'll check [06:37] caken: type 'lspci' at a command line [06:37] Guys...I appreciate all the help but I can't keep up with 5 people at once...lol [06:37] icedtea, ok [06:37] Hi everyone! [06:38] st: I don't know, but I doubt it...there hasn't been a '95 box around here since...well...'98 or so. lol [06:38] !hi | Nastya [06:38] Nastya: 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! [06:39] NoTownKasper, by default samba works like windows 95 server and vista should be setup to work with it [06:39] Recommend me please a nice console e-mail client [06:39] Nastya: mutt [06:39] caken: lspci | grep Wireless [06:39] I have found several ones but I don't know which is the best one === moe is now known as mobasher [06:39] is there some lightwayght file manager which can browse SMB network? [06:40] icedtea, yes. i see many line of it. lol [06:40] st: Well, I know previous versions of Ubuntu have been far simpler when it comes to sharing, as in right-click, share this folder...why this is suddenly so complex is beyond me. [06:40] how has it changed? [06:40] NoTownKasper, because samba developers are lazy and totally lost behind [06:40] icedtea, nothing happen [06:41] NoTownKasper: I have Vista on my laptop, but my router fried the other day, otherwise I would try it out [06:41] * NoTownKasper is really losing his bloody patience... [06:42] NoTownKasper, I would use Vista for sharing files, it's much better and mere compatible [06:42] NoTownKasper: let me see if I can find the power adapter to my switch [06:43] st: maybe I'm missing something here, but how can I offer files on my HD to other machines on the network without moving them to a shared folder on another machine, if my machine isn't configured to share files? [06:44] If I've got 600 MHz, 128MB RAM, and 2 GB SDD, would it be worth trying to install a flavour of Ubuntu? [06:44] Blue1, nothing happened. i was type lspci. it's work but show many lines. which show what my wireless card type? [06:44] wihtouth all the fancy graph options [06:44] NoTownKasper, if you choosed to keep your files on Ubuntu machine, you cannot. live with consequences or set up vista properly === _pg__ is now known as _pg_ [06:45] if I was an Ubuntu developer, I would put in the Network setup wizard to configure samba so it worked OOB, and not in its idiotic state it is now === richard is now known as Guest83893 [06:46] caken: lspci | grep Wireless only showed my wireless adapter: for example 01:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

Thanks...but incorrect. :\ [06:48] st: ok [06:48] I need some help for booting problem, can someone guide me [06:48] NoTownKasper, you setup it for them, they use it. problem solved [06:49] * NoTownKasper isn't going to explain, once again, that he doesn't have physical access to the machines, or that he shouldn't have to go through all of this for something that worked OOB previously. Kthnx. [06:49] Earlier it started with blank screen, no text no splash, now it completly freezed no movement, pl [06:50] Blue1, bu he said he can browse shares from win machine, so it can see server and get shares list, it's not a dns problem [06:50] Hi! anyone for me pl [06:51] Is there some kind of secret codeword I need to say to get someones attention in this channel, or are you all trying to focus on the one topic?

[07:02] I installed xserver-xorg-input-joystick but so far when I toggle the analog to digital switch on my gamepad, it doesn't switch anything, thus it's not recognized. I'd be greatfull if someone could help me out with this one. [07:03] Hi all. Anybody with knowledge on OpenERP? [07:03] hi guys i dont have sound on recently installed netbook, soundcards are not gettin detected [07:03] !sound | wasnik [07:03] wasnik: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [07:04] hey, i have a quick question about grub, if anyone is interested [07:04] dubey: probably a bug in the Bonjour plugin I would guess [07:04] xbonesx=}} okay PM me [07:04] elementzero go for it, though make sure its relevent to the topic [07:04] halexander, i'd suggest you try using "blight's SDL input plugin" for Mupen64 (though I'm using Mupen64plus) [07:05] Prior to updating, I had Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-21-generic and Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-21-generic (Recovery mode) as selectable in grub [07:05] I'm using that. But I can't use the controller. [07:05] after updating, I have two MORE options in addition to Ubuntu....32-21-generic [07:05] The gamepad is simply -not- recognized by the OS. [07:05] I now have Ubuntu....32-24-generic [07:05] why did updating install two more boot options? [07:05] IdleOne: ok, But now i am not able to open pidgin [07:06] elementzero because your kernel got upgraded. [07:06] elementzero: it added your new kernel to the boot options [07:06] ok [07:06] halexander, if you run "ls /dev/input/" in a terminal is there a js0 when the joystick is plugged in? [07:06] elementzero to insure that the new kernel doesnt screw you over it just installs the new kernel, it doesnt erase the old one [07:06] so i just need to modify grub.cfg and get rid of the relevent options, then? [07:06] elementzero: yep [07:06] k, thanks [07:06] elementzero err...thatd be problematic [07:06] uh? [07:07] ZykoticK9_, I have a js0. [07:07] Hi anyone outthere smart in setting up proxies and resolving problems with them. I deinstalled polipo But don't seem to be able to login to website anymore (with any browser) due to cookie problems. I can't for example login to i-google while i was able too when running polipo. Any ideas/suggestions are welcome. [07:07] * elementzero is hoping to reduce his menu options to: "Xubuntu 10.04", "Xubuntu 10.04 (Recovery Mode)", and "Windows 7" [07:07] elementzero 1.) You mangle grub so that you cannot use the updated kernel 2.)You remove the relevant options and you have useless kernel images laying around [07:08] elementzero ones that will keep coming back everytime grub gets updates [07:08] madfox: yeah thats true you could remove the outdated kernels [07:09] madfox: I plan to remove the ...32-21 kernal and leave the 32-24 kernal [07:09] Tweaky elementzero thatd be the proper way. but id becareful and make sure the new one runs smoothly for you consistently first. [07:09] and then get rid of the memtest+, as i doubt i'll need it [07:09] elementzeror untill you need it... [07:09] elementzero untill you wish you had it... [07:09] only gamers and overclockers need it [07:09] elementzero: I'd leave at least one other kernel option and the memtest, it might be a bit bulky, but when something strikes and you actually need them, trust me, you'll thank yourself. [07:10] fair enough [07:10] i had just something strike, after all ^_^ [07:10] elementzero NoTownKasper o.o like the time the new kernel trashed my video and I was typing blind [07:11] first time installing linux, did mint xfce. i installed the nvidia drivers and all i got was a black screen, even in recovery mode [07:11] took a long time for me to figure out i needed to reboot with my liveusb, mount my partition, and change xorg.conf from nvidia to vesa to fix it [07:11] hi guys just installed netbook but no sound. ubuntu does not detect my soundcards. please help [07:11] anyways, now i'm on xubuntu, we'll see if the nvidia drivers do it again [07:11] wasnik: which netbook? [07:12] gnea: ubuntu 10.04 [07:12] madfox: Yeah, like that. [07:13] wasnik: so you installed standard ubuntu 10.04 on a netbook? or did you install netbook remix on a netbook? [07:14] Gnea: standard ubuntu netbook [07:16] hello, can anyone tell me how to reinstall grub so i can boot my system? [07:16] wasnik: so, yeah, which netbook? [07:17] hi [07:17] etherealite_, I'm trying to configure it, myself. check here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [07:17] !grub | etherealite_ [07:17] etherealite_: 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. [07:17] Gnea: standard netbook [07:17] etherealite_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [07:18] anyone know how to program a button on my mouse to operate my music player rhythmbox ? [07:18] etherealite_: If you can't boot your system, you're going to need a live CD or a Grub CD. [07:18] wasnik: who made the netbook? what's the model #? [07:18] armyriad what about the install cd in rescue mode? [07:18] i'm on an asus 1215n and i don't think my sound card is recognized, either [07:19] armyriad if not, what rescue disk should I use? [07:19] elementzero: if you open a terminal and type: alsamixer does it report an error? [07:19] nope [07:20] lemme go try to play something [07:20] just removed pidgin, and it even didn't bother to remove ~/.purple with my plain password! [07:20] Gnea: I downloaded the version from this site http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/features [07:20] juk: why would it? [07:20] RealOpty: I forget the exact program name, but playdeb.net and probably getdeb.net have a program called omnijoy or something very similar which allows you to configure all sorts of mouse/joystick/controller functions for just that sort of issue. So there's an option. I use my logitect controller as a remote for VLC and Rhythmbox. :P === Lazy^ is now known as folivora [07:21] Gnea:wtf, it stores my pass in plain file? [07:21] juk: removing a package never, ever touches per-user configuration files in ~/ [07:21] wasnik: well, if alsamixer doesn't work, then I don't know what you can do [07:21] i use an origonal xbox controller in ubuntu lol [07:21] alsamixer appears to work [07:21] juk: mind the language, we know what it means. [07:21] rww, not true. There's a "remove with prejudice" option [07:21] i see mixing bars and whatnot [07:21] elementzero: then your sound works fine. [07:22] you just need to make it work now [07:22] <_dancek> juk, storing plain passes is a wtf (ymmv) but not removing user configs certainly isn't [07:22] Madpilot: purging packages also doesn't remove per-user configuration files in ~/ [07:22] NoTownKasper, thanks. ill look that up. that reminds me. === _dancek is now known as dancek [07:22] rww, in Synaptic, it's "remove all" or similar [07:22] juk: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/PlainTextPasswords [07:22] juk: of course, setting proper ~ permissions tends to help [07:22] rww:thanks [07:23] juk: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/PlainTextPasswords [07:23] ...Bah, beat me to it. [07:23] Madpilot: "Complete removal"? That purges the package, which as I've said, doesn't touch ~/ [07:23] I don't have any sound controls if i click on my speaker button, though :-P [07:23] they should warn or something [07:23] gimme a sec, though, since i'm installing flash so i can test some music [07:23] rww, pretty sure it does; admittedly it's been ages since I've actually removed something... [07:23] NoTownKasper, how do you get your remote to work with rhythmbox? i know about enabling the plugin lirc, but did you have to config anything? [07:23] elementzero:did you unmute sound. [07:23] it doesn't show it's muted [07:24] Madpilot: You're wrong ;P [07:24] elementzero: you could try 'sound preferences' when you click on the speaker [07:24] rww, won't be the first time today :) [07:24] nvm, got em [07:25] i don't see sound preferences, but i found my controls :) [07:25] is anyone here an amazon affiliate? [07:25] !ot | fourstar_ [07:25] fourstar_: #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! [07:25] Hello! all [07:25] juk, why, every time a program saves a password its either in plaintext (you should know that) or in a keyring (which you know because you see some keyring app) [07:25] RealOpty: It's been a few weeks I'd have to look back at the specifics and it's not on this machine, it's on my laptop, but yeah, I used the program to bluff the gamepad buttons into mimicing the same commands on my media keyboard. [07:25] and firefox crashed while installing flash >_> [07:25] Madpilot: (The difference between regular and complete removal is that the latter removes /system-wide/ configuration files) [07:25] juk, things like subversion save passwords in plaintext, too [07:25] using ppp0 interface but my client cant connect using my IP(dynamic)over the internet. Any solution? [07:25] rww, ah, nvermind [07:25] I have a serious boot problem! please help me [07:25] Gnea: I installed gnome alsamixer and i dont see no soundcard or sliders [07:25] anyremote says "disconnected from phone " what shall i do?? [07:26] sas, what's up [07:26] rww: this is the only channel with a huge community, and i'm sure someone in here is an affiliate. i just have a quick question, and there is no "affiliate channel" on ffreenode [07:26] sas: more specifically [07:26] plus i'm on ubuntu right now [07:26] so does that count? [07:26] elementzero:in the top,right corner you will see something that resembles a speaker.Right click it and it should show volume. [07:26] RealOpty: So if the command for my media keyboard was something like MKBplay for the play button, that's what I set the 'x' button on my controller to send when Rhythmbox is in the forefront. Make sense? [07:26] fourstar_: It's not an Ubuntu support question, so it doesn't belong here. [07:26] dancek:thanks, but here it comes to privacy [07:26] technically, since i'm on ubuntu, need support, it is an ubuntu support question [07:26] it started with blank screen no text no splash but finally the desktop would come, today its just freezined no movement [07:26] fourstar_: No, it's not. [07:26] modus ponens [07:27] frobisher: yeah, but the only thing i can do is show and hide sound mixers. in anycase, my sound works :) [07:27] Good [07:27] elementzero: you got it, now I am comming to you through usb-live [07:28] are you richard stallman? or linus torvalds, rww? [07:28] you are most likely just an insignificant noob [07:28] so get lost [07:28] * NoTownKasper waves bye bye to fourstar while he-...oops...too late. [07:28] sas: did you install nvidia drivers? lol [07:28] lol [07:28] Tweaky: I hope you got it [07:28] * elementzero installed nvidia drivers and ubuntu booted to black. even i recovery mode. even with ctrl+alt+f1 [07:29] elementzero: yes [07:29] sas: did the problem start after installing the drivers? [07:29] elementzero: oh god.. proprietary ones? [07:29] i had a corruption on my top panel...the place where th on/off switch was suddenly just show the letter "m"? [07:29] yeah [07:30] !panels | Balsaq [07:30] Balsaq: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [07:30] elementzero:yes [07:30] Tweaky: a box popped up and told me that i could have hardware acceleration, transparency, and everything else you'd want in a video card if i installed the restricted ones [07:30] !panels === Gugu is now known as Gurty [07:30] :/ [07:30] sas: the