Some time ago a root kit had been installed on my ubuntu server [00:27] bloodriver, oh sorry, use ncr at the end [00:27] Matr|x: All the programs that runs on start up should be on /etc/rc.local [00:27] thx [00:27] djanatan: it doesn't...

[00:29] dabblego: 2:1.0.6-1 is the version in lucid repositories however [00:29] mobasher: you have to have 1 panel on your system [00:29] Yes. [00:29] i think we are being trolled [00:29] Matr|x: But when the system is compromised, you don't have a choice but to reinstall. [00:29] bloodriver, nice :) [00:29] ActionParsnip=>> i have the top panel..just don't want the bottom one [00:29] Thank you nrc [00:29] Matr|x: Anything that gets root access to your system wins.

I see in the help that i should remove xserver-xorg-nouveau before installing the nvidia drivers. Is this correct? do i have to do it from the command-line? (without xorg launched) [00:35] hi guys [00:36] libet: Yea [00:36] hi. my gnome is all screwed up after an update. 10.04 [00:36] xmad: would just blacklisting the nouveau module achieve the same effect? [00:36] it looks like windows 95 now lol [00:36] i've put a new script in /etc/init.d what do i do to get it to run @ boot? just create a symlink to it in rc3.d? [00:36] libet: From the command line, I think it should work with xorg open, but just to be sure kill it before.

[00:37] libet: Not sure, probably, if you reconfigure xorg using the nvidia drivers [00:37] xmad: but I think when you install nvidia drivers it will conflict with the open drivers [00:37] lol [00:37] libet: but I think when you install nvidia drivers it will conflict with the open drivers [00:37] libet: At least that happens with ATI =) [00:38] It shouldnt if the module is not loaded, but better just remove it then.

[00:43] using ubuntu 10.04 on a lenovo idepad s12 netbook with fluxbox instead of gnome. will a change of display manager (=login manager?) from gdm to xdm/lxdm/... increase my perfromace after login? or will a display manager be turned off after i logged in? [00:43] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/516526/ [00:43] Goldline: sudo apt-get install g++ [00:43] so there is no way to tell ubuntu to router the internet traffic to the wifi [00:44] thx you so much all [00:44] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [00:44] g++ : Depends: g++-4.4 (>= 4.4.3-1) but it is not going to be installed [00:44] E: Broken packages [00:44] after typing in the install command [00:44] because everytime i open a browser it comes blank which means its using traffic from eth0 [00:45] but i dont want to renstall my ubuntu [00:45] :(:{ [00:45] Benkinooby: ?DM will still be running, so if GDM is too heavyweight for you, something like XDM will be OK. Or, you can disable the login manager completely. Exactly how is left as an exercise for the reader. May want to look into startx script. [00:45] Too bad, Matr|x [00:45] You allowed your system to get compromised, this is the only way to fix it [00:45] but is i disable eth0 and open the browser it opens internet connection to anywhere [00:45] ph0n7r1c, there is a file called ip4_forward maybe this helps. you have to set it to "1" [00:45] ph0n7r1c, there is a check box in NM edit connections ipv4 settings that you can click to make it not the default route. [00:46] Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have [00:46] requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable [00:46] distribution that some required packages have not yet been created [00:46] or been moved out of Incoming.

[00:47] Is it possible to start my webcam without the light coming on? [00:47] anyone know why i keep getting a hash sum mismatch on updates? [00:47] Matr|x: How come you got that bot on the first place? [00:47] jimi_: Open it up and disconnect the light. ;) [00:47] ectospasm, when diableing it i will have the command line log in. i thought startx comes after the manager and therefor has no power over it. may man startxenlighten me ;) [00:47] xmad, just let it go.. [00:47] forgot a space, sorry [00:48] im running this command in a script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/516531/ [00:48] befor i had so meny time here on this room was so helpfull [00:48] I'm curious [00:48] djanatan, i didnt know if there was a software way, i still want the camera to work [00:48] nevermind then [00:48] nikola [00:48] jimi_: I'm sure turning on the light is handled by the camera itself [00:48] why u do that ? [00:48] Benkinooby: you can run startx from the CLI, and it will start X for you === alexk is now known as Guest27331 [00:48] why do you have to reinstall , matrix? [00:48] Matr|x, you already got the best advice also this time [00:48] Benkinooby: not as pretty as a login manager, but it should work. [00:49] I'm trying ot install 10.10, but I keep getting "bootloader install failed" [00:49] Will I run into problems if I run updates on apt-get, synaptic, and aptitude, as opposed to sticking with just one?

[00:50] thats all [00:50] Goldline, install java with Ubuntu software center [00:50] Matr|x: Sounds like you were running as root while playing Counter Strike, [00:50] That would be a perfect example of why you should NOT run as root. [00:50] no not rot [00:50] root [00:50] TeslaTony: No. [00:51] Then it shouldn't be able to change anything outside of your home directory.

I have an OV518+ camera and as far as my team knows, the hardware (which is closed to us) is sufficiently powered. The main issue is that the pictures taken by the camera have thick vertical lines so that you can't see anything. it is getting an image but it is not handling [01:03] it correctly. The OV519 driver claims support but...yeah [01:05] lekamiile, maybe the hardware is broken. the vertical lines are suspicious [01:05] I guess you never know when cool things happens. [01:05] BenkiNooby, JordanU: lucview sees the camera but does not return any information about it [01:05] lekamiile: Could you upload an example image? [01:05] !screenshot | lekamiile [01:05] lekamiile: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem?

Do you know what I'm doing wrong? [02:09] GanonKiller: was that for me? [02:10] tacomaster: or just 'user-access' as ubuntu uses sudo :] [02:10] joshmc: no reason i asked is because i want to make a backup on a e-harddrive [02:11] I can't get my Ubuntu to work. [02:11] Zeip: what install are you using? [02:11] tacomaster: fair enough. But if someone connects the backup drive to another machine then maybe they'd be able to access it. [02:11] is der any problem for changing a user to root by setting his group as 0? [02:11] joshmc: ok what i needed to know ty [02:11] rohith: yes, mainly there's no point. Just read ubottu's link [02:12] !root | rohith [02:12] rohith: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

[02:16] Spaztic_One, 10.10 has more integration with ubuntuone, and more desktop bling, and some internals freshened up [02:16] rohith: just read ubottu's link, I'm not going to bother telling everyone to go read it. If you care about understanding what you are doing, read the link [02:16] jrib, su - opens the shell pretty much as it would be when logging in, instead of recycling your environment variables (which sudo -i probably does – or does it?) [02:17] ZeiP: sudo -i sanitizes the environment [02:17] is it possible to update "Ubuntu Software Centre" in │ [02:17] │10.04 to new one in 10.10? [02:17] Spaztic_One, 10.10 has uglier white theme tho, i had to install radiance files form 10.04 :P [02:17] jrib, mmh, ok, then it might work [02:17] jrib, thanks, didn't know that [02:17] ZeiP: "The -i (simulate initial login) option runs the shell ..." [02:17] jrib, ok [02:18] So, does anyone know what I could do to find out why this is happening: "E: mono-gac: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 9" [02:18] rooks: Does it still have the "ambiance" theme? [02:19] ZeiP: are you using repositories not meant for your ubuntu version or packages outside of the repositories? [02:19] jrib, no, I just upgraded and I think that removed all extra repos [02:19] Spaztic_One, it has, on wikipedia theres screenshot i think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:UbuntuMaverickDesktop.png [02:20] i am using ubuntu 10.04, when i open a flash video (youtube for instance) in firefox, the sound stutters, how can i fix this? [02:20] jrib, I'm not sure about the packages outside repos though... Is there a way to find them? [02:20] ZeiP: well add "set -x" as the second line of /var/lib/dpkg/info/mono-gac.postinst and you'll get more explicit information about why it fails. Also check bugs.ubuntu.com [02:20] nixbox: using 64bit¿ [02:20] any linux web client that supports MS Exchange 2007? OWA is useless in Evolution... [02:20] rooks: Ah, yes, thank you. [02:20] nixbox: install earcandy [02:21] jrib, nice, thanks, I'll try that [02:21] Spaztic_One, 10.10 also has ubuntu font as new default, but i wasnt that happy with it, however some people like it, so i guess its a matter of personal preference [02:22] Spaztic_One, youre welcome :) [02:22] GanonKiller: what is that for? [02:22] I like the ubuntu font [02:22] xangua: no, 32-bit [02:22] can I use the ubuntu font in windows 7? [02:22] spaztic_one: there is a way to install windows fint on linux [02:22] johnjohn: yes [02:23] johnjohn101, i think so [02:23] can you remove a liveCD mid-use? [02:23] to burn a disk? [02:23] johnjohn101, http://font.ubuntu.com/ [02:24] UnderSampled:mrehemuhurg, maybe? Could be an awesome experiment [02:25] need to change permissions on my USB thumb drive. "read-only file system" . chmod in terminal? [02:25] rooks, thanks [02:25] UnderSampled:why not use something like puppy or dsl with a burning program? those go can at least go straight to ram to free up the CD drive [02:25] jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/516566/ << that's what it printed, any ideas? [02:25] UnderSampled, not on ubuntu you can't - it won't let you anyhow. With some of the small linux live CD's that run in ram you can. [02:26] ZeiP: I'd start with: debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable [02:27] ZeiP: but I don't know anything about mono if those mono errors persist after you resolve debconf being in use === arooni-mobile___ is now known as 50UAAUMA6 [02:42] Negiko, good luck! [02:42] Spaztic_One, cat /proc/cpuinfo will give you information about the processor. you should also see the clock speed, most laptops underclock for you. [02:42] kk ty [02:42] thanks for the help! [02:42] no prob [02:42] dang netsplit [02:42] I have tried using the default player and VLC with no luck, I have the Blazing Saddles 30th Anniversary Special Edition DVD and it isn't wanting to play...any ideas? [02:42] HarbingerX, what does it do...? [02:42] harbinger.... did you install all of VLC [02:42] !netsplit [02:42] 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.

[02:43] Hello all. I have been dealing with a problem with the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS release. The ALSA drivers refuse to cooperate with the Conexxant CX20585 sound card. Headphones do not mute internal speakers. Please help. [02:43] harbinger.... did you install all of VLC?? [02:43] tagren: check all sound settings [02:44] I installed VLC using apt-get so I think so....but it doesn't explain why movie player fails [02:44] GanonKiller: Already have. I have tried many of the solutions posed on the forums and ubuntu documents [02:44] None have worked. [02:44] movie player fails with "An error occurred: could not read from resource." [02:44] Hi, i had configured my ubuntu 10.04 server to run as dhcp server, and when i start it, it runs with no problem and "echo $?" is 0, but it is not listing to port 67 and when i issue "netstat" command it is not available , any idea what the problem might be? [02:44] in ubuntu 10.10.. alsa required to have all sections installed [02:45] extremely n00b question... can anyone link me somewhere they show full specs for ubuntu 10.10 to function properly? [02:45] español [02:45] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/ReleaseNotes#System%20Requirements [02:45] WI s4squ4tch [02:45] somehow that link doesn't seem to give it all [02:45] harbingerX: you are missing some plugins [02:45] deokanon, what would you like to know precisely? We can tell you whether or not your system will work fine. [02:47] Hey can anyone help me out with an ubuntu 10.04 start-up problem? [02:47] just regular stuff entertainment (video, music), very light programming, [02:47] iv'e seems to have lost my usb support [02:47] *seem [02:47] umm, a little home networking [02:47] !ask | riles [02:47] riles: 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. :-) [02:47] deokanon, So you want to know if Ubuntu can do that? [02:47] just normal stuff [02:47] yes [02:47] :D [02:47] ok. sorry it's my first time =) [02:48] deokanon, yes, Ubuntu can handle all of that. Quite easily. [02:48] will it install all plugins if I do sudo apt-get vlc-plugins-* [02:48] I need help with playing flash videos in firefox. Sometimes they take a looong time before the black screen goes away and gives the video, and usually they only buffer like 5 seconds of video, and have trouble getting more after that. [02:48] riles, no worries buddy. Welcome to the chat. [02:48] does Ubuntu 10.10 come with GTK preinstalled? [02:48] the thing is i have an old laptop... i don't have a problem with ubuntu itself... but i'm not sure if my laptop can hehehe [02:48] IsmAvatar: Frankly, Firefox is just a slow browser. At everything. [02:49] ayuda en español [02:49] can handle reverend* [02:49] !es | phillipe [02:49] phillipe: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[02:49] !es | phillipe [02:49] djanatan: I'm pretty sure I screwed up something somewhere, because I have 3 other computers which don't have this problem. [02:49] deokanon, I use Linux for - everything. Gaming is the only thing that Linux is even remotely poor at, as most game developers choose to keep their games closed source and locked behind the damnable .exe format, tho wine can get around most of that. [02:49] deokanon, what kind? [02:49] yeah, firefox bites [02:49] Gannonkiller just installed all the plugins and still doing the same thing [02:49] deokanon: What are the specs on the laptop? Perhaps Ubuntu is the wrong distribution, but there is a Linux distro for everything. [02:49] firefox is fast for me [02:49] stat up hangs, the last line is [02:49] init: ureadahead-order main process (946 terminated with status 4 [02:49] deokanon, does your laptop have at least 2.6 gigs on it's HDD? [02:49] reverend ruff... i am ashamed to tell you this... Latitude d610 [02:49] is the klingon language added to ubuntu klingon edition? [02:50] dany.. no [02:50] deokanon: How much RAM? [02:50] GanonKiller rather...I installed plugins, restarted VLC and it still starts then stops when trying a DVD (just tried Iron Man 2 and Blazing Saddles with same effect) [02:50] 1ram, 500 virtual [02:50] 1gb ram [02:50] 500mb virtual [02:51] are the repos slow as heck or is it just me? [02:51] riles, that's very unlikely to be the problem [02:51] deokanon, the laptop I'm on has less than all that and it runs fine. [02:51] HarbingerX, do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? [02:51] GanonKiller it lagged out. [02:51] arrrghhh not that I know of [02:51] is there anything I should be looking for? [02:51] also 60 gigs of space [02:51] riles, it means that there are filesystem being mounted at startup that aren't required to boot [02:51] deokanon, I have 40 gigs on the hdd, 400 mb ram, like 500 mhz processor speed. Ubuntu runs smoooooth. [02:51] HarbingerX, you need that to play restricted formats like dvds :D [02:51] wow [02:51] deokanon: Try the LiveCD. The liveCD is slower and requires more RAM for the same tasks, so if it works there it will work even better if you decide to install :) [02:51] I LOVE UBUNTU [02:52] deokanon, who doesn't??? [02:52] riles, you can make it be more verbose... hold shift on the bootup, when you see the menu press e to edit and remove the "quiet splash" word in the linux... line. Then you might seee something useful [02:52] hi guys. can set some special bit or so, so that the user owns a directory but can not change its permissions, so not create any files in there? [02:52] Linux, by design, is at home on low-powered, low-performance machines because it knows how to multitask and handle processes SANELY [02:52] thanks I'll try that [02:52] swim: My laptop has a 40GB hard drive. Economic elitism much? [02:53] I'll be back in a few [02:53] djanatan, is this a game? i have a desktop with a 540mb hdd. [02:53] i was just being parandoid i guess... i've been using windows too much... so yeah i got think about compatibility stuff [02:53] deokanon, I have 40 gigs on the hdd, 400 mb ram, like 500 mhz processor speed. Ubuntu runs smoooooth. <--- really? What did you do? It isn't very smooth on a simlar PC I have [02:53] brb [02:53] arrrghhh: No, I'm talking about my main machine, we're not playing an antique computers game [02:53] yeah, i've got a desktop runnin' 10.10 with like 60gs hdd [02:53] swim: I think you misunderstood. That was in response to "I love Ubuntu". [02:54] Nitsuga, i will tell you when i come back. Nature calls, you know... [02:54] djanatan, lol in that case 20gb :P [02:54] anyone?

[03:01] blakkheim: IllKid =? [03:01] kreign, why not use a usb flash drive [03:01] kreign: The standard iso is not network bootable, but there is a general netboot iso for Ubuntu (which can be used to install netbook remix). [03:02] Omanza: yeah, is there something bad about it or..? [03:02] blakkheim: Yes. [03:02] Reverend_Ruff, lol... I never understood who's the one that decides to pre-install Vista on a PC with less than 1GB of RAM... I've seen that many times... and just doesn't work...

[03:07] not right i mean [03:07] i created the folder "My functions" in the /home/myuser directory and add it to the PATH variable.

