I get asked a lot about it though. I say that I just don't worry about it. But are there any concerns that I should have, and what is the optimum response to give someone who asks about this issue who is a non Linux user? === Out`Of`Control is now known as Viper [00:28] hello? [00:28] how do i revert to a previous insstall of ubuntu? It seemest update i applied has broken my HID/USSB buffers [00:28] I am never concerned about defraging my hard drive either. How come I don't have to do that? [00:29] i just got ubuntu last night, so i'm kinda a newbie at this right now. can someone help me with something? [00:29] I have two SATA drives I'm trying to mount through the Thermaltake BlacX Duet (an external eSATA/USB HD dock) via the USB connection. One is for audio files, the other for video. Only one is recognized, however -- the video hd. Both are formatted NTFS, and both are same make/model. I've tried connecting only one at a time, swapping them out, changing positions in the dock. Nothing I've [00:29] done has worked to help linux recognize the Audio drive. When I plug the dock in to my Windows machine, both drives come up fine. What should I look for to help fix this?

[00:32] Can someone take a stab at my mounting issue? [00:32] or rather an fstab ? [00:33] @professorbacon huehuehue [00:33] lol [00:33] Whatever will get the job done, I suppose. [00:33] :P [00:34] so....can someone help with with my cd issue? :p [00:35] JackTheRipper: browse to /media/cd [00:36] i'd help but seeing as all ofevices seemed to be working a a depreciated level === rbow is now known as rbowes [00:36] i should also mention that i have Xubuntu, slightly different than Ubuntu [00:36] JackTheRipper: shouldn't make a difference for cds [00:37] alright let me try....

[00:40] @well_laid_lawn: seems i don't have a cd folder within media :O [00:40] hello ppl. i'm looking for a good book as beginner in programming PICs in C language so any recommendations? tyvm.. or i went off-topic to whichever reasons, then suggest me a good channel to discuss this issue. === turtle_ is now known as turtle_zz [00:41] JackTheRipper: is there an entry in the file /etc/fstab for the cd drive? [00:42] hey im kind of new to web hosting.. whats a best practice in providing clients with web services ? [00:42] well_laid_lawn: you mean the last line? if so, i have this: [00:42] /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [00:43] @JackTheRipper I was going to say "Restart your computer!" but then I remembered this wasn't windows. ha, ha, ha. [00:43] JackTheRipper: that's for the floppy - should be something for the cd in there [00:43] yeah i have nothing regarding cds in there :/ [00:43] can someone suggest a good book for programming PICs in C language? i'm a beginner in that field, PICs thing, but i know how to do programming in C. plz help & thx [00:44] mgarrett: lmao [00:45] I'm not full of any useful advice, but I try to provide comidic support, because we all know linux is unbearably frustrating for the first 10 years you use it [00:45] well_laid_lawn: is there something i can do to add an entry for cds? that seems to be missing for me [00:46] does anyone know of a good tutorial to help me create a SVN server with apache to be able to use through https? [00:46] JackTheRipper: sure - try something like /dev/cdrom /media/cd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0 [00:46] man, i got used to it already, but the thing is that i want to know how to program those PICs to do some projects in mind so i just want to know a good book ( a source ) that i can rely on as a beginner then moving on to more advanced books which discusses the same thing. [00:47] well_laid_lawn: you mean like just copy and paste that onto fstab? [00:48] * g33kZombie /* No Comment */ [00:48] * g33kZombie 0ut [00:48] JackTheRipper: yep - try in terminal gksu gedit /etc/fstab to get write permission for it [00:48] « /nick A71KR117 [00:48] !gksudo [00:48] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [00:49] I broke my path variable :( [00:49] How does I fix it? [00:49] @well_laid_lawn he could also just use nano. does xubuntu have gedit? [00:49] StSapphire: usually fixes when you close and open the terminal or reboot, depending on what you edited [00:49] mgarrett: oops - forgot it was xubuntu [00:49] seyfarth: I think I accidentally ran 'set PATH' without anything else [00:50] JackTheRipper: yep - try in terminal gksu mousepad /etc/fstab to get write permission for it [00:50] Hello, can anyone help me with the following error? "/etc/bind/named.conf.local:12: missing ';' before 'controls' " [00:50] StSapphire: straight in the terminal? just close and reopen it. the terminal has a startup config file that sets PATH automagically [00:50] Man, I hate the initial update for ubuntu. [00:50] I've been able to get my DHCP server running, but I'm missing this piece in DNS. [00:50] -_______________- 300MB update on little DSL is icky [00:50] seyfarth: Oh good, thanks. Will I need to re-export the path variables I was trying to set, too? [00:51] wow i feel like even more of a noob now XD. i got lost. you mean i have to type gksu mousepad /etc/fstab in the terminal, then add in the cd entry in fstab? [00:51] ehcah, look for the file /etc/binf/named.conf.local and add a ";" before the word controls...that must close a "section" [00:52] bind* [00:52] I'll try that. [00:52] JackTheRipper: fstab is a system file so you need admin rights to edit it - gksu gives you that right [00:52] hello when using locate it is not searching my mounted drives. these are mounted at boot via fstab entries. what can i use that is similar to locate (i have cron run updatedb every night at 2 am so that my db will be fresh) [00:52] postgrresql trace during boot a cause? [00:53] I need some help. My system won't boot, all I get is a blinking cursor. . .

[00:54] ehcah, try to pastebin the /etc/bind/named.conf.local and send me link [00:55] no i still can't see the cd folder in media :( [00:55] hello [00:55] hello everyone [00:55] i had no idea linux would be so frustrating >.< [00:55] I need some help. My system won't boot, all I get is a blinking cursor. . .

[00:57] Linux runs a lot easier on my netbook [00:57] win7 runs like a retarded boy in the olympics [00:57] Hello. [00:57] JackTheRipper: you need to run the command sudo mount -av [00:57] Linux is like a robot, hard as $#!% to set up, but then you can make it shoot lasers and whatever [00:57] screen resolution problem here [00:57] any VOLUNTEEER available ?

So probably just need to edit your xorg files [01:00] hahah your words come like a dinosaur hehe [01:00] JackTheRipper: that warning means you need to open the fstab file and go to the end of the last line and hit enter the save the file [01:00] new2lucid, see my post above to the wrong person ;) [01:00] im not into any xorgssss [01:00] to give it a newline at the end [01:00] oops [01:00] sorry [01:00] I used to have that issue with 8.04/8.10 and my GeForce 8500.

The DVI input is on the TV and the HDMI is on my laptop, so I'm using an HDMI to DVI cable. I'm using the proprietary nvidia drivers. In Windows, I can do a resolution of 1920x1080 on it, but in Ubuntu I can only do a resolution of 1360x768. Does anyone have an idea why? [01:49] CkhiKuzad, ill give credit to paying attention, but i have no clue what ur talking about [01:49] chogydan: ppa? [01:49] let me see if I can track it down [01:49] dan__: If you're having maverick issues, head over to #ubuntu+1 [01:49] ThomasB2k, you probably have to set the Resolution manually [01:50] SubCool, it's a program similar to wine, but you have to pay for it.

Only one is recognized, however -- the video hd. Both are formatted NTFS, and both are same make/model. I've tried connecting only one at a time, swapping them out, changing positions in the dock. Nothing I've [01:52] done has worked to help linux recognize the Audio drive. When I plug the dock in to my Windows machine, both drives come up fine. What should I look for to help fix this?

[02:05] I thought maybe it was something as simple as installing a driver or something from Jolicloud, but apparently that's not possible [02:05] hi .. in xterm I can press page up to go up on the terminal , but not in byobu - anyone know how I can do that ?

[02:25] there anyway to add a user with a password all in one line i tried -p with no luck [02:26] SnakDoc: You could always cheat and use something like chpasswd (therefore allowing a chained command) [02:26] is there a way to check all dependencys for a program b4 u config it [02:26] SnakDoc: can you elaborate on what you're trying to do? [02:27] hi all [02:27] Sargun_Screen: i have a list of names to creat accounts for i wrote a bash script to read in file of username and was just wanting to make them with a default password [02:27] can anyone teach me how to use weplab? [02:28] SnakDoc: definitely check out chpasswd then [02:28] SnakDoc: can't you run a few commands per username? [02:28] batch-set passwords [02:28] there are like 20 of them and i perfer not to Sargun_Screen [02:28] SnakDoc: why can't you use the -p option [02:28] I have a netbook with an atheros ar8151 ethernet and a broadcom wifi card, so cannot burn to disk either and install packages like that either [02:29] Sargun_Screen: not a clue isn't working for me tried on 2 different boxes [02:29] so usb stick are there packages for these network cards? [02:29] SnakDoc: can you give me the exact command you're running [02:29] is the password shadowed [02:30] i cant seem to get my secondary monitor res to 1280x1024, and i have been able to in the past, anyone have ideas on why the option isnt there anymore? im using nvidia 8400GS [02:30] crroct me if i am wrong but ctrl-alt-backspace use to restart xserv [02:30] Sargun_Screen: i was trying adduser -pRandomPass username [02:31] > 'evening all, can someone tell me the search terms or program i'd use for "remap key to run a program in xwindows"? i've got the keycode, etc. just not sure how to make it happen [02:31] I see there are packages you can download from websites but was wondering if there are packages so they will be updated with ubuntu as it updates [02:31] shatly: you're right it used to... [02:31] how do i make it do it again [02:31] like it should [02:31] !ppa | cjae [02:31] cjae: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [02:31] Ok- bad question, but i dont have time for the BS. Airpcap, i see there are no specific drivers to it- Infact it is shoooo shunned, which leads me to believe there is an exploit or something. I am trying to find the drivers, can anyone point in me in the right directions, and DO NOT said their homepage. For some reason, every goole search leads to that. [02:32] shatly: I think the key combo now is alt+k+prtscr [02:32] SnakDoc: nah, try useradd -p '$1$VkXpH4MF$5R6oQVKgqdJALRI28Gw87.' $USERNAME [02:32] xangua: so ... are ppa's namespaced, etc? I saw a ppa for "namebar" and was a bit confused by it [02:33] that should make their password "password" [02:33] hey, anyone know how I can get a process back into the foreground using its name? rather than its id? [02:33] SubCool, what does airpcap have to do with ubuntu [02:33] HI guys, im wondering if it's a good idea to upgrade ubuntu remix karmic to lucid?? [02:34] Sargun_Screen: adduser not == to useradd that fixed it [02:34] dormantoden: pidof? [02:34] SnakDoc: okay. [02:34] tucemiux, try the live cd. please dont poll here [02:34] tucemiux: defiitively NO(!!) [02:34] SnakDoc: so you're happy? [02:34] Sargun_Screen: the pass have to be in shadow format [02:34] Anyone familiar with older releases of Fedora? (core 6) [02:34] SnakDoc: yes, the makepasswd program can do that for you [02:34] can i create an ubuntu liveusb from iso using dd ? [02:34] tucemiux: i just up / downgraded, it is crashy and they changed the launcher quite significantly [02:35] lylat, try #fedora [02:35] rames: perfect, how would i use that in conjunction with fg ? [02:35] thank you baz [02:35] lylat, yes but this is an ubuntu channel [02:35] rames, so you had to downgrade remix in your netbook? [02:35] bazhang, need a driver [02:35] !console [02:35] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [02:35] rames: can i just do fg pidof foobar? [02:35] can i create an ubuntu liveusb from iso using dd ? [02:35] DormantOden: backticks are good to learn about ... try "echo xxx `ls` xxx" [02:35] SubCool, the package name is airpcap? [02:35] hicham, try unetbootin [02:36] bazhang, the product, network management [02:36] thanks Sargun_Screen and yes i am very happy just what i needed [02:36] USB devices having an issue with HID speed several dropped packets and signals [02:36] DormantOden: and then "echo xxx $( ls ) xxx" ... (more properly subshell, backticks are a little dangerous due to nesting) [02:36] bazhang, i sort of have a netbook, i cant use the CD [02:36] DormantOden: but i think fg works better with the output of "jobs", not pids, exactly [02:37] SubCool, this is for what purpose? cracking wifi passwords? [02:37] hicham: dd wont work for that. It can work for a FEW other disrtos. but not ubuntu. === douglas is now known as speedrunner [02:37] tucemiux, live usb then unetbootin [02:38] rames: hmm,ok. Im just wondering how I can grab a process in the background and send it a command. This seemed like a good idea? you think its the best way? [02:38] thanks bazhang Dr_Willis [02:38] DormantOden: it looks like it might be tricky to do what you're wanting to do... [02:38] just want to shut down a server cleanly, rather than just killall -9 it =P [02:39] can someone please check to see if they can select the accept button in this page or if it just sends them in random loop http://partner.atheros.com/Download.aspx?id=125 [02:39] DormantOden: try "jobs | grep PROGRAM | awk -- '{print $3}' " [02:39] bazhang, it has multiple uses, im using it for survaying. Any my stupid laptop wont use its onboard or my pciexpress wlan card. [02:40] bazhang, ya, i know the possibilities are crazy, but im not that far yet (obviously) [02:40] DormantOden: actually in that case if you're trying to send a signal to a running program, not a backgrounded process (backgrounded == "ctrl-z / suspended in shell") [02:40] ah, no im using & when running it [02:42] DormantOden: ah... well, the output of "jobs" is nice to know about anyway, but "kill -1 $( pidof PROGRANAME )" should do what you want [02:42] oh sweet, using android irc client to connect. [02:42] rames: that would kill it again though? [02:42] HomerPdx75, what kinda phone u got? [02:42] DormantOden: kill -1 is the "hup / restart" signal [02:43] so it would stop like it should? [02:43] DormantOden: sending signals (man kill) uses a pid... pidof FOO gives you the pid of program FOO [02:43] mytouch, rooted and installed cyangenmod [02:44] ok, i need help with my nvidia drivers, they were working up tell today, my xorg error file is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/498125/ [02:44] DormantOden: or you can say "jobs" then "fg 1", etc. (should bring it to foreground) [02:45] Hello everybody! [02:45] quit [02:45] anyway ... does anybody know what program to use to map a key to run a program, i'm having trouble with the google [02:45] you need to reinstall your nvidia driver. [02:46] HomerPdx75: i sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current [02:46] Is anyone here knowledgeable of LVPM to migrate Wubi to a partition? [02:46] and then reinstalled [02:46] and rebooted 2-3 times alredy [02:46] sorry limited typing. using irc on android. [02:47] hmm [02:48] hey there- can someone explain the logic to me behind extended vs primary partitions? I have 820gb left and I need 2 partitions but I have too many primary partitions, so I need to create an extended partition to make this work. What I'm confused over is the extended partition is 820gb and the next one is 820 too. wow? I wanted 20/800. [02:48] HomerPdx75, ya- what kinda phone, im looking to get a linuxUser friendly phone. Staring at the epic, - trying to stay away from iphone. As much as i want it. what do u have? [02:48] Can someone tell me, or point me to a website that tells me what happens on a users first login? [02:48] Roasted: you can have 4 primaries Max.. one of those can be a 'extended' that holds 'logicals' [02:48] Roasted: the job of the extened is to hold logicals... [02:49] Dr_Willis, wait.. hold that thought... [02:49] ahh I think I get it. [02:49] The sole purpose of extendeds.. is to hold one or more logicals. [02:49] I thought the extended partition ITSELF was a useable partition. I didn't realize it was just a "place holder" for the other 2 partitions I needed. [02:50] Dr_Willis, so overall to have root/home, I should have extended - root/home. I thought root WAS the extended partition in this case. [02:50] Nope. [02:50] May somebody help me please? When they get the chance that is. [02:50] (P1)(P2)(P3)(P4=Extended, that holds 1+ Logicals) [02:50] !helpme | BobPOW [02:50] BobPOW: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [02:51] BobPOW: just go ahead and ask and if someone knows they will answer [02:51] Dr_Willis, right, so if I have an extended partition and I need to house root/home yet, I would have P4=extended, root (logi) and home (logi), both under P4 [02:52] Roasted: yep. [02:52] gotcha [02:52] thanks bro! [02:52] BobPOW, it's *free* channel, so shut up [02:52] st__: what was that for? and please be polite [02:52] lets be nice and flaunt optimism instead of hate... [02:52] st__, stop that [02:53] stop picking on me [02:53] is there a file I can edit to control what runs at startup....in arch I can edit rc.conf and control what daemons get loaded [02:53] !attitude | st__ [02:53] st__: start being polite [02:53] st__: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [02:55] Dr_Willis, Is there any performance differences between partition types? [02:55] Roasted: shouldent be. [02:56] Roasted: they way it 'works' now is just how its 'evoloved' over theyears to make up for advances in PC tech/disk/sizes. :) [02:56] I am new to Ubuntu. I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on my bedroom computer. It has no internet connection. I downloaded the Wine 1.2 bz2 file off my computer in my den. So using the den computer, I decompress the file using 7zip, and now I have a Wine tar file. I put the Wine tar file on my bedroom Ubuntu computer via USB stick. I extracted the tar file, which gave me a folder full of... [02:56] ...Wine files. What do I do with this folder? [02:56] Roasted: You could argue that the front of the HD is afaster the the rear. and so on. but its not really noticeable. [02:56] BobPOW, #ubuntu+1 for 10.10 [02:56] Dr_Willis, yeahh. I just never dealt with extended partitions. I just moved vista to win 7 and win 7 has those two partitions, so it forced me (if I want partitions split) to have to use extended. [02:56] Dr_Willis, just wanted to learn as much as I could while I was having to do it is all ;) [02:56] BobPOW: you dont want to use bz's you want to get teh proper .deb files.. and personally i would run a cable to update/upgrade/install things... [02:57] Thanks Bazhang [02:57] Roasted: check out the wikipedia pages for Disk partioning. :) good info [02:57] BobPOW: just run sudo apt-get install wine in terminal [02:57] AndrewMC: no internet connection he said. :) [02:57] AndrewMC, wine in repo too old to be useful [02:58] Dr_Willis: Where can I fine the Wine 1.2 deb file? [02:58] I am trying to find a command that will querry hard drive stats. What command is optimum? [02:58] AndrewMC, he's using maverick #ubuntu+1 for support [02:59] BobPOW: yes what bazhang says is true please go /join #ubuntu+1 for support with Maverick [02:59] BobPOW: try following t his guide - http://beans.seartipy.com/2006/05/06/update-or-install-applications-on-debianubuntu-without-an-internet-connection/ [03:00] Ok, I'm at #ubuntu+1, it would be helpful to chat with me there. All these chat windows are getting hard to follow [03:01] BobPOW: and there's another guide here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=573238 ... it should help you ask ~better~ questions [03:03] BobPOW: basically you have to determine all the packages that "some-program-foo" needs (apt-get --print-urls stuff) [03:03] I have a public gpg key in my desktop I want to use in other location (desktop) Do i just copy the public key to my desktop, or do I have to do some kind ox exporting ? [03:03] nothing like a good dose of non useful advice [03:04] BobPOW: then get them (the wget stuff) probably onto your usb stick and then run the "dpkg-scanpackages ... Packages.gz" thing [03:04] how can I install build-essential without internet connection? ubuntu 10.04 [03:04] cjae: is on the cd [03:04] maco: ok under? [03:05] BobPOW: finally, you teach the computer that doesn't have the internet connection that those packages are available on your USB stick (sources.list ... deb file:/.... stuff) [03:05] cjae: just add the cd as a repository in software sources then apt-get as usual [03:05] cjae: pop in the live cd (don't reboot) and then sudo apt-get install build-essential [03:05] maco: I have an usb stick with an iso made with pendrive linux for a netwbook [03:05] yeah, you have to add it as a repos like maco said [03:06] BobPOW: and finally-finally you can install them - apt-get update && apt-get install some-program-foo ... lots of steps but you can follow the instructions on the guides [03:06] maco: no cd drive [03:06] cjae: bleh. um in that case mount the stick and run "find . -name *.deb" [03:06] cjae: from within where its mounted [03:06] cjae: itll show you all the debs and you can install gcc and whatever else you need [03:06] k thanks [03:07] cjae: you'd use sudo dpkg -i /path/to/your/deb for all of me [03:07] *em [03:11] Can someone tell me, or point me to a website that tells me what happens on a users first login? In relation to this: http://serverfault.com/questions/183054/users-not-added-untill-the-logon-first-ubuntu [03:13] is maco a girl?? or is this someone else [03:13] I am trying to set up x11vnc to be an always on vnc server that persists when switching users and rebooting [03:13] kevdog: last i checked id had a few many birthdays for that but yes [03:13] Thanks for helping me out. I need to get off the computer for now. See you all later. [03:14] maco: honored to be in your presence since you've been mia for awhile [03:14] kevdog: no i havent [03:14] I think I want to use -inetd but I can't find any documentation on it that I understand [03:14] maco: Ok maybe it was just bad luck on my part :) sorry [03:15] Is there any way I can acess touchpad data in my c program? [03:17] i need help with installing a usb ethernet card [03:17] guys, for some reason my cpufreq stopped scalling. In scaling_min_speed always resets on restart to 2 ghz, and ondemand governor always runs at full speed [03:17] cpu is core2duo 2ghz [03:19] the ondemand governor is not used anymore [03:19] anyway i have the driver source files i just need them compiled into a deb so i can install them to my ubuntu installation [03:21] hi,im needing to install flash player do i just install the linux version? [03:21] If I install Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop, can I also install lots of modern software? [03:21] ubuntufan: Yes, but that request is vague [03:21] boywonder: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [03:22] Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 don't work very well on my laptop and don't support Wi-Fi and ACPI. Can I install 9.10 and get lots of the perks I would get from 10.04 and 10.10? [03:22] xangua, cool thanks [03:22] ubuntufan: no [03:22] i have a windows xp CD i want to put onto a flash drive so i can reinstall it on a netbook that does not have a CD drive. has anyone done this using ubuntu tools? i tried usb-creator-gtk but it gave an error. [03:23] jeremyn: it only work in linux distros, not sure if it's specially focused in ubuntu [03:23] xangua, file not found? [03:24] you also want to go to ##windows [03:24] boywonder: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [03:24] em soz download failed xangua [03:24] xangua: i am not sure the windows people could help, i am trying to create the usb drive using ubuntu so i need ubuntu software to do it. [03:25] xangua: but i agree that usb-creator-gtk did not like working with a windows CD [03:25] xangua, that worked thanks alot [03:25] jeremyn: you can do it with command line [03:26] extraclassic: what software/commands should i use? [03:26] jeremyn: $dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sd[x] [03:27] extraclassic: so you are saying i should make it two step, first get an iso off the CD, then use your suggestion to put the iso onto the usb drive? [03:27] never understood why some people use dd when I thought cp would do the same thing [03:27] yeah, you need an iso [03:28] extraclassic: i'll give it a shot, thanks for the idea [03:28] morning [03:28] no problem [03:30] !java [03:30] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java.