farthest i got on that problem before uninstalling linux mint xfce and installing xubuntu was [07:30] now my name is gone off the panles [07:31] elementzero: Sounds to me like your xconf broke when you installed the new drivers... [07:31] Tweaky, what other options do i have? === Gurty is now known as Gugu [07:31] using ppp0 interface but my client cant connect using my IP(dynamic)over the internet. Any solution? [07:31] sas: do an fdisk -l in the terminal to find your linux partition [07:31] elementzero: it means nothing could be done [07:31] sas: then do mount /dev/ [07:31] i am trying to make an init.d script, and when start-stop-daemon tries to start the program it barfs "can't find config file" but when i type /path/to/program it works fine. everything is owned by root. should i change something else? note: the server says it can't find its config file, not start-stop-daemon. [07:31] elementzero: you shouldnt have to install proprietary video card drivers, it should work well with the open source [07:32] Tweaky: does the update manager install the best ones for me? [07:33] elementzero: yes. i had the same kinda issue with ati propiedtary drivers [07:33] genewitch: i'd bet that the PATH variable that includes your config file normally isn't present in the daemon environment [07:33] sas: anyways, mount your linux partition to some folder, browse to that folder, and then browse to etc/X11/ and open up xorg.conf [07:33] Tweaky: There's OS drivers for Nvidea cards? [07:33] sas: change whatever "nvidia" to "vesa", i think [07:33] Even through live usb I can access my partition, tell me what next [07:33] masen: i edited that line in the init.d script, though, i used /etc/init.d/skeleton [07:33] sas: open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:33] wasnik: alsamixer isn't a gnome program. [07:33] NoTownKasper: yes [07:33] how to find the port number?? [07:33] masen: how do i do the export path thing again [07:33] how to find the port number?? [07:33] bye [07:34] genewitch: i'm not sure in init.d scripts [07:34] Tweaky: i assume i can't have any nvidia drivers, then, since this is an nvidia ion/optimus netbook :( [07:34] i've just had similar issues with cron jobs [07:34] everything must go through the intel gma :'( [07:34] masen: just in general?

Because I've never been able to get 3D rendering to work without proprietary drivers for my Nvidea card... [07:34] gemewitch: you could replace your normal binary with something like /usr/bin/env > /tmp/environment_vars [07:34] to get a dump of the daemon environment [07:35] genewitch: or possibly specify an absolute path to the config file in the line, if the binary supports that on the command line [07:35] masen: how do i edit permanently the environment variables [07:35] Gnea: I didnt have alsamixer to begin with, so i installed a gnome-alsamixer === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [07:36] wtf [07:36] "Unable to lock the download directory" [07:36] why does it need to lock a temporary download directory when i apt-get? [07:36] abhijit: terminal says -- !port:event not found [07:36] genewitch: you could try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=872881 [07:36] NoTownKasper: hmm yeah same issue i had with ati. i went into the compiz channel and someone walked me through getting it working perfect without proprietary [07:36] wasnik: again, it's not a gui program, you're supposed to open a terminal and type: alsamixer [07:36] E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [07:36] abhijit: terminal says -- !port:event not found [07:36] phanindraramesh_, :S [07:37] !firewall [07:37] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [07:37] phanindraramesh_, read that document. it may have info on how to find port number. i dont know [07:37] cue: there's a way to type export $PATH and have it append [07:37] export $1 $PATH or something [07:38] howdee [07:38] export PATH="$PATH:/etc:/usr/local/etc" [07:38] Tweaky: Interesting, might have to check that out later. Never had problems with proprietary except when setting up a dual-card, dual monitor system. lol [07:38] genewitch: you should really take a look at my link, it's your exact problem [07:38] Gnea: When i do that i get, alsamixer doesnot exist. no such profram [07:38] etherealite_: What exactly happens when you try to boot? [07:38] gragh [07:38] masen: i did, but the server is already running as the user it needs [07:39] are the flash alternatives any good? [07:39] no [07:39] wasnik: what is the result of this command: cat /proc/asound/cards\ [07:39] wasnik: without the \ at the end [07:39] i am trying to install Lotus Notes on Ubuntu 10.04 32bit. I am having a dependency problem, when installing the .deb with dpkg i get 'package libgnome-desktop-2 is not installed.' [07:39] elementzero: yes I managed to find that file and clicked it open, what next [07:39] sas: what's in it? [07:39] genewitch: try something like this in your script itself: PATH="$PATH:/path/to/config_file" [07:39] How can I send you that! [07:39] sas: is there's a line for "nvidia", change it to "vesa", i think [07:40] mmcji: Run "sudo apt-get -f install" or use gdebi instead of using dpkg directly. [07:40] masen: i did that i will test it later. thanks a ton :-) [07:40] good luck [07:40] Get it confirm and guide me, or I send you the full output [07:40] huh? [07:40] i already know the application runs fine with a force install, but i would rather create a few symlinks to fool the install process. My question is , what am i creating the symlink to. I have tried 'ln -s /usr/lib/libgnome-desktop-2.so.17 /usr/lib/libgnome-desktop-2.so.11' but that did not work [07:41] yes apt-get -f install works, but that messes up apt-get [07:41] hello [10.04], for some reason my indicator applet on the panel disappeared, so I had to add it again, but this time the space between its icons is big and it takes a lot of space on my small laptop's display :( http://i.imgur.com/8xI4Y.png [07:41] Gnea: no such file or directory [07:42] elementzero: I have that xorg.conf read only file open! [07:42] wasnik: I'm going to ask you one last time: what is the make and model of your netbook? [07:42] lousygarua: mine is the same way now that you mention it [07:42] !panels | lousygarua [07:42] lousygarua: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [07:42] sas: does it say "nvidia" anywhere? [07:42] yes a lot of places [07:42] change them all to vesa [07:43] that's as far as i got in my struggles [07:43] headkase314: will it unset all my current panel customizations? [07:43] will that work? [07:43] lousygarua, yes [07:43] lousygarua: Yeah, it will. [07:43] changing them to vesa and saving should get you off of the nvidia drivers [07:43] headkase314: :( [07:43] headkase314: j/k :) [07:43] or is there a way to do a force install where deps are not checked. sort of like a --no-deps with rpm [07:43] then you can try to uninstall them somehow [07:43] Gnea: Its a compaq presario f755us. i am sorry earlier i hade got confused thatu were askin me the version of the ubumntu netbook sofrware i installed [07:43] I will check it [07:43] and then figure out what the best are [07:43] i dunno how to find out what drivers i'm using. neuveau, maybe? [07:43] mouveau [07:43] lousygarua: i just moved mine around and its all compacted now [07:43] nouveau.. [07:44] mmcji: What do you mean by "messes up apt-get"? [07:44] mmcji: -f with apt-get does not stand for "force" btw, it stands for "fix". [07:45] "nouveau 467048 0 - Live 0xf8e8a000" I assume this is my video card driver [07:45] im having problems install ubuntu 10.04.01 on my Vaio 64 bit machine [07:45] wasnik: well, you see, here's the thing... netbook remix is made for netbooks, not standard laptops [07:45] Tweaky: will try that, thanks [07:45] !details | EdMoney [07:45] EdMoney: 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 ..." [07:45] neither installing from disc, or trying ubuntu as a program within windows is working [07:45] Gnea: so what should i do [07:45] ev_calibrate donts works on lucid [07:46] i tried ubuntu netbook, chrome os, and meego [07:46] wasnik: install ubuntu [07:46] meego was the best, but they all lacked desktops which made me unhappy [07:46] cool, i did not know -f was fix. after doing the -f install, if i then try to run apt-get update, i get a message that i need to run apt-get -f install with out a packege specified to correct a package problem. If I do that, it wants to remove lotus notes. [07:46] Gnea: is theer no way to fix the sound [07:46] hello [07:47] wasnik: do you think I'm leading you on a path to where sound wouldn't work? [07:47] if I could exclude notes from being managed by dpkg that would be great. [07:47] why the microphone donts works in the samsung q1 ultra and hp dv 2000 with ubuntu 10.04???? [07:47] hi, from command line, how to check which version of soft will be installed with apt-get install? [07:47] what happened to the login manager? [07:47] abhijit: at first, ubuntu would freeze up and nothing would happen, they I tried choosing the language on install and then installing with nomodeset, and then like 45 minutes the install would crap out [07:48] I can't change anything in it anymore... :( [07:48] !details | brime [07:48] brime: 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 ..." [07:48] I would not be using lotus notes, but it is a req at work, and we have a bunch users at work that use ubuntu as our workstations so I want that to continue. [07:48] NoTownKasper, yeah what about rhythmbox though. I have a remote and such, i want to use lirc [07:48] Gnea: Just that I have spent so much time installin netbook ubuntu. I was curious if i could just fix the sound on this version itself [07:48] !hardware | EdMoney from this link and from release notes be sure that your hardware is supported is knows to be working in ubuntu [07:48] EdMoney from this link and from release notes be sure that your hardware is supported is knows to be working in ubuntu: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [07:49] ubottu, thanks much [07:49] marekw2143: apt-get -sV install [07:49] wasnik: you'd spend less time and avoid more headaches by installing the standard version of ubuntu [07:49] masen: thx [07:49] marekw2143: -s = simulate, -V = show version numbers [07:49] wasnik: plus you've got a 64bit system, so get the 64bit while you're at it [07:49] ok i want to setup xdmcp on a ubuntu 10.04 server and i cant seem to find the login manager to enable this [07:49] did it get removed? [07:50] hello [07:50] Does anyone here have experience with ntop? [07:50] RealOpty: Honestly, I don't remember how I configured it...but it will require some configuring and playing around with the program I mentioned. [07:50] Gnea: oh is my system 64 bit I think i felt it was just 32 bit [07:50] I'd really, really appreciate some help [07:50] !ask | Samekh [07:50] marekw2143: for future reference, everything a command can do (usually) can be read on the man page. for instance: man apt-get [07:50] Samekh: 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. :-) [07:50] wasnik: google it. [07:51] masen: yeah, I know that [07:51] !ask | Samekh [07:51] Samekh, please see my private message [07:51] wasnik: the amd turion 64 is a, well, 64bit cpu [07:51] !bot > Samekh [07:51] RealOpty: And I think the controller/mouse needs to be hardwired into the system for omnijoy or whatever it's called to work...if you have a real remove, I can't help ya. [07:51] Gnea: So why is the ubuntu website saying 32 bit is recommended for most users [07:51] *remote [07:52] wasnik: well, it does require that you use your head for yourself, to some extent :) [07:52] wasnik: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940 [07:52] wasnik: Because 64 bit isn't as compatible with most common programs, requires special configuration to run 32 bit apps and is un-necessary for most daily, desktop user's usual tasks. :P [07:53] I'm having some problems with wicd. It will not connect any devices or really even load at all. On startup, it asks for my admin password to access my devices, which it never did, then it doesn't load. [07:53] hello [07:53] I got problem with java anyone can help [07:53] !anyone | zipp [07:53] zipp: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [07:54] I cannot get ntop to listen on my destination (mirrored port) properly - I use to command line switch -i eth1 and ntop loads with a list of 5 devices including the switch and bridges - how do I get it to listen on eth1 properly? Wireshark confirms that this port is operating as expected and wireshark is functioning properly [07:54] Also, it says when it finally tries to load (after trying to start it 15000 times), that it will not load due to errors logged in wicd.log [07:54] when i access that file, it says that there are errors in wicd.conf among various other things [07:54] brime: i think you should take a look at this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#GDM does not support XDMCP [07:54] i'm currently on my livecd [07:54] Selecting interface eth0 shows me -some- traffic [07:54] NoTownKasper: But running a 32 bit ubuntu version on 64 bit is not goin to cause errors right [07:54] i.e. local traffic [07:55] some chatting applications won't work with openjava and I decided to install the closed one, I install it make linking but it won't work [07:55] wasnik: Not at all. Your processer architecture isn't the determining factor. You'll be fine running 32bit on a 64bit processor system. [07:55] Samekh, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ntop [07:55] brime: go to: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes and scroll down to section: GDM does not support XDMCP [07:55] Jordan_U: is it just me or do a lot "non-critical" bugs go unfixed or even ignored by the ubuntu devs [07:56] NoTownKasper, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1066766 [07:57] RealOpty: That problem is out of my league. I'm sorry. [07:57] the stupid cursor theme compiz bug is the most ridiculous unfixed bug i've seen so far on launchpad. It's a one line fix, super simple even posted on the page...nothing for months...still not fixed [07:57] JoeMaverickSett: thank you... [07:57] abhijit, ntop is installed and running - this page, unfortunately, does not tell you how to properly select and configure a different interface [07:57] Its odd that the GDM has lost features... [07:57] masen: I think ignored isn't the right word as there are simply to many bug reports and not enough developers/triager. But yes, it's unfortunately common for minor bugs to go unfixed. If you'd like to talk about it more join #ubuntu-offtopic. [07:57] Samekh, hmm [07:57] 'm having some problems with wicd. It will not connect any devices or really even load at all. On