histobwRavencl: Dulak memory management is not the only concern and not the only advantage00:00
basix-SteelPangolin, ok thanks :) you should write a microsoft to linux software transitioning guide ;)00:00
Dulakhisto: it's the one issue most likely to matter to him00:00
Nutubyes.. but when i try to install that version, it crash00:00
histoNutub: what is the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep clflush00:00
Dulakhisto: semantics won't change the fact that he won't see much difference with 2g of ram between the 200:00
histoDulak: yes a user would. I don't understand where you are thinking they wont.00:01
pc-centralhttp://pc-central.zymichost.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2500:01
Nutubhisto.. i did not understand00:01
pc-centralwww.pc-central.co.uk00:01
bwRavenclhisto: i know, but for me it sounds like he is a beginner and for most of the time x86 seems still to be better supported when it comes to 3rd party apps00:01
histoNutub: on the live cd if you open a terminal and type that command it will tell you if you have a 64bit or 32bit cpu.00:02
Dulakhisto: I have run them both, on multiple machines.  They don't feel any different at all when you are using them.00:02
histoNutub: I would install 64b it if you have that capabilbity. THere is no reason not to.00:02
pc-centralwww.pc-central.co.uk00:02
Nutubok and what command is_00:02
mobasherDulak=}} yea u're right..i'm running 2g with 64...can't really tell the difference..it's quite smooth00:02
histoDulak: it's not about feeling different. Once you start actually start compiling or doin something processor intensive you will see a differrence.00:02
pc-centralhttp://pc-central.zymichost.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2500:03
dORSYhi. i have just installed Kubuntu to a separate partition, i wanted to use my ubuntu encrypted /home partiton with it, but after boot, X does not start and when I try to log in from tty it is telling me can't cd to /home/dorsy00:03
Dulakhisto: besides the fact that flash is buggy on 64 bit, as well as multiple other libraries.  You do not help a noob recommending 64bit unless they really need it00:03
SteelPangolinbasix-: there's probably a wiki page somewhere for Ubuntu, but http://www.opensourcewindows.org/ is a good place to start, since 99% of those projects have Linux versions00:03
histoDulak: flash is not buggy. You install flash squared the new 64bit flash.00:03
basix-SteelPangolin, k i'll check it out00:03
histoDulak: and the more people that use 64bit the better it gets. Suggesting people to use 32bit is just not good advice.00:03
Dulakhisto: it crashes every third website that has crappy flash ads00:04
histoDulak: perhaps you should install 10.2 64bit. I have no problems here.00:04
pc-centralARCH LINUX FUCKS UBUNTU UP THE ARSE00:04
songerpc-central: no escribas todo en mayusculas, va contra las normas. La proxima vez seras expulsado.00:04
Dulakhisto: I am running it, it's not great.  You are not helping noobs telling them to go bleeding edge when they don't need it.00:04
histoDulak: google flash squared its on the adobe site.00:04
Nutubso.. i dont know who is right or not00:04
mobasherpc-central=}} chill buddy...00:04
histoNutub: let me find you a link explaining the differences and you can decide.00:04
Dulakhisto: I have it installed, it's buggy.00:04
SteelPangolinNutub: unless you like to file bug reports in your spare time, i recommend 32bit00:05
DulakNutub: you have no reason to run 64 bit, run 32 bit and it will be smoother for you, I promise00:05
=== Shadows`away is now known as SoulShadow
SpoferHi all, is there a way to update 10.04 to 10.10 without losing all my data?00:06
DulakNutub: you can always go 64 bit later after you are more experienced00:06
Nutubok ok i think ill install x32 so00:06
mobasherSpofer=}} back up your data first :)00:06
histoNutub: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit00:06
dORSYany advice how to get my encrypted home directory working on the other install?00:06
john38Where do you access the simple scan program?00:06
histoDulak: yeah try encoding a video on your 32bit machine vs. your 64bit and look at the results00:06
Spofermobasher :) thought so.... so i can't just update some packages?00:06
SteelPangolini imagine that would depend very much on the processor, codec, and how the encoder was built, histo00:07
histoNutub: basically boils down to what you plan on using the system for?00:07
Nutubhisto... i have to hear the majority00:07
mobasherSpofer=}} well you can update..but always good idea to keep a backup just incase $hit hits the fan :)00:07
Nutuband all the people say is better the x3200:07
john38Where do you access the simple scan program?00:08
bwRavenclnutub: i don't think you would see any big difference in using eiter x86 or x64 ubuntu, just maybe if u are going to install applications or older games that don't come as a package for ubuntu you might face problems with the x64 version, so if u are a beginner and you only have 2gbs of ram i recommend using 32bit00:08
histoNutub: do what you want it doesn't matter to me. I just feel that's horrible advice00:08
mobasher64 bit is much better i believe...00:08
edbianbwRavencl: There is no such thing as x64.  It's called amd64.00:08
histoNutub: there are no problems with the 64bit version. Their feers are related to older ones when 64bit first came out.00:08
Spofermobasher ok thanks a bunch, going to upgrade now. Is there something i should know? (00:08
dORSYLinux amd64 2.6.35-22-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Sun Oct 10 09:26:05 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux no problems at all00:08
histoNutub: if I where you i'd do some reading on the forums and make a decision on what you've learned.00:09
edbianNutub: 64bit is stable and offers minimal speed increases.  The point of it is to allow more than 3.2Gb of ram.00:09
bwRavencledbian: sorry - but nutub started calling it x64 so i tried to not confuse him by starting to use another name for it00:09
edbianbwRavencl: Ahhh00:09
mobasherSpofer=}} I haven't upgraded as yet so can't tell you much..just read the docs and see what changes are there00:09
histoNutub: not listening to people on here who have no idea of the difference, quite obviously.00:09
histoedbian: that is wrong00:09
edbianNutub: x86 refers to i386, i586, and i686.  It's actually ix8600:09
edbianhisto: What is wrong?00:09
cantomahey guys, I just replaced hardy by lucid in sources.list and typed apt-get update; apt-get upgrade. Will this laptop survive?00:10
Dulakhisto: i'm being a jerk because new users need the smoothest experience, not because you are not technically correct.  It's about converting the user to linux and keeping them, not having everything be just as fast as possible.00:10
dORSYcantoma, why didn't you made dist-upgrade?00:10
john38Where do you access the simple scan program?00:10
SteelPangolinedbian: this might be drifting into OT material but does Ubuntu even run on sub-i686 (Pentium Pro) architectures?00:10
edbianNutub: amd64 is the name that amd gave to 64 bit architecture it invented00:10
kermitre rsync, why would i ever not use --append --append-verify?00:10
Dulakhisto: after 3-6 months he'll be much less likely to dump if he has problems than he would right away00:10
histoedbian: that it only effects memory. I again ask you to run a game or encode a video on a 32bit machine. THen boot to 64bit kernel and loook at the difference.00:10
edbianSteelPangolin: Ubuntu runs fine on any system that is ix8600:10
mobasherjohn38=}} you can install XSane00:11
histoDulak: There are no problems with 64bit00:11
Nutubbut my proccessor is supossed to work i 32 and 6400:11
dORSYcantoma,  do-release-upgrade is for you00:11
cantomadORSY, well it look to be installing stuff00:11
histoNutub: correct either will work00:11
edbianhisto: I have no experience doing that.  I trust you though00:11
Nutubbut it was impossible to install the 32 bit version00:11
scrtshow can I start ubuntu installation without graphics? I have old notebook which has only 256mb ram and that installation hangs up00:11
scrtsit was possible on debian00:11
histoscrts: the alternate iso00:11
Spoferok, thanks a bunch. cya laer00:11
Nutuband know i tried 64 and it crash when was at middle00:11
bwRavenclscrts: use the alternate installation cd00:11
SteelPangolinscrts: there's an "alternate installer" disc image00:11
Dulakhisto: i have problems with it all the time, your single experience does not make it a good choice for someone to linux, and you will lose us more users than gain when you do it your way.00:12
john38mobasher, ok00:12
sinisterstufI'm using a Live CD and trying to access my homefolder but it's password encrypted, how can I access ti as me>?00:12
scrtsgod damn, no empty cd/dvd left00:12
cantomadORSY, so practically what is the difference between apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade?00:12
histoNutub: did you check the cd for errors00:12
=== lab is now known as yohan14
scrtsimpossible with original one?00:12
Dulakhisto: always support the user for the best experience, not your own00:12
carandraughow can I change how the time is displayed on 10.10? I used to right click on the clock (top panel) and have the choice to show up the weather and the date. Now, I can't do that00:12
Nutubi think that could be so im downloading again00:12
histoDulak: I beg to differ and thing your problems may be related to something else. Perhaps your single experience and giving bad advice is not helping.00:12
bwRavenclscrts: do you have some usb flash drive?00:12
Nutubthe 64bit xD00:12
scrtsbwRavencl also no :|00:13
dORSYcantoma, dist-upgrade tries "smart" resolving dependencies00:13
histoDulak: your suggestions are based on your own experiences. Your point makes absolutely no sense and is based on old information.00:13
daysahola alguen me podria decir como se usa esto?????00:13
john38mobasher, simple scan or Xsane do not detect scanner00:13
dORSYcantoma, do you do an upgrade between releases?00:13
SteelPangolin!es > daysa00:13
ubottudaysa, please see my private message00:13
cantomadORSY, well its my first time doing this00:14
Dulakhisto: you have one experience you are preaching, I spend lots of time in here and see many issues with 64 bit, hence it is not noob friendly and shouldn't be recommended unless they need it for a specific reason.  You are preaching bleeding edge to people that need the most stable experience.\00:14
mobasherjohn38=}} https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/printing/C/scanning.html00:14
Dulakhisto: You are net supporting users, you are preaching your views.  Big difference.00:14
cantomadORSY, it is actually giving errors regarding docbooks00:14
cantomamassivelly00:14
Nutubhisto.. do you think is better if i create a usb stick instead of cd?00:15
dORSYcantoma, and are you just making your system up-to-date or updating from lucid to meerkat?00:15

dORSYcantoma, you should have done do-release upgrade00:15
dORSYcantoma, you should have done do-release-upgrade00:16
histoDulak: and your not imposing your views?? Are you high? You are recomending a crippled kernel for his hardware.00:16
Nutubdulak calm down... ill try it and if i have a problem i will use x8600:16

cantomad0RSY, well in the worst case it will be formatted .. but it is fun to see this00:16

cantomadORSY, it looks like the matrix00:17
Dulakhisto: You are recommending a kernel that has known issues with multiple libraries, that leads to new linux users going back to windows.   My way eases them into it, and is SURE to be as stable as possible for them.00:17
Nutubduring the instalation.. it crashed when was copying00:17
Nutubin the 55% xD00:17
histoDulak: really name a library that has an issue currently?00:17

histo!samba | U-b-u-n-t-u00:21
ubottuU-b-u-n-t-u: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.00:21

ArianHThow can I install ubuntu without grub?00:22
Daw-Relilo00:22
dORSYcantoma, note that ubuntu does not comapible with debian. you will get into a "dependency hell"00:22
SteelPangolinArianHT: extlinux00:22
SteelPangolinbut it's not pretty00:22
histoSteelPangolin: yes as long as you are checking the same data.00:22
Jordan_UArianHT: Why don't you want grub, and how do you plan to boot Ubuntu?00:23
cantomad0RSY, yes but if i want to have really out of the box packages .. is there something like that for ubuntu?00:23
dORSYcantoma, that is becouse a lot of packages have different names/versions/etc00:23
histoSteelPangolin: you have to keep in mind that when an iso is burned you have to not check the free space on the disk.00:23
ArianHTJordan_U: I'm gonna dual-boot it with some other linux os.00:23
dORSYcantoma, yes. do a release upgrade to 11.04 :)00:23
SteelPangolinJordan_U: closely related question (to the reason i'm using extlinux on one box) does Grub2 have serial console support?00:23
SteelPangolinthe Grub2 wiki is no help whatsoever00:23
Jordan_USteelPangolin: Yes.00:23
Daw-ReDo any of you know what driver to install on the x64 distro of ubuntu to get the ethernet to stabalize...its cutting on and off...then a cmos flash brings it back up agian00:23
histoSteelPangolin: but it checks the data bit for bit and runs it through an algorythm to give youa checksome. It's basically a digital fingerprint.00:24
histoSteelPangolin: wow sorry for the typos00:24
SteelPangolinhisto: oh right free space, that would be an issue00:24
histoDaw-Re: what type of network card?00:24
cantomadORSY, thats natty right?00:24

