[00:03] if you want the x86 version, yes [00:03] I'm having issues with sound on 10.10 beta, how to troubleshoot this? the sound is not continuous (makes stops, noises and repeats) [00:03] !10.10 > misreckoning [00:03] misreckoning, please see my private message [00:03] thanks [00:04] guys, do please help with my erroring Update Manager. http://pastebin.com/vSLPSYJm [00:04] Well, then.... what do i DO to this .rar file?

[00:04] you don't need wubi to install ubuntu [00:04] it just causes problems [00:05] can you give me a download link to the one i can burn on a CD please? [00:05] wubi, sounds like that guy on charlie brown's security blanket :) [00:05] do you want x86 or x86_64? [00:05] Xeno__: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [00:06] but,.... this is the one i downloaded [00:06] This is the one that had the Wubi.exe thing in it [00:07] so you already have a cd? [00:07] question [00:08] yes i have a CD-R [00:08] is there is diffrent between UBUNTU and LINUX MINT ? [00:08] Xeno__: just reboot your computer with the cd in then [00:08] r3delmasry: a little [00:08] can u tell me more please ? [00:09] r3delmasry: mint is not supported here, but it's basically just ubuntu with a different theme and some preinstalled codecs [00:09] thanks blakkheim [00:10] Blak didnt you say Wubi just caused problems? [00:10] i'm using ubuntu 10.10 and whenever i try to watch live streaming, the videos never load and when they rarely do it takes a long long time. anyone know why?

[00:10] thanks. [00:11] Xeno__: get rid of the rar. i am not talking about it. the cd you burnt should have everything on it, you're not supposed to view the files from within windows, you're supposed to BOOT your computer from it [00:11] hi, is it possible to start up a number of applications/terminals and arrange them in a default order upon startup? [00:11] Hey all [00:11] What im trying to tell you is that THAT download is the .rar file === rez is now known as Guest92510 [00:12] anyone know a web cam program that is similar to many cam [00:12] Xeno__: the link i gave you is to download an iso, not a rar [00:12] My Update Manager is erroring. http://pastebin.com/vSLPSYJm Anyone know what's going on?

[00:16] spinningcompass: haha, i probably would have found it funner if i wasnt so new to linux [00:16] x11 is the display service or something? [00:16] spinningcompass: I got it.

(for winxp) [00:23] just have book for learning Ubuntu [00:23] and i read it [00:23] tensorpudding: are just the executables stored in /usr/bin or an entire app [00:24] gilaniali: One of the things about OSX that makes it simpler to understand is that programs are usually bundled in an archive, and self-contained. In Linux this is not the case [00:24] i have good idea [00:24] almoparmeg, okay, well chat in #ubuntu-offtopic , as this is tech support only [00:24] can we talk about it ? [00:24] is there any way to lock a child account's desktop so that she can't accidentally mess it up?

[00:24] gilaniali: In some sense, the binary executable *is* the entire app, in the Windows sense.

[00:55] MFen: https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en#ubuntu [00:55] Woha that's a way better than searching for help throughout internet :) [00:55] MFen: and that didtn work? [00:55] Hey, iBeef. [00:56] http://pastebin.com/ks7Q1ACF Anyone have any idea's? [00:56] i know there is a way to put more than 1 distribution of linux of a machine, how do i do that? [00:56] Oracle Application really told me in installation requirments need to change run level to 4 or 5 [00:56] I see that linux-image.* is in apt's NeverAutoRemove. Is there any easy way to purge old kernels? [00:56] sam555, you're probably going to need a vncserver thats running at bootup, find one and install it and put the command to start it in your rc.local. [00:56] hi [00:56] glithcd: It is very easy if you partition it. I think the alternate install cd will let you select the root directory. [00:56] boxbeatsy: yep, that's exactly what i'm reading right now, and it didn't work, because of that package version [00:56] the necessary libssl version isn't available in any repo i have [00:56] almoparmeg, its already there. [00:56] phil_in_london: is this in addition to Unbuntu rdp? [00:56] so [00:56] Anyone know how to change the hard drive that is mounted on startup. My computer keeps trying to mount a drive that has a different name than the one I want to load [00:57] help me to change runlevel please [00:57] melkor, thats the only way?? i cant have 2 wubi installations?? [00:57] I'm having a problem installing openssh http://pastebin.com/mzgStjxv [00:57] almoparmeg: Did it say why? [00:57] glithcd: I don't use wubi. [00:57] On ubuntu. [00:57] boxbeatsy: do you have 32-bits or 64-bits? [00:57] almoparmeg: If it's asking you something like that, it sounds like there is decent odds that it was not designed with Ubuntu in mind [00:57] glithcd: I was just saying you could probably do it pretty easily with the alternate install cd. [00:57] MFen: meh, really not sure. sorry. 32 bit [00:57] well do u know of another channel where i can get more specialized help? [00:57] yes because i try to install Oracle 11gR2 database and need to change run level before installation [00:57] almoparmeg, this is not red hat [00:57] boxbeatsy: i'm 64, that may be my problem [00:57] i'll try building from source [00:58] sam555, yeah..it runs the same protocol (vnc) but it might allow you to control when it runs. I ran into the same problem with the login screen, found that the vnc is only started up after login, which is where you are now. So I installed a vncserver and put its start command into rc.local to ensure it was running before logon. [00:58] sam555, that was for a client location, not here, so I don't have exact steps for you, but thats the general idea. [00:58] thanks so much phil_in_london ! [00:58] almoparmeg: Are you sure that the instructions you're following were written for Ubuntu? [00:58] boxbeatsy: just for kicks what do you have for dpkg -l libssl0.9.8 ? [00:58] linux_inferno: how long was the array alive before this happened ? and wasn there some sort of power outage ? [00:58] no can be install but should change some values and install some packages only [00:58] I can run mplayer -vo cvidix and it plays movies on my console, but they display badly cause it is on my tv via svideo. But when I run mplayer -vo xvidix in X ( kubuntu-desktop ) , it says "Couldn't find working VIDIX driver." What am I doing ? [00:58] yes [00:58] hi.... anyone know how long a fsck should take on a 1TB drive? [00:58] pmp6nl: Its not clear what you are asking. Are you refering to which driver you computer boots from? [00:58] almoparmeg, so please stop asking to change runlevels [00:58] phil_in_london: it's just been such a pain trying to figure it out! [00:58] linux_inferno: havent' you upgraded anything ? [00:59] ok,thank you [00:59] sam555, when you have it running, you would be able to use a linux client's rdp to connect [00:59] nope oblu, just rebooted. [00:59] phil_in_london: gotcha [00:59] MFen: name: libssl0.9.8 version:0.9.8k-7ubuntu [01:00] boxbeatsy: so, 64-bit tor must need libssl higher than what comes with ubuntu, but 32 bit tor only needs stock package [01:00] melkor: Hello, when my computer boots it says "(hard drive) not ready yet or not present".. this is because the hard drive use to be called 2nd HD and now its called 2ndHD... how do I make it so it mounts 2ndHD by default... thanks! [01:00] anyone have an fsck'n answer to my fsck question? lol... fsck on ext3, 1TB SATA 7200RPM for specs... just wondering if anyone has a ballpark [01:00] linux_inferno: do you have any /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf ? [01:00] phil_in_london: do you have a preference of servers? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers [01:00] sam555, if in your discoveries you're are given a choice of different vnc's, my recommend could be ultravnc, I've used it for years now, its never let me down. [01:00] MFen: yea sounds right [01:01] phil_in_london: cool [01:01] pmp6nl: so it boots okay? === HK_ is now known as HiddenKnowledge [01:01] pmp6nl: is the hard drive you your fstab? [01:01] phil_in_london: is ultravnc faster than tightvnc for any reason? [01:01] shingen: whats your question about fsck? [01:01] phil_in_london: can I use tightvnc as the viewer on the xp machine and ultra as the server on ubuntu? [01:01] ha! which they don't even list on your page :) [01:01] well, building from source should fix it [01:01] estou com problemas no gnome-terminal [01:02] MFen: hopefully, good luck! [01:02] ty :) [01:02] melkor: I have two hard drives. Ubuntu boots ok minus the error.. the hard drive that has issues is a second one. Ill look at fstab.. give me a sec [01:02] Could someone help me with this problem I got after installing ubuntu? http://pastebin.com/mzgStjxv [01:02] boxybeatsy, I don't really know about faster or not, I just know ultra has worked well for me, and I also have seen many people with issues using tightvnc, I've never used it myself. [01:02] I'm trying to get ssh working. [01:02] gotcha [01:02] Targeter: how long fsck will take to run on a drive that doesn't seem to have any problems, I ran fsck to be safe... standard 7200RPM SATA 1TB drive, ext3... not sure on how many files... [01:03] oblu http://paste.pocoo.org/show/272539/ [01:03] how full is it [01:03] ? [01:03] Targeter: 80% or so [01:04] 1TB drives and up typically take a while. i have 2 and they usually take some time [01:04] yea at that full theres probably a lot of files on it [01:04] sam555, take note on that page you gave me, Vino is installed by default, you'll want to remove it in order to use anything else. [01:04] Targeter: so how long is awhile? :) 2 hours, 4 hours? 30 minutes? [01:04] HiddenKnowledge: what's the issue? [01:04] Hey, does anybody know how to make a wireless module load on boot? [01:04] phil_in_london: wow, thanks for that! [01:04] shingen: few minutes [01:04] sam555: http://pastebin.com/mzgStjxv [01:04] PeterD, do you know how to make it run from a command line after boot has occurred? [01:05] shingen, in minutes [01:05] Yes [01:05] melkor: fstab is incorrect, would I just manually edit it? What about the UUID? Would it be the same since its the same HD just a different name [01:05] will totem ever work? [01:05] PeterD, put same commands into your /etc/rc.local [01:05] will it ever actually play anything [01:05] i know for me it takes some time but i have 50gb images that it seems to parse slowly through [01:05] or will ubuntu keep shipping it just to piss people off? [01:05] cuz I did it in gparted, so everything is hidden... now that I see the actual command, I'll probably toss on a -v to see the crap scroll off my screen, lol [01:05] The same commands for making it run through the command line? phil_in_london ? [01:05] lol @ totem. vlc is where its at [01:05] mohadib, what a good question. what are you trying to play, and do you even have the codec [01:05] maybe someone can shed some light on this, using 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu , OpenGL version string: 1.4 , can't seem to get direct rendering going... (yes I have the dri module set in the xorg.conf) [01:06] icarus-c: it has never played anything in all the years it has been shipped [01:06] Targeter, vlc is just mplayer core with a Qt interface [01:06] PeterD, yes, rc.local will process any command (same as if you'd typed in on the command line). The big difference here is that it will do those commands during boot :) [01:06] icarus-c: dvd, avi, mpeg..flv, it wont play anything [01:06] HiddenKnowledge: did you change the ssh config file after installing ssh server? [01:06] glxinfo | grep direct [01:06] direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set) [01:06] shhhhh [01:06] PeterD, you'll need sudo to edit the rc.local. [01:06] icarus-c: not really [01:06] Right [01:06] icarus-c: mplayer and xine will play everything, so i assume the codecs are in place [01:06] HiddenKnowledge: actually are you trying to set up an ssh server, or trying to ssh into something? [01:06] pmp6nl: you can list the drives by uuid in your /dev/disk-by/... then you can fix your fstab either using the name or the uuid. UUID's can change when you format it. [01:06] if I was to cancel an fsck, would it cause any harm to my drive if it was doing something? gparted is hiding all output, so I can't see what's going on... so I'm inclined to stop it and start from cli instead... === Orkibo is now known as Lanh [01:06] whats the best wireless service that works with ubuntu? [01:06] im in my own dream world with vlc ;) [01:06] mohadib, mplayer & xine are of another family than totem. totem uses gstreamer, so you need those gstreamer plugins [01:07] PeterD, alternatively, if you'd like to keep things nice and neat, you could write your own script to bring your wireless up and just call it from rc.local. [01:07] and ffmpeg [01:07] icarus-c: so whats the point of shipping it [01:07] sam555: I didn't change anything. I tried restarting the openssh-server and that produces a similair error. [01:07] if it never works out of the box === Lanh is now known as Vietnam === Vietnam is now known as Lanh [01:07] Script writing, one thing I've never done. [01:07] HiddenKnowledge: what version of ubuntu? [01:07] /join #linux-mint [01:07] pmp6nl: you can edit it, make a backup its pretty straight forward [01:07] hm... [01:07] icarus-c: i dont get why gnome/ubuntu doesnt include a working player or the codics [01:07] There aren't many commands though. What would I have to do? [01:07] HiddenKnowledge: the reason I ask, is all I did was install the ssh server, and it worked [01:07] mohadib, totem is fine as long as you have the codec. [01:07] The less crude the better, I think. [01:07] HiddenKnowledge: i restarted the machine and got in [01:07] melkor: ok thanks. I had switched it from ntfs to ext4 so ill find the UUID... thanks! [01:07] sam555: I know it works fine for me too, noramlly. [01:08] normally* [01:08] gotcha [01:08] pmp6nl: blkid /dev/blah would be easier to find the UUID [01:08] i think beyond this point, I can't help, but definetly ask around here about that error [01:08] PeterD, its very simple use gedit to make em, enter each of your commands on a line by itself. Save the file. Then locate the file in its folder and chmod a+x myfile that will allow it to be executed. [01:08] icarus-c: well, :D my car works fine when it has an engine [01:08] i think beyond this point, I can't help, but definetly ask around here about that error, HiddenKnowledge [01:08] oddly enough it shipped with one [01:08] Save as .sh? [01:08] sam555: Thanks anyway. [01:09] PeterD, some people like to do that yes, so they can keep track of them. [01:09] HiddenKnowledge: sorry [01:09] sam555: No problem. :) [01:09] PeterD, what I do is create the script, chmod it and then run it on the command line...if everything works fine then I edit rc.local to call that script :) [01:09] So anyone else that would happen to know what's causing this? [01:09] mohadib, support question? [01:09] ? [01:10] maybe someone can shed some light on this, using 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu , OpenGL version string: 1.4 , can't seem to get direct rendering going... (yes I have the dri module set in the xorg.conf) [01:10] bazhang: yes [01:10] what's the problem if you tell me how to change Runlevels ? [01:10] mohadib, it does ship with some codecs by default, but free ones only [01:10] hey, will the next version of ubuntu come with libreoffice? [01:10] !runlevels | almoparmeg please read carefully [01:10] almoparmeg please read carefully: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [01:10] I recently took on a kernel update on my laptop (gateway MA3) and now on boot it says "Target filesystem doesnt have /sbin/init." and it dumps me to BusyBox, can I please get some help? [01:11] Is there some kind of trick to setting up postgres? Everytime I install and start my logs give me "incomplete startup packet" and a "psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory" [01:11] injekt, you probably should try #postgres [01:11] really in know but my application told my my current runlevel is 2 and need to change it to 4 or 5 [01:11] One more question phil_in_london, I'm on Xubuntu and I don't see an rc.local [01:11] what i can do now ? [01:11] hi, I've cron.1234 files appearing in my home folder.. is there a setting to disable this? [01:11] ubuntuu rox [01:11] PeterD, not in /etc ? [01:11] almoparmeg, about what [01:11] No [01:11] Pentium3, did you change hard disk configuration / kernel parameters lately? [01:12] hmm, so what is Xubuntu then? whats its derivation? [01:12] about change my current level from 2 to 4 or 5 to be able install my appliaction [01:12] It uses XFCE for the window manager [01:12] phil_in_london, Xfce/Ubuntu [01:12] Lighterweight [01:12] ah, makes sense [01:12] almoparmeg, you should have read the statement above carefully. [01:13] icarus-c: no. [01:13] PeterD, got a search feature on this Xbuntu, a file search feature? [01:13] phil_in_london: locate or find [01:13] It's crude [01:13] i have read it and really know no different between runlevel 2 or 3 or 5 [01:13] Limited to the directory thunar is in [01:13] i know really [01:13] hell, where can i see the difference between generic and server kernels? [01:13] almoparmeg, but you still ask that [01:13] but my appliaction need to change it [01:13] hello* [01:13] almoparmeg, so stop asking for it. [01:14] i can't install it without change current 2 to 4 [01:14] almoparmeg, what app is it [01:14] PeterD, dunno, maybe you have an rc.local located somewhere else, maybe you have a local file in the rc.d folder, I'm really unsure. [01:14] almoparmeg: init 4 [01:14] oracle11gr2 database [01:14] Help :-( The update manager started throwing this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/508347/ [01:14] i do it [01:14] I'll do some searching [01:14] almoparmeg, sure you can. that's for red hat. oracle is geared towards red hat [01:14] and make restart but still 2 [01:14] Thanks for the help phil_in_london [01:14] almoparmeg: you can set the deault runlevel [01:14] PeteD [01:14] ok thank you [01:14] almoparmeg, then probably their install facility is broken [01:14] how ? [01:15] PeterD, does your Xubuntu have Startup Applications in your System Admin? [01:15] in /etc/initrc [01:15] Yes [01:15] iirc [01:15] almoparmeg, at least for ubuntu [01:15] Ahhh [01:15] PeterD, then you could just create the script anywhere and add it to that :) [01:15] I think I remember [01:15] Yes [01:15] but i like ubuntu [01:15] How is it possible I can't update my system with openssh-server intalled? :/ [01:15] PeterD, don't forget the chmod a+x myscript.sh part. [01:15] and wish to use it for ever [01:15] I wrote that bit down [01:16] no redhat or other [01:16] almoparmeg: according to the internet, oracle 11g doesn't support ubuntu, so if you want to make it easy use a platform that oracle supports, or use a database that supports Ubuntu [01:16] so, what's the solution now [01:16] There's nothing special with writing the script is there? [01:16] yes yes [01:16] hello, where i can see the difference between the generic and server kernels? [01:16] PeterD, nope, if it works on a command line you can put it in a script. [01:16] you are right [01:16] just command next comment etc. [01:16] almoparmeg: try telinit q 4 [01:16] K [01:16] how does one disable vino? [01:16] PeterD, just don't use a windows editor for it. [01:17] icarus-c: hello? [01:17] PeterD, it will work, but it will barf up carriage returns as errors :) [01:17] Lol [01:18] sam555, got synaptic on your system? [01:18] i have try it [01:18] Pentium3, yes? [01:18] PeterD: If you would put it all on one line it wold work right? :P [01:18] phil_in_london: yes [01:18] if I changed fstab to check volumes on boot would it check every time or every 32nd time or whatever? cuz I just ran fsck from cli and noticed that one of my partitions was mounted 48 times and never fscked [01:18] and write runlevel in terminal told me this result N 2 [01:18] Har [01:19] phil_in_london: however, I'm ssh'ing into the system as we speak, so is there a terminal command, or should I just stop the service [01:19] sam555, fire it up, uninstall it, if you want it back, hmm...lets...see...oh yeah, synaptic, fire it up, install it. [01:19] i think it's still use 2 [01:19] boxbeatsy: well, tor built and installed. now i just need to do the same thing to vidalia... [01:19] not 4 [01:19] ah [01:19] phil_in_london: HA [01:19] almoparmeg, it does. [01:19] icarus-c: I havent changed anything. [01:19] Ah phil_in_london do I need to i?nclude sudo ? Or chmod a+x takes care of that [01:19] sam555, you can do the apt stuff. [01:19] PeterD, you'll only have to do sudo if you are creating it in a folder that you don't have edit rights to. [01:19] phil_in_london: yet so is the an apt-get uninstall? [01:19] N 2 meaning runlevel 2 or 4 ? [01:19] PeterD: If you get a access denied you will need sudo :P [01:19] i mean the current [01:19] hi [01:20] K [01:20] targeter: if I changed fstab to check volumes on boot would it check every time or every 32nd time or whatever? cuz I just ran fsck from cli and noticed that one of my partitions was mounted 48 times and never fscked [01:20] almoparmeg: did you use `sudo`? but as he said if teh package does not support ubuntu, your out of luck/ [01:20] shingen, it would check every boot and do a force check after maximum mount count [01:20] yup what he said [01:20] icarus-c: sounds like what I need :) [01:20] shingen, force check would take some time, and other is quick [01:21] phil_in_london: got it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6001309 [01:21] sam555 apt-get remove [01:21] HA! [01:22] phil_in_london: would it be possible to just stop the vino service, install another vncserver to test before removing vino? [01:22] where can i see the difference between generic/server/virtual kernels? [01:23] olskolirc: on a server with low latency requirements [01:23] phil_in_london, how do I test the script? [01:23] sam555, I think it ties in with inet, I'm not sure of how to just rip it out of there and leave it. I have really studied the intracacies of 2.6 yet. But if you aren't using it at moment, its just as easy to apt-get install vino after your test. [01:23] maybe someone can shed some light on this, using 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu , OpenGL version string: 1.4 , can't seem to get direct rendering going... (yes I have the dri module set in the xorg.conf) [01:23] what theorem ? [01:23] Acidphase, maverick? [01:24] PeterD, reboot your computer, and then run your script and see if wireless comes back up (or whatever it was supposed to do) [01:24] PeterD: Would you happen to know how to fix http://pastebin.com/8gMhQTMR ? [01:24] Oops. [01:24] PeterD, to run your script, just go to its folder and type ./myscript.sh [01:24] Tab completion.. [01:24] hi im trying to install java 6 jre [01:24] phil_in_london: that's true, thanks! you are so helpful! [01:24] phil_in_london: Would you happen to know how to fix http://pastebin.com/8gMhQTMR ? [01:24] bazhang yes, but seen people with the same problems in 10.04 [01:24] CJO, enable the partner repo [01:24] Right, I forget the most obvious things [01:25] seriously, i'm just sitting here listening to you, and learning so much phil_in_london [01:25] !partner | CJO [01:25] CJO: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications.

