[00:00] Kyle__: this is a standard install or a VM? [00:00] tru3fate, keep it in channel please [00:00] Jordan_U: i don't want that, because i need to do some dev work on wireless-testing [00:00] What is the name of the command that invokes the gnome network manager? [00:00] askhader, nm-applet perhaps? [00:00] Okee, I got the dvd running and it is showing the main menu, but when I click play, it just shows me some snow. [00:00] is anybody of you using "MOCP" audio console player? [00:01] ZykoticK9, Im trying to store file path in a variable and afterward to send in to file util. [00:01] ok i removed kvm [00:01] how can i find a program i just installed?!!!! [00:01] tru3fate, when you removed kvm did it say certain packages where no longer needed? have you rebooted the system? [00:01] whats the matter with chroot? i dont understand it. I followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot but when i use schroot -l i get "deprecated key 'location' used and it tells me to update my configuration. i keep getting this message also if i type schroot and then use auto complete on my chroots [00:02] accerimer, ZykoticK9, blakkeim, it starts and shows the main menu, but when I try to play it, it just shows me some snow. [00:02] kens1962: dpkg -L packagename [00:02] dotanitis, the file path? do you mean $PATH as it's already a variable!? you can do something like "echo $PATH > filename" to output it to a file!? [00:02] Somelauw, try another dvd first [00:03] i just installed a program through terminal where do i find it now [00:03] okay, I'll try [00:03] ZykoticK9, no nothing just remove [00:04] tru3fate, have you tried vbox again? [00:04] dotanitis: file_path="/path to /file with spaces"; file "$file_path" [00:04] can someone please help me with schroot? [00:04] ZykoticK9, same error with it remove [00:04] kens1962: whereis in the terminal and name of program [00:04] tru3fate, have you rebooted? [00:04] kens1962: as in "whereis k3b" [00:05] ZykoticK9, reboot my box , or virtualbox [00:05] kens1962: did you get that? [00:06] its bittorrent [00:06] hi,is it possible to run windows remote desktop thru ubuntu? [00:06] kens1962: which client are you using? [00:06] i guess newest version of bittorrent [00:06] tru3fate, if it's a kernel module that's loaded, it might still be loaded even though you've uninstalled kvm (which i'm unsure if it uninstalled the kvm kernel stuff!), but rebooted would clear that stuff up - so i'd try it (it would be possible to do without rebooting if we knew the module name that kvm loads) [00:06] kens1962: transmission, vuze? [00:07] transmiion [00:07] transmition [00:07] kens1962: it should be in ur menut [00:07] Jordan_U, Thanks! but it doesn't work, but when writing file "/path to /file with spaces" its works..?!.. [00:07] accerimer, ZykoticK9, blakkeim, I tried another dvd and that one works correctly. [00:07] diverted: you followed the instructions "Note: In lucid the filename must not contain '.' , it should be lucid_i386_conf" ? [00:07] it isnt [00:07] wat do i go 2 lemme check [00:08] kens1962: if not then open a terminal and type whereis transmission, but i think it comes packaged in ubuntu by default [00:08] dotanitis: What is the exact code you're using? [00:08] ZykoticK9, i dont know if this helps (VERR_VMX_IN_VMX_ROOT_MODE) it also has that in the error [00:08] whats the current most recommended back up utility? I was just browsing through info about Sbackup? any other recommendations? [00:08] kens1962: open a terminal and type transmission, that will start it [00:09] im searchin for a song its not searchin [00:09] tru3fate, doesn't help me i'm affraid - i haven't used kvm in a million years, i only use vbox now (& vmware for school) - but this kvm/vbox issue has been around for a long time! [00:09] kens1962: what do you mean your searching? [00:10] i have no mouse.. could I control my mouse with the arrow keys (in X - fluxbox/Debian5) [00:10] in the search bar im tryin to download a song [00:10] Jordan_U: have the file "./b c/f2", writing the command: HI="./b c/f2"; file $HI but got error message... [00:10] im just trying to install some type of VM [00:10] dotanitis: You forgot quotes around the variable where you used it: file "$HI" [00:10] kens1962: transmissions a client do download from the bittorrent network, it doenst work like that [00:11] hm... [00:11] i want to download music how do i [00:11] i thought bittorrent does that [00:11] Jordan_U: Thanks! [00:11] dotanitis: You're welcome. [00:11] hey [00:11] ZykoticK9, is there another type i can use that is more useful less errors [00:11] ive formated my swap partition n since then i keep gettin: swapon: cannot find the device for UUID=f3c84cbe-4f72-4921-a73c-1b7b7a7e330d [00:12] for swapon -a [00:12] thune3, ok good point, i really had that wrong. so after renaming it i run debootstrap again? because at first after doing it i got success message [00:12] ZykoticK9: "Thanks & sorry about the PM thing... my bad..." [00:12] diverted: i'm not sure, the message you posted above seems like more of a warning than an error. [00:13] ok so i will do it again just to be sure [00:13] ?????? [00:13] how do i download music [00:13] tru3fate, your current issue is due to having too many installed at one time, i doubt adding more would help ;) vbox is GREAT for me, but VMware is good as well. i don't like kvm/qemu nearly as much, but it's all personal preferences/needs. [00:13] wit this bittorrent [00:13] Jordan_U: just to be sure, every time that i need to fatch the variable value, i need to use quotes? [00:14] dotanitis, all good man. hope you get your variable thing working [00:14] kens1962: find a torrent file and open it with the client [00:14] kens1962: are you registered with freenode? [00:14] hm, .. Not starting NFS kernel daemon: no support in current kernel [00:14] if i were president of us right now i would say release my people they are not spys < if they refuse level iran \ [00:14] no [00:14] 10.04 server [00:14] ZykoticK9, ok so ill uninstall everything dealing with vbox [00:14] Hi fellow bunters. [00:14] kens1962: yes, thats how all clients work [00:14] can i control my mouse cursor with the arrow keys? [00:14] hi! | MarcusEby [00:14] 1hi | MarcusEby [00:14] ZykoticK9: thanks to Jordan_U. [00:14] !hi | MarcusEby [00:14] tru3fate, i think vbox is the one you should use ;) it's all up to you. [00:14] MarcusEby: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out.

How can I reinstall edgers or reset it? [00:15] m0rTaL: yes.. try shift + numlock to put it in that mode [00:15] gotta run, l8r everyone. best of luck. [00:15] kens1962: what r u looking for? [00:15] kens1962: if you want to install apps via terminal you can use apt-get [00:15] thx [00:15] is google really evil now? [00:15] i want to download music [00:16] kens1962: try googling bit torrent and maybe sniff around www.thepiratebay.org - of course were talking legal content here... but this is getting a little off topic [00:16] wat can i find through terminal [00:16] lol mkquist . [00:16] goddard: google was never evil. [00:16] Don't joke yourself. [00:16] It is illegal content. [00:16] kens1962: then find torrents for music and open it with the terminal, you can download the .torrent via terminal with wget if you wis [00:16] <3 [00:16] thune3, well i ran debootstrap again and got success again, however the 'schroot -l' still isnt working. [00:16] *wish [00:16] goddard, why would you say that ? is google evil ? === ahmed is now known as Guest36222 [00:16] Does anyone know how to remove, reset and reinstall ppa-edgers? [00:16] MarcusEby do you know what their doing now? [00:16] kevr: not all torrents are illegal [00:16] goddard: stealing children? [00:16] ZykoticK9, Vbox is same as virtualbox right? [00:17] tru3fate: yep [00:17] ActionParsnip: obviously [00:17] ActionParsnip: but all the mp3 rips of real artists, are [00:17] hiexp do a search there is more than I could ever tell you [00:17] thune3, thats what i get: http://pastebin.com/EixHK3kc [00:17] hiexp but do it on yahoo or bing :D [00:17] MarcusEby: do you mean xorg edgers? [00:17] kevr: well, I'm just sayin, he should stick to the 'legal' stuff, thats all =P [00:17] ;] [00:17] ActionParsnip: Yes. [00:17] * kevr teh FBI is watching [00:17] kevr: no, they can happily give away their own material, myspace allows fully legal mp3 downloads [00:18] MarcusEby: then its not 'ppa-edgers' [00:18] hi.. i have a problem with a flexlm tool on ubuntu :( [00:18] hi,is it possible to run windows remote desktop thru ubuntu?, as to previous q, i know know of a package rdesktop, my host will be cygwin and i can use putty to connect to it, does putty allow me to connect to remote desktop or do i need to config rdesktop,what will work? thanks in advance [00:18] ActionParsnip: thats because myspace got licenses to do so, but torrents don't - find me one legal torrent music rip [00:18] Have fun trying for a year [00:18] ActionParsnip: hey but at least you knew what I was talking about, that makes one of us. [00:18] kevr: still a legal mp3 by "real" bands [00:18] lol [00:18] boywonder, you will need to either setup VNC or Terminal Services on that windows machine [00:18] boywonder: you want to use ubuntu to connect to windows and see the windows desktop right? [00:18] yes [00:18] can somebody help me with a ubuntu problem? :( [00:19] ActionParsnip: so would you happen to know the answer please? [00:19] Keep sugarcoating it for yourself why don't ya [00:19] MarcusEby: sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers will remove the ppa [00:19] * sliding 'further' off topic maybe? [00:19] is there a way to re-install ubuntu server via ssh? [00:19] It's pirating [00:19] End of story. [00:19] Jordan_U: Can I ask another question regarding my problem? [00:19] boywonder: there is a built in app for that, that will do RDP or VNC .. check in Accessories>Internet [00:19] ActionParsnip: then to reinstall it? [00:19] kevr: look at mininova.org - nothing but legal mp3s these days [00:19] guys, after a lot of work I got my sound card to work for myself, but now everytime it starts, i need to load the sound module to make it work [00:19] the only one who is owner is buyer [00:19] kevr: if the artists give the songs away for free its fine, not all big bands charge [00:19] how can I tell ubuntu to auto load the module? [00:19] MarcusEby: says on: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa [00:19] well_laid_lawn: mininova also sucks at search results these days [00:19] ;] [00:19] len_: add the modprobe to your startup items then === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [00:20] kevr: sites searching ability wasn't the point [00:20] Scunizi, i dont have accesories>internet?? [00:20] the point is the only reason they have nothing but legal is because they got into a lawsuit [00:20] blakkheim, you mean on /etc/bash.bashrc? [00:20] and got fined SHITloads of money [00:20] buddy [00:20] kevr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:20] boywonder: just a sec.. loading gnome in a vm right now. [00:20] len_: no. what window manager/desktop environment do you use? [00:20] the reason you cant find shit there anymore, is because they dont post shit thats not legal [00:20] ActionParsnip: do you think thats why I lost all of my graphics settings? Was because Maverick didn't work with all of the xorg-edgers stuff after the upgrade? Or did I miss a step, not purging before I did the upgrade? [00:20] thats why you go to another torrent site [00:21] !ot > kevr [00:21] kevr, please see my private message [00:21] blakkheim, gnome [00:21] !language | kevr [00:21] kevr: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:21] blakkheim: don't send me PM's [00:21] i don't agree but illegal is illegal [00:21] well_laid_lawn: enforce it [00:21] diverted: checking some stuff... [00:21] len_: you should have a list of startup items under system>administration [00:21] boywonder: sorry.. Applications>Internet>Remote Desktop Viewer or Terminal Server Client .. one does RDP protocol the other VNC [00:21] kevr: i didn't [00:21] kevr: bitter much ? [00:21] thune3, thanks [00:21] Bunch of joke kids here. [00:21] ;][ [00:21] BRB [00:21] kevr: http://bt.etree.org/ completely free bootleg recordings of unknown artists, completely free [00:22] kevr: just because you don't know about it doesn;t mean it doesn't exist [00:22] blakkheim, what's the name of the program i should look for? [00:22] Scunizi, can i use ssh? [00:22] kevr: try being less ignorant, you'll get further in life [00:22] len_: you want the modprobe command to load the module for the card, "sudo modprobe nameofmodule" for example [00:23] how can i tell if an untrusted certificate is truely from my server? [00:23] MrUnagi: for ssh? [00:23] ssl [00:24] ActionParsnip: Thanks a ton. But before I do the purge, I just wanted to get your opinion. Before the upgrade I used xorg-edgers with the latest kernel builds, I did the upgrade without a purge, and now nothing I put in my xorg.conf seems to do anything. In your opinion what is the problem? [00:24] blakkheim, I think you can add the module to the bottom of /etc/modules and it will start on boot [00:24] boywonder: ssh from ubuntu to windows and display the windows desktop.. well there are threads on how to use ssh and vnc together to accomplish that.. I"ve never done it though. [00:24] blakkheim, yes I want to do that. I was thinking in put it on /etc/bash.bashrc [00:24] mattgyver: that works just fine too [00:25] len_: then it would load it whenever you opened a shell [00:25] MarcusEby: the edgers packages are hugely experimental, i'd point to that first [00:25] Scunizi, ok thanks alot [00:25] then it starts for every user too [00:25] ActionParsnip: Do you think the purge will fix it? [00:25] /nick culseg [00:25] boywonder: sure.. by the way you can use putty to connect to ubuntu and display the gnome desktop :) [00:25] MarcusEby: its a good step, getting back to stable xorg version [00:25] yes just the host is windowz [00:26] ActionParsnip: Thanks I just needed mental backup on that. Thanks again. === _jesse_ is now known as _jesse__ [00:26] hum [00:27] blakkheim, oh crap sorry that should have been directed to len_ :) [00:27] Is google evil? http://ultraparanoid.wordpress.com/2007/06/19/why-google-is-evil™/ [00:27] hello all [00:27] / [00:27] When I click on "Network" on the menu, then double click on the name of the server I want to connect to, how do I get it to ask for user name and password? [00:27] sorry, was in the shower [00:27] I am not asked for a username and password [00:28] Kendalja, perhaps you added it to the keyring on mistake? [00:28] Kendalja: what service are you connecting to? [00:28] can vurtualbox access usb? e.g usb thumb drive? with guestadditions [00:28] another reason you might think google being evil http://www.google-watch.org/bigbro.html [00:28] cjae_, yes [00:28] how to set up a working chroot system so i can run 32bit programs on 64bit ubuntu? [00:28] virtual* [00:28] cjae_: the closed source one can [00:28] cjae_: the proprietary version can, but not the open source [00:28] ActionParsnip: sorry, i just find it funny when people act like they only download legal torrents. It's called pirating, one way or another, you have illegal files after doing more than a few times -- furthermore, im a proud company-ripoff - Thanks for your goods, I'm not paying $450.00 for a M$ application/os. Ever. [00:28] I am connecting via SMB in mac OSX 10.5 [00:28] shoot [00:28] !ot | goddard [00:28] Stop acting like a goodie two shoes, no one is going to lawsuit you. [00:28] goddard: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:29] diverted: you dont need a chroot, you can install ia32-libs and do it [00:29] how do I access the keyring? [00:29] blakkheim, so whats the name of the program I should look under system/administration? [00:29] len_: startup items, login items, something along those lines (i don't use gnome) [00:29] ActionParsnip, do i need to recompile the program after installing the ia32-libs? [00:29] Get the hell of nubuntu and spread further in knowledge, buddy [00:29] off* [00:29] kevr: if the artists and production are giving the files away for free, its not pirating. [00:29] lol [00:29] You aren't getting my point [00:29] !lol [00:29] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [00:30] im saying there's only a minority of torrents that are legal [00:30] the majority, are not [00:30] ActionParsnip, because i compiled and installed the program successfully using my 64bit ubuntu without having ia32-libs but the program didnt work. afterwards i installed ia32-libs but it still doesnt work [00:30] diverted: no, you will just need to force install the packages, as well as manually satisfy deps for libs by extracting the 32bit deb files and put the .so in /usr/lib32 [00:30] ubottu you speak for everyone in this channel? [00:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:30] diverted: a chroot may actually be cleaner [00:30] !chroot | diverted [00:30] diverted: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [00:31] kevr: oh absolutely but legal ones do completely exist (like the ubuntu iso for one ;)) [00:31] yeah, sorry, i wasnt saying they dont [00:31] :P [00:31] diverted: according to manpage of chroot.conf, there is a key directory=directory [00:31] confusion $_$ [00:32] diverted: where it says "This option was previously named location, but was renamed..." [00:32] diverted: "The name location is deprecated, but still valid;" [00:32] chroot is good stuff but it is easier to just have a second computer or virtual machine [00:33] true, its all good, lets help some folks now :) [00:33] goddard: not true in all cases... it's very useful for people who need to run in full cross arch environments [00:33] thune3, so.. where am i supposed to change anything now? [00:34] kevr i dont even know what you mean by that so ill just go along with it "D [00:34] thune3, if i use whereis chroot.conf i only find it inside some .gz files [00:35] diverted: it is referring to the format of the lucid_i386_conf file. If you change the key "location" (line 2) to "directory", the warning message will diappear. [00:35] goddard: just read the last line that ubottu said [00:35] 'or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment' [00:35] :P [00:36] ? [00:36] though these days with true multilib, i suppose 32-bit chroots arent as necessary anymore for that [00:36] diverted: but it seems it is just a warning message, and isn't the source of any problems. location is "still valid" [00:36] frank__, yeah sent you over my suggestion. dunno if it will help you or not [00:36] thune3, yes i changed the line but i get the same message [00:37] thune3, christoph@F:/etc/schroot/chroot.d$ schroot -d [00:37] E: required parameter is missing in 'directory' [00:37] I: Run “schroot --help” to list usage example and all available options [00:37] thune3, thats when i try with -d param [00:37] thune3, nvm my last msg..

[00:47] why is that? link: h20n2-ld-c-a31.ias.bredband.telia.com [00:47] m_fulder: 777 on www folder is asking for problems [00:47] i just want a program i can burn cd's with [00:47] just tell me sudo apt-get install blah blah blah [00:47] kens1962: any in the list ubottu gave willwork [00:47] kens1962, there's tons, one of which is even installed by default [00:47] well not 777 then .. but 744 or something [00:47] where can i find it [00:47] kens1962: ubuntu comes with brasero by default [00:47] how do i find [00:48] BK_MAN: the line mentioned on the error messages [00:48] kens1962: its under sound / video [00:48] applications? [00:48] kens1962: the package names are also the SAME as the things ubottu said, so you can use those in the apt-get command [00:48] kens1962: yes [00:48] tensorpudding: when i unzipped the file, the directory contains a makefile, i ran it and [00:49] tensorpudding: it returned the following [00:49] tensorpudding: make -C osdep [00:49] make[1]: Entering directory `/home/brian/Downloads/WiFishFinder-v0.2/osdep' [00:49] Building for Linux [00:49] make[2]: Entering directory `/home/brian/Downloads/WiFishFinder-v0.2/osdep' [00:49] make[2]: `.os.Linux' is up to date.

[00:50] kens1962: http://linux.dsplabs.com.au/files/p79-ubuntu/ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-beta-screenshots-menu-brasero-disc-burning-small.png [00:50] is Arch the best linux OS? [00:50] kens1962: Its in your applications menu under sound and video [00:50] sudo apt-get install bressaro i think === douglas is now known as speedrunnerG55 [00:50] !best | goddard [00:50] !best | goddard [00:50] goddard: 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. [00:50] join /ubuntu-es [00:50] goddard: there is no best ANYTHING in life [00:50] I hope I am in the right channel to ask this question. I've been playing around with a unix utility called 'at' and I am trying to use if for a simple queuing system for a python web app that I have. The problem is that when using python's subprocess lib through apache, the www-data user does not have permission to execute the request. Is there a secure way to give www-data permissions to use 'at' for the apache user? [00:50] brasero [00:50] i dont see sound or video in applications [00:50] CondorDelta: try /join #ubuntu-es [00:51] ActionParsnip i just figured some one to give an opinion isn't it fun to take ownership? [00:51] kens1962, correct title is "Sound and video" [00:51] macmichael01: use: sudo at then configure the schedule [00:51] ups sorry [00:51] kens1962 then just type Alt F2 then run brasero [00:51] thanks well_laid_lawn [00:51] np :] [00:51] !es [00:51] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[00:51] tensorpudding: wifishfinder.c:3191: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [00:52] kens1962 if it works, right click your menu [00:52] BK_MAN: what is on that line, in the file [00:52] hmm [00:52] goddard: doesnt make it the best though, just another opinion, try a few distros and see which you like. They all have different goals [00:52] kens1962 and make brasero active in your application list [00:52] BK_MAN: that is, open the file in a text editor, and read what that line says [00:53] bummer [00:53] How do I install postfix without the prompt? [00:53] No dialogs. Just install. [00:53] ActionParsnip: I can't use sudo b/c its a web app so it would ask me for password every time right? [00:53] tensorpudding: i will check it [00:53] BK_MAN: actually, this is too off-topic for this channel, you would be better served asking in ##c since they actually deal with C programs [00:53] Can't find a place where I can specify the postfix configuartion without runing thorugh the dialogs. [00:53] ActionParsnip why do you like Ubuntu? [00:53] macmichael01: only to set it up, if you use sudo at, the command will run as root and not need password [00:53] ActionParsnip your in here all the time === Claudio is now known as Guest65504 [00:54] tensorpudding: printf( usage ); [00:54] does python come standard with ubuntu 10.04?? [00:54] hmm [00:54] BK_MAN: okay, where did you get this software from? [00:54] adzy: yes [00:55] how do i launch it ? [00:55] goddard: i work 12 hour shifts and I want an easy life when I et in.Ubuntu is very bloated compared to most other distros but it does what it says on the tin and all my hardware works.I also use puppy and xpud, my fileserver used to run gentoo but it died and I cant be bothered to run through the install again [00:55] adzy, type python [00:55] BK_MAN: edit the file by putting // in front of the printf, and do the same for the other line mentioned in the error message [00:55] goddard: I use it because, its awesome for me. I've got it on all my machines [00:56] tensorpudding: the file is from http://www.airtightnetworks.com/home/resources/knowledge-center/wifish-finder.html [00:56] goddard, why you like it also here in ubuntu ? [00:56] tensorpudding: i will edit the file [00:56] goddard: xpud is stupendously light but ha few drivers by default and only about 5 apps but it boots damn fast (less than 3 seconds here). Puppy again is light and quick [00:56] would dd if=~/Downloads/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdh make a bootable usb stick? [00:56] thanks [00:56] cjae_: no [00:56] does it come with GUI or just pure txt driven [00:57] blakkheim: how do I make it bootable? [00:57] cjae_, No because it would not install a bootloader. [00:57] BK_MAN: it doesn't seem very likely at all that this code is provided any support [00:57] cjae_: try unetbootin [00:57] ActionParsnip: right but again this is a webapp that I pipe out to the commandline from python and I would never want to be hassled with a password just to set a schedule. Here is a snippet of what I am doing: http://dpaste.com/248135/ [00:58] !who | adzy [00:58] adzy: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:58] tensorpudding: i think you are right, but it seems like a slick app [00:58] adzy, seriously? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=python&l=1 [00:58] sorry im newb, i never heard of it before [00:58] :D [00:58] yikes [00:58] blakkheim: I just want to be able to install FROM the usb stick not run an OS on it [00:58] cjae_: you need usb-creator for that, if you use the netbook img it will work [00:58] BK_MAN: after you commented out those printf lines, try running make again [00:58] google open dns has one error on its "how to setup" page. The dns's need to be sparated with a COMMA not SPACE as it says [00:59] can anyone tell me why my cursor skips when i type (and its not my mouse) [00:59] booi: thanks ill read up on that :D [00:59] if you unplug your mouse does it still skip corey ? [00:59] corey: try the boot options: i8024.reset i8024.nomux=1 irqpoll in various combinations [00:59] corey: PC or Laptop? [00:59] yeah [00:59] laptop [00:59] ActionParsnip: why is the netbook image different? [00:59] nevermind my suggestion [00:59] tensorpudding: tried it new error c:3202: error: label at end of compound statement [00:59] cjae_: different data structure afaik [01:00] actionparsnip i dont understand? [01:00] BK_MAN: there is no guarantee that this code compiles at all, you might have to rewrite a lot of it, and since you don't know C that might be tough [01:00] corey: Its an option on the mouse settings, you'll have to uncheck it. [01:00] tensorpudding: true story [01:01] corey: try those 3 boot options on the system. They are great at helping laptops with weird touchpads and keyboard [01:01] hi all [01:01] ok thanks ill look into it right now [01:01] dogmatic69: hi. [01:01] could someone help me out with a permission error? [01:01] BK_MAN: if they were bad enough to leave broken printf statements in there, it's probable that they've not recently tested to see if it actually builds before posting the source [01:01] im trying to burn a disc and it wants to rename the files for "full windows compatability" to 64 characters. will not doing this really affect the disc in any way if i play it on windows? [01:01] plz [01:01] apache cant read my .htaccess [01:01] dogmatic69, what are the permissions on the .htaccess file? [01:02] tensorpudding: so its not a version thing, like will not run on 10.04 [01:02] How do I change the "network" name the computer belongs to.. ?? for instance I have several computers all using "Workgroup" as the network name.. [01:02] ActionParsnip: Is there something that I could at to the sudoers file that would allow www-data the ability to set the 'at' queue without ever asking for a password but not become some sort of security risk. [01:02] sorry guys im really confused i just checked my mouse settings and i dont see anything about boot options for the mouse or i8024.reset [01:02] Scunizi, you still about? [01:02] boywonder: yep [01:02] stbain: -rwxr-xrwx [01:03] and i own it [01:03] How do I change the "Volume Lable" of my external media? I have tried & it says "Operation Isn't Supported By Backend" . . . any ideas? [01:03] BK_MAN: It most probably isn't an Ubuntu issue, it might be old software that depends on features from old versions of GCC, or just really badly coded [01:03] tensorpudding: OK thanks for all the help! [01:03] dogmatic69, might just be that apache is not configured to AllowOverride [01:03] Scunizi, ive been looking into putty to use with cygwin(if you heard of that?) now the x in putty is confusing me,can you help out ? [01:03] macmichael01: i guess, i've not played with sudoers though [01:04] stbain: yes.. that is it i think [01:04] had this before and could not remember the issue, but you reminded me [01:04] boywonder, I've heard of that. [01:04] !label | misteralexander [01:04] misteralexander: To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive.

[01:04] ok thank you [01:04] stbain: #httpd :P [01:04] jrib: I'll check that out, thanks! [01:04] when I click on "network" my computer is there but how do I get it to ask for username and password?

[01:06] flare i might add im using kubuntu 10.04 [01:06] boywonder, you may want to look into the server version then [01:06] i should have said that fromt he begining sorry [01:07] well they do a cygwin-x,but if im not needing to connect win~ubuntu then it may work?

[01:50] or output [01:50] I love Linux for my sound, Linux audio driver is the only one able to use my laptops subwoofer. :D [01:50] @SilverStrand what graphics card u got [01:50] I have shares on my osx computer [01:51] Ubuntu sees them but when I click on em i get no user name or password [01:51] pudgypaw: intel 940 [01:51] So I cannot uninstall or install anything due to mediatomb... I get an error about it being a subprocess or some garbage, even though I'm trying to install things like skype, etc. Any ideas? [01:51] how do I setup ubuntu to ask for username and pass? [01:51] integrated right? [01:51] or 910 [01:51] not sure [01:51] but yes [01:51] integrated [01:51] SilverStrand: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:51] !enter | SilverStrand [01:51] SilverStrand: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:51] sorry* [01:51] I got ATI and it gave me drivers for that before allowing me to switch effects up [01:52] Kendalja: Check out the User Settings menu [01:52] pudgypaw: everything works smooth here but... [01:52] if u go System>Admin>hardware, it can scan for hardware and new drivers [01:52] somethings wrong with reboot i guess [01:52] Kendalja: make sure that your user has password asked at login [01:52] possible [01:52] even with me it takes 2 reboots and setting it to make changes survive reboot [01:52] Anyone here know how I can adjust how sensitive window adjusting is? I have a touchy touchpad and I can't seem to stay on that one pixel for long enough to start window resizing. [01:53] pudgypaw: each time i click "normal" it searches for available drivers for a while and then everything comes back [01:53] Kendalja: sorry, Users and Groups, under System -> Administration [01:53] dunno why it cant do that automatically with ever y boot [01:53] ah, then taht means it can't find any means to do 2D/3D acceleration [01:53] at least, not on startup [01:53] dunno why [01:54] i went to harware thing u showed... it searched, but there is nothing in the list :/ [01:54] but since that graphics card is integrated not dedicated, wouldn't expect too much [01:54] prolly means ubuntu hasn't placed ur particular gcard on file [01:54] prolly cuz it's integrated [01:54] pudgypaw: it actually runs quite smoothly with winflip and stuff..... but dunno why it cant get this in reboot :/ [01:54] lol [01:54] integrated sucks i know [01:55] someone else might be able to teach u to write some script [01:55] any way to do it ? [01:55] and plunk it somewhere [01:55] mmmm [01:55] i myself have no idea on writing one [01:55] who and where ? [01:55] dunno XD gotta ask someone else [01:55] i tried forums but nothings there on it. [01:55] maybe search "startup scripts" [01:55] some say u need drivers.... some say u need compizfusionicon [01:55] stuff doesnt work anyway [01:56] nah, a version of compiz is preinstalled [01:56] maybe try maverick [01:56] compiz wasnt there in mine [01:56] i had to install it seperately [01:56] interestign [01:57] ive done so many updates on ubuntu with my sucking net that im really not enthusiatic about reinstalling it [01:57] speed? [01:57] i do think that ive screwed up someting somewhere but... i hope not [01:57] pudgypaw: speed is good. [01:57] oh [01:57] no no [01:57] speed is ok sorta [01:57] SilverStrand: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:57] :P [01:57] will take around 2 hrs to do all updates so far [01:58] :/ [01:58] ic [01:58] i thought u were asking pc speed :P [01:58] silly me [01:59] This bot has a terrible concept of flooding. [01:59] im new to ubuntu, so dont know a ting about scripting [01:59] xase: yeah ! [01:59] SilverStrand, what are you trying to script? [02:00] :/ [02:00] xase: im trying to do anything that will allow me to do this : Appearance >> Visual Effects >> normal [02:00] with every reboot [02:00] ... [02:00] My ubuntu laptop just has a problem now. I installed it with the encrypted option for the alternative disc. My laptop has worked fine for the last several months. Now when I boot, after I put in my cryptfs password, I get 'No init found. Try passing init= bootarg., I get an (initramfs) boot terminal. How can I fix this? [02:00] Just uninstall compiz? [02:00] by default, it doesnt [02:00] xase: NO ! [02:00] ... [02:00] Why? [02:00] i need the effects [02:00] ... [02:00] :D [02:00] but you want them disabled? [02:00] lol [02:00] xase: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:00] thats the fun of it [02:01] no i dont wanna disable them [02:01] look [02:01] SilverStrand: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:01] Show. [02:01] for effects i want, themes + windowglow + win flip [02:01] nothing else [02:01] windowglow? [02:01] Then set it up using CCSM [02:01] pudgypaw: yeah... the blue glow that u get... from window borders [02:02] blue? [02:02] Mines green ;) [02:02] k wotever :P [02:02] hello I am wondering why Disk Swap is being used when over 50% of my RAM is being used for cache. [02:02] u can configure it [02:02] Yes. [02:02] With Compiz Config Settings Manager [02:02] !ccsm [02:02] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [02:02] I have an XP virtual machine running on Virtualbox in my ubuntu host. I am having a problem where they can't connect to each other no ping or anything. they were working when I first set them up however. Any ideas of what might be stopping them from connecting to one another? [02:02] xase : its in window decorations [02:02] ... are you talking KDE or GNOME? [02:03] gnome [02:03] im on ubuntu [02:03] Then what do your visual effects have to do with window decorations? [02:03] xase: when i reboot, it doesnt show my title bar... [02:03] Decorations are just looks, every piece of eyecandy otherwise is compiz. [02:03] Oh. [02:03] You're using Emerald? [02:03] @tcliam_, I think under internet settings u can switch to bridged [02:03] so when i go to appearance and visual effect and do it normal, it all comes back [02:03] when the VM isn't running [02:03] xase: i tried sudo aptget remove emerald [02:04] Compiz seems setup to do something weird. [02:04] it said i dont have it [02:04] Yes. [02:04] Howdy [02:04] emerald thing was on some forum but it doesnt work for me i guess [02:04] But compiz might still be trying to use it, if the use window decorations is enabled in your config. [02:04] >.> [02:04] Did you try emerald --replace ? [02:04] wot ? [02:04] Or running it as a start up script? [02:04] I'm trying to get HDMI Out working on 10.04 x64 . . . does it not work out of the box? [02:04] xase: pls explain some more, i dont know this stuff [02:05] im new to ubuntu [02:05] Or using compiz-fusion icon to manage even more settings like turning compiz off and on the fly. [02:05] !ccsm [02:05] how do i do that ? [02:05] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [02:05] or you could use simple-ccsm [02:06] I prefer the full blown. [02:06] its already there it says [02:06] newest [02:06] Press alt+f2 [02:06] how may I finish my session with command line? [02:06] and type in compizconfig-settings manager [02:06] Andre_Gondim, 'exit' ? [02:06] misteralexander, good luck on HDMI out. [02:06] @misteralexander - make sure your drivers are installed first [02:07] xase, this only finish my terminal, I said my gnome, for example [02:07] xase: couldnt open [02:07] and goes to gdm [02:07] is there a way of allowing a user to execute a command that only admin users can, but without giving that user admin privileges? [02:07] mine worked out of the box but then again, my gcard only output DVI and i use a converter [02:07] SilverStrand, try installing simple ccsm [02:07] and how do i do that ? [02:07] theDrPoO, sudo [02:07] SilverStrand, sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm [02:08] or use synaptic if you don't like the terminal. [02:08] xase, but i dont want to give the user sudo privileges [02:08] ok thanks :) [02:08] Well theDrPoO you can make a new group and add the user to it. [02:08] and set it to be able to do the task you want it. [02:08] done [02:08] But that's out of my scope. [02:08] SilverStrand, look in the appearance under visual effects [02:09] there should be a button now to configure compiz [02:09] whoa [02:09] i got a custom button [02:09] xase, but can i give the group permissions to execute a command?

[02:28] <|Sacred|> from wherever you downloaded them to [02:28] no !

[02:32] maybe is the server [02:32] <|Sacred|> have you tried doing a speedtest? [02:32] Xlive: that depends on a lot of things, from the speed of the server your downloading from, to how many other things your downloading, and even how many people are using your ISP at that time [02:32] no [02:32] <|Sacred|> at least do a speedtest [02:32] umm well hold on a sec .. lets do a speed test 1st [02:32] <|Sacred|> might just be remote servers over-loaded [02:33] Im download vlc player and I can even go to the google :( [02:33] When I updated from Karmic to Lucid, my GDM theme stayed the same. How can I change it, now that the old GDM theme settings options are gone? === Jason is now known as Guest22429 [02:35] ok I took a speed test [02:35] http://www.speedtest.net/result/965195184.png [02:35] well speed is normal like this [02:35] but when I download somthing .. it gets damn slow :( [02:35] cant even goto the google [02:36] I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 as well as mediatomb from the software center. Now mediatomb is giving me massive issues. I cannot uninstall or install ANYTHING. It gives me an error about dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: and mentions mediatomb. Any ideas?

[02:38] when it goes like .. if u put a youtube video on buffer and gofor net surf you wont be able to do it :/ [02:38] oh wow 0.43Mb/s down 0.10Mb/s up no wonder its lagging [02:38] i dont know about you .. but I cant =/ [02:38] 3 hours to update the repositories [02:38] ubuntu 9.10 [02:38] hopefully a quick question, using the gnome-terminal's rename command with regexp, is there a way to string them ogether somehow rather than run the rename several times ina row? [02:38] when i had the modem [02:39] miststlkr: you want to rename se4veral files? or what exactly? [02:39] huawei e 156b [02:39] <|Sacred|> jesus, 0.43...thats horrible [02:39] yea I know [02:39] it reached the lowest speed!! [02:39] <|Sacred|> is that what you're paying for? [02:39] <[thor]> miststlkr: using the && maybe? [02:39] but thats only package we get for home's [02:39] javatexan: the "menu" files are in .config/menus/applications-merged/ , if you still have the .desktop files in .local/share/applications/wine/Programs/ you might be able to use them to put in the menu [02:39] 0123 B/s [02:39] <[thor]> miststlkr: firstcommand && secondcommand && thirdcommand [02:39] <|Sacred|> oh thats ok, I just wondered if you were paying for 10mbit and getting that, is all [02:39] [thor]: thanks [02:39] guys !! can i delete stuff safely from /var/cache/ ? [02:39] miststlkr: use a for loop, ie. for i in $(find -name "name of file") ; do "your regexp command" [02:40] umm we pay like 15$ [02:40] for that [02:40] dont know [02:40] its not much .. still [02:40] SilverStrand: Some things can be delete4d safely.. somt things can cause issues if deleted [02:40] i must try that [02:40] Dr_Willis: even in cache ? [02:40] o_O [02:40] Hey, I seem to have an issue with Compiz, afer a while (2 hours uptime this time) it just starts to perform really badly (At 1fps the whole time) whereas normally it's fine. There's no extra swap/RAM/CPU usage, it's just slower. If I replace it with another WM after it becomes slow, it's back to normal [02:40] i recommend you Kleansweep [02:40] its dangerous [02:40] Dr_Willis: multiple. I can get that no problem, but only figured out one change at a time. [02:40] SilverStrand: yes... you remove the wrong things in /var/cache/apt/ and you can have issues [02:40] you must be careful with that thing [02:41] damn..... thats just wot i was going to do [02:41] :P [02:41] samual: check your restricted video card drivers [02:41] its the most spacekeeping thing on my drive [02:41] SilverStrand: apt can get mad if you remove a directrory name from its /var/cache/apt dir.... [02:41] tyler_d, they're already installed though? [02:41] hey! [02:41] Compositing is enabled of course. [02:41] if wanna clean your pc [02:41] SilverStrand: theres parts of it you can clean out.. the apt cache may be the biggest thing.. theres comm,ands to clean that [02:41] you must download the ubuclenaer [02:42] Samual: try a different one and see if it helps at all. [02:42] Dr_Willis: there are 275 mb of deb files [02:42] can i delete tem ? [02:42] or you can try this [02:42] :'( [02:42] USE the proper commands... [02:42] I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 as well as mediatomb from the software center. Now mediatomb is giving me massive issues. I cannot uninstall or install ANYTHING. It gives me an error about dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: and mentions mediatomb. Any ideas? [02:42] cant i just "shift+delte" them ? [02:42] SilverStrand: exactly, use apt-get clean [02:42] sudo apt-get install clean [02:42] SilverStrand: sudo apt-get autoremove or clean [02:42] sudo apt-get install autoclean [02:42] sudo apt-get install autoremove [02:43] urm k [02:43] Daniel: err... try again. :) [02:43] no 'install' in those commands Daniel [02:43] it's install [02:43] tyler_d, that makes no sense.. it's the current version... The recommended one. [02:43] i did it [02:43] with install [02:43] sudo apt-get auto [02:43] sudo apt-get auto [02:43] autoclean autoremove [02:43] tyler_d, if it was the driver, iother people would have this issue. [02:43] Tab completion works with apt-get :) [02:44] i'm gonna try that [02:44] Samual: k sorry then. have to wait for another suggestion. [02:44] $ sudo apt-get install autoremove [02:44] [thor]: no luck there. I tried as follows: rename 's/./ /' * && rename 's/ avi/.avi/' * and tried leaving out the second "rename" and just putting in the two regexp with the &&'s between them, neither worked [02:44] E: Unable to locate package autoremove [02:44] oh! [02:44] it juist cleaned 55 mb :/ [02:44] not all [02:44] yeah i'm wrong [02:44] without install [02:45] SilverStrand: if you are worrying about 55mb.. it may be time to buy a biger HD, [02:45] SilverStrand: apt-get clean will purge all .deb files, as opposed to just those not needed [02:45] lol [02:45] i got 135 mb free on my hd can u imagine that ? [02:45] im on 65 gb hd [02:45] my /var/cache is 2.2 gb [02:45] sheesh [02:45] ive seen it much higher [02:46] I got 6gb of just wallpaper and themes and icons on here.

[02:48] slyboots, tried that too, the install -f. didnt help [02:48] i think ill have to reframe my drives..... freeu p some space [02:48] and then... reinstall ubuntu :/ [02:48] anyone with another suggestion perhaps? pass the results of a rename command into another [02:48] SilverStrand: sounds like windows thinking... [02:48] miststlkr: clarify exactly what you are doing and how/what/why [02:50] Dr_Willis: I did above. rather than run, for example, rename 'y/./ /' * [enter] rename 's/ avi/.avi/' * [enter] etc, pass them all in one line [02:50] hello all [02:51] someone can bring me a tutorial for wxGlade? [02:51] hi [02:51] im trying to install vnc4server and in the wiki it says that i have to configure /etc/vnc.conf but this file doesnt exist?