LxndrAfter upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10, my Firefox began to fail in producing sound from websites. Can anyone help me with this, WITHOUT suggesting I switch browsers? I'm trying to solve *this* problem, not sidestep it.01:25
boldfilterjohnswr: Im still on 10.10. Just had to reenable gnome.01:25
SaRyboldfilter, !see bug 293288 Comment #5 ..Maybe this will help01:25
histoLxndr: does sound work in other apps?01:26
boldfilterSaRy: Where?01:26
Lxndrhisto: Yes. It works in Chrome, and other installed browsers. Simply not in Firefox.01:26
LoJuRuLxndr: did you attempt to uninstall and reinstall Firefox?01:26
histoLxndr: huh... thats really odd. Both chrome and firefox should be using the same sound system.01:26
LxndrLoJuRu: I did.01:26

vinnyptake*04:08
sporkboyfor the record for the people I've been talking to here over the last week: my x boots and looks fine now, but still says the driver isn't activated and google earth won't load.04:09
Samus_Aransporkboy: sounds like it's using a default VESA driver, rather than an accelerated driver04:10
New2UbuntuThis one sounds pretty good, are there any pitfalls to using this option ?  "aptitude safe-upgrade will not upgrade packages if relied dependencies have not been updated to the required version."04:11
Samus_Aransporkboy: if you run this command in a terminal, what does it list: lspci|grep -i vga04:11
blakkheimNew2Ubuntu: i prefer full-upgrade, but use whichever you like the most04:11
sporkboySamus_Aran, let me "install" lspci first. *rolls eyes*04:12
jukIm missing /dev/eth0 help04:12
Samus_Aransporkboy: it shouldn't need to be installed, I've never seen even a stripped down Linux distro without it?04:12
Samus_Aranwell, no, my router didn't have it.04:13
Samus_Aransporkboy: if you know the exact chipset of your video card, you can tell me that instead04:13
sporkboySamus_Aran, hence the quotes. my apt got messed up somehow and it thinks things aren't installed. I keep having to install packages that are actually on my system.04:13
sporkboySamus_Aran, it's an nvidia geforce 7150m04:14
Samus_Aransporkboy: if you just run "lspci" you're saying it doesn't find it?04:14
dewwhrm04:14
Samus_Aransporkboy: what about: /usr/bin/lspci04:14
sporkboysporkboy@Tak:~$ lspci | grep -i vga04:14
sporkboyThe program 'lspci' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:04:14
sporkboysudo apt-get install pciutils04:14
fr0stbytei spent a few hours installing a bunch of applets, themes, cairo, AMD drivers, and stuff. now my user gets a black black screen at login. i dont think its X server, i think its gnome. is that a valid assumption? i think i should figure out how to disable gnome04:15
sporkboySamus_Aran, it's just something weird that happened on my computer that I'm having to work out slowly. program's there, but it doesn't get seen until I tell it to install it.04:15
Samus_Aransporkboy: sounds like your $PATH may be broken04:15
Samus_Aransporkboy: does it work when you specify the full path as /usr/bin/lspci ?04:16
sporkboySamus_Aran: did aptitude install pciutils. now I get: 00:12.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C67 [GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M] (rev a2)04:16
Samus_Aransporkboy: and which version of Ubuntu do you have installed?04:16
jukis it new ubuntu feature no /dev/eth0 ?04:16
sporkboySamus_Aran, it's not the path... like... I had to dpkg -i dpkg at one point. and this all started on upgrade to 10.10 from 10.0404:17
cfeddejuk: not deliberately.04:17
Exploiter_Indi m trying to install icons from art.gnome.com but when applying, my folder icon is not changing..04:17
Exploiter_Indam i doing something wrong?04:17
Samus_Aranfr0stbyte: if it is black, then it is probably an empty Xorg server with the default background set to black (that's the default in Ubuntu, I believe).  e.g. nothing is being loaded onto X.  do you get as far as the graphical login manager (GDM, KDM, XDM) ?04:17
Exploiter_Indanyone?04:18
vinnyp<izinucs>: I don't seem to need this04:18
vinnypas it is abosolete04:18
Samus_Aransporkboy: I have had quite a few issues with upgrades on Ubuntu.  I usually just back up /etc and /home and reinstall fresh, to avoid headaches.  :/  sometimes the upgrades are smooth, other times horribly broken04:18
jukcfedde: just wondering, Im missing it04:18
Samus_Aransporkboy: are you in Gnome now, or in text mode or what?04:20
cfeddejuk: is there a definition for it in /etc/network/interfaces?04:20
sporkboySamus_Aran, I'm in gnome. I just can't get to google earth or the nvidia settings.04:20
jukcfedde: yes, eth004:20
cfeddejuk: did you change networking somehow? new card, new VM something like that?04:21
quiescensjuk: there isn't normally a device file for eth0 in /dev do you just mean it isn't showing up in ifconfig etc?04:22
Samus_Aransporkboy: do you have a package "nvidia-glx-185" available?  that one on my version of Ubuntu says that it supports your card04:22
jukcfedde: no, not really04:22
sandkinghi04:22
jukquiescens: no ifconfig have it04:22
sporkboySamus_Aran, sure do. and I don't know that I tried that one specifically. I'll give it a shot.04:23
cfeddejuk: um.. Maybe I'm guessing wrong. did it used to be there? is it listed in the boot time dmesg?04:23
quiescensjuk: well there isn't normally a file for network interfaces in /dev04:23
sandkingdoes anyone know if i can change scale of brightness of my netbook display? (the darkest level is still to bright for me)04:23
devzeroin 10.04 server, does anyone know how to get init to _NOT_ clear the screen before showing the login prompt? it's not in /etc/issue or tty*.conf as far as I can tell04:23
devzeroanyone?04:23
Samus_Aransporkboy: you will need to restart Xorg after it installed, rebooting may be the simplest.  you can also have Ubuntu attempt to automatically pick the correct nVIDIA driver for you, using Gnome's: System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager (or similar name, I forget)04:24
AndIrc__Hey04:24
jukcfedde: I don't remember I think so, yes listed04:24
jukquiescens: you too, don't have it?04:25
sporkboySamus_Aran, there's nothing new in Additional Drivers after installing.04:25
cfeddejuk: so does it show up in ifconfig?04:25
bytesaberhow do you set partition type Linux Raid Auto in parted?04:25
Samus_Aransporkboy: it should update your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.  but if it does not, you can edit it and change the line with: Driver "nv"    ..to..   Driver "nvidia"04:25
jukcfedde: yes04:25
Samus_Aransporkboy: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf04:25
sporkboySamus_Aran, it doesn't, but nvidia-xconfig does it.04:25
cfeddejuk: then I'm confused.  What are you saying is missing? a file in /dev?04:25
cfeddethere is not normaly one there.04:26
jukcfedde: yes I meant '/dev/eth0'04:26
Samus_Aransporkboy: okay.  once you have the xorg.conf updated properly, and the "nvidia" kernel module is loaded (you can check by doing: grep nvidia /proc/modules) then you can do: service gdm restart04:26
Samus_Aransporkboy: or reboot.04:26
cfeddeI failed to read your question correctly.  There typicaly is not a /dev/eth004:26
LxndrTo whom it may concern: Earlier I was having sound issues (specifically with Firefox) and was working with several people, including CountDuckula (who appears to be no longer in the room) and baba_ganoush, who still is. I just restarted after performing some of their suggestions, and now I have no sound *everywhere*, not just in Firefox. Please, help!04:27
Samus_Aransporkboy: or logout of Gnome, then do: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, to kill off Xorg and it will reload with nVIDIA drivers.04:27
sporkboySamus_Aran, is this the line I need in /proc/modules: nvidia 11083997 0 - Live 0xffffffffa029e000 (P)04:27
Samus_Aransporkboy: yes.  :)04:28
sporkboyok, gonna try reloading.04:28
Exploiter_Indany good site for installing new icon packs in ubuntu 10.10 ?04:28
Samus_Aransporkboy: good luck04:28
Ifewalter_12I upgraded to maverick from lucid, now network manger doesn't work04:28
Ifewalter_12wicd doesn't work either04:29
fr0stbytegah would there be an easy way to reinstall graphics and gnome to default without losing all my applets and such04:29
jukcfedde: wiresharks says There are no interfaces on which a capture can be done, I got confused04:29
Samus_AranExploiter_Ind: gnome-look.org and kde-look.org are the best ones I know of.  basically follow the install instructions from their sites.  I have noticed that many of the packages on those sites which say .tar.gz are actually misnamed .tar.bz files... so perhaps you will need to see if the icon maker messed that up.04:29
deenaHi04:29
cfeddejuk: same problem with tcpdump?04:30
Samus_AranExploiter_Ind: if the icon pack was made for a different version of Gnome or KDE, it may not replace all the correct icon names, so check to see if it mentions what version(s) of Gnome or KDE it is compatible with04:30
Exploiter_IndSamus_Aran: i tried gnaom look but, icon file named stilllife is not working properly.. it not showig.. new folder icon.. i m just wondering whats wrong..!!04:30
deenais having some issue with nautilus elementary? after i installed my system is not responding when i try to open folders04:30
jukcfedde: yes, no suitable device found04:30
LxndrMy sound was working. Now apparently I have no sound card installed. How can I reinstall this sound card?04:31
Samus_AranExploiter_Ind: which version of Gnome are you using?  and which URL did you download the icon pack from?04:31
Exploiter_Inddefault for 10.1004:31
userx64I am trying to enable root login on 10.10. Please spare me your software-political views on this. I have updated the root password with passwd, and I have unlocked the password with the -u option with passwd.04:31
cfeddejuk: sudo tcpdump shows that error?04:31
Samus_AranLxndr: most likely it is just muted04:31
userx64I have verified that the password is functional by using the su command.04:31
Samus_AranLxndr: try loading a terminal and running the command: alsamixer04:31
LxndrSamus_Aran: It is not! I am getting a 'no sound card' error.04:32
userx64I still cannot log in as root with the GUI.04:32
Exploiter_Indhttp://art.gnome.org/download/themes/icon/1111/ICON-StillLife.tar.bz204:32
Exploiter_IndSamus_ this one04:32
Samus_AranLxndr: check to see if any of the controls have an "M" below them, that means muted.  use arrows to go to it and press "M" to unmute04:32
firefly2442Does the 10.10 kernel support wireless N?04:32
userx64Please someone help me I'm losing hair over this.04:32
Samus_AranLxndr: okay, which soundchip?  lspci|grep audio04:33
Samus_AranExploiter_Ind: checking.  :)04:33
jukcfedde: hehe, here we go, thanks04:33
Exploiter_Induserx64, is login out into graphical login is not working?04:33
LxndrSamus_Aran: I run alsamixer, and I get 'cannot open mixer: connection refused'04:33
cfeddejuk: cool!04:33
LxndrSamus_Aran: when I do the lspci|grep audio, it comes up with nothing04:33
LxndrSamus_Aran: It *used* to say "00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller"04:34
userx64Exploiter_Ind: You mean when I click log off, in order to log in as another user?04:34
Exploiter_Induserx64, yes i think you can loggin into root04:34
LxndrSamus_Aran: (at least according to my scrollback)04:34
Exploiter_Induserx64, not sure.. bty04:34
Boardinary /join #reddit-ubuntu04:34
quiescenslxndr: you should probably be using grep -i for that if you aren't already04:35
userx64Exploiter_Ind: I don't seem to have a log off.04:35
Samus_AranLxndr: if it doesn't show up in lspci, there is probably nothing that can be done from the OS.  if it is a card built into the motherboard, I would recommend rebooting and looking in the BIOS settings to see if "Onboard audio" is turned off, and turn it on.  if it's a PCI card, take it out and put it into another slot04:35
Exploiter_Indok04:35
ajsiehow do i install deb packages on ubuntu server command line?04:35
Exploiter_IndSamus_Aran: did it worked(icon) ??04:35
Samus_Aranquiescens: in this case, not needed.  the exact wording is "Multimedia audio controller"04:35
rwwajsie: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb for deb files that aren't in a repository04:35
LxndrSamus_Aran: it is built into the motherboard. it was working before a most recent reboot.04:35
LxndrSamus_Aran: Which makes me think it has something to do with the OS.04:35
quiescenssamus_aran: wouldn't that depend on their chipset?04:35
hasek79how do i repair a package that was cancelled in an unfriendly way? the software center wont let me install anything it comes up with this error msg04:36
quiescensor do we alredy know what chipset they have04:36
userx64Exploiter_Ind: Do you have any suggestions beyond seeing if I am about to log out of the current user?04:36
userx64about = able04:36
ajsierww: thanks!04:36
sporkboySamus_Aran, rebooted straight to terminal login.04:36
Exploiter_Indtrial and error best way to learn new things.. !!04:36
Samus_AranExploiter_Ind: I don't have Gnome here, but the icon pack looks fine.  it has the proper folders.  however, it is not a complete icon pack, it replaces many icons, but doesn't have all of them.  are you sure it is supposed to include a folder icon?04:37
Samus_AranLxndr: if it doesn't show up in lspci, then the BIOS doesn't know about it04:37
userx64I am so frustrated. I clearly have a password for the root user, but the graphical login screen refuses to allow me to login with it.04:37
quiescens143322 <Lxndr> Samus_Aran: It *used* to say "00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller"04:38
LxndrSamus_Aran: Okay. I will point out it showed up before the most recent reboot.04:38
quiescenstheirs clearly used to be Audio04:38
Exploiter_IndSamus_Aran, yes most icons are replaced but most needed folder icons are not..04:38
Samus_AranLxndr: try rebooting, if that doesn't work, check the BIOS settings.  perhaps the battery is dead and it forgot the BIOS settings04:38
quiescensand not audio04:38
jungehi04:38
quiescensbut hey, ignore me04:38
LxndrSamus_Aran: Okay, rebooting again. I hope you're still here when I come back.04:38
junge#join slackware04:38
Samus_AranExploiter_Ind: okay, you'll just need to find another icon pack that has a folder icon you want.  it might also be the size, that icon pack has no 64x64 icons at all.  it only has 128x128 and sizes smaller than 64x6404:39
sporkboyuserx64, I don't think you're supposed to be able to log into your gui as root. I'm pretty sure that's a security feature.04:39
Exploiter_Indok04:39
fr0stbyteis there a way to run "apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg" without uninstalling ubuntu-desktop?04:40
userx64sporkboy: It's not recommended and I know the developers have not enabled it by default but I have never been outright restricted from it. That would be so Windows-like.04:40
jjmwood1I need help installing ubuntu04:40
Samus_Aranquiescens: okay, I have never seen that wording, and I've looked at hundreds of lspci outputs on dozens of computers over 10 years, Linux 2.2 through 2.6.  most likely that is from "lshw" or another similar app that is similar to lspci.  or maybe /proc/pci, which used to exist.04:40
Samus_Aranquiescens: or maybe I am wrong.  that sometimes happens, too.  :)04:41
fr0stbyte:O04:41
sporkboyuserx64, why exactly do you want to log in as root? you probably don't need to do that, and if you do, you should be able to get out of x and then startx as root.04:41
jukcan use wireshark to monitor traffic on the remote?04:42
jjmwood1Im using ubuntu right now i just need it on my laptop and it just boots in command line. Someone please help04:42
Samus_Aranfr0stbyte: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package which lists a bunch of packages, so if you remove one of its dependencies, you also remove it.  if you're just doing something temporary, then you can use dpkg and have it ignore dependencies04:42
rohananyone noticed that wifi on ubuntu 10.10 is hellishly slow with atheros cards?04:42
PratikPateli did04:42
cfeddejjmwood1: which version did you install?04:42
jjmwood110.1004:42