[03:10] holding shift didn't give me any more information [03:10] I can't get my printer to be recognized/visible on our home LAN.. it's a Laserjet IIIp, connected to my ubuntu box.. it's shared and enabled.. yet, my [03:10] adz2mobile, wht about this http://pastie.org/pastes/1234393/text [03:10] wife's laptop can't 'see' this printer.. to allow her to add and print to it.. why? [03:10] Anyone anything about privacy policy [03:10] wrong channel woops [03:10] swim, synaptics there are linux synaptics drivers for touch screens, but the fingerprint reader might be more of an issue. [03:10] Jordan_U: I never get to a grub screen so I can't figure out how to get onto it [03:10] I sacrificed the fingerprint reader on my old computer to use Linux. Seemed like a good trade. [03:10] Jordan_U, yes... If it's installed correctly, it doesn't matter where it is [03:10] I'm thinking that it may be a windows partition that I changed from fat32 to NTFS that's being mounted at startup [03:11] Reverend_Ruff: lol [03:11] ericenns_: How many hard drives do you have? [03:11] rohith, =P [03:11] oracle: me gusta [03:11] Jordan_U: I have 2 drives [03:11] i've had it for just a little bit, it doesn't take me long before with any computer before i get tired of windows and grow balls to install a tuxbox.. [03:11] Nitsuga: Unless it's on a removable drive :) [03:11] oracle: md5 rsa3 [03:11] sorry md6 [03:11] not 5 [03:11] ericenns_: Have you tried changing the boot order to boot from the other drive? [03:11] Jordan_U, It works too. I have GRUB on a removable drive to troubleshoot installations [03:12] adz2mobile, i just want to know if my system has been compromisd [03:12] Anyone seen ilovefairuz? [03:12] Jordan_U I do that then It complains because the disks Id's change [03:12] swim, when I look to buy a computer that's my first think I check - how easily will converting it to Linux be? Does it use a lot of intel drivers? Will it need custom drivers? Does it have features I will need to sacrifice? If I can't turn it into a Linux machine within 24 hours or so it isn't worth the money. [03:12] Nitsuga: I know, but it's a problem if you want to be able to boot your computer without a USB stick in it :) [03:12] checking [03:12] riles, you remid me to House MD patients... having a clue about what's happening but not telling so. Change your /etc/fstab and remove the windows line [03:12] oracle: is that your log ? [03:12] ericenns_: What "complains"? What is the exact error you see? [03:12] \nick [03:12] adz2mobile, yes. thats a part of my log [03:12] I get grub error 22 === rohith is now known as hitman47 [03:13] Installed ubuntu and no wireless networks appear! How do I connect? [03:13] Jordan_U, yes... you boot, and then sudo grub-install /dev/sda [03:13] yah I'm going to try that next [03:13] blakkheim: nvm it is working ^_^ its not bad [03:13] Unless I'm getting a machine I want to be a challenge, like the one I am on. I am actually using Arch now because there's a lot of custom work I am doing to sharpen my skillz. [03:13] ericenns_: That's from an older install of GRUB. [03:13] I'll take that as a complement by the way =) [03:13] ericenns_: Not from the one 10.10 installed. [03:13] I having problem when I login remote desktop that I see the changes on the server but not on the remote computer. Any ideas? [03:13] oracle: Su looks no good [03:13] Nitsuga: I know, that's why I suggested that to him at the start. [03:13] Please help meeeee.... [03:13] oracle: where is root fs [03:14] riles, great.. because I didn't want to be agressive [03:14] Jordan_U: I'm not using 10.10 I have an older system but I will try the web plags given [03:14] !ask | earthshade [03:14] earthshade: 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. :-) [03:14] Reverend_Ruff: I did [03:14] Okay. [03:14] Jordan_U, ohh I got it... too much scrolling.. I miss part of the conversation.. sorry [03:14] Hi [03:14] Installed ubuntu and no wireless networks appear! How do I connect? [03:15] ericenns_: What version of Ubuntu did you install? You don't need to use older versions of Ubuntu for older hardware. [03:15] earthshade, ok, first of all check the kill switch [03:15] riles, I must go... Its late here... good luck! [03:15] Reverend_Ruff: How? [03:15] Nite Nitsuga! Sleep well [03:15] very limited functionality with empathy [03:15] earthshade, fancy button on your machine to turn the wireless anttena on and of [03:15] Jordan_U installed 9.0.4 I didn't like the performance of 10.10 [03:15] GanonKiller: It is a problem upstream with Alsa. I have tried all of the modules compatible with 36-25 Generic PAE. No sucess [03:15] is there a channel for qtcreator ? [03:15] Was wondering if someone could give me a hand im using Ubuntu 10.04 and I have installed a windows program in wine. But the problem is I cant uninstall the program using the wine Uninstaller, how can i remove wine programs that wont uninstall ? ive looked on the wine website but cant find a good answer :( [03:16] Reverend_Ruff i got such a good deal on it, i couldn't refuse... i administer to windows at work so i've got all the lincense keys i could ever want, i'm sure i'll eventually give it a shot with the thought that if all goes wrong, i can always throw 7 on it, the vista drivers apparently work for 7 on that model too [03:16] ericenns_: Have you tried lubuntu? [03:16] I need help to install adobe flask player, should I download the one for linux and how can I install it :) [03:16] !wireless | earthshade, also check System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers [03:16] Reverend_Ruff: The antenna is on. I am dual booting xp and ubuntu and it works in xp [03:16] swim, sounds good [03:16] flash* player [03:16] Jordan_U: I was using Xubuntu [03:16] !wireless | earthshade, also check System, Administration, Additional Drivers [03:16] earthshade, also check System, Administration, Additional Drivers: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:16] What is wireless [03:16] h00k: Ok one sec [03:16] yeah, your 24 hour rule is a 72 hour rule for me tho.. i really don't like playing with windows on my own computers.. [03:16] earthshade, let us know... [03:17] hello [03:17] where is my start menu [03:17] Any know why I can't see the change on my remote computer when I remote desktop in to my server but I can see it on the server? [03:17] anybody please ? How can i remove a wine program properly that wont uninstall using the wine uninstaller ? [03:17] Ok... Yeah im away from the compute so it'll be a minute Reverend_Ruff h00k [03:17] lost_soul what do you mean??? [03:17] swim, i was just teasing about the 24 hour thing. Linux is that much sweeter if I have to struggle to install it fully, so I like something with a bit of challenge, but I don't want to spend all my time fiddling with the OS, so I do have a limit before it gets old [03:17] lost soul: where are you trying to get to? [03:18] the start menu, I really can't explain further [03:18] lost_soul: To start applications you use the "Applications" menu at the top left of the screen. [03:18] Aer, find where you installed it and rm it. [03:18] lost soul: there is not really a start menu in linux [03:18] Ganonkiller and arrrghhh I was missing libdvdcss2 and associated files (didn't know about medibuntu repos needing added) [03:18] so their is no start menu? [03:18] so i can just delete the programs folder in the virtual C drive in program files Reverend_Ruff ? [03:18] lost_soul, Applications is out start menu [03:18] Aer, that is what I do [03:18] brb I'll let you know if that worked [03:18] harbinger: see there you go [03:18] I want to get to services, how do I do that [03:19] lost_soul, *our [03:19] will that remove it from the Wine Programs menu to ? === al__ is now known as al_nz1 [03:19] normally I go to start, control panel, administrative tools.... [03:19] Aer, if it does not, then you can right click the menu and select "Edit Menus", then just remove it via alacarte [03:19] h00k: System > administration> and what? [03:19] lost_soul, what are you looking for? Exactly? [03:19] ok, ill do it that way thanks :) [03:19] earthshade: Additional Drivers [03:19] Reverend_Ruff yeah, i should really walk my talk, i know i've spent more than 72 working out or configging a linux system or two... usually tho, this last release tho, it just picked everything right up, like it was made for me.. [03:19] services [03:19] Aer, always a pleasure [03:19] :) [03:20] h00k: Not there, but "hardware drivers" is there [03:20] lost_soul, I have not used Windows in over three years now. Can you be more specific? Services as in...? [03:20] Reverend_Ruff: Good morning Reverend Black Tongue [03:20] ganonkiller now if I could just figure out this sound issue I'm having lol [03:20] Reverend Black Tongue? [03:20] the sound was acting up for me too [03:20] earthshade: okay, on that version (10.04) or other, it would be that, yes [03:20] Ok [03:20] Reverend_Ruff: as in services that are running on the pc [03:21] lost soul: you mean processes? [03:21] swim, different people like different things. There's no "I'm a real *nixer because I do this or that", we all have our own things we like [03:21] h00k: Downloading package indexes failed... Please check your Internet connection [03:21] sorry, I am not all that educated to computers [03:21] what is a process [03:21] oh i just found a problem xD my left alt key does not work [03:21] lost_soul, they're our services - run ps -a [03:21] lost_soul: you might want to check out #ubuntu-beginners too, it's a good channel [03:21] but its ok :D [03:22] well not really [03:22] ganonkiller well my tower has rear audio jacks and front audio jacks....monitor is hooked to rear and have usb powered speaker hooked to front jack....want it to only play through front port but it is playing through speakers and monitor speaker [03:22] but we can pretend [03:22] lost_soul, terminology is slightly different here. =P [03:22] lost_soul: additionally, you can check out System -> Administration -> System Monitor [03:22] h00k: What do you think? [03:22] earthshade: can you plug that one online [03:22] Reverend_Ruff: apparently.. I typed that in but nothing happened [03:22] well you have sound... why change it? [03:22] h00k: Plug what one? [03:22] i g2g [03:23] i am getting tired [03:23] lost_soul, ps aux | less [03:23] earthshade: Can you plug that in to the internet initially to install the proprietary driver? [03:23] cause if it is playing through both, makes it hard to listen through a headset when wife dont' want to hear it lol [03:23] lost_soul, that will print every currently running process [03:23] Reverend_Ruff: done, nothing happened [03:23] please advise [03:24] srsly? Hey h00k, does ps aux need to be run as root on Ubuntu? [03:24] lost_soul your going to want to browse your system>administration and system>preferences for a while to get to know them.. then google up some questions and check ubuntu forums, it's great, you can get lots of detailed help there.. [03:24] h00k: My problem is that im NOT connected to the internet in the first place, so how can I download drivers? [03:24] Reverend_Ruff: nope [03:24] i need some help with QTcreator im a noob and im struggling on how to get my file location string from a fileDialogBox into my txtbox [03:24] http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Yi1SsFPN [03:24] lost_soul, you are typing that in a terminal window? [03:24] earthshade: you'd need to grab the drivers, depending on what card you have, do you know what wireless card you have? [03:24] can someone tell me what im doing wrong here please. [03:25] swim: thanks for that.... but so far nothing is working [03:25] Reverend_Ruff: no, I was tying it at my desktop, you never mentioned a terminal [03:25] im trying to pipe the output thats stored in the string called isofile, and put it into my txtbox on qtcreator, which is called isoTXT [03:25] Drop box help please in Mint Debian [03:25] !mint | Forest_Mint_Deb [03:25] Forest_Mint_Deb: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [03:25] what is a terminal [03:25] lost_soul, Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal [03:26] is there a QT creator channel ? [03:26] lost_soul, while in Linux, the shell prompt is your BEST FRIEND. Learn it. Love it [03:26] lost_soul, a terminal is like DOS [03:26] h00k: Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03) ... And how do i "grab" the drivers when the internet ISNT WORKING in the first place [03:26] z00m, try it and find out - /j #qtcreator === guest_ is now known as mdg2 [03:26] oh... DOS [03:26] Woot!! commenting out the partition line in fstab worked! =) [03:26] I love DOS [03:26] how can I watch my kid visiting web sites on local [03:26] lost_soul it's like dos and command prompt, only it tastes like lasagna [03:26] so I have a big black box... what next [03:27] lost_soul, ps aux | less [03:27] Reverend_Ruff, i removed my wine program the way you said but, the program still displays in the wine uninstaller, how can i remove it from here ? [03:27] Aer you may need to reboot before it reflects the change. [03:27] h00k: ? [03:27] lost_soul: Before you go any further it really would be helpfull to know what specifically you're trying to do. Like "I'm trying to start windows file sharing". [03:27] hmm ok, ill brb then and try it now, thanks :) [03:27] Aer, try uninstalling it, then rebooting [03:27] lots of output [03:27] ok [03:27] brb [03:27] Reverend_Ruff, there is one dude in there !!! LOL [03:27] Jordan_U, he's looking for running processes [03:28] z00m, cheers [03:28] lost_soul, =D [03:28] I want to tweak it [03:28] lost_soul are you trying to open a "task manager"? [03:28] like I did with XP [03:28] explain please [03:28] running processes ? [03:28] Wow this whole connection issue is making me hate ubuntu [03:28] anyone here who understands this file permission behaviror? http://pastie.org/1234426 [03:29] lost_soul, write down the Process ID, or PID, then use kill [03:29] lost_soul: Tweak *what*? What specifically do you want to accomplish, or do you have no concrete goal? [03:29] :o I have to kill every one of these [03:29] that is a shit load [03:29] lost_soul, no! Wait a moment while we explain [03:29] have you seen the list [03:29] how can i make my ubuntu to be visible to windows network on my local area [03:29] !language | lost_soul [03:29] lost_soul: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:29] how can i make my ubuntu to be visible to windows network on my local area [03:29] sorry [03:29] lost_soul, you do not need to cancel background processes like you did in Windows. [03:29] earthshade: I'm not familiar with that particular card, but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs does have a ton of information on that [03:30] earthshade: On Windows, you'd have the same issue if it didn't include your proprietary driver ;) [03:30] h00k: I found a solution on the site but it didn't work [03:30] lost_soul, Linux is designed to manage these processes much more effeciently than Windows. There is no need to "tweak" background processes - Linux automatically adjusts the workload to keep speed and effeciency in mind. [03:31] h00k: I completed all steps without error and revolted and everything was the same: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/mrv8k [03:31] lost_soul, You should only ever need to access that list to find a rogue program's PID and kill it. By rogue program, I mean something that is non responsive or that's bugging out. We don't get viruses [03:31] Reverend_Ruff: so what if I want to do load balencing? [03:31] Reverend_Ruff, it didnt work :( wine still thinks its installed [03:31] rweng, is that on a webserver ? i think sub.mydomain.com is your working dir which is www [03:31] i noob so i might be wrong.. [03:31] lost_soul: Though it doesn't address your question specifically I think you should read this article: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [03:32] ty Jordan_U [03:32] lost_soul: You're welcome. [03:32] lost_soul, you can tweak processes then, if you want, but it's really unecessary. Some people still like to defrag their fs - even though it's pointless on our ext filesystems. I guess it reminds them of windows? [03:32] any other ideas Reverend_Ruff on how I can remove this wine program ? :/ [03:32] earthshade: I am not sure, perhaps check the forums or someone else is familiar [03:32] Aer, not really? Try #wine [03:32] ok [03:32] thanks [03:32] Always a pleasure Aer [03:33] Reverend_Ruff, i try to join wine an di get this "You have been kicked from #wine by ChanServ (Invite only channel)" [03:33] Reverend_Ruff: if defragging is not needed what is fsck for? [03:33] h00k: Ok... *reboots into xp* [03:33] any idea how i can get in lol [03:33] I hear that somewhere once [03:33] need help with QT Creator [03:33] Aer, #winehq, my bad [03:33] lost_soul, to check filesystem stability and such - it doesn't defrag the filesystem. [03:34] ok thnaks Reverend_Ruff [03:34] !fsck | lost_soul [03:34] lost_soul: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [03:34] lost_soul, fsck runs after so many reboots, or after a critical system failure, to check for data loss, stability, etc. Thanks h00k [03:35] Reverend_Ruff: :) [03:35] off [03:35] when I looked prior, fsck looked like it was quite similiar to chkdsk [03:35] can someone explain the differences [03:35] Hello Abe... [03:36] lost_soul, essentially the same tool. chkdsk checks volumes for problems, data loss and/or corruption, etc. [03:36] Reverend_Ruff: and that is also what chkdsk does right [03:36] does Mark ever come in here? [03:37] can anyone tell me how i can send a variables string to a textbox in QTCreator this is my code ive got. The openfiledialog works but i need to check if the string variable holds the file name and path, thats why i need to send it to a textbox. [03:37] lost_soul, chkdsk and fsck are essentially the same tool, right. But chkdsk is proprietary for NTFS systems and fsck is open source [03:37] http://pastie.org/1234434 [03:38] wasn't chkdsk even there with FAT32? [03:38] I’ve been connecting to my computers at work with rdesktop, but I’m having issues with screen resolution. No matter what I set the resolution to (860×640 – 1280×960), I cannot see the taskbar on my connected computer. When I connect with the fullscreen option, I can see it. I want to be able to view the taskbar without having to connect using the fullscreen option… Any suggestions? [03:38] When using the option -g (may resolution = 860×480 – 1280×960) I cannot see the taskbar on the connected computer. If I do not use the -g option to specify the resolution, the default resolution is 860×480, but I can see the taskbar… [03:38] lost_soul, I do not know, but to be honest this is not the room for such discussion. This is an Ubuntu Support room. [03:38] I'm confused [03:38] lost_soul, you're welcome to ask both in #linux and in #windows [03:38] I understand that, I WANT to understand ubuntu [03:39] it just seems to complex [03:39] lost_soul, i think that might take a lifetime [03:39] lost_soul: basically, it's like checkdisk for linux [03:40] Raggs__, lost_soul it's not really so complex once you stop trying to apply your windows knowledge to Unix ideas. [03:40] a lifetime... so basically I should give up [03:40] lost_soul: 'course not :) [03:40] lost_soul, i have heard that slackware was the best linux for learning [03:40] would anyone happen to know how to resolve the question I posted... if not, that's alright [03:40] Raggs__, or LFS [03:41] Raggs__: I've heard reference to slackware... have you used it? [03:41] LFS? [03:41] Linux From Scratch [03:41] aka - program your own computer from the dirt up [03:41] building your own distro [03:41] lost_soul, it was wicked hard to get running right, kept having to edit files, never did get it working right [03:42] Seriously, if I am having this much trouble with ubunto... you promote LFS? [03:42] i am hoping this ubuntu thing will be easier for me [03:42] LOL NO! [03:42] Ubuntu is enough of a challenge for you, lost_soul. Slack and LFS later. [03:42] I have a question: I've been running Fedora 10+LTSP in our school and just installed a second server with Edubuntu (Ubuntu 10.10+ltsp). Both servers in same rack, same internet connectivity, etc. Installed FreeNX on both for remote access. For some reason the Ubuntu box's session is *much* slower than the Fedora box, even though it's on superior hardware. Desktop effects are off. Any... [03:42] ...recommendations please? [03:43] what's the command to run update manager and have it upgrade to newest stable? [03:43] I just wanna tweak the services ffs [03:43] ubuntu is realy easy [03:43] turning out to be a chore [03:43] Does anyone know of a way that I can get the 10.04 netbook-launcher on 10.10? I've installed the netbook-launcher-efl package, but it's fairly ugly by default and not at all easy to customize [03:43] lost_soul, but why? That's what we are trying to impress upon you. It's not necessary! [03:43] It is a fruitless waste of time [03:43] lost_soul: Please read the article I linked to. [03:43] heh... slackware was my first linux distro back in 1995.... I'm surprised it still exists tbh [03:44] I started on slackware and LFS, You do learn allot it all depends on how deep you feel the need to go [03:44] i dont know lost_soul i think i might have to go back to Windows, or get a mac [03:44] psusi, it'll be around forever primarily because it's the "original linux" in a lot of people's eyes, and it's the one "Linus made". [03:44] lost_soul: It covers a lot of the issues with moving from windows to linux. [03:44] Jordan_U: may I provide links as well [03:44] Raggs__, why? [03:44] Reverend_Ruff, Linus didn't make it? [03:45] some other guy did [03:45] dTheta=>> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [03:45] slack isn't original, and wasn't made by linus [03:45] hello how do replace 9.10 for 10.10 without losing my files? [03:45] this linux thing is so hard, i hated dos, and now linux is a system that is just like dos [03:45] tensorpudding, psusi I know that. But I have heard those arguments before [03:45] patrick volkerdink (sp?) made it [03:45] yeah i'm pretty sure slacka nd debian were both created at nearly the same time [03:45] slackware was the first " distro" meaning package sets [03:45] Raggs__: not close to OS [03:45] such as how ubuntu holds little market share incomparison to windows... or how it messes up 'debian' packages [03:45] what is debian btw [03:45] !debian [03:45] Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [03:46] before lsackware you had to "LFS" your linux [03:46] mobasher: I'm actually currently using the standard 10.10 Desktop interface on my netbook at the moment, but I very much liked the 10.04 netbook interface [03:46] eduardo=>> just backup stuff before upgrading [03:46] update-manager -d upgrades you to developmental, how to do this for latest stable? [03:46] mobasher: i cant [03:46] funny thing though... way back in '95 slack did have the old e2defrag package written by linus and ted tso that they abandoned not long after... debian and ubuntu finally got around to deleting it a few years ago... and now I've reincarnated it ;) [03:46] If youve decided to build LFS and or BLFS, The master will Help, ME... Let me know! [03:46] h00k is making me crack up. He's so wired on caffiene he's like white on rice when it comes to this. [03:46] debian is just a distro... what ubuntu and many other distros are based off of [03:46] lost_soul: This is a support channel so such articles wouldn't be appropriate. [03:46] good old ncurses ascii graphic disk map for the winz [03:46] I can't believe that the devs didn't retain the 10.04 netbook interface as an option on 10.10 [03:46] mobasher: i need an external hd which i lack [03:46] nullm0dem, that isnt totally true, i read somewhere that slackware was based on another linux [03:46] eduardo=>> eee [03:46] slack predated debian by a couple months, and by red hat by a half year or so [03:46] dTheta=>> so you want to downgrade ? [03:46] ah, so debian does all the development and ubuntu just cashes in on it since it's open source code? [03:47] lost_soul: no, that is certainly not the case. [03:47] lost_soul, lol, not really [03:47] Raggs__: Really! I always thought so [03:47] Ubuntu is based on Debian. Understatement. [03:47] mobasher: i tried to install from usb but it wants to partition it instead of upgading [03:47] mobasher: I would like the old interface back -- I would prefer to keep 10.10, because aside from the Unity debacle, I quite like a lot of the improvements [03:47] lost_soul: no [03:47] I don't think Ubuntu takes advantage of Debian. The groups have different mindsets though. [03:47] hello how do replace 9.10 for 10.10 without losing my files? [03:47] In the same light, Bill Gates invented the operating system and we all just cash in on his genius. (please no flames, I am making an obviously stupid joke) [03:47] mobasher: but Unity makes me want to vomit [03:47] dTheta=>> sorry buddy...don't think there is a way to downgrade..need a clean install otherwise from what i know [03:47] !ot [03:47] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:47] so ubuntu does develope? Might I ask what they've made? [03:48] lost_soul: though a large amount of the "infrastructure" was originally written for debian, there's a ton of stuff written specifically for ubuntu [03:48] what is a recommended client for torrent ? [03:48] lost_soul, Ubuntu [03:48] Hello gurus, i have a question, i m trying to install fluxbox in my ubuntu usb, i had downloaded and instaalled fluxbox, but as usb dont have logout option, how can i close gnome and run fluxbox in it?? [03:48] eduardo: update to 10.04, update then to 10.10 [03:48] lost_soul: this isnt on the topic of tech support, so its not on topic here. please go to #ubuntu-offtopi [03:48] *#ubuntu-offtopic [03:48] About the only thing Ubuntu shares with Debian anymore is the package database and the package management system APT [03:48] but everyone knows that Bill Gates built his system on the backs of other people, ibm, apple [03:48] ah, sorry maco [03:48] Reverend_Ruff: bill gates DID NOT invent the operatin system [03:48] Raggs__, unix [03:48] eduardo, umm.... yea... the install cd... installs... kinda what it does... upgrades are handled by the various package managers [03:48] I was merely asking a question [03:49] lost_soul: yes, just in the wrong place ;-) [03:49] eduardo, I stated I was making a stupid joke. Please read entire posts before responding [03:49] dTheta=>> lol [03:49] help................. [03:49] Hello gurus, i have a question, i m trying to install fluxbox in my ubuntu usb, i had downloaded and instaalled fluxbox, but as usb dont have logout option, how can i close gnome and run fluxbox in it?? [03:49] Reverend_Ruff, not quite... the majority of packages in Ubuntu are imported directly from debian... and the majority of those that aren't use the debian version as a starting point [03:49] psusi: yea but i just want 10.10 not 9.10 and 10.10 [03:49] so any offspin of debian... they should be commended with actually writing code even if they couldn't code to save their arse? [03:49] lost_soul, i think i read somewhere that Debian people dont care for the people at ubuntu [03:49] even though debian does all the work [03:50] lost_soul: please stop [03:50] !ot [03:50] eduardo, if you want to upgrade an existing install then open the update manager and click upgrade... the install disk is for... well... installing... not upgrading [03:50] lost_soul: you're still offtopic [03:50] lost_soul: wtf are you talking about? No one is claiming that the Ubuntu devs do coding themselves. [03:50] my bad [03:50] lol @ maco [03:50] Exploiter: Have you a Help ? [03:50] Please stop the offtopic conversation, view the /topic, and stick with it. [03:50] nop [03:50] Kethal, the devs dont do coding? [03:50] Debian is very elitist, Raggs__ [03:50] what was the offtopic channel [03:50] lost_soul: there is #debian if you want, this is a support, not a discuss channel [03:50] lost_soul: #ubuntu-offtopic [03:50] lost_soul; They maintain a distribution. The Debian people do the same thing. It's not like they programmed every package the include in Debian [03:50] Exploiter: This is master, noopslead [03:50] lost_soul, #ubuntu-offtopic [03:50] psusi: yeah but i have 9.10 and it gives me the option to upgrade to 10.04 and i want to skip that step [03:51] just want to know how to close gnone and get into getminal so that i can start fluxbox [03:51] oh, so conversation isn't allowed... just help [03:51] my bad [03:51] eduardo, you can't [03:51] lost_soul: exactly [03:51] Exploiter: GNOME ? [03:51] eduardo: you need to go to 10.04 inbetween [03:51] lost_soul, i think they want you to leave, they must be hiding something [03:51] Exploiter: log out. the login screen should offer it as a session [03:51] Is there a program to the reader, such as PDF files on the Kindle reader Amazon [03:51] maco: usb dont have login screen [03:51] eduardo, you either have to format and do a clean install of 10.10, or upgrade to 10.04 and then upgrade to 10.10 [03:51] Is there a graphical (preferably gtk) utility to find file duplicates? [03:51] Raggs__: no, we want lost_soul to either get on topic or take the general-chatter elsewhere [03:51] xen-on: you mean a PDF reader? [03:52] Raggs__: there *is* an option there [03:52] Exploiter: GNOME ROCKS!!! Its the best Desktop ive ever seen!!! [03:52] yes [03:52] Raggs__, we're derailing the chat horribly. They are simply asking you to move to a different room. Most of us are in Ubuntu-ot as well. I am. [03:52] psusi: but ive been able to upgrade with live cd before and now i cant [03:52] omanza: agree but i need minimal serivce to run in my usb [03:52] long live debian... THATS THE ONLY WAY UNBUNTU STANDS ANY CHANCE OF SURVIVAL... [03:52] Exploiter: you cant force it to do so by restarting gdm? :-/ [03:52] xen-on: it includes a PDF reader, yes [03:52] i thought this is where a question about ubuntu would get answered [03:52] omanza: i had insstalled fluxbox just dont no how to exit gone and run it on xserver [03:52] eduardo, no, you haven't... the livecd can only do a new install, it can not upgrade [03:52] Raggs__: tech support questions, yes [03:52] Raggs__, what is your question? [03:52] william_: kompare might work. Not gtk though. [03:52] Raggs__: lost_soul was not asking for technical support [03:53] Reverend_Ruff, i meant lost souls questions [03:53] is there a gtk equivalent? [03:53] Exploiter: Explain "i need minimal serivce to run in my usb", only morons will claim to have an answer to that. [03:53] or must i settle for qt or whatever [03:53] psusi: it gave me the option to replace the prvious partition with the new install [03:53] Raggs__: and by the way, debian and ubuntu have a fine relationship. the Debian Project Leader attended the last Ubuntu Developer Summit, and a dozen Ubuntu Developers attended the last DebConf [03:53] omanza: google for fluxbox [03:53] eduardo, yes, you can install a new system, replacing the old one [03:54] maco, I'd say all the Linux guys get along. We're all one big family. =P [03:54] Exploiter: I code fluxbox [03:54] i just tried the opera browser for ubuntu, i'm using 10.04.1 still, but i have to say it was alot faster than firefox, why such a noticable difference [03:54] maco, i was just pointing out what i had read === gilaniali_ is now known as gilaniali [03:54] http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=kompare+gtk [03:54] omanza: so you can tell me how can i run fluxbox, i cant it says x server is already taken by another >>> [03:54] !lmgtfy | Kethal [03:54] Kethal: 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. [03:54] psusi: no i cant it only gives me the option to have both instead of only 1 [03:54] h00k: Voice reader for PDF files === Adz2mobile is now known as ISATAP [03:54] eduardo, you need to choose manual partitioning [03:55] xen-on: okular with kttsd can read pdfs out loud [03:55] He asked if there's a gtk version of kompare. Seems he knows enough to use Google. [03:55] any suse fans [03:55] Exploiter: Yes, blow in the horn ;) [03:55] psusi: and thats wat i did [03:55] ISATAP: wrong channel? [03:55] maco: no [03:55] can anyone give me a simple answer to a simple problem? [03:55] even debian devs agree [03:55] Exploiter: sure [03:56] ISATAP: it's certainly not on topic in this channel [03:56] ISATAP: please see the /topic -- suse is not in any way related to ubuntu technial support [03:56] What would be the best way to check mp3 bitrate from Ubuntu Server 10.0.4? [03:56] I have several to check [03:56] psusi: ive used a cmd from terminal beffore it was something with devel release fo u know that cmd? [03:56] eduardo, then it shows you the partition you already have and you need to choose to use it for the root ( / ) and probably format it, though you don't HAVE to [03:56] just want to know how to close gnone and get into get terminal so that i can start fluxbox [03:56] Exploiter: sudo service gdm stop [03:57] Exploiter: if you just want to use something like startx.... [03:57] Exploiter: of alt+f1 [03:57] or [03:57] maco: fluxbox still giving error, xserver is busy [03:57] Exploiter: cntl+alt+backspace is a pretty drastic way to stop X [03:57] h00k=>> hehee [03:57] Exploiter: you can probably edit your .xsession file or something [03:57] for a more permanent solution [03:57] Kethal, recent releases have disabled that [03:57] ctrl+x ok thx [03:57] psusi: Really, why? [03:57] backspace :) [03:58] thank anyways, need a reboot [03:58] Kethal, in case someone hits it by accident [03:58] Exploiter: no [03:58] you don't [03:58] ? [03:58] its in my usb, chatting from my another linux [03:58] psusi: so the only way o upgraade to 10.10 without losing my files is upading to 10.04 then 10.10? [03:58] you don't need to reboot to restart x [03:58] oh ok [03:58] nisstyre65: i want to completely stop x related service, so that fluxbox can run [03:59] eduardo, no, you just need to use manual partitioning, and if you don't want to loose your files, don't check the format box [03:59] i will loggin back from ircii, thx anyways.. [03:59] Exploiter: all you need to do is edit your .xsession file or log out and use GDM to start fluxbox [03:59] h00k: Reading is activated upon whether it is needed for other programs to support reading [03:59] Exploiter: you can log out and start fluxbox from The gdm or kdm login screen under sessions [03:59] !info festival | xen-on [03:59] why when i look at the ubuntu site do i not see linux mentioned till i move to another page? and no mention of debian as well [03:59] xen-on: festival (source: festival): General multi-lingual speech synthesis system. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:2.0.95~beta-2ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 894 kB, installed size 2612 kB [04:00] psusi: and how do i know which is my ubuntu partition? [04:00] eduardo, how many partitions do you have? [04:00] eduardo, it is usually one with ext2, ext3, or ext4 [04:01] psusi: i have 5 partitions [04:01] Raggs__: there should be a debian link at the bottom. and you are STILL not asking tech support questions, so you are STILL off topic! [04:01] Raggs__: it is [04:01] ok, I just installed ubuntu, and now when I select windows 7 from the boot menu, it immediately reboots. [04:01] psusi: but my windows partition doesnt show up on the partition manager [04:01] eduardo, can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l in a terminal? [04:01] I NEED HELP....I want to use C# for building a website probably with asp.net.. is there any other way than .net studio as i dont have that and i need a studio for free that supports C# [04:01] Good Evening Folks, i have an issue installing, can anyone assist?