[02:58] ubuntu is NOT as easy as making toast. [02:59] Roasted: have you tried searching google for that error? [02:59] yeah [02:59] I get one response back. my thread on the ubuntuforums. lol. [02:59] I have a synaptic reload problem.. Can someone look at the pastebin and suggest a solution.. I am not really good at linux yet.. thanks http://pastebin.com/hYsDf45H [02:59] Roasted: there's a bug filed on it [03:00] tensorpudding, oh really? [03:00] it seems that the removal script wants to delete a user/group that doesn't exist [03:00] tensorpudding, I dont even want mediatomb. I just want my system working.... [03:00] tensorpudding, but why does it effect EVERYTHING? === Dink|W is now known as Dink [03:00] I cant install cheese. flash. audacious. vlc. I cant do anything because of it. [03:00] Everything I do yields that error. [03:00] dpkg is designed such that if it encounters an error, it doesn't let you make the error worse [03:00] so bad [03:01] thats all well and good, but I want my system *working*. Do you have any ideas?? [03:01] do you have internet access? [03:01] add the user and group that it claims aren't there [03:01] then run dpkg -P mediatomb-daemon [03:01] what user, and what group? [03:01] mediatomb and mediatomb [03:02] the funny thing is [03:02] mediatomb isnt installed [03:02] Daniell can you read my messsage? [03:02] it could have been that when the package was installed there was some kind of error that shouldn't happen [03:02] yet its preventing everything else from installing [03:02] what message? [03:02] that is, instead of failing atomically, it partly-installed [03:02] Roasted: are you sure mediatomb isn't installed? [03:03] tensorpudding, do you think it'd be wise of me to install it and maybe uninstall in hopes of it completing? [03:03] im just curious because i dont get any answer by anyone for about 3 hours ;) [03:03] tensorpudding, it was installed, it no longer is though [03:03] Roasted: it sounds like it was only partially removed [03:03] Hello. Can anyone help me? [03:03] ubuntu spanish? [03:03] Roasted: try dpkg -C [03:03] that audits the package database for mis-installed packages [03:03] just sudo dpkg -C?

[03:04] I have the user/group, but I did not run that command. my bad. [03:04] You mean what version of Ubuntu am I running? [03:04] slooksterpsv, i want to set up a vnc server.. for this i tried the tutorial in the ubuntu wiki, but it is not up to date because the file /etc/vnc.conf doesnt exist.

I just installed the drivers that I was given the link to. [03:18] redownload? why... just burn the image again [03:18] Taymon - perfect I think its opensound system [03:18] just in case its the file itself on my HDD that is corrupt [03:18] Hi [03:18] Xano: Try to do it on a Desktop as well. I've noticed that laptops tend not to write very reliably and the CDs they make tend to wear out. [03:19] Is it easy to install Ubuntu server over gentoo, my gento installation has teo drives "Drive 0 is the O.S." "drive 2 is the home Dir" [03:19] Taymon, yeah after you've installed that, restart and let me know if that worked for you [03:19] If your logged in to a machine multiple times, how do you kill every instance except the one your using? [03:19] tensorpudding, it does exist, but it has "nologin" in the entry. mediatomb: usr/sbin/nologin. Should I delete?

[03:20] MattTheComputerG - be sure to backup drive 2 or not delete it when reformatting, I'm not sure if you can install Ubuntu server over gentoo without it reformatting the partition, but drive 2 sounds like it's your home directory which is its own drive which you shouldn't delete/format that partition/drive [03:21] Xano: Yeah man, I was in the same situation awhile ago. Just put the notebook on a table and burn it slow :-) [03:21] good deal, thanks again for the help all [03:22] #wordpress [03:22] Slooksterpsv, i dont wan any part of the instalation no even the home Dir... [03:22] Is HDMI a "Direction Specific" technology? If I buy an HDMI splitter & it has 3 input and one output . . . can i just flip that around and make it 1 input and 3 output? and still switch? [03:23] what is a good firewall i can use easy to configure i'm running a webserver on local ip [03:23] can anyone think of a reason why a filesystem would -appear- to be mounted rw, but would actually be ro? Ubuntu 8.10. [03:23] MattTheComputerG - then backup what data you need to either cds,dvds,another drive, etc. as well as configuration files (e.g. apache2 virtual host files) and then reformat, you will have to setup the services and that again though on Ubuntu Server as it will need to reinstall the programs [03:23] hmm this makes no sense I followed the instructions to add an account to evolution to set it as Standard Unix mbox with /var/mail/ but it wont let me set the user as well no emails get recieved [03:23] I'm asking because I have a laptop that I'd like to plug up and switch between to separate TV's . . .

How can we manage this applications? thank you for your interests.

In order for ANYTHING to work, I need to have mediatomb (the user) added to my system to install stuff. Uh? How can I fix that? [03:38] Kill_windows, or you could try #ubuntu-es [03:39] #ubuntu es [03:39] #ubuntu [03:39] wtf [03:39] ¬¬ [03:39] Kill_windows, /join #ubuntu-es [03:39] !es [03:39] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [03:39] ok thank you ;D [03:39] anyone able to help me with a Kate editor FTP problem(cant change login/pw credentials for a site)? [03:39] pw-toxic - do you need multiple desktop instances running, cause the ssh with X, I like it better personally [03:40] pw-toxic ssh with X forwarding works for single user use [03:40] multipass: check in #kde .. there's help there.. sorry I can't be more specific right now. [03:41] Izinucs: ok cool, thanks [03:41] hello [03:41] hey guys, I have a hardware related question, does anyone know of a channel dedicated to that? thanks [03:41] jjcm: i dont know about your network settings but HTTP and SMTP port are blocked on regular internet connections [03:41] #hardware [03:41] I'm having a very strange problem with my new Ubuntu 10.04 install. I installed mediatomb, and began experiencing errors. I was unable to install/uninstall anything. After some help here in IRC, it's an error regarding mediatomb the user. In order for ANYTHING to work, I need to have mediatomb (the user) added to my system to install stuff. Uh? How can I fix that? [03:41] so, anyone. better way to reboot than telinit 6 or /sbin/reboot? [03:41] Neither is working on my server [03:41] #hardware is invite only [03:42] fuck it... i'll just use XP [03:42] teamz1, i don't think so but you may need to registry your nick on freenode [03:42] kbutler: sudo reboot now [03:42] ##hardware [03:42] holy language [03:42] kbutler: try the reset switch on front lol [03:42] Izinucs, that returns input/output error [03:42] Pentium3, amazon ec2 instance :/ [03:42] pw-toxic - well maybe ssh can do more than one user... I must try this =D [03:43] kbutler: ah.. thought it was a stand-a-lone server.. sorry [03:43] kbutler: sorry, try halting it and then turning it back on.. [03:43] redblacktree: what are you trying to do [03:43] redblacktree, just so you know, X11 server is called a server [03:43] http://pastebin.ca/1947967 ... my filesystem crapped out. So I loaded a livecd, but I am not able to do a filesystem check on /dev/mapper/home2, any ideas? [03:44] :D i was about to tell him x11vnc [03:45] how do i identify if my server is 32 bit or 64 bit within the terminal interface [03:45] MattTheComputerG: type uname -a [03:45] JoTed: run a live cd, run disk utility and give me SMART details [03:45] x86_64 = 64-bit x86 = 32-bit [03:45] can anyone tell me what is wrong with this fstab entry? for some reason it is trying to mount BEFORE the network is up: //192.168.1.75/GSCONTROL /home/username/phone cifs defaults,_netdev 0 0 [03:46] enav: this is a server [03:46] enav: mail works fine to all other domains [03:46] no ports are blocked [03:46] only issue is sending mail to the same domain as the server [03:46] sendmail isn't respecting the MX entries in the DNS [03:46] jjcm: your server ahve static IP? [03:47] Ello [03:47] enav I am in a livecd now, I ran smartctl -t long /dev/sda, smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda didn't show anything. [03:47] Anyone here that can help me with some networking and screen issues === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [03:47] I recently purchased an Inspiron 1764 [03:48] and it's having some issues [03:48] how do you have a 'sudo' command autmatically startup with your computer? [03:48] davefromcamp: what? [03:48] JoTed: open system-> disk utility > select your disk and give me a resume of the SMART data [03:48] Can someone help me pick a Linuxx to go with? [03:48] ie I need to run my mpd using sudo [03:48] <_Neytiri_> i am havieng trobble partitioning my drives manuall fir a desktop install [03:49] and I want it to start up without typing in my root password everytime [03:49] davefromcamp: oh [03:49] davefromcamp: that's the point of sudo [03:49] enav: yea [03:49] davefromcamp: there is something called init, which allows services to start at boot [03:49] enav is says the disk is healthy [03:49] Sorry, did anyone get my question? [03:49] davefromcamp: you need to configure mpd to start at boot [03:49] I'm new so not sure [03:49] Deluxx: what do you mena? [03:49] mean* [03:49] If a user is flagged as a Desktop user, does he cache any kind of information like thumbnails, videos, what have you outside of his home directory? [03:49] yes I do [03:49] Deluxx: Well, this is the Ubuntu channel, use Ubuntu [03:49] enav: Although that wouldn't affect it either way [03:49] <_Neytiri_> can someoen point me to a good tutorial showing me exactly what i need ? [03:50] enav: As the MX servers are hosted elsewhere [03:50] if I just run mpd it gives me a network error [03:50] Deluxx > For ease of us, and because you're in the ubuntu channel, I'd use UBUNTU! [03:50] does vino work on ubuntu-server 10.10 ? [03:50] so I've been running using sudo [03:50] davefromcamp: you should not let it run as root, though [03:50] supercom32, unlikely [03:50] I have 500mb of ram and Pentium 3GHz, that's good for it? [03:50] why is that? [03:50] davefromcamp: have you configured mpd to run as a different user? [03:51] supercom32, but maybe /tmp [03:51] !maverick | four2zero_ [03:51] four2zero_: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is NOT released and NOT Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [03:51] Deluxx: more ram [03:51] davefromcamp: applications that run as root are running using administrative capabilities, and are thus vulnerable to privilege escalation bugs [03:51] How much more? [03:51] !lubuntu [03:51] Deluxx: for ubuntu¿ better try lubuntu [03:51] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [03:51] Deluxx, what are you going to do with the machine? [03:51] davefromcamp: it's more secure to have them run as a specified user, like mpd, which I believe is the default behavior in fact [03:51] 1.5GB... probably cheaper to buy a 2GB kit and toss the extra 500mb in the garbage [03:52] four2zero - I would wait, I had to reformat today cause I had problems with 10.10 beta [03:52] alright [03:52] davefromcamp: have you edited /etc/mpd.conf? that is where the configuration is, and there is a section related to users [03:52] icarus: So if a user was manipulating images in gnome, watching videos using VLC/Mplayer, etc, there's no guarantee any of those actions would be private right? [03:52] Browse/youtube and things like java games here and there [03:52] Deluxx, GNOME desktop environment takes about 200MB at least, other system component takes <100MB, so you have about 200 for other application. (firefox takes up all that already) [03:52] Setting up lvm2 (2.02.54-1ubuntu4) ... update-initramfs is disabled since running on read-only media [03:53] yeah and the user is correct [03:53] jjcm let me see your server deliver mail locally but not to internet? this is correct? [03:53] How can I install lvm2 to repair a disc on the Ubuntu livecd? [03:53] supercom32, you should work on file permission so that the user could only access to his $HOME and /tmp [03:53] can anyone reccomend a good text editor for webstuff? tabbed windows/highlighting/dual views/etc ?? thanks [03:53] Just installed my nvidia drivers, So far it works perfectly besides the fact that when I full screen flash videos in a browser the video goes to my secondary monitor, I've selected a primary in drivers and that doesn't seem to help [03:53] So is there one that would go with the little amount of ram I have? [03:53] enav: no. [03:53] other big question is there a way to run a script at a certain time? [03:54] enav: So my server is at jjcm.org [03:54] ie I want my mpd db file to 'auto update' [03:54] enav: I can send email to anywhere except jjcm.org [03:54] I have another computer with 4 gigs, just wanted to put linux on this one to hopefylly make it faster (from what I read) [03:54] davefromcamp: the script which starts mpd is probably in /etc/init.d/mpd [03:54] enav: instead, it routs it locally [03:54] enav: which is incorrect, because the mx servers are elsewhere [03:54] Deluxx, you should look at some lightweight desktop environment like xfce, lxde, enlightenment...etc or Window Manager based setup [03:54] <_Neytiri_> !partitioning [03:54] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [03:54] I tried that and it works thanks [03:54] Deluxx crunchbang may work better [03:54] davefromcamp: system v init scripts are started depending on the runlevel, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto [03:55] Deluxx > there are ton of variations of linux that will run on limited machines, You could try some with xfce for less graphical use, but I've used puppylinux on slower machines, it works.. but it's not Ubuntu [03:55] I think I might have messed up my fstab, and now my box doesn't boot. I also think the cd drive is messed up on it, because it won't boot a cd. How can I edit my fstab? [03:55] when i enter "uname -a" it gives some basic system specs and its sys my processoe is i886 pent3 so is it a 64 or 32bit [03:55] thanks [03:55] Yeah, puppylinux is the one I read some about [03:56] Deluxx, yes it would certainly be fast with Linux, but the problem is that 500MB is a little low for modern applications. like firefox browsing google, facebook, twitter could easily use 300MB ram [03:56] I think it said like 60mb of ram so I wasn't sure if I was going "too low" [03:56] howie30: why not simple debian? can't you pick and choose the packages such that the size and requirements of the system are at your descretion? [03:56] MattTheComputerG - 32-bit, it would say x86_64 or that if it were 64-bit [03:56] Deluxx, using lightweight Desktop environment like xfce, lxde instead of GNOME should save ~100MB of ram [03:56] Daddysmurf> completely true, just giving alternative options [03:56] jjcm: check your smtp client setting and your firewall [03:57] brb all gotta reboot [03:58] enav: there's no firewall, and the smtp is fine, it's sending mail as expected except for on localhost [03:58] ok thx no i can install Heavan(Ubuntu) and get rid or Hell(Gentoo) [03:58] can initrd in a normal 10.4 install read the cdrom drive? [03:58] I've been having a hard time setting twinview for my vid drivers, Can't properly force a primary monitor, has anyone had this problem? [03:58] So xfce would be recommended for a 500mb ram? I'd plan on upgrading to 2 gigs sometime but wanted to see what would work for now [03:59] jjcm: well sounds like a misconfiguration, find some exaple configuration file on internet and compare it with yours [03:59] It's the default config [03:59] It's a fresh install [03:59] Deluxx, I'd just use Ubuntu. If you h ave any problems go to xfce. [03:59] From what it looks like, this is the default action [04:00] No need to change from xfce to Gnome. [04:00] Others are having this issue as well (then again, it might not be considered an issue because what I'm trying to do is abnormal behavior) [04:00] anyway for more accurate help try /join #ubuntu-server [04:00] Gnome is lighter wieght than xfce [04:00] All I'm wondering is how I can configure sendmail to respect mx settings [04:00] Deluxx: for 500mb icewm is better than xfce perhaps even lxde [04:00] enav: Already in there, waiting on answer [04:01] yep they are slow or busy [04:01] jjcm first off don't use sendmail [04:01] Deluxx: if you can put swap on a different hard drive from / and /home, you could squeak by on gnome if you don't run too many apps simultaneously. (gnome isn't as heavy as it used to be) [04:02] Deluxx dont use xfce it sucks on ubuntu [04:02] I'm thinking about lxde since I also read about it earlier and seemed like the right choice [04:03] Deluxx: lxde is hardly any different from xfce... someways better [04:03] Deluxx install the lubuntu package, works great if you don't have dual monitors. [04:03] it wrox xfce [04:03] can initrd in a normal 10.4 install read the cdrom drive? [04:04] ok almost back, kvm disables 64-bit for virtualbox - ok bb in 5 min. [04:07] Is it me, or in Lucid is it not possible to unlock the "Login screen settings"? [04:07] supercom32: you can unlock it with your root password === SoulShadow is now known as Shadows`away [04:08] jiohdi: I click unlock, but nothing comes up. Not even a password prompt. [04:08] supercom32: that dont sound good [04:08] Perhaps a reboot is in order. [04:09] what version of linux is? [04:09] what distribution [04:11] ok anyone I was talking to, I'm back [04:12] If I break a cd with a small but sensitive file on it, in half, how easy it [04:12] If I break a cd with a small but sensitive file on it, in half what are the chances someone could recover the file? [04:13] is it theoretically possible to have a linux machine output a usb3 virtual drive that acts like a real one? [04:13] etherealite: Depends how dedicated they are. [04:13] usually cd shatter [04:13] virtual in that it's a raid seen as one drive [04:13] etherealite: Throw it in the microwave for ten seconds. [04:14] KB1JWQ ha, now theres an awesome lo-tech idea. [04:14] etherealite it shouldn't hurt the microwave, but don't leave in there too long lol [04:15] does anyone know if mpd auto updates its db or do I have to restart the server if I add music files? [04:15] slooksterpsv can initrd in a normal 10.4 install read the cdrom drive? [04:15] how do I remove the docky anchor button? [04:16] Is there a difference between this cron */30 * * * * curl... and this cron 30 * * * * * curl... [04:16] etherealite I would assume, but I don't know for sure [04:17] Hey everyone. I'm put together an XP/Ubuntu/Meego system and everything seems good, except that grub is not seeing meego. I ran grub-update and it sees an unknown linux distro, but it doesn't show up in the list on the next boot. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? [04:18] hey guys, I want to connect IR blaster from my hd-pvr to myth-tv running on Ubuntu 10.04. Do I need to compile a kernel? [04:18] Kevin1a I'll see if I can find an answer to your question, give me a few [04:19] OK, I'll be here. Thankyou. [04:19] Kevin1a it uses syslinux, grub won't be able to autodetect that [04:19] mrjn find the kernel mods you need, then modprobe, if its not there, then probably yes. [04:20] mrjn that is assuming that you've already install mythbuntu package. [04:20] is there guide to follow for installing lubuntu? (for a complete linux newb) [04:20] etherealite: mythubuntu.. no. I just installed myth-tv packages [04:21] Deluxx - try it on your own it's simple really, let me know if you have questions and I can help [04:21] OK, I know what syslinux is (I'm finally learning). So I'll have to add it manually, or am I going to have to chainload? [04:21] !luxbuntu [04:21] Hi, my computer is restarting every time it reaches grub. is there an easy way to fix this without reinstalling? [04:21] Hii In this image : http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1PykOXo2c5I/TBQFQIGZspI/AAAAAAAAAUg/MRO7Fkt04tM/s1600/4.jpg There is a bar at the end with usage, network etc... How do i install this on my computer? [04:21] Kevin1a, that I don't know if you can manually add it, that'd be great, I don't know how you can do syslinux on grub, trying to find that out now [04:21] etherealite, I do see this: dmesg | grep lirc [04:21] thanks everyone for the help! [04:21] [ 4119.437256] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61 [04:21] Well, I downloaded "lubuntu 10.04" but none of the files seem like they can run (I'm on windows xp btw) [04:21] mrjn check the mythbuntu meta package and see if it has your ir kernel mods, i think the module might be in there. [04:22] Deluxx - if memory serves correctly it doesn't have a WUBI option so all you can do is use isorecorder to burn the iso to a cd/dvd and boot from that [04:22] Deluxx: if you have ubuntu up and running you can aptitude install lxde and then just chose it at login [04:22] Deluxx: its not exactly lubuntu but it works just the same [04:23] I'm on windows xp. I downloaded it from the site ubuntu, but it's not? [04:23] lubuntu* [04:23] Deluxx: be careful about wubi installs... they tend to work until you update and then they can crash and take the windows with it [04:23] Kevin1a if it has btrfs grub doesn't support btrfs yet [04:23] How to open .class files on Java? [04:24] Deluxx get it form here https://lists.launchpad.net/lubuntu-desktop/msg01319.html [04:24] Yeah, I ran one of those some time early ago and gave me a "windos no disk" error [04:24] java [04:24] windows* [04:24] OK, so I guess I'm going to have to chainload it, or maybe I can get the meego bootloader to see ubuntu and XP [04:24] Esat - you would need to go into terminal and to it [04:24] Ok nice, a torrent download [04:25] slooksterpsv, let me do that [04:25] Kevin1a, try that see what happens [04:25] Hii In this image : http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1PykOXo2c5I/TBQFQIGZspI/AAAAAAAAAUg/MRO7Fkt04tM/s1600/4.jpg There is a bar at the end with usage, network etc... How do i install this on my computer? [04:25] how do I remove the docky anchor button? [04:25] Kevin1a let me know if it works with chainload [04:25] Wubi installs don't work easilly with Windows 7, as there's a hidden boot partition, so the wubi loader tries to get the files from the wrong drive [04:25] slooksterpsv, it works!! [04:25] pw-toxic, awesome! =D [04:26] slooksterpsv, can you tell me how i can automatically start the server? [04:26] mohan1111 do you mean at the bottom? that's conky [04:26] pw-toxic_ are you doing it via ssh or vnc4server? [04:26] slooksterpsv, i'm using ebox.. the problem was the firewall [04:26] slooksterpsv, tightvncserver [04:26] slooksterpsv, where need i start in terminal: for example /home? [04:26] slooksterpsv, the only thing im doing is tightvncserver -nolisten tcp :1 [04:26] Chr|s: gconftool-2 –type Boolean –set /apps/docky-2/Docky/Items/DockyItem/ShowDockyItem False [04:26] i need this command to be started every time ubuntu starts [04:26] Chr|s: run that command [04:27] pw-toxic_ we need to put it in the startup area, where is that at... [04:27] Esat, where is the class file located at? [04:27] mohan1111: ok thanks [04:27] Esat documents, downloads, music, etc. [04:27] slooksterpsv, its is enough if you show me a tutorial [04:27] The direct download gave me a rar file, I'm assuming I burn an iso image from in there to a cd? [04:27] slooksterpsv, or wiki.. whatever [04:27] slooksterpsv: thanks [04:27] Hello Everyone [04:27] theye are in downloaded folder [04:27] pw-toxic_ Add the command to the /etc/rc.local script before the exit 0 and it should run it as the last step in the boot process. [04:28] I had also downloaded "InfraRecorder", go with "write image" right? [04:28] Esat so in terminal type in cd ~/Downloads then type in: java ./filename.class [04:28] where filename is the file name [04:28] slooksterpsv, is this the normal procedure to do this? im trying to make a really clean server setup [04:29] slooksterpsv, let me try again [04:29] #neverendless [04:29] pw-toxic_ yes, that way if you need specific services or programs, even ones you made/make to load on startup, this is wher eyou'd add them [04:29] Deluxx - that should work [04:29] slooksterpsv, thanks [04:29] Deluxx yeah sorry lol yeah [04:29] Hmm.. can't find the iso file from the rar, am I missing something? [04:30] Deluxx did you extract the rar file with izarc or winrar? [04:30] Yea [04:30] slooksterpsv, i should have looked up the script before asking.. im sorry.. the script is quite empty so its looks quite "clean" ;)))) [04:31] Bah! [04:31] how do i set a script so that i can run it anywhere without the file being in the directory? [04:31] There's a "lubuntu" file but doesn't show up as an iso file [04:31] I'll be back later. I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing, so this might take me half the night. Thanks for the help [04:31] Kevin1a let us know we can help ya out ok =D [04:32] Deluxx - how large is the lubuntu file? [04:32] slooksterpsv, : the files in this folder: /home/yusuf/İndirilenler/electric_8.10-1_all.deb/data/usr/share/java/electric/com/sun/electric/ [04:32] Deluxx it should be around 533 mb [04:32] question, I am trying to start 2 instances of mysql-proxy, so I created 2 init scripts and have same named files under /etc/default, their own pids, even their own symlinks to the daemon binary, but I can only start one at a time, any idea why? [04:32] Is it possible to make Metacity don't decorate the windows? I would like to get rid of the upper bar. [04:32] I got my Google App Engine program ready to publish, but I can't create my account because they want to authenticate with a cell phone number. [04:32] No way in hell I'm giving them a cell phone number [04:33] 48mb wow.. no wonder it downloaded so fast (for the second time).. let me just wait for the torrent [04:33] get a google voice number :P [04:33] didn't even think to check file size :s [04:33] Esat haha ok, you have to extract the deb file, type in the following === gonzalo_ is now known as gasalla [04:33] Does google voice support SMS? [04:33] yup [04:33] hmm, Well worth a try [04:33] It may work *shrug* [04:33] yeah I use google voice for all my smsing [04:33] My cell phone is a virgin moble prepaid because i don't rely need one, only for emergencies [04:34] ah yes [04:34] wish they supported multiple recipients though [04:34] !ot [04:34] #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! [04:34] slooksterpsv, i extract the deb already [04:34] I don't know if they suport that [04:34] Esat dpkg -x ./electric_8.10-1_all.deb ./electric - and it'll extract it to the folder electric [04:34] It's really very hot [04:34] Esat ok, perfect, then just cd to that directory (cd = change directory), so cd /home/yusuf/İndirilenler/electric_8.10-1_all.deb/data/usr/share/java/electric/com/sun/electric/ [04:35] Esat: then press enter and type in: java ./filename.class [04:35] IS there a way to stop cron form email 1 of the cron jobs? while still emailing others? [04:35] etherealite, I'm able to modprobe lirc_mceusb [04:35] slooksterpsv, i m here: yusuf@yusuf:~/İndirilenler/electric_8.10-1_all.deb/data/usr/share/java/electric/ [04:35] com/sun/electric/tool$ [04:36] mrjn sounds like it should be working to me then. Beyond that I can't help you. [04:36] slooksterpsv, the server didnt start automatically ;((( [04:36] Esatok then what is the class name called [04:36] *Esat what is the class file name [04:36] pw-toxic, dang lemme see [04:36] client.class [04:37] slooksterpsv, [04:37] slooksterpsv, i guess i did something wrong.. but i dont know how to debug [04:37] Esat run java ./client.class [04:37] pw-toxic is the command before exit 0? [04:37] slooksterpsv, yes [04:37] How can i burn an audio cd on ubuntu? [04:37] a question: rc.local is exeuted as root? [04:37] The default burner only burns data disc [04:38] pw-toxic it's executed at the runlevel so yes [04:38] when i run this command, it says me this: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: //client/class [04:38] slooksterpsv, [04:38] Esat, hmmmm, I don't know how to debug java [04:38] Has anyone setup Ubuntu 10.04.1 as a NIS client to a Solaris NIS server that uses shadow passwords? [04:39] slooksterpsv, May i open .class files with GUI software like Class Editor? [04:39] slooksterpsv, my german wiki tells me, that since ubuntu 10.04 this file is replaced by Upstart [04:39] esat, sure [04:39] pw-toxic I forgot about upstart [04:40] slooksterpsv, i open the .class file, but there is not ant text [04:40] slooksterpsv, there is a wiki entry.. ill try it and tell you if it worked [04:40] Crash1hd: i think if you push all output to /dev/null then no mail will occur, but i'm not 100%. command >/dev/null 2>&1 [04:40] Or is familiar with whatver pam.d changes are needed to read NIS-provided shadow passwords? I thought pam_unix.so would just work? [04:40] thune3, will give it a try thanks :) I have a cron that runs every 1/2 hr [04:41] slooksterpsv, have you ever used the Class Editor? [04:41] Esat I have not [04:41] slooksterpsv, ok, thanks [04:41] Crash1hd: a variation is to just redirect stdout to /dev/null (>/dev/null), and leave stderr to send a mail if error output is produced. [04:42] 这有中国人么 [04:42] Hrmm.... When I try to "Unlock" the Login Screen Settings, I get this in Lucid: "Failed to unlock: The name org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any .service files" === david is now known as Guest29087 [04:42] Esat I'm downloading the file right now, I'll see if I can help you out, I know how to program so I may be able to help in the lingo sense [04:42] thune3, is that by doing without the 2>&1 === spartan is now known as spartan117 [04:42] Crash1hd: right [04:42] slooksterpsv, thank you [04:43] slooksterpsv, i will wait your answer [04:43] !cn | sunwear [04:43] thune3, ok was googling what that does :) [04:43] sunwear: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [04:43] thune3, thanks :) [04:43] Anybody setup Ubuntu as a NIS client? [04:44] i know [04:44] slooksterpsv, do you know about runlevels? [04:44] slooksterpsv, "start on runlevel [2345]" ... what runlevel should i choose for tightvncserver? [04:45] can anyone talk me through what I should do to connect to internet via bluetooth 3G phone. DUN/NAP/PAN/pan0/bnep0/WAP/ppp0! which ones do I need? [04:45] How to edit .class files to use Java Class Editor software? [04:46] pw-toxic I believe... 2 is what you want [04:46] .class files are the binary outcome of compitation procces [04:47] enav, are there language codes ? [04:47] Can anyone with Lucid unlock the Login Screen Settings successfully? Or is this a bug? [04:47] just machine language not source code [04:48] bits 0101010000010101 [04:48] Esat enav is right it's already compiled, so you can't read it [04:48] well humans can't... to make a binary file readable for humand you need to decompile the code [04:48] slooksterpsv, i want to translate software's to my parent language [04:48] use some java decompilator [04:49] enav, Java Class Editor is not compilator? [04:49] How can i burn an audio cd on ubuntu? [04:49] The default burner only burns data disc [04:49] i d k [04:49] Agent001: that is not true [04:49] its true [04:50] 100 buck is false === _BEAST is now known as MAD_BEAST [04:50] What can i do to translate the software to another language? slooksterpsv [04:50] OK, then how do i set it audio burn? [04:50] pw-toxic_ did 2 work? [04:50] Esat: Java Class Editor seems to use javaprec to compile programs in a way that they can be edited at runtime [04:50] slooksterpsv, nope ;/ [04:50] Esat do you have the source [04:50] Esat: assuming you're talking about http://class-editor.sourceforge.net/ [04:51] slooksterpsv, i dont know, i habe many folder in this directory [04:51] open applications ---> sound & video --> Brasero burning [04:51] anyone know how to ping gps satellites with morris code ? [04:51] slooksterpsv, anyway rc.local should still work because its only deprecated.. not removed [04:51] the first option says AUDIO project [04:51] tensorpudding, : yes [04:51] pw-toxic_ http://www.ivankristianto.com/os/ubuntu/howto-run-script-on-boot-process-in-ubuntu/1171/ yeah [04:51] MAD_BEAST: ping what????? [04:51] Esat: you need to use that ROM thing, have you read the instructions on that site? [04:51] ok east [04:51] pw-toxic_ the rc.local in init.d should work [04:51] u're right [04:51] cool man thx [04:52] burn your stuff to 19 X [04:52] Esat: if your goal is to port this software to a different language, you almost certainly don't want to use this, though. [04:52] 10 X [04:52] supercom32: you run ldxe as well as gnome from gdm? [04:52] why? [04:52] I need help getting wifi running on my laptop ThinkPad T510 Intel Wifi Link 6250 [04:52] slooksterpsv, when im booting I only see a ubuntu logo.. i want to see more!! what is ubuntu doing on startup etc.. some feedback... is there an option? [04:52] Can someone tell me which cli cd burning tool to install? [04:52] wrong channel sorry , I knew the answer to my question [04:52] east, why 19x? [04:52] slooksterpsv, and since this is very fast.. where can i access what happened at startup? [04:52] tensorpudding, so what can i do to translate? [04:53] Agent001: 10 X [04:53] or lower [04:53] Esat: What are you trying to translate it to? [04:53] Esat: And why? [04:53] east, why though? [04:53] anyone know a good channel for wifi umm scripting ? [04:53] tensorpudding, i want to translate all of the software to my parent language: For example: the menüs, the dialogs [04:54] coz, it is English software [04:54] and open source [04:54] why at 10x? and not maximum? [04:54] Esat: Using the runtime class editor for that is stupid [04:54] wouldnt that be slower === aybabtu is now known as Guest52665 [04:54] tensorpudding, so what can i do? [04:54] Esat: The best way to translate is to edit the source code [04:54] Agent001: maximun speed cause some times writte erros [04:54] pw-toxic_ hmmm trying to find how we do that === MAD_BEAST is now known as TeTH3R [04:55] and 10x is guranteed? [04:55] slooksterpsv, going for reboot now... when i connect with new name like _... im back [04:55] tensorpudding, where can i know which ones are source codes? [04:55] Agent001: some cheap chineese CD player can read cd burned at 12 X for example [04:55] Esat: Presumably the GUI code that includes error messages, and just about anything where text is printed to the user, can be edited to take into account locale information, with some work, and provide the right language. [04:55] pw_toxic_ found the info we need lol [04:56] Esat: Do you know anything about Java, or programming? [04:56] i recommend burn data at 8X audio CD to [04:56] no, [04:56] i just want to translate [04:56] my entire system just ffroze and i can only type in this chat box [04:56] lol [04:56] Esat: Basically, you could just look for wherever there is a printed string, and translate it. [04:56] cool man, 10x!! [04:57] gm [04:57] slooksterpsv, still doesnt work... really strange [04:57] tensorpudding, there are hundreds files in this software. how can i find which one i will translate? [04:58] Esat: There are probably quite a few files you'll have to check for strings to translate. [04:58] pw_toxic ok gimme a sec [04:58] kernal won't update any suggestions, please? [04:58] Esat: what app you want to translate [04:59] enav: Electrical CAD system which in in Ubuntu repositories [04:59] you can access it with Ubuntu Software Center [04:59] Esat: and what language? [04:59] germany? spanish? [04:59] it is orjinally English [04:59] Esat: You probably need to know a little bit about the organization of the source to find out which files to translate. [05:00] tensorpudding, yes [05:00] all of the source code is on my hard disk [05:00] but i cant find them [05:00] does anyone know a webpage where i can see a list of helpful ubuntu programs? [05:00] Esat: the "right" way to do it would be to make it so that the translation is maintainable, by removing the hardcoded language strings and enabling it to determine language through locale settings [05:01] for example like an automatic backup program? [05:01] or gnome-do? [05:01] Esat withc language you want to translate to [05:01] enav, Turkish [05:01] pw-toxic, you can find list in software center [05:01] Esat: but that would actually require you to know Java, and to communicate with the developers of this software. [05:01] AbhiJit, where do i find software center? [05:01] :/ [05:01] pw-toxic, i think software center does the job [05:02] pw-toxic, application=>software center [05:02] tensorpudding, why i need to comminication with the developers? [05:02] btw, i didn't fall for your trap enav [05:02] pw-toxic, ew, GNOME menu: Applications -> Ubuntu software center [05:02] I'm burning at max speed [05:02] icarus-c, lol cool! thx [05:02] Esat: because if your translation doesn't keep up-to-date with the upstream devs, it will never get kept up-to-date with the latest version, unless you handle that yourself [05:02] Esat let me help you with this... translating is a good way to collaborate with open source comunity [05:02] pw-toxic, for backup, a nice tool is backintime [05:02] tensorpudding, i know something about programming, [05:02] hello I am using ubuntu 10 I am not able to use copy and paste like unix terminal [05:03] Agent001: what? [05:03] pw-toxic, it is like Mac OS X' Time machine [05:03] enav, : i am waiting your answer [05:03] aslam, 10.?? [05:03] the new one [05:03] Esat im cheking electrical CAD web site [05:03] aslam, 10.04 or 10.10 [05:03] Esat give me a sec [05:03] enav, : ok [05:03] Can anyone reccomend some advanced text editors like Kate or Notepad++??? [05:03] pw-toxic, backintime is a GUI frontend to command line utility like rsync, rdiff [05:03] multipass, vim, emacs [05:03] Linux aslam-laptop 2.6.32-24-generic #43-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 16 14:17:33 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [05:03] icarus-c, yes i know backintime.. i was using it but i didnt remember the name because i have set up my serveral totally new ;) [05:03] tensorpudding, if you also help me about this, it is very good for our languages improve [05:04] multipass, notepad++ is kinda weak comparing with them :) [05:04] icarus-c: im sure, but im mearly doing web development, so it might be over the top [05:04] icarus-c, i have a 5TB fileserver on my server running making automatic backups with backintime.. i LOVE it [05:04] Esat: i.e. if you translate version 2.0, and they release an update to 2.1, you need to update your translation to 2.1 by taking all your translation patches and fixing them to apply to 2.1, and then adding new patches to patch the new things added in the release. [05:04] Abhijit [05:04] you there [05:04] yes [05:04] can you tell me how to check the version [05:04] is it uname -a [05:04] icarus-c: i did try them out to, kinda was hard to get the hang of after using stuff like notepad++ [05:04] aslam, lsb_release -a [05:05] multipass, some good "casual" text editors are gedit , kwrite, kate [05:05] cool [05:05] mine is 10.04.1 [05:05] Esat: I'm pretty sure that the Ubuntu/Gnome teams design their software to be easily translated, especially by people who don't know how to program, but this software probably is not. [05:05] ok [05:05] Доброе время суток... [05:05] !ru | natali [05:05] natali: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [05:06] tensorpudding, : i know [05:06] downloaded Puppy Linux and the iso file came as a rar, is that normal? because I can't find a .iso in there [05:06] tensorpudding, yes. translation is modular [05:06] aslam, so what actually issue with copy pasting? [05:06] i am not able to copy and paste via mouse selection [05:06] aslam, in terminal? [05:06] yeah [05:06] icarus-c: so can gedit be modded out to be near notepadd++ any idea? [05:06] <^Lestat> Is this the channel for "Im used to windows, can I get help here?" [05:06] Why isn't this working: sudo wodim -scanbus ???? [05:06] Hey guys.

[05:07] aslam, did you first just select text with mouse and then in terminal right press the mouse wheel? what doesw it to?

[05:07] master use only one wifi software to connect [05:07] i am using a laptop [05:07] tensorpudding, the most important thing which to translate orjinally software [05:07] Esat where you get the source [05:07] with the touch pads [05:07] the others are easy [05:07] aslam, you mean are refferering mouse to your touchpad? [05:07] <^Lestat> AbhiJit: Is there an irc channel for guys like me? [05:07] geeez people are random here [05:07] multipass, after all, if you are stuck with notepad++, you could use it with Wine on Linux [05:07] pw_toxic not gonna work with tightvncserver [05:07] icarus-c: ok, will do-- tabbed windows, dual views(side by side), syntax highoighting, possibly ftp... [05:08] enav, i dowanloaded the .deb [05:08] Abhi, yes [05:08] Esat: but anyway, you probably should find this project's mailing list, and get acquainted with them and tell them about your interest to translate the project. They might make changes to make it easier for you to translate. [05:08] ^Lestat, for windows there is channel ##windows to join type /j ##windows. this is ubuntu support channel [05:08] I have not connected any mouse [05:08] but i dont remember where i downloaded it [05:08] random and a little to serious [05:08] icarus-c: yeah, i am considering it, but not sure yet :b seing whats out there [05:08] aslam, did that worked before? [05:08] Esat: are you java programmer? [05:08] tensorpudding, maybe i wil contact with them [05:08] enav, no [05:08] aslam, because i dunno if we can do that using touchpad i never done that [05:08] <^Lestat> thats whut I meant. Im a windows user, but am now running ubuntu [05:08] okay [05:08] <^Lestat> and I am LOVING this. [05:08] ^Lestat, you want support for ubuntu?

[05:10] live a little [05:10] oh okay [05:10] cool [05:11] enav, , had better to do that [05:11] ahh [05:11] so do you know any clue why is like that [05:11] but aht guidelies was for you aslam ^^ see above ubottu's msg of !guidelines [05:11] its open source you can build defense systems or make video games [05:11] aslam, does the touchpad copy pasting worked before? [05:11] yeah I clicked that [05:12] well n [05:12] no [05:12] enav, burn done in 3 mintues, no error [05:12] Esat translate a program is not like translate a openoffice document... is not impossible but need some theoretical firmament to do that.... just contac the development team... im sure they will be happy to have a translator [05:12] abhijith, did you get what i ment [05:13] aslam, ammm you mean you want the touchpad to act like mouse and to that copy paste thingy? right?