Samus_Aranrohan: my father has an Atheros card on an old Ubuntu version, and it never goes over 100KB/sec04:43
rohanPratikPatel: what did you do to solve it?04:43
MTecknologyI've enjoyed openbox for a long while... but I've decided I'm starting to grow tired of it..... Now I need to figure out the replacement....04:43
fr0stbytethanks Samus, im not sure how to do that dpkg & ignore dependencies, but im googling it04:43
Samus_Aranwell, 150KB/sec sometimes...04:43
cfeddejjmwood1: what happens when you run startx from the command line?04:43
rohanSamus_Aran: any solution?04:43
jjmwood1i used the minial cd to do it04:43
MTecknologyThis is gonna be hard..04:43
PratikPatelrohan, I didn't04:43
rohanPratikPatel: so..? changed the card?04:43
Samus_Aranrohan: I just bought an ethernet extension cord for him...  :/  sorry.04:43
userx64sporkboy: You're right I don't. I guess I just prefer security risks and voiding accident insurance for convenience sake. That's a great suggestion but I plan on using root login regular. The fact is, I make a backup image of my system and restore it bi-weekly.04:43
PratikPatelrohan, nope04:43

ubottuWireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs04:43

ajsieshould i install shellinabox_2.10-1_amd64.deb or shellinabox_2.10-1_i386.deb for my Ubuntu server?04:44
cfeddejjmwood1: you probably just need to install gnome.04:44
Samus_Aranrohan: there are several different drivers that work, so perhaps go compile the latest version from one of the projects that supports it.  there were two when I was setting it up for my father, one of them worked, the other I wasn't able to get it to do anything.04:44
Samus_Aranrohan: by "worked", I mean 150KB/sec max.04:44
PratikPatelrohan, I noticed weired things the issues only happend in some networks.04:44
jjmwood1How would i do that?04:44
rohangah that's crap04:44
* islington is away: Gone away for now04:44
* islington is back.04:45
cfeddejjmwood1: probably 'sudo apt-get install gnome'04:45
PratikPatelrohan, i think it's a driver issue, because on those network my wireless adapter performed better in other not ideal operating systems.04:46
cfeddejjmwood1: that'll take a while to finish.04:46
Samus_Aransporkboy: can you pastebin or /dcc send me the /tmp/info.txt output from this command: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf /var/log/Xorg.0.log /proc/modules > /tmp/info.txt04:46

sporkboyuserx64, I guess I don't understand what advantage that would have. afaik, the display managers have never let you log in as root. I guess you could ditch your display manager and log in on the console, then startx.04:47
jjmwood1I'm installing X11 right now.04:47
cjacHi ubuntu community: I'm having a problem with what looks like a hard drive corruption. My netbook fails to boot normally. I think a simple fsck will fix the problem, but when I try to boot up into a live environment (10.04 made by unetbootin) that also fails. I turned off the 'splash' boot argument and I see errors I think showing a failure to mount /dev/sda. How can I boot up completely ignoring the harddrive so I can fix it?04:47
Chaos2358can some one please tell me if there is a music organizer that will search the web for missing track info and correct it automatically???04:47
Samus_Aranrohan: it's definitely a driver issue.  it is the usual problem of hardware manufacturers worrying about "trade secrets" and patents and such, and refusing to give out specs for their hardware.  reverse engineering wireless hardware is not very easy04:47
rohanChaos2358: amarok04:47
rohanSamus_Aran: atheros driver is completely open04:47

Samus_Aranajsie: Linux Standards Base04:50
ajsieokay04:50
rww!lsb | ajsie04:50
ubottuajsie: The Linux Standard Base, or LSB, is a joint project by several Linux distributions under the organizational structure of The Free Standards Group to standardize the internal structure of Linux-based operating systems. The LSB is based on the POSIX specification, the Single UNIX Specification, and several other open standards, but extends them in certain areas.04:50
fr0stbyteSamus, if you read above im pretty screwed anyway.. my user doesnt load desktop, freezes when it gets to my gnome bar. safemode and other users work fine04:51

Lxndrsamus: The only ubuntu install CD I have is 8.04, and I have no CD burner. Should I do it?04:52
Samus_AranLxndr: I am guessing that it is a hardware issue, rather than a software one.  if it *does* work, then most likely an upgrade to the Linux kernel caused the disappearance04:52

Samus_Aranizinucs: if you go to a new screen and run the command "read" and press PageUp, what code is displayed?    mine is: ^[[5~04:54
cfeddejjmwood1: did install of X11 succeed?04:54
izinucsSamus_Aran: actually working now :/.. weird04:55

cfeddejjmwood1: probably not.04:55
cfeddenow when you run startx you might see something.04:55
wisevoyagerHi! everybody!!! good day..04:55
Samus_Aranizinucs: irssi also has options for specifying how far up/down to scroll on each press of PageUp / PageDown.  I use 3 lines at a time, as otherwise I tend to lose track of where I was reading from.  :)04:56
jjmwood1I tried the Live CD that I used for this computer but when i click install Its just sits there and doesnt do anything04:56
cfeddejjmwood1: odd.04:56
Samus_Aranizinucs: if you want to change the scrollback options, check: /set scroll04:56
izinucsSamus_Aran: yea.. I've been using it for a while but really haven't needed to "dive" into it.04:57

jjmwood1Im going to try the live cd again04:57
Samus_Aranizinucs: or just go "/set" by itself to see all configuration options, there are tons.  :p04:57
Samus_Aranizinucs: also "/help" to get a list of commands, or e.g. "/help set" to get help on that irssi command.  very easy to figure things out using /set and /help.  I love irssi.  :)04:58
spinningcompassNFS server exports /srv/nfs successfully. Clients can mount and read/write the folder. Files can be shared. However, /srv/nfs/movies is the mountpoint of an external hard drive. The contents of contents of /srv/nfs/movies are not visible to clients, although the directory itself is visible. Does NFS automatically stop clients from viewing the contents of mountpoints?04:58
LxndrSamus_Aran: I did a boot into an earlier kernel, and sound is now working. Any tips on making sure this becomes the 'default' kernel?04:58
Samus_Aranspinningcompass: yes04:59
sporkboySamus_Aran, I think I found the actual problem in my kernel log: http://pastebin.com/c7Xb1N9S line 842-ish04:59
fr0stbyteheres an easy question: when i ctrl+alt+f1 or f2 or f7, and sometimes it shows text like "logitech g500: failed to initialize" but wont let me ctrl+c or z or d to get the command line, how without rebooting?04:59
cfeddespinningcompass: yes nfs does not span mountpoints.04:59
izinucsSamus_Aran: It's been my client of choice for a couple of years.. but you can tell how many of the features I actually use.. irssi and a split screen in screen has served me well.04:59
Samus_Aranspinningcompass: it only exports folders from a single filesystem.  not sure if there's an option to allow this, but you can just add a separate export for /srv/nfs/movies04:59
fr0stbyteat the black command area but cant enter any commands04:59
Saikanyone know the command for dleting one type of file from ANYWHERE on the harddrive?04:59
Samus_Aranizinucs: GNU Screen is by far my favourite app of all time, as it is so time-saving, efficient and useful05:00
izinucsSamus_Aran: do you use the split function?05:00
clueless_hi i am looking to dual boot ubuntu and snow leopard. i am using an imac. i am currently trying it and the one problem is that the speakers dont work. how can i fix that05:00
LxndrSamus_Aran: While my reboot fixed my audio, it seems to have still killed my microphone. Any ideas on how to salvage that?05:01
Samus_Aranfr0stbyte: you need to log in on one of the virtual terminals.  I think by default F1 through F4 contain login screens.  7 is the first X screen, and others have status and error messages.  go to Ctrl+Alt+F1 and then hit Enter a few times until you can see the login text, then login as your user05:01
Samus_Aranizinucs: whenever I need to see several things at once, yes.  also the latest GNU Screen has vertical split-screen, which was one of only two annoyances I had with screen.  the other being no mouse support, which was fixed a year or two ago.05:01
izinucsSamus_Aran: how do you do verticle? and can you combine horizontal and verticle?05:02
Samus_Aranizinucs: it's also neat that some apps are "screen-aware", such as Links2, so you can tell it to open new browsing tabs in new Screen windows05:02

sporkboySaik, what /exactly/ are you trying to do?05:05
Saiksporkboy, In other words, not experimenting without some research first, hence why I'm here05:05
Samus_Aranradikal: make sure you have an appropriate version of Java Runtime installed.  unless you know the app was designed to work with the open source Java versions, try using the official Sun Java05:05

sporkboySaik, nono... exactly what you're trying to do.05:06

sporkboysaik... okay... gimme a sec.. but you can always test the command with something harmless like ls.05:07
Samus_Arandeadroot: I would recommend switching to root with a login shell, then loading screen.  that should have a proper environment.  I think sudo has an option to do a full login, lemme check05:08
Saiksporkboy, ok, thanks, I just booted the 2nd live Cd I have, gota mount it, brb05:08

ubottumonty_hall: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.05:12
sporkboySaik, if that shows the files you're wanting to remove, then this will delete them: find /mntpoint -name \*.tmp | xargs -ifile rm -rf file05:12
zion_hello05:12
AmethI am thinking of building an box just for ubuntu that is low power but can still do a lot of stuff. I am thinking intel Atom and a Nividia ION. Is this a good choice or should I go with a different cpu/gpu05:12
Samus_Arandeadroot: "su" is "switch user".  if it is run by a user other than root, it will ask for that user's password before logging in, e.g. "su jane".  if you do "su - jane" then it does a full login shell, and loads /etc/profile and the rest of the environment.  if you don't give a name, it switches to the root user.05:12