[03:40] http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/18/45 yes it did :( [03:41] is there a way to tell sshd to only listen on connections from localhost:? (this is for intsalling a git server) [03:42] what is the irc for c language [03:42] ##c [03:42] on freenode [03:43] there are other channels on other networks probably [03:43] hi, what is the recommended way to upgrade an existing (faulty:networking not working) install of jaunty to lucid ? .. on that machine i am able to ping an ipaddress, but cannot resolve any hostname (eg: google.com) :( [03:43] typemore: presumably using /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow, I think [03:43] sounds like a dns problem to me [03:44] i tried to put in timewarnercable's dns servers manually in resolv.conf, no go [03:45] dsajoel: try something else like google public DNS [03:45] opendns -- Id set up your network connection manually at command line just to verify and see if everything works as a troubleshooting step and then go from there [03:45] dsajoel, try something like: $ dig @ somedomain.com [03:46] that will check for somedomain.com in "" [03:46] eg: dig @8.8.8.8 google.com [03:49] pepee, your command yeilded with (1 server found) google.com. 300 IN A 72.14.204.99 etc. [03:49] i had tried dig@8.8.8.8 google.com [03:50] dsajoel, well, try putting this servers in /etc/resolv.conf : 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (google DNS servers) [03:50] kevdog, i'm trying static for now .. i tried everything i knew from network settings front, finally thought I'd irc .. this is def beyond my understanding .. [03:50] if anyone knows much about libpcap, please PM me [03:51] pepee, line1 should be nameserver 8.8.8.8 and line2 8.8.4.4 .. correct?

[03:58] dsajoel, I don't really know what is the problem, but I don't think you need to reinstall [03:58] define extrange and 'bothe them' [03:58] i would like to know if someone has had luck upgrading jaunty to lucid .. from say the ubuntu cd ? [03:58] Why are there upstart jobs that also have sysvinit scripts? Like openssh ships with both init/ssh and init.d/ssh [03:58] And if you start it with init.d you can't use upstart commands [03:58] xangua, booting wierd [03:58] assuming apache/other programs aren't disturbed .. in other words i dont have to format the machine [03:58] AbhiJit: indicator-me [03:58] dsajoel, you need the "alternate" cd [03:59] xangua, flashing scren when it didnt before [03:59] I have a question.

[05:05] axisys, you can make suggestion about ubottu in #ubuntu-bots [05:05] Roey: wow! lot more powerful [05:05] AbhiJit: ok [05:05] Can anyone help w/ a minor samba issue? The #samba room is dead. [05:05] heh, I hope it's in lucid! [05:05] axisys: cool [05:06] axisys: g'night! [05:06] Q#W%$#%@#%@ [05:07] i never thought operationg without a cd rom would be so hard [05:07] Pentium3: Macs do not run Linux. The run a form of Unix. A lot of program have already been ported to OS X but they often require the X11 app for their display. [05:07] hi I'm in the middle of resizing a partition on a usb hdd via gparted and it's been a couple hours now. what can I expect? [05:07] Pentium3: http://www.macports.org/ [05:07] Anyone happen to know about the FoxyTunes/TwittyTunes Firefox extension? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100921210006AAL13K2 [05:08] Whammo: check /var/logs/syslog [05:08] Pentium3: However Linux and what OS X are is very different. [05:08] Whammo: you can expect it to either finish, freeze, or throw an error [05:08] mr_chris: thanks, by the way, do you know where xorg.conf is located? [05:08] Whammo: I just had a mishap with unetbootin where the dpkg locks could be acquired [05:08] is there a method of creating 'meta folders'? Like those windows 7 libraries [05:08] Whammo: and it hung forever [05:09] Pentium3: It's no longer used. Most everything is handled automatically now. See here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config [05:09] wolter, mount -o bind [05:09] Whammo: I didn't know it wasn't doing anything until I checked syslogs [05:09] Jesdisciple: i see [05:09] guys, Need little help designing a ideal init process [05:09] for the linux describution [05:10] especually the signal handling part [05:10] Pentium3: Oh wait. You said OS X to Linux. That's even more difficult. [05:10] Whammo: And that would be /var/log/syslogs - sorry [05:10] init-banda: this isn't the channel to ask for that, this channel is for ubuntu support questions === AndrewMC is now known as SpockVulcan [05:11] The closest thing is the gnustep project. OS X using Objective C, what it uses for display is entirely different, and there's a lot of OS X specific stuff that goes on. [05:11] hmmm... what package is gtk-config in? [05:11] Anybody know anything about completely powering off arbitrary PCI bus devices? [05:11] st__, only root can do what? Don't get why [05:11] :f gtk2.0-config [05:11] tensorpudding, sorry [05:12] Is there is better place to find answers for this [05:12] init-banda, try in ##linux [05:12] my cat has trouble understanding the concept of "quit standing in front of all the shit I am doing [05:12] thats AbhiJit [05:12] init-banda: you could try #linux, that seems most relevant imo [05:12] drewbert, sudo /proc/pet/cat stop [05:12] ok if I take and make a folder in home directory called ubuntudisc and extract a ubuntu.iso to it can I not use that folder as a repo? tried deb file:///home/myuser/ubuntudisc and does not work [05:13] drewbert: at least you dont have 2 pits who think they're still pups try to sit on your laptop.. [05:13] AbhiJit: That seems a bit drastic, is there any way I can hibernate the process? [05:13] does mysqld work for anyone here? [05:13] !ot | drewbert :P [05:13] drewbert :P: #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! [05:13] Jesdisciple: checked log and log.1, neither of which evinces parted being run [05:13] cjae: what tool are you using with the extracted iso? [05:13] If I install Ubuntu using wubi, how much of a difference of system performance will I see? and in what aspect [05:14] Jesdisciple: err syslog and syslog.1 [05:14] AbhiJit: et tu, AbhiJit? [05:14] Jesdisciple: what ever is install in ubuntu [05:14] Chr|s: compared to a clean install? [05:14] Whammo: kk - it was rly a wild shot based on recent experience [05:14] Jesdisciple: cool thanks anyway [05:14] tensorpudding, compared to dual booting [05:14] side by side [05:15] Chr|s: Since Ubuntu is the only thing running when you boot in through Wubi, it should be similar performance-wise, the only hard part could theoretically be disk I/O [05:15] cjae: I don't follow... how did you access this program? [05:15] hello [05:15] hey can someone help me setup my lg HBM-220 bluetooth headset in 10.04? [05:15] hi [05:15] some help over here just a cuestion === SpockVulcan is now known as AndrewMC [05:15] so how can I check either progress or status of the partition resize in progress? [05:16] st__, also, I find that when I mount a second folder, the bond contents of the first folder are cleared off [05:16] For the life of me I can;t change the permissions on a mount point. Can someone help me fix this? [05:16] is it possible to do a network install directly from ubuntu, i.e. without a local PXE server? [05:16] papalevies, whats the issue? [05:16] Jesdisciple: right click on iso [05:16] what is the software like publisher? [05:16] It identifies, connects and pairs but there is no audio device in alsa or pulseaudio [05:16] 4 xubuntu [05:16] ohh :o [05:17] cjae: did you click Extract Here? [05:17] and in what category it is? [05:17] :h [05:17] anybody know a good source of info to help me with installing and setting up zoneminder [05:17] hmmm... stuff isn't working here. [05:17] that is no audio device for bluetooth, only the others [05:17] papalevies, does this page helps? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [05:18] Jesdisciple: ya in a folder the I created, what does that matter, I believe I have the syntax wrong or something for the sources.list [05:18] Is it possible to "merge" an empty partition (by let say destroying it) with my current ubuntu partition without damaging my installation? [05:18] cjae: so after you extracted it, are you using any other program? [05:18] mast`, do you have separate '/'?? [05:19] mast`: possible... likely? [05:19] life without walls&windows LINUX [05:19] AbhiJit: one of the partition is empty, it could be unformatted space [05:19] mast`: delete the empty partition in gparted, resize your / partition, and see whether gparted says it's going to format [05:19] Jesdisciple: no [05:20] one quick question, is this normal for uname -r under ubuntu desktop edition 2.6.32-25-server [05:20] Jesdisciple: just trying to add the folder to the repo source list in synaptic [05:20] AbhiJit, I really don't want to mess with bluez 'cause I have other bt devices configured (wiimote, cell phone) but if all else fails I'll give it a try. Last time it failed though [05:20] cjae: alright, are you wanting to install to your hard drive or another device? [05:20] the -server part [05:20] cjae: o, ok [05:20] mast`, if you have separate '/' (root) and separate /home then merge that empty partition to /home and not to / thus reducing the risk of damage. if you dont have such separte / adn /home thne there will be always a risk of damage. do that carefully [05:20] not the damage - the merging! [05:20] ratdog, and your question is& [05:20] shatly: no but if you installed using the server cd and then apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, yes [05:21] what's the command to sync partition tables? [05:21] papalevies, ok [05:21] cjae: just a sec plz [05:21] IdleOne: i installed using the alternet ubuntu 10.04 cd [05:21] shatly: hmm not sure but I wouldn't worry bout it [05:21] i don't know why everyone keeps on assuming that damage to /home or damage to a user's own files (because they "aren't root") is so much less important than damage to the system [05:21] IdleOne: i think it may have been the reasion why my nvidia drivers stoped working [05:22] how do I check to see what driver my webcam is using? [05:22] how to protect my executables and libraries from modification? [05:22] lsmod ? [05:22] oh, hang on. There's a lspci switch for that [05:23] lspci -k [05:23] shatly: have you had a recent kernel upgrade? [05:23] My system hogs, especially firefox when extracting .rar files, anyone else have this problem? CPU usage is fairly low, but windows become unresponsive [05:23] I mean /sbin, /lib, /usr/bin, /usr/share/bin etc [05:23] cjae: here we go - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=19378 [05:23] shatly: you might need to re-enable them in System > Admin > Hardware Drivers [05:23] Viking667, thanks [05:23] cjae: that's from five years ago, however I imagine it hasn't changed [05:24] specs: i7 920, 3GB DDR3, Ati 4770 [05:24] cjae: this would definitely work but I doubt you have connectivity: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=92537&postcount=3 [05:24] IdleOne: i recompiled my own kernal, just the server part messed me up [05:25] papalevies: its vaguely possible that i/o is being saturated even though most of the cpu is free [05:25] this is after uninstalling them and reinstalling a few times [05:25] and downgrading packages that i could [05:25] things like that [05:25] Jesdisciple: actually I just need all the packages included in build-essentials so I can manually install a ethernet driver [05:25] shatly: that would be the reason. custom kernels are not supported. [05:25] quiescens, how is that? Any way to fix it? [05:25] st__, wht type of modification? [05:26] AbhiJit, removal, changing, deleting etc [05:26] papalevies: i have that problem too, even thoguh i have 4GB of ram, if the disk in in use, most everything freezes (waiting for disk ,i imagine, but waiting for what i dont know) [05:26] shatly: what I mean is that we can't really help you with any issues because of the kernel not being default [05:26] IdleOne: my kernal was not custom before, it was stock, jsut after last update stoped working for nvidia [05:26] AbhiJit, except for one specific user (or group) [05:26] papalevies: i just mean, if you are extracting a large archive, chances are your hard drive or whatever is working as hard as it can and things are having to wait for it === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:27] shatly: the upgrade of the kernel may have caused the nvidia drivers to stop working [05:27] st__, see if apparmour does the thing you want [05:27] * ethana3 took his question to ubuntu stackexchange instead [05:27] IdleOne: even with apt-get purge the drivers and the reinstall the current [05:27] cjae: although that is overkill then, I'm pretty sure it would work [05:27] quiescens, that may be true in some cases, but even when the drive is a secondary one? [05:27] cjae: although it takes some geeky fiddling from the looks of it [05:27] shatly: unfortunately I can't help you much [05:28] is there any opensource software for gesture recognisation in touchpad? [05:28] is there no public PXE server to install ubuntu off say ubuntu.com ? [05:28] Jesdisciple: cant for the life of me install build-essentials, ubuntu 10.04 has an achieve mounter so no need for the mount -o iso9660 -loop stuff, adding it to synaptic that way didnt work etiher [05:28] well, after 2 hours i figured it out... just still wodering WTF i got a server kernal when the only server like app i have is openssh-server [05:28] and how to get and install apparmor?