[05:28] i only have one harddisk [05:28] !kernel | ^Lestat [05:28] ^Lestat: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [05:28] ^Lestat: no [05:28] <^Lestat> heh, Im already on that wiki page. [05:28] Krishnandu: dude i checked but it didt showed wich im looking for ysterday i installed keylooger , but now i want to find whether it s installed r not [05:28] hello [05:28] all: i installed openPGP/enigmail in thunderbird.... but i am not able to see the pictures in mails... can anyone help me with this [05:29] i need assistance please [05:29] ^Lestat, with Linux, the kernel gives Linux its name, but they aren't interchangeable. [05:29] <^Lestat> sure sounds like one [05:29] yo yo yo [05:29] ashok_shetty, if you've installed it it would be there. [05:29] ^Lestat, an OS is more than just the kernel [05:29] tensorpudding: pretty sure the OS you run if you are running Ubuntu is Linux and Linux refers to the Kernel.. The DISTRO is Ubuntu === spartan117 is now known as spartan [05:29] Question #1: Does anyone play minecraft on linux? i need assistance setting up womclient on linux, it may seem stupid but i am really in a rush [05:29] Krishnandu: installation failed [05:29] <^Lestat> so So ubuntu is the OS using a linux kernel? [05:29] ashok_shetty, so how would it come there..?? [05:29] ^Lestat simply put, the kernal translates the 1's n 0's for the processor, the os is the code thats translated [05:29] ashok_shetty, it's not installed [05:29] ^Lestat: correct. [05:29] i think [05:29] The OS is not the same as the kernel, though. === spartan is now known as Guest86247 [05:30] Krishnandu: ya ur rite [05:30] <^Lestat> and both are open source [05:30] ^Lestat: no ubuntu is a Distro of Linux === Guest86247 is now known as spartan117 [05:30] <^Lestat> oi. Im so confused [05:30] aetaric, and a linux distro is an OS [05:30] is there a tweak to change the saturation or vibrance of my display? :)P [05:30] slooksterpsv, any results? ;) [05:30] ashok_shetty, :) [05:31] icarus-c: yep. just being difficult :) [05:31] well, more like precise [05:31] ^Lestat, ubuntu (a linux distro) runs on Linux [05:31] ^Lestat, linux kernel + GNU tools = linux OS, ubuntu is a distro of linux [05:31] ^Lestat, that distro is an OS [05:31] Linux running Linux within Linux. [05:31] Lestat what are your goals [05:32] Is anyone here familiar with Minecraft / WOMCLIENT? [05:32] Is it possible to change the gdm's theme? [05:32] ^Lestat, generally, by saying GNU/Linux we refer to a linux distribution, hence, a OS. when we say Linux, we refer to the kernel [05:32] !repeat | Destoned [05:32] Destoned: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com [05:32] <^Lestat> My goal is currently just to undersetand what Im working with before I dknow the "how" ;D [05:32] The kernel is not the only thing, though, otherwise Android would rightly be called Linux too. [05:32] crawl before you walk [05:32] didi, right click on desktop > change desktop background > theme [05:32] whoaaaaaaa [05:32] android is a linux distro [05:33] yes [05:33] it is linux [05:33] <^Lestat> Its just amazing that its free [05:33] i know. that was a statement [05:33] G1Bs0N: can you root an android device? [05:33] yes [05:33] all of them [05:33] Blue1: old news man [05:33] samsung htc whatever you got [05:34] ^Lestat, yesterday someone wasn't like you, he go kernel.org and download Linux before he understand what's linux and a linux distro [05:34] aetaric: well I don't use a cell phone but about 5-10 min/month so I don't know. [05:34] Good evening [05:34] Krishnandu: I don't see anything specifically to gdm. Am I missing something? [05:34] old news but i have old roots that are stripped of code [05:34] Blue1: a smiple google sells you it is. :p [05:34] I need to know how i can import a script file so i can call it in any directory in my cli without needing the file there, how would i do this? [05:34] didi, you want to change the theme right...?? [05:34] <^Lestat> heh Im not going to mess with this menu list until I learn more. [05:34] Blue1: what up [05:35] !gdm [05:35] aemaeth: i think you put it in /sbin/ [05:35] Krishnandu: Yes. But not of Metacity. From gdm, the login stage. [05:35] Pentium3, i'll try that now [05:35] aemaeth: sudo cp /path/to/script /usr/bin [05:35] my first install was Debian Woody doing manual package selection (I thought I was a smarty-pants). It was a very long and drawn out FAIL [05:35] aemaeth: like the word used to animate the golem? [05:36] Pentium3: it is a user script, therefore, /usr/bin [05:36] aetaric, i actually tried /usr/bin and it won't work [05:36] Blue1: you get a droid ? [05:36] type $PATH in the terminal [05:36] or maybe i don't know how to call it properly, tried tab to complete and nothing, typed mantually and nothing [05:36] aetaric: sorry, its getting late for me :) [05:36] didi: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/gdm2-setup-a-login-interface-management-utility-for-the-new-gdm.html [05:36] didi, ohh sorry...dunno that..but I think removing / changing that will make your system unstable coz of plymouth... [05:36] ^Lestat, did you create a separate partition for your /home ? [05:37] slooksterpsv, you still there? ;) [05:37] <^Lestat> I just ran with the default setup [05:37] * quiesense dies. [05:37] aetaric, what do you need from that? [05:37] silly router [05:37] pw-toxic yeah still working on it lol [05:37] pw-toxic this is tough [05:37] i do see many places with bin [05:37] aemaeth: you can put it in any of those dirs as long as the script has execute perms on it [05:38] i see, it could be as simple as they don't have those permissions [05:38] chmod 777 scriptname will do the trick [05:38] slooksterpsv, on what are you working? showing more information on startup or getting my tightvncviewer running on startup? ;) [05:38] then copy it [05:38] Krishnandu: Really? Hum... That's a shame. Thank you, anyway. [05:38] pw-toxic not tightvncserver but any vncserver to work [05:38] Anyone Familiar with .sh files, Minecraft, and WOMCLIENT? [05:39] slooksterpsv, the vnc server works.. but not on startup [05:39] slooksterpsv, i have to call it manually [05:39] What's preferred package maanger these days? [05:39] aptitude? [05:39] !anyone | Destoned [05:39] Destoned: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:39] try metaspolit [05:39] that was my real question [05:39] aetaric, thank you very much, this has solved my problem [05:39] didi, I'm nt sure...try what glebihan suggested [05:39] no problem aemaeth, glad i could help [05:39] glebihan: Oh, I see. But it's sad that I need to install a third party software to do something that I was always able to do. [05:40] im getting error while installing lkl keylogger [05:40] glebihan: Thank you, by the way. [05:40] #alternc go [05:40] keylogger whaaaaa [05:40] didi: yes the configuration options have been removed since lucid [05:40] #alternc go [05:40] wait... you WANT to install a keylogger? [05:40] #alternc go [05:40] Destoned, what's problem with .sh files..?? Though I'm not an expert [05:40] Ubuntuwhat ubuntu help channels are available? [05:40] didi: don't know why [05:40] i just need to get it to run [05:40] its associated with java [05:41] anyone know how to adjust the color saturation in ubuntu? [05:41] ^Lestat, what irc program are you using? If you type the first few characters of someone's nickname and hit tab, it should autocomplete in most cases. That makes it easier to see replies. Also, if you create a separate /home partition, you don't have to worry about breaking anything. A reinstall (manual partitioning again) you can select "don't format" for your home partition, and all of your files, settings etc will still be th [05:41] ere after the reinstall. [05:41] so if i have sshd running and my root pass is 12345 everyone is welcome to be root on my my machine [05:41] (sorry for repeating the questions so much) [05:41] <^Lestat> ok so bootstrap says "Hey Mr Kernel, please instantiate with these paramters" [05:41] glebihan, didi just coz of plymouth...!! [05:41] im assuming no reply means no idea? [05:41] Destoned, what's your query buddy..?? [05:41] what is that..? [05:42] Wondering if someone could help me out I have a Asus Labtop thats a G50VT, and its running ubuntu 8.10 on it, and with the wireless then its kinda of having problems [05:42] <^Lestat> Seven_Six_Two: Pidgin [05:42] juk, if you forward the ssh port from your router and your isp doesn't block [05:42] Krishnandu: But plymouth runs before gdm. And gdm has nothing to do with boot. [05:42] Destoned: if you just ask the actual question, i'm sure we can help you [05:42] Destoned: sorry, just got here - what seems to be the problem? it's not running... what's the error/output? [05:42] Krishnandu: I hate plymouth... can't even get to have a splash screen working on startup... [05:42] didi, well....I said I'm not sure... [05:42] ^Lestat, oh I'm not sure about how Pidgin works. I hop between xchat and irssi [05:42] Krishnandu: OK. [05:42] irssi is ftw [05:42] if I have a password on the internet then when I enter it into the network configuration then sometimes it'll connect and work, but it also like encrypts the password [05:42] "minecraft-osx.sh" is an executable text file. [05:42] <^Lestat> Seven_Six_Two: Any recomends for /home partition size? [05:42] when i try running it [05:42] didi, coz plymouth is integrated such that changing anything related to it will harm the system [05:43] there is a way to run it, i just dont know how [05:43] but if i take the password off the internet then the wireless on my labtop works jst find [05:43] glebihan, ya :( [05:43] would anyone know a solution [05:43] Destoned: ./script.sh [05:43] pw-toxic - OMG I GOT IT! [05:43] trophy [05:43] how to chect installed soft..in terminal [05:43] ^Lestat, I allow about 2GB for swap, 10GB for / and the rest for home (and another for storage) taking up the rest of the space [05:43] what mocha0range? [05:43] slooksterpsv, so let me know ;) [05:43] ashok_shetty, dpkg -l [05:43] Destoned, are yaar...what are you asking..?? [05:44] pw-toxic - in /etc/rc.local type in the following, (and replace user with your user or the user who you're vncing in as): su user -c "cd ~user && vncserver :1" [05:44] im wondering how to run "minecraft-osx.sh" is an executable text file. [05:44] <^Lestat> Seven_Six_Two: I take it you are refering to /myName and not fileSystem/home ? [05:44] Destoned: to run the script, when you're in that folder, run "./scriptname.sh" [05:44] ^Lestat, you might want to allow a bit more for / if you're going to install all kinds of programs to try them out [05:44] Destoned: you joined #ubuntu for help with OS X? [05:44] <^Lestat> hmmm [05:44] Destoned, We know .sh are shell script files...but what the problem...?? [05:44] Destoned: also, what aetaric said [05:44] no its not on a mac [05:44] its on linux [05:44] Artemis3: what about to check particular soft.. === tab_ is now known as troy- [05:44] pw-toxic we're at a start, I was booted from vnc but not sure if it was timeout reasons or what [05:44] i know people that have run it on linux, i cant get ahold of them atm [05:44] aetaric, one script calling another can't access the 2nd, know how i can fix this? [05:45] Is there a way to have notify-osd be able to display more than one notification at a time? right now it waits till the first has disappeared before showing the next [05:45] <^Lestat> Seven_Six_Two: I do understand thats all subjective. Can I just use gparted to repartition? [05:45] Destoned, bash minecraft-osx.sh [05:45] slooksterpsv, after the && i can do my own vnc command? [05:45] bash? [05:45] ^Lestat, not sure what you mean. I have /home mounted on its own partition. all users are on that one for their homes as well [05:45] slooksterpsv, since im using tightvncserver [05:45] pw-toxic sure [05:45] Destoned, can you please explain what you want to achieve..?? What's your goal..?? [05:45] pw-toxic but that'll only run after the vnc session is ended [05:45] i want it to run minecraft.jar [05:45] scottj: I don't think there's a userside way [05:45] that is its purpose [05:45] ashok_shetty, you could also run aptitude [05:45] its a custom client for minecraft [05:45] aemaeth: use absolute pathnames, or move whatever extra script you are running into the same dir. [05:45] <^Lestat> phew busy channel [05:45] ^Lestat, it's possible, but you'd be a lot better off doing a fresh install instead of trying to resize (shrink) a partition [05:46] Destoned, do you have jre installed...?? [05:46] Destoned, minecraft-osx.sh is supposed to be a shell script. bash could execute the script [05:46] slooksterpsv, i dont know what you are meaning with user [05:46] yes [05:46] there are currently two users [05:46] aetaric, thanks, i see what you mean now [05:46] root and pw-toxic [05:46] what is bash? [05:46] Seven_Six_Two:isn't there's a secure way via ssh gpg or ssl keys? [05:46] im very new to linux/terminal [05:46] Destoned, shell [05:46] so user would be pw-toxic [05:46] Destoned: the shell [05:46] What's the best alternative to notify-osd? (that can display more than one notification at a time) [05:46] ^Lestat, I would only resize if I'm enlarging one [05:46] glebihan: thanks [05:46] <^Lestat> Seven_Six_Two: I would. But when I tried instlaling fresh 10.4 it failed and I did not have the different kernel load options. [05:46] !bash | Destoned [05:46] Artemis3: dude to find particular soft what is the code to find [05:46] Destoned: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [05:46] juk, sorry, I'm not sure what you're referring to [05:46] can u expand on that explamation? [05:46] Destoned, like Windows command prompt is a shell [05:46] o [05:47] <_numbers> how do i enable a service on runlevels 2, 3, 5 from cli [05:47] so would anyone know what would be the problem with my wireless [05:47] Destoned: to be more precise, the magic thing that accepts the commands [05:47] ashok_shetty, which soft? [05:47] <^Lestat> Seven_Six_Two: Whatever comes with 10.4 my laptop does not like. [05:47] oh terminal [05:47] slooksterpsv, ill give it a try [05:47] slooksterpsv, brb [05:47] aetaric, yes, wonderful, they are all working together now, my grandchildren will sing songs in praise of your name [05:47] Destoned, yaa..!! And the GUI you are using right now is also a shell [05:47] Artemis3: example vlc [05:47] terminal is not a precise description though..

Thanks for helping me ;)) [05:47] ok so type what in terminal? [05:48] ^Lestat, in what way? is it a fairly old laptop? I've gone from 8.04-10.10 on my laptop without too many issues [05:48] Destoned, sh yourfilename.sh [05:48] Destoned, bash /path/to/minecraft-osx.sh [05:48] Destoned, or what icarus-c suggested. Both the method will work [05:48] <^Lestat> Seven_Six_Two: Upgrading went well, but a direct install is what broke for me. Just loads to a blank screen after install [05:48] hi all [05:48] Destoned: really, the terminal accepts your login credentials and then opens your login shell (by default /bin/bash)... but this is the technical way to look at it [05:48] hi logan_wolf [05:48] Krishnandu, not if the file isn't in current working directory [05:48] Artemis3: what is dpkg [05:48] ^Lestat, sorry I missed your previous message. did you install boot loader to MBR? [05:48] hi all [05:48] Destoned: really, the terminal accepts your login credentials and then opens your login shell (by default /bin/bash)... but this is the technical way to look at it [05:48] hi logan_wolf [05:48] Destoned: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:49] icarus-c, ya..!! :) [05:49] omg, thats not what i copied [05:49] says sh: cannot run minecraft-osx.sh [05:49] scottj: not sure but I don't think there is an alternative, because an application that uses notify-osd calls specific methods for osd [05:49] Destoned: try running "chmod +x /path/to/your/file.sh" [05:49] Destoned: then the command you tried before [05:50] mocha0range, it shouldn't matter when you run it with the shell specifically [05:50] glebihan: I'm actually writing my own program for my own use so that would be ok [05:50] Destoned, are you in the dir where your .sh file resides..?? [05:50] Destoned: OR chmod +x minecraft-osx.sh [05:50] same error [05:50] Krishnandu, hey man [05:50] icarus-c: oh, you mean using the 'sh' command? [05:50] Destoned, are you in the same dir where your .sh file resides..?? If not then go to that dir with cd [05:51] ok [05:51] you only need to give it execute right if you want to run it by "./minecraft-osx.sh" instead of bash minecraft-osx.sh [05:51] one sec [05:51] slooksterpsv, didnt work either ;( [05:51] icarus-c: good to know, thanks [05:51] Krishnandu, I am still facing that problem that I am not able to install any software from software centre though I can do the same from CLI [05:51] I have logged in to a remote Solaris server with ssh -X and started gnome-session to get a desktop. I get the desktop successfully, but I can't get a panel because I can't stop gnome-panel without it restarting. The only guide I could find said to look for session manager, but that's not listed in my menus. Is there another way to temporarily disable gnome-panel without having to start it by hand every time I log in? [05:51] ok now im there [05:51] logan_wolf, lol...!! No idea..!! [05:51] pw-toxic, really? I used Remote Desktop Viewer and it worked for me doing 192.168.0.96:1 (where :1 = display [05:51] Destoned, how run what icarus-c said [05:51] this minecraft thing... could run like: java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft.jar (assuming you installed sun java) [05:51] Krishnandu, ha ha ha [05:52] Destoned, that chmod +x yourfilename.sh [05:52] Seven_Six_Two: so you came to #ubuntu for help with solaris? [05:52] Destoned, that means "bash /path/to/the/minecraft-osx.sh" [05:52] Destoned, and then ./yourfilename.sh [05:52] #reddit [05:52] aetaric, no, I came to Ubuntu for help with temporarily disabling the auto-restart of gnome-panel [05:52] logan_wolf, try asking again here...lets see if some-one can help..!! [05:52] hmm\ [05:53] aetaric, solaris just won't give me its panel while my local one is running [05:53] Seven_Six_Two: in my many years of breaking and fixing linux systems... i'm not even sure if you can stop it from starting [05:53] I am facing an issue with the new box on which I installed lucid........... I am not able to install softwares from software centre though I can do the same via sudo apt-get install [05:53] logan_wolf, what error does it throws..?? [05:54] paste.ubuntu.comAZ/499457/ [05:54] aetaric, oh, there's a way. It just might not be pretty. ;) [05:54] Krishnandu, that is the whole problem its not throwing any error [05:54] that link please [05:54] logan_wolf, what error it throws when you try to install through software center...?? [05:54] quality is better than quantity... [05:54] Krishnandu, when I click on the install button it just clicks and ............. nothing [05:54] logan_wolf, and can you install with synaptic? [05:54] logan_wolf, mmm...one min...you are saying you are not able to install sftwr thru sftwr centr right..?? So what does it shows..?? What happens when you try to install sftwr?? [05:54] Destoned, simple. "No such file or directory" [05:55] Destoned: ah, okay, the problem is your file isn't on your desktop - which is where you're trying to run the command. Do you know where the file is located? [05:55] Krishnandu, just a click on install button and then ........ dead nothing happens .......... and I just keep on waiting that it will install :P [05:55] desktop/womclient/ HERE [05:55] or the file is on your desktop, and you opened a terminal (defaults to your home dir) [05:56] Destoned, cd ~/Desktop/womclient # note that upper/lower case matters [05:56] Seven_Six_Two, yeah man its installing via synaptic [05:56] logan_wolf, hmmm... [05:57] logan_wolf, no idea..!! :) [05:57] Does anyone know if clonezilla has an irc channel? [05:57] icarus-c thats where it WAS [05:57] crucialhoax, maybe on irc.mozilla.org [05:57] look at the link again [05:57] icarus-c, Thank you! [05:57] Krishnandu, no issues man thnx for the time ;) === Catalyst is now known as Guest76872 [05:57] scottj: there doesn't seem to be many alternatives to notify-osd [05:58] logan_wolf, it's ok buddy :) [05:58] actually clonezilla has no relation with mozilla ^^! [05:58] i need a http proxy on any other port than 80 - any ideas? [05:58] Krishnandu, where you from ??

[05:58] Destoned, no matter what you say, the fact is "~/Desktop/Womclient/womclient-osx.sh" does NOT exist [05:58] raven [05:59] How can I change my initrd settings?

[06:00] Destoned, can you see the file thru GUI..?? [06:01] what do i do after Chmod +X filename [06:01] crucialhoax, oops, clonezilla has no relation to mozilla :P [06:01] socks 5 or l1 http [06:01] Krishnandu, yup....... C, C++ [06:01] Seven_Six_Two, right [06:01] where and to find keylogger package [06:01] GUI? [06:01] How can I get initrd to mount a cd at boot? [06:01] Krishnandu, though I am right now doing a job in LAMP development [06:01] logan_wolf, well...not like that...I've learned many languages...and right now I'm not using any specific language [06:01] raven, you'd need to find a web proxy outside your own system that accepts connections on nonstandard ports? Not sure if you'll find one for free. [06:02] logan_wolf, right now I'm using Gambus [06:02] ogm [06:02] etherealite: that would be done by adding an entry in fstab, but I doubt it's a very good idea [06:02] Seven_Six_Two, raven, there's TOR (the onion router) :P [06:02] glebihan why is it such a bad idea? [06:02] Seven_Six_Two, i just found one on xroxy [06:02] Destoned, Yaar...leave command line and try finding the file using Graphical Interface [06:03] icarus-c, i know but its too slow [06:03] raven, true [06:03] Krishnandu, good for you .......... a new one for me [06:03] icarus-c, that stops the webservers from tracking, but does that bypass 80, or just make all traffic disperse to nodes? [06:03] graphical interface? can you speak english? [06:03] etherealite: because if the disk is not present, it could prevent your system from booting [06:03] logan_wolf, Well...Gambus is VB for Linux..!! [06:03] raven: oh no kidding, it's like surfing the web through molasses when you're connecting through russia [06:03] Krishnandu, hmmmm good man [06:03] logan_wolf, Though Linux is not new for me...I'm using it from class 7 [06:03] glebihan don't the hooks need to be written in C? [06:04] Krishnandu, thats cool man [06:04] Krishnandu wtf is a graphical interface [06:04] !GUI | Destoned [06:04] Destoned: The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively) [06:04] <^Lestat> Destoned: GUI ? [06:04] Destoned, navigate to the file in concern in File Explorer (nautilus) , right click the script file -> Properties -> Permission, TICK Owner's Execute right, now double click on the file and select Run in Terminal when asked [06:04] Krishnandu, I have started using it resently.............. I have been programming since class 7 :) [06:04] yes i see it in a window [06:04] logan_wolf, ohh..!! Thats nice..!! [06:04] Destoned, thats gr8...say the path [06:04] in the file WOMCLIENT which is on the Desktop [06:04] Destoned, it's a GUI. it's everything graphical. You'll know GUI when you feel its lack the first time [06:05] Seven_Six_Two, lol...thats a nice ans..!! [06:05] etherealite: I don't think there's anything to write in C to make it work [06:05] Seven_Six_Two: haha, so true [06:05] Krishnandu, I found lucid very good [06:05] Desktop/Womclient/Minecraft-osx.sh [06:05] Destoned, same way you just used wtf instead of writting the three words, ppl use gui and cli very often [06:05] * ^Lestat is quite pleased with gEdit [06:05] Destoned, .................. bash Desktop/Womclient/Minecraft-osx.sh [06:05] Destoned, .................. bash ~/Desktop/Womclient/Minecraft-osx.sh [06:05] Destoned, gr8...now to go to terminal and type cd /Desktop/Womclient [06:05] etherealite: I don't know exactly how a missing disk would be handled [06:06] what is nautilus [06:06] Seven_Six_Two: first time I got a job doing server admin work taught me that REALLY quick - before then i had only had to use the shell to do stuff once in a while [06:06] Destoned, or what icarus-c is suggesting [06:06] glebihan, drop the leading / [06:06] !nautilus | glebihan [06:06] ashok_shetty: It's the file manager used by GNOME [06:06] glebihan can it be done it grub? I could modify the menu entry? [06:06] um [06:06] logan_wolf, ya...ubuntu is really good for newbies...a good solutions for start learning linux [06:06] no worries glebihan [06:06] tensorpudding: thanks [06:06] its telling me theres no such file or directory [06:07] Glebelg, Destoned don't put /Desktop as Desktop isn't at the root of the filesystem [06:07] everything IS spelt correctly [06:07] Krishnandu, though I have started working just on CLI but still the GUI is really good [06:07] etherealite: I don't think you can do it in grub, grub runs way before file systems are mounted [06:07] Seven_Six_Two: ? [06:07] tensorpudding: can v change the root settings thier [06:07] logan_wolf, hmm :) [06:07] Destoned, cd ~/Desktop/Womclient/ && bash Minecraft-osx.sh # don't even change a letter : ) [06:07] logan_wolf, so you are using it for LAMP development..?? [06:07] etherealite: you could try with fstab and change it back if it doesn't work (if you have a live cd) [06:07] Krishnandu, yup [06:08] icarus-c, I hope he doesn't copy after # :) [06:08] Krishnandu, that doesn't matter. comment :) [06:08] glebihan, Destoned /home/username/Desktop is ok and so is ~/Desktop and so is Desktop/whatever (if you'r currently in /home/username [06:08] slooksterpsv, lol looks like it is a very hard task for ubuntu to get a programm running on startup.. [06:08] logan_wolf, Good..!! I too did use LAMP thrice in college...but I don't found any good editor...like Dreamweaver [06:08] Seven_Six_Two, i would suggest not to confuse him further.. [06:08] slooksterpsv, http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/VNC there is a big script i ahve tested too.. [06:08] slooksterpsv, is there a bootup log? [06:08] ok seriously. Im in Desktop/Womclient in the terminal [06:09] isn't there a "Downloads" folder nowdays? i think his file might be elsewhere... [06:09] icarus-c, Ohh i didn't know that..!! Does bash too treats that as comment..?? [06:09] i type bash minecraft-osx.sh [06:09] it says it doesnt exsist. ITS RIGHT THERE [06:09] Destoned, Minecraft-osx.sh [06:09] iv tried it with a capitl and no capital [06:09] pw-toxic I'm having trouble staying connected and even the keyboard functioning [06:09] Destoned, note the letter case [06:09] Krishnandu, By LAMP i mean platform LAMP........ Linux.... Apache...Mysql....Php [06:09] Destoned, god...just copy what icarus-c suggested [06:09] Destoned: type "ls -la" - do you see a list of files; then is the file you're looking for in that list? [06:09] or maybe the script is calling a file which doesn't exist... [06:09] Destoned, can you do ls -l in that directory and paste the line with the file here? [06:09] logan_wolf, I know buddy...!! [06:09] Destoned, cd ~/Desktop/Womclient/ && bash Minecraft-osx.sh [06:10] logan_wolf, ohh you mean you [06:10] logan_wolf, ohh you mean you're working as admin..?? [06:10] -rwxr-xr-x 1 destoned destoned 543 2009-11-20 23:03 minecraft-osx.sh [06:10] see its there [06:10] Seven_Six_Two: didn't understand what you were talking about, was a message from Krishnandu [06:10] Destoned, cd ~/Desktop/Womclient/ && bash minecraft-osx.sh [06:10] no no no ........ I am a fresher yaar............ I am just a developer right now [06:10] ohh it would be minecraft-osx.sh [06:10] cat minecraft-osx.sh and paste the result in pastebin [06:11] Artemis3: if that was the case, wouldn't it give you an output error, not just a file not found? [06:11] glebihan, np. [06:11] Artemis3, bash would complain loudly if the script isn [06:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/499462/ [06:11] 'isn't right or not a script at all [06:11] logan_wolf, ohh..!! [06:11] try for yourself, make a "script" which calls something which doesnt exist ^^ [06:11] glebihan, wat..?? [06:12] etherealite: by the way why do you need to do this ? [06:12] Krishnandu: About the "/Desktop" [06:12] Artemis3, bash blah [06:12] bash: blah: No such file or directory [06:12] Artemis3, icarus-c: haha, looks like a script error afterall [06:12] oh lol [06:12] glebihan to read a luks key to mount my encrypted root files system at boot. [06:12] glebihan, ohh...!! [06:12] hi [06:12] <^Lestat> Are there a few 'best practice' addressses for other software ? [06:12] <^Lestat> (in software sources) [06:12] yea [06:12] Destoned, type this command: cat minecraft-osx.sh and put that into pastebin [06:12] Krishnandu, icarus-c http://paste.ubuntu.com/499462/ [06:13] does the Ubuntu LiveCD let me install packages by any chance? I want to a rescue package for my software RAID. [06:13] ubuntu geeks security software [06:13] k [06:13] RufusSm, yes it does [06:13] etherealite: do your disk will always be present anyway ? [06:13] RufusSm, but note that the changes will vanish after reboot [06:13] icarus-c: so even if it's loaded in memory only, I can still install stuff through apt-get? [06:13] Destoned, that means the script wouldn't work on Linux without modification [06:13] glebihan it will always be in the drive. [06:14] yes, which is why i suggested to use java directly to lauch the .jar [06:14] try sudo apitude instead of apt-get [06:14] hello people, anyone have much experience getting an x-fi sound card to work? I have all the channels working, but for some reason my front channel doesn't work. No sound will come out, but my center and rear work just fine. [06:14] Destoned, this is obviously Mac OS X specific >> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home/bin/java [06:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/499464/ [06:14] etherealite: in that case, fstab should work fine [06:14] Destoned, maybe you could paste the script\ [06:14] I'm using pretty much a vanilla 10.04 (to my knowledge I messed around with pulse for awhile, then removed it) [06:14] yes, how do i modify the script [06:14] Destoned, god...you should have said "minecraft-osx.sh: line 12: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home/bin/java: No such file or directory [06:14] " rather than "No such file or directory" [06:14] Destoned, change "JAVA=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home/bin/java" to "JAVA=`which java`" [06:15] Destoned, its looking for the java virtual machine in a Mac location. find it on your computer (which java) and change that line [06:15] glebihan maybe, but it might not work because fstab is in the root file system which is encrypted? [06:15] how? [06:15] (( >_< )) [06:15] pw-toxic sorry I can't get it working :( I give up for now [06:15] Destoned, didn't you say you know how to change the script.. [06:15] gedit or nano are good text editors [06:15] icarus-c, nice. I didn't know you could do that [06:15] Destoned, gedit finename.sh [06:15] <^Lestat> It's certainly encouraging to see other users are as noob as myself ;) [06:15] no, im very new to linux and terminal [06:15] Destoned, gedit finename.sh [06:15] etherealite: oh I get it... you need it to be done before root filesystem is mounted... [06:15] slooksterpsv, thx anyways [06:16] ^Lestat: no matter how noob you think you are, there's always someone more noob [06:16] ok [06:16] want me to put it in pastebin? [06:16] Destoned, navigate to minecraft-osx.sh in file browser, open it with a text editor [06:16] ^Lestat, Destoned Once you're comfortable, don't forget to come back and help other new users [06:16] <^Lestat> mocha0range: I promise I'm noober [06:16] i will [06:16] Destoned, then in text editor, change the line : "JAVA=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home/bin/java" to "JAVA=`which java`" [06:16] Destoned, no that would open the script for editing, and now edit as what icarus-c said [06:16] <^Lestat> Uber Nuber! [06:16] etherealite: then you'll probably have to create an upstart job and use mount [06:16] <^Lestat> ;P [06:16] Many users are logging in IRC then they quit and they again log in. In the process, their address changes. How? [06:16] Destoned, the instructions in the page say to use this command: java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp Minecraft.jar [06:16] which java - where do i find my java [06:17] <^Lestat> Seven_Six_Two: I will most definately [06:17] Destoned, you should not need to use the .sh [06:17] how do i figure out what archetecture i have?

[06:19] slooksterpsv, i think the problem is, thatt the passwd file is not found [06:19] Destoned, if it doesn't work, you might need sun java, which is not installed by default [06:19] but it only means that the kernel installed is 32, i want to know if my cpu is 64bit capable [06:20] slooksterpsv, when i execute the command manually i do it as root [06:20] adzy: VirtualBox is better [06:20] sada you're running a 64 bit extension to the x86 processors.

[06:30] who to speak spanish [06:30] mkquist, obviously all the volumes are up, I've researched it, I'm actuallly surprised it's working at all, not much luck with an x-fi forte or so I hear [06:30] anyone know of any simple instructions for connecting via bluetooth? [06:30] Destoned, it should be : java -classpath skin:lib/jinput.jar:lib/lwjgl.jar:lib/lwjgl_util.jar:lib/wom.jar:lib/minecraft.jar -Djava.library.path=native/macosx -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Dsun.awt.noerasebackground=true -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -Dsun.java2d.opengl=false -Dsun.java2d.pmoffscreen=false -Xmx800M Main [06:30] bombero, in #ubuntu-es [06:31] benjamin_: might wanna check the alsa site to see if the hardware is supported and drivers loaded [06:31] Destoned, try this one: java -Xms800M -Xmx800M -classpath .:lib/jinput.jar:lib/lwjgl.jar:lib/lwjgl_util.jar:lib/wom.jar:lib/minecraft.jar -Djava.library.path=native/linux Main [06:31] mkquist, but then I realized that test was working on the rear and center channels and I was like, WOW! this should be possible [06:31] icarus-c type that in console? [06:31] sada, I think it can be done(not sure) but you'd have to get a new kernel *and* all of the 64bit libs [06:31] mkquist it says it... isn't :P [06:31] spanish!! [06:31] oh well icarus-c was faster ^^ [06:31] Destoned, yes. cd ~/Desktop/Womclient && java -classpath skin:lib/jinput.jar:lib/lwjgl.jar:lib/lwjgl_util.jar:lib/wom.jar:lib/minecraft.jar -Djava.library.path=native/macosx -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Dsun.awt.noerasebackground=true -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -Dsun.java2d.opengl=false -Dsun.java2d.pmoffscreen=false -Xmx800M Main [06:31] mkquist but it's a driver they have wroking with other cards (emu20k2 [06:31] anyone? [06:31] bombero, /join #ubuntu-es [06:31] sada, what I mean is it's not worth trying [06:31] icarus-c IT WORKED! [06:31] Seven_Six_Two: how do i install 64 bit then? is there a 64bit iso? and stage? [06:31] your amazing [06:32] Destoned, the script tells [06:32] sada, yes, you can download a 64bit iso [06:32] Whats this World of of Minecraft thing anyway? [06:32] benjamin_: well, if it's not supported then... or you just have to try to run checks and try to suse it out, might still work !sound [06:32] sada stage? for ubuntu? no, that's gentoo [06:32] !sound [06:32] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [06:32] benjamin_: !sound [06:32] Destoned, between, try again with: java -classpath skin:lib/jinput.jar:lib/lwjgl.jar:lib/lwjgl_util.jar:lib/wom.jar:lib/minecraft.jar -Djava.library.path=native/linux -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Dsun.awt.noerasebackground=true -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -Dsun.java2d.opengl=false -Dsun.java2d.pmoffscreen=false -Xmx800M Main [06:32] ashok_shetty: I have the folder with me now.. For which file to run were you asking help? [06:32] !32bit platform [06:32] ok i will read ubuntu manual [06:32] thank you for help [06:33] Destoned, the first one i told you was using native/macosx . which doesn't look good [06:33] benjamin_: ok that didnt work, lol, but check the sites on my last [06:33] but it worked [06:33] Qwert: im redownloading give me few seconds [06:33] mkquist on my last? [06:33] !ubuntu 64bit [06:33] icarus-c, you think he should disable opengl? i need to turn it on for stendhal ^^; [06:33] benjamin_: post [06:33] Destoned, yea. but who knows. i'm no java expert so [06:33] !oracle virtualbox [06:33] adzy, /msg ubottu [06:33] !keylogger [06:34] im able to get my bluetooth ear piece to pair with my laptop on ubuntu, but its not showing up as an audio device. [06:34] bazhang: whats that do? [06:34] benjamin_: i was just popping in to burn, watching a fliic so im out... [06:34] mkquist ah, ok. thanks! but, idk. not many people trying to do what I'm doing :P so there isn't much help out there. [06:34] Destoned, besides. i would get the script to work too. it is more handy [06:34] bazhang: A moment for pm please? [06:34] mkquist enjoy. [06:34] adzy, it gives the info without unneccesarily adding noise to the channel [06:35] ok :) [06:35] O_O [06:35] <^Lestat> I gotta go to bed. Gotta get up for work in 4 hrs. I just enjoy playing with stuff too much. [06:35] slooksterpsv, guess what - it works ;) [06:35] hello folks [06:35] icarus-c, in the forum for this game they state this is the official launcher for linux: http://www.worldofminecraft.com/H4X/linux.php [06:35] hi [06:35] pw-toxic, how'd you do it? [06:36] i had to set vncpasswd as pw-toxic [06:36] not as root [06:36] then the script on this page works: [06:36] http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/VNC [06:36] hello i have AMD HD4200 integrated graphics card, and on system>jardware drivers doesnt found anything.. when i install the drivers for AMS's website it works but there are bugs.. for example on Boxxe videos are monocromatic or black and white.. I would like to use the proprietary drivers because with MESA drivers cant play games.. Thanks. [06:36] slooksterpsv, the page is in german but ther eis a short part about /etc/init.d/vncserver with a large code block [06:36] Artemis3, lol don't tell me [06:36] pw-toxic awesom [06:37] slooksterpsv, so now another 5 hours in setting up samba? well see ;) [06:37] slooksterpsv, it takes a lot of time but at the end it makes fun.. dunno why ;) [06:37] lol [06:37] anyone know why my ubuntu machine (with pam_mount and winbind) keeps logging me off immediately after a successful login? [06:37] pw-toxic, it only takes you 5 hours? [06:37] Seven_Six_Two, it took me about 3-4 hors to get vnc running at startup i guess [06:38] im not sure... but it felt quite long:D [06:38] I keep seeing "pam_unix(login:session): session closed for user admin" immediately after I login as admin [06:38] Anyway Destoned you can make your own script, just edit a text file and put the concent of this page: http://www.worldofminecraft.com/H4X/linux.php save it as something.sh make it executable (chmod +x something.sh) and use that to launch your game afterwards [06:38] it took me a very long time to get it working when I first used it. [06:38] does anyone know how i can access the log from boot? [06:38] this sounds like it should be unrelated to pam_mount but i figure i'd throw that out there in case it has a relationship [06:38] for example the output of my init.d scripts which were executed? [06:39] pw-toxic lol [06:39] adzy, are you still asking how to check your platform is 32bit or 64bit? [06:39] pw-toxic, dmesg gives some output [06:39] icarus-c nope :D but im having trouble with install of virtualbox [06:39] phew I'mma outta here, gnight all =D [06:40] hello? [06:40] pw-toxic, some of the scripts will probably have their own log files in /var/log [06:40] icarus-c: ok how do i find out if im 32bit or 64 bit??? [06:40] Seven_Six_Two, but it doesnt give me the output of my init.d scripts [06:41] Qwert: hi download completed an downloads folder now tell me how to start installation [06:41] icarus-c sorry, my internet shut down for a minute [06:41] Seven_Six_Two, in the init script there is an echo... [06:41] adzy: uname -m [06:41] adzy, to check if you cpu is 64bit capable : "grep lm /proc/cpuinfo" [06:41] icarus-c: that wasn't his question [06:41] adzy, to check whether you are running 64bit or 32bit OS, uname -mr [06:42] um just -m would do [06:42] Qwert: ru thr man [06:42] pw-toxic, I thought they went to stdout which shows with dmesg [06:42] icarus-c: 2.6.32-24-generic i686 [06:42] icarus-c: is that 32 part mean im 32bit? [06:42] ashok_shetty: Hold on please [06:43] adzy, no. that 32 is part of kernel version number [06:43] Qwert: sure y not take ur own time [06:43] kapcom01, this might help you, but be careful: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1464748 [06:43] Seven_Six_Two, it doesnt.. because the init script which was executed obviously didnt produce any output in dmesg ;/ [06:43] adzy, i686 is a 32 bit cpu architecture [06:44] icarus-c thank you, you were very helpful [06:44] =D [06:44] is there a way in which we can search for files with zero bytes filesize in an ftp server and to redirect the list to a local file.? [06:44] Destoned, you are welcome [06:45] icarus-c, wow..!! is that solved...?? === _jesse_ is now known as _jesse__ [06:45] * Krishnandu is back :) [06:45] Destoned, between, we found that the command shown in http://www.worldofminecraft.com/H4X/linux.php is a better way to run it [06:45] Krishnandu, it was simply a java game ^^ [06:46] Artemis3, hmm..!! :P [06:49] ashok_shetty: Kindly guide yourself from the installation folder. Thank you. [06:50] hi === mike is now known as Guest69961 [06:51] pw-toxic, well I learned something today. Thanks! http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/easy-where-is-initd-log-file-253352/ [06:51] Hi, does anyone know how I would go about running a vst audio plugin within linux? [06:51] Seven_Six_Two, do you know how i can execute gedit as root on vnc server? ;) [06:52] i want to connect mysql database through gtk/c how to??? [06:52] * Seven_Six_Two recommends befriending google. sudo gedit & [06:52] or modifying a plugin so that I can use it to play audio files [06:53] pw-toxic, gksu gedit not working..?? [06:53] Krishnandu, my vncserver crashed after i did this ;) [06:53] i did gksudo [06:53] ohh...try gksu...though it's same [06:54] pw-toxic, are you trying to connect to a server through vnc and then run gedit *on that machine*, or have to used ssh to log in to the server, and you need to edit the vnc server config? [06:54] yard === adam_ is now known as Jyard [06:54] Seven_Six_Two, i have connected via vnc on windows7 and i want to edit a config file for example with gedit [06:54] anyone know any cool linux games that'll run on a netbook? [06:55] Jyard, Urt..!! U'll like it..!! [06:55] urt? :D [06:55] pw-toxic, can you open a terminal and type sudo gedit & [06:56] Jyard, Urban Terror [06:56] can someone please tell me why when i search for Android on Ubuntu and THATS IT, i dont get ANY results for it? I am looking for a beginners guide to andoid for ubuntu, so that i dont come here and ask stupid questions, But here i am. Im ready to start destoying things or something. [06:56] Seven_Six_Two, which terminal? on windows? [06:56] hello, how can I install an older version of php5 in Lucid? [06:56] what is the difference between boot scripts and hooks for makeinitramfs? [06:56] pw-toxic, on the linux machine [06:57] Seven_Six_Two, works! [06:57] Mahjongg, sudo apt-get php-mention-version-no [06:57] Seven_Six_Two, not it doesnt work.. vnc crashed again, but only after 4 seconds ;) [06:57] Mahjongg, sudo apt-get install php-mention-version-no [06:57] Seven_Six_Two, on my old machine this worked perfectly [06:58] pw-toxic, ok. try sudo vim filename.xxx [06:58] Seven_Six_Two, vim is too cimplicated for me.. and anyway i dont need vnc for vim [06:58] Krishnandu, how can I see what versions exist? [06:58] Krishnandu, do several version exist in the main repository [06:59] waitwait [06:59] Mahjongg, yup..!! U'll get older versions [06:59] pw-toxic, cat /var/log/vnc-logfile.whatever [06:59] pw-toxic: gksudo normally takes over the keyboard and mouse, which means things like vnc can't use the prompt, you can use gksudo -g to do it without taking over the entire screen [06:59] hmm looks pretty sweet [07:00] pw-toxic: so gksudo -g (command here) should technically work even over vnc [07:00] quiesense, but my old vnc was able to do so ;( === quiesense is now known as quiescens [07:00] Qwert, hey buddy can u explain all these i386, i586, i686 etc..?? [07:00] Krishnandu, how can I see the exact package names for different versions in the repository? [07:01] pw-toxic: are you accessing a vnc specific session or are you using vnc to access an otherwise regular desktop session? [07:01] Mahjongg, you don't need to do that. apt-get will resolve the dependency [07:01] quiescens, vnc instantly crashes after this [07:01] when i try to hibernate, my computer just switches off the screen, and locks the session. moving the mouse again brings it instantly back to the password prompt. What am i doing wrong? [07:01] Krishnaandu: i386, i586, i686 are part of Intel x86 microarchitecture where x stands for Pentium. Pentium 6 was done by Pentium Pro [07:01] quiescens, the desktop session is started when booting my ubuntu [07:01] when i try to hibernate, my computer just switches off the screen, and locks the session. moving the mouse again brings it instantly back to the password prompt. What am i doing wrong? [07:01] StrangeCharm, my laptop does that if I try to suspend with too low of a charge. Not sure how to fix it [07:02] quiescens, i do not connect to a session i logged in on the real computer [07:02] Krishnandu, but I do not know what versions exist other than the latest version... How can I see all [07:02] go to PHP's website [07:02] Krishnaandu:Where P5 is super scalar [07:03] pw-toxic: mm, this sort of thing probably doesn't apply then [07:03] does anyone here use a cell phone, with android? [07:03] Qwert, so what bout dual core, quad core, i series..?? [07:03] PDA of sorts... [07:04] pw-toxic: what vnc server? [07:04] quiescens, tightvncserver [07:04] Krishnaandu: You are mixing it. in i series we have i3 dual core, i5 quad core etc [07:05] I entered some terminal mode when I get '^X' instead of exiting nano. How do I get unstuck? [07:05] Krishnandu, PHP tells me 5.2.13 but apt-get install php5-5.2.13 does not work... [07:05] Mahjongg: apt-get search php [07:05] er Mahjongg apt-cache search php [07:05] Mahjongg, may be thats not yet stable and tested by ubuntu. Thats y it's not on repo. [07:05] Seven_Six_Two; thtat happens when you computer isnt setup to the hardware properly for sleeps and hibernation settings [07:06] Mahjongg, though you can use alpha/beta products by enabling backports [07:06] quiescens, oh it works with vncserver but not with tightvncserver [07:06] Gryllida, that does not list the versions [07:06] Krishnaandu: it means mutil core processor.. where pentium is actaully the processor, the die (integrated circuit) [07:06] Qwert, No I mean what does i386, i586 denotes..?? [07:06] So is there like a companion for droid ro soemthing? [07:06] or... just a sync? - [07:06] Krishnaandu: I told you about it [07:07] Qwert, I know about cores...But can't get what does all these i386, i586, i686 means..?? [07:07] Qwert, and which one should I use..?/ [07:07] pw-toxic: yeah, a bit of research seems to indicate its a tightvnc thingy, but I can't find any solid details [07:07] How do you get files to the pDA? I have connected my phone to ubuntu, and its not really recognized. I thin its there if i do a lsusb - but.. if anyone knows of a link.. guide.. webite... [07:07] after all these years, this is the first time i managed to boot linux up [07:07] quiescens, then i guess i just uns vnc [07:07] Krishnaandu: Intel released the Intel 386 (i386) in 1980. That was then followed by he 486 (i486), the Pentium (i586), and the Pentium 3/4 (i686) and AMD's Athlon/Duron/T-bird (also i686). [07:07] [07:07] anything that can prevent me from further talking to myself, and doing endlesss google searches that dont work. [07:07] SubCool, yeah. it started when I updated to 10.10, so I'll worry about it after the final [07:08] Qwert, ok..!! Got it now..!! But how are they related to distros..?? [07:08] Qwert, is that so i can't install i686 on Pentium..?? [07:08] Krishnandu: Why do you think it shoud'nt. [07:09] Krishnandu: Its getting offtopic for this channel. I guess [07:09] Krishnandu: Which pentium? [07:09] Ok- seriously? i just searched on the Ubuntu Beginners forum, for Beginners Android. NONE OF the results worked. [07:09] Krishnandu: You still didn't get i guess [07:09] Qwert, Coz distro's are distributed according to these...if I can install anyone on anywhere...then why these different classes..?? [07:09] i need 3 suggestions.. a good platform for programming, web development and office [07:09] A lot of news letters though. [07:10] Krishnandu: You cannot install anyone on anywhere [07:10] programming c++* [07:10] So if ANYONE is reading this and knows a n y t h i n g for droid.. it would be greatly apprectiated [07:10] hi ubuntu does not detect my soundcard conexant hd audio, lshw , aplay -l dont dispay it, please help [07:10] Krishnandu: i386, i486, i586, and i686 are all intel based and will work on the P4 [07:11] hey.. [07:11] Qwert, Ok...means these wont work on Intel Core 2 Duo or Quad Core series..?? [07:11] Krishnandu: may help you [07:11] SubCool: i just removed droid fonts [07:11] Krishnandu: Nothing like that.. that is the processing unit [07:11] nogo, what a droid font? for ubuntu? [07:12] I entered some terminal mode when I get '^X' instead of exiting nano. How do I get unstuck? [07:12] Qwert, So you mean these wont get installed in AMD..?? [07:12] Krishnandu: Hold on [07:12] Qwert, Bt I think these are 32 bit and can be installed on AMD [07:12] * Tryptych chuckles [07:12] Krishnandu: If there's the choice between i386, x86_64, and ppc. How to figure out which one you need, right? [07:13] Does anyone know how I would go about porting an audio vst plugin through to ubuntu so I can use it when I'm playing music? Thanks. [07:13] hey quick question. my databased got 'effed up and i had to do a restore, but my backup is a day old so i lost the recorded program data from the last day. [07:13] is there anyway to have myth scan the directory and add the mpg's back to the recorded program list, even if they are missing the program data? [07:13] SubCool, right click on your panel, and add applet "drive mounter" or similar [07:13] Krishnandu: What are you trying to install? [07:13] Qwert, right. And als if there are all i386, i586, i686 then also which one to choose. [07:13] Seven_Six_Two, haha i just started my vnc as root so i dont have to do gksudo anymore ;))) [07:13] is older versions of php5 kept in lucid repository or do I have to add other repositories for older versions of php5? [07:13] Qwert, Nothing. But I want to know these jargons..!! === mike_ is now known as Guest39490 [07:14] Krishnandu: i386 - If you have a Pentium or Celeron (meaning any Pentium or Celeron, including a Pentium 4, Pentium M, etc.) or the original Core Duo (not a Core 2 Duo) [07:14] Seven_Six_Two, nothing- [07:14] SubCool, "disk mounter". I searched "ubuntu sync android" in google and got about 530,000 results [07:14] Qwert, Ok...you mean i386 for upto Pentium series. [07:14] Krishnandu: you're overcomplicating things. all you need to look for is if its 64 bit or not. [07:14] Krishnandu: Pretty much same goes for x86 for x being 4,5,6 as i said [07:15] Krishnandu: x86_64 - If you have a Core 2 Duo, Core Solo, Opteron, Athlon 64, Turion 64, or Sempron. (This also includes the new "Intel Mac" machines.) [07:15] Seven_Six_Two, oh- i bet.. there are a bunch of bs threads Ya... [07:15] Qwert, Well..I know that..But what if I don't want to install 64bit...on Core 2 Duo or AMD proccys [07:15] Black Holes, Information and the String Theory Revolution by Leonard Susskind and James Lindsay [07:15] Seven_Six_Two, if any of them actualy have a guide, or basic info.. or well anything that walks or talks aperson into a new technooogy sure. but to read down a 100 peoples chat on what they THINKG about the stuff in stead of giving info? that there is none [07:16] Just simple back and forth chatter about something i know nothing about. [07:16] hi all is there any software that can copy text which are on applications window? [07:16] Krishnandu: ppc - This is power pc - Any modern Mac that's not an Intel Mac. [07:16] hi guys my ubuntu does not detect my soundcards [07:16] Seven_Six_Two, so just pretend all of them are in Vulcan or something- [07:16] Krishnandu: You won't be able to anyways [07:16] can you get "add to panel" window? I have "disk mounter" there, but I don't know where the panel applets are installed from [07:17] Seven_Six_Two, and from what i have searched, there really isnt a worry/need to sync it on ubuntu, because of some wireless interface? Got me- im not that far yet. I wanna connect it- add music.. and read abou tit. [07:17] Krishnandu: .. if yours is not 64 bit [07:17] SubCool, That's exactly how I learned. I read 95% garbage (but tried stuff) on forums and used irc. Most answers I've found on forums, but there's a lot of reading [07:17] Seven_Six_Two, ya, i thik my issue is the source.. i have an aweful time added plasma stuff- None of them are in any kinda name that fits them. [07:17] * Qwert There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence. - Jeremy S. Anderson [07:17] SubCool, you're in KDE? [07:18] Seven_Six_Two, ya, im like 30 dude, i have beend doin this since i was 13. Im done- i have had enough. Im pissed angry... just fed up [07:18] Seven_Six_Two, ya kde [07:18] oh sorry. I thought you were in gnome [07:18] does it show up in /dev ? [07:18] Reading through other peoples converstaions trying to get something out of it is the most stupid method of learning. i have fought it since i got into forums, but they havent changed what so every. [07:18] hi guys my ubuntu does not detect my soundcards [07:18] Seven_Six_Two, should it? [07:19] SubCool, yes. it should show up as a drive [07:19] just like a thumbdrive does [07:20] Seven_Six_Two, thats the thing, i dont get a pop or anything when its connected.. [07:20] i have like 50 things in /dev === Gryllida is now known as Guest38794 [07:20] SubCool, it might not be automounting. it will probably be /dev/sdb# or something. maybe /dev/sdc [07:21] hi guys my ubuntu does not detect my soundcards please help [07:21] Seven_Six_Two, i just ran lsusb, what would it be there? i dont see it... i dont think? [07:22] ls -l /dev | grep sd [07:22] i got a bunch of drives... [07:22] "sudo fdisk -l" to see all drives, if that's what you want. [07:22] what's the last one? [07:23] sdc, sdc1 [07:23] Hello?