startup, it asks for my admin password to access my devices, which it never did, then it doesn't load. Also, it says when it finally tries to load (after trying to start it 15000 times), that it will not load due to errors logged in wicd.log -- when i access that file, it says that there are errors in wicd.conf among various [07:58] RealOpty: Might want to try the fix on that same thread you posted to me though...might help. :P [07:58] can anyone help me fix this from here? [07:58] NoTownKasper, ???? [07:58] masen: And even non-minor ones :0 [07:58] can anyone tell me how support is licensed on vmware? [07:58] archstanton43, ask in #vmware [07:58] Hey, I need help bad:) [07:59] if i want enterprise support do i purchase by cpu core or machine? [07:59] archstanton43: Try ##vmware, or call their support services. [07:59] !ask | evilaim [07:59] evilaim: 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. :-) [07:59] yes what abhijit said [07:59] MissingPerson: try wiping out your config file (after backing it up of course) and start over [07:59] How do I lock a user in the /home/tekky folder? [07:59] abhijit why? [07:59] User tekky should stay in /home/tekky. Can't cd .. out [07:59] NoTownKasper: and i should go for the desktop edition right. (Generally desktop is different from laptop in daily usage) [07:59] archstanton43, there are people with knowledge about vmware. they can guide you better than here [07:59] masen: would it be easier just to reinstall wicd with aptitude and start over? [07:59] abhijit im asking about ubuntu support on vmware [07:59] :( [08:00] RealOpty: You said you wanted to use your remote with Rhythmbox right? Well, that same thread had a fix for making a remote work with Rhythmbox using lirc. [08:00] MissingPerson: you might want to take a look at this: http://www.go2linux.org/ERROR-dbus-proxies-Introspect-error-exception-org-freedesktop-wicd [08:00] evilaim: you need to sandbox the user [08:00] grrrr .... ok folks - lets figure out last time about Ubuntu Desktop + RAID 1 + LVM [08:00] archstanton43, ammm then repharse your question properly [08:00] I've change the chroot.conf [08:00] Samekh, i dont know further [08:00] so do i have to make /boot partition out of raid ? [08:00] I added: tekky /home/tekky [08:00] and he can still cd .. [08:00] wasnik: I'd go for desktop. Unless of course you're using a laptop machine. :P [08:00] and get to the root and such [08:00] archstanton43, you want support for ubuntu or support for vmware? [08:00] MissingPerson: yes, but make sure you do a apt-get --purge remove wicd [08:00] but we've disabled the ls from /home so he can't see other users [08:00] abhijit im being told that its cheaper to go with suse than ubuntu [08:00] MissingPerson: that way your old config gets deleted too [08:01] MissingPerson: then just install normally [08:01] abhijit i i am going to host the distros on vmware and have enterprise support? [08:01] archstanton43, if you are looking for professional support for ubuntu then contact canonical [08:01] NoTownKasper: I am using a laptop. [08:01] NoTownKasper, lol i know that. i was just pointing it out, i found the answer to my question. [08:01] archstanton43, you you will get the details from them. www.canonical.com [08:01] NoTownKasper: is teher a special version for laptops [08:01] masen: ok...how do i do this from the livecd on my actual install? [08:01] RealOpty: OH! Duh, I'm sleepy...sorry about that. [08:02] abhijit ive looked does no one know the licensing model for enterprise support on here? [08:02] So i am going to install Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 from alternative install CD and i have some misundertandings now: 1) do i have to make /boot partition out of RAID 1 array, or i have to make it as splitted RAID 1 array ? [08:02] NoTownKasper, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/276401 [08:02] evilaim: http://www.unixwiz.net/techtips/chroot-practices.html [08:02] wasnik: I'd still go with desktop the installer should auto-detect all the specifics you'd need for a laptop install. Unless you're using a netbook, in which case, I don't know. [08:02] 2) do i have to give a boot flag to any of partitions ? [08:02] hello to every1 [08:02] archstanton43, all here are volenteers. not officla canonical person. you need to talk to officials of canonical regarding this. so contact them [08:02] MissingPerson: i'm not sure from a live cd, is there a reason you can't do it from your install? [08:03] NoTownKasper:Thanks for the help [08:03] masen: well, there is the fact that i can't connect to the internet because wicd farted out :-P [08:03] Hi all. I have automatically mounted two samba shares, but when I open files from there they are read-only. [08:03] who has a few minutes to help me please? [08:03] haha [08:03] that just looks confusing [08:03] !ask > skywalkgr [08:03] skywalkgr, please see my private message [08:03] wasnik: Actually, if you're using a netbook, there's a specific install for that, but I'd still go with a desktop package unless it's specifically a netbook. [08:03] i was install lucid lynx in my laptop. but my laptop's wireless device wont active. it wont work just like before. [08:04] I can't open the repository [08:04] it says my sources.list file is malformed [08:04] how can I fix that? [08:04] MissingPerson: do you have your ubuntu cd? [08:04] Go and set up you wireless drivers [08:04] venky10, this is how to avoid it... [08:04] dumb question [08:04] abhijit shame [08:04] sorry [08:04] archstanton43, excuse me? [08:04] No way of this being easier? [08:04] masen, well, i use linux mint, but i'm on my mint install cd right now [08:05] i have a copy of 10.04 (x64) but i cannot install into my desktop, today i bought a new hard disk (totally empty) and still cant find a solution [08:05] wieshka: No, unless you have a really buggy BIOS the boot flag is just ignored when using grub. [08:05] MissingPerson: do the remove without internet. make sure in your software sources you have the cd checked. then afterward (temporarily) apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome [08:05] Jordan_U: the problem is that again my install does not works properly [08:06] wieshka: In what way? [08:06] MissingPerson: that should install the basic netman from the cd, then you'll be able to get access to reinstall wicd [08:06] My problem: Ubuntu 10.04, samba is installed, I can share folders on my end and the other machines on the network can see me, and see the shared folders, but cannot access them. [08:06] evilaim: Its how to do chroot right so that its hard to get out [08:06] masen: alternatively, you could download wicd .deb packages, do the remove, then reinstall the packages offline [08:06] evilaim: I assumed you have the chroot setup [08:06] kk [08:06] Jordan_U: no matter - i now want to reinstall last time - so can you explain me in short how you would make RAID 1 + LVM [08:06] setup? [08:07] for ubuntu 10.04 desktop [08:07] that's probably the easiest for me most likely is the .deb option [08:07] NoTownKasper, anyways that first link solved my issues. remotes working now. [08:07] I am trying to get a canon 210 lide usb scanner recognised by sane on ubuntu 10.04 but no luck yet. Any guide or "how to" install this canon scanner? [08:07] MissingPerson: it was an afterthought...but definitely the simplest option [08:07] NoTownKasper: But would uploadin a