[01:29] HiddenKnowledge, quoting only one of your posted lines : Get:1 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security/main libssl-dev i386 0.9.8o-1ubuntu4.1 [2,012kB] [01:29] what's the $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [01:29] Lol phil_in_london [01:29] Hello, I rm -r /var/cache when disk is full(now I know it's wrong). when apt-get dist-upgrade, I can't update or remove "rhythmbox", is there anyway to fix this? 8.04 LTS [01:29] The only big mistake I've ever made was deleting my xorg [01:30] I needed a change of pants after that [01:30] PeterD, I did that, and it was only about 2 months ago. I'm okay now, I gave up the vodka. [01:30] Lol [01:30] phil_in_london: Uh.. 0_0 I'm running ubuntu. [01:30] ok back [01:30] HiddenKnowledge, yes you are, but from your post it looks like you perhaps upgraded to version 10.10 [01:31] I think thats the #ubuntu+1 channel [01:31] Whenever I run the script through the command line I get a "No such file or directory" Still works like a charm though. Should I be concerned? [01:31] O. [01:31] Ahh [01:31] I just want a simple ubuntu install. [01:31] PeterD, got any extra lines in there? blank line, maybe an extra enter? [01:31] Yes [01:31] I didn't realize I didn't have to cd [01:31] 10.10 is still beta? [01:31] PeterD, thats kinda the same thing I was saying about carriage returns. [01:32] HiddenKnowledge: beta is always not simple [01:32] I didn't want beta, lol. [01:32] shingen: until 10th obtober [01:32] There we go [01:32] Thanks phil_in_london :D [01:32] How do I downgrade? [01:32] well technically 10.10 is RC [01:32] HiddenKnowledge: you cant [01:32] So much simpler than all the other BS broadcom wanted me to do [01:32] HiddenKnowledge, I don= [01:32] HiddenKnowledge: it comes out on the 10th anyways as stable [01:33] I don't know how you downgrade. [01:33] :/ [01:33] I see. [01:33] I know that 10.04 comes with ssl installed, so if 10.10 don't have ssl stock yet, then its not ready. [01:33] seriously, does anyone know how to get regular tty consoles back? my res is like 20x12 characters and unusable [01:33] how can you guys stand gnome/ubuntu when kubuntu rocks and is more powerful and customizable === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:33] Thanks, phil_in_london. [01:33] I added the repo via sudo add-apt-repository “deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner and it said I need an argument [01:33] I recently took on a kernel update on my laptop (gateway MA3) and now on boot it says "Target filesystem doesnt have /sbin/init." and it dumps me to BusyBox, can I please get some help? [01:33] 10.10 doesn't have openssl libs? wow... lol [01:33] olskolirc, offtopic here [01:33] HiddenKnowledge, is this a new install? [01:34] Help please, I have an Update manager error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/508347/ :-( [01:34] phil_in_london: Yes, used unetbootin. [01:34] phil_in_london: Which failed kindoff. [01:34] HiddenKnowledge, why not just start over, install 10.04 but don't do the apt-get upgrade. [01:34] Hi friends. [01:34] you'll have ssl all ready to use if you do that. [01:34] CJO: it doesn't work. add it on a new line after running"sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" [01:34] I'll just wait a couple of days. [01:34] I don't know what unetbootin is. [01:35] My rectum is soooo rotten... [01:35] phil_in_london: It's a tool you can use to install linux without a dvd/cd. [01:35] KKKLined, you should stop using windows [01:35] phil_in_london: Even from windows. [01:35] Hello. My MSN account isn't working on Pidgin, and I also can't sign into my Hotmail (same address) from www.msn.com. Is this a problem on their end, or mine? Pidgin gives me the message "Unable to authenticate: Authentication Failure" [01:35] Snakkeh: time to change your password [01:35] HiddenKnowledge, and it apparently works great too ;) [01:35] Snakkah, well if it's happening in two different places, it's likely not pidgin... i'd say its your password [01:36] Snakkeh: or to recover it [01:36] phil_in_london: If you aren't a noob, lol. It's not my pc. [01:36] sandyd, account hacked? [01:36] hi I tried finding a solution to my question last night and got a few ideas but came to a dead-end, trying to try ubuntu on my satellite M35X [01:36] HiddenKnowledge, do the cd, it works. [01:36] Snakkeh: could bew [01:36] I gotta go set some sh!t on fire [01:36] Snakkeh: it has recovery questions still. use them [01:36] hi [01:36] phil_in_london: the unetbootin works too :P I used it on my laptop. [01:37] !language > phil_in_london [01:37] phil_in_london, please see my private message [01:37] phil_in_london: But gtg, c ya.

[01:37] shingen: Yup. :) [01:37] how could I have yahoo messanger in ubuntu ???? [01:37] Snakkah, i heard that millions of msn accounts were screwed by a security update from Microsoft [01:38] shadi: doesnt pidgin support yahoo? [01:38] what's the magic sequence to save my gnome desktop so it persists between boots? [01:38] icarus-c, when? O_o [01:38] Snakkah, a few weeks ago? [01:38] icarus-c, this just happened today [01:38] Time to test it out for reals [01:38] ya it does but it the first time to use it [01:38] Snakkah, well maybe it come late for you, or just temporarily out of service [01:39] shadi: you cant run it in linux [01:39] anyone, suggestions for getting my toshiba to start ubuntu so I can try it from the CD I made [01:39] shadi: you can probably run it in WINE, lemme check [01:39] shadi: but its still way better to use pidgin [01:39] shadi, yahoo doesn't release a linux version of their client. but there are many free and open source clients for linux, such as pidgin, empathy, kopete [01:40] shadi, use pidgen [01:40] Help! Updates are failing. http://paste.ubuntu.com/508347/ [01:40] I wanna change my primary partition to another, how can I do that? [01:40] is it possible to partition a hard drive without a reformat [01:41] yahoo messenger can definitely be run in wine, no special dlls needed... it's not bloatware like office :) [01:41] I scrolled down all the way in the text file in the edior and the list shows starting with deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner [01:41] Meg: parted [01:41] shingen: only v8 [01:41] i'm using pidgen but it runs slowly [01:41] shingen: v9 is garbage [01:41] PeterD: Did it work? :) [01:41] Yessss [01:41] phil_in_london: See, his pc is not on fire. [01:41] :P [01:41] shadi, NOTHING runs faster with wine [01:41] shingen: you enabled visual effects? [01:42] No, but my house is, HiddenKnowledge [01:42] :O [01:42] 0_0 [01:42] Hahahaha [01:42] rambo2_981: Yes it does. [01:42] "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ is all I need to ad [01:42] sandyd: heck no... :) [01:42] *add [01:42] wine is a dog [01:42] Many thanks phil_in_london :) [01:42] My system is booting /dev/sda3, but I wanna copy all files from /dev/sda3 to /dev/sda4 and boot from /dev/sda4 [01:42] rambo2_981: It's not a dog. [01:42] network apps don't work right (not all) [01:42] is it possible? [01:42] yeah it is [01:42] i refuse to use it [01:43] shingen: gyachie? [01:43] rambo2_981: Well, idk if you refuse but it's still not a dog. [01:43] shingen: try that [01:43] Even Hotmail in Evolution is showing the account isn't active. [01:43] wine has overhead, but it's definitely not a dog.... [01:43] Does this mean it's most likely a problem on Microsoft's end? [01:43] I hope so. [01:43] you wanna tell me how wine can sim an app and make it run faster than windows? no way [01:43] rambo2_981: Wine is not a emulator. [01:43] dude it sims the windows i/f [01:44] say what you want about microsoft, but they do know what they're doing [01:44] rambo2_981: It can run programs faster than windows because it doesn't have some bus windows has. [01:44] shingen: instructions are here -> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-gyachi-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic.html [01:44] bugs* [01:44] btw i use ubuntu on every machine i have; but, i have to say (wine is a dog ... i won't change my mind on that) open office doesn't hold a candle to ms office [01:44] sandyd: sorry, I went off on a tangent... not loking for yahoo clients :) [01:45] rambo2_981: What's your support question again? [01:45] if you want to run a microsoft app, run it under windows [01:45] Hmm, thats dissappointing.