Windows XP can't see ext3 file volumes. there are third-party programs for windows that you can use, but you would need to google to find them. [06:30] <[V]ortex> i see.. is there a way to format ext3 from winxp? [06:30] <[V]ortex> or do i have to do it from within ubuntu? [06:30] [V]ortex, yes, using various programs like Partition Magic or just use the gparted boot disk [06:30] if you use gparted you are doing it from a cd [06:31] it doesn't take very long just to format, minutes for even large volumes [06:32] [V]ortex, you are aware that from ubuntu, you can see your windows xp volume right? [06:32] <[V]ortex> thanks sprung, is there any other way other than partition magic or gparted? like can i go and format from within ubuntu? [06:32] <[V]ortex> i'm assuming both gparted and partition magic are propietary software? [06:32] [V]ortex, i don't know why you would want to [06:33] [V]ortex: gparted is free [06:33] [V]ortex, gparted is free and open source and runs on a linux build on the cd [06:33] [V]ortex, i'll save you the decision making process, just use gparted. [06:34] <[V]ortex> ok, actually i want to uninstall ubuntu and revert the partition back to ntfs, so i can install win7 over it [06:34] <[V]ortex> so i should use gparted? [06:35] [V]ortex, that's what i said [06:35] hi. I cant get my sound to work at all yet ubuntu detects my soundcard. [06:36] <[V]ortex> ok thanks sprung! [06:36] ive read a few different forums and tried all thats there and still nothing [06:36] trouble installing ATi drivers lucid [06:36] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/644793 [06:36] [V]ortex, one last thing [06:37] [V]ortex, if installing anything newer than windows XP, check out item #14 here before doing so (print it out) http://gparted.sourceforge.net/faq.php [06:37] [V]ortex, just to save you a common headache [06:39] hi [06:39] hi, i have a list of files in list.txt, .. in these files i wan't to grep for a word ... how to do this .. .. i tried cat list.txt > grep word ... didn't work .. can some one help ?? [06:39] <[V]ortex> ok sprung, now i'm confused; bascially, i'm dual-booting with ubuntu and winxp, now i want to remove ubuntu; what's the best way to go about doing so? [06:39] anybody know the correct postgres upgrade command for 9.0 ? mine fails : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/0FXhQUZC [06:39] !cli | avinashhm [06:39] avinashhm: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [06:40] avinashhm, try grep word `cat list.txt` [06:40] [V]ortex, really it's easier than falling off a log with gparted, just read the instructions, the menu will guide you [06:41] avinashhm, with backticks [06:41] [V]ortex, if you have any problems with windows xp booting look at #13 on the same link i gave you a moment ago [06:41] phpero: you don't have to cat the file dude. grep word file will work [06:41] <[V]ortex> okk thanks sprung [06:42] [V]ortex, i am assuming you are wanting to expand out your windows volume too, gparted lets you do that as well [06:42] ActionParsnip, avinashhm wants to search for word in a list of files contained in a file [06:42] phpero, this worked ... awesome .. thanks :-) [06:42] avinashhm, you're welcome [06:42] phpero: aaah I see. Nicely done :) [06:43] ok guys i tried install the new version of netbook ubuntu [06:44] i think i might have a bad copy going to redl it again and do the md5sum on it [06:44] Eryn_1983_FL: did you md5 test the first one? [06:44] any recommendations for avi video editors from the package list, would like to be able to add text and music [06:45] my system's language is spanish, and some commands work acording to this setting... for example, sort, its -M option expects month names in spanish and the file I want to sort has them in english... any1 knows how to override this? [06:45] nah [06:45] wildc4rd, check out pitivi and avidemux [06:45] i should of though [06:45] Eryn_1983_FL: indeed [06:46] wildc4rd: http://techcityinc.com/2009/02/04/top-10-free-video-editors-for-ubuntu-linux/ [06:46] <[V]ortex> sprung, ok thanks i'll go read up about gparted and how to use it [06:46] wildc4rd: 10 to go at there [06:46] ubottu, thanks for the links ... [06:46] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:46] [V]ortex, ok great, it's really not very difficult, read the FAQ too [06:49] [V]ortex: if you like you could use fdisk instead [06:51] <[V]ortex> hey sprung, i realised you can format hdd from ext3 to ntfs within winxp [06:51] <[V]ortex> just go to admin tools in control panel and computer management; den click disk mgmt on left [06:51] [V]ortex, you didn't say that you wanted it to be NTFS [06:51] [V]ortex, you simply said you wanted to format it [06:51] ActionParsnip, don't forget that [V]ortex should restore XP's MBR to remove GRUB before deleting Ubuntu's partitions and resizing the NTFS one [06:52] [V]ortex, so you just want to overwrite the ext3 file system to ntfs ? [06:52] <[V]ortex> oops ok yup ntfs [06:52] [V]ortex: you can also right click My computer -> manage [06:52] [V]ortex, thats what you get for not giving enough information [06:52] <[V]ortex> yes, that's right, i just want to format the ext3 and change it to ntfs [06:52] <[V]ortex> my bad, sprung [06:52] <[V]ortex> thanks ActionParsnip [06:53] i've been trying to get my wireless card working on lucid. tried native drivers, tried ndiswrapper, tried disabling ipv6, tried disabling acpi, i can see the network and connect i can even get on the internet and then after about 5 seconds nothing will load in firefox [06:53] <[V]ortex> phpero, what do you mean by restoring xp's mbr to remove grub? [06:53] poormanwhis: if you run: sudo lshw -C network | grep -i product ,what is the product line for the wireless? [06:54] if you don't remove grub it will keep on annoying you at startup, [V]ortex [06:54] and may be giving errors [06:54] <[V]ortex> phpero, how do i remove grub? [06:54] there, i sent you an url with the explanation by notice [06:54] can anyone help me with ssh? I have ssh installed, but when I go to connect i can only connect locally. with ip and localhost. I try from anouther computer on the same network and it can not connect [06:55] poormanwhis: the lshw will show the chip, automatically using ndiswrapper is a bad call dude. There may be a native driver [06:55] <[V]ortex> ok thanks phpero, but will grub still remain even though i wipe the drive compeletely? [06:55] lotus-blade: firewall settings maybe? [06:55] that's how you restore window's MBR [V]ortex [06:55] never set any firewall up [06:55] is there on by default on the livecd? [06:56] <[V]ortex> phpero, i'm wiping the drive completely before installing a new win7 on it; i don't think grub will remain wil it? [06:56] lotus-blade: can the other systems ping the ssh server? [06:56] [V]ortex, are you dual-booting your system from a single drive? [06:56] ping time out both ways [06:56] lotus-blade: there's iptables as normal but its open and unconfigured [06:56] [V]ortex, oh, then there will be no problem [06:56] <[V]ortex> phpero, dual booting, but from another hdd [06:56] <[V]ortex> ok thanks [06:57] [V]ortex, np [06:57] lotus-blade: did you change the port or have you not changed it in sshd_config [06:57] nope [06:57] lotus-blade: can the other systems telnet to the socket? [06:57] nope [06:57] Wow, hmm [06:57] no i tried both the native rtl8187 and then ndiswrapper after i had problems [06:58] poormanwhis: ok well when it drops run: dmesg | tail ,it should give clues [06:59] lotus-blade: if you scan the server with nmap does it show? [06:59] sp where can I find instructions for securing directories with apparmor and some GUI tool for profile management? [06:59] lotus-blade: could also try changing the port to something weird, restart service and connect to that [07:00] all 1000 scanned ports are filtered [07:00] i am dual booting windows 7 and a wubi install of 10.04. can i triple boot with another wubi install of 9.10? [07:00] lotus-blade: how do you mean filtered? [07:01] that is all it says [07:01] did net stat and port 22 is open on 0.0.0.0 [07:02] lotus-blade: if its not a firewall issue, then do you even have network connectivity on the box running the ssh server? [07:02] lotus-blade: try setting it to port 2202 on the server or something like that. See if it plays nicer. If you can ping then the logical path is there [07:03] sweetpi: both directions ping fine [07:03] ActionParsnip: he said both directions time out [07:03] Ahhhh misread [07:03] lotus-blade: if you ping via ip is it nicer? [07:04] nope and there is nothing in the ssh_config file either [07:04] lotus-blade: as sweetpi says, ssh is fine. Its the networking between [07:04] hello i have a ques [07:05] sc_: ask away [07:05] actionparsnip, it doesn't drop it stays connected to the router but i get dns errors and cant even ping ip addresses, the wireless works fine in windows, but i can only get on the internet for about 5 seconds and then have to disconnect and reconnect until i can get it to load again, i really want to get this working, i really need to be able to get on the internet in ubuntu [07:05] hi folks. I am running the 10.10 Beta. However, I still cannot get the fglrx to run.

[07:08] ActionParsnip, if i set my /etc/resolv.conf to read-only, networkmanager can't override, right? i have a much better list of nameservers than my ISP has [07:08] lotus-blade: wait, are you trying to ssh from outside your lan [07:08] no inside [07:08] no in nautius mode with sudo its ok but after sudo to normal mode no main button bar in folders [07:08] sprung: it will, right click network manager -> edit connections [07:09] Sc_: I hope you meangksudo, not sudo [07:09] ActionParsnip, your answer was ambiguous, you're saying networkmanager can overwrite it? [07:09] yes [07:09] sprung: set it there then network manager will change it to what you want [07:10] sprung: I believe it will still edit it. Disable the interface you use then re-enable. See what happens to the file. [07:10] i tried alt v but in view menu no option for main bar [07:10] sprung: personally i'd just apply the setting in the app which is writing the file, makes sense [07:10] there a complete .den installer for eggdrop [07:10] only text file,edit... [07:11] deb [07:11] Sc_: is there toolbars in the view menu? [07:11] no [07:11] lotus-blade: are you sure your connected to the network?

Do NOT run gui apps with sudo ever [07:12] ping yahoo perficly fine [07:13] what would i type in terminal to find a dir? that i know the name of... [07:13] ActionParsnip, "how do i open networkmanager" [07:13] sprung: its the network icon in the indicator applet, usually near the time [07:13] lotus-blade: and what about the other computer, its connection is fine? [07:13] oh i think i removed that i will readd [07:14] xbonesx: find -type d dirname [07:14] connects to inet perfectly. [07:14] both on same network and ion same ip pool [07:14] sweetpi: routing table flush maybe on pc and router [07:15] ActionParsnip, ok now i feel dumb because i don't see it on Add To Panel [07:15] sprung: alt+f2 and run: nm-applet [07:15] brb [07:16] ActionParsnip, alt+f2 does nothing [07:16] ActionParsnip: find: paths must precede expression: apps [07:16] lotus-blade: turn off and on your router, may help [07:16] Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-Olevel] [-D help|tree|search|stat|rates|opt|exec] [path...] [expression] [07:16] sprung: what WM are you using? [07:16] gconf-editor may help on it? [07:16] xbonesx: what exactly you want to do ? [07:17] find the apps directory [07:17] sprung: alt+f2 brings up the default gnome / kde etc launcher app. Its default in ubuntu [07:17] ActionParsnip, gnome. OH, i know what you mean, yeah for some reason the switching to different terminal screens isn't working in this install, got any reason why? i'd like to have that back [07:17] I have this problem and I couldn't solve it. :( http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml [07:17] oh wait that was ctrl+alt+F1-4 [07:17] sprung: no idea, not used that [07:17] i am using gnome [07:17] ActionParsnip: /apps/metacity/general/theme [07:17] and alt+f2 does absolutely nothing [07:18] sprung: alt+f2 loads a screen like this: [07:18] xbosnesx: find -type d apps [07:18] hey hello all any one got this problem before?in folders no toolbar!!