Can anybody tell me how to fix this? http://pastebin.org/1140949 [07:24] SubCool: it should automount in GNOME, then [07:24] MasterofPuppets, a hammer [07:24] SubCool, do you know what filesystem is on the sd card? [07:24] Has anyone heard of any new legit games coming out for Linux? [07:24] andycc, kde [07:25] Seven_Six_Two, nope- lol. [07:25] SubCool: should automount in KDE too... [07:25] Also, Android uses FAT32 for the card IIRC [07:25] andycc, i have automoutn disabled i think... [07:25] SubCool: type in terminal [07:25] SubCool, sudo mkdir /media/android && sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /media/android [07:26] andycc, Seven_Six_Two i cant imagine it not using that. It has to go across all three platforms [07:26] Oh, too late again. [07:26] lol. FIRST! haha [07:26] k [07:27] unless I made a mistake on the mount syntax [07:27] guess i got lagged on that, i think a iran across that command in one of the threads, but it was for some weird issue.. [07:27] Nope, the syntax is OK. [07:27] SubCool: Interesting proposition [07:28] MasterofPuppets, i have one in my car im about to rip out, a lone with a nail gun. [07:28] such a bad bad day [07:28] along* [07:29] andycc, Seven_Six_Two i just reconnected my phone, but nothing. im still looking for a guide or soemthing. [07:30] SubCool: enable automount. Or connect your phone, THEN run Seven_Six_Two's command. [07:30] anyone have used IBM websphere application server? [07:31] !anyone > xiaoshen [07:31] xiaoshen, please see my private message [07:31] andycc, i had the phone connected before when i ran the command. nothing happen [07:31] SubCool: did you enable USB mass storage on your phone? Or does Android enable it automatically? [07:31] Heyd, which folder Lynx saves downloaded files by default? [07:31] sorry [07:32] SubCool: also, go to /media/android after that, don't expect KDE to give you a popup. [07:32] I have an issue with Compiz Fusion --- After about two hours after running it, it becomes extremely slow (To the point of like 1 frame per second) making it almost useless/unresponsive [07:32] The time seems random [07:32] does anyone have used IBM websphere application server? [07:32] bazhang.. [07:32] !repeat > xiaoshen [07:32] xiaoshen, please see my private message [07:32] Samual: Perhaps a driver memory leak. nvidia drivers? [07:32] andycc, lol- i thought so, but-- when i goto the directory, it bring me to my USB drive connected to the hub [07:33] which remind me i have to initiate a 64bit usb stick. [07:33] soreau, Indeed -- nVidia recommended drivers from the restricted hardware section [07:33] SubCool: Oh. Then why don [07:33] soreau, let me find the exact release though [07:33] *'t you run sudo fdisk -l with the droid plugged in. [07:33] is there a more usable system volume control to install? - the default one in 10.4 is really crappy. [07:33] hey peeps [07:33] um how do i figure out which GUI i am using on netbook remix? [07:33] Samual: nvidia drivers are notorious for their performance, bugs and memory leaks ;) [07:34] Samual, try running top in a console and use < and > to change which columns to sort by. look for what's using all the cpu [07:34] is it gnome kde or soemthing you guys made custom? [07:34] andycc, haha- just like u said before [07:34] its all pretty but i need to make some keyboard shotcuts [07:34] Seven_Six_Two, i've already watched it with htop a lot -- Nothing changes [07:34] SubCool: fdisk -l is more detailed than ls /dev/ | grep sd [07:34] No changes in RAM or CPU usage.... [07:34] Eryn_1983_FL, do you have a panel on the left side? [07:34] andycc, it only shows my two usb drives.. [07:34] soreau, yup, i'm aware of that :P Any ideas? [07:34] jus the top [07:34] one tool bar [07:35] with the startmenue etc [07:35] menu [07:35] !ohmy [07:35] Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [07:35] *other* than switching to ATI cards, preferably. [07:35] SubCool: then your droid isn't in mass storage mode or the USB cable is really messed up. [07:35] Samual, lol [07:35] Reminder alone. Not specific. [07:35] Hey guys, trying to run some commands. Can anybody tell me how to fix this? http://pastebin.org/1140949 [07:35] Eryn_1983_FL, what are your menus labeled? applications places system or K [07:35] Samual, if you think you're having it bad with nVidia then do not switch to ati [07:35] Samual: switch to an intel card. [07:35] Samual: Use latest nouveau bits and start helping the nouveau developers support your card. Or, try a bunch of different versions of nvidia's blob === VanDyke__ is now known as VanDyke [07:36] favorites files and folder accesoriies [07:36] Eryn_1983_FL, please don't use the enter key as punctuation === Freejack is now known as Freejack` [07:36] it does goes to the left side... [07:36] when i click the menu [07:36] !enter | Eryn_1983_FL [07:36] Eryn_1983_FL: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:36] soreau, i'll probably go with the nvidia driver testing FIRST, then maybe that :P -- I am a programmer afterall.. and I have a friend who has contributed to nouveau [07:37] so is it gnome or kde? [07:37] Eryn_1983_FL: is it blue or brown? [07:37] clear and purple [07:37] Eryn_1983_FL: it's gnome. [07:37] its what ever the latest verion of netbook uses default [07:37] GNOME, then [07:38] Eryn_1983_FL, UNR is its own desktop [07:38] Eryn_1983_FL: So, what are you exactly trying to do? Just find out what it is? [07:38] clear [07:39] Seven_Six_Two: no, it's just GNOME with the UNR launcher. [07:39] that so i can setup keyboard shortcuts etc and maybe get some funcion keys working in the long run [07:39] Eryn_1983_FL: look your netbook up on Google. [07:40] andycc, Unity is Gnome? [07:40] there is an error when i open up the shortcuts icon in the system folder [07:40] Seven_Six_Two: yes, as far as I know Unity is GNOME with that fancy launcher written in Clutter. [07:40] s/launcher/dock/whatever [07:41] something about Dbus and another system tool getting in the way [07:41] Eryn_1983_FL: you're not using Maverick, are you? [07:41] whats that andycc ? [07:42] Eryn_1983_FL: type "/exec -o lsb_release -r" here (in IRC), without the quotes. [07:42] Eryn_1983_FL: unless you're using webchat. [07:43] andycc, got it- it was my usb hub. [07:43] andycc: that is not going to work tunneled in to home on several remote servers... [07:43] SubCool: glad to hear that. [07:43] ... [07:44] elease:10.04 [07:44] that helpp> [07:44] Eryn_1983_FL: so you're not using Maverick. [07:44] ok [07:45] oh ok now i understand [07:46] hjk [07:46] andycc, I see. http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/383 they're not the same, but are like siblings [07:46] has anybody worked with HandBrakeCLI before and tried to embed a subtitle? [07:46] kk [07:46] andycc, ya, fun right? thanks!! i still havent found a beginners guide really though, [07:47] I'm using maverick. it's 50 flavours of awesome [07:47] Kartagis, isn't handbrake for mac? I use devede [07:47] Looking at Maverick's new features reminded me, I need to get rid of Thunderbird. [07:47] Seven_Six_Two it has a linux version too [07:48] Kartagis, I didn't know that. devede may still do what you need. it's a nice interface [07:48] How do I keep updstart from starting the sshd? [07:49] try out this theme ... its really awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [07:49] http://alecive.deviantart.com/art/A-New-Start-June-2010-1-1-169100684 [07:49] Seven_Six_Two can you encode to mp4 with devede and does it have a CLI? [07:49] Kartagis, no devede is gui only [07:50] Kartagis, If you need cli then I would suggest handbrake or ffmpeg [07:51] anybody expert with NDP (neighbor discovery) for ipv6? [07:51] Kartagis, Its a frontend for ffmpeg or mencoder [07:51] and I can encode to mp4 [07:52] Paddy_NI I can work with HandBrakeCLI perfectly, except I'm having trouble with embedding subtitle [07:52] sorry. *it can encode to mp4 or anything that the backend can do. [07:52] Kartagis, Ah I would suggest the handbrake forums or possibly the ubuntu forums for that one [07:53] can i have latest ubuntu [07:53] desktop and server [07:54] OperaKennel, sure you can. Stable or unstable? [07:54] guy where can i request to have ubuntu copy [07:54] stable... [07:54] you can download a cd image and burn it to a disc. [07:54] how about ship it [07:55] or you can go to distrowatch.org and pick one of the vendors. I don't know. is shipit still going? I thought I read that it was ending? [07:55] they say that i will be eligible once i join in this room [07:55] OperaKennel, you have to create an account and you can do it! [07:55] OperaKennel, afaik you don't need to join this room to get a cd. [07:56] sorry rockhopper... [07:56] maybe you need a launchpad.net account? [07:56] !shippit | openvpn2009 [07:56] Hmm, i get a message. Your CPU seems to be lacking expected security expectations. Please run /usr/bin/check-bios-nx --verbose for more info. It tells me that my CPU supports LX protection and tells me to enable it. There is no option in my BIOS to enable it OR disable it. How can i remove that message or how can i enable it however. [07:56] https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ [07:56] i am also ubuntu enthusiast [07:56] go to that site OperaKennel [07:56] thanks rockhopper === ServerTech|Lapto is now known as ServerTechLaptop [07:57] I'm trying to install the 10.10 beta. It's failing to install the bootloader. I'm installing ubuntu on a new 100GB partition on sda5. [07:57] !shipit | OperaKennel [07:57] OperaKennel: Shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu and Kubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org - Shipit will send !Lucid (10.04) CDs [07:57] whereami: #ubuntu+1 for 10.10 [07:57] k, thanks [07:57] whats the diff between the sun-java6* and the openjdk packages for running/developing jar files. [07:57] whereami, is there another os installed? [07:58] Eitherway, thanks a lot andycc and Seveas [07:58] Seven_Six_Two, [07:58] well i dont really mean for development, i guess mostly normal use [07:58] Seven_Six_Two, yes, Win 7 (I feel shame, I haven't used windows in like 5 years) [07:58] np [07:58] it seems that HandBrakeCLI doesn't burn .srt files INTO the mp4 file [07:58] whereami, where are you trying to install the bootloader? [07:59] rockhopper it says that i am not eligible to receive new release from shippit since i already receive CD [07:59] Seven_Six_Two, MBR (/dev/sda) [07:59] OperaKennel, Have you applied already? [07:59] 3 years ago... [08:00] i think i receive too much from shippit [08:00] OperaKennel, oh, then you'll have to mail them about the problem. [08:00] idite na huy [08:01] hi, can someone tell me, how I can persist my network settings i have done via ip and ifconfig? [08:01] thank you for the enlightment [08:01] whereami, does your bios write-protect the mbr? [08:03] Seven_Six_Two, I've never heard of such a thing... I guess I should check that. Is that something Dell does to their systems? === mike is now known as Guest70602 [08:05] whereami, that's just a guess, but I know the bios can protect some parts. and if anyone does it, it's Dell. or Gateway. [08:05] in windows I use sumatra as a pdf reader and I'm very happy with it. what is good for ubuntu? [08:06] I upgraded ubuntu to 10.10, now launching ubuntu-kernel.35 only brings a terminal screen. Could someone help? [08:06] hey, I need help with a startup script for my server [08:06] I read all tutorials I could find and it still doesn't work [08:06] th3hate: #ubuntu+1 for 10.10 [08:07] can somebody please help me debug this problem? The startup script works fine on it's own... [08:07] tripelb: Ubuntu comes with Evince, it can read several formats besides just PDF. [08:07] I do not think that the bios has a setting to "protect" the MBR. Every OS installer writes the MBR. So do some viruses. [08:07] !find srtutil [08:07] Package/file srtutil does not exist in lucid [08:07] tensorpudding, well then why does clicking on a pdf ask me to download Adome Reader? [08:07] guys my sound is not working... [08:08] tripelb: Where are you clicking on this PDF? [08:08] any help regarding sound devices [08:09] tripelb: I'm pretty sure that Firefox will open PDF's in Evince by default, I'm not 100% sure though. [08:10] tensorpudding, are yo a physicist? (Just spent an hour on a Feynman video - consumer level, lol) but I've got a firm science background and have this personal expression for a certain idea I call "Godpudding" (it's all one). Thought you might be thinking in similar lines. --- I'll get you the link. I use chrome. [08:10] tensorpudding, could this webpage have restricted me to Adome? http://www.scriptorpress.com/cenacle/73-74.html [08:10] #batangas [08:11] andycc, could u help me associate firefox with Dolphin for viewing of folders... ? Please? im ready to destroy this machine. [08:11] how can I debug a startup script in ubuntu? [08:11] do I just have to hope it works? === Qwert is now known as qwert [08:11] SubCool: sorry, I tried to do that once, but failed. [08:11] because it doesn't work, case closed, or what? [08:11] tensorpudding, I dont see Evince in Internet or in Office (under Applications) [08:11] tripelb: That's different, the file almost surely will open in Evince after you download it. It's just saying you need Adobe REader because on Windows there isn't a PDF reader included. [08:11] Hmm, i get a message. Your CPU seems to be lacking expected security expectations. Please run /usr/bin/check-bios-nx --verbose for more info. It tells me that my CPU supports LX protection and tells me to enable it. There is no option in my BIOS to enable it OR disable it. How can i remove that message or how can i enable it however. [08:11] SubCool: also, I'm getting late for school. [08:12] tensorpudding, what happens when you click on it? [08:12] tripelb: It begins downloading the file. [08:12] andycc, ah sorry, thought u might know. I know its a stupid request. I mean firefox.. started with linux so long ago- the only thign that has chaged is dolphin instead of nautilis .... You woudl THINK IT WOULD WORK BY NOW [08:12] tripelb: Are you clicking on the link with Adobe REader, or the picture? You should click the picture. [08:13] tripelb: also it is normally called Document Viewer in the menus, but the program's actual name is evince. [08:13] it's kinda spotty on that, annoyingly. [08:14] calling it Document Viewer some places, Evince in others [08:14] I'm using lucid liveusb, and at somepoint accidentally chose to install nvidia drivers. point is it wants to update the initramfs but can't because it can't make the changes to the read only filesystem... everytime i install other packages it wants to keep trying to install initramfs again... how to tell it not to keep trying ? [08:14] tensorpudding, Yea, I figured it out the wrong link. Yep "Document Viewer Using poppler/cairo (0.12.4) -- by the authors of evince. - as you said. [08:14] Anyone think of a reason dwm would heat up my lappy a bit more than openbox or musca? Can't figure it. [08:15] tensorpudding, attracted by the green print, lol. And your name, can you tell me what it means. PM is ok if not here. [08:15] how do i get ubuntu to start normally instead of bringing a terminal screen with Desktop Login: [08:17] can anyone here recommend a good hierarchical outline editor? [08:17] hi .. i am trying to setup a network gateway using a ubuntu server .. but i am unable to share internte without squid proxy .. i have added ip_forward in sysctl but the computers across a different router are not able to see it.. [08:17] by which i mean something like OOo's hierarchical bulleting... except good [08:18] How do I recursively use find to locate every file called something.php and open them up with gedit ? [08:18] red try *.php [08:19] I don't think you can recursively open em. [08:19] red: find dir_to_search_in -name "*.php" -exec gedit {} \; [08:19] er, that'll probably wait until you close gedit each time [08:19] i'm not sure whether find waits for its children to finish [08:20] lets see [08:20] it would be cool to be able to [08:20] ubuntu does not detect my soundcards please help [08:20] actually, this might work, alternatively: find dir -name "*.php" | xargs gedit [08:21] (that may break if there are spaces in your filenames) [08:21] hehe, i have a compiz effect on for when I press backspace or something too many times and instead of a pc beep the window will wobble a bit [08:21] that first command made it so my terminal is wobbling furiously :D [08:21] haha [08:21] well, that's better than your speakers screaming at you [08:21] ye [08:22] people at work looking me like a madman when i bursted into laugh [08:22] lets try xargs [08:23] well, here's what i just did, which has crashed gedit [08:23] (so presumably it worked) [08:23] i actually use geany and not gedit, brainfart, worth a test [08:23] find dir -name "*.php" -print0 | xargs -0 gedit [08:23] xargs isnt opening anything it seems [08:23] ill try that [08:23] the -print0 and -0 deal with spaces nicely [08:23] the first command opened like 200 odd random files to geany =) [08:24] (uses null characters as separators instead of spaces) [08:24] kay [08:24] Hi. I have a ubuntu machine with no internet access. How can I update/upgrade the machine using a usb thumbdrive? I don't want to burn cds [08:25] samfisher: where do you suppose you'll get the updates from? [08:26] tensorpudding: from another machine, with internet access [08:26] i'm having trouble changing folder permissions for a mounted drive. sudo chown myuser.mygroup on that path does nothing [08:27] same thing using folder permissions from gnome [08:27] eusto: i've bumped into that problem myself, pretty annoying [08:27] red: have you found a fix for it? [08:27] eusto: how did you mount it? [08:27] samfisher: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware#Installing packages without an Internet connection [08:28] RyanT5000: not really sure. it's an external disk that was connected to the computer when i've installed ubuntu and was mounted by default [08:28] find . -name "tuner.php" -print0 | xargs -0 geany // nothing seems to be opening up, thought im running the command on a folder that is a sshfs mount of our dev server so traversing the paths could be slow [08:28] can you tell me where to look? [08:28] red: you could redirect into a file, wait for that to finish, then redirect the file into xargs [08:29] red: then you'd know when find had finished [08:29] hello [08:29] somebody knows how to show a specific partition in conky? [08:29] eusto: well, you could look in /etc/fstab; if the mountpoint and drive are listed there, that's probably how it's getting mounted [08:29] ryant5000: tested it in a subfolder, which has more subfolders and one of them has the tuner.php [08:29] it worked [08:29] so guess I'll just go put some coffee into the machine and take a smoke :) [08:29] red: cool; it may just be too many files [08:30] it should open them all up eventually, right? [08:30] red: or crash :P [08:30] given no crash [08:30] eusto: i'm not actually sure how to look up the options with which a filesystem was mounted [08:30] no verbose so dunno what its doing [08:30] seems to be working and running still tho [08:31] eusto: output of "mount" will show options in use [08:31] RyanT5000: it's not in /etc/fstab. Everytime i reboot, there's a shortcut to it on the desktop and it gets mounted first time i click it [08:31] eusto: what does the output of your mount command (thanks thune3) show? [08:31] thune3: /dev/sdb1 on /media/My Book type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions) [08:31] hi [08:33] Somebody knows how to show a specific partition in conky? in my case.. /home? [08:33] how do I apt pin a ppa repo in debian? [08:33] eusto: it looks like that's an NTFS disk; unfortunately, i don't really know anything about how permissions work with NTFS on Linux [08:33] oops not the debian channel [08:34] hi... i installed enigmail/openPGP in thunderbird... but the pictures in mail werent displaying... so i uninstalled it... still the pictures arent showing up...can anyone pls help me with this?

See also !screen [08:36] if you want GUI use xchat [08:36] ohh nice, where i can find it? [08:36] Paddy_NI: dangit, I'm using irssi now too... I meant ircle [08:36] *shame* === nosrepa is now known as aperson [08:39] Doyle its this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/en/? [08:39] Doyle thks very much!

[08:44] hi, i'm in an odd situation. so, i'm on the live cd and i need to set up grub on a partition on the harddisk, not just on /sda, but on /sda3 because that's linux and there are other os's on the disk. I'm trying to follow http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 but the find command he states doesn't work. on /dev/sda3 there is a /boot/grub/stage1. could i just skip to do 'setup (hd0,3)'? or are grubs partitions differently numbered? [08:44] how can i install the ubuntu 10.04 LST server edition [08:44] doesn't work as it says error 15 file not found [08:44] sd-d: put in the cd and boot? [08:45] sd-d: can you be more specific?

[08:51] any web-proxy accessable on port 53? [08:51] Google Chrome tracks you [08:51] so does Opera [08:51] http://www.opera.com/privacy/ads/ [08:51] goddard, then I suggest stick with Midori or Firefox [08:52] how do I set a password with only 5 digits? how do I force the system? [08:52] Firefox is legit about being just a web browser? [08:52] goddard: firefox with adblock plus and beeftaco [08:52] alexxio, statically linkes means, the needed libs are already integrated in the package and are loaded in every case, even if an identical lib is already loaded. pros: a bit faster and no dependencies. cons: uses a little bit more ram [08:52] Then how do they stick around? [08:52] Mozilla has to make money some how [08:52] any can toled me how to i install 10.04 LST server edition within windows [08:52] goddard, you can configure chromium not to collect and send data to google [08:53] goddard, they adopted the Free and Open Source business model [08:53] goddard, thats done with a few clicks.. [08:53] ppq sadly they still track extra things [08:54] I just want a web browser no life changing experience [08:54] goddard, for chrome, this is true. but for the chromium in the ubuntu repos not [08:54] goddard, try Midori then [08:54] !wubi | sd-d [08:54] sd-d: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [08:54] ppq really? [08:54] goddard, wait a sec, there is a site where this is explained [08:55] to bad about Opera I really liked the interface [08:55] hi all. is there a way to start an "instance" of wine at startup? [08:56] im not sure what i did but now guake is starting 2 times at the startup. is there a way to trace what is launcing it? [08:56] goddard, well, it's german, but you can try to translate it via google (:D) http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Chromium#Datenschutz-und-Privatsphaere [08:56] I play Warcraft III and everytime I start the executable it takes a while [08:56] But the second time i start it after I quit the first time it is really fast [08:56] ppq I am not using Google any more to much bad stuff going on [08:56] :D [08:57] i want to be able to preload an "instance" of wine but I don't know how or even know if its possible [08:57] chuche, "preload" loads libraries when booting up, basing on using statistics [08:57] Besides no one company should be that powerful honestly [08:57] ppq: the skype static link is that on the website? or where can i find it? and how to install it? [08:57] chuche, just install the package 'preload' and ou're done - no conf needed [08:57] ppq, thank you :) [08:57] Opera must use WebKit as well because this seems similar [08:58] how do I force GNOME Users and Groups to allow setting a password that's only 5 digits? [08:58] chuche: Firefox does much network activity unrequested, in the default configuration [08:58] goddard, thats a good attitude :) unfortunately i cant life without their services. do you know googlesharing? it's a poxy based anonymization service that can also be used with chromium, with the add on "proxy switchy" [08:58] gp5st: What version of Ubuntu, and are you sure you need to install the bootloader to a partition? Grub should be able to boot all your various operating systems, and installing to a partition requires blocklists which are unreliable. [08:58] 'cause I changed my password from 5 digits to a longer one. now, I can't start my GNOME session because of permission problems. I just want to revert to my old password [08:58] alexxio: need voice chat? you can also use XMPP with pidgin or SIP with ekiga [08:58] edakiri, that's why I suggested Firefox with Adblock [08:58] alexxio, yes, the version on the skype website (.deb) is the statical one [08:58] chuche: it still does, even with adblock [08:59] chuche: i will get you a good link [08:59] ppq: thanks [08:59] edakiri, oh? thx for the links [08:59] alexxio, i think there also is a repo containing the statical version, i'll look [08:59] ppq that doesn't help because Google still knows [09:00] edaikiri: i-d like to try those programs but actually i-m just installing ubuntu on an old pc to make my old uncle chat with his relatives in the world and they have skype too :) [09:00] ppq I was using all Google services but I think I am going to spread it out a bit from now on Google rubbed me the wrong way with the news I've been hearing [09:01] goddard, what news is that? can i get a link? [09:01] chuche, goddard: here are documented (all or most of ) the many hoops you must jump through to configure firefox to not do unrequested network activity: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+makes+unrequested+connections I don't know that microsummaries (a.k.a. Live _____ ) are completely documented. [09:01] goddard, i tried to avoid google for a time, too.. used scroogle instead etc. but its just not the same [09:02] chuche there is tons go search bing or yahoo or dogpile even [09:02] will this set ufw to deny all traffic except on port 8000, or is that too many commands to chain like that? [09:02] goddar, oh... old news to me :) i thought it was something new/recent [09:02] cant find subprogram 'ar' ... what is it? :P [09:03] Can anyone help me connect to net via bluetooth mobile? [09:03] chuche no unless you didn't hear the plan with android and that wireless plan [09:03] Jordan_U: it's my guess. It's a mac pro using efi. I um have efi seeing the partition (as a legacy os, not as linux, which bothers me) and when I go to that partition toboot it says "os not found" I'm running 10.04 (upgraded continuously since like 8.x). I had a disk almost fail, so i reinstalled mac os to another disk (so that i could set up refit to allow me to boot other OS's and have an efi shell. Then I just copied all the files over and set === llutz_ is now known as llutz [09:03] goddard: I think google is better (ethically) than yahoo or bing [09:04] I notice I'm getting very off-topic [09:04] edakiri people have used yahoo for years and bing atleast you know what your getting when you mess with Microsoft.....Google is doing all new crazy stuff and messing with Net Nuetraility is not right [09:04] gp5st: You should install to the mbr, but only grub2. I'm not sure if grub legacy deals with GPT properly, but I know grub2 does. === inovaspa is now known as lorenzom [09:05] goddard, i have no choice but to recommend Midori then. It is based on WebKit and AFAIK won't make any unrequested connections to the internet [09:05] gp5st: Follow this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [09:05] chuche its already downloaded and being tested seems similar to Opera and Chrome [09:05] Jordan_U: thanks. how do i not find these links:( [09:05] chuche thats nice...I assume it still has the network keep alive features? === inovaspa is now known as lorenzom [09:06] gp5st: If you can, you should also create a BIOS boot partition http://grub.enbug.org/BIOS_Boot_Partition (but head the warning at the bottom of the page). [09:06] goddard, AFAIK only the Update Software app can update Midori [09:06] Could someone check the error i get when i boot ubuntu: http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/3453/20100924002.jpg [09:06] s/head/heed/ [09:07] tanks Jordan_U i'll see what i can do with this now [09:07] gp5st: You're welcome. [09:07] thanks* :) [09:08] Jordan_U, you don't happen to be the thisweekinlinux guy over at YouTube right? [09:08] chuche on a lot of servers in the protocol they have a web keep alive features because it supposedly speeds things up....I don't understand it myself seems stupid to maintain 100 pings for people who left their computer while a web browser was open [09:08] chuche: No. [09:09] i wish this server room's ac wouldn't blow right on me:( [09:09] watch the network it will keep running for hours sending pings [09:09] goddard, that also depends on what site you are on and if it has ads or not [09:10] can i adjust my cpu fan speed? === Gugu is now known as Gurty` [09:10] goddard, i go on my Google Voice account and it has to send pings occasionally to keep refreshing my inbox [09:11] goddard, most social networking sites have ads, banners, etc. even Phoronix, Linux.com, slashdot, pretty much everything nowadays [09:11] any web-proxy accessable on port 53? [09:13] any web-proxy accessable on port 53? [09:13] Hello! [09:14] Is there anyone out there willing to help this poor sap get his secondary monitor working properly with the nvidia drivers in 10.04? It won't find the proper resolution or frequency, yet before I had the drivers installed, everything was working reasonably well. [09:14] ppq: actually the deb files i download is opened (with double click) with archive extractor, it seems i miss some package to install it [09:15] i-m under lxde [09:15] It also has no problem with my primary, identical monitor [09:16] i have linux-running NAS that serves as a wifi router - could anyone recommend a tool for monitoring bandwidth consumption by specific computers in the local network? [09:16] JOIN /BLENDER [09:16] OOPS [09:16] join #blender [09:16] dangitness [09:16] ugliefrog: never chat when you are drunk [09:16] :P [09:17] How do i find my current local ip? [09:17] ServerTech|Lapto, ifconfig [09:17] ServerTech|Lapto: read the result of ifconfig [09:17] k [09:17] ImaginaryFriend, Lol...sad thing is , im nott :) [09:17] any web-proxy accessable on port 53? [09:17] Anyone know how to set custom resolutions/modes/whatever for a secondary monitor with the latest nvidia drivers? [09:18] Lapsus: im not sure but try Ubuntu Tweak [09:18] I cant see the network manager icon on the top panel... Why? [09:19] Is there a channel for openDNS? [09:20] try /list open [09:21] anyone to recommend a tool for monitoring bandwidth consumption by specific computers in local network from debian router? [09:21] ImaginaryFriend: I can't seem to find anything remotely related to resolution settings in there [09:21] ibizatryx: Not working [09:21] any web-proxy accessable on port 53? [09:21] I just need my second display at 1600x1200@75Hz instead of whatever the hell the nvidia driver thinks it's doing [09:22] Lapsus: Whas the issue? [09:22] i'm having trouble with my wireless connection. the network manager says i am connected, "ifconfig" shows i have obtained an IP address, "route -n" shows the default gateway is correct, but i can't ping any IPs (all hosts are unreachable). any idea? [09:22] Lapsus: k [09:22] Qwert: dual monitors working fine with a clean install, nvidia drivers can't comprehend two monitors at 1600x1200 [09:23] Lapsus: do you have nvidia-settings? [09:23] Lapsus: Are you on laptop or desktop? [09:23] vu1kan: that's what I'm trying to use, yes. [09:23] Qwert: Desktop [09:23] Lapsus: Whats the problem in using nvidia-settings? [09:24] any web-proxy accessable on port 53? [09:24] Hello :) how in ubuntu server restart inet that will use new file from /etc/init ? [09:24] hetii, sudo /etc/init.d networking restart [09:24] networkings ?? [09:24] Qwert: It can't seem to tell what my second monitor is, and won't offer the right resolution or frequency for it, yet it has detected and is happily using my other, identical monitor as the main display [09:25] hetii, like i wrote [09:25] what networking has to do to inet process ? [09:25] raven: are you italian? [09:25] why? [09:26] raven: answer [09:26] :) [09:26] Qwert: leaving it on auto gets me 1360x768@60Hz, it's listed as CRT-1, instead of SUN, like my other display [09:26] reading how you typed, i just was wondering if you were italian, i-m italian .. [09:27] hetii: sudi service (name) restart [09:27] ... [09:27] hetii: sudo service (name) restart [09:27] Qwert: Should I repeat that? :p [09:28] Lapsus: No, sorry. I was out. I'll scroll and see [09:28] why? [09:28] any web-proxy accessable on port 53? [09:28] Qwert: No worries [09:28] inet/inetd/init: unrecognized service [09:28] :/ [09:29] in theory I could somehow remove the nvidia drivers, but I'd prefer not to >.> [09:29] the most asked question i think in this channel!!! how to tell dpkg /i to install all dependencies?? [09:29] hetii: what are you trying to do? [09:30] hetii: do you actually have an inetd running? [09:30] i add new config file to path: /etc/init/ to respawn one of my critical daemon (its handled by screen session) [09:31] so if this daemon will die the screen will die also and system should start it again [09:32] i dont know if its handled by inetd or upstart or whatever but as i see i had other configuration file on /etc/init so there is some process that use them [09:32] if you've added a file to /etc/init and want to start it without rebooting or waiting for a runlevel change you'll have to do sudo service (name of your new service) start [09:32] Lapsus: can you manually set the resolution you want using ? [09:32] ahh :) [09:32] so simple :) [09:32] wow [09:32] I'll give it a try vu1kan [09:32] Lapsus: check the man page [09:33] even simpler: sudo start , sudo stop , .... [09:33] but something goes wrong i had now a lot of screen session [09:33] hello room [09:33] any1 here know where I can find a android development chat room???? [09:33] okay, apparently I need to use a seperate x creen for that [09:34] any web-proxy accessable on port 53? [09:34] how would I go about restarting x? :p [09:34] Jordan_U: thanks, with a little googling I think I got it all working [09:34] th3hate, hey [09:34] johnx, yo [09:35] exited nano [09:35] so next thing: cd /etc/X11 [09:35] ls [09:35] tell me if there is anything there that looks like a backed up version of an xorg.conf file [09:35] like xorg.conf.dpkg-old or something like that [09:36] gp5st: You're welcome. [09:36] xorg.cong.dist-upgrade-201092......... [09:36] is that the date you upgraded? [09:36] yea to 10.10 [09:36] 24/9 [09:36] today [09:37] and you're positive that xorg.conf is empty? because if you accidentally typed the wrong file name it would give you a blank file as well [09:37] can you give me the nano command again [09:37] sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:38] johnx, no its not empty by bad.. [09:38] my* [09:38] no worries [09:38] that's why I double checked :D [09:38] driver "nvidia" [09:38] edit this? [09:38] find it, replace nvidia with nv [09:38] yes [09:38] how to make setxkbmap permanent? [09:39] how to save? [09:39] alexxio: that's one thing i'd like to know as well.. [09:39] vega: ^^ [09:39] johnx, how to save nano? [09:39] th3hate, ctrl+x [09:39] th3hate: ctrl-x should prompt to save [09:39] it will ask you to save [09:39] alexxio: i have finnish selected *everywhere*, /etc/default/console, gnome, ... but still have to do "setxkbmap fi" manually after every login/boot [09:40] pressed Y and saved [09:40] great [09:40] sudo restart gdm [09:40] Q: if i had new service config file and run some process that print his message on standard output is there some place where this is redirect by service daemon ? [09:40] johnx, X finally worked!! [09:40] hi there [09:41] Qwert: hi ry thr [09:41] johnx, i finally got my gui back thanks :P [09:41] I should add the USB boot support to my GRUB anybody knows how to help me? [09:41] th3hate, hot sauce. next part is to get the nvidia driver setup properly so you have 3D and stuff [09:41] hetii: don't know, but it should be documented somewhere in upstart docs.. try upstart.ubuntu.com [09:41] can i adjust my cpu fan speed? [09:41] johnx, download from nvidia.com? [09:41] th3hate, hit administration -> additional drivers [09:41] k [09:42] I should add the USB boot support to my GRUB anybody knows how to help me? [09:42] johnx, it's searching [09:42] it should offer you "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current)" [09:42] ljsoftnet: you mean by software means? if it's connected with 3-pin connector then there's a chane.. [09:42] choose that, hit install [09:42] chance [09:42] johnx, yep (version current) (recommeneded) [09:43] great, and it's not marked as currently installed, right? [09:43] johnx, it says this driver is not activated [09:43] activate it? [09:43] yup [09:43] johnx, downloading and installing [09:43] missing that driver was the whole problem. it will grab the driver and fix your xorg.conf file :) [09:44] johnx, what caused this problem in the first place? [09:44] vega_ yeah by software, yes it has a 3-pin connector [09:45] th3hate, dunno exactly. between 10.04 and 10.10 it looks like the nvidia driver changed quite a bit and for some reason the new one wasn't automatically downloaded and installed during the upgraded process [09:46] ljsoftnet: then keywords would be lm-sensors, fancontrol, thinkfan, ... [09:46] just want to say, im really tempted to test out the new 10.10 [09:46] lol [09:46] Xano, have an nvidia card? :D [09:46] haha yes, unfortunately [09:46] and perhaps google: "ubuntu control fan speed" [09:46] Hey ANYBODY knows how to add the USB support to GRUB? [09:46] !ubuntu+1 [09:46] Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10 - Maverick is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 [09:46] 310M [09:47] Xano, works fine. switch to the nv driver before upgraded, and switch back to the nvidia driver after upgrade. :) [09:47] 310M isnt fully supported yet anyways from what ive seen [09:47] remember, this channel is for the support of the officially released version :-) [09:47] is there a discussion channel, so i dont flood this one with fun stuff? [09:47] !ot [09:47] #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! [09:47] :) thanks [09:47] Xano, #ubuntu-offtopic [09:48] ubottu, sorry, didn't know the rules. I'll pickup camp and move [09:48] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:48] #ubuntu+1 is for maverick [09:48] ah, it was there already.. [09:49] Cannot join #ubuntu-offtopic (You are banned) , oops why? never entered it before [09:49] th3hate, anyways, catch me back on #maemo or #ubuntu+1 if things don't work [09:49] johnx, thanks for help [09:49] Qwert: hello ru thr [09:49] ashok_shetty: Ya.. [09:50] Qwert: ya tell me how to install now dear [09:50] ashok_shetty: Self service on keylogger. [09:51] \join #satchmo [09:51] ashok_shetty: imho, you should try it by yourself [09:51] Qwert: k wil try [09:51] Tribaal: [09:51] Yeah sorry [09:52] No problem [09:54] how do i use thinkfan? [09:54] hello, can I ask kubuntu questions here as well? [09:55] #kubuntu would work for that, IIVQ [09:55] myrtii: that channel is neigh dead [09:55] IIVQ: patience is a virtue, we're all volunteers [09:55] I know myrtti [09:56] <|2exx> hi all [09:56] IIVQ, as long as you are sure that it is not KDE / kubuntu specific question, you could try us [09:56] I don't know whether it's KDE-kubuntu-specific [09:56] @vega_ how do i use thinkfan? [09:56] IIVQ: ask, we'll see [09:56] what happened is I seem to have lost the WM [09:56] symptoms: no window borders/titles [09:57] IIVQ, that's KDE specific. but you could try restart kwin [09:57] keyboard stays on the last opened window (thought I can do mouse actions in others) [09:57] ok [09:57] Hi - trying to install Broadcom BCM4306 wifi drivers on a dell lattitude D600- using Ubuntu 10.04 livecd. Followed the bcm43xx instructions, but no driver is listed after I install bcmwl-kernel-source. Any advice appreciated (not a linux expert) [09:57] IIVQ: worst case, you could reinstall the KDE packages [09:57] could you give me any tips on how I could get into something terminalish? [09:58] as alt-f2 doesn [09:58] 't work [09:58] and ctral-alt-fX never has worked for me [09:58] Xano, reinstalling usually isn't the way to fix issue on Linux or Unix-like OS though [09:58] IIVQ, i think you could still right click on desktop and run terminal [09:58] <|2exx> @broadcom_tom I think you can edit your wlan0 with ifconfig [09:58] no, but on a strange situation like that, it could be corruption of the code [09:59] Xano, or bad config/ kwin crash :) [09:59] true, which is why i said worst case ;) [09:59] ah I have alt-f2 [09:59] hi @ all [09:59] but it was hiding [09:59] but [09:59] I still can't type in it [10:00] broadcom_tom: try removing bcmwl-kernel-source and install b43-fwcutter, it will install the legacy firmware for the driver which is built in to the kernel [10:00] @|2exx ifconfig says no wireless adaptor present [10:00] IIVQ, can you right click on desktop and run terminal? [10:00] icarus: no, I can do run command [10:00] @iflema what commands do I need to do that please? [10:00] IIVQ, run command [10:01] btw: I do have a "start bar" (don't knwo what it's called in linux) and normal desktop background [10:01] so, now i have this issue where if i boot off the live cd, run grub-install on my partition and reboot it all works and i can boot that partition, but when i restart the machine, i can no longer boot the parition [10:01] but if I do run command, I can't actually type in that window [10:01] it's as if the last window stole keyboard focus [10:01] how do i use thinkfan to set my cpu fan speed to low? [10:01] but I don't know which is that last window [10:01] i'm searching a database-management-tool which can connect via ssh-tunnel to my webservers mysql database, does anyone knows such a tool? [10:02] IIVQ, anyway, does logout/in make things work again? [10:02] icarus: no [10:02] have tried that, thx [10:02] tried a full reboot even [10:02] but [10:02] i can try rebooting now that only terminal is open [10:02] broadcom_tom: the removal and b43-fwcutter oinstall can be done intthe synaptic package manager or in a terminal sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source followed by sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [10:03] IIVQ, could you try to run kwin in terminal? [10:03] broadcom_tom: it the computer in question on the Internet? [10:03] <|2exx> Does anyone here have an Android device? [10:03] IIVQ, maybe switch to tty and run "DISPLAY=:0 kwin" ? [10:03] icarus-c, yeah, I'm trying to reboot to see if I can actually get to type something in kwin [10:03] |2exx, what about it [10:03] icarus-c: tty never worked for me [10:03] IIVQ, what do you mean? [10:04] <|2exx> icarus, I loaded cyanogenmod a while back and I'm still having trouble mounting the sdcard [10:04] if I press ctrl-alt-F2 I go to a black screen [10:04] <|2exx> I tried the mke2fs [10:04] or sometimes flickering random [10:04] <|2exx> for mmcblk0 [10:04] IIVQ, don't you get a terminal there? (command prompt in Windows terminology) [10:04] don't get anything to work except alt-prtsc-sub [10:04] IIVQ, um. right that looks like a graphics driver problem to me [10:04] broadcom_tom: is the computer in question online allready? [10:05] ah [10:05] anyone know of a good partitioning tool that doesnt use parted. i am having problem becuase i created a NTFS disk with it and it auto put in a mftfs flag that stops mac osx disk util from reading the disk properly [10:05] I can not TYPE into my terminal [10:06] IIVQ, um.. you should do alt-sysrq-[resiub] instead of just sub [10:06] but I can copy/paste into it [10:06] is there a package for the divx codec? [10:06] mreh, is it avi you are talking about? [10:06] and appearently kwin is not installed [10:06] broadcom_tom: also check if you are able to activate the wifi card under the dektop menu System / Administration / Hardware Drivers [10:06] ResQue, cfdisk/fdisk? [10:06] I did apt-get autoremove yesterday [10:07] dan2, thanks i will try them now [10:07] maik_: Why don't you setup a ssh tunnel and then use phpmyadmin to use that settings [10:07] which disinstalled 3 or 4 packages that didn't seem important or outdated. kwin wasn't one of them [10:07] how do i use thinkfan to set my cpu fan speed to low? [10:07] icarus-c, avi is a format, that's idependent of the codec isn't it? [10:07] ResQue, since you've already got the partition fdisk should be enough.