[01:45] what's the sequence to save my gnome desktop so it persists between boots [01:45] How can I copy my system to a new partition and boot from there? [01:45] are there any html validators for linux? eg, something i can run from the commandline or a gui, and not a mozilla plugin? i want to validate local html files and firefox plugins require an external ip [01:47] what does this mean: ./ (dot followed by slash) [01:47] rambo2_981, you mean keep the same applications open, and roughly in the same spot they were? [01:47] does it run command after? [01:47] mehwork: html tidy is what you're looking for... there's a bunch of different versions on tidy.sourceforge.net, depending what language you want [01:47] phil_in_london, yep [01:47] i added deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner but it still wants some java font , sun-java6-bin, and ia32-sun-java6-bin [01:48] AdrienBrody: you could try to image your OS and then put it on your other partition [01:48] that's gay as hell that pisses me off [01:48] :) [01:48] gilaniali: it runs the file rellative to your current location [01:48] rambo2_981, Menu, System, Preferences, Startup Applications, Options tab. [01:48] phil_in_london, ty [01:48] gilaniali: for example, if there was a file called "abc" in the folder your in, "./abc" would run it [01:48] rambo2_981, its not perfect, but its as close as you'll get. Some applications don't play by the rules. [01:48] lol, I've been in this channel for 1 hour and my fsck is still running... *sigh* [01:49] only on pass 1 still.... [01:49] sandyd: so instead of doing python abc.py, i can do ./abc.py [01:49] phil_in_london, as long as it's close that's fine; thanks [01:49] gilaniali: its only for programs in C/++ [01:49] gilaniali: python is not included [01:49] Any assistance with Wine available? [01:49] rambo2_981, it will remember which workspace you placed them on as well. [01:50] Alright. I'm pretty sure it's a problem on Microsoft's end. I click the "Sign in" button on msn.com and it directs me to a page that says their network is unavailable. [01:50] sandyd: seems to work for bash files [01:50] So would it be a safe bet to assume my account wasn't hacked? [01:50] gilaniali, put this in the py file as the first line: [01:50] #!/usr/bin/python [01:50] gilaniali: thats because a bash file has commands for a group of programs [01:51] phil_in_london, i haven't really used multiple workspaces, but that's good to know [01:51] shingen: doesnt html tidy still require me to give it my external host name? [01:51] rambo2_981, handy for those applications that are useless unless they are full screen. [01:51] What is the string to login to a different computer in terminal?

[01:56] mamece2 / coz_ I would not [01:56] AshyIsMe, Menu, System, Adminstration, Synaptic...type in vim in the searchbox, select vim, apply. [01:56] coz_: it could also be a kernel issue have you tried using different kernels? [01:56] phil_in_london, it's version 7.2 [01:56] i want 7.3 [01:56] melkor, well I have read a few bug reports about this but this is the default kernel [01:56] shingen, emacs knows html [01:56] i want "set relativenumber" feature which is only available in 7.3 [01:56] if you want the latest of things, then its time for you do learn to build.

[01:59] coz_ / mamece2: it may be a support question, then one would want to perform a "question" against the package versus a bug. [02:00] ..

[02:10] phil_, yup [02:11] phil_, such as a .png w some transparency [02:11] hi! [02:12] Zelozelos: I see; that SHOULD be possible considering everything in a gui has some picture file associated with it [02:13] sanity check question... fsck is compared against last fsck to compare that everything is sane right? so a forced fsck would the same as running fsck for the very first time? [02:13] Zelozelos: like when you drag a picture to the menu bar, and change THAT background [02:13] Zelozelos, the only way I can think of possibly doing this with an image on the menu backgrounds themselves would be to edit one of the themes gtkrc files [02:13] Does anyone know if Ubuntu has a program that can be run from commandline that behaves like empathy?

I'll try that [02:15] Where can I find the plugins? [02:15] Steven: I have never used it myself, but i hear it is similar to what you are looking for [02:15] I'll try both methods and see which I like better. Thanks. [02:16] ciao ci sono italiani?? [02:16] in regard to bash scripts, why is it that commands like 'aptitude upgrade' dont need to have an echo statement put in front of them to execute [02:16] StevenSS: looks like a good irssi script is called bitlbee [02:16] StevenSS, this one looks cool http://linuxappfinder.com/package/centericq [02:16] I'm trying to add a static IP to my primary network which is running DHCP.

[02:19] SeanInSeattle: virtual private server eh? hmmm... maybe not, but it's a good place to start :) [02:19] Harpers: an alternative install takes less, though === HK|away is now known as HiddenKnowledge [02:19] Harpers: it depends on what you have installed [02:20] well, the default desktop and firefox, with nothing more [02:20] you know what, I'll just try it in a VM [02:20] thanks for the help [02:21] why isn't eth0 listed in /etc/network/interfaces?

[02:27] IsmAvatar: maybe run apt-get clean, and re d/l the package [02:27] phil_: I first ran the GUI from System -> Preferences -> Network connections. There I see "Auto eth0" and I added one named "localnet" [02:27] can someone help me with my problem? [02:27] shingen: it only seems to list my loopback. That's why I'm confused. Where is my eth0? ifconfig lists eth0 and lo [02:28] somebody turn on this card wna3100? [02:28] ChogyDan: I've done an apt-get clean, buti didn't help. As for red/l the package, I don't know which to redownload. It's just the Update Manager. [02:28] Holy_John: it's auto, meaning pulling everything via dhcp and letting your network manager do everything else [02:28] karan !ask [02:28] IsmAvatar: can you pastebin the output and commmands when you try clean and then reinstall? [02:29] im tirdda this robot making a fool outta me lol [02:29] !ask karan [02:29] ChogyDan: clean outputs nothing. Again, I don't know what to 'reinstall'. I'm just running the Update Manager, which is basically like called apt-get upgrade [02:29] shingen: but what is making it auto? I would just like to have an eth0:1 (?) for a static IP. I want DHCP and static IP on the same network card. [02:30] Karan: I am having trouble with my scanner as well... what have you done that HASN'T worked so far? [02:30] IsmAvatar: can you pastebin the output of apt-get upgrade? [02:30] let see if I get any luck in here [02:30] Hi people [02:31] Do Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 support GUID partition tables? [02:31] Holy_John: if you have a default install of ubuntu, you should be able to right click on your network icon and make changes to your network interfaces, like assigning static IPs, netmask, gateway... [02:31] I am trying to find some tool that let me know when file is created or updated in a directory, if there is some manipulation on subdirectory I must know it. I read about incron but does not work for subdirectory [02:31] any help? [02:32] i was able to get the driver software workin under wine [02:32] webBuilder: ive seen mention of some tools like that in the Package manager. but never used them. 'fam' 'famd' i recall also. but those mey have been replaced by somthing newer these days. [02:32] IsmAvatar: oh, it looks like you just need to rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.32-25-generic-pae.list [02:32] Karan: I wasn't able to get my drivers working under wine (i have an Epson Stylus NX400) [02:32] but it says i need to go under device manger and refresh hardware devices....which i cnt since this is linux [02:33] Dr_Willis, how can I can search something like that on Google [02:33] Karan: Oh, I see [02:33] Dr_Willis, thank you for the help [02:33] n i found no help on the ubuntu forums :d [02:33] webBuilder: the package manager tools have search features [02:33] Karan: well, is it a Scanner, or an all in one like Printer/Scanner/etc? [02:33] ok, so ive got the polkitd memory growing to infinity issue, how does one go about identifying the file/directory its stuck on? [02:33] ChogyDan: trying that [02:34] webBuilder: or you could just google for 'ubuntu file monitor' [02:34] Yo [02:34] Dr_Willis, thank you so much [02:34] http://www.sane-project.org/unsupported/microtek-scanmaker-5950.html [02:34] there is all my info [02:35] shingen: rightclicking seems to bring up the same dialog as I found under "System". On the Wired tab I have added a new connection named "localnet". The name isn't magic, is it? [02:35] Dr_Willis, indeed you were right I just got something called fam, I'll read more and do my decision. THANK YOU === 92AABBGOA is now known as olskolirc [02:35] Karan: well if it is unsupported by the Scanner project, I don't really know what to tell you. I'm sorry :/ [02:35] I have updated ubuntu 10.10 and now I can't boot. Grub says something like 'file not found'. has anybody run into this and is there a fix? [02:35] Karan: You may be out of luck... do you know of anyone else with this scanner? [02:35] karan: if you managed to get it working under wine and all you need to do is refresh hardware devices, simulate a reboot in wine... can't recall if you can in wine, I've been using crossoffice since they offered version 7 for free two years ago [02:35] how do I restart my network? I did a /etc/init.d/networking restart, but that didn't help... [02:35] cuz if i dualboot with windows phil....well i only got 60gb hdd [02:35] n i dont want to waste space [02:35] vibestriton: you could use a live cd, and reinstall grub. Theres been some issues with grub in 10.10 in the last few weeks on and off. [02:36] Where does Ubuntu keep its menu.lst for grub? It doesn't exist anywhere. [02:36] Karan: I only have 20gb hdd ;) i'm in the same boat... [02:36] borca: Grub2 dosent use a menu.lst [02:36] borca, grub2? [02:36] !grub2 | borca [02:36] borca: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [02:36] ChogyDan: you're a life-saver. That seems to have done the trick. Thanks so much. [02:36] karan: You may want to consider virtualizing with VirtualBox [02:36] so how would i do a reboot in wine to refresh :S [02:36] Karan: my printing works but scanning doesn't. If you find something, tell me :) [02:36] IsmAvatar: yw [02:37] karan: As well as using the newest WINE 1.3.4 [02:37] exit [02:37] q [02:37] karan: sorry, can't remember if you can... been using crossoffice plugin too long :( [02:38] karan: you definitely could in crossoffice plugin though... [02:38] Dr_Willis: Thanks. I installed Ubuntu using wubi. Can I still use that method to reinstall grub? (Not sure how that works.) [02:38] Dr_Willis, thanks.. this seems to be way more complicated though :/ [02:38] vibestriton: i dont use wubi at all.. i dont recoomend using wubi.. so cant help with it. [02:38] borca: grub2 has numerous improvements over grub1. thats just how things are. [02:39] Dr_Willis: Okay. Thanks for the info. [02:39] Vibestrition: could i reccomend just getting Burg (a new graphical grub) [02:39] phil_: does that work with WUbi? [02:39] Ubuntu seems to not get along at all with nforce, it keeps giving me nforce2 errors, is there a fix for this? [02:39] ok, so ive got the polkitd memory growing to infinity issue, how does one go about identifying the file/directory its stuck on? or is there another solution? [02:40] Dr_Willis: Well isn't Wubi just a graphical installer for Ubuntu on windows? [02:40] is there a way i cant dualboot windows in like a 4gb partition? [02:40] i have the wireless driver installed but wireless wont activate on ubuntu 10.04 64 bit [02:40] Karan: usually installing windows is tedious [02:41] phil_: wubi insdtalls to a file on windows. and modifies the windows boot menus. so i would say no its not 'just' an intstaller. [02:41] glitchd, then use the 32 bit version [02:41] Karan: From linux, you have to go through a long process; windows XP takes a minimum of 4gb on all my computers [02:41] karan: windows will more than likely need more than 4G itself [02:41] I have a server running 10.04, but i guess i need to install some missing language packages. Everytime i install something, i get this: http://gist.github.com/616226, how would i go about installing the missing packages? [02:42] i wanted to switch to 64 bit cuz my laptop has 8 gigs of ram and only 64 bit has support for more than 4 gigs [02:42] 6gb? [02:42] Dr_Willis: Okay, I'm quite sorry; i was mistaken, having not clearly understood what you mean [02:42] glitchd: HIGHMEM64 [02:42] see i only got 60gb hdd [02:42] Karan: Yes, for Windows XP it should be perfect [02:42] glitchd: you need to reinstall and install the 64bit OS. you dont upgrade from a 32bit install to a 64bit one. [02:42] mingdao___, what is HIGHMEM64? [02:42] Karan: However, you would have to partition then reinstall grub after installing XP [02:43] Dr_Willis That would be cool if one could do taht. [02:43] glitchd: the PAE kernels can let you access more ram. [02:43] taht = that [02:43] glitchd: CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y and check out PAE [02:43] dr willis, that would work on 32 bit? [02:43] glitchd: run "make menuconfig" and read CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G [02:43] mingdao___, where can i do that at? [02:44] PAE is a dog, only programs written to access PAE memory spaces can use it... and causes glitches on graphics cards [02:44] glitchd: thats the point of PAE.. I dont use it. and the benchmarks i see. say use 64bit if you can. [02:44] Karan: If all you want is a base install and the scanner software, 6gb is plenty for windows [02:44] Hello, I have a Windows 7 x64 install on a RAID 0 volume from an onboard RAID controller. I think it falls into the fakeraid category. I want to dual boot ubuntu 10.04 on this same volume. I ran through the install and it didn't detect the volume. I have seen tons of threads on this topic without a common solution. Would someone point me in the right direction to get an "official"... [02:44] ...solution for this please? [02:44] hey peeps how do i disable my netbook onboard wifi and enable my new usb one === zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy [02:45] gabeh: alternate install CD has fakeraid drivers... it's a text based install [02:45] the onboard keeps connecting and i cant do the function key disable thing [02:45] !windows | gabeh [02:45] gabeh: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [02:45] so is there like something like wubi but for windows instead? [02:45] shingen: where do I get the alternate install CD? [02:45] My hosts file isn't properly directing my apache powered Rails sites in my local 10.04 ubuntu [02:45] karan: run a virtual machine, share USB to it... virtualbox works great for that [02:46] * RedSingularity is away: Away at the moment, be back soon. [02:46] what u mean usb [02:46] Does anyone have experience with hosts file and apache2? [02:46] Karan: unfortunately, there is no windows installer for linux... windows is closed :) [02:46] karan: your scanner isn't USB? [02:46] oo yeah it is [02:46] okay ill try tht this sat [02:46] gabeh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [02:46] win 7 would been better though :D [02:47] wat is the minum for windows 7 plus just software for my scanner? [02:47] gabeh: sorry, no link there :) [02:47] Karan: Windows 7 takes at least 6-8 gb of hdd space ;) i beta tested it lol [02:47] karan: is your scanner usb? [02:47] yes [02:47] shingen: anything else I should be aware of? I've seen people in the same threads talk about issues with grub and I'm way noob. [02:47] karan: windows 7 is a hog... [02:47] yes [02:47] karan: I think you can run windows inside virtualbox, and use the windows usb drivers to run stuff [02:48] gabeh, you could also go to the #grub channle and speak them [02:48] karan: you have to use the closed source version of virtualbox [02:48] ive dualbooted win 7 and ubuntu b4 [02:48] gabeh: Your better off virtualizing Ubuntu within Windows or vice versa, then trying to get cute with RAID setups. [02:48] its just tht space issue [02:48] imma buy a larger hdd when the time is right [02:48] I want to do an alias in terminal that will resize the current window. [ie alias big='someterminalcmdtoresizecurrentwindow']. Can this be done? [02:49] Karan: That is definitely a good idea; finding a cheap hdd is easy to do ;) [02:49] ChrisBuchholz: I think you just have to install one of the language-packs [02:49] karan, what size is your hard driver now? [02:49] gabeh: I've used the alternate cd before and had no issues with grub circa ubuntu 8.04... I can't imagine it being worse? but who knows... [02:49] coz: 60gb [02:49] 60gb [02:49] ChogyDan: yeah, i figured - i just didnt know how to do it. I found a script in /usr/share/locales i could use [02:49] karan, way more than enough... I have ubuntu installed onto a 36 gig scsi drive with no issues [02:49] karan: start burning or deleting some stuff off... 60GB is too small to live on :) [02:49] alright ill try it on the weekend [02:50] karan, although I also store extra things like videos on external media [02:50] for now [02:50] karan, that is plenty of room [02:50] shingen: i live off of 20gb xD I'm saving up for a better comp though... [02:50] ... [02:50] #quit [02:50] imma get sleep [02:51] thnk u guys [02:51] night :D [02:51] Night ;D [02:51] phil_: my file server has a 3G used on a 8GB root partition.... sure ubuntu installs are small, but it's rough to have small hdds :) [02:52] shingen: oh wow! I couldn't imagine having less space than this... i have a 16gb flash drive and a 20 gb hard drive haha === kai_62656 is now known as kracker[BDC] [02:54] phil_: well, I mentioned it's my file server... I didn't say what the other drive sizes were :) lol.... /home is 30GB, 450MB used... but I have lots of other hdds hanging off it... about 5TB worth :) [02:55] Shingen: Woah, man, I want to BE you! The computer i'm looking at has 8gb RAM, 640gb hdd, 256mb ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics, [02:55] Shingen: ... and vista xD Which is why it's dirt cheap [02:55] Shingen: But while no one else wants it... i see a use for it ;) [02:55] Anyone know how i can put a swap file on my flash drive without overwriting it? [02:56] phil_: linux can use a s2wap FILE. or a swap partition, or both.. or several of each.. [02:56] im having a hard time using the usb disk creator on all the iso's im using it boots to a prompt that reads:boot: can i get a link please? [02:56] phil_: sounds like a project :) gogogo [02:56] How can I fix my updates?