Saik sporkboy, find -name *.tmp lists tons so I'm supposed to add | xargs -ifile rm -rf name to the command?05:13
Samus_Aranmonty_hall: either use FAT32 (with the vfat driver) or NTFS (with the ntfs-3g driver)05:13
rwwfuqin: FloodBot1 is a bot; it is unlikely to have enough sentience to help you.05:13
voss749ubuntu 10.10 nbr is a mess05:13
izinucsSamus_Aran: deadroot sudo login shell is the "rescue" kernel05:13
Samus_Aranmonty_hall: unless you mean a network share, then you can use Samba or NFS05:14
Saik sporkboy, find -name *.tmp lists tons so I'm supposed to add "| xargs -ifile rm -rf name" to the command? *05:14
deadrootSamus_Aran: so "sudo -i" is supposed to have the same effect as "sudo su -". unfortunately that didn't succeeded05:14
Samus_Aranresearcher1: tinypic.com is nice05:14
researcher1Samus_Aran: thanks05:14
izinucsdeadroot: sudo -i should work.. the last character on the terminal prompt will change to # from $05:14
Samus_Arandeadroot: sudo -i says it will run the command with a full login first05:15
deadrootizinucs: it did. but the make still failed to expand the environment variable05:15
sporkboySaik, yes. that will send the list of files to xargs, which will execute rm -rf on each of them. I don't know that the -rf is needed, but it might save you some hassling with directories and certain files.05:15
fr0stbytesweet, i just read the gnu screen guide and its awesome. never would have known, thanks samus and whoever brought it up05:16
sporkboySaik,  wait, no... xargs -ifile rm -rf file.05:16

Saiksporkboy, so not "name" but "file"?05:16
researcher1Samus_Aran: I mean to ask guidance on screenshots of system failure not any other pictures05:16
sporkboySaik, yes. actually, you can use any word, just use the same one on the -i and after rm. ( xargs -igoobersmooch rm -rf goobersmooch would work just the same)05:17
Saiksporkboy, gotcha. thanks. I'll let ya know if it works.05:18
SoulShadow|Lappyso, yeah, anyone know why ubuntu would randomly decide to show me two battery icons? it shows it on the normal install i always use, and then a secondary install i keep just incase, that has nothing installed to it05:20
Noctis_Luxhi05:21
sporkboySoulShadow|Lappy, maybe you have two batteries?05:21
SoulShadow|Lappyi don't05:21
Samus_Aransporkboy, Saik: GNU Find has a built-in method which replaces xargs: find /some/folder -name '*.abc' -exec rm -rf {} +05:21
SoulShadow|Lappyboth icons show the same battery, and it's never shown it before today05:21
Samus_Aransporkboy, Saik: the + acts the same as passing to xargs05:21

SoulShadow|Lappyit's not that sketchy05:48
izinucsevilrobotsquid: why do you say that?05:48
Samus_AranSoulShadow|Lappy: compared to an efficient desktop sharing app, it is.  Remote Administrator for Windows supports 16-colour mode which allows it to perform smoothly from across the world on dial-up.  VNC supports at lowest 256 colour mode, and is 5+ times slower than Remote Admin.  there's no way to optimise VNC for dial-up05:49
evilrobotsquidizinucs, It's just so cookie-cutter.  I really thought it was spyware until I heard from all the people (and companies) that use it.05:49

gbear14275ForgeAus: yes, but I need to find out how again...05:51
izinucsForgeAus: yes..05:51
Samus_AranSoulShadow|Lappy: even on DSL and Cable, TightVNC is very slow.  you can watch it drawing windows on the screen, and there are often 5 second lag bursts.  Remote Admin is smoother than that even on dial-up.05:52
ForgeAusSamus_Aran, that depends on your distro and what come with it, but it can be05:52
gbear142752010-10-17 - We're currently investigating a problem that is preventing the client from connecting to the service.05:52
SoulShadow|Lappyi've not used tightvnc, i've only vnc'd on windows and it was a while back, i can't remember05:52
SoulShadow|Lappywhat i used05:52
ForgeAusSamus_Aran, I've seen RDP working out of the box, hassle free before...05:52
gbear14275found my issue...05:52
Samus_AranSoulShadow|Lappy: VNC also does not store a screen buffer, so if you Alt+Tab to another window, or switch to another desktop and back, it re-downloads the **entire screen**.  painfully slow05:52
ForgeAusSamus_Aran, but that could just be an isolated case05:52
SoulShadow|LappySamus_Aran, there's nothin saying VNC can't store one05:53
Samus_AranForgeAus: which distro is it easy on?  I've tried on Ubuntu and didn't get RDP to do much other than crash when the user tries to login from a GDM-like interface05:53
SoulShadow|Lappythere are other VNC programs05:53
jimisrvroxcfedde: right...well im trying to set up VNC linux to linux and hopefully through ssh tunnel like youre talking about...but im trying to set it up where I piggyback off of one pc's wireless and connect via ethernet to another box05:53
ForgeAusgbear14275,  :) awesome05:53
Samus_AranSoulShadow|Lappy: open source, for GNU+Linux?  I only know of TightVNC (doesn't support it) and standard VNC (also doesn't support it)05:53
gbear14275ForgeAus: well kinda... just means the problem is something I can't fix :)05:53
cfeddejimisrvrox: if you're going linux to linux I see almost no need to see the remote desktop unless you're collaborating with the remote user.05:54
jimisrvroxcfedde: you think you might be able to help in that situation? Host PC is PCLinuxOS and of course their support chan is dead but im trying to figure out where I can go to set a static IP for eth0 and have it survive reboot if necessary..05:54
SoulShadow|Lappyew pclinuxos05:54
=== TermanaN900_ is now known as TermanaN900
Samus_AranSoulShadow|Lappy: Windows has many more VNC clients than does GNU+Linux, unfortunately.  many are shareware or commercial05:54
ubuntu91humanHELP05:54
SoulShadow|LappySamus_Aran, no closed-source free ones?05:54
izinucsjimisrvrox: wicd will let you do that.. network-manager didn't for me05:54
ForgeAusSamus_Aran, to be honest I Cant remember which distro, all I remember was that it was KDE-based... so it wasn't Ubuntu specifically, may have been Kubuntu or PCLinusOS... they're the most likely candidates05:54
jimisrvroxcfedde: well I would like to see the remote desktop but I think I can do cd burning via command line no?05:55
ubuntu91humanmy PC was Ubuntu 10.04LTS,05:55
cfeddeif you want some app from the remote to display on the local just be sure to use -X05:55
cfeddejimisrvrox: you can.05:55
cfeddeeasier to just to a remote X login.05:55
Samus_AranSoulShadow|Lappy: it has been years since I tried all the VNC clients/servers I could find, but most were either timed trials or limited free versions05:55
cfeddeimho05:55
cfeddeset up gdm to permit remote logins.05:55
Samus_Aranjimisrvrox: sure, you can do almost anything from text mode.  :)05:55
ForgeAusjimisrvrox, I think #linux would be more appropriate for PCLinuxOS help if their support channel is mostly dead05:56
jukcan use wireshark to monitor traffic on the remote?05:56
Samus_Arancfedde: how?05:56
cfeddeSamus_Aran: I need to research details.. give me a minute or two.05:56
jimisrvroxSamus_Aran: im aware of that :) Im just trying to figure out how to set the static IP to survive reboot :)05:56
ubuntu91humanI put Ubuntu 10.10 on my CD-ROM driver and try to install 10.10 into my USB-pen, but Ubuntu 10.10 doesn't offer a choice where to put Boot Loader to05:56
Samus_Arancfedde: I see the option for remote stuff in GDM, but I've never actually encountered anyone using anything remote with GDM, heh05:56
cfeddeSamus_Aran: it was the way we used to do things back when X11 "terminals" were popular.05:57
Samus_Aranubuntu91human: there is an "Advanced" button, or something similar, which asks you where to install GRUB to.  it should be right at the end of the install05:57
* SoulShadow|Lappy is afraid of the 10.04 -> 10.10 upgrade button05:57

ForgeAusSoulShadow lol I don't blame you05:57
ubuntu91humanSamus_Aran please help05:57
SoulShadow|Lappynot that i have anything worth saving on here, but still05:57
Samus_Arancfedde: I have used LTSP before, which was a very nice solution for computer labs, but that's only "remote" about 20 feet.  :p05:57

ubuntu91humanhow to restore all the boot stuff?05:59
jimisrvroxso cfedde would you know how to be able to ping from Host B to Host A through ethernet? Because I have established Static IP's on eht0 on Host A and Static IP on Host B but could not get the two iface's to ping..05:59
=== MashTomato is now known as MashPotato
Samus_AranForgeAus: it's very efficient.  get one high powered quad-core server with lots of RAM, and then a dozen or two 486s or Pentium 1s and you can run all the browsers/office apps/etc. just fine.  very cheap labs, as you can get the dumb terminals for free05:59
ubuntu91humanso I can boot from HDD and shows a menu and automatically booting if I didn't choose in 10 seconds05:59

ubuntu91humancan't I just recover my 10.04?06:00
jjmwood1 ubuntu91human: Why can you just Put 10.10 On a flash drive, Delete the 10.10 and reinstall06:00
cfeddejimisrvrox: are both devices connected to the same hub/switch?06:00
cfeddejimisrvrox: are they configured in the same /24 network?06:00
ubuntu91humanthe 10.10 is now on my USB-pen, but my HDD one still has 10.04 intact.06:01
Samus_Aranjimisrvrox: how are they physically connected?  if they are a direct cable connection, you need to use a cross-over cable06:01
Samus_Aranjimisrvrox: past that,  simply confirm they are on the same sub-net06:01
ubuntu91humanI just need to restore my booting proeess06:01
cfeddejimisrvrox: can each system ping their own IP address?06:01