That's hte only way to get a truly reliable configuration (though I'm surprised it's failing quite that often).

[10:34] dpac_, have to install mysql first mom [10:35] maik_: Do that [10:35] gp5st: Np, there are still a lot of people who recommend, incorrectly, to install grub2 to a partition with intel macs. The only reason, as far as I can tell, is that grub *legacy* used to overwrite the GPT data when you did this as it doesn't understand GPT. Grub2 has no such problem, but it's still a very common misconception.

[11:16] you can file a bugreport on launchpad [11:17] I've identified a repeatable sound issue.. there aren't any irc channels? [11:17] Karen_m, there are TONS of sounds issues [11:18] bonjour.. [11:18] whats the sound issue [11:18] i have sound issues by simply pluggin in my speakers [11:18] sound works. headphones plugged in. reboot WITH headphones plugged in, no sound. reboot without headphones plugged in, SOUND. [11:18] ubuntu version [11:19] If i have my speakers plugged in, and i do ANYTHING on my computer, i can hear the noise from my computer working, on my speakers. I have heard that since the day (15 years ago) i installed Redhat [11:19] 10.04 [11:19] Hello, I've been searching for an slide animation sotware, not so complex(monkey-tasks) as PowerPoint something easy as Wink in comparison to Camtasia, do you know of some app likeable? I want to make some training slides as cisco's for network training [11:19] every time that i login(auto) in ubuntu there is a messagebox that tell me to unlock keyring... can i do it automaticaly [11:19] Karen_m, my point- good luck.

[11:19] Acido-, nvidia onboard soundcard on a 790i ultra motherboard [11:20] SubCool: I have the same thing with a couple of my sound cards.. sometimes it's windows that has this interference sound, sometimes it's linux.. I suppose it's some kind of driver thing.. [11:20] SubCool: I've never been able to get rid of it in either system [11:20] can you lspci -v [11:20] none o those links say anything about divx [11:20] erUSUL: oh yeah, but I think it's Power Point's way, want something small and easy, not java concerned [11:20] Slart, ya, i have heard it occasionally on windows. drivers usually fix it. [11:21] Slart, that is usually speakers them self. - i have gone through many sound cards, computers, laptops, speakers.. Even after fixing the drivers on linux,, [11:21] Goblin123: you can disable java in oo quite easily... [11:21] The tweaking is endless [11:21] vulkan [11:21] after a little search, i understand i installed ubuntu with package selection and i havent the sound system at all...i need to fast install everything i need to hear sound (skype installed correctly btw...)..i dont have even alsamixer...what command should i give to install a minimal sound system? [11:21] erusul [11:21] SubCool: but the same soundcard that has the interfernce in linux doesn't have it in windows.. and with another card it's the other way around. [11:22] http://pastebin.com/pEXVXhgm [11:22] Slart, i use to play starcraft on my old Redhat box or Mandrake box, thats when i search for an answer, because the computer itself made soo much noise that got passed through the speakers, it made the sounds of the game almost mute. [11:22] erUSUL: is there any alternative? maybe something like wink but animation oriented [11:22] alexxio sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils [11:22] thank you acido [11:22] Slart, ya- seen it. lack of driver support supposedly [11:23] Anyone know how to get divx working in the browsers?? [11:23] SubCool: oh.. never had that much noise.. I can just barely make it out if I keep everything quiet [11:23] Slart, i gave up on their excuses sooo long ago. Kinda like having a working webcam or ... well anything with linux. they just dont fix it. I can have a 10 proccessor system, managing the world and its Money... but the sound card will still suck. [11:23] Goblin123: there is a software to make slides from HTML === Guest99083 is now known as jrib [11:24] edakiri: does it offer object animation? [11:24] actually, now that i think about it- im soo surprised im even on ubuntu. When i joined redhat, and went to madrake because redhat was being stupid, i said id never go debian.. yet- here i am. [11:25] SubCool: well.. to be quite honest, neither do the windows people.. but the soundcard makers do fix it for windows and sometimes mac.. but this is getting offtopic [11:25] Goblin123: all other presentastion software i know for linux is of the type of latex or html based etc ... [11:25] eh, sound cards and driver for linux vs. other brands.. kinda on topic [11:25] Goblin123: i don't know. i have not used it, but i probably would if i made a slide show. There are programs which are for animation, but they are surely much more than you need. [11:25] erUSUL: ooops, latex is complex to me [11:25] are there any advance linux users that know what they're doing with grub menu.lst files? [11:25] hii [11:26] the best way to avoid sound noise use to be go Creative labs Sound cards, but.. now ... well i havent heard much out of them.

[11:29] erUSUL: I really dislike PP and Impress, too many clicks for few things to happen [11:30] then if i soft reset further from that, sound stops working, the net doesn't work and i can't shut down the machine from any of buttons (haven't tried console) [11:30] Naeddyr: by modem do you mean the wireless networking device? Is it IEEE 802.11 ? [11:30] it's a nokia c-17 [11:30] Naeddyr: that means nothing to me [11:30] haven't actually gotten any hits for it outside of Finland :p [11:30] erUSUL: Can I set an option for my server to get more paranoid?

[11:59] richardcavell, allways use the latest FF [11:59] Haballo: probably, but phpbb doesn't install to the www directory correctly from the repositories [11:59] tuxbrother, just ask your question, maybe somebody can answer. [11:59] Oer: Ah, but the LTS does not [11:59] Haballo: so for phpBB, you should install from its downloadable version from their site [11:59] Haballo: as for osCommerce... [11:59] richardcavell, 10.04 ? [11:59] Oer: 8.04 uses v3.0b5 according to Wikipedai [11:59] okay, thanks a lot [11:59] Haballo: you'd have to ask others, but I can speak about phpBB because I spent 6 hours trying to use the repositories, and failing. [11:59] *Wikipedia. [12:00] Haballo: you can consider usenet instead of phpBB [12:00] richardcavell, i do not understand your question, update firefox and you will get the latest version [12:00] hello [12:00] hello,everyone [12:00] richardcavell: ignore wikipedia. its not 100% up-to-date [12:01] Oer: What I'm saying is... what is the difference between the latest release and the current LTS release, fully patched? See, most software updates are bugfixes. Are those bugfixes not as important to the LTS as they are to the bleeding edge? [12:01] jrib: isn't there. [12:01] am i able to play legal blue ray disks with ubuntu without to much of an hassle ? [12:01] richardcavell: the LTS IS the latest release [12:01] richardcavell: Maverick isnt released yet [12:01] harry103: pastebin your ~/.profile. What isn't there exactly? [12:01] I was told that phpbb is the most popular [12:01] richardcavell: and the REASON we don't have the most up to date stuff is because of stability testing [12:01] richardcavell, 8.04 is not bleeding edge [12:01] EvilPhoenix: Essentially what I'm trying to ask is: Do I upgrade to Maverick or maintain Lucid next month? [12:01] uLinux: i don't see any gconf setting that allow seperate windows. There is a command line switch --new-window, that will open a new window, or a document in a new window. But this doesn't help for documents opened within gedit. You could create a launcher with the --new-window switch, and that would start a blank new window. [12:01] how to use ubucompilator? [12:01] jrib: i don't seem to have a .profile [12:02] harry103: are you using ubuntu? [12:02] yes [12:02] ok thune3 tks [12:02] harry103: how did you create this user? [12:02] richardcavell: your choice, but the most recently released package versions are not going to be included immediately... they go through stability testing FIRST before the repositories are updated [12:02] richardcavell: i recommend staying with the LTS [12:02] which we KNOW are stable [12:02] ldap [12:02] created for me for college [12:02] Haballo: type "uLin" and then tab it completes the nick.. you dont nick to copy paste [12:02] richardcavell: I never upgrade anyways when something is first released. [12:03] richardcavell: i let it exist for a little while first, so that bugs are fixed, issues are addressed [12:03] harry103: copy /etc/skel/.profile [12:03] I'll probably stay with Lucid just because I have no desire to have the bleeding edge. No need for it. [12:03] richardcavell: besides... [12:03] uLinux, thanks [12:03] richardcavell: bugfixes are applied in LTS and current builds [12:04] richardcavell: so having said that [12:04] :) [12:04] exalt, unfortunately not, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD [12:04] richardcavell: updated repos are pushed in 10.04 and Maverick once its released [12:04] richardcavell: so yeah, enough discussion on whether to upgrade, we can continue that in #ubuntu+1 [12:04] jrib: great thanks it works [12:06] If I have a folder on a ubuntu server, e.g. /srv/app that is 770 in permissions. Then i create a folder /srv/app/data, and set permissions 777 on it. Why cannot other users read it? [12:06] Where can one find out the latest versions of software for Lucid? [12:06] kjelle: they need execute permissions on the parent directory [12:06] As in, not those that are on the install DVD but the latest in the repos? [12:07] jrib: ah, ok [12:08] jrib: so g+rx on /srv/app ? [12:08] richardcavell: connect to the internet, run Synaptic, hit Reload, then Mark All Upgrades [12:08] richardcavell: or, in terminal: [12:08] kjelle: well depends on the group (and read isn't necessary) [12:09] richardcavell: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [12:09] 不能讲国语 [12:09] kjelle: o not g... g has already 7 [12:09] !cn [12:09] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [12:09] 哈哈 [12:09] richardcavell: that updates all information about the repositories, and then applies any current package upgrades [12:09] erUSUL: hmm [12:09] richardcavell: that will nto upgrade you to the next release, but updates all your packages. [12:09] s/nto/not/ [12:09] EvilPhoenix: See, Maverick snapshot has Firefox 3.6.10. Lucid now has 3.6.10. So what's the crucial difference? [12:10] ppq: is this true ? Ubuntu 10.10 gets a "Global Menu", free Blu Ray encoder, ATI Linux drivers [12:10] richardcavell: between the firefox versions? none [12:10] richardcavell: the differences can be explained if you ask in #ubuntu+1 [12:10] !maverick > richardcavell [12:10] richardcavell, please see my private message [12:10] okay [12:10] exalt, this is news to me, no idea if it's true, sry. [12:11] erUSUL jrib: what is i only do 700 on my /srv/app*, then I add a group A, and set group perms on the data folder (/srv/app/data/) to g+rwx. As a member of group A, I cannot cd /srv/app/data/ or ls /srv/app/data/ [12:11] erUSUL jrib: are the permissions recurisive? [12:11] *recursive [12:11] kjelle: I have no idea what you just said, show with commands in a pastebin [12:11] jrib: okey. [12:12] kjelle: you orginally said /srv/app 770 not 700 and you said "others" not memebers of group A [12:12] erUSUL: yes [12:12] kjelle: so maybe you want to explain in a single line and accurately what do you want to do ? [12:12] erUSUL: i changed my statement, trying something different [12:12] erUSUL: i got a apache trying to read a folder of data to present a webpage, but apache should not have access to parent directies [12:12] join #baikal [12:12] *directories [12:13] kjelle: apache needs +x on all of them and +r on the one it should read. [12:13] maedox: okey. [12:13] kjelle: normally www-data on ubuntu. [12:13] ppq: look what i found: http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/?p=328 [12:13] i have process in D+ stat (uninteruptable sleep) how can I get them out of that state? [12:13] maedox: nods [12:14] maedox: can I add more than one group to a file/folder? :p [12:14] nope [12:14] kjelle: you can use ACLs, are you sure it's necessary/ [12:14] my ubuntu doesnt ever shutdown properly [12:14] the shutdown screen just idles forever [12:14] exalt, nice. would be great if there were also a free DEcoder for hdcp protected blu rays [12:14] jrib: i got other groups accessing parent directories [12:15] kjelle: is it an issue to just give +x to others? [12:15] Hi all. I have given the job to install ubuntu in 40 systems for a M.Sc lab. All are AMD 64 bit machines hp make. I thought of installing ubuntu 10.04 server edition in one system and desktop edition in all other systems [12:15] and if i want it shudown i have to do a dirty shutdown [12:15] how to create debian packages? [12:15] Is it correct way? [12:15] !packaging | vaibhav [12:15] vaibhav: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [12:15] einstein_, i adime that job [12:15] admire it [12:15] ppq: why would someone encode his data in a format that he himselves cannot play ? [12:15] jrib: I dont know, im paranoid, could they then execute crap? probably not, as they do not have +x? [12:15] vaibhav, if it's just for yourself and it's not a module, give 'checkinstall' a try [12:15] einstein_, why would you do that [12:16] einstein_, unless a network install is being contemplated [12:16] kjelle: you can think of +x on a directory as the ability to "cd" into it === mue__ is now known as mue [12:16] jrib: okey, but you can neither read nor change. [12:16] kjelle: right [12:16] jrib: so it's quite safe then i'd guess [12:16] exalt, i think it's no problem to play unprotected blu rays in ubuntu [12:17] einstein_, you should install it on one machine, set it up as you wish [12:17] kjelle: yeah, that would save you the trouble of setting up ACLs. With ACLs you could just give the www-data group the +x [12:17] I want to install kdevelop in kubuntu 10.04 but can't find the package, only kdevplatform1. I can't find any references to it via google. What did I miss? [12:17] Hay thanks, Let me try out.. :) [12:17] then use ssh to dd that drive onto all other machiens [12:17] I didn't install yet . I am thinking of . that is why I am seeking your advice [12:18] kjelle: or www-data user even [12:18] the experts are in ##linux [12:18] i would ask there [12:18] join baikal evry 1 [12:18] its the best channel security [12:18] kjelle: +x on directories is different from +x on files. +x on dir means traverse this dir, +x on file you know. ;) [12:19] join baikal [12:19] maedox: yes ;) that's what I was worried about. Dont generally like o+x on files :) [12:19] spid3rxx: /join #baikal [12:19] maedox: Last thing now is to get my svn..org working [12:19] it claims it has forbidden access to / === oracle_ is now known as oracle [12:19] i m into [12:20] wtf, kdevelop is an unsupported update in backports for 10.04?

[12:23] Xase: KDevelop isn't available in lucid and I just couldn't accept it :D [12:23] * Kulik cries [12:24] Yeah that's kind of lame. [12:24] So how do I add an ssh-rsa key to my list of accepted keys? [12:25] Eric IDE needs more VIM [12:25] Xase: in what context? [12:25] I'm trying to pull github code... [12:26] but it's saying something about their key not being accepted. [12:26] Xase: maybe pastebinning what you are doing and the output may get you more help [12:26] are you git cloning? [12:27] Xase, you should just git clone git://github.com/etc/foobar.git [12:28] Xase, unless you're trying to use your own github account in which case you'll need to give your own ssh public key to them via the web interface [12:28] xase, remote systems? ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ....

[12:32] Damn, I just killed the permissions for my Apache2 to serve svn.host.org.

[12:33] I'v been messing with permissions in /srv/subversion/ (my repos) and in /var/www/ [12:33] Dancek, you've just helped me make a stride in porting clockwork recovery for Android to the moto devour ^^ [12:33] maedox: (13)Permission denied: access to /master denied [12:33] I wish I had waited though and looked at Amazon. [12:33] kjelle: in the apache log? [12:33] I could've got a fascinate for 0.01 cents ;) [12:33] maedox: yes /var/log/apache2/error.log [12:34] ok, what's the ls -l on /master ? [12:34] maedox: i had everything 777 before :) [12:34] maedox: /master is the svn path [12:34] maedox: https://svn..org/master [12:34] kjelle: I got that, but what's the permissions and owner/group? [12:34] dancek, perhaps if you're not busy atm and have a second, you could explain to me a bit better how to push this, and my changes back to my own repo? [12:35] www-data owns /srv/subversion/* [12:35] with 770 [12:35] what does sensor value multiplier mean? in sensor-applet [12:35] with o+x on all :) [12:36] ola [12:36] quien enseña tetas por cam ? [12:36] lol [12:36] maedox: i just did 777 on /srv/subversion/, but didnt help [12:36] Hola [12:36] kjelle: what was that about the group stuff earlier? do you need some group to access it? [12:36] maedox: i also restart apache2 inbetween [12:36] Xase, it's been a while since i used git but i think `git commit -a` [12:36] maedox: i only want www-data to be able to read subvesrion [12:36] maedox: since SVN controls permissions on files it self [12:37] i dont want any user to just dl my entire svn any more (im resecuring my server, as im gonna add a few friends) [12:37] Xase, i recommend you read a git tutorial though, and maybe ask on #git [12:37] TIJD! [12:37] whoops [12:37] Sweet. [12:37] :D [12:37] Thanks dancek i <3 you.

[12:40] maedox: all files are like that. [12:40] ooo yeess [12:40] frag4now, this is one of the things you simply don't do i guess. maybe it can be fixed with a live-cd, i don't know [12:40] maedox: thanks for helping out, btw :) [12:40] then it is not a filesystem error, it's apache blocking your web access.

[12:43] frag4now, as i said, i don't know - boot a live-cd, make backups. then you can try playing with udeb libc6. maybe debootstrap can fix it, too. [12:43] i have an urgent problem with ubuntu 10.04 [12:44] I just got an HP z800 workstation [12:44] maedox: yes [12:44] ppq: debootstrap? what is it? [12:44] thevibe: which is? [12:44] maedox: I get the httpasss prompt look-alike [12:44] maedox: enter user/pass (saved in browser). [12:44] I've installed 10.04 and is not displaying anything [12:44] maedox: my Trac is able to use SVN [12:44] this is the first ubuntu machine in this company [12:44] maedox: but i need apache to be able to handle svn for users too [12:44] if I can't solve this urgently [12:44] thevibe: nothing [12:45] it's done with my ubuntu things [12:45] frag4now, with debootstrap, you can install an ubuntu system to a specified folder out of a running live-cd. it only installs really needed packages, not even an kernel or grub. bit it does install libc6 [12:45] nothing [12:45] no no [12:45] is nothing [12:45] just a distorted thing [12:45] maedox: SVNListParentPath On might mess with my setup? /var/www/ is owned by root, group root. content is all www-data [12:45] kjelle: we use apache with dav here too, so I'll have a look. Can't remember every directive in the config :D [12:45] bazhang go out please [12:45] frag4now, after you made backups, try to mount the ubuntu root partition and give the mount path to debootstrap. it may complain about existing files, but maybe it installs libc6 [12:46] maedox: true :-) [12:46] flyppy, pardon? [12:46] is going probably up to the login screen [12:46] bazhang go out please [12:46] !troll > flyppy [12:46] flyppy, please see my private message [12:46] the vibe: Do you know your hardware? Was it working before? Did the live cd display? [12:46] flyppy, please stay on topic [12:46] you fuck with me? [12:46] and there is either showing me this distorted thing or is not showing anything and the monitorS are going to sleep [12:46] ppq: can I run debootstrap from a live-cd? is there an option to run it? [12:46] flyppy: no you're disturbing everyone else [12:46] now I'm on the live cd [12:46] maedox: thanks [12:47] I've trid to install the latest updates and teh nVidia driver [12:47] frag4now, after you booted the live-cd you have to install debootstrap in the live system via apt-get [12:47] but nothing [12:47] frag4now, i have to repeat - backups are the most important thing now :) [12:47] ppq: not for me, it's not my system! [12:48] ppq: if someone is so dumb to remove a library that he/she doesn't know what is used for...has to pay! [12:48] maedox: I did chown www-data on /var/www, also u+wrx on the folder.

[12:50] maedox: thanks for the help :) [12:50] kjelle: hmm, yes, odd. I can't see anything wrong with your config other than that the DocumentRoot is different from what I thought was to be used with SVN. [12:50] ppq: thanks for your help [12:50] ppq: she'll reinstall from scratch [12:51] kjelle: The docroot in our server is /svnroot/ttweb/html (tt is just a name for one of the repos) [12:51] what does sensor value multiplier mean? in sensor-applet [12:51] frag4now, np [12:51] I guess it all depends on the setup, so if your docroot is /var/www and it can't be read, that the issue ;) [12:52] kjelle: glad you figured it out. [12:52] thevibe, i don't know but you should rephrase the question in one line so it's easier to read, and then ask it every 10 minutes [12:54] I have a new hp z800, I installed ubuntu 10.04.1 and is not able to display anything or is displaying (where the login screen should probably be) a distorted thing [12:54] maedox: thanks :-) [12:54] thevibe: as mentioned you need to keep to one line or else it is impossible to read and understand what's up. If you are having issues with your graphics perhaps it will help to boot in safe graphics mode. [12:54] maedox: now the server is almost 100% secure, silly me didnt know about the umode in /etc/profile :p [12:55] I didn't tried that (safe-mode) as the live cd works [12:55] "instance ZipList where pure = repeat" ? [12:55] if this works, it should work the other way around also [12:55] ? [12:55] kjelle: ah, yes, the umask utility is great for that :) [12:56] > pure 1 :: ZipList Int [12:56] @bots [12:56] thevibe: oh, I thought you were on the live-cd. That is odd, but no unheard of. [12:56] I am on a live cd [12:56] wrong channel [12:57] and if it's able to do everything using the live cd it should do the same after installation, am I right? [12:57] Dum dee; [12:57] hi, someone needs quick help on mounting an encrypted home here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1580999 [12:57] thevibe: I think the live-cd boots in a safer mode as the installer will try to check for more devices or something like that. the installer probably screws something up and booting in safe gfx mode might get your drivers installed properly. [12:58] seems critical [12:58] thx [12:58] I will try the safe-mode way [12:58] this is my first z800 so I thought maybe there was somebody else who had the same problem [12:58] thanks anyway [12:58] Okay I *still* cant figure this out; Bloody firewall logging! === jason is now known as Guest89989 === Guest89989 is now known as Xase [13:00] where can I find microphone device? /dev/input?

[13:10] Tuplad: make it only executable for root [13:10] duffydack: i have a separate home partition [13:10] uLinux, so free is more than available.. available being 5% less [13:10] darkis: check this one http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html [13:10] LjL: yeah, that's what I'm looking for, I've tried chown root:root but it doesn't work ;\ [13:11] Where can I get the backported 2.6.35 10.10 kernel to 10.04 ? [13:11] Plitter already did :) [13:11] Tuplad: that's changing owner.. not rights [13:11] man chmod [13:11] hmm [13:11] darkis: didnt work? [13:11] uLinux: doesnt matter, it's a filesystem-feature. those reservations are pointless on data-filesystems, only make sense on root-fs / [13:11] plitter give's me 0.8.* [13:12] an apt mirror with all security updates of 2.6.35 to 10.04 [13:12] Tuplad: chown root:root makes the *owner* root; that's a necessarily step, but it's not enough. you also have to do chmod go-x filename to make the file not executable except for the owner [13:12] llutz: well so i am losing space there === ServerTech|Lapto is now known as ServerTechLaptop [13:12] a lot of space [13:12] if you need that 5%, buy a bigger hd [13:12] uLinux: yes, but you can modify the 5% afterwards also, iirc .. not really sure though [13:12] uLinux: that 5% are historical, idiotic nowadays on big filesystems [13:12] uLinux: what file system? [13:12] ext4 [13:13] uLinux: tune2fs -m 0 can change that [13:13] home partition [13:13] yep, like that === flupke_ is now known as flupke [13:13] Anyone know a good way to broadcast to an fme server like Justin.tv?

[13:14] is there a way i can see my network if it's safe or being flood? [13:14] Tuplad: read what ljl just said a few lines up [13:14] llutz vega_ im losing 45.6 GB! [13:15] uLinux: "sudo dumpe2fs -h /dev/sdaX |grep Reserved" shows you the amount [13:15] uLinux: sudo tune2fs -m0 /dev/sdaX to change it to 0 [13:15] uLinux: so just run that tun2fs command.. [13:15] darkis: hmm, try this then http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/08/vlc-in-ubuntu-gets-new-ppa-and-its.html [13:15] vega_: oh, I did just that...

Thanks in Advance [13:16] plitter i think i find a mirror [13:16] both .profile and .bash_profile are not run on my ubuntu 10 desktop startup.. where should I put the commands that I want to be run at startup [13:16] vega_: the difference is that it won't be readable aswell [13:16] LjL: I know what's wrong, the shortcut I've had links to an other file -_- [13:16] darkis: send a link if u find:) [13:17] http://ftp.nc.debian.org/pub/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/v/vlc/ === Benwa-Ktm is now known as Benwa [13:17] < llutz> uLinux: sudo tune2fs -m0 /dev/sdaX to change it to 0 [13:17] what does that command [13:17] plitter it's a debian one but with ubuntu package [13:17] uLinux: changes the 5% to 0% [13:17] uLinux: changes reserved space to "Zero" man tune2fs [13:18] * DOA hello [13:18] ok so I dont need that space in /home right? [13:18] no [13:18] uLinux: nope [13:18] tks [13:18] uLinux: its important to have on / (/tmp, /var) [13:18] darkis: ahhh, k:) good u found it:) [13:18] thanks, it worked out! [13:19] ? [13:19] plitter you can use it to help someone else :) [13:19] llutz: i only have a separate partition for /home [13:19] is there a way i can see graphically my network activities?

If you need other all the other Exchange functionality too, there's no simple answer. [13:20] Where can I get kernel backports? [13:20] Hello, I have bought myself a new Sony Vaio and in the beginning the trackpad didnt work, but I found a site that told me to fix grub with this line, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”i8042.nopnp” [13:20] now it works, but I dont have multitouch on it, is there another fix or could someone help me make a bug on launchpad? [13:20] apt mirrors [13:20] ppa's [13:21] Snadder, kernel backports, what do you mean? New kernel versions for old Ubuntu versions? [13:21] llutz: can I run 'sudo tune2fs -m0 /dev/sda7' like.. right now? [13:21] dancek, I was asking 1- to understand what exactly Exchange server do, 2- what will be substitute for Exchange server in linux, is that postfix, sendmail or something else? [13:21] uLinux: sure [13:21] dancek, the 2.6.35 kernel from 10.10 backported to 10.04 [13:22] Snadder, perhaps try enabling the lucid-backports repo ? [13:22] llutz: /tmp and /var are on / [13:22] hi, i tried to install php on apache...modules are installed and activated, still i get a file download when browsing to the file instead of getting the page [13:23] alguien que hable español? [13:23] :))) [13:23] !es | lu6ejf [13:23] lu6ejf: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [13:23] now i have a lot of space! tks a lot llutz and vega_ [13:23] sarthor, that's not a simple question, you could easily have a month-long full-day course on that subject. You won't get that complicated an answer on IRC. [13:23] mattgyver, Is it possible to only add the kernel from lucid-backports to apt? [13:23] thanks [13:23] gonna save that command [13:23] Snadder, I dont know about that but you could always install it and then remove the repo [13:23] when i do dmesg i get over 2000 lines of |sirdev_hard_xmit: drv->do_write failed (-19)| -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/499675/ how do i fix this ? [13:24] Snadder, it's also basically quite easy to compile the kernel yourself. [13:24] mattgyver, I want auto security updates. [13:24] uLinux: even on a 10G / you can change that to 1% safely [13:24] llutz: my / is 18gb [13:24] dancek, thats why i asked about the web link from experts like you people. because i think i have to understand, but i do not want to waste my time in search, [13:24] dancek, I want the most recent kernel all the time, security is very important. [13:25] llutz: 18.8gb total can i change it to 1%? [13:25] hi [13:25] uLinux: yes but there should be no need [13:25] Snadder, if you want security then it's *not* a good idea to keep updating to the newest kernel version [13:25] yeyes the difference is only 1gb [13:26] uLinux: that reservation just make sure, that if a filesystem is "full" root still will be able to move/copy/create some stuff [13:26] dancek, as long as I keep to 10.10 kernel. and follow the security updates provided there.. then it should be fine. [13:26] sarthor, look, then just get a 1000-page book like http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Microsoft-Exchange-Server-2010/dp/0470521716 [13:26] llutz: oh ok :) [13:26] dancek, I also need a module in 2.6.35.. [13:26] Snadder, 10.04 is LTS so you'll get better support for its kernel [13:26] uLinux: and therefore he won't (shouldn't) need xx GB [13:27] Snadder, you using 10.04 or 10.10 [13:27] what's the version name of 10.10? [13:27] bazhang, i'm using 10.04.. but need 2.6.35 with security updates. [13:27] Snadder, thats not supported [13:27] !10.10 [13:27] Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is NOT released and NOT Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [13:27] ty [13:28] does ubuntu support will netbook with cpu n450? [13:28] does ubuntu support well netbook with cpu n450? [13:28] !hcl > zhxk [13:28] zhxk, please see my private message [13:28] bazhang, Earlier I got a ppa kernel mirror who's backported. [13:28] dancek, i am going on linux side because i do have to spend. and this book costs about 38$. Thanks my friend! i know that is not your problem that i can not pay ;) [13:29] Snadder, PPA? that's at your own risk. and running a 10.10 kernel with 10.04 is very unstable and insecure. [13:29] ##devil [13:30] helo mindenkinek, nagyon nehezen talaltam ide [13:30] bazhang, Hmz.. I heard it was pretty stable. [13:30] bazhang, do you have the url to it? [13:30] Snadder, no. and not supported here, thus offtopic === winston is now known as Guest89428 [13:31] bazhang, Ok.. whats the easiest way of just trying 2.6.35 on 10.04 then? [13:31] sarthor, what do you need an exchange server for anyways? It's for enterprise use, you certainly shouldn't need unless you're a corporation... [13:31] Snadder, you dont [13:31] help i want to go to the ubuntu hu [13:32] is somebody here to help me please === jillsmitt is now known as jillsmitt_away [13:32] domi52, ask a question [13:33] i want to go to the ubuntu-hu [13:33] domi52, /join #ubuntu-hu then [13:33] !hu | domi52 [13:33] domi52: Magyar nyelvű segítséget az #ubuntu-hu csatornán talál [13:34] tank you [13:34] bazhang, why are you bullshitting me: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/kernel-2-6-35-officially-available-for-ubuntu-10-04.html [13:34] dancek, I want to learn, like i learnt squid proxy a little bit, i learn handling iptbales and shorewall a bit, also handling bind, configuring hospot and pppoe-server on linux, so i am earning from these things, I want to learn this new stuff also, While i am not college or university graduate, but i like to learn, Even i am not a corporation, but i need to learn, hope you can understand dancek [13:34] Snadder, watch the language [13:35] hello! i updated my ubuntu yesterday then something weird happens: shutdown and restart in the menu simply logs me out apparently so i see the login screen back, so i have to do "sudo shutdown" or shutdown -r. do you have any idea what may be broken? [13:35] I cant transfer a window to another desktop by dragging. Desktop Wall is enabled. what's missing? [13:35] how can I install a .deb package and let it solve any dependency? when i run: dpkg -i .deb it doesn't find 2 dependencies so it stops [13:35] frag4now, you need to install that depedencies your self only [13:36] AbhiJit: booooring :( [13:36] bazhang, sorry.. but is it any diffrence between backports and ppa's?.. Haven't understood that really. [13:37] what topic are you talking about === sonal is now known as Bihari_ [13:37] Snadder: backports are "official"; ppa are third party [13:37] sarthor, well you can't learn complicated stuff without studying a lot thus your original question "too much to read" is strange. Sorry I can't help further. [13:37] qingwu, type /topic [13:37] AbhiJit: ah ok i don't need package version...i solved with apt-get. thanks ;) [13:37] frag4now, good [13:37] Snadder, thats from the git repo, and you need to compile yourself [13:38] AbhiJit: thanks ;) [13:38] dancek, OK. [13:38] bazhang, Yes. But I suspect it's a simpler official backported way. [13:38] I guess I can configure the backported mirror to only set up the kernel to download. [13:39] so I get security updates at once. [13:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/499682/ <---- i got this from my firestarter....and i got GUI events i got this inbound:: total = 0 / serious = 20 i'm a bit worried but this serious thing and i read the events i saw red and some black text reports.... :( [13:39] Snadder: Kernels are not backported. [13:40] Snadder, its a PPA and not supported; completely at your own risk, and the risk is substantial here [13:40] Pici, bazhang Sure it's a PPA? [13:40] Hmz.. [13:41] Snadder, from that link, yes. and nothing to do with stability or security (quite the reverse) [13:41] I dont want to use PPAs.. sorry for my confusion. [13:41] there is a 2.6.34 lts-lucid type kernel in the lucid git [13:41] I meant 2.6.35 [13:42] Hey every one! Please help me! after use dpkg in recovery mode, I'v lost my U!!!! Help!