[02:58] bazhang, oh, ok thanks [03:00] shingen: i've heard that, but i'm willing to take the risk. It's an inexpensive system, and I can always dual boot windows (cringes, i haven't had windows in months on my machine...) for games [03:02] Does anyone know how to "reset" packages so that you can run dpkg --configure -a without getting parse errors? [03:02] does svn update auto remove files that where deleted via ftp? [03:02] Greetings and a (hopefully) quick question. I am running Windows 7 and I am looking to install Ubuntu in someway. Idealy, I would be able to virtualize it inside W7. However, I want the option of booting into Ubuntu stand alone as well. Is this possible? [03:03] hrmm, wubi work with 7? [03:04] Sanctusorium: There is the option of "Wubi" a windows Ubuntu Installer [03:04] Wubi? Is that the thing that installs Ubuntu into W7? It installs fine, I've done it before... But is there anyway to then virtualize Ubuntu when w7 is up? [03:04] Sanctusorium: i would suggest u virtualize it than booting it. i have had hard times booting w7 and ubuntu at the same time. [03:04] Sanctusorium: I don't believe so [03:04] i boot win7 and ubuntu, it's not that hard... [03:05] in fact, it's down right easy. [03:05] you can create a bootable ubuntu partition, then access it through VirtualBox using a .vdmk image [03:05] :O nice [03:05] THATS what I want! :D [03:05] theabyssdragon: how would I do that? [03:06] hello evryone [03:06] theabyssdragon: i'm sorry, but i've also been looking for that answer for a long time :) [03:06] phil_: kind of much to ask of one person, start googling. [03:06] kk [03:06] Need a little help with my hosts file...anyone? [03:06] sunny1: ask the real question [03:06] googling "virtualbox native partition" gives some good results [03:07] My hosts file isn't properly directing my apache powered Rails sites in my local 10.04 ubuntu [03:07] Theabyssdragon: thank you :D [03:07] theabyssdragon: Awesome, thank you! [03:07] i'm running 10.10rc on vbox, its asking for username n password, all of my efforts are failed, what should i give there [03:07] sunny1: pastebin your hosts file, perhaps that will lend some clues, any error messages are welcome too. [03:08] trans123, #ubuntu+1 for that [03:08] I was kinda looking to do the same thing with OSX, but then I learned Apple is all RAWR and doesn't allow virtualization ;( [03:08] .. I like Linux more anyway [03:09] * Sanctusorium stick toung out at Apple. [03:09] Sanctusorium: I learned that the hard way a few years back ;) in all honesty, you could run the "Macbuntu" install package from sourceforge [03:09] Sanctusorium: however, My friends and i got tired of the mac interface after a couple of days xD [03:09] trans123, reboot, when it hits grub, edit the kernel line, add single to the end, that will drop ya to a root prompt with no passwd , then ya can set passwds and users [03:10] msg nickserv identify thoreau [03:10] ohh, bummer dood [03:10] u mean the word "single" [03:10] dont ya hate it when that happens [03:10] phil_: I want to learn it because I go to The University of Missouri. I'd say a good 80% of the computers here are Mac and I just want to get used to the interface. [03:10] yes, after quiet [03:10] Hello all.. i have a couple of ISO files on my Ubuntu 10.4 machine.. however i am not sure how to open and play those files. [03:11] However, thank you for the tip. :3 [03:11] i'm running iso [03:11] cage_raphel: are the ISO's media like a movie or CD? [03:11] Sanctusorium: in that case, http://sourceforge.net/projects/macbuntu/ is a good place to go. You can't really tell the difference ;) it has a nice install/uninstall guide too :D [03:11] ejv: http://gist.github.com/616255 When I point my server towards "trickee.local" nothing happens.

[03:13] Hi , I am trying to make sdb1 (ntfs) my Personal Folder, but , each time i reboot, it goes back to /home , any ideas ? [03:13] cage_raphel: or burn the images to a CD, or extract them (depending on what's inside, it could be pretty straightforward) [03:14] phil_: I'll definitely have to try that. Much better than trying to make a hackintosh system or spending the silly amount of cash for an Apple. [03:14] can you run virtualbox on 64bit server without installing a gui? [03:14] i_is_broke: yes [03:14] phil_: what i am trying to do is directly play them with out burning the iso files to the cd.. you know.. something like a virtual cd drive in win [03:14] ejv, do you know where there is a guide for that? [03:15] cage_raphel: yes install vlc and open them with vlc [03:15] Sanctusorium: Have fun with it ;) You might be sick of it in a few days! === Zeike is now known as brandonj [03:15] collosi: ok will do .. thanks for your help bro :) [03:15] i_is_broke: wild guess here but if you google the words: "virtualbox no gui" and click "I'm feeling lucky" you're guaranteed to win. ;) [03:16] hi [03:16] phil_: I am already sick of it. But MU is in bed with Steve Jobs and figuring out how to use a Mac everytime I am on campus is kinda annoying.

[03:43] collosi: yeah, i have a sda5 - its a swap though [03:44] My wireless works fine under Gnome, but after installing KDE and switching to it, no wireless. How can I fix? [03:44] tanstaffl: so where is your linux partition? [03:45] collosi: good question. it doesn't seem to be there at all [03:45] tanstaffl: did you boot into a livecd and check with fdisk? [03:45] yeah, im running the live cd now [03:46] tanstaafl: what do you seen when you type: sudo fdisk -l [03:46] i'll send it over, one sec [03:48] collosi: http://pastebin.com/Kh7kbrXH [03:49] there's fdisk [03:49] can someone help me with ubuntu and wubi and raid install - will this work on raid 1 [03:49] Just switched to Debian squeeze. So far I LOVE it :) [03:49] why is it that some shell commands written in bash do not need to have echo written in front of it but others do? [03:50] HELP [03:50] ?

Sorry, but it looks like you will have to re-install [03:53] bogomo, thats bt4. nothing to do with ubuntu [03:53] ok i'm new to linux so forgive me if i sound ignorant for not knowing about certain things. My current problem is learning to use WINE properly. I have some windows based games (i.e. Diablo II Lord of Destruction) and I can't figure out how to run them in WINE. I understand that I need to allow files to be executable as a program but since the discs are read only I don't understand how to do this when it comes to games that re [03:53] quire a disc to play like diablo ii and a couple others i have [03:53] My wireless works fine under Gnome, but after installing KDE and switching to it, no wireless. How can I fix this? (Sorry to repost, didn't want my question to get lost in the mix. [03:53] collosi: i dunno what's up with it. it's rather odd [03:53] ) [03:53] ? [03:53] how to install identd on ubuntu [03:53] come on man , im new you dont have to be so pushy like that [03:53] sorry if that was long and annoying [03:54] identd is not ubuntu [03:54] has nothing to do with ubuntu , but its based on ubuntu [03:54] tanstaffl: if sure is, but I can assure you there is no linux partition in there [03:54] HELP [03:54] bogomo, Backtrack is based on Slackware. [03:54] that's what my conclusion was also. except i know there was [03:54] how could the entire partion just go away? [03:54] spdw: just one second [03:55] HELP RAID 1 [03:55] Silverfish, in fact, you don't need to give file executable right to run them with wine [03:55] tomla4444, ? [03:55] tanstaafl: if it was deleted, im guessing [03:55] ok so what do i need to do then? because i have the disc drive configured with WINE but when i try to play it still tells me there's no disc [03:56] tomla4444, what you are looking for [03:56] collosi: heh, yeah that would do it. but how? could the starting cylindar have failed or something on that partion and just taken the whole thing with it? [03:56] Silverfish, if you need a disc, maybe you need to create a drive in wine and link to where the disc is mounted [03:56] Silverfish: wine is not ubuntu [03:56] Does anyone know how to change the widescreen resolution? [03:56] Silverfish, that could be done in winecfg [03:56] the partion was never manually deleted [03:56] Demostremos que somos mas del 1% www.dudalibre.com/gnulinuxcounter [03:56] thank you very much you see i learn something new now.And thnx to bazhang who is trying to kick me from here , just because i was asking couple of questions.......Nice job dude [03:56] WILL UBUNTU INSTALL WITH WUBI ON RAID 1 ON WINDOWS [03:57] something either failed and it whiped itself, or ubuntu screwdup somewhere and reformated it [03:57] tomla4444: I think your capslock is stuck [03:57] no [03:57] tomla4444, this is not windows channel ;) but you can install ubuntu on raid 1 no problem [03:57] Lets demostrate we are more than 1% www.dudalibre.com/gnulinuxcounter [03:57] Ant-, not here [03:57] tanstaafl: I really don't have any idea, seems really odd. [03:58] thanks [03:58] My wireless works fine under Gnome, but after installing KDE and switching to it, no wireless. How can I fix this? (Sorry to repost, didn't want my question to get lost in the mix.) [03:58] tomla4444, it depends what kind of raid you are looking for software or hardware [03:59] collosi: just pulled up disk utilty on the live cd, and it does say there are a few bad sectors from the SMART data [03:59] Silverfish, between, read the Howto section of http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=315 [03:59] is this strictly supposed to be for help with ubuntu itself and not with ubuntu software? if so i'm sorry for coming to the wrong place and if so would you know where i could find real live help with WINE? i have ubuntu questions too but they're not what's bugging me at the moment [03:59] Silverfish, check the appdb and join #winehq [03:59] Silverfish: #wineh-hq i believe [03:59] can i use the wubi install of ubuntu to a virtual drive in windows on raid 1 [03:59] or withouth the dash heh [03:59] !appdb | Silverfish [03:59] Silverfish: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [04:00] fakeraid [04:00] spdw: http://dpaste.com/254818/ [04:00] ok thanks i guess i'll do that then but i assure you i will be back when those ubuntu questions start nagging at me as i'm sure they will lol [04:01] Silverfish, of course welcome to idle here and you may wish to read the ubuntu manual , wine questions are best answered there though [04:01] tomla4444, i don't know that software but you can use vmware or any any virtualisation tool but you will relay on windows for handeling drives [04:01] Silverfish, i suppose you could ask wine in here too, if someone know would probably pick up. but probably #wine is more relevant [04:01] !manual | Silverfish [04:01] Silverfish: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [04:02] gilaniali: can you use backticks rather than echo'ing out a quoted string? [04:02] gilaniali: this character ` [04:02] DO YOU KNOW - WUBI [04:02] spdw: i know i can use them [04:02] spdw: but why doesnt aptitude upgrade require them [04:03] ok cool i have most of the basic stuff figured out (keyword "most") i'm not completely useless with software but i'm no genius with it either...so there's a wine room on here too? i'm new to this program too...just now found it on the ubuntu documentation and thought i'd give it a shot [04:03] gilaniali: not a shell scripting guru so I can only guess. Possibly because of the use of the env variable? [04:04] Silverfish, yep, /join #winehq after checking the appdb [04:04] spdw: env? [04:04] gilaniali: $DB_PASSWORD [04:04] Silverfish, i have told you to read the Howto section on http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=315 [04:05] k thanks for the help...even if it wasn't exactly what i was looking for at least i should be able to find what i'm looking for now [04:05] Silverfish, that is the instructions/tips to get diablo II lord of destruction to work [04:05] SZPUNI [04:05] gilaniali: and/or the use of the '/' without escaping perhaps [04:06] tomla4444, as far as i read this is software to run ubuntu with windows but i never see it [04:06] spdw: maybe, thanks. I'll try find more about it [04:06] YES IT IS [04:06] tomla4444, why don't you repartition your drive leave some space and install ubuntu as separate system? [04:07] I DONT KNOW IF IT WILL WORK WITH IN RAID [04:07] tomla4444: drop the caps [04:07] tomla4444, no caps please [04:08] ok [04:08] tomla4444, yes it will only thing is you can see 2 drives apart of one [04:08] ok [04:08] tomla4444, then you need to set up software raid1 [04:09] i have seen that on demo thumb drive [04:09] tomla4444, in this case google will help you there is a lot of info [04:09] My wireless works fine under Gnome, but after installing KDE and switching to it, no wireless.

Even on my ASA [04:54] :collosi: That's where I looked, highest was like 13xx by 760 [04:55] 768** [04:55] yer xorg.conf is in the /etc/X11 dir ... just modify the "screen" section ... google it if yer unsure what to change [04:55] :Belinrahs: my apologies but I can't dig up the link any longer, but I know the answer was in the googlverse. [04:55] :jasoncinci: Thanks for all the help, quite impressed with the OS so far [04:56] thanks anyway, ill have a look around. i found something before tried it and it seamed to work then problem recured [04:56] :Belinrahs: what nvidia card / monitor are you using? [04:56] :jasoncinci: card is GeForce 9500GT, monitor is an older 22" CRT, connected to card via DVI to VGA adapter [04:57] lucasicf, no, i had never used it, but that is one cool program [04:57] lol [04:57] :Belinrahs: probably an issue probing the older monitor; search google for xorg.conf set screen resolution and hard code it. [04:58] yeah.. i'm trying to play it with the keyboard [04:58] but i can't change the buttons [04:58] lol [04:58] lucasicf, no idea on that... works fine w/ a mouse. [04:58] Can someone please help me to use GParted to create a new partition? [04:59] Belinrahs: use xrandr -q to find out what resolutions X sees is a good place to start [04:59] :moetunes: i'll try that and get back to you asap [04:59] StevenSS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TK5YezY-Xc&feature=related <-- gparted video on how to create a new partition [05:00] StevenSS, whats the problem? [05:00] I want to create another partition so that I can chroot into it or whatever and install an additional Linux distro === shingen1 is now known as shingen [05:00] :moetunes: first line of the output from that command: [05:00] Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1600 x 1200 === histo_ is now known as histo [05:01] StevenSS, you shouldn't need to chroot anything.. the new second linux distro *should* detect the other one, and add it to grub for you. [05:01] Belinrahs: it might be wrong rates for the monitor - you'll need to check the X log for errors about it [05:02] i couldn't get it to mount the fallout 1 iso so now i'm just playing solitaire :P [05:02] :moetunes: the output from that commands seems to imply the system is aware my monitor can do 1600x1200. that's the res I'm trying to attain [05:02] Belinrahs: you can try xrandr -s 1600x1200 to see if it works [05:02] Hi all, I have Q_chat installed on 2 of my ubuntu machines. Just trying to figure out how to find and add one another to my chat rooms...??? [05:03] :moetunes: Failed to change the screen configuration! [05:03] Belinrahs: it might not do that res 'cause the refresh rates etc for the monitor are wrong [05:03] can anyone see how I can tell if this script is actually working http://www.pastie.org/1206908 [05:03] Belinrahs: it might be wrong rates for the monitor - you'll need to check the X log for errors about it [05:03] VegasMike4, thats an application issue, really need to take it up w/ the writers of the app. [05:03] After updates last week I can't load into my wubi install of UNR. After the windows bootloader I get this error for a split second where grub should be loading: To (HD0,0) : NTFS5 NOWUBIDIR [05:03] To (HD0,1) : NTFS5 [05:03] :moetunes: I know the refresh should be 75 Hz, does that help [05:03] :moetunes: ok [05:03] rudy_: did you try: sudo mount -t iso9660 theiso.iso /location/of/where/you/want/to/mount/ -o loop [05:03] I'm surprised it's not obvious [05:04] VegasMike4, wel, if it were obvious, i'm guessing you would not be here [05:04] indeed [05:05] I feel dumb and desperate [05:05] yeah.. that doesn't really make it an ubuntu issue though. [05:06] I di get it via the ubuntu repository [05:06] VegasMike4, http://www.qualcomm.com/products_services/mobile_content_services/voice/qchat.html [05:06] VegasMike4, doesn't really matter, this isn't exactly application support.. [05:06] Okay... sorry [05:07] no need to apologize.. there's a support link on that site, hopefully they can help you [05:07] or is there a better channel for sh support?

