[00:00] anyone know how to automatically start startx via terminal for ubuntu server? [00:00] bwRavencl: Dulak memory management is not the only concern and not the only advantage [00:00] SteelPangolin, ok thanks :) you should write a microsoft to linux software transitioning guide ;) [00:00] histo: it's the one issue most likely to matter to him [00:00] yes.. but when i try to install that version, it crash [00:00] Nutub: what is the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep clflush [00:00] histo: semantics won't change the fact that he won't see much difference with 2g of ram between the 2 [00:01] Dulak: yes a user would. I don't understand where you are thinking they wont. [00:01] http://pc-central.zymichost.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=25 [00:01] histo.. i did not understand [00:01] www.pc-central.co.uk [00:01] histo: 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 apps [00:02] Nutub: 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] histo: I have run them both, on multiple machines. They don't feel any different at all when you are using them. [00:02] Nutub: I would install 64b it if you have that capabilbity. THere is no reason not to. [00:02] www.pc-central.co.uk [00:02] ok and what command is_ [00:02] Dulak=}} yea u're right..i'm running 2g with 64...can't really tell the difference..it's quite smooth [00:02] Dulak: it's not about feeling different. Once you start actually start compiling or doin something processor intensive you will see a differrence. [00:03] http://pc-central.zymichost.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=25 [00:03] hi. 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/dorsy [00:03] histo: 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 it [00:03] basix-: 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 versions [00:03] Dulak: flash is not buggy. You install flash squared the new 64bit flash. [00:03] SteelPangolin, k i'll check it out [00:03] Dulak: and the more people that use 64bit the better it gets. Suggesting people to use 32bit is just not good advice. [00:04] histo: it crashes every third website that has crappy flash ads [00:04] Dulak: perhaps you should install 10.2 64bit. I have no problems here. [00:04] ARCH LINUX FUCKS UBUNTU UP THE ARSE [00:04] pc-central: no escribas todo en mayusculas, va contra las normas. La proxima vez seras expulsado. [00:04] histo: 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] Dulak: google flash squared its on the adobe site. [00:04] so.. i dont know who is right or not [00:04] pc-central=}} chill buddy... [00:04] Nutub: let me find you a link explaining the differences and you can decide. [00:04] histo: I have it installed, it's buggy. [00:05] Nutub: unless you like to file bug reports in your spare time, i recommend 32bit [00:05] Nutub: you have no reason to run 64 bit, run 32 bit and it will be smoother for you, I promise === Shadows`away is now known as SoulShadow [00:06] Hi all, is there a way to update 10.04 to 10.10 without losing all my data? [00:06] Nutub: you can always go 64 bit later after you are more experienced [00:06] ok ok i think ill install x32 so [00:06] Spofer=}} back up your data first :) [00:06] Nutub: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit [00:06] any advice how to get my encrypted home directory working on the other install? [00:06] Where do you access the simple scan program? [00:06] Dulak: yeah try encoding a video on your 32bit machine vs. your 64bit and look at the results [00:06] mobasher :) thought so.... so i can't just update some packages? [00:07] i imagine that would depend very much on the processor, codec, and how the encoder was built, histo [00:07] Nutub: basically boils down to what you plan on using the system for? [00:07] histo... i have to hear the majority [00:07] Spofer=}} well you can update..but always good idea to keep a backup just incase $hit hits the fan :) [00:07] and all the people say is better the x32 [00:08] Where do you access the simple scan program? [00:08] nutub: 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 32bit [00:08] Nutub: do what you want it doesn't matter to me. I just feel that's horrible advice [00:08] 64 bit is much better i believe... [00:08] bwRavencl: There is no such thing as x64. It's called amd64. [00:08] Nutub: there are no problems with the 64bit version. Their feers are related to older ones when 64bit first came out. [00:08] mobasher ok thanks a bunch, going to upgrade now. Is there something i should know? ( [00:08] Linux amd64 2.6.35-22-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Sun Oct 10 09:26:05 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux no problems at all [00:09] Nutub: if I where you i'd do some reading on the forums and make a decision on what you've learned. [00:09] Nutub: 64bit is stable and offers minimal speed increases. The point of it is to allow more than 3.2Gb of ram. [00:09] edbian: sorry - but nutub started calling it x64 so i tried to not confuse him by starting to use another name for it [00:09] bwRavencl: Ahhh [00:09] Spofer=}} I haven't upgraded as yet so can't tell you much..just read the docs and see what changes are there [00:09] Nutub: not listening to people on here who have no idea of the difference, quite obviously. [00:09] edbian: that is wrong [00:09] Nutub: x86 refers to i386, i586, and i686. It's actually ix86 [00:09] histo: What is wrong? [00:10] hey guys, I just replaced hardy by lucid in sources.list and typed apt-get update; apt-get upgrade. Will this laptop survive? [00:10] histo: 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] cantoma, why didn't you made dist-upgrade? [00:10] Where do you access the simple scan program? [00:10] edbian: this might be drifting into OT material but does Ubuntu even run on sub-i686 (Pentium Pro) architectures? [00:10] Nutub: amd64 is the name that amd gave to 64 bit architecture it invented [00:10] re rsync, why would i ever not use --append --append-verify? [00:10] histo: after 3-6 months he'll be much less likely to dump if he has problems than he would right away [00:10] edbian: 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] SteelPangolin: Ubuntu runs fine on any system that is ix86 [00:11] john38=}} you can install XSane [00:11] Dulak: There are no problems with 64bit [00:11] but my proccessor is supossed to work i 32 and 64 [00:11] cantoma, do-release-upgrade is for you [00:11] dORSY, well it look to be installing stuff [00:11] Nutub: correct either will work [00:11] histo: I have no experience doing that. I trust you though [00:11] but it was impossible to install the 32 bit version [00:11] how can I start ubuntu installation without graphics? I have old notebook which has only 256mb ram and that installation hangs up [00:11] it was possible on debian [00:11] scrts: the alternate iso [00:11] ok, thanks a bunch. cya laer [00:11] and know i tried 64 and it crash when was at middle [00:11] scrts: use the alternate installation cd [00:11] scrts: there's an "alternate installer" disc image [00:12] histo: 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] mobasher, ok [00:12] I'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] god damn, no empty cd/dvd left [00:12] dORSY, so practically what is the difference between apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade? [00:12] Nutub: did you check the cd for errors === lab is now known as yohan14 [00:12] impossible with original one? [00:12] histo: always support the user for the best experience, not your own [00:12] how 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 that [00:12] i think that could be so im downloading again [00:12] Dulak: 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] scrts: do you have some usb flash drive? [00:12] the 64bit xD [00:13] bwRavencl also no :| [00:13] cantoma, dist-upgrade tries "smart" resolving dependencies [00:13] Dulak: your suggestions are based on your own experiences. Your point makes absolutely no sense and is based on old information. [00:13] hola alguen me podria decir como se usa esto????? [00:13] mobasher, simple scan or Xsane do not detect scanner [00:13] cantoma, do you do an upgrade between releases? [00:13] !es > daysa [00:13] daysa, please see my private message [00:14] dORSY, well its my first time doing this [00:14] histo: 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] john38=}} https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/printing/C/scanning.html [00:14] histo: You are net supporting users, you are preaching your views. Big difference. [00:14] dORSY, it is actually giving errors regarding docbooks [00:14] massivelly [00:15] histo.. do you think is better if i create a usb stick instead of cd? [00:15] cantoma, and are you just making your system up-to-date or updating from lucid to meerkat? [00:15] www.pc-central.co.uk [00:15] www.pc-central.co.uk [00:15] pc-central: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:15] dORSY, millions of I/O error === lab is now known as yohan14 [00:15] dORSY, from hardy to lucid [00:15] oh [00:15] cantoma, you should have done do-release upgrade [00:16] cantoma, you should have done do-release-upgrade [00:16] Dulak: and your not imposing your views?? Are you high? You are recomending a crippled kernel for his hardware. [00:16] dulak calm down... ill try it and if i have a problem i will use x86 [00:16] I need help getting video to run in Ubuntu Lucid FireFox. I have latest Flash. Audio is great. Video plays like a series of still images that lag audio. [00:16] anyone ever have any luck with embedded mp4 or ogg videos in chromium from the ppa? [00:16] d0RSY, well in the worst case it will be formatted .. but it is fun to see this [00:16] Nutub: It doesn't matter. I've used both. What problem did you have previously? did it crash during hte installation or while booting? [00:16] I'm using a Live CD and trying to access my homefolder but it's password encrypted, how can I access it as me? === Quincy is now known as Q|Bed [00:17] cantoma, happy experimenting :) [00:17] Dulak: http://www.amd64.org/fileadmin/user_upload/pub/64bit_Linux-Myths_and_Facts.pdf [00:17] dORSY, it looks like the matrix [00:17] histo: 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] during the instalation.. it crashed when was copying [00:17] in the 55% xD [00:17] Dulak: really name a library that has an issue currently? [00:17] Nutub: I would check the cd for errors [00:17] Nutub: sounds like you have either a bad install disc or a bad hard driv [00:18] !md5sum > Nutub [00:18] Nutub, please see my private message [00:18] How can I install ubuntu without grub? [00:18] I'm using 10.04 .Is there a fix for choppy sound in pulse audio? [00:18] d0RSY, so it if survives i will do apt-get dist-upgrade [00:18] is there any graphical tool to configure grub and write it to a partition of my choice? [00:18] !md5sum > SteelPangolin [00:18] SteelPangolin, please see my private message [00:19] amm.. im actually using the live cd.. no problem with that? [00:19] SteelPangolin: you can /msg ubottu to get a response [00:19] I have just installed Kubuntu to a separate partition, I wanted to (re)use the /home partiton with encrypted home dir, but after boot: when I try to log in from tty it is telling me can't cd to /home/dorsy. any ideas? [00:19] histo: yeah i got that intro with the ubottu PM, i've never used ubottu before. Thanks though. :) [00:19] SteelPangolin: np [00:20] Nutub: I would still perform a check of the cd. It obviously should not behave that way. [00:20] I am trying to get my ubuntu computer to share on my windows network... and when I click on network>windows network it says unable to get share list.. how do I get it to share? [00:21] ok... and a last question [00:21] !samba | U-b-u-n-t-u [00:21] U-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] what is new in version 10.10? [00:21] !maverick | Nutub [00:21] Nutub: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 [00:21] Nutub: you'll want to look at the releasenotes. [00:21] I have samba installed [00:21] histo: obviously you know better, he's all yours. Enjoy. [00:21] dORSY, if i want to have access to debian testing packages what else besides lucid should i type in the sources list? [00:21] histo: assuming no errors, will getting the checksum of a raw disk device burned from an ISO result in the same value as the original disc image? [00:22] I encountered and issue with the Ubuntu x64 ethernet driver on all of the x64 distros...currently I'm using a 32bit distro [00:22] U-b-u-n-t-u: the link from ubottu will explain how to get samba working. [00:22] SteelPangolin: Yes. [00:22] ok histo thanks [00:22] how can I install ubuntu without grub? [00:22] lilo [00:22] cantoma, note that ubuntu does not comapible with debian. you will get into a "dependency hell" [00:22] ArianHT: extlinux [00:22] but it's not pretty [00:22] SteelPangolin: yes as long as you are checking the same data. [00:23] ArianHT: Why don't you want grub, and how do you plan to boot Ubuntu? [00:23] d0RSY, yes but if i want to have really out of the box packages .. is there something like that for ubuntu? [00:23] cantoma, that is becouse a lot of packages have different names/versions/etc [00:23] SteelPangolin: 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] Jordan_U: I'm gonna dual-boot it with some other linux os. [00:23] cantoma, yes. do a release upgrade to 11.04 :) [00:23] Jordan_U: closely related question (to the reason i'm using extlinux on one box) does Grub2 have serial console support? [00:23] the Grub2 wiki is no help whatsoever [00:23] SteelPangolin: Yes. [00:23] Do 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 agian [00:24] SteelPangolin: 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] SteelPangolin: wow sorry for the typos [00:24] histo: oh right free space, that would be an issue [00:24] Daw-Re: what type of network card? [00:24] dORSY, thats natty right? [00:24] SteelPangolin: but the link from ubottu about checking the install cd explains how to over come this in the second example [00:25] yep, cantoma [00:25] SteelPangolin: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Serial-terminal http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Simple-configuration [00:25] Jordan_U: do you happen to know how to configure Grub2 for serial console operations? or know where I should start digging [00:25] Jordan_U: wow, that was fast, thanks ;) [00:25] SteelPangolin: You're welcome. [00:26] ok i have a process that under system monitor that has gone in to zombie mode and i did a kill -9 2220 which is the process id command worked but was still there so i did sudo kill -9 2220 again command worked but process is still there any idea on how to kill it? [00:26] I need help getting video to run in Ubuntu Lucid FireFox. I have latest Flash. Audio is great. Video plays like a series of still images that lag audio. [00:26] Jordan_U: you wouldn't happen to know of a better terminal emulator than minicom, would you? [00:27] ArianHT: Ubuntu's grub2 will detect other installations and add them to the boot menu. [00:27] Fezzler: Welcome to flash on linux [00:27] Fezzler: try install flash squared the beta version [00:27] how does one edit the grub menu?

[01:51] i want to get mail.mydomainname.no-ip.org on my 2:nd server how do i manage to do that ? [01:51] I just installed Ubuntu 10.10, and I cannot start it. The same problem occurs when I use the LiveCD, except the problem can be solved with the LiveCD by setting the boot option acpi-off. [01:51] \So I think I'll keep quiet on this one. [01:51] When I am booting the system, the screen goes blank and does not turn back on. It gets to the logon screen fine as I can hear the login sound. [01:51] Tenyuu: followed by iwconfig interface channel N N=14 [01:51] But I can't see anything. [01:52] Also there is no GRUB boot menu when I start the system.

[01:56] xorwhy: hmm, did you check all physical connections on your video card [01:56] why does the window look different when i open my external from my desktop than when i open it from 'places' [01:56] MODE_BEAST: There's nothing wrong with the Video card, other operating systems are working fine, and it's a laptop with Nvidia graphics. [01:57] MODE_BEAST: Besides that, I'm pretty sure the system uses a software rendering system before I install proprietary drivers. [01:57] tacosnstuff, With witch tool did you burn the Ubuntu iso to the USB stick. [01:57] Hi. Thousands of files on my iPod are also in the iTunesDB file (so the iPod knows they exist and can play them), but hundreds are not. What can I use to find the ones that are not, and add them in (without re-adding my entire collection)?

[02:27] baba_ganoush: Yes, I did. [02:27] CountDuckula: I used the 'adobe flash' option in the package manager. [02:27] nah [02:28] is it safe to delete kernel headers? are they necessary for a standard desktop install? [02:28] CountDuckula: What is the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, and how does it differ frm using the package manager? [02:28] Lxndr: search for ubuntu-restricted-extras package and install that [02:28] can someone help me get my dvd woking in ubuntu 10.10? [02:28] Lxndr: u may be missing gstreamer codecs [02:29] CountDuckula: Doing that now. (cc: baba_ganoush) [02:29] Lxndr: Are you getting no sound with videos in everything (ex. videos in VLC) or just in flash? [02:29] Hi.if I installed lubuntu but it had errors will it be fixed if I update? [02:30] Lxndr: this is normal a must package for internet browsing and multimedia - contains flashplayer, fonts, java and sound codecs [02:30] baba_ganoush: In everything that I've checked. [02:30] matts45acp, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [02:31] Lxndr: it might be a pulseaudio problem [02:31] baba_ganoush: That's always a possibility. If I recall, the script in the mythical thread that fixed this in 10.04 suggested that, but I still can't find that !!@)#(@!# thread/script/post/etc. [02:31] Lxndr: check out this thread http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1560270 [02:31] Can anyone suggest a good NTFS recovery tool for linux? [02:32] yeah ubuntu lol [02:32] baba_ganoush: That looks familiar. I've actually gone through all of that. [02:33] Duckula was that joke aimed at me? [02:33] /join #debian [02:33] trj021782: sorta - what do u mean by recovery [02:34] This may be better suited to another channel, and if it is, please tell me: I'm using the ambience theme and I want to make one of my panels transparent -- unfortunately the notification area and the menu won't go with the transparency in the colors option. My only choice is to use a background image of transparency. How would I go about doing that? [02:34] Hi.if I installed lubuntu but it had errors will it be fixed if I update? [02:34] trj021782: u should be able to read files off ntfs under ubuntu unless the drive is stuffed [02:35] a failed partitioning on the fly attempt has left me with a drive that has fully intact files and a broken file system I need to recover these files [02:36] trj021782: photorec.

[02:36] Whats the command to make 4.5 gb swap file [02:36] trj021782: If it's just the partition table that's broken, that can be fixed easily (but it's likely there's also filesystem damage). [02:36] trj021782: have u tried looking here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [02:37] Hi.if I installed lubuntu but it had errors will it be fixed if I update?

I keep trying to figure out the right combination of google terms that might bring me to the magical script that I downloaded that made it all work again. [02:38] Duckula - no I have not checked there but I am doing so now [02:38] Lxndr: Have you try playing around in System>Preferences>Sound [02:39] baba_ganoush: I have! That's where I get a bizarre flickering for Firefox on the 'apps' tab. [02:39] when it tries to make sound. [02:39] Dr_Willis: uh I don't remember....but right now lubuntu live loaded and its stuck on install [02:40] hblount: could be a badly burnt cd. or bad iso download. [02:40] Duckula - thanks for the link, the first reccomendation it has it to use the method Jordan_U sugggested [02:40] trj021782: u r welcome [02:40] Dr_Willis: damnit. Ok thanks [02:41] Is there a gimp channel? [02:42] I installed kubuntu. Is there an easy way to remove it if I no longer want it? [02:42] replicasex perhaps #gimp ? [02:42] tom1: you can install gnome/ubuntu at the same time then remove kubuntu [02:42] tom1: you installed the Kubuntu-desktop package you mean? [02:42] !puregnome | tom1 [02:42] tom1: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [02:43] Lxndr: Did you find this script/solution on ubuntuforums? [02:43] replicasex: I'd suggest http://www.gimp.org/irc.html short version, is gimp (and a lot of the gnome-specific channels) are on gimpnet, not freenode [02:43] Gentle People - thank you for the advice, i have used testdisk and now it is telling me I must reboot so I shall return shortly [02:43] replicasex: what are you trying to do with gimp? [02:44] Make a 1600x24px transparent image. [02:44] I never do anything besides resize images, so I'm kinda lost. [02:44] It's for the GNOME panel. [02:44] It won't do transparency on its own. [02:45] Gimp does transparency [02:45] replicasex: when you open a new window to edit in you should have the option to make it transparent and set the size.. [02:45] I know [02:45] replicasex: layers are your friend.. [02:45] baba_ganoush: I believe so. In fact, I may have found the thread. I'll let you know if it works. [02:45] Go to add alpha [02:45] replicasex: add an alpha channel. and you got a transparent layer. [02:45] baba_ganoush: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810#post6589810 <-- but that's the thread [02:46] replicasex: like Dr_Willis said.. that too [02:46] baba_ganoush: (at least it *looks* familiar to me) [02:46] Hi, can I ask a hardware question here? I mean, itś not specific to Ubuntu, but itś difficult to find nice channels [02:46] Holmser, added alpha (didn't seem to do anything though) [02:47] replicasex: compiz has a feaure to set the transparancy of any window also. that would affect everything in the window however. :) may not do it how you like. [02:47] lifestream: depends on the question.. if it help ubuntu run then yes [02:47] replicasex: because its a clear transparent layer... [02:47] Lxndr: Looks promising and lengthy! [02:47] Then change color to alpha and choose the background color [02:47] Nah izinucs itś just about a strange failure. [02:47] lifestream: throw it out there. [02:47] i have 4TB of data on NTFS I need to xfer over to ubuntu. some of it is very large files (4GB+). what the best file system format to move it to? [02:48] Privacy0: ext3 or 4 works fine [02:48] Privacy0: proberly ext3 or ext4 they are the most common [02:48] can i format a 2tb drive for ext4 and move data from inside windows? [02:48] Privacy0: yes.. should be able to.. [02:49] Hi. Is fast blank cdrw pretty much as good as regular? [02:49] Privacy0: could but harder that way. you can't read/write ext4 yet I think [02:49] or you mean WITH windows? windows has no ext4 support.. [02:49] so what do i do... do it from inside ubuntu? === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [02:49] Privacy0: yes [02:49] linux can read/write ntfs. so no need to do anything with windows at all. [02:49] thanks izinucs. Well, I have a laptop that is less than a month old. Just now I plugged my USB drive, and the computer just shut down. It wouldnt power back up. Unplugged, took out battery, still nothing. Drained power by holding the power button. NOW it boots up! (with the power cable). Iḿ wondering if it would be safe to plug in a USB thing or not. (hard drive, USB mouse...) [02:49] thank you. [02:49] anybody knows how can i read data from parallel port [02:50] lifestream: you can try.. some usb HD's that don't have their own power source need 2 usb connections to get enough power.. [02:50] Ah crap, the ambiance theme really doesn't like transparency regardless. Anyway, thanks. [02:50] hello, could anyone recommend a ubuntu os for a intel atom processor [02:50] jammer: your choice.. they work [02:51] replicasex: i seem to recall some articals about that theme on omgubuntu or webupd8 web sites about transpoarent panels.. but thats been a while. === tjubaluba_ is now known as Squarism [02:51] jammer: any of them should work. [02:51] will both versions work well on a vaio p [02:51] oh, wow izinucs! I definately didn't know about that! I´m going to try to plug in the mouse and see if it happens. thanks :) [02:51] jammer: yep [02:51] in some distros i can drag and drop from menu to task bar, in some i can right click and 'stick to panel' what is the easiest way to put a shortcut on the panel in gnome [02:52] baba_ganoush: While I think that *is* the script that fixed my 10.04 issues, it's erroring out in 10.10. So I checked, and apparently the most current version of ALSA is already installed [02:52] cll, thanks [02:52] lifestream: the HD's that don't have their own power source typically come with a special cable with one plug on one end and two on the other. [02:52] thanks I will check out the site [02:53] I can only control my backlight with the brightness deamon, how can I get my shrotcut keys to work? (FN+F6 for down and FN+F7 for up) or set fn+up & FN+down to control backlight? [02:53] Iĺl check if I can buy that plug from the manufacturer´s website, izinucs [02:53] lifestream: sure [02:53] baba_ganoush: And so, I'm lost and defeated. [02:53] lifestream: i must have 4 of those cables that came with various USB hd's ive gotten over the years. :) [02:54] lifestream: some pc's/hds use so much power they need both plugs.. some times they can get by with just a normal cable. [02:54] Duckula - are you still here? [02:54] Dr_Willis, yes, mine didn´t. Itś one of those super portable (my #$*&!) usb hdds. [02:54] lifestream: the various cable store web sites would be cheaper then the HD makers site i imagine. [02:55] Tenyuu: are you talking backlight on the lcd or keyboard? [02:55] backlight [02:55] Lxndr: your soundcard is not one that requires a proprietry driver is it - just a guess? [02:55] lifestream: so were mine.. - little usb laptop HD's in an enclosure. [02:55] lcd backlight [02:55] lifestream: it can also depend on the device they are going into. Not all can give out enough powar. [02:55] if a file has 777 permissions but it's in a directory that has 700 perms, does that mean other people can't view the file? [02:55] CountDuckula: Not to my knowledge. How do I determine that? [02:55] well bye all... [02:55] i have toshiba L505-S6946 [02:56] Hmm thanks Dr_Wills [02:56] anyway of getting skype? [02:56] Tenyuu: sorry no help from me.... I was hoping you had the keyboard backlight working... i have a toshiba satellite... the lcd works... but not the keyboard backlight. [02:56] restricted hardware drivers under administration menu [02:56] infid: if they ls the folder, it won't work. if they know the filename, they can do whatever they want to the file itself [02:56] loltph: skype.com [02:56] i don't have a keyboard backlight [02:57] why is noscript recommending when running a standard non-admin. account on ubuntu? is it necessary? [02:57] recommended [02:57] shauno: nope, i tried it. if they dont have at least execute permission to the dir they can't do anything to the file [02:57] installed all the packages, unsure why the programs missing. was working on a previous set up [02:57] has anyone setup HDMI audio out with an intel motherboard / chipset on ubuntu 10.10? [02:58] does a high res work with Ubuntu 10.10 sc30317? [02:58] loltph, what do you mean? [02:58] Tenyuu: on my system the Fn key PLUS the f6 / f7 keys control the lcd backlight [02:58] can you skin lockscreens on ubuntu 10.04 yet? [02:58] mine should but they do not [02:59] Duckula - this is a nightmare, testdisk did not work as desired [02:59] I booted ubuntu 9.04 on my dads hp book pro and the ubuntu couldn't handle the screens default resolution [02:59] Lxndr: I am starting to wonder if Ubuntu is even detecting your soundcard at all [02:59] the only way I can change lcd backlight brightness is with the deamon that sits in the panel [02:59] loltph, yea it works fine [02:59] so probably a recent bug fix [02:59] guys, how to remove obsolete packages from console? [03:00] any chance anyone knows the correct driver to get for an ATi graphics card? [03:00] loltph: ati has horrible linux support [03:01] lol [03:01] I know, no USB support XD [03:01] Lxndr: in a console do this - lspci [03:01] makes it hard to convert over from windows [03:02] Lxndr: or, lspci | grep Audio [03:02] Any idea when libgpod will support iOS 4.1?

(even if yo've installed a new kernel on 10.04) ... im on 2.6.35-19-generic [03:03] probably [03:03] Lxndr: ok, should be no problems with that [03:03] yes [03:03] how do i do it?

[03:05] To upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a desktop system, press Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager -d" (without the quotes) into the command box. Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release '10.10' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.

[03:07] <\bMike\b> Squarism: yes it does :) [03:07] loltph: amd is the cpu, you don't need drivers for it [03:07] Compared to windows it is [03:07] <\bMike\b> Squarism: took me ~3.5h [03:07] sorry i should be more specific i know how to change it but the max it goes to is 1024x768 [03:08] Lxndr: under Preferences > Startup Applications there should be at least one entry to start Pulse Audio Service [03:08] \bMike\b, wow.. that IS long [03:08] and my monitor says the optimum is 1280x1024 [03:08] just tweaks, having an ati driver [03:08] Does anyone actually know about OSS? Otherwise I'll respectfully leave. [03:08] <\bMike\b> Squarism: most of that was downloading, and that was on release day [03:08] w1n5ton: There are many computers that Ubuntu won't even boot successfully on. [03:08] what is oos?

[03:11] Lxndr: if u right click volume icon on taskbar u should be able to select pulse audio main controls - check if u can see anything there [03:11] brandon: there is no preferences in the main menu under system, nor is there an option for anything that has to do with the menu or shortcuts [03:12] ? === edward is now known as Blades [03:12] sutur: what with?

Go to synaptics and download libflashsupport [03:18] Lxndr: ok, have another browser installed? [03:18] mobasher: I'll go ahead and remake the usb-boot key.