netbook bersion of ubuntu on a laptop actually mess up the sound [08:08] !pm | wieshka [08:08] wieshka: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [08:08] thanks masen [08:08] wasnik: It might. That's why I suggested a desktop install for a regular laptop. [08:08] np, good luck w/ that [08:08] any1? [08:08] Jordan_U: okey :) [08:08] E: Malformed line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) [08:08] What is the name of the GUI tool that comes up when one goes to System -> Administration -> Users and Groups? [08:08] RealOpty: Glad to hear it. :) [08:08] what can I do about that? [08:08] skywalkgr, is it giving any error? [08:08] notown sound like u havent got the permissions right, make sure the user logging in to samba is allowed to access the folders [08:09] armyriad, users-admin [08:09] i am starting the installer (icon on the desktop) and at STEP 4 where you make the partitions there IS NO partitions there [08:09] WXZ: read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1053796.html [08:09] kalle_: Perms on the folders are open to everyone. [08:09] if i press forward it says "no root partition defined" or something like that [08:09] have u added the external user to a list also ? [08:10] Jordan_U, i was install lucid lynx in my laptop. but wireless device in it wont work just like before. [08:10] i want notepad++ for ubuntu [08:10] abhijit: Thanks. [08:10] Jordan_U, any idea? [08:10] WXZ: you can comment out that line with gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [08:10] Have you install the wireless drivers???? [08:10] kalle_: What list? The folders are open to everyone. [08:10] skywalkgr, i think you are trying since yesterday. try getting help from you local linux users group mailing list or forums [08:10] I think "everyone" is only those registered on your system not external users [08:10] armyriad, welcome. [08:10] ummm, which line? [08:11] Jordan_U, i trying to fix it but i have stuck enough. need your help [08:11] kalle_: No no, I mean the folders are set for guess access, meaning people who aren't members of a group on my machine. [08:11] WXZ: line 54 as stated in your error. [08:11] <[thor]> haha no kidding [08:11] sorry it says "no root filesystem is defined , please correct this from partitioning menu." [08:11] <[thor]> gah.. i get to do robot repair tomorrow [08:11] wieshka: This will be a long comment so tell me if it gets cut off. You should have two partitions on each disk, both of them raid members. The first partitions should be used to create /dev/md0, which should then be formatted ext3/4 (make sure there is no partition table, you do *not* want a /dev/md0p1). Then the second partitions should be used to create /dev/md1, then you should use LVM on top of /dev/md1 and make your root filesystem and swap out of the [08:12] armyriad, to check any such gui tool first open system monitor from system->administration then go to processes tab and then run that program you want to find name of [08:12] that's not going to make the rest of it messed up? [08:12] where are the archlinux chat? [08:12] hm I think there is some settings u need to tweak in the samba config file, i dont remember which ones tho, long time since i setup samba [08:12] skywalkgr, this error is getting as you jump inside partitioning dialoge or after setting up all partitions? [08:12] Jordan_U: - ok i will give try to mirrored /boot partition as md0 [08:12] mas: #archlinux [08:12] so [08:13] xchat doesn't like to save my username settings? [08:13] WXZ: i think no. you just have to put # infront of that particular line. i did that before, it didn't mess up anything. [08:13] ok [08:13] WXZ: did you read:http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1053796.html [08:13] didn't get a chance yet [08:13] do i have to setup the partitions before running the installer? from gparted for example? i thought the installer would do that for me automatically [08:13] WXZ: you better do. [08:13] alright [08:14] since you said that in such a threatening tone, I might as well [08:14] might as well = kind of have to === cerus is now known as firojj [08:14] skywalkgr, you can set them run time. i.e. after executing the installer [08:14] if i install ubuntu from disc on my windows machine, will i have the option of how big to make the ubuntu partition or does the install wipe windows off my machine? [08:14] Jordan_U: do i have to give boot flag option for partitions sda1 & sdb1 - what stands for /boot ? [08:14] goddard: you could try gedit as an alternative for notepad++ [08:14] My kernel is completely broken (kernel panic on boot), due to a bad compile. What do I have to do to boot in a live cd and re-download the exact kernel I was using previously? [08:14] or they should be autodetected ? [08:14] also did you chmod the rights for the folders ? not just setup in samba ? if only root can access then no "guest" user can access [08:14] skywalkgr, just try this - first have a free space from gparted and then try to run install process and then select that free space for your partitions [08:14] Edgan, your winows is safe [08:15] sorry [08:15] WXZ: i wasn't threating you, it was just a mere suggestion. :) [08:15] will do that thank you :) [08:15] EdMoney: You will have an option to install side by side, choosing how much space you want to allocate to each OS. [08:15] EdMoney, [08:15] Anyone has an idea why my links (such as urls in pidgin/evolution) open with the command /usr/lib/firefox-3.5/firefox (which is symlink to /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.10/firefox) although my version (as mentioned) is 3.6.10 and not 3.5? this is annoying to set manually everytime firefox updates as the update breaks the symlink (3.6.10 changes to 3.6.11 for example) [08:15] you can do a dir-all to see the permissions on the folders [08:16] wieshka: Unless you have a really buggy BIOS, no. But at the same time it doesn't hurt anything either. [08:16] is there any real downside to running Karmic Koala instead of Lucid Lynx? Lucid Lynx is not installing properly for some reason. I'm installing Ubuntu to do development with python, postgresql, etc... [08:16] hello everyone! if a superseded package is marked as "deleted from disk" in LP, i can no longer get it via apt-get, right? [08:17] EdMoney, choose the os or version whichever works for you [08:17] Jordan_U: huh - now my partitions with type raid shows up in raid configurtion in wrong ways - it shows only the size [08:17] no path [08:17] so raid cannot be created succesfully [08:17] EdMoney: what's the install problem? [08:17] i already tried to reload tables [08:17] htorque, try in #launchpad [08:17] kalle_: According to the properties everyone can access and modify the folder. [08:18] How can i create raid on one hardisk with two partitions? [08:18] !raid | smartviking [08:18] smartviking: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [08:18] ubottu: ty [08:18] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [08:18] ubottu: -.