[05:35] tim, the one with name ubuntu and four dots under it? [05:35] AbhiJit, ubuntu software center [05:35] moetunes: that conf.d file is empty [05:35] AbhiJit, exactly [05:35] hdtdi, depends what kind of configurations you've made. usually backing up your home folder is enough [05:35] tim, there is one ap called ubuntu tweak try it see if it does this [05:35] tim: if you can do that, you are smarter than mint guys [05:35] hdtdi Clone the hard drive or the partition [05:35] Help! Need to stop NetworkManager, but it keeps respawning. I think that's what's cutting off my network connection every few minutes, after I successfully manually do "sudo dhclient". How do I stop NetworkManager? (Kubuntu 10.04) [05:36] tim: I think that would be done in grub, try a google search [05:36] nogo, i am already smarter than mint guys [05:36] Ed__: there should be a couple of files in that dir afaik [05:36] hahaha [05:36] dborba, installed some apache php mysql some programs and i have some files [05:36] start x11perfcomp xedit xorg.conf.d xsm [05:36] mint guys just remove the picture [05:36] hdtdi: I think what you want is to save the ~/.gconf directory (copy it to ~/gconf-backup or something). Someone else will have to verify the name of this directory --I don't use GNOME so I am not sure. [05:36] I've seen people use ns1.domain.com for their FQDN. I switched my FQDN to www.domain.com and it works just as well. Is anyone able to explain if it really SHOULD be ns1.domain.com? Should I change my hosts back to that? [05:37] hmm... it looks like it's already mounted in /media from the command line.. i didn't even have to use your suggestion colosi... [05:37] Hi folks, been fighting this for a day now - any ideas really appreciated. Can't boot into gnome, lots of broken packages. From recovery console, all errors seem to point to "gconftool-2: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_regex_unref [05:37] AbhiJit, where do i find ubuntu tweak? [05:37] hdtdi, i see - that's a bit trickier if you want to keep the whole lamp configuration. might have to clone the whole drive or save the specific files by hand [05:37] "...but I can't reinstall libglib because it requires the broken package to install. Any ideas? [05:38] exactly what i suggested before lol [05:38] never mind [05:38] tim, http://tinyurl.com/2w3asjo [05:38] MrMagoo: first thoughts that come to mind: you have a library problem --did you erase some library files or have some drive corrupted? Oh, can't install libglib? [05:39] dborba, so there is no such thing as "save and compress the whole system" and when you mess up, restore "from the saved system as it was" [05:39] moetunes I see: start x11perfcomp xedit xorg.conf.d xsm [05:39] MrMagoo: what do you mean, needs broken package to install? You are unable to purge then reinstall? [05:39] AbhiJit, i ain't clickin on no tinyurl [05:39] kwtm: Yeah, the first error I fought was "run fsck manually" which found a bunch of misallocated blocks. === SporkWitch|smoki is now known as SporkWitch [05:39] ahhhh [05:39] tim, then google yourself [05:39] Ed__: from a quick google the issue seems to be with using gdm for auto login - what I do is NOT use gdm and ssh to login and have vncserver start in autostarted apps [05:39] he is not wisley gibson [05:39] k moe [05:40] that would be correct [05:40] MrMagoo: can you boot into CLI? [05:40] AbhiJit, I found it already, i appreciate your advice, we'll see what happens [05:40] kwtm: Any apt-get process (including sudo dkpg --reinstall -a) brings up that error, so uninstalling/reinstalling is failing at the moment. [05:40] kwtm: In recovery console, yes [05:40] kwtm: Correction: apt-get brings up a "dpkg failure" error....dpkg tasks bring up the aforementioned. ;-) [05:41] hdtdi you are thinking like if its how an OEM computer does.. having a recovery option [05:41] Hmm, if dpkg is broken, it's going to be tricky. 2 thoughts: reinstall, or boot from live CD and fix the disk. What do you think --is the data on disk (incl. your libglib) completely screwed? [05:41] hdtdi, not built it - there might be something in the repo that does it though. check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem - might have something that works for u [05:41] MrMagoo: did you try "sudo apt-get -f install" ? [05:41] thanks [05:41] glebihan: Doubt if apt-get -f install will work if dpkg is not working.... [05:41] tim, http://tuxtweaks.com/2010/04/how-to-select-the-splash-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/ [05:42] kwtm: well it does sometimes, and cannot hurt anyway [05:42] anyone here familiar with gphoto2 [05:42] MrMagoo: does purging via dpkg (forgot exact command) work? [05:43] kwtm: I've tried running it through LiveCD...can dpkg files be fixed from there? (The 'fix disc' option fails to do anything, but maybe packages can be installed onto the correct partition from inside a LiveCD instance?) [05:43] kwtm, MrMagoo : dpkg --purge [05:43] Meanwhile, anyone here know how to stop Network Manager? [05:43] hdtdi, now that i think about it - i think there is an app called sbackup that might do the trick for you. Here's something on how to get started with it: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/backup-and-restore-your-ubuntu-system-using-sbackup.html - if you wanna save the whole system you have to backup / [05:43] glebihan: Yes, sadly no joy. [05:43] glbihan: Hmm...haven't tried a purge...2 mins [05:43] kwtm: sudo service network-manager stop [05:43] i have 3 folders in my d300 camera. i'm looking to download a specific file from one of the folder [05:43] glebihan: THanks! WIll try. [05:43] dborba, thanks very much [05:44] but gphoto2 -f 'folder' -p 1950 [05:44] hdtdi, np [05:44] gives me an error about missing quotation [05:44] Hi all, Is there a Text to speech synthesizer available for Linux better than festival?

[05:45] yes [05:45] kwtm: you're welcome [05:45] hello [05:46] it talks to the monsters on the screen *Orca [05:46] MrMagoo: isn't libglib one of those essential libraries? You might be looking at a reinstallation here. How many partitions on your hard drive, just out of curiosity? GOt the data in a separate drive? [05:46] ranjan, yes [05:46] AbhiJit: i want to save the thing as ogg or wav [05:46] crashdata: could you pastebin the exact command and error message ? [05:46] ranjan, hmm dunno [05:46] ranjan: I've just used e-speak, which is fairly basic. How's festival? [05:47] kwtm: festival is nice but the natural feel is not coming in the voice :( [05:47] kwtm: do you know whether festival can be extended with more natural voices? [05:47] kwtm: Yeah, I think it might be. The data is recoverable, but it's my main machine so if at all possible, I'd love to save it. Still, it's looking increasingly like data recovery might be the most I can hope for [05:47] ranjan: Not familiar with festival;sorry. [05:47] MrMagoo: THis is what I do: [05:48] kwtm: ok :) [05:48] MrMagoo: (some of this you would have needed to do beforehand, so this is for future reference, and let's see how we can apply this to you) [05:48] kwtm: *nods* [05:49] Hey there peoples [05:49] MrMagoo: I have 1 big data partition, 2 small partitions for actual OS. I install (k)Ubuntu on 1 small partition, then set up to mount the big data partition (most people mount it under /home; I make my own modifications). [05:49] should it be possible to recover it using a livecd? [05:49] Hello all [05:49] arch好用吗 [05:49] hey [05:49] MrMagoo: If anything fails or starts to fail, then I install Ubuntu on 2nd small partition (e.g. if I am upgrading to next version, I never actualy upgrade the currently used system). ANd I also mount big data partition on /home or whatever. [05:50] MrMagoo: That way: you always have the big data partition, but it's easy to switch to another root partition for dual booting, or if something gets screwed up. Now, to apply it to your case: [05:50] kwtm: Ahh, nice. Yeah...probably should have done that [05:50] Well i have been banned from the Yellow Dog forum for a week [05:50] too bad [05:51] glebihan, here is the patebin http://pastebin.com/EdP0Skc6 [05:51] MrMagoo: You may need to somehow create a small data partition to do a fresh install of Ubuntu. You can try gparted (I don't recommend QtParted), or commercial programs like PartitionMagic or PartitionExpert from Acronis (which is what I use; $45 from Internet 6 yrs ago) [05:51] here is the pastebin for gphoto2 http://pastebin.com/EdP0Skc6 [05:51] Question: I just loaded Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit on my laptop but the screen has all these horizontal lines across it and the picture is not centered.