[07:20] sprung: you could run it from a terminal I guess but the app will die when you close the terminal, doesn't matter though as its only a config app [07:20] find /path -type d -name namehere [07:20] find requires a path [07:20] ActionParsnip, you know what i mean by dropping to bash from window manager by pressing ctrl+alt and F1,2,3 or F4, right? i also can't do that and i want that back [07:21] ActionParsnip, whats the app's name so i can run it from terminal [07:21] sprung: I know what you mean. Just no idea how or where its configured as I don't use it [07:21] sprung: nm-applet [07:21] k [07:21] ActionParsnip, "An instance of nm-applet is already running." [07:22] sprung: if it says its already running, kill it off then rerun it [07:22] ok [07:22] sprung: when the list ends up being really long i cant view stuff at the beginning??? [07:22] ActionParsnip: true, but he acted as though he didnt change anything [07:22] sprung: it will appear in the indicator [07:22] Dulak: that messege for sprung was for you [07:23] Hi [07:23] Dulak: when the list ends up being really long i cant view stuff at the beginning??? [07:23] sweetpi: true but a good router kick every now and again is good [07:23] xbonesx: pipe it to less: find /pathhere -type d -name namehere | less [07:23] xbonesx: then you can scroll up and down as you like [07:23] what does less do? [07:23] oh ok ty [07:24] ActionParsnip, running nm-applet did nothing it just hangs with a blinking cursor [07:24] xbonesx: lets you scroll through output [07:24] lotus-blade: have you tried resetting your router? [07:24] ActionParsnip, then i ctrl-c'd it and it said it was shutting down [07:24] sprung: launch a gnome terminal in the desktop and run it there [07:24] ActionParsnip, i did exactly that [07:24] just a blinking cursor [07:25] Hi all, I am quite new to Ubuntu and I am having some trouble getting my Wireless USB adapter to work on Ubuntu because the build instructions on the CD are really confusing me. Help? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2268229/README_STA_usb.txt [07:25] sprung: weird, nm-applet is also default in ubuntu. When you boot do you see a little icon showing network connections etc? [07:25] ActionParsnip, here we go: when i ctrl+c'd it it says ** (nm-applet:2687): WARNING **: constructor(): Couldn't initialize the D-Bus manager. [07:25] Dizzo: what wireless chip is it? [07:25] lotus-blade: if it still doesnt work, try "ip route flush table main" on both boxes [07:25] ActionParsnip, i do not, no. [07:25] sprung: that's just the process dying [07:26] ActionPars: I think it is RT3070?? [07:26] sprung: how do you manage networking then? [07:26] how do you mount an .img file? [07:26] Dizzo: ok let me see what I can dig up [07:26] ActionParsnip, i use dhcp and its always worked by default but i want my dns nameserves not my isp'd [07:26] ActionPars: Thanks!! [07:26] didnt work [07:26] SubCool: you have to convert it to an iso to mount it [07:26] sprung: wired connection? [07:26] ugh... [07:26] hello friends, i am trying to install flash4linux on ubuntu lucid, i am stuck at compiling it, since it says 'qcanvas.h' not found, can you please tell me which package i need to install in order to get that file? [07:26] ActionParsnip, yes. [07:26] Dulak, what? y? [07:27] i used this, /media/iso/ -t udf -o loop [07:27] another try for my problem? [07:28] SubCool: because an img file is not an iso and can't be mounted directly, especially if it's a mac img with compression [07:28] These are all the files that come on the installation CD for Linux Support: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2268229/2009_0811-3_RT3070_Linux_STA_v2.1.1.0_USB-N13.zip [07:28] sprung: http://azimyasin.wordpress.com/2007/10/02/network-manager-over-rides-dns-in-ubuntu-fix/ [07:28] ActionParsnip, ok [07:28] Do all Wireless USB adapters have to go through this process? Are there ones out there that just work when you plug it in?? [07:29] damn- .. ok. how do i do that? isit simple, or complex and i should google. [07:29] SubCool: the package named ccd2iso should let you do it, iirc [07:29] oh- cool. thanks [07:29] hello, I am trying to learn how to make commands run in terminal one after the other using some sort of script. if someone could point me in the right direction it would be most helpful [07:29] Dulak: what if you trying to find a file and not a directory how would 'find / -type d -name ' change? [07:29] SubCool, enjoy your pirated media lol [07:29] SubCool: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/howto-mount-isos-in-ubuntu-easy-way.html [07:30] sprung, lol- thanks [07:30] wac_: there are tons of tutorials on shell scripting out there [07:30] is that what it is called shell scripting? [07:30] xbonesx: -type f, or leave off the type completely to get any type that matches the name [07:30] lol I did not even know what to call it [07:30] !help shell scripting [07:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:30] im beat and tired, soory- i've had wayy too much more than i can handle.. [07:30] wac_: yes and if you learn how to do it (it's not hard) you can make a lot of money [07:30] wac_: you can use && between commands to be super safe ; [07:30] wac_: shell scripting can do what you want and a lot more [07:30] Dulak: TY :) [07:31] and where shell scripting ends, perl begins [07:31] nice, anyone know of a good book I could get? [07:31] shell scripting for dummies lol [07:31] wac_, oh there's lots [07:31] hi all [07:31] wac_: the bash scripting howto is alright, for a free resource [07:31] wac_: http://steve-parker.org/sh/sh.shtml a quick search brings up this [07:31] oh yuck Dulak are you kidding me [07:32] that howto is awful [07:32] actually nearly all howtos are awful, except maybe the one for vi [07:32] google advanced bash scripting (abs) best how to for bash ever made [07:32] thanks alot for your answers!! I have alot to read now lol [07:33] that howto has all the info you need and it's free [07:33] advanced bash scripting thanks man [07:33] wac_, yeah and like i said, where bash scripting ends, perl begins. learn scripting first, then move on to perl [07:33] is there a way to stop disable gnome-terminals keyboard shortcuts? they interfere with my other shortcuts [07:33] I got a few sites pulled up now. I appreciate it. I see alot of jobs for pearl scripting. something I would not mind getting into [07:34] python is a better place to start than perl, it's much simpler and easier to master for a noob, imo [07:34] wac_, perl not pearl, pearl is a thing in an oyster perl is a language [07:34] infig: you mean Alt-Ctrl-t ? [07:34] Dulak, python is that easy? [07:34] i didnt know that [07:34] sprung, Ya...Python is really easy to learn [07:34] i came from c++ and i was like wtf, why didnt i just use perl this whole time [07:35] sprung: 31 keywords in the base language, very easy to learn [07:35] infid: you mean Alt-Ctrl-t ? [07:35] python is a good bit more simple than perl [07:35] lol [07:35] perl [07:35] perl is great but it's very complex, all the shortcuts leave noobs confused [07:36] Can you suggest how to start gtk+ / qt. I've used Visual C++ before. Now I'm willing to learn gtk+. Can anyone guide me in a right way..?? [07:37] I think gtk+ is for gnome and qt for kde right..?? [07:37] Krishnandu: The is lots of stuff online (its open source) [07:37] c++ is more complicated than perl and thats what i learned how to program in [07:37] Krishnandu, you should say : GNOME uses gtk+ , kde uses qt [07:37] i was like wtf why didnt i use these simpler languages [07:37] MichealH, Ya...I saw that...But I just want the right guidance...like how and where to start... [07:37] If you just type GTK Programming tonto google then there will be tons od Documentaiton [07:37] civilization 4 was coded in python [07:38] icarus-c, Okies..!! [07:38] Krishnandu: Start with some basic things and make achallenges for yourself :) [07:38] What is glade..?? I think an interface designer for gtk+ [07:39] Krishnandu: Glad es for designing GTK+ Apps [07:39] *Glade is [07:39] MichealH, No...I mean the documentation would be enough to master it...?? [07:39] Krishnandu: I guess so [07:39] MichealH, So you mean I can use glade to design rather than manually coding for the design..?? [07:40] Krishnandu: Yeah [07:40] oh no... hey somebody help me out with a default /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf i just overwrote it with something that it should not be [07:40] please pastebin it [07:40] MichealH, Thanks..!! :) [07:40] sprung: Okay, se [07:40] *sec [07:40] MichealH, thank you [07:40] Krishnandu: Glade allows you to design GUI layout in a similar way to Visual Studio, the layout is stored in XML documents I believe [07:41] tensorpudding, Okies..!! ) [07:41] lol i skipped a step in my head and cp'd /etc/resolv.conf to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf don't do that kids [07:41] It allows you to drag and drop widgets, it's available for GTK as well as wx [07:41] err, wxWidgets [07:42] I know it's a dumb ques...but which will be better gtk+ ot qt..?? I go thru the documentation of both and looks like both are somewhat similar [07:42] !best | Krishnandu [07:42] Krishnandu: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

My drivers are installed. Advice? [07:45] can somebody help me restore the wifi card applet in gnome ? [07:45] Krishnandu, and how can I do that [07:45] dospod: right click the panel, click add, add notifications. [07:45] infid: Alt-Ctrl-t you can disable in Preferences > Keyboard (gnome), rest belongs to terminal so will not work unless window of terminal is focused [07:46] logan_wolf, System > Administration > Software Sources [07:46] MasterofPuppets, what happens when you click on your wireless name [07:46] logan_wolf, Go to other software and enable partner repository [07:46] logan_wolf: it says it's connecting then disconnects. [07:47] MasterofPuppets: thank you [07:47] dospod: No problem :) [07:47] MasterofPuppets: double check mac filtering on your router, and encryption type and key [07:47] sweetpi: I did, everything is the same [07:47] Can anyone recommend me a Wireless USB adapter that is compatible with Windows 7 and Linux BUT will work with Linux simply by plugging it in? [07:47] sweetpi: I was connected about 7 hours ago, shut off my laptop before going to work, came back and it's not connecting [07:47] MasterofPuppets, are you able to connect to wireless from some other machine [07:48] Dizzo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported#Wireless%20USB%20Adapters [07:48] logan_wolf: yes [07:48] ok um guys i dont know what i did wrong..

[07:48] they md4sum is correct for both the downloads of the ubuntu netbook [07:49] MasterofPuppets, did you try connecting through wire??? and did it work [07:49] there is what i got http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220736 [07:49] MasterofPu: Danke! === lonix^bnc is now known as lonix [07:49] logan_wolf: LAN works [07:49] Dizzo: No problem, some of those are pretty outdated, but the drivers don't tend to change too drastically [07:49] what does it mean when `route` takes several seconds to display the gateway? [07:49] MasterofPuppets: I was going to suggest checking the "wireless off" button on your laptop, but you said you can see the access point? [07:49] Guys...I can check md5sum in ubuntu easily but why not in windows..?? Does it require something to install..?? [07:49] sweetpi: Yes, it's just that I start connecting and then the connection drops [07:49] infid: but if you really need to mess up, Gnome-terminal > edit > keyboard shortcuts [07:50] sweetpi: I know that the adapter is fine because aircrack-ng is showing activity in terminal, the connection just won't stay up [07:50] what wait... [07:50] its 64 bit WTH [07:50] MasterofPuppets: what about signal strength? [07:50] Guys...I can check md5sum in ubuntu easily but why not in windows..?? Does it require something to install..?? [07:50] hello, how do I know if my computer is i386 or AMD64 ?? I have AMD Processor. Is i386 for Inter Processor???? [07:51] logan_wolf, i tried just now [07:51] it went fine [07:51] without any errors [07:51] ShredMaster, use MAD64 [07:51] *AMD64 [07:51] hmmmm [07:51] ShredMaster: amd64 is for intel and amd 64bit cpus [07:51] im going to try and install osx...i know that grub will get messed up am i correct in that all i have to do is use the rescue cd to repair it them im good [07:52] ryaxnb: 64-bit can be installed for 64-bit capable computers [07:52] sweetpi: fluctuating at about -30 power, so basically full strength [07:52] Sorry ryaxnb [07:52] sweetpi: ok thanks [07:53] Eryn_1983_FL: 64 bit is for 64 bit computers but 32 bit will work on both [07:53] I freaking love conky [07:53] yeah [07:53] are you sure which version i need though ?http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220736 [07:53] sweetpi, actually amd provides 64bit frm the vry first...tats why it's amd64 but meant for both intel and amd 64bit proccy [07:54] i got the i386 netbook version.. [07:54] sweetpi, sorry [07:54] ShredMaster, actually amd provides 64bit frm the vry first...tats why it's amd64 but meant for both intel and amd 64bit proccy [07:54] Krishnandu: yes I know, but he they didnt ask WHY it was named that, just if it would work on intel [07:54] Eryn_1983_FL: Go for it [07:54] i tried before its not working :( [07:54] sweetpi, ya...sorry...I was about to post it to ShredMaster [07:54] hi sweetpi [07:54] is there some linux software i can use to make the usb disk? [07:54] Krishnandu: ah I see :) [07:55] sweetpi, ) [07:55] sweetpi, :) [07:55] i am running karamic at the moment so idont know how to make those boot disks thingie [07:55] MasterofPuppets: check dmesg [07:55] Eryn_1983_FL, unetbootin [07:55] how do i install it [07:55] stanley_robertso: hi(?) [07:56] sudo apt-get install unetbootin [07:56] stanley_robertso, hi [07:56] Hey. I have a laptop with ATI graphics and an external monitor connected. When I close the laptop lid, I want it to switch to the external monitor. Is that doable? [07:56] sweetpi: It associates and then deauthenticates itself [07:56] now its workin.. [07:56] howto reinstall windows mbr via usb stick? [07:57] cjae, ask in ##windows [07:57] cjae, You need to make windows bootable usb first for that [07:57] hi, can we exclude 'net/built-in.o' from our kernel image .. even after disabling, "Networking support" in menuconfig, i find this included in kernel ... [07:57] !windows | Krishnandu cjae [07:57] Krishnandu cjae: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [07:57] AbhiJit, :) [07:57] anyone, my internet is pathetically slow. I came with a silly idea. If I could use opera Mini for Mobiles in PC, the websites would launch faster. Agree? [07:58] ShredMaster, lol...thats for j2me phones..!! [07:58] no [07:58] ShredMaster, you could change your useragent so that website think you are on a mobile so they give you mobile mode i suppose [07:59] ShredMaster, better configure opera / ff as per your needs, like turn off images..!! [07:59] MasterofPuppets: Ive had that problem with a faulty antenna or maybe it was a driver problem. I had to use a static ip and try 3-4 times before it would stop acting like that [07:59] wouldn't work for ALL site though [07:59] Krishnandu: I used opera mini is Windows using a software called (I forgot) [07:59] sweetpi: Everything is unchanged, though. The driver shouldn't stop working and the antenna is fine [08:00] MasterofPuppets: yeah I agree. maybe reboot the access point or check for mac conflicts? [08:00] iForgot - by apple?? :o [08:00] ShredMaster, Ohh ok...But there is no reason to use opera mini on pc. Rather configure to turn off images and other options like that to consume bandwidth. Or you can visit the mobile site with normal browser too. [08:00] *save bandwidth [08:01] Krishnandu: ya! good ideas. thanks... [08:01] Guess I'll do that. One sec. [08:01] ShredMaster, welcum :) [08:01] well!!! can anyone direct me to software to configure applarmor in ubuntu?! [08:01] :P [08:02] well here goes again will let you know what happens [08:04] Hi anybody here? [08:04] hi [08:05] sweetpi: I ran dhclient wlan0 and I can ping the router [08:05] sweetpi: so it's definitely something in the GUI [08:05] Hi everyone.. [08:05] Yo [08:06] how to update *.dat files in ICU4C ? Have any idea pls.. [08:07] whoops [08:07] MasterofPuppets: network-manager is one of the first things i kill, I use wpa_supplicant. maybe try deleting your entry for your AP in n-m and add it again [08:08] I just tried wpasupplicant, it's just stuck in a loop though [08:08] Er, sweetpi [08:08] can anyone help me connect my laptop via my mobile phone? [08:08] quietone: as in you're tethering you laptop to your phone? [08:09] MasterofPuppets, what is tethering? [08:10] quietone: what are you connecting the two for? [08:10] MasterofPuppets, I need to access the web when I am not at home [08:11] quietone: Then you're looking at tethering. Basically, you use your phone to give your laptop internet access [08:11] quietone: What kind of phone is it? [08:12] MasterofPuppets, nokia 2730c. it can access the web. I can 'talk' to it via bluetooth (don't have a cable) [08:12] Whats the status on full support for ALPS touchpads so far ? [08:12] quietone, [08:12] sweetpi: I think you're going to love this, by the way, but I just fixed it by turning the wireless on the laptop on and off. [08:12] whats does it mean on launchpad it says status : invalid [08:13] quietone, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethering [08:13] MasterofPuppets: hehe nice [08:13] Homerpdx75: That's just going to tell him what it is, it won't help him [08:13] sweetpi: It's disgusting, I should have thought of that first. Well, thanks haha [08:14] hi [08:14] ok hold on [08:14] quietone: Tethering through bluetooth is possible, are you aware of your cellphone carrier's data charges? [08:14] quietone: Just because I don't want to help you commit financial suicide by racking up the world's biggest phone bill [08:14] hi everyone, is there a way to defragment my computer? [08:14] MasterofPuppets: I imagine the laptop went to sleep while you were at work? [08:15] MasterofPuppets, yes. my only choice is my phone or a vodem and they both have the same fee. [08:15] sweetpi: I guess so, and lucid must not agree with turning the adapter back on when it wakes up [08:15] quietone: Alright, good. Have you set up your bluetooth drivers? [08:15] quietone: As in, can you connect the two? [08:16] MasterofPuppets, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1578329 will tell you what I have done [08:17] guest1048939, I think you won't need that in Linux [08:17] Hi, is there a program that can let me defragment my computer, and clean the registry [08:17] oh [08:17] does it automatically defrag? [08:17] guest1048939, System > Administration > Computer Janitor [08:18] guest1048939, No registry. That will be all..!! :) [08:18] guest1048939, Linux ext* file system optimize file fragmentation in the very first place. no defragmentation is really ndeed [08:18] guest1048939, and Linux doesn't use registry at all [08:18] Can someone tell me, or point me to a website that tells me what happens on a users first login? In relation to this: http://serverfault.com/questions/183054/users-not-added-untill-the-logon-first-ubuntu [08:18] guest1048939 Linux has no registry and ext filesystem doens't really fragment [08:18] ok, thanks everyone for all of the fast answes :D [08:18] thx thx, linux is really cool [08:18] Chalk it up to FAT32 for being a bad filesystem [08:18] D [08:18] :D [08:19] quietone: do you know what bluetooth manager you have on ubuntu? bluez-gnome etc. [08:19] guest1048939, :) [08:19] i joined linux because i heard it doesnt have viruses :) [08:19] i found it on a website [08:19] guest1048939, i would say not that linux is particularly cool, but just Windows sucks so hard [08:19] oh, one last question [08:19] ofcrs..!! [08:20] it was hard for me to find a linux release because there are so many, but i think i found ubuntu [08:20] which seems to be the latest one.. is that right? [08:20] guest1048939, define latest? [08:20] MasterofPuppets, bluez on lucid [08:20] like the best one [08:20] guest1048939: Ubuntu is just one distribution of linux, a distribution isn't quite a version as it is a separate system [08:20] like windows 7 is later than windows 98 [08:20] Does anyone know where I can find this driver: DPO_RT3070_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.4_20100604 [08:20] guest1048939, There are many distro's...all distro's have their latest version..!! [08:20] or an equivalent? [08:20] latest ubuntu release is 10.04 [08:21] guest1048939, ^^ [08:21] ok, im kinda confused :( [08:21] MasterofPuppets, stop spreading lies about fragmentation [08:21] guest1048939, ubuntu isn't a distro that ship extremely bleeding edge software though. [08:21] guest1048939, fedora 13 is latest for fedora, opensuse 11.3 is latest for opensuse and ubuntu 10.04 is latest for ubuntu [08:21] st__: Or truths? :P [08:21] like this.. [08:21] but the same software is in the software centre right? [08:22] MasterofPuppets, the thing is if FS is > 60% full it does fragment, and quite bad [08:22] guest1048939, what you meant by "same software" here? [08:22] Dizzo: http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 seems to be a lead [08:22] guest1048939, Don't think like windows. Windows and Linux is a OS. But Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE are different distributions of Linux. Is that clear now..?? [08:22] Dizzo: Or the closest I can see [08:23] kinda [08:23] guest1048939, it's the same software but it compiled and packaged differently [08:23] guest1048939, All distro maintains their own repository of software. So it's ofcrs not the same one..!! [08:23] thank you krishnandu, icarus, master of puppets! [08:23] ... mostly the same, though occasionally distros will "patch" to suit it a little more. [08:23] MasterofPu: Yeah I was there and I can't figure out which is the equivalent [08:23] :( [08:23] guest1048939, welcum ) [08:23] :) [08:23] (to suit the distro setup) [08:23] Thought someone here might know [08:24] quietone: You could try a different bluetooth manager and see if that helps [08:24] Dizzo: The double-edged sword that is the technology market, my friend. A million different drivers to do the same thing = hell for tech support [08:24] !ssh [08:24] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage.