Krishnanduubuntu91human, Remove the PenDrive, Boot from Ubuntu Live CD and reinstall GRUB06:01
ubuntu91humanKrishnandu, I will try, tell me how please06:01
cfeddeSamus_Aran: jimisrvrox with most modern 1Gbit cards you don't even need a crossover.  They autodetect as part of the defualt protocol.06:01
Krishnanduubuntu91human, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows06:02
ubuntu91humanthank you Krishnandu06:02
jjmwood1 ubuntu91human: Remove the USB-Pen and boot off the HDD06:02
ubuntu91humanI'm going to try now, hope this works06:03
SoulShadow|Lappyyeah, modern NIC's autodetect06:03
cfeddeSamus_Aran: re remote x11 consoles.  The details are in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf06:03
ubuntu91humanbut if I remove usb pen, it will show that it can't find a device06:03
Krishnanduubuntu91human, BTW isn't Ubuntu 10.04 in the menu..??06:03
cfeddeSamus_Aran: the section in there you are looking for is the XDMCP part. And you want to enable it.06:03
cfeddeSamus_Aran: that is on the server side.06:03
Krishnanduubuntu91human, Ohh that means bootloader got installed in pen drive, but still what about the old bootloader in HDD??06:04
cfeddeer.. the xwindows .. client... hehe.06:04
ubuntu91humanyes, Ubuntu 10.04 is still on the menu, but not the first options, the first 2 were Ubuntu 10.1006:04
fr0stbytewhat do you think would cause my shell to say "[   9.504959 ] Too many connections." when loading ubuntu (before login) - it stalls my reboot. looks like a mysql error06:04
Testerskihello06:04
Samus_Arancfedde: I had heard about that, but not actually seen it in action.06:04
Samus_Arancfedde: in the GDM configuration in /etc/gdm/ ?06:04
Krishnanduubuntu91human, first tell me where is your bootloader installed?? Pendrive or HDD??06:04
TesterskiI want to install my Huawei 3G USB modem in my Ubuntu 9.406:04
ubuntu91humanKrishnandu, nope, if the bootloder was in USB-pen, it should have boot from USB alone, but it can't06:05
cfeddeSamus_Aran: in the section about xdmcp06:05
Samus_Arancfedde: thanks, I will try that some time soonish  :)06:05
cfeddeheh.06:05
cfeddeit's pretty cool.06:05
Testerskibut in all instructions i've found there is needed an internet connection06:05
jjmwood1 ubuntu91human: So is Ubuntu 10.04 one of the Optiond to boot from?06:05
ubuntu91humanit can only boot from HDD + USB plug-in, CAN NOT boot from USB-alone (but CAN when my USB-pen was Ubuntu 10.04)06:05
Krishnanduubuntu91human, that means bootloader is in HDD, then just remove the pen drive and boot into 10.04 and do sudo update-grub06:05
Testerskianyone can help me install it without internet ?06:05
Samus_AranTesterski: where are the instructions for installing it *with* an Internet connection?06:06
ubuntu91humanI can easily install Ubuntu 10.04 right into USB-Pen without any problem. and I can boot any PC from USB-pen with Ubuntu 10.04 inside.06:06
jimisrvroxSamus_Aran: yeah I forgot about the cross-over cable thing heh and im in the cisco networking class :) But your standard ethernet cable is a cross-over afaik so mine are connected from ethernet port to ethernet port and at one time I had it where I could ping both ifaces on Host A and Im not sure if Host B can ping its own iface06:07
ubuntu91human10.10 sucks!! It never shows an option where to put GRUB to, that's why I am now in this shape06:07
cfeddejimisrvrox: the standard rj45 cat 4 cable is streight through.06:07
ubuntu91humanI was just trying to install 10.10 into my USB-pen from Ubuntu 10.0406:08
cfeddejimisrvrox: if ping is working through a standard cable then it's because the cards are smart enough to detect polarity and self cross.06:08
Samus_Aranjimisrvrox: cfedde reminded me that some cards autosense needing to swap the wires and doing it.  but if yours doesn't, try with a switch.  but are you on the same subnet on each?  e.g. run "ifconfig" and check the Mask:...... part, on each06:08
markbostonis gpg already installed or do i have to install it?06:08
ubuntu91humanbut now both my Ubuntu 10.04 and USB-pen(was Ubuntu 10.04 too) all mess up because of this SHIT GRUB stuff!!!06:08
rwwmarkboston: It's already installed06:09
ubuntu91humantell me exactly what to do to fix my PC first? I don't care about my USB-pen, it's the easy part, since I can install 10.04 into USB-pen anytime again.06:09
Samus_Aranubuntu91human: we have provided instructions for how to reinstall GRUB.  follow them.  :)  or do what I said, and look for the button that lets you choose where to install GRUB to06:10
jimisrvroxSamus_Aran: I would think it would be ok for them to be on the same subnet06:10
Samus_Aranjimisrvrox: they need to be on the same sub-net to ping each other06:10
Samus_Aranjimisrvrox: or else have a bridge between the nets06:10
jimisrvroxright06:10
ubuntu91human10.04 has better installation options which 10.10 doesn't have06:10
Krishnanduubuntu91human, you said you can't boot without the pendrive right..?? This means your bootloader got installed in pendrive, so follow the link that I provided you06:10
Samus_Aranjimisrvrox: or a gateway, e.g. to the Internet.  what are the two IPs, and what are their Masks ?06:11
ubuntu91humanKrishnandu, if bootloader got installed in pendriver, it would have booted from Pen-driver alone, but it cannot06:11

Samus_Aranshutyaev: first off, confirm the disc was downloaded correctly, it should have an option to checksum the disk to check for errors.  otherwise use "md5sum" to check.  if the disc is burned fine, then the problem is most likely that the installer doesn't handle your graphics card properly, in which case you can download the Alternative Installer CD, which uses a text-mode installer06:31

ForgeAusvvcephei,  what do you mean forcibly free a port?06:33
bazhangjames_, upgrade to a supported version06:33
Samus_Aranjames_: manually install the key, or else tell it to ignore the error06:33
bazhang!gpgerr > james_06:33
ubottujames_, please see my private message06:33
bazhang!upgrade | james_06:33
ubottujames_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade06:33
ForgeAusekkis, interesting whats the problem?06:34
james_Can i upgrade to the new release to fix the problem?06:34
shutyaevSamus_Aran, md5 was fine, so was after-burn check. I can choose the option to verify cd, but after I choose it I get the same result - reboot.. My video card is ATI Radeon x1300 and it was alright with 10.04 installation06:34
elias_how do i mount an iso?06:34
rilliamJordan_U: what should i change grub_timeout to? its set at 10 now06:34
bazhangjames_, fix first then upgrade06:34
lucentelias_: "loop back" mode06:34
Samus_Arankcj: did you get to the list of pannel applets you can add?  did you try typing in "sound" or "audio" or "mixer" in the filter/search at the top?06:34
ekkisForgeAus: hmm... it won't even boot up06:34
ekkisForgeAus: let me try to do the install again and I'll tell you exactly what06:34
lucentelias_: I think File Roller will open ISO files, do you really need to mount it?06:34
elias_lucent, loop back?06:34
james_bazhang- how do i fix it?06:34
elias_lucent,  its a movie i downloaded06:35

ubottujames_: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories? Find the GPG keyword for the repository (it's 437D05B5 for the standard ones) and run « gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys <key> && gpg --export --armor <key> | sudo apt-key add - »06:35
lucentelias_: try playing with VLC program, it should be able to play06:35
ForgeAushmmm.. I'm lagged :(06:35
kcjSamus_Aran: Yeah. I really like the one that's supposed to show up in my tray.06:35
lucentelias_: though, if not, then I thought mplayer or VLC would play ISO containers06:35
vvcepheiForgeAus: I'm debugging a socket communication program, and it's not always closing its passive socket correctly. Then I get "Address already in use" when I run it the next time around. I'm wondering if there's a way to release the port analogous to "kill -9"06:35
elias_well, when i open the folder, it has alot of files06:36
Samus_Arankcj: check Synaptic for any packages that might be related to gnome's volume controll mixer.  it could be one of these: sudo apt-get install gnome-media gnome-volume-manager gnome-alsamixer06:36
ajsieis there a way to make ubuntu one work with ubuntu server without the GUI?06:36
Jordan_Urilliam: Sorry, I meant GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT.06:36
Samus_Arankcj: I don't really use Gnome at all, so I have limited tech support ability with it.  :)06:36
ajsieto synchronize my files06:36
shadesso after updaing the repository java should install?06:36
lucentelias_: also pro-tip for you, don't tell people you download movies in this format here, most of that activity is not allowed for discussion?06:36
elias_lucent, its a torrent06:36
ekkisForgeAus: it's BusyBox... it cannot mount /dev/loop006:36
kcjSamus_Aran: Ah. What do you use?06:36
ForgeAusvvcephei, uh sorry not my forte... but a port is not an address, if address is referring to IP...06:36

bazhang!piracy > elias_06:37
ubottuelias_, please see my private message06:37
Samus_Aranshades: update the package lists: sudo apt-get update    ... then try installing the package, e.g.: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre06:37
ubuntu91humanhello~~~? Krishnandu, are you there???????????06:37
rilliamJordan_U: ok thanks06:37
vvcepheiForgeAus: right, in this case the error message is poorly phrased ;) thanks anyway.06:37
lucentblahsphemer: 'which python2.6' ?06:37
ekkisForgeAus: never heard of it06:37
Samus_Aranshades: there is by default an open source version of Java installed, so you will need to either uninstall that, or else set it to NOT be the default "java"06:37
Jordan_Urilliam: You're welcome.06:37
shadesSamus_Aran: installing sun-java6-jre doesn't seem to do it06:37
Jordan_U!grub2 | rilliam06:37
ubotturilliam: 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/Grub206:37
vvcepheiblaatmeister: "which python"06:37
Samus_Aranshades: doesn't seem to do... what?06:38
ForgeAusekkis, uh I'm not sure why its using a loop device...l06:38
ubuntu91humanKrishnandu, now I can boot from PC ALONE!!! Great!! BUT!!! didn't show any MENU, help!!!06:38
shadesweird06:38
james_ok,thanks i will try to fix the problem by removing the custom repository06:38
shadesit's NOW showing up06:38
Samus_Aranubuntu91human: please use only one exclamation point or question mark.  using more is like screaming at people, it is considered as rude.06:38
blahsphemerlucent, as in , I am trying to find out where the python folder exists06:38
blahsphemerits lib folder and all that06:38
ubuntu91humanSamus_Aran, sorry06:38
lucentblahsphemer: probably in /usr/lib/python2.6 or something06:38
ForgeAusekkis, most cases I've come across loop devices are for mounting a hardfile (ie a file that acts as a substitute for a  hard drive with partition information and stored data on it)06:38
ekkisForgeAus: all I did was click on the download button of the Ubuntu home page, that leaves an ISO on my disk that I then use to attempt the install with06:38
Samus_Arankcj: I've been using ICEWM for around 8 or 9 years06:39
blahsphemergot it, you're right06:39
blahsphemerthanks06:39
ubuntu91humannow I can boot from PC alone without any problem, but I lost windows menu06:39
ForgeAusekkis, sure, what point does that happen, where in the process does the error happen? directly after you insert the virtual CD?06:39
Samus_Arankcj: I use Gnome at work for 2 years, to learn it for tech support purposes.  but it's all in my head, I have no Gnome loaded here to test things on.06:39
* [gnubie] waves06:39
ekkisForgeAus: oh, so maybe this is not happy with a mounted ISO... maybe it needs to think it's a real DVD... I can do that, with Toast... fake it so it looks just like a DVD.  I'll give that a try06:39
kcjSamus_Aran: I've only been using linux for about 2 years. :)06:39
ForgeAusekkis it might be as simple as setting VMware to use the physical CD instead of a virtual one?06:40
ubuntu91humanI did this sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda06:40
Jordan_Uekkis: That is not the problem.06:40
ekkisForgeAus: yes, as soon as it starts to boot it just crashes06:40
ForgeAus(sorry DVD)06:40
[gnubie]i need help on how i can make use of the cloud-init in my ami for downloading and executing my user-data in base64 format..06:40
Exploiterits my 2nd week of unix.. and i feel like ' i have the power' lol06:40
ubuntu91humanand my ubuntu 10.04 is back!! but I can not see any menu during booting06:40
ekkisForgeAus: I don't have a physical CD but I can have Toast manufacture one for me06:40
ForgeAusekkis, not if ou have the ISO you can burn it, thats easy enough todo, worst case is that you waste a physical disk06:40
ekkisJordan_U: so what is?06:40
ForgeAusekkis, yes toast is one way06:41
Jordan_Uubuntu91human: I think you mounted the wrong partition.06:41
ekkisForgeAus: yeah, I'll try mounting it as a CD first, if not, I'll burn06:41
ForgeAusnot sure if disk utility would do that too06:41
ekkisI don't think so06:41
Jordan_Uekkis: Just knowing what the problem isn't unfortunatly doesn't always mean I know what it is :(06:41
ForgeAusekkis, uh more likely to be a DVD, that was my error calling it a CD06:41
ubuntu91humanhow to detect my Jordan_U? but I am sure I unplug my USB-pen06:41
ekkisit's probably a DVD.  same difference06:42
fr0stbyteis there something like cairo-dock that doesnt require desktop effects? i keep mine on none because 10.10 has an issue with effects sometimes menu doesnt show up on hover/click06:42