[04:15] Alexanderk_, formating drives is serious stuff, and i am not much of an expert, but i would suggest that you format the required drive to ext4 and then try to install ubuntu on it [04:15] nikola: alsamixer not found, though i did find alsamixergui in synaptic, installed it too, ill try restarting [04:15] unless you think that wont help [04:16] nikola, thank you i will try [04:16] using CLI how can I install a .deb file [04:16] multipass_: are you closing the lid on a laptop?

[04:19] cfedde: thanks === gnoobuntu is now known as gnubuntu [04:19] Balthazar, do you have a router? === gnubuntu is now known as gnoobuntu [04:19] Hey guys, why would linking with 32 bit zlib suddenly not work anymore? [04:19] Balthazar, also impossible, except if there was update running in background in Ubuntu [04:19] AbeSimpson[RIA]: yes. I have reset it a couple of times [04:20] "skipping incompatible //usr/lib/libz.so when searching for -lz" , although the lib is in /usr/lib32/ , even passing -L/usr/lib32 [04:20] nikola: PPoE? [04:20] Balthazar, it's unlikely the IP address and your speeds are related [04:20] Balthazar: WindomBlows: Heavy visonary drops windows... Ray Ozzie thingas windows blows [04:20] :( [04:20] I can't mount floppy device in ubuntu 10.04 lts can you help me ?

[04:21] point to point over ethernet, Balthazar [04:21] Balthazar, I am curious what IP are you referring to just so we are clear though. Is it a 192.168 address? [04:21] AbeSimpson[RIA]: no, external [04:21] nikola: Nominum est sactum ratlie et maskalaiem pequa ? [04:22] Omanza, i dont speek chineese [04:22] Balthazar, okay, that is weird. Ignore what I said about the IP and speed issues being unrelated. [04:22] nukola, that's latin.

My wired connection goes to the router, which is hooked into the modem. I get the same results whether hooked directly to the modem or via the router. Different IPs and different download speeds.

[04:27] AbeSimpson[RIA], because that is not happening, and he obviously doesnt know what he is talking about [04:27] h00k, plx don't eat meeeee...