[08:26] depends [08:26] cjae: dmesg would likely tell you. [08:26] MasterofPuppets, at this stage I will try anything. what are the other ones I can try? [08:26] i.e. pull the drive out, plug it in, dmesg will end up with messages as the pendrive disconnects and reconnects [08:27] make sure the filesystem on the pendrive's unmounted first though [08:27] cjae: mount | grep pendrive [08:27] sweetpi: sheesh. Why didn't I think of that??? [08:27] quietone: There are a bunch. gnome-bluetooth, bluez-gnome, depends on what repositories you have and what's updated [08:28] MasterofPu: Do you think this one is it? RT8070/RT3070USB(RT307x) [08:28] Dizzo: found it! [08:28] GASP!! [08:28] Dizzo: Yeah, I just clicked that one too [08:28] MasterofPu: where?? [08:29] It's that one?? [08:29] you sure??

Do you think that is a problem? [08:30] quietone: I'm not sure, bluetooth is one of my less-knowledgeable areas. They shouldn't conflict if you've only set one up, but as I said, I can't be sure [08:32] is there a command line I can enter as root to force a user to log out?

[08:33] MasterofPuppets, I've been mucking around so much I'll purge and start from scratch. Thx for listening. [08:33] quietone: No problem, good luck! [08:33] [thor] I'm assuming it said that and you were in super-user mode?

Can this be related? Will the permissions go back to normal once i unmount with su? [08:37] all the kde app will appear in a different language [08:37] how can i solve this problem ? [08:39] bubuzzz, do you just want to change the theme for kde applicaions? [08:39] yes [08:39] bubuzzz, ok sudo apt-get install systemsettings [08:40] bubuzzz, then run systemsettings without suod [08:40] sudo [08:40] bubuzzz, there you can change kde application themes from kde to gtk2 [08:40] even the open office after installation also like that when i install openoffice-gtk [08:40] bubuzzz, you can also match exactly the gtk2 theme colors there [08:40] hey peeps there are some small partitions on my netbook what could they be? [08:41] Eryn_1983_FL Recovery partitions [08:41] [thor] Possibly, and possibly :P [08:41] one is like 7 gb and the other 49 mb [08:41] bubuzzz, if you want precise color matching you may also want to install agave then click the color patch and use the eyedropper to sample the colors on the gtk2 theme [08:41] i am so blowing them away i can recreate them later.. [08:42] Eryn_1983_FL They're likely recovery, but remember, if your hard drive explodes or gains sentience we're not legally accountable [08:42] Im trying to install ligtening following this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThunderbirdLightning (ubuntu 10.4) and I get an error on the thunderbird version, so I edited install.rdf (that page says it should work) but after restarting thunderbird, thers no record of the plugin.... [08:42] i now [08:42] i know [08:42] Eryn_1983_FL: 7gb is maybe recovery partition and 49mb is diagnostics partition. you likely wont be able to recreate them [08:42] in your crontab, can you specify @reboot @daily on the same line? [08:42] then how am i suppose to dualboot? [08:42] is it the problem of the color ? [08:42] i can only have like 4 partitions [08:43] it appear correctly [08:43] <[thor]> MasterofPuppets: loading nautilus with gksu doesn't show any external drives, mounted or otherwise. [08:43] only the language is different [08:43] Eryn_1983_FL: resize your windows partition and add an extended partition after windows [08:43] here is the screenshot [08:43] http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae280/jasonvoorheeszzz/Screenshot-12.png [08:43] [thor] type ls /dev/ in terminal, then [08:43] bubuzzz, oh oh I see...ok let me check systemsettings here hold on [08:43] it wont let me [08:44] there are 5 of them [08:44] two ntfs and one fat32 and an unknown 50 mb one [08:44] [thor]: Wait, hold on, outdated command [08:44] all sda so its not like i got another hdd [08:44] A friend of mine just installed ubuntu and seconds after i called me 'Moonlight plugin doesn't' work at all. I googled it for a few hours and found that there was no solution for that problem. I began to investigate and a few hours later I finally got enough debug data to see the problem. I couldn't find any documentation from ubuntu on this problem nor solution. Should I contribute with my solution or does anyone know if it's allready there ? [08:44] <[thor]> MasterofPuppets: http://pastebin.com/xBtZsLR4 [08:45] bubuzzz, in systesmsettings there is "Regional & language " I believe you should be able to change the language back to yours [08:45] [thor] Is the drive connected to the computer?

Is this possible? [08:51] i switch to #xubuntu now :D [08:51] it is weird [08:51] Eryn_1983_FL: not sure about your layout, but you could verify what is your diagnostics partition and either back it up and delete it or just delete it if your not worried. then you should be able to resize one of your ntfs partitions and add a new partition [08:51] i never had this problem when still on gnome [08:52] sweetpi: i got taken care of i dont think i need a recovery partition for windows anywyas [08:52] bubuzzz, yeah I am not real familiar with xfce settings but I bet the people in #xubuntu or #xfce might know [08:52] so what's the diffente between autopackage exec and .deb?

What process controls that? [08:55] Eryn_1983_FL: point. just making sure you understand if you need to reinstall windows on a netbook your going to have fun times unless you have a cd drive on it or a recovery partition === toasmos is now known as avogadro [08:56] <[thor]> MasterofPuppets: sda1 yields ---> according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on / || sda2, sdb, sdb1, sdc, sdc1 yields ---> can't find /dev/sd?? in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab || sda5 yields ---> mount point none does not exist [08:56] can i use a usb dvd drive? [08:57] [thor]: Odd... one second [08:57] Eryn_1983_FL: as long as your bios supports booting from usb, and you have the restore cd [08:57] There is no easy way to make an usb stick bootable with windows install media from linux [08:57] well its booting now, and i got pleny of cds laying around with winxp [08:57] <[thor]> i don't suppose there is an easy way to undo these recent updates? [08:58] You haven't lost your recovery partition for sure until "testdisk" tells you that you have. [08:58] [thor]: It's a bit of a hassle, I'd say [08:59] can anyone help me, I changed the ownership of the var directory, and then my mysql database stopped working, so i switched it back to root, but now i can't create databases in phpmyadmin [09:00] <[thor]> MasterofPuppets: if it gains me access to my TBs of data sitting behind this error message, i'm willing to wade through pretty thick muck. [09:00] [thor]: We know that sda1 is your internal hard drive, I just need to figure out what the externals are [09:00] [thor]: if you don't mind, run sudo fdisk -l [09:00] <[thor]> sda5 is swap i think [09:00] (that's an L, not a 1) [09:01] <[thor]> http://pastebin.com/s3mrcZrT [09:02] [thor]: So I'm gonna go with sdb1 and sdc1 being your two externals [09:02] does anyone know why sometimes a double quotation mark (??) appear on bmon? [09:02] <[thor]> MasterofPuppets: that seems like the logical choice [09:02] [thor]: Do you have a directory you want to mount them to? === inovaspa is now known as lorenzo === lorenzo is now known as lorenzom [09:02] where can I find ubuntus initial login script for users? [09:03] <[thor]> MasterofPuppets: not particularly.. i'll take anywhere as a start.. i think it has something to do with my authorization settings, or auths set on the drives before reboot. [09:04] [thor]: Well, if you're ok with anywhere, we can keep it simple. Type this into the terminal: sudo mkdir /mnt/hdd [09:04] I want to build code that is written for libc4 32 but will run on a 64 bit ubuntu system. Is this possible? [09:04] Hello again. [09:04] [thor]: Then, try sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/hdd [09:05] I founda program that should work...icecast...but when I try to run it it says could not write log file [/var/log/icecast/stats.log]. Exiting. [09:06] The DKMS part of my ATI driver installation is failing, how can I fix this ? [09:06] <[thor]> MasterofPuppets: great success! CLI worked just fine that time. [09:06] <[thor]> MasterofPuppets: checking to see if i have permission in GUI [09:07] [thor]: Excellent! I should have asked you to fdisk sooner *blush* [09:07] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/265636/ [09:07] Is there a place where I can find a xorg.conf file that will provide vga output and work with Intel 945GM graphics ?

Good to know it worked out for ya :) [09:09] hi, is it possible to use OTR with empathy and if so, how to do it on ubuntu. Synaptic doesnt show anything. [09:09] zxy_64: no [09:10] (I know this because it's one of the complaints I hear about Empathy often :\ ) [09:10] :-/ [09:10] https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/296867 [09:13] Meh. How come that whenever I use :echo -e ....: inside a bash or make script, I end up with -e in the output?

Is this possible? [09:16] uLinux, you want to eject the cd tray? [09:16] nevermind, ls -la / :D [09:17] [thor]: That's the problem with ubuntu (that I dislike); as it becomes more like Windows, the GUI gets more and more convoluted [09:17] coz_: i can eject using the terminal but i deleted that key [09:17] :\ [09:17] [thor]: In other words, I'm not sure how to help you find where the problem lies. I'm a terminal sort of guy :P [09:17] hi. I'm trying to get timidity working in ubuntu 10.04. I have installed timidity and freepats and I've since restarted. I'm trying to play a midi file with it, but it outputs a few lines that say "No instrument mapped to tone bank 0, program 43 - this instrument will not be heard" and I hear nothing. [09:17] it's XF86 something [09:18] uLinux, mm the default command for open cd tray is eject -T and eject -t for closing it [09:18] <[thor]> MasterofPuppets: http://uppix.net/5/b/c/deff6630df528d0ab0acf10ee74b2.png [09:18] can anyone tell me how to install gnome simple scan in ubuntu 9.10 [09:18] n1 coz_ better than use the buggy button form the harddrive [09:19] uLinux, what I usually do is use ctrl+tab for eject -T and ctlrl+grave for eject -t [09:19] coz_: what's the "grave" key [09:19] <[thor]> MasterofPuppets: as long as i can access the drives with /mnt/ i am ok.. the rest of the mystery will be solved eventually [09:20] uLinux, the key right before the #1 above the letters not the numpad [09:20] uLinux, well if you have a US keyboard that is [09:20] :P [09:20] uLinux, fine it it is t he ` and ~ key [09:22] it is XF86Eject i suppose lol [09:23] coz_: the default is XF86Eject :p [09:23] uLinux, mm [09:23] uLinux, well I usually use compiz to set the keybinding for this I generally dont do it in gnome-keybindings [09:23] I want to build code that is written for libc4 32 but will run on a 64 bit ubuntu system. Is this possible? [09:24] coz_: gnome compiz metacity.. [09:24] uLinux, ok so you use compiz ..yes? [09:24] Is there a way to re/detect VGA output after the system has booted ? [09:24] ofc [09:25] uLinux, ok open ccsm then go to general / general options / commands [09:25] coz_: it's easier to use keyboard shortcuts thing [09:26] uLinux, you can set eject -T as one of the commands and eject -t as another and go to either keybindins tab or edge bindings [09:26] [thor]: Unless gksu nautilus works for you, I dunno [09:26] uLinux, you can set it there...and believe me it is way nice to have this when running compiz... i would go nuts without it :) [09:29] coz_: menu key next to alt gr [09:29] it's not used [09:29] uLinux, ok... of course you can set the keybinding you prefer for this :) [09:29] lolol [09:29] i want to trolololol [09:30] ?

[09:33] uLinux, ah ok let me find a screenshot hold on [09:34] coz_: i could use pause break too it's useless === ferronica is now known as mantizz [09:34] uLinux, it looks like one of these ? http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=portuguese%20computer%20keyboard&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=798&sout=1 [09:35] coz_: mine is this http://www.digitalsaonline.co.za/catalog/images/Logitech%20Classic%20Keyboard%20200.jpg [09:36] but that's not portuguese lol [09:36] uLinux, ok that is pretty much the US layout as well [09:36] uLinux, are you sure compiz is running? [09:36] uLinux, and you enabeld the "Commands" plugin? [09:36] coz_: lol im not using compiz [09:37] ah [09:37] uLinux, ok as I said I have not tried this in gnome keybindings at all ... I only use this when compiz is running [09:37] coz_: im using pausebreak to eject it closes and open.. [09:37] uLinux, nice keyboard by the way [09:38] it's kinda small [09:38] uLinux, mm it opens and closes immediately or you have to press it again to close it? [09:38] how do i update my nvidia 7300GS graphic driver card on ubuntu 10.04 64bit gnome [09:38] coz_: press to open and close [09:38] using eject -T [09:38] is there a guide for troubleshooting vga for external monitors on laptops? [09:39] uLinux, and it is working for you this way? [09:39] hey [09:39] USB devices don't automount.. [09:39] coz_: yeah .. weird huh [09:39] I'm sorry guys [09:39] I switched off ubuntu [09:39] To windows xp [09:39] uLinux, well...if it works then cool :) [09:40] DARUDE: why? [09:40] ok, looks like installing the fluid-soundfont-gm helped. I guess freepats doesn't contain all of the fonts this midi has :) [09:40] I tried, the laptop kept freezing [09:40] It was unacceptable [09:40] This /spambots/ checks are a bit crazy. I am obviously not a bot.. === X_ is now known as Xae [09:40] It's either the laptop somehow doesn't support Ubuntu [09:40] Or the laptop doesn't like ubuntu [09:41] DARUDE: which version? [09:41] 10.04 [09:41] i installed it 2 days ago [09:41] Hi, i have a problem, users can't login with ssh, it hangs. this is after that the server is being coppied to another host (it's a vm). This is the logging: http://pastebin.com/r3pGfTEw [09:41] I identify on nickserv, etc, but why that is needed even to enter the channel (i think for new users, etc) [09:41] coz_: "Menu" key is the look with paper and mouse pointer [09:41] hello,somebody help me [09:42] ok ok, thats how its defending channel, but I suppose most people will understand this as "get bent" to new users.. and i don't like that [09:42] uLinux, oh ok I am not familiar with that [09:42] nikolam: It's better than the alternative. [09:42] DARUDE, my laptop is also slow as hell [09:42] I have to break here...bad toothache [09:42] I can't connect to the internet [09:42] 9.04 worked better for me [09:42] did uLinux give up on questioning me ;p [09:42] anyways, who can help me with my USB Automount problem.. [09:42] Xae, It wasn't slow, just freezing at random points. [09:42] I have ATI graphics, and want a dual monitor setup with separate X-sessions. But how? [09:42] Which was getting to ridiculous. [09:42] DARUDE: maybe your pc is too slow for Lucid [09:42] I think kicking new users and kicking for even unwillingly nick change (timeout, etc) are not happiest things in the world. [09:42] Laptop. [09:43] DARUDE: try older versions.. older doesnt worse [09:43] AMD64 1.6ghz 1.2gb of ram [09:43] how do I connect to the internet using pppoeconf [09:43] it randomly freezes uLinux [09:43] it makes no sense [09:43] DARUDE: weak CPU [09:43] yes, but it shouldn't freeze [09:43] nikolam: Since this isn't related to Ubuntu support, consider complaining in #ubuntu-offtopic instead. [09:43] rww, right [09:43] DARUDE: try to run 9.04 [09:43] too late [09:43] I am on WinXP now [09:43] DARUDE, so you came here to gloat ? [09:43] uLinux, should i also hop back to 9.04? [09:43] !troll [09:43] lol have fun [09:43] trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [09:44] how do I connect to the internet using pppoeconf [09:44] airtonix, I came here to say I am sorry [09:44] I tried.

