erUSUL!firewall | cristian_00:00
ubottucristian_: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist.00:00
alex87erUSUL: i add files to each of the locations, but i'll see if i can work something out with it00:00
vinc1cristian_, ufw is a snap to use -- much, much easier than iptables commands00:00
xzengwhen i call $ xset dpms force off, why does it always turn off the backlight after a while?00:00
Spaztic_Onek, well, i'll be back in a couple then00:00
xzeng*why does it always turn ON the backlight after a while00:00
vinc1cristian_, plus, ufw, once enabled, will automatically remain enabled after reboot, until you type "ufw disable"00:00

cristian_ufw does offer graphical management with easy log view?00:00
vinc1cristian_, no, but there might be some other tool written to do that00:00
ActionParsnipGriFF3n: the ntfs is a partition, not a drive00:00
vinc1The log is pretty straight-forward.00:00
GriFF3nyea, sorry bout that00:00
vinc1It used to go to syslog, but I think the newer versions go to /var/log/ufw.log00:00
xzenganyone?00:00
ActionParsnipGriFF3n: if you have write access the the ubuntu partition and read access to the ntfs partition you are all set00:00
GriFF3nthe drive is formatted in NTFS, and i have it mounted with ntfs-3g00:00
jeeves_MossI know Ubuntu's ruby package is messed, but I can't remember the work around for this error.  anyone?  http://pastebin.ca/194997600:00
vinc1cristian_, the log is pretty straight-forward when you read it. Tells you who came in, what happened, where they wanted to go, etc.00:00
ActionParsnipGriFF3n: if you run: mount   you will see the permissions on the mount00:00
cristian_vinc1, i am searching for such tool, a tool with a graphical environment on outside control, something like a webpage.00:00

dgtlhi, can anyone help me? parted says, i have overlapping partitions00:00

vinc1cristian_, when dealing with TCP/UDP traffic on Linux, many of the tools are not GUI based, but command-line based. Just the way it's been for years. Now, there are sniffer tools that have a GUI, though. Such as Wireshark, TShark, etc.00:02

vinc1cristian_, but these GUI tools are very hard to use.00:02
Spaztic_OneOK, compiz --replace fixed my problem. What had happened, and what are these errors ( http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/7BntyhMz ) talking about?00:03
conb123Does ubuntu perform dns lookups more efficiently than Windows. Because I ran namebench on windows with my isp standard dns and it told me google public dns would be 50% faster , I then ran exactly the same thing in ubuntu and it told me that it would only be 4.8% faster00:03
vinc1must go. bbfn00:03
Spaztic_OneJordan_U: no, I did not.00:03
Jordan_USpaztic_One: You can get to a terminal via ctrl+alt+F1 (ctrl+alt+F7 to get back) then run "DISPLAY=:0.0 metacity --replace"00:03
edbianSpaztic_One, compiz crashed.  Looks like something low level in the code.00:03

yogurt_truckmaybe this is a bash question. nvm.01:03

WXZdoes anyone know how to copy to clipboard directly?01:15
WXZwhen taking a screenshot?01:15
xbonesxmattgyver, Dulak: TY01:15
Dulakxbonesx: 'cp -rp sourcdir destination' will do it recursively and preserve permissions01:15
mattgyverWXZ, just use gnome-screenshot??01:16
WXZbut it makes a window pop up01:16
xbonesx"sudo cp -R INT2MIL-Ubuntu-10.04-Eng/ /lib/plymouth/themes/" <--- so this will move the file within the drectory but not the folder???01:16
WXZI don't want that window to pop up01:16
Dulakxbonesx: -r not -R01:16
xbonesxDulak: differences?01:17
Dulakxbonesx: -R is for chmod, not cp01:17
xbonesxDulak: so in essence it will "chmod 755" the copied directory as well?01:17
Dulakxbonesx: what you posted there will copy (not move) and result in this: /lib/plymouth/themes/INT2MIL-Ubuntu-10.04-Eng/01:18
xbonesxDulak: correct, sry i meant to say copy not move...01:18
xbonesxDulak: :p01:18
Dulakxbonesx: nvm, I guess -R and -r are the same, they didn't used to be01:18
xbonesxDulak: ok TY01:19
xbonesxDulak: if i were to type "gksu nautilus" (it brings up a WM) can i move files in and out of "rooted" directory with permissions?01:20
Dulakxbonesx: you prolly want -rp otherwise all the files will get perms set according to the umask set in your shell, just fyi01:20
Dulakxbonesx: not sure on how nautilus would handle that, never done it myself01:20
xbonesxDulak: should try it out and test its abilities really quick if you dont mind...01:21
Dulakxbonesx: how about you test it and let me know?  I don't have any need to do that, I use the terminal for that type of thing.  I'm old.01:22
DulakThis whole gui thing confuses me, and makes me cranky.01:23
xbonesxDulak: lol no problem, i need to get used to using the term more anyways... this "http://paste.ubuntu.com/501840/" is where that command came from, after reviewing do you still think i should use "-rp" rather than "-R"01:24
QuutarI am trying to compile gcc under ubuntu 10.04.1 and I am getting this error - http://pastebin.com/s7dW8Yda (all the help i could find says to install ia32-libs-dev but it is no more... i tried those three suggestions... still no dice)01:24

jribQuutar: why are you compiling gcc instead of using the gcc in the repositories?01:25
Quutari want 4.5.1 with three optional libraries01:25
jribQuutar: why?01:25
Dulakxbonesx: without the p all the files copied will get the perms reset to say 755, if your umask is 022 which is default.  With the p it will preserve the existing perms on the files, which is what you want.  -r or -R they are identical, one is an alias for the other01:25
Quutari want the link time optimizations, the ppl, and the gloog additions01:25

tdroidAnyone know how to fix wireless on 10.04 for an Aspire One? I'm getting CRC errors on everything I download.01:33

DulakThat was funny.01:44
Name141Jordan_U: I just removed sda1 (which was NTFS and WindowsXP.) to ext4 and more free space.  So I need to remove the option to boot in to WindowsXP01:44
Name141From the menu01:44
Jordan_UName141: "sudo update-grub"01:44
naptasticName141, usually /boot/grub/grub.cfg however it's generated automatically and any changes you make will be lost whenever you (ie) install a new kernel01:44

Braber01um is there a way to have ubuntu use the Termnal as a login prompt / then use a command to get to my desktop?01:46
tdroidBraber01, edit /etc/init/gdb.conf and add "and never" after filesystem01:48
Jordan_UName141: When no other OSs are detected (i.e. only the one Ubuntu install) the timeout is automatically changed to 0 (hold shift during boot to see the menu). You can override this default timeout in /etc/default/grub (be sure to run "sudo update-grub" after making changes to that file).01:48
tdroidBraber01, then use "startx" to get to your desktop01:48
Braber01tdroid: to edit that I need to use sudoedit right?01:49
Name141Jordan_U: I'm assuming GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 is the time to change01:50
Jordan_UName141: Yes.01:50
mcgyber0o0Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/501845/01:50
Jordan_UName141: Here is the list of options for /etc/default/grub : http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Simple-configuration01:51
Name141Jordan_U: OK.  I just hope the OS doesn't break, the CD-RW finally croked over earlier today after install.01:53
Jordan_Umcgyber0o0: Odd. I don't see anything wrong.01:53

Jordan_UName141: Boot floppy :)01:53
Name141Jordan_U: the floppy drive might still work, I have no idea lol01:54
Braber01I add never in the line that says "start on (filesystem" right?01:54

zachlr#ubuntu-unregged always asks me the same question; it doesn't really serve any purpose then.01:56
Jordan_Umcgyber0o0: Add "GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES=part_msdos" to /etc/default/grub then run "sudo update-grub".01:56
mcgyber0o0i think that was it. what does this actually do?01:56
mcgyber0o0Jordan_u: where should i add it?01:58
Jordan_Umcgyber0o0: It makes grub load support for reading msdos partition tables. Because Ubuntu isn't using an msdos partition table (using GPT instead) it doesn't by default.01:58
Jordan_Umcgyber0o0: Anywhere. To the end will work.01:58

jribdominicdinada: what?  another what?02:20
=== DarkBear is now known as Sly[FoX]
dominicdinadajrib: howto in regards to get ffmpeg installed correctly02:20
HabstinatZykoticK9, I could do that ever since I typed in compiz --replace.02:20
jribdominicdinada: yeah, use apt.  Then you won't have these headaches02:21
dominicdinadajrib aptitude*02:21
ZykoticK9Habstinat, hummm strange.  glad you got it working.02:21
jribdominicdinada: whatever apt frontend you want02:21
dominicdinadajrib: I thought i went this route before.02:22
ZykoticK9Habstinat, FYI you might be interested in fusion-icon it gives an icon to switch between compiz/metacity & has a reload windows manager button02:22
jribdominicdinada: not sure what that means...02:22
ZykoticK9dominicdinada, the point that jrib is dancing around, why are YOU using the compiled version of things instead of the repository versions?02:23
dominicdinadaZykoticK9: The point that I made clear is most of the repo versions are way outdated02:24
ZykoticK9!latest | dominicdinada02:24
ubottudominicdinada: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are  only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.02:24
HabstinatZykoticK9, thanks, I'll try that out.02:24
dominicdinadaZykoticK9: of course i knew that was the point, As i said about 4 times... The versions are super old02:24
jribdominicdinada: good luck with your issue.  My suggestion is you use the repositories, get rid of whatever you compiled, and try to stick with the repositories in the future02:24
Braber01question-> now that I have a text-based login how can I get my keyring actvated? or whatever you call it on login so I don't have to "startx" to go online02:25
erossdo i need to disable compiz to play opengl games? a couple of windowed games seem to shear, no smooth movement02:25
anandadd startx in .bashrc02:25
icarus-canand, don't do that02:25
anandBraber01, add startx to .bashrc02:25
Braber01um no I don't want to automaticaly login like that02:25
dominicdinadaZykoticK9: jrib: and not to be smug i didn't ask how to install ffmpeg i asked why even after my lame make and make install all went smooth. Why it wouldnt install02:25
ZykoticK9Braber01, you'd need some method of configuring your wireless without nm-applet (the gnome application), you'd either have to use some manual network magic, or perhaps use wicd (IF it has a non-gui application)02:26
anandicarus-c, y????02:26
icarus-canand, that will be executed everytime you run bash(e.g starting a new gnome-terminal instance)02:26
apersonwould chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm make my computer boot straight to a tty?02:26
anandicarus-c, oh yes everytime we open terminal it happens... right??02:26
icarus-canand, exactly02:26

rwwcnetworkmanager is nice too, but I don't think Lucid has it.02:27

dominicdinadaZykoticK9: and out of the 1500 active users in here i am sure that 30% of so have built and installed lame 3.98.4  for ffmpeg02:27
rwwdominicdinada: I highly doubt that.02:28
ZykoticK9dominicdinada, me too02:28
lhxdominicdinada: i doubt that too... what's the point of running ubuntu if you're going to compile shit?02:28
essialHey the people in #mac said it was dangerous to run Ubuntu 10.04 on a new iMac as it doesn't handle the fans correctly02:28

essialI just don't wanna burn up the hardware02:29
lhxdominicdinada: there's a bit of difference... and what's wrong with mac?02:29
lhxdominicdinada: I would not be picking a debian-based distro if i was going to compile a lot of things on my own02:29
craigbass1976essial, what's googling turned up for you?  Did you get membership in any mac forums when you bought the box?  Surely someone has tried it and wrote something about it02:29
lhxdominicdinada: that's all I meant02:29
essialI mean I have it running on my iMac right now02:30
essialI know linux very well, and no, google isn't saying much either way02:30
dominicdinadalhx:  was being facetious but now that you mention it. MACS have had the most Reported security flaws the last 2 years :D02:30
lhxessial: go get one of the free temp monitors...02:30
craigbass1976essial, have you got lmsensors installed?02:30
essialno, i'll install that02:30
nomasteryodawow... a flood bot02:30
FlynsarmyWhen installing latest ubuntu I copied a bunch of repositories into my sources.list apt file. As a result I have several that aren't authenticated properly and can't use teh GUI updator - can only do it from the command line. How can I force them to authenticate?02:31
lhxdominicdinada: well... I like mac as a desktop... can't stand it as a server.02:31
craigbass1976essial, there are a couple, you may have to try more than one (not all can communicate with all boards) and just keep an eye on your temps for a while02:31
icarus-cessial, you just need to run sensors and verify fan speed (if available) and cpu temp02:31
dominicdinadalhx:  afterall MAC is a *mix02:31
icarus-cessial, and maybe hddtemp too02:31
essialwell honestly, my mac runs scary hot even in OSX :p02:31
dominicdinada*nix even02:31
ZykoticK9lhx, dominicdinada the Mac conversation is OT here02:31
anandeverything is from UNIX although ...........02:31
craigbass1976essial, and if you can, find out what the temps and fan speeds are supposed to be, according to Mac02:31
icarus-cMach + NetBSD ~= Mac OS X :P02:31
essiali'm talking 73c for the "power supply sensor"02:31
essialthanks goodness I didn't buy it for gaming02:32
craigbass1976essial, I've got a dell like that, but it's bacause one of the heat sinks got loose on a quick trip down some stairs...02:32
lhxZykoticK9: i bet you feel REALLY powerful huh?02:32
essialwell although I CAN open it up I really don't want to until I pass the standard warranty period02:32
dominicdinadalhx:  dont get banned :/02:33
craigbass1976essial, no, everything is probably fine.  I knew somethign was up with mine because it was hot, I knew I dropped it, and something rattled that didn't used to.02:33
essialIs it OT? I was asking about running ubuntu on it02:33
lhxessial: Both OSX and run something CPU intensive... see what that temp is sand see what the fan rate is and then make sure ubuntu doesn't go over that02:33
essialgood I loves me some ubuntu02:33
craigbass1976essial, I think there's another mac conversation going on that's not about ubuntu02:33
ZykoticK9essial, you mac issue isn't OT, but the conversation surrounding macs is :)02:34
essialah ok :)02:34
lhxdominicdinada: no intention of getting banned... sometimes the anal retentive types really grind my gears02:34
essialwell what am I doing in OSX, i'm rebooting again :p02:34
rwwyour discussion of what is and isn't OT is OT, this is Ubuntu support, not Ubuntu support metadiscussion.02:34

ugliefrogi need to know how to change the /tmp area to my new parttion..is it a command for the terminal02:44
Dr_WillisYea. that 'mail' icon in the notification area is supposed to be the way mail apps 'notify' users now a day.02:44
Dr_Willisugliefrog:  mount /tmp to the new location. a fstab entry would be the normal way to set it up at boot time.02:44
Jon--I am having trouble compiling g++ code with some libraries. What do I need to add to $PATH, or ensure is already there?02:45
ZykoticK9ugliefrog, Dr_Willis's fstab point is an important one, if you always want it to mount to the same spot, add it to the fstab file02:45
Dr_WillisHmm here i seem to have... (from mount)02:45
Dr_Willistmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,noatime,mode=1777)02:45
Dr_WillisIm not sure how tmpfs differs from tmp...02:45

vbgunzim really at a lost in grub atm. How do I add a dummy entry to 40_custom **so** that it's a dummy **but** shows up in the grub menu as a sort of aesthetic category title? It serves no other purpose. just a title that when you click on it, it does nothing. How?02:46

anandcan anyone explain what is a "git" ????02:49
* naptastic sighs deeply02:49
naptasticanand, git is a distributed version control system.02:49
ZykoticK9Dr_Willis, i didn't recognize the tmpfs when you mentioned it, so i went looking.  my main hd failed the other week, so i lost my 10.10 since alpha1 partition :(02:49
ramontayaganand, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software)02:50
anandnaptastic, it has any relation with installing packages02:50
ramontayagauto linking doesn't work properly here (for me) so you may need to copy and paste the whole thing02:50
naptasticanand, only obliquely. Git is useful (as far as the end user is concerned) for downloading source code so you can compile it yourself.02:50
naptasticanand, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%2902:50
anandnaptastic, thanks 4 the link02:51

SunderphonsparrW, what?02:54
DarkRedmanIs there anyway to get support service from Canonical without paying for one year ?! It's just to fix some problems.02:55
sparrWSunderphon: ten years ago it was possible to do analglyph stereo 3d on nvidia cards in linux. based on that, I would expect it to still be possible02:55

Zelfjeif the specific nvidia card is suported ic no reason why not (nvidea has good *nix drivers)02:57
Dr_Willisanand:  theres repo tools in synaptic...  you could use.. or edit the files by hand..02:57
anandDr_Willis, ok will try now02:58
Dr_Willisanand:  you really shouldent be adding new entries to /etc/apt/sources.list  instead use the files in /etc/apt/apt.sources.d02:58
SunderphonZelfje, I can't find drivers that support it is the thing. I'm using a GTS 250, if it helps any. I don't know where to look. The Nvidia site mentions nothing about it02:58
Loshkidetrix42: I don't believe so. It has a searchable mailing list though. Try here: http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/support.cipp  And you can ask here, of course...02:58

waaadeso when i run rtorren & in terminal it immediately stops instead of running as a daemon.  Does anyone know why?02:59
sparrWSunderphon: I believe I was using the Quadro drivers to do it03:00
Dr_WillisLoshki:  because you cant accidently trash your sourcves.list file then.. the whole point of the sources.d setup is so you dont have to mess with the main config file..03:00
lhxwaaade: or you could just run rtorrent inside of a screen session03:00
Dr_WillisLoshki:  and its much easier to add/remove single entries by making a single file. then messing with the bigger file.03:00
LoshkiDr_Willis: I see, thanks...03:00
SunderphonsparrW, link?03:00
waaadewhat is screen?03:00
rww!screen03:01
ubottuScreen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen03:01
Dr_WillisLoshki:  every tutorial/wiki/blog i see that say to edit sources.list should be using the sources.list.d method :)03:01
sparrWSunderphon: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/173.14.09/README/appendix-b.html search for "stereo"03:01
Dr_WillisLoshki:  i always post a comment on such sites as i find them03:01
sparrWrww: I once used a "window manager" for terminal sessions that provided an ncurses(like) GUI for handling smaller "windows" that could be moved and overlap and such. any idea what that was? kicked screen's butt.03:02
anandhow to fix broken packages??03:02
LoshkiDr_Willis: it's always annoyed me to have multiple places to configure stuff, but your rationale seems reasonable...03:02
Dr_WillisLoshki:  I find it more annoying when 100 differnt things try to alter the same very critical config file..03:02
SunderphonsparrW, it's not that kind of 3D. It's the coloured red/blue 3D I'm looking for03:02
rwwsparrW: no idea, sorrt03:03
sparrWSunderphon: yes, it would appear at first glance that that option has been removed03:03
rwwsorry **03:03
Dr_WillisLoshki:  the apt settings files have a similer method also.03:03
DarkRedman:(03:03
SunderphonsparrW, plus, that page states that the only cards to support that feature are the Quadro cards03:03
fridgeratorwhen trying to play windows games through wine, if i just open the game normal I dont get any sound with ALSA selected in winecfg... if I switch to OSS and use padsp to open the program I get sound but its all scratchy... any ideas?03:03
Dr_WillisLoshki:  its basically gone from a single 'file' to a 'directory' that you are altering  isolated files in that should make it easier to debug.03:03
sparrWSunderphon: that page lies.03:03
[IRAQI]emma did you losted your mind with you are member ?? so Learn next time do not bankick any user without really reason :)03:03
Dr_Williswork time for me.03:03
DarkRedmanWhat a pity I can save my data and have Canonical support to fix it03:04
LoshkiDr_Willis: I guess both are annoying. Erring on the side of helping people not blow up their configs too easily does seem worth while...03:04

vbgunzsorry. I had no idea holding ctrl+enter would do that03:04

icarus-camitprakash, /etc/X1103:19
macoamitprakash: xorg.conf has been unnecessary for....3 years i think03:19
icarus-camitprakash, and no xorg.conf by default03:19
amitprakashmaco, ah so how does one specify the driver?03:19
icarus-camitprakash, auto detect03:19
amitprakashdisplay driver i.e.03:19
icarus-camitprakash, but when you want to specify one driver, you need xorg.conf03:19
macoamitprakash: generally it should autodetect03:19
amitprakashfor nvidia binaries?03:19
Swabby<icarus-c> Ok, will try that but seems like a hassle to do that every time.03:19
macoamitprakash: you *can* make an xorg.conf if autodetect fails, but default is not to have one03:20
amitprakashah ok :)03:20
amitprakashgreat03:20
icarus-camitprakash, you could obtain a "default" xorg.conf (the one autodetect)  by  "Xorg -configure"03:20
icarus-cand then change driver there03:20
icarus-cdon't forget to put it back to  /etc/X11/xorg.conf03:20