But, sorry. [03:30] Strike that I used more than one. [03:30] ubuntuuuu: you used 3. but, ok [03:30] I'm used to it. [03:31] Lxndr: and reinstall firefox [03:31] Anyway. [03:32] Lxndr: that way it "should" get rid of any settings left over [03:33] lanparty=}} https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingHotmailWithEvolution [03:34] is there anything like "top" for networking ? [03:34] CountDuckula: working on it. [03:34] Is there any simple way to remove Ubuntu from my dual boot system? Everything I've read indicates unless I change the MBR with a windows recovery/set up disc, and I delete the ubuntu partition I'm screwed. [03:35] deac0n: nmap [03:35] doh [03:35] Thanks [03:35] whiplash92: reformat the ubuntu partition, extend your windows partition, taking that space, then restore the mbr with a windows cd [03:35] am in ubuntu 9.04. can't find mkinitrd. can't find the package initrd-tools either. [03:35] whiplash92: there is a utility in linux that will fix the mbr for windows [03:36] join #ubuntu-cn [03:36] whiplash92: looked for it but I can't remember the name [03:37] deac0n: ntop or iptraf [03:37] whiplash92: if you boot into windows there may be a utility called fixmbr.. log into ##windows and ask there [03:37] When I issue the command "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade", does this also cause my Apache2 server to be updated ? [03:37] Ok, thanks. [03:38] New2Ubuntu: if there is a newer version in the repo, yes [03:38] ok - understand. What about patches to the existing version / [03:38] New2Ubuntu: that's up to the package maintainer [03:39] Please explain [03:39] Thanks CountDuckula [03:40] cyris|: Sorry if you already answered this but I got disconnected. Does the USB drive boot on any other machine? [03:40] New2Ubuntu: the person who maintains the apache package in ubuntu decides whether to patch the current version or update to a newer one completely [03:40] which package contains mkinitrd? [03:41] yao_ziyuan: None, but initramfs-tools contains "update-initramfs" which is used in ubuntu to create initrd images. [03:41] I'm trying to upgrade 10.04 (with do-release-upgrade) but getting error and failing.. The first warning is: "WARNING: Failed to read mirror file" then W:Failed to fetch [03:41] http://ppa.launchpad.net/wvengen/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz [03:41] 404 Not Found [03:41] that would be me, I have just installed Ubuntu 10 & Apache2 three days ago, am fairly new to Linux also. Does the previous command I stated prompt me for all this or do I have to run some other command to get my choices ? [03:41] Jordan_U: what i actually want to do is initrd -s 1024x768. what is the update-initramfs equivalent of this? [03:42] use ubuntu 9.10, i can't conect to projector, may laptop no active, what is it? [03:42] yao_ziyuan: What does that command do? [03:42] pschulz01: you have to disable 3rd party repos [03:42] New2Ubuntu: aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade will update all your packages to the latest version in the repository for your version of ubuntu (assuming it's supported) [03:42] Jordan_U: change bootsplash resolution to 1024x768 [03:42] New2Ubuntu: it will show you everything that is going to be updated, if anything [03:43] !upgrade | pschulz01 [03:43] pschulz01: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [03:43] when you say packages, this includes Apache, SSH server, etc ? [03:43] New2Ubuntu: yes [03:43] New2Ubuntu: packages=programs typically [03:43] yao_ziyuan: Assuming you're not using kernel mode setting, you do that by setting GRUB_GFXMODE_LINUX /etc/default/grub then running "sudo update-grub". [03:43] how can i upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 in xubuntu terminal [03:43] DEEPDISHDAYTONS: sudo do-release-upgrade [03:43] Thanks a bunch, you have cleared up some concerns on my part - appreciate you time. [03:44] Hey guys. Whats a good music player for ubuntu 10.10 [03:44] malachai_: mpd [03:44] thanks [03:45] izinucs: The script gived me the impression that it does that for me. [03:45] pschulz01: you running desktop or server? [03:45] yao_ziyuan: Sorry, make that just GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX. So: GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1024x768 [03:45] desktop [03:46] malachai_: Rhythymbox [03:46] izinucs: had the same problem with the GUI tool. [03:46] pschulz01: you're better off using synaptic to do it.. did my laptop this morning.. and it disabled my 3rd party repos [03:46] pschulz01: you can manually comment it out then try again [03:47] Ok that one comes with it. Thanks. [03:47] anyone else having issues with tweetdeck in ubuntu 10.10 x64? Keeps removing itself and breaks apt... [03:48] hp nx 6325 - anyone know any Ati drivers? - Or Amd driver (The graphics card's a chipset n connected to the usb ports) [03:48] izinucs: Ok.. manually removing the extra 3rd party repo's allowed it to continue. [03:48] beilabs: adobe air perhaps causing the issues.. have you tried gwibber? it'll do triple pains like tweetdeck [03:48] so what are the recommended programs/apps for a new ubuntu user? [03:48] loltph: asking the same question doesn't make better drivers appear [03:49] worth a try, lol :) [03:49] jinchuuriki: inkscape, darktable, scribus, gwibber, apache2, and on and on and on [03:49] Next question.. How do I 'remove/reset' the gnome keyring and password. [03:49] jinchuuriki: vim, screen, openssh, irssi, finch, mpd, ncmpcpp [03:50] jinchuuriki: Open Applications > Ubuntu Software Center and look around :) [03:50] jinchuuriki: I'll second blakkheim [03:50] when I do "netwatch -e eth1" it then proceeds to do a stack dump, with libraries such as /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc-2.10.1.so mentioned. anyone have any clues how to avoid the crashing ? [03:50] jinchuuriki: recommended apps for a new user? there are tons, what purpose are you trying to achieve? [03:51] Is there some tool for unattended ubuntu installation? [03:51] blakkheim: I realize you differentiated between "aptitude dist-upgrade" & "aptitude full-upgrade", what are the differences ? [03:51] ariakus: I don't think so [03:51] ariakus: Yes. [03:51] !install | ariakus [03:51] ariakus: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [03:51] jinchuuriki: there are no recommended apps for new users, other than Synaptic or apt/aptitude/etc. package managers allow you to search through apps that are available, and pick the ones *you* want to use [03:51] New2Ubuntu: dist-upgrade is older, full-upgrade is recommended - but they do basically the same thing [03:52] izinucs, gwibber was atrocious in the last release...might have a look to see if it improved... [03:52] idk games(lol), media playback, some media editing, and what irc is the best on linux/ [03:52] ok, will use full-upgrade from now on then. Thanks again & have a nice night. [03:52] blakkheim: dist-upgrade upgrades existing packages within a release [03:52] i am having a problem mounting an external dvd-rw drive, it isnt showing up in /etc/fstab [03:52] any suggestion> [03:52] izinucs: as does full-upgrade [03:52] blakkheim: umm.. didn't know that.. [03:52] jinchuuriki: there is almost never a "best". the app that suits *you* best is the best for you. :) [03:53] DEEPDISHDAYTONS: Does anything happen when you plug it in and insert a CD? [03:53] jinchuuriki: kvirc and X-Chat (easy to use GUI apps), irssi and WeeChat (feature-packed text mode apps) are the ones I recommend you try [03:53] will musicbrainz app search the web for and correct missing track info? [03:54] how d'you setup java for firefox? [03:54] !java > loltph [03:54] loltph, please see my private message [03:54] loltph: what distro? [03:54] nvm [03:54] it reads it but i am having trouble reading it through wine [03:55] and locating it in /dev [03:55] if i enable a ppa and update the related applications, then disable the ppa what happenes with the version of the application ? [03:55] where can I get Sis Mirage 3 3DX driver for Ubuntu? [03:55] DEEPDISHDAYTONS: /etc/fstab isn't dynamically updated when you plug things in, it's a file you manually edit [03:55] zymbar, it remains untouched [03:55] !install | ariakus [03:55] ariakus, please see my private message [03:55] blakkheim: i wasn't aware of that [03:55] Who can help me with my cd drive problem? [03:55] jinchuuriki: for video codecs, follow this guide to start with: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats also install MPlayer, Xine and VLC, or try any of the dozens of Gnome or KDE specific video players (I prefer the first three, they use less CPU) [03:56] Calkiot, please state the nature of the problem [03:56] untouched until a newer version hits the default repo? [03:56] dragon player isn't bad either on resources [03:56] zymbar, yes [03:56] AbhiJit: ok, thanks [03:56] zymbar, welcome [03:56] I just switched to Ubuntu. It doesnt reconize my cd drive?

What is the differnece? [04:05] iainucs & blakkheim: Did some googling & came up with this, "aptitude full-upgrade will update packages unless the upgrade removes dependencies that other packages need". The definition for dist-upgrade does not provide this stipulation. Perhaps that is the difference ? [04:05] who knows anything about compiling kernels?

[04:10] sporkboy: sounds like it's using a default VESA driver, rather than an accelerated driver [04:11] This 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] sporkboy: if you run this command in a terminal, what does it list: lspci|grep -i vga [04:11] New2Ubuntu: i prefer full-upgrade, but use whichever you like the most [04:12] Samus_Aran, let me "install" lspci first. *rolls eyes* [04:12] Im missing /dev/eth0 help [04:12] sporkboy: it shouldn't need to be installed, I've never seen even a stripped down Linux distro without it? [04:13] well, no, my router didn't have it. [04:13] sporkboy: if you know the exact chipset of your video card, you can tell me that instead [04:13] Samus_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. [04:14] Samus_Aran, it's an nvidia geforce 7150m [04:14] sporkboy: if you just run "lspci" you're saying it doesn't find it? [04:14] hrm [04:14] sporkboy: what about: /usr/bin/lspci [04:14] sporkboy@Tak:~$ lspci | grep -i vga [04:14] The program 'lspci' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [04:14] sudo apt-get install pciutils [04:15] i 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 gnome [04:15] Samus_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] sporkboy: sounds like your $PATH may be broken [04:16] sporkboy: does it work when you specify the full path as /usr/bin/lspci ? [04:16] Samus_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] sporkboy: and which version of Ubuntu do you have installed? [04:16] is it new ubuntu feature no /dev/eth0 ? [04:17] Samus_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 10.04 [04:17] juk: not deliberately. [04:17] i m trying to install icons from art.gnome.com but when applying, my folder icon is not changing.. [04:17] am i doing something wrong? [04:17] fr0stbyte: 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) ? [04:18] anyone? [04:18] : I don't seem to need this [04:18] as it is abosolete [04:18] sporkboy: 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 broken [04:18] cfedde: just wondering, Im missing it [04:20] sporkboy: are you in Gnome now, or in text mode or what? [04:20] juk: is there a definition for it in /etc/network/interfaces? [04:20] Samus_Aran, I'm in gnome. I just can't get to google earth or the nvidia settings. [04:20] cfedde: yes, eth0 [04:21] juk: did you change networking somehow? new card, new VM something like that? [04:22] juk: 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] sporkboy: do you have a package "nvidia-glx-185" available? that one on my version of Ubuntu says that it supports your card [04:22] cfedde: no, not really [04:22] hi [04:22] quiescens: no ifconfig have it [04:23] Samus_Aran, sure do. and I don't know that I tried that one specifically. I'll give it a shot. [04:23] juk: um.. Maybe I'm guessing wrong. did it used to be there? is it listed in the boot time dmesg? [04:23] juk: well there isn't normally a file for network interfaces in /dev [04:23] does anyone know if i can change scale of brightness of my netbook display? (the darkest level is still to bright for me) [04:23] in 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 tell [04:23] anyone? [04:24] sporkboy: 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] Hey [04:24] cfedde: I don't remember I think so, yes listed [04:25] quiescens: you too, don't have it? [04:25] Samus_Aran, there's nothing new in Additional Drivers after installing. [04:25] juk: so does it show up in ifconfig? [04:25] how do you set partition type Linux Raid Auto in parted? [04:25] sporkboy: 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] cfedde: yes [04:25] sporkboy: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:25] Samus_Aran, it doesn't, but nvidia-xconfig does it. [04:25] juk: then I'm confused. What are you saying is missing? a file in /dev? [04:26] there is not normaly one there. [04:26] cfedde: yes I meant '/dev/eth0' [04:26] sporkboy: 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 restart [04:26] sporkboy: or reboot. [04:26] I failed to read your question correctly. There typicaly is not a /dev/eth0 [04:27] To 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] sporkboy: or logout of Gnome, then do: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, to kill off Xorg and it will reload with nVIDIA drivers. [04:27] Samus_Aran, is this the line I need in /proc/modules: nvidia 11083997 0 - Live 0xffffffffa029e000 (P) [04:28] sporkboy: yes. :) [04:28] ok, gonna try reloading. [04:28] any good site for installing new icon packs in ubuntu 10.10 ? [04:28] sporkboy: good luck [04:28] I upgraded to maverick from lucid, now network manger doesn't work [04:29] wicd doesn't work either [04:29] gah would there be an easy way to reinstall graphics and gnome to default without losing all my applets and such [04:29] cfedde: wiresharks says There are no interfaces on which a capture can be done, I got confused [04:29] Exploiter_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] Hi [04:30] juk: same problem with tcpdump? [04:30] Exploiter_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 with [04:30] Samus_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] is having some issue with nautilus elementary? after i installed my system is not responding when i try to open folders [04:30] cfedde: yes, no suitable device found [04:31] My sound was working. Now apparently I have no sound card installed. How can I reinstall this sound card? [04:31] Exploiter_Ind: which version of Gnome are you using? and which URL did you download the icon pack from? [04:31] default for 10.10 [04:31] I 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] juk: sudo tcpdump shows that error? [04:31] Lxndr: most likely it is just muted [04:31] I have verified that the password is functional by using the su command. [04:31] Lxndr: try loading a terminal and running the command: alsamixer [04:32] Samus_Aran: It is not! I am getting a 'no sound card' error. [04:32] I still cannot log in as root with the GUI. [04:32] http://art.gnome.org/download/themes/icon/1111/ICON-StillLife.tar.bz2 [04:32] Samus_ this one [04:32] Lxndr: 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 unmute [04:32] Does the 10.10 kernel support wireless N? [04:32] Please someone help me I'm losing hair over this. [04:33] Lxndr: okay, which soundchip? lspci|grep audio [04:33] Exploiter_Ind: checking. :) [04:33] cfedde: hehe, here we go, thanks [04:33] userx64, is login out into graphical login is not working? [04:33] Samus_Aran: I run alsamixer, and I get 'cannot open mixer: connection refused' [04:33] juk: cool! [04:33] Samus_Aran: when I do the lspci|grep audio, it comes up with nothing [04:34] Samus_Aran: It *used* to say "00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller" [04:34] Exploiter_Ind: You mean when I click log off, in order to log in as another user? [04:34] userx64, yes i think you can loggin into root [04:34] Samus_Aran: (at least according to my scrollback) [04:34] userx64, not sure.. bty [04:34] /join #reddit-ubuntu [04:35] lxndr: you should probably be using grep -i for that if you aren't already [04:35] Exploiter_Ind: I don't seem to have a log off. [04:35] Lxndr: 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 slot [04:35] ok [04:35] how do i install deb packages on ubuntu server command line? [04:35] Samus_Aran: did it worked(icon) ?? [04:35] quiescens: in this case, not needed. the exact wording is "Multimedia audio controller" [04:35] ajsie: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb for deb files that aren't in a repository [04:35] Samus_Aran: it is built into the motherboard. it was working before a most recent reboot. [04:35] Samus_Aran: Which makes me think it has something to do with the OS. [04:35] samus_aran: wouldn't that depend on their chipset? [04:36] how 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 msg [04:36] or do we alredy know what chipset they have [04:36] Exploiter_Ind: Do you have any suggestions beyond seeing if I am about to log out of the current user? [04:36] about = able [04:36] rww: thanks! [04:36] Samus_Aran, rebooted straight to terminal login. [04:36] trial and error best way to learn new things.. !! [04:37] Exploiter_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] Lxndr: if it doesn't show up in lspci, then the BIOS doesn't know about it [04:37] I 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. [04:38] 143322 Samus_Aran: It *used* to say "00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller" [04:38] Samus_Aran: Okay. I will point out it showed up before the most recent reboot. [04:38] theirs clearly used to be Audio [04:38] Samus_Aran, yes most icons are replaced but most needed folder icons are not.. [04:38] Lxndr: try rebooting, if that doesn't work, check the BIOS settings. perhaps the battery is dead and it forgot the BIOS settings [04:38] and not audio [04:38] hi [04:38] but hey, ignore me [04:38] Samus_Aran: Okay, rebooting again. I hope you're still here when I come back. [04:38] #join slackware [04:39] Exploiter_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 64x64 [04:39] userx64, 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] ok [04:40] is there a way to run "apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg" without uninstalling ubuntu-desktop? [04:40] sporkboy: 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] I need help installing ubuntu [04:40] quiescens: 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. [04:41] quiescens: or maybe I am wrong. that sometimes happens, too. :) [04:41] :O [04:41] userx64, 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. [04:42] can use wireshark to monitor traffic on the remote? [04:42] Im using ubuntu right now i just need it on my laptop and it just boots in command line. Someone please help [04:42] fr0stbyte: 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 dependencies [04:42] anyone noticed that wifi on ubuntu 10.10 is hellishly slow with atheros cards? [04:42] i did [04:42] jjmwood1: which version did you install? [04:42] 10.10 === aarcane__ is now known as aarcane [04:43] rohan: my father has an Atheros card on an old Ubuntu version, and it never goes over 100KB/sec [04:43] PratikPatel: what did you do to solve it? [04:43] I'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] thanks Samus, im not sure how to do that dpkg & ignore dependencies, but im googling it [04:43] well, 150KB/sec sometimes... [04:43] jjmwood1: what happens when you run startx from the command line? [04:43] Samus_Aran: any solution? [04:43] i used the minial cd to do it [04:43] This is gonna be hard.. [04:43] rohan, I didn't [04:43] PratikPatel: so..? changed the card? [04:43] rohan: I just bought an ethernet extension cord for him... :/ sorry. [04:43] sporkboy: 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] rohan, nope [04:43] Samus_Aran: lol [04:43] !atheros [04:43] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:43] jjmwood1: you probably just missed the X11 and gnome bits when you did that. [04:44] PratikPatel: then? you don't use wifi? [04:44] should i install shellinabox_2.10-1_amd64.deb or shellinabox_2.10-1_i386.deb for my Ubuntu server? [04:44] jjmwood1: you probably just need to install gnome. [04:44] rohan: 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] rohan: by "worked", I mean 150KB/sec max. [04:44] rohan, I noticed weired things the issues only happend in some networks. [04:44] How would i do that? [04:44] gah that's crap [04:44] * islington is away: Gone away for now [04:45] * islington is back. [04:45] jjmwood1: probably 'sudo apt-get install gnome' [04:46] rohan, i think it's a driver issue, because on those network my wireless adapter performed better in other not ideal operating systems. [04:46] jjmwood1: that'll take a while to finish. [04:46] sporkboy: 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.txt [04:46] PratikPatel: yeah, wifi works fine for me on windwos [04:46] What is the default username and password on a live cd? [04:46] hey anybody good with internet connection sharing? Ive got a few issues.. [04:47] Ubuntu 10.10 uses a different mouse driver. I'm so happy I want to cry. I have been wanting a better driver for the mouse for years, to make window-dragging smoother. [04:47] userx64, 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] I'm installing X11 right now. [04:47] Hi 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] can 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] rohan: 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 easy [04:47] Chaos2358: amarok [04:47] Samus_Aran: atheros driver is completely open [04:47] Samus_Aran, should I do Xorg.1.log since I've started x again? [04:48] rohan, amarok doesnt search the web for missing info [04:48] jjmwood1: very cool. [04:48] What is the default username and password on a live cd? [04:48] Samus, I ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" before the remove/purge, and it still says its going to remove ubuntu-desktop [04:48] rohan: which are very slow and crashy. [04:48] Chaos2358: hmm. on kde 3.5 it did [04:48] how can i see what ubuntu version i have? [04:48] Ok I tried to get Gnome but it said it could not find it [04:48] Samus_Aran: atk9k works fine on fedora.. [04:48] ajsie: lsb_release -a in a terminal [04:48] rohan, yea not on lucid. cowbell has the option but wont actually connect [04:49] nevermind. sorry [04:49] bastidrazor: no such command [04:49] lsb_release -a [04:49] cat /etc/lsb-release [04:49] jjmwood1: with the capital "G"? try with lower case. [04:49] that worked however [04:49] ajsie: cat /etc/issue [04:50] fr0stbyte: dpkg --force-all --purge package_name ...but be careful using a shotgun on your system [04:50] Nope, Still nothin [04:50] what does lsb stand for? [04:50] ajsie: Linux Standards Base [04:50] okay [04:50] !lsb | ajsie [04:50] ajsie: 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. [04:51] Samus, 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 fine [04:51] ajsie: it is a group that releases "suggestions" for how distros can lay out the filesystem, where systems files are placed and so forth. [04:51] thanks for the command :D [04:51] *system files [04:51] Samus_Aran: I tried rebooting. It didn'twork, so I got into the BIOS (I think) and everything was 'enabled' === MenZa is now known as lhavelund [04:51] Samus_Aran, I have no xorg.conf, but: http://pastebin.com/qCJLyvMf [04:51] Samus_Aran: okay [04:51] Lxndr: try using a Live CD and see if the audio works, e.g. the Ubuntu Install CD [04:52] jjmwood1: not sure what is broke. Is the fully up to date? connected to the network? right repositories selected? etc? [04:52] rohan, what version of fedora? [04:52] samus: The only ubuntu install CD I have is 8.04, and I have no CD burner. Should I do it? [04:52] Lxndr: 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 disappearance [04:52] Samus_Aran: The only ubuntu install CD I have is 8.04, and I have no CD burner. Should I do it? [04:52] how do you scroll back in byobu/screen and irssi.. pgUP/down doesn't work with screen [04:52] Lxndr: sure. don't install it, simply boot to the Gnome desktop, then try playing a sound file and see if it works [04:53] PratikPatel: 14 beta [04:53] Yeah. Im thinking its the Graphics Card. I have a Compaq Armada e500, The graphics card is a ATI Rage. Its an Older computer so it might not recignise it [04:53] Samus_Aran: Sadly, it's... integrated into the system. Dell Laptop. [04:53] rohan, thanks [04:53] Samus_Aran: So if I do it, I'll be reinstalling. [04:53] Samus_Aran: I'm going to try one more reboot. Will be back for your answer. [04:53] izinucs: PageUp works fine in GNU Screen (using it at the moment in irssi). it may be that your keyboard is a multimedia one that has screwed up scancodes. what is byobu? [04:54] jjmwood1: you'd expect some error message from the software rather than a failure to install. [04:54] Samus_Aran: laptop [04:54] izinucs: if you go to a new screen and run the command "read" and press PageUp, what code is displayed? mine is: ^[[5~ [04:54] jjmwood1: did install of X11 succeed? [04:55] Samus_Aran: actually working now :/.. weird [04:55] It said it is up to date. Maybe I need to reboot [04:55] jjmwood1: probably not. [04:55] now when you run startx you might see something. [04:55] Hi! everybody!!! good day.. [04:56] izinucs: 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] I tried the Live CD that I used for this computer but when i click install Its just sits there and doesnt do anything [04:56] jjmwood1: odd. [04:56] izinucs: if you want to change the scrollback options, check: /set scroll [04:57] Samus_Aran: yea.. I've been using it for a while but really haven't needed to "dive" into it. [04:57] not sure how to help. I've had trouble installing 10.10 on an antique panasonic tough book cf-72. But 8.04 ran great on that box. [04:57] anyone gets this to work: http://code.google.com/p/shellinabox/ in Ubuntu 10.4? [04:57] jjmwood1: not sure how to help. I've had trouble installing 10.10 on an antique panasonic tough book cf-72. But 8.04 ran great on that box. [04:57] Samus_Aran: nice.. [04:57] Im going to try the live cd again [04:57] izinucs: or just go "/set" by itself to see all configuration options, there are tons. :p [04:58] izinucs: 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] NFS 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] Samus_Aran: I did a boot into an earlier kernel, and sound is now working. Any tips on making sure this becomes the 'default' kernel? [04:59] spinningcompass: yes [04:59] Samus_Aran, I think I found the actual problem in my kernel log: http://pastebin.com/c7Xb1N9S line 842-ish [04:59] heres 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] spinningcompass: yes nfs does not span mountpoints. [04:59] Samus_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] spinningcompass: 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/movies [04:59] at the black command area but cant enter any commands [04:59] anyone know the command for dleting one type of file from ANYWHERE on the harddrive? [05:00] izinucs: GNU Screen is by far my favourite app of all time, as it is so time-saving, efficient and useful [05:00] Samus_Aran: do you use the split function? [05:00] 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 that [05:01] Samus_Aran: While my reboot fixed my audio, it seems to have still killed my microphone. Any ideas on how to salvage that? [05:01] fr0stbyte: 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 user [05:01] izinucs: 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. [05:02] Samus_Aran: how do you do verticle? and can you combine horizontal and verticle? [05:02] izinucs: 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 windows [05:02] thanks mate.. i feel like im getting somewhere here, my shell is now a higher resolution, used to be big text [05:02] izinucs: sure. Ctrl+A | [05:02] anyone know the command for dleting one type of file from ANYWHERE on the harddrive? [05:03] Saik, couldn't you just pipe find to rm? [05:03] izinucs: easy to remember, as it looks like a vertical line. Ctrl+A Shift+Q and Shift+X for closing splits. [05:03] Saik, sudo rm /home//Desktop/file.ext [05:03] Samus_Aran: that's easy :) how do you switch sides [05:03] izinucs: Ctrl+A Tab [05:03] Samus_Aran: I am now getting sound, but lspci|grep audio is still returning nothing. [05:03] Lxndr: try: lspci|grep -i audio [05:04] Samus_Aran: just found that.. same as horiz... just couldn't see the cursor.. [05:04] Lxndr: I may have messed up [05:04] bye [05:04] hello everybody ..... i want install a jar file java some body can help me cuz i have hours trid pliz [05:04] AbhiJit: would rm -rf ~/win *.tmp work? [05:04] izinucs: you can also set up fancy splits like I use, with colours and pretty separator lines [05:04] hello all [05:04] Samus_Aran: Okay, that works. The reboot (with a different kernel/startup option) seems to have fixed my speakers, but it's still borked my microphone. Can you help with troubleshooting that? [05:04] radikal: pretty much just drop it into a directory where Java will find it. [05:04] cfedde, Samus_Aran: Thank you. [05:04] AbhiJit: I'm mounting windowspartion to clean it the easy way [05:04] izinucs: I always have the title of the screen at the bottom, so I never forget what a screen is for. Ctrl+A Shift+A to set the title of a screen [05:05] Whoa! So far its installing [05:05] mmm so just i need put the file on the java carpet? [05:05] From the live cd [05:05] Samus_Aran: I've got one verticle and 2 horizontal.. yee ha.. [05:05] sporkboy, I have nevertte,pted it, and it's not my pc [05:05] you can use the screen command to show more than 1 at a time? [05:05] radikal: you don't install jar files, you execute them with Java. java -jar file.jar [05:05] hi [05:05] Saik, what /exactly/ are you trying to do? [05:05] sporkboy, In other words, not experimenting without some research first, hence why I'm here [05:05] radikal: 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 Java [05:06] sporkboy, I'm mounting windows partion to clean it the easy way [05:06] i read i need uncomprez like .sh and after run but the command lines in terminal i cant figurate [05:06] yes i have 1.6 [05:06] i've just learned that "sudo screen" has a slightly different behaviour than regular "screen" in regards to make. sudo screen doesn't expand environment variables like $JAVA_HOME whereas screen does [05:06] sporkboy, XP pro and it's got alot of issues.. 2gb tmp files to start with [05:06] i can't install a software named ppstream .who can help me [05:06] does anybody know how to fix this? [05:06] Saik, nono... exactly what you're trying to do. [05:07] Saik: "rm -rf ~/win *.tmp" would forcibly remove the win folder in your home folder, and all files ending in ".tmp" in the current folder [05:07] ppstream [05:07] ppstream [05:07] ppstream [05:07] fuqin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:07] sporkboy, remove all the.tmp files from the hard drive [05:07] oh [05:07] just shared a folder. Shouldn't it visible to windows machines? [05:07] saik... okay... gimme a sec.. but you can always test the command with something harmless like ls. [05:08] deadroot: 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 check [05:08] sporkboy, ok, thanks, I just booted the 2nd live Cd I have, gota mount it, brb [05:08] deadroot: try using: sudo -i screen [05:08] Samus_Aran: source /etc/environment was explicitly loaded and $JAVA_HOME explicitly tests fine [05:08] fuqin: ppstream is a windows software, am i right? === Toxic is now known as Guest91629 [05:08] okay. i'll try that. thanks [05:09] Samus_Aran: It appears using lscpi|grep -i audio. The reboot (with a different kernel/startup option) seems to have fixed my speakers, but it's still borked my microphone. Can you help with troubleshooting that? [05:09] deadroot: if that doesn't work, you can use: sudo su - [05:09] deadroot: then run "screen" [05:09] que tranza komo stan to2 [05:09] Samus_Aran: that didn't worked [05:09] trying alternate === adrian is now known as Guest47454 [05:09] a orales [05:09] deadroot: but make sure you close the old screen session first, so it isn't using the broken one [05:09] que chido [05:10] the program trid to install is ultramixer [05:10] Guest47454: English only in #Ubuntu [05:10] sporkboy, ls finds nothing *.tmp [05:10] Samus_Aran: oh. that worked! thanks :D [05:10] how do I share a folder so that windows can use? [05:10] which site to use for image pasting [05:11] monty_hall: right mouse click it and "share" .. it will install what's needed [05:11] Saik, do: find /mntpoint -name \*.tmp === realkwen is now known as newklear [05:11] I did that but I can't see the share on the windows machine. [05:11] sporkboy, k brb [05:12] what's the default workgroup that ubuntu uses? [05:12] !samba | monty_hall [05:12] monty_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] Saik, if that shows the files you're wanting to remove, then this will delete them: find /mntpoint -name \*.tmp | xargs -ifile rm -rf file [05:12] hello [05:12] I 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/gpu [05:12] deadroot: "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. [05:13] thanks [05:13] Ameth: should work well [05:13] ubuntu 10.04 here...dual battery icons? [05:13] deadroot: there is a way for sudo to do a full login shell, but if it's not -i then I'm not sure [05:13] and they both direct to the same battery === Reverend_Ruff is now known as zzReverend_Ruffz [05:13] lol [05:13] heya, someone mentioned i can use the alternate install ISO to do a distro update without having to download all the packages from the slowest servers ever through the update manager. i've got the iso, what do i do with it? [05:13] sporkboy, find -name *.tmp lists tons so I'm supposed to add | xargs -ifile rm -rf name to the command? [05:13] monty_hall: either use FAT32 (with the vfat driver) or NTFS (with the ntfs-3g driver) [05:13] fuqin: FloodBot1 is a bot; it is unlikely to have enough sentience to help you. [05:13] ubuntu 10.10 nbr is a mess [05:13] Samus_Aran: deadroot sudo login shell is the "rescue" kernel [05:14] monty_hall: unless you mean a network share, then you can use Samba or NFS [05:14] sporkboy, find -name *.tmp lists tons so I'm supposed to add "| xargs -ifile rm -rf name" to the command? * [05:14] Samus_Aran: so "sudo -i" is supposed to have the same effect as "sudo su -". unfortunately that didn't succeeded [05:14] researcher1: tinypic.com is nice [05:14] Samus_Aran: thanks [05:14] deadroot: sudo -i should work.. the last character on the terminal prompt will change to # from $ [05:15] deadroot: sudo -i says it will run the command with a full login first [05:15] izinucs: it did. but the make still failed to expand the environment variable [05:15] Saik, 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. [05:16] sweet, i just read the gnu screen guide and its awesome. never would have known, thanks samus and whoever brought it up [05:16] Saik, wait, no... xargs -ifile rm -rf file. [05:16] fr0stbyte: :) [05:16] sporkboy, so not "name" but "file"? [05:16] Samus_Aran: I mean to ask guidance on screenshots of system failure not any other pictures [05:17] Saik, 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) [05:18] sporkboy, gotcha. thanks. I'll let ya know if it works. [05:20] so, 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 it [05:21] hi [05:21] SoulShadow|Lappy, maybe you have two batteries? [05:21] i don't [05:21] sporkboy, Saik: GNU Find has a built-in method which replaces xargs: find /some/folder -name '*.abc' -exec rm -rf {} + [05:21] both icons show the same battery, and it's never shown it before today [05:21] sporkboy, Saik: the + acts the same as passing to xargs [05:22] Samus_Aran, thanks, bu its already been entered and run [05:22] Samus_Aran, sweet. maybe I'll actually remember it next time I need it ;) [05:22] SoulShadow|Lappy: that's funny.. my battery icon just disappeared.. I'm plugged in but it's usually sitting there showing me it's charging [05:23] sporkboy, probably not though lol there is something helpful in rm, but long forgot it lol [05:23] izinucs, that usually means it's not charging nor being used [05:23] but yeah, i took this laptop apart and put it back together, because the charge port was being finicky, and now i have two battery icons, wtfs [05:23] sporkboy, sent ya pm to not distract the chan [05:23] SoulShadow|Lappy: yep.. just yanked the cord and it reappeared [05:24] okay... apparently my nvidia kernel module and 'client' are different versions. how do I get the newer kernel module in? [05:28] i installed chromium in ubuntu maverick but flash doesnt work and i cant install it since it says that i already have flash. how do i fix this [05:29] Besides changing startup items and effects, is there an easy way to speed up ubuntu? [05:30] researcher1: screenshots of system failures means that the screenshot can't be taken by the OS (unless running in a virtual machine), so just use a digital camera and take a shot of the screen. :) [05:31] can anyone help me [05:31] Samus_Aran: then where do i post it to seek help paste.ubuntu.com or what [05:31] towlie, What do you need help with? [05:32] EvilPhoenix, im using google chrome (chromium) on maverick but no flash videos will play. it says flash is missing. [05:32] towlie: most likely all you need to do is symlink the flash .so file from wherever it is installed, to the place where Chromium looks for plugins (or else tell Chromium to look in the default place where Mozilla Firefox and others look for plugins) [05:32] towlie: most likely all you need to do is symlink the flash .so file from wherever it is installed, to the place where Chromium looks for plugins (or else tell Chromium to look in the default place where Mozilla Firefox and others look for plugins) [05:32] chrome is supposed to just have flash included [05:33] chrome is supposed to just have flash included [05:33] i checked the plugins [05:33] i checked the plugins [05:33] huh [05:33] huh [05:33] lol [05:33] lol [05:33] lol [05:33] lol [05:33] wtf lol [05:33] !lol [05:33] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis.