[04:29] Balthazar, what is your external IP right now? [04:29] Callum__: Hold shift during boot. [04:29] decide what, Omanza? [04:29] AbeSimpson[RIA]: 24.255.200.36. In windows it is 68.103.168.193 [04:30] Balthazar, are you connected all the time to internet, or you need to go to Connect [04:30] Balthazar, what nikola said [04:30] nikola: connected at all times [04:30] Balthazar, this literally doesn't make sense. Are you sure? [04:30] then ip is not changing simply from going from os to OS [04:31] can I use nomodeset in the 10.10 install? [04:31] Balthazar, how are you obtaining your IP address? [04:31] when i type coffee into terminal, coffee appears in front of me. true story. [04:32] I just installed ubuntu 10.10 and when I open a window it causes the mouse to move automatically to someplace in that window, or a link inside of a web page and so on. How do I stop that from happening. [04:32] AbeSimpson[RIA]: nkola: Why do you think I am pulling my hair out??!! I can trace both IP address back to the right ISP and the right city, I am so confused [04:32] AbeSimpson[RIA]: whatismyip.com [04:32] anyone really know why the 10.04 version keeps losing the close, reset, etc options on the top left of the menu bar? [04:32] Balthazar, it could be possible you are looking at a cache version of the site on your Windows install. [04:32] opps top right [04:32] po [04:33] designerDuck: are you talking about netbook edition¿ [04:33] Balthazar, you should try that ipchicken site too. [04:33] hey would someone mind helping me with fdisk? specifically getting ubuntu to recgonize a newly installed HDD? === rfay_ is now known as rfay [04:33] AbeSimpson[RIA]: I hadn't thought of that. I haven't cleared my windows cache. Same result in ubuntu with ipchicken [04:33] ubuntu 10.04 on a laptop with networking. i have already disabled the auto open office utility [04:33] Balthazar, logging into your router should also show you your IP address, also. You can use this to confirm if you are indeed having this happen to you. [04:34] can I use nomodeset in the 10.10 install? [04:34] what is the advantage of moving from 10.04 to 10.10? [04:35] higher number [04:35] Balthazar, if your IP address literally changes looking at the router, I honestly don't know what to tell you. [04:35] designerDuck: newer version of programs [04:35] designerDuck: Updated Sound Menu, is an example [04:35] that is pretty basic i should have known that..thanks [04:36] D: new applications, meerkats and a prettified design. better errythin', mos'lie. it's a good Idea to update, designerDuck. [04:36] what i met is does the update to 10.10 need the fixes that i had to fix in 10.04? [04:37] does anyone have any idea why the mouse in UBuntu 10.10 would keep moving and auto selecting a window and how to turn it off? [04:37] stopMovingMouse, you had moved some setting for managing windows, and that is not enabled by default, you should go over the settings you changed in Preferences - Windows, or in Accessibility settings, maybe [04:37] AbeSimpson[RIA]: How would I find my IP address in my router settings? [04:37] hey would someone mind helping me with fdisk? specifically getting ubuntu to recgonize a newly installed HDD? [04:37] ninjamasks, info fdisk [04:38] fdisk -l shows nothing for me [04:38] AbeSimpson[RIA]: I have connection type Dynamic and three DNS addresses. [04:38] nikola looking [04:38] Balthazar, what brand router do you have? [04:38] sudo fdisk -l [04:38] Belkin [04:38] oscurochu: Gnome ALSA mixer [04:39] thank you. forgot about su [04:39] Balthazar, http://en-us-support.belkin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/502 [04:39] I didnt change any settings cause I just installed it..but it might have been some key combination I hit [04:40] stopMovingMouse, System - Preferences - Windows ----> uncheck Select widnows when the mouse moves over them === pjz_ is now known as pjz [04:40] Balthazar, just so you are aware, the IP address you find on whatismyip.com isn't assigned to your specific computer, it's assigned to your modem. [04:40] !networking [04:40] AbeSimpson[RIA]: Wow. that was dumb of me. It is the same as my ubuntu IP.I am going to boot into windows and check there. That still doesn't explain the slower download speeds though. [04:41] window preferences allows me to set it so if I mouse over a window the window is selected..but the issue that I am having is that when I open something, the mouse moves by itself centering on that item or a button in it. [04:41] Balthazar, no it doesn't. [04:42] Balthazar, while you reboot into Windows, rerun your speed test and then rerun them again when you are on Ubuntu. See if it's just a coincidence. [04:42] Balthazar: are you using wireless or ethernet? [04:42] AbeSimpson[RIA]: I knew that about the IP being assigned to the modem, not the computer. I just had my ISP increase my speed, and it works under windows but not ubuntu. That was the only difference I could see. [04:42] nullm0dem__: ethernet [04:42] Hi all [04:43] Balthazar: ah ok, Some wireless cards perform slower due to driver issues under linux [04:43] Balthazar, what nullm0dem__ said [04:44] Balthazar: right now in getting 1000 bytes with my wireless card :-D [04:44] nullm0dem__, you think it would be possible same thing is happening to his ethernet card? [04:44] Balthazar: never seen that issue [04:44] Balthazar: it would be rare [04:44] stopMovingMouse, did you messed with Preferences - compizconfig? === mawnoh is now known as Guest51056 [04:45] Balthazar, how much of a speed difference are we talking anyway? [04:45] that is what i was thinking nikola [04:45] nullm0dem__: about 3 MBPS in Ubuntu and about 12 MBPS in windows [04:45] what is the difference between ubuntu, fedora, and redhat? [04:46] versions of linux [04:46] can anyone remember an ubuntu project about a set of progamming tools to make it easier to develop apps for ubuntu? [04:46] is that it? [04:46] it was based in python, gtk and glade [04:46] mr_orange_, Ubuntu and Fedora pretty much just use two differnt packaging systems. Redhat is a corporate version of Fedora. [04:46] does one focus on multiamedia more is one for buisness [04:46] ah ok thank you [04:46] Balthazar, are you using the same speed test? === joseph is now known as Guest30210 [04:46] hi. anyone here use verizon android phone mobile broadband tethering for computer/laptop? [04:46] I can't remember its name for the life of me [04:46] Need instructions to unecm an img file to bin. [04:47] Bluefish, jedit, Eclipse [04:47] merkoth: quickly [04:47] bcbc2: Thank you so much [04:47] AbeSimpson[RIA]: nullm0dem: My download speed has remained the same under both speed packages from the ISP. I always use the same server and use speedtest. [04:47] bcbc2: Seriously, I was going nuts [04:47] speedtest.net [04:47] merkoth: :) [04:48] nikola: got it. I changed from static application switcher to application switcher. WHen I first did this, compiz just lets yuou choose both at the same time. A long time ago it used to deselect the one. It gives you no option to not use your chioce though if it conflicts. So I went through and unselected and reslected as needed but that led to this problem [04:48] hi can i downgrade ubuntu from 10.10 to 10.04 because 10.10 doesn't work on my hardware? [04:48] fixed it by setting to no compiz in appearance settings, then back to normal then unselecting static application switcher to application switcher [04:48] tnx for info, stopMovingMouse [04:48] :) [04:48] reduz, what doesn't work with your hardware? [04:49] nikola thanks for the help. application switcher where it automatically changes to the windows is a usability nightmare for some of us differently abled folks [04:49] irc://irc.oltreirc.net/Untouchables [04:49] AbeSimpson[RIA], i have no idea, ubuntu 10.10 boots into a black screen, 10.04 was working fine [04:49] Balthazar, to be honest, I have no idea. Try updating and rebooting. [04:49] thanks [04:49] Balthazar: I have used linux for 10 years and have never encountered speed issues using Ethernet. Linux usually has better network speeds in my experience. [04:49] reduz: Hey juan! [04:50] hmm, 10.10 doesn't automagically detect the geforce4 go 440 [04:50] merkoth, hi! good to see you around [04:50] AbeSimpson[RIA]: Already tried that. [04:50] no it doesn't barridus [04:50] reduz, when you boot to the black screen, try hitting ctrl-alt-F1 or F2. Then login, then run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [04:50] Balthazar: Usually this has to do with wireless [04:50] hello guys, still not able to achieve running fluxbox [04:50] AbeSimpson[RIA], i think it's pretty much nvidia binary driver that somehow doesn't work in ubuntu 10.10 [04:50] designerDuck, that's unfortunate, since 10.4 did. oh well [04:50] AbeSimpson[RIA], since the regular one works fine [04:51] reduz, that's my thought, too. [04:51] i found the same reduz [04:51] nullm0dem__: I am as suprised as you. Could it have anything to do with opendns not being configured properly? [04:51] BScreen::BScreen: an error occured while querying the X server. === ubuntu is now known as Exploiter [04:51] time to go back to work [04:51] designerDuck, it works for me on my desktop, but it doesn't like my laptop at all [04:51] i am on a laptop too [04:52] reduz, you might want to edit the xorg.conf file and in the video section, replace where it says driver "nvidia" with driver "nv" and that should at least get your desktop loaded. [04:52] designerDuck, can you design ubuntu 10.10 cd layout so that i can print it? :D [04:52] :/ [04:52] Balthazar: no, DNS has to do with lookups, once that is done.... [04:53] Balthazar, OpenDNS shouldn't be the issue [04:53] routing is done on other places [04:53] AbeSimpson[RIA], i know, but i have no use for linux/ubuntu if i can't get the binary driver working [04:53] AbeSimpson[RIA]: nullm0dem__I didn't think so but i'm grasping at straws :P [04:54] AbeSimpson[RIA], it seems pretty much that x crashes on boot [04:54] as i said i have to go back to work. i have a deadline tomorrow, always a deadline :) [04:54] reduz, I agree, lol. I didn't see if you said you tried running "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [04:54] AbeSimpson[RIA], yeah, did, nothing there [04:55] reduz, try alternative cd install, in text mode. had similar problem with laptop [04:55] AbeSimpson[RIA]: nullm0dem__I think my final step is going to be fresh install. Yeah. I did update and upgrade. [04:55] nikola, reduz upgraded from the LTS to 10.10. [04:55] Balthazar: Do you know what network card you have? I doubt there is a flaky driver issue but we can check. [04:55] nikola, he's originally wondering if he can downgrade without losing his install. [04:56] nullm0dem__: what's the command to list hardware? [04:56] but he would not wonder about downgrading, AbeSimpson[RIA] , if he can solve the problem.. [04:56] nikola, i'm not sure if i can solve the problem, so i guess safest route is dowgrading [04:57] im not sure too [04:57] nikola, he can't bring his desktop up. I would imagine he has files and settings and such he is looking to retain. Essentially he would like to reverse his upgrade. Do you know if that's possible? [04:58] AbeSimpson[RIA]: I can assure you that reduz can make sure his settings are safe [04:58] no, with my few updates with ubuntu, i always went up, not down :D [04:58] AbeSimpson[RIA]: He's an experienced user ;) [04:59] merkoth, lol, okay. First time here. Just killing time [04:59] Balthazar: lspci | grep Ethernet controller [04:59] Balthazar: run in terminal [05:00] nullm0dem__:00:12.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 74) [05:00] well, guess i'll have to reinstall 10.4 [05:00] good thing i made a separate home partition [05:00] Balthazar: that card is solid [05:00] I worked if freebsd is better [05:00] wonder [05:00] Balthazar: or chipset i chould say [05:00] because i'm having so many hardware problems with linux/ubuntu [05:01] reduz, I wondered this too. Wondered. [05:01] cry me a river [05:01] nullm0dem__: any suggestions before I clean slate this b**ch? [05:01] Hmm..maybe now is a better time to re-ask? Anyone using FreeNX on 10.10? I'm finding it SUPER slow even with all desktop effects turned off. [05:02] different kernal maybe [05:02] 10.04 works fine except wifi hardware works really bad. 10.10 wifi harware works great, but nvidia drivers don't [05:02] k [05:03] Balthazar: how did you compare speedtests between linux and windows? [05:03] * tiox raises his hand [05:04] nullm0dem__: same test : speedtest.net. same server. back to back except for reboots. three times each [05:04] I was using FreeNX on another, older machine and it was extremely fast. However with 10.10 it's *very* slow. [05:04] Is this the appropriate place to ask for color scheme details for Ubuntu-specific stuff? [05:04] nullm0dem__: speedtest shows two different ip addresses though :( [05:04] Balthazar: fresh install? [05:04] can someone tell me if i need to be running Ubuntu Server Edition in order to share files with people on my network? the computer will act as a server [05:05] no, upgrade from 10.04 [05:05] Death [05:05] 2 [05:05] Lunix [05:05] And kill blax toot 8} [05:05] !ot | KillBlax [05:05] KillBlax: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

You can set up a samba share (right click and hit sharing options) [05:05] Uhm, odd WTF there... [05:05] i need to install smba first yes? [05:06] ninjamasks, It will prompt you to install samba [05:06] right-click the drive i want to share? [05:06] hi chan [05:06] Balthazar: not sure then. I have the same issue with my wireless card after upgrading. but i have several types of cards so it's not a big deal [05:06] Anyway, I wanna know the color values for the Firefox address bar because I wanna keep the look and feel, except with a darker background. [05:06] Gnea? [05:07] ninjamasks, I'm not sure about drives specifically, but I know you can share entire folders by right-clicking the folder and clicking sharing options. [05:07] has anyone heard anything about gdm problems when upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10? [05:07] nikola: yes? [05:07] thanks. im gonna install samba first and give it a try tho [05:07] nullm0dem__: AbeSimpson[RIA]Thamks for your help guys. I'll post back if a clean install does the trick :) [05:07] Balthazar: good luck! :-) [05:08] I am at a loss for how to proceed to be honest. I tried in the NX channel but that has been dead for the entire day. Perhaps someone can chime in with a recommendation? [05:08] !pm | nikola [05:08] nikola: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [05:08] ninjamasks, You might not need to. It'll prompt you for everything. [05:09] why did you sent me that ubottu msg? i wasnt complaing about helpers in this channel , Gnea [05:09] techwizrd: thx [05:09] ninjamasks, Did it work? [05:09] TheProf: the client is slow or the server? I am about to install the client after a fresh upgrade to 10.10 [05:10] nikola: well, since you asked...23:01 < nikola> cry me a river <-- not exactly the kind of attitude we prefer to condone around here. [05:10] Gnea, it wasnt a question so that others can help me, and i wasnt complaining about volunteers in this channel too [05:10] techwizrd, not for the whole drive, but files within it yes. can i use a Mac/PC to connect to it? [05:10] this linux machine that is [05:11] nullm0dem__: Hello. I believe it is the server. I am using the same computer at home to connect to 2 servers in the same rack remotely. When I fire up the two instances of NX the Ubuntu 10.10 is much slower. Interestingly its hardware is much better than the other one. [05:11] well, Gnea , that person first took some time questioning the people about how to fix problem, then he started whining about all the problems with 10.04 and 10.10. i replied with "cry me a river" and moved on . [05:11] ninjamasks, As far as I know, yes. I haven't experimented too much with shared folders myself. I mostly use Dropbox for that. [05:11] techwizrd: yeah Dropbox is great but not for what I want to do. I'm really trying to setup and home server. should i just install Server Edition [05:12] when I get to gdm in my upgraded box, it doesn't show up my username or a place to type my pw [05:12] what is the command for terminal to edit boot grub [05:12] will you send me some more bot msgs, Gnea , or can i leave? [05:12] ninjamasks, Server for what? Do you want a fileserver or something more complex? Shared folders are usually for quick shares as opposed to long running network drives or file servers. [05:12] TheProf: I need to install the client here shortly i will let you know if i experience the same issue's and maybe we can try to figure it out. [05:13] UbuntuNoob, Why? [05:13] hey whenever my comp comes back from sleep, it asks for password... i cant turn it off.. any ideas(lock is off on screensaver)? [05:13] UbuntuNoob, You should use startupmanager. It's in the repos. [05:13] techwizrd: my chipset doesnt like ubuntu so i have to add a line of code to make it boot properly and i dont want to have to edit it every startup [05:13] techwizrd: Fileserver yes. simly that, to share movies and other files with my roomates. deticated server which will be running 24/7 w/o monitor/keyboard... hoping ill just be able to SSH into it [05:14] nullm0dem__: That is great I eagerly await your response :) [05:14] multipass_, install ubuntu tweak it has an option to disable password requirements when you come back from suspend [05:14] anyone use burg? [05:15] ninjamasks, I would probably set up Ubuntu Server Edition and share files via sftp and upnp (through MediaTomb for stuff like PS3's) [05:15] glitchd, Yes. I use burg. [05:15] is it /default/grub.cfgf? [05:15] techwizrd, how bout burg-manager? [05:15] glitchd, Nope. [05:16] do you know of any tutorials or w.e that would help me with setting up Ubuntu Server Edition? I've tried installing it before but just stopped after it asked me what adds. i wanted to install like LAMP or DNS or Mail server...... [05:16] ninjabox, you could also install vsftpd. It would be faster than ssh. [05:16] techwizrd, dam. im trying to figure out how to change the language to english [05:16] Hi. How do I setup exaile to send scroblings to last.fm? [05:16] also, does Server Edition have a GUI? i understand there is no window manager... [05:16] UbuntuNoob: /etc/default/grub [05:16] techwizrd, but the instructions are crappy [05:16] ninjamasks, you could also install vsftpd. It would be faster than ssh. [05:17] Abe: thanks. noted. [05:17] ninjamasks, there is no GUI that I am aware of. [05:17] UbuntuNoob, It should be in /boot/grub/grub.cfg in 10.10 but I would warn against editing your grub configs. One mistake will leave your computer unbootable and you would need to fix it bia livecd. [05:17] Abe, crap. that will be hard but i need to learn [05:17] ninjamasks, you could install a desktop and just stop gdm from starting. [05:17] Abe, GDM? [05:18] im on 10.04 and i cant not chznge it and ive done this like 5 times but thank you for the warning [05:18] ninjamasks, You're probably going to want LAMP. DNS and Mail aren't really applicable in this case. [05:18] ninjamasks, GDM is the graphical login screen. === root is now known as Guest73198 [05:18] hi [05:18] right, i know LAMP is for file sharing and I dont need a DNS or mail server I was just descrbing my confustion lol. i think ill just take the jump and install server editon [05:18] ninjamasks, gdm brings up the login screen and the desktop pretty much. If you install the ubuntu-desktop package, you could just stop gdm from starting on boot. [05:18] mk [05:19] ninjamasks, I would recommend using regular Ubuntu until you get a feel for the terminal and feel comfortable without a desktop. [05:19] Abe. i'm going to install Server Edition right now..... loggin onto irc on next computer. [05:19] ninjamasks, LAMP isn't necessarily for filesharing. LAMP servers have Apache, MySQL, and PHP/Python/Perl. They're full webservers. [05:19] Does anyone here uses Exaile? [05:19] i'm alright with command line. i need to learn so id rather just go balls deep. [05:19] ninjamasks, LAMP is pretty much a one stop web server suite. [05:20] !anyone | faryshta [05:20] faryshta: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:20] thats pretty much what i need i think [05:20] thanks jags [05:20] that looks like it should work [05:20] gonna try it brb [05:20] faryshta, I use Exaile (or used to because it doesn't support the Sound Menu thing they added for Rhytmbox and Banshee). [05:20] this machine isnt exactly a beast so i dont think potentially streaming video and running the full ubuntu/gnome deal would fair well [05:20] has anyone heard about these problems with gdm? right now I can't seem to access my computer at all [05:21] techwizrd. Does it support last.fm scrobbling? [05:21] ninjamasks, if you install a desktop, you could stop it from loading. The scenario would work like like follows [05:21] faryshta, Yes, it does. It's under Edit > Preferences. [05:22] ninjamasks, you'd log in to your command line only system. If you get in a pickle where you just need to click something, type "startx". Your desktop will load up and you can get what you need done and then exit the desktop. [05:22] ninjamasks, You can stream video over UPnP and MediaTomb. I do it all the time to stream movies and music to my PS3. [05:22] ninjamasks, also install the "links" package to get a web browser that runs without x [05:23] Algum brasileiro? [05:23] If a Linux admin dies in the forest does anyone care? [05:23] ok thanks. so install GDM and reboot? that will get me to command line then get links? [05:24] techwizrd, thanks. [05:24] ninjamasks, Uninstall GDM or stop it from starting automatically. [05:24] faryshta, You're welcome. [05:24] God Damn Monkies [05:24] BRASIL??? [05:24] techwizard, k just a second.

[05:27] i don't get this [05:27] nvidia driver loads OK, but then X crashes [05:27] hi i have an intermidiate question for 10.10 users...how can i suspend my laptop with a simple, non-root terminal command?? [05:27] how can i upgrade my os from 10.04 to 10.10 [05:27] ubottu: upgrade | UbuntuNoob [05:27] UbuntuNoob: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [05:27] UbuntuNoob, Do you want to upgrade or clean install? [05:27] in my experience you should just wipe it and do a fresh install [05:28] upgrade [05:28] are there any alternatives to adobe flash player that work in-browser? I like to watch videos, and work on stuff at the same time (dual screen) but going from one screen to the other kicks flash out of fullscreen, I've searched for answers and the only thing I can find is windows solutions with a hex editor. [05:28] ugh i dont really want to do a clean install but i will some other day if its a better alt [05:28] Iwconfig: no extensions [05:28] Talon_, I know how you feel. Do you use Chrome by any chance? [05:28] Talon_: there is gnash, but i'm not sure how well it works [05:28] AbeSimpson[RIA]: no but i do have it [05:28] both my upgrades broke stuff [05:28] Can someone help [05:29] Talon_, there is a Chrome extension that I like to use for Youtube. It's Youtube only though. Let me get you a link. [05:29] earthshade, What's your question? [05:29] Talon_, https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/fkpaakpeehepibjpdmoocdaonognfiog [05:29] techwizrd: no wireless networks show up [05:29] hi there [05:29] why my pendrive [05:29] Talon_, after using the extension, hit F11 to full screen the browser. [05:29] should i download 10.10 and burn it and do a clea install? [05:29] when i record a file on ubuntu [05:29] earthshade, Is your wireless card recognized? [05:29] No [05:29] Talon_, it's a crappy alternative, but it's there. [05:29] and try to open on windows not appear nothing? [05:30] UbuntuNoob, I would highly recommend a clean install. Remember to backup your stuff though. [05:30] techwizrd: No [05:30] earthshade, What is your wireless card? === IceGuest_75 is now known as mike32547 [05:30] techwizard: i reinstalled this os literally 5 minutes ago im not too worried about backups [05:30] UbuntuNoob, Great. [05:30] techwizrd: Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03) [05:30] techwizrd, last question. Where can I read the lyrics on Exaile? [05:31] faryshta, I'm not sure I remember there being a lyrics plugin and you could right-click or something and it would bring you to a tab with the lyrics. [05:31] hello can i get help wit h a slight windows problem? i know this is a ubuntu channel.. but can i get help regardless"? [05:31] Hi, I am using Ubuntu 10.04.1 as a server and I have a storage dilema [05:31] techwizrd, thanks.

[05:32] techwizrd: Wg311v3 [05:32] i am trying to get 3 hds into raid 5 possibly but i don't know what file system would be best to use [05:32] the admin is disabled [05:32] he cant login cause he doesnt remember the pass [05:32] techwizrd: Did you catch all that? [05:32] hes in safe mode but it needs a acccount pass [05:32] is there anyway he can reset the pass? [05:32] earthshade, Yes. [05:32] mike32547: No, we don't support Windows.

[05:33] ibblu: no, LVM is silly on a RAID 5 [05:33] hy [05:33] earthshade, I'm looking through the docs for it. [05:33] earthshade: FloodBot keeps an eye on the channel and stops people from flooding it. It's not smart enough to help you with technical support; continue using in-channel for that :) [05:33] ok [05:34] you should make your RAID 5, use between 5 and 7 drives, have a hot spare, and put ONE filesystem on it [05:34] okokok [05:34] okokok [05:34] raid 5 requires a minimum of 3 hds [05:34] rww: Lol how can you watch that? [05:34] earthshade, Have you tried this: [05:34] http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/wireless-internet/114655-wifi-driver-problem-netgear.html#post620713 [05:34] rww: please stop hacking floodbot [05:34] geez! [05:35] Alright so I can't figure it out. How do I disable gdm? looking in /boot/grub/ and got confused [05:35] * rww puts away his axe [05:35] intelligentfool: use ssh!