[09:44] guys, don't feed the troll [09:44] DARUDE: try to install vista or win7 and ull see what's freezing.. lol [09:44] ok Xae [09:45] can anyone direct me to software to configure applarmor in ubuntu?!

(keyboard indicator). i managed to restore it, but now instead of showing the layout (before it showed ESP for spanish, RUS for russian, etc), now i have just a 'weelchair man' icon. i'd like to enable the layout initialisms i had before. i couldn't find anything simmilar in the 'add to panel' or in keyboard preferences settings. [11:06] the grub would make an entry for win7 ? [11:06] obiobi, keyboard layout switcher is not applet [11:06] I just added a panel and it shows up like this: http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/7060/selection001l.png [11:06] andreiutz: i see no reason why not [11:07] how is that possible [11:07] popey, thank you very much [11:07] st__, thank you very much [11:07] obiobi, the icon is put there by gnome session daemion [11:07] karen_m: could u pls state the exact prob ?

[11:08] obiobi, open keyboard properties and check the 'show indicator' box [11:08] Destoned: using virtualbox, vmware, kvm or another virtualizer. yes [11:08] which would be the best choice? [11:08] is this a bug or from Ambiance theme? http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/7060/selection001l.png [11:09] Destoned: whatever works for you and you feel familiar with [11:09] uLinux, works as intended [11:09] whats with the floodbot?

[11:19] i need something like XP HIBERNATE [11:19] The good thing is that keeping a system up to date is that it might stay secure, but the bad thing is that it might (?) break. As I see it.

[11:24] on a different PC... [11:25] st__, but yea, that makes sense. and wouldn't be too much work considering I'm using a vps. I'd just clone it, install updates, check if everything is fine, delete the clone, and make the update on the production server. [11:26] madjoe: "my applications"? [11:26] jrib: all the applications I've installed on my Karmic [11:26] madjoe, you could move your home folder for the settings, though you might want settings in /opt and /etc too. possibly other places. look into debfoster for creating a list of packages you have installed.

[11:49] so when i have virtualbox installed, i just pop in the windows disc and install it..? [11:50] maedox, it's the client [11:50] randy2009, then you need nfs-client :) [11:50] hmm ok :) [11:50] i followed the online tutorials [11:50] they speek of nfs-common [11:51] hi [11:51] let's see if i can find nfs-client [11:51] Hi, I have a Dell machine, sound through inbuilt speakers work but the headphone jack is not working, any help ? [11:51] randy2009, oh wait, no you don't. you might need portmap though. [11:51] i tried installing wine, but them my mouse had a frozen animation so i used gnome monitor to close software centre [11:51] and now im trying to reinstall wine, but i cannot uninstall it, nor can i install it.

[11:52] guest194839, purge the package [11:52] * uLinux hates Ubuntu popups [11:53] maedox, i also installed portmap [11:53] pepee how might i do that [11:53] randy2009, ok, and then what did you do? what exactly are you trying to do? You want to connect to some NFS server right? [11:53] sudo apt-get install nfs-client does install nfs-common [11:53] Dell laptop, headphone jack not working, any help ?

I'm looking through my own docs on how I do it on our servers. Server: apt-get install nfs-kernel-server portmap nfs-common Client: apt-get install nfs-common portmap Then you need to add shares (exports in nfs) in /etc/exports on the server and mount them on the client. [11:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/498387/ [11:56] maedox, i have 2 servers, 1 host and 1 vm (kvm), the host contains 1 big ammount of space. I want to use nfs to connect to the host and mount it [11:56] maedox, that is also what i did [11:57] If possible, can some one tell me, if someone is faceing with the smae issue. ? I am using 2.6.32-24-generic in my MacBook 7.1. I am unabe to connect to acess point, although I can see the acess point in iwlist scan.

[12:00] sudo ufw status [12:00] Status: inactive [12:01] randy2009, but that IP is WAN, so there might be some physical firewall.

[12:03] randy2009, most importantly no nfsd [12:03] :3 [12:03] exactluy [12:04] randy2009, there should be no nfs-common [12:04] (it's on the client side) [12:04] What's the simplest way to install Ubuntu 10.04 from a USB drive? (I don't want to dual boot with that other OS. I just want to format the drive in EXT3 and install Ubuntu.) [12:04] randy2009, alright, how does it look on the server? [12:04] randy2009, careful with pasting text to the channel [12:04] 8* nfsd [12:04] randy2009, ok, good. [12:04] 1x nfsd4 and 1 nfsoid [12:05] sorry [12:05] randy2009, same as here, so that's fine. [12:05] yep, but on the client side, according to the tutorials i should start nfs-common (/etc/init.d/nfs-common) [12:05] but it does not exist [12:06] guys any of you experience problem using wine + word 2007? mine only prints the first page =( [12:06] randy2009, there is no service on the client side. you only have to mount the location. [12:06] i'll try telnetting [12:06] what does your server /etc/exports look like? === DaZ is now known as MoarCats [12:06] randy2009: did you set the export file up?

[12:08] jep [12:09] rpcinfo -p on server: 6x nfs [12:09] on port 2049 [12:09] randy2009, I'm out of ideas. Are you sure there's nothing between the servers stopping you?

[12:10] greywolf210, Firefox right? That bug is annoying as h***. Did you try the Hardware Drivers tool under System -> Administration? [12:10] i'll call my provider, brb, they said nothing should block things [12:10] no, I'll try that now, didn [12:10] didnt know that was there === bastidrazor is now known as bastid_raZor [12:11] quicky question... fairly novice with linux/ubuntu. my question... how do you do a direct connection to a serial port... like if I wanted to send direct AT commands to a modem or connect a console cable to a switch or whatever... can you do that directly from the shell? [12:11] why would samba reject my password when I'm, trying to connect to share?? [12:11] LonelyDragon757: echo foo >/dev/ttyS0(...x) [12:11] What software do you need to have installed in order to use php's mail()-function ? [12:12] st__, because the password or user is wrong, you didn't use smbpasswd, setup is wrong maybe more... [12:12] I'm not sure I have something installed, but I don't know what to look for :) [12:12] yoo [12:12] what does smbpasswd do? [12:12] Thanks maedox it looks like thats going to work. [12:12] greywolf210, great :) [12:12] how do i download linx backtrack? [12:13] st__: it creates smb users [12:13] and how setup may be wrong? I cannot see any control panel to customize it [12:13] st__: if you have user level security I think you need it [12:13] !backtrack >ac go to backtrack.org [12:13] ac, please see my private message [12:13] st__, it all depends on the setup of samba. I'm not an expert, but smbpasswd is used to create users/passwords for samba shares. [12:13] ok my grub died, and now I have the problem that I don't have a livecd that supports ext4 [12:13] st__, samba password is different with the box password. moreover the username should exist to the box your connecting to. [12:13] st__: Samba is configured using /etc/samba/smb.conf i believe [12:13] can you write a new livecd using an old livecd ? :) [12:13] i don't have shares, they are on windows machine [12:14] and I don't have any idea what should I put into config and why [12:14] thanks llutz.. let me try that [12:14] st__: is a password set on the shares? [12:14] st__, haha, it's all in the details man ;) you should have said that to begin with. you are on #ubuntu not #windows :P [12:14] st__: you don't need to configure the samba server if you just want to view shares on another machine [12:15] st__: if it asks for a password, you might just try a blank one if you didn't set any restrictions [12:15] tensorpudding, no, it's standard NT share, not a 9x one with password [12:16] maedox, the network was working perfectly fine until #ubuntu came along [12:16] anyone here know how i can run womclient on the ubuntu? [12:16] and it is working now btw [12:16] maybe it was a blip of some kind then [12:16] llutz. ok. maybe I may need to rephrase. can I open up a direct connect to get response back too? cause i dont know if it sent anything I am use to hypertermal from my windows days... [12:16] st__, it's a layer 8 issue. :D ok, good. It's just Ubuntu works with samba slightly differently than you are used to. [12:17] LonelyDragon757: use minicom [12:17] i am attempting to use IPCOP as my connector to my cisco switch [12:17] which backtrack should i downloaad? [12:17] iso simage?

[12:44] st__: modules get loaded as needed. thats one of the main points of modules [12:44] im not rude .... O COME ON BROTHERS. [12:44] or they are loaded one by one and then unloaded? [12:45] jawadsafi: theres alwyas the forums. [12:45] st__: the hardware 'system' watever that is.. loads them for the proper devices as needed normally. [12:45] actually ive been surfing the net DUMBLY :P, and ofcourse im completely new to the linux based Os's [12:45] i remember that 1 manual said that you have to mount you're directory which will be mounted [12:46] It used to be HAL i think. now its somthing else... [12:46] Is their a way to restart the gnome desktop without completely restarting the whole system, doing skin testing...? [12:46] randy2009, anything in /var/log/messages on the server when your client errors out? [12:46] but i thought i might get something to download , maybe [12:46] so /home/upload should be mounted as /export/upload, and the /export/upload should be in the config [12:46] but it cannot tell if such device exists until the module is loaded? or i'm not getting something? [12:46] i tried the ALSA ... no luck. [12:46] xbonesx: you mean other then loging out/back in? what 'skin' are you refering to? [12:46] xbonesx, "logout" [12:46] st__: 'dmesg' will mention devices seen, that may not even have linux support or modules loaded for them. [12:46] i didn't do that [12:47] lol i didnt know if logging out would take care of business but now i do hahaha [12:47] not skin testing either really im going to make my own... [12:47] How to repair broken packages from terminal? [12:47] Aqaz: can you pastebin the error? [12:48] so there is some table that maps devices pnpids and stuff to module names? [12:48] st__, use modinfo [12:48] st__ ive been suffering the same [12:48] jawadsafi, with samba? or what? [12:49] soundBA [12:49] randy2009, one moment, I'll send you what I have in our wiki for NFS setup. [12:49] :) [12:49] ChogyDan: It says 203 packages brojen [12:50] !paste | Aqaz [12:50] Aqaz: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [12:50] bye ppl [12:50] bye pepee [12:50] can we have an application or some package through which we are able to see which drivers we have and if we want to update them or a software like driverupdater through which we can update our drivers [12:50] ChogyDan: Yes ChogyDan. I know about it. I can only see that packages are broken. [12:50] oh so I can just delete excessive modules without hurming the kernel? [12:50] jawadsafi: linux doesn't work like tht [12:51] jawadsafi: what is the issue you are having ? [12:51] Aqaz: what command are you running? [12:51] its the sound [12:51] that im not having [12:51] unmuted [12:51] ChogyDan: Aye.. ubuntu says about it on startup! [12:51] jawadsafi: can you explain exactly the problem, have you ever had sound, or is it just some applications, etc [12:51] Aqaz: can you open up a terminal? [12:51] all that the hardware manager shows is the 3d card driver [12:52] ChogyDan: Yes.. next? [12:52] jawadsafi: that's not what I asked [12:52] jawadsafi: has the sound ever worked, is it all sound, is it just some applications [12:52] well the answer is coming now [12:52] Aqaz: pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get install -f` [12:52] the sound worked in mint [12:52] not here [12:52] not at all [12:52] jawadsafi: are you using ubuntu or mint now ? [12:53] randy2009, http://pastebin.org/1077667 it's kinda hard to read in plaintext, but hopefully you'll get something out of it. It's basically just a line in /etc/exports on the server and then mount it on the client. [12:53] where are kernel modules stored anyway? [12:53] ubuntu 10.04 LTS (lucid lynx) [12:53] jawadsafi: is it base install, or is it a wubi install (I saw you mention wubi earlier) [12:53] yes [12:53] wubi install [12:53] st__: generally /lib/modules/ [12:53] jawadsafi: was mint a wubi install ? [12:53] does wubi ignore some files ??? [12:53] jawadsafi: was mint a wubi install , yes/no [12:53] there's your issue right there jawadsafi. There are some weirdness happening alle the time with wubi install. [12:53] no.... mint was a MINT4WIN install [12:54] just like wubi [12:54] How to see what processes connects to the internet? [12:54] jawadsafi: ok, that is wubi, so it's the same, [12:54] oh thanks for the acknowledgment [12:54] jawadsafi: what sound card is in the machine ? [12:55] smbclient says: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE <-- what can be wrong? (ports are opened I believe) [12:55] maybe he choose a intel platform [12:55] maedox, thnx, i'll look into it [12:55] its the PCI creative (notmal) soundcard [12:55] s/choose/shose [12:55] konobi1234: lsof -i [12:56] jawadsafi: not an xfire is it ? [12:56] nopes [12:56] i got if from a friend.... plug n play something... wide shaped card [12:56] jawadsafi: type: lshw && lsusb && lsusb [12:56] jawadsafi: the shape makes no differences and all cards are plug and play thes edays [12:56] lspci [12:56] nogo: why lsusb ? [12:56] lspci [12:57] type if where ? [12:57] nogo: why lsusb though [12:57] list all your hardware [12:57] it's a sound card, not a usb device [12:57] ishw && isusb && isusb [12:57] lol [12:57] jawadsafi: type: lshw && lspci && lsusb [12:57] in the terminal ??? [12:57] nogo: again - why lsusb ? [12:57] in the console [12:57] L or I ? [12:57] nogo: it's a soundcard he's having a problem with [12:58] hi everybody [12:58] is there's some tool like lsmod but giving a flat output? [12:58] st__: lsmod is a falt output [12:58] flat [12:58] let me. [12:58] how do i make the wifi configuration system wide? right now, i am using networkmanager / kde. however, this is a static desktop machine. no mobility, and also it should be in the network, even when i am not logged in. [12:59] ikonia, for me it's not, it has 4 columns and header [12:59] ChogyDan: http://pastebin.com/aR2cSU7C [12:59] Hello everyone. I want to set up DNS adresses but Ubuntu doesn't apply them. What is the reason of this problem? Thank you for your help. [12:59] st__: yes, those colums are needed. [12:59] a long list came [12:59] Turbolinux: you mean you want to set the DNS servers your system is using? [12:59] jawadsafi: if you are in the gnome, you can use an app called 'system profiler and benchmark' [13:00] ikonia how do i write to you so that the font shows RED in color [13:00] Aqaz: wow, that's allot of language packs [13:00] jawadsafi: I have no idea, that depends on your client [13:00] Yes but the ''Apply'' button is inactive. What is the reason? [13:00] jawadsafi, include 'iconia' in the text [13:00] ChogyDan: Yes plus ubiquity.. but why? [13:00] i have the KONVERSATION [13:01] is there is C compiler for the OSX ?? [13:01] Turbolinux: you could just edit /etc/resolv.conf , somehow i got a custome DNS entry in there in addation to my isp's [13:01] Aqaz: well, I think the main concern is those packs, did you install any language stuff recently? [13:01] VirusTB: i imagine there is.. [13:01] VirusTB: ask the apple guys, this is ubuntu support [13:01] can i please get help from IKONIA only at the moment.... sorry in advance. [13:01] jawadsafi: wtf is that card? [13:01] Hi, I have a wireless HSIA usb modem and a wifi connection. If i forward a localport through ssh using the internet connection from the usb modem, can the other computer connected to the wifi router access internet from my computer's port? [13:01] ChogyDan: Nah..fesh install [13:01] VirusTB: Specify... os x comes with gcc et al if you install xcode [13:01] ChogyDan: *fresh [13:01] jawadsafi: ? nogo is guiding you, listen to what he's saying [13:01] that is aN IRC CLIENT hehe [13:01] VirusTB, well at least GCC does work on OS X [13:02] ok NOGO. [13:02] anyone? i notice that in the network settings there is a disabled checkbox "system connection" [13:02] GUIDE ME [13:02] Dr_Wills: Which section in configuration file? [13:02] Is Synaptics(touchpad) sdk abailable for ubuntu? [13:02] where is the system profiler ? [13:02] konobi1234, lsof | egrep 'TCP|UDP' [13:02] Turbolinux: the file /etc/resolv.conf has the DNS server settings used by the system. But network manager might overwrite/change that file. [13:03] ikonia: sorry lol wrong room :P [13:03] nogo where is the system profiler ? [13:03] jawadsafi: in your menu? [13:03] ChogyDan: So what should I do? [13:03] Aqaz: aptitude why language-pack-aa [13:03] I'm building VLC and ffmpeg from source, but I already have them installed as packages and there are things that depend on them. How do I remove the apt-get packages and build from source without screwing up the dependencies? [13:03] Is anyone here good with ssh/portforwardin [13:03] I asked which area is suitable for setting in configuration file but NM doesn't do this process. [13:03] why does every time i open chrome i get message "please check that you sufficient privilages to open " [13:04] hi, on booting up UNE installer for my netbook, it gets stuck at a page with a small man in a circle with an = sign and a keyboard. Does this page have a name so I can google it? [13:04] maedox thx, also i found netstat -p | egrep 'tcp|udp' [13:04] It doesn't set them. [13:04] rockhopper: lots of folks here, i suspect. easier if you just pose your question to the channel directly :-) [13:04] Sentynel, you better make a package for them [13:04] konobi1234: netstat -tulpen [13:04] Dr_Wills: It doesn't apply them. [13:04] aufs on / type aufs (rw,append:/apache2) <-what does my root tells me [13:04] jawadsafi: there is another app called 'gnome device manager', it can tell you the hardware info from hal. [13:04] aptitude why language-pack-aa [13:04] nogo im installing it now [13:04] i language-pack-aa-base Depends language-pack-aa (>= 1:10.04+20100421) [13:04] sipior, i've posted the question already [13:04] icarus-c: I'm building git versions, how would I go about doing that? [13:04] ChogyDan: ^^ [13:05] What do I need to have installed in order to be able to send mail from a website? [13:05] Turbolinux: i just edited my /etc/resolv.conf by hand.. and the change took affect. I rarely use network manager to change the stuff like that. [13:05] you know like a keyboard = \o/ [13:05] sipior, here again Hi, I have a wireless HSIA usb modem and a wifi connection. If i forward a localport through ssh using the internet connection from the usb modem, can the other computer connected to the wifi router access internet from my computer's port? [13:05] rockhopper: this is irc. people come and go. people aren't always paying attention to the channel. [13:05] Aqaz: aptitude why language-pack-aa-base [13:05] Turbolinux: you may need to set it to be a static ip in network manager. i seem to recall others having to do this int he past [13:05] Sentynel, the package may have been on PPA already [13:05] ok nogo bro .. i got it [13:06] ChogyDan: $ aptitude why language-pack-aa-base [13:06] BB language-pack-gnome-aa Depends language-pack-aa-base (>= 1:10.04+20100421) [13:06] or maybe there is a channel for UNE ? [13:06] rockhopper: yes, look at the -D option for ssh, which sets up a SOCKS proxy for you to point the other machine towards. [13:06] Turbolinux: i notice that network manager has a 'auto DHCP - address only' setting.. that would i think let you change the dns [13:06] Aqaz: again! [13:06] Aqaz: with gnome-aa [13:06] nogo [13:07] But I could change them before. [13:07] icarus-c: I'm building latest git here, there isn't. (The same goes for Amarok, but I don't have any dependencies on that one so it's not been a problem.) [13:07] I could do this. [13:07] jawadsafi: what matter? [13:07] how to add sound icon back to panel? [13:07] sipior, I normally use this syntax If i'm only on ONE network only, ssh user@host -L bindaddress:port:localhost:port [13:07] Now it doesn't do. This is strange. [13:07] ChogyDan: aptitude why language-pack-gnome-aa [13:07] Unable to find a reason to install language-pack-gnome-aa. [13:07] sipior, But my question is, will that usb internet access shared over the wifi network? [13:08] Turbolinux: the user you are logged in as has sudo rights? [13:08] Aqaz: hmmm, let's try removing all of them: sudo apt-get remove language-pack* [13:08] anyone here with an idea for my wifi problem? (how to make wifi settings system wide, not user-specific) [13:08] jawadsafi: have you installed 'gnome device manager' and 'system profiler and benchmark'? [13:08] oO [13:08] Yes it has superuser capabilities. [13:08] hi there [13:09] ChogyDan: Serious? [13:09] Aqaz: either that, or install them all [13:09] ChogyDan: Wouldn't it mess my system? [13:09] It has ''Sudo'' rights. [13:10] Turbolinux: no idea then. I can change them here with no issues. Or i can just edit the /etc/resolv.conf if i want to change it quickly. but NM may overwrite tose changes on the next reboot. [13:10] it has two things in the multimedia audio controller ....1.