[14:11] ubuntu: What is aytually our problem ? You cannot boot into ubuntu anymore or you need to access your date from windows or what ? [14:11] But after removing this line, all printers disappear.

[14:12] Bihari_: i686 means 32-bit [14:12] Bihari_, its 32 bit [14:12] ok [14:12] icarus-c: ill try to find that out ;) [14:12] Bihari_: it would say x86_64 for 64-bit. [14:12] uLinux: but you have to set the shortcut as "Super_L" (not ) [14:12] oic [14:12] uLinux: run "gconf-editor" and search for panel [14:12] crankygeek: google "ssh web tunnel" there should be a lot of how tos [14:12] crankygeek: what you want seems trivial, where is the problem ?

[14:14] mmoebius: I can SSH over to the box, I am actually talking to you on irssi from that machine....but I need to use a browser for somethings I am trying to configure on the box, and don't have a browser installed, so I need to use the one on this Windows box [14:15] crankygeek: Have you set up a proxy server, e.g. squid on the remote machine ? [14:15] mmoebius: I cannot mount my other linux partition, but I guess I solved it with tunefs -E test_fs , also to well_laid_lawn and llutz [14:15] erUSUL: so it won't remove zillions of pkgs if I remove the meta? [14:15] hello... so my computer is randomly crashing and im not sure why. is there a way to read the syslog from the last time it started up? [14:15] weirdpercent: it shouldn't.

I've never used the socks5 - proxy feature. llutz, will you guide us a little :interested: [14:24] crankygeek: it has to be SOCKS proxy, not normal (http) proxy [14:24] erUSUL: okay, thanks for the help.

I learned something :-) [14:27] quiescens: sweet, thanks [14:27] crankygeek: "localhost" without space. see http://bit.ly/d7Ne5N [14:28] llutz: should I use the word localhost, even if that is not the name of my server? [14:28] mmoebius: that the same as "ssh -D host" with ssh [14:28] crankygeek: it has to be "localhost" in putty AND in IE [14:28] crankygeek: exactly that word, not your host [14:29] on lid close, my lucid shuts down after some time. how can i avoid this? [14:29] Hi, any good suggestions for a good video recording software ? [14:29] Is there a way to get this sound-menu in Ubuntu? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu [14:29] ardian, cheese [14:30] Cheese is lagging to much [14:30] ardian, try searching in software center [14:30] alright, I've asked this like 1000 times, but maybe today's my lucky day: since upgrading to lucid, clicking on title bars is totally buggy. My clicks often go through and select the window beneath, or some other completely random window. I'll double click to maximize/minizine, and a different app will do that instead. What is going on? This has been across over 5 systems, clean installs. [14:31] how do i turn my computer off in ubuntu? [14:31] :/ [14:31] llutz: still no good, I don't understand why, it can't be my firewall at this place, because I am able to make the ssh connection :( [14:31] cf0531: there's a button in the top right that looks like a circle with a line cutting it at the top. press that, hit shut down. [14:31] :D [14:31] hehe [14:31] cf0531: or in CLI: sudo shutdown now [14:31] Typh: 5 different computers? Did you use the same CD/DVD to install? [14:32] no [14:32] lol [14:32] llutz: Oh, interesting, never used ssh -D , either. To date I had VPNs to wherever I needed them :-) [14:32] metacity or compiz¿? [14:32] default everything. [14:32] Typh: same hardware? [14:33] netrat: not at all. desktop, work computer, laptop, 2 netbooks. No common pattern. [14:33] for some reason traceroute works in my network tools but not in terminal [14:33] cf0531: what error does it gives in terminal [14:33] whats the default Ruby version in Lucid? [14:34] Typh: Weird [14:34] !info ruby [14:34] ruby (source: ruby-defaults): An interpreter of object-oriented scripting language Ruby. In component main, is optional. Version 4.2 (lucid), package size 20 kB, installed size 100 kB [14:34] mmoebius: ssh -D like a poor mans VPN, very handy in some situations [14:34] erUSUL: i mean actual ruby code version, not package version [14:34] dpac_: indeed. It makes me go crazy, and no one seems to know what I'm talking about :( [14:34] operation not permitted is the error [14:34] llutz: still no good, I don't understand why, it can't be my firewall at this place, because I am able to make the ssh connection :( [14:35] crankygeek: have you checked the settings twice (port, dynamic/auto selected)? [14:35] EvilPhoenix: 1.8.7.249-2 [14:35] llutz: I bet that this may come in handy sometimes :-) At least simpler than -L and -R and thinking about each port before using it [14:35] cf0531: sudo traceroute [14:35] Typh: Did you use same ISO file to install on all systems? [14:35] can ubuntu run kernels from kernel.org? [14:35] thanks erUSUL [14:35] llutz: I have checked it multiple times [14:35] TiK, yes [14:35] TiK: yes; but why would you want to ? [14:35] histo, i try to unlock an luks encryptet root fs over ssh (with dropbox) but after echo -n 'myencpassword' > /lib/cryptsetup/passfifo nothing happens. Any ideas about how to debug this? [14:35] mmoebius: yup, just some apps need tsocks or similar tools because they cannot use SOCKS natively [14:36] dpac_: no. Likely fresh download each time, hash checked [14:36] just askin [14:36] llutz: With "normal" ssh one should even be able t o enter the ssh command mode and then issue "-D" at any time needed without restarting the ssh connection. Handy, indeed. [14:36] Any way of getting the 10.10 sound menu applet in 10.04? [14:36] ah thank you [14:36] I am looking for application to access a remote PC [14:36] crankygeek: no idea then, sorry [14:36] rocket16: "panflute" is what I use.... [14:37] Typh: More weird. Fresh downloaded install across different type of hardware and still same problem === turtle_ is now known as deviant [14:37] llutz: after I hit add it populates with D7070 in PuTTY [14:37] Typh: Did you try upgrading one of them to maverick and check if the problem exists? [14:37] crankygeek: thats right [14:37] Good afternoon everyone. I sem to have lost my soundcard drivers in the last string of kernel updates (netbook, sound device is "00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)" from lspci) anyone else had this problem and knows a solution? [14:37] dpac_: not yet. I can certainly give it a shot. [14:37] what is the difference between scribus and any word pressor like oo word? what is basically scribus is? [14:37] icarus-c: you were right Super_L conflicts with other stuff === deviant is now known as deviantp [14:38] it baffles me that I seem to be the only person having this problem. [14:38] Typh: Try that. One more thing, are you testing using the same mouse by any chance? [14:38] TiK: Thanks, I will give it a try. :) [14:38] no :( [14:38] the only common element is me [14:38] Typh: Lol [14:38] and Lucid [14:39] Typh: But no other person has got the same problem on Lucid.. Try maverick. [14:40] Typh: When you boot using Live option, does it have the same problem? [14:40] llutz: I got it......I had to disconnect everything and reconnect.....strange that I did that before, but I guess it never took [14:40] One thing I have noticed is that if I hold alt while clicking, there's no problem [14:40] I am looking for application to access a remote PC [14:41] AbhiJit: Scribus is akin to your Adobe Framemaker, iStudio Publisher, Microsoft Publisher but unlike these 3, scribus is open source. [14:41] crankygeek: anyway, it works, fine [14:41] llutz: Oooh, I also added "Do not use Proxy server with the following addresses *.mydomain.com [14:41] Rajasun, ok [14:41] !who | Typh [14:41] Typh: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:42] llutz: Thank you so much for your help..... [14:43] dpac_: :), sorry [14:43] how do I tell what version my graphic driver is? [14:43] Typh: That moves window on mine. Do you install anything after fresh install? Some kind if script? [14:43] How do I find out what my hostname is on the network? Windows won't display it [14:44] ixnari: use "hostname" command [14:44] dpac_: no. and it's inconsistent. I can't narrow down any behaviour that makes it happen. [14:44] I mean, nothing strange. vim is probably the only definite. [14:44] llutz: Cheers [14:45] Good Morning, gentlemen. Possibly ladies, but slim chance of that...

[14:48] edbian: thanks, checking now [14:48] Roush427r, update-manager -d. but be careful: -d means developer, so you're about to update to a developer version (10.10) [14:48] Roush427r: update-manager -d is only for checking for updates to the latest DEVELOPMENT release of Ubuntu.

I see one of my packages has 2 entries when I do apt-cache show on it. Somehow the latest version is never detected when I do an apt-get upgrade. Any ideas on how I can proceed to upgrade to the last version (it should be there when its shown in apt-cache right?) [15:14] how do I make the gnome run dialog set the path correctly? [15:14] Is it possible to get ubuntu to discover my usb3 harddrive before the daemons starts? [15:15] sjefen6, you could mount it by hand [15:15] hi [15:15] tmba, sudo apt-get install --reinstall ?? [15:15] hi [15:15] u9 [15:15] [15:15] Ubuntu boot automatically enabled ipv6 [15:15] ResQue, there's a gparted live cd. http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php it features support for every fs gparted supports normally. try this, it's possible that this version can resize hfs+ in opposite to the ubuntu version [15:16] SystemParadox: how? daemons start before login [15:16] sjefen6, which daemons are you referring to? [15:16] you need udev at the very least [15:16] blue_anna: thanks, I'll try that [15:16] SystemParadox: transmission-daemon [15:17] sjefen6, but once udev has discovered the device, you should have a /dev/sdx1 like any other drive [15:17] when I try apt-get install --reinstall, apt-get complains that package can not be downloaded [15:17] sjefen6, the real question is why do you want to do this? [15:17] this is from ppa btw... [15:18] sjefen6, are you rtying to not use ipv6 on startup? [15:18] sjefen6, you really shouldn't be putting anything on that drive which will stop your system from working if it's not plugged in [15:18] http://www.heise.de/netze/artikel/Teredo-unter-Linux-und-Co-223864.html [15:18] ppq, i didnt want to use gparted becuase it seem to set werid flags that osx doesnt like and smegs the drive up [15:18] uncomment this line in /etc/sysctl.conf: net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra=0 [15:18] SystemParadox: becouce all data for the torrent flies are reported as missing, before the drive is detected [15:18] where can i get kernel-package 12.036, the one installed in Lucid is 12.032 and it has problems compiling vanilla 2.6.35, the bug report says using 12.036 fixes the issue [15:19] ResQue, ok, can you use mac osx's tools to resize? [15:19] ppq, i cant not seem todo that it think its not a hfs+ volumn [15:20] blue_anna: I removed the strange package using apt-get remove, then just using apt-get install worked. Instead of install --reinstall [15:20] ResQue, uh, thats bad - does osx have an option to check and "repair" it? [15:21] blue_anna: no, usb3 drive for storing torrent data. The torrent daemon starts and gives an error becouse the harddrive (that is connected) is not yet mounted in the boot prossdure [15:21] ppq, Ok let me explain what happened. i used gparted to create create an ntfs volume. but gparted auto sets the "msftres" flash on any ntfs or fat partition and osx diskutil doesnt like that at all [15:21] hi poeple.. short question about apt-get: I always get the error message: warning, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 53119 package 'virtualbox-3.1': [15:21] error in Version string '3.1.6-59338_Ubuntu_karmic': invalid character in revision number [15:21] any idea?

[15:22] Ejdesgaard, #ubuntu+1 [15:22] is 10.10 stable enough for reliable use yet? [15:23] sjefen6, you could add the usb drive to fstab, so that it is mounted early in boot process [15:23] blue_anna, "reliable" use? no, just lts versions are, imho :) [15:23] ssam: How? [15:24] I've created a usb bootable drive with usb-creator putting ubuntu 10.10 netbook but I get: Unkwnown keyboard in configuration file.

[16:20] thanks andycc, let me check it, if i will have some problem i will come back [16:20] thanks a lot [16:20] andycc, i just download, compiled, make and "make install" the latest version of make 3.82. and i still get the error [16:21] ResQue: wow, you sure do a lot of compiling. Tried updating Karmic from the liveCD? === maxim is now known as Guest56290 [16:21] ResQue: or just go to http://pendrivelinux.com/ and get a persistent karmic/lucid on a USB stick. [16:21] Bună seara =) [16:22] andycc, haha yes, i am getting a little better everytime, i am very commited to opensource these days, everything i code is now opensource and i download source ever time so i can learn [16:22] Hi, I have a directory, inside which there are various subdirectories, now I want to change content of a file name say "xyz" which is present inside various subdirectory of original given directory [16:22] andycc, do you think its becuase my os isnt updated? [16:22] Is their a quick way to do it using bash? [16:22] or any other nice linux command :P [16:24] ResQue: I am pretty sure it's because you haven't updated it. [16:24] How do i start openssh-server? [16:24] hello.. i plugged in a 16gb flash drive and copied an iso to it that i had downloaded using a live cd. Now when i plug in the drive it is not recognized and when i plug into an XP machine the flash is identified but when i click on it, it prompts me to format it. Bottom line i can't see the drive in linux and can't see any content in XP [16:25] andycc, i really dont understand the error. what is it telling me [16:25] Ubuntuer: how exactly did you copy the iso [16:25] andycc, the command i am running, well what make is running is as follows : "xsltproc -o gparted-C.omf --stringparam db2omf.basename gparted......" [16:25] Ubuntuer, did you safely remove it afterwards [16:26] thru the file manager. [16:26] yes.. i ejected it [16:26] neraj [16:26] andycc and i get the error "warning: failed to load external entity "db2omf.lang" and "cannot parse db2omf.lang" [16:26] neeraj: find path -name file.foo |xargs sed 'stuff you want to change' [16:26] neraj: you want to rename the file? [16:26] i think maybe this is something todo with help files or documination [16:27] nothingspecial, no. Just want to overwrite the content of the file with a string value [16:27] neraj: like llutz said [16:28] ResQue: I don't have much experience, but sounds like you need to apt-get upgrade your system. [16:28] ResQue: also, Ubuntu isn't really a source distro. It's a binary distro. === dumbstupidhuman is now known as jpgnizak [16:28] andycc ok thanks [16:28] ResQue: if you want to experiment with compiling from source use Arch, Gentoo, Crux or something else. [16:29] andycc thanks i been meaning to try gentoo for a while [16:29] andycc: duffydack; any chance i can rescue my flash drive content? [16:29] neeraj: find path -name file.foo -exec echo 'your stringstuff' > {} + will overwrite contents of those files [16:30] Ubuntuer: i'd say pastebin the output of fdisk -l === cmdshftn_ is now known as cmdshftn [16:30] andycc: ok.. let me do that [16:32] I need help with mounting NFS shares in ubuntu. When I type sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.0.9:/public /mnt/qnap/ it does not execute it, but seems to be waiting stdin output (?) [16:33] you should write mount -t nfs //192..... === brett_ is now known as Guest50357 [16:33] I am having problems setting up ftp on my Ubuntu machine. [16:33] I've installed wu-ftpd. [16:33] Hey all. What do people use in linux for free scrum work item and progress tracking tools? [16:34] jerwell: mount.nfs: DNS resolution failed for //192.168.0.9: No address associated with hostname [16:34] andycc: here it is; http://paste.ubuntu.com/499784/ [16:34] I can connect to the server but the connection drops. I get "error: cannot execute /usr/sbin/in.ftpd: No such file or directory" in daemon.log [16:34] your dns is wrong [16:35] jerwell: nfs says it expects hostname:share format [16:35] Ubuntuer: your pendrive doesn't have a part table. [16:35] Ubuntuer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [16:35] //ip/share [16:35] Ubuntuer: look for the testdisk section. [16:35] andycc: ok.. let me try that [16:35] jerwell: that's for smbfs [16:36] i have forgot [16:36] jerwell: "mount.nfs: remote share not in 'host:dir' format" [16:37] Where is a good IRC channel for packaging help? [16:37] Launchpad PPA and such. [16:37] ? [16:37] prettyrobots: #ubuntu-packaging or #launchpad [16:37] Is there a better channel than #ubuntu itself. [16:37] Pici: Thank you. Thank you. [16:38] andycc: i have to install the testdisk first?.. btw i am on a live cd [16:39] * slyboots rubs his eyes.. getting annoyed now [16:39] alex_t: nfs serverside is running and your /etc/exports is ok? client has nfs-common + portmap installed? [16:39] Ubuntuer: yes. It doesn't matter if you're on a livecd. [16:40] do i do this with "sudo apt-get testdisk"? [16:40] llutz: it's a NAS box, I'm not sure how to double check it. Samba shares are visible [16:40] or "sudo apt-get install testdisk"? [16:40] is somekind of program [16:40] llutz: client packages are inslalled [16:41] like Fl Studio 9 but [16:41] for ubuntu? [16:41] Ubuntuer, sudo apt-get install testdisk [16:41] maybe it is mount -t nfs -onolock ip:/dir/ destdir [16:41] anybody help me in installing tweetdeck in ubuntu ??

[16:45] daniel1, no its not there [16:45] did you try with the terminal [16:46] kapcom01_: /etc/samba/smb.conf [16:46] llutz: 2049/tcp closed nfs [16:46] alex_t: no nfsd listening though [16:46] daniel1, now see here http://www.tweetdeck.com/desktop/ when you click "download now its free" it just reads as installing and does nothing [16:46] llutz: Thanks. Gotta rtfm on NAS administration, I guess. [16:47] hey! I'm trying to open audio files, but player says that the stream is too big? What does this mean? [16:47] aeon-ltd, i am looking this file right now and it doesnt have anything for the folders im sharing.. I also created another one and nothing changed on this file.. it must be somewhere else in home folder because it doesn need root persmission [16:48] techbreak: is not your pc [16:48] is the server or the webpage [16:48] kapcom01_: are you sure, its usually appended at the bottom [16:48] i discovered that i have the same problem than you [16:48] it does nothing [16:48] daniel1, is not your pc? what does that mean? please be clear [16:49] man [16:49] aeon-ltd yes im sure, i have gedit opened and didnt detect any change..

[16:55] how can I make ubuntu automatically mute the speakers on startup? [16:56] press the mute key, on your keyboard [16:56] My friend just sent me then over email, worked fine on his computer and evey else mp3 file that i have works. I tried it on VLC, rhythmbox and movie player [16:56] or turn of the speakers. [16:56] !enter | Daniel1 [16:56] Daniel1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [16:57] guitar-maniac: maybe it's not actually an mp3... maybe he just renamed it mp3 [16:57] uman: do u mean to mute login sound only? [16:58] sv: I prefer to just mute the speakers [16:58] guitar-maniac: what does "file foo.mp3" say? [16:58] sv: but if there is no way to do that, removing login sound would suffice [16:58] serp: yea, that s a possibility, i dont see why he wuold lie to me about them working on his computer. [16:58] Is there a way to suppress sleep when a specific application is running? Amarok for instance, doesn't suppress sleep when playing music. [16:58] guitar-maniac: he's probably not lying... his player might just be more tollerant [16:58] Thats weird; I just ran ps -A and there are a lot of "failsafeX...." [16:59] glaucous, in gnome there's an applet for that [16:59] anyone know of a good cliboard manager for linux, i have been using ditto clipboard manger in windows, i just need ot to keep up with a history of my clipboard [16:59] uman: if you just want to remove login sound or associated sounds System->Sound and under Sound effects change Sound theme to no sounds [16:59] what is the name of the ubuntu variant built with all the non-free but essential desktop stuff?

Now when i try to SSH in it crashes the box and makes the shares un-avaliable. What should i look at if SSH'ing in is crashing the thing? [17:03] Ubuntuer, sorry i dont know what that means, i was just helping u install the program :/ [17:03] llutz: and what do i have to look in that to see that it is isn't normal mp3?

The second is connected through VGA and has a 1680x1050 resolution, but the nvidia control panel shows 1280x1024 as max available resolution. How can I set 1680x1050?

[17:13] affirm [17:14] david506: it will no change; me being too cautious. [17:14] i have uninstalled/reinstalled them already with no luck [17:14] rottik9: you must reinstall ubuntu [17:14] jrib, so if I let it just sit at the login screen it eventualy bugs out and i get some odd messages across the screen that look like "[82962.0560046] EDAC MCO : UE page 0x0 offset, grain 536870912, row 4 label ":" i3200 UE" [17:14] david506: /join #ubuntu-kernel [17:14] david506: ask there [17:14] Daniel, how can I?

[17:15] how can i build gparted with out documentation. i dont know how to find a list of the rules i can pass into make or ./configure [17:15] The optical drive is not working [17:15] * slyboots starts to kick NXClient about the place [17:15] You bloody *suck* [17:15] ResQue: ./configure --help [17:15] how's laptop [17:15] ResQue, just read the configure script or run ./configure --help [17:15] how's laptop? [17:15] can i format the HD somehow? [17:16] you can do a low level format typing this: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda [17:17] theres no need to use 'urandom' /dev/zero will do :) [17:17] and technically thats not really a 'low level format' but it will whipe out the HD. [17:17] i prefer urandom, is safer. [17:17] Hello, I'm having troubles installing ubuntu using wubi on my sony vaio f11. Does anyone know where the temporary files wubi downloads are stored so I can delete them and try again? [17:17] yeah. it will [17:17] if you want secure deletion.. then use a secure deletion tool.. [17:17] ppq, my bad, i type in vi ./configure thats why nothing showed up haha. thanks again [17:18] erUSUL, if I compile a driver against an LTS kernel, will it work with all kernel updates without recompiling ? === corkeyjay is now known as CarkeyJay [17:18] so other than installing the drivers does anyone have any ideas. i dont think its related to drivers due to all the errors coming from Xorg.conf file [17:18] Yautja_cetanu: Do you have the installation CD? [17:19] Daniel1: Well I have one but when I installed ubuntu from that I ran into wierd problems (Something to do with Kernel Panic) where I couldn't boot into it [17:19] I want to install curl on my hardy vps.. how to do that [17:19] so I'd prefer to use Wubi where it just downloads the iso without me having to make a CD [17:19] david506: recompilation may be needed. but you wont have to patch the module and a system like dkms could handle all that automatically [17:19] haagimus, I just joined , so which graphics card? [17:19] !dkms | david506 [17:19] david506: DKMS is Dynamic Kernel Module Support. See https://launchpad.net/dkms for more.

If the system is being used, I wouldn't mess with it until it's not being used [17:22] BluesKaj: using ATI mobility radeon HD5470 === deviantp`away is now known as deviantp [17:22] david506: no problem [17:22] hi, does anybody have a problem with printing from firefox where youve got only US-letter paper size ? [17:23] !away > deviantp [17:23] deviantp, please see my private message [17:23] Hi, I am dual booting ubuntu and vista. This is fun and exciting. [17:23] I'm not sure about this, but if you want gnome back you must uninstall the 10.04 wubi from windows. [17:23] Daniel1: Well I want to uninstall kubuntu and reinstall Ubuntu.... but whenever I try that wubi uses a cached version of the install that fails. I think my iso is corrupt [17:23] mealstrom, try A4 Its the same size [17:23] Daniel1: Yeah I want to do that. But I need to delete the temporary files wubi installs [17:23] haagimus, ifyou instralled the drivers for your ati card , you might want to edit your xorg file and even regenerste a new upadated one , http://ubuntulinux.co.in/blog/ubuntu/ubuntu-9-10/xorg-conf-file-create-on-ubuntu-9-10/ [17:23] jrib, yeah im not gonna mess with it, the weird errors across the login screen are scaring me though, i hope this doesnt blow up!! [17:23] ResQue: i cannt change Usletter - it is inactive [17:24] did you try uninstalling it from control panel? [17:24] BluesKaj, ill give that a shot thanks [17:24] th_: This is linux, do whatever you like :) [17:24] Daniel1: Yes I have tried to reinstall ubuntu about 3 times [17:24] mealstrom, i have no idea sorry [17:24] Daniel1: Each time I uninstall from the control panel... restart and windows 7 is back to normal [17:24] anyone running photoshop cs5 on their ubuntu system? I sick of using virtualbox =/ [17:24] tnx anyway [17:25] ResQue: mealstrom A4 is not the same size as US letter [17:25] Daniel1: But when I install ubuntu again with wubi. Instead of downloading the whole iso again. It installs it in about 2 minutes [17:25] erUSUL, really i thought it was [17:25] Yautja_cetanu, using wubi ? [17:25] BluesKaj: yes downloaded from http://wubi-installer.org/ [17:25] doesnt wubi have an uninstaller? [17:25] i think you must use CCleaner for delete temporary files [17:26] CarkeyJay: Yes it does, I'm looking to remove temporary files so I can try re-installing cleanly [17:26] !puregnome | Yautja_cetanu [17:26] Yautja_cetanu: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [17:26] I want to install curl on my hardy vps.. how to do that [17:26] is there a way to verify what window manager is loaded? [17:26] oh i thought it would uninstall everything [17:26] Yautja_cetanu, you have to remove wubi as well, otherwise all the config files are still there, hence the 2 min reinstall , nothing changes [17:26] Hallo, I cannot get CUPS running on a Hardy server. Even as root on localhost, it gives me 403 when trying to do administrative stuff, e.g. delete printers. How do I fix this? [17:27] Yautja_cetanu: See my private message [17:27] hi [17:27] BluesKaj: ok I'll try that [17:27] AbhiJit: Hi [17:27] Daniel1, :) [17:27] Anyway; Im having some issues with Ubuntu.. [17:27] Daniel1, whynot share your suggestions with the room ? [17:28] what suggestion? [17:28] th_: you can choose it at login [17:28] Has anyone here ever heard of puppy linux? [17:28] Right now; my machine is connected to a amp via HDMI' which is connected to my TV [17:28] But if the TV/Amp is not switched on or switched off; I lose the display totally [17:28] the only way to fix it is to SSH in or blind-login at the console and restart gdm [17:28] Somelauw, yah [17:28] Is there any support or howto to boot ubuntu server "the installer" over RIPL/RPL? [17:28] Now; since this supposed to be a media-center.. this isnt exactly a great solution [17:29] nothingspecial, yea... is it possible to have 2 running? i mean i did install openbox but my confs doesnt seem to affect enviroment :S [17:29] BluesKaj: It's a personal question [17:29] Somelauw: /j #puppylinux [17:29] BluesKaj, dunno how it worked this time but i reinstalled the ATI pro drivers again and the display went to crap when i moved to the TTY console to try the fix you gave me and when i rebooted the display was all fixed up [17:29] obconf? rc.xml menu.xml? [17:29] BluesKaj, I'm gonna make a backup of my Xorg.conf for future incidents, thanks for the help man [17:29] BluesKaj: How do I uninstall wubi? Its just an exe file I downloaded from the internet? [17:30] haagimus, that's the way it's supposed to work :) [17:30] BluesKaj: Its not in Add/Remove programs. (Note: I've uninstalled "Ubuntu" from add/remove programs) [17:30] nothingspecial, obconf [17:30] BluesKaj, of course lol if it didnt work like that it wouldnt be a computer.......or it would be windoze [17:30] Yautja_cetanu: Boot windows, go to control panel > add/remove software, remove wubi [17:30] Yautja_cetanu: You can do it, using the same installation CD. Or my favorite. Format!!! [17:31] Yautja_cetanu, remove the installer as well [17:31] IdleOne: He tried it, and it doesn't works [17:31] th_: Are you using openbox "within" anything else? Gnome, Lxde? Just choose openbox session at login. [17:31] IdleOne: Its not there [17:31] hola alguien habla español [17:31] !es [17:31] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[17:31] si yo [17:32] hola que tal [17:32] Using Virtual Box, I can get many MAC addresses and one machine can be assigned multiple addresses.. How can I do that without using it? I mean with IP ALIASING, I can assign a new IP but MAC address is still the same? ALso, I have only one NIC [17:32] nothingspecial, gnome. i chose openbox gnome session. theres no other options [17:32] !es | loculinux [17:32] loculinux: please see above [17:32] Hi [17:32] shadyabhi: ifconfig can be used to change MAC [17:32] Roonux: Hi [17:33] How does one propose a package and become the maintaner ? [17:33] xerox1: What your name? [17:33] erUSUL: BUt, I want something like eth0 as some X MAC address... But, for eth0:1 I want to have different MAC address [17:33] !motu | david506 [17:33] david506: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [17:33] as far as I can tell it is not in C:\Temp [17:33] Want a way to have constantly changing IP address in ubuntu; anyone know a relatively simple way to do it? Someone suggested foxyproxy [17:33] th_: Not sure, I don`t use gnome. I would think that gnome is your problem though. You may have to edit your xinitrc [17:33] I made a mistake a i ran a "dd of=/dev/sda bs=16k" instead of dd of=/dev/sdb bs=16k, so I don't have any valid partition table now, can I do something ? :/ [17:33] david506, ask in #ubuntu-dev [17:34] is there anything that needs to be added to allow static routes to work? any sort of modprobe or anything? [17:34] nothingspecial, yes thats what i thought. what are you using? [17:34] Roonux: use testdisk or gpart to recover the partition table. [17:34] Its not in Users/Myname/Application data [17:34] Roonux: You can use Gparted, from the ubuntu CD [17:34] th_: lxde, not used openbox for a while :) [17:34] Roonux: but 16 kb will corrupt more than just the partition table ... [17:34] printer issues [17:34] I can't find any *.iso files on my computer but wubi still take 2 seconds instead of the large amount of time it should [17:34] Roonux: testdisk [17:34] ok now the resolution issue is fixed but i still have no proprietary drivers in use therefore i cannot use compiz, can anyone just point me in the right direction to correct that......ATI mobility radeon HD 5470 graphics card [17:34] my computer is still running, i'm looking that way thanks [17:34] nothingspecial, how come? === reid is now known as Guest60142 [17:35] Roonux: note that gpart != gparted [17:35] reid, ask. to channel in general. with details in one line. Guest60142 [17:35] erUSUL, ok ;) [17:35] ikoiko, if you have an isp that gives you a new ip every time you connect and if you use a router, try to find a command that lets the router reconnect. can be a http:// adress thats wget'et or telnet or so. then use cron [17:35] th_: not openbox, or using lxde? [17:35] Yautja_cetanu, look in C:\win32 [17:35] so I'm dual booting and...I'm not sure why. It's fun and all, but why am I doing this? [17:35] nothingspecial, not openbox. i think its pretty good. [17:35] now what do i do [17:35] Roonux: You're welcome. [17:35] hi, is it possible to install a x86_64 chroot from a x86 system??? [17:35] CarkeyJay: you install apps. [17:36] yes, i installed this xchat :) [17:36] good afternoon, cant get a printer to run in ubuntu... [17:36] blackxored, you can install 32 bit software on 64 bit os. but vice versa is not possible as far as i know [17:36] th_ it`s great, but I`m just taking lxde for a spin. I kind of like it [17:36] Can I use aptitude to upgrade from hardy to lucidlynx? is this a recommended upgrade method. [17:36] CarkeyJay: install games. I recommend The Battle for Wesnoth. [17:36] CarkeyJay, nothing wrong with keeping with windows , it's not an either or thing [17:36] AbhiJit, I'm talking about building a chroot [17:36] haha ok, thanks [17:36] and installing programs there [17:36] Guest60142: what printer?

I'm going to try again [17:37] Guest60142: doesn't seem supported.

[17:43] CarkeyJay, I have all my machines dual booting W7 and (k)ubuntu , except the media server it's just kubuntu...may need to dual boot windows on it for netflix tho [17:44] jawadsafi: you need to rerun the final part of the ubuntu setup where it installs grub [17:44] jawadsafi: that's because Windows, being a b-tard, overwritten the MBR. [17:44] I am using Remote Desktop on Ubuntu 10.04 64bit gnome to control my system from outside home. I've Real viewer on Windows 7 and XP Pro SP3. I can connect from Windows to Ubuntu , but there is no screen refresh: I can drag a window on Ubuntu using my mouse in Windows or type into a terminal in Ubuntu from my keyboard in Windows, but the image does not change on Windows. I can request a screen refresh from Windows but the screen does not update. [17:44] allora adesso sono connesso con ubuntu, ma indovinate un po? non riesco ad accedere a 192.168.1.1 da qui. invece, su windows si. e ora indovinate un po ancora? sono connesso ANCHE da windows [17:44] or perhaps grub is retarded for writing to the mbr in the first place [17:44] andycc: alright, I am already there.. the error says nothing than invalid package name. In synaptic i was able to found the package - it is texlive-latex-recommended-doc .. there it is displayed as texlive-recom}ended-doc .. i think the } is the problem but I have no idea how to solve that [17:44] so now I just need to figure out which software does the same things I was doing on windows. [17:45] serp_ andycc.. im not into any MBR and the final part .... help me get the final part [17:45] bakom: "LANG=C sudo apt-get -f install" and paste the error then again [17:45] CarkeyJay: stop! that's the wrong approach. don't recreate your windows life. start from scratch. instead [17:45] serp_ andycc.... i have wubi .... any clue around that ? [17:46] jawadsafi: hmm. Does Wubi have a "repair" option? [17:46] CarkeyJay: you shouldn't try to emulate your Windows usage pattern on a Linux machine. that is doomed to fail. [17:46] andycc.. let me check [17:46] serp oh please tell me what you think I should do [17:46] andycc.. will be back to you after that [17:46] andycc: Maybe [17:47] andycc... flowers [17:47] Hi i'm trying to get the microphone to playback through my speakers but i'm having no luck. I'm using 10.04 [17:47] jawadsafi: and by flowers, you mean... [17:47] CarkeyJay: instead of thinking "what program does the same as Xx", think about what you want to achieve and find a program for doing that [17:47] Impy: Did you check the drivers? [17:47] andycc... thank you for your help. [17:48] hi [17:48] is there an ubuntu package for gcc that comes with all the dependancies?.

[17:52] Navid: I don't think you know what X11 is. [17:52] Daniel1: Good taste! lol :p [17:52] i dont like team viewer [17:52] lol, we crossed 1337 [17:53] CarkeyJay: you should eventually get familiar with the command line interface, but for now maybe that program will help you [17:53] Navid, read my pm [17:53] andycc, no, perhaps my knowledge about it isn't sufficient. What gave that impression? [17:53] haha! [17:53] I'm trying to set Sigil as the default program to open epub files with and need to put in a special "open with" command. Is there a way to specify "open with this" that I don't know? Because just doing '/opt/sigil/sigil.sh' is giving me an error. [17:53] mantizz: See if "LogMeIn" is for linux and use that, its good software... [17:53] Navid: unless you got the server version, it should already be running once you installed ubuntu [17:53] Navid: X11 is the graphical subsystem on which your desktop is being shown now (unless you're running a CLI-only system, which you probably don't) [17:54] Navid: what are you *really* trying to do? [17:54] Hi i'm trying to get the microphone to playback through my speakers but i'm having no luck. I'm using 10.04 any ideas? [17:54] andycc... im almost a newbie to linux distributions..... recommend me any of the latest distr. that can be installed through (wubi or mint4win) type of installers [17:54] Maybe there's a symbol or something that applies the thing I am right clicking to the end of the command? [17:54] andycc, I had the impression that X11 was a graphical like Gnome and KDE. [17:54] Are you implying that Gnome and KDE run on X11? [17:54] jawadsafi: Ubuntu or Mint. [17:54] Could someone help me with the cairo docks' netspeed applet, it doesn't catch my speeds on wlan0??? [17:54] Impy: What kind of microphone are you using? [17:54] andycc.... actually the ubuntu 10.04 LTS doesnt have my nvidia's driver and sound card's driver packages [17:55] Navid: X11 is low-level. [17:55] Alright [17:55] Navid: GNOME/KDE is high level. [17:55] Hm, actually, looking at this error, it looks as though sigil is choking on opening a file that has a space in the name. [17:55] Daniel1 It's just a cheapy one from poundland but it works. I've recoreded sound in the soundrecorder but i just want it to playback through speakers.

Puppy would be second, but it chokes on my video card.

I have just had my screen go twice width then back a few times and I have inluded my Xlog http://pastebin.com/MjdxMEHQ can anyone see why this might be happening?

I've looked and looked it use to be really easy to do but they changed everything :( [17:57] can someone help me with ubuntuStudio screensavers ?? [17:57] Wubi leaves temporary files in the User/Appdata/Temp folder in a folder called something like py****.tmp where **** looked like random letters [17:57] it works now [17:57] andycc... does the opensuse, debian and the other new platforms have the installers like wubi or mint4win [17:57] andycc.... well i have an old system hehe ... d865glc ... [17:58] my postgres stopped running 'automaticaly'. it was running automatically before. plese help me to again set it like so that it will again run every time 'automatically' [17:58] jawadsafi: maybe OpenSuSE, but I don't know. For old systems you might as well try Puppy, which runs fully in RAM if you have more than 256mb and can be installed along Windows. Without partitioning. [17:58] Impy: I just recommend you use System Check [17:58] Daniel1: Thanks for you help I think your suggestion helps. (I both clearered windows temp files and deleted them manually [17:58] AbhiJit you need to give us a bit more info about that' [17:58] AbhiJit some errors from one of the log files is likely.