[05:36] nullm0dem_ can i just ssh over 443 and do some local port forwarding with putty? [05:36] the proxy at work is restrictive enough that even googling vpn ends up with hit or miss access to the results :) [05:36] ibblu: stop PMing me. [05:36] techwizrd: can you point me in the right direction? [05:36] tonsofpcs how do i write it like you do? [05:36] intelligentfool: yep [05:37] intelligentfool: there's ton's of howto's use google [05:37] techwizrd: Yes I get errors [05:37] I jizzed [05:37] ok, anyone know how to delay a command in the terminal?? something like " | at now + 2 minutes" at isn't working for me :( [05:37] intelligentfool: wait what?

[05:38] earthshade, What kind if errors? [05:39] man this just sucks...no flash for ppc. doesnt make any sence [05:39] nullm0dem_ anyway, so this is something i can setup with openvpn or openssh? i need some direction here [05:40] techwizrd: All Config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release. [05:40] intelligentfool: http://www.devdaily.com/unix/edu/putty-ssh-tunnel-firefox-socks-proxy/ for putty [05:40] techwizrd: After modprobe ndiswrapper [05:40] grendal_prime: If you're looking to watch youtube you can use HTML5 instead of flash. [05:40] and i cant seem to get this damn video card to work right ither. [05:40] nullm0dem_ i think a coworker was saying they've blocked socks? [05:40] Jordan_U, whats that? [05:41] how do i do that on the client side? [05:41] intelligentfool: socks proxies are just ssh tunnels [05:41] grendal_prime: http://youtube.com/html5 [05:41] is there a built in java compiler for ubuntu? [05:41] earthshade, You've got to be kidding. I just modprobe-d my wacom tablet the day before yesterday. [05:41] or well...SOCKSv5 can be implemented that way, at least :) [05:41] mr_orange_, Install sun-java6-jre from the universe repository [05:41] techwizrd: its not in universe [05:41] techwizrd: Um idk what that means but im not kidding [05:41] techwizrd thank you [05:42] yea, i think so long as its going through the proxy servers on 443 or 80 i should be ok [05:42] mr_orange_: sun's is in the partner repository. openjdk is available in the default repositories. one isnt included by default due to cd size restrictions [05:42] techwizrd: What should i do? [05:42] Good evening, everyone [05:43] earthshade, At this point, I've got no clue. Google I guess. [05:43] hi how do i reinstall a broken package that can't be purged? [05:43] hgj [05:43] i'd like to have something that my gf can use from her office too.... my coworker has a vpn setup where he points his browser to https://something.something.bla and then launches some java app to make a tunnel, that sound familiar at all? [05:43] techwizrd: cant i just comment out the bit that says "start on....."? or should i change the runlevel to a specific value? [05:43] reqem_, Have you tried sudo apt-get install -f [05:44] techwizrd: That spells uninstalling ubuntu for me... I've googled so much... If I can get passed that blacklist error im good... You seem to know what it means... [05:44] ie. putty's not involved at all [05:44] intelligentfool: sourceforge! [05:44] techwizrd: thank you very much :) [05:44] i will remember that one [05:44] ninjamasks, You generally need to put a specific runlebel [05:44] earthshade, what was the error? [05:44] techwizrd: any idea what that might be? [05:44] nullm0dem_ haha, just download everything on sourceforge? i do have 50mbps at home but it'd still take a bit [05:45] reqem_, http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/apt-get-how-to-fix-very-broken-packages/ [05:45] i trying to use streamripstar to rip pithos but i have no clue how to locate the stream..? [05:45] ninjamasks, This thread should point you in the right direction: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1322949&page=2 [05:45] anyone have a great idea of what would be the best filesystem would be for 6tb storage on 3 hds that is safe and easy to add and remove hds? [05:45] pionar: All Config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release. This was after running ndiswrapper [05:46] ibblu: ext4 over LVM [05:46] pionar: *modprobe ndiswrapper [05:46] jordan_U: what about btrfs? [05:46] Jordan_U: you donn't put LVM on a RAID5. [05:46] ibblu: btrfs would be better integrated and make it easier to add/remove drives but I wouldn't call it safe quite yet. [05:46] AbhiJit: this is good as well. bookmarked. will undoubtedly come in handy some day. [05:46] ubottu: Hi [05:47] oh, nm, he changed his mind [05:47] earthshade, Can't you jsut rename the config files to /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf ? [05:47] Jordan_U: i know its still in the testing mode [05:47] does anyone know how to locate an active stream in ubuntu? [05:47] so i can set it in streamripper [05:47] techwizrd: So what should I do? Should I run modprobe ndiswrapper.conf? [05:47] reqem_, yah [05:48] Jordan_U: do you happen to know how to get the lvm to work with raid 5? [05:48] earthshade, did you try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1186010.html? [05:48] intelligentfool: are you forced to use windows at work? openvpn requires admin access to get the tun / tap setup [05:48] earthshade, For that error specifically, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7452452&postcount=10 [05:48] 1500 people in here, nd no one has a clue? [05:48] techwizrd: rebooting. ill let you know the solution if it works [05:48] ninjabox, Awesome. [05:49] techwizrd, do u know how to locate a active stream? [05:49] Exillimantly done [05:49] glitchd, from streamripper? No clue. Haven't used it much. The only streams I listen to are the RainWave/Ormgas ones. [05:49] nullm0dem_ yup, stuck on windows at work, so i'm looking for the simplest possible solution on the client side [05:50] an active stream period [05:50] techwizrd, an active stream period [05:50] intelligentfool: putty into a linux box [05:50] i have this idea that you can hit an http server, and then launch some app to create a layer 3 tunnel inside the ssl session [05:50] techwizrd, like from pithos the pandora client [05:50] ^https [05:51] glitchd, Why do you need to locate the stream? [05:51] so that i can point streamripper towards it to rip [05:51] nullm0dem_ the network is setup so that you either have to get past a firewall or go through the proxy servers to get to the internet, i'm a network engineer there.... i'm 99% sure there's no way past the proxies [05:52] nullm0dem_ if that's what you meant anyway.... i cant ssh to a public ip [05:52] glitchd: Might i suggest King Magnus ;) / One and the same [05:52] Omanza, huh?? [05:52] glitchd: Youre welcome my friend [05:53] Omanza, u mean for your lack of help? [05:53] Omanza, no thx given for that. [05:53] glitchd, I have no clue. [05:53] glitchd: What do you need help with ? [05:53] techwizrd, ok. thx anyways [05:53] Jordan_U, i opt in but it doesnt do anything [05:53] Omanza, please dont talk to me. [05:54] glitchd, Silence pandora or ignore him. Also, I went a looked it up. Pithos uses gstreamer and doesn't save the stream to a temporary file. [05:54] i dont know dude im just totally disenchanted with the entire power PC deal..what a piece of crap, no wonder apple dumped it. [05:54] glitchd: I know everyting in and out but i see that you somehow dont want knowledge [05:55] intelligentfool: i figured as much... are you that bored at work? :-) [05:55] glitchd: Why do you ask for help but dont want it ? [05:55] nullm0dem_ absolutely :) [05:55] you have a pcc mac or something lol? [05:55] I'm in the same boat, I just use it now as a xbmc for my parents [05:55] Omanza, You're talking nonsense. Seriously. [05:56] intelligentfool: fool; get a grip [05:56] am i in the offtopic channel? [05:56] i cant get the nvidia drivers to work. and...werid video issues with this thing..macbook pro g4. Ubuntu installs on it just fine, everything else works but the video is hella slow and the fact that flash is dependet on the arch...what the hell is that all about? [05:56] techwizrd: ok, now im just stuck at the boot screen [05:56] crawler, Look at the channel title. [05:56] i look for some help ,since i upgrade to 10.10 my startup programs don't run [05:56] ninjamasks, Do you mean it's stuck at the boot screen? [05:56] techwizrd: Im UPSTREAM. Do you wish to say i shouldnt code sir or mam ? :) [05:57] donnadie, Open up startup capplications [05:57] blah, oh well, i need sleep, thanks anyway nullm0dem_ [05:57] jags, personally i use a dell with preinstalled linux on it. I install linux on a lot of stuff but this was for a client ...the dude just loves his PPC mac. Even though its a piece of crap. Mac doenst support it anymore. [05:57] techwizrd, yes deep purple with Ubuntu logo 5 dots changing to white to orange.... etc.. [05:57] You guys pointed me in the right direction [05:57] intelligentfool: NP [05:57] told him id give it a shot. [05:57] techwizrd: Sssh------------------------- [05:58] Omanza, No, you just said something about King Magnus. Which doesn't really have much to do with ripping streams fro pithos. Unless you speak in some kind of code. [05:58] techwizrd: Sssh------------------------- [05:58] grendal_prime, I know I really regret dropping $1800 on mine, it does the same job now as a $40 modded xbox [05:58] earthshade, Glad #ubuntu could be of help. [05:58] NOW! [05:58] i did, im done with it. [05:58] techwizrd ? [05:58] can I get the current master sound data in python ? just to fix the impulse screenlet ? [05:58] ninjamasks, Have you tried booting in verbose mode? [05:59] donnadie, Yes? [05:59] LOL. Oh man and Woe-Man [05:59] techwizrd, nope. 1 sec [05:59] grendal_prime: What browser are you using, and can you view the video on this page after entering the beta: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH_UyWuSadc&feature=related ? [05:59] i can see the list but when i start the session those don't run [05:59] Omanza, I don't understand anything you're saying. What are you talking about? [06:00] im using firefox. i cant get anything higher without compiling it myself for ppc...and screw that. [06:00] donnadie, Have you selected the checkboxes on the side for the ones you want to run?

[06:03] sabayonuser3, It should say "from the system menu)" [06:03] I'm trying to set e to my nautilus shortcut, it works fine in metacity, but in compiz it won't launch nautilus, so I'm really confused, I setup the shortcut in gnome and compiz and there isn't any conflicting shortcuts set in compiz. Still won't work, but I have no problem on my 10.10 desktop, just my 10.04 notebook [06:03] my gnome run perfectly, it's just the startup programs don't run i have to run it manual [06:03] well this 5s a laptop [06:04] jags, E Is reserved for Desktop Wall already. [06:04] the menue says model unknown [06:04] donnadie, Is Startup Applications (the app) not working for you? [06:05] Techwizrd, yes I know I disabled that shortcut and set it to up [06:05] sabayonuser3, do you know what model it is? If you do, select it from the list (eg. mine is a standard us keyboard). [06:05] techwizrd, ok whatever runlevel i changed clearly didnt work. [06:05] sabayonuser3: why don't you better ask in your channel¿ [06:05] techwizrd, but im back into gnome now [06:05] jags, Are you sure there are no other compiz plugins using E [06:06] yes i do know the model [06:06] ninjamasks, Great. Did you get back by reverting that runlevel change or by doing startx? [06:06] I'm gonna look it over again, but wouldn't it do something if something else was set, what if a plugin isn't turned on but has the shortcut, would that effect it i wonder? [06:06] techwizrd, the startup app window show me fine, but all market application isn't running [06:07] techwizrd, well i was stuck at the boot screen so just go through cli and startx yeah [06:07] donnadie, Really? That's very strange. Have you filed a bug? I've never seen anything like that. I have Dropbox and a few other stuff start at startup and that works. [06:08] ninjamasks, Well, at least it works. [06:08] i put in a pci card with 6 rs232 ports on it, and the comp itself has 2 ports when i go to /dev i only see 4 ttys*s [06:09] techwizrd, yeah. looking around for another answer === _Dave2_ is now known as Dave2 [06:10] ninjamasks, I know there is a right way to do it, but I don't know what it is.