Anyone here able to help be troubleshoot what might be going on? [05:36] towlie: are you using a 32bit or 64bit Chromium and Ubuntu ? [05:36] gbear14275: If someone here can't, #ubuntuone might be able to. [05:36] 32 bit [05:36] for both [05:37] rww: #ubuntuone seems a bit dead :( [05:37] i'm excited about the future for Ubuntu [05:37] gbear14275: indeed [05:37] um... do you guys have someone named yolandi mirroring your chat? [05:37] yea [05:38] IdleOne: yolandi is sending copies of lines to everyone, please kickban them [05:39] towlie: have you tried running it as: chromium-browser --enable-plugins [05:39] I believe --enable-plugins is the default these days. [05:39] towlie: it seems that the default plugin folder for Chromium is located at: /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/ [05:39] its already enabled [05:39] towlie: check to make sure the 32bit libflashplugin.so is located in that folder [05:40] rww: okay, I don't use Chromium. just saw that on Google. :p === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [05:40] should i use nfs if i'm doing ubuntu-to-ubuntu sharing or is cifs better? [05:41] infid: I would recommend NFS, it is easier to set up [05:42] hey all ... still having wacky wubi problems ... [05:42] but I'm not so sure its wubi itself that is the problem [05:42] I have a Question: You know how you can access your account from any computer in the School? How could I do that? [05:43] jjmwood1, depends do you have some kind of internet connection between both?... something like vnc or remote desktop connection can help there [05:43] ssh? [05:43] yes or ssh... thats another wayt [05:43] thanks Samus_Aran [05:44] anyone familiar with ubuntuone on CLI? [05:44] gbear14275, uh can you be more specfic? [05:44] Both my Computers are running Ubuntu 10.10 and there connected to the internet through a router [05:44] CLI as in command line interface right? [05:45] ForgeAus: I'm having problems running my ubuntuone client from the desktop... was thinking perhaps cli would work instead [05:45] ForgeAus: yes [05:45] infid: have you used NFS before? I can quickly walk you through the basics if you like [05:45] jjmwood1, then you just need some software, either for CLI something like ssh, or for GUI client-server software like vnc or remote dekstop connection [05:46] Ok thanks [05:46] gbear can you be more specific about what kind of problems? [05:47] jjmwood1: FreeNX works well for shared desktops... if you can get it working. last time I tried it was a royal pain in the ass to set up, but it's quicker than TightVNC [05:47] ForgeAus: I can't get the client up and I'm not sure if my folders are synching. I just tried to synch a new folder and can't see it online. Tried to launch the gui app... and nothing came up. [05:47] VNC is slow if it's not over a LAN [05:47] vnc isn't that slow [05:47] vnc is pretty slow over a dialup. [05:48] jjmwood1: teamviewer [05:48] just use RDP if you want to share desktops. [05:48] izinucs, I know teamviewer is huge, but the website is so sketchy! [05:48] it's not that sketchy [05:48] evilrobotsquid: why do you say that? [05:49] SoulShadow|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-up [05:49] izinucs, 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] cfedde: RDP would be faster than VNC? Im trying to set me one up and am having some probs [05:49] I have tried teamviewer but what I mean is When I log on I Have the same stuff in my profile when im on the laptop or the Desktop [05:50] gbear14275, ahh I see what your saying, I don't know mch about that online ubuntu one stuff... [05:50] oh, i didn't realize we were talking dial up [05:50] jimisrvrox: I guess I default to rdp because most of my coworkers use windows world stuff. [05:50] I use TightVNC as it is easier to set up than anything else on any OS, heh. but it is very slow compared to RDP, Remote Administrator, NX-Server, etc. [05:50] i forgot people still used dialup [05:50] evilrobotsquid: just by the look of it? It does have a corporate "want to make money" feel to it.. [05:50] ForgeAus: ok thanks anyways... I'll keep poking around google [05:50] vnc is ok... rdp is ok whatever works for jjmwood1 is what matters [05:50] cfedde: are you good with setting up vnc stuff? [05:50] on linux of cours [05:50] ForgeAus: I killed a couple processes... seems like something is happening now [05:50] gbear14275, I recommend you check your network/internet settings to make sure your online first of all [05:51] jimisrvrox: I have done it. Not much of a challenge iirc. [05:51] RDP served from Linux is far more difficult to set up than TightVNC. easy as a client, just install a GUI app and run it [05:51] jimisrvrox: but most of the time ssh is all I realy want linux to linux. [05:51] ForgeAus: chatting with you :) [05:51] gbear14275, also does ubuntu one have any way to check their remote services are online and running? [05:51] ForgeAus: yes, but I need to find out how again... [05:51] ForgeAus: yes.. [05:52] SoulShadow|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] Samus_Aran, that depends on your distro and what come with it, but it can be [05:52] 2010-10-17 - We're currently investigating a problem that is preventing the client from connecting to the service. [05:52] i've not used tightvnc, i've only vnc'd on windows and it was a while back, i can't remember [05:52] what i used [05:52] Samus_Aran, I've seen RDP working out of the box, hassle free before... [05:52] found my issue... [05:52] SoulShadow|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 slow [05:52] Samus_Aran, but that could just be an isolated case [05:53] Samus_Aran, there's nothin saying VNC can't store one [05:53] ForgeAus: 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 interface [05:53] there are other VNC programs [05:53] cfedde: 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 box [05:53] gbear14275, :) awesome [05:53] SoulShadow|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] ForgeAus: well kinda... just means the problem is something I can't fix :) [05:54] jimisrvrox: 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] cfedde: 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] ew pclinuxos === TermanaN900_ is now known as TermanaN900 [05:54] SoulShadow|Lappy: Windows has many more VNC clients than does GNU+Linux, unfortunately. many are shareware or commercial [05:54] HELP [05:54] Samus_Aran, no closed-source free ones? [05:54] jimisrvrox: wicd will let you do that.. network-manager didn't for me [05:54] Samus_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 candidates [05:55] cfedde: well I would like to see the remote desktop but I think I can do cd burning via command line no? [05:55] my PC was Ubuntu 10.04LTS, [05:55] if you want some app from the remote to display on the local just be sure to use -X [05:55] jimisrvrox: you can. [05:55] easier to just to a remote X login. [05:55] SoulShadow|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 versions [05:55] imho [05:55] set up gdm to permit remote logins. [05:55] jimisrvrox: sure, you can do almost anything from text mode. :) [05:56] jimisrvrox, I think #linux would be more appropriate for PCLinuxOS help if their support channel is mostly dead [05:56] can use wireshark to monitor traffic on the remote? [05:56] cfedde: how? [05:56] Samus_Aran: I need to research details.. give me a minute or two. [05:56] Samus_Aran: im aware of that :) Im just trying to figure out how to set the static IP to survive reboot :) [05:56] I 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 to [05:56] cfedde: I see the option for remote stuff in GDM, but I've never actually encountered anyone using anything remote with GDM, heh [05:57] Samus_Aran: it was the way we used to do things back when X11 "terminals" were popular. [05:57] ubuntu91human: 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 install [05:57] * SoulShadow|Lappy is afraid of the 10.04 -> 10.10 upgrade button [05:57] so 10.10 cover my original boot settings, so that I can not boot without my USB-Pen driver, [05:57] SoulShadow lol I don't blame you [05:57] Samus_Aran please help [05:57] not that i have anything worth saving on here, but still [05:57] cfedde: I have used LTSP before, which was a very nice solution for computer labs, but that's only "remote" about 20 feet. :p [05:58] Samus_Aran, souns like fun :) [05:58] I just want my 10.04 BACK [05:58] SoulShadow|Lappy, I'll upgrade after 1 or 2month... [05:58] Samus_Aran: X11 over the net can be a pain. Though there are protocols for compressing it. [05:59] I cannot boot without my USB-pendriver [05:59] hmm Cannonball's quit message lied they don't have to be EXTREMEly large values of two, just large enough tto be rounded up instead of down [05:59] how to restore all the boot stuff? [05:59] so 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.. === MashTomato is now known as MashPotato [05:59] ForgeAus: 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 free [05:59] so I can boot from HDD and shows a menu and automatically booting if I didn't choose in 10 seconds [06:00] ForgeAus: oh, and a decent fast switch [06:00] gigabit from the server to the switch, 100Mbps to the individual computers [06:00] can't I just recover my 10.04? [06:00] ubuntu91human: Why can you just Put 10.10 On a flash drive, Delete the 10.10 and reinstall [06:00] jimisrvrox: are both devices connected to the same hub/switch? [06:00] jimisrvrox: are they configured in the same /24 network? [06:01] the 10.10 is now on my USB-pen, but my HDD one still has 10.04 intact. [06:01] jimisrvrox: how are they physically connected? if they are a direct cable connection, you need to use a cross-over cable [06:01] jimisrvrox: past that, simply confirm they are on the same sub-net [06:01] I just need to restore my booting proeess [06:01] jimisrvrox: can each system ping their own IP address? [06:01] jjmwood1 please help [06:01] ubuntu91human, Remove the PenDrive, Boot from Ubuntu Live CD and reinstall GRUB [06:01] Krishnandu, I will try, tell me how please [06:01] Samus_Aran: jimisrvrox with most modern 1Gbit cards you don't even need a crossover. They autodetect as part of the defualt protocol. [06:02] ubuntu91human, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [06:02] thank you Krishnandu [06:02] ubuntu91human: Remove the USB-Pen and boot off the HDD [06:03] I'm going to try now, hope this works [06:03] yeah, modern NIC's autodetect [06:03] Samus_Aran: re remote x11 consoles. The details are in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf [06:03] but if I remove usb pen, it will show that it can't find a device [06:03] ubuntu91human, BTW isn't Ubuntu 10.04 in the menu..?? [06:03] Samus_Aran: the section in there you are looking for is the XDMCP part. And you want to enable it. [06:03] Samus_Aran: that is on the server side. [06:04] ubuntu91human, Ohh that means bootloader got installed in pen drive, but still what about the old bootloader in HDD?? [06:04] er.. the xwindows .. client... hehe. [06:04] yes, Ubuntu 10.04 is still on the menu, but not the first options, the first 2 were Ubuntu 10.10 [06:04] what 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 error [06:04] hello [06:04] cfedde: I had heard about that, but not actually seen it in action. [06:04] cfedde: in the GDM configuration in /etc/gdm/ ? [06:04] ubuntu91human, first tell me where is your bootloader installed?? Pendrive or HDD?? [06:04] I want to install my Huawei 3G USB modem in my Ubuntu 9.4 [06:05] Krishnandu, nope, if the bootloder was in USB-pen, it should have boot from USB alone, but it can't [06:05] Samus_Aran: in the section about xdmcp [06:05] cfedde: thanks, I will try that some time soonish :) [06:05] heh. [06:05] it's pretty cool. [06:05] but in all instructions i've found there is needed an internet connection [06:05] ubuntu91human: So is Ubuntu 10.04 one of the Optiond to boot from? [06:05] it 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] ubuntu91human, that means bootloader is in HDD, then just remove the pen drive and boot into 10.04 and do sudo update-grub [06:05] anyone can help me install it without internet ? [06:06] Testerski: where are the instructions for installing it *with* an Internet connection? [06:06] I 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. [06:07] Samus_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 iface [06:07] 10.10 sucks!! It never shows an option where to put GRUB to, that's why I am now in this shape [06:07] jimisrvrox: the standard rj45 cat 4 cable is streight through. [06:08] I was just trying to install 10.10 into my USB-pen from Ubuntu 10.04 [06:08] jimisrvrox: 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] jimisrvrox: 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 each [06:08] is gpg already installed or do i have to install it? [06:08] but now both my Ubuntu 10.04 and USB-pen(was Ubuntu 10.04 too) all mess up because of this SHIT GRUB stuff!!! [06:09] markboston: It's already installed [06:09] tell 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. [06:10] ubuntu91human: 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 to [06:10] Samus_Aran: I would think it would be ok for them to be on the same subnet [06:10] jimisrvrox: they need to be on the same sub-net to ping each other [06:10] jimisrvrox: or else have a bridge between the nets [06:10] right [06:10] 10.04 has better installation options which 10.10 doesn't have [06:10] ubuntu91human, 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 you [06:11] jimisrvrox: or a gateway, e.g. to the Internet. what are the two IPs, and what are their Masks ? [06:11] Krishnandu, if bootloader got installed in pendriver, it would have booted from Pen-driver alone, but it cannot [06:11] wola [06:12] ubuntu91human, so can you boot your PC without the pendrive..?? [06:12] is there a way to use a proxy with irssi ?? [06:12] but I CAN boot from my Pen-driver ALONE when it is 10.04 inside of pendriver. [06:12] ubuntu91human, god forget past...and answer what I'm asking... [06:12] nope, I cannot boot my PC without pendriver, it will shows, cannot find a device [06:13] I am asnwering [06:13] ubuntu91human, ok...and you can't boot from the pendrive alone..?? [06:13] cannot [06:13] both PC or pendriver fail to boot alone [06:13] lol...whr is the bootloader then... [06:13] anyway... [06:14] but I am 100% sure it can boot from PC alone or pendriver alone just 1 days ago.

[06:23] rilliam: it is added to GRUB by default, so just hit Esc to enter the GRUB menu and select it [06:23] hasek79, BTW you can always use grub --version [06:23] Samus_Aran: thanks [06:23] Error404NotFound: you should notify the ppa author and get support from them. sadly, that is the issue with some ppa's. they break things. [06:23] the newest ubuntu [06:23] Samus_Aran: ok so its grub and not grub2, because my undersatnding is that grub2 is now to hold shift key down not esx [06:23] bastidrazor, yup, just did [06:24] Samus_Aran: I hold shift down and nothing happens, so its ESC not shift right? [06:24] hasek79, then you are using grub2. BTW as I said before you can always use grub --version === james is now known as Guest1808 [06:24] Samus_Aran: Thanks [06:24] ok [06:24] thanks [06:24] you're welcome :) [06:25] apt-get install sun-java6-jre isn't working?? === molecule is now known as diving [06:25] shades, enable partner repo [06:25] Stupid question: My FF is totally bombing (have to restart it after it's been running for an hour or so every time I go to use it) so.. How can I install google-chrome the ubuntu-way? [06:25] !partner | shades [06:25] shades: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [06:25] shades: are you trying to play minecraft as well? [06:25] I see chromium, but I want google-chrome [06:26] rilliam: no [06:26] shades, System > Administration > Sources, enable partner repository [06:26] or i can run 'enable partner repo' from the cli? [06:26] rilliam: ah, I have avoided GRUB2 like the plauge, it is very difficult to use! :p [06:26] shades, NO!! [06:26] shades, sure you can [06:27] shades, just paste the link from the bot above [06:27] shades: your repositories are in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* === Dave is now known as Guest61209 [06:27] shades: usually you just need to uncomment the one you want to add [06:27] Krishnandu, sure he can [06:27] soreau, I'd say just get ir from google's site and install. [06:27] Samus_Aran: i havent used it. sure if you wanna walk me through that'd help [06:27] bazhang, I didn't knew...does that really work..?? enable partner repo?? [06:27] infid: you were asking aobut FNS? [06:27] *about NFS [06:28] Can anyone help me with my missing sound icon? [06:28] Krishnandu, no, see the bot link [06:28] kcj: do you still have sound, or are you just missing the icon? [06:28] Samus_Aran: I'm missing the icon. [06:28] Samus_Aran: yeah. someone set up a samba share though, does that mean i can't use nfs to connect to it i take it? [06:29] hi all. i try to install ubuntu server 10.10 x64 on my desktop but I can't boot the installation cd. it shows me "1. (no text) 2. (no text) Select CD-ROM Boot Type" When I enter 1 it shows language selection screen and after choosing "Install ubuntu server" it just reboots. When I enter 2 it thinks for awhile and then reboots without displaying anything. same cd boots fine on my laptop. And ubuntu server 10.04 x64 boots fine on my de [06:29] kcj: okay. right-click on an empty spot on the panel and choose "Add to panel". you should see the sound mixer as one of the items in there. if it's not in the list anywhere, then it probably got uninstalled somehow [06:29] ok [06:29] shades: Are you trying to install on a mac? [06:29] i updated that repository and jre still isn't [06:29] no [06:29] infid: do you mean they set up a Samba share on another computer? [06:29] Samus_Aran: yeah [06:29] infid: you just need to install the Samba client and then mount it [06:29] shutyaev: Are you trying to install on a mac? [06:29] Samus_Aran: ok === MashTomato is now known as MashPotato [06:29] infid: if you want to share your own folders, you can use Samba or NFS [06:30] bazhang, Ya i know that apt-repository thing, but he asked enable partner repo [06:30] nfsv4? [06:30] infid: or if it's just a few files, just copy them into their shared folder, once you mount it [06:30] how do i tell seahorse a key belongs to me if i import it from a file [06:30] Krishnandu, and that is the way. see the bot link [06:30] hmhmmhmh [06:30] Is there some way to force the grub menu to show up and wait for input from the user on boot? [06:31] Jordan_U, funny thing I'm not =) I read the problem with macs, but my pc is a pentium-D [06:31] bazhang, ya ok :) [06:31] rilliam: 'c' [06:31] what am I doing wrong? [06:31] shutyaev: EFI? [06:31] how do i tell seahorse a key belongs to me if i import it from a file [06:31] shutyaev: 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 installer [06:31] kcj: ok thanks [06:31] how do i tell seahorse a key belongs to me if i import it from a file [06:31] uh as for grub2 there is #grub but for what its worth I agree grub 2 is much more complicated than grub 1 [06:31] Samus_Aran: No luck. [06:32] rilliam, edit grub.conf and increase timeout, though it's bydefault set to 10 [06:32] Hello everyone, i tried to update my system but i get this message- W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 28A8205077558DD0 [06:32] rilliam: if it's GRUB v1, then edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and make sure you have a line like this: timeout 30 [06:32] Anyone knows what that means? [06:32] rilliam: that will wait 30 seconds on the menu, before loading the default [06:32] I am running 10.10 [06:32] I think my problem with wubi is somehow grub related [06:32] Jordan_U, well I'm not exactly sure... if I understood correctly then EFI is a BIOS alternative. and then it seems i have no EFI 'cause I have a bios. correct me if I'm wrong [06:32] james_, intrepid is no longer supported [06:32] rilliam: Yes, change GRUB_TIMEOUT in /etc/default/grub then "sudo update-grub". [06:32] hey, does anyone know how to forcibly free a port? [06:33] how do i tell seahorse a key belongs to me if i import it from a file [06:33] has anyone installed 10.10 under VMWare (OSX host)? I can't get it to install [06:33] ok, thanks how do i fix that error? [06:33] Samus_Aran: At least it looked nice when I was installing ubuntu. :) [06:33] vvcephei, what do you mean forcibly free a port? [06:33] james_, upgrade to a supported version [06:33] james_: manually install the key, or else tell it to ignore the error [06:33] !gpgerr > james_ [06:33] james_, please see my private message [06:33] !upgrade | james_ [06:33] james_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [06:34] ekkis, interesting whats the problem? [06:34] Can i upgrade to the new release to fix the problem? [06:34] Samus_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 installation [06:34] how do i mount an iso? [06:34] Jordan_U: what should i change grub_timeout to? its set at 10 now [06:34] james_, fix first then upgrade [06:34] elias_: "loop back" mode [06:34] kcj: 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] ForgeAus: hmm... it won't even boot up [06:34] ForgeAus: let me try to do the install again and I'll tell you exactly what [06:34] elias_: I think File Roller will open ISO files, do you really need to mount it? [06:34] lucent, loop back? [06:34] bazhang- how do i fix it? [06:35] lucent, its a movie i downloaded [06:35] !gpgerr | james_ [06:35] james_: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories?