[05:53] AbhiJit, it has login settings but they are greyed out... [05:53] zdc: I can read your Chinese but we're on an English channel. CUrrently have no chinese input. Sorry. [05:53] yeah i saw that [05:53] AbhiJit - I'm sorry what? [05:53] kwtm: & yeah, I'm reasonably comfortable in gParted [05:53] ignorance is the best blessing [05:54] kwtm:同样感谢 [05:54] tim, loging setting are not for splash screen. you have to click on a unlock button on bottom right side to unlock it [05:54] crashdata: looks like a known bug, which should be fixed in version 2.5.0 (no idea when it'll be released) [05:54] kwtm: Very little space left on drive, but I'm more than happy to overwrite the Windows partition...it's never used anyhow [05:54] crashdata: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=84757 [05:54] MrMagoo: How big is dead partition? Partition itself is not really dead, just that the software on it won't boot, right? Consider splitting that partition and installing new Ubuntu so you at least have running gnome. But agree move stuff out of dead partition first. [05:54] If nature tells you min/max/close is on the right, press Alt+F2 and type in gconf-editor. Then under the apps branch, go to metacity, general, there's something called button_layout. Change it to :minimize,maximize,close [05:55] But then I have this unsightly gap on the left of the window title. How can I fix that? [05:55] glebihan, so there is no fix for this rightnow? [05:55] kwtm: Yeah, that's the plan. Cheers. [05:55] MrMagoo: sounds like you should put stuff from dead partition into data partition (big partition, right?) not Win partition. You may want to install Ubuntu onto Win partition. If you configure things right, you can hit the ground running. [05:55] It looks like there's suppose to be a program button there. [05:55] hello tiox it's Meg from last night [05:56] AbhiJit, i understand that. but i want to tweak the whole startup sequence, and i like the gui of ubuntu tweak, so i'm going to play with it for a while [05:56] Hi Meg! [05:56] Got it working? [05:56] MrMagoo: Okay. Best of luck. Sounds like you already know how to mount your "dead" partition so it's also visible from newly installed Ubuntuwin partition [05:56] nope [05:56] My copy of Qemu freezes during compiling, always on the translate.o file - anyone have any advice? [05:56] Awww... [05:56] I went into BIOS and couldn't find a way to change the controller [05:56] crashdata: apparently not, there a bug report on launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgphoto2/+bug/144585) which has been opened for 3 years and still isn't closed... [05:56] Well, last night i tried, but the BIOS in my mother's machine is an Insyde H2O. [05:56] did some searches too and can't find any info [05:56] Tried the USB installer? [05:57] kwtm: Insufficient space on data partition, otherwise would. Anyhow, thanks. To be honest I've been putting off getting a new laptop anyhow...I think this is it's way of saying time for a new one. Cheers. [05:57] yes my BIOS doesn't have the ability to boot from a USB [05:57] TRJ021782: try virtual box [05:57] glebihan, ic good stuff.. [05:57] Satellite M35X [05:58] it only has 4 options, hard drive, removable devices, cd/dvd, and network [05:58] Is there an option to press F2 or F12 on boot? [05:58] yea [05:58] Or some other button to enter BIOS setup? [05:58] So you can access the boot manager. [05:58] Meg: wouldn't removable devices be USB? [05:58] If you can access the bios or boot manager, then you need to intervene to make it work. [05:59] Otherwise it will always go to IDE0 or whatever the main drive is called. [05:59] yea that's how I got it to boot from the cd [05:59] moved cd to the top [05:59] trying to set a custom resolution on my nvidia video card, could someone give me a hand? [05:59] collosi: That's what I thought [05:59] And you tried again, modifying the BIOS while the USB drive is plugged in? [05:59] collosi well not exactly what i was looking for but i guess i will try [05:59] See, that's the trick -- Devices must be attached to have the BIOS see them after POST. [05:59] Meg: what exactly are you trying to do, sorry tiox for butting in [05:59] Hi, what are these "other_vhost.log that I am seeing in /var/log/ How can I stop apache from creating these? [06:00] collosi, she is trying to get the Ubuntu installer to work. [06:00] I don't recall if I did [06:00] TRJ021782: what exactly are you trying to do with QEMU? [06:00] On her Toshiba laptop she is failing hard. [06:00] will try it now [06:00] trying to set a custom resolution on my nvidia video card, could someone give me a hand? [06:00] got this up on my desktop pc [06:00] Cool. [06:01] USB still doesn't appear in the list of boot devices [06:01] Okay... is the ;abel of the drive there? [06:01] label* [06:01] Ok, no one answering my question about network cutting off --understandable. How about this: how can I regress those automatic apt-get upgrades back (say) 1 week ago when I (ahem) HAD WORKING NETWORKING on my laptop? (sorry, kinda frustrated right now) [06:01] I mean, if there is nothing, I believe you. [06:01] Meg: do you have an option during POST to boot from a device usually something like F12? [06:02] Coll, yes. [06:02] trying to set a custom resolution on my nvidia video card, could someone give me a hand? please? [06:02] She did say that. [06:02] yes I am in the bios right now [06:02] And if it';s not in BIOS, it certainly won't be in boot manager. [06:02] kwtm: no way to do that automatically... all you can do is downgrade the packages you know have upgraded [06:02] Meg, answer me this. [06:03] Did you try burning the CD using Infra Recorder? [06:03] Belinrahs: have you tried out xrandr? [06:03] Because that si what I use. [06:03] yea that's how I made it [06:03] Default settings, lowered drive speed makes burning the image on disk foolproof. [06:03] 朋友们，有谁知道在gnome下怎样记住窗口的大小和位置啊，不会没有办法吧，fluxbox都有这个功能的 [06:03] :collosi: I used that many times, I added the mode, checked to see if the resolution was there, no dice..restart X, and the mode is magically gone from xrandr [06:03] I did the md5sum hash check before that and verified the CD after it was made [06:03] Also, look in your BIOS some more for a controller type option. [06:03] !cn | zdc [06:03] zdc: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [06:04] hmmm someone look at zdc [06:04] I mentioned this last night -- I have to use IDE over ACHI to run CDs. [06:04] glebihan: Darn. Thx. Is there anything I can do to find out what happens to the network every few minutes? I can pin down to the exact second the moment my network goes out (with ping), but need to know what program is doing that. [06:04] glebihan: ifconfig and route don't seem to help. [06:04] ubottu: 那边没有人知道 [06:04] yea I can't find a controller option [06:04] I don't know your BIOS. I don't have your computer, so I don;t know your computer.' [06:04] zdc: Do you need help translating your question to ENglish? [06:04] Also, that's poopy. [06:04] zdc wants to know how to make GNome remember window size/position. I don't use GNOME so I can't help. Anyone? [06:05] kwtm: I don't know, maybe "dmesg" ? [06:05] Meg, you might have to give up on installing through CD pre-boot and go into Windows and use Wubi. [06:05] kwtm: 谢谢，朋友们能看清就行 [06:05] glebihan: Tried that, too, but good thought. BUt is there another log other than dmesg? LIke, is there "dmesg --network" or something? [06:05] zdc: ubottu不是一个人 [06:05] ok what is Wubi, sounds like a security blankie lol [06:05] THough, as I said, try again with a new disk and a lower drive speed. [06:05] Wubi is the Windows installer for Ubuntu. [06:05] zdc: If unable to type English, why not use Google translate? [06:05] Comes with the CD. [06:05] Belinrahs: have you tired editing your xorg.conf file [06:05] I mean, after you burined the image. [06:05] my flash player in Ubuntu 10.04 64bit is not working.. how do I correct it? [06:05] b uraburned* [06:05] Wait, maco speaks Chinese? Or is that translate.google.com/maco? [06:05] ... [06:05] oh ok [06:06] Burned** [06:06] tiox: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:06] is that through putting the disk in while in windows [06:06] kwtm: 谢谢，我知道 [06:06] kwtm: google translate. japanese is the only asian language i can do [06:06] Holy cow, sign language, CHinese, what's next? Klingonaase? [06:06] kwtm: spanish, japanese, russian, sign language for me [06:06] :collosi: Tried that and nvidia-settings will not show the resolution as an option, and if I restart gdm my change to xorg.conf magically goes away [06:06] Meg: you technically dont even have to put a CD in if you can somehow mount the ISO in windows [06:06] kwtm: in that order of learning, but not at all in that order of proficiency [06:06] Really? [06:06] !cn | zdc [06:06] zdc: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [06:07] That's an interesting tidbid. [06:07] tidbit* [06:07] If she does this, wouldn't that make Windows inaccessible? [06:07] kwtm: not sure, look in /var/log if you can find something useful... [06:07] glebihan: Okay... maybe "tail -f /var/log/something".... [06:07] Friends, who know how to remember the next gnome window size and position of, ah, no way it will not, fluxbox has this feature [06:07] uh, okay here is another thing I have tried [06:07] Belinrahs: hmmm, how about trying: sudo Xorg -configure [06:08] kwtm: yes maybe, but I can't see anything looking like a network log here [06:08] Belinrahs: sounds like your xorg.conf file is being rewritten to a default one [06:08] collosi: just tried, got "Fatal server error, Server is already active for display 0" [06:08] I put the CD in while I was at my windows desktop and it came up with the option to install ubuntu over windows or beside windows [06:08] Meg, we want to remind you, just because we know you're most likely frustrated: Most times an installation is quick and easy. It's your machine being the problem if you took every precaution to burn a CD correctly, tweak your BIOS etc. [06:09] Belinrahs: you need to make a new modeline in the monitor section for the reolution you want [06:09] Belinrahs: you need to kill gdm to run that [06:09] where would i go to change what i'm using for audio? Pretty sure it's using ALSA right now, someone suggested trying something else (O-something, i think?) to see if resolves the intermittent issues i've been seeing [06:09] Belinrahs: pass the command the "-display :1" option [06:09] moetunes: I did several times, when I went to restart gdm the changes to xorg.conf went away [06:09] I this bios seems quite simplistic, PhoenixBIOS [06:09] Belinrahs: or "-display 1" I don't know [06:10] there isn't much to change [06:10] glebihan: "unrecognized option: -display" [06:10] Friends, who know how to remember the next gnome window size and position of, ah, no way it will not, fluxbox has this feature [06:10] !cn | zdc [06:10] zdc: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [06:10] Belinrahs: are you changing xorg.conf as root? just making sure [06:10] collosi: yes [06:10] Belinrahs: nm my question doesnt make sense [06:11] Belinrahs: oh right that's an option to "X" not "Xorg", note that you can run "sudo X -configure" also [06:11] I tried using the CD to install Ubuntu alongside windows from within it and then rebooting [06:12] glebihan: I tried sudo X -configure and with the -display option, no difference [06:12] Meg: what went wrong? [06:12] Belinrahs: well then you should try stopping gdm and running the command from a VT [06:12] it gives me the option to either boot ubuntu or windows and when I selected ubuntu it hangs after the screen with Ubuntu and the flashing dot progress thing [06:12] Belinrahs: can you verify with another screen that xorg can be changed? [06:13] #ubuntu, which is the best text-based browser? [06:13] extra credit: which, if any, has vim-like key mappings on default?

[06:17] Meg: I would reinstall [06:18] from inside Windows? [06:18] Meg: that is up to you [06:18] cause now I can't get it to do the boot from the CD [06:18] ok [06:18] I will ask again, what does child-rip mean when running from CD? [06:18] SIOCADDRT: No such process. Why is that...? [06:18] I see the first splash on my mother's laptop, but after that it's like the CD tells me the load process died. [06:18] It's a Toshiba, BTW.

[06:20] I'm using NetXtreme BCM5754 Ethernet card with Ubunt Server 10.04 LTS and I have reasons to believe that the driver is faulty, causing network disconnects [06:20] tiox: if you think that is the case then using wubi to install would be a better option [06:20] (64-bit) [06:20] the official driver from Broadcom is in rpm format only, is there another workarround? [06:20] How can I use the remote connection software remotely? I have a wireless router that would have to forward a port. So what port does the builtin remote software use? [06:21] Owow [06:21] It still fails when I tirned virtualization off. [06:21] SO huh. [06:21] I can load from USB for some reason.

It works fine in X, I'm just trying to get it to work from shell-only (ie. before X is started) [06:41] zedeee: what, we're ignoring allthe times it crashes after a while when installed any other way? :) [06:41] Is it possible to virtually run the Wubi install from inside Windows 7?

[06:48] kwtm: bing is microsoft's websearch tool, and no it doesn't send anything to google [06:48] microsoft has a websearch tool now? [06:48] zedeee: Ya wubi installation has many problems. But that can't describe Ubuntu coz it's not build to run within windows [06:49] kwtm: its been around a while now [06:49] kwtm: Yep. Google has gotten ideas for it too. [06:49] *form [06:49] they still haven't learned after failing at search and zune and tablet comp and pocketpc an d ... ?? [06:49] ActionParsnip: so the only solution is to use live cd and then install it thru tht? [06:49] kwtm: BIng is actually doing very well if I understand correctly [06:49] zedeee: its good as a uick try before you buy sort of deal but as a long term solution its not very good [06:49] omicron_: attlest on older ubuntu version , update-rc.d application remove , and update-rc.d app defaults i think [06:50] zedeee: Well if you want to be in the safe side then proper installation is must [06:50] zedeee: sure, if you use win7 you can use its own tool to resize the windows partition and make room for ubuntu [06:50] and that proper installation comprises wat? [06:50] thanks for your help guys [06:50] simplexio: aha! i now identify you as the person most liklely to help me with my networking problem [06:50] zedeee: Installation from Live CD [06:50] my harddrive is already partitioned into 4...and i have win xp [06:50] zedeee: make sure your backups are sufficiently recent BEFORE starting all this in case of catastrophe [06:51] zedeee: the ubuntu installer can resize ntfs. Win7 just does a better job [06:51] create backups within xp? and how to do tht? [06:51] zedeee: Just create some free space.....10GB will do. Recommended is 20GB [06:51] simplexio: what is the most likely software on lucid that will kep cutting off my ethernet connection a few minutes after successfully connect manually via sudo dhclient? [06:51] zedeee: backup you user data? [06:52] zedeee: ActionParsnip means take backup of all your imp datas [06:52] I think it's a problem with the STA drivers. [06:52] ok...i thought he meant creating a restore point or somthing [06:52] I can get a list of local networks with iwlist, but even in X now I can't connect to a network (unsecured or otherwise) [06:52] kwtm: when it drops, run: dmesg | tail ,see what's going on [06:53] We really need a plan of action for dysfunctional machines., [06:53] omicron_: is your wireless device wlan0? [06:53] kwtm: my best quess is networkmanager witch tries to reconfigure interface [06:53] ActionParsnip: nope, eth1 [06:53] Need some help creating and using a tar command to make an exact copy of / and /home partitions. I've googled and read the man page which leaves me uncertain. Anyone here understand tar fully? [06:53] q99125: what about dump? [06:53] omicron_: install wicd ,it can be told which device to use. Afaik network-manager expects wlan0 [06:54] kwtm: also dmesg and cat /var/log/messages syslog etc may give some useful info [06:54] 哪个国家的 [06:54] omicron_: so you can tell it to use eth1 [06:54] q99125: what do you want backed up? === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [06:54] !cn | ypx032 [06:54] ypx032: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [06:54] q99125: attributes and other stuff [06:54] ActionParsnip: Hm, well, I can see the local networks and everything, and it tries to connect, it just doesn't succeed. This is the same in X and with iwlist. I'll give wicd a try though [06:55] q99125: if you want an image then you can use partimage ,it will compress the data too if you tell it. Install itin livecd and run it. You also use the same tool to restore [06:55] omicron_: wicd is sweet. Alsodisable ipv6 if you don't use it. I've seen this help too [06:56] freetown2: I have a drive with WinXp and Linux and want to backup / and /home, repartition the drive to 3 partitions and restore / and /home exactly as they are now. I want to be sure owner and permissions are retained exactly as they are now. [06:56] meiyouzhongwen [06:57] ActionParsnip: Cool, I'll do that and get back to you. Fingers crossed [06:57] Hello , when i use right click on flash element on Mozilla its crash ? any idea ? [06:57] how can i copy the drie to wnixp [06:57] ActionParsnip: I've looked into a number of methods and tar appeared to be the least complicated. [06:58] Knight231: log a bug. Also make sure you don't have any swfdec or gnash packages installed [06:58] q99125: what ActionParsnip said is alot easier, use partimage [06:58] q99125: that's cool [06:58] q99125: how about just shrinking your partitions then? [06:58] q99125: man tar , and you probably dont need backup / if you havent installed alot stuff from outside package manager [06:59] I'd like to stay with ta [07:02] q99125: tar might be fine for /home but for /.... [07:04] Hi all! Simple question: how to check how old is the system (when it was installed)? [07:06] bars0, sudo head -c 15 /var/log/installer/syslog;echo [07:06] http://lxtips.posterous.com/find-your-ubuntu-installation-date-on-the-cli [07:06] or ls -l / [07:07] hello [07:07] Hi Gene_ [07:07] how do I get apt-get to run a package configuration script after re-installing a previously uninstalled package? [07:07] like the one that comes with roundcube for example [07:08] because the actual package doesn't actually come with the database schema [07:08] root_ninja: thank you [07:08] Gene_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure package (my guess) [07:08] ah! thank you [07:08] no, that didn't do anything [07:08] Bah [07:10] bugger. [07:10] this still isn't working [07:10] Morn [07:10] ing [07:10] has broken [07:10] Gene_: well that is the command, if it didn't do anything, it's probably that there wasn't anything to do [07:11] glebihan, i did apt-get install roundcube, after which I got a blue screen saying I needed to setup a database [07:11] ag [07:11] acton [07:11] two screens later it said I don't have MySQL installed [07:11] I aborted the script [07:11] ActionParsnip: How can I disable the default network manager in favor of wicd? [07:12] installed mysql-server, and re-installed roundcube [07:12] but no database configuration wizard! [07:12] I would like to stay with tar, and the drive has many partitions I would like to reduce to just 3. [07:12] Gene_: try purging roundcube and reinstalling it [07:13] q99125: be my guest. don't forget to pass --one-file-system when tarring up / [07:13] Is there a tar IRC channel? [07:14] Gene_: there are postinst scripts on your partition for each package. I think they are in /var/lib/dpkg/info you could rerun the postinst file for your package from there (never done that before persoanlly) [07:14] q99125: could try in #bash [07:14] Why is Unix reffered as *nix ?? [07:14] ActionParsnip: Okay, and thanks. [07:14] ActionParsnip, Gene_ : that won't work, postinst scripts are run on every installation anyway [07:15] Krishnandu: as that also includes other unix based OSes whose name ends in 'nix' [07:15] yeah, purging didn't work [07:15] ah fark - easier to just go and fetch the schema from roundcube.org [07:15] ActionParsnip: Like..?? Can you name some eg. OS..?? [07:16] besides 0.4.2 is out, and 10.04 only provides 0.3 [07:16] Krishnandu: they will all be linux based so are technically the same OSbui believe it also includes bsd [07:16] ActionParsnip: Hmm [07:17] Krishnandu: that's all I know. Its just an accepted method of encompassing unix, bsd and linux (not sure about beos though) [07:18] ActionParsnip: Okies..!! Thnx 4 that...else I'll google it out [07:18] Gene_: try "sudo dpkg-preconfigure roundcube" [07:19] I'm running Xubuntu; how can I disable the default network manager? [07:19] nothing [07:20] already downloaded the tarball [07:20] omicron_: #xubuntu [07:20] hi everyone! I have a problem with bluetooth service. it doesn't start on boot. when I do dpkg-reconfigure bluez the service starts until next reboot. where to dig? [07:21] Gene_: uninstall the package, and run "sudo apt-get autoremove", it will propose you to deconfigure, then on reinstallation, you should be able to reconfigure [07:21] the system: Lucid x86-64 [07:21] it's weird how the original package was built though - half directories and files installed in /var/lib/roundcube the other half in /usr/share/roundcube, and the missing files in the respective folders symlinked between each other [07:21] omicron_: sudo service network-manager stop [07:21] ActionParsnip: \o/ thanks [07:21] !boot | Seito [07:21] Seito: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [07:22] Gene_: packaging guidelines [07:22] !startup | Seito [07:22] Seito: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

You cancheck your startup scripts and items loading at login using those factoids [07:23] I've found, that the service starts through udev rules [07:23] but! [07:24] first of all, the rule is present in /etc/udev/rules.d/97-bluetooth.rule where in fact only one line [07:24] Seito: if you look in system -> prefs -> startup items ,is bluetooth listed there? If you install bum can you re-enable it there? [07:25] Seito, cool nick! [07:25] ActionParsnip, there only blueman here [07:25] seidos, thnx :) [07:25] Seito: if you add the command in rc.local it can also be made to run there [07:26] ActionParsnip, also tried with no luck. I added the command to rc.local like sudo service bluetooth start without any success after all [07:26] am not able to add backtrack tools to my ubuntu, help [07:26] #ubuntu+1 [07:26] Seito: no need for sudo. Stuff in rc.local runs as root [07:27] ActionParsnip, I even tried to reinstall those packages related to bluetooth (bluez, bluetooth, blueman) hoping that dpkg will recreate all needed configs [07:27] Seito: it also needs addingabove the exit 0 ,line [07:27] ActionParsnip, yes, it's already there [07:27] o.k., I [07:28] *I'll try without sudo [07:28] Seito: ? [07:28] Seito: i'd log a bug too [07:28] ActionParsnip, can you tell me please how to log it? [07:29] Seito: ubuntu-bug bluetooth ,or whatever package you feel is affected === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy === sn1wflake is now known as sn0wflake [07:30] ActionParsnip, also, can you tell me where to look for the log (if any) which bluetooth service writes? [07:30] Seito: /var/log would be my first place to look [07:32] oh, :) thnx. ok, I'll try with rc.local, but it's still strange for me why it doesn't wish to start when the systems boots. [07:33] bb [07:33] thanks a lot! [07:39] IN GNOME-Office, Agnubis is incomplete. So, is there any good presentation package to be used with it? (OpenOffice is a bit slow, and I don't like KOffice).