I have some problems with the vissual effects in Ubuntu 9.10 [18:03] AbhiJit that's the error from your client; it's just telling you that it isn't started which you seem to already know. what you need to do is find the errors in /var/log/ you can then see what's happening there. You can also try running the init script to start it; I'm just installing it now to check what script. [18:03] delarue, ok [18:03] hello [18:03] Hi i'm trying to get the microphone to playback through my speakers but i'm having no luck. I'm using 10.04 any ideas? [18:03] i have a question [18:04] delarue, how to start it from commadn line? [18:04] haw to make Xubuntu to see the net [18:04] Hi [18:05] How can I make a "special command" for the default choice to open a program work if the file name has spaces in the path? [18:05] ponimanie: What do you mean by "see" ? [18:05] Hey all, can anyone tell me what the best and free IRC client for Ubuntu is? [18:05] How can I force all network interfaces down or off? [18:05] Dizzo: I like XChat. [18:05] i mean that over compiuters to see me in the net [18:06] AbhiJit; you want to run the proper init script which does that; I just want to check how it's set up on Ubuntu... if you do it that way then you'll get exactly the environment which is failing to start automatically. [18:06] i went home [18:06] now i am home [18:06] delarue, there is one postgresql-8.4 in /etc/init.d but its in green colour [18:06] because in Xubuntu their is no net suport [18:07] AbhiJit ; run sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start [18:07] RandBritta: ok, I'll try that one! [18:08] ponimanie: Yes, xubuntu hasn't got much when it comes to network. You mean "Windows Network" == Samba/SMBFS/CIFS, right ? [18:08] AbhiJit ; green means executable if I remember right; it's a good thing from this point of view [18:08] delarue, error! http://paste.ubuntu.com/499838/ [18:08] :) [18:09] When i activate the visual effects in my ubuntu 9.10 after 40 seconds my computer is getting freeze. What i can do? [18:09] this sounds bad;; 2010-09-24 22:37:54 IST CONTEXT: line 82 of configuration file "/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/pg_hba.conf" [18:09] yah [18:09] does anyone know a distribution that allows you to authorize use of files that dont have the executable bit thing. this is annoying on a level that cannot be humanely expressed in words [18:09] daniel don' do it again :) [18:09] delarue, if i reinstall then same problem may occured what to do? [18:09] Hi i'm trying to get the microphone to playback through my speakers but i'm having no luck. I'm using 10.04 any ideas? [18:10] AbhiJit did you change something [18:10] delarue, no notihng with postgres [18:10] what!! [18:10] no one is helping me. Impy too.! [18:10] daniel1, if your pc can't run effects so don't run tis [18:11] gottreu: 'sudo ifconfig eth0 down' will turn off eth0. Something like sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop should stop them all... [18:11] delarue, should i try reinstalling it? [18:11] could you run "ls -l /etc/postgresql/8.4/main/pg_hba.conf" [18:11] ok [18:11] anyone? tried using WINE for some things. Executable bit rule cannot be circumvented. Need one way or another to use these files [18:11] delarue, -rw-r----- 1 postgres postgres 3824 2010-09-22 13:01 /etc/postgresql/8.4/main/pg_hba.conf [18:11] bank account [18:12] coal: can you say more about the actual problem you're trying to solve? [18:12] I am trying to unpack a multipart rar movie. I installed unrar in the package manager. [18:13] But now when I extract the .rar file it looks like it's doing it. But the avi file is not where I specified to unpack to! === Tombar_ is now known as Tombar [18:13] Getting frustrated. [18:13] lucenut: Me too. [18:13] AbhiJit: sudo sha1sum /etc/postgresql/8.4/main/pg_hba.conf [18:13] God, can't GNOME panel have true transparency? [18:13] lucenut: rar is a funky format. You just have to accept it's funkiness if you're going to download pirated video. [18:14] Hmm. It works in windows. [18:14] okay, so i have a few .exe im trying to run in WINE, but their not certified programing like EVERY-FRIGGIN-THING FOR WINE. cant run them due to security rules that cant be worked around. part of ubuntu is that you cannot, under any tense, run unapproved ( >:( ) programing [18:14] Impy^, open alsamixer , make sure all ctrls are up to the max/80%min . use the arrow keys to navigate and the M key to mute or unmute any ctrls you want use or not . [18:14] delarue, http://pastebin.com/qYjq3vCP [18:14] lucenut: unrar isn't very cooperative about putting stuff where *you* want. Usually is extracts to the current directory. If not, check out the 'e' option... [18:14] if my audio preferences thingy is missing from the panel, what can i do? nothing is wrong with it but that; i can access it via system>etc>etc [18:15] coal: Ubuntu doesn't execute untrusted software of Windows. [18:15] and it is angering me in unholy ways. I AM WILLING TO BOTHER GETTING ANOTEHR VERSION OF LINUX [18:15] i know [18:15] Is there a package for flash player for firefox? [18:15] I will learn a lot just sitting in here. [18:16] CarkeyJay, yah [18:16] coal: Chill. If you have an XP cd somewhere, just load it up in virtualbox. [18:16] i found it :| [18:16] coal, which version of ubuntu do you have? [18:16] ServerTech|Lapto: Yea, there is. If you add ubuntu-restricted-extras it will get it and lots of other goodies. [18:16] coal: maybe you need help from #winehq ? [18:16] if my audio preferences thingy is missing from the panel, what can i do??? i can access it via system>etc>etc so there is nothing wrong with it otherwise [18:16] AbhiJit: your file there is different from mine; I think somehow it must have been changed. [18:16] Hi - i have HDD 2*40GB on it. i want to format each partition and leave it intacted if we talk about GBs. [18:16] how? ;) [18:16] 10.something.... also, if i can find the windows disc kyle [18:16] delarue, ohh. :( what is there i can do now? [18:16] lucenut, use unp to uncompress most compressed files , then access the folder that is created to use the app/video [18:16] #winehq [18:17] Abhijit; you may try reinstall. or just check if there's an editor backup file there and copy it into place. [18:17] Abhijit or just edit the line which is failing.. [18:17] wattzzzzzz, 1999. called - it wants its HDDs back [18:17] DhulKarnain: eeeeeeeeh? [18:17] DhulKarnain: i'm not here to joke [18:17] Dont throw something at me but can i install ubuntu 10.04 from iso without a cd and USB stick ? (extract -chroot and stuff ) ? [18:17] coal: if you can find a windows-cd around your home, install Virtualbox-OSE. Then you'll have a full-blown windows machine for the rare times you need it. And if you have any modern processor, it will be some 80 or 90% the speed of native. [18:17] delarue, but i dunno which line is wrong. may i show you that pg_hba.conf ? [18:18] i want 2x40gb on hdd... with both NTFS [18:18] srih4ri: You can netboot-install if you really want to, but it's been awhile so I coudln't really walk you through it. [18:18] DhulKarnain, 1999? Back then my harddrive was 4gb :P [18:18] AbhiJit; sure; my line 82 goes: local all all ident [18:18] delarue, ok wait === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [18:18] * wattzzzzzz slaps ubuntu [18:19] thanks kyle. ill look for the blasted thing. [18:19] coal: gparted [18:19] delarue: audio settings app is missing from my panel; how do i get it back? [18:19] Kyle__: will try to find details.. tks .. [18:19] delarue, http://paste.ubuntu.com/499842/ [18:19] pp__ right click -> add to panel [18:19] srih4ri, from where to where ? [18:19] pp__: it is part of the indicator applet [18:19] thanks suprengr [18:20] delarue: yes it is, and it's missing. i can't add it just like that [18:20] do you know what would make 'shutdown' and 'restart' in the menu log out instead of shutting down/restarting? happens with me after an update. [18:20] pp__: add the Indicator applet [18:20] BluesKaj: from my hardisk partion to another partition ... [18:20] * Kyle__ sighs. [18:20] nvm [18:20] do someone know how to update ROM IMAGE BIOS? [18:21] idleone: i have added the indicator applet :) it shows all the things it normally should, except for audio [18:21] I'm trying to install the flashplugin-installer package on 10.04 but it's giving a 404 error when it tries to download the plugin itself during the configuration stage. Anyone know what's going on? [18:21] pp__, you want sound icon on panel? [18:21] AbhiJit yeah [18:21] pp__: did you uninstall indicator-sound? [18:21] pp__ does your sound work? [18:21] pp__, i have the command wait [18:22] delarue, trism i didn't uninstall indicator-sound and yeah my sound works and i can access the settings via system>etc>etc [18:22] srih4ri, doubt it can be done , I've heard this request before , but dunno of any procedures to make it work [18:22] IdleOne, i have that command added in my other accounts start up now i am in admin account can i see that command from here and tell to pp__?? [18:22] AbhiJit sounds sweet :) standing by [18:22] hi how can i log as root ? [18:22] when i typed su [18:22] is there a way / a tool /a package in Ubuntu to suck out and save current bios settings (and maybe to reload from same as well)? [18:22] and put the right password [18:23] it said auth fail [18:23] my notebook is nc6400 ubuntu 10.04 === ioctl is now known as potato [18:23] pp__: are you on 10.04? in previous versions it was in the notification area, gnome-volume-control-applet [18:23] pp__, sadly that command is not in this account but in other account's startup ap! [18:23] Oh man [18:23] IboS, The info at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo doesn't answer your question? [18:23] ubuntu has nice visual effects [18:23] trism, yes thats it pp__ add it to startup [18:24] evenin' all! [18:24] do someone know how to update ROM IMAGE BIOS? [18:24] my notebook is nc6400 ubuntu 10.04 [18:24] How can I incrementally backup a large file? I have a single 70GB file that only has minor changes at a time and need to back it up to an external hard drive. I've trued RSYNC but it chokes every time. Any suggestions? [18:24] oh i did not see this page [18:24] abhijit add what to startup? gnome-volume-control-applet? [18:24] BluesKaj: There is a way to do it in archlinux http://bit.ly/a1ZpCd .. was looking if there is some solution in ubuntu .. as i just messed my last CD while burning [18:25] pp__, yes [18:25] jimlovell777: is it a binary file? [18:25] pp__, try running that command from terminal and see what happends [18:25] serp_: Pretty much, it's a single Truecrypt partition. [18:25] IboS: If you wanna activate Root user, type in Terminal sudo passwd root. [18:26] IboS, Wasn't trying to be sarcastic. It wasn't clear to me whether your situation was covered or something a bit different. [18:26] IboS, But if you just want to know how to enable root login, that page should tell you. [18:26] ok [18:26] abhijit i got the gnome one now, but it looks stupid next to the other icons :) it works and all, and thanks for that, but i'm really cravin' the one that comes with the indicator-applet :( [18:26] delarue, ?? [18:26] in fact i want to login directly as root in the terminal [18:27] pp__, me too! [18:27] AbhiJit did you paste link to your file; I didn't see it. [18:27] pp__, i also wanted that! [18:27] AbhiJit please repeat; [18:27] delarue, http://paste.ubuntu.com/499842/ [18:27] Ibos: So type sudo su and type the respective password [18:27] abhijit well damn :s [18:27] yah [18:27] srih4ri, this is abit old but it might work , https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/linux-upgrade.html [18:27] ubuntu server wont install without cdrom drive installed [18:28] robint91, thats a question or statement? [18:28] I have and cf card which I preped with u-bootin [18:28] hi [18:28] !tab | pp__ [18:28] and installed it into my mini server [18:28] pp__: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [18:28] AbhiJit; try to change md5 to ident in line 82 (the one that starts localhost) [18:28] which has no cdrom driver [18:28] delarue, ok let me check [18:29] how do solve this problem [18:29] how can i erase the chat history in the Pdgin Client [18:29] i have no friend [18:29] BluesKaj: thanks for lookin up , but that method downloads all the things.. wont use my iso .. [18:29] AbhiJit, thanks ;) [18:29] As far as my flash problem, the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/616670 describes my problem, but the listed workaround doesn't seem to do anything (or make any sense to me). [18:29] pp__: are you sure you added the correct indicator applet? there are two, it's not indicator-applet-session but just indicator-applet; otherwise, can you pastebin: apt-cache policy indicator-sound; [18:29] anyone using xchat know how to get rid of joins/parts in channel? [18:29] pp__, :) [18:29] delarue, same error [18:30] delarue, i saved the file and then run the commadn to restart postgres [18:30] CarkeyJay: I'd say use Pidgin, but I doubt that's the answer you're looking for. [18:30] AbhiJit; sorry; change "localhost" to be "local" [18:30] pp__: okay: sudo apt-get install indicator-sound; [18:30] it could be, this is the first one i tried [18:30] thanks andy [18:30] delarue, ok and md5 to ident too? [18:30] so ubuntu server iso -> unetbootin -> cf-card -> cf to ide adapter -> old mini server [18:31] i have prior experience in programming, but only in q basic, is there a really easy to learn programming language for ubuntu? [18:31] srih4ri, well , what the difference , what if it works ..keep the iso as a backup for when you get some blank cds [18:31] install hangs at detecting cdrom drive [18:31] IboS, i usually just do 'sudo -s' to get a prompt with superuser privileges. [18:31] CarkeyJay: note that Pidgin is not just an IRC client, it's a full-featured IM client that's better than Empathy. [18:31] CarkeyJay, /set irc_conf_mode on [18:31] srih4ri, what's the diference :) [18:31] AbhiJit and keep the last change suggested as well; line should read # "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only [18:31] local all all ident [18:31] BluesKaj: Bandwidth is the diff ;) [18:31] o h m y g o d ! ! ! [18:32] delarue, it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [18:32] how is pidgin better than empathy? [18:32] OK. Gotta go people. [18:32] srih4ri, bummer :( [18:32] Good luck. [18:32] trism thanks!!! [18:32] awesome thanks phpero [18:32] How can I convert a *.ogv file to a *.mpg file ? (I tried ffmpeg but got an error) [18:32] :) [18:32] IboS, But I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, so maybe that won't solve your problem. That isn't technically the same as enabling logging in to the root account. [18:32] AbhiJit ; great; gotta parse those error messages carefully.. they're sometimes obtuse, but they really help if you think about them long enough.. [18:33] delarue, now i am getting that world famouse problem which was solved after doing ident to md5. but sicne we now done again md5 to ident - ident authentication failed [18:33] can anyone point me to the easiest to learn programming language that functions well in ubuntu? [18:33] BluesKaj: either i am goig to get new CD/Usb stick tommow morning or do the method u gave tonight .. just searching for alternatives till then :) [18:33] hylian, python === Calinou is now known as LinuxSam [18:33] srih4ri, good luck [18:33] hylian: Python. [18:34] oh, too late, === LinuxSam is now known as Calinou [18:34] AbhiJit ; you can probably experiment with md5 again; the problem was that "localhost" instead of "local" [18:34] AbhiJit Thanx, is python cross platformable? i would like to write eventually for the windows platform as well... [18:34] srih4ri, research is always good [18:34] hylian: yes. [18:34] Thank you! [18:34] hylian, ask in #programming #python #php #java etc [18:34] BluesKaj: yes :) [18:34] hello [18:34] delarue, done but no luck now again trying in #postgres for help! [18:34] python is corss-platform [18:35] hypermodern, yes python is cross-platformable [18:35] anyone here knows mondoarchive ? [18:36] Thanks Blueskaj [18:36] ubuntu or bununtu? [18:36] 1mondo [18:36] !mondo [18:36] hypermodern, http://www.python.org/download/windows/ [18:36] hypermodern, i said the same thing but you left lol [18:36] vincent_: ¿¿ [18:36] so, ubuntu or fedora? [18:36] vincent_: use what you want.. [18:37] I tried both and prefer ubuntu, although I don't know why. [18:37] I have a thinkpad R60 with ati radeon, and I understand that compiz+flash isn't ideal, but whenever I play flash or even html5 in full-screen my CPU temperature gets to 70+, the GPU temp gets to 80+, and of course HD temp rises also to 50+. is it just me? do ubuntu/linux users avoid using compiz? [18:37] not easy to make a choice, wine dont run without crash on fedora, but i love the blue redhat [18:38] priXon: blame html5 and flash [18:38] priXon: No, you avoid using flash [18:38] vincent_: if identical versions of wine act differently on ubuntu and fedora.. you should proberly file some bug reports [18:38] proberly? [18:40] ubottu | python [18:40] python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org/ [18:45] Is there a solution for adding a monitor in twinview mode displayed by a remote server? I have two monitors right now and lack displayports. [18:46] is there a way to check if a system requires restart (due to package updates) other than checking /etc/motd? [18:46] looking to test from remote script [18:46] but I can't avoid using flash (youtube, dailyshow,...) [18:47] tvon: i think that motd is generated from some commands.. so see whats making the motd/commands I looked into it once.. but i dont rember the commands it was running [18:47] tvon, same here... cant think of it off the top of my head [18:47] not sure where to check for that... maybe package maintainer docs [18:48] martinaw: claify that a bit more. You have a local pc with 2 monitors... [18:49] Dr_Willis: I have two computers and two monitors. I want to "connect" both monitors to the same X-server. [18:49] like a 'screen -r'? [18:49] Hey all... I'm currently using mIRC in Windows. What's one of the better irc clients on the Linux side? [18:49] Dr_Willis: And I only have one VGA-port in each computer [18:49] Trian3: irssi is the winner [18:49] Trian3: irssi [18:49] m [18:49] Trian3, irssi or xchat [18:49] Trian3: console: irssi, gui: xchat I guess [18:50] Trian3, I prefer xchat :) [18:50] or be the man and use bitchx [18:50] Ok, I'll take a look. I was considering xchat, but hadn't looked at irssi yet. [18:50] martinaw: 2 computers each has 1 monitor? you want to clone the X display of PC1 onto pc2 ? [18:50] soreau? blakkheim? [18:50] priXon: yes? [18:50] Dr_Willis: no, not clone - I just want to expand it as if I had two monitors connected to one computer with twinview [18:51] Hi, I am trying to get Flash to work on Chrome, but when I try to download the files, I get "Your Google Chrome browser already includes the latest Adobe® Flash® Player built-in." Help? [18:51] konversation, Trian3 , but it's manually oriented , you have to add the servers manually [18:51] hmm, the 'system restart required' isn't added to the motd until someone logs in.... [18:51] priXon: Surely you jest with 'the daily show'. So let it download with flash installed and play the video with mplayer /tmp/Flash* [18:51] priXon: in-browser video players suck, and so does flash [18:51] martinaw: you can use syngery to sort of have controll of both monitors from one PC. but i dont know of a way to run 2 seperate X servers and have them behave as one. [18:51] usually, can mac user read ogv file ? [18:52] arussel: not unless they have some extra codecs installed [18:52] tvon: thanks [18:52] Trian3, what they didn't tell you about irssi is that it's for konsole/terminal use [18:52] BluesKaj: hey, I said it was for the console [18:52] ei [18:52] captain informative answers over here [18:53] tvon, oh sorry [18:53] and if anyone cares, /var/run/reboot-required seems to exist if a reboot is required.... [18:54] whats the best way to backup a dvd in ubuntu? [18:54] Does somebody know an applet like Run Application.. but a box in the panel where you type commands? [18:54] dont like giving kids the original disk [18:54] Is anyone here using an ATSC tuner under ubuntu? [18:54] uLinux: like quicksilver? [18:54] uLinux: I recall having such a thing ages ago.. not sure if its in the repos or where i got it from [18:54] uLinux: kinda, theres dmenu but its limited to things in /usr/bin and no aliases [18:54] hi, I was wondering how to run proxy in ubuntu. In windows, I use u91(ultrasurf) to open blocked sites [18:54] uLinux: i just normally use gnome-do or similer these days [18:54] uLinux: GnomeDo? [18:55] ah, box in the panel... [18:55] tvon: nitpicking, but thats a dock iirc [18:55] Epiphany: Try k3b. I haven't found a good Gnome program that will make clean ISOs of DVDs. [18:55] uLinux: whats so hard about alt-f2 for gmrun? [18:56] * tvon thinks 'cat /dev/dvd > backup.iso' still works, fwiw [18:56] hallo ... does anyone know how to change the scroll wheel speed in ubuntu? [18:56] *scroll wheel lines [18:56] tvon: it seems to depend on the dvd disk... :) [18:56] !proxy | kkkkk [18:57] tvon, Epiphany: k3b runs it through libdvdcss, which makes the output more double-click friendly in things like VLC and XBMC. [18:57] aha [18:57] dajhorn will do thanks [18:57] Epiphany: Welcome. Remember to enable the medibuntu repo. [18:57] * kkkkk ahh..

[19:04] MarderIII: thanks agai [19:04] yautja_cetanu2: tried the monitor app in GNOME? [19:04] * tvon tips his hat [19:04] n [19:04] egadw: Is that "monitor preferences" from the status bar at the top? If so yes [19:05] egadw: The wierd thing is that it is the external monitor that works. The monitor on my laptop doesn't work [19:05] hi, i'm trying to use aria2 to download a file, but the download won't start..for example i use: aria2c http://www.google.it and it stays to [#1 SIZE:0B/0B CN:1 SPD:0Bs]..no way to go on.. [19:05] Dr_Willis: i dont use gnome-do [19:05] When I click on nm-applet, it says "NetworkManager is not running..." I tried to restart network-manager, I tried to press Enable Networking , and nothing happen, is anybody can explain why is that? [19:05] aeon-ltd: im lazy sorry [19:05] Ok, so I'm trying to install xchat along with some extras. When I do so, it tells me that 9 packages will be held back and not upgraded. What's that about and will those packages install themselves automatically at a later date when the issue affecting them has been resolved? [19:06] Trian3: sudo apt-get update , try again [19:06] zatan, are you dual-booting? [19:06] mkaay, no just ubuntu thats it [19:07] I have just read stuff [19:07] Xangua: Will try that... What if held back packages remain? What do I do about those? [19:07] I might have Xinerama enabled... I don't know where I would find out if that is enabled nor how to disable it [19:07] Trian3: then show the message you get of the tetminal [19:07] yautja_cetanu2: and your video chipset is? [19:08] Nvidia 330M GT [19:08] I have currently enabled the nvidia drivers [19:08] Hi all, can anybody help me please or tell me a channel where I can find help? [19:08] priXon: I get high temperatures on my forehead when people think that compiz is doing something wrong when flash fails === jason is now known as Guest67230 === Guest67230 is now known as Xase [19:09] yautja_cetanu2: then you should run the 'nvidia-settings' tool and tweak the displays how you want. [19:09] hello [19:09] manfredrasta: call 911¿¿ [19:09] thanxs [19:09] people i need linux server name [19:09] yautja_cetanu2: and after you get them both set up. You may want to restart teh X server. Just uysuing the 'apply' button dosent work 100% properly for me [19:09] what is the recommended size of the reserved space (for documents etc.) when putting Ubuntu on a USB stick? [19:09] people i need linux server name [19:10] frxstrem: it would depend on your needs and qwhat you do [19:10] Dr_Willis: I have. But it won't detect my laptop display. The Nvidia settings say I only have 1 screen (the external HMDI screen) [19:10] jawadsafi: thats vague... [19:10] jawadsafi: uname -n [19:10] yautja_cetanu2: perhaps play with the fn-XXX keys thats on the laptop to tottle the displays.. also boot up the laptop with the monuitor hooked up [19:11] MarderIII ... sorry ? [19:11] How do I write wickly the name of the person I want to talk? for ex: Dr_Willis: bla bla bla ??? [19:11] !tab [19:11] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:11] Dr_Willis: I think i need to disable Xinerama... [19:11] jawadsafi: command "uname -n" gives hostname [19:11] yautja_cetanu2: Nvidia dual monitors setup use 'twinview' that is a extended xinerama feature. [19:11] Dr_Willis: I have booted up the laptop with both monitors in. When I do that I get a display on the external monitor [19:11] uname -n [19:11] what happened ? [19:11] how can i know if the Direct Rendering is active? And how to change it? [19:12] ubottu: thanks [19:12] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [19:12] im not into any commands sorry [19:12] forgot all the irc stuff [19:12] Dr_Willis: But the display on the laptop is the one that is off. Toggling FN keys just changes the resolution of my external display [19:12] yautja_cetanu2: all i do to get my 2 monitor systems going is plug in the moniotrs.. power up. login, and run 'gksudo nvidia-settings' and tweak the displays to use both monitors.. perhaps yu are are just using the tools wrong. [19:12] jawadsafi: ooops i thought you meant your linux server hostname, not the irc server hostname [19:13] Dr_Willis: I just need it to install and run some simple applications, such as IM and web browsers etc., on a computer that is not mine while on vacation (and I have a 4 GB USB stick) [19:13] frxstrem: You can always enlarge it later. [19:13] frxstrem: 4gb will be tight.. start with 512mb perhaps. [19:13] Dr_Willis: okay, thanks :D [19:13] Dr_Willis: I'm sure I'm using the tools wrong. Its wierd because like I said. I can get ubuntu to display on either my laptop screen or external but not both. (In "configure: TwinView is greyed out) [19:14] yautja_cetanu2: so you only see one monitor shown in the 'box' at the top right? [19:14] correct [19:15] can anyone help me sort out this Wine error? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/3AaX74xj [19:15] yautja_cetanu2: you are using DVI? VGA? what connectors?

[19:17] !language [19:17] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:17] censoring the internet isnt a good thing [19:17] slgma: Failure. Many folks here are well under the age of 16. :-) [19:17] but ok [19:17] ill play ball [19:17] so does anyone know why my nvidiasettings would mess up [19:17] slgma: it's only a bad thing if it's made to be so. [19:17] censorship is always a bad thing [19:17] it impedes freedom [19:17] but anyways [19:18] im more worried about my resolution atm [19:18] slgma: if he tweaked things the wrong way, then yes, it won't look right [19:18] well hes only 2 years old [19:18] he just grabs the mouse [19:18] !enter | slgma [19:18] slgma: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:18] heh [19:18] and walks around with it [19:18] when i turned my pc on today it was in 1024x768 which is far from the max res (1600x1200) [19:18] yautja_cetanu2: you may want to try the command ---> sudo nvidia-xconfig -a === jlime-user is now known as cellardoor [19:19] tried that but without the -a [19:19] slgma: run the nvidia-settings tool? [19:19] hi, can a bad RAM module cause temporary(!) hangs or is this rather unlikely? my Ubuntu 9.10 installation hung today (it did not respond to ping at least) for about six minutes, I saw a "Clocksource tsc unstable" message in the log after it worked again [19:19] i have [19:19] slgma: and you can't switch it back through the system->preferences->monitor? [19:19] I'm wondering about RAM as I got a few "Correctable Non-Mirrored Demand Data ECC" messages yesterday in the log, but those mean ECC worked afaik.. [19:19] slgma: double check to make sure you're still using the nvidia module and not nv [19:19] gnea it only shows 1152x864 [19:19] (running memtest86+ anyway atm) [19:19] k sec [19:20] Dr_Willis: Ok I did that and Got a "Validation errors:" followed by the last line being "New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:20] says driver nvidia [19:20] in xorg.conf [19:20] mcsmurf: possibly, though unlikely [19:20] yautja_cetanu2: try restarting the X server now. [19:20] slgma: also, the first amendment doesn't bleed over onto all areas of the internet. if it did, then the USA would be too powerful. [19:20] how to install most used compressed (archive) formats to my ubuntu 10.04 to work with the default archive manager (file-roller) ? [19:20] Dr_Willis: How do I do that? Restart all of ubuntu? [19:20] i thought freedom was universal [19:20] not just american [19:20] Do I need to do anything in particular to make my USB mouse work with my Ubuntu laptop? I know the mouse works. Nothing happening in Ubuntu. [19:21] yautja_cetanu2: sudo service gdm restart [19:21] but maybe youre right, only americans care about freedom [19:21] does anyone know the terminal command to delet all files and folders inside of a directory but not the directory itself? [19:21] but i dont care about that right now [19:21] just want my resoultion to work [19:21] not everyone understands things the same way, it's better to prevent bad things from happening [19:21] sigma: seriously... read more about freedom [19:21] i stopped tlaking about that like 8 minutes ago [19:21] just stfu im trying to ask for help [19:21] anyone know how to increase the color *saturation* via software? [19:22] Can we please stay on topic here folks? [19:22] ... [19:22] im trying to civil here and abide by the rules and you guys keep going off topic [19:22] slgma: your not going to get help by being rude [19:22] i created a user group and added users to it. I want to give members of that group permissions to write on a directory... [19:22] jimboz: what video chipset? [19:22] does anyone in here use getting things gnome? [19:22] can anybody give me some pointers? [19:22] if you're going to take that attitude, I can just walk away [19:22] wac_: Drop it. [19:22] im not being rude, i was asking for help and i stopped cussing as soon as i was asked to [19:22] Gnea: You too. [19:22] mcsmurf: it is more likely to be harddrive write delays, used to cause my old desktop to hang for a bit, when it hangs, check the light on the front to see if the HDD is being used [19:22] I can't update or install anything on my laptop with 10.04. It says it can't lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable), and it's been like that for quite some time. How do I fix this? [19:22] but it was brought back up [19:22] out of nowhere [19:22] Dr_Willis, Intel HD Graphics for i3 330 mobile [19:22] jimboz: well for nvidia - i know the nvidia-settings tool can tweak the colors.. but no idea on Intel. [19:23] Does anybody knows how can I set available the resolution 1024x800 in the monitor settings? It only makes me select 800x600. I use LUBUNTU. [19:23] damn [19:23] ah well, I'll see tomorrow what memtest86+ will say, the ECC messages also started to appear recently, maybe the RAM module is in worse condition than the log tells me [19:23] !fixapt [19:23] 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 » [19:23] OttifantSir: see above [19:23] slgma: maybe another time we can continue that conversation in private, but for now, yeah, check xorg.0.log [19:23] I can see my USB mouse when I use "lsusb" in a terminal, but it doesn't move the cursor on screen. Any ideas? [19:23] manfredrasta: you did install the proper drivers for whatver video chipset you have? [19:23] Suppose I have home directory encryption, where ~/.Private is mounted over ~/. I want to switch so that ~/.Private is mounted to ~/Private. Which config file should I edit? [19:23] how to install most used compressed (archive) formats to my ubuntu 10.04 to work with the default archive manager (file-roller) ? [19:23] Dr_Willis: no i did not installed any driver [19:24] wac_: I found a webpage. There are commands in bash. That might be useful for you. [19:24] Dr_Willis: Thanks for that. I'll see what can be done. Should I close Synaptic first? [19:24] Dr_Willis: i am nooooob [19:24] i dont have that file gnea [19:24] ziyakan: figure out what ones you want and isntall the binaries for them, rar, 7zip, zip, whatever. [19:24] slgma: sorry, /var/log/Xorg.0.log [19:24] Anyone know how to access mysql command line from a xampp install under ubuntu? I just can't seem to find the answer... [19:24] that one either [19:24] manfredrasta: On ubuntu you would run ' gksudo jockey-gtk' or use the menu items for 'hardware drivers' [19:24] really? [19:24] then your system is hosed pretty badly [19:24] !archive [19:24] DrPoO, did you manage? [19:24] Dr_Willis, and on Lubuntu? the same? [19:24] I don't suppose there is a relatively easy way to remap things like cop/paste across most desktop apps? [19:25] i have xorg.conf.back [19:25] manfredrasta: no idea. I dont use lubuntu [19:25] keyboad shortcuts configlet doesn't seem to have that [19:25] can't see how there wouldn't be any /var/log/Xorg.*.log files... [19:25] unless X wasn't running anymore [19:25] Dr_Willis, Ill see. One minute [19:25] but clearly that isn't the case. [19:25] can you paste the web page please daniel!! [19:25] it would be much appreciated [19:25] Dr_Willis: unfortunately it still won't work :( [19:25] wac_: http://ss64.com/bash/ [19:25] anyone here use GTG (Getting Things GNOME) ? [19:26] bcurtiswx_, no [19:26] !anyone | bcurtiswx_ [19:26] bcurtiswx_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

(that anyone knows of) [19:26] aeon-ltd, thx [19:26] ^^ [19:27] Dr_Willis: In configuration I can only select "Seperate X Screen" [19:27] My USB mouse lights up and clicking works, but it doesn't move the cursor. Mouse works otherwise. Ideas? [19:27] try moving the mouse [19:27] yautja_cetanu2: which basically tells us - its not seeing that you have 2 monitors hooked up [19:27] Hello all, after long working hours I get this error whenever I try to launch a GUI program "Maximum number of clients reached Error: cannot open display: :0.0" [19:28] Dr_Willis: yup [19:28] Dr_Willis: if I do: preferences/hardware drivers it says: "No private driver is been used in this system" or something like that (It is in italian) [19:28] tvon: Try the 'hotkeys' or 'xkbcomp' programs. [19:28] I found few reports about this in launchpad and forums but with no working around, any ideas how to kill the unneeded X clients? [19:28] Dr_Willis: I'm going to try restarting ubuntu with the second monitor unplugged [19:28] Tried the command ubottu writes after !fixapt is issued, but still can't lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open.

My laptop monitor showed things but it was totally broken. I could see the screen but it was split in two (The left side of the screen was showing on the right) and the top had loads of crazy colours. However, my laptop was fine when I diactivated nvidia drivers. I'm now just running updates on ubuntu [19:49] hi, i have problem with manual make package with my kernel.

[19:55] Amadeus__: In normal linucies/unicies, youd set /etc/inittab to a text-only runlevel, usually 3. Ubuntu doesn't work that way though.

You can just boot it like that, and as long as you have the opnessh-server package installed, you can ssh in. [19:57] great thanks [19:58] Kyle__, thanks, i'll probably do that then [19:58] Aemaeth: I admit that was one of the reasons I didn't like ubuntu at first.

[19:59] ziyakan, install the package p7zip, it will integrate in ark, file-roller and xarchiver [19:59] ziyakan: should be, but imo cli is easier :) [19:59] but if you need gui file-roller should be fine [19:59] crazygir: What kind of modem? ... dial up, ADSL, cable? [20:00] ppq: what you mean "it will integrate" ? [20:00] anyone tell me how to mount a usb HDD [20:00] ziyakan, you can simply open .7 archives with file-roller/etc then [20:00] *.7z [20:01] aeon-ltd: what is imo cli ? and file roller is enough for me but the main problem is file-roller has not the feature to select compression level ...

[20:01] ziyakan, IMO = in my opinion and CLI = command line [20:01] ziyakan, but for all the tricky features of 7zip like setting a password etc you have to use the "7z" cli program which is included in p7zip package [20:02] hi any one give me the command to open a file throgh terminal [20:02] Rotham, LAMP should be installable with just `sudo tasksel` which is imho easier than the other suggestions, see http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/570-install-lamp-with-1-command-in-ubuntu-910 [20:02] crazygir: i have an adaptec card and a hp tape drive [20:02] can someone tell me how to get fglrx working in 10.10 beta? i installed the fglrx package and its listed in 'alternate drivers'. fglrxinfo/glxinfo segfaults when i try to run it. any help?

Don't know what happend. I can manually bring lo up and venet0. But venet0:0 that's supposed to have the external ip can't be brought up. [20:06] varunthacker: you should find out your IP, or register a hostname in NIC, and publish your IP in some DNS server. [20:06] ziyakan, well, if you type "man 7z" you will see the command for compression [20:06] varunthacker, have you setup the port forwards in your router to point to the machine you wish to attach to yet? [20:06] Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[20:08] I've tried googling but I don't know what to google on to get anything relevant. :/ [20:08] Aemaeth: yes thank you i know. but i dont need for one format. i need many formats. so i can not learn a command for all of them. i need a gui. but the file -roller can not has this feature (to select compress level). i tried the peazip but it has many many bugs (because it is new yet)... anyway. i will find something new for that ... :( [20:08] crazygir: Ive used a Zoom Model 3095 V.92 USB Mini External Modem on 10.04 [20:08] fbianconi, the ip you are talking about is the home network ip(192.168.1.x) or the one through which i am connected to the internet [20:08] ziyakan, yea, more specific your needs the less others can help...if there's a windows program, i hate saying this, but run it in wine? [20:08] my machine is not booting up with a display as it's not recognizing my video card. [20:09] Is there something I can do to have it boot back to a prompt, instead of GUI? [20:09] ehcah: new card? [20:09] yes [20:09] ati hd5570 [20:09] mattgyver, i can but every time the network resets a different 192.168.1.x ip is given. Can it still be done [20:09] I've had a really hard time getting to workin in my previous install. [20:09] varunthacker: your public IP, and you have to make the packages get from your router (redirect ports) [20:09] crazygir: USRobotics also has a USB dialup that works well [20:09] ehcah: yeah, go back to whatever gpu you were using, install drivers, add card change dvi lead to the ati card and see if it works [20:09] varunthacker, yes, you need to assign the machine a static IP in the OS [20:10] varunthacker: the one through which you are connected to the internet [20:10] Hi, please suggest a software for drawing flow charts, and block diagrams [20:10] I have a ubuntu homeserver.

I was afraid that was what I'd have to do... I did the install ok with the new card. But that was all before the GUI. [20:10] In your router you will forward the packets from port 22 (tcp) to 22 on the 192.168.1.x number you assign, then ssh user@ [20:10] Aemaeth: i dont want wine programs . but even that i research for it. and i look for 7-zip which is open source and good. but it is not working so good. it is working but it has many many bugs with wine (i dont intall the other programs closed source). [20:11] buuck: why?, also some irc clients have a log feature [20:11] emery: the card is enabled.

[20:11] vamsi, freemind [20:11] i've setup BIND just for forwarding, and its not working, anyone have a second to go over my .conf with me? [20:12] Aemaeth: I am starting to also. [20:12] At least on this box anyway. [20:12] it's just laggy for me, vlc and rythembox do me just fine [20:12] I thought I read somewhere that you could boot to a prmpt instaed of the gui, by hitting a key combo on boot? [20:12] mattgyver, so i port froward to a fixed 192.168.1.x ip. Do i have to register my ip in a dns lookup? [20:12] yes, mine too. What I do is have a dyndns account for publishing mi public IP with ddclient (a daemon) and find it there, in dyndns, from outside [20:13] varunthacker: yes, mine too. What I do is have a dyndns account for publishing mi public IP with ddclient (a daemon) and find it there, in dyndns, from outside [20:13] Aemaeth: I have 2 Zotac Mini's both running xbmc live and they rock.

[20:22] Scunizi: The ubuntu stuff I have seen though only lets me install old nvidia drivers. I need the latest for my laptop [20:22] serp_: Welcome. Note that ppa-purge is in the universe section. [20:23] ashok_shetty: seems like you're really new to things and are exploring what you can do... [20:23] yautja_cetanu2: the online tutorial is typically out of date. previous releases have been much easier to install the binary driver.. with 10.04 and up it's a different animal [20:23] yautja_cetanu2: like I said.. check for the PPA [20:23] How do I do that? [20:23] yautja_cetanu2: hang on and I'll look in google. [20:23] fraterm: ur right [20:23] ashok_shetty: like others have said, man and info will be a big help to you also. [20:23] dajhorn: hrm what do you mean? [20:23] zenlunatic: what is that dude [20:24] Scunizi: I've blacklisted nouvea already. Is that a bad idea? [20:24] yautja_cetanu2: https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa [20:24] ashok_shetty: you need to install that program to play an mp3 [20:24] fraterm: dude i should know how to open mp-3 files thru terminal [20:24] serp_: The four primary Ubuntu sections are main restricted universe and multiverse. Unless you specifically asked for 'universe', the ppa-purge package won't appear in the software list. [20:24] serp_: You can enable all four sections in the Software Sources panel. [20:24] zenlunatic: but in windows its not required [20:25] i know i could open a file with vlc FROM terminal, but idk any mp3 cli players [20:25] dajhorn, serp_: I just wandered in in the middle of this, but ppa-purge isn't in Ubuntu before Maverick. [20:25] Aemaeth: mpd [20:25] ashok_shetty: yeah so what is your point? [20:25] Scunizi: Do I need to blacklist any other drivers for this to work? [20:25] ashok_shetty: it's not required in windows because you've pre-paid for the license for the mp3 codec... [20:25] Aemaeth: mp3blaster and moc [20:25] ashok_shetty: mpg123 is one command line mp3 player if I recall correctly [20:25] ashok_shetty: also, here are three good url's [20:25] Hi All, when I try to format a partition in my external USB harddisk, it fails and I am getting error message in dmesg "Buffer I/O error on device sdd1, logical block 796574" [20:25] lol, i was talking to ashok_shetty , ashok_shetty people are giving you programs [20:26] hi all. picture that ubuntu shows when i shut down the box. what it is called? it has a xubuntu logo [20:26] http://bhami.com/rosetta.html <- especiallly useful if you've used other unixes or might in the future. [20:26] yautja_cetanu2: no.. once installed you'll see it in System>Admin>Hardware drivers.. it typically won't give you the version number but will recommend one driver that is listed there.. that will typically be the one you want. [20:26] rww: aha that's too bad... [20:26] rww: serp_: ppa-purge was added to lucid-backports. [20:26] fraterm: plymouth, its the same thing that shows up when you boot. [20:26] ashok_shetty: http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/cmd/ is another good ref. [20:27] who decides what programs are in those repositories? [20:27] ashok_shetty: If your looking for cli mp3 players, mp3blaster and moc are good [20:27] dajhorn: ah, didn't know that. shiny.

[20:33] gerrin: handbrake [20:33] mediacoder of course [20:33] th_: and maybe as an xubuntu bug, if you didn't intend to have that kind of cosmetic alteration (like you installed a normal xfce package, but not the whole thing, and it changed your look-feel on splash screen unintentionally. [20:34] fraterm, maybe i do that [20:34] but if you installed xubuntu specific package, you should expect that.

[20:37] personally I like messing around too, but I like to gather some data before I go cutting stuff up. :) [20:37] did anyone check how many of the single letter prefixes of ubuntu are taken ? so far i know of kubuntu, lubuntu and qubuntu, anyone know any others ? [20:37] you can hit a letter then hit TAB a couple times. it will show you what commands are available for that letter [20:37] ashok_shetty: press tab twice [20:38] you can also ls /usr/bin/ and do the same for /bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin/ if you want to see what bins ytou have [20:38] I don't think it does it unless you type a letter, could be wrong. [20:38] fraterm ~ you are correct [20:38] it does for me in bash [20:38] ooo, serp is correct in bash. (just tried that) [20:38] TY irc :).

[20:43] oh he said 10.04 [20:43] in 10.04 [20:43] dajhorn: I have that line and did update the database but still aptitude search won't find it and aptitude install didn't find it either [20:43] fraterm ~ hehe only ubuntu release I use usually (kubuntu) then again I'm a KDE freak :) [20:43] Otherwise I'm probably stuck waiting a few months for it to work it's way into default QT.

I'm thinking its an issue with the fglrx driver itself [20:51] coz: still here??? [20:52] fraterm ~ also, when you run gdm instead to fix the issue (which it does) you lose the restart shutdown capability. you have to log out of your session and select either of those options from the gdm screen [20:52] really sucks [20:53] but other than that I've seen no issues with the kubuntu release (which is just ubuntu with kde as the default rather than gnome) [20:53] slookstervpsv: it says /dev/tape no such file or directory [20:53] dschuett ~ you have to create the link in /dev [20:53] or use udev to do it [20:54] udev iirc is the preferred [20:54] dschuett - ok that's where we need to start, find out what happened to /dev/tape (I don't have it either) could be renamed though [20:54] I need some help installing the latest nvidia drivers [20:54] slooksterpsv ~ usually its a sym to the actual device [20:54] deryl ~ like st0 or that?

I'm running 10.04 with two disks in Raid-1 with mdadm. Works great. I've just added a new raid-5 with 3 disks. In /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf only the raid-1 is stated. I guess both should be there to automatically bring both raids up after rebooting? Any pointers would be great. Thanks!!! [21:41] Shouldn't `xvfb-run` use `mktemp` in place of `tempfile` in the only place that it's using `tempfile`? [21:42] is it possible to get to the recovery console if no grub menu is shown? (I need to add an acpi configuration line to my grub menu, but I see no way of getting to edit it) [21:42] elo anyone here ? [21:42] Medusa: I guess both have to be there. I only used mdadm briefly and I actually hate it, so can't really help you with that. [21:42] xlive: yes. [21:43] xlive: no. [21:43] ah [21:43] press and hold shift [21:43] xlive: but my name isn't anyone [21:43] thanks andycc. Are you using anything else for managing software raids?