Loshkidublisk: nomachine claims to be faster than everything else. If NX is too slow for you, I'm with icarus-c: ssh and the cli03:26
prettyrobotsRemote monitoring of Ubuntu? Nothing?03:26
dubliskdo you have any idea what sort of ping time I need?03:27
icarus-cdublisk, 0~1ms ?03:27
dubliskeverything seems so ridiculously slow03:27
glebihanxbonesx: in that case, you can uninstall old kernels using synaptic, they will then automatically be removed from grub03:27
xbonesxprettyrobots: if your using remote viewing i recommend teamviewer03:27
prettyrobotsWhat is remote viewing?03:27
DarkRedmanHow to get help from canonical support but just to fix some heavy bugs instead of to have a one-year support ?03:27
icarus-cmonitor.. not remote viewing (desktop)03:27
dubliskmy ping time is like ~300ms03:27
prettyrobotsI've only ever used Munin. I'd like something a bit more flexible.03:27
xbonesxglebihan: oh i didnt know that... thought they might be a important part of the system...03:27

mamece2hello,  i run resources administrator in windows the ram usage its at 900 mb (i got 1 GB) and 10% of processor usage, when i run ubuntu monitor it says 500 mb of ram usage and 80% of processor usage, WHY?03:29
xbonesxglebihan: right, makes sense, only needs to boot from one, but didnt know you could remove them, thought they were still part of the system lol :/03:29
prettyrobotsxbonesx: Was thinking more along the lines of Munin. Remote logging, or inspecting system health.03:29
Loshkidublisk: ping times depend more on the network than on the app's you're using. What kind of link is it?03:29
Barridusxbonesx, yeah i usually keep the latest old one that worked for sure, for a while.  then when i'm certain it's not needed, i remove it03:29
xbonesxprettyrobots: trying to spy on your own system?03:29
dubliskcable modem03:29
Barridusxbonesx, i got burned bad by a kernel update once, it's handy to keep at least 1 old one03:29
xbonesxBarridus: sounds like a good idea, but can i remove the entry from the menu for now03:29
prettyrobotsxbonesx: Visualization of the logging of multiple systems.03:30
DarkRedmanNWho could help me ?03:30
prettyrobotsLike Munin.03:30
icarus-cdublisk, the math is easy, basically, you are sending screen resolution times color bits times FPS size of data in a second through remote desktop.  and each TCP/IP packet is just 4K (some used for protocol data). plus a 300ms delay each packet.  so remote desktop must be lag as hell03:30
prettyrobotshttp://munin-monitoring.org/03:30
glebihanxbonesx: they're not really part of the system, they're just not automatically removed when a new version of the kernel is installed03:30
Barridusxbonesx, sometimes they update the kernel without actually giving you a new one.  that's how i got burned, the update broke support for my hardware.  i would have been screwed if i didn't have the previous kernel release03:30
glebihanxbonesx: which btw can sometimes save your life if you happen to install a buggy kernel03:30
Barridusyeah basically what glebihan is saying too03:31
Loshkifoo: your data is still there. But your disk hardware is (going) bad. See if you can mount the disk...03:31
Barridusi always keep 203:31
xbonesxglebihan: ok well how can i remove the entry, and still leave it possible to boot from?03:31

jonkrii'm trying to get my dell 2007fp external monitor to work on ubuntu. apparantly it's something wrong with the edid data because i don't get the 1600x1200 resolution automatically. i have a thinkpad and the default monitor runs 1400x1050. this is my xorg.conf: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/268337/. while the default monitor runs its standard resolution, i only get 1024x768 at the external. here's the log: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/268338/. any help03:31
jonkriwould be really appreciated, i have been trying for hours...03:31
Barridusi want to say hardy's late kernel update (maybe the last?  i don't know) broke me03:32
xbonesxglebihan: for instance if i need to boot from it i will type manually from a cmd line in grub2 but i dont want the entry viewable03:32
dubliskmaybe something with my internet connection is messed up03:32
icarus-cdublisk, what's the ping for03:33
glebihanxbonesx: you can delete the corresponding menu entry from /boot/grub/grub.cfg03:33
dubliskjust checking my ping times03:33
icarus-cdublisk, ............................. you misunderstand the network thing03:33
glebihanxbonesx: but it will be put back next time a new kernel version is installed and update-grub is run03:33
dublisk?03:33
icarus-cdublisk, you want to ping your remote desktop server from your client.  not pinging freenode/ me03:33
danryanhowdy, I'm trying to install openjdk-6-jre-headless on a fresh install of 10.04, and the package hangs every time.  I duplicated my results on 5 different machines.  Are there any alternative packages to this one that will provide the same basic software for apps that require java?03:34
dubliskYeah, and it was 300ms which seemd high so I'm thinking maybe something is up with my internet connection in general03:34
xbonesxglebihan: only in the event of a kernel update? nothing else?03:34
|multipass|I upgraded my nvidia drivers to 256.53 but ubuntu crashed.. is there anything else I can do? (8800 GTS)03:34
glebihanxbonesx: nothing else unless you manually run update-grub03:34
icarus-cdublisk, where is your server and your client?03:34
dublisksame city03:34
icarus-cdublisk, home?  office? oversea?03:34
dubliskoffice and home03:35
icarus-cdublisk, so you should use your home machine to ping the office one (or reverse)03:35
xbonesxglebihan: where the file that updates the grub, i will edit that one rather than the actual one...03:35
Loshkifoo: the journal is a kind of cache to increase the reliability of the data. It's actually optional, but the fact that it was damaged means the disk is failing.03:35
xbonesxwhere's*03:35
dubliskI did, and it was ~300ms03:35
icarus-cdublisk, but that shouldn't be fast enough for smooth remote desktop anyway03:36
icarus-cwow... what city is that03:36
dublisktoronto03:36
dubliskmaybe my ISP is acting up03:36
glebihanxbonesx: what do you mean, the file that updates the grub ? update-grub ?03:36
icarus-ci would expect <50ms within the same city03:36
fooLoshki: could it have been from an improper shutdown? badblocks on the drive reported 0 badblocks03:36
icarus-cdublisk, but yea.. you need LAN / fibre network to use remote desktop smoothly :P03:37
xbonesxglebihan: ya i know the real file exist in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, boot there is one you can edit to where when you run update grub it modifies the /boot/grub/grub.cfg03:37
icarus-cdublisk, why not just ssh/terminal ?03:37
dubliskpinging www.rogers.com is taking me >200ms03:37
dubliskto do dev work with an ide03:37
dubliskrogers being the isp03:37
icarus-cdublisk,   you sure its server is located in your city?03:38
glebihanxbonesx: oh yes, grub.cfg is generated using /etc/default/grub but you won't be able to remove items from the menu there03:38
dubliskis there a way to grap my ISP IP address somehow to test it?03:38
Jordan_Uxbonesx: Just remove the old kernels using apt/ Software Center.03:39
xbonesxglebihan: what would be the one i could?03:39
icarus-cdublisk, plenty of network speed test out there.  but you wouldn't have a sweet remote desktop experience anyway03:39
xbonesxJordan_U: i want to keep them incase of whatever. like recommended by glebihan03:39
dubliskyeah I used windows remote desktop all the time03:39
dubliskand you couldn't tell it was remote03:39
glebihanxbonesx: well grub.cfg, but as I said it will only last until next kernel update03:40
glebihanxbonesx: I don't know about any other grub config file03:40
Loshkifoo: you need to look at the SMART disk data instead of badblocks. Modern disks try to hide bad blocks away from the operating system so badblocks isn't as useful as it used to be. sudo apt-get install smartmontools03:40
macoxbonesx: /etc/default/grub  then run "sudo update-grub" to generate a new grub.cfg03:40
xbonesxmaco: ya i know...03:41
xbonesxglebihan: well didnt they just release a kernel update not too long ago for lucid?03:41
glebihanxbonesx: yes just a few days ago I think03:42

Izinucsmamece2, you can find out what's eating the processor by looking in the system monitor or from cli by using top03:50
Ryenmamece2: Because Windows and Ubuntu are two different operating systems, and the usage would be dependant on whats open.03:50

rwwhtop > top03:53
mamece2ryen , ok i know it depends of the program that im running, ive opened the same programs, music player, tweetdeck and mozilla03:54
Jordan_Uxbonesx: No. You would have to edit /etc/grub.d/10_linux , and I don't recommend doing that.03:54
Izinucsmamece2, if you're running tweetdeck then you're also running adobeair .. that might be the culprit03:54
doc|homeanyone got a good, recent, walk through for setting up a hauppauge remote control with lirc?03:54

kepp1oHi y'all!  Anyone know how to restart samba services in ubuntu 10.04.1?04:15
kepp1osudo /etc/init.d/samba restart doesnt work04:15
arrrghhhkepp1o, sudo service smbd restart04:15
arrrghhh/etc/init.d isn't used any longer04:15
arrrghhhwell, for most things.04:16
kepp1oah that worked04:16
kepp1owhy did they have to go change it on me.  There goes all of my scripts.04:16
=== bastidrazor is now known as bastid_raZor
arrrghhhkepp1o, yes, use the upstart service command from now on.  "sudo service <servicename> restart04:16
twoadaygood to knw04:17
arrrghhhkepp1o, they're still there in /etc/init.d, but starting/stopping them from there is deprecated.04:17
arrrghhhsome you still can start/stop from there, some will outright complain that you shouldn't use that method :P04:17
kepp1ogood to know.  I looked in there, samba wasnt there.  is it for ubuntu only or all varients of linux?04:18
brainsikIs anyone here familiar with AppArmor?04:18
arrrghhhkepp1o, depends.  it's smbd in all distros AFAIK tho.04:18
kepp1obrainsik:  not me04:18
Izinucskepp1o, samba is done with sudo service smbd restart/stop/start ... they don't use the "samba" word anymore04:18
arrrghhhlol you don't have to respond if you don't know ;)04:19
arrrghhhoh did it used to be the word samba?  my bad.04:19
essialwhat was wrong with calling it samba...04:19
essiali always wondered why it was now 'smb'04:19
kepp1owell i wanted him to know that he wasnt being ignored ;)04:19
essiallike they hate vowels or something04:19
arrrghhhessial, lol they're all from eastern europe.04:20
essialanyway i'm doing a hacky upgrade to 10.1004:20
kepp1odon't forget the 'd' smbd04:20
essialhopefully that'l solve my magicmouse issue :)04:20
essiald for daemon of course04:20
essiallord forbid they call it a "service"04:20
rww"The name Samba comes from SMB (Server Message Block), the name of the standard protocol used by the Microsoft Windows network file system."04:20
kepp1oyes, shouldn't samba always run as daemon anyways?04:20
arrrghhhalrighty i'm going to ask again.  any ps3mediaserver or transcoding gurus?04:20
essialnot I04:21
rwwsmbd is the samba service that deals with SMB stuff. nmbd is the samba service that deals with NetBIOS stuff04:21
essialah I understand04:21
kepp1oi setup a icecast2/darkice transcoder04:21
essialnever really thought about that04:21
mawstarrrghhh, I do it.04:21
arrrghhhha, did not know about the nmbd04:21
mawstarrrghhh, what's your question?04:21
arrrghhhmawst, so i'm pretty sure i just got it to transcode on the fly with multiple cores... but the playback is still choppy.  i want to know how to figure out where the bottleneck is?04:22
arrrghhhmawst, can i msg you?  it's kinda a long saga of ridiculousness.04:22
Loshkiessial: I think daemons predate services04:22
mawstYeah go ahead04:22
essialit's the same thing >.<04:22
kepp1owhats the difference between a daemon and service?  I thought they were the same thing.04:23
essialthey are..04:23
kepp1oservices = ms?04:23
rwwdifferent names for the same thing04:23
mijkthx04:23
willwhhi guys - anyone running mpd? (with music in ~/Music)? I would have thought this would be a snap to get going - and it's not.04:23
essialI call it a "service" because it provides a service to the OS or client04:23
rwwwillwh: yes. I just had to edit /etc/mpd.conf to set the path to my music and then make sure that that folder (and its parents) were accessible by the mpd user04:24
kepp1oi like daemon better, sounds more geeky ;04:24
LicuadoraHello04:24
willwhrww: mind if I query you a bit?04:24
LicuadoraI forgot04:24

LicuadoraHow do you turn off the computer from the terminal?04:24

xevHi.. can anyone help me..04:26
xevI cant boot to ubuntu after messing with my /etc/network/interfaces.04:27
kepp1oLoshki:  thanks, I'll check it out04:27
agentgasmaskHi. Looking at iftop shows a connection to 244.0.0.251 - Does anyone know what this ip is, or what the range it is in is asigned to?04:28
LoshkiLicuadora: be sure to also check out 'man shutdown'04:28
kepp1oxev:  what happens when you boot?04:28
xevnow blink cursor.04:28
kepp1oxev:  can you open a terminal?  ctrl+alt+f2?04:29
essialwell that was dumb, closing firefox04:29
essialin the middle of upgrading from 10.04 to 10.1004:29
xevkepp1o, no.04:29
xevSo now I boot from USB linux.04:29
xevBut I dont know how to mount root.disk because I'm using wubi.04:30
Ryen!10.10 | essial04:30
ubottuessial: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is NOT released and NOT Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+104:30
rwwagentgasmask: that's a local network multicast addressed, used for avahi, zeroconf, etc.04:30
Loshkiessial: even if you don't close it, firefox usually becomes inoperable if you upgrade it while running it....04:30
rwwaddress **04:30
xevI need to access interfaces file on root.disk04:30
essialhehe that's cool, and thanks for the useless info ryen :)04:30
=== bourbon is now known as {Titan}
willwhrww: what does the second command do? (chmod -R o+rX /path) - recursive, allow owner to read/execute?04:30
kepp1oxev:  can you access terminal from wubi?04:30
essialand its pretty stable, because the ubuntu team is awesome...04:30
willwhrww: < being half alseep, asking a basic question, apologies, man chmod04:31
Ryenessial: Just stating that if you are wanting to to talk about 10.10 then I suggest that you go to that channel.04:31
xevkepp1o, from wubi? no.04:31
rwwwillwh: Recursive chmod, allows Other users (i.e., not the owning user or group) to read and execute (if it's a directory)04:31
essialOK if you want to get ~technical~ i was talking about upgrading to 10.10, hence I'm not in 10.10 YET :)04:31
xevkepp1o, i'm stuck before login screen.04:31
essialmua :p04:31
kepp1oxev: you should download the ubuntu iso and boot from it, you can get a live ubuntu session from the CD04:31
willwhrww: ok, paths for all your mpd stuff you just left as /var/** etc04:32
rwwwillwh: I only changed music_directory04:32
IdleOneessial: 10.10 is offtopic for this channel, wether it be talking about upgrading to it or looking for support.04:32
* essial sighs, you guys are no fun04:32
rwwdidn't touch anything in mpd.conf apart from that04:32
xevkepp1o, boot from USB also can?04:32
xevbecause my laptop dont have any cdrom.04:33
Dulakit's a support channel, #ubuntu-offtopic exists for non-support discussion04:33
Loshkiessial: it's a good rule actually. This channel is pretty cluttered already since it's so large...04:33
essialit's actually pretty quiet right now compared to usual :)04:33
kepp1oxev:  might try this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick04:33
Jordan_Uxev: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/root.disk /mnt/04:34
essialxev: What exactly are you stuck on04:34
essialyou can always run the alternate installer04:34
kepp1oxev doesn't have terminal access04:34
essialO_o04:35
essialok then..04:35
willwhrww: what was the first chmod o+x ~/ for? (that would allow other users to execute files / search if dir?04:35
nkdoodwalmy ubuntu update manager is not working04:35
xevI'm stuck at init: network-interface04:35
xevI'm stuck at init: network-interface (eth0) pre-starting process ...and so on..04:35
xevafter that.. black screen with blinking cursor.04:35
nkdoodwalany installation is not taking place04:36
xevit's happen after messing with /etc/network/interfaces04:36
rwwwillwh: execute permissions on directories means that a user can traverse the directory to get to something they have access to. So, /home/rww/ needs to be +x so that mpd can get to /home/rww/Music04:36
Loshkiessial: it *is* quiet tonight, but we're really here for first-line, interactive support...04:36
xevso, now I want to repair /etc/network/interface ..but I dont have access to terminal.04:36
willwhrww: gotcha, apologies for the series of questions, great answers though - thank you very much.04:36
rwwwillwh: no problem, it's a confusing topic :)04:37
Jordan_Uxev: Boot from the USB then: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/root.disk /mnt/04:37
willwhrww: you're not using ampache are you? :D04:37
xevNow I'm trying to boot using USB linux.. to get access for terminal and try to mount root.disk and repair from there.04:37
rwwwillwh: nope, sorry04:37
xevJordan_U, thanks.. wait.. i'm trying now.04:37
willwhrww: I just wondered - mine is rdy to set up - just finishing off mpd and I'll be good to go soon :]04:38
nkdoodwal-marix: hi04:38
spillmsg almoxarife just tried the wrapper, the drivers are installed and it says the hardware is pressent but how do I enable the card?04:38