I'm lagged :( [06:35] Samus_Aran: Yeah. I really like the one that's supposed to show up in my tray. [06:35] elias_: though, if not, then I thought mplayer or VLC would play ISO containers [06:35] ForgeAus: 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" [06:36] well, when i open the folder, it has alot of files [06:36] kcj: 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-alsamixer [06:36] is there a way to make ubuntu one work with ubuntu server without the GUI? [06:36] rilliam: Sorry, I meant GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT. [06:36] kcj: I don't really use Gnome at all, so I have limited tech support ability with it. :) [06:36] to synchronize my files [06:36] so after updaing the repository java should install? [06:36] elias_: 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] lucent, its a torrent [06:36] ForgeAus: it's BusyBox... it cannot mount /dev/loop0 [06:36] Samus_Aran: Ah. What do you use? [06:36] vvcephei, uh sorry not my forte... but a port is not an address, if address is referring to IP... [06:37] lucent, kk my bad === Guest61209 is now known as sd32 [06:37] ekkis you used wubi? [06:37] how do I find where python2.6 is installed in ubuntu [06:37] I'm back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [06:37] !piracy > elias_ [06:37] elias_, please see my private message [06:37] shades: update the package lists: sudo apt-get update ... then try installing the package, e.g.: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [06:37] hello~~~? Krishnandu, are you there??????????? [06:37] Jordan_U: ok thanks [06:37] ForgeAus: right, in this case the error message is poorly phrased ;) thanks anyway. [06:37] blahsphemer: 'which python2.6' ? [06:37] ForgeAus: never heard of it [06:37] shades: 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] rilliam: You're welcome. [06:37] Samus_Aran: installing sun-java6-jre doesn't seem to do it [06:37] !grub2 | rilliam [06:37] rilliam: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [06:37] blaatmeister: "which python" [06:38] shades: doesn't seem to do... what? [06:38] ekkis, uh I'm not sure why its using a loop device...l [06:38] Krishnandu, now I can boot from PC ALONE!!! Great!! BUT!!! didn't show any MENU, help!!! [06:38] weird [06:38] ok,thanks i will try to fix the problem by removing the custom repository [06:38] it's NOW showing up [06:38] ubuntu91human: please use only one exclamation point or question mark. using more is like screaming at people, it is considered as rude. [06:38] lucent, as in , I am trying to find out where the python folder exists [06:38] its lib folder and all that [06:38] Samus_Aran, sorry [06:38] blahsphemer: probably in /usr/lib/python2.6 or something [06:38] ekkis, 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] ForgeAus: 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 with [06:39] kcj: I've been using ICEWM for around 8 or 9 years [06:39] got it, you're right [06:39] thanks [06:39] now I can boot from PC alone without any problem, but I lost windows menu [06:39] ekkis, sure, what point does that happen, where in the process does the error happen? directly after you insert the virtual CD? [06:39] kcj: 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] waves [06:39] ForgeAus: 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 try [06:39] Samus_Aran: I've only been using linux for about 2 years. :) [06:40] ekkis it might be as simple as setting VMware to use the physical CD instead of a virtual one? [06:40] I did this sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda [06:40] ekkis: That is not the problem. [06:40] ForgeAus: yes, as soon as it starts to boot it just crashes [06:40] (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] its my 2nd week of unix.. and i feel like ' i have the power' lol [06:40] and my ubuntu 10.04 is back!! but I can not see any menu during booting [06:40] ForgeAus: I don't have a physical CD but I can have Toast manufacture one for me [06:40] ekkis, not if ou have the ISO you can burn it, thats easy enough todo, worst case is that you waste a physical disk [06:40] Jordan_U: so what is? [06:41] ekkis, yes toast is one way [06:41] ubuntu91human: I think you mounted the wrong partition. [06:41] ForgeAus: yeah, I'll try mounting it as a CD first, if not, I'll burn [06:41] not sure if disk utility would do that too [06:41] I don't think so [06:41] ekkis: Just knowing what the problem isn't unfortunatly doesn't always mean I know what it is :( [06:41] ekkis, uh more likely to be a DVD, that was my error calling it a CD [06:41] how to detect my Jordan_U? but I am sure I unplug my USB-pen [06:42] it's probably a DVD. same difference [06:42] is 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/click [06:42] well, my windows is on partition 1, Ubuntu 10.04 is on partition 2 [06:42] ubuntu91human: Is there a /media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444/etc/fstab ? [06:42] Jordan_U : My windows is on partition 1, Ubuntu 10.04 is on partition 2 [06:42] Is there an easy way to go from Ubuntu 10.04 to Netbook Remix 10.10 without starting over and losing all of my data? [06:43] kcj: try running the command "gnome-volume-control-applet" from a terminal [06:43] kcj: see if that makes it reappear [06:43] Jordan_U of course not exist, It was /media/991c14c5-9210-4f11-9916-695a22255647 [06:43] <_jesse_> hi all, I'm having an issue with xrandr: http://pastebin.com/TuCjbR7R [06:43] ubuntu91human: I copied that path from your comment :) [06:43] I was just copy and past for quicker chat [06:44] _jesse_: wow, that's ... "special" [06:44] fr0stbyte: have you tried docky? [06:44] <_jesse_> you're telling me ;) [06:44] ubuntu91human: What is the exact command you ran to install grub? [06:44] ForgeAus: 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 file [06:44] question: 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] so I'm screwed [06:44] dirkle: yes, how about starting the update manager from the system menu, then there should be an option to upgrade to 10.10 [06:44] Jordan_U /media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 is the example on Ubuntu forum [06:44] Samus_Aran: Kind of. [06:44] eraggo: not yet [06:45] _jesse_: try: xrandr --screen LVDS1 -s 0 [06:45] wish they would just make a normal dock thats fast without the stupid animations [06:45] _jesse_: try specifying the output, i.e. xrandr --output LVDS -s 0 [06:45] _jesse_: it seems to be defaulting to the offline screen [06:45] <_jesse_> aaah interesting [06:45] i use a dock for the functionality, not the looks [06:45] <_jesse_> lucent Samus_Aran: will try that, thanks [06:45] Does 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] icedtea: 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] Samus_Aran: Can you answer my most recent question? [06:45] the exact command I did was ---> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/991c14c5-9210-4f11-9916-6a5a22255647 /dev/sda [06:46] _jesse_: I seem to have got the option wrong, I think --output is correct, not --screen [06:46] Lxndr: can you post your question 3 more times, in a row, so I can read them instead of the other people posting in the channel? [06:46] so I can boot my PC(Ubuntu 10.04) without pen-driver! [06:46] ubuntu91human: Does /media/991c14c5-9210-4f11-9916-6a5a22255647/etc/fstab exist? [06:46] also, sarcasm. [06:46] Lxndr: grub-install [06:46] so I can boot my PC(Ubuntu 10.04) without pen-driver! BUT I lost booting MENU, I cannot see any MENU and 10 seconds countdown. [06:47] I need to go get work done. goodnight all, and good luck. :) [06:47] dirkle: oh I see. sorry. You want to go to the netbook edition. I don't know how you would go about that [06:47] Jordan_U, how to check if it is exist or not? [06:47] Lxndr: Ignore Samus_Aran's comment. [06:47] please tell me how [06:47] show me how [06:47] ubuntu91human: "ls /media/991c14c5-9210-4f11-9916-6a5a22255647/etc/fstab" [06:47] okay, wait [06:48] icedtea: thanks anyways [06:48] Lxndr: uninstall the newest kernel, in synaptic search for linux-image [06:48] dirkle: np [06:48] lsr: hei, could it be because I downloaded a "live" image? [06:48] is there some other image I should have downloaded? [06:48] No such file or directory [06:49] ubuntu91human: Then you used the wrong path for your --root-directory option. [06:49] Jordan_U? [06:49] Help me please, Jordan_U [06:50] Jordan_U: Ignored! should I follow bastidrazor's directive? [06:50] <_jesse_> lucent: hmm well it still won't let me select a specific size; --auto worked, but didn't give me the resolution I was looking for [06:50] <_jesse_> doesn't output an error message though [06:50] <_jesse_> just doesn't do anythgin [06:51] Lxndr: 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] Lxndr: Yes, though in the long term you should figure out why the newest kernel isn't working. === zz_rubydiamond is now known as rubydiamond [06:51] /dev/sda1 nefs /media/windows [06:51] /dev/sda2 ext4 / [06:51] is there an easy way to syncrhonize files on ubuntu server to online storage like dropbox (dropbox doesnt work with ubuntu server only with GUI) [06:51] /dev/sda3 linux-swap [06:51] ForgeAus: 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 file [06:52] /dev/sda4 extended --> /dev/sda5 fat32 [06:52] What do i do now? Jordan? [06:53] bastidrazor, Jordan_U: I'm rebooting. Hopefully, you guys are right. Back soon, wish me luck. [06:53] I need to reboot agian, wait please [06:53] ekkis thats odd I havn't come across that issue before [06:53] ubuntu91human: First, what problem are you currently having with grub? [06:53] eraggo, hmm docky requires effects or 'composition manager' as well, but its cooler, i like it more than cairo.. simple and effective. thanks [06:53] ekkis ounted inside vmware or outside of it? [06:54] ekkis the ISO could be faulty? [06:54] ForgeAus: well... VMWare apparently doesn't know how to deal with a CD drive... it's happy with a .iso though [06:54] fr0stbyte: np [06:54] ForgeAus: it's possible. I'll look up a CRC on it [06:54] instea of mounting the iso... start vmware and refer to the iso as a file for the DVD drive [06:54] gnome shell built from source is slow, unlike the one from the repo. is anyone else experiencing this? [06:54] any idea why? [06:54] (a virtual DVD) [06:55] thats how I mostly do it [06:55] can some one tell me the name of ubuntu one channel ?

[06:56] Jordan_U, now I can boot from PC without pendriver, but I cannot see any MENU during booting, so I can not choose whether to boot windows or ubnutu [06:56] shades: you need to be on 10.10 to get 3.2.10 [06:56] ubuntu91human_: Then you don't need to, and shouldn't, do anything with grub-install. Just boot Ubuntu and run "sudo update-grub". [06:56] hi can any body tell me what IS IRC [06:56] Ramji, you are on it now [06:56] #ubuntu [06:57] IRC=Internet Relay Chat [06:57] Jordan_U, wait please [06:57] Ramji-> look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat [06:57] Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub [06:57] Searching for default file ... found: /boot/grub/default [06:57] Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:57] Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ...

[07:00] shades: well, actually, I'm on ubuntu 10.10 and 3.2.8 is available, but at the virtualbox website you need 10.10 for 3.2.10 [07:00] can I speak now? [07:00] Hi my friends...

[07:02] ehsan: There is none by default. Recent versions of Xorg don't need one, so distros don't ship one.

[07:04] ekkis: ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso [07:04] Flannel: that is not listed [07:04] I don't know, Jordan_U, I did what you told me, booted form 10.04 LIVE CD [07:04] LKKLÖLKLKHJKJOJPOÖHJKYKJKLHKJKYKLKLKJLGKGJLGKJJLKJKGHFDHGJGJHJJGLJKFJHJHLKGHLKGKLHJKHJIOUKGKFJGLJGFJFLJLJGLGJFGGJFJJHJHKJHJHGJHJHJJGDJGDGDXFG [07:04] ekkis: where?

[07:04] ekkis: Apparently that mirror is silly. Grab it here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ [07:05] is there anyhing kinda like personal database system i can tag comments files? [07:05] ekkis: Actually, the DVD mirrors don't necessarily have CD images. That might be why. [07:05] I don't know, Jordan_U, I did what you told me, booted form 10.04 LIVE CD and sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/991c14c5-9210-4f11-9916-6a5a22255647 /dev/sda [07:05] Flannel: oh... ok. I downloaded the image from the button on the main page [07:06] it's an iso... but trying to install it on VMWare fails [07:06] ubuntu91human_: You're currently booted into your Ubuntu install rather than the liveCD? [07:06] so..... I am going to reboot, see if the MENU appears? ok? [07:06] ekkis: No worries. You can grab that image from that mirror though, if you can't find it elsewhere. [07:06] ubuntu91human_: No. [07:06] no? [07:06] Flannel: it complians about not being able to mount /dev/loop0 [07:06] I am currently booted into my Ubuntu installed yes [07:06] Flannel: I want to install the desktop, not a server and that seemed like the right thing [07:06] not from LIVE CD, but without menu [07:06] ubuntu91human_: Run "sudo apt-get install grub-pc" [07:07] I've been meaning to try out Ubuntu for years (I live in Fedora) but I can't even install it! [07:07] Jordan_U, can I reboot first? to see if anything change? [07:07] ekkis: why not? whats wrong? [07:07] Jordan_U, can I reboot first? to see if anything change? well? [07:08] Jordan_U, can I reboot first? to see if anything change? well? is it all right? === r is now known as godzirra [07:08] ekkis: the alternate CD can do either. But I'm not sure what the VMware error would be [07:08] ubuntu91human_: Please be patient. [07:08] Jordan_U, can I reboot first? to see if anything change? well? is it all right? BEFORE "sudo... grub-pc"? [07:08] btw i solved my problem with the black screen / weird display at startup by moving /home//.gconf/apps/panel somewhere else, basically had to redo my panel cuz something screwed it up [07:08] r: I'm trying to do the install under a VM in OSX... but as soon as the process starts, it dies [07:08] jeepers too much caffeine for someone [07:08] ubuntu91human_: If you repeat that question again I will stop supporting you. [07:09] the VMWare error happens right away. it complains of being unable to mount /dev/loop0 [07:09] ubuntu91human_: Yes, if you want to reboot first you can. [07:09] Jordan_U, chill up [07:09] I just would like to know your "update grub" effect. === godzirra is now known as oh_no_godzirra [07:09] I am courious, [07:09] I am not a pro, ok? [07:10] brb Jordan_U [07:11] hey, i've just installed ubuntu and youtube is running slow...is there anything i can do to speed it up (it runs flawlessly in windows) [07:11] I'd just install ati graphic card drivers for linux [07:11] fglrx [07:12] ehsan: was that directed at me? [07:12] when i right click a file, go to permissions, click 'make executable' it auto-unchecks it when i click it.. wtf lol. same with group permissions [07:12] but when I run ati catalyst control center I receive the following error: There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following. [07:12] No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly.

[07:13] allan8904, go to your administration section, go to drivers, and install hardware drivers? [07:14] fr0stbyte: it says no proprietory drivers are used on this system [07:15] Jordan_U, back! before your "updat grub", I just found that I can click "ESC" to into a MENU, but still, no Windows XP, thus, I still cannot boot my Windows XP [07:15] There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following.No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly.Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig. === SKAN is now known as Stillmeister [07:16] Jordan_U, back! before your "updat grub", I just found that I can click "ESC" to into a MENU, but still, no Windows XP, thus, I still cannot boot my Windows XP, would you help me out of this? find my Windows XP back? because I have a software need to work in Windows XP everyday. [07:16] ubuntu91human: Run "sudo apt-get install grub-pc" [07:16] so, maybe I should try your "sudo apt-get install brub-pc"? [07:17] ok! I'm going to [07:17] allan8904, odd. i always have to install ati or nvidia prop drivers, then it speeds up video of course. === Stillmeister is now known as SKAN [07:17] fr0stbyte: i have an intel graphics card, does tha make a difference? === vincent is now known as vincent_ardern [07:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/515472/ [07:18] Please check it out Jordan_U http://paste.ubuntu.com/515472/ [07:18] anything worng? Jordan? [07:19] ubuntu91human: You misspelled "grub-pc" [07:19] I don't have a remote desktop preferences pane within Unity [07:19] ok, try again now... [07:20] allan8904, hm if its integrated intel then ya i guess it would run slow.. if u dont have a problem on windows then it might be flash. grab the new flash player 10 beta perhaps, its suppose to solve non-windows speed issues [07:20] or try html5 like someone said, ff4, or chrome (svn?) [07:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/515473/ [07:21] Jordan_U ---> here http://paste.ubuntu.com/515473/ [07:21] Y or n? [07:21] ubuntu91human: Yes, continue. [07:21] Y I suppose [07:21] fr0stbyte: yeah it runs fine in windows, i'll grab the flash 10 beta, the reason i wont go for the html 5 fix, is that other sites that contain flash content (like bigpond) still wont work [07:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/515474/ [07:23] Jordan_U --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/515474/ [07:24] Looks like ............... success? [07:24] ubuntu91human: Yes, that looks good. [07:24] What do I do next? Jordan? [07:24] ubuntu91human: Try rebooting. [07:24] Got it! [07:24] BE RIGHT BACK! [07:25] I hope it works [07:26] i really really hope it works too [07:27] Does anyone know if D-Link DWA-160 Wireless N USB will work under ubuntu 10.04? or 10.10? [07:28] so whats better, gnome do with docky theme or docky on its own? docky seems to have less features of course, but some which dont seem unnecessary, really nice [07:29] Hey all. Would someone be able to tell me how to change the highlighting color of things in-the-console/on-the-command-line?

[07:32] Great!!! [07:32] /part/part [07:32] Is it possible to set up webgui for transmission-daemon on ubuntu? [07:32] Is there anybody to help me? [07:32] *(transmission-daemon is a bittorrent client) [07:33] Jordan_U, what did I do wrong? when you first saw my "sudo grup-install --root-directory=/media/............. /dev/sda"? [07:33] so the command I first use is NOT necessary, is it? [07:34] so if next time I encounter the same problem, all I need is the 2 commands you told me right? [07:34] Anyone know how to turn off the 'shut off monitor option'? [07:35] Hello [07:36] hello [07:36] Jordan_U, so, it was "sudo update-grub" + "sudo apt-get install grub-pc" = solve all similar booting problems? [07:36] ubuntu91human_: You had an odd situation that I doubt you have again. [07:36] I must write these two down on my notebook [07:37] have again? what do you mean? in the future? [07:37] Jordan_U - Do you perhaps remember advising me to use testdisk to fix a bad aprtition table? [07:37] ubuntu91human_: Yes, I doubt that you will have the same problem in the future. [07:37] trj021782: Yes. [07:37] Jordan_U, why? how? [07:38] is compiz still good for ubuntu? [07:38] Jordan, but I just reboot, everything is OK. [07:38] ubuntu91human_, Did it got fixed..?? [07:38] what's the best way to get the latest nvidia drivers in ubuntu 10.10? [07:38] Krishnandu, YES, Mr. Jordan_U helped me out of this, thanks to him. [07:38] ubuntu91human_, Okies :) Enjoy :) [07:39] Krishnandu, but I don't understand, how did it happen? [07:39] Jordan_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 use [07:39] Should I keep away from ubuntu 10.10? [07:40] nvm appears compiz is used by default now [07:40] ubuntu91human - 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 it [07:41] trj021782: 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] trj021782, thanks for your advice [07:42] advise [07:42] Jordan_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 OS [07:42] hey 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 installed [07:42] Jordan_U, can I have your email address so If I have further questions? [07:42] i have apache problem which channel i should ask? [07:42] i need some help [07:43] metzyn - what help do you need? [07:43] i just installed ubuntu netbook edition yet i don't know how to enable the unity interface [07:43] ubuntuCEO i believe there is a #apache channel [07:43] trj021782: 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] ludd1te: #httpd actually. [07:43] Jordan, Krishnandu : Next time I want to install Ubuntu10.10 into my USB-Pendriver, I will trun off my HDD from BIOS first, so this will NEVER happen again, am I correct???? [07:43] hi everyone,how can I run swi-prolog ? does it have GUI ? [07:44] ubuntu91human_, better disconnect them... [07:44] ubuntu91human_: No. [07:44] Jordan_U, you mean "NOT correct"? [07:44] anyway i cant post anything in apache? [07:44] ubuntu91human_: Press the "advanced" button on the installer to change where it will install grub to. [07:44] KB1JWQ ah - my bad - you are spot on - thanks fort the correction ;-) [07:44] how come i cant display jpg file in my apache server, how to solve it? [07:44] Jordan_U, He's not even getting that button according to him [07:45] metzyn : http://www.gnulinux.in/article/information-and-installation-unity-lightweight-netbook-interface-ubuntu-netbook-edition-une [07:45] ubuntu91human_: Yes, I mean that disabling the drive in the BIOS won't prevent an OS from writing to it. [07:45] Jordan_U, but I am sure I will turn off my HDD, for security, just in case, right? [07:45] Jordan_U........ ahmmm......... then, what do I do? [07:45] "Turn off my hard drive in BIOS for security?" [07:46] ubuntu91human_, Nothing, just press the advanced button...and select where to install GRUB2 [07:46] so the booting stuff won't mess up with my internal HDD again, am I correct? [07:46] i am checking out that link right now [07:47] Krishnandu, Jordan_U : I did NOT see any "advanced button" during the 10.10 installation of my USB-pen [07:47] hello guys! i need to know witch OS? ubuntu or windows 7 should i install first on to my laptop, just wanna know witch one should be better to install on my laptop!- because i use windows for gaming, and i use ubuntu 10.10 for lots of other things that i do, [07:47] Krishnandu, Jordan_U : I did NOT see any "advanced button", I was trying to install 10.10 from LIVE CD, why is LIVE CD change my internal HDD for? [07:47] zulfi, better install Win 7 first to avoid problems later [07:48] Hi :) I've running Ubuntu on VirtualBox and some of the VMs keep hanging ... now while this could be related to VB, I would like to investigate what the last things the OS saw before it hung. For example, if a kernel panic occurred due to memory issues etc. I'm trying to review /var/log but can't find anything that sticks out... any recommendations? [07:48] yeah! [07:48] ubuntu91human_, Are you sure...?? In that case better disconnect your HDD [07:48] shai__: Take a look at dmesg as well. [07:48] ubuntu91human_: I guess they removed that option, which is rather unfortunate. [07:48] KB1JWQ: Is there no way to have kernel panics reported? [07:49] 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] any one else agree with Krishnandu just wanna know if not then yeah ill install windows for sure beucase that right ill avoid problems later [07:49] ubuntu91human_: Ubuntu 10.10 should be smart enough not to install to your internal drive, but as far as I can tell there is no way to confirm that before installing. === zipp01 is now known as zipp0 [07:49] shai__, i'd look at virtualbox logs before going very deep into ubuntu logs since there's not as much to look for [07:49] how do I install the drivers for my ATI Radeon® Xpress 1100? [07:50] shai__: man core might be useful at some point. [07:50] is there a ubuntu install dvd instead of the cd, which is more comprehensive ? [07:50] ok never mind then thank you! for your help : ) [07:50] zipp0: Windows will stomp grub, so install it first. :-) [07:50] Krishnandu, Jordan_U : but I am 100% sure you have options before install Ubuntu 10.04 [07:50] VectorX: Yes [07:50] can i get a link [07:50] Krishnandu, Jordan_U : that's why I say ' [07:50] ubuntu91human_, well...if you are not sure then better disconnect your HDD before installing... [07:50] Krishnandu, Jordan_U : that's why I say 10.04 is better 10.10 [07:51] Krishnandu, Jordan_U : that's why I say 10.04 is better than 10.10 [07:51] Does anyone know if D-Link DWA-160 Wireless N USB will work under ubuntu 10.04? or 10.10? [07:51] anyone know how to install ATI Drivers in 10.10? [07:51] Jordan_U : I though you have tried 10.10 already? [07:51] ubuntu91human_: Yes. [07:52] RudyValencia can i get a link [07:52] und3rgr0undz3r0, See in System > Advanced/Preferences > Hardware Drivers [07:52] Jordan_U : Did you really see the "advance button" for choosing where to install GRUB to? [07:52] Krishnandu: it doesnt show up there! [07:52] sure, just a sec [07:52] 10.10 or 10.04? [07:52] in 10.04, it has sda or sdb or sdc etc. [07:53] ubuntu91human_: No. I was wrong about it existing in 10.10, and I already stated as much earlier. [07:53] or sd0, sd1, sd2, something like that [07:53] VectorX: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#dvd [07:53] Krishnandu: I'm also using KDE, but in Gnome it didnt show up eithere [07:54] RudyValencia ok so from that descriptin its basically pointless getting it right [07:54] no [07:54] if its just langs [07:54] Jordan_U, so that is an bug in 10.10 right? NO option to choose where to install GRUB to [07:54] you *can* get it [07:54] Jordan_U, so that is a bug in 10.10 right? NO option to choose where to install GRUB to. Am I correct? [07:54] und3rgr0undz3r0, In that case download from ATI's site... [07:54] well, I don't know [07:54] Krishnandu: they have linux drivers? [07:54] * RudyValencia out [07:55] und3rgr0undz3r0, they should have....check it... [07:55] ubuntu91human_: Yes.

[08:07] yes [08:07] it's called mount [08:07] Slipknot6669: Mount the .iso as a loopback device, you're done. :-) [08:07] -o loop [08:08] i have an odd issue where when after use the media keys on my keyboard, my mouse wont click on things anymore [08:08] Ok === al__ is now known as alinz1 [08:09] Wow Linux is awesome!! Wish Id have gotten stated with this earlier. So long Window for good!! [08:10] Ok what about an encoding program such as Handbrake? [08:10] Slipknot6669: Handbrake works under Linux. === alinz1 is now known as al_nz1 [08:10] !handbrake [08:10] handbrake is a an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. - http://handbrake.fr [08:11] Sweet didnt find it in the software center. Ill check their website. [08:12] how d [08:12] Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded. [08:12] The X11 driver is missing. Check your build! [08:12] i get that error, how do i install the x11 driver? [08:13] one thing i don't understand: when we update packages (especially in a graphical desktop environment), how does linux keep running programs from being affected by the updating process? [08:13] yaoziyuan: not everytime... [08:13] "Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded. The X11 driver is missing. Check your build!" I get this when using wine. is there any way to install the X11 drivers? [08:14] hello all [08:14] in windows, when a binary is running, it usually can't be deleted/updated [08:14] yaoziyuan: that's because in linux, files are not accessed using their name but inode [08:15] ashiswin: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-381183.html ? [08:15] yaoziyuan: that's why if you are playing an mp3 and while it's playing if you move or rename it... still media players plays it w/o interruption [08:15] Can I use a windows driver to activate my gfx card? [08:16] lol [08:16] greenmang0: because when i move/rename it, the original copy is preserved somewhere else? [08:16] hi. is there a way to find games/apps for lubuntu like u can on ubuntu? like that thing where it shows u list of apps/games,description,rating,little picture....can't seem to find that in lubuntu [08:16] JoeMaverickSett, there is no solution there [08:16] Rhythmbox isn't minimizing in the notification area correctly. It's showing up as a black line in between dropbox and xchat. Here's an img: http://imagebin.org/119004 (I'm running 10.10) Any suggestions? [08:16] greenmang0: like copy-on-delete? [08:16] Hi all. Anybody have any experience with UEC? Is this the right place to ask questions about it? [08:16] ashiswin: oh, sorry my bad. will look for more info. :/ [08:16] its k :D [08:16] Does anyone know of a graphical frontend for Testdisk? [08:17] ...what? [08:17] hblount: I'm not sure what analog Lubuntu would have. Have you tried asking in #lubuntu? [08:17] yaoziyuan: no... the file is accessed using inode number.. when you move/rename file... either it's location or name changes but not the inode number [08:17] yaoziyuan: try ls -id /tmp [08:17] trj021782: If you're using testdisk you shouldn't need a GUI. If you do, you should probably request help from someone. :-) [08:17] Handbrake 0.9.4 is no longer available due to compatibility issues with the newer version of gnome. [08:17] :( [08:17] greenmang0 its 8177 [08:17] whats that? [08:17] can only get nightly builds [08:17] Flannel: yeah...ppl there are more hardcore linux, tellin me to use terminal and stuff. im linux noob....want gui :( [08:17] greenmang0: i somewhat got what you mean. an inode seems to be an identifier that guarantees a process continuous access of a file [08:18] greenmang0: once a process "opens" a file, it gets an inode copy of the file [08:18] ashiswin: you got the error from wine, am i right? [08:18] yaoziyuan: yeah... read "man ls" and check what does option "-i" stand for [08:18] yes JoeMaverickSett [08:18] hi [08:18] I've a problem [08:19] marcel: Life's tough all over. :-) What's the issue? [08:19] hblount-Yeah I thought the same thing, but the terminal really isnt that bad. Ive been using Linux for a total of about 48 hours and Im loving it. [08:19] greenmang0: what if i delete it? [08:19] i've installed ubuntu 10.10 (64bit) [08:19] on my laptop [08:19] !ask | marcel [08:19] marcel: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:19] can ssh be used as VPN when the client is MS Windows? [08:19] KBLJWQ - although I appreciate your input I want a frontend because testdisk is not giving me the attributes of of the two boot sector records it found so i do not know which one to use, this is importnat because this drive has been partitioned on the fly so I NEED to restore the proper boot record [08:19] my laptop has the nvidia graphic: geforce 310m [08:20] ashiswin: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-245356.html [08:20] trj021782: I do understand that, but how would a GUI fix this situation? [08:20] trj021782: Back up both, try one. If it fails, try the other. [08:20] I have no picture on my screen, but when I put another screen on my vga plug [08:20] i get a picture [08:20] so what can I do [08:20] to get a picture on the laptop screen? [08:21] greenmang0: if a linux executable file is run, it generally no longer requires the file itself to remain intacted, right? [08:21] yaoziyuan: it still plays it [08:21] >.< thanks JoeMaverickSett, but the attatchment link doesnt work anymore [08:21] I have yet to find a backup option i tried to dump it but it gave me a hex string which I must admit meant nothing to me [08:21] ashiswin: yeah i saw that. have you looked at the bottom? === zz_slidinghorn is now known as slidinghorn [08:21] I mean to say it gave the hex string as a dump option [08:21] So the latest Empathy doesn't have Gnome's IRC server in it? What's up with that? I'm trying to figure out how to print this Gnumeric document -- it keeps coredumping -- but I can't get to the Gnome IRC server to ask in #gnumeric. [08:22] yaoziyuan: i just tried to play mp3 from one terminal using mplayer and deleted that mp3 from another terminal using "rm -rf" and mplayer is still playing that file [08:22] You'd think the Gnome IRC server would be in there since that's where you go for support for Empathy. :-P [08:22] can sb. help me? [08:22] yea juz did JoeMaverickSett, thanks so much :D gonna try that now [08:22] KBLJWQ - I was hoping that a frontend would make options I was unaware of accessible through a menu system [08:23] greenmang0: 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] trj021782: nah, man testdisk is the way to go to find out the options. [08:24] greenmang0: while how could a linux distro do a major distro upgrade without shutting down other apps/gnome/kde/x first? [08:24] is it possible to make dhclient or any other program ask for DHCP just to see what DHCP servers are on a LAN= [08:24] File attributes are stored in metadata, so it's possible that there actually aren't any from what it scrapes off the platter, trj021782 [08:24] ... that's because the Gimpnet choice is the one for Gnome. Of course. *throws hands up in frustration* [08:24] ashiswin: try to ask in #winehq also. :) [08:24] without assigning to NIC afterwards? [08:24] greenmang0: that mp3 still playing probably because of caching [08:24] Sorry to bother you. :-( [08:24] trj021782: Er, are metadata stored in inodes, rather. :-) [08:24] JoeMaverickSett, they told me to come here. And the tip didnt work >.< any other solutions? [08:24] hello === michiel_ is now known as Guest19277 [08:25] ashiswin: oh, i'm sorry.you could ask the question again and those that have encountered it might help you. [08:25] yaoziyuan: not possible [08:25] do u know how to hack [08:26] sure [08:26] KBLJWQ - I do not think i have made myself clear to you [08:26] "Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded. The X11 driver is missing. Check your build!" I get this when using wine. is there any way to install the X11 drivers? [08:26] looooool [08:26] how can linux update an app that is running? in windows, apps are generally required to shut down before being updated [08:26] how to point out what video driver I"m using..?? [08:26] yaoziyuan: it's right that while upgrading linux doesn't shutdown any apps and system remains usable... but i have experienced that the running apps behave abnormally [08:27] yaoziyuan: so you have to restart the apps... [08:27] yaoziyuan: so i guess the reason is same.... inode number is used for accessing files [08:27] found out JoeMavericSett [08:27] found out JoeMaverickSett* [08:27] and for all those who have the same problem [08:27] do this: sudo cp /usr/lib/wine/winex11.drv.so /usr/local/lib/wine/ [08:28] ashiswin: you might want to write that in the ubuntuforums. :) [08:28] oh well, i have an hour to wait until this last batch of hash checks is done so I shall see if I can be of assitance [08:28] sure :D [08:29] Does any one need any advice? I MAY be able to help [08:30] trj021782: yeah how do i turn off multi-threading support in the kernel? i kinda need my ubuntu to be more linear [08:30] is there a way to just change it to a monolithic kernel? [08:30] that would be greeeat [08:30] greenmang0: 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), or [08:30] what version of ubuntu? [08:30] lol [08:30] you understand what im asking right? [08:31] greenmang0: or always attend it (never leave the computer)? [08:31] yes, and I do not think it can be done but more so i was going to ask why you would want that [08:31] yaoziyuan: 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] I suppose a sufficintly old system might benefit from it but I doubt that eve [08:31] even* [08:31] yaoziyuan: i normally prefer CLI for upgrading [08:32] I suck at spelling today [08:32] and most days [08:32] greenmang0, you mean sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ? [08:32] ForgeAus: yeah ... but I use aptitude [08:32] replacing the ubuntu kernel with a monolithic kernel would make it something that isnt linux [08:33] so....yes i was trolling [08:33] I prefer an object oriented microkernel... but hey we can't always get what we wnat! [08:33] loool [08:33] sorry, sarcasm is sometimes hard to tell when I cannot hear tone of voice === reeniginEesreveR is now known as reenignEesreveR [08:33] indeed [08:34] you sounded not-confident with your usage of MAY so i decided to throw something obscure out there [08:34] besides linux IS the kernel, most distros are actually GNU-OS running on a Linux Kernel [08:34] wut [08:35] My lack of confidence is because I have only been using linux for a few years, so there is much i do not know yet [08:35] I've been using linux for half my life [08:35] and there is much I don't know [08:36] from fedora to debian to gentoo to slakware, thats right its mostly all GNU/OS, the OS itself is not Linux, the Kernel is, which means by means of inheritance Ubuntu is too!... [08:36] hello, i did something to disable ipv6 but now i dont remember what it was. I'd like to reverse it now because its causing problems with ssh. [08:36] as far a general knowledge and an understanding of hyperthreading, That I'm good with [08:36] pie_time: Check sys>prefs>networking?