Jordan_Uubuntu91human: I copied that path from your comment :)06:43
ubuntu91humanI was just copy and past for quicker chat06:43
lucent_jesse_: wow, that's ... "special"06:44
eraggofr0stbyte: have you tried docky?06:44
_jesse_you're telling me ;)06:44
Jordan_Uubuntu91human: What is the exact command you ran to install grub?06:44
ekkisForgeAus: maybe that's not a path.  I mounted the ISO and it looks like a DVD but the VMWare install doesn't recognise it as a physical drive and it won't let me use it as an installation disc image file06:44
Lxndrquestion: I somehow borked my computer earlier, and wound up having to boot into an older version in the grub. How do I make sure that older version (which I'm running now) will be the default when I restart?06:44
ekkisso I'm screwed06:44
icedteadirkle: yes, how about starting the update manager from the system menu, then there should be an option to upgrade to 10.1006:44
ubuntu91humanJordan_U /media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 is the example on Ubuntu forum06:44
kcjSamus_Aran: Kind of.06:44
fr0stbyteeraggo: not yet06:44
Samus_Aran_jesse_: try: xrandr --screen LVDS1 -s 006:45
fr0stbytewish they would just make a normal dock thats fast without the stupid animations06:45
lucent_jesse_: try specifying the output, i.e. xrandr --output LVDS -s 006:45
Samus_Aran_jesse_: it seems to be defaulting to the offline screen06:45
_jesse_aaah interesting06:45
fr0stbytei use a dock for the functionality, not the looks06:45
_jesse_lucent Samus_Aran: will try that, thanks06:45
LxndrDoes anyone know anything about grub? I somehow borked my computer earlier, and wound up having to boot into an older version in the grub. How do I make sure that older version (which I'm running now) will be the default when I restart?06:45
dirkleicedtea: that will also take care of the situation that I have the full version of Ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook and not the Netbook remix?06:45
LxndrSamus_Aran: Can you answer my most recent question?06:45
ubuntu91humanthe exact command I did was ---> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/991c14c5-9210-4f11-9916-6a5a22255647 /dev/sda06:45
Samus_Aran_jesse_: I seem to have got the option wrong, I think --output is correct, not --screen06:46

ubuntu91humanso I can boot my PC(Ubuntu 10.04) without pen-driver!06:46

_jesse_doesn't output an error message though06:50
_jesse_just doesn't do anythgin06:50
bastidrazorLxndr: if the newer kernel is not working for you then it is safe to uninstall it, as long as you have an older version available which you indicated you have and are using.06:51

Krishnanduubuntu91human_, Okies :) Enjoy :)07:38
ubuntu91human_Krishnandu, but I don't understand, how did it happen?07:39
trj021782Jordan_U - excellent, i had testdisk scan my hdd and when it was done it offered me two options to repair a bad boot sector  , it had a boot sector and a backup boot sector - I need advice concerning which one to use07:39
ubuntu91human_Should I keep away from ubuntu 10.10?07:39
fr0stbytenvm appears compiz is used by default now07:40
trj021782ubuntu91human - I have heard good things from 10.10 but i have also heard that alot of people are sticking with 9.10 and 10.04 just because if it ain't broke don't fix it07:40
Jordan_Utrj021782: The boot sector is only important for booting windows, and windows isn't going to boot with the partition table as it was before. You need to fix the partition table before anything else.07:41
ubuntu91human_trj021782, thanks for your advice07:41
ubuntu91human_advise07:42
trj021782Jordan_U - the boot sector is relevant to the partition table and NOT just used for booting, the proof here being that this HDD has NEVER been used for booting any OS07:42
ludd1tehey all - we have a ubuntu 10.04 server and the openssl does not support SNI - so i removed it via apt-get remove and then compiled successfully the latest tar ball from openssl however apache is still saying the old ssl is in use. this bothers me greatly as the apt cache tells me that no openssl is installed07:42

ludd1teubuntuCEO i believe there is a #apache channel07:43
Jordan_Utrj021782: Let me clarify. I may be wrong, but from your description the menu you are at is for fixing a partition's boot sector, not the mbr itself (which contains the partition table).07:43

KB1JWQshai__: Take a look at dmesg as well.07:48

shai__KB1JWQ: Is there no way to have kernel panics reported?07:48
ubuntu91human_Krishnandu, Jordan_U : I am 80% sure, and I am 100% sure 10.04 has options to let you choose where to put Boot Lorder to!!!!07:49
zulfiany one else agree with Krishnandu just wanna know if not then yeah ill install windows for sure beucase that right ill avoid problems later07:49

yaoziyuangreenmang0: my original question is like this: when windows undergoes a major "distro upgrade", it uses a "windows setup" program that takes over the whole computer (no other apps can run at the same time)08:23
KB1JWQtrj021782: nah, man testdisk is the way to go to find out the options.08:23
yaoziyuangreenmang0: while how could a linux distro do a major distro upgrade without shutting down other apps/gnome/kde/x first?08:24
ayiis it possible to make dhclient or any other program ask for DHCP just to see what DHCP servers are on a LAN=08:24
KB1JWQFile attributes are stored in metadata, so it's possible that there actually aren't any from what it scrapes off the platter, trj02178208:24
Mathuin... that's because the Gimpnet choice is the one for Gnome.  Of course.  *throws hands up in frustration*08:24
JoeMaverickSettashiswin: try to ask in #winehq also. :)08:24
ayiwithout assigning to NIC afterwards?08:24

Man[tis]is there a way to just change it to a monolithic kernel?08:30
Man[tis]that would be greeeat08:30
yaoziyuangreenmang0: so, when we do a major upgrade (like distro upgrade or upgrades that affect x, gnome, kde and important services), we should either do it in a minimum environment (without entering X), or08:30
trj021782what version of ubuntu?08:30

Man[tis]you understand what im asking right?08:30
yaoziyuangreenmang0: or always attend it (never leave the computer)?08:31
trj021782yes, and I do not think it can be done but more so i was going to ask why you would want that08:31
Flannelyaoziyuan: You can do it in X just fine.  That program won't be upgraded in place in most cases, but the next time it starts it will, etc.08:31

ubottuIn 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.09:47

ubottuTo install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases.13:14

memory6my wireless connection stops randomly can anyone help me13:51
ForgeAusActionParsnip, btw using ntfs-3g mounts ntfs as writable no hassle13:52
ljsoftnetmemory6 its your signal strength13:52
ForgeAusActionParsnip, but to mount the wubi image you need to use it as a loopback device, ie using the -o loop paramenter to mount13:52
ljsoftnetmemory6 how are u connected from an ISP or a router?13:52

andrewboktorActionParsnip: can i mount the disk image and recover the home folder from there??? if so, then how to mount it?13:53
ForgeAusActionParsnip, then referencing the disk image through what you mounted the ntfs volume on, ie, mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2 then mount -o loop /mnt/sda2/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /mnt/loop13:53

thevishydoes anyone know how to install a mini OS from the PXE option ?13:56
ljsoftnetmemory6 must be your ISP, can you call there customer support?13:56
ActionParsnipForgeAus: i suggest you use UUIDs instead of /dev/sdXX13:57
ForgeAusandrewboktor, assuming you are using \ubuntu on C: it should be this sequence of commands, mkdir mnt, mkdir /mnt/sda2, mkdir, /mnt/loop, mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2, mount -o loop /mnt/sda2/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /mnt/loop13:58
tiffloris there some way to reinstall dependencies, cause in my config.log ther are a lot of undefined references for example13:58
ForgeAusandrewboktor: from there you can chroot or whatever13:58
ForgeAusActionParsnip, I was told not to use UUIDs, from some faq I was reading13:58
memory6- ljsoftnet, but my isp ok i called it but there is no problem i think its about driver or something in ubuntu when i reboot with with windows 7 everything is ok13:58
ActionParsnipandrewboktor: why do you need to recover, just use your backups. You will need to mount the NTFS writable: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows   and you can then mount the wubi image13:59
ForgeAusActionParsnip, I didn't understand why tho13:59
maxicehello13:59

ljsoftnetmemory6 have you tried researching setting for the wireless card?13:59
maxiceknock knock knock!13:59
ljsoftnetmemory6 settings i mean13:59
ActionParsnipForgeAus: weird, UUIDs uniquely identify the partition, if you add drives to a system the numbering may change but the UUID will not13:59
ActionParsnipForgeAus: if it works, then use it13:59
ForgeAusActionParsnip, yes well it worked but I still can't boot the partition14:00
ForgeAusI can mount it from busybox (recovery mode) but what to do from there?14:00

maxiceso whats the deal, ok... i had that problem too... do you have a ubuntu live usb?14:02
dragonlordwhy should it? it's just a library14:02
ActionParsnipdragonlord: i dont advise it but it may work14:02
ForgeAusmaxice I can mount the volume in recovery mode but I can't seem to fix the grub entry or whatever is stopping it from booting14:02
ActionParsnipdragonlord: its been compiled for lucid, not maverick14:02
ljsoftnetmemory6 im out of options, try asking this chat room again14:02
dragonlordokay14:02
onryoThis is WEIRD sudo add-apt-repository dose not work after update from 10.04 to 10.10 ???14:02
ForgeAusmaxice no I don't have live usb14:02
dragonlordActionParsnip, can you also install from something like source package like on GenToo?14:03
memory6- ljsoftnet, thx14:03
ActionParsnipdragonlord: each repo and PPA supports different versions of ubuntu, if tey were interchangeable we'd just have one folder14:03
maxicewhat happens when you boot the system, was it cominglike grub recovery> ?14:03
dragonlordActionParsnip, after all it worked for i386 so it should also work on amd6414:03

ForgeAusmaxice I did replace wubildr with the one from winboot in the /ubuntu tree somewhere which helped some14:03
ActionParsnipdragonlord: you can install from source, yes14:03
dragonlordActionParsnip, how is that done in kubuntu?14:03
ForgeAusmaxice no I was getting indefinite (I think its plymouth?) bootsplash14:04
ActionParsnipdragonlord: the i386 is made for maverick, the amd64 build in the lucid repo is made for lucid but MAY work in maverick, eventually a maverick package will most likely be made14:04
memory6my wireless network connection stops randomly or after i reboot the system is there any idea about this problem14:04
dragonlordActionParsnip, interested in this anyways since I have own soft I build I want to once make ubuntu-ready but for this I need to know too how I can test-build beforehand14:04

maxicewas yours a fresh ubuntu installation?14:04
AbhiJiti have non ose vb. and still cant plug in pen drive.14:04

AbhiJitbazhang, no :(14:05
onryoJust upgrade to 2.6.35 and you will be cool14:05
maxiceok then it must be grub bootloader was installed to wrong device... it should have been installed to /dev/sda14:06
fabio333maedox: right14:06

eurythmiaI'm using ubuntu lucid, on a laptop, with a supported LVDS resolution of 1680x1050 (which it is currently set to). I just attached the laptop to an external monitor which has a supported resolution of 1280X1024, but is currently stuck at 1024x768 (4:3), or 1360x768 (16:9) according to xrandr, and the display configuration applet. How would I go about getting my external monitor to output its max supported resolution? I've looked for /etc/X11/14:36
eurythmiaxorg.conf so I could set the "Virtual" section in the screen section, but that doesn't appear to exist (the xorg.conf, there is, however, and xorg.conf.failsafe), and it also seems as though ubuntu is not correctly detecting my monitor's model (ViewSonic VP930b). Any help would be appreciated, and I can provide more info if needed.14:36

fewbooWhen I was installing ubuntu 10.10 I decided to check the encrypt my home folder checkbox but when I logged it I simply opened my home folder.  There was no password request even though I was given a randomly generated password in the beginning15:03
tiffloroskar-: is there a complete virtual package for that or do I have to install all the parts manually15:03
eurythmiaI plugged in my laptop to an external monitor, but I'm limited to a sub-par resolution on the external monitor. I think this is because the monitor's model is not correctly detected. Can somebody help me to figure out how to increase the resolution on my external monitor (xrandr reports no higher resolutions available, and the smae is true for monitor preferences).15:03
Alaric_going to reboot brb15:03
erUSULfewboo: the password is in your keyring. and the keyring is unblocked with your login password15:04
oskar-tifflor:  just install build-essential15:04
ActionParsnipeurythmia: what video chip?15:04
histonicoAMG: sta15:04
eurythmiafewboo, the password is to hold onto just in case your compy becomes fubar, and you need to get into your home dir.15:04
fewbooOh, I see.  Thanks!15:05

ActionParsnipeurythmia: you may need an xorg.conf to make it nice, also check in system -> preferences -> monitor15:05
suigenerishttp://suigeneris.pastebin.com/gRp1X15w <--- how can I fix this?15:05
tiffloroskar- built-essential has already been installed15:06
Alaric_k still broke :\15:06
eurythmiaActionParsnip, I've gone through system->preferences->monitor, it doesn't report any higher resolutions.15:06

eurythmiaActionParsnip, how can I generate an xorg.conf that reflects how the server is currently configured?15:06
erUSULsuigeneris: you in maverick? you are requesting a non existing version15:06

skumaraswim my mechine temp can rise to 70 when use virtualbox15:07
yggdrasi1histo: thanks15:07
Dulakswim: yes I can't use it on my laptop because of that, it does stress the cpu quite a bit15:07
ActionParsnipeurythmia: you monitor isn't reporting its performance then you may need an xorg.cof file to tell the OS what it can do15:07

sipiorswim: he's probably reporting in degrees centigrade.15:07
yggdrasi1thanks15:07
eurythmiaActionParsnip, yeah, that's what I figured ... but I got confused when I looked for the xorg.conf and it didn't exist ;)15:07
swimoh, yep, i bet so..15:07
nicoAMGhisto, i'm using Ubuntu localized for Spanish LA, but related to the driver, Broadcom STA is marked "Privative" and "Broadcom B43" as "free"15:07

ActionParsnipeurythmia: not by default, but if one exists it will be obeyed15:08

erUSULsuigeneris: well you can not.15:08
eurythmiaActionParsnip, good to know. Back to the previous question ... how would I generate one that reflects the current configuration?15:08
sipiorswim: by including your nick in the response. your irc client highlights the line for you.15:08
histoerUSUL: he has older versions in his archives15:08
erUSULif he is mixing repositories of different versions he is asking for trouble ...15:09

Alaric_...15:12
ActionParsnipsectorb: you could install ubuntu minimal to it then build up, it's going to be a tight sqeeze, don't expect compiz to run and definately do not attempt to install openoffice15:12
Quantum_Ionsectorb, Wow you fit a whole ubuntu linux install on 512MB USB stick drive ?15:13
erUSULsuigeneris: then maybe you have to install the packages in correct order; duno. ask in the "blog" comments.15:13
Alaric_this latest update is retarded, on the plus side, at least the ubuntu font family is pretty, imo15:13

erUSULAlaric_: no wlan with b43? in iwconfig?15:14
eurythmiascriptha, looks like you may be hitting *wxactly* what I was just here for. Generate a new xorg.conf (sudo X :2 -configure) and move that to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and edit the external monitor stuff so that xorg knows what the screen is capable of.15:14

Quantum_Ionacicula, Thats why I have to wait until they have 64GB USB sticks or more in order to be comfortable with that arrangement15:19

Bisu[Shield]any takers?  are there bugs being ironed out? should I just leave my virtual box at 10.4 or is it save to15:25
aciculathevishy: its the same distro, alternate cd just means alternative way of installing the same system15:25
aciculathevishy: if your system is overheating during installation you need to adress that first though15:26
snehachitrehuhh?!!!  i right clicked and opend with wine application15:26
ActionParsnipsnehachitre: you can paste the text to a text file, then use a usb storage / sd card as windows is garbage and cannot read ext4 fs15:26

OttifantSirddilinger: At "ppa-search.appspot.com" you can search for (unsupported) bleeding-edge packages17:35
diwinIsmAvatar: thanks. I am developing on drupal and using aegir which creates subdomains on the fly, so it has to be setup for that. I setup my VPS ok, but it had a control panel for wildcard dns setup. I am a linux noob so I don't understand domain stuff much.17:35

kuberaDasEi: Thanks17:43
BrianEI performed an upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, and two things aren't working any more. One, when I plug in an external storage device (external harddrive, memory stick, SD card), it's not automatically mounted. I have to use `mount`, after which it works, but still isn't auto-mounted17:44
Wavesonicsboy 10.10 upgrades sure arent happy it seems... but new installs went smooth it sounds like?17:44
BrianESecond, 'Startup Disc Creator' isn't working any more - when I click 'Make Startup Disk', it fails with "org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Inhibited: Daemon is inhibited"17:44
Phrostythere should definitely be a way to automount certain devices17:44
hsiboyfor the record Dell deny all knowledge17:44
Robinuxuhhh damn i messed up things with tasksel17:45
Phrostynot sure what startup disc creator is... on my parents computer i run the OS off a livecd17:45
hsiboywhich makes me wonder who wrote that page, what did they know that dell dont?17:45
Robinuxcan i do something like "system restor" ?17:45
BrianEPhrosty: Everything was automounting perfectly with 10.04, and now don't with 10.1017:45
Phrostyubuntu upgrades seem to always have problems17:45
Phrostyi'm running ubuntu now but i'm probably gonna go back to linux mint soon (probably debian version)17:45
BrianEI think it's likely that the two problems are related. "org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Inhibited: Daemon is inhibited" sounds like there's a gconf policy gone amiss somewhere, and it's likely that the one that controls automounting is broken too17:46
Phrostyoh def17:46
DasEiBrianE: http://tinyurl.com/2vjazy8   , for the automount17:46
okapiplease guys I need help about this, the ctrl+shift key is stuck after trying Sugar desktop. Anyone can help to fix this?17:46
Phrostytake a look at gconf and see if there's anything out of place17:46
diwinkubera: any idea?17:46
Phrostygo back to sugar and turn it off?17:46
DasEiBrianE: for the second, purge the app and try a re-install17:47
okapiPhrosty: how?17:47
Phrostyhow did you get into sugar in the first place?17:47
BrianEPhrosty: Ubuntu has better repos than Debian, and has more up-to-date packages. If you think the desktop install is too bloated, just install it without a GUI and build your own DE...17:47
okapiPhrosty: was installed per default or mistake17:47
okapiPhrosty: just want to try it17:48
=== marc is now known as Guest41884
PhrostyBrianE, linux mint debian edition uses the testing repos.. not stable17:48
Phrostyokapi, i know nothing about sugar i would just backup and reinstall really.. that's my cure for almost any OS ailment17:48
BrianEPhrosty: I read it as you were going back to Debian, sorry17:48
Phrostyno linux mint debian edition is my favorite currently17:49
Phrostyit has all the features of linux mint with the speed and efficiency of debian17:49
BrianEDasEi: That's not likely to work... The app uses udisk to do the dirty work, which is failing because of that bad gconf policy... Reinstalling it won't change anything =\17:49
Phrostyalso since it's testing the repos are very new17:49
sebsebsebPhrosty: and the base is probably better, since its based on Debian directly not through Ubuntu17:49
DasEiBrianE: read my previous post ?17:50
theGmanActionParsnip: I'm ok with being pointed to docs...I'm just not having much success finding any :( Still trying tho17:50
Phrostywell it's still experimental i guess.. but it works just fine17:50
sebsebsebPhrosty: no not experimental, newish though, yes17:50
BrianEDasEi: Aah, sorry, missed that17:50
BrianETYVM :)17:50
Phrostywell the build is stable.. but it's only the first release17:50
DasEinp17:50
Phrostyand there's still bugs17:50
sebsebsebPhrosty: if it was still in development versions only, then it would be experimental, but  the final first version has been out a little while now17:50
Phrostyeven the installer has a big bug that misses out on swap space completely17:51
Phrostyyea.. i used the beta and it seemed OK to me17:51
BrianEDasEi: It's set properly, though =\17:51
sebsebsebPhrosty: I was giong to vm it, but haven't yet17:51
kuberadiwin: if you have apache installed you will have a file called default, edit that to have another virtual host and with the server name being what you want to called the subdomain.  http://p.linode.com/4268 is the basics17:51
BrianEI'm still thinking it's a gconf policy set wrong somewhere, but for Nautlius17:51
BrianE*Nautilus17:51
Phrostyit's basically just LM except slightly more robust and missing some ubuntu specific features like propriety driver installer17:51

DasEiBrianE: then try an reinstall and start from terminal to get more debug17:52
rxdis there kernel support for lzma 10.10?17:52
sebsebsebPhrosty: yeah and that might become the main version eventually, since quite a few distros stopped being based on Ubuntu, to be based on Debian directly instead17:52
Phrostyyea i hope so17:52
DasEiBrianE: sudo apt-get remove --purge usb-creator* --dry-run17:52
Phrostyalthough the propriety driver installer can be fairly useful...17:53
Phrostycrunchbang statler is very nice too.. although nowhere near as powerful as LM/ubuntu17:53

DasEithen17:53
sebsebsebPhrosty: crunchbang based on Debian now17:53

sebsebsebsusan_: what is wineyard?17:57
sebsebsebsusan_: oh vineyard not wineyard, well even so what is it?17:58
ddilingersusan_: have you tried the builtin configuration tools, what problems let you to try vineyard?17:58
sipiorsebsebseb: didn't she just say what it was?17:58
susan_sebsebseb: it's meant to allow greater integration between GTK and wine, as far as i can tell17:58
sebsebsebsipior: uh yeah17:58
m0tanneat susan_ I've never heard of it, need to check that one out17:59
elfoniai'm installing, thank you iceroot17:59
susan_ddilinger: i'm trying to get wine to use my fonts - i'm running ubuntu 10.10 on my TV, so it's a giant resolution with high font DPI to compensate for the 10 foot viewing range - and wine program fonts are unreadable17:59
sebsebsebsusan_: Which Windows program/s do you want to install?17:59
ddilingersusan_: are you using the -dpi switch for X?18:00
sebsebsebsusan_: oh you can copy in fonts from Windows and put them in Wine for example18:00
susan_sebsebseb: i've already installed the windows programs i need (spotify in this case) - it's that the fonts are so small, they're unreadable.18:00
susan_ddilinger: ddilinger: not that i know of - i just set it under the appearance window in ubuntu18:00
sebsebsebsusan_: you know the hidden. wine folder in Home yeah?18:00
susan_sebsebseb: yeah18:00
DasEisusan_: http://ppa.launchpad.net/cybolic/ppa/ubuntu is up18:00

prabhu###18:01
susan_DasEi: so why am i getting a 404? am i typing in the wrong address when adding it to my sources list, or something like that? i've tried a few times, but i'll try again18:01
sebsebsebsusan_: also there may be a way to change the font size without using some other program,  I guess #winehq would know18:01
susan_sebsebseb: i'll try doing that - are you sure that'd be a solution, though? what i really want is for the wine fonts to have the same DPI as the GTK native ones18:02
sebsebsebsusan_: by the way there is a native version of Spotiy now for Ubuntu and Debian,  but a bit experimental I think still18:02

susan_DasEi: i'm using those exact instructions and getting a 40418:03
sebsebsebsusan_: yeah I think I read something like that.  Why Spotify there are alternatives18:03
ddilingersusan_: on my 42" 1080P i use -dpi 140 which causes almost everything to be bigger.  Basically X thinks there are more dots in an inch, so it makes things out of more dots18:03
andyvySixThreeOh: /home/username/.gnome218:03
XaifasSixThreeOh, gconf-editor in a terminal and you can modify from there18:03
DasEisusan_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinti /etc/apt/sources.list18:03
susan_ddilinger: that could be a better solution - does it scale *everything*? including graphics?18:04
ateszhy18:04
DasEisusan_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list   , ^typo18:04
ddilingersusan_: no, it scales the things X renders internally, like fonts, but not most of the things windows draw, like borders etc.18:04
ddilingersusan_: thing is i'm not sure how to change it on your sys, that machine has the XBMCLive distribution on it18:04
susan_sebsebseb: spotify is what i'd like to use, for various reasons - it's not just used by me, and we have playlists set up. etc :P18:04