- [08:18] :/ [08:18] smartviking: That's generally not very usefull, and will likely be very slow. [08:19] oh lol, abhijit Youre the one, thanks xD [08:19] RAID on one hard disk? How is that at all useful? [08:19] smartviking, :) === manio_ is now known as manio [08:19] kalle_: Interesting though, I have two config programs for samba now. shares-admin and system-config-samba and the outputs from them don't match... [08:19] Jordan_U: Yeah, i'm just curious about how to do that :) [08:19] tensorpudding: i cant remember the exact install error i was getting yesterday, but something in a forum said try to install in nomodeset, that didnt work either, and then i tried using Wubi, it would install but then nothing would happen [08:19] My kernel is completely broken (kernel panic on boot), due to a bad compile. What do I have to do to boot in a live cd and re-download the exact kernel I was using previously? [08:20] TraumaPony: Hold shift during boot and just select your old kernel (unless you removed it). === Bridge| is now known as Bridge|A [08:20] EdMoney: You are already using Karmic? [08:21] Jordan_U: It too is broken from something unrelated [08:21] notownkasper: hm sound suspicious, are they both active or just one of them ? perhaps you can check which one responds to the active settings [08:21] tensorpudding: i was trying lynx first, hoping to get an easy install with Karmic [08:21] TraumaPony: Are you familiar with chroot? [08:21] EdMoney: It's not likely that Karmic will install and Lucid will not, except in the case of a hardware-specific regression [08:22] TraumaPony: take a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=157250 [08:22] Jordan_U: Yeah, I'm just not sure what exactly I need to mount etc [08:22] kalle_: It appears that only one is actually accessinig samba shares, shares-admin is listing my NFS shares...and since I don't have any configured...it's empty. lol [08:22] anyone have any information about securing a liveusb install? That is, replacing gdm's insistence on the "nopassword" user group, and replacing the ubuntu user? [08:22] tensorpudding: what do you suggest I do? retry installing from lucid and documenting all of the errors? [08:23] ok fixed, my preferred application for web was a custom command instead of being firefox [08:23] abhijit, thanks, found it out myself: if LP says "Removed from disk" then you cannot get it anymore via apt [08:23] !yay | htorque [08:24] htorque: Glad you made it! :-) [08:24] TraumaPony: Mount your root filesystem to /mnt/ (the mountpoint doesn't really matter) and if you have a separate /boot then mount it to /mnt/boot/ then run "sudo mount -o bind /dev/ /mnt/dev/ && sudo mount -o bind /proc/ /mnt/proc/ && sudo mount -o bind /sys/ /mnt/sys/ && sudo chroot /mnt/" [08:24] :) [08:24] Jordan_U: is it possible that i had that partition p1 becouse it shows up unusable sapce on raid array ? === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [08:24] wieshka: I don't understand the question. [08:24] Jordan_U: i also :D whatever - going further [08:26] Jordan_U: Thanks, I'll try it [08:26] TraumaPony: You're welcome. [08:26] JoeMaverickSett: Thanks too === _pg__ is now known as _pg_ [08:27] TraumaPony: you are welcome! :) [08:27] Hello canu add me na [08:27] what [08:29] Jordan_U: so now i have RAID1 array md0 - size 512 Mb, file system ext3, mountpoint /boot, and also i have RAID 1 array md1, in size of 499 Gb ... but it also shos 983 kb as unusable space - maybe this was that extra partition what i had before ? [08:29] in raid1 array i made LVM with wo logical volumes [08:29] two [08:31] wieshka: That's probably just unused space on between the partitions on the disk itself for alignment reasons of some sort. I wouldn't worry about it (and no that wouldn't cause the raid device to show up as partitioned, that requires explicitly creating a partition table). [08:32] Jordan_U: ok - now installing already a base system [08:32] lets see how it will work [08:32] Jordan_U: jo prefer GRUB2 or LILO ? [08:32] wieshka: GRUB2 [08:34] I have a laptop with a bad cdrom drive. The ubuntu install cd boots, but mid-installation some checksums fail. Is it possible to put the iso image on the hard drive and tell the installer to use that? The laptop doesn't seem to be able to boot from USB [08:35] hello, my friend was just installing ubuntu desktop and all of a sudden in the middle of the installation, his computer went to sleep! [08:36] anyone have any information about securing a liveusb install? That is, replacing gdm's insistence on the "nopassword" user group, and replacing the ubuntu user? [08:37] I have a touch screen laptop and my mouse keeps going to the top of the screen and is like clicking and holding, how do I make this stop????, by the way the touch screen is working but only with the pen. === _pg__ is now known as _pg_ [08:38] ptman: Yes, pass the parameter "iso/scan-filename=/path/to/iso/file" to the kernel parameters. [08:38] is the install suppose to let sleep mode happen? [08:38] kapace_, no [08:39] Jordan_U, and what should the parameter be, since no filesystems are mounted while in the bootloader? [08:39] what could have he done to let sleep mode take over? [08:39] ptman: The initramfs will mount all partitions on all devices and check each for a file matching the path you give. [08:40] does empathy store passwords in plains as pidgin does? [08:40] bye all! have a good day! [08:43] ptman: If you want to install to that same hard drive, and you have more than 1 GIG of RAM, you'll want to also add the "toram" kernel parameter. toram will load the ISO completely into RAM so that the parition containing the iso doesn't need to stay mounted during the install process. [08:44] kapace_: i think you should take a look at this: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9841248 [08:45] hi all; issue with wlan connections; always i get the bad password and the pass is ok [08:45] JoeMaverickSett, ok thanks, ill tell him [08:46] kapace_: you are welcome. if it doesn't solve the problem, you can always come back to this channel for more help/info. [08:47] ever since i connect/reconnect or reboot, my dns is reseted to the ip of my modem, but that makes the internet slow, i want to put a specific dns, where do i configure ? it doesn't matter if I edit /etc/resolv.conf it will be reseted. also, pppoeconf is not an option anymore since I upgraded to another ISP that now configuring internet to work is about set the modem ip as router and thats it, i wonder what software is running and editting my resolv.conf and h === ceros_ is now known as asvalta [08:50] Does anyone know how i can install from aptitude from a livecd to my native install? i can't install wicd from my native install as i had to uninstall it due to problems, and it has dependencies that dpkg tries to go to the internet for. so i need to do it this way [08:51] xjkx: you might want to take a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1565472&postcount=33 [08:53] JoeMaverickSett: thanks [08:53] Jordan_U, that alone didn't seem to do it, it still tries to load from the cdrom (which I use to boot) [08:53] xjkx: you're welcome. hope it works out for you! :) [08:54] Does anyone know how i can install from aptitude from a livecd to my native install? i can't install wicd from my native install as i had to uninstall it due to problems, and it has dependencies that dpkg tries to go to the internet for. so i need to do it this way [08:55] ptman: It might only look for the iso if it doesn't find an Ubuntu CD in the drive (this option is normally used without a burned CD at all). [08:55] ??? [08:55] I tried taking the cd out after the initrd had loaded, didn't help [08:55] MissingPerson: i think you can do that if you go to System> Software Sources> *tab* Ubuntu