[08:38] !ipv6 | pie_time This is the instructions on how to disable ipv6, that may give you a starter on how to re-enable it [08:38] pie_time This is the instructions on how to disable ipv6, that may give you a starter on how to re-enable it: For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [08:38] ForgeAus - indeed or in my case Xubuntu - the apparent bastard child of a mouse and a word [08:38] I'm not certain how or what of debian Ubuntu inherits exactly but it seems in terms of kernels and userlands, etc... it mostly is Canonical candy ontop of a strong debian-like system of GNU/OS on a Linux Kernel [08:38] rofl trj021782 ... even Xubuntu follows that rule, as well as the one you said :) [08:39] ForgeAus - I switched to X because I broke two Ubuntu installs and one YDL and everyone seems to say thatXubuntu runs better on the PS3 anyway [08:39] and it does, it IS snappier [08:40] basically ubuntu is a tuned up sid imo [08:40] ps3! kewl :) [08:40] personally I prefer Kubuntu [08:40] dunno how it stacks up for PS3 tho [08:40] yes well XFCE is liter, so thats why it is snappier [08:41] soreau, DJones that didnt fix it [08:41] idefixx, no id didnt [08:41] you'd probably find something like fluxbox would be even faster [08:41] pie_time: You didn't say what you tried to fix it.. [08:41] Kubuntu is supposed to be better that Ubuntu but most people were signing the praise of Xubunut so i figured I would try that first [08:41] soreau, i tried looking at the blacklist [08:41] its not blacklisted there [08:42] KDE sucks imo mmkay GNOME! [08:42] trj021782, in terms of performance I wouldn't expect to find an increase with kubuntu, but functionality/use of it, I believe does improve, however if your happy with Xubuntu I don't think I'm going to change your mind... [08:43] its like how OSS is -suppose- to be better than alsa? [08:43] I still think of XFCE as pretty much gnome-lite [08:43] pie_time: Do you see any output from 'lsmod|grep ip'? [08:43] You guys will like this - when i first installed Ubuntu I was doing all of my configuration and my friend started asking if i would be able to do any cool 3D gaming in linux [08:43] pie_time: what about /etc/modprobe.d/aliases? [08:43] fr0stbyte, I don't know sound systems enough to be able to comment on that one [08:43] I said no, it doesn't have access to the GPU [08:44] trj021782: Sounds like OT. Try #ubuntu-offtopic [08:44] okay. x still won't load with nvidia drivers, and I can't find a single actual error. [08:44] trj? ps3 without acess to GPU? sounds... neutered [08:44] ah, I see we have the topic police on staff today [08:44] sporkboy: How did you try installing the drivers? [08:45] greenmang0, nothing there either. soreau i did a grep for ipv6 and nothing came up [08:45] soreau, blame me.. I'm the one that went off topic [08:45] trj021782: You should always respect a channels topic regardless if there are police or not [08:45] ForgeAus - no access for linux but it is still a PS#, so that is where I will do my complex 3D gaming [08:45] however it was in response to on-topic stuff lol [08:45] I hate when people get all pissy for someone pointing out the fact that THEY aren't following the rules...........

[08:52] macharia9 - a missing/damaged boot sector would do it [08:53] machaira9: i guess the installer displays the option for that [08:53] greenmang0, the exim4 section of the link you gave me looks like what I did. What is the equivalent in Ubuntu? [08:53] ForgeAus - correct [08:53] trj021782, ouch! once again neutered :( [08:53] pie_time: /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/disable_ipv6 check this file [08:53] but my interface is not eth0 [08:54] sporkboy: your syslog says it loaded the nvidia module fine, so your drivers must be confused. Try using jockey-gtk to remove them and reinstall the packages [08:54] machaira9: or just go in the terminal use fdisk and to turn off bootable flag [08:54] ForgeAus - just until I get some components I ordered - then i am going to start looking into dumping the hypervisor and start sifting through it [08:54] pie_time: ok then do ls /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf [08:54] pie_time: you will find all the system interfaces listed there [08:55] pie_time: cd to the interface of your choice and to the changes in disable_ipv6 file [08:55] soreau, so... deactivate, purge, install, activate?

[09:07] trj021782, check if libdvdcss is included in the restricted extras, thats another thing I needed to add at one point.. [09:08] slidinghorn: how do I do that ?

Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab.

Is there a not so manual way? [10:48] histo, really? [10:48] Gryllida: the *-desktop packages are just metapackages [10:48] wisevoyager: I haven't heard of it atleast the netbook version runs gnome with unity [10:48] slidinghorn: not what i'm looking for [10:48] thanks histo for your adviced [10:48] Hey how can I determine that what graphics driver I'm using nv vesa or nvidia or noveau [10:48] wisevoyager: netbook edition is its own flavor -- like Kubuntu/Xubuntu [10:49] how the ubuntu-10.10?

[13:02] slidinghorn: I'm trying to compile the zabbix sources [13:03] tifflor: libcurl-dev [13:03] but the problem here is curl and I can't find the right package to install [13:03] oskar: I tried that but it doesn't install anything [13:03] tifflor: try libcurl4-openssl-dev or libcurl4-gnutls-dev [13:04] when log in there some environment to select. 1.LXDE 2.Recovery Console 3.Ubuntu Desktop Edition 4.Ubuntu Desktop Edition(Safe Mode) 4.Ubuntu Netbook Edition 5.Ubuntu Netbook Edition 2D.

[13:14] hey I was wondering if I could get someone running Ubuntu Netbook 10.10 to run something (non-malicious) for me. The command is "dpkg -S /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.ayatana.WindowMenu.Registrar" [13:14] !java [13:14] To 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. [13:15] you can run the above as non-root if you are paranoid [13:15] oskar- no other error, except a few undefined reference to gss_release_buffer [13:15] jayvee: What are you looking to see? [13:15] thanks action parsnip i'll go check the link [13:16] hi all :) [13:16] Pici: I'm trying to debug the unity global menu not working [13:16] ActionParsnip, is that even a bug? I would rather think of it as a problem one the human side if you know what I mean. [13:16] hi stuk_gen [13:16] jayvee: I don't have une, but apt-file doesn't know what package that comes from. [13:16] fewboo: could submit it as a suggestion on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com [13:16] how can i create a link and specific a basepath name? example, in windows i can create a link in desktop and specific the from, in ubuntu how can i specific this? [13:17] stuk_gen: you can right click the desktop to make a launcher for the item [13:17] stuk_gen: of you can use a symlink [13:18] tifflor: http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10527 ; maybe try also libgss-dev or libkrb5-dev? [13:18] where is the best converter? [13:19] cutiyar: it has yet to be, and never will be found [13:19] ActionParsnip: there is winff but could not do mp3 [13:19] !handbrake > cutiyar [13:19] cutiyar, please see my private message [13:19] cutiyar: what are you trying to convert and we can make suggestions. None are best [13:19] ActionParsnip: my problem is that, executable search a file in 'caller' subdirectory, if i lunch application it search file in folderofexacutable/image ... but if i create launcher and put on the desktop, it become folderoflanchuer/images and this is wrong! === Jay is now known as Guest1891 [13:20] cutiyar, you want to convert what? [13:20] stuk_gen: make a new launcher and point it at the file you want to execute [13:21] ActionParsnip, besides that when I was installing Ubuntu I check encrypt the home folder checkbox. It is not encrypted now even though I got some randomly generated password for it. [13:21] ActionParsnip: is what i've done, but no change! [13:21] stuk_gen: does the folder contain a binary executable? [13:21] stuk_gen: or a script? [13:21] ActionParnip: yes a executable [13:22] fewboo: i dont use encrypted nonsense, too much heartache [13:22] stuk_gen: you could try a simple symlink then, run: cd ~/Desktop [13:22] when i run .exe file it say is not excutable bit? [13:23] cutiyar: the exe will need to be marked as executable [13:23] ActionParsnip: i not understand what did you mean [13:23] what is OPENVPN ? Is it vpn client or server? [13:23] ActionParsnip, so you admit that it does not work?! [13:23] ActionParsnip: i did it from properties but it say it again [13:23] barberan: it is both [13:23] stuk_gen: a file is a file in Linux, if it's not marked as executble it won't be runnable [13:23] and if its on a cd... you cant just set iot executable.. so use the command line. :) wine /media/cdromdrivename/whatever.exe [13:24] stuk_gen: is the .exe on an NTFS partition? [13:24] Dr_Willis: great minds huh [13:24] oskar-: any idea what "undefined reference to "Err_error_string"" would reference to? [13:24] for .exe things - theres some odd security 'feature' where it wont launch it in wine. Unless its excutable. [13:24] that's the new error [13:24] ActionParnip: wait, i'm not the user that ask the .exe problem :) [13:24] You can proberly right click on it and tell it to load in wine also. [13:24] i discovered the wonders of warping my voice with sox, but how can i use the output of my voice in sox so people in a chat hear it instead of my regular voice?

[13:25] Dr_Willis: no builtin mic on my laptop [13:25] ActionParsnip, hi [13:25] ActionParnip: what do you try to explain me about symlink? [13:25] lazarus: hi [13:25] ViaNocturna85: but for a video chat program? or what exactly? [13:25] how it is possible to have load average higher than 1 when only 15% cpu is used ? [13:25] edagar: samba is set up as a service by default. so it does run as a daemon. why are you doing this by hand? [13:26] ActionParsnip: HOW TO mark it as excutable bit? [13:26] cutiyar: chmod u+x [13:26] edagar: unless theres some setting ive never noticed in the smb.conf file.

[13:28] ??? anybody, i just need the name of the vmlinuz file in an ubuntu machine please [13:29] hi, im behind a firewall [13:29] ActionParsnip: my problem is if i create a lancher of a link of a executable, i want to specific the from path...how can i do this? [13:29] ViaNocturna85: Not sure how do route it otherwize. [13:29] cutiyar: if the file is on a CDROM or an NTFS partition, this won't be possible. If you say its on an NTFS / CDROM storage then youcan run it with: wine /path/to/file.exe and it will run, in the command, 'wine' is the executable and using file.exe as an input [13:29] how do i get update working? [13:29] stuk_gen: just specify it, browse to the file [13:29] atm it finds the updates but it cant install them [13:29] Dr_Willis: Thank you anyway [13:29] Hello. I can't get a connection to the Internet with my Ubuntu machine. It attempts to connect and fails, but it works normally on Windows. Its a wired connection. It has worked before. [13:29] tifflor: libcurl4-gnutls-dev and libcurl4-openssl-dev should collide with each other, so that i presume, you have only one of both installed. maybe the other one is the right one? [13:29] Laurenceb_: can you use: http://pastie.org to give the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade thanks [13:30] hmm do you know another edocument or something .. i don't remember but it's good? [13:30] feen: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? [13:30] feen: do you use a static IP or DHCP? [13:30] how to check my ubuntu version? [13:30] fazzil: lsb_release -a [13:30] uname -a :) [13:30] uhhh heya guys, i'm installing ubuntu x64 on vbox and its stuck saying "Ready when you are" i clicked "forward" but the rotating mouse symbol is just still rotating for the past half an hour [13:30] neriukas: thats kernel version, not ubuntu version ;) [13:31] ActionParnisp: not the from path of a linkedfile (this is called position of lancher), but the basepath where the exacutable use for their reference [13:31] synaptic >> linux image :D [13:31] ActionParsnip: type in terminal? [13:31] Robinux: did you MD5 test the ISO you are installing with? [13:31] fazzil: indeed [13:31] >> find it :) [13:31] javyee: my IP is not static, so I would say DHCP [13:31] Actionparsnip: its working [13:31] from the terminal [13:31] thanks [13:31] Laurenceb_: no, i want the output [13:31] not the update manager [13:31] just a sec [13:31] Laurenceb_: or is everything ok now? [13:32] feen: does 8.8.8.8 ping? [13:32] ActionParsnip: I could try, but I would have to unplug here to try there... Is there anything else I should do? [13:32] Actionparsnip: - 12mB of updates, fetching them atm [13:32] about 50% [13:32] feen: thats all we need, if it pings then your DNS sucks [13:32] feen: you mean it works if you plug it in somewhere, but not elsewhere? [13:32] Laurenceb_: cool, sounds like it should be fine [13:32] ActionParsnip: OK brb [13:32] but the Update manager couldnt connect to the server [13:32] hey my live installation in a pendrive is not booting up.. Is there a way that I can enter a recovery mode like we have when we install ubuntu in hard disk.?? [13:32] it only works from the terminal [13:33] javyee: I meant that, to ping 8.8.8.8, I have to disconnect this machine I am at right now. [13:33] hola, alguien en español [13:33] ActionParsnip: MD5 test? [13:33] simar: have you selected usb as the bootup device at the bios? [13:33] Robinux: tests the ISO is complete and consistant. I'm guessing you forgot [13:33] !md5 | Robinux [13:33] Robinux: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [13:34] Robinux: you have no way of knowing if the ISO is healthy as you have neglected to MD5 test [13:34] ViaNocturna85, ya .. the ubuntu boot and then the x fails to start [13:34] ViaNocturna85, so i think if i can enter recovery mode to do some tweaking.. [13:35] why i can access my ubuntu 10.10? [13:35] hi there [13:35] i've got a little problem [13:35] i just upgraded to 10.10 and now gnu-smalltalk is suddenly gone breaking stuff [13:36] ActionParsnip: thanks a dozen [13:36] trying to install it again I get an error like "missing package" [13:36] so after upgrading from ubuntu netbook 10.04 to 10.10, my global menu doesn't work. I'm really stumped as to why. [13:36] any ideas on how I can get gnu-smalltalk back? [13:36] I have indicator-appmenu installed [13:36] helllo [13:36] it's hot here [13:36] dragonlord: reinstall the app [13:36] v_v: have you looked? [13:36] * lazarus is loving 10.10 [13:36] ActionParsnip, I tried but it does not work as mentioned I get error message about gnu-smalltalk being "virtual" and not having packages or something like that [13:37] dragonlord: i'd investigate on http://package.ubuntu.com get it removed and then reinstall [13:38] ActionParsnip, 404 page does not exist === feen1 is now known as feen [13:38] Is there a known bug with 10.04.1 LTS with formatting external USB drives in ext3? I've got a Seagate Freeagent 250 GB drive and both gparted and mke2fs throw short read errors when formatting.... [13:38] actionparsnip, how do i find a "known good" xorg.conf [13:39] is there an ubuntu forum for mac hardware? [13:39] fsdjkl: you can make one in root recovery mode by running: Xorg --configure [13:39] ActionParsnip: Back. It does not ping. Tḧe error message is ''connect: Network unreachable'' [13:39] dragonlord: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gnu-smalltalk [13:39] balzac5000 why not go for ext4? [13:39] ActionParsnip, I do not have an idea, suggestion, bug... but a problem. The problem is that the functionality of the seashore program has been made void because of some ones apparent lack of interest to include also the python nautilus extension crypt-manager.py that allows you to encrypt a folder by right clicking on it. So stop misleading me on this subject. [13:39] ljsoftnet: Because I fear what I don't understand? [13:39] actionparsnip, i'm not sure what you mean, i've booted into the live cd to try and fix the installed version, do i type that on the terminal in the live cd [13:39] ActionParsnip, Ah, I guess I know what the problem is [13:40] ActionParsnip, package shows only i386 not amd64... somebody over at ubuntu slept? [13:40] feen: then you are not getting an IP address. Are the lights on the interface flashing ok? and showing link light on the router? [13:40] balzac5000 ext4 is the file system used by ubuntu 10.04 [13:40] dragonlord: good investigation. I guess youo'll have to wait while its made [13:40] balzac5000: have you tried ntfs, vfat or the like? in other words, are you sure the problem isn't with the disk? [13:40] ljsoftnet: by default, yes [13:40] ljsoftnet: Ah - I'm upgrading so this is new stuff [13:41] ljsoftnet: btrfs is available in maverick [13:41] ActionParsnip, possibility to tell them about the missing package? maybe they didn't notice it yet [13:41] ljsoftnet: I've run smartd on it and Seatools and received the all clear... [13:41] ActionParsnip: All lights are flashing. As I said, it is working flawlessly in Windows... [13:41] dragonlord: i'd ask in 3ubuntu-devs [13:41] ljsoftnet: And wouldn't you know it , the Ext4_Howto is down... [13:41] ActionParsnip, same IRC server? [13:41] dragondon, I think the same thing. I have an issue with the seashore program and it is apparent to me that some one at ubuntu slept [13:41] feen: ok then i'd websearch for your wired chip to find guides and/or bug reports [13:41] dragonlord: yes [13:42] how can I configure widfarm? [13:42] balzac5000 so your problem is solved? [13:42] how can I configure windfarm? [13:42] ActionParsnip, channel does not exist... :/ [13:42] ActionParsnip: But it has worked absolutely fine for months. Yesterday I was upgrading to 10.10 and this happened. [13:42] ljsoftnet: Well, this is a backup server and the only machine I have running 10.04, so if it goes it sounds like I won't be able to (easily) read the disk with other Ubuntu and Debian versions [13:43] !ubuntus|blue_anna [13:43] fewboo: wrong dragon* :) [13:43] dragonlord: /j #ubuntu-devel [13:43] ljsoftnet: I appreciate the response, by the way! [13:43] okay just for peoples' FYI — I fixed the global menu problem. 'appmenu-gtk' package wasn't installed for some reason. kinda weird that it is not a dependency of indicator-appmenu, and yet it breaks if it is not installed. [13:43] dragonlord, I think the same thing. I have an issue with the seashore program and it is apparent to me that some one at ubuntu slept [13:43] feen: yes, you now have a different kernel with different drivers [13:43] feen my previous upgrade experience, has not been a good one, i'd rather too choose a full clean install [13:43] feen: so you need to take some action [13:43] newer version of evince on ubuntu is messed up. anyone have this prob? [13:43] fewboo, ? [13:44] balzac5000 no problem [13:44] for god's sake, somebody do "ls -l /boot" and tell me the name of the file [13:44] ActionParsnip: No, sir. I couldnt complete the upgrade due to this problem... [13:44] meatbun: specific problems, please [13:44] meatbun: can you expand on "messed up" [13:44] ljsoftnet: Am I correct in thinking a boot from a 10.04 live CD would give me access to this drive? [13:44] andrewboktor: what file [13:44] feen: you may need to compile a driver,or download a package. you can even use ndiswrapper for it [13:44] Dragonlord I have an issue with the seashore program. We have seashore installed by default in ubuntu 10.10 but it is completely useless with out the python nautilus extension crypt-manager.py script that allows you to encrypt a folder by right clicking on it. Crypt-manager.py is now provided with crypt manager but crypt manager can not be installed via repos nor did I locate any download link for it any where on the net. [13:44] andrewboktor: I just scrolled up and can't find any of your posts [13:45] jayvee: i need the exact name of the latest vmlinuz file, coz a friend screwed up his grub and how we can't boot [13:45] balzac5000 the one your running this chat client? [13:45] fewboo: i believe gparted uses it if encryptfs is used [13:45] andrewboktor: vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic for me on 10.10 [13:45] when i go to evince, and select print, select single page, change to 200%. only part of that page is printed out. jayvee ActionParsnip [13:45] ljsoftnet: Eh? [13:45] ActionParsnip: How am I going to do that whithout a connection? [13:45] jayvee: do you know if there are any newer kernel versions? [13:45] andrewboktor: you can always find out the latest by looking at the dependencies of http://packages.ubuntu.com/linux-image-generic [13:45] ^ [13:45] fewboo, wrong dragon, i'm here about gnu-smalltalk :D (geez we are so many right now :P) [13:46] feen: usb storage / sd card [13:46] jayvee: ok, i also need the name for the initrd [13:46] feen: CD drive / floppy [13:46] i never had this prob, when i was using older version of ubuntu. but after upgrade to latest ubuntu, evince does not work propeerly [13:46] hi there i have troble with my wireless it stops randomly [13:46] andrewboktor: exact same, but substitute 'vmlinuz' for 'initrd.img' [13:46] balzac5000 im confused with your problem [13:46] jayvee: thx man, i will let u know if it works [13:46] andrewboktor: how does knowing the filename help you recover it? [13:46] dragondon, you said that you think some one slept at Ubuntu. I think the same...that is what I meant. === shariq is now known as Guest24395 [13:47] jayvee: he installed the wubi thing [13:47] dragonlord, you said that you think some one slept at Ubuntu. I think the same...that is what I meant. [13:47] fewboo, rofl... [13:47] and he updated today [13:47] for somereason, he lost his grub.cfg [13:47] as i said... too many dragons in here... hard to hit the right one :P [13:47] and how grub needs to read something [13:47] andrewboktor: why not just run update-grub? [13:47] dragondon, sorry typo [13:47] ljsoftnet: I'm concerned about formatting this USB drive, which will hold rsync backup sets, ext4 for fear that if I carry it to another backup server for a restore that it won't be able to read ext4. [13:47] jayvee: can you walk me through that process? [13:47] andrewboktor: boot to livecd, chroot to the installed OS and run: sudo update-grub [13:47] during my installation xorg.conf didn't get created, so my installation doesn't boot, anyone know where I can find / generate one to put in [13:47] andrewboktor: "update-grub' recreates grub.cfg [13:48] no walking through required ;) [13:48] fewboo: Heh, I haven't typed on this forum for a few months :) No biggie [13:48] no parameters needed [13:48] is mysql 5.1.51 in the repos, and if so how do install it, since 5.1.43 is the latest stable (which has an index bug) [13:48] ljsoftnet: BUT it appears Debian Lenny has that support, so I guess my problem IS solved. [13:48] Whenever I hibernate and then re-dock my laptop and resume, the nvidia settings cannot see the connected DFP monitor anymore - I have to restart gdm before it sees it again. Does anyone know of a way to "kick" the nvidia driver to see the connected external display again? [13:48] balzac5000 ok [13:48] ljsoftnet: (Caffeine cylinder is not emptied yet - sorry!) [13:49] ljsoftnet: So, yah - I'm squared away. Thanks again! [13:49] andrewboktor: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-broken-ubuntu-feisty-fawn.html [13:49] andrewboktor: it'll work in any release, the chroot method is te same [13:49] jayvee: yes it does but not always correctly in wubi's case [13:49] any other way to find what is missing? [13:50] * ForgeAus wonders if/when someone is going to make a rolling distro based on ubuntu! [13:50] andrewboktor: if wubi is used, you'll need to mount the windows partition writable first, then mount the wubi disk image [13:50] * ActionParsnip hates wubi [13:50] ForgeAus: well, there's always debian sid ;) [13:50] lol Jayvee :) [13:51] I have some problems to share my internet conection [13:51] ActionParsnip, I can mount them but I still cant get my grub entry right [13:51] anyways, I either need to ^A^D or find a box of matches for my eyes [13:51] ActionParsnip, if thats the problem with it booting that is [13:51] so adiós [13:51] ForgeAus: i dont mess with grub as I only single boot [13:51] my wireless connection stops randomly can anyone help me [13:52] ActionParsnip, btw using ntfs-3g mounts ntfs as writable no hassle [13:52] memory6 its your signal strength [13:52] ActionParsnip, but to mount the wubi image you need to use it as a loopback device, ie using the -o loop paramenter to mount [13:52] memory6 how are u connected from an ISP or a router? [13:53] ActionParsnip: I did do that but it is sooo screwed up [13:53] its 20 cm long and still no connection [13:53] ActionParsnip: can i mount the disk image and recover the home folder from there??? if so, then how to mount it? [13:53] ActionParsnip, 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/loop [13:53] what umask do i set to make both folders and files 777 when created? [13:53] its router [13:54] memory6 it has full bars [13:54] andrewboktor, what is your problem no boot in wubi? I'm having something similar === miguel is now known as Guest75458 [13:54] yes it has full bars [13:54] andrewboktor, but recovery mode works? [13:54] I cant conect any usb device in my virtualbox [13:54] i think its abuot driver [13:54] can u help me?? [13:54] i am trying to install via PXE from a another local machine on the LAN . i get to the pxe menu etc but I am prompted to Please enter the directory in which the mirror of Ubuntu archive is located - this is supposedly the directory where it searches for release file . can u please let me know wht to enter here [13:54] ForgeAus: after update, something is screwed up, grub goes into grubrescue [13:54] - ljsoftnet, 15:54 - [13:55] anyone? [13:55] andrewboktor, oh I dunno about grubrescue I havn't had that but after update my boot dies... [13:55] - ljsoftnet, my connection stops randomly or after reboot [13:55] andrewboktor, hangs indefinitely on I think its plymouth? bootsplash [13:55] server went down, brought back up, now client that had previous mounted shares from that server can no longer access the shares and mount just hangs, server claims shares are active... suggestions? [13:55] and strenght bar is full [13:56] andrewboktor if recovery mode works I can help you mount the volume but from there I don't know how to fix grub [13:56] attempted to umount, but claims device is busy [13:56] does anyone know how to install a mini OS from the PXE option ? [13:56] memory6 must be your ISP, can you call there customer support? [13:57] ForgeAus: i suggest you use UUIDs instead of /dev/sdXX [13:58] andrewboktor, 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/loop [13:58] is there some way to reinstall dependencies, cause in my config.log ther are a lot of undefined references for example [13:58] andrewboktor: from there you can chroot or whatever [13:58] ActionParsnip, I was told not to use UUIDs, from some faq I was reading [13:58] - 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 ok [13:59] andrewboktor: 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 image [13:59] ActionParsnip, I didn't understand why tho [13:59] hello [13:59] gss_release, gcry_md_close, [13:59] memory6 have you tried researching setting for the wireless card? [13:59] knock knock knock! [13:59] memory6 settings i mean [13:59] ForgeAus: weird, UUIDs uniquely identify the partition, if you add drives to a system the numbering may change but the UUID will not [13:59] ForgeAus: if it works, then use it [14:00] ActionParsnip, yes well it worked but I still can't boot the partition [14:00] I can mount it from busybox (recovery mode) but what to do from there? [14:00] how can i be of use to ya all dudes? [14:01] maxice how much do you know about wubi? [14:01] i have non ose vb. and still cant plug in pen drive. [14:01] help [14:01] wubi very less , installing ubuntu from windows? [14:01] ActionParsnip, it really shouldn't be too difficult... I'm close [14:01] maybe i can try tohelp... [14:01] maxice, no recovering wubi boot after an update [14:01] ActionParsnip, is there a way to install the 10.04 version of the gnu-smalltalk package which has amd64? [14:01] - ljsoftnet, i install ndiswrapper to install windows driver but nothing changed and my wlan is wep key [14:02] maxice, there is faq's and stuff tried most of them still no go [14:02] dragonlord: you could try the lucid version but it may make a big mess [14:02] so whats the deal, ok... i had that problem too... do you have a ubuntu live usb? [14:02] why should it? it's just a library [14:02] dragonlord: i dont advise it but it may work [14:02] maxice I can mount the volume in recovery mode but I can't seem to fix the grub entry or whatever is stopping it from booting [14:02] dragonlord: its been compiled for lucid, not maverick [14:02] memory6 im out of options, try asking this chat room again [14:02] okay [14:02] This is WEIRD sudo add-apt-repository dose not work after update from 10.04 to 10.10 ??? [14:02] maxice no I don't have live usb [14:03] ActionParsnip, can you also install from something like source package like on GenToo? [14:03] - ljsoftnet, thx [14:03] dragonlord: each repo and PPA supports different versions of ubuntu, if tey were interchangeable we'd just have one folder [14:03] what happens when you boot the system, was it cominglike grub recovery> ? [14:03] ActionParsnip, after all it worked for i386 so it should also work on amd64 [14:03] dragonlord: but it doesn't work like that a LOT of the time [14:03] onryo, maybe your repository is already there but disabled? [14:03] python-software-properties [14:03] memory6 no problem [14:03] I got that too [14:03] maxice I did replace wubildr with the one from winboot in the /ubuntu tree somewhere which helped some [14:03] dragonlord: you can install from source, yes [14:03] ActionParsnip, how is that done in kubuntu? [14:04] maxice no I was getting indefinite (I think its plymouth?) bootsplash [14:04] dragonlord: 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 made [14:04] my wireless network connection stops randomly or after i reboot the system is there any idea about this problem [14:04] ActionParsnip, 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 beforehand [14:04] ok i'll give u better solution, but it may not work for you... [14:04] was yours a fresh ubuntu installation? [14:04] i have non ose vb. and still cant plug in pen drive. [14:04] dragonlord: look into compiling source, you will need to install build-essential [14:04] but I found an error when I used virtual terminal (ie control + alt + f1) something about lvm2 script not working, I'll try rebooting but I have to switch computers... [14:05] hi there, i need to put some space in the metacity buttons [14:05] dragonlord: you will also need ALL the -dev packages for whatever you are compiling [14:05] no it was not. I got 4 HD in RAID 0 on the alt that I am using x-swat and vdpau etc on [14:05] my wireless network connection stops randomly or after i reboot the system is there any idea about this problem [14:05] can you tell me the space tag? [14:05] memory6: what authentication mode you use [14:05] note maxice I can mount it from in recovery mode [14:05] hi [14:05] AbhiJit, tried #vbox ? [14:05] memory6 you using the eeepc [14:05] ActionParsnip, if I can build the soft already with SCons then I presume all should be ready [14:05] and yes it was a fresh install (kubuntu not ubuntu if that matters) [14:05] fabio333: between the minimize, maximize, close buttons? [14:05] bazhang, no :( [14:05] Just upgrade to 2.6.35 and you will be cool [14:06] ok then it must be grub bootloader was installed to wrong device... it should have been installed to /dev/sda [14:06] maedox: right [14:06] ActionParsnip, so I presume there would be something like "gnu-smalltalk-src" package or alike? [14:06] grid_ my network is open for everyone and in administor mode [14:06] Jezzz this chat is a mess! [14:06] !compile | dragonlord [14:06] dragonlord: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [14:06] maxice how od I check that? [14:06] to fix that i heard that you should chroot fromlive to your mounted device and do a grub-install to device and then do grub-update [14:06] fabio333: start gconf-editor and go to apps -> metacity. click on button_layout and the help message will tell you all you need to know.