I'm just talking off the top of my head here, but maybe your changes are getting synced with you settings. [06:14] techwizrd, see if this makes any sense to you http://fooninja.net/2010/07/29/text-boot-in-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04-disabling-gdm/ [06:14] techwizrd, do you know if there is a gsettings file? === zipp0 is now known as zipluser [06:14] I've got a hung gvim process that refuses to die with kill -9 what can i do? [06:14] ninjamasks, That makes perfect sense. [06:15] perhaps the card didn't initalize? [06:15] how could i check that [06:15] donnadie, GSettings is the replacement for GConf I think === Freejack is now known as Freejack` [06:16] techwizrd, grub.cfg? [06:16] etherealite, Not even kill -9 ? [06:16] techwizrd thats right, i tried to open a file in gvfs and it hung. [06:17] ninjamasks, It says to /etc/default/grub [06:17] mb [06:17] ninjamasks, I don't like the way they're doing int, but the method makes sense. [06:18] techwizrd now they just died like 10 minutes later what the hell? [06:18] etherealite, That's really weird. [06:19] etherealite, There's almost nothing kill -9 won't kill. And the delayed death might be due to system load or something. I've got no clue. [06:20] techwizrd, what method would you suggest? [06:20] ninjamasks, I prefer the runlevel method because it seems "more proper" to me. [06:21] techwizrd, thank's i will check that [06:21] Hi! I get this kernel crash when booting Xorg + nvidia binary [06:21] http://reduz.dyndns.org/crashl.txt [06:21] Is there a GUI I can use to configure the edges of my touchpad? [06:21] any idea how to fix? [06:22] mythril, There is. I think it's called gsynaptics or something. I'll check. [06:22] mythril, there is a touchpad app in synaptic you can install, but depending on your hardware you might only get vertical scrolling, or both horizontal and vertical, but not 2 finger scrolling [06:22] when I get to gdm in my upgraded box, it doesn't show up my username or a place to type my pw [06:22] techwizrd, alright ill dig :) [06:23] mythril just search touchpad in synaptic [06:23] ninjamasks, Tell me if you find anything. I'm interested in what the real, proper way is to do it. [06:23] mythril, Yeah. I think it's gsynaptics. [06:24] Barridus, still around? === sash__ is now known as sash_ [06:24] has anyone heard about thaat? [06:25] Smerdykov: did you try pressing enter? [06:25] Smerdykov, Are you on the list of users that can show up on the gdm? AFAIK only specific users can (eg. not root, etc.) === Tanvir|Class is now known as Tanvir [06:27] nihao [06:28] I'm a bit new to the linux command line, how can i kill a program by name instead of getting the pid and using kill -9? [06:28] normally I am the only name that pops up [06:28] jags, pkill [06:28] hi all! I'm trying to do a fresh install on a vanilla hdd and a ssd. I want to only use to ssd to speed up boot and store important binaries. Can anyone point me in the right direction? [06:28] techwizrd, thanks [06:29] but after upgrading, when it gets to the gdm splash screen it tells me I have graphics driver errors and then refuses to show a login box [06:29] My 10.04 isn't booting. I can't think of any major software changes that have been made, but when I boot to Ubuntu it goes to the login screen and freezes. I can't tell if the system is just unresponsive or if it's a problem with my laptops keyboard and mouse upon starting. [06:29] switching to terminals just gives me a blinking cursor [06:29] ubuntu, When installing, make sure you manually partition and set the ssd to be /boot [06:29] sqwertle, can you load gnome in failsafe? [06:30] techwizrd, sorry for my handle :) can i also create a partition on the ssd for key binaries? perhaps just mount as /usr/local/bin? any suggestions? /fast :)? [06:30] just want a place to store important media/apps (techwizrd) [06:31] jags, I'm not sure how to go about that but I have a problelm generally booting Ubuntu in anything but the standard mode. I have to use the acpi=off command in order to boot, and have troubles getting the recovery consoles to boot, so I'm not entirely sure. [06:31] ubuntu, Sure, why not? My hdd is partitioned into /boot / and /home with /boot being a quick ext2 and / and /hom ebeing ext4fs [06:31] sqwertle, you should have a recovery option in grub2 [06:32] Hi, I've been having an issue with ubuntu since my first install (8.04). Every few minutes, my system locks up until it gets a hardware interrupt of some kind (eg: keypress). Any ideas? [06:32] I do have the option, it just doesn't seem to boot: jag [06:32] techwizrd, thanks so much. nervous about messing my ssd up :) is ext2 better than somehow disabling journaling for ext4fs? [06:32] ... or perhaps not possible for /boot? === cmdshftn_ is now known as cmdshftn [06:33] ubuntu, I don't really need journaling for my /boot because I don't make any changes to /boot other than the occasional kernel upgrades [06:33] Let me switch the irc over to my desktop so I can play with this while on here [06:33] techwizrd: ah, i mean, is it better to use ext2 rather than ext4 w/o journaling [in general] [06:34] nullm0dem: Hello. Did you get a chance to try FreeNX? [06:34] (thanks for baring with me :) === ejv_ is now known as ejv [06:34] ubuntu, You should definitely use ext4fs for /home and everything else, but /boot doesn't really _need_ journaling and according to bootchart, an ext2 /boot partition helps me boot slightly faster. [06:35] ah, yay. thanks very much :) [06:35] TheProf: im trying it now don't seem to see any change from my 10.04 setup [06:35] nullm0dem: Do you find that it is performing well? [06:35] good evening/afternoon/morning [06:36] Why is it such a pain to configure my touchpad? [06:36] I am comparing it to my other server which is an old Fedora 10 installation. The FreeNX performance was amazing - almost like sitting at the console. [06:36] i have a problem that i hope someone can help me with [06:36] how can I shutdown my ubuntu by email?.. [06:36] this used to work/have basic config tools out of the box back in Hardy [06:36] why did we downgrade? [06:36] hi all [06:36] jags, i think it's making it into the recovery console [06:36] what is xterm? [06:36] glace: very carefully.... that'd be beyond the scope of this room [06:36] How do I go about booting in failsafe mode? [06:37] TheProf: it seems to be consistent with what i am used too. i am connecting to a server that is still running 10.04 though [06:37] sqwertle: select 'single user mode' from the boot menu [06:37] nullm0dem: Hmm..OK. I am not sure why I'm having this performance issue. [06:37] installation instructions for this driver say "Make sure whether the standard uart driver(CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) is compiled as a module(=m) or inbuilt(=y). This can be seen in .config file of corresponding kernel directory(/usr/src/linux-2.6.XX)." but this is 10.04 and I don't have the source [06:38] in 9.04 my wireless card worked perfectly, since then there is no driver available, and since i cant get on the internet, it cant download the driver to get me on the internet to download the driver to... [06:38] is it inbuilt or a module? [06:38] sqwertle, I'm not really sure what your problem is, but i would try and startx from a command line and see what happens [06:38] gnea, I don't have that on my grub menu [06:38] techwizrd, post #5 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1477439 [06:38] jags: I'll try that [06:39] sqwertle: "Recovery mode" [06:39] sqwertle: er yeah, 'recovery mode' [06:39] jordan_U, jags, gnea: I can't enter recovery mode, and there is no single user mode. [06:39] ninjamasks, Cool. BTW, there is a permalink button: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9303525&postcount=5 [06:39] yeah i was looking for that [06:40] sqwertle boot with a live cd and use recovery with that? [06:40] <|multipass|> is kde as stable as gnome> [06:40] there are modules for it so i'll assume that === administrator is now known as Guest50997 [06:40] I'll try my 10.10 cd I guess [06:40] hi, my webcam doesn't work, help? [06:41] that is, after upgrade to 10.10 [06:41] |multipass|, Ys it's stable, but I'd suggest not to install KDE in Ubuntu. It breaks many things. Personal Experience. Two Times :P [06:41] cheese can't fin it [06:41] help [06:41] hi! my printer does not work anymore; it says "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'server-error-internal-error'." I need to print things out by tomorrow :/ [06:41] my wireless doesnt work [06:41] help [06:41] <|multipass|> Krishnandu: yeah lol ive done it too.. D: [06:42] <|multipass|> Krishnandu: reguardless i still consider kubuntu.. but im wondering if it is as stable [06:42] |multipass|, :) Ok...then don't try to uninstall it atleast... [06:42] <|multipass|> lol, i tried something like pure gnome.. i think it might worked [06:43] |multipass|, Ya using Kubuntu is different thing. But installing KDE in ubuntu is always wrong decission. And even wrong decission is to uninstall it. [06:43] hasenj, Cheese only works with certain webcams (mine works, but ymmv). I can't remember what the specific standard it is, but what's your webcam model and is there a linux driver? [06:43] what is xterm? [06:43] BinaryCortex, try installing the proprietary driver with system>Administration>Additional drivers, if that doesn't work you might need to use ndswrapper and get the correct windows firmware [06:43] |multipass|, I broke my mysql, php, audio/video codecs etc. uninstalling it. [06:43] techwizrd, I don't know, it comes with the laptop (system76) [06:43] Gnea: okey @_@, I found a software called Gmail remote command but it can only run on windows ... [06:44] <|multipass|> Krishnandu: yeah thats exactly what happened to me too lol.. my lamp stack disspeared among other things.. :[ [06:44] i don't see any 8250 drivers loaded [06:44] :( [06:44] hasenj, A system76 laptop that doesn't work perfectly w/ Ubuntu? Weird. What model is it. [06:44] <|multipass|> i wanna get kubuntu and ubuntu on eventually.. [06:44] jags i tried that, it cant connect to the internet to get the driver [06:44] i just sent an letter today to get free stickers from system76 [06:44] <|multipass|> so no problems with kubuntu stability..? [06:44] which i need to connect to the internet [06:44] to get the driver [06:44] arrgh [06:45] |multipass|, Ya same thing.... [06:45] BinaryCortex, you need to make a physical connection to the network [06:45] figures [06:45] thats stupid [06:45] |multipass|, Ya Kubuntu is safe....you can use that.... [06:45] it used to work [06:45] BinaryCortex, how are you on irc if you have no internet. Can't you download the drivers from a different computer or connect with an ethernet cord? [06:45] techwizrd, it's the pangolin. the webcam used to work, it stopped working after the upgrade [06:45] windows [06:45] glace: figures [06:45] Does anyone know where on the 10.10 cd I can find the recover console? I can't seem to boot into any of the options [06:45] same computer [06:45] |multipass|, Better ask Kubuntu users at #kubuntu [06:45] <|multipass|> Krishnandu: ok good idea thanks [06:45] :) [06:45] techwizrd, didn't work [06:45] #kubuntu is largely dead [06:45] hi someone teach me how to share files between 2 Pc´s [06:46] I'm trying to partition for swap space on a machine with 16 GB of RAM. Any suggestions for swap size? [06:46] i'm installing 10.10, currently in 10.04, if i can't boot into 10.10, is there a easy way to go back to 10.04? [06:46] jags: and it turns out it's not frozen, the time still goes up on it, my keyboard and mouse just aren't responding [06:46] BinaryCortex, your windows partition should be available from linux, get the drivers there meybe [06:46] ninjamasks, Darn. That sucks. [06:46] Eighteens: downgrades are not supported [06:46] ubuntu, 512MB would be enough, if you want hibernation go for 1GB [06:46] jags: ill try that [06:46] jags: also, the caps lock, scroll lock lights wont toggle [06:46] how do I run gsynaptics? [06:46] isaias: try looking up samba and how to set it up and use it in ubuntu [06:46] Eighteens: on the other hand, it is possible to reinstall without losing your home partition [06:46] techwizrd, what about post 3 here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1322949 [06:46] it should work out of the box [06:47] maco, so i'd be looking at reinstalling 10.04 again [06:47] krishnandu: i'm worried by all the stuff saying "at least as big as you have physical memory" -- sure 1gb would be enough? [06:47] Eighteens: yep [06:47] and i meant without losing home directory [06:47] separate partitions arent needed [06:47] but i dont know about samba? how do i use samba? [06:47] ninjamasks, Post #3 on that thread is the same thing as that link you sent me earlier. [06:47] ninjamasks, Why not try it? [06:47] ubuntu, that theory is for users who have <1GB RAM. [06:47] sqwertle, try different peripherals maybe? [06:48] techwizrd, ill give it a shot [06:48] maco, i don't know why i'm even upgrading, i have the modo, that if it works good, LEAVE IT ALONE!, but i guess curiosity lured me in [06:48] ubuntu, I'm not sure, but I usually have 1.5xRAM as my swap. [06:48] ubuntu: I doubled my memory, I think. dont remember. maybe 1.5x ? [06:48] Eighteens: did you start the install yet?if not, why not play in a vm to satisfy curiosity? [06:48] techwizrd: even with a ridiculous amount of ram, use 1.5x? i.e., like 20GB swap? [06:49] 2 GB RAM, 1 GB swap works fine for me. [06:49] is there samba for xubuntu? [06:49] it's installing the upgrades now [06:49] ubuntu: if you intend to hibernate, yes [06:49] ubuntu: you have 10GB RAM?? nice. Consider though that if you use hibernate... see maco :( [06:49] ubuntu, Do you think you're going to fill all your RAM? I'm going to go with maco and say 1.5xRAM [06:49] Base 3.2.1: "Error updating the current record. Invalid argument in JDBC call: parameter index out of range: 2. SQL Status: SOO 10. Error code: -62." Should I report this error to Launchpad, or is it easily to fix? [06:49] ubuntu: you cant hibernate if swap isnt large enough to hold ALL of your RAM's contents plus whatever swap was being used [06:49] jags: yeah, the new mouse did the trick, any idea how I can resolve this? [06:49] Ya 1GB swap is more than enough for most of the users...even with hibernation... [06:50] sqwertle, is it a notebook? [06:50] maco: makes tons of sense. wish this were my box :) setting something up for work with... obscene amounts of ram [06:50] When I try to install package IA32-libs it says cannot locate package3 what would I need to add to get this package located [06:50] yes [06:50] the theory twice as RAM goes only for <1GB RAM [06:50] keyboard works fine in windows? [06:50] yeah, it all works fine in windows [06:50] Krishnandu: no, not "even with hibernation" -- swap MUST be > RAM for hibernation [06:50] Krishnandu: with hibernate does ram go to the swap file?? or where? [06:51] though sure, at large ram you could say thats 1.1x [06:51] maco is right guys [06:51] Anyone have any idea? [06:51] joshmc: yes, the contents of ram are written to the swap partition [06:51] how do I run gsynaptics? [06:51] lol...but he has 10GB of RAM....thats really huge... [06:51] lol, twas what I thought maco [06:51] mythril, You run gpointing-device-settings [06:51] joshmc, RAM image is saved in to Swap [06:51] mythril: i think all its functionality is subsumed in the regular gnome settings now. the project's been abandoned for that reason... [06:51] i guess i better not hibernate ;) [06:52] joshmc, and restored from there into RAM on next boot [06:52] ubuntu: eh it can try to hibernate. it just wont resume. [06:52] sqwertle, google for your notebook model number and problems with keyboard and mouse input, you probly aren't the first [06:52] Anyone know how to install ia32-libs package I get cannot locate package [06:52] * maco points to the word "try" [06:52] maco, that's what I thought too, but I don't think either has the touchpad edge controls [06:52] Sprockets2000: no - in the name, i think [06:52] ...gpointing-device-settings is almost useless, it doesn't allow me to configure hotspots or anything about multi-tapping [06:52] jags: I've been running lucid since the alpha, the problem just happened [06:52] techwizrd, nope, didnt work :( [06:53] sqwertle, thats really weird I have no clue [06:53] mythril: gsynaptics cant do all that the "synclient" command line tool can do either -- i know, i wrote one of the bits of functionality it was missing [06:53] ninjamasks, I'm going to have to look into this more closely. [06:53] BTW can ubuntu 32bit access whole 16GB of RAM?? I mean can it see that much RAM?? [06:53] mythril: i know for sure that it cant let you toggle between edge-scroll and two-finger-scroll [06:53] Krishnandu: sure, we have PAE kernels [06:53] maco: you're saying cant as if you mean can [06:53] maco, Okies..!! Thnx :) [06:54] mythril: no, i mean can't [06:54] mythril: gsynaptics can do about 1/4 of what synclient can [06:54] sqwertle, I would try a live cd and see how it works, if its fine just backup and reinstall [06:54] sorry to keep asking silly questions: is 512 mb a reasonable upper limit size for /boot? [06:54] ubuntu, sure [06:54] (confirming from what i've found via goog) -- thanks bazhang [06:54] mythril, I'm not sure if you can control what the edges and corners of the touchpad do via the GUI. === root is now known as Guest16135 [06:54] ubuntu: still learning so it aint silly! [06:54] mythril: i started on a patch to add toggling between edge-scroll and two-finger-scroll, but i never finished it [06:54] ubuntu, 100MB would do fine [06:55] maco: I swear back in hardy there was a GUI that allowed configuring of the edges, and how to interpret multi-tapping [06:55] but i have to redownload for that :( [06:55] oh well [06:55] ubuntu, You don't need much more than 100-150 mb unless you're keeping around an obscene amount of kernels. === kthomas_vh is now known as kthomas [06:55] I wouldn't mind just changing to 10.10 but it ownt install :( [06:55] Hi guys, I am trying to pass the "loopback=yes" hint to intel HDA kernel driver. Takashi Iwai says write the hint to /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/hints, but there is no such file on ubuntu 10.04. there are some similar directories (e.g. /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D0c) but none of them have a "hints" file. do you know why that is? [06:56] ubuntu, As I said 100MB would do fine...512MB is too huge for /boot [06:56] Has anyone heard about problems with 10.10 when installing where it doesn't go passed the Ubuntu screen with the 5 dots that load? [06:56] mythril: its been about that long since i last looked at it, and yeah i think maybe it could do 2-finger / 3-finger... it could turn edge scrolling off and on, but it couldnt change from edge scrolling to multitouch scrolling [06:56] anyone think they can help me figure out how to install this driver? http://pastebin.org/329192 are the instructions, make install ran fine and i see it listed in modprobe -l [06:57] maco, I think he's talking about executing a command when you hit a specific corner of the touchpad. I remember Windows had something where you could confugre that. [06:57] mythril: i dont recall gsynaptics having hot corners either. it did have circular-scroll and you could pick which corner to start that in... [06:57] KDE's touchpad configuration tool seems pretty darned feature complete [06:58] it has corner tapping === dreamtraveler is now known as noobuntu [07:00] techwizrd: So now I have the drivers installed but the device still isn't recognized [07:00] hehe um it looks like GPointing Device Settings is an exact copy of GSynaptics but with a little pane on the left for choosing between devices [07:00] nobody knows where the /sys/class/sound/card0 hints file resides on ubuntu? or why it might be missing? :( [07:01] anyone think they can help me figure out how to install this driver? http://pastebin.org/329192 are the instructions, make install ran fine and i see it listed in modprobe -l, but there are still only 4 ttySs [07:01] earthshade, You're sure the drivers are installed? Does the device show up in lspci? iwconfig? [07:02] Not in Iwconfig but the drivers are listed [07:02] When I do ndiswrapper -l [07:02] techwizrd: [07:03] <_nix00> hi,all.I need a tip that is ,I always tar a package use this command,"cd dir && tar -cvzpf package.tar.gz ./" , it is ugly, is there a better way to tar a directory to treat this directory as root-tree ? [07:03] _nix00, Have your tried installing dtrx? [07:03] techwizrd: Drivers are found when I do ndiswrapper -l not in Iwconfig [07:04] Hello How are you all do we have registry in ubuntu [07:04] hello i have a sync issue with my ipod [07:04] hasibullah: like the windows registry? not exactly. === Tanvir is now known as Tanvir|Busy [07:04] the ipod is corrupted [07:04] hasibullah, Linux doesn't really have a Windows registery, although Gnome has gsettings/gconf which can be edited through gconf-editor [07:04] how do i sort it? [07:05] hasibullah: no, there isn't. most settings are found in /etc/. gnome and kde each have their own settings mangers that are similar to the registry but are only for gnome and kde, the don't do system settings [07:06] earthshade, I'm not getting much luck. I wonder if there is anyone else here more experienced wtih this kind of issue. My wireless card is always a quick 'sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter' away. [07:06] _nix00: I didnt understand... what are u looking for? [07:06] <_nix00> techwizrd: never tried it. I dtrx stands for “Do The Right Extraction.”. I want to create a package , not extract a package. [07:06] _nix00, Well, use archive roller in gnome. I just right-click some files and click compress. Piece of cake. [07:07] Hi, I'm still having issues with my gnome-panel disappearing on my laptop [07:07] techwizrd: Ya but you need a connection for that right? [07:08] earthshade, I have an ethernet cord as well. My router is only 20-30 feet away from me. I just carry my laptop everywhere (a bit of a pain since it's a 17 inch). [07:08] RudyValencia, gnome-panel should automatically restart when it crashes. Have you filed a bug? [07:09] techwizrd: I wonder I I reinstalled with 10.10 [07:09] It starts but it's not displaying on the laptop's flat panel [07:09] <_nix00> pibarnas: I want to create a package that contain sub-dir directly , I use this command now , "cd dir && tar -cvzpf package.tar.gz ./", I think it isn't a good way. can use tar directly make this package ? [07:10] I can hit Ctrl-F1 and access the GNOME menu but the panel isn't visible [07:10] RudyValencia, Isn't it Alt+F1 ? gnome-panel must have crashed. [07:10] I don't think it scrashed [07:11] :( [07:11] I just don't see it on my laptop's screen [07:11] it' [07:11] _nix00: tar -czvf package.tar.gz /pathtodirorfiles ?

SQL Status: SOO 10. Error code: -62." Should I report this error to Launchpad, or is it easily to fix? [07:11] RudyValencia, gnome-panel only shows up on one monitor. [07:11] Yes [07:12] techwizrd, can you think of anything we might have missed? [07:12] and it's showing on the CRT, not the LCD [07:12] <_nix00> pibarnas: yes, but do it will contain /path, I donn't want contain the path. just want contain the path's sub-dir. [07:12] ninjamasks, Changing the runlevel is how I used to do it. The grub way is new to me. Those are the only two methods googly seems to be giving me. [07:12] help me please. yesterday I did something and the screen is much bigger now. when I move the mouse the screen scrolls [07:13] _nix00: humm, now I see your point...

[07:14] techwizrd, fair enough. ill just create a thread now [07:14] Does anybody know why the kernel names the sound card interfaces pcmC0D0* rather than hwC0D0 (and more importantly, why they have no "hints" file in /sys/class/sound/interfacename ? [07:14] how do you add a icon fathe to xfce panel?