Software Sources and click on install from CD/DVD [08:56] Jordan_U, would you happen to know where the installer mounts the iso? I could just do that by hand from the terminal [08:56] any one in china? [08:56] ptman: You could boot with Super GRUB2 Disk instead. If you put the iso file in a directory named "/boot-isos" (in the root of the partition) then it will even detect it and set it up to boot automatically (though you'll need to add "toram" if you want to use that). [08:56] JoeMaverickSett: Tried to do that, it will not install from CD for me. It just keeps telling me to insert CD/DVD to install from CD/DVD despite the fact that i had my install disc inserted [08:56] hey guys i just need help with samba (just wanted to know if we change the password for a user) who is added to samba wht happens to his samba password [08:56] i am looking to support ext3/4 in a program i have. is there a portable ext3/4 library floating around anywhere that i may use as a base? [08:57] does it get synced with that persons account [08:57] so what I am needing is to enter terminal from my live disc and install onto my HD install from here [08:57] t3cki3: samba supports a multitue of different password databases, depends on which one you use [08:57] MissingPerson: how about *tab* Other Software Sources then ADD Cd-rom? have you tried that? [08:57] magentron: smbpassword [08:58] i mean smbpasswd [08:58] ptman: It mounts the iso to /cdrom, then mounts the squashfs within /cdrom to /rofs, then mounts a tmpfs (can't remember what mount point) and then mounts a unionfs of /rofs and the tmpfs as the root filesystem. [08:59] sudo smbpasswd -a "user" [08:59] Isn't UBUNTU a LINUX? [08:59] JoeMaverickSett: Tried that, and after 4 times of waiting for my livecd to load after trying certain things, asking for help, shutting down livecd, going back to native install, it not working, going back into livecd again, i'd rather just get into my HD build from here to install since i do have network connectivity from livecd [08:59] Jordan_U, argh, better try super grub2 disk then === Rodemire is now known as sfiso [09:00] MissingPerson: i'm sorry i couldn't help you more. you could probably wait for someone with more skills than me to help you. [that is all i can do/know for you now.] [09:00] magnetron: anything ??? [09:01] ok, i'll repost then: Does anyone know how i can install from aptitude from a livecd to my native install? i can't install wicd from my native install as i had to uninstall it due to problems, and it has dependencies that dpkg tries to go to the internet for. so i need to do it this way [09:01] can anyone help....?? i did a sudo smbpasswd -a "user" to add the user to samba..... [09:01] ShredMaster/quit [09:02] not if i change that users password under normal mode, does his password for samba also change ? or do i have to change that seperately [09:02] now if i change that users password under normal mode, does his password for samba also change ? or do i have to change that seperately [09:03] Hi all. I have automatically mounted two samba shares, but when I open files from there they are read-only. This is *not* through the nautilus "Network" interface. [09:04] lorenzosu modify your samba conf [09:04] madfox, you mean server side? [09:04] lorenzosu you need to specify the shares as writeable server side [09:05] madfox, I have no admin access to the servers: they're corporate. [09:05] madfox, The strange thig is that if I connect to Places -> Network it works [09:05] lorenzosu well, then you dont exactly have any legal alternative outside of convincing them then. [09:05] lorenzosu so what? [09:06] lorenzosu *what be the problem? [09:06] Hello, Is there any way to gan any version of gcc-4.2 installed on ubuntu 10.04? [09:06] Does anyone know how i can install from aptitude from a livecd to my native install? i can't install wicd from my native install as i had to uninstall it due to problems, and it has dependencies that dpkg tries to go to the internet for. so i need to do it this way [09:06] http://live.gnome.org/AlarmClock/Blueprints/BetterIcons [09:07] kamiro87 go to the gnu site and find the ftp section for their binutils and download the dated version, compile ect. [09:07] is there a list, telling u what each icon mean? [09:07] thanks guys.. the password for samba syncs if i change the password for the user... tested it sucessfully [09:07] magnetron: thanks for the help [09:07] meatbun have you tried going to the gnome site and finding out? [09:07] ah. ok. i was hoping there was a shorter path but oh whell. [09:08] thanks [09:08] kamiro87: you could go to System > Synaptic Package Manager > Quick Search *gcc-4.2* [09:08] kamiro87 you can try an apt-get install gcc-4.2 though [09:09] i did that. says it has no installation candidate. [09:09] trying the quick search. [09:09] apt-cache search gcc [09:09] ? [09:10] then aptitude install [09:10] the package you need :) [09:10] not sure where to ask this question, is there a way to speed up the download speed of streamed videos in Firefox, specifically youtube videos. [09:11] at05gt, i think no unless you upgrade isp [09:11] apt-cache search gcc4.* shows only 4.1 4.3 and 4.4 [09:11] at05gt: The bottleneck there is almost certainly your ISP connection. You can select lower qualities but that's about it. [09:11] Katsumi32: i have 16Mb download speed I just tested [09:12] and it takes like 10 minutes to stream a 6 minute 720p youtube clip, never had that issue in windows [09:13] at05gt, have you tested your internet speed under ubuntu ? is it as fast as in windows? [09:13] under ubuntu its faster [09:13] windows i capped at 10 Mb [09:13] ubuntu it hits 16 [09:13] yet youtube clips are slower now [09:14] at05gt, so its issue not with ubuntu or internet connection just wih you tube [09:14] the seerver you downloading from is slow thats why youe getting slow download [09:14] Bonjour, comment je me connect au chat francais svp ? [09:15] Tobear91, yeah [09:15] Katsumi32: i was using Firefox in windows and it was quick 10 min HD clip took maybe 2 mins to stream, with firefox in Ub it takes longer then the video runs for to stream it fully [09:15] ubuntu-fr Tobear91 [09:15] ubuntu-fr [09:15] !fr | Tobear91 [09:15] Tobear91: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[09:16] Jordan_u: how do i test the speed of that, I usually go to Speedtest.net [09:17] at05gt are you saying that all youtube videos work slower on ubuntu than windows? [09:18] at05gt: may be an old flash plugin? [09:18] yes [09:18] the flash plugin is up to date according to firefox [09:18] at05gt: Try using Google Chrome / Firefox beta and http://youtube.com/html5 [09:18] firefox: keyword.URL=https://www.ixquick.de/do/metasearch.pl?query= how to make it behave like the google entry? e.g. redirection to wikipedia with "wiki keyword" [09:19] chrome is slower then firefox [09:19] at05gt: nope [09:19] it is on youtube [09:19] at05gt: If html5 videos load faster than flash videos you know the problem lies somewhere with flash. [09:19] no [09:19] at05gt: I have the same problem.... I use the html5 beta and it's fine ;) [09:19] firefox is slower than chrome [09:20] maybe for you jatt but not for me [09:21] hi guys, i have compiled dom0 kernel on Ubuntu 10.04, i have updated the grub, rebooted and i got "invalid magic number, you need to load kernel first" [09:21] does somebody have a hint?