Chaos2358Dr_Willis,  i was under the impression the only way to write to an external in ubuntu is if it's fat18:56
cablophuizzzu: you can add the stick to a filter in the vbox main window18:56

nasser750gxIn My ubuntu, Microphone has a lot of noise18:56

nasser750gxIn My ubuntu, Microphone has a lot of , I don't know wy???18:56
cablopso when your vm is active and you plug the usb device then it redirects to the vm18:56
Dr_WillisChaos2358:   You can even boot/run linux from a eternal usbhd.18:56
ddilingerChaos2358: ntfs can be supported as well, but iirc write support is bad there18:56
huizzzucablop: that is possible too - but my users bring in several hundreds of eer-a-changing sticks18:57
Dr_Willisddilinger:  ntfs-3g works quite well these days18:57
cablophuizzzu: so when your vm is active and you plug the usb device then it redirects to the vm, bypassing the host18:57
nasser750gxIn My ubuntu, Microphone has a lot of noise , I don't know wy???18:57
ddilingerDr_Willis: really? good stuff i'll have to wipe ntfs=broken from my memory :)18:57
huizzzucablop: i thin it has sth to do with the now missin usbfs in 10.1018:57
Chaos2358Dr_Willis,  ddilinger ok well that means i got bs'd when i came in with same question  they told me it had to be fat or fat3218:57
folivoraallu2: try: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop && sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg18:57
Dr_WillisChaos2358:  depends on what your exact question was...18:57
ddilingerChaos2358: if you want to exchange the external hard drive between windows and linux, the easiest way is fat3218:57
folivoraallu2: btw take backup 1st from your xorg.conf18:58
^banditoz^lol18:58
Dr_WillisLinux dosent care what FS a external usb device is.. if its supported fs it can work.18:58
huizzzucablop: no the usb device shows up in the host - and the guest dont notice it until is it manually "moounted" in there18:58

Dr_WillisWhen you only have 2 users like I do. :) i dont use groups much19:02

ddilingercablop: mounted read only?  mount -o remount,rw /path/to/drive19:09
trismodb|fidel: well, it is a pretty simple system, the notification daemon registers for the org.freedesktop.Notification method in dbus, then listens for messages, and displays them, so you could check d-feet to see if that is registered, and listen for any method calls with dbus-monitor19:09

cablop* is it19:09
ddilingercablop: that mount command works on any filesystem19:09

* jackie89 waves. "Hiya again"21:22
sebsebsebkilloo: agreed stuff like that shoudn't happen, but it does,  and it seems to be mainly an Ubuntu thing,  I mean other distros seem to be more relible for hardware support a lot of them.21:22
enurud75I have to work on my main axe.  My netbook transitioned just fine, no hangups.  My main desktop machine, I can log in, and the background is bright white.  I have gnome-shell set to autostart (which again works fine on my little Acer) and when I hit alt-f2 to start it, then I have a background.  If I run gnome-shell --replace a second time, then gnome shell fires up.21:23

You will need to configure these yourself" it doesnt do this on starup and I dont have alot of crazy compiz graphics active either. Can someone knowledgeable help me with this?21:35
vocxliam, search for the package name with Synaptic. Or from the command line, "aptitude search rar".If no results appear, check your software sources, and make sure the repositories are enabled. System > Administration21:35
linxehliam: I just did apt-get install rar on 10.04, and it fetched rar from the multiverse repository21:35

vocxliam, as far as I can tell, unrar-free is a package that allows to decompress rar files, but not compress them. So you may need to active the proper software sources for multiverse, to obtain the other rar (non-free). Depends on your needs.21:38
liamvocx: ok thanks at this point I just need uncompress21:38
liamvocx: have you used unrar-free. When I try to extract an archive it just says "Skipping" next to all the files inside the archive and doesnt extract it?21:39
Chaos2358ikonia so do you know of a fix for the graphics error?21:40
jairo#ayuda_internet21:40
ikoniaChaos2358: not for the nvidia issue, the ati one is a known problem with suspend/hibernate, no known fix yet21:41
minimecChaos2358: What kind of GPU do you have? --> lspci | grep VGA in a console21:41
vocxliam, I can verify that I have "unrar-free" installed. I believe I have used it without problems, but I can't test it right now since I don't have any rar around-21:41
Siph0nIs there any way not to hibernate, shutdown, OR suspend if my power is critically low? My laptop seems to show 1 minute left, when i really have 30-60 minutes.21:42

minimecChaos2358: Ok. That looks intresting http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=148413721:45
vocxliam, see "aptitude show unrar-free"  it says it's unable to decompress the rar 3.0 format, so maybe your files are in that format. Perhaps installing "unrar" will do it for you. But indeed, you need to activate the multiverse repository.21:45

ghostknifethe scan starts and is very fast up till 74%. then upwards the rest is extremely slow increments up till 100%22:14
vocxghostknife, I've read that since Ubuntu changed to installing to default ext4: "under certain loads, it may be slower than ext3, users are advised not to upgrade the filesystem in that case" It's in the release notes for Ubuntu 10.10, let me get them.22:15
cfeddespofer: what kind of folder?22:15
ghostknifeI cancelled the scan and it asked for my root password to continue manually in single user mode, though I didn't have a root password and thus had to reboot and just let it finish.22:15
spofercfedde, sorry but what kinds are there?22:15
ghostknifekind of folder? that does sound interesting22:15
Sanky_Well.  Right now, I must reinstall the drivers every time I boot.  :|22:15
cfeddespofer: you say that the folder was created on windows 7.  I'm confused about how you could do that on a ubuntu disk.22:16

ghostknifespofer: so you were logged into ubuntu, and created a folder on an NTFS filesystem?22:16
spofercfedde, oh sorry. I mounted the Windows7 disk through the Places top-menu and created the folder22:17
vocxghostknife, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/ReleaseNotes   in the section "File Systems and Disk Device Setup" or just search for "ext4"22:17
spoferghostknife, yes22:17
ghostknifespofer: and now you installed 10.10 and the same folder is showing up as a file?22:17
spoferghostknife, exactly. Although (I'm not sure if that is important) I booted into Windows 7 today22:18
ghostknifespofer: is possible that some meta data got corrupted. how does it show up in windows?22:18

toyman61WhiteDawn: D-Link DWA-140 does support it, but I have not succeeded in configuring the driver to give me more than 54 Mbps (802.11b)22:20
ghostknifeFunkyDude: you can try IntelliJ22:20
FunkyDudeeh maybe i should just use gedit22:20

barbamanitaliano?22:21
WhiteDawntoyman61, type 'iwconfig' in terminal it will list the modes of your wireless device22:21
vocxtoyman61, 54 Mbps is 11g, and it may be a problem with the driver, not the OS.22:21
aeon-ltdFunkyDude: if you were going to use anything with no proper validation, i'd say learn to use vim in a terminal. nice minimal writing space that doesn't give a crap about formatting22:21
ghostknifeFunkyDude: IntelliJ gives you syntax highlighting, auto complete, quick fixes, compile/test/run/debug, etc. Very good editing in general. No GUI designer though.22:21

cablopi need to force some files created in a folder or device to be owned by an specific user:group23:11
carkieaeon-ltd: need program for testing as host for my games, as host gets advantage so needs balanced some way to see what happens23:11
ikoniacablop: look at setuid/setgid23:11
ricreeAny idea why one /join #mangler23:11
ricreesorry23:11
cablopikonia: mmm i was thinking in them, but they also set permissions on executables placed there to be run as those user:group23:12
ikoniacablop: yes, setuid and setgid23:12
ikoniacablop: oooh, I see you don't want it on executable23:12
vocxcablop, use the command "chown user:group"      ikonia eeeh, why not chown, am I missing something?23:12
ricreeany idea why one particular program would stop making sound until I restart?  All the others work, but periodically one program (Mangler) will stop making sound until I restart the computer.  Not sure if this is a pulseaudio problem or what, and I'm not really sure where to start debugging it23:12
ikoniacablop:23:12
trismaqw: uninstall indicator-messages23:13
cablopvocx, i want for it to be automated23:13
ikoniavocx: he said creates owned byt those users/groups, not changed23:13
aeon-ltdcarkie: i've no idea how to do that, unless it had something between the game server/host and the cable/or rj11 socket that would generate a millisecond delay(increasing ping) and loop the signal then send it out23:13
cablopikonia: it sems that for directories setgid is enough :) but... well, setuid won't work in linux23:14
carkieaeon-ltd: there is a program called fnlag which can delete packets and delay packets to hosts, looking for free version for ubuntu23:14
ikoniacablop: it will23:14
cablopikonia: i'm googling and says that only freebsd do23:15
cablopes23:15
aeon-ltdcarkie: but wouldn't that just stack onto the existing ping? thus not making it any fairer at all?23:15

etheretic1Hello! Is there a way to ensure that icons in the notification area don't have too much space to  each side? Looks silly.23:15
GanonKilleri cannot find the drivers for my ETAK GPS Card ET-GPS1 for Meerkat23:15
cablopetheretic1: i think compact view in nautilus does it23:16
etheretic1cablop: panel, not filer (na.).23:16
carkieaeon-ltd: the host always gets a slight advantage so i want to use the program to delay the host23:17
cablopah, sorry got confused23:17
vocxetheretic1, I don't think so. Perhaps there is a way, but wouldn't know. Seems a little hard-wired.23:17
carkieaeon-ltd: i have a program for windows but not stable enough for my server23:18
cablopyes, gnome nowadays is carrying that simplicity thing tooooooooo far.... and it's disgusting23:18

Slipknot6669Im wondering if someone can help me troubleshoot a sound problem? I just got a RocketFish 5.1 Sound Card, and I installed but cant seem to find the drivers. The disk isnt working apparently because they are for Windows. So I have no sound. Can someone help me with some info on where I might get the drivers? I tried System/Administrator/Additional Drivers, and all it finds is for my Video Card.23:19

aeon-ltdmeh23:29
vocxDiverdude, in general locate is not reliable to find files, if you really want to find files use the command "find" It is more complicated to use though.23:30

tech_hi i was just wondering on how to turn an old Desktop into a server?23:31
mermahow do I remove the keyboard layout icon from the notification area?23:31
vocxDiverdude, because it depends on having a database updated. I really don't know how it works, or its limitations, while "find" will always search every file.   Do "updatedb" before "locate" always.23:31
xanguainstall ubuntu server merma¿23:31
etheret1care there no linux filers with database-like features? Sort of tricky managing the contents of 5-6 TB drives w. 10000's of files each.23:31

etheret1c5-6 1-TB drives.23:31
Diverdudevocx, but find is so much slower than locate because it has to search the whole ahrddisk each time i invoke it23:31
Diverdudevocx, locate is much faster becauser it indexes the files23:32

vocxDiverdude, cron is a program that runs a command at specific times. I believe cron run updatedb every time you start the computer, but I'm not sure.  "man cron"23:36