It cannot be made largeer using software. [07:15] suigeneris, You're welcome. It's the Compiz Zoom feature. It's quite useful. [07:15] suigeneris: the screen is the surface of a display device. It cannot be made larger using software. [07:15] <_nix00> pibarnas: good,do you know some better tips ? In terminal, I use this "cd dir && tar -cvzpf package.tar.gz ./ && cd -" it is a bad way I think. If tar can do it directly, it is cool. [07:16] I never knew that you could do that [07:16] I was wondering how do I set a icon folder path to /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps, It doesn't find my icons in that folder [07:16] how can i search the entire filesystem (including places like /sys) for a file named proc? the usual "find" command gets stuck in a loop (i think the tree in /sys is self-referencing or endless) [07:16] how to back synaptic sources and keys? so they can be use to re-install the same sofware on a different machine? [07:16] nbingham, Using the locate command? /proc is an actually directory though [07:17] !clone > basajaun [07:17] basajaun, please see my private message [07:17] Hm [07:17] nbingham: the find command does not get stuck when looking for a file named proc. [07:18] techwizrd, it works (thanks) :) [07:18] The nVidia driver thinks my CRT is display 0 [07:18] nbingham, You're welcome. [07:18] #/join isfahanlug [07:18] RudyValencia, You can configure multiple displays using System > Preferences > Monitors [07:19] bullgard4_, didn't say it did, i think it gets stuck in /sys, because my /sys/class/sound (at least) is self-referencing and endless [07:19] techwizrd: my laptop uses the nvidia-96 driver [07:19] bazhang: packages have been cleared from this machine with apt-get clean for space reason , list of install packages is of course usable but looking for a way to re-install repositories especially the ones that are not ubuntu [07:20] bazhang are you there? [07:20] basajaun, for packages, use 'dpkg --get-selections > packagelist' to backup which packages you've installed. [07:20] guys i just opened a folder with vlc now all folders open with vlc. how to change this? [07:21] sanu01: right click a folder -> open with -> file browser, and make sure the "always use..." checkbox is checked...and next time you open a folder with vlc, make sure you *un*check that [07:21] sanu01, right click a folder and click properties. go to open with and change it from vlc to file manager, [07:21] ok [07:21] nbingham: If your /sys/class/sound is self-referencing, you better fix this first and then start the find program again. [07:21] morning. Can anyone please tell me why is it that when l create a folder , document or copy files and folders on my ubuntu server via my window machines I get a icon on the folder or document that looks like a padlock and it won't let me put those files and folders to disc when I do backups? [07:21] techwizrd: I don't think you understand what's happening === histo_ is now known as histo [07:22] * earthshade is crying tears of anger [07:22] bullgard4_, i'm trying to... [07:22] johnathan [07:22] im confused [07:22] how are you connecting to it [07:22] <_nix00> pibarnas: I get it , use this tar -cvzpf package.tar.gz -C dir . [07:22] my gnome-panel doesn't appear on my LCD. It's running because I can press Ctrl+F1 and get the main menu [07:22] techwizrd, thanks that solved it:) [07:22] <_nix00> i tried it before, but failed ,because I lose "." XD === eskil is now known as Guest57009 [07:23] <_nix00> now it 's i want. [07:23] I have a folder shared on the server and when l create files or folders on my window machines and then save it to the server. [07:23] techwizrd: Do you think I should try reinstalling with 10.10? [07:23] but then it shows me a padlock icon on the file or folder [07:23] I don't know how to file a bug otherwise I'd do so [07:23] earthshade, You can try. What're you running right now? 10.10? [07:23] johnathan, that would be a permissions issue [07:23] hm [07:23] techwizrd: 10.04 I think... [07:24] it wont let you open the file i assume? [07:24] how do l change that if the file or folder is created on the window machines? [07:24] RudyValencia, Well, obviously gnome-panel has not crashed. Do you have more than 1 monitor? [07:24] techwizrd: I used the latest wubi... What version IS that? [07:24] is the server fat32 or ntfs [07:24] co l tried changing it on the server but its all greyed out [07:24] johnathan, same as always, try chown and chmod [07:24] earthshade, You can check by going to system monitor and click on the first tab. [07:24] yeah i maybe confused at what you'er saying mang === sanu01 is now known as vadi01 [07:25] techwizrd: Computer is off... Im in bed... [07:25] I think its ntfs [07:25] techwizrd: My laptop has its built-in LCD and a VGA out port [07:25] I have nothing plugged into the VGA out poty [07:25] *port [07:25] RudyValencia, Then there is only one display. display 0, the default display. [07:25] yes [07:25] but the gnome-panel isn't displaying. [07:25] techwizrd: my question is about repos not package list [07:26] RudyValencia, Are you sure you didn't autohide youre panels by accident? I have mine set to always autohide. [07:26] I want it to hid [07:26] *hide [07:26] basajaun, I usually just write the repos down. [07:26] but it won't show at all even if it's not auto-hiding [07:26] RudyValencia do you know if it's libavcodec-extra-52 that provides the codec for libmp3lame? [07:27] I don't know [07:27] RudyValencia, I don't know why that is. [07:27] is there a log of some kind for it? [07:27] Hello [07:27] suigeneris, Why don't you install ubuntu-restricted-extras? [07:27] because looking at the X logs it doesn't say anything [07:27] I am a noob and i want to install this: http://www.palmix.org/r5u870-en.html [07:27] can anyone help me? [07:28] ? [07:28] MSPHKING, What is your kernel version? [07:28] MSPHKING, dead project, good luck with that [07:28] i don't know what kernal version i have [07:28] was anyone able to make a bootable usb thumbdrive for ubuntu 10.10 for a laptop with no dvdrom drive? [07:28] i had installed it and it ran fine on 10.4 [07:28] now i've done a fresh install of 10.10 [07:29] techwizrd because mencoder perfectly works on one of my boxes, on the other it says can't find the encoder for libmp3lame, but neither of them has ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:29] RudyValencia, I honestly have no clue. My panels used to get stuck in the hidden state. [07:29] @Manuel yes, thats how i installed on my laptop, [07:29] I guess it's back to Windows for this laptop :( [07:29] MSPHKING, What's your kernel version. [07:29] what program did you use to make the usb bootable? [07:29] MSPHKING, Download it, extract it, now go to terminal and go to that directory using cd command. [07:30] i went to that die [07:30] *dir [07:30] and typed make [07:30] i get some errors [07:30] MSPHKING: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:30] MSPHKING, Now use sudo ./configure, then sudo make, and sudo install or sudo make install [07:30] Krishnandu, they have debian packaged availible [07:30] techwizrd i don't know wich kernal [07:30] MSPHKING: you need the kernel headers [07:31] ok techwizrd thank will do same [07:31] where do i get them [07:31] MSPHKING, type 'uname -r' into the terminal and tell me what it says [07:31] techwizrd, Ohh Sorry I didn't saw that. [07:31] bazhang thanks [07:31] _nix00: for i in $(ls -la | grep -E '^(.)'); do tar -czvf testes/files.tar.gz $i; done [07:31] 2.6.35-22-generic [07:31] MSPHKING, Then just download that .deb package and double click it. [07:31] _nix00: =) [07:31] Ok, good. [07:32] MSPHKING: type sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [07:33] MSPHKING, You're going to need to compile it. Download this: http://www.palmix.org/download/r5u870-0.10.1.tar.gz [07:33] yay! I got it to work! [07:33] techwizrd, is it possible that i need to disable automatic login? [07:34] MSPHKING, Extract it and cd into the folder. [07:34] techwizrd: having the panel not hidden works, but when I set it to hide it won't work [07:34] fresh install of 10.10 on a macbookpro 3,1 and my touchpad is intermittently unresponsive [07:34] ninjamasks, It's possible. Automatic login is done by the gdm I think. [07:34] techwizrd what I needed was libavcodec52-extra [07:34] I want to be able to hide it like on Windows [07:34] I'm back [07:34] if i swipe across the touchpad real slow, it stops moving like 2-3 times for a half second each [07:34] RudyValencia, gnome-panel has frequent problems with panels hiding. Mine are autohiddent all the time. [07:34] Something happened [07:34] Anyway, what do i do? [07:35] MSPHKING_, did you follow the instructions we just told you? [07:35] Is there an alternative that I can use that won't fail like that? [07:35] If not I'm putting Windows back on the laptop [07:35] techwizrd, theres an option to start recovery console as the default session.... [07:36] and also user defined session [07:36] Sorry, no, my internet stopped or something and i had to refresh the freenode webchat page [07:36] _nix00: the correct regex: ls -la | cut -c60- | grep -E '^[\.]' [07:36] RudyValencia, I've got no clue. There are alternative panels, like lxpanel and the kde panel. [07:36] I have an idea [07:36] MSPHKING_, Ok. Did you install the kernel headers like we asked? [07:36] maybe I can set it to be at 1200 all the time [07:36] No, where do i get them? [07:36] and then see if it'll auto-hide [07:37] _nix00: I think that's it. And I HURRA for bash history! =) === Freejack is now known as Guest68041 [07:37] MSPHKING_, Paste this 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)' into a terminal [07:37] done [07:37] MSPHKING_, Did it actually install stuff? [07:38] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [07:38] before that it says "linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic is already the newest version. " [07:38] So i think that means i already have that? [07:38] MSPHKING_, then you already had the headers [07:38] let's see if setting the y value helps [07:38] (in gconf-editor) [07:39] nope [07:39] maybe i downloaded the wrong tar.gz, there are a few of them on the page [07:39] MSPHKING_, Are you running 32-bit ubuntu or 64-bit ubuntu? [07:39] 32bit [07:39] 10.10 [07:39] !proxy | blue1 [07:40] !proxy | Blue1 [07:40] MSPHKING_, Wait, are you running 32-bit or 64-bit? [07:40] 32 bit! [07:40] Krishnandu: niente [07:40] MSPHKING_, Okay. Download this: http://www.palmix.org/download/r5u870_k2.6.30_i386.tar.bz2 [07:40] Blue1, What?? :O [07:40] > can anybody tell me how to get the specifications of comcast's NGOD(next generation on demand ) [07:40] Krishnandu: sorry italian for nothing [07:40] Base 3.2.1: "Error updating the current record. Invalid argument in JDBC call: parameter index out of range: 2. SQL Status: SOO 10. Error code: -62." Should I report this error to Launchpad, or is it easily to fix? [07:40] OK, last-ditch effort. [07:40] nope [07:40] !it | Blue1 [07:40] Blue1: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [07:41] still not displaying [07:41] downloaded [07:41] Krishnandu: no no just first thing that came to mind. [07:41] Blue1, Ohh :) [07:41] should i extract it to my home folder now? [07:41] MSPHKING_, yes [07:41] MSPHKING_, Extract it and follow the instrutions on the page about make, make install, etc. [07:41] Krishnandu: i am in southern az, fwiw [07:42] oh well, missed jackie89 [07:42] OK this laptop is going back to Windows :( [07:42] MSPHKING_: you'll probably also need "sudo apt-get install build-essential" [07:43] extracted [07:43] techwizrd, that did it. had to disable auto login. [07:43] techwizrd, What happnd to that .deb package?? [07:43] MSPHKING_, You'll probably need to install build-essential like jamfade said [07:43] ninjamasks, Awesome [07:43] ：（ [07:43] Krishnandu, The debs are for a different kernel version [07:43] installing the build essential thing [07:44] techwizrd, Aww... [07:45] RudyValencia: "going back" why would you change to anything other than what was installed on it? [07:45] lucent: I wanted to run something other than Windows on it [07:45] ...looks like it won't. [07:46] RudyValencia, Have you tried Kubuntu? [07:46] RudyValencia, What happened to ubuntu?? [07:46] RudyValencia, Or Lubuntu? [07:46] Bliepo, got the solution.. [07:46] KDE runs horribly on it [07:46] and I hate other window managers [07:46] ok [07:46] the build essential thing is done [07:47] should i do make and make install now [07:47] RudyValencia, You can use metacity with LXDE. [07:47] * lapion just needed some sleep, so the following morning he could have gotton a freh perspective and used -no-remote [07:47] MSHughes, Yes [07:47] MSPHKING_, Follow the instructions on the page about make, make install, etc. [07:47] techwizrd: I want a desktop that operates like Windows and GNOME is the only one I know that does [07:48] i still get the errors! [07:48] RudyValencia, Hey whats the prblm wth Ubuntu?? [07:48] RudyValencia: like windows? [07:48] Krishnandu: the gnome panel won't display if I set it to hide (like I do on Windows) [07:48] MSPHKING_, Go to terminal > change it to that directory using cd...done that??? [07:48] Krishnandu, gnome-panel has been beeing absurd [07:48] i am in the dir [07:49] RudyValencia, Then don't hide it..!! Simple solution..!! :P [07:49] I want it to hide like it can on Windows [07:49] MSPHKING_, do ./configure [07:49] \quit [07:49] RudyValencia, how do you set it to hide.. === spvensko__ is now known as spvensko_ [07:49] I right-click on it, and choose properties [07:49] bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [07:49] RudyValencia, You can have hide buttons or autohide. For autohide, it displays when you move more mouse to the very edge of the screen [07:49] and then check the "autohide" box [07:50] RudyValencia, do you use the hide buttons or just set it to autohide ? [07:50] MSPHKING_, Just do make [07:50] MSPHKING_, it'll be helpful to know what errors [07:50] I set it to autohide [07:50] there is no ./configure [07:50] RudyValencia, Autohide works fine for me buddy [07:50] not hide buttons [07:50] for me it's not working [07:50] on a dell inspiron 8200 [07:50] RudyValencia, it's not autohiding ? [07:50] lapion: it's not appearing at all [07:50] http://pastebin.com/qAhzvZJ1 [07:50] RudyValencia, Do the panels show when you move your mouse all the way to the edge of the screen where panel should be? [07:51] The main US repo is down? [07:51] no [07:51] it doesn't appear at all [07:51] (unless I turn off autohide) [07:51] why does php5-fpm not exist in the aptitude repository? [07:51] RudyValencia, Autohide means it completely dissapears unless your mouse is all the way at the edge [07:51] RudyValencia, If it doesn't shows atall how do you turn off autohide?? [07:51] I know what autohide is [07:51] Krishnandu: I have to use gconf-editor to disable it [07:51] Karen_m: it's in 10.10's repo... [07:51] I need openssh and us.archive.ubuntu.com is down?????????????? [07:52] either that or killall gnome-panel [07:52] RudyValencia, hmm..!! Gr8..!! [07:52] (which causes it to reload and it works) [07:52] ??? [07:52] Looks like something is wrong with your panel [07:52] so when it autohides it never reappears ? [07:52] maco: it is down.. [07:52] the repo [07:52] RudyValencia, try dpkg-reconfigure gnome-panel [07:52] when I set it to autohide it works for the session duration [07:52] maco, is there a way for me to install it without upgrading to 10.10? [07:52] Hey guys. I know this isn't exactly the right place to ask this, but I was wondering if anyone in here would be able to help me out with Aircrack-ng [07:53] TheSarge: im having to problem pinging it [07:53] i forget why i had to go back to 10.04, but i do not want 10.10 [07:53] and then after I log back in it never appears unless I either kill gnome-panel or use gconf-editor to turn off autohide [07:53] Karen_m: you could download the source package from 10.10 and locally rebuild it into a deb that might work wtih 10.04's php [07:53] maco: You are or are not having a problem? [07:53] TheSarge: no [07:54] oh [07:54] RudyValencia, Have you tried resetting the configs for gnome-panel? [07:54] TheSarge: it responds to pings just fine when i try. however, it is also round-robin'd to 3 different servers, so... [07:54] but then I get Ubuntu standard panel widgets [07:54] TheSarge: this is the one im getting 91.189.88.40 [07:54] RudyValencia, like 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-panel' [07:54] I want my panel Windows-like [07:54] Has anyone here ever had any experience with Aircrack-ng? [07:54] What should i do? techwizrd Krishnandu jamfade http://pastebin.com/qAhzvZJ1 [07:54] MSPHKING_, you're gonna have to mess with the code. I was hoping it was some missing lib. [07:54] RudyValencia, Have you tried DockbarX? It's like the Winows 7 panel. [07:54] /topic # [07:54] crap [07:54] techwizrd: um that won't change RudyValencia's user's config settings for the panel [07:55] (GNOME menu, program buttons, notification area, clock, show desktop) [07:55] RudyValencia, sometimes when you want something to work you have to start configuring anew.. [07:55] how come it worked on 10.4 [07:55] !resetpanels | RudyValencia [07:55] RudyValencia: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [07:55] I tried that === Guest48460 is now known as jussi [07:55] and then set the panels how I wanted them [07:55] what exactly do i have to "mess" with? [07:55] and it still doesn't work [07:55] Can anyone tell me how to enable root logins via SSH in openssh? [07:55] I need remote root access [07:55] RudyValencia, how do you get the panels to appear like windows panels ? [07:55] TheSarge: use sudo ? === leon is now known as Guest75356 [07:55] i cannot remember why 10.10 was broken for me! [07:55] logining in as root or using SU is not working [07:55] lapion: I put the following in a panel: [07:56] is there a channel log here? [07:56] TheSarge: no. [07:56] lucent: I have my root password enabled [07:56] TheSarge: you need to use sudo [07:56] !sudo | TheSarge [07:56] TheSarge: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [07:56] TheSarge: root ssh access is doing it the wrong way, there is no reason to do that [07:56] I know what sudo is I do not use it I use a root password [07:56] sorry gotto runn [07:56] Okay, how'd I patch my kernel manually *without* messing package management up? [07:56] !1984 | Karen_m [07:56] Karen_m: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [07:56] That is the way I want to do it, how do you enable root logins via openssh? [07:56] TheSarge: it's an option in the config file === pionar is now known as gdub [07:56] lapion: I put the following in a panel: main menu, window list, notification area, indicator applet, clock, show desktop === gdub is now known as pionar [07:57] Gnea: I couldn't find any option.. [07:57] in that order [07:57] MSPHKING_, r5u870/usbcam/usbcam_util.c lines 163, 166 and 177. Different kernel, different source. Find out with what kernel it worked, take that source look at those line numbers. [07:57] TheSarge: it's in sshd_config, just do a search for root [07:57] !noroot | TheSarge [07:57] TheSarge: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [07:58] TheSarge: PermitRootLogin [07:58] Jordan_U: I don't care.. It is my machine... [07:58] Jordan_U: there's no use arguing it [07:58] ...is a very stupid idea, and thank you rww for answering the question [07:58] I have been using a root password for 12 years. I am responsible for my own security. [07:58] RudyValencia, I don't see why your panel would refuse to appear when you set it to autohide. [07:58] TheSarge: and restart sshd with "sudo service ssh restart" when you're done editing. [07:58] I don't know why either [07:58] yo [07:58] there's nothing in the logs to indicate why it's not working [07:58] MSPHKING_, and even then it may not work with your current kernel. [07:59] rww: Thx, wasnt in the sample [07:59] my laptop can only use nvidia-96 [07:59] (not any newer driver) [07:59] I am on a live USB system, is there a default password for sudo , root ? [07:59] can anyone explain why I might have a consistent 2-4 second delay for any menu-click, or right-click? [07:59] TheSarge: I note that I've never actually turned it on, so it may or may not actually work ;) [07:59] Is my "current" kernal diffrent from the 10.4 kernal [07:59] RudyValencia, you're driver should have nothing to do with it [07:59] RudyValencia: Yeah, have that too, is sucky =( [07:59] MSPHKING_, Yes it is [07:59] I don't know [07:59] MSPHKING_, The project you're referring to has not been updated since 2009 because it's closed [08:00] what should i set my compiz to to make it a cube i tryed changin settings but it stays on the wall one [08:00] aubrey616: No. The user "ubuntu" has an empty password and can use sudo without entering a password. [08:00] if sudo -i works thats just as insecure via ssh anyways lol. [08:00] aubrey616: sudo -i will get you there [08:00] hi can anyone help me please. I have tried changing the permissions on my window machines where l have created the files or folders from ready only to making it uncheked but if I go back and check to make sure it saved it, it just makes them checked again. [08:00] fizz, Have you installed compizconfig-settings-manager? [08:00] and I actually discovered something [08:00] it doesn't show at all even if autohide is off [08:00] Should i try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1592330 ??? [08:01] i tried to but when i typed the command it said it was not found [08:01] MSPHKING_, yes [08:01] techwizrd: heh. [08:01] k === BJMA_ is now known as BJMA [08:01] that was awesome. [08:01] its installed thoung i see it in the menu [08:01] Gnea, thanks [08:01] Sudo -i is freaking disabled in openssh as well!????? [08:01] Jordan_U, thanks [08:01] fizz, try this 'sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager' [08:02] I think I'll just install Windows on this laptop now. [08:02] omg [08:02] aubrey616: You're welcome. [08:02] fizz, if it's installed, that's good [08:02] hi can anyone help me please.

[08:04] aubrey616: You need to partition it first, having a filesystem without a partition table is just asking for trouble. [08:04] yay [08:04] Going [08:04] To [08:04] johnathan, where are the windows hdds? [08:04] i got it to work [08:04] Sleep [08:04] Thanks everyone [08:05] in my windows machines [08:05] MSPHKING_, gz! [08:05] * RudyValencia may have a solution [08:05] just a sec [08:05] aubrey616: Gparted will do the partitioning and filesystem creation for you. [08:05] johnathan, so you're doing this remotely? [08:05] aubrey616: preferred to have a partition table on it with gparted, though note if you need to create a bootable USB stick that can do FREEDOS (for updating PC BIOS firmware) then whole-device FAT16 filesystem is needed [08:05] no I thought I did [08:05] :( [08:05] I have a server machine and then l have 2 other window desktops and 2 window laptops connected to the ubuntu server desktop [08:05] still won't work [08:05] I give up [08:05] RudyValencia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[08:07] how you mean? [08:07] Im accessing my windows drivers via my windows machines or laptops [08:07] aubrey616: one more nerdy factoid, if you start the first partition at 1MiB, performance will be much better. It doesnt make any difference (and you lose 1mb space) for most configurations, but "1MiB alignment" helps performance on high capacity remmovable storage devices [08:08] lucent, lol, thanks, i will make it so [08:08] wow how long do you have to idle in defocus to get a voice?

[08:14] ok, i have the property drivers installed, then when i activate the wireless card, it works ok [08:14] what's a property? [08:14] "property" do you mean the closed-source ? or something else [08:15] proprietary [08:15] sorry 'owner driver' [08:15] where should i ask about vmware? [08:15] I'm failing here [08:15] I'm still lost. where did you get the driver from? [08:15] I'm guessing property=proprietary [08:15] language issue and no patience for it [08:15] but when i shutdown, or restart my pc i need to activate again, it not save the activation [08:15] understand? [08:16] BichoGRILO: kind of. where did you get the driver from? [08:16] fep: I guess anyone who knows about vmware, or... if it's closed-source, ask the vendor [08:16] I'm kind of only hip to KVM [08:16] from the package [08:16] BichoGRILO: please be specific.