The options were grayed out until I installed CCSM, now they're selectable but don't do anything (compiz doesn't get enabled) [14:11] that one should work with Maverick [14:11] did u google it? [14:11] dragonlord: based on your replys I suggest you just wait it out [14:11] !google | maxice [14:11] maxice: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [14:11] (it then goes on to say cant' mount /dev/sda, /dev, /sys and /proc on /root/* (repsectively) No such file or directory (or in /dev/sda2's case No such device) ...

[14:14] Annoying Black screen comes up frequently on my Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit version !! any help?? [14:14] memory6 maybe you have compiled some drivers once before and they are still left. If that is the case you need to black list them [14:14] Hello all, I've got a strange problem, I've set up a dns server, and with xp everything works fine, but in ubuntu I can do nslookup for every site, and I can ping the ip. If I ping the domain it fails, anyone any clue (ubuntu 10.04LTS) [14:15] ok mounted [14:15] ok mounted [14:15] if I ping the domain I see ping: unknown host xp.ward.local [14:15] which file shoudl i edit the boot order in my dual boot system?

[14:16] maxice I have to mount the ntfs partition to get to the hardfile (root.disk) [14:16] is that where wubi stores the grub files and all? [14:16] I think [14:16] I don't know where wubi stores the grub files [14:16] researcher1: no, but I don't think there are docs about it [14:16] oskar-: any way to reinstall all packages including maybe missing dependencies? [14:16] warddr, seems that your ubuntu didn't know where to find the dns server [14:16] it has a grubldr (actually the file is a windows file, wubildr which I think its a grub boot image [14:16] at least thats what Im guessing [14:16] v_v: but an nslookup works fine, and I manualy set the dns server [14:17] Hey folks, i have problem with networking (routing) via VPN (PPTP).

Here is the output of route -n: http://wieshka.pastebin.com/YnhzaUid [14:17] which file shoudl i edit the boot order in my dual boot system? [14:17] tifflor: i don't know, apt* should take care of this automatically [14:17] this is strange [14:17] the linux partition is actually stored in a file root.disk under the \ubuntu\disks directory on C: which is why I had to go through that mounting process [14:17] warddr, this is strange [14:17] wieshka whats your /etc/hosts look like? [14:17] and no it wasn't a fresh install of ubuntu, I told you it was after an update... [14:17] Is there a opposite command for locale-gen ? I want to remove all my something_SOMETHING.ISO-8859-1 locales and only keep the utf-8's [14:17] forgeaus,bear with me,let me think and see how wubi works cos i'm not using windows at all, so i'll be back in a moment... [14:17] but anyway I've mounted it now and have access to the files... === Putr|Away is now known as Putr [14:17] onryo: only localhost & ipv6 entries [14:17] oskar- at least it seems that a few packages or config files are missing so I thought that could be the problem [14:18] onryo: as default one :) [14:18] Does anyone else have trouble with Compiz in UNE? I found that comiz-core wasn't installed by default, but installing it hasn't helped. [14:18] warddr, any information does the 'ping' show out ?

[14:20] v_v: I pinged the domain name, response was ping: unknown host ward.local [14:20] and grub is mostly just a matter of the menu.list file, but grub2 is more complicated, and ext4 has no read/write drivers I've come across... [14:21] warddr, ls -l `which ping` [14:21] and I think I'm lagged :( [14:21] ActionParsnip: thanks [14:21] ForgeAus: grub2 isn't that bad once you understand that stuff moved [14:21] v_v: ls -l `which ping` [14:21] wieshka run a DIG or NSLOOKUP [14:21] ForgeAus: for most peopole /etc/default/grub is all they'll need [14:21] onryo thanks for your advices i want to add that when i reboot with windows 7 it turns normal and what should i add to blacklist [14:22] v_v: /bin/ping [14:22] warddr: if you put mediaplayer on the line with 127.0.0.1 it can speed things up too (I read a while back) [14:22] hmmm...

[14:27] v_v: I've checked that: # Generated by NetworkManager search 10.22.41.10 nameserver 10.22.41.10 [14:27] warddr, check this out, it may help http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/ping-does-not-resolve-name-while-nslookup-does-251446/ [14:27] histo, thanks, but please see the link first. It explains things a little better [14:27] thevishy: ubuntu minimal or lubuntu maybe? [14:27] v_v: (3 lines) [14:27] Clemens: ahh, then launch as user (not root), it will ask you for your pass later, my bad [14:28] warddr, if you remove the 'search 10.22.41.10', it probably will work fine for ping [14:28] ActionParsnip: NP. Thanks [14:28] warddr, i see that, [14:28] thevishy: +1 for lubuntu or you can install minimal then install lxde|fluxbox|openbox for suprememe minimalism [14:28] warddr, just try it, and see if it works [14:29] onryo thanks [14:29] b3rz3rk3r: perhaps you can describe the error you are getting with smbtree or maybe pastebin the output [14:29] !paste > b3rz3rk3r [14:29] b3rz3rk3r, please see my private message [14:29] oskar-: any simple way to copy the complete config.log file into a pastebin?

[14:31] very wierd ... a couple keyboard keys have stopped working since upgrading to 10.10 The keys work fine in other operating systems. How should I go about troubleshooting this? [14:32] warddr, i don't know if yours is the same [14:32] b3rz3rk3r: are the shares password protected? [14:33] oskar-: gladier: here is the paste: http://pastebin.com/4pzqkETp [14:33] histo, no they are all open.. but when i go to Places -> Network I cant see any shares [14:33] oskar-: sorry wrong content: http://pastebin.com/DEyyAfB4 [14:34] v_v: page of the link? [14:34] b3rz3rk3r: on the windows box try rebooting it or net use * /delete [14:35] warddr, sorry i don't speak english, so i just do my best to meke me understood, read this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/ping-does-not-resolve-name-while-nslookup-does-251446/ [14:35] if i query my dns server i get the expected responce for all zones except the zone for the network range the host is in [14:35] in which case i get a nxdomain in 0ms .... [14:35] the dns server never see's a reply to the packet yet the local machine does ... i think its doing it by its self for some reason [14:35] v_v: no problem I do the same, my first language is Dutch [14:36] b3rz3rk3r: these are windows boxes you are trying to connect to from nix right? [14:36] mattish: add the resolution in your hosts file and it will be fine [14:36] histo, yes, rebooting now [14:36] that doesnt fix the problem tho does it [14:36] mattish: you'll get the connection which you currently are unable to get, so yes [14:36] I'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] xorg.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. [14:37] the connection already works [14:37] Grrr. Why the hell does google chrome entry keep disappearing from the gnome menu? I have to keep on reinstalling it to get it back in the menu [14:37] i need to query the dns server for data [14:37] which doesnt ... [14:37] i can query every other zone but not the one for the local network the host is on [14:37] mattish: is the nameserver named in /etc/resolv.conf ? [14:37] I can do without this headache when firefox is FUBAR [14:37] hey guys, is the upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 safe? [14:38] no i am specificly setting it to use that ns with the dig command [14:38] histo, Ok, its up again, still no shares showing [14:38] sachael: as safe as any other upgrade to the next release [14:39] hello, when i resize any browser window in ubuntu, all I see is an outline of the window but I do not see how the content with in the browser changes as I resize. is there a fix? [14:39] b3rz3rk3r: hrm... Try in /etc/samba/smb.conf chaning securit = user to security = share [14:39] warddr, hello ? are you there ? [14:39] b3rz3rk3r: they have some issues with their auth detection scheme [14:39] histo, there are 5 windows machines on the network and can all see each other and the linux shares on this machine [14:39] b3rz3rk3r: then what is the problem exactly? [14:40] warddr, in the end, the person with nickname 'nidelius' solves the problem in Ubuntu 10.04LTS [14:40] histo, linux machine cant see windows shares [14:40] Hello friendly community! I have som problems with my cdrom. I can read and write data cd's, but can not read audio cd's. I believe i could play audi cd's before upgrading to 10.10, via 10.04, from 9.10. Anyone here heard of this problem? [14:40] b3rz3rk3r: but it can browse them right? [14:40] !info libphp5.so [14:40] Package libphp5.so does not exist in maverick [14:40] !find libphp5.so [14:40] File libphp5.so found in libapache2-mod-php5, php5-dbg [14:40] histo, no. I cant browse them in nautilus or from CLI [14:40] histo, makes me think samba is broken? [14:41] v_v: I fixed it, I changed the search domain to ward.local, and now I can ping xp === Guest1172 is now known as rusty149 [14:41] warddr, greate [14:41] warddr, great [14:41] what's the Ubuntu way to start Xvfb at boot (whenever it's possible) and keep it running all the time? Here's my first attempt with Upstart http://paste.pocoo.org/show/276963/ [14:41] histo, ok edited smb.conf, do i need to restart samba now? [14:41] b3rz3rk3r: It can only do one auth type at a time. So if you are trying to password protect your share but the windows ones aren't I don't think it will work. [14:41] b3rz3rk3r: sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart [14:42] does anyone have that invinsible window effect when resizing browsers in ubuntu? [14:42] histo, im not trying to protect any shares, just trying to get linux to be able to browse windows shares [14:43] b3rz3rk3r: any luck after restarting the daemon? [14:43] Hi all. I have a problem with my laptop periodically (seemingly randomly) falling off the wireless network here at work. My coworkers with their windows machines don't seem to experience this issue. is there anything I can tweek to make the connection more solid ? [14:43] Look, someone is going to have to fix this. Firefox is completely FUBAR on all my machines and google-chrome disappears from gnome menu every time the menu is restarted. WTF??? [14:43] histo, ah ok.. had to use "sudo restart smbd" [14:43] running 10.04 on a thinkpad t61p [14:43] Anybody on the external monitor resolution problem? [14:43] I need a fucking browser here. [14:43] histo, checking shares now [14:43] !language | soreau [14:43] soreau: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [14:44] hello, world! im running xchat from an ubuntu 10.10 32-bit live cd, but im having a slightly annoying problem. Everything is working perfectly, but the screen keeps flickering black sometimes which is VERY annoying. i - neeeeed - help!!. [14:44] soreau, chrome [14:44] soreau: bellyaching in #ubuntu-offtopic. [14:44] soreau, chrome is nicer than firefox anyways. Check it out. [14:44] histo, it works! :D [14:44] b3rz3rk3r: yeah that's odd. [14:44] soreau, actually chromium is even better than chrome, more privacy [14:44] b3rz3rk3r: seems like a bug [14:45] histo, thanks so much for taking the time to help me with this :) [14:45] how can I downgrade libapache2-mod-php5? [14:45] chrom too smal fonts,lol [14:45] b3rz3rk3r: np [14:45] small [14:45] soreau, also it is bleeding edge, always being updated [14:45] histo, odd behaviour, but as long as the shares work, im happy. thanks [14:45] suigeneris: remove the vesion installed and install the one in your archive [14:45] thiebaude: ctrl-+ fixes that right up [14:45] b3rz3rk3r: yeah it's because of the way the windows machines are authing I believe. [14:45] tifflor: did you install build-essential? [14:45] If i burn files present in a .iso file (not burn from .iso) to a CD and then mark it as bootable, will be able to boot from it? [14:45] Dulak, thanks [14:45] *i be [14:46] thiebaude: not to mention editing the preferences to start at a bigger size by default [14:46] Dulak, i'll try that [14:46] FusionX: no you need to do more than that to boot from cd. [14:46] i have no option to boot to ubuntu aftr installing windows [14:46] Hi [14:46] histo, i noticed from smbtree than client lanman auth is disabled.. could this be why? [14:46] can somebody help me? [14:46] I have lucid lynx [14:47] b3rz3rk3r: well you can specify client lanman auth = yes and plaintext auth = yes in smb.conf as well.

Windows doesnt play nice does it? :P [14:48] histo: no, only output from apt-get [14:48] Sean93, i believe you still have to install windows first then linux [14:48] b3rz3rk3r: the way they handle networking is kind of jacked up. [14:48] ikonia, sipior well what does the browser window look like when you resize the window manually? [14:48] whats not working about it?

The sleep light on my computer flashes indefinitely - normally it's supposed to hold steady once the sleep starts or go out when the hibernate starts [14:49] histo : yes i know the BIOS setup part, anything else than that? [14:49] any clue how to fix? [14:49] !pin | suigeneris [14:49] suigeneris: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others.

[14:50] FusionX: no on the cd itself you need some form of bootloader etc... [14:50] siddhion: what possible difference does this make? [14:50] IdleOne: i have already done it [14:50] amfg_: if it says 0 packages then that means there is nothing to update/upgrade [14:50] yes [14:50] amfg_: ok so it is working [14:50] but i've got 10.04... [14:50] still [14:50] not 10.10 [14:50] ahh [14:51] sipior, well for example if you are a CSS developer and want to see how your content changes position in a fluid layout, seeing realtime changes is important [14:51] Hello, I'm trying to install "likewise open". latest release is version 6, but in the software center only version 5.4 appears.

[14:51] histo : its the files from a liveCD .iso, so ofcourse there is a bootloader... [14:51] siddhion: i'm not currently logged into an ubuntu system. [14:52] sipior, also i want to know if there is someway i can fix it. oh ok. thanks anyways [14:52] FusionX: then yes but I don't why you would want to do that. Rather than just burning the iso [14:52] I'm looking for a quick image editor (scale, crop, export to other formats) for linux, Gimp is taking too long to run for a quick fix..ideas?

[14:53] FusionX: are you sure the iso isn't just inside of the zip [14:53] histo : yes, i thought it would be but no [14:53] !ask > cervera [14:53] cervera, please see my private message [14:54] FusionX: assuming everything is there it should work [14:54] I'm trying to install "likewise open". latest release is version 6, but in the software center only version 5.4 appears. help!

[14:56] Ughh this is really annoy9ing. I had chromium installed which was selected as my default browser. Now when right clicking on a link in terminal it is still trying to use that to open. I've already set my default as firefox with update-alternatives [14:56] It's a Broadcom BCM4312 rev01 [14:57] iwconfig [14:57] oops [14:57] oskar-: no, at least not that I'm aware of, what is that [14:57] shows no wireless extensions [14:57] Alaric_: system > administration > additional drivers [14:58] I get Broadcom B43 wireless driver and the STA driver [14:58] the STA driver is active, cause I installed it [14:58] but it doesn't work [14:58] Alaric_: install the B$# [14:58] 43* [14:59] Ahh stupid preferred aps in gnome [14:59] the B43 gives me some error when I tried to install it [14:59] IdleOne: yeah I think there is a bug in meerkat with broadcom a lot of people keep coming in with errors installing the sta [14:59] is there another way besides samba to share file between 2 Ubuntu boxes? One other than ftp? [14:59] marian_: there are a ton of ways [15:00] when I run any operating systems on virtualbox, my computers cpu temp always gets over 130 and sometimes rises to as high as 160 [15:00] marian_: nfs is good for linux-to-linux sharing on the same network [15:00] Alaric_: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer [15:00] histo, what would be the easiest for a nobie to install and configure? [15:00] should I uninstall/deactivate the STA driver first? [15:00] NFS? [15:01] Dulak, it worked just right thanks again [15:01] Alaric_: i would; given tthat is not working [15:01] thiebaude: np [15:01] marian_: let me think about that [15:01] http://suigeneris.pastebin.com/gRp1X15w <--- how can I fix this? [15:01] I'm getting "Sorry, user root is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/Xvfb :99' as worker:worker on host" although sudo -l says "(ALL) ALL". Any idea? [15:01] Alaric_: you have to make the install while connected to internet via wire [15:01] Dulak, how easy is nfs to confugure? [15:01] marian_: ssh [15:02] erUSUL, that is easy? [15:02] phretor why do you have a root user? [15:02] marian_: I think it's easier than samba but I've been doing it a long time. It's a simple export file on the server, and the right entry in fstab on the client(s) [15:02] marian_: samba is pretty easy but you can just right lcikc on something and share it. It will prompt you [15:02] tifflor: you may be missing some auto-tools and its headers, so i suggest to install the package build-essential with its dependencies [15:02] marian_: yep, just install server [15:02] marian_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ [15:03] ok, thank you all [15:03] guess I should reboot now? [15:03] Alaric_, I have a laptop with Broadcom B43 wireless adapter. So in additional drivers there are two options for the adapter... 'Broadcom B43 Wireless' and 'Broadcom STA wireless' [15:03] going to read it now [15:03] aye, same here [15:03] When 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 beginning [15:03] oskar-: is there a complete virtual package for that or do I have to install all the parts manually [15:03] I 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] going to reboot brb [15:04] fewboo: the password is in your keyring. and the keyring is unblocked with your login password [15:04] tifflor: just install build-essential [15:04] eurythmia: what video chip? [15:04] nicoAMG: sta [15:04] fewboo, the password is to hold onto just in case your compy becomes fubar, and you need to get into your home dir. [15:05] Oh, I see. Thanks! [15:05] ActionParsnip, Intel GM965/GL960 Integrated (rev 0c) [15:05] eurythmia: you may need an xorg.conf to make it nice, also check in system -> preferences -> monitor [15:05] http://suigeneris.pastebin.com/gRp1X15w <--- how can I fix this? [15:06] oskar- built-essential has already been installed [15:06] k still broke :\ [15:06] ActionParsnip, I've gone through system->preferences->monitor, it doesn't report any higher resolutions. [15:06] does anybody else's machine get really hot when they use virtualbox? I'm just wondering if this is abnormal? [15:06] how do i restart the gnome dock bars ? [15:06] suigeneris: do you have php5-common 5.2.10 in your archives? [15:06] ActionParsnip, how can I generate an xorg.conf that reflects how the server is currently configured? [15:06] suigeneris: you in maverick? you are requesting a non existing version [15:06] yggdrasi1: killall gnome-panel [15:07] swim my mechine temp can rise to 70 when use virtualbox [15:07] histo: thanks [15:07] swim: yes I can't use it on my laptop because of that, it does stress the cpu quite a bit [15:07] eurythmia: you monitor isn't reporting its performance then you may need an xorg.cof file to tell the OS what it can do [15:07] dang, mine can get up to 170.. [15:07] debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable [15:07] that seems to be the source of my issues [15:07] when I dock my computer they sometimes go to the new res and sometimes odnt. [15:07] can anyone advise? [15:07] swim: he's probably reporting in degrees centigrade. [15:07] thanks [15:07] ActionParsnip, yeah, that's what I figured ... but I got confused when I looked for the xorg.conf and it didn't exist ;) [15:07] oh, yep, i bet so.. [15:07] histo, 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] erUSUL I am on maverick but I want to get karmic version [15:08] eurythmia: not by default, but if one exists it will be obeyed [15:08] histo dpkg -l gives me that, yes [15:08] nicoAMG: yeah the sta is proprietary from broadcom [15:08] swin 70 degree centrigrade [15:08] hey sipior, how do you make your response to me show up in red like that? [15:08] chaps, does anyone know of an ubuntu iso that will fit onto a spare 512mb usb stick that i have lying around ? [15:08] suigeneris: well then install the one from the archive [15:08] suigeneris: well you can not. [15:08] ActionParsnip, good to know. Back to the previous question ... how would I generate one that reflects the current configuration? [15:08] swim: by including your nick in the response. your irc client highlights the line for you. [15:08] erUSUL: he has older versions in his archives [15:09] if he is mixing repositories of different versions he is asking for trouble ... [15:09] oh cool.. thanks man!! i hadn't used irc for about 11 years until just the other day.. [15:09] oskar- I even reinstalled it right now, but no change [15:09] erUSUL http://www.nickveenhof.be/blog/reverting-or-downgrading-php-53-52-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-1004 says I can [15:10] idk why I stopped..

[15:10] erUSUL http://pastebin.com/5iPWPhC3 [15:10] !broadcom | Alaric_ [15:10] Alaric_: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [15:10] ActionParsnip, ah, nevermind, I found a forum post among those lines (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478310) Thanks. [15:10] Alaric_: did you try the STA driver? [15:11] yea, that's what I was using when I first came in here [15:11] ActionParsnip: I'm installing to the stick, so i have a portable linux boot stick if i go over to a friends house for instance [15:11] it installed, but wireless does not work [15:11] sectorb, Does it have a lot of space ? [15:12] Alaric_, Have you tried either the free and propietary drivers for the Broadcom wireless adapter? [15:12] I can't go into 1280x1024 with nvidia-settings, even though it's a screen that is capable of that resolution, it's stuck in 640x480. It also things I'm using a crt screen. Can't go into 1280x1024 with nvidia drivers removed either. any ideas? [15:12] Quantum_Ion: Its 512mb usb device [15:12] thinks* [15:12] ... [15:12] sectorb: 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 openoffice [15:13] sectorb, Wow you fit a whole ubuntu linux install on 512MB USB stick drive ? [15:13] suigeneris: then maybe you have to install the packages in correct order; duno. ask in the "blog" comments. [15:13] this latest update is retarded, on the plus side, at least the ubuntu font family is pretty, imo [15:13] ActionParsnip: perfect thanks, will do that - my other stick came in very handy for virus scanning and fixing friends borked puters [15:13] hello [15:13] ^windows puters [15:14] Quantum_Ion: you can use minimal and buil up, it wont be pleasant [15:14] Alaric_: no wlan with b43? in iwconfig? [15:14] scriptha, 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] sectorb: i suggest you use openbox or flwm to get a desktop [15:14] s.wxactly/exactly [15:14] b43 doesn't install [15:15] sectorb: if you want a really fast minimal linux DSL on a usb stick is pretty nice. I use slax for that myself, a little less minimal but runs really fast when you choose the toram boot option [15:15] I get some random error [15:15] Alaric_: error message? [15:15] ActionParsnip, I wont even attempt to install Ubuntu Linux on USB stick drive unless it had 16GB or more [15:15] like archive not available or whatever [15:15] Howdy [15:15] nice, thanks Dulak [15:15] Quantum_Ion: why, my install is 3b in size with compiz / gnome installed..... [15:15] 3Gb [15:16] soo highlighting in my system currently isnt working ? ... like ill go to select a line of text and the text color changes mildly .. but the background doesnt highlight up [15:16] ActionParsnip, becuase I usually end up needing a hell ova a lot of space on a USB stick drive [15:16] hi i made .deb package and i am testing it in virtualbox. could virtualbox be the reason why ubuntu center says that package isnt for i386 architecture? [15:16] Hi all, [15:16] ActionParsnip: what if you don't have USB boot option in the BIOS , is there a workaround ? [15:16] Quantum_Ion: maybe for your user docs, but the OS is fairly lean [15:16] Is there a known bug with 10.04.1 LTS with formatting external USB drives in ext3 and ext4? I've got TWO Seagate Freeagent 250 GB drives and both gparted and mke2fs throw short read errors on both when formatting. I've tested the drives with smartd and Seatools and they pass all tests. [15:16] cat /etc/issue [15:17] Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS [15:17] exact error when installing B43 driver is SystemError: installArchives () failed [15:17] I ran into problems when connecting to svn repo via http:// protocol [15:17] BluesKaj: you can boot CD / floppy to then boot USB: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/use-a-floppy-to-boot-usb-pendrive-linux/ [15:17] ActionParsnip, well I program in Java, Qt, and Android using NetBeans so I need a lot of space for the SDK's [15:17] balzac5000: maybe flaky usb cable? or usb port? [15:17] Quantum_Ion: ahhh, now it makes sense [15:17] svn --version : 1.6.6 [15:17] okay, I'm off for a bit to tweak my X and test it. === Obadiah is now known as Vivek [15:17] erUSUL: thanks for the response! [15:18] erUSUL: I am using a PCI 2.0 USB card === zz_rubydiamond is now known as rubydiamond [15:18] Quantum_Ion: even with those SDKś youĺl be pushing it to break 10GB before adding data [15:18] That seems to work fine with a 1.5TB FreeAgent drive [15:18] Let me try swapping cables - good idea! [15:18] tifflor: i'm sorry, running out of ideas... [15:18] eurythmia thanks it's 1152x864 now I'll leave it there =/ [15:18] balzac5000: mine has giving me problems with the printer... now i use only the mobo integrated ports [15:18] any reason why the upgrade from 10.4 to 10.10 is not in the update manager? [15:18] oskar-: me too [15:19] phew. everything is okay now [15:19] acicula, Thats why I have to wait until they have 64GB USB sticks or more in order to be comfortable with that arrangement [15:19] bisu: I would assume because it's not an LTS [15:19] erUSUL: I can dig that. This one only has USB 1.0 [15:19] Is there anything I can install in ubuntu to remotely control it from other locations without forwarding ports? [15:19] E.g. something akin to logmein.com [15:19] you can still upgrade by going to ALt+F2 or from terminal and upgrade [15:19] rockets: vnc [15:19] Bisu[Shield] Settings -> Release upgrade [15:19] Bisu[Shield]: run 'update-manager -d' to see the upgrade [15:19] rockets: if you are behind a router you will need to forward ports [15:19] erUSUL: again, the fact that all is happy with the 1.5 TB drive leads be to believe THAT part is okay at least... [15:19] I forgot the command [15:20] are there bugs being ironed out? should I just leave my virtual box at 10.4 or is it save to upgrade? [15:20] greppy, *without* forwading ports. [15:20] Quantum_Ion: usb sticks dont make very good permanent OS disks to begin with [15:20] can we install mini.iso ( Minimal ubuntu) using PXE folkz [15:20] balzac5000: ok; check cables then [15:20] rockets: ah, not really.. unless you want to mess with forwarding ports using ssh [15:20] erUSUL: got a spare I'm ripping out of the package now... =8^) [15:20] greppy, crappy. [15:20] hello all :) how to run .exe files in wine appplication? [15:20] thevishy: mini just contains a kernel and initrd [15:20] goto http://tinyurl.com/348ajfj for teh win. DO IT! [15:20] acicula, in 10 years from now the hard drives will be USB sticks and SSD drives [15:20] Logmein.com works so well. [15:20] thevishy: you\ll be wanting to install a little more then that [15:21] yes , but is it possible to install with PXE booting ? just curios [15:21] erUSUL, any other ideas for the broadcom driver? [15:21] Morning, I'm trying to remove Ubuntu from my laptop. I had it on my Win7 work laptop and well I need some more space there. Is there a way I can re-allocate that space back without having to wipe and reinstall the system? (I still use Linux soley as my desktop and server on other systems, so this isn't a "I'm leaving Ubuntu" post) [15:21] i want a minimal ubuntu to be installed via PXE booting . hope you get what I want - instaed of a full 30 minutes installation . just want minimal featuers and install part by part later [15:21] occy, Google PartedMagic and partition your hard drive [15:21] Alaric_: no sorry. [15:22] Quantum_Ion: kk [15:22] erUSUL, no problem thanks for trying :( [15:22] the main problem is that my laptop gets hot hence needs to break down by installation . [15:22] is mysql 5.1.51 in the repos, and if so how do install it, since the latest stable has a big bug in the update procedure [15:22] how to run .exe files in wine application?? [15:22] thevishy, is it a Dell laptop ? [15:23] i don't know [15:23] Quantum_Ion: *hugs* [15:23] NO , its a 2005 model Compaq Presario [15:23] snehachitre: right click it -> open with wine [15:24] Having trouble getting my linkys to work...again! Seems the default conn mgr worked fine with my Netgear (aetheros drivers) right out of the gate...but that usb wifi adapter is toast...had my linksys working using a diff conn mgr but can't remember how ? [15:24] thevishy: google netboot and follow the instructions, its pretty straightforward, but you get the same end result with an alternate cd install or mini boot iso [15:24] been to the forums and can't find the info to get the other conn mgr to run as default INSTEAD of the normal default conn mgr :( [15:24] theGman: if you run: sudo iwlist scan | head -n 25 does it find an SSID? [15:24] suigeneris: that's actually an Upstart job and I need to run Xvfb as a foo:bar user:grup [15:25] The file '/home/ssc/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/msgr10us.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit. this error [15:25] ActionParsnip: Not sure...as I have to reboot into it for me to check :( [15:25] acicula : netboot - PXe boot is what I am doing . i am wondering if there is lesser than alternate distro for the purpose [15:25] do i have to paste it in C: drive [15:25] oskar-: any way to rebuild all the packages? [15:25] snehachitre: what are you doing to get that message? [15:25] any takers? are there bugs being ironed out? should I just leave my virtual box at 10.4 or is it save to [15:25] thevishy: its the same distro, alternate cd just means alternative way of installing the same system [15:26] thevishy: if your system is overheating during installation you need to adress that first though [15:26] huhh?!!! i right clicked and opend with wine application [15:26] snehachitre: you can paste the text to a text file, then use a usb storage / sd card as windows is garbage and cannot read ext4 fs [15:26] Bisu[Shield]: why don't you take a snapshot and then you can revert if it all goes wrong? [15:26] thevishy: as just overheating during installation is not a good sighn [15:26] ActionParsnip: And if it does? [15:26] q. how the 10.10 update is going ? [15:26] actionParsnip: dint get anything [15:26] ActionParsnip: and what do I do if it doesn't? (so I can reduce the rebooting :P ) [15:27] thevishy: did you look at lubuntu.. Or check out crunch bang [15:27] snehachitre: did you check the appdb to see if the app runs? [15:27] snehachitre: try running "wine somefilename" where somefilename is your executable [15:27] appdb? @_@ [15:27] anyone rsyslog gurus around? trying to debug an issue where a ubuntu log server is writing out duplicate log messages from a remote syslog client [15:27] I will chjeck both of those - thanks . overheating is a problem , ia m trying for tweaks - to be honest this is an old laptop for temporary purpose [15:27] theGman: then run: sudo lshw -C network note the wireless chip and then websearch for guides [15:28] wait be right back [15:28] suigeneris: maybe theere are better ways to run Xvfb as a different user.