bhaveshvalahey guys, how to find harddisk rpm04:39
essialphysically?04:40
xevJordan_U, what is "/path/to/" ?04:40
bhaveshvalai want command to check04:40
Jordan_Uxev: How comfortable are you with the terminal?04:41
xevJordan_U, I'm new with terminal04:41
xevI dont even know where to locate my root.disk04:41
essialI really don't know if that is even possible... RPM has nothing to do with anything outside the hard drive04:41
khiderGreetings all, I had a kernel upgrade today and lost audio. How do I get audio back?04:44
linsus6hi I have deleted accidently the /home partition and I have create a new one what I should do next this new /home must be empty ?04:45
xevDo I need to mount my NTFS partition first and then mount my root.disk inside my ntfs partition.?04:45
AbhiJithi04:45
Jordan_Uxev: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid" ?04:45
bastid_raZorbhaveshvala: probably the fastest way is to use the product number from lshw to google and that will tell you04:45
Jordan_Uxev: Yes.04:45
Izinucslinsus6, is it in the same location?04:45
khiderThe machine recognizes my soundcards, I just cannot get it to playback audio04:45
AbhiJit!sound > khider04:46
ubottukhider, please see my private message04:46
macokhider: soundcards plural?04:46
willwhrww: thanks for the simple tips - I'm surprised there isn't a very straightforward guide for that - it would seem to be a common request.. perhaps I'll write one.04:47
linsus6no Izinucs it was sdc3 now is sdc204:47
macokhider: do you have pavucontrol installed? itll let you pick which soundcard apps try to play out of04:47
Izinucslinsus6, then you need to make that same change in /etc/fstab04:47
linsus6so I do gksudo nautilus then acces to fstab?04:48
khidermaco, I do have it, but nothing pops up when I click it04:48
macokhider: try running pavucontrol in the terminal. a window should open04:48
Izinucslinsus6, easier with gksudo gedit /etc/fstab04:48
pmjpsheesh04:48
icarus-clinsus6, yes.  coz you are running nautilus as root.04:48
pmjpchatting is getting complicated04:49
linsus6but Im in live cd04:49
willwhpmjp: what makes you say that?04:49
pmjpI got to answer questions to join a channel now04:49
linsus6so gksudo better in live cd?04:49
Izinucslinsus6, then use gksudo nautilus so you can navigate to it in the right location on the drive.04:49
agentgasmaskrww: after googling a bit, I see that the multicast range stops after 239, unless I'm mistaken?04:49
icarus-clinsus6, mount the filesystem of the installed system then.04:49
khidermaco, Shows no cards available for configuration--it was 100% beofre the kernel upgarde...04:49
rwwagentgasmask: It's not my strong suit, but if you google the IP address you mentioned, it comes up with a bunch of stuff about Apple Bonjour, which is the same thing with a different name.04:50
=== {Titan} is now known as {Titan}`
icarus-clinsus6, between, using UUID or LABEL instead of  /dev/sdXy maybe a better idea04:50
macokhider: there are no devices in the output or playback tab?04:50
khidermaco, Precisely04:50
bhaveshvalabastid_raZor: thanks04:50
Izinucslinsus6, sudo blkid will get you the uuid of the partition04:50
xevJordan_U, maybe i can show you pic then..04:50
khidermaco, I have two soundcards, nvidia and another one...04:51
fuffaloive got an old tablet computer that i was thinking of installing linux on.  Is there anything similar to "one note" for linux for note taking?04:51
abhinav_singhhow to see what are the activities performed on my computer in last 72 hours04:51
willwhpmjp: I didn04:51
willwht04:51
AbhiJitfuffalo, yes try basket note pad04:51
agentgasmaskrww: oh, ok. just thought if you could clear it up some more, that would be great, but, I do thank you for your help. :)04:51
willwhpmjp: are you joining the channel using some kind of webclient?04:51
Izinucsfuffalo, basket note is good.. but tomboy will also sync with ubuntu one offsite.. your choice04:52
xbonesxhttp://img824.imageshack.us/img824/7568/screenshotfiredragonfil.png <--- need help which ones would i install for a dsktop without any extra theme managers, aka system/preferences/appearance04:52
WillieBot<http://ln-s.net/7iHe> (at img824.imageshack.us)04:52
AbhiJittomboy is not 'like' one note04:52
Jordan_Uxev: Open a terminal and run "sudo blkid" then then copy and paste the output to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com and post the URL here.04:52
bobstrofuffalo:  just text notes, or you want all the onenote features?04:52
fuffalobasically all i want is something that is as smooth as one note...doesn't need all the features though..all i do is write (and i like to be able to '04:52
fuffalo"scratch out" to erase)04:52
pmjpIm using X-Chat Gnome on Ubuntu 10.0404:52
[mono].part04:52
bobstropmjp:  you mean the questions to get into this channel?04:52
khidermaco, Any idea how I can get it to recognize the devices?04:52
macokhider: but it worked on an old kernel? try rebooting into the old kernel then04:53
fuffalobobstro to be specific, i want to write with my stylus04:53
khidermaco, How?04:53
hagabakawhy does ubi have to download the file again if an installation fails and I retry?04:53
linsus6I cant mount the system it show me an error04:53
agentgasmaskGood night all, see you tomorrow.04:53
bobstrofuffalo:  ah!04:53
pmjpyeah anyway no worries04:53
macokhider: during boot hold shift and use the arrow keys04:53
khidermaco, And the kernel options will pop up?04:54
khiderBecause now I just boot straight into the GUI04:54
macokhider: shift will give you the list of kernels. use the down key to go the 3rd one (first is your current kernel, 2nd is current kernel's recovery mode, 3rd is previous kernel, etc.)04:54
icarus-cxbonesx, guess you got them from http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/FireDragon?content=9876904:54
besogondoes anybody know how to mount 'user share' without nautilus?04:54
khidermaco,  What do you suppose the issue is?04:55
khidermaco, Kernel is not up to snuff yet?04:55
macokhider: could be a broken kernel update04:55
khidermaco, Would not be the first time. Thanks!04:55
pmjpcrap got to go04:56
icarus-cxbonesx, for gtk & icon theme,  download tarballs  (.tar.gz)   then open gnome-appearance-properties ,  drag & drop the two tarball file from nautilus to appear preference window04:56
xbonesxicarus-c: no actually i isntalled gstyle and used that to download it but now i know where to get more04:56
icarus-cxbonesx, for emerald,  open emerald-theme-manager and  import the emerald one from the site04:56
AbhiJitabhinav_singh, http://www.lisisoft.com/tools/ubuntu-keylogger-orddat.html04:57
abhinav_singhhey AbhiJit04:57
abhinav_singhhow are you04:57
huanggfine04:57
AbhiJitabhinav_singh, good!04:57
xbonesxicarus-c: ya... the last time i installed emerald it took over my current theme changing everthing and i could get it back to normal... couldnt figure out how to use it04:57
bullgard4I have established a sshfs connection from computer MD97600 to computer T43. Does this imply that I can transfer a file from MD97600 to T43?04:57
icarus-cxbonesx, yes. emerald replaces gtk-decorator04:57
icarus-c*gtk-window_decorator04:58
bobstrobullgard4:  if you have permissions, you should be able to.04:58
xbonesxicarus-c: is their a way to revert back to the reg GDM if i choose to after installing emerald?04:58
macoxbonesx, icarus-c: more like the other way around. gtk-window-decorator replaced that buggy ol' unmaintained emerald junk04:58
abhinav_singhAbhiJit can i have private chat with you04:58
icarus-cxbonesx, gdm??... why it appears here04:58
bobstrobullgard4:  or better said -- if the user you connect as using sshfs has permissions04:58
xevhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/501915/04:59
icarus-cmaco, i mean you could only use either  gtk-window-decorator or emerald04:59
xevJordan_U, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/501915/04:59
icarus-cmaco, at the same time04:59
AbhiJityah04:59
xbonesxmaco: lol i did like the roll up feature tho lol04:59
bullgard4bobstro: Hm. Let me see if I will be able to do so.04:59
icarus-cmaco, like  metacity OR  compiz04:59
rww!emerald04:59
ubottuemerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives.04:59
linsus6Im doing a check disk maybe it will help to mount04:59
macoicarus-c: ah yeah04:59
AbhiJitabhinav_singh, see also http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2010-01-17-001-35-OS-SW-NT04:59
macoxbonesx: er... you can roll up in compiz regardless04:59
Jordan_Uxev: You've got a bad CD unfortunately.04:59
macoxbonesx: heck, metacity has shade too04:59
xbonesxicarus-c: huh (to your last message to me)05:00
xevJordan_U,  But I'm using netbook without cdroom..05:00
xbonesxmaco: dont know how to use it...05:00
icarus-cxbonesx, gdm is about "login manager"05:00
xevAnd now boot from USB .05:00
icarus-cxbonesx, while we are talking about window decorator05:00
Jordan_Uxev: That USB is bad then.05:00
macoxbonesx: in metacity, iirc, it was system > preferences > windows and you could set it to shade on title bar double click. you can set the same sort of setting in compizconfig-settings-manager too05:01
xbonesxicarus-c: GDM=the current theme mangaer to me lol, didnt know the real name for it lol sry05:01
macoxbonesx: the latter obviously being for compiz users05:01
xevJordan_U, oh.. so.. I still dont have access to my root.disk?05:01
xeveven now I'm in terminal.05:01
icarus-cxbonesx, Gnome Display Manager. it is the one that handles login and launching sessions05:01
Jordan_Uxev: Can you connect to IRC from another computer?05:01
xevyes.. I can.05:01
Jordan_Uxev: (one other than the netbook with this problem).05:01
icarus-cxbonesx, it has nothing to do with window theme05:01
xbonesxicarus-c: gotcha05:02
xevNow I'm using desktop PC05:02
xevyes.05:02
skeebyxev, have u tried a network installation05:02
icarus-cxbonesx, so have you figure out how to install/use metacity, gtk & icon theme ?05:02
icarus-cxbonesx, it is just drag and drop after all05:02
Jordan_Uxev: OK, then reboot the netbook and when you get to the second boot menu, after selecting Ubuntu at the first menu, select recovery mode.05:02
linsus6is normal that check disk is still at 0 of 2 after 2 mins05:03
xbonesxicarus-c: i had this webpage with the directories of the images and scripts for gnome theme manager but i lost it05:03
Jordan_Uxev: That should get you to a terminal within wubi.05:03
linsus6?05:03
icarus-cxbonesx, http://art.gnome.org ?  http://gnome-look.org/ ?05:03
Jordan_Ulinsus6: Yes, fsck can take a while.05:03
skeebymy bad thought u were trying to install lol05:03
xevJordan_U, Sorry.. I cant access to recovery mode because timeout is 0 sec..05:04
xbonesxicarus-c: no it was some off website that gave detailed info on directories and the ins and outs for it05:04
Jordan_Uxev: Hold down shift.05:05
xevJordan_U, ok.. I'll try it right now.05:05
Jordan_Uxev: Unless you changed the timeout manually.05:05
icarus-cxbonesx, you lost me05:05
icarus-cxbonesx, what you want to do05:05
xevJordan_U, Sorry.. cant..05:06
xbonesxicarus-c: i remember the page telling me where all aspects of the gnome system were located, including themes05:06
linsus6yep my guess was good after a check disk now it mount05:06
xevbecause i changed the timeout manually..05:06
xbonesxicarus-c: for instance, .theme....05:06
icarus-cxbonesx, /usr/share/themes ?05:06
xbonesxicarus-c: yep05:06
icarus-cxbonesx, and .themes05:06
xevJordan_U, So.. I think I need to download ubuntu iso again.. and make it as usb bootable..05:07
xbonesxicarus-c: but the website gave all the known DIR05:07
xevJordan_U, thanks.. I'll be right back..05:07
Jordan_Uxev: You're welcome.05:07
linsus6ok now I have change the /dev/sdc3 was there to /dev/sdc2 so when I reboot everything will be fine?05:08
AbhiJitis gambas is in active development or dead? is it have any future?05:11
icarus-clinsus6, again i would use UUID or LABEL instead05:12
Izinucslinsus6, was there a uuid reference for sdc3 in the fstab file?05:12
icarus-clinsus6, you could get them by command "blkid"05:13
icarus-cas root05:13
Izinucslinsus6, if so then that number needs to be changed as well.. like icarus-c says. and I mentioned earlier.. sudo blkid will give you the right uuid for sdc205:13
icarus-clinsus6, with UUID, no matter how you change the hard drive setup, linux could still locate the right partition by UUID05:14
icarus-cwithout manual modification05:14
icarus-csince /dev/sdXy arrangement could change, but UUID doesn't05:15

besogonlinsus6: give me a minute. I have to boot my other computer as this hasn't any windows partitions05:24
linsus6it look fine to me just confirm05:26
icarus-clinsus6, so you could replace  "/dev/sdc2"  with  ''' UUID="75ea1cf9-5fcc-489b-a7ca-a2a4b92d020b"  '''05:29
icarus-clinsus6, in fstab05:29

kelvinellai need to write a simple html for my boss, we need to gather information from our client05:46
ActionParsnipkelvinella: there is no blanket "easiest" anything. for example. I fond editting smb.conf to make samba shares extremely easy, yet new users may find it hard05:46
kelvinellalike name, contact numbers05:46
kelvinellai mean is there tutorial online?05:46
Injajhi05:47
kelvinellai need to make it happen next week05:47
ActionParsnipkelvinella: so there is no "easy" way, it depends on experience and skillset05:47
macoActionParsnip: er... a submit form is pretty easy05:47
Injajhow can I change the way the date is displayed in linux commands such as ls? For example, I want to see the year in the "date modified" field. Hopefully it's a global setting for all programs.05:47
kelvinellamaco, can u show me05:48
Injajtutorial for what05:48
kelvinellalast time i write html code is like back in 199805:48
macokelvinella: w3schools can show you how to use html tags to make a form05:48
kelvinellawhere?05:48
Injajgoogle w3schools to get to their site05:48
linsus6ok one last question was is the command for know where grub is install05:48
ActionParsnipkelvinella: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialaWebDap.html05:48
ActionParsnipmaco: not for someone like me with zero skill in php, sql etc. Very hard05:49
macoActionParsnip: no sql needed to send an email05:49
jixeHi i need some help setting up ubuntu....05:49
ActionParsnipjixe: ask away05:49
kelvinellawhat is xhtml?05:50
kelvinellaand html5?05:50
jixeI installed, then when I rebooted it was only a flashing line05:50
kelvinellawow last time i know there is html, javascript05:50
rww!ot05:50
ubottu#ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!05:50
jixeand the alternative boot options give error I/O msgs05:50
ActionParsnipjixe: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html05:50
Injajkelvinella: xhtml was a standard to transmit markup info in XML format. I don't think it caught on too well. HTML5 is the latest version of the HTML standard.05:50
macokelvinella: html5 is the thing that comes after html405:50
macokelvinella: simple thing to do is just use formmail.pl (google it) to submit a form05:50
jixethx :~)05:50
macokelvinella: itll email the contents of the form to you05:50
kelvinellai have been outdated,05:50
linsus6ok then I will ask my question later thank05:52
jixe* At install screen press F6 and select nomodeset and install Ubuntu as usual. --- which install screen is this?05:52
DarkSectorkelvinella, http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/07/29/misunderstanding-markup-xhtml-2-comic-strip/05:53
macojixe: the one where it asks "start or install?"05:53
kelvinellaw3school site is nice05:53
kelvinellahow come video tag can play video and people still use flash to play video??05:53
rwwbecause websites are slow to adopt new technology05:54
kelvinellanever know there is a video tag, it doesnt have that back in 9805:54
jixethe install screen on boot?05:54
macothats new for html505:54
ActionParsnipjixe: hold shift at boot and you can set boot options in grub2's menu05:55
kelvinellai want to make a site that is fast, should i stick with html5 only?05:55
jixei'll try....05:55
ActionParsnipkelvinella: people use flash as it is cross platform afaik05:55
DarkSectorkelvinella, it takes time to make a website using html 5, tutorials and all, stick with xhtml and then change doctype to html505:56
DarkSectorthats the good thing about html5 all types of semantics are supported05:56
Dulaksomething like 95% of browsers have flash installed, nowhere near 95% support html505:57
kelvinellawhat do u mean cross platform?05:57
kelvinellavideo tag is not support in windows or osx?05:57
macokelvinella: different browsers disagree on how to implement <video> while flash is theoretically the same everywhere05:57
renedoxworks across different operatings systems05:57
renedoxand browsers05:57
ActionParsnipkelvinella: flash plugin is made for all browsers and will run seamlessly in all browsers05:58
kelvinellaas long as it works on ff or opera i think it is fine05:58
kelvinellano one really care about other browser i think05:58
ActionParsnipkelvinella: video tag requires an extra program installing, flash just adds a small extra functionality to an existing app05:58
kelvinellaso video tag require browser has the correct plugin to play the file?05:59
renedoxnot plugin, implementation05:59
ActionParsnip|Its offtopic either way ;). This is ubuntu support only06:00
Dulakexcept the 50% of people using IE.  If the goal is for the most people as possible to be able to see your content, ignoring 50% of them right off the bat is just plain dumb06:00
macoActionParsnip: ehhh flash plugin isnt exactly seamless in khtml browsers06:00
macoright...06:00
DarkSectorDulak, iirc to enable the tags of html5 like the <header> you need to just enable them in the css file. So, a minimal html5 website will work on all browsers06:01
DarkSectorDulak, and IE ! dear god06:01
beefncheeseRyen, just commented of your 4chan reply. what desktop environment are you using?06:02
macokelvinella: see PM06:03
DulakDarkSector: I sell stuff online, the lowest common denominator pays my bills, IE is well over half of my sales.  I like IE users, they are dumb enough to buy my stuff.06:04
DarkSectorDulak, hahahaha :) well now we know who uses IE :D06:04
DulakThe buyers.06:05
rwwalrighty, so now that we've had 15 minutes of offtopic, can it move to #ubuntu-offtopic ;P?06:05
renedoxyou can't make such a sweeping generalisation like that06:05
DarkSectorrww, sure06:05
renedoxIE users might make up 50% of your userbase but not everyone elses06:05
DarkSector!ot > renedox06:06

kazagistarhow do I change the password of a user of a computer I cannot log in to, but have access to the hard drive?06:09
ActionParsnipJixe: take the CD out of the tray06:09
JixeHH06:09
Datzoh here we go.. idle for awhile and when I try to log back in it's "checking" forever06:10
Jixeahh06:10
willinjaany idea why my t400 fail to boot ubuntu lucid ?06:10
Jixeis that a cd error msg?06:10
ActionParsnipkazagistar: boot to root recovery mode and run: passwd foo    replace foo with your user name you want to change the pasword of06:10
ActionParsnipJixe: yes, sr0 is one of the logical names of the optical drive06:10
Jixeokay, I didn't know :)06:10
Jixethx06:10
ActionParsnipJixe: np :)06:11
kazagistarActionParsnip: it seems my recovery mode is password protected :P06:11
ActionParsnipkazagistar: you set your root password then, you will need to type that to get access. having a root pasword is also not support by the community, nor advised06:11
kazagistarActionParsnip: after that warning, I hate to ask, but how do I reset the root password in this case?06:12
Datzfor some reason when I let my system idle too long, and it propts me for a password, I type it, it checks for a couple min, then goes back to pass promt. I can switch user and log back in though06:13
kazagistarwhen I finish, I can always change it back to * or something, if I remember correctly?06:13
ActionParsnipkazagistar: you MAY be able to boot to liveCD and chroot, this is WHY root account is disabled. You are probably going to be REALLY screwed and need a reinstall if yuo cant do it with a chroot06:13
ActionParsnipkazagistar: next time I suggest you follow the community guidelines and stay OFF root06:13

ActionParsnipkazagistar: yeah wrong channel, gl dude :)06:22

logan_wolfwhat is the best ide for C++ programming on lucid??06:26
prince_jammys!ide | logan_wolf06:26
ubottulogan_wolf: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator06:26
Flannellogan_wolf: Eclipse (with CDT) or Anjuta are probably your best bets06:26
ActionParsnipchenlong: no but it can run equivelants06:27
ActionParsniplogan_wolf: there is not best app for anything06:27
logan_wolfhmmm thnx guys I have been using vim for a long time I find it good but now would try something else as well ;)06:27
ActionParsniplogan_wolf: there is no blanket best anything in life06:27
chenlonggeany is ok06:28
chenlongI found KDE is not easy to use.06:29
Blue1chenlong: well like they say -- there's no place, like gnome06:29
chenlongen06:30
ActionParsnipBlue1: I thought it was, no place like 127.0.0.106:30
chenlongyeah06:30
almoxarifeI have found it practical to run the kde apps I like in gnome, rather than deal with the whole desktop06:30
Blue1ActionParsnip: indeed06:30
chenlong what is 127.0.0.1?06:31
Blue1almoxarife: that's what I do. however running kontact, pretty much hauls in most of kde along with it.06:31
Blue1chenlong: localhost (your computer)06:32
ActionParsnipchenlong: IP address of loopbck device06:32
Datztry tapping your red shoes togeather Dorothy06:32
Datzot?06:32
ActionParsnipchenlong: its the address used if processes on the same PC want to talk06:32
Blue1Datz: toto too?06:32
Datzhumm, in that case, we'd have to get shoes for toto06:33
almoxarifeBlue1: I don't mind the overhead as much as being stuck in a desktop that just does not work for me, it's a matter of taste I guess06:33
ActionParsnipalmoxarife: LXDE here, super slick and quick06:34
Blue1almoxarife: at least they fixed the http cleaner cache thing06:34
* Datz has it simplified, and went without any GUI06:34
Datzat least for my server06:35
Blue1Datz: i've never quite mastered lynx06:35
Datzusing that for everyday tasks would be fun06:35
DatzBlue1: yea, lynx is only ok06:35
renedoxguis for servers is one thing i'll never understand06:35
Datzlinks is good too06:35
renedoxwhich is why i'll never understand windows servers :S06:35
Datzrenedox: only if you can only afford one machine :p06:35
renedoxlinks2 is good06:35
Datzhaha renedox06:35
Datzhumm, didn't know there was a links206:36
Blue1renedox: i wonder how much overhead X add's to a machine.  I think negligible06:36
Datzmore updates, more instability06:36
Blue1true that...06:36
renedoxBlue1: not quite negligible06:36
chenlongMore apps,slower speed?06:37
renedoxsince you're running processes which aren't needed06:37
renedoxtaking up hard drive space06:37

SubCoolok- ...06:40
SubCooli thought it woulda been in the directoy i was in when i ran the command06:41
Blue1renedox: wasn't a server - I needed a secure portable os, when travelling, so I put it on a flash drive, and used it at my folks, and my sisters (has thunderbird and ff as well as abiword on it) - works quite well06:41
SubCoolmy bad- see. i dont know06:41

jaceleon@chenlong isthat the only possible way?06:46
jaceleon*is that06:46

mmaksimovHi everyone. "apt-get autoremove" removed an old kernel package, but didn't trigger update-grub, and if run manually update-grub still "sees" the removed kernel version, although it cannot boot. How can I really remove an obsolete kernel version that is already partially removed?06:49
Jordan_Ujaceleon: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector06:49
chenlonguse ubuntu-tweak06:49
jaceleon@datz so what exactly happened to my windows06:50
chenlongtweak is useful06:50
Datzjaceleon: it's still there.06:50
ActionParsnipmmaksimov: if you run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2    does it show up?06:51
ActionParsnipchenlong: also unofficial06:52
jaceleon@Datz If I install testdisk, according here, I can fix the boot partition?06:52
mmaksimovActionParsnip: two kernels, current and obsolete.06:53
Datzjaceleon: I don't know. I didn't link you to that. Ask Jordan_U06:53
jaceleon@Jordan_U If I install testdisk, according here, I can fix the boot partition?06:53
jaceleon@Datz thanks06:53
Jordan_Ujaceleon: Yes.06:53
ActionParsnipmmaksimov: is the obsolete onj06:54
ActionParsnipone the one you want to remove?06:54
jaceleon@Jordan_U What should I select in the testdisk, analyse or mbr or what?06:54
mmaksimovActionParsnip: yes06:54
Jordan_Ujaceleon: Follow the directions on that page.06:54
ActionParsnipmmaksimov: ok then run: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.xxxxxx06:54
ActionParsnipmmaksimov: obv you will put the correct version numbers06:55
ActionParsnipmmaksimov: that will remove the kernel and trigger update-grub06:55

riyahi06:59
Datzone word?06:59
riyai want to execute external application in c/gtk how to???06:59
chenlongopen office06:59
dhruvasagarI think LyX is better than open office06:59
Datzuse emacs-nox1107:00
chenlongOOO easier07:00
dhruvasagarnot sure about others07:00
Random832riya: system() or fork/exec07:00
chenlongKoffice is ok07:00
Random832system takes a single string just like the command line you type in the shell [which means it can have $variables, pipes, `stuff` etc, which means it's dangerous if you don't carefully control what is put in the string] - fork/exec is slightly more foolproof, but more difficult to use07:01
dhruvasagarchenlong: I am more woried about the output / end result07:02
dhruvasagarchenlong: I am able to produce better results with LyX, but I don't know about others, I see there's some AbiWord, but I have no idea how it is07:03

luwquestion about browsing files.  for the file browser in 10.04, they have moved from having the path spelled out, to each directory being a "box".  how can i get it to be the way it used to be (just the plain text path)?07:10
luwalso this might be a gnome question07:10
rebirthhi. i just had the best idea for a website and i need to get coding php now! yes i know how but i need help installing a programming environment on ubuntu.07:10
Guest66156@luw define "box"?07:10
ActionParsnipluw: the app is called nautilus: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/09/show-full-folder-path-title-bar-nautilus-ubuntu-10-0410-10-maverick-meerkat/07:10
Datzrebirth: install apache2 and php507:10
Guest66156@rebirth there are loads of that in the ubuntu app installer07:11
rebirthis lamp good?07:12
ActionParsniprebirth: if you need it, yes07:12
dhruvasagarchenlong: for personal usage I think it should be fine, for commercial use, no...07:12
rebirthi will need to do MySQL07:12
Guest66156@rebirth you're looking for a LAMP app07:12
QwertWhat can make Ubuntu desktop system slow? Applications, updates, etc..07:13
rebirthis LAMP a specific program or a class of programs?07:13
luwGuest66156: each time you go into a directory, a seperate tab like box appears for each directory.  for instance, /home/joe/stuff has three boxes; "home" "joe" and "stuff".  you just click the boxes to go to the directory.  cute, but stupid for most real linux users.07:13

icarus-coops07:13
luwActionParsnip: thank you07:13
dhruvasagaricarus-c: you are doomed...07:13
glebihanluw: to see the full path and edit it, press Ctrl+L07:13
Guest66156@luw it is due to the gnome nautilus in 10.0407:14
dhruvasagarluw: there is an 'edit' but to manually enter path...but for most real linux users, terminal is all they need ;) :P07:14
Guest66156@luw you may try using another file manager like PCManFM07:14
sweetpirebirth: LAMP is just a buzzword for Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python07:15
Guest66156@luw I prefer that, but thunar is also good07:15
glebihanluw: to make it permanent, enable the "/apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry" in gonf-editor07:15

rebirthsweetpi: is there a single package i can download or will i need to install them all separately?07:16
Guest66156luw: then install a file manager, there are loads of file manager that are much lightweight than nautilus07:16

ub_noobcan someone tell me how i can type Chinese using ubuntu? TOTAL NOOB just switched!07:18
QwertActionParsnip: Thanks07:18
ActionParsnipQwert: that sort of thing, if you don't scan or print you can remove sane and cups to run a slimmer OS07:18
Guest66156ub_noob: change your keyboard preference07:18
luwdhruvasagar: true, this computer is set up for my parents.  i guess i'm not a linux user anyway (i just write the drivers)07:18
Guest66156ub_noob: it is in system, if I remember correctly07:18

QwertActionParsnip: Yeah.. Got it07:19
ranjanplr, glebihan and i want this to do recursively on files inside folders.07:19
Guest66156luw: writing drivers? I sort of think that's good.07:19

pLrranjan: what is your string?07:19
ranjanits x(y)07:19
ranjanpLr, its x(y)07:20
xerox1hi, is there a difference in formating an usb device with fdisk and geparted?07:20
pLrranjan: so you want to delete all lines containing x(y) ?07:20
Guest66156ub_noob: try asking in the ubuntuforums07:20
luwdhruvasagar: no worries, thank you all for helping me fix this07:20
Guest66156ub_noob: I'm sorry I cant assist you that much, since I'm already cool with the US layout07:20
ranjanpLr, yes ofcourse07:20
Jordan_Uxerox1: Yes. fdisk only changes the partition table, it doesn't create or resize filesystems.07:21
chenlongranjan:maybe sed -d07:21
pLrranjan: you should not use sed for this purpose, i would suggest grep07:21
Guest66156xeroxl: gparted can also do fdisk's job07:22
xerox1Jordan_U, okay, thx a lot07:22
Jordan_Uxerox1: You're welcome.07:22
chenlongranjan:i would suggest vim07:22
pLrranjan: e.g. grep -v 'x(y)' filename07:22

ranjanchenlong, how using vim??07:24
lucentGuest66156: regular old parted... why bother with gparted?07:24
pLrranjan: once you verify the output is correct you can redirect with > to a filename07:24
glebihanranjan:  grep -v 'x(y)' filename > filename07:24

xbonesxpLr: whats so funny lol07:26
lucentranjan: my first go-to choice would be to write a script in Ruby and do the work this way07:26
pLrranjan: use the same name.. and to go over many files you would need a for loop07:27
lucentranjan: you can actually do it using some bash redirection and sed kung-fu'ery07:27
pLrranjan: an easier approach for support is to ask for your outcome and not how to troubleshoot what you think is right07:27
lucentpick a scripting language though perl, ruby, python, whichever and learn one so you have some tools to do advanced things07:27

skeebycan anyone assist me with mouse focus on a system with 2 separate xscreens running full screen aps?07:47
lucentskeeby: how so?07:47
skeebywell im trying to run a game fullscreen in wine on my main screen07:47
linsus6hi I haved lost the grub just before now I have reinstall it to his original point (hd2,3) how do I update grub my second linux os is not in the list?07:48
skeebybut if i move my mouse around too much it goes to the other screen and hides the fullscreen app if not crashes it07:48
chenlongVoting:"useradd -g" points the group.07:48
Votingchenlong: that worked great. now, how do I, on thecommand line, put him in the admin group?07:48
lucentlinsus6: when you "install" grub, that is when you tell grub stages where to look for the filesystem containing a config file07:48
lucentlinsus6: make sure you're doing that right!07:48
macoVoting: usermod -ag admin username07:48
skeebyi already checked the wine settings and have "allowe dx apps to sotp the mouse from leaving their window"07:49
skeebyand unchecked the 2 below it07:49
Votingmaco: THANKS!!07:49
macoVoting: -a is *very* important07:49
chenlongVoting: sorry,i dont know07:49
skeebythat stopped it from crashing the game but still hides it when my mouse moves =(07:49
lucentskeeby: that's an advanced question for WINE community, though.  They will know better than anyone here, I think07:49
maco(without it, they are removed from all other groups and put into that one. with it that group is added to their list)07:49
linsus6lucent is for that I ask I want to make sure everything is in the menu.lst07:49
Votingmaco: thanks!07:49
Votingthanks all!07:50
skeebyjunks07:50
skeebywell07:50
lucentlinsus6: so uh, the thing I would do is use LiveCD and boot. Then I would mount my computer's installed partitions and chroot, then re-run grub07:50
skeebyare there any settings in ubuntu to prevent the mouse from switching screens in fullscreen aps?07:50

linsus6lucent I care I need my grub to be complete07:52
rambo3I have been wating for a while now. Need to start mysql07:52
lucentrambo3: when you reboot, the sizes will update. I think that's the short answer07:53
quellhorsthow am I suppose to upgrade packages?: 12 updates are security updates.07:53
lucentrambo3: it's not really a bug or a thing to be worried about07:53
Jordan_Ulinsus6: "sudo update-grub" should add entries for all OSs to your /boot/grub/grub.cfg07:53
rambo3lucent, I did reboot07:53
quellhorstI turned on auto updates and installs, but don't see it running.07:53

chenlongobji:9.10 is not LTS.it's bug is much.08:54
ojiichenlong, i just need to boot the second latest kernel :( I even see the menu splashing, but can't keep it to stay08:54
ojiichenlong, I might upgrade to 10.04 after this, but for now i need it to boot first :(08:54

chenlongobji:The down arrow key.08:56

ojiiI'm not spamming :(10:11
duffs-mainSo, how astier?10:11
icerootDjAngo23: the problem is that nfs is only using uids, so if you create a file belonging to root (uid=1??) then any other root (also have uid=1) is owner of the file10:11

duffs-mainHey, I'm trying to change my time/date but it says I don't have authorization, how do i get it?10:12
duffs-mainHey, I'm trying to change my time/date but it says I don't have authorization, how do i get it?10:12
astierduffs-main: read up on how to become "root" or "admin" via sudo in the ubuntu docs10:12
DjAngo23iceroot, okaym, i understand bit more now.10:12
astierojii: I asked you something10:12
duffs-mainThanks astier, I know my own password, How do i do it?10:12
rebirthhow do i change the # of workspaces?10:12
tensorpuddingDjAngo23: the permissions are passed along as is, so in order to use NFS you have to be able to have the same UID's10:12
ojiiastier, it comes after fsck10:12
ojii(which passses afaik)10:13
duffs-mainThanks astier, I know my own password, How do i do it?10:13
duffs-mainHey, I'm trying to change my time/date but it says I don't have authorization, how do i get it?10:13
tensorpuddingDjAngo23: there is the noroot option to prevent root from transfering over10:13
astier!repeat > duffs-main10:13
ubottuduffs-main, please see my private message10:13
DjAngo23But because i' m not logging in into the server, i can mount the NFS share from the server. It just doesn' t recognize in anyway wich user i am on the server. Like for example de FTP protocol.10:13
duffs-mainHey, I'm trying to change my time/date but it says I don't have authorization, how do i get it?10:14
DjAngo23My goel is assigning the same forlder to different users like the ftp protocol, so that i can manage users permissions. But still i want to mount that file localy.10:14
Andrey_ubuntuhello. When I run video, it is dark. How I can reinstall all codecs?10:14
astierAndrey_ubuntu: which videoplayer?10:15
riyawhat is .deb file10:15
astierriya: a .deb file is what software for ubuntu comes in. "installers"10:15
tensorpuddingriya: it's a tarball full of binary stuff, and some information useful for dpkg10:15
meeeeeeis it possible tht if i am using ubuntu bu installing it via wubi...so my ubuntu installation can have issues? like after some time (random times sometimes its after 30 mins sometimes more) my screen goes black shows some message about pulse audio and below tht about battery state ...but after showing this for 30 seconds the monitor goes black and starts blinking and only option is to restart...m very new to linux and ubuntu10:15
xbonesxare there any really big differences between linux mint and ubuntu?10:15
chenlongobji:maybe you can boot by live-cd and take out the important dates with usb disk,then make a new 10.04 ubuntu.10:15
Andrey_ubuntu<astier> in all totem and vlc. I have reinstalled their with mode --purge but it didn't help10:16
riyaastier ok.. means we install it in red-hat linux10:16
astierriya: ask redhat, not us. we do ubuntu support only10:16
duffs-mainHey, I'm trying to change my time/date but it says I don't have authorization, how do i get it? I know my own password10:16
tensorpuddingriya: Red Hat uses RPM, which is an entirely different format.10:16
DjAngo23tensorpudding, iceroot :But because i' m not logging in into the server, i can mount the NFS share from the server. It just doesn' t recognize in anyway wich user i am on the server. Like for example de FTP protocol.10:17
astierAndrey_ubuntu: try reinstalling ffmpeg, tho usually vlc has everything compiled in10:17
DjAngo23tensorpudding, iceroot : My goal is assigning the same forlder to different users like the ftp protocol, so that i can manage users permissions. But still i want to mount that file localy.10:17
tensorpuddingriya: There *might* be a tool to convert, but it's probably not worth it.10:17
tensorpuddingriya: You're better off compiling from source and building an RPM package10:17
astiertensorpudding: there is. alien, but we still don#t support rh here :)10:17
Andrey_ubuntu<astier> I have reinstalled already.10:17
chenlongobji:Next time,you can upgrade the kernel only at first,then upgrade softwares.10:17
tensorpuddingriya: I thought alien converted RPM to DEB, not the other way around10:17
duffs-mainHey, I'm trying to change my time/date but it says I don't have authorization, how do i get it? I know my own password10:18

thune3!rootshell | duffs-main10:27
ubottuduffs-main: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous)10:27
Leroyduffs-main: you can type sudo before the command you want to do10:27

deenaHi i installed ubuntu 10.04 while using internet it seems to be slow.. any idea is there needs to be updated?10:31
industrialllutz_, maco, erUSUL; thanks got it working now. Is there any reason for the 'old' system to still be in place if Ubuntu no longer uses it? This confused me because the Ubuntu docs referenced it aswell as the rest of google.10:31
industrial(the init system)10:31
duffs-mainLeroy none of those are right, ever10:31
astierindustrial: fallback. historical reasons10:32
macoindustrial: older still-supported versions of ubuntu still use it, so the docs for it are still around10:32
Leroyduffs-main: maybe this will help http://codeghar.wordpress.com/2007/12/06/manage-time-in-ubuntu-through-command-line/10:32
erUSULindustrial: there are services that still use the old init V system.10:32
chenlongastier:If he don't want use command,he did't ask.10:32
dancekduffs-main, a) see `date --help` and `man date` b) did you really read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#root%20account c) you should check your attitude10:32
astierchenlong: he is not capable of using it, that's all. and he doesn't like if you point him to docs either :)10:32
erUSULthe conversion is not complete afaik.10:32
macoindustrial: things are migrating to upstart from init, and while i think most/all of the base system has moved, things like apache might not have10:32
maedoxindustrial: as an example the postgres-8.4 package in lucid still uses sys-initv or whatever it's called.10:33

fabjanusb-creator0gtk says isoinfo: Unable to find Joliet SVD11:10
mickster04mungustas: i don't understand....11:10
thune3duffs-main: is that an attack11:11
nikolamthune3, so if I understand.. It is better NOT to use separate /boot partition? But to directly boot from / partition and/or using GRUB1 ?11:11
fabjanwhen I start it from the command line and add -i ubuntu-10.04-desktop-powerpc.iso which is the iso I wanted to use11:11
duffs-mainthune3, yes an attack on anything not retarded. how do i permanetly kill it11:11
mickster04mungustas: the screen session is run on a single pc, you can ssh into a server and run a screen session on there then you do the shortcut to get out of screen and you can disconnect. when you later ocme back to the server you screen -r and get back into it11:11
fabjanwell, it says that for any iso I try to supply11:11
mungustastask: send a e.x update command to another server inside the screen so you can login to that server in the e.x morning and check how it went11:11
duffs-mainHello I keep getting this error, http://img26.imageshack.us/i/123za.png how do i stop it?11:11
pLrmickster04: screen has been replaced by byobu11:11
thune3duffs-main: it is a 1 pixel image, there is only 24bits if information there, not enough to be informative11:12
mickster04pLr: ?11:12
duffs-mainserious?11:12
mickster04pLr: well i still use screen?11:12
glebihanduffs-main: yep11:12
pLrits integrated into byobu11:12
duffs-mainfuck hold up11:12
frank__hi11:12
mickster04pLr: so whats the difference?11:12
glebihan!language | duffs-main11:12
ubottuduffs-main: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.11:12
pLrmickster04: many additions, try it11:12
frank__is there a easy way to rip DVDs except using dd? I'd like to have a divx file11:12
pLrmickster04: some of the monitors are unstable over putty if u use that11:13
ikoniafrank__: dd ?? that shouln't be used to rip DVD's11:13
ikoniafrank__:there are many tools in the ubuntu software repos,11:13
thune3nikolam: are you trying to pile all your kernels into a single /boot from various OS? that's not necessary. I thought you already have grub1 from other OS, and simply wish to edit the menu.lst to boot ubuntu.11:13
mickster04pLr: hum:( i like screen, i refer the word :P11:13
frank__ikonia: can you name some of them, or better: recommend one, please?11:13
maedoxmickster04: alias? :P11:13
pLrmickster04: its ok everyone has their taste11:14
van7huHi everyone11:14
mickster04maedox: ah yes of course :P11:14
ikoniafrank__: just do a search for dvd in the repos, a ton should appear11:14
van7huI am using lucid11:14
ikoniafrank__: all are good, try some11:14
mickster04mungustas: so what are you wanting to do..i don't understand11:14
mungustasmickster04 well if you have more than one server11:14
van7hudesktop version11:14
mickster04mungustas: what about that...11:14
mungustas<mungustas> task: send a e.x update command to another server inside the screen so you can login to that server to that screen in the e.x morning and check how it went11:15
nikolamthune3, well, that is good option. I might install ubuntu-s grub2 inside / of ubuntu and use other system's GRUB1 to do what you are saying.11:15
glebihan!enter | van7hu11:15
ubottuvan7hu: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!11:15
duffs-mainHello I keep getting this error, http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4459/123cl.png how do i stop it?11:15
thune3nikolam: exactly, if you leave grub2 and /boot under ubuntu's /, then you could just use the links from grub1 to boot, as you suggest.11:15
van7huHow can I access a device that its name has space ?11:16
mickster04nikolam: the screen session has to be on that server though11:16
mungustaslet's say ssh root@server2 'screen -some_fancy_keys_or_workaround 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y'11:16
ikoniaduffs-main: what application is that11:16
mickster04van7hu: name\ name11:16
duffs-mainsystem>administration>time and date. ikonia11:16
mickster04mungustas: you prolly want to ssh into the server, then run screen then do the command...then ctrl+a, d then log out. log back in in the morning11:17
ikoniaduffs-main: what happens when you click the padlock11:17
mickster04mungustas: prolly = probably*11:17
duffs-mainnothing11:17
nikolamthune3, Maybe I could only copy now used ubuntu /boot to / /boot and then install grub2 on / before putting another system.11:17
duffs-mainikonia, what padlock11:18
van7huIt seem doesn't work11:18
mickster04van7hu: use the tab key, it autofills11:18
glebihanvan7hu: you can also enclose the name in brackets11:18
ikoniaduffs-main: when you open that application, do you need see an option to say "click here" next to a padlock, or does it open as that photo shows11:18
mickster04van7hu: fir{tab}st < auto completed11:18
rascal999if i create a SOCKS tunnel on a linux box, can i force all network activity down it?11:19
duffs-mainikonia, where is this padlock?11:19
van7hu-:)11:19
ikoniarascal999: not all software is socks-ifyable11:19
ikoniaduffs-main: when you open that application, do you need see an option to say "click here" next to a padlock, or does it open as that photo shows11:19
van7huit's working,thank you11:19
pLrmungustas: forget about screen for now, what do u want to do?11:19
duffs-mainikonia, it just open as the photo shows it11:19
mungustasmickster04 well i dont want to interact, i want to send command to couple of servers11:19
ikoniaduffs-main: can you please open a terminal and type "id" and paste me the output please11:19
mickster04pLr: well no, if he does apt-get update he won't be able to check progress afterwards11:19
mungustaswell i searched the web, googled it11:20
mickster04mungustas: well thats what you'r trying to do in one command anyway?11:20
thune3nikolam: i'm not sure i followed that one. on a system that has multiple OS and is working great with grub1 from other OS, i'd be inclined to keep it and remove grub1/2 from ubuntu.11:20
duffs-mainhttp://ubuntu.pastebin.com/6VqEFmMG11:20
mungustaswell i think about screen because i want to reattach to it later11:20
ikoniaduffs-main: if you do "sudo apt-get update" what happens ?11:21
pLrmickster04: you can pipe the output to another file and read that11:21
rascal999ikonia: ok is it possible to force all network activity which originates from a client connected to this gateway linux box?11:21
mickster04mungustas: basically you are going to send a command that ssh's into a server, starts a screen session and then run update inside that screen session. you can do it like i said just as well and you can get it done now?11:21
ikoniarascal999: no11:21
mickster04pLr: oh yeah11:21
duffs-mainoh god, ikonia, lots of words come out11:21
mungustasso i want to start a deattached screen with a command inside it, with possibility to get back to that screen and see what happened11:21
ikoniaduffs-main: thats ok - wait for it to finish and just summerise what happens11:21
pLrmickster04: apt-get install package | tee -a filename11:21
ikoniaduffs-main: do you get asked for a password11:22
duffs-mainikonia, no11:22
mickster04mungustas: yeah, so why not just seperate that into a cople of command and its the same thing. however plr is onto something too11:22
mungustasyeah sure11:22
mungustaswhatever works :)11:22
pLrmickster04: there are many ways to do this, but your experience level will determine which u like11:22
mungustasi was reading screen manual and keys11:23
pLrsry that was 4 mungustas11:23
ikoniaduffs-main: please do "gksudo time-admin" from the command line11:23
mickster04pLr: :D11:23
duffs-mainIT WORKED11:23
duffs-main:3 ikonia thanks11:23
MDKDIOAfternoon :)  Question if ok? (an easy one, just need confirmation)11:23
glebihan!ask | MDKDIO11:24
ubottuMDKDIO: 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. :-)11:24
pLrmungustas: you can also try ssh server apt-get install pkg \| tee -a filename, you would see the output from the client11:24
pLrmungustas: but catching error codes is tricky you should read about it11:25
MDKDIOI am using 10.04 atm ... and after qbittorrent got updated to 2.04 I am having some issues rel to libtorrent.. Question, libtorrent is not updated for 10.04, but it is for 10.10. Can I use that package instead?11:25
mungustasyeah hehe :)11:25
pLrmungustas: looks like &2>3 or something11:25
nikolamthune3, ok I see. I will do something like that. I am also not sure if updates to Ubuntu will do OK if GRUB is from other system and it is GRUB1. Ok, If understood everything, Ubuntu's Grub2 will stay on Its / and will live happily fo himself.11:26
linux_hacksHow do I remove the un associated programs in the popup menu when we right click on file?11:27
ikonialinux_hacks: if they where installed by the package manager, removing the package with the package manager should remove them11:27
mungustaswell i was thinking about 'nohup apt-get install pkg -y > /var/log/howitwent.log 2>&1 & || sleep'11:27
icarus-clinux_hacks, right click on the file -> Properties -> Open with.  remove whatever unnecessary11:28
linux_hacksikonia: I need those programs but at the same time I need to remove the assoication of the file to those programs11:28
linux_hacksicarus-c: oh. .ok let me try11:28
ikoniaok, check out icarus-c comments11:29
thune3nikolam: that's fine. if you use the /vmlinux etc links for your grub1 line, it should not need to be changed for kernel upgrades. (set and forget)11:29
thune3nikolam: s/grub1 line/grub1 entry/11:29
tassleho1fwhat's the best way to get remote login/desktop on a 10.04 desktop install? seems xdmcp is not much supported anymore?11:30
mungustasbut on the other hand thought maybe screen can help :)11:30
pLrmungustas: thats good, but put || echo "OMG its so bad" > /var/log/howit..11:30
linux_hacksicarus-c: cool.. now I dont see the options but when I click on the file its asking me to run in terminal rather than opening in gedit11:30
nikolamthune3, yes, that's it. Great :) taht way I could use Grub1 for other os'es. great :)11:30
nikolamthune3, thanks for support :)11:30
icarus-clinux_hacks, click open ?11:30
linux_hacksyes11:31
icarus-clinux_hacks, and did you select gedit as default?11:31
mungustaspLr have a version of how to encapsulate this stuff in screen ? :)11:31
icarus-clinux_hacks, anyway,  remove execute permission of the file then nautilus wouldn't ask to execute in terminal11:31
linux_hacksicarus-c: how to do that?11:31
icarus-clinux_hacks, Right click -> Properties -> Permission11:31
linux_hacksgot it. .thank u11:32
linux_hacksicarus-c: when I remove the execute permission..11:32
linux_hacksbut its still re enabling automatically11:32

pozictobiasz: nmap is the most advanced, AFAIK.11:33
pozictobiasz: but considering that you don't even know that 'a software' is wrong, you probably don't know anything.11:34
mickster04tobiasz: you mean your inability to use nmap is a joke11:34
rob_ptobiasz: That comment demonstrates your lack of understanding of the utility.11:34
rob_ptobiasz: nmap is probably the best available!11:34

mickster04tobiasz: if you do some proper searching around i'm sure you can work out how to get it not to show that. anyway maybe the NIC's stay turned on. like on my pc i can use WOL so it stays on11:35
tobiaszI want to get hostnames not only ip adreses11:35

erUSULtcollins: maybe you could use rfkill to block it11:42
mickster04tcollins: why?11:42
erUSULtcollins: « sudo rfkill list all » see if the wifi appears there.11:42

tcollinswifi does appear there11:43
tcollinsso hard blocking it will do it?11:43
erUSULskramer_: serial input devices need a command issued at boot for them to work ... let me digg it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto11:43
st__what is /root/dev/console?11:44
erUSULtcollins: hard is via some hardware element a button or something. you can soft block it with rfkill11:44
ikoniast__: it should be /dev/console - it's the device file for the console11:44
erUSULst__: well something is wrong. should be /dev/console11:44

Linuxguyhey i want to format everything and install ubuntu, and i plan to run windows software that ubuntu cant run, (like games) throguh a virtual box, so was wondering is this a good idea? also how much ram should i allocate for the virtual box? i have 4gb ddr3 ram so should i allocate 2gb?12:09
areay_Linuxguy, dual-boot windows and linux. you'll never get games to perform as well on ubuntu as they do on windows12:10
tensorpuddingLinuxguy: This is not going to work.12:10
icarus-cLinuxguy, 3D performance is close to useless on virtual machine12:10
areay_lol12:10
dewey_I figured I could change the DISPLAY option on my local machine, but that doesn't seem to work12:10
Linuxguyoh ok thanks guys12:10
icarus-cLinuxguy, whether is there 3D capability is a problem12:10
icarus-cnot to mention performance.12:10
magnetrondewey_: you need to set the DISPLAY in the remote environment.12:11
trojan_spikeLinuxguy, games arent great in v-ox.. i leave a partition for windows,, then a differ partition for software and games..12:11
icarus-careay_, CS and war3 are perfect in my experience though :P12:11
icarus-careay_, i mean with Wine12:11
dewey_ah , to localhost:0 ?12:11
magentarLinuxguy: some games run more or less with wine, results may vary12:11
areay_icarus-c, i'll have to try that; i used to love CS12:11
magnetrondewey_: create a small script on the remote that first sets DISPLAY, then launches the app. then invoke it by starting that script via SSH12:11
Linuxguyalright guys, i will just do a partition, so should i split my HDD 50% windows /50% ubuntu?12:12
tensorpuddingthe finer points of partitioning are hard12:12
pozicLinuxguy: I did it 95% ubuntu.12:12
icarus-cdewey_, like    "DISPLAY=:1  firefox"   , assuming X on  :1 running and you have access to12:12
pozicLinuxguy: but you are not me.12:12
magnetronLinuxguy: ubuntu can read all windows file systems so you might take that into account12:12
tensorpuddingdo you have media files you want to share between them?12:12
Linuxguyi see thanks guys12:13
nothingspecialdewey_: From within the ssh session export DISPLAY=:0.012:13
icarus-cLinuxguy, 15GB for Linux system is VERY sufficient.12:13
tensorpuddingif so, you might consider making a small windows partition just big enough for games and software, a small ubuntu partition, and a media partition12:13
Linuxguy:)12:13
tensorpuddingthe media partition would need to be NTFS12:13
dewey_thanks all, "DISPLAY=:0 google-chrome" works perfect12:13
Linuxguyok i am gonna go do it now! thanks everyone :)12:14
dewey_one last question, is there a quick way to kill al the google-chrome processes?12:14
icarus-cLinuxguy, typically it use less than 10GB.  mine  6GB including some games12:14
Votingdsterz: wow, I never knew that OSs did smart things about sparse files. Would video files likely be sparse? Can I do some sort of "ls -something" to see which ones are sparse? Thanks!!12:14
tensorpuddingdewey_: killall chrome12:14
icarus-chope Linuxguy manage to leave a partition to share data between Windows & ubuntu :P12:14

icarus-cRods_Tiger, i fail to get IP from dhcp from my wireless router unless i got 90% signal (i normal get 60%)12:19
Rods_Tigerit's something wrong in linux12:19
icarus-cRods_Tiger, so i manually set IP12:19
icarus-cRods_Tiger, i bet your router runs Linux too12:19
Rods_Tigerthat's not the issue12:20
icarus-cor some BSD :P12:20
_fre-d_Rods_Tiger: had the same prob, for me it worked to reset the wifi-card12:20
Rods_Tigerthen it's something wrong in ubuntu12:20
icarus-cRods_Tiger, maybe take a look at /var/log/daemon.log12:20
icarus-cum do ubuntu go that?12:20

trojan_spikedual-boot is easy to understand?12:21
* icarus-c 's bad router is from D-Link12:21
Rods_Tigerno, it confuses them - the grub loading screen frightens them12:21
trojan_spikegive them burg then?12:22
icarus-cput a background image for grub12:22
tensorpuddingare they also frightned by BIOS POST screens?12:22
Martin|2wha... it's not that confusing... Ubuntu 10.04.... WINDOWS < take a pic12:22
Rods_Tigerthey don't remember which Windows Recovery Environment (loader) is the correct one12:22
icarus-ccolorize the text :P12:22
Salminenmake the grub menu nice and tidy, just put like "WINDOWS STARTS HERE" "LINUX STARTS HERE" as the only options :)12:22
Rods_Tigerand it went into memory test by default anyway12:22
Salminenyou can do that right?12:22
Random832Rods_Tiger: well that's just a bad setup - why are there two windows recovery environment items?12:22
Rods_Tigerthe endless technical ubuntu kernel options frighten them12:22
tensorpuddingSalminen: GRUB 2 makes that a bit messy12:22
trojan_spikechange the default then,, > start up options>12:22
Rods_Tigerone of them is their windows12:23
AbhiJitis there any non-addon browser independent bookmark.username,pasword keeping system? not adon but a softwrae12:23
Salminentensorpudding, oh?12:23
* icarus-c votes for bad setup12:23
icarus-ci mean blame12:23
Rods_TigerI changed the default, but after an update, it started booting into memory test, and they now consider it a broken machine12:23
tensorpuddingevery time you install a kernel, that'll probably break when it calls grub-update12:23
Salminenwho are these people(sry just curious)12:23
icarus-cAbhiJit, rsycn the web browser profile folder maybe?...12:23
Rods_TigerI'm trying to persuade them to use linux, but they're winning so far!12:24
trojan_spikeu can delete the men-test option12:24
Salminentensorpudding, ah right didnt think about that12:24
Rods_Tigerthey can't do that12:24

Martin|2Rods_Tiger, if you want them to ubuntu, just make the default boot into ubuntu, and make the grub timeout 1 second xD12:24
Random832tensorpudding: isn't there a file you can edit to change what grub-update puts in?12:25

icarus-cRods_Tiger, you could make grub "good looking" and tidy somehow and you didn't.  you can make the boot entries title in grub easy to understand, and you didn't12:25
tensorpuddingDjAngo23: Did you hear when myself and someone else on here were talking about UID's and NFS earlier?12:25
Random832/etc/grub.default or some such12:25
Rods_Tigerno, it is a default install12:25
DjAngo23tensorpudding, well i was actualy me ;)12:25
Rods_TigerI expect it to be tidy and good looking, and somehow it isn't12:25
tensorpuddingRandom832: It's possible, I wouldn't know at all. I profess blissful ignorance with GRUB 2's workings12:25
Random832so UN-default it12:25
Rods_TigerI expect the boot entries to be easy to understand, and it isn't12:26
bazhangRods_Tiger, so configure it.12:26
Rods_Tigerno, they can't12:26
Rods_Tigerthey are not experts12:26
DjAngo23tensorpudding, it' s just now that i found there wasn' t any other possibility than use NFS12:26
Rods_Tigerthey are just normal users12:26
bazhangRods_Tiger, would you like support doing so12:26
linux_hacksI have a bluetooth adaptor in my Dell Inspiron lappy12:26
Rods_Tigerno12:26
Random832i don't know how memtest86 could possibly have become the default entry though; that sounds like a bug12:26
linux_hackswhen I do lsusb it's displaying me the12:26
bazhangRods_Tiger, then not much point in complaining about it12:26
jribRods_Tiger: what's your actual question?12:26
glebihanSalminen: you can edit the files in /etc/grub.d to modify the way grub-update generates the grub.cfg file, but it's at your own risk...12:26
Random832Rods_Tiger: so basiclly you want a public venue to gripe about it?12:26
Rods_Tigerthey're probably going to reinstall their stupid windows OS instead to 'fix' the broken situation12:26
tensorpuddingDjAngo23: UIDs are mapped from machine to machine, so you need users with the same UID on the client machine12:26
thanasiskhi all. what is the state of support for ATI Radeon cards12:26

bazhangRods_Tiger, please ask a support question12:27
Rods_Tigerwhy?12:27
jribRods_Tiger: this channel is for support not complaining12:27
thanasiskso far I have been using  nvidia products, which had excellent support12:27
Rods_Tigeroh fuck off12:27
Random832Rods_Tiger: i've never had a problem. if there's a bug in it then report the bug12:27
icarus-cRods_Tiger, right. tell them to use NTLDR instead of grub12:27
linux_hacksI have a bluetooth adaptor in my Dell Inspiron lappy, when I do lsusb it's displaying me the adaptor, but I couldn't use it to pair up the devices?12:27
Random832and whatever caused memtest to be the default is a bug12:27

ubottuRods_Tiger: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.12:27
Martin|2Rods_Tiger, Grub is right for normal people. its perfectly readable and easy to understand. <OS><Version> then Windows at the bottom, where it should be xD12:27
bazhangMartin|2, he's gone12:27
thanasiskbut however I am getting a deal on ATI and I want to make sure that it will play nice with ubuntu12:27
=== vaibhav3 is now known as vaibhav
Martin|2lol bazhang xD I never noticed, nvm!12:28
icarus-cthanasisk, is it a new model?12:28
icarus-cnew hardware generally no good for Linux12:28
Random832Martin|2: except he somehow ended up with memtest86 at the start, and isn't bothering to give enough information for people to figure out why12:28
chenlongthanasisk:It's good.12:28
thanasiskits a 583012:28
Martin|2Random832, He originally had Windows as the default boot. when ubuntu was updated, the entries moved down 2. which would start memtest. that happened to me. it was pretty simple to fix too!12:29
thanasiskfull disclosure: in the not-so-distant past, I was not happy with ATI's linux support12:29
Random832why would the entries "moving down 2" cause memtest to start?12:29
areay_ok i have a question of my own now... i borrowed a client machine from work, and i'm using it at home... i've never had an ubuntu machine that is this low-spec before, so i'm not sure if this is normal behavior; but every time the machine runs out of memory, EVERYTHING locks up -- i can't even use the numlock key12:29
linux_hacksI have a bluetooth adaptor in my Dell Inspiron lappy, when I do lsusb it's displaying me the adaptor, but I couldn't use it to pair up the devices?12:30
icarus-cthanasisk, apparently there is no 3D support for 5830  by xorg  radeon driver yet.12:30
Random832Martin|2: that sounds fundamentally broken12:30
Random832and it's only a simple fix if you know where to look12:31
Martin|2Random832, he has used Startup-manager i'll bet12:31
Martin|2which is pretty easy to use12:31
Random832if there's no way to make a windows default _stick_, then there should be no gui to offer the option to make it the default.12:32
icarus-cthanasisk, and i have no idea how fglrx (ATI's close source driver for linux) works thesedays. but i always have a impression that fglrx sucks12:32
Random832and it's broken anyway if there's no way to make it stick12:32
happydudei have a single usb stick and I want to boot many computers with it. How can I remove it after booting?12:32
thanasiskicarus-c, i see your point12:32
thanasiskguess I'll speak with my wallet and buy nvidia again12:32
happydudeIn other words I want an option to move the system to ramdisk and so I can remove the system disk.12:33
icarus-cATI card is very neat thesedays though :(12:33
Random832the gui writing checks the underlying system can't cash is a serious problem12:33
Martin|2Yeah, Random832, I think it should look for a keyword. rather than a certain number of lines down from the top.12:33
Martin|2ugh I know what I mean.12:34
Random832the other problem is it's a bug no-one "owns"12:34
Gangrel!splash12:35
ubottuTo change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.12:35
Random832it's not startup-manager's fault because startup-manager exists in a world where grub configurations are static12:35
thanasiskicarus-c, back in the day, I even mailed matrox that I returned one of their cards due to lack of linux support (no reply ofcourse :))12:35
Random832it's not an update-grub problem because update-grub exists in a world where if you want a different default you move it to the top12:35
Martin|2Random832, does anyone own bugs in linux? xD and yeah, startup-manager is good though.12:35
Random832it's not a grub problem because grub just does what the config tells it to12:36
happydudeis there a tool/app/script to move migrate system root to ram in order to umount the original root partition?12:36
Martin|2Yar, I get that. Random832 :D12:36
Random832it's not clear which [of grub or update-grub] you'd add this "keyword" fnctionality to12:36
Salminenhow do i add a user on my openssh server?12:37
jribSalminen: System -> Administration -> Users and Groups or use the « adduser » command12:38
icarus-chappydude, i don't think you could change rootfs to somewhere else after kernel booted.  but you could migrate /usr /opt (where the programs relies in) to ram12:38
AscavasaionI have a wired ADSL router, and a small network.  Is there a way that I can bridge the wired and wireless NICs in my laptop and use it as a router to the wired router?12:38
icarus-chappydude, but there is problem in syncing  files in ram & disk12:39
happydudeicarus-c, you mabe right.12:39
icarus-chappydude, so you may want to make it read-only and perform system update every few weeks12:40
happydudeicarus-c, I do not want sync. After the root disk is physically removed, no modifications will be permanent over reboot.12:40
happydudeicarus-c, how to make it read only?12:40
icarus-chappydude, squashfs maybe useful too12:40

EmanonFas: dropbox or ubuntuone13:31
st__Fas, or set up webdav if you run own server13:32
Emanonyea what he said13:32
yudi1 i am running xp as guest in ubuntu, do I need to install antivirus and firewall to secure it?13:32
Emanonthats not a bad idea13:32
st__yudi1, xp professional?13:32
Emanonyudi1: well you could set up a firewall on ubuntu and that would cover xp too13:33
Emanonand as for antiviral you can scan that from ubuntu like just another directory with klam or something13:33
ppearseAnyone suggest how I can get pinged when the source of a particular package is update?13:33
psycho_oreosyudi1, also it depends on how xp is connected to internet, if its not going through bridging, chances are you can get ubuntu to filter it all through13:33
BluesKajjoth_, have you tried configuring netmanager?13:33
st__yudi1, if it's professional then skip antivirus and enable SRP instead13:33
ppearse //d/13:34
iceman_3233okay try this open terminal and type ifconfig -a what does it say13:34
st__yudi1, also you may leave ddefault firewall enabled13:34

st__yudi1, then you need no firewall13:41

CamJ256Hey, if anyone knows anything about pipes in C++ I've got a quick question. I want to direct an output of one process to the input of another process. I am using dup2 and execl to redirect the output of grep through my pipe to the input of sort. I have got the output to redirect OK. I just can't get sort to take the input. Can you use dup2() to do that?13:43
joth_Should I try installing the RT2870 as per that link, or should I look for a RT3070? Might the RT2870 work? Or, in fact, should I try and get the rt2800.bin?13:43
bazhangjohnny_, you mean something like dreamweaver?13:43
Qwertst__: Ah-ok. But that can be created a shortcut?13:43

yudi1st__: i only use XP for just couple of programs, one of them is a tax program, thats why I need XP to be very secure.13:44
Qwertst__: Then?13:44
psycho_oreosjoth_, I would personally get the firmware, the use of sta driver I would put it as a last option as the serialmonkey's driver (which is the one incorporated into the linux kernel) has much more functionality13:44
CamJ256Sorry.13:44
johnny_bazhang, i mean the best way to start from a programm or write code to txt file?13:44
st__yudi1, it will be very secure if you'll install updates and configure software restrictions13:44

CamJ256How come I always get forwarded from #c to ##C or #programming to ##programming13:44
joth_Sorry, which is the firmware? Is that the rt2800.bin?13:45
st__Qwert, type VBoxManage list vms ... guid is the text in {...}13:45
psycho_oreosCamJ256, its freenode's channel policy.. ## means about channel, it also means the channel is not a direct affiliate to the name of the product/device/etc for the official support channel13:45

braden_i downloaded it from the list you get13:58
braden_in hardware drivers13:58
psycho_oreosbraden_, it shouldn't in theory but I don't have the latest version running nor do I have fancy candy-UI features enabled (which is what you may have installed/configured and hence because you're using low graphics mode, such features are disabled, but in theory it shouldn't affect with the usability of the desktop)13:59
Mas_Sergiosystem>admin>hardware drivers is where you should try downloading video card drivers from...it tends to be the easisest (least buggy) way to get your drivers...13:59

Ive been having this problem for 4 days and no one in maverick knows because the problem is some config got screwed up during install. the problem is no more about maverick than having a fsck error during bootup after a power outage is a problem specific to karmic14:12

foobartjrib, yes Im sure even lucid could have problems when the install is interrupted or the disk media fails to store data14:14

jribfoobart: you're not answering my question :/  Get the problem to show up on a lucid install, then we can help you.  If you're running maverick, then #ubuntu+1 is the right place.  If you believe it's some sort of user config issue, I suggest you try to replicate the issue with a fresh new user account.  If it's a botched install, well then you need to reinstall...14:15

Gneayudi1: you typically don't need to worry too much about it, but if you want to get to the point of being able to detect and easily see what's going on, http://www.itsecurity.com/features/ubuntu-secure-install-resource/14:20
bazhangfoobart, so yes then to the maverick question.14:20
SwedeMikefoobart: there is no easy way to tell if you've been pwned. only way to be sure is to re-install.14:20
foobartbazhang, but if I talk aobut an issue that is specific to maverick, they are all over it like flies to honey14:21
foobartcan you do something for me please? ignore me and let me seek support from the ubuntu community for a problem that I feel personally is not likely restricted to maverick14:21
bobstrojzaboo:  changing the port will avoid a lot of the automated scripts. as the only protective measure, it wouldn't be recommended, but fine with others.14:21
yudi1jzaboo: jrib: am using fail2ban, disabled PAM as well, nmap says all ports are closed on localhost and my local IP. I still would like to read about how to detect any intrusions.14:21
bobstroyudi1:  do you run any log analysis tools?14:22
krzysSwedeMike: Is 64 bit taking more memory because of processor registers or sth more?14:22
foobartSwedeMike, Im not sure what to reinstlal.. I have reinstalled the entire xserver-xorg subsystem, the kernel,14:22
jzaboobobstro well, mist prot scanners usually use ICMP or SYN probing and due to the way the server replies, you can already see what kind of OS it's using. Sure, changing the port might prevent the logfiles from overflow...14:22
foobartSwedeMike, and the ubuntu-desktop package14:23
SwedeMikekrzys: mostly because the instructions are longer.14:23
SwedeMikefoobart: I'm talking about complete re-install. If someone installed a rootkit on you, then it's hard to tell.14:23
SwedeMikekrzys: but also some data structures might be longer as well14:23
foobartSwedeMike, I dont have a security issue, I think you meant to reply to someone else14:23
bobstrojzaboo:  that's extra effort at least, and certainly slows them down. the old case of not having to out-run the bear and all.14:23
SwedeMikefoobart: oh, sorry.14:23
SwedeMikeoh, it was yudi1 I wanted to reply to.14:24
beefncheesehey can anyone here help me with awesome window manager 314:24
yudi1Gnea: just the right info I was looking for. thank you. will have a read.14:24
bobstroyudi1:  i'm understanding you just got probes, and don't suspect an actual compromise at this point, right?14:24
jzaboo(bobstro): yeah. Just noticed that fail2ban is also a good solution since iptable rules will block any further request send to the port. They might try to bypass that rule by manipulating the IP source adress but most firewalls will notice that14:25
yudi1bobstro: yes14:25
tgywaHi ...14:25

tgywahow do I change the default command-line shell in Ubuntu ??14:25
jribtgywa: chsh14:25
jzaboo(yudi1): Fail2ban's logfiles can be parsed by mrtg14:25
bobstroyudi1:  logcheck takes a lot of tuning, but is a nice way to get a summary of unusual activity once tuned.14:25
krzysSwedeMike: so what is average increase in memory usage?14:26
jzaboo(yudi1): fail2ban can also send you some mails in case of blocked requests but this will flood you with 20+ mails every day14:26
yudi1bobstro: I have no log analysis tools but use something like the "grep -ir ssh /var/log/auth.log" and some other variants14:26
bobstroyudi1:  logcheck just lets you flag which entries are routine. the idea is that you might not know which are interesting before hand, so anything you haven't set as OK get sent to you .14:27
SwedeMikekrzys: http://www.osnews.com/story/5768 gives some examples.14:27
bobstroyudi1:  it does take a lot of tuning though.14:27
jzaboo(yudi1): I'd recommend using some kind of monitoring software where graphs can show you the actual amount of attempts against your machine. Knowing if your machien has been compromised can be done by monitoring traffic and/or numbers of processes.14:27
SwedeMikekrzys: but that's for sparc, so intel might be different.14:27
dewey_jrib psycho_oreos is there a way I can close the app started at the command line with & ? killall / kill doesn't close the app14:27
bobstroyudi1:  you've followed hardening guidelines?14:28
yudi1jzaboo: i do not get any rouge attempts now because I am behind NAT, but when I am directly connected its pretty scary14:28
bobstroyudi1:  are you the only user of this system, or is it public?14:28
bobstroyudi1:  you'll see thousands14:28
jribdewey_: killall, kill, all will work.  But it's probably easier for you to use xkill if it's a gui app and just click on it14:28
psycho_oreosdewey_, kill requires the pid of the program (or you can parse it through pidof/pgrep) and killall should work generally unless the name of the program is different14:29
dewey_it's a strange scenario, but I' need to start and close the app by command line14:29
dewey_QUI14:29
dewey_GUI14:29
jribdewey_: why?  explain the scenario14:29
dewey_it's an external server who needs to play an video in the browser and after a while close it14:29
jzaboo(yudi1): Ehr... with NAT and NO port redirection ssh won't work from remote anyway. Sure, when you're directly connected those requests might increase but don't worry. Choosing a good password for root and following guidlines when configuring your server and fs rights, you're on a good start.14:30
dewey_(with ubuntu desktop 10 on it)14:30
yudi1bobstro: hardening guidelines? it's my personal system and only I use it. I connect to this system from work sometimes. right now I just close all the ports in the firewall and only open them when needed14:30
Inferushi, trying to install a hp 4250 printer on ubuntu14:30
Inferusi thought it would "just work" but when i try to print test pages i get "incorrect driver" errors14:30
Inferusany ideas please?14:30
bobstroyudi1:  you can test yourself -- allow port 22 in, then a non-default port and compare the amount of attention it gets.14:30
jzaboo(yudi1): If you're really paranoid and only connect to the server from one machine on the internet, you might set some rule in your router which only allows packets on port 22 within your ISPs IP-range14:31
bobstroyudi1:  port knocking or some other technique can supplement your efforts.14:31
bobstroyudi1:  is the box on a dmz?14:31
jukbobstro: how about key authentication, is it possible?14:32
yudi1jzaboo: I use a usb broadband stick? so I am behind the ISP NAT when using pre paid sim but connect directly when using post paid sim.14:32
bobstrojuk:  absolutely. i think he's doing that already -- no password logins.14:33
krzysSwedeMike: thx14:33
tapoxiHey all, I have a neat little Alix 2D3 board with a 1 GB CF card - no video. Is there any image of Ubuntu/Debian I can put on that card that I can then configure through telnet/ssh/serial?14:33
acovrigdoes 'tcp        0      0 192.168.2.8:ssh         c-71-228-197-38.h:47062 ESTABLISHED' sound bad given I don't know who that IP is (from `netstat`)14:33
bobstroyudi1:  you control the firewall, right?14:33
yudi1bobstro: I was looking at port knocking. looks interesting.14:34
tgywajrib, thanks !14:34
jzaboo(yudi1): ISP doesn't use NAT in some way of protecting your connection from unwanted requests. Just use NAT on your server's connection and only open (forward) nessecary ports.14:34
bobstroyudi1:  don't forget to set logging there to detect unusual in and out traffic, even if the box gets compromised.14:34
yudi1bobstro: yes use UFW14:34
tgywaHow do I know which boot loader am I using on Ubuntu Lilo/Grub??14:34
bobstroyudi1:  is there a firewall/router between the box & internet?14:34
jzaboobobstro Already told him about mrtg14:34
jukbobstro: no I mean rsa gps keys, along with fare pass, im noob14:34
bobstrojzaboo:  yes, i'm suggesting on router as well14:35
jzaboobobstro ah you mean SNMP ok..14:35
yudi1bobstro: no, just the UFW no router. its a laptop. I move around a lot14:35
bobstrojuk:  ssh has key-based authentication, and it's a good idea.14:35
bobstrojzaboo:  or something similar, yes. so he can see traffic actually coming & going rather than depending on the exposed system.14:36
yudi1jzaboo: will look at mrtg14:36
jzaboo(bobstro): yep, that's why I bought a WRT 54GL :-)14:36
bobstrojzaboo:  but it sounds like that's not an option.14:36
jukbobstro: so if have rootpass 12345, and sshd running isn't like anyone can be root on my system, one guy here told me that14:36
bobstrojzaboo:  i bought 3 of the suckas back at version 1.1 :)14:36
bobstrojzaboo:  they are slow though.14:36
bobstrojuk:  with the keys, knowing the password won't be enough, yes. if that's what you mean.14:37
maedoxacovrig: c-71-228-197-38.h is not a valid hostname. Do « sudo nestat -n|grep :22 »14:37
jzaboo(bobstro): slow? Hm, have been using different versions of dd-wrt and everything is nice. Even modified mine with active cooling, parallel-port for jtag flashing and SD-cardslot14:37
bobstrojzaboo:  i just noticed my throughput drops compared to a cisco router i have.14:37
bobstrojzaboo:  i love it though, don't get me wrong. dd-wrt is amazing.14:38
senthilnambiHey guys, hows it going14:38
jzaboo(bobstro): perhaps turn of traffic monitoring or raise maximum connections.14:38
acovrigmaedox: 'tcp        0      0 192.168.2.8:22          71.228.197.38:47062     ESTABLISHED'14:38
yudi1juk: use public key with a pass-phrase for added security and also use allowusers option14:38
bobstrojzaboo:  it was a straight bandwidth test off of dslreports. i'd get 10+ Mbps down with the cisco, half that with dd-wrt on the wrt.14:38
Drone_Why would my Ubuntu system get speeds of 7Mb/1Mb and my W7 system get speeds of 28Mb/5Mb ?  Via Speedtest.net Both use same router, static DHCP, no special rules setup.14:39

jukQwert: no, im talking to bobstro, im using passwords like you nick14:40

senthilnambiI'm not able to push any code to my server using github14:41
Drone_<3 Comcast14:41
bobstrojuk:  the keys just restrict access to whoever and wherever those keys are. you can password-protect the actual keys too, so if your machine gets stolen, the keys won't let them in.14:41
maedoxacovrig: do you need anyone to access port 22 from the outside?14:42
jzaboo(bobstro): yeah, just play with the parameters. Had to do this when using rapiddshare downloaders because they open many connections at once for testing whether the files are up or down. Lowering the timeout has stopped my router from slowing down (and even crashing the webserver on it)14:42

denverdavegreetings.. am looking into running lucid at home but need windows for some games.. so looking at virtualization.. virtualbox seems best but are there any guides to taking a running XP ssystem and migrating to virtual box?15:28
rafael_I need help15:28
AbhiJitrafael_, hello rafael_ ask your question to channel in one line with details15:28
st__denverdave, games in virtualbox? LOL15:28
AbhiJitqueso, may be try in asking in #ubuntu-server15:29
bobstrodenverdave:  dual boot might be better. games don't do well virtualized.15:29
Kyle__denverdave: It's far easier to just make a new VM running XP...but there are instructinos.  Look over at the virtualbox webpage, or even at the p2v utility you can get from VMWare's website.15:29
Kyle__st__: If you have virtualization extensions, it works fine.15:29
st__Kyle__, lol it's not15:29
rafael_After upgrading ubuntu, I reboot it and now it goes directly to the command line of grub. It show only the prompt grub> .15:29
quesoAbhiJit: oh, I found it, thanks . . http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/15:29
edbiandenverdave, You want to make Ubuntu the host and virtualize your current xp install?  Perhaps it's just easier to dual boot.  (although you woudln't be able to run both at once you wouldn't be taking a performance hit.15:29
AbhiJitqueso, hmm15:30
Kyle__Whatever kid.15:30
AbhiJitrafael_, did you upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04??15:30
st__when installing, I said my system would be "C", how to undo it now?15:30
denverdavebobstro: let me define games: poker clients and possible poker database software lol15:30
edbianst__, Do you mean the hostname?15:31
AbhiJit!hostname | st__15:31
ubottust__: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly.15:31
bobstrodenverdave:  ah, those might be ok then.15:31
edbiandenverdave, You can play poker on linux15:31
denverdaveedbian: wine?15:31
edbiandenverdave, There are poker apps for linux.15:31
edbiandenverdave, I could use wine to run MS office or I could just use open office.  2 apps, some goal.15:32
edbiansame* goal15:32
bobstrodenverdave:  are these proprietary poker apps -- locked to a casino and such?15:32
denverdaveedbian: true.. but I also run a tool called Holdem manager and that is windows based15:32
edbiandenverdave, Then you could try wine.  Or virtualize xp, or dual boot15:32
{Titan}would ubuntu ever switch to selinux ?15:32
rafael_AbhiJit, No. I did not. I already was using 10.10 alpha and tried to upgrade to beta.15:32
AbhiJitrafael_, ask your question in #ubuntu+1 not here15:32
denverdaveedbian: i would like to try to virtualize xp for the practice15:32
bobstro{Titan}:  ubuntu is using apparmor, no?15:33
{Titan}bobstro, that much i know15:33
denverdaveI will check out the virtualbox website for how to set up xp..15:33
denverdavethanks!!!!15:33
bobstro{Titan}:  they're alternatives to each other, no?15:34
edbiandenverdave, good luck! :)  Have fun15:34
Kyle__denverdave: If you use p2v (available free on vmwares site), you can import the vmware vm into virtualbox.  That's probably youre most likely success path.  As far as performance goes: without virtualization extensions, office apps, compliation, development, java, etc work well enough.  With the extentions, you get near native speed.15:34
* Kyle__ shrugs15:34
LjLbobstro: they are quite different though15:34
LjL{Titan}: anyway i guess the answer is we don't have a crystal ball ;)15:34
bobstroLjL:  yes. i thought ubuntu was "the chosen alternative".15:34

LjLbobstro: well yes but that doesn't mean it can't be changed in the future, since there are important differences (and SELinux is definitely more powerful). just, i don't think there are any plans to switch at the moment.15:35
bobstroLjL, {Titan}: is apparmor still under development?15:35

st__edbian, bastid_raZor it doesn't anything for several years now15:39
josedownbobstro: I ended up removing the partitions15:39
Kyle__josedown: Go ahead and add a non-privliged user, gomerpile, or something like that, and try it.  It will only remove their home directory, and any files in /tmp that belong to tthem.  If they have a mail spool or crontab it will remove those too, but only theirs.15:39
bobstroliamsmithuk:  not running as root also protects you from doing foolish things like that!15:39
edbianskumara, I am not aware of any vulnerabilities.  I suppose that the system might be slightly less secure because there might be a bug in virtual box.  But that assumes they know a bug in xp that lets them get to a bug in virtualbox that lets them get to a bug in Ubuntu15:39

Karen_mhow is Ubuntu even working on Maverick if they do not have the sound issues fixed in Lucid?  A reboot will knock out the sound, a few reboots later it will be back.  Nothing changes in terms of hardware, just something whacky *somewhere815:50
JediMasteroh that daemontools15:50
JediMasterlol15:50
damian_out of curiosity what phone do you have?15:51
cordovalJediMaster: I have a nice setup with dropbox in shared hosting, and if I can do this, then I can keep the dropbox daemon running all the time, usually in a shared hosting account it drops after sometime15:51
JediMasterKaren_m no problems with sound in Lucid for me, it's more likely to be the driver for your particular hardware that's causing issues15:51
cordovalit would be great for people who develop sites and have a server running on local and a server running on the live server within the shared hosting account15:52
cordovalfilezilla will not be needed after this step is completed15:52
bobstrocordoval:  you could write a cron job to check on it periodically if you can't run daemontools15:52
sniperjofor some reason when i try and set my wifi channel to anything over 14 i get an error "invalid argument"15:52
dajhorncordoval: It is almost always better to use the @reboot cron job.15:52
wxlIs there any way you can quickly learn Linux system,I am a beginner15:52
edbiansniperjo, There are only 11 channels of wifi15:53

edbianwxl, That's like asking "is there anyway I can quickly learn to play the violin"15:53
cordoval@reboot cron job.! hmmm15:53
sniperjopopey: so for example if you went down the page a bit and it said chanel 36 was at 5190 mhz that would be weird right15:54
bobstrojuk:  that will launch the server (daemon). the client isn't launched via init.15:54
sniperjobobstro: no EU15:54
cordovalthat is actually good but how often can I check, this seems to fall very quickly15:54
cordovalsometimes15:54
bobstrocordoval:  just set a job to launch every few minutes, check for presence of dropbox running instance.15:54
dajhorncordoval: The @reboot thingy is described in the `man 5 crontab` page.   Note that @reboot is a linux-ism that isn't always available on other unix systems.15:55
cordovalall: note that the daemon dropboxd is installed on a shared hosting account, I have no root privileges15:55
edbiansniperjo, What?  wifi runs at 2.4 Ghz and there are only 11 channels.  What the heck are you running?15:55
AnthIsteI want to compile an SDL program at varsity but they do not have SDL_image and the like installed, is there a way to compile with the libraries and headers inside my project directory?15:55
jukbobstro: something's wron, i remeber it should be /etc/init.d/sshd15:55
bobstrosniperjo:  asking because not all channels are legal in all locations.15:55
bobstrojuk:  it's just /etc/init.d/ssh on my 10.04 workstation box15:55
cordovalgreat, so I guess you are right, it is better to use cron job15:56
cordovalI will report my findings soon15:56
sniperjoedbian:  wifi runs on about 3 different ranges15:56
jukbobstro: so you not running ssh server?15:56

cordovalusually how I run dropboxd is > python2.6 ~/bin/dropboxd.py start15:56

edbiansniperjo, Are you talking about 802.11?15:57
bobstrosniperjo:  802.11 b/g/n? or a?15:57
sniperjobobstro: im trying to setup a channel thats legal, but for some reason i am getting an invalid argument error15:57
jukbobstro: ah, ok, it's changed from last time isn't it?15:57
sniperjobobstro: ive got a usb car a/b/g/n15:57
bobstrosniperjo:  yes, well you're specifying invalid channels by the sound of it15:57
cordovalwhen I run the dropboxd daemon it runs and does the job, however after a while it falls for some reason, could be that it is hunted15:57
edbiansniperjo, Maybe you should read the bit about limitations here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wifi15:57
sniperjobobstro: is there a command to list the available chanels ?15:57
dajhorncordoval: Which shared host are you using?15:58
bobstrosniperjo:  that wikipedia article is a good start!15:58

cordovalbobstro: yes because the python thing is a script which will not run it twice, it will run it if it is down15:59
bobstrosniperjo:  channel range is limited to 11 (legal) in US, 14 elsewhere. but be aware that not all channels you can set are necessarily legal where you are.15:59
sniperjobobstro:  i know my card is can run channel 36 because it will do it fine on a mac15:59