(I am running Lucid 10.04) [13:36] nogo, thanks for your time. now i added that command to startup aps let see what happens [13:36] brb [13:36] Aqaz: and the install command? [13:36] ChogyDan: Huh? [13:36] Aqaz: sudo apt-get install language-pack-en-base [13:37] ha, i just uninstall all zh packs [13:37] uninstalled [13:37] Hello, When I try to mount my hardrive I get this, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/gJG9GDNk What do i do?

[13:38] ChogyDan: http://pastebin.com/QyAJtZs5 [13:38] !remaster | g4tsu [13:38] g4tsu: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [13:38] haha i have remastered myself [13:38] !help [13:38] 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. :-) [13:38] Aqaz: actually, you may want to use aptitude, this is certainly a pain tracking these packages down, one at a time. [13:38] Shit, well nobody can help. [13:38] AbhiJit, already seen but it doesn't work [13:38] Aqaz: now language-pack-en [13:39] how to setup VNC on startUP [13:39] Hello, When I try to mount my hardrive I get this, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/gJG9GDNk What do i do? [13:39] ChogyDan: Please specify me the solution :) [13:39] Ghagg: do like it said - boot into windows and run chkdsk [13:39] Aqaz: is that all aptitude says? doesn't give any options? [13:39] how to setup VNC(Remote Desktop) on startUP in ubuntu 10.04 gnome 64bit [13:39] Aqaz: o well, language-pack-en [13:39] well_laid_lawn, how about an alternative that is GNU and not disgusting closed source oppression? :) [13:40] how to setup VNC server(Remote Desktop) on startUP in ubuntu 10.04 gnome 64bit? [13:40] Ghagg: it is windows filesystem that is borked - you need windows to fix that [13:40] i have process that wont die. tried kill -9 PID but still wont die. [13:40] ChogyDan: aptitude: http://pastebin.com/Jmmyi6Ej [13:40] mantizz : try System > Preferences > Startup Applications [13:40] mantizz: get x11vnc and add them to start-up app [13:40] Can only boot when the USB stick, I jused for installation is plugged in. Someone can show me a thread, where someone had the same problem, or can help me please? [13:40] sKeith: then you have a zombie [13:41] hello everyone [13:41] well_laid_lawn, there has to be a way [13:41] Aqaz: say yes, be happy :) [13:41] Ghagg: you prob could have it fixed by now... [13:41] mantizz: and maybe see xinetd [13:41] ChogyDan: What? [13:41] that's right ignore the newbiw [13:41] Aqaz: y [13:41] I do not have the latest kernel updated How do I update this? (I am running Lucid 10.04) [13:42] ravibn: which kernel do you want? [13:42] ChogyDan: I didn't get what you meant by that.. [13:42] : ii want to get VNC from login window. so that can login from another PC [13:42] the process is holding a mount open and cannot umount until process gone. how do i kill zombie [13:42] Aqaz: line 493, y [13:42] chogyDan : latest one [13:42] Aqaz: Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] <---- Y [13:42] how to change resolution of tty? [13:42] ChogyDan: http://pastebin.com/0YNa29gP [13:43] Aqaz: are you using more than one terminal? [13:43] : by default Remote Desktop is enough for me, i just want control from login page of ubuntu [13:43] I cannot find the network-manager in the "add to panel" content. How can I put it there and bring it back to my panel? [13:43] !tty [13:43] To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [13:43] ChogyDan: No. No software centre. No synaptic, no terminal [13:43] wel_laid_lawn, as much as I'd love moving a 3 kilo hard drive, try to fix something on the broken, unfixable kernel that is NT and windows, I'd prefer using my BRAIN and using linux [13:43] sKeith, zombies as already dead. umount -f if you're sure about it. [13:43] thanks maedox [13:43] : remote desktop is already in startup application.. [13:44] Aqaz: well that is weird, but... [13:44] : Is there any way :( [13:44] !aptlock | Aqaz [13:44] Aqaz: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [13:44] Now well_laid_lawn, Since I too exist, I should be entitled to an answer that does not involve using a retarded OS. Fair? Fair. [13:44] ChogyDan: Yes.. don't know [13:44] mantizz: so what's the problem if it does work already [13:44] ChogyDan: kk ...sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [13:45] Ghagg: you can keep fighting the obvious if you want but don't include me pls [13:45] well_laid [13:45] ChogyDan: http://pastebin.com/RdeLZeNU [13:45] well_laid_lawn, your answer is illogiccal and broken, you are now considered a troll, stop trolling now. [13:45] heh [13:45] Remenber I'm deleting previous pastebins as well :) [13:46] : not gettin login window of ubuntu from my other system, i have first go to ubuntu to login to get VNC [13:46] still won't dismount. (umount /mnt/snapshots/main umount2: device or resource busy) (fuser -m /mnt/snapshot/main = 10803) 10803 is process that wont be killed [13:46] Aqaz: are you sure you cleared that first aptitude commmand? otherwise just say Y [13:47] : want to check [13:47] mantizz: a daemon...read xinetd [13:47] ChogyDan: [1]+ Killed sudo aptitude install language-pack-en-base [13:47] Aqaz: hmmm, looks like you hadn't finished with that other command, maybe you hit ctrl+z or something, anyway, try again [13:47] Ghagg, did you do what the error message suggested? You are trying to mount a frikkin screwed ntfs volume in Ubuntu, which is asking for trouble. [13:47] ChogyDan: Yes..okay [13:48] Well maedox, what do you think will fix all the problems ever? [13:48] Magic pony? [13:48] : what is that for [13:48] mantizz : look at this http://www.softpanorama.org/Xwindows/vnc.shtml you may get what you want [13:48] Ghagg, format the drive with mkfs.ext4 ;) [13:48] ChogyDan: Its upgrading.. [13:48] : okay i will check [13:48] mantizz: search from google...x11vnc xinetd [13:48] ChogyDan: Removing language-pack-af ... [13:48] Removing language-pack-am ... [13:48] Removing language-pack-an ... [13:48] Ghagg, yes, a magic pony might actually work :D [13:49] maedox, great. and the 112 gigs of my brothers windows based suff...it can do what? dissapear then re-appear? [13:49] ChogyDan: and all :) [13:49] Ghagg: the standard advice for dirty ntfs partitions is to bootup windows, just so windows can clean it up [13:49] Aqaz: perfect :) [13:49] hi all [13:49] Ghagg, it will disappear, but it will mount properly. [13:49] ChogyDan: Hold on but [13:49] is there a more forceful umount than -f [13:50] chogyDan : you did not tell me how I can go abt updating my PC with latest kernel [13:50] sKeith, reboot [13:50] hepl with v10.10 beta [13:50] ChogyDan: What was the command that did this? [13:50] ravibn: just update as regular. You will get kernel updates over time [13:50] sKeith, no, don't force it. A reboot might be needed to get rid of the zombie. [13:50] if i delete /etc/fstab and reboot what would happen ? [13:51] Bill: you'll want to ask in #ubuntu+1 [13:51] cellD, you would get a bunch of errors and no filesystem. [13:51] Bill: either the ubuntu+1 channel or here http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=385 [13:51] :D === denny_ is now known as denny [13:51] celld: probably bad things™ [13:51] thanks [13:51] Aqaz: the problem in the first place? I don't know. You may want to make sure ubuntu-desktop is installed [13:51] chogydan : that regular updates are happening but I am not sure with the kernel updates [13:51] actuallu i wanted to remake my fstab.. coz i changed my HDD sequencing due to a sta cable error [13:51] Done [13:51] replaced it by a new open my fstab is a mess. [13:51] it hangs on reboot, stops at a login shell but no keyboard allowed, except alt+f1 etc works so that part of keyboard is still allowed.crtl+alt+del does nothing etc. so i thought i'd try fix before rebooting [13:51] Hello [13:52] Is there any way I can see all the folders I've mark as "Shared folders"? [13:52] cellD, use sudo blkid to find the UUID of the drives installed, then edit fstab very carefully. [13:52] ok [13:52] ravibn: well, the kernel only goes through a major upgrade with new releases [13:52] will try it [13:52] thansk... [13:53] cellD, make a backup of the file first, so you can fix it with a live-cd [13:53] i just installed Macubuntu, a new theme pack..its awesome :) [13:53] is there some program to paint a picture on the desktop or chacge its color? [13:53] smbclient says: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE <-- what can be wrong? (ports are opened I believe) [13:53] pinta [13:54] st__: system, preferences, appearance, background usually [13:54] quiescens, i don't have gnome [13:54] you can also try Bisigi themes [13:54] google it :0 [13:54] st__: that could have been mentioned [13:55] I only can boot when the USB drive is attached, need to change some GRUB settings maybe? any idea? [13:55] st__: the most basic way would be to use xsetroot [13:55] thn whats your DE? [13:55] jollyman: sounds like you put grub on the usb [13:55] yeah.. [13:55] Wow who knew, it worked without using windows [13:56] Isn't that FUNNY eh, lawn? [13:56] Funny, HMMMM? [13:56] :)) [13:56] well_laid_lawn: It was the default installation, but I stoped it, at the point, where it wiped the swap drive, because it took too long [13:56] How it worked. Without windows. Which was what you said can only help. But it didn't and it hasn't and you were wrong. [13:56] It won't let me embark on top of an elven or human city. :P [13:56] Hmm, odd? [13:56] Emry: Er? [13:57] Ack' [13:57] Wrong window. :P [13:57] Sorry. ^^;; [13:57] Emry: :) [13:57] That was meant for the Dwarf Fortress channel I am in. hehehe :) [13:58] well_laid_lawn: my USB drive wasn't deleted, and I cannot see any "grub" entry [13:58] Emry, what is that channel? [13:59] jollyman: maybe stopping it wasn't a good idea - installed much on it? [13:59] how to specify a color for xsetroot? [13:59] jollyman, you stopped the installation when it wiped swap and you wonder why it doesn't boot? [13:59] I am just finished configuring everything and back to normal work :/ [14:00] maedox: yes, because it said, installation is finished.. [14:00] st__: "man xsetroot" shows all sorts of options for you to play with [14:00] I couldn't change reslution of tty as said in !tty [14:00] maedox: can I somehow do anything now? [14:00] sipior, except the color format [14:01] !grub | jollyman, if the installation finished ok, you can install grub to your harddrive [14:01] jollyman, if the installation finished ok, you can install grub to your harddrive: 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. [14:01] !grub2 | jollyman [14:01] jollyman: 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 [14:02] maedox: thanks, If I mess that up, it might still boot from usb I guess? [14:02] or is that easy with the GRUB entry? [14:02] st__: it won't accept hex code colours, if that's what you mean :-) have you tried just giving it the name of a colour? [14:02] I'll try thank you all [14:03] ChogyDan: Thanks :) [14:03] Hello all, is this a good place to look for info on a TV tuner i have to run under ubuntu? - yes i did try google [14:03] interesting [14:04] jollyman: Use this tutorial to reinstall grub to the pc. http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html [14:04] Hi i cant get aircraft manager to work on ubuntu 10.04, i get to install it and i can press the icon but it doesnt start up, any auggestions why ? [14:05] st__: its just '#000000' through '#ffffff', or any named colour in /etc/X11/rgb.txt [14:05] how to ignore joins and quits is irc? [14:05] !bttv [14:05] Sipu: you can try and start from the terminal to see errors [14:05] it* [14:06] quiescens: does it in fact accept hex code colours? that's good to know. (i don't think it did the last time I checked, but that was around 1996 :-) [14:06] if i launch it as start in terminal it just shows "wifi status" nothing else [14:07] Sipu: does it have a -v switch for verbose? [14:07] no idea ;P [14:07] I have a mobo here, it has trouble posting, sometimes it will get to grub, sometimes it will get past grub, sometimes it will work for a while, however it has crashed out of Ubuntu with yellow lines on the screen, is it most likely a replacement job? [14:07] I have a device that is supose to do serial and ip over usb and when i plug it in the ip comes up fine but the serial devices don't seem to come up... is there a way to check to see if anything is going over the existing serial ports or is there something i need to do that will enable my "added" virtual serial ports to come up? [14:08] is # means something in bash? [14:08] can anyone help me find any info on a "KWorld USB Tv tuner" to work on ubuntu? - its the UB499-2T version.... I've tried googling it but cant find anything on this model [14:08] st__: yes, that's why I said '#000000' [14:08] st__: yes, it's a comment. [14:08] even in command line o_O [14:09] st__: same parser running... [14:12] philinux: thank you! [14:12] Does postfix need sendmail in any way? If not, should I remove sendmail - because it's then rather pointless to have it installed yes? [14:12] Perhaps I even could run into some problems if I'm having both installed ? [14:13] .close [14:13] koltroll: yes remove it... i thought that apt wouldn't let you have two mta's installed. [14:14] erUSUL, Well I managed :p [14:15] erUSUL, but I'll try to remove it! :) [14:15] jollyman: Good one [14:15] erUSUL, oh. It seems like when installing one mta the other one gets removed automatically! [14:16] :) [14:17] koltroll: are you sure sendmail is actually installed, postfix does supply a binary called sendmail to support applications that are expecting it to exist [14:17] is there any way of getting different icons on different virtual desktops? [14:17] turtle__, probably no as they are illusions [14:19] maedox, i'm out of options, i'm going to search for samba information, thx for you're time! [14:20] b0ot: do « tail -f /var/log/messages » and plug the device. new messages will appear. look if any of them mentions serial or /dev/ttyUSBn devices [14:20] randy2009, that's too bad. sorry I couldn't help you. [14:22] Hi i cant get aircraft manager to work on ubuntu 10.04, i get to install it and i can press the icon but it doesnt start up, and when i run it in termal it only shows me "wifi status",any auggestions why ? [14:23] How do I kill a certian TTY seesions without killing my own open session? [14:23] erUSUL, I get a lot of bad CDC descripters messages about (8 of them) and then I get a usbcore: registered new interface driver rndis_host and usbcore:registered new interface driver rndis_wlan [14:24] I need a live version for installing the Grub2 but only have a 128 mb usb stick and no cd drive. Can I do that also with a non-ubuntu distribution? [14:24] bonjour tout le monde [14:24] thx for temp [14:24] i must use webirc - weird corporate standards ;) [14:25] b0ot: so only nic driver discovered :(. have you googled the device model? maybe it needs something like usb_modeswitch ? [14:26] est ce qu'il y a un français ? [14:26] smbclient says: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE <-- what can be wrong? (ports are opened I believe) [14:26] erUSUL, the manufacturer has a driver for windows but not linux [14:27] st__ still struggling with samba? [14:27] yes ( [14:27] st__, did you try Places > Connect to Server , Windows share ? [14:27] good luck sir. i had a nightmare trying to set it up on a network with 3macs and 2 pcs [14:28] bonjour [14:28] maedox, I believe it boils down to same samba library that powers smbclient... [14:28] st__, turtle__, it works fine, you just need to do it right. :D [14:28] thats where the problem comes in :] [14:28] wouldn't logon_failure imply an authentication problem [14:28] maedox, and gvfs gui for it just keeps asking password [14:29] st__, I can connect fine to our file server at work with the Connect to server thing and via nautilus smb://..., and mount it with cifs. works like a charm, that is also with username password in LDAP. At home I'm using samba on Ubuntu to share with a WDTV box. [14:29] never tried the smbclient in CLI [14:29] Is openssh-server started by upstart in ubuntu, or is there a sysvinit script? [14:30] Is there a way I can kill a certian session, without killing all the sessions from the same user? I have tried killing the PID but it doesn't seem to work [14:30] quiescens, like? [14:30] silasdavis, It's a service. It's started by upstart. upstart replaces sysvinit [14:30] silasdavis, Although I'm pretty sure you can still use the sudo /etc/init.d/scriptname doSomething commands [14:30] Update Manager is not installing updates. I select the 'Install Updates' button (it starts the process as usual, like it's about to start updating), but then it just brings me back to to the beginning, it's like it's not able to connect to the servers or something. Any having the same problem? Suggestions? [14:31] astrojp, Use sudo apt-get upgrade to update on the cli and get some error messages. [14:31] edbian: thanks. [14:31] hello all [14:31] st__, is this a normal manual share on windows (version?), not a system share? (e.g. c$) [14:31] astrojp, Yep! [14:32] Does anyone here have experience setting up dyndns without installing their update client locally? [14:32] edbian: so is it service start sshd? [14:32] maedox, it;s plain and simple share on windows xp prof [14:32] silasdavis, Yeah? I don't remember the syntax exactly and I'm not on an Ubuntu machine right now [14:32] service sshd start [14:32] nor am I.. [14:32] zimmer: thanks [14:33] ehcah: are you using the update client built into your router instead? [14:33] Trying to set it up the server itself to keep in touch. [14:33] erUSUL, if I knew what chip was in there would that help... I believe the device is using: http://www.maxim-ic.com/datasheet/index.mvp/id/4296/t/do [14:34] ehcah, you will need an update client installed then, there are others out there you can get that will run on the server version of Ubuntu [14:34] anybody [14:35] st__: what arguments are you using for smbclient? do the usernames/password match? etc [14:35] crankygeek01: Does it make sense that I was running F12 and OpenDns without a client? [14:35] I would have thought I could do the same with Ubuntu. [14:35] quiescens, i;m providing -U and enter password from console === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [14:36] having problem with C source code [14:36] b0ot: can not find anything relevant ... sorry [14:36] i cannot set quotas for user in my system (ext3) on my power-pc based NAS - is there any alternative to limit user space other than quota? I cannot modify partitions nor kernel [14:37] edbian: 'sudo apt-get upgrade' updated my machine. Maybe it was an Update Manager gui "thing". Thanks again. [14:37] ehcah: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DynamicDNS and http://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/ There is some good info there that should get you up and going.... [14:37] astrojp, Alright then! Problem solved? [14:37] yep. [14:37] erUSUL, how hard/is it possible to rewrite the windows drivers for linux or to fix the bad CDC desciptors? [14:37] anyone know how to set priority for default routes when you have multiple NICs with networkmanager? [14:37] ImaginaryFriend: what sort of error do you get when trying to set quotas? [14:38] b0ot: i do not think you can "rewritte" per se. you would need to writte a driver from scratch [14:38] sipior can i prv? [14:38] b0ot: maybe asking in linux-usb#vger.kernel.org ? [14:39] crankygeek01: Thank's for the url's. I will go through them. As an FYI, I think I am close. I'm down to the last error when I run the update commands fron dyndns.