[07:49] just use irssi? [07:50] xchat for gui irssi for cli :) [07:51] i prefer cli, since you can run it in gnu screen [07:52] will ubuntu do a release on 11.11.11 too? [07:53] maybe :p [07:53] tarzeau, I understand there is also some kind of screen-ish X server that stays independent with X apps and connects to real X server if wanted. [07:53] nikolam: is there? show me where? [07:54] just a sec I think I have seen some wikipedia artilce on it once, did not have time to test yet [07:57] 大家好 [07:58] nikolam: tarzeau: I'm not sure what a 'screen-ish X server' looks like, but I know that vncserver can run an X server in the background that's a good place to park long-running X11 applications, if that's what you mean... [07:58] Loshki: no, i'm perfectly happy with gnu screen. and i don't like xchat [07:59] Where is the configuration file for screenshot program in ubuntu-dektop?

I try to use the budled program itself [08:00] Loshki, yes, something like that [08:01] I like ffmpeg for screenshots [08:01] I dream of somethink like that as default behavior, of starting all apps on headless X server that would connect to real one, when needed, therefore screen-like X [08:02] Do anyone know where is the configuration file for screenshot program in ubuntu-dektop? [08:02] napster: it's a gnome application right? [08:02] napster: maybe in gconf [08:02] napster: it must be either in .local/gnome or so, or .gnome or .gconf or so [08:02] tarzeau: yes [08:02] hi [08:02] moetunes: let me see [08:02] hi [08:02] hi [08:02] Eryn_1983_FL: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[09:03] anygivenname sudo ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -vebrose -noquiet [09:03] sda1986: the shortcut has to launch a shell, then run the scripts, from the command line, you already have the shell running [09:04] anygivenname no, this one sudo /etc/init.d/ddclient status [09:04] i have to launch like that? "bash name.sh" [09:04] ?? [09:05] sda1986: no, I'm just explaining why you found it a little slower from the short cut [09:06] oh, there is a way to do it faster? the truth is i don't care about the 3second because it's a background work, i only don't want see the wait cursor! [09:06] sda1986: then you need to get a grip, the wait cursor is while the shell is being launched [09:06] iflema: thanks....it is the right command === blueghost is now known as iBlueGhost [09:07] ikonia: hi [09:07] mfaroukg: yes ? [09:07] it showed running although it missed few hours back [09:07] ikonia, what do you mean? sorry [09:07] ikonia: I just installed hylafax and I don't know where can I open it [09:07] mfaroukg: have you read any documentation on it [09:08] sda1986: the wait cursor is never going to go away [09:08] mfaroukg: its a console app [09:08] ikonia: I read it faster, can you tell me where to open it? or does it have interface? [09:08] mfaroukg: no, read the documentation, you should not be trying to set something like hylafax up without reading the documetnation [09:08] mfaroukg: its a server that just runs a daemon and answers incoming faxes and outputs to file or whereever you want [09:08] ok, so second question, can i include other script inside a script? like a library inside a C program? [09:09] sda1986: sure [09:09] sda1986: the guys in #bash are the best place to help with scripting [09:09] sdfsdf [09:09] thanks! [09:09] is there a way to backup all the settings I have done on Ubuntu & restore them on a new PC I am getting ?

[09:41] I am afraid that this problem happens again [09:41] FreaZor: really ? I can't see why it wouldn't work then...

What is the name of Ubuntu search tool which behaves like OS X Finder? [09:43] FreaZor: I don't think this should matter [09:43] FreaZor, does the person need to be IN Canada or just a fellow Canadian?

I cannot help myself without a internet connection [09:45] FreaZor: you got a smart phone you can tether with? [09:46] no :( [09:46] FreaZor: well I'm not sure, maybe try to shut down and restart the wlan connection, ie "sudo ifconfig wlan0 down && sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" [09:47] ok i will try. [09:48] could i install a driver maybe? [09:49] FreaZor: well maybe, but it doesn't look like a driver issue [09:49] glebihan, http://paste2.org/p/1025425 some of these seem a bit redundant... can I remove some? (list limited to the redundant stuff) [09:49] if it is working it is not the driver [09:49] what happened to package madwifi-tools ? [09:50] Is there a tool for live search for files? Like OS X Finder [09:50] ok [09:50] teamcoltra: yes you can remove old kernels, though I'd recommend keeping 2 installed [09:50] MegaHerz: live search? [09:50] MegaHerz: there's find... [09:50] tarzeau: yeah, when you type, it searches for files [09:51] glebihan, I know this is going to sound stupid... but the newest 2 will just be the two highest numbers correct? [09:51] tarzeau: without need for pressing Enter, and which locates on Panel (applet) [09:51] teamcoltra: you're right [09:51] MegaHerz: dunno, i use find when i'm not on mac os x [09:51] tarzeau: you mean cli find? :) [09:51] MegaHerz: i actually don't like mac os x finder, i loved openstep much better [09:51] MegaHerz: yes, what else? [09:51] tarzeau: :) [09:51] glebihan, I know its a stupid question... but if I don't ask, I will find out that they use some crazy naming scheme AFTER I reinstall [09:51] MegaHerz: this is ubuntu, not mac os x [09:52] tarzeau: I know, but a yeah ago I installed a tool like this, just forgot its name ( [09:52] a bicycle is not a bike is not a car is not a plane [09:52] MegaHerz: and now it's gone :) [09:52] glebihan, and final question will this cause conflict if I use this list to upgrade to the newest version (because now that I look its only 2 days away, I might as well not reinstall and just upgrade with the final version) [09:52] teamcoltra: there are no stupid questions, better asking rather than breaking your system because you were ashamed of asking :) [09:52] morning i know that sound stupid but with this option zip -r ride.war /folder y cannot compress this folder === eureka_ is now known as nitneiht [09:53] the point is i have several fileas and folders and i want compress all this files/folders in a zip file [09:53] MegaHerz: if you had a hammer, everything looks like a nail? [09:53] but not inside a folder all the files folders in the root of the zip file [09:53] ok, can we give the examples a rest [09:53] somebody can help me [09:53] hello everyone [09:53] teamcoltra: I don't really understand your question there... [09:53] Osmosis: there are better options then zip - why use that? [09:54] because i want zip in a war file [09:54] Osmosis: what is a war file ? [09:54] Osmosis: is it already compressed ? [09:54] web aplication file [09:54] I was gonna ask that Osmosis [09:54] Osmosis: as in a java war [09:54] glebihan, if I upgrade, will installing this list of packages cause any issues with the new packages that come with the new version? like for instance, lets say the new version uses OSS, and my packages are setup for Pulse, woudl that break the sound system (I know that it doesn't but 'for instance') [09:55] when i import socket python interpreter through : Traceback (most recent call last): [09:55] File "", line 1, in [09:55] File "socket.py", line 2, in [09:55] s= socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'AF_INET' [09:55] nitneiht: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:55] the point is, i have this java war file, then i descompress all the folder/files in a folder, then i modify sdome files and then, i want compress again with the same estructure that i had before [09:55] join #madwifi [09:55] i mean all the files folders in the root of the war file [09:55] Osmosis: war files are already compressed [09:55] teamcoltra: no the upgrade will keep your dependencies, just watch what packages are being uninstalled during the process [09:56] before to be modify yes [09:56] Osmosis: war files are not built with zip [09:56] but as i told you i need modify some files [09:56] nitneiht: Using which version of python? [09:56] so unzip/zip necesary [09:56] Osmosis: yes, and a war file is not built with zip [09:56] glebihan, perfect... that seems easy enough :) Thanks for your help [09:56] teamcoltra: you're welcome [09:56] you can build anyway [09:57] Osmosis: how did you uncompress it ? [09:57] i did but with this structure zip -r ride.war /tmp/lcds/lcds_final he create me the war file but with internaly the path /tmp/lcds/lcds_final/And then the folders files that i want in the root of the file [09:58] i dont know if i be clear what i want [09:58] unzip ride.war -d /tmp/lcds/lcds_final [09:58] tensorpudding : 2.6.5 [09:58] Osmosis: cd into "folder" and do zip -r /tmp/ride.war . [09:58] then i unzip the ride contain in that folder [09:58] nitneiht: is that the one in lucid? [09:58] yes [09:59] zip -r /tmp/ride.war [09:59] ikonia, ubuntu@ip-10-226-231-21:/tmp/lcds/lcds_final/tmp/lcds/lcds_final$ zip -r /tmp/ride.war [09:59] zip error: Nothing to do!

[10:00] tensorpudding yes [10:00] Osmosis: zip needs either an absolute path, or a current working directory [10:00] nitneiht: hmm, that is strange [10:01] this is the path where i have the files/folders that i want compress in the war file [10:01] /tmp/lcds/lcds_final/tmp/lcds/lcds_final$ [10:01] strange? [10:01] tensorpudding: strange? [10:01] nitneiht: well, it looks to be a bug with socket.py [10:02] and i want that the war file not be created with the same path inside him as is happening [10:02] Osmosis: it doesn't matter, you need to specifcy an absolute path or a current working directory for the files [10:02] tensorpudding how to fix it [10:02] ? [10:02] nitneiht: which i'm pretty sure is a built-in library with python, and if you're running the version in lucid it shouldn't have such an obvious bug [10:03] Seeking a free and good windows X11 client (wrong forum) [10:03] jelg: offtopic here, sorry [10:03] jelg: Xming [10:03] offtopic and wrong forum but quick reply, thanks :-) [10:04] after all going to use it to connect to by ubuntu box ;) [10:04] hi all [10:04] nitneiht: what command did you type to get this error ?

[10:28] Osmosis: you don't read what's being typed, so I'm going to stop helping you [10:29] sorry ikonia, but i think that you ask for this [10:29] Osmosis: I didn't - I asked for the output of"pwd" very specific, you're on your own now [10:29] MarcRichter: do you mean _start_ everytime systems boots ? if so update-rc.d app remove [10:29] Osmosis: pwd only prints out one line [10:30] MarcRichter: it might get started after apt-get install [10:30] sorry i thought that you want the output of the compress file [10:30] lcds/tmp/lcds/lcds_final [10:30] here [10:30] sorry [10:30] Osmosis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:30] this is where i have my files/folders [10:30] and there is where i execute the script that you told me [10:31] 2) We need to build a package (the php5 ones) by source, since we need a function which is not available within the ubuntu default packages. We're doing this by: "apt-get -y source php5 ; apt-get -y build-dep php5", "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" and installing this result with dpkg. But apt wants to still update these packages afterwards. Can someone tell me why? [10:31] but then the war file has inside this path until the files, folders " lcds/tmp/lcds/lcds_final" and this is what i want avoid [10:32] ikonia, on the KVM install page, it says its assuming I am using a server with no X. How will the fact that I am NOT using a server and DO have X installed change this install guide? [10:32] I am using this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation [10:32] Sanctusorium: nothing [10:32] Cool, thank you again :) [10:32] Sanctusorium: it's easier with X as you can use the libvirt gui [10:33] if i do "Rescue a system" from a ubuntu 8.04 CD will it work properly on my 10.04, or will it wreck it ? [10:33] simplexio: No. I have a cluster, where NFS shall not be started per default but by Heartbeat. And when I'm doing the apt-get dist-upgrade, there's an update for NFS available, which restarts the daemon. This I want to prevent, but the package thinkls it failed to install when I skip this Step by "Strg-C". [10:33] bradleyayers: dependes what you do, if you just want a shell, it will be fine [10:34] i want it to install drivers for my hardware, i change mobo + cpu + ram [10:34] and now things dont seem to work properly [10:34] bradleyayers: then it will not work [10:34] thanks [10:34] should i do it with a 10.04 cd? [10:35] bradleyayers: that would make more sense [10:35] internet is slow here, so downloading a cd was my last resort [10:36] simplexio: Any Idea ? O.O [10:36] 5 hours remaining :( [10:36] Hi, i was wondering if someone could help me with this: I just plugged in an external hard drive, but it won't let me mount it. Its giving me the error: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on / . I have tried reformatting it but it won't let me. When I type mount in terminal, the first line is "/dev/sdb1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)" but theres no reference to /dev/sdb1 in my fstab. [10:36] mount failed. [10:37] bah actually i meant internal [10:37] Benoms1: sdb1 is mounted as your root file syste [10:37] system === hl_ is now known as hl [10:38] Benoms1: you can't mount it again while it's already mounted [10:38] MarcRichter: hmm not yet [10:38] ikonia: but im just to mount a newly plugged in blank hard drive.. is there any way to make it mount as a different dev? [10:39] Benoms1: why do you think the new external hard disk is sdb ? [10:39] ikonia: i guess my main problem is that my network interfaces no longer work, my intel pro/1000 card is making my kernel spit out "e1000: eth1: e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx Unit Hang" messages :S [10:40] ikonia: because when i go to disk manager, select it and click 'Mount' it gives me the error "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: according to mtab, /dev sdb1 is already mounted on / mount failed" [10:40] Benoms1: yes, sdb1 is already mounted, which suggests that is not your external drive [10:40] ikonia: so its trying to mount at /dev/sbd1.. can i someone make it try to mount to a different point? [10:40] Benoms1: it's already mounted [10:41] Benoms1: why do you think your external disk is sdb1 [10:41] Folks, need help with dnsmasq, is someone familiar with it and willing to help? Pls :) [10:41] simplexio: Thank you anyway :) [10:41] StaRetji1: just ask the question [10:41] I'm receiving IP but I have only local network beetween machine hosting dnsmasq [10:41] and my laptop [10:42] StaRetji1: ok, what are you expecting ? [10:42] I can access machine, but it seems there is no routing at all. I thought dnsmasq would do that by default [10:42] ikonia: I go to disk utility, select the 'ATA SAMSUNG' drive (which is the only samsung i have and have just plugged it in), that and the partitian has the name 'Bens storage', so i know that i have selected the drive that I just plugged in, and select 'Mount' i get that error. If it was already mounted, it wouldn't say 'Mount' it would say 'Unmount' [10:42] hello [10:43] Benoms1: in nautilus go into /media do you see the disk "Bens storage" there [10:43] ikonia: no [10:43] In other words, i receive IP, gatweay and dns address, but I have only local net, it seems that there is no routing/masquarading [10:44] Benoms1: do you see anything in media ? [10:44] Benoms1: in /media sorry [10:44] MarcRichter: maybe some dpkg-? program has options [10:44] ikonia: yes, i see the other stuff that I have mounted (laptop, music) [10:44] Question; after upgrading to 10.10 the Netbook Interface Session does not revert to Unity, any way of fixing this without reinstalling? [10:45] Benoms1: ok, can you use the pastebin, and show me the output of these two commands in it 1.) mount 2.) sudo fdisk -l [10:45] ikonia: can i pm you? [10:45] Benoms1: why do you need to ? [10:45] ikonia: the paste would be huge wouldn't it? [10:46] Benoms1: that's why I said use a pastebin [10:46] i've changed my system language, now how do i update all the LC_* variables listed by 'locale'?