[1]MMI updated 8.04 (LTS) to 10.4.1 (LTS) and now system can not boot, because it doesn't handle anymore my LVM setup. How I can restore my system with busybox?16:59
andreiutzaeon-ltd, i checked the router wich has openwrt installed and there is no filtering policy ? what could be some other reason ?16:59
vulnbecause I can't go through the logon window. And it keeps saying the instalation of the Gnome Power Management default configs are whatever16:59
aeon-ltdandreiutz: does the new mac address happen to be the same as another on the network?16:59

vulnaeon-ltd: samething17:04
Dr_Willisjiffe:   You have wrong entries in the fstab? ive had to remove theose befor.17:04
dajhorn[1]MM: You're probably screwed.  Use the Hardy Live CD, and try to regenerate the initrd with the update-initramfs script.  This is somewhat difficult.17:04
jiffeit still has entries in fstab, I need to boot to clean that up17:04
Dr_Willisjiffe:  it should give an option to skip the mounting of them as it boots.. or you could try a live cd, and mount/edit the file.17:04
dajhorn[1]MM: Your data is intact.  Don't worry.17:05
Dr_Willisjiffe:  or try the single user/rescue mode.. that may let you edit the file17:05
aeon-ltdvuln: ok, this may change some settings, but you could reinstall ubuntu-desktop (sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop)17:05
vulnhow long does it take?17:05
jiffeDr_Willis: yeah I tried recovery mode that still gets stuck at boot, was hoping there would be a way to do it without a livecd17:05
vulnaeon-ltd:17:05
aeon-ltdvuln: not that long17:06
vulnI will try restarting once again17:06
aeon-ltdvuln: if that doesn't work, uninstall ubuntu-desktop fully, then install ubuntu-desktop17:06
[1]MMdajhorn: I must try it tomorrow when I get back to work... but how to mount unworking LVM from SATA-drive to root?17:06
[1]MMdajhorn: or should I edit grub somehow, because grub begins booting, but stops to kernel panic with busybox?17:07
The_Acehas Grayson left ?17:07
dajhorn[1]MM: None of the Ubuntu Live CD environments will mount a non-standard LVM configuration to root.  Use the alternative installer Live CD to get the LVM tools.17:07
nurvhow can i share a mounted hard drive permanently without needing a login and password for samba?17:07
[1]MMdajhorn, thank you!17:08
Dr_Willisjiffe:  i recall a way.. but i thouight it asked 'enter password for matintance, or S for skip. or somthing like that'17:08
dajhorn[1]MM: The grub configuration is probably okay if you declined the grub2 upgrade.17:08
aeon-ltdThe_Ace: yes.17:08

kunuwhat is the /bin/false17:39
AnthIstewhy does a program not detect shared libraries in its current directory? you need LD_LIBRARY_PATH?17:39
Zykotic-K9kunu, it is typically used to create accounts that cannot actual log onto the system17:40
LjLkunu: a small program that always returns 117:40
Karen_mhow is Ubuntu even working on Maverick if they do not have the sound issues fixed in Lucid?  A reboot will knock out the sound, a few reboots later it will be back.  Nothing changes in terms of hardware, just something whacky *somewhere817:40

SteveThingst__, the program is Playstation Media Server and I didn't add anything to startup applications. It tries to start on boot-up, but doesn't seem to start correctly17:52
yskbut now my advanced compiz is not working17:52
JohnHeikkilaysk: You should remove the Compiz simple package. "sudo apt-get remove <package name>"17:53
yskmeans not a single confiz effect is working however they are on17:53

istevenmonst__: i thought about it, but wanted to know if there was something already implemented, and i dont know if google would like me pinging 24/718:13
jcrawfordistevenmon, yes as st__ said write a script that pings google every hour or so and logs when the connection is down18:14
jcrawfordno way to notify anyone though other than a log since there is no connection18:14
jcrawfordchadi, why can you not? what happens when you click apply system-wide?18:14

chadijcrawford, it used to work fine -- started to experiment this after having updated -- it just hangs .. then asks for my pass 3 times in a row, then asks for my pass to change gconf settings and it says wrong pass18:15

chadijcrawford, how come it accepts my pass for the 3 times in a row and gives wrong pass only when gconf changes come18:16
jcrawfordand for some reason when the script is run if you open the UI it does not see it as being set system-wide even though it is :)18:16

TheEskimoHello #ubuntu. I have a slight problem. I'm trying to install the grub boot loader on my /dev/sda5 partition by running "grub-install /dev/sda5". The error is "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device". Additional details: I'm using a macbook pro and trying to do a triple boot (win and osx working, just need my *nix). If I run mount /dev/sda5 /media/tmp + ls /media/tmp(/boot) I can see the boot folder exi18:19

obiwan_hi, i'm trying to mount a file as a partition. i filled a 30 mb file with zeros. the effect i want is that when i do fdisk -l, i get a sort of /dev/sth for that file, so i can mount it or something. does this manke any sense?18:21

gwernon lucid i686. has anyone seen an issue where mplayer plays files without problem, but then takes like 5 seconds to exit? doesn't seem to be related to .mplayer/config or mplayer options18:32
jcrawfordI am not sure which files are altered so I am not sure what to tell you to edit :)18:32
jribgwern: yes, it's related to the sound (try with -ao null to see).  I haven't cared enough to look into ti18:33
gwernjrib: hm, you're right. it exits immediately with -ao null18:34
WhiteDawngwern, pulseaudio issue maybe?18:34
gwernWhiteDawn: that would be the conclusion I'm trying to avoid :(18:34
JEEBsvOhi. Can anyone enlighten me on the official way of letting a 'normal user' touch (write etc.) stuff to the default /var/www folder, or is it overall unrecommended to use that folder in the first place?18:35
gwernI'll try asking #mplayer18:35
JEEBsvI tried adding myself to the www-data group, but I still don't seem to have the rights18:35
WhiteDawngwern, can you try using alsa wrapper for pulse audio?18:35
WhiteDawngwern, good idea18:35
chadijcrawford, no I don't always use it; I usually find the UI from System > Pref > network proxy18:36
LordDragonhey all18:36
jcrawfordchadi, that's the same UI so all is good18:36
jribgwern: well if you find a solution, I'd appreciate it if you pass it along :)18:36
jcrawfordi meant if you manually altered files, then you could not click the direct internet connection to wipe away the other changes18:36

gwernWhiteDawn: while I'm waiting on #mplayer, any resources on using the alsa wrapper?18:37
chadijcrawford, I never did, but I have a feeling that the flashplugin-installer did that :/18:37
WhiteDawngwern, try -ao alsa possibly?18:37
gwernjrib: well, I need a solution because it's tripling the time it takes to do my daily flashcard review; it's just an inconvenience to you18:37

ActionParsnipbillur_19: run: alltray chromium-browser18:42
gwernWhiteDawn: -ao oss seems to work, but only if nothing else is running, which means it's interesting but not a real solution18:42
gwernWhiteDawn: if something else is running -ao oss kills mplayer with an error about /dev/dsp being busy18:42

ActionParsnipbillur_19: same with any command :)18:42

=== SoulShadow` is now known as SoulShadow
ActionParsnipbillur_19: maybe it has issues being trayed.18:43
billur_19ActionParsnip: the problem is chrome is running many process not one.18:43
LordDragonZethrok, ok someone replied to that with: this problem is caused by using unofficial, 3rd party packages of ffmpeg. install the ones from the ubuntu archive to resolve this issue.18:43
gwernWhiteDawn: gimme a moment to install alsa-oss...18:43
LordDragonZethrok, how do i reinstall with the official ffmpeg?18:43
ActionParsnipbillur_19: if you run the browser, then press alt+f2 and run: alltray ,if you click the browser, does it tray?18:43
leshaki need from help! (server 1 - all databases | server 2 only phpmyadmin, how can i make for this phpmyadmin on server 2 connect using databases of the server 1?)18:43
gwernWhiteDawn: a command like 'aoss mplayer -ao oss skank.ogg' has the exit delay with and without other programs running18:43
billur_19ActionParsnip: i have to give to cammand the process of windows. but how ? i had to docky with any idea to system tray. but i dont know how..18:44
gwernWhiteDawn: works both ways though18:44
osteenbergenskfin isnt the default recorder working?18:44
billur_19ActionParsnip: yes with gui it works.18:44
a5h15hquit18:44
WhiteDawngwern, very strange, it seems it doesnt matter what sound layer mplayer is using, as long as it goes through alsa/pulseaudio it lags on close18:45
ActionParsnipbillur_19: log a bug is all I can suggest. I know awn can have apps minimizing to the dock like mac does18:45
billur_19ActionParsnip: because with gui we tray the chrome's window not the other processes. i need to do it on command line.18:45
obiwan_hey juk_ i've read that, and it certanily does what i need. the problem is that looks like a project, in the sense that it doesn't look like i could grab a binary and run a command in my terminal. maybe i should install the uml thing, etc. i wonder if there's some other way, using common unix programs like mount, mkfs, etc. i think what i want is simmilar to what swap file does. i mean, you can either use a swap partition, or use a file as s18:45
ZethrokLordDragon: I'm guessing you might have installed another version of ffmpeg or using 3rd party for another [unofficial] build18:45
billur_19ActionParsnip: i use awn too. i did not know that awn do that. i will research.18:45
ActionParsnipbillur_19: if you can alltray PID then you can get the pid of the process and tray that instead18:45
gwernWhiteDawn: that makes sense if mplayer or a layer is doing some sort of transaction with pulseaudio - registering/unregistering or soemwthing. I know part of mplayer's slowness to start comes from it doing stuff to block various screensavers from running18:46
ZethrokLordDragon: Could you try something like apt-get remove ffmpeg && apt-get install ffmpeg and run mplayer again?18:46
gwernpulseaudio doesn't have a reputation for speed18:46
ZolDamnit, didn't work. Still can't write ???????????? :(18:46

st__xbonesx, mintm menu is kinda stupid18:47
BluesKajskfin,  what is your audio source ?18:47
Picileshak: dpkg --reconfigure phpmyadmin should prompt you for your mysql server ip and credentials.  Also, make sure that the credentials you are using are able to access mysql from the ip address that your phpmyadmin server is running on.18:47
xbonesxst__: why?18:47
st__it's inconvenient18:47
billur_19ActionParsnip: PIS is changing everytime i restart the program (also my computer). so it will not work on startup this command: alltray PID. :(18:47
ActionParsnipbillur_19: you may need to alltray via pid after the app is executed using a bash script to both launch the app and to tray it18:48
gwernjrib: though https://launchpad.net/~motumedia/+archive/mplayer-daily doesn't seem very active...18:48
ActionParsnipbillur_19: you can use the pidof command ;)18:48
xbonesxst__: i dont think so, but then again im about eyecandy and im all about that aspect18:48
LordDragonZethrok, ok i did it. still get the same error18:48

LordDragonis there a way to reinstall mplayer and all its dependencies?18:52
WhiteDawngwern, hmm could be a problem with ffmpeg then? Atleast the problem is a little more specific now18:52
osteenbergenrsr no it does not18:52
chadiwhat is the difference between system wide proxy settings and user proxy settings?18:52
BluesKajskfin, check alsamixer make sure none of your cytls are muted or turned down ..then you won't need the line in loop18:52
ActionParsniprsr: if its on the cd, yes18:52
rsrosteenbergen, ok thank you...just to make sure, i am talking about the firmware not the drivers18:52
JohnHeikkilabillur_19: Does it not tray it? For me, it trays it but I have to click the icon on the tray to run it18:53
jcrawfordchadi, system-wide means all users use those setting unless overridden18:53
jribLordDragon: reinstalling rarely changes things18:53
BluesKajerr ctrls , skfin18:53
jcrawforduser means ONLY for that user18:53
gwernWhiteDawn: it could be, but doesn't 'uninit' and 'removing filter' sound like it's waiting on pulseaudio/the system18:53
LordDragonjrib, so then what do i need to? completely reinstall ubuntu?18:53
jribLordDragon: I don't know, I don't know your issue18:53
jcrawfordchadi, as for your issues i am sorry I do not know how to solve it18:53
ZethrokLordDragon: hmmn, could you look into System->Administration->Software Sources. Try and disable most/all in "Other Software". Run apt-get update and then apt-get full-upgrade.18:53
billur_19JohnHeikkila:  with gui it trays because it understand which process is window. but with command line it does not works :(18:54
chadijcrawford, yeah, it's okay thank you for trying :)18:54
Zethroklong shot though18:54
JohnHeikkilabillur_19: Are you in a console mode?18:54

billur_19ActionParsnip: im trying what you wrote me...18:54
LordDragonjrib, i had installed mplayer with apt-get, but then wanted to compile the latest one. but my compile failed halfway through and now the original one wont load. i just get this error: mplayer: relocation error: mplayer: symbol codec_wav_tags, version LIBAVFORMAT_52 not defined in file libavformat.so.52 with link time reference18:55
billur_19JohnHeikkila: console mode? i just had to add a script or command line startup program...18:55

ActionParsnipkrash: in future I recommend HP. They support linux very well18:57
gwernWhiteDawn: both while it's still actually playing, and during the delay, it still delays18:58
LordDragonjrib, i posted whats in there18:58
WhiteDawngwern, is it just mplayer? or other programs using audio have this problem18:58
kapcom01hello, i used ubuntu lucid live cd to install ubuntu on an LVM partitioned disk. First i installed lvm2 so the installer sees the logical volumes and then i installed on one of them.. Installation completed and after reboot  it drops to a shell.. something like this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/25547718:58
LordDragonZethrok, E: Invalid operation full-upgrade18:58
jribLordDragon: I meant inside the directories you posted.  You clearly have some custom things installed18:58
gwernWhiteDawn: hm. I'm not really sure how to check. if I fired up totem or something, any delay might be hidden by the GUI18:59
gwernsimilarly with flash18:59
gwernI guess I would need another CLI player18:59
WhiteDawngwern, try launching it from the terminal, the prompt wont show up till the progrem closes18:59
jribgwern: try cvlc19:00
ZethrokLordDragon: sorry, just apt-get upgrade :). Just keep in mind disabling all 3rd party sources will fetch official builds if you use those19:00
billur_19 ActionParsnip:  JohnHeikkila: thank you. i will try that i can do...19:00
gwernjrib: you mean vlc-nox ?19:00
jribgwern: sure, cvlc is the command19:01
LordDragonZethrok, yeah it had no effect19:01
wildc4rdevenin all19:01
RoguishRavagerLordDragon: you did sudo apt-get upgrade right?19:02
gwernWhiteDawn: think I may've found a similar bug report by gooingling the uninit line: http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2010-August/080852.html19:02
LordDragonRoguishRavager, yes19:03
blendereris there some way to get the docs package for an application or library to always be installed when I install an application or library19:03
WhiteDawngwern, sadly no replys19:03
gwernchecking with cvlc doesn't help much. it seems to hang by default since it plays files consecutively immediately19:03
st__why my sound card works when I modprobe it but not automatically?19:04
mbroekerblenderer, it will be most likely in the -dev packages19:04
gwernWhiteDawn: yeah. nothing in september either19:05
mbroekerblenderer, check for -dev and -doc packages.19:05
WhiteDawngwern, have u tried the terminal vlc19:05
blendereri'm often offline, or connected to horrible connections, thinking damnit i wish I had the docs19:05
LordDragonRoguishRavager, it upgraded a few things, but nothing to do with mplayer19:05
gwernWhiteDawn: that was the terminal vlc19:05
blenderermbroeker: i was hoping for somehow to automatically pulll them. I don't always remember to look19:06
gwernat level 9, the before-slowdown line is '[[[uninit getch2]]]19:06

obiwan_hey people, i'd like to know if its possible to make a partition out of a file. so fdisk -l will list /dev/file as a partition. i alraedy have a 30 mb file filled with zeros.19:08
awdafgfaaahello ppl please someone help me with bind9   i have rndc issue i have run rndc-confgen and updated both named.conf and rndc.conf file the key is same but i have this error: http://pastebin.com/hZV5TAH819:08
awdafgfaaaIm sick fixing this error i really need some help :-)19:08
st__obiwan_, loopback device19:09
Dr_Willis /quit19:09
obiwan_st__: that's what i tried, mount -t iso9660 -o loop ~/Desktop/file /mnt19:09
WhiteDawngwern, its obviously a widespread problem as the other user on the irc reported the same issue. Cant seem to find anything on the internet though19:10
gwernalright, let's try mplayer from https://launchpad.net/~rvm/+archive/mplayer19:10
Atlantic777Hi! I screwed up /var/log. Is there some way to get it work again?19:10
Zykotic-K9obiwan_, iso9660 is typically cdrom filesystem - is that what you want?19:10
Atlantic777I erased the whole dir.19:10
mbroekerawdafgfaaa, check the permissions for your key file rndc.key19:10
gwernnope, that mplayer has the delay too19:10
obiwan_st__: but doesnt work :( i get wrong filesystem or osmething19:10
WhiteDawngwern, yeah i was gonna suggest u run a newwer version, but older ones work too19:10
gwernmaybe I should try subversion mplayer19:11
WhiteDawngwern, worth a shot19:11
Zykotic-K9gwern, what issue are you having with mplayer?19:11
obiwan_yes Zykotic-K9 , i want to make a kind of iso9660 cd device, so i can burn images to it19:11
ActionParsnipTried vlc?19:11
WhiteDawnZykotic-K9, it hangs for a couple of seconds on close19:11
awdafgfaaambroeker, -rw------- 1 chrnamed chrnamed    77 Sep 28 21:55 rndc.key19:11
c3lgwern: there wouldnt be any reason that the nightly builds would work, the version in the repo is stable and nice19:11
gwernActionParsnip: vlc is no good; Mnemosyne uses mplayer19:12
ActionParsnipI see19:12
VCoolioAtlantic777: recreate the dir (sudo mkdir -p /var/log); if you want the contents back, try some recovery tool, there are several19:12
WhiteDawnZykotic-K9, we narrowed it down to something with closing alsa19:12
gwernActionParsnip: it may be possible to make mnemosyne use vlc or something, but it is distinctly an inferior option to actually solving the problem19:12
Zykotic-K9WhiteDawn, gwern sorry i gots nothin' for that issue (haven't experienced it, or heard of it before)  good luck guys.19:12
ActionParsnipgwern: have you ran the sound troubleshooting script?19:12
ActionParsnipgwern: mplayer imho is better anyhoo :)19:13
mbroekerawdafgfaaa, awdafgfaaa chmod 644 rndc.key and restart bind. if it helps, play with the permissions. if not, restore the old permissions, eg chmod 600 rndc.key19:13
gwernActionParsnip: no. I doubt it would pick up non-error issues19:13
Zykotic-K9WhiteDawn, actually you could try switching the ao to something different to test19:13
ActionParsnipgwern: it gives a LOT of information about the sound system and drivers etc19:13
krashThanks again all who answered me working on it :)19:13
ActionParsnipgwern: give its output using www.pastie.org19:14
WhiteDawnZykotic-K9, yeah oss worked fine, but when we wrapped it in aoss the problem came back. Running OSS is a workaround as mplayer can be the only program running because it needs direct access to /dev/dsp19:14
Atlantic777VCoolio, there is /var/log dir but it's empty.19:14
gwernActionParsnip: I don't know what this script is, anyway19:14
Atlantic777VCoolio, apt wont work because lock file is gone.19:14
LoshkiActionParsnip: where is the 'sound troubleshooting script?19:14
ActionParsnipgwern: that's why I'm getting you it19:14

bolatHey guys! Please give me some advice on where I can find driver for VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN700/P4M800 Pro/P4M800 CE/VN800 [S3 UniChrome Pro] (rev 01) ?20:46
bolatI want 3D20:46
Piciandrewaclt: That will pull in the current generic kernel image for your arch20:46
Picizax1: Then what you're asking is offtopic, try #ubuntu-offtopic20:47
ejvbobstro: yea although when I'm running in screen, the auth doesn't follow seperate terminal instances, so having to constantly use sudo and auth can be a pain, im a power user though god knows what his setup was20:47

TomatoINHello again, updated question. When I try to boot from a CD on a VAIO the laptop starts reading the CD-ROM but after awhile it boots Windows. Why?20:47
andrewacltPici, I installed a mainline kernel to test some intel driver stuff. If I just install the old kernel will it automatically use the other installed kernel?20:47
TomatoINI can hear the CD drive working20:48
andrewacltPici, *If I uninstall the new kernel20:48
akoimeexxCD might not have burned as bootable. What'd you burn it with?20:48
ejvTomatoIN: did you burn the image as a readable ISO?20:48
akoimeexx@TomatoIN20:48
Piciandrewaclt: You'll need to remove the mainline ppa and reinstall the linux-image package.20:48
TomatoINejv, yes and I also tried in another laptop and works fine. I also tried external CD drive and I get the same result with the particular VAIO20:48
mattgyverTomatoIN, is bios set to boot from CD, and the boot priority right?20:48
ejvTomatoIN: shake your fist at Sony :)20:49
cyb3r3li0gErry if you are still arround, try running dosfsck in non-interactive mode (add a -y to your command), this should automatically deal with the issues you are seeing20:49
TomatoINmattgyver, yes everything is set right20:49
Phuanyone available yet familiar with installing ip6tables targets?20:49
ulrichard_Hi guys, I wrote an application that runs fine when I run it from the commandline or a script. But if I try to run it from cron, I get this: "critical error : basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid".20:50
mattgyverTomatoIN, maybe try a slower burn20:50
AndyGraybealhow do i find how fast my processor speed is?20:51