If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [16:11] lirvan: you can try xubuntu [16:11] ok will try fluxbox.

I don't think theres a task that includes them. Also, cpanel is commercial, you won't find a package for it in the repos.

A lot of work goes into making sure that a release is appripriate for an LTS and it isn't something that we can do every release. [16:36] ok so i shouldn't worry about upgrading from 10.4 to 10.10 then? [16:36] how can i get the permissions an owner have and set to group in a file?

[16:40] whats the best irc client for gnome [16:41] irssi :) [16:41] Robinux my guess is X-Chat [16:41] pksadiq, i have blueman installed. still have the error [16:41] W3b3r_: 10.04 isn't compatible with RAID, so it is better to install 9.10 and then upgrade to 10.04 [16:41] My personal experience though [16:41] Robinux: last but not least, pidgin [16:41] eraggo: it has how to change permissions... but not how to set equal permissions :S [16:41] Robinux: If you want features, weechat or irssi.

[17:43] DasEi: Thanks [17:44] I 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-mounted [17:44] boy 10.10 upgrades sure arent happy it seems... but new installs went smooth it sounds like? [17:44] Second, '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] there should definitely be a way to automount certain devices [17:44] for the record Dell deny all knowledge [17:45] uhhh damn i messed up things with tasksel [17:45] not sure what startup disc creator is... on my parents computer i run the OS off a livecd [17:45] which makes me wonder who wrote that page, what did they know that dell dont? [17:45] can i do something like "system restor" ? [17:45] Phrosty: Everything was automounting perfectly with 10.04, and now don't with 10.10 [17:45] ubuntu upgrades seem to always have problems [17:45] i'm running ubuntu now but i'm probably gonna go back to linux mint soon (probably debian version) [17:46] I 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 too [17:46] oh def [17:46] BrianE: http://tinyurl.com/2vjazy8 , for the automount [17:46] please guys I need help about this, the ctrl+shift key is stuck after trying Sugar desktop. Anyone can help to fix this? [17:46] take a look at gconf and see if there's anything out of place [17:46] kubera: any idea? [17:46] go back to sugar and turn it off? [17:47] BrianE: for the second, purge the app and try a re-install [17:47] Phrosty: how? [17:47] how did you get into sugar in the first place? [17:47] Phrosty: 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] Phrosty: was installed per default or mistake [17:48] Phrosty: just want to try it === marc is now known as Guest41884 [17:48] BrianE, linux mint debian edition uses the testing repos.. not stable [17:48] okapi, i know nothing about sugar i would just backup and reinstall really.. that's my cure for almost any OS ailment [17:48] Phrosty: I read it as you were going back to Debian, sorry [17:49] no linux mint debian edition is my favorite currently [17:49] it has all the features of linux mint with the speed and efficiency of debian [17:49] DasEi: 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] also since it's testing the repos are very new [17:49] Phrosty: and the base is probably better, since its based on Debian directly not through Ubuntu [17:50] BrianE: read my previous post ? [17:50] ActionParsnip: I'm ok with being pointed to docs...I'm just not having much success finding any :( Still trying tho [17:50] well it's still experimental i guess.. but it works just fine [17:50] Phrosty: no not experimental, newish though, yes [17:50] DasEi: Aah, sorry, missed that [17:50] TYVM :) [17:50] well the build is stable.. but it's only the first release [17:50] np [17:50] and there's still bugs [17:50] Phrosty: if it was still in development versions only, then it would be experimental, but the final first version has been out a little while now [17:51] even the installer has a big bug that misses out on swap space completely [17:51] yea.. i used the beta and it seemed OK to me [17:51] DasEi: It's set properly, though =\ [17:51] Phrosty: I was giong to vm it, but haven't yet [17:51] diwin: 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 basics [17:51] I'm still thinking it's a gconf policy set wrong somewhere, but for Nautlius [17:51] *Nautilus [17:51] it's basically just LM except slightly more robust and missing some ubuntu specific features like propriety driver installer [17:51] diwin: not tested though it though === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [17:52] BrianE: then try an reinstall and start from terminal to get more debug [17:52] is there kernel support for lzma 10.10? [17:52] Phrosty: 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 instead [17:52] yea i hope so [17:52] BrianE: sudo apt-get remove --purge usb-creator* --dry-run [17:53] although the propriety driver installer can be fairly useful... [17:53] crunchbang statler is very nice too.. although nowhere near as powerful as LM/ubuntu [17:53] Hi folks... I have created an SVN by running svnadmin create myrepo ... I have a directory on the same computer with files... how do I commit those files to that same repository ? [17:53] BrianE: first check this way what would be deleted, the cut the --dry-run to execute [17:53] then [17:53] Phrosty: crunchbang based on Debian now [17:54] yaeh [17:54] JenniferB2: first you need to do a checkout on the new repository, then move the files in place, do `svn add *` then `svn commit .` [17:54] DasEi: I already have libmp3lame installed === rapha is now known as jerboa [17:55] Phrosty: however yeah easy way to install propritary drivers can be very useful [17:55] yup [17:55] although free drivers are pretty good for the most part.. unless you're doing crazy stuff like gaming lol [17:55] kubera: what is the reason you want to compile libsoa.. ? [17:55] Phrosty: yep [17:56] kubera: the lib has a dev-version that might suit for it, but why ? [17:56] DasEi: no libsoa, liquidsoap? [17:56] kubera: yes [17:56] hi. how can i install an apache-mysql-phpmyadmin in ubuntu? i want to use them like wamp server.

[17:58] susan_: have you tried the builtin configuration tools, what problems let you to try vineyard? [17:58] sebsebseb: didn't she just say what it was? [17:58] sebsebseb: it's meant to allow greater integration between GTK and wine, as far as i can tell [17:58] sipior: uh yeah [17:59] neat susan_ I've never heard of it, need to check that one out [17:59] i'm installing, thank you iceroot [17:59] 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 unreadable [17:59] susan_: Which Windows program/s do you want to install? [18:00] susan_: are you using the -dpi switch for X? [18:00] susan_: oh you can copy in fonts from Windows and put them in Wine for example [18:00] 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] ddilinger: ddilinger: not that i know of - i just set it under the appearance window in ubuntu [18:00] susan_: you know the hidden. wine folder in Home yeah? [18:00] sebsebseb: yeah [18:00] susan_: http://ppa.launchpad.net/cybolic/ppa/ubuntu is up [18:00] susan_: you can copy in fonts from Windows for example and put them in there, where they go [18:01] ### [18:01] 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 again [18:01] susan_: also there may be a way to change the font size without using some other program, I guess #winehq would know [18:02] 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 ones [18:02] susan_: by the way there is a native version of Spotiy now for Ubuntu and Debian, but a bit experimental I think still [18:02] susan_: https://launchpad.net/~cybolic/+archive/ppa , there is a description how to add repo [18:02] FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder: MPEG AAC Audio. How to fix this? [18:02] sebsebseb: you need a paid spotify cannot to use it, unfortunately :P [18:02] *account [18:02] Where does gnome store it's appearance settings? [18:03] DasEi: i'm using those exact instructions and getting a 404 [18:03] susan_: yeah I think I read something like that. Why Spotify there are alternatives [18:03] susan_: 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 dots [18:03] SixThreeOh: /home/username/.gnome2 [18:03] SixThreeOh, gconf-editor in a terminal and you can modify from there [18:03] susan_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinti /etc/apt/sources.list [18:04] ddilinger: that could be a better solution - does it scale *everything*? including graphics? [18:04] hy [18:04] susan_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list , ^typo [18:04] susan_: no, it scales the things X renders internally, like fonts, but not most of the things windows draw, like borders etc. [18:04] susan_: thing is i'm not sure how to change it on your sys, that machine has the XBMCLive distribution on it [18:04] 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 :P [18:05] susan_: right ok [18:05] ddilinger: hm - i'll look into it [18:05] how can i reset my sources.list? [18:05] Hi, I just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 and all is well except one weird thing: in all my browsers I cannot click on the "fullscreen" button when I am looking at a video. Or rather, I can click, and it goes fulls screen, but the video freezes while the audio plays on. How can I fix that? Thanks! [18:06] elfonia: if you didn't edit by hand, sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ~/sources.list.d.backup/ [18:06] susan_: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cybolic/ppa [18:06] elfonia: and make the backup dir first :) [18:06] thanks ddilinger. i didnt edit, i only installed ubuntu-tweak [18:07] thank the Lord for "ALT+CTRL+F1" and thank the guy who showed it to me coupla weeks ago [18:07] elfonia: i havn't used ubuntu-tweak, but most things add an aditional file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory to inform apt of more packages [18:07] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/9WNVg9bZ [18:07] err. more repositories [18:07] rce"c [18:07] gNewPower: yeah stuff like that can happen in Firefox with Flash in Ubuntu. also interesting IRC nick, since theres gNewSense a distro based on Ubuntu from the Free Software Foundation, Free Software Only [18:07] gNewPower: anyway I think omgubuntu had a fix for your issue === h4x is now known as worm [18:08] can i delete lines that contain ubuntu-tweak? [18:08] elfonia: which file? [18:08] dasEi: does that look okay to you? i'll try once more [18:08] thanks for all your help guys, so far [18:08] sources.list [18:08] sebsebseb, do you have an URL for the omgubuntu fix? [18:09] and there is a folder that name is ubuntu-tweak [18:09] elfonia: if it actually edited sources.list, you may want to find a fresh copy, hard to say if it just added lines or changed prior line [18:09] elfonia: any chance the tweak program left an unmodified backup in the same dir? [18:10] hmm, i decided to find a fresh copy :) [18:10] How can I get GDM to start when my laptop resumes from suspend? [18:10] susan_: not there, we can try manually, by the way, no partner repos and no newest wine ? [18:10] Don't worry I fixed it [18:10] Right now it goes to the terminal. [18:10] is there a maverick kernel backport for lucid somewhere? === moon is now known as Guest54583 [18:10] (maverick) [18:10] i dont use ubuntu-tweak. i installed it because it seems sweet :) [18:11] hi i need help with sound on my ubuntu [18:11] How do you change the keyboard shortcut for "Run Application". Currently alt + f2 [18:11] elfonia: yea, happens :) sometimes the tweak utils arnt all that great, but i've never used that one so hard to say === xx is now known as Guest42872 [18:11] DasEi: is that wrong? should i have partner repos and the latest wine installed? i'm pretty sure everything is updated in the update manager -i'll check [18:11] Len: go ahead and post a detailed question [18:11] im trying to connect to an ftp with a # in the password but i keep getting bad port number..how can i get around that [18:12] hello, I have a question: how can set a global alias? I want to launch foo as foo --bar, in lets say... run dialig [18:12] thanks for informations ddilinger :) i'll look for a fresh source file. [18:12] nullp0inter: use a different ftp program, i use lftp, ncftp is not too bad [18:12] ddilinger: when I plug a headphone it goes mute. No sound at all [18:12] ddilinger: and the problem is not my headphone [18:12] DasEi: looks like i do have some updates - sorry. :P i'll just sort them out [18:12] Len: you might need to switch the audio from line-out to headphone [18:12] gNewPower: may have not been from that, I think actsually ActionParnship gave someone a link before for that issue. Well on another distro again :) and new user account as a result, so can't just go on old links. Can go into old bookmark files though, where there might be something for this, but if you Google you can probably find a fix. [18:12] susan_: that's not wrong, but your consideration, latest wine and other stuff not under cononcial, also see: [18:12] !medibuntu [18:12] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [18:12] gNewPower: thas ActionParsnip above, I did a typo [18:13] Len: pavucontrol application can switch where audio goes [18:13] sebsebseb, thanks for the pointer! === Guest54583 is now known as NomeTemporaneo [18:14] ddilinger: ncftp doesnt work either [18:14] ddilinger: Ok i'll install, but i don't know how to use it [18:14] DasEi: i copy pasted the line you gave me above (the cybolic ppa command), and i got the exact same 404 [18:14] susan_: and it seems packets are only there for lucid, not meerkat, though (own risk) can try it [18:15] hi [18:15] DasEi: so vineyard hasn't got anything specific for meerkat? okay, that would explain the 404 thing, right? [18:16] Len: its pretty straight forward, just run it and it has tabs for audio playing now [18:16] susan_: you could either try the lucid repo or try to compile it om meerkat [18:16] nullp0inter: are you quoting the password? [18:16] is there a package with libstdc++ source code for lucid? [18:17] nullp0inter: if you try and use # on the command line everything after it will be considered a quote [18:17] DasEi: i'll try the lucid repo then if that doesn't work i'll give compiling a go - i'm terrible at it, though. :P thanks for your help with this! [18:17] nullp0inter: s/quote/comment/ [18:17] DasEi: looked like the lucid repos worked - thanks :) :) [18:17] ddilinger: i tried using "xxxx" but it didnt work [18:18] nullp0inter: how about if you type the password from inside the ftp application? [18:18] susan_: want the wine/partner/medibuntu,, too ? [18:18] #music [18:18] nullp0inter: if it doesn't work from there, i would be tempted to say its the wrong password, but you'd know better on that respect :) [18:18] DasEi: if it'd help, yes please! [18:19] susan_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/515770/ [18:19] susan_: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [18:20] susan_: copy and paste the pastie at the end, save file, close [18:20] Streaming / Transcoding failed: FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder: MPEG AAC Audio.

[18:25] MitsuoDeshoDesho, put $HOME/bin in your PATH first, and put your own version of foo which runs /path/to/real/foo --bar "$@" there [18:25] DasEi, what is scratch on? [18:25] pie_time: could hinder connection [18:26] Can anyone link me any installation cd troubleshooting tips, please? [18:26] DasEi, could you tell me where?

[18:35] no need for a script :P [18:36] iceroot, because I don't want to spend another 5 hours downloading the iso ;) [18:36] atyz: if you want to kill all the users processes(perhaps the web server runs their html fcgi under the username, other possible things) [18:36] atyz: but if you want to kill all their processes and not just log them out, yes [18:37] Sanky_: have you looked in the ubuntu-forums and searched there with your hardware-name? maybe its a notebook or something like that you can search there [18:37] Sanky_: the live-session is also not working?

[18:55] cablop: that works, if i do it manually with the checkbox - but i really need the automatic feature [18:55] cablop: then you need to set the permissions and ownerships of the files/dirs same as you would on an internal drive.

[18:55] cablop: its the puel one [18:55] folivora: http://pastebin.com/mbRp7xyR [18:55] Chaos2358: depends on what he wants [18:55] cxo: in there you could do some magic to see if the directory changed, and notify nautilus(i dont know how) [18:56] <^banditoz^> unset comment on /boot/loader.conf [18:56] cablop: weird is the popup says "busy" concerning the usb devices, but they will mount with no problems if checked manually [18:56] Dr_Willis, i was under the impression the only way to write to an external in ubuntu is if it's fat [18:56] huizzzu: you can add the stick to a filter in the vbox main window [18:56] Chaos2358: you are confused. It can be any FS that ubuntu can use... [18:56] In My ubuntu, Microphone has a lot of noise [18:56] I don't know whay [18:56] Chaos2358: or ext2, or just about any filesystem not ntfs [18:56] In My ubuntu, Microphone has a lot of , I don't know wy??? [18:56] so when your vm is active and you plug the usb device then it redirects to the vm [18:56] Chaos2358: You can even boot/run linux from a eternal usbhd. [18:56] Chaos2358: ntfs can be supported as well, but iirc write support is bad there [18:57] cablop: that is possible too - but my users bring in several hundreds of eer-a-changing sticks [18:57] ddilinger: ntfs-3g works quite well these days [18:57] huizzzu: so when your vm is active and you plug the usb device then it redirects to the vm, bypassing the host [18:57] In My ubuntu, Microphone has a lot of noise , I don't know wy??? [18:57] Dr_Willis: really? good stuff i'll have to wipe ntfs=broken from my memory :) [18:57] cablop: i thin it has sth to do with the now missin usbfs in 10.10 [18:57] Dr_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 fat32 [18:57] allu2: try: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop && sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [18:57] Chaos2358: depends on what your exact question was... [18:57] Chaos2358: if you want to exchange the external hard drive between windows and linux, the easiest way is fat32 [18:58] allu2: btw take backup 1st from your xorg.conf [18:58] <^banditoz^> lol [18:58] Linux dosent care what FS a external usb device is.. if its supported fs it can work. [18:58] cablop: no the usb device shows up in the host - and the guest dont notice it until is it manually "moounted" in there [18:58] hey guys, something reaaaaaaally weird just happened when i attempted to upgrade to maverick [18:58] Dr_Willis, ddilinger gotcha. [18:58] huizzzu: this would sound dirty, but... i think you can add the /media/ folder as a shared folder to the vm... [18:58] Chaos2358: but that has nothing to do with linux, and everything to do with windows :) [18:58] the monitor just turned off at some point during the upgrade === abhijit__ is now known as Guest56611 [18:58] could anyone tell me how to reenable ipv6 on ubuntu? i forgot how i disabled it. [18:58] so i waited awhile and checked htop to see if anything was running really [18:58] !ipv6 [18:58] cablop: this sounds really dirrty :) [18:58] For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [18:58] Dr_Willis, any ideas on why my amarok wont recognize any mp3's? [18:58] huizzzu: but it do the job XD [18:58] didnt't see much running so i did a sudo reboot [18:58] erUSUL, didthat already [18:59] Chaos2358: you need to install some of the restricted packages to make it recognise mp3's iirc [18:59] and now it's a little goofy, no gnome GUI just terminal [18:59] Chaos2358: you need to have the proper mp3 support libs and codecs packages installed. [18:59] pie_time: what you did? [18:59] and it shows the welcome message for 10.04.1 and 10.10 [18:59] wtf? [18:59] hi - seems like my libnotify is broken. a simple: notify-send Test "Hello World" ...outputs nothing. running 10.10 here [18:59] erUSUL, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [18:59] cablop: there is a software running in the vmwhich depends on finding a "wechseldatenträger/removable device" [18:59] hi, i really need help installing/setting up the ASUS USB-N13 wireless USB. i've tried guides on the forums with no luck. any help would be amazing. [18:59] Chaos2358: i think this was covered in the kubuntu faq when i looked at it ages ago. [18:59] !mp3 [18:59] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [18:59] folivora: and then :) [18:59] Dr_Willis, is there a mp3 codec specifically for amarok? because i installed the mp3 codecs and they are recognized on everything else i use [18:59] pie_time: then undo it? [18:59] gdm ? [18:59] huizzzu: this software wont accept a simple folder [19:00] Hello, anyone willing to try and help me out with an overheating problem? [19:00] Chaos2358: proberly can install kubuntu-restricted-extras [19:00] erUSUL, that's what I undid [19:00] Dr_Willis: the problem is the following, i set in the disk permissions for the disk this way drwxrwxr-x... root root... but i'm part of root but can create directories! [19:00] Chaos2358: there may be. I dont use amarok. [19:00] cablop: ups i talk to myself :9 [19:00] Dr_Willis, gotcha thanks [19:00] cablop: you want a specific user to write to the disk? or all users? or what exactly? [19:00] pie_time, those methods weren't the methods i used to disable ipv6 [19:01] powertop lists, under P-States: 'Turbo Mode 100.0% [19:01] ' [19:01] hi, i really need help installing/setting up the ASUS USB-N13 wireless USB. i've tried guides on the forums with no luck. any help would be amazing. [19:01] it is for bacvkup purposes, so just a few members are allowed to write to it... i can manually sync the group ids in my computers to match same group [19:01] ezhangin: I had the welcome message for both too, it was leftover text in /etc/motd.tail here (unsure if it will be the same for you) [19:01] cablop: i tried "ln -s /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices /proc/bus/usb/devices" and an entry in th fstab... [19:01] Dr_Willis: it is for bacvkup purposes, so just a few members are allowed to write to it... i can manually sync the group ids in my computers to match same group [19:01] erUSUL, , those methods weren't the methods i used to disable ipv6 [19:01] trism: i can't start x either [19:02] i might just have to reinstall [19:02] ugh [19:02] cablop: you can make a directory for each user and chown it to be owned by the user. then they will ahve full access to that directory. Ive not messed with groups in ages... so not sure of other ways [19:02] pie_time: so what you used? do you remember anything you did? [19:02] odb|fidel: it is working correctly here, do you have a notification daemon running? (notify-osd) [19:02] When you only have 2 users like I do. :) i dont use groups much [19:02] huizzzu: mmm the filter works in a device id basis... so if users use different usb you can 't filter... another thing is to tell them to register the usb devices [19:03] trism: yes notify-osd is running [19:03] erUSUL, i edited some file with a bunch of values and "ipv6_disable_= true" or something along these lines was what i found in there [19:03] trism: somehow i think the notification is just not displayed [19:03] well... the first problem Dr_Willis is i can't create folders directly in the device... root group has write access... and i'm in that group... but... [19:03] cablop: they are aged and stubborn thats my problem. an empty filter did the job until ubuntu chenged away from usbfs to debugfs [19:03] http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/virtual-box-usb-automatisch-einbinden-mounten/#post-2651790 thats my problem [19:03] odb|fidel: do you get other notifications? [19:04] ah! i got it... you are filtering avery usb thing to vm... [19:04] Hey,a nyone willing to help me figure out why my core i7 is running in turbo mode 100% of the time? [19:04] well - right now i dont ;) [19:04] i think you can manually install usbfs... [19:04] pie_time: /etc/sysctl.conf ? [19:04] folivora: still had the problem [19:04] folivora: i try upgrade my packages, there seems to be new version of udev [19:05] huizzzu: in my opinion, as long as you are using the host as a server of the vm... you must keep it in 10.04 instead of using 10.10... you can keep the system up to date via ppa's [19:05] cablop: cool idea - didnt know it is software [19:05] Hi, any boudy know how i can transform my Ubuntu desktop to Netbook edition? [19:05] odb|fidel: would try restarting notify-osd (or logging out/back in), if it actually got them, you could also check ~/.cache/notify-osd.log to see [19:05] alexander_: install the ubuntu-netbook package normally. there may be other package names for the 10.10 now however. [19:05] erUSUL, i think that was it. let me try restarting [19:05] cablop: hm harm has already been done i upgraded all 10.04 machines [19:05] trism: it worked weeks before yes - so right now i am wondering how to get it workingg - as in displaying something at all - again [19:06] hi, i really need help installing/setting up the ASUS USB-N13 wireless USB. i've tried guides on the forums with no luck. any help would be amazing. [19:06] trism: any ideas where to start? [19:06] alexander_: and remember to set gdm to use Ubuntu Netbook [19:06] huizzzu: you can check it this way, run a live CD install vbox on it, load your vm and test [19:06] grr maverick [19:06] tnx [19:06] fatal error no screen? that's new [19:06] Anyone know if the audio-cd problem is being fixed anytime soon? After upgrading to 10.10 I can no longer play (or rip) audio cd's. That _kinda_ sucks. [19:07] cablop: no way to additionally install usbfs on 10.10? [19:07] ezhangin: no screen ? [19:07] huizzzu: i mean to not to mes 10.10... test first and see if the usbfs is the issue [19:07] allu2: that's what it says [19:07] can't start x [19:07] <^banditoz^> daniel [19:07] Fata server error: [19:07] no screens found [19:08] cablop: okay thx [19:08] ezhangin: ah, i got problem with no screen, but as my laptops screen doesn't start :P [19:08] i think i broke my upgrade to maverick [19:08] ezhangin: try moving /etc/X11/xorg.conf out of the way [19:08] ezhangin: dont delete it, just rename it to a backup [19:08] well... i still wonder why if my removable media has root group write access... i can't write [19:09] cablop: mounted read only? mount -o remount,rw /path/to/drive [19:09] odb|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-monitor [19:09] ddilinger: mounted automatically, is it a removable media [19:09] * is it [19:09] cablop: that mount command works on any filesystem [19:09] odb|fidel: but my guess is it is just something wrong with notify-osd, don't know what though, maybe check ~/.xsession-errors to see if you get any messages [19:10] yeah i'm just going to reinstall [19:10] ddilinger, How would you "watch" an environment variable without polling it? [19:10] ugh [19:10] cxo: you have to poll it [19:10] http://eugeneciurana.com/pastebin/pastebin.php?show=43458 i dont know why this hangs [19:10] dmesg | grep rt3 [19:10] ls /etc/Wireless/RT3070STA [19:10] opps. [19:10] cxo: PROMPT_COMMAND isn't run continuously anyways, just before displaying a new prompt [19:11] cxo, what's the scenario where you want to "watch" an environment variable, anyhow? [19:11] ddilinger, I dont understand what that is. Is that a signal? [19:11] trism: thanks - lets see what i can find [19:11] <^banditoz^> YIIIIHAAAAAAAAAA [19:11] nDuff: hes trying to notify nautilus that he changed directories in the shell sub-window [19:11] cxo: its just an environment variable [19:11] ahh. [19:11] cxo: whatever the contents of that variable is run as a command before displaying a rprompt [19:12] Is there a *nix tool that can take two files and tell me if there are any lines that appear in both? Kind of like a reverse diff [19:12] nDuff, https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus-elementary/+bug/662837 [19:12] <^banditoz^> HELLO [19:12] ddilinger, There must be a way to trap the fork() call from bash [19:12] cxo, no fork is involved in cd [19:13] oh yes, stupid me [19:13] cxo, though you _could_ strace -e chdir if you really _really_ wanted to [19:13] I'd have to patch bash or LD_PRELOAD something to hijack whatever bash calls for \cd [19:13] Is there any way to (a) disable the ssh key passphrase prompt that appears on login (b) require that the passphrase be entered each time rather than "remembering" it for the rest of the session? [19:13] cxo, it's a syscall [19:13] Anyone available to try and help me figure out why the hell my core i7 is always running on turbo mode so my cores are sitting at 85C? [19:13] cxo: sounds like the kind of thing that will be working in the next weeks round of Naut-Elem. updates. :0 [19:14] ddilinger: i'll try to write with root user and tell what happensa === fearless is now known as Guest684 [19:14] cablop: writing with root user wont make a difference if its mounted read only [19:14] cxo, ...by the way, if you're going to be polling, you could also poll /proc/PID/cwd [19:14] ahoj [19:14] Dr_Willis, an LD_PRELOAD hack would be child's play but, its a hack :) [19:14] anyone here good with wireless drivers? i'm having massive problems with ASUS USB-N13 wireless usb [19:14] * nDuff wonders if /proc/PID/cwd gives off inotify events === marc is now known as Guest45175 [19:14] Ryalnos: high load? top will tell you [19:14] cablop: does it make sense to wait until virtualbox s fitted to the new ubuntu 10.10 in the usbfs/debugfs topic? [19:14] ddilinger: if i can write with root then it is not read-only :P and i can write with root [19:15] cxo, ...using inotify to watch /proc/PID/cwd wouldn't be a hack, _if_ proc actually supports it... [19:15] cablop: your problem earlier was you couldnt write with root? [19:15] ahoj, muze mi nekdo poradit pro po me chce ubuntu pri kazdem loginu odemknuti klicenky na heslo k wifi? zn. linux lama [19:15] cxo: given how rapidly that things being devloped.. i wouldent be suprised if its fixed in a matter of days.. or perhaps in the brz/code allready [19:15] erUSUL, that worked. thanks. :) [19:15] huizzzu: maybe... but check that first... maybe it is a bug in latest vbox... [19:15] nDuff, hmm thats an interesting idea [19:15] If I read powertop correctly, under P-states it lists 'Turbo Mode: 100%' [19:15] pie_time: no problem [19:15] Dr_Willis: are they moving rapidly now? nautilus has been out for many years [19:15] ddilinger: my problem is i can't write with a root group user [19:15] but root group has w permission enabled [19:15] ddilinger: we are talking about nautilus Elementary [19:16] http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/nautilus-elementary-ppa-update-brings.html === Calinou_ is now known as Calinou [19:17] i can create files with touch but not folders!!! this isw stupid!