[10:46] MarcRichter: http://serverfault.com/questions/75114/is-it-possible-to-stop-dpkg-reconfigure-restarting-services [10:46] ikonia: oh ok, sorry i'm new to this. will do it now [10:46] Benoms1: not a problem [10:47] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/508655/ [10:48] Benoms1: and sudo fdisk -l please [10:48] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/508656/ [10:49] Benoms1: ok, so looking at that you have 3 disks in your system, [10:49] Benoms1: does that sound right [10:49] ikonia: yes [10:49] Benoms1: I can tell you now for a fact, that sdb is your internal disk that you have your linux system and your windows partition on [10:49] Benoms1: it's the 320 GB disk [10:49] ikonia: yep that sounds right [10:49] Benoms1: is the external disk 1.5TB [10:49] ikonia, I got KVM installed with the GUI, but its still not giving me an option to open a already installed OS file system. I got using local media and through a network. [10:50] ikonia: the 1.5 is working fine, its the 1TB that isn't [10:50] ikonia, i check again that you told me before and works, thank you very much [10:50] Sanctusorium: that's install media options, you don't want to do an install [10:50] ikonia: its trying to mount to sdb [10:50] Benoms1: ok, so it's the tool, not the problem, as a test, do "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" [10:50] and sorry, i'm new here in Ubuntu world, and in IRC as well need to lear the rules [10:51] Osmosis: it's not rules, it's listening and reading what's being said [10:51] MarcRichter: yep. it seems that invoke-rc.d and policy-rc.d are key words for what you want to do [10:51] Sanctusorium: create a disk image, and instead of using a disk image, select your partition on the real physical disk [10:51] Sanctusorium: you won't need to install then, just power on the VM [10:51] ikonia: that didn't ggive an error or anything, but the drive didn't pop up on my desktop [10:51] yeah but i mean that with all lines i lost some parts of the conversation, will try to take care next time ;-) === regulator is now known as Guest85185 [10:52] Benoms1: ok, it won't, use nautlius to look in /mnt is that the right disk ? [10:52] how do i view the channel topic [10:52] Guest85185: type "/topic" [10:52] thank you [10:52] ikonia: there is nothing in mnt [10:52] Benoms1: nothing at all ? [10:52] Benoms1: is that disk blank ? [10:52] No. [10:53] If you have gnome use the disk utility to see even unmounted drives. [10:53] ikonia, is this making a copy of the WIndows install? [10:53] ikonia: correct, nothing in mnt. Yes the disk is plank [10:53] blank* [10:53] And their paths. [10:53] Sanctusorium: no [10:53] MarcRichter: and you will find more info about those with google [10:53] Benoms1: ahh, that's fine, ok, so thats the right disk and it does mount fine [10:53] Okie :) Let me do a bit of searching of how to create it then. [10:54] Sanctusorium: you already have windows installed on a partition, tell the kvm machine to use that partition instead of a virual disk, and then power on the vm, it will boot from the physical partition [10:54] Sanctusorium: you don't need to create [10:54] Sanctusorium: you've got the install you want to use on the partition [10:56] simplexio: THANKS! Seems like that's a good hook to investigate further :) [10:56] MarcRichter: package is policyrcd-script-zg2 , i too was intrested how its done. may come handy in future [10:57] ikonia: I see what you mean, now, in Disk Utilty, it says that it is mounted.. but how do i add stuff to it and have it display on the desktop. I really appreciate your help with this btw [10:57] MarcRichter: and far as i understand that policy-rc.d only affects services when they are started from invoke-rc.d [10:57] ikonia: it has an NTFS volume on it.. [10:57] Benoms1: I think (not certain) if you reboot, it will sort it's self out [10:57] Benoms1: it looks like plugging in the disk has confused the disk assignments [10:57] ikonia: ok thanks very much. will try it [10:57] ikonia, Sorry if I am being completely oblivious, I am not seeing how to tell KVM to use the NTFS partition. I am using the GUI for KVM made by Canocial [10:58] hello all [10:58] Virtual Machine Manager. [10:58] Sanctusorium: it asks you to make a file for the file system for the vm, point it at the partition [10:59] a quick question (hopefully), if i sudo -s from a username, how can i get that original username once in root? [10:59] damiankw: su username [10:59] oh, i mean how can i echo out that original username [11:01] damiankw: You want to know the last user in that shell since root? [11:03] damiankw: not possible afaics [11:03] hello, i was creating the usb startup disk with ubuntu 10.04, with the startup disk creater utility, the window of application is hung at 99% since 20 minutes, and it says that still it is installing. What should I do now? any Ideas? Thanks in advance [11:03] i guess that would be the way to put it. i was thinking it wasn't possible, but wanted to make sure [11:03] damiankw: btw you should use « sudo -i » [11:04] damiankw: Good question, I don`t know [11:04] simplexio: I have to over- and overlook this several times - since those words aren't telling me anything yet ;D [11:04] simplexio: But I'm on my way ... :) [11:04] damiankw: turns out i was wrong ... [11:05] damiankw: echo $SUDO_USER [11:05] in the respect i need it, i have a couple of users on the server that log in as themselves, then sudo to root in order to do admin features - i want to log the original username on the commands [11:05] you're so sexy to me right now, erUSUL, thanks! [11:06] damiankw: you're wellcome [11:07] Hi, is there a way to auto login with the guest account?

[11:10] so please, if somebody can help me, I'll be so greatful [11:11] Gateway`: so what are you asking? how to set up ip address to an interface in Network manager? [11:12] erUSUL, thanks for answering me, but it's an APC Smartups Network management card [11:12] Gateway`: sudo arp -s [11:12] I just removed something from a panel [11:12] how can I "unremove" it [11:12] I don't know what it was [11:13] WXZ: right click on the panel choose add to panel. look in the list [11:13] Hi , Is it possible to get more information about wireless router ? If you are connected in that AP ? [11:13] I don't know what I removed erUSUL [11:13] llutz, thanks but how can I know the mac address of this card ? it could be written on it ? [11:13] WXZ: can you describe it at least? [11:13] llutz, because I've lost all the manuals :s [11:13] oh, it's the volume control.. I think [11:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/apcupsd [11:14] Gateway`: have a look at the case [11:14] WXZ: you need the indicator applet [11:14] llutz, I'm going to do it right now [11:15] anyway to move the notification area?

[11:19] Gateway`: really dunno; the ups is not connected to any machine? it has its own network card? [11:19] erUSUL, because I've already installed it using the com1 port, and it gives the possibility to shutdown the machine [11:20] but not configuring the NMC on the network :s [11:21] erUSUL, it's connected the network by this Network Management Card and it can get connected via COM1 port as I said, but this method gives the possibilty to shutdown the machine when the rest of charge reach a certain value, so the APC shuts down the machine in a safe way [11:21] Gateway`: http://www.apcupsd.com/ ? the manual looks pretty complete. also maybe in the mailing list you get better help [11:22] but only the machine connected to it via COM1 [11:22] ok I'll see that, thank you [11:23] Hey All does anyone know of a good auto update svn script? that checks the subversion folder for added and removed files?

[11:45] OK, I still need help with my second question: Can anybody tell me why APT doesn't recognize compiled packets as updated? For example with PHP: We update that with "apt-get -y source php5 ; apt-get -y build-dep php5 ; dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" and installing the resulted packages with dpkg. [11:45] After that, apt-get dist-upgrade wants to still update PHP and replaces our self build ones with the repos. [11:45] Why is this happening? [11:46] !checkinstall [11:46] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

[12:56] It's not an application or game so I don't know [12:56] uwsb: pretty sure that PPA has 35 available [12:56] OneMillionDollar: not really, but php is basically only used for server scripting for websites/webapps [12:57] OneMillionDollar: so having a webserver to test it on would be recommended I guess [12:57] tensorpudding: so can I just go there and download the tarball? [12:57] OneMillionDollar: install Apache [12:57] uwsb: that's not how a PPA works, really [12:57] uwsb: you add it to your Software Sources, then you can pick the packages in Synaptic or the Software Center [12:57] what do i need to install in my computer if i want to learn php ? is it possible not to install webserver ? [12:57] tensorpudding: i am behind a proxy and aptitude is not working due to a port blockage [12:58] im trying to make a partition but Gparted is saying the device "is apparently in use by the system". what does this mean? [12:58] tensorpudding: so i need to get a tarboll [12:58] is there some *.mov 2 *avi convert program on ubuntu, please? [12:58] OttifantSir: You could learn it on a free webhost. [12:58] i dont like to install webserver cos there's too many parameters and configuration [12:58] uwsb: how is aptitude blocked, but IRC is not? [12:58] chalcedny, ffmpeg ? [12:58] i'm afrraid one mistake might invite hacker [12:59] HiddenKnowledge: Which do you recommend? [12:59] OneMillionDollar: You can have the webserver bind to localhost only [12:59] tensorpudding: really don't know but sudo aptitude or apt-get is not going through the network [12:59] OneMillionDollar: Or put it behind a NAT, or run a firewall [12:59] uwsb: what's the error? [12:59] OttifantSir: I think that would count as advertising, haha. Since I help running it. [12:59] bazhang, thanks :) [13:00] OttifantSir: Just google "free webhost" [13:00] OneMillionDollar: I don't believe it's difficult to configure Apache to that effect, it probably only involves changing a single line [13:00] !lamp | OneMillionDollard [13:00] OneMillionDollard: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

After that, I generate a .deb by issuing "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" and install this by using dpkg. So, I'm allready using apt and it's database, but somehow apt do [13:02] esn't recognise this when it comes to updates.

[13:04] thter: unmount it [13:04] thter: mount -l [13:04] jrib, done [13:04] MarcRichter: there's something in apt which will let you exclude packages from updating but I can't remember it since I've never used it - I'm sure bazhang or someone will know [13:05] jrib, it was unmounted [13:05] moetunes, pinning [13:05] thter: give more details then [13:05] !pinning [13:05] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others.

[13:07] jrib: It doesn't recognise that they ARE allready installed and up-to-date, but custom-build. [13:07] MarcRichter: apt installs the latest version available in the repositories, if that's not what you want, you need to tell it so [13:07] jrib, http://mazeoflies.com/2008/06/09/ubuntu-hard-drive-encryption-with-external-key [13:07] MarcRichter: pastebin "apt-cache policy PACKAGE" [13:07] thter: you're sure the drive is not in use?

[13:16] jrib;how can I use wildcards, such as Virtual*, since I don't know anymore which package exactly I installed [13:16] paste bin is much cleaner then just plunking up the words in channel [13:16] thter, its mounted === adante_ is now known as adante [13:16] thter: if you run: mount are trhere partitions mounted on the drive? [13:17] bazhang, it is not mounted [13:17] ilu-tg: I don't think you can there, but you can with dpkg -l and then use that output to determine the name of the package [13:17] ActionParsnip, no [13:17] thter: this isnt a solution, rather a way to bypass the proble. boot up with a livecd and fix your partitions, that will most certainly work [13:18] thter: if you boot to live cd then you can definately do it there :) [13:18] im on a live cd now [13:18] thter: fdisk -l [13:19] thter: mount -l ? [13:19] yeah that returns nothing [13:19] mount -l i already did and the drive in question is not listed there [13:20] are you disks sd0 hd0 md0 [13:20] thter: fdisk need root prv [13:20] try sudo mdadm --stop /dev/xd0 [13:20] jrib; thanks [13:20] room, if it's listed in fdisk does that mean it's mounted? [13:21] thter: I don't think so [13:22] <[KS]> anyone care to suggest good realtime statistics for ubuntu server? (by statistics I mean server monitoring, cpu, ram, hdd, network, database, ...) [13:22] thter: cat /etc/mtab [13:22] thter: no [13:22] Uh. [13:22] pid usually tells you processes [13:22] thter: what's the filesystem for the drive in question [13:22] [KS]: info !cacti [13:23] What do those things do if I may ask? The floodbots? [13:23] flood... bots hm [13:23] HiddenKnowledge, prevent excess flood [13:23] HiddenKnowledge: they flood, don't you see? [13:23] jrib: That's what I thought.. [13:23] <[KS]> greppy: Isn't cacti kinda "too big" [13:23] HiddenKnowledge: they do more good than bad in the long run though :) [13:23] you didn't say you wanted it small :) [13:24] [KS]: htop, iptraf, itop [13:24] <[KS]> Ideally, there would be web version of htop [13:24] jrib: Ok.. [13:24] <[KS]> :) [13:24] [KS], iotop ? [13:24] [KS]: munin perhaps? [13:24] <[KS]> munin? [13:24] [KS]: phpsysinfo [13:25] [KS]: Sample munin: http://munin.ping.uio.no/ping.uio.no/colosseum.ping.uio.no.html [13:25] [KS]: Its a set of perl scripts that populate rrd graphs. I use a custom set for tracking IRC stuff. [13:26] <[KS]> Pici thanks [13:26] thter: mount -l will list all mounted filesystems, I wonder if there's problems with your filesystem [13:26] <[KS]> but I think I'll go with greppy's suggestion since I am already verse in php [13:26] room can i pm you [13:26] thter: ok [13:27] room: get a room! [13:27] room is a room [13:27] that's what she said [13:27] Stellarium-: haha [13:27] Cool ontopic chatter. [13:27] !ot [13:27] #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! [13:28] you're just angry you were chastized earlier [13:30] bazhang , moetunes : Thanks for the pinning - tip. This solved another problem I had , but seems to not be the solution I need for PHP here :) [13:30] Stellarium-: how chastized? [13:30] when trying to upgrade from jaunty to karmic i get lots of 404s.. for instance on libio-compress-perl/libio-compress-perl_2.020-0ubuntu1_all.deb [13:30] ActionParsnip: in the .conf of /etc [13:30] i'm issuing do-release-upgrade [13:30] I mean chmoded [13:31] i've a problem i cant watch youtube videos [13:31] Stellarium-: ;) [13:31] zamba, 9.04 is EOL 10/10.. maybe it was taken off on the first? [13:31] zamba did you sudo apt-get update first? [13:31] shadi: i assume you have either installed flash player, or are using a web browser which supports