GalaxorHi.  I wandered away for awhile.  I was asking about my usb hard drive hangs.  I've got a usb external enclosure.  New behavior is this:  It works for awhile and then hangs up.  Attempts to access the drive with such as ls will cause infinite hanging.  dmesg says this:  usb 2-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6.20:55
gmaculohow do i disable the default sorting of hidden files and case insensitivity in ls? -- also noticed command line regexp are also case insensitive.. how do i turn that crap off?20:56
GalaxorI don't know if this is a hardware or software issue.  I just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04.  It's not the enclosure or the cable, cuz I just replaced both.  It still could be the plug I'm plugging into for power, or it could be the usb on the mobo.20:56
jribgmaculo: what do you mean by "command line regexp are also case insensitive"?20:56
GalaxorI've tried googling, and I've found people complaining about the same issue 2-3 years ago, but could not extract useful advice out of these threads.20:57
gmaculolike when i do cp [a-f]* , it copies files starting with A-F also20:57
xbonesxanyone know why when you have a new cursor set, that it reverts back to the regular one when hovered over firefox?20:58
alexleaP-p-p-p-poker face p-p-p-poker face20:58
gmaculo---on ext3, not fat20:58
bobstroGalaxor:  is it bus powered?20:58
glebihanxbonesx: probably because firefox sets it own cursor20:59
joajimenezAnyone here hates Gwibber?20:59
Galaxorbobstro:  No, it's got an AC adaptor.  When I switched the enclosure, I switched the adaptor also.  So if there's a power problem, it's at the wall.20:59
glebihan!ot | joajimenez20:59
ubottujoajimenez: #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!20:59
erUSULgmaculo: should not happen by default. you tweaked your bash init files20:59
odb|fidelhi20:59
jribgmaculo: that's globbing, not regexp.  I didn't know that was enabled by default, what does this return: shopt nocaseglob20:59
odb|fidelrunning 10.04 here and wondering about the following dialog: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/223435/public_trash/20100928_%202156_ss.jpg21:00
nemchikquestion: is the mono runtime actually useful for anything an average user would do?21:00
gmaculosays on...21:00
odb|fideli assume my preferences (never, nothing, never) should end up in never seeing this dialog21:00
bobstroGalaxor:  could it be the drive itself? i actually did have two usb adapters (enclosures) die on me on the same day once, but that's unlikely.21:00
jribgmaculo: turn it off I suppose.  What version of ubuntu is this?21:00
odb|fidelwhile this dialog appears from time to time ...is that a known behaviour on ubuntu?21:00
odb|fideli do run updates from cli daily21:00
gmaculo10.0421:00
Galaxorbobstro:  Could be.  I did an fsck and it came up clean, but ... can I do smart over the usb?  Or does that depend on the enclosure?21:01
xbonesxglebihan: think so... ill look around in the firefox folders21:01
bobstroGalaxor:  not sure about smart. you could hook the drive up internally to test.21:01
bobstroGalaxor:  have you tried it on other computers?21:02
gmaculodoing the same regardless of that setting21:02
gmaculo:P21:02
Galaxorbobstro: No, that's a good idea.  I've got another computer right here.21:02
jribgmaculo: pastebin a series of commands that shows that21:02
Galaxorbobstro: easier than opening the case.21:02
bobstroGalaxor:  i should have suggested that 1st.21:02

Acidphase/dev/dsp: No such file or directory21:03

Acidphase/dev/dsp: No such file or directory : Running Unreal Tournament21:05
guntbertodb|fidel: please rephrase it in one line - its hard to read it if it is spread across the page :-)21:05

odb|fidelwhat might cause this dialog? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/223435/public_trash/20100928_%202156_ss.jpg (10.04)21:06
odb|fidelpersonaly i would assume the setting (never/nothing/neveR) should prevent such gui notifications21:07
VCoolioodb|fidel: isn't there something in startup applications that causes this?21:07
odb|fidelout of the box yes- not here21:07
gmaculojrib: http://pastebin.com/C7tY77FD21:08
Galaxorbobstro: Okay, I've got the drive plugged into the other computer.  It's not entirely deterministic, so it might take awhile to determine whether I experience this problem.21:08
aromanHey guys, somehow a package (the maverick light themes PPA for lucid) got messed up on my 10.04.1 desktop. The important information is here, also with the result of the suggestion resolution commands. http://paste.ubuntu.com/502293/ Thanks SO MUCH!21:08
odb|fidelVCoolio: on a new 10.04 install yes-  while i deselected that user startup item already. So no in my case21:08
Galaxorbobstro: If it turns out to work on this computer, what should I do?  The other computer is also running Ubuntu 10.04.21:08
jribgmaculo: this shows me nothing...21:08
bobstroGalaxor:  is there another hub on your motherboard? other ports to try?21:09
odb|fidelVCoolio: it just appears from time to time and my impression is that its related with additional ppas i added21:09
bobstroGalaxor:  perhaps it's a speed issue?21:09
VCoolioodb|fidel: adding ppas alone doesn't cause extra action21:09
odb|fidelVCoolio: thats why i am wondering21:10
Galaxorbobstro: Plugged into mobo are keyboard, mouse, and hub I'm not using.  Hub is built into the monitor.  When I have the drive plugged into this computer, it's plugged straight into the mobo.21:10
odb|fidelVCoolio: i do run manually almost daily in cli - so i really dont get why those notification appear at all21:10
bobstroGalaxor:  sorry, which is it plugged into when NOT working?21:10
gmaculojrib: ideally, it is supposed to sort with . first, caps next, then lowercase. the cp [a-z]* test2 is ONLY supposed to copy files starting with lowerase21:10
jribgmaculo: you need to show the nocaseglob setting, then run some simple command that shows it globbing with case insensitivity or whatever21:10
Kageeveryone remember to add this line to their .bashrc file:   alias MotherMayI=sudo21:11
cellardoorI used to have Starcraft 2 running perfectly with Wine, but now it refuses to patch and I cannot save modified registery entries such as VideoMemorySize without it being removed next time I run wine. Any wine users here able to help?21:11
Galaxorbobstro: When it's not working, it's plugged straight into the mobo.21:11
VCoolioodb|fidel: I don't know; if it happesns again find out what process is behind it and search from there21:11
jribgmaculo: we're talking about globbing not sorting21:11
Galaxorbobstro: Now, I've got the drive plugged into my laptop, and not this computer.21:11
xbonesxis there a config file for mozilla firefox?21:12
bobstroGalaxor:  sometimes there are different controllers for front & rear ports. if the onboard usb hub isn't up to snuff, it might cause problems with high-speed devices whilst working ok with low speed.21:12
odb|fidelVCoolio: k - i was just wondering if anyone else realized that behaviour21:12
bobstroxbonesx:  about:config21:12
Galaxorbobstro: I have one more port in the desktop's mobo that I could try.  I could also unplug the hub I'm not using.21:12
xbonesxbobstro: huh?21:12
bobstroGalaxor:  if it's a powered enclosure, you *should* be ok, but worth a shot.21:12
odb|fidelVCoolio: it just happens on 1 of my 10.04 installations - so its not a default thing ;)21:12
gmaculough. nevermind ..21:12
jribgmaculo: why?21:12
bobstroxbonesx:  to configure firefox. enter in the url bar.21:12
Galaxorbobstro: I've been plugging this straight into the back of the computer.21:12
aromanHow to resolve: Depends: gconf2 (>= 2.28.1-2) but 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 is installed21:13
VCoolioodb|fidel: sorry, I never saw it or disabled it without remembering21:13
bobstroGalaxor:  understood. powered enclosure shouldn't require much from mobo, but worth reducing load on it to test.21:13
xbonesxbobstro: wow, thanks a lot21:13
gmaculoi just want my commands to work correctly. if i wanted my system ase insensitive, i'd use fat21:13
akoimeexxSo, I even tried building libao from source and installing. Still a no-go on this server I'm fiddling with. Anyone have experience with Ubuntu on ppc systems?21:13

guntbertVCoolio: you said: "find out what process is behind it..." -- how can you do that?21:14
xbonesxbobstro: see anything about the mouse that is set by firefox, if there even is one?21:14
LordDragonanyone know a img sharing site that doesnt scale the image?21:14
bobstroxbonesx:  i'm not aware of anything, but i haven't really looked.21:14
bobstroxbonesx:  though... i did have strangeness with cursor changing a while back. is that your issue?21:14
VCoolioguntbert: something like ps -ef | grep update/apt/notifier whatever, or maybe xprop knows something21:15
xbonesxbobstro: yesir21:15
VCoolioguntbert: I have e17, it has an option to see what process is behind the window, very convenient21:15
guntbertVCoolio: e17?21:15
bobstroxbonesx:  ah. i can only tell you that i found the answer via google. i honestly don't remember what the issue was, but it was a quick fix.21:15
VCoolioguntbert: enlightenment, you know, the awesome window manager that has released alpha after ten years21:16
Galaxorbobstro: Hm.  I don't think I was loading it heavily.  I was playing mp3s off of there, one at a time.  I don't know if it's dropping out when I'm not playing mp3s off of there.21:16
guntbertVCoolio: :-)21:16
bobstroGalaxor:  i think you're in the realm of hardware puzzles. it should "just work" if power is sufficient.21:17
bobstroGalaxor:  just for fun, try it off the hub?21:17
xbonesxbobstro: well i figured out that if you put the folder with the images in the /usr/share/icons/ folder and then change your current mouse "cursor.theme" file too inherit=<the one you want> that it solves the mouse issue acrooss the board in gnome, but when above firefox it goes back to default21:17
bobstroxbonesx:  i wasn't even doing that much. just basic interface stuff.21:17
Galaxorbobstro: Yeah.  Could there be a kernel bug, though?  The biggest change recently was the update to 10.04.21:18
LordDragonhey im getting this weird quirk in the topbar in ubuntu 10.04. all my application icons have a white background instead of matching the bar. anyone know whats wrong? heres what it looks like http://i.imgur.com/Zugq1.jpg21:18
bobstroGalaxor:  maybe try booting off an older live cd and test?21:18
LordDragoni tried a reboot and its still there21:18

mr_christensorpudding: No but it is still community supported and for the most part quite good.21:28
odb|fidelrebirth: there is a plugin/add-in for that in tomboy21:28
mr_chrisAt least it used to be last I checked.21:28
akoimeexxmr_chris: Well, up to this point I've tried building & installing libao from source, and installing alsa. I'm at a loss for what else to try. Google wasn't as helping as I wanted it to be.21:28
ikoniaDrDamnit: I would boot from a livecd and manually fsck the file systems21:28
DrDamnitikonia: once it clears the "I need to run fsck" flag, it will boot normally? What about 31 boots from now?21:28
ikoniaDrDamnit: that should work21:29
akoimeexxI've tried grepping to find out where libao2 is located, but couldn't find it. Couldn't locate it either, even though it's reported installed.21:29
Galaxorbobstro: Aha.  We have a dropout here in the hub now.21:29
DrDamnitI'll try that.21:29
rebirthodb|fidel: i see i have it installed but i don't know how to use it21:29
DrDamnitikonia: thanks.21:29
mr_chrisakiomeex: Are you trying to use something that requires libao? Correct me if I'm wrong but normally libao is separate from the general sound working.21:29
odb|fidelrebirth: ctrl+l21:29
akoimeexxmr_chris: mpg321, in particular.21:29
akoimeexxmr_chris: Neither that nor mpg123 will work without libao, from what I've seen.21:30
odb|fidelshould give you a timestamp - while personaly i would prefer defining an abbreviation in autokey (another app) ...as this abbreviation for a timestamp works everywhere  - not just in your tomboy notes thing21:30

odb|fidelmy fault21:30
rebirthodb|fidel: that's it21:30
odb|fidelrebirth: consider using AutoKey ;)21:30
bobstroGalaxor:  it may not mean much if that hub goes back to the same motherboard ports, but it was worth a shot.21:30
LordDragonhey guys, after selecting the recommended nvidia driver, i cant seem to turn on ANY desktop effects. i get the error "the composite extension is not avilable"21:30
mr_chrisakoimeex: Also, what are you trying to do with sound on a server?21:31
rebirthodb|fidel: AutoKey?21:31
bobstroGalaxor:  any other hi-speed usb devices you can try off the motherboard?21:31
akoimeexxYes. aplay reports audio open error: No such file or directory (in attempt to access audio hardware, I would guess.)21:31
odb|fidelrebirth: abbreviation & macro app21:31
odb|fidelrebirth: i.e. i defined ;dt for autoinserting the current time & date . that works everywhere - not just in tomboy21:31

Galaxorbobstro: I have another test, too.  When the mp3-playing was working on the laptop, it was using totem.  On the desktop, it's always with Rhythmbox when it doesn't work.  I'm trying totem on the bad computer to see if it will also act good.  If it acts good, then that means that it didn't mean anything that it was working on the laptop.21:33
erUSULCkhiKuzad: ubuntu has no firewall so if there is something listening in the port nothing will block it. you may have to configure nat on your router21:34

bekksusing 10.04 server, and screen with just two shells open, it appears that screen has more than one screen buffer, which makes it impossible to scroll withing, without switching the buffer.21:40
TomTom34am I still invisible21:41
bekkshow can i set screen to have just one buffer, for not having to switch buffers anymore?21:41
erUSULTomTom34: no21:41
rebirthTomTom34: we can see you, stop flooding the channel21:41
TomTom34ok thanks god21:41
erUSUL!ask | TomTom3421:41
The_Pacomattbd, well, that didn't work it seems, unless I need to restart completely rather than logging out21:41
ubottuTomTom34: 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. :-)21:41
erUSULbekks: i do not understand what you mean by « switch buffers » ...21:41
Galaxorbobstro:  Running benchmark, thanks.  Also, it looks like I've got partial smart data through here.  I couldn't get anything from smartctl, but maybe I just didn't have the right args.21:42
Galaxorbobstro: The partial smart data I got looked good.21:42
TomTom34what does the Usage column in the Disk Usage analyzer mean. I have a folder that shows 100% usage and its 80gigs, the folder is a database of an application, now that I want to upload some documents to the database its not allowing it to, I have 8 gig left in my 700gig hard drive, please help21:42
mattbdThe_Paco:No, if it worked you should be able to log back in and see the effect immediately. Are you physically in front of the machine or are you accessing it via SSH?21:43
erUSULTomTom34: 5% of space is reserved for root21:43
Galaxorbobstro: The read benchmark went through without dropping out the drive.21:43
The_Pacohmp... I typed ". ~/.bashrc" and now I have ";user@host:~user@host:~$" prefacing each line. Any way to unscrew that?21:43
sirecatNeed some help getting vinagre to connect. I have installed tightvnc server as well. I can use the default terminal server client, I am prompted for a password, then I connect to my host(win7). The opposite is true of vinagre I tell it to connect to the ip address and it comes back with a connection closed message. Anyone help?21:43
TomTom34erUSUL, so 8 gigs not enough for uploading any data ?21:43
The_Pacomattbd, I'm physically in front of it21:43
IchatTomTom,34 - ALSO  it might be that its a userquota (check that if wil).21:44
TomTom34erUSUL, if 5% is for root, then there should be 35gig free ?21:44
bekkserUSUL: it is described in here: http://jmcpherson.org/screen.html in the paragraph "Copying, pasting, and the scrollback buffer"21:44
Galaxorbobstro: I dunno.  I'll keep meddling, working under the theory that this is a hardware issue.  I'll try to rule it out.  I like the idea of the rescue disk.  I might have to wait till tomorrow to do that, though.21:44
TomTom34erUSUL, the drive is 700 gig21:45
IchatTomTom34:   not entirly - because  of that  35 gb - root might stil have some files that where chowned to it.   so21:45
The_Pacomattbd, I'm able to adjust the monitor a bit to fit all the characters, but it still cuts them partially off on both sides (old monitor, can't adjust more). It just needs to be one character per line narrower21:45
Mike_Fliphi I'm trying to get Bluetooth working on my acer aspire 500021:45
Ichatthat wil go off your  35gb21:45
mattbdThe_Paco: I take it you aren't running a graphical desktop?21:45
The_Paconope, ubuntu server21:45
erUSULbekks: i do not see the problem each screen has its own scroll buffer as it should21:46
The_Pacofirst time any linux hasn't automagically accommodated my odd monitors, so I've never even had to think about what goes into it21:46
erUSULTomTom34: what error do you get when you try to copy the data?21:46
bekkserUSUL: i am used to screen which allows scrolling with shift+PGUP/DOWN without having to enter copy mode first.21:46
Ichattomtom -  you could try and tweak yourself some extra data.  but  the easy way would just bit to  either add a new disk or to   delete some 'unused' stuff21:47

ikoniamartez89: 10.10 is unsupported21:57
erUSULwpecker: /etc/pulse/daemon.conf ?21:57
mattbdking313: I've used Fluxbox and IceWM on netbooks before and both are good. Might want to consider Peppermint Ice or Crunchbang Linux too21:57
ZykoticK9king313, i used to be a fan of UNE (UNR really) but to not recommend it to people anymore.  If you are looking for something "minimal" you might want to check out lubuntu.21:57
wpecker(erUSUL): can you tell me the exact setting in there for it?21:57
ikoniamartez89: you can discuss in the channel #ubuntu+1 but keep in mind it's unsupported21:57

ZykoticK9mattbd, i used to really like UNR for my old EEE 701 netbooks - but as versions went on, i liked it less and less (it's just personal opinion mind you)22:01
drdeepsGuys I'm still on 9.10 because for some reason 10.04 stopped appearing on boot up. It would come up to the login screen, i could hit enter, type my password and hit enter again and hear the login noise but no display. I had the driver installed for my graphics card and it stopped working I think. So I re-installed 9.10 cause it's the only disk I have, upgraded, and it stayed like that. I have the driver now for my graphics card, do you22:01
drdeeps think it will still work if I upgrade to 10.04 in preparation for 10.10 or will the Upgrade Manager change the 10.04 upgrade to 10.1022:01
wpecker(erUSUL): the first option in the second tab there just turns the listening on an off, but I can't set it to listen only on local22:01

ZykoticK9drdeeps, just FYI but 10.04 will not by default upgrade to 10.10 (as Maverick is not an LTS release, obviously it's just a config change to allow the non-LTS version upgrade)22:04
TomTom34erUSUL, its only 100kb png image22:04
erUSULwpecker: if you do not allow network access to local sound devices" you are setting it to listen only local22:04
GadgetwizardHello All22:05
Dulakyou don't even have to change config files, just run 'update-manager -d' and it will give you the upgrade option to 10.1022:05
drdeepsRight, I realize I'll have to manually upgrade. But on 9.10 in the update manager it says 10.04 at the top. will that change to 10.10 when it is released so I can upgrade to 10.10 or do i have to go up to the semi-broken 10.0422:06
ZykoticK9Dulak, i'm refering to after maverick is release (an not in it's current devel stage)22:06
wpecker(erUSUL): if I uncheck that it doesn't listen at all?22:06
cyberriderHi can someone help me with mergeing 2 po files?22:06
Gadgetwizardwhat are the new features with 10.1022:06
erUSULwpecker: i expect so; yes22:06
TomTom34erUSUL, http://imagebin.org/11615622:07
DulakZykoticK9: works the same either way, update-manager -d will offer the upgrade either way, and is the 'correct' way to upgrade22:07
dwarderhow do i put "close window" "maximaze window" and o22:07
mattbdtgywa: In the default version of Python in Ubuntu, it would be something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/502310/ to get a number between 1 and 1022:07

ZykoticK9Gadgetwizard, 10.10 discussion isn't actually allowed in this channel (you could as in #ubuntu+1 if you wanted), i was addressing the 10.04 upgrade issue only ;)22:07
glebihandrdeeps: you won't be able to upgrade directly from 9.10 to 10.1022:07
wpecker(erUSUL): then it's not useful because apps can't connect to it22:07
drdeepsDamn.22:07