[19:17] now i can [19:17] :( [19:17] cablop: thats not what touch is designed for. the making of files is actually a secondary feature I belive. its actual purpose is to set the date of a file to the current date/time. (i seem to recall that) [19:17] Ubuntu 10.04: Where can I find a IEEE 802.11n-compliant driver for RT2870 chipset ? (D-Link USB-Adapter) [19:18] cant recall ever using touch for a directory... [19:18] whelp if no one can help, can anyone answer why there are always so many wake/suspend issues? [19:18] Typh: because the mb/bios makers all have their own standards and wok arounds to their own bugs [19:18] Dr_Willis: yes i know, but if file does not exist it is created [19:18] cablop: i would love to see how you managed to create a dir with touch ... [19:18] Typh: i have hibernate/suspend issues in windows all the time also.

Because 10.10 awful freezing for me [19:31] Somelauw: it is a bug in speech dispatcher and/or the way python loads documentation.

Anyway sounds ilke you will need to clean install really [21:10] mrb__ thank you thank you thank you it seems to have started [21:10] icek: goodie! :) [21:10] Xaifas: it's copying all your ram to swap, or vice versa. That's not exactly the fastest. I find the boot is faster than hibernate usually, but it is handy to have all your open apps come back with the hibernate [21:10] icek: now good luck! And don't crash company networks :P [21:10] killoo: not much can be done, with an upgrade that has gone wrong, useually [21:11] killoo: may be a possible hardware issue though, how old is the computer? [21:11] fresh install means a lot of work, because i've installed many programs [21:11] the computer is rather new. acer aspire 1810tz [21:11] !clone | killoo [21:11] killoo: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [21:11] killoo: ok thats probably not it then [21:12] killoo: may be some issue, with the upgrade going wrong, or the version of Ubuntu. === root is now known as Guest29070 [21:12] Urr hai guys [21:12] im new here [21:12] hello, anyone has any experience with multitouch enabling under Ubuntu 10.10? thanks [21:12] Guest29070: uhmm [21:13] OK... I'll try this question another way... How can I see what processes are accessing the internet ? [21:13] Guest29070: don't use root on IRC, security risk [21:13] could someone link me to a good tutorial/guide to issri [21:13] i want to create a backup system such that 2 windows systems load a program at boot that backups new/mod files to a network hard drive or some sort of network device.. basically a no-brainer for the windows users.. and the network device would be ubuntu and samba.. doable? [21:13] irssi [21:13] even [21:13] yeah i know [21:13] root [21:13] how do i edit the "places" shortcuts? For some reason I have two links to my home folder on it.

[21:15] nothingspecial: thanks [21:15] itsux2bu: either way, the synchronization would be offline folder/folder redirection in windows. [21:15] woo, finally got suspend working! Ubuntu I love you again. [21:15] hj [21:15] xhci I am angry with you >( [21:16] sebsebseb: but why this complete freeze? this seems to be a kernel or a xorg bug? [21:16] mrb__, not sure i understand [21:16] hello :P [21:16] i know what SCSI is [21:16] killoo: try Live CD for 10.10 I guess [21:16] iSCSI ? [21:16] itsux2bu: Vista/Windows 7 has a nice feature called "Folder redirection" which means you can assign a "local" folder to have store files and replicate them to a network file share.. [21:17] ok that's a good idea for testing [21:17] killoo: the kernel and xorg are probably fine really, just something to do with that version of Ubuntu [21:17] itsux2bu: oh that.. iSCSI is just another way of sharing a harddrive over the network. samba emulates windows environment, iSCSI just presents a harddrive to a computer which you then can do whatever you want with it, as if it was a local harddrive. [21:17] killoo: and how it does hardware support or something === iConfused_ is now known as iConfused [21:17] killoo: distros don't all do hardware support exactly the same by the way [21:18] whatever gets written to the local folder gets written to a network folder? [21:18] killoo: some are better than others, and then yeah differnet versions of a distro are differnet as well [21:18] itsux2bu: yes, with Windows 7 it will be proactively, and Windows XP, Vista it will be during logoff/logon/schedule/etc. [21:19] itsux2bu: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc778976%28WS.10%29.aspx [21:19] it explains what folder redirection is [21:19] and does [21:20] ok.. i have 1 xp home and one vista ult. [21:20] evening [21:20] ok.. [21:20] sebsebseb: yes, but the older version 10.04 runs without any problems on the notebook. only problem, as always, is the network manager with 3g modems [21:20] killoo: yes, but [21:20] killoo: thas what I was saying as well, versiosn are differnet [21:20] killoo: sometimes hardware works fine in a previous version, but does not in a later [21:21] itsux2bu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folder_redirection [21:21] http://eugeneciurana.com/pastebin/pastebin.php?show=43459 i cnt get it to work === magnetron is now known as horrible [21:21] aaaaanyway.... off I go! nite nite [21:21] that shouldn't occur, but it can't be avoided. but a daily complete freeze shouldn't occur with a stable version === horrible is now known as magnetron [21:22] * jackie89 waves. "Hiya again" [21:22] killoo: 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. [21:23] I 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] xxx [21:23] killoo: however a complete freeze is odd [21:23] killoo: thats one thing hardware not working after an upgrade to a later version, thats another a complete system freeze [21:23] another issue i have: my background doesn't update, and seems to be the login screen background currently? [21:24] polska [21:24] Does anybody know how to set up an already-installed microphone in a Linux Ubuntu Dell laptop? It's a mini 12, and it doesn't seem to recognize that it has a mic. [21:24] never had that before. older versions with problems always had at least working magic key sequences [21:24] killoo: so two reasons I guess. either the distro doesn't like that hardware, or your hardware is failing [21:24] how do you even run .run files [21:24] no i think the hardware is ok.

[21:33] Sanky_, they may be "official" drivers, but they may not work with the specific version of the X Window system, and Linux kernel shipped with this distribution of Ubuntu. So yes, the official drivers may not work at all. I'm not saying they are virus, just that they may be binary incompatible. [21:34] liam: rar works for me (10.04) [21:34] vocx, yeah, I see [21:34] liam: its in universe [21:34] liam: err multiverse [21:34] linuxeh: sorry I don't know what that is? [21:35] lucent, thanks [21:35] Hey guys I've got an issue i cant figure out. when ever i close the screen on my laptop I get an error saying "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode Your screen, graphics card, and input devices could not be detected correctly. 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] liam, 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 > Administration [21:35] liam: I just did apt-get install rar on 10.04, and it fetched rar from the multiverse repository [21:36] Chaos2358: not an ati card is it ? [21:36] no nvidia [21:36] Chaos2358: is your computer suspending when you close the laptop lid? [21:36] it's common with ati, not seen it when nvidia, [21:36] ikonia i've been looking for you for days by the way [21:36] Chaos2358: I know, if you join the other channel we'll fix that [21:36] lucent, no i have it set to blank screen [21:36] ikonia ok thanx [21:36] vocx: ok thanks the search found unrar-free [21:36] part [21:37] linuxeh: ok thank you [21:37] Ack, sorry about that... For some reason my mouse suddenly stops working. But i changed my ethernet connection to lo. [21:37] need help on maverick 10.10 [21:37] so any ideas about my low graphics mode error? [21:37] with switcheroo [21:37] I cant login via ssh anymore... can anybody tell me what this weird error means: http://hpaste.org/40687/ssh ? [21:37] good evening! [21:38] But does anybody know how to set up a built-in microphone on a Dell mini 12 laptop with linux ubuntu as the system? [21:38] i'm novice [21:38] liam, 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] vocx: ok thanks at this point I just need uncompress [21:39] vocx: 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? [21:40] ikonia so do you know of a fix for the graphics error? [21:40] #ayuda_internet [21:41] Chaos2358: not for the nvidia issue, the ati one is a known problem with suspend/hibernate, no known fix yet [21:41] Chaos2358: What kind of GPU do you have? --> lspci | grep VGA in a console [21:41] liam, 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- [21:42] Is 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] minimec, see privet message [21:42] Well, the solution posted on the forums makes it freeze during boot. Not sure if that's better or worse. [21:42] i have an i5 with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M. when i run startx i get: Fatal server error: no screens found. i went in the bios and disabled gpu switching (so discrete only) and it works fine. using the proprietary nvidia drivers. any help on getting x to cooperate? [21:42] hello [21:43] hi, I'm having problems with ubuntu 10.10, /etc/locale.alias doesnt work anymore [21:43] Chaos2358: Ok. THis is really strange as you got a normal Intel 945GM .This should run out of the box. What version of Ubuntu do you use? [21:43] anyone know how to submit patches for a given package? [21:43] minimec, 10.04 [21:43] liam, it seems there are three different packages: "unrar-free", "unrar", and "rar". The first one is free, the other two are non-free. I have installed the first two, the decompressors. [21:44] hello can you use a wireless pcmia card with u-lite [21:44] how to receive TV by tuner ? [21:44] Is there any irc client better than xchat fr ubuntu 10.10? I can't seem to auto complete nick names when typing a reply [21:45] Hi anyone have transfer rate issue with Ubuntu and external USB drive ??? I'm getting ridiculous speed like 800kb/s instead of the 15MB/s.... the only way i'm able to get a bit more speed is to run sync after every transfer.... also just did a distro-upgrade to 10.4 [21:45] JMehring: i use pidgin [21:45] Chaos2358: Ok. That looks intresting http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1484137 [21:45] liam, 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] JMehring: irssi :) [21:45] ugh if I was running pentesting on my web application and obviousally it found a hole and broke the phpmyadmin setup, it is forced an error and says check the logs. Would removing and reinstalling phpmyadmin correct the problem? [21:45] minimec, going to read it now [21:45] I mean i also use mysql workbench on my Doze machines and that is able to connect, and all the tables i checked seem to be fine it is just the phpmyadmin tables that are causing problems [21:45] vocx: ahh ok thanks that must be the prob [21:46] Is 10.10 a beta?

[22:08] Master front? [22:09] what is the best way to send and receive sms's with my built in data card (t-mobile dell mini 10). [22:11] grr i hate this crackling sound then (un)muting Front speaker === argonaut_ is now known as argonaut === themill_ is now known as themill [22:11] My default ubuntu install does a fs check every 20 mounts. Problem is that this scan takes about 2 hours for 400GB. Why does it take so long? Previous installations of Linux used to take between 5 and 10 minutes for 300GB ? [22:12] ghostknife: that does seem slow. Is there something wrong with the drive? [22:12] ghostknife, that seems excessive! Anyway, I have read that there are some issues with ext4, in case you are using that. I still use ext3, and checking my 80 GB drive doesn't take more than 3 minutes. === rrittenhouse_ is now known as rrittenhouse [22:13] cfedde: no. drive is fine [22:13] vocx: yes, ext4. which issues are these? or do you have a link I can check out? [22:14] Hi all, I have a folder (created by 10.04) on a Windows 7 NTFS drive, I upgraded to 10.10, and now the folder is showing as a file [22:14] the scan starts and is very fast up till 74%. then upwards the rest is extremely slow increments up till 100% [22:15] ghostknife, 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] spofer: what kind of folder? [22:15] I 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] cfedde, sorry but what kinds are there? [22:15] kind of folder? that does sound interesting [22:15] Well. Right now, I must reinstall the drivers every time I boot. :| [22:16] spofer: 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] !netsplit === Tonus_ is now known as Tonus === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB === irvy is now known as irv [22:16] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit === Xjs-moonshine is now known as Xjs|moonshine [22:16] spofer: so you were logged into ubuntu, and created a folder on an NTFS filesystem? [22:17] cfedde, oh sorry. I mounted the Windows7 disk through the Places top-menu and created the folder [22:17] ghostknife, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/ReleaseNotes in the section "File Systems and Disk Device Setup" or just search for "ext4" [22:17] ghostknife, yes [22:17] spofer: and now you installed 10.10 and the same folder is showing up as a file? [22:18] ghostknife, exactly. Although (I'm not sure if that is important) I booted into Windows 7 today [22:18] spofer: is possible that some meta data got corrupted. how does it show up in windows? [22:18] can anyone recommend a good IDE for the flex sdk? I used flash develop on windows, but it only runs as a sandbox i think on Linux [22:18] ghostknife, I'm not sure. I'll need to boot into 7. Is there something i can do first? [22:19] FunkyDude: what is your definition of good? does it need GUI design support? [22:19] Ubuntu 10.04: Does this OS supports IEEE 802.11n ? [22:19] spofer, I regularly mount a NTFS in Linux, and read and write info to it, with no problems. My advice is to boot 7 and see, then come back to Ubuntu and see. These glitches may fix themselves. [22:20] toyman61, if your wireless card does it should [22:20] vocx, ok thanks [22:20] Cya in a bit [22:20] hey guys how do i report a bug in launchpad? [22:20] ghostknife: good = fast, my computer i'm on doesnt have much resources, just something to write actionscript (but maybe better than gedit) [22:20] WhiteDawn: 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] FunkyDude: you can try IntelliJ [22:20] eh maybe i should just use gedit [22:21] FunkyDude: also, FlexBuilder 3 had Linux support. not too bad performance [22:21] italiano? [22:21] toyman61, type 'iwconfig' in terminal it will list the modes of your wireless device [22:21] toyman61, 54 Mbps is 11g, and it may be a problem with the driver, not the OS. [22:21] FunkyDude: 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 formatting [22:21] FunkyDude: 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] toyman61, there may be no wireless n drivers for that chip yet [22:22] cool thanks, i'll try it [22:22] Does anyone know how to find out the BT Address of a Bluetooth adapter on Ubuntu?

Commercial, but definitely the best on the market through-and-through [22:23] FunkyDude: download the trial and try it. by far the leading IDE for flex/flash development [22:23] WhiteDawn: The newest drivers from RaLink set 802.11n as a parameter in the config files. But that might not be true.. [22:23] cucù!

[22:26] onryo, tunnel [22:27] vocx no the screen goes blank but i have the low graphics mode error pop up when i reopen it [22:27] shcherbak I was told to use Tor so I got it now. [22:27] works fine with firefox [22:27] Chaos2358, and you lose control of the mouse, keyboard too? You only have the message of low-graphics, or also the resolution changes? === awful is now known as LjL [22:28] but I cant find where I should enter the info in X-chat in ubuntu [22:28] no [22:28] vocx i still have control of everything but whatever i was working on before i closed it is lost and i have bad resolution [22:28] onryo, I ment ssh to home pc and use this one to irc (or get free shell account) [22:28] i have a spare pc and i want to run a server on it [22:28] meesebyte: ask the channel, i only know how to do that in the old grub [22:29] slam 3leeekm [22:29] george_: what kind of server do you want?

[22:29] Ubuntu server [22:29] shcherbak but yeah ssh -X would be nice [22:30] Chaos2358, by "lost" you mean the programs close, and you have just your background as if you have restarted it? Also, can you change the resolution back? [22:30] onryo, Settings/Preferences/Network/Network Setup [22:30] i had the problem a few days ago and a gentleman in here was trying to help me "fix" it but only made matters worse so i did a clean install and it still happens [22:30] on unbuntu, where should i extract the flexsdk folder to? [22:31] they dont have that in ubuntu...nuts. Its called X-chat-gnome [22:31] vocx lost as in just the background like i rebooted and no i cant change the resolution back it gives me the same error when i try [22:31] so I tried socat TCP4-LISTEN:5000,fork SOCKS4A:localhost:irc.oftc.net:6667,socksport=9050 [22:31] Maybe I got it working. Not sure???? [22:32] onryo, there's standard xchat without gnome mods [22:32] sudo apt-get install xchat [22:32] Chaos2358, so after reopening, you basically have a unusable environment, and you need to reboot to get things back to normal. [22:32] yapsol I think I just do that [22:32] is there a way to make it such that my computer always has a certain string in the clipboard when being booted? [22:33] I'm using empathy for IRC. it seems to auto-scroll to the newest messages, disrupting me from reading the logs. Can I change that somehow? [22:33] you mean like local.rc? [22:33] alpha: I'm sure there is, I'm not sure if it would require programming. Why? [22:33] vocx it isnt totally unusable but surelly not normal. [22:33] bfarrow: thanks, worked like a charm.

[23:06] ikonia, no, there is a file with the foldername instead of a folder.... [23:07] need a forced network lag program for ubuntu can anyone help? [23:07] carkie: you want lag? is this for testing? [23:07] hello, has anyone tried the e17 version that is in the repository? just wanted to know if it was good enough to use or is it better to go the SVN route? [23:07] Looking for help with udev rules re: Logitech Marble Mouse USB. Google has a ton of answers but a bunch of confusion surrounding it. [23:07] aeon-ltd: yes [23:07] Hey guys. I have a problem with gnome-terminal, vim and screen. Here's a picture of the color different in vim when it's run in screen and in the gnome-terminal. Of course, i dont want this different. I have installed the ncurses-term package. I currently "defbce on" and "term screen-256color-bce" in my .screenrc and "set t_Co=256" in my .vimrc. If i remove the "set t_Co=256" from my .vimrc, gnome-terminal uses, what looks like defa [23:07] so what i have to do contractely ? Jordan_U [23:08] dmccray: the repos will always be more stable than svn or testing (99% of the time) === Riku is now known as Guest97441 [23:09] carkie: if this is a website there is network strain testing tools, but i'm not sure there is a program that can precisly 'control' the ping of incoming requests (unless they were fake requests) === tommo is now known as Tommo === Guest97441 is now known as GanonKiller [23:10] i need help finding driver for my GPS Card..... [23:10] *drivers [23:11] i need to force some files created in a folder or device to be owned by an specific user:group [23:11] aeon-ltd: need program for testing as host for my games, as host gets advantage so needs balanced some way to see what happens [23:11] cablop: look at setuid/setgid [23:11] Any idea why one /join #mangler [23:11] sorry [23:12] ikonia: mmm i was thinking in them, but they also set permissions on executables placed there to be run as those user:group [23:12] cablop: yes, setuid and setgid [23:12] cablop: oooh, I see you don't want it on executable [23:12] cablop, use the command "chown user:group" ikonia eeeh, why not chown, am I missing something? [23:12] any 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 it [23:12] cablop: [23:13] aqw: uninstall indicator-messages [23:13] vocx, i want for it to be automated [23:13] vocx: he said creates owned byt those users/groups, not changed [23:13] carkie: 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 out [23:14] ikonia: it sems that for directories setgid is enough :) but... well, setuid won't work in linux [23:14] aeon-ltd: there is a program called fnlag which can delete packets and delay packets to hosts, looking for free version for ubuntu [23:14] cablop: it will [23:15] ikonia: i'm googling and says that only freebsd do [23:15] es [23:15] carkie: but wouldn't that just stack onto the existing ping? thus not making it any fairer at all? [23:15] cablop: I have setuid set on multiple files here [23:15] let me try :) [23:15] Hello! 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] i cannot find the drivers for my ETAK GPS Card ET-GPS1 for Meerkat [23:16] etheretic1: i think compact view in nautilus does it [23:16] cablop: panel, not filer (na.). [23:17] aeon-ltd: the host always gets a slight advantage so i want to use the program to delay the host [23:17] ah, sorry got confused [23:17] etheretic1, I don't think so. Perhaps there is a way, but wouldn't know. Seems a little hard-wired. [23:18] aeon-ltd: i have a program for windows but not stable enough for my server [23:18] yes, gnome nowadays is carrying that simplicity thing tooooooooo far.... and it's disgusting [23:18] bluetooth and sound icons grab enough space for 4-5 programs. [23:18] carkie: sorry to have wasted some of your time but i don't know any, however considering this is a general linux query there are thouasands of users across freenode to ask [23:18] hey! Is there a way I can open all the same windows on restart? 10.04 [23:19] etheretic1: i had to reduce panel size from 24 to 20 on my netbook in the mean time... also want to know how to reduce same space [23:19] Im 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-ltd: k thnx for ur time :) [23:19] So, at present my gdm resolution is different from my desktop resolution on my desktop. (Laptop defaults to same resolution for both) How would I go about correcting that? [23:19] cablop: it persists irrespective of scaling. [23:20] etheretic1: yup, but my other icons became smaller XD === etheretic1 is now known as etheret1c [23:20] trism, I uninstalled "indicator-messages" but mail icon is still there... [23:20] Or perhaps stated more clearly, how do I go about setting the default screen resolution for 10.04 so that both GDM and Gnome see it? [23:20] Isn't this an easy question?? Is there a way I can automatically open all the same windows and tabs on restart? 10.04 [23:20] good afternoon all [23:21] tripelb: It may be, but whoever knows isn't awake or in here. Give it time. [23:21] tripelb: system > preferences > startup apps, there should be a option [23:21] I'm having an issue with Chromium not starting after upgrade to maverick [23:21] OK will come back.. ok aeon-ltd I'll look.

Kyle__ exactly. In ystem > preferences > startup apps > Options It's the only option. Everything else possible is checked. TY! [23:24] in ubuntu, is there a way to benchmark / stress test your HD? [23:24] can someone pls tell me whts wrong with my torrent [23:24] george... try resetting peers & bans [23:24] Hey guys. I have a problem with gnome-terminal, vim and screen. Here's a picture of the color different in vim when it's run in screen and in the gnome-terminal. Of course, i dont want this different. I have installed the ncurses-term package.

[23:24] okay thanx [23:24] just marked and applied for reinstalation on chromium [23:25] sille777: dont just reinstall.... mark for complete removal [23:25] ok... [23:25] momentum: just out of curiousity, why? performance is limited by bandwidth and its spin, its not like you can 'overclock' a hdd [23:25] /sbin/lilo [23:25] sille777, run chormium from the command line once it's installed. That should spit some errors in case in crashes. === Putr is now known as Putr|Away [23:26] how do I move NetworkManager applet? [23:26] momentum: i mean finding out average read andd writes is good, but a stress test? [23:26] how do I move NetworkManager applet in the panel? [23:26] im disliking 10.10 so much [23:26] llac: right click [23:26] llac: it's part of the notification area. [23:26] how do i do that from the command line....still a bit of noob to the comand line [23:27] !who | sille777 [23:27] llac: also make sure to unlock the panel [23:27] sille777: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:27] just did the complete removal [23:27] aeon-ltd, etheret1c: right click, but I didn't see the move command! [23:27] llac: untick lock. [23:28] sille777.... just type chromium in the terminal [23:28] will locate not index files on removable devices? [23:28] etheret1c: I didn't see lock either! It's very strange [23:28] etheret1c: It's not like the other applet [23:29] GanonKiller: I'm now reinstalling after removal [23:29] will locate not index files on removable devices? [23:29] NM, figured it out. Had to edit the init file for GDM [23:29] llac: on free space on the panel, not on the applet [23:29] * etheret1c notes that gui filers haven't changed notably since they were introduced by xerox over 35 years ago. [23:29] llac: right-click the applet... & unkey the lock applet [23:29] I am having major lag issues with my graphics driver or with xorg, before I upgarded my screen would blink, flicker, or just chop off. But now its just lags and doesn't do anything until I move the mouse. How can can I fix this? [23:29] meh [23:30] Diverdude, 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] vocx, why is locate not reliable? [23:30] GanonKiller : chromium command not found [23:30] what is the difference between chmod g+s and g+S or u+x and u+X? [23:30] sille777... ok hold on [23:31] hi i was just wondering on how to turn an old Desktop into a server? [23:31] how do I remove the keyboard layout icon from the notification area? [23:31] Diverdude, 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] install ubuntu server merma¿ [23:31] are 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] * sille777 is holding on [23:31] xangua, mm i don't want to [23:31] sille: type 'chromium-browser' in terminal [23:31] hi i was just wondering on how to turn an old Desktop into a server? private message me [23:31] 5-6 1-TB drives. [23:31] vocx, but find is so much slower than locate because it has to search the whole ahrddisk each time i invoke it [23:32] vocx, locate is much faster becauser it indexes the files [23:32] merma: you want a server but you don't want a server¿ [23:32] GanonKiller: Attempting to load the system libmoon [23:32] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [23:32] xangua, i think that's tech_ [23:32] mmm sorry, that was to tech_ [23:32] pardon? [23:32] I right click on free space on panel, and get: add to the panel, properties, delete this panel, new panel, help, and about!!! [23:33] install ubuntu server tech_ [23:33] ok link? [23:33] ubuntu.com [23:33] thanks then were abouts is it on the page? [23:33] just under the boot download? [23:33] when right click on NetworkManager applet, I didn't see move or clock command [23:33] http://www.ubuntu.com/server [23:33] thanks dea [23:34] how do I remove the keyboard layout icon from the notification area? [23:34] Diverdude, yes, but as I said, I don't know if locate will in fact index all your files. It's not very clear. Who updates the database? Is it a cron job? Daily? I don't know. [23:34] merma [23:35] left clik [23:35] right click the icon and then click remove [23:35] llac: u et control over the not. area by right-clicking on the "ribs" leftmost in the area. [23:35] I have a strange problem... when I try to write to one of my SATA disks it freezes all access to the disk, I kill Samba, unmount/remount, then I can see things again. I can read from it just fine... but after writting 26.7 MB it fails to write again.... I can read gigabytes just can't write on the specific HDD. [23:35] ikonia: the setuid does not work :( [23:35] ikonia: but the setgid works, and thatś enough by now [23:35] vocx, i see...what is cron? [23:35] tech_, theres no context menu [23:36] hey guys, the 10.10 version of netbook ubuntu seems to freeze at random times.. mostly when videos are involved... how do i check some sorta hang error log to find out what is going on ... [23:36] its a entire system hang and must be hard shutdown to resolve.. but if suond is playing etc it gets stuck in a loop untill i hold the netbooks power button and turn it off the hard way [23:36] Diverdude, 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] cpt_Zyph does it smooth out after a few seconds? [23:37] anyone help me with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1600222 [23:37] zombiej nope [23:37] GanonKiller Attempting to load the system libmoon Segmentation fault (core dumped) [23:37] zombiej i left it runing for over 15 min [23:37] i have ubuntu 10.10 installed. my laptop (sony vaio cw) has an nvidia card. but the latest version fo the driver doesn't work, so i used the 256.53 driver. however, i can't control the laptop screen brightness [23:37] using either the Fn keys, or smartdimmer [23:37] Cpt_Zyph: install htop, then try to move to a pure tty and run it, you can test if it is an issue related to CPU, RAM, SWAP...