Check thinkwiki -- your model may not have the necessary hardware. [21:48] wheres the boot list for grub in 10.04? === llutz_ is now known as llutz [21:48] Sp][nE: in /etc/grub.d/ I think. [21:48] !grub2 [21:48] 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 [21:48] Sp][nE: lucid uses grub2. [21:49] Sp][nE: It's hidden by default at boot. Hold shift during boot to see the grub menu. [21:49] dajhorn, it used to work before on the xp os but not detecting it on this kernel. Did a couple of recommendations from thinkwiki but not helpful :-( [21:49] ezy: Try your luck with the tp-smapi-dkms package. [21:50] dajhorn, let me try that, Im sure there is some way...thanks [21:50] !mdadm [21:50] !raid [21:50] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [21:52] m4rtin: I've heard nothing but good reviews of Zareason http://zareason.com [21:52] ppl [21:52] anyone here able to help me [21:52] !ask | Midler [21:52] Midler: 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. :-) [21:53] Midler: oh, you're the one with the HDMI problem. [21:53] Iam having truble to get the hdmi output to work at all on a zotac mag htpc [21:53] andycc: yes [21:53] i think its driver problems [21:54] but by the guide iam following [21:54] the propietary shouldnt have these problems (except for enabling sound) [21:54] m4rtin: Plus they have a unique warranty http://zareason.com/shop/ZaReason-s-Open-Hardware-Warranty.html [21:54] the tv also feels it has hdmi connected to it, but nvidia display settings dosnt find the another screen [21:55] Midler: post output of "sudo lspci | grep VGA" [21:55] s/post/paste [21:57] Sooo: Since I updated to Lucid, updatedb has stopped cataloging my home directory. It's encrypted, but it's mounted so it ought to be indexible. [21:57] Midler: don't use nvidia settings, use system>preferences>monitors. [21:57] Any ideas how I fix that? [21:57] all lines [21:57] *the hole line? [21:58] Midler: yes, the whole line. [21:58] What does "dovecot start/killed, process 924" as the output of "service dovecot status" mean? [21:58] quidnunc: probably that dovecot is now process 924. [21:58] 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation ION VGA (rev b1) [21:58] nvidia propietary driver is installed threw ubuntu repo [21:59] andycc: But there is no process 924. And what is the "killed" indication? === _jesse__ is now known as _jesse_ [21:59] hi [21:59] anyone noticed that gnome-terminal no longer saves the window size? [22:00] Midler: use system>preferences>monitors to change resolution/active screens [22:00] jbatista: yes, it's in the settings. === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon [22:00] andycc: it dosnt find hdmi either [22:01] andycc: that option seems to be gone in 2.30.2-0ubuntu1 === _jesse_ is now known as _jesse__________ [22:01] andycc: but is still in 2.29.6-0ubuntu5 [22:02] andycc: I just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me... :) [22:02] jbatista: hmm. You're right. I can't seem to find the option either... [22:03] andycc: ok time for a bug report then ;) [22:03] andycc: thanks for the confirmation [22:03] hello! im having some odd issues with my ubuntu instalation. Iv installed 8.04 and been updating since 10.04, but now some odd things, like sometimes dont detecting my external audio board, my 3g modem and so on... I got /home separated, but im concerned if i do a reinstall some odd configurations would still be there... how would be the best move to "renew" my ubuntu instalation, without losing data? bur purging the trouble? [22:03] bur = but [22:03] jbatista: you have a launchpad account, right? === _jesse__________ is now known as _jesse_ [22:04] andycc: yep [22:04] andycc: why? [22:04] jbatista: just asking. [22:04] andycc: ok [22:04] I have a script in /id-up.d/ which obviously runs as root, but then I (as a normal user) cannot modify the process. What's the best way of having it run the script and change the process to me? I've seen putting su username at the top of the file. Anything better? [22:05] andycc: any other ideas? [22:05] Midler: sorry, no. [22:06] I'm sitting next to a friend with a Gateway M275 convertible. He's trying to install Lucid on it...and he gets a screen with a bunch of filled box characters on it then a blank-screen hang shortly after configuring the sensors stuff [22:06] (btw, noapic is no good in his case) [22:06] HTT-Bird: acpi=off? [22:07] looking for some help installing the drivers for my printer [22:07] allie: what printer? [22:07] have gone looking on my own but still don't quite get it...i get lost :S [22:08] andycc: a canon pixma mp560 [22:08] andycc, he's tried apic=off acpi=off [22:08] allie: let me look that one up... [22:08] no wait... [22:08] it's apic=off lapic=off [22:08] he hasn't tried acpi=off [22:08] andycc: thanks so much...i've downloaded the drivers already.. [22:09] allie: ...there are downloadable drivers for Canon printers? [22:09] well...files that i have to open in the terminal... [22:10] andycc, should he try acpi=off? [22:10] HTT-Bird: maybe. [22:10] andycc: this is the site i've been trying to get thru [22:10] http://longair.net/blog/2010/06/06/the-canon-pixma-mp560-on-ubuntu/ [22:10] allie: oh thank you for that. [22:11] I'm trying to make a shortcut for nautilus with no success, anyone have an idea how to go about it, I'm using gconf-editor apps/metacity/global_keybindings/ but none of the changes I make seem to do anything. Any ideas? [22:12] Here's a fun problem. I can log into my Ubuntu system just fine, but if I lock my system and try to log back in, it says incorrect password. Yes - I'm using the EXACT same PW to log in initially as I am to unlock the computer. [22:12] jags: do you want to make a simple shortcut? did you try ln? [22:12] allie: you should simply run install.sh as specified by that tutorial. [22:12] I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04.1. Grub seems to default at memtest, and spend like only 1 second before choosing Memtest. Is there any way to change the default OS loaded by Grub? [22:12] ok [22:12] problem [22:12] solved [22:12] soner, I want to make e open nautilus [22:12] Roasted: watch out for the locale. Left me hanging too. [22:12] error was -> using propietary from ubuntu repo [22:13] what is ln? [22:13] installing newest driver from nvidia = solved my problem [22:13] you can create a shortcut file with the command ln [22:13] \o/ [22:13] hi, how can i set permissions of my samba server? i want my windows system to have access to my ubuntu files [22:13] andycc, pardon? === _jesse_ is now known as _jesse_|afk [22:13] pw-toxic, I found webadmin to be really helpful for setting up samba [22:14] andycc: No command 'run' found, did you mean: sorry..i just still get so lost with using the terminal...i don't do it enough.. [22:14] Roasted: if you have multiple locales installed, watch out for which is selected at the unlock screen. [22:14] jags, webmin is not compatible with ubuntu [22:14] Drive me back to windoes will you? again and again: the following plug-in has crashed: /opt/google/chrome/libgcflashplayer.so [22:14] jags, ln makes links (which are shortcut-like). there are two types of links: hard links are a second name for the same file. symlinks point at a different file by storing its name and path in the symlink. (regular ln makes hardlinks, use ln -s to make symlinks) [22:14] Roasted: I have US english and Romanian, and it sometimes breaks my symbols. [22:14] It worked well for my setup [22:14] I need some help with command-line methods to configure xorg in ubuntu [22:14] andycc, I'm not entirely sure I follow... [22:14] nothing I have tried or read about has forked [22:14] hi [22:14] jags, which ubuntu version do you have? [22:14] 10.04 [22:14] tripelb, you tell me. flash loves to blow its top. [22:14] using wemin is highly discuraged on the ubuntu wiki [22:15] dpkg-reconfigure just goes straight t o the prompt with no change [22:15] Roasted: do you have multiple languages installed? [22:15] hi cj_ [22:15] Drive me back to windows will you? again and again: the following plug-in has crashed: /opt/google/chrome/libgcflashplayer.so ---new 10.04 install. [22:15] i [22:15] hi [22:15] andycc, acpi=off triggers the issue (and the block-things are multicolored too) [22:15] andycc, I don't believe so. Its a default install as of 2 nights ago. [22:15] bye bye [22:15] tripelb: yeah I often get the same error [22:15] Roasted: so you don't, which means it's another issue. [22:16] I have an external hd with a backup of my old xp data that i had root kits and viruses and malware and junk so I had to reformat it... if i scan the external hd running ubuntu could it get infected [22:16] cj_: no [22:16] * tripelb weeps with soner [22:16] the xrandr method I read about requires x to be working to even work. what is the point of that? [22:17] it couldt be cross platform [22:17] and every other method I read about for configuring x requires x to already be working because it is a gui [22:17] :P [22:17] ok I'm back sorry all [22:17] rifter: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config [22:17] * rifter laments for xf86config [22:17] yes I read that [22:17] rifter: no you didn't because what you are saying contradicts what that page sasy [22:17] nothing works there [22:17] okay I will look again [22:17] rifter: and you haven't even told us what you want to do [22:18] lok all I need to do is specify a resolution [22:18] cj_: I don't think viruses can be very effective under linux [22:18] rifter: that should be there [22:18] So, rootkits wouldn't have a section of code for dicking with the level 3 ring of the os [22:18] I want o tell x to use a specific resolution because it is not detectingthe lcd monitor right and for some reason it decides t o pick the most outrageous widescreen resolution instead [22:18] rifter: that's fine, that page (or a link in it) covers that [22:19] okay I already said I tried to configure xorg [22:19] ok [22:19] all I got was a new prompt [22:19] thanks [22:19] cj_, more like very few pieces of malware are written to be able to handle both WIndows and Linux [22:19] rifter: ok, now try with what the page says [22:19] !who | rifter [22:19] rifter: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:19] * HTT-Bird pings andycc [22:19] cj_, if you want you can install rkhunter [22:19] * andycc replies to HTT-Bird's ping === jeremy is now known as Guest43374 [22:20] all it says to do is that sudo Xorg -configure will give you an initial xorg file [22:20] okay [22:20] in order to put modes in that file I need modelines [22:20] cj_, then run sudo rkhunter --update then sudo rkhunter --propupd then sudo rkhunter -c [22:20] andycc, acpi=off also triggers the same issue. [22:20] and unless some configuration tool makes those I can't just come up with them from my head [22:21] HTT-Bird: sorry, helping out allie right now. Might be a video card issue. [22:21] I've edited xorg.conf files before, but if there are no modes in there at all, what can I do? [22:21] rifter: no xorg.conf in Lucid. [22:21] rifter: if you want to get my attention, use my nick. And please stop using the enter key as punctuation; keep your responses on a single line. You want to configure resolution, so click the link on that page about resolution (it tells you the tool to make those) [22:21] andycc, this was on karmic but I will try lucid tonight [22:21] jrib, sorry I forgot to do that [22:21] Hi. [22:22] (the boxes also happen to be full of colorful garbage...considering that it happens right after it goes to set the sensors limits, maybe something video-related on an I2C bus somewhere decided to retaliate when probed...? sound like a good theory andycc?) [22:22] rifter: karmic too, I think. === curtis is now known as Guest66415 [22:22] andycc, well I saw one but yes it is basically empty because xorg just does everything automatically. but if that does not work, you can put things in xorg.conf and it is supposed to honor that [22:23] Hi i need help to give a new start up application the power of sudo (adminstration rights) I tried doing this in visudo (%admin ALL=NOPASSWD: setpci) but there is a syntex problem or is there a beter method of doing this [22:23] rifter: I guess so. [22:23] I'm trying to organize my music. I've renamed all my songs so the filename is the song name. Is there any way to automatically set each song's name in the file metadata so it will be the same as his filename? [22:23] HTT-Bird: not a HW expert, but sounds plausible [22:23] Guest66415: what do you want to accomplish exactly? [22:23] RippZzZ: Could you pastebin your /etc/default/grub and your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? [22:23] jrib, what link about resolution. the only thing on that page is sudo Xorg -configure and an explanation of where the xorg.conf file is [22:24] jrib, or all I see on it [22:24] Jordan_U: NM, I googled and figured it out [22:24] RippZzZ: What was the problem out of curiosity? [22:24] rifter: the one that says "Display resolution configuration": https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [22:24] The default OS it was loading was Memtest...and I think the timeout was like 3 seconds [22:24] I should probally also scan for viruses on an account other than the root .... [22:25] jrib, this is the problem. I'm in a situation where I am not at the computer but will be tonight. it's not my computer. I was trying to fix it last night [22:25] danieldd1: I guess you can grab your favorite scripting language and do it. Maybe try easytag [22:25] btw, i solved the graphic problem [22:25] I wasn't watching carefully as Grub loaded [22:25] so it went to Memtest after the 3 seconds [22:25] jrib, by the way for some reason booting from the cd was no joy either. it rsulted in an undisplayable resolution, even in "safe video mode" [22:26] please I need some help on how do I create a dual boot as I installed xp under ubunu V.9.04 using virtualbox [22:26] jrib I got a program called brightung it alowes me to change the brightness of my net book because my samsung n150 brightness keys dont work. this prgram needs to start up on star up with sudo rights [22:26] jrib, okay I still don't see that link on that page but I will look at that link [22:26] jrib: I'm a PHP programmer, so I thought about doing it - Only problem I can't find any information on how to change (or even read) the song's name... Can you point me to the right term I should use? [22:26] jrib, oh yes that page [22:26] jrib, imagine my horror when I found out that xrandr needs x to work to work [22:27] danieldd1: there's the mutagen library for python, there are probably tons of these things [22:27] rifter: that's not the only method there... [22:27] Is there a gui for laptop-mode-tools ? and is it ok to install it on a desktop computer? [22:27] jrib, I tried everything on that page but since xrandr just said it couldn't talk to an x server that was no joy === Guest43374 is now known as 18VABKBZK [22:27] any ideas on my issue in this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/126581 [22:27] jrib, I have tried everything on that page. I actually downloaded the page and brought it with me to view in lynx and work from it [22:27] jrib any ideas how i can fix this [22:27] i just got everything working properly on a toshiba satellite C650D (2010) [22:27] rifter: you wrote your own xorg.conf? [22:27] Hi folks, long story but I'm trying to take users and file permissions from a server running ubuntu 9.04 and put them on a different server running 10.04. I'm trying to build a test environment without having to recreate all the groups and users. Any easy way to do this?? Thanks for the amazing work and taking the time to help!! [22:28] i want to post something to ubuntuforums.org about how i did it, anyone got suggestions where i should post it === 18VABKBZK is now known as _jnowka [22:28] danieldd1: look for tools like kid3, easytag or id3v2 [22:28] Here are the instructions i have http://www.pietrobattiston.it/brightung/ [22:28] jrib, no because, again, I can't come up with modelines from the top of my head [22:28] hello [22:28] rifter: and again, that page doesn't tell you to. [22:28] may I ask for a help? [22:28] jrib, and xrandr just didn'ty work so nothiong relating to that worked [22:28] can somebody pls explain the difference between "mount -t proc proc /mnt/linux/proc" und "mount --bind /proc /mnt/linux/proc"? [22:28] jrib: Or even to the unix terminal function I can use in order to change the audio information of a file? [22:29] rifter: if you take the time to read the page carefully you will be able to configure your resolution [22:29] please I need some help on how do I create a dual boot as I installed xp under ubunu V.9.04 using virtualbox [22:29] jrib, okay I am confued. it clearly says to put things like "Modeline "1280x1024_60.00" 108.88 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028 1060 -HSync +Vsync" in the file [22:29] danieldd1: maybe try #bash. If you know python, use a python library [22:29] Guest66415: what was your line in sudoers again? [22:29] jrib, and since i can't get the information I need for that from the xorg log, or xrandr, I need something else [22:29] rifter: and? [22:29] jrib, something that lets me just say "I want 1024x768 60hz please [22:30] jrib %admin ALL=NOPASSWD: setpci [22:30] jrib it gives me a syntex error tho [22:30] jrib, you might notice that what I pasted is called a modeline [22:30] jrib, n modelines, no modes, so you can't set what mode to use [22:30] rifter: so create the modeline. Your browser can probably search web pages, so tell it to show you all occurences of "modeline" on that page and read those sentences [22:31] jrib, that is what I am asking you about because I haven't foudn anything like that in years and usually there was some command line tool that would just do that [22:31] what is the best lightweight login manager? im now using gdm but its too slow for a netbook [22:31] jrib, I only came here after days of going through the internet and coming back to the machine to try different things [22:31] rifter: I'm not sure how I can be any clearer without just copying the page and pasting it back to you. The page tells you the tool to use and how to use it. [22:31] th_: xdm, slim [22:32] jrib, it says to use xrandr and the xorg log. I just t old you those do not work [22:32] rifter: keep reading. [22:32] llutz, is slim fully in dev? [22:32] rifter: if you would just read the page carefully, you would know how to do this already [22:32] jrib The “setpci” command must be given with superuser rights. This can be done in several ways: for instance by using the command “visudo” to add the line [22:33] jrib, I did I swearI know it doesn't sound like that, but if I actually went into detail on what I did it would be a novel [22:33] llutz: jrib: Thanks. I now found this tags are called "id3", so I can look for PHP classes to edit them. [22:33] jrib, from that page, my choices are xrandr, the xorg log, or windows [22:33] jrib, I don't have windows [22:33] rifter: I think it's called cvt, I don't have the page open anymore though. Do you see where it ttalks about that? [22:33] jrib, yes cvt needs xrandr to work [22:33] jrib, since it does not, I skipped that [22:33] rifter: are you sure? What happens when you try? [22:34] Guest66415: one sec [22:34] jrib %admin ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL [22:34] th_: according to their berlios-site its still active [22:34] etherealite: he wants it just for one command [22:34] jrib, when I try xrandr it says it cannot talk to x. the instructions say to use cvt to tell xrandr what to do [22:34] Guest66415: Did you actually try running "sudo setpci"? Does it give an error or ask for a password? [22:34] rifter: you don't use xrandr, just cvt to get the modeline === _jesse_|afk is now known as _jesse_ [22:34] Any one have an idea of why virt-install complains of missing xen on a kvm install? [22:34] !away > _jesse_ [22:34] _jesse_, please see my private message [22:35] !away > avi_ [22:35] avi_, please see my private message [22:35] Jordan_U, no i did not run it i need to give it sudo right when computer starts up [22:36] how to expand bookmarks menu when places is open? [22:36] Guest66415: Though actually that page greatly understates the security problems with allowing setpci to be run with sudo without a password. Setpci can damage hardware if used incorrectly of malliciously. [22:36] <_jesse_> jrib: apologies, forgot I was in this channel [22:37] or maybe make a new bookmarks pulldown on some panel? [22:37] Jordan_U, realy so what do you sugest i need this program to work [22:37] jrib, okay I will try that. at least it is a bone. Thank you for trying to help. I don't get why ten years ago we had tools that you could just answer questions about your monitor and you'd get a working configuration, but with all our advances now we don't. I also would have been happy if at least I could have found some kind of boot option that would force ubuntu to use a given res; maybe there is but I didn't find that either [22:37] I just installed the latest ubuntu-server over an old gentoo installation, snd now the bios hangs when its gose to list the drives, it also dose the same thing when i try to enter the bios [22:38] rifter: I guess the problem is that they're trying to make it so you don't have to answer any questions and then when the magic doesn't work the user is lost :/ [22:38] jrib, Please understand my frustration is not with you, and probably it is affecting my concentration on this problem [22:38] rifter: no problem, sorry if I seemed frustrated at times as well as I was about to step out to buy groceries :P [22:39] jrib, thank you for pointing out that that took can help// it may be the magic bullet [22:39] Jordan_U, so [22:39] jrib, I am also bringing lynx and meercat this time [22:39] Guest66415: I'm not sure. [22:39] Hi folks, long story but I'm trying to take users and file permissions from a server running ubuntu 9.04 and put them on a different server running 10.04. I'm trying to build a test environment without having to recreate all the groups and users. Any easy way to do this?? Thanks for the amazing work and taking the time to help!! Sorry for reposting :-/ going deaf from the server on my desk :) [22:39] Guys, I'm having an issue in my terminal [22:39] rifter: yeah, maybe lucid will "just work" which would be nice [22:39] Jordan_U, what type of damage and why would this cause it [22:40] I cannot access anything as root...can someone help me? [22:40] jrib, yes and then maybe I will bite the bullet and upgrade my main to lucid [22:40] I just installed the latest ubuntu-server over an old gentoo installation, snd now the bios hangs when its gose to list the drives, it also dose the same thing when i try to enter the bios [22:40] jrib, I was embarrassed when I couldn't make this work, but I told the person I would ask you guys and mayeb get a better answer [22:41] rifter: what exactly happens? X just fails to start? [22:41] How do I restart Apache and PHP? [22:41] danieldd1: sudo service apache2 restart (are you sure you actually want to restart it not just reload the config) [22:41] Can someone clarify how to access my terminal as root? [22:41] !root | Moleboy [22:41] Moleboy: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:41] jrib so do you know how i can get his to work http://www.pietrobattiston.it/brightung/ [22:42] jrib: installed the getid3 for PHP. So should I restart or reload? [22:42] Guest66415: I think someone asked you before about whether or not "sudo setpci" worked in a shell without asking for a password, does it? [22:42] Moleboy: sudo bash is a quick way then enter the password [22:43] danieldd1: oh, not sure. If it doesn't already work, try reload, then restart, and you'll find out :) [22:43] Moleboy: read what ubottu sent you instead of just blindly typing "sudo bash", it's not the best way [22:43] Hi [22:43] sorry jrib [22:44] illytacos: yeah, "sudo -i" is better if you need a root shell [22:44] I'm just switching distros from Debian, and could not use su...so I was just confused [22:44] hehe, I appreciate the help :-) [22:44] ah cool jrib thanks for the tip. I've always been doing sudo bash [22:44] I've installed apache2 etc with command ( apt-get install apache2 mysql-server phpmyadmin ) But it wount find phpmyadmin. itsays its not found while browsing to localhost/phpmyadmin.. help ? [22:44] jrib, well it all started when I stupidly uinstalled updates to the system, which was working fine. one of those updates was the nvidia driver, which broke on install. I should have read the log first and seen that the module was actually just not loading, because if I had I would not have messed with the xorg conf in the way I initially did. I purged the nvidia stuff when I noticed that, and then tried to get xorg to let me reconfi [22:44] gure it, but it wouldn't even when i moved all the conf files elsewhere so it wouldn't try to use any of the stuff nvidia or I had done. I should have looked at the processes, but what seems to happen now is xorg starts, then can't detect the legitemate modes for the monitor, and tries the highest widescreen resolution it can (on a non-widescreen monitor). The monitor is chinese, and the model number is in chinese characters [22:45] I've installed apache2 etc with command ( apt-get install apache2 mysql-server phpmyadmin ) But it wount find phpmyadmin. itsays its not found while browsing to localhost/phpmyadmin.. help ? [22:45] jrib, when I start xrandr, it says it cannot talk to the display [22:45] rifter: can't you just reinstall the nvidia modules? [22:46] jrib: Both of them doesn't seem to work. I guess i'll install a program which supports command-line id3 tag editing and then just call it from PHP. Thanks anyway :) [22:46] Guest66415: anyway just note that what you put in your sudoers allows you to run "sudo setpci" and you will not be asked for a password (as long as you are in the admin group). I'm leaving now [22:46] jrib, I could, sure, but I was hoping to get generic xorg working and set the actual best resolution rather than my safe guess before installing the nvidia stuff. That was my worst mistake. I took a computer that was on a widescreen monitor to this place, with a different monitor, and did not change the nvidia xconfig before updating the driver [22:47] jrib it askes for a password i need to make it not ask for one [22:47] jrib, that is defintely one thing I will try [22:47] jrib how do i do that [22:47] Guest66415: anyway just note that what you put in your sudoers allows you to run "sudo setpci" and you will not be asked for a password (as long as you are in the admin group). I'm leaving now [22:48] I've installed apache2 etc with command ( apt-get install apache2 mysql-server phpmyadmin ) But it wount find phpmyadmin. itsays its not found while browsing to localhost/phpmyadmin.. help ? [22:48] jrib but what command do i wright to make that work [22:48] Delited: another way I've done sudo apt-get install lamp^ very fast way to get LAMP up and running [22:48] Guest66415: %admin ALL=NOPASSWD: setpci in /etc/sudoers is correct. Use "visudo" to edit /etc/sudoers === synackfin1 is now known as synackfin [22:48] jrib i do that then it says danger [22:49] Guest66415: "it says danger" is too vague [22:49] jrib >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 30 <<< [22:49] Guest66415: pastebin your /etc/sudoers [22:49] $ /etc/init.d/apache2 restart //Restart Apache [22:50] Delited: try in synaptic search for phpmyadmin it should be there [22:50] jrib, plus the thing is that the module not loading is an indication the installation did not work right, and when the installation on nvidia drivers goes bad, the uninstallation breaks too in my experience. I've been in situations where the upgrade broke and then all I could do is either figure out how to manually remove it (because the reaosn it broke was the ubuntu uninstall didn't happen right but then it installed something new o [22:50] n top, which apparently confuses the nvidia uninstall scripts too) or reinstall ... at least that is what it seemed. there might have been a better way, but not knowing it if I whack at something long enough with no joy the big guns become more palatable [22:50] jrib k give me a sec [22:50] wait are you sure only phpmyadmin isn't parsing? [22:50] illytacos, it coulndt find lamp with apt-get [22:50] i'm running into the problem this week: NO php is parsing for me [22:50] Delited: you need the ^ at the end of it [22:51] !lamp > pudgypaw [22:51] pudgypaw, please see my private message [22:51] and i had a solid setup for the past 6 months [22:51] pudgypaw: that page gives you troubleshooting steps for your issue [22:51] illytacos, I have [22:51] no result [22:51] Delited, you use tasksel to install lamp, not apt-get [22:51] Delited, sudo tasksel install lamp-server [22:51] ok [22:52] Hi, peeps. i installed KDE at one point so I could check out kdm. I then switched back to gnome. I like KDE-based apps such as yakuake, but I wonder if other processes such as knotify klauncher kglobalaccelkdeinit4 should be running. I also get a Kubuntu splash upon shutdown. Is there a way to further remove kde, but still leave yakuake and other programs I like? [22:52] \ [22:52] weird I've done it that way in the past... like literally a few minutes ago on the server that is making me go deaf. speaking of which I need help too [22:52] jrib: thanks, but I've done LAMP, apache+php, nginx+fastcgi, etc [22:52] pudgypaw: that page gives you troubleshooting steps for your issue [22:52] Hi folks, long story but I'm trying to take users and file permissions from a server running ubuntu 9.04 and put them on a different server running 10.04. I'm trying to build a test environment without having to recreate all the groups and users. Any easy way to do this?? Thanks for the amazing work and taking the time to help!! Sorry for reposting :-/ going deaf from the server on my desk :) [22:52] i've done tons of builds but things are suddenly breaking [22:52] jrib http://pastebin.com/78LjnKtp [22:53] Guest66415: add a newline at the end of the sudoers-file [22:53] Guest66415: give the full path for setpci === eddie is now known as Guest26364 [22:54] Hi [22:54] jrib whats the full path [22:54] * illytacos cries [22:54] Guest66415: « which setpci » will tell you [22:54] has anyone tried a fresh build today and got php to parse? [22:55] /usr/bin/setpci [22:55] jrib /usr/bin/setpci [22:55] i'm talking LAMP stack but also understand APache/php or nginx_php/fastcgi [22:55] Guest66415: yes, use that as the command instead of "setpci" [22:55] illytacos: Try #ubuntu-server [22:55] jrib, I was really puzzled when the boot disk also provided an undreadable resolution. have used ubuntu from cd on that monitor before, just on a different computer, and it worked fine [22:56] pudgypaw: did you try the troubleshooting steps on the page ubottu linked you to already? [22:56] rifter: weird [22:56] yes [22:56] jrib: It looks like the script just needs to run two commands, 'sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B' and 'sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=%x' where %x is an integer. I think that an entry can be made that will only allow setpci to be run with that set of commands which would be more secure, but don't know the syntax off the top of my head. [22:56] i am trying to make a web page play a sound in firefox (a chat, "beep" if my name is mentioned) - please help me out, what should I search the web for? [22:56] AndrewMC: thanks! I'll give it a whirl. [22:56] jrib ok i think it worked THanks so much ill have to test it now [22:56] jrib, yeah so I am bringing over a different monitor, too, which is exactly like the one I am using now so it will definitely work [22:56] jrib is it dangerous what i did [22:56] Guest66415: see what Jordan_U said. I'm not sure of the syntax either Jordan_U [22:56] also, did 50+ builds this week alone trying to solve the issue, it seems centered around PHP repo and it only started breaking this week, suspecting repo sys [22:57] rifter: good idea [22:57] pudgypaw: "php repo"? [22:57] jrib well hopefuly its not because this isnt my computer its a friends [22:57] php repositories [22:57] jrib im gona test it now [22:57] Guest66415: well the issue is a setpci command won't prompt for a password anymore for users in the admin group [22:57] i mean what you get when you "sudo apt-get install php5, etc" [22:58] pudgypaw: php works fine for me on lucid. I've never encountered a scenario where the troubleshooting steps didn't uncover the problem [22:59] jrib: php worked fine for me too up till last week.. i could run through everything.. again [23:00] tried apache+php, LAMP, nginx+php/fastcgi, on EC2-AMI, virtualbox, Slicehost, dedicated hosting, etc [23:00] pudgypaw: find the common denominator I guess [23:01] jrib: after 5 days of different combos I'm pegging it at the php repo, but doubing myself too lol [23:01] jrib It worked Thanks [23:01] does anyone here use bitlbee? I found it through Synaptic Package Manager, installed it, and now I don't see it anywhere... === curtis is now known as Guest47095 [23:01] pudgypaw: well if that was the case, there would be a pretty popular bug open I imagine [23:02] Infoverload: whereis bitlbee [23:02] jrib: exactly, should have blown wide open by now if it was the case [23:02] Infoverload: probably in /usr/bin [23:02] love the ubuntu community! always get the best of help !see you next time! [23:02] pudgypaw: Thats what happens when you use a distro that insists on modifying the source to the point where its no longer recognizable [23:02] bitlbee? [23:03] windowshasyou: well, i didn't get into this until 4 months ago.. was a bio major [23:03] Infoverload: you can find it via terminal by typing locate bitlbee [23:03] ubuntu was my natural entry point for linuxworld [23:04] Infoverload - it's in /usr/sbin [23:04] time to shove all my configs on fresh builds again x.x [23:05] can somebody help me with my server rpboblems [23:06] :( [23:06] slooksterpsv: thanks! [23:06] Is there a gui for laptop-mode-tools ? and is it ok to install it on a desktop computer? [23:06] sup [23:07] Q: I downloaded 10.10beta last night and attempted to install it today. During the boot process it landed in a busybox console and seemed to be complaining that it was unable to mount something called loop4. Sorry but I didn't write down the exact wording and have forgotten. Are there any known issues/workaround with the 10.10b amd64 cd I should know about? [23:08] MattTheComputerG: Try in #ubuntu-server [23:08] Is the new Ubuntu 10.10 Beta good? Watching a video on it.. [23:08] Should I get Ubuntu 10.10 Beta or wait till the full version? [23:09] I got 10.5.4 or w\e now [23:09] I updated my Ubuntu 10.10 beta today, but then Skype stopped work [23:09] I have tested it on 4 computers. [23:09] And Skype doesn't work. [23:09] DOOOOOOOOOOOD: are you a developer ? [23:09] How do you update and keep everything? [23:09] DOOOOOOOOOOD: I do not know if it is any good. I have yet to get it installed. If you are unsure and you need your computer to be reliable use the stable version. [23:10] DOOOOOOOOOOOD: use 10.04. update when it comes out - the update manager will do it for you. [23:10] gerzel: #ubuntu+1 for 10.10 [23:10] Ok, thnx Linxeh [23:10] hey, can I get some help installing a file? I'm new to linux, have my video drivers and everything installed, and am trying to install vendetta online... [23:11] I have the .sh, but I'm unclear how to run it [23:11] I can [23:11] DOOOOOOOD: The beta is for developers and those like me who have a back-up system and just want to play around with it out of curiosity(aka guineepigs) [23:11] #ubuntu+1 [23:11] gerzel: could I mess with it in Virtual Box [23:11] I followed the instructions on the website, to no avail [23:11] DOOOOOOD: Yes you certainly could do that if you were so inclined. [23:12] DOOOOOOOOOOOD: May I inquire what to do? @.@ [23:12] DOOOOOOOOOOOD: sure using it in Vbox is a great way to test [23:12] Ok, thanks everyone! I'm gonna go try it now and chat while I examine it :D [23:12] I love Xchat, a friendly environment that's.. [23:13] .that's helpfull [23:13] Someone? [23:13] Jhh [23:13] I'm having some display problems and hoping someone can point me in the right direction for troubleshooting. If I login and then select switch users it simply takes me to a black screen with nothing but the mouse pointer. From there I can switch to other virtual consoles, and if I hit Ctrl+Alt+F7 I get the prompt as though I'd locked the screen. However, there seems to be no way to actually switch to another user's desktop. [23:13] hello, im reinstalling ubuntu on my notebook, but besides the windows partition, i got a 10gb / folder, is it too shallow? [23:13] dependso n what you intall [23:13] The machine is running an up-to-date copy of lucid, lspci reports the video chipset as Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500], and lsmod seems to show the "radeon" driver in use. [23:13] err depends on what you install (damn typos) [23:14] I love Ubuntu [23:14] Someone, please? [23:14] ugh, nevermind, I gotta go [23:14] unperson ~ install the fglrx kernel module [23:14] apt-cache search fglrx [23:14] deryl, It looks as though my chipset is not supported. [23:14] Protomole: chmod +x foo.sh [23:14] and change the Driver "radeon" line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to Driver "fglrx" and restart [23:14] ./foo.sh [23:14] hrmm i was sure it was [23:14] Protomole: also, asking all the time is considered rude [23:15] I'm sorry, but I felt a tad ignored, adn like my message was going by the wasteside [23:15] deryl, I don't the proprietary driver as an option if I go through the hardware drivers dialog. [23:15] well never hurts to try it anyways :shrug: [23:16] deryl, I'm not sure I ever found iron-clad word one way or another. (All my previous experience is with Nvidia, where this is pretty straightforward) [23:16] Protomole: irc can be overwhelming, at first ;) [23:16] unperson - what was the issue? unable to install graphics on... [23:16] but people see & answer, most of the time [23:16] unperson ~ ahh never used an nvidia [23:16] Hehe, except I've been on IRC for years <.< [23:16] ati or voodoos [23:16] Usually chat channels though, rarely Support :-) [23:16] deryl, Suffice it to say, I did try it and it was still exhibiting similar but slightly different pathological behavior. [23:16] hey guys, how can I insert alt codes in writer, and are they the same numbers as they are on windows [23:16] unperson ~ got ya [23:17] alguna minita [23:17] in that case, you know how annoying it can be if a few people keep on spamming the same thing ;) [23:17] slooksterpsv, If I try to switch users I just get a black screen with a mouse cursor. [23:17] Pinguy OS is sick [23:17] slooksterpsv, From there I can still switch to other VCs. And if I hit Ctrl+Alt+F7 I get back the prompt as though I'd locked the screen. [23:18] unperson - so have you installed the proprietary drivers yet? [23:18] slooksterpsv, But there appears to be no way to actually switch to another user. [23:18] unperson - ok; and you said the drivers weren't installed correct? [23:18] slooksterpsv, As I said, I tried to but got slightly different but similar pathological behavior. [23:18] Is there any way I can install an os on a usb and install it to my computer via usb? I'm sick of waisting CD's lol [23:18] unperson - open a terminal and see if the command aticonfig works [23:19] slooksterpsv, Also, it appeared to me that my chipset was not supported by the proprietary driver. [23:19] slooksterpsv, Okay, one sec. [23:19] wow i guess my mouse freeze issue is so common they deleted my post in ubuntu forums [23:19] I need this for french homework guys so also if you know the coodes for accent aigu accent greve circonflex and cedile that would be great [23:20] eross: What's goin on? [23:20] eross: with your mouse [23:20] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1554604&page=2 i just added it to the end of this thread [23:20] eross do you have a netbook [23:20] re: toshiba satellite C650D problems [23:20] slooksterpsv, There doesn't appear to be any aticonfig command available. [23:20] no desktop latest ubuntu [23:20] got it all working [23:20] unperson - ok, that's alright, is this a desktop or mobile computer? [23:20] eross look at your function keys is there anything that looks like a mouse [23:20] running awn/compiz in blender or 3d game, if i hit middle mouse button and another button, it kills my mouse and i have to reboot. [23:21] slooksterpsv, Desktop. As I said before, lspci shows the chipset in question is Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500] [23:21] slooksterpsv, I don't know ATI cards, but I assume that's a pretty old one. [23:21] unperson - sorry i was away when all that was typed [23:21] unperson - it is I had one about 6-7 years ago [23:21] slooksterpsv, Right, no problem. Always appreciative of help. [23:22] using logitech wireless optical, has more buttons than 3-key mouse otherwise would fall back to wired one [23:22] mouse doesn't die totally, i can move the middle scroll wheel side to side - btw i meant i hit the middle mouse scroll wheel as a button [23:23] one solution was to remove irqbalance but didn't seem to be end-all [23:23] unperson - have you went through: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver - to try and resolve the issue? it uses the mesa driver instead of fglrx [23:24] I want to run this executable.

[23:25] eross: that means Linux is going to pwn Windows on its own terrain. [23:25] i add this line in rc.local. [23:26] halvors: You could try adding it to /etc/rc.local [23:26] slooksterpsv, I did look at the info on chipsets there at one point. I haven't gone through the troubleshooting. I guess I can give that a shot. [23:26] did one of you played with the montage app? [23:26] java -jar /home/myuser/minecraft.jar nogui [23:26] But then all output files where saved in /home/myuser not /home/myuser/minecraft... [23:26] halvors: that is if you want to have it start on boot [23:27] unperson - more of uninstall fglrx and reinstall the mesa drivers [23:27] But how get started it from /home/myuser/minecraft using the rc.local file? [23:27] brb [23:27] unperson - start at the section titled Removing the proprietary FLGRX Driver [23:28] slooksterpsv, Yup, on it. Thanks. We'll see if it's useful.

[23:33] It's a Xubuntu 10.04 [23:34] nvm that didn't work :( === Zach is now known as Guest79765 [23:34] unperson - how's that coming along so far? [23:35] bazhang: sorry, I wil [23:35] slooksterpsv, Ran through those instructions and restarted the machine. The behavior seems basically the same, although not rather than being a blank screen on user switching it has a line through it (some garbled video output I guess). [23:36] unperson - ouch.. hmmm well there is a recommended configuration for your xorg file down below, let's go through that now [23:37] halvors: I found the irc channel for minecraft: irc server: irc.esper.net - Channel: #MineCraftHelp [23:37] Yes... [23:37] slooksterpsv, Okay, I'll take a look. I assume you're thinking of the section on the "customized" Xorg.conf [23:37] I'll be happy to see you over there, and perhaps we can figure this out with the help of the guys over there. [23:37] agentgasmask: But do you got an solotion? [23:37] unperson - yeah, otherwise you can try and delete the xorg.conf file and have it generate a new one (not recommended) [23:38] slooksterpsv, The current Xorg.conf is extremely generic. [23:38] halvors: I'm not a wiz at java, but I can hack around. [23:38] Better question: How Do i select between Xorg GLX/Opengl and Nvidia proprietary GLX/Opengl in ubuntu ? [23:38] slooksterpsv, Certainly autogenerated at some point. [23:39] unperson - lets try to configure with the custom configuration, I had to do that with 6.06 to get 3d acceleration/composition [23:40] unperson - DRI and Composition for sure do that part [23:40] slooksterpsv, I don't know if it's relevant, but when I did 'glxinfo | grep vendor' I get "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig" [23:40] Virtual Box is REALLY laggy [23:40] agentgasmask: Ok, so there is impossible to run it in the /home/myuser/minecraft directory? [23:41] My Machine won't load [23:41] slooksterpsv, Okay, I'll give it a shot. === kad__ is now known as helper [23:42] slooksterpsv, Should I do this by hand or via dpkg-reconfigure (if that's still possible). [23:43] Is there anyone here I can bounce issues with pam vs openldap ? [23:43] unperson - by hand first, we can always use dpkg-reconfigure later if we mess things up [23:43] agentgasmask: ??? [23:45] halvors: agent? what agent?! [23:45] halvors: sorry, my irc clent crashed. I'm in the minecraft help channel if you want to give it a go over there. If not, I'm sure someone else on here will be able to help you [23:45] Ok. [23:45] slooksterpsv, Alright, I'm busily trying to construct it. I'll bug you if I run into trouble. [23:45] hey, is there any apt-get for LAMP localhost server? [23:46] what kind of hex editor can i use? [23:46] unperson - ok, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf - may ease the editing [23:47] slooksterpsv, Heh, well I'm doing it in nano in a terminal. :-) [23:48] unperson - I love nano/pico my fave editor =D [23:48] how can i access to the X terminal? [23:48] Daniel1 - X terminal like xterm? [23:48] Yeah [23:48] Daniel1 - Press ALT+F2 and type in xterm into the box and choose run [23:49] oh thanks [23:49] Daniel1 - yw I like gnome-terminal personally [23:49] sure [23:50] nano editor? Right [23:51] Daniel1 - yup nano or pico [23:52] Daniel1 - the best GUI, in my opinion, is Gnome in reference to Windows Managers [23:53] Daniel1 - GUI designer depends on what kind of GUI you want, GTK, wxWidgets, QT, etc. [23:53] so...i'm trying to get an x with circumflex. [23:54] the unicode website says both that i can do it with (specific example, even) and that Doulos SIL will support it. one or both of these things appears to be false. any suggestions? [23:54] Daniel1 - Glade for GTK and wx (personally) QT, someone would know better [23:55] right [23:56] unperson how's it going lol [23:58] how can i speed up my internet connection? [23:59] slooksterpsv, Well, I wrote the new Xorg.conf. I included basically everything from that section except the "virtual" line. [23:59] unperson - good lol, I gotta go now going out of town for a few hours [23:59] slooksterpsv, okay