[14:48] now I want to have another [14:48] build from source code [14:48] Is there Adobe Distiller for Ubuntu? [14:49] did anyone do it before ? [14:50] Aqaz, What does adobe distiller do? Adobe Distiller may work in wine. It is probably better / easier to just use some other app that does the same thing but is native on Ubuntu. [14:51] st__: I don't know, that error should really only ever be for failed authentication, wrong username or password, I'm not aware of any issues with smbclient [14:52] edbian: I'd like to optimize pdf files.. [14:52] Aqaz, Optimize them? [14:52] how come when i bring up tty consoles, it cuts the audio? it didn't do that yesterda?y [14:52] edbian: for example to use it for mobile devices..

[14:54] MACscr, what's the process? [14:55] SeaOrifice, You headphones and speakers are on separate channels from one another. I'm not aware of a way to automate switching them like you're looking for. Perhaps you can just use the sliders in the sound preferences. System -> Preferences -> Sound [14:55] maedox: root 1347 0.0 1.2 62336 48612 pts/12 Ds+ 07:59 0:00 /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 49 --unpack --auto-deconfigure /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.15.5.6ubuntu4.3_amd64.deb [14:55] MACscr, kill [14:55] its seemed to have frozen up while trying to do a simple upgrade last night [14:55] oooh thats clever, it will only use the sound from the user you log in to [14:55] fair play [14:55] edbian: lol, as i stated, kill isnt working [14:55] kill -9 either [14:55] MACscr, kill -9? [14:55] both dont seem to do anything with this process [14:55] MACscr, lsof -p 1347 [14:55] edbian: tried that , no fix [14:55] MACscr, Last time that happened to me I had to restart. [14:55] edbian: Well I've used that before. It cannot optmise pdf files [14:56] SeaOrifice, You can't control the volume on your speakers / headphones? [14:56] if i change the volume, it changes for both [14:56] Aqaz, I don't know then. I don't know anything about editing pdfs. I just googled "linux pdf editor" [14:56] maedox: http://pastebin.com/PZbyE6BL [14:56] SeaOrifice, Sounds like a hardware issue then? I'm not sure! :( [14:56] MACscr: state D is uninterruptible sleep, usually means its waiting for I/O [14:57] i would really rather not reboot. I do that every few weeks [14:57] ok no problem [14:57] MACscr, what kill signals did you send it? [14:58] i tried kill -9 1347 [14:58] [GNOME] How can I determine what program will be called if I press Indicator Applet Session > Hibernate? [14:58] is there an easy way to generate a list of installed packages so when i reinstall ubuntu, i can just refer to that list? [14:59] MACscr, ok, next time do kill -15, kill -2, kill -1 kill -9 is very hard. You will probably have to reboot. I would also run a fsck. [14:59] why can i not synchronize events from my evolution calender with google calender? If i put an event in my evolution calender it does not appear in google calender [14:59] Which package can help me attain this: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/MobileReaderWhitePaper.pdf [14:59] Slasher`: dpkg --get-selections [14:59] edbian: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/MobileReaderWhitePaper.pdf [14:59] thanks popey [15:00] how does one configure a dns update software client/clients to run on a network with several different OSs ? [15:00] MACscr: kill -9 should never be used. It is only useful for developers. [15:01] can anyone here tell me why I cant import music when Ubuntu One is installed in Rhythmbox? [15:02] Noscript update for firefox, just killed itself, leaving firefox in "restart me to activete plugin" state [15:02] is it a bug? in ubuntu 10.04 I don't have edit address in nautilus locations also dialog box . I need to copy a address from dialog box to open it in nautilus . why do they disable it ? [15:03] How can we edit .xmodmap file to print "Rupee" symbol? I tried Foradian font, and it works nicely. But switching the font is disturbing. [15:03] I just can click on previous path like a button . before when I double click on it. I can edit it [15:04] It is ₹ in HTML, and U+20B9, so can I set Ubuntu to print the sign? [15:05] mintux, press ctrl-l [15:05] maedox: nothing happened [15:05] in dialogbox ?

Something is wrong with the the link [15:07] Are there any GUI apps that help manage file & directory permissions that support ACLs, and setting all that UMASK junk? File permissions seem ridiculously complex in Ubunut when sharing files or having a work directory for collaboration. [15:08] what are some good repositories to add to ubuntu? [15:08] !repository [15:08] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [15:08] Smoodo, try eiciel [15:08] Smoodo, but POSIX ACLs are very primitive, I doubt you can achieve anything with them [15:09] !cairo [15:09] xbonesx, medibuntu , and in the package manager : canonical partners and other software sources [15:09] [GNOME] How can I determine what program will be called if I press Indicator Applet Session > Hibernate?

[15:14] maedox: it doesn't work for me [15:15] in dialog box . have you tried ? [15:15] mintux, oh I get it, this is not nautilus, it's an open file dialog. you can't copy the path from there I think. [15:15] I have a bit of an issue... I intalled the whole kubuntu-desktop package some time ago but I can't seem to update anything from the KDE desktop! [15:15] can somebody help me there? [15:15] elo [15:16] Hi, I've just installed ubuntu on an old machine to run a transmission-daemon. I've edited settings.json and added "invoke-rc.d transmission-daemon reload" to /etc/rc.local". Now transmission complains I don't have write access to the download folder. It is owned by root. What user is running the transmission-daemon? [15:16] what's the best media player for ubuntu [15:16] !best | OneMillionDollar [15:16] OneMillionDollar: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:16] OneMillionDollar, some might say VLC [15:16] !best | OneMillionDollar ;) [15:16] OneMillionDollar ;): Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:16] maedox:it's awful . before for select a icon there is no open file dialog. and I can see all icons in window and select it . and also in open file dialog. we can edit path . gnome sucks here . because it decrease the facilities [15:17] OneMillionDollar, it depends on your hardware, and what you'd like to do with it [15:17] xbonesx that screenshot makes you laugh you a off? [15:17] ** we could [15:17] why can i not synchronize events from my evolution calender with google calender? If i put an event in my evolution calender it does not appear in google calender [15:17] mintux, is that ubuntu? [15:17] mintux, it's non-standerd dialog from some lame toolkit, it's not gnome [15:17] maedox and I'd say mplayer ;) (sorry for repeat OneMillionDollar accident) [15:17] the default media player is like ........80's player [15:17] maedox: yeah . with different theme [15:17] so uninteresting and strange [15:17] anyone familar with setting up squid on ubuntu? [15:18] st__:so who worked bad? [15:18] OneMillionDollar: Try *mplayer and VLC [15:18] OneMillionDollar, and amarok while you're at it [15:18] ZykoticK9, yes, I might agree with you, but I guess it all depends. Let's leave it to the bots to fight it out :P [15:19] euptc: yes i get a kick out of the availability of desktop enhancements compared to windows [15:19] how i can share folders! i install samba, there's no /etc/samba/smb.conf like old ubuntu [15:19] oh ok [15:19] is mplayer = totem media player ? [15:19] Resnik, yes, just ask your question instead of asking if anyone knows it. [15:19] I don't have cmos password to chose "boot-from-cd", and winshit has overwriten grub in an update... is there any way to reinstall grub from win? any ubuntu cd of usb image that I can use for this? [15:19] OneMillionDollar, nope [15:20] I have a bit of an issue... I intalled the whole kubuntu-desktop package some time ago but I can't seem to update anything from the KDE desktop! [15:20] OneMillionDollar: No, entirely different. It doesn't even have one of those control panels UIs (though there are some GUI wrappers that add that.) [15:21] Is there an easy way to run an X session over SSH onto a Windoze machine? [15:21] pzn, find the motherboard manual and how to reset your BIOS settings. [15:21] crankygeek01; maybe look into freenx [15:21] maedox, notebook... should open it :-( [15:22] OneMillionDollar: (You use keyboard keys instead to change volume, skip, pause etc.) === remihachey is now known as DuCkNeT [15:22] pzn, crap, I keep forgetting that everyone use notebooks these days. There is probably a way. Some obscure key combo. [15:22] crankygeek01, "easy" i doubt it - you'd need to install an X server in Windows (is possible, but i've never done it) [15:23] geirha which player you talking about ? totem? [15:23] crankygeek01, yes. look up FreeNX in the ubuntu docs. [15:23] OneMillionDollar: No, mplayer. [15:23] crankygeek01, then install the NX client for windows. [15:24] please people, I need to update KDE... [15:24] why there's no mplayer in the installation list ? [15:24] crankygeek01, FYI FreeNX is VLC over SSH basically - different from ssh + xforwarding [15:24] [GNOME] How can I determine what program will be called if I press Indicator Applet Session > Hibernate? [15:25] ZykoticK9: s/VLC/VNC/ ;P [15:25] for some reason df -h is showing 521 G used on one of my drives, and i've searched and there's nothing... no hidden folders, etc any ideas how i can find what's taking this space? [15:25] If you you were to choose one thing that makes KDE better than ubuntu or vice versa, what would it be? [15:25] geirha, thanks :) [15:25] i'm afraid of totem player and its defualt visual effect [15:25] so creepy [15:26] maedox, the notebook is from my work... I think I'll work with win+putty for the next days. on monday I'll get back to company and they can they can type the cmos password... they won't tell me by phone. [15:27] OneMillionDollar: try using rhythmbox if you only want to listen to music, for videos I recommend vlc [15:27] maedox, anyway, thanks for your help.

Probably better to wait then. [15:29] no restart required if not using update manager ? [15:30] davirrirri, the people from windows live "closed" those "tubes" for other programs [15:30] OneMillionDollar, no, not unless you're prompted to do it.