[08:18] so, i activate it, but when i restart my pc i need to activate it again [08:18] Nonesthecool: I'm thinking he's just a troll [08:18] aways [08:18] Nonesthecool: or he just doesn't understand english well [08:18] Funhouse: concurrently, I think. It depends on the cron daemon to be clear [08:18] I wonder if VMware is a kind of a server you can "start and close like a program" , or does it run in the background permanently when installed? I need a WMware like software that i can start and close like a program (wich boot into another OS, like XP) [08:18] BichoGRILO: is english your first language? [08:18] Italian is my bet.

[08:19] BichoGRILO: your English is good, the problem is the computer words [08:20] BichoGRILO: because you don't seem to understand what it is I'm asking [08:20] BichoGRILO: and unless you can understand what I am asking, we're not going to get anywhere [08:20] wait gnea [08:20] yes? [08:20] lets go [08:20] Google has a great translator :) [08:20] yeap [08:20] d'oh [08:20] good point lol [08:20] "my driver is installed" - okay, but I don't understand, what company makes your computer device? Which driver is installed, is there a name for it? [08:21] when I enable my wireless network card it works normally, but after I turn off or restart the pc i need to activate it again [08:21] broadcom [08:21] BichoGRILO: ¿Dónde descargar el controlador desde? [08:21] okay, broadcom... that is good information [08:22] came with the installation cd [08:22] i dont want it to eat memory when i dont use it [08:22] tarzeau: i want to run win xp on it, and i use ubuntu [08:22] there are only two Broadcom drivers on the installation CD, that increases your chances to 50%! [08:22] rww: I like the encouragement. [08:23] i was disconnected for a sec, so let me repeat my question. sorry for that. : I wonder if VMware is a kind of a server you can "start and close like a program" , or does it run in the background permanently when installed? I need a WMware like software that i can start and close like a program (wich boot into another OS, like XP) [08:23] BichoGRILO: Broadcom es el integrado en el equipo o es usb? [08:23] anyone used the 4 locos boot loader ? [08:23] BichoGRILO: como activas la tarjeta? [08:23] the card works normally, but after I reboot and check the additional drivers shows "This driver is enabled but is not currently in use ' [08:24] broadcom is integrated [08:24] fep: that level of integration, I haven't seen a VM that will do it for something as uh - retarded - as Windows XP [08:24] i active with the utility [08:24] BichoGRILO: okay, who makes your laptop? [08:24] lucent: it will be a test box, ofcourse, that is not retarded. [08:24] acer 'aspire 5516' [08:24] BichoGRILO: escribe el nombre del modulo en /etc/modules [08:25] lol @fep [08:25] fep: I meant "retarded" as a description of Windows XP's core functionality, it requires realmode calls and a lot of, I don't know it's just short of magic trying to make it do anything useful in a VM from a programming standpoint [08:25] Umm, isn't english required inn here?

[08:26] HDD space, that is [08:26] yes [08:26] BichoGRILO: para conocer el modulo escribe en una terminal (antes de activar la tarjeta) lsmod > ~/lsmod.antes [08:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/516684/ [08:26] lucent: but my question is really, if i install wmware server, does it start and close like a program, or will it be a server "integrated" in my ubuntu OS that eat memory? [08:26] fep: trying to find a VM doing what you want is, trying to find an answer to the near-impossible or at least very difficult problem of running Win XP in a VM at all [08:26] TheSarge: we also don't promote the use of root passwords, so hush up [08:27] fep: like, always locking memory away from your main OS? [08:27] BichoGRILO: luego activa la tarjeta y haz lsmod > ~/lsmod.desp [08:27] lucent: yes [08:27] fep: probably. [08:27] ok, that was what i feared [08:27] fep: Xen would lock memory the whole time, not just while your VM ran [08:27] Gnea: So it isnt against channel policy to ask howto enable root logins in and ftp server.. So you STFu troll. [08:27] i need to shut it down easely, when i dont use it [08:28] What's the easiest way to set up an LXDE session to test.

Keep in mind that the total time will depend on how many extra-programs you need and also keep in mind that newer software versions may cause incompatibility with your current settings.

[10:06] jakewc2, if you have already lost everything you can create a new partitions scheme; the most common one is to create 3 partitions: root ( / ), swap and /home.

[10:22] how do i install a package whose dependency is not satisfied and not have the software center freak out afterwards? [10:22] Boogieman: is that a message for me, I am not sure what you mena. I did highlight, but dont know what setting ex for mount point means [10:22] how do I do that [10:23] Karen_m: great :) [10:23] when you choose manual partition setup, highlight the old partition where ubuntu was. then i think you click on edit and set the mountpoint. i just chose / there.

[10:24] for example you could set / as mount point. or if you had different root and home the tell it wich [artitions are the root and /home [10:24] damian_-_: it's a .deb file, i used dpkg [10:24] err.. i have the file usbdrive/syslinux/isolinux.bin instead of usbdrive/syslinux/syslinux.bin .. is that okay?

If you are just wanting to add/remove symlinks to init scripts, use the update-rc.d utility. Keep in mind that many init scripts are now converted to upstart jobs. [10:25] damian_-_: and both software center and aptitude freak out [10:25] its a broken system im not sure there is much you can do [10:25] they insist on deleting the package i just installed because it has an unsatisfied dependency [10:25] highlight the old ubuntu partition and click edit. tell it to use / as mount point. then click ok and next or whatever [10:26] I may get shot for asking this, but does Ubuntu have something like Windows 7 snap?

Is there any way to do this? If not, can I get a list of directories created without checking each dir?

[10:33] sipior: yes, but i dont know which parent directories existed already [10:33] how do i get synaptic to ignore gpg keys? for repo's that dont have them. there was a way but i forgot [10:33] sipior: and checking that seems kind of un-elegant [10:33] altough u can use clamav in case u use any email server like sendmail or postfix or qmail etc [10:34] sipior: I need s.th. like mkdir -p -m 700 --chown me:group dir/to/file [10:34] ok, dont know what I did but had to change somethign, when I deleted it, then I actually found the / to start, and its now copying files. That is so confusing. [10:34] rweng: not sure i follow you. you've just created the directories programmatically. why not issue the the chown &cet. on the same path your script just generated? [10:35] my system will only boot to Memtest86 v4.00 and I can't get past it? [10:35] I deleted the partition that i want to install, then i restart the install and select "use continous free space". [10:35] What is a good tool to easily create shortcuts for ssh sessions to different hosts? [10:35] Then it worked me. [10:35] Thanks to Galileon for this tip. [10:35] calm isnt great,, recommend putting avast in wine [10:35] sipior: i want to change the owner of the parent directories that was created [10:36] well, at the moment it is installing Ubuntu, hopefully it will work. [10:36] rweng: right, and you just generated that path in your script for the mkdir command. why not simply pass the same to chown? [10:36]  [10:36] sipior: mkdir -p /my/little/test/dir creates folder test and folder dir, if my and little exist [10:36] rweng: simply follow that with "chown /my/little/test/dir" [10:37] sipior: that changes the owner of dir, not of folder "test" [10:37] Is it possible to power off the parport devices through software ? [10:37] hi! how do I install Acrobat Reader from Adobe? [10:37] if maybe mkdir -p also created folder little, so we might need to change this owner too [10:38] rweng: then simply snip off the end of that path. try "dirname". [10:38] sipior: nevermidn [10:38]  [10:38] does anyone know where i can get a -dbgsym package for a maverick library? [10:38] JigSaw-2: Why would there be a reason to do so? [10:38] anyone know how to get past a Memtest on boot [10:39] sipior: or how would you make that? I dont understand. so I have mkdir /var/www/abc/test/myfolder [10:39] minimec, I needed for some reason [10:39] jakewc2: good job [10:39] rweng: have a look here: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [10:39] sipior: how would you change the owner of the folders that were created by mkdir -p, including the parents that were created [10:39] i installed libev by directly downloading debs from here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libev, but i don't know how to find the debug symbol package [10:40] rweng: are you looking to set owner recursively? If so used chown -R username /path and everything under /path will be owner by 'username' [10:40] meodox: no, i dont want everything to be chowned, only the folders created my mkdir -p [10:41] JigSaw-2: Well... The parallel ports are recognized and integrated in the system during boot. If you don't want the parallel ports, you would have to blacklist the drivers in /etc/modprobe.d ... Still I se no reason to do so, as normally only the cups server has access to the paralllel ports (group lp)... [10:41] minimec, Is there any way to do so ? [10:41] sipior: sure you can write a script that does that, but there must be a better way. mkdir -m takes care of the chmoding, now i just need s.th. alike for the chowning. Thought of an environment variable or so [10:41] JigSaw-2: Well... The parallel ports are recognized and integrated in the system during boot. If you don't want the parallel ports, you would have to blacklist the drivers in /etc/modprobe.d ... Still I se no reason to do so, as normally only the cups server has access to the paralllel ports (group lp)... [10:42] rweng: that's not possible, you have to use if tests and mkdir without -p then. if [ -d "/folder" ]; then do something on the next lines and end with fi on a line of its own for readability. [10:42] rweng: why must there be a better way? [10:42] rweng: i mean, i appreciate the optimism, but... :-) [10:42] anyone know the best way of reverting a package plus dependencies from maverick to lucids? [10:42] in particular, samba [10:43] sipior: well, that was the question, whether there is a better way [10:45] rweng: everything under /var/www should be owned by www-data.www-data, problem solved ;-) [10:45] meadox: well, i am writing a script that created the structure /var/www/user/domains - what wrong with that? [10:45] After an update of lucid today, I usually cannot connect to WeDAV shares via the GNOME desktop anymore. [10:46] meadon: why everything to www-data, then other users are able to see the domains of different users [10:46] I get the following error message: “DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)” [10:46] rweng: there's nothing wrong with that, I just fail to see the need to set the owner the way you want. [10:46] JigSaw-2: Blacklist parport0 Howto <-- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1138455 [10:46] rweng: if you need anyone else to write to the dirs you should add those users to the www-data group. [10:46] WeDAV → WebDAV [10:46] meadox: I dont want users to see the domains of other users [10:47] meadox: or look through their directories [10:47] minimec, I want to use the parport0, but whenever someone cancel the job, I just want to power off the printer and the again power on. === Chousuke_ is now known as Chousuke [10:47] rweng: then maybe consider using Alias in Apache. [10:48] maedox: to do what? [10:48] can i try clutter-ui on ubuntu? [10:48] What's the easiest way to set up an LXDE session to test. I kind of want to try it out buy I don't want to trash my gnome. [10:48] rweng: if the hierarchy is /var/www/username, then why don't you just chown -R username /var/www/username ? [10:49] JigSaw-2: You have to check the printer queue. If there are no more jobs to do, the printer should be ready for printing. That is rather a cups server story, not a parallelport story. [10:50] maedox: because in this directory I have other directories that belong to root. like statistics etc [10:51] antIP: burning a lubuntu cd would be a way to look at it [10:51] If I want to run an lxde session in ubuntu do I just need to install lxde and then log out and log back in using LXDE session? [10:51] antIP: chose lxde-sesseion when logging in in gdm [10:52] rweng: I guess you know the names of those root-owned folders, so just finish with chown -R root /var/www/username/rootstuff [10:52] llutz: Thanks. Do you think it will mess up my gnome at all? (I don't have experience booting into multiple desktop environments.) [10:53] antIP: it shouldn't affect gnome-sessions [10:53] i'd like to link 'unanswered posts' from ubuntu forum on my website. unanswered question link contains "searchid" - can you generate one link for current unanswered forum posts? [10:53] llutz_ I just want to be safe [10:53] llutz_ Thanks [10:53] maedox: ok, thanks [10:53] for anyone curious, i found the dbgsyms here http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/universe/libe/libev/ [10:54] antIP: http://www.ohbuntu.blogspot.com/2010/02/lubuntu-install-lxde-in-ubuntu.html [10:54] Where can you download more visual effects at? I saw a video with someone using a visual effect of the page appearing and disappearing in flames when he opened/closed it, so I want to look for that. [10:54] jacob_, compiz-plugins-extra is what you're after. [10:54] It's in the repos. [10:54] DeaCon: Yeah, I saw that in Google too, but it's for Karmic so I wasn't sure if it was up to date. [10:55] hi all i cant find wintricks or a ;pa for it to add to ubuntu 10.04 [10:55] * ppa [10:55] mawst: wheres that at? [10:55] winetricks-help, wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks [10:56] chmod +x winetricks && sh wintricks [10:56] jacob_, it's in synaptic. [10:56] DeaCon: The big question for me is should I install lubuntu-core ("lXDE desktop as a lightweight Ubuntu environment") or full LXDE from synaptic. [10:56] jacob_, or just sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins-extra [10:56] jacob_, more of a #compiz thing though. [10:57] mawst: Thank you kindly :) [10:57] np [10:57] thanks mawst but that is not the download is it. [10:57] winetricks-help, yes. [10:57] winetricks-help, see also #winehq [10:57] antIP: if you like gnome not sure what your trying to do [10:57] DeaCon - llutz_ There are 3 different version of LXDE in synaptic: 1)LXDE, 2) lubuntu-core and 3) lubuntu-desktop. Which one should I install to get a LXDE session? [10:57] antIP: install `lubuntu-desktop`, then you can choose when you log in. [10:57] mawst: help finding teh .deb download or a ppa for it [10:57] antIP, lubuntu-desktop [10:58] winetricks-help, it's just a shell script. [10:58] I doubt anyone has made a ppa [10:58] mawst: i need the ubuntu version not found in my synaptic [10:58] Flannel: Awesome thanks mawst too. Deacon: I just want to be able to try it out. I've nver used it before and I'm interested in it. [10:58] winetricks-help, just wget it. [10:59] wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks && chmod +x winetricks && sh wintricks [10:59] Will download and run the program. [10:59] Sorry...

[11:01] With winetricks in it as well as wine, and looks like a few others [11:01] There you go jacob_. [11:01] There's your ppa. [11:01] Hi I am trying to migrate my VirtualBox version of Ubuntu 10.04 to a physical partition - how? [nooB] [11:01] hello all [11:01] i cannot have a working cd of ubuntu 10.10 [11:01] it has problem with installer [11:02] pbaxter, try the usb installer. [11:02] Flannel: Whats winetricks for? the extra visual effects? [11:02] someone knows how to install ubuntu maverick from fedora? [11:02] mawst: cannot use, my doesn't support usb install [11:02] pbaxter: install 1 distri from another one? [11:02] odb|fidel_: how? [11:03] pbaxter, chroot. [11:03] Messy, not recommended for the nub. [11:03] jacob_: No idea. [11:04] Flannel: yeah im confused now. Im just trying to find compix or w.e.after I installed the plugins-extra package [11:04] compiz* [11:04] i'd like to link 'unanswered posts' from ubuntu forum on my website. unanswered posts tool contains "searchid" - can you generate one URL for current unanswered forum threads?

Sorry someone lead you into the brush. Compiz is installed by default, what you're probably looking for is a way to configure it. [11:05] !ccsm | jacob_ [11:05] jacob_: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [11:06] Flannel: Thanks tons man :D [11:06] I installed some new Nvidia drivers yesterday.

[11:30] MegaHerz, you can, try installing guest additions [11:30] djogli: I installed them all [11:34] trojan_spike: any clues about what I should look for in my BIOS? I couldn't find anything that might suggest anything about setting up the bootloader... [11:36] Googie: the BIOS usually don't care about a boot loader [11:36] it just reads the boot sector (MBR) of any bootable device [11:36] any top tips for upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04? [11:36] no boot loader options,, just at end it asks to save/exit and set defaults etc,, there's an F(short key) for it but i forget it.. Ive had the problem where it wouldn't boot,, and after setting default it booted into grub loader.. [11:36] hai [11:36] hi, where can i find a win32 executable of the usbcreator? the version coming with ubuntu is borked :-/ [11:37] i need open soloaries s/w need any body help me., [11:37] Googie: the boot sector tells the computer to load some file off the disk, and then the system bootstraps the OS. There's a LOT more to it than that, but that's the gist. [11:37] how do I get sound pref to know about my usb speakers? they are plugged in and they show up in lsusb [11:37] webspherekarthi: not in here. [11:38] when i start my computer i get the message saying Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported [11:38] #opensolaris webspherekarthi [11:38] quietone, sound pref ,, there's 5.1 / 7.1 etc .. [11:39] thanks friends., [11:39] ectospasm: & trojan_spike: thanks... I'll try to use the BIOS defaults and check if it boots [11:39] Googie: may want to check the boot order [11:40] hi all, having upgraded to 10.10 on my main laptop it now won't boot, it drops to the cli and says something about tty1 then completely crashes and powers off. im trying failsafe now but its stuck on "booting the kernel" any ideas? [11:40] quietone, sound pref/ hardware/profile [11:40] Googie: some BIOSes tell you what devices it sees that can be booted [11:40] when i start my computer i get the message saying Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported [11:40] default will find it [11:40] Googie: some separate the list into HDDs and everything else [11:41] Googie: depending on the BIOS a USB key may be a USB HDD or something else [11:41] any idea if dual monitor can be setup with the open source radeon driver? i have an ATI radeon xpress200M card [11:41] I think the boot order is fine [11:41] sounds like a bootloader prompt george_ [11:41] now I have moved my HDD to the top of the list [11:41] trojan_spike, nothing there for the usb speakers. [11:42] still it says "Operating System not found" [11:42] uranus_gas_giant: what prompt? [11:42] Googie, u want it on default,, that way the BIOS will find it.. [11:42] Googie: can you confirm it's booting off your device? [11:42] bootloader, "GRUB" for instance.... [11:43] Googie: or trying to? [11:43] quietone, it must be a window usb speaker ,, try ubuntu forum using the make of the speaker as a reference [11:43] ok I have opened my BIOS now [11:43] in the boot device priority [11:43] my HDD is listed [11:43] uranus_gas_giant: what do i have type at grub> [11:44] all others are N/A [11:44] I would recommend finding a working kernel path and editing it in george_ [11:44] just go to where it says EXIT,, your looking for a default option [11:44] hi [11:44] trojan_spike, i have. the speakers work perfectly every time in gNewSense and XP. It is only Ubuntu that has troubles. [11:44] yes [11:44] did that [11:44] ada orang indonesia gak?

Instead I see in syslog appmor notice: audit(1287571712.392:1351362): apparmor="ALLOWED" operation="mknod" ... [11:57] mot yet, [11:57] jakewc2, out of curiosity try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [11:57] I suspect his ALLOWED flag is the answer, but where it was set? [11:57] llutz_: works. but why, if umask alone returns 0047 and does not work? [11:57] was waiting to finish updates before installing anything [11:58] rweng: no idea [11:58] <[Arnold]> hi, I ran into a problem with ubuntu 10.04 and the way it starts sevices [11:58] ok, give me a sec [11:58] <[Arnold]> i set up a virtual eth0:0 device [11:58] <[Arnold]> used by some services like apache2 [11:58] <[Arnold]> now it seems the services are started prior to the network device beeing up [11:59] <[Arnold]> so their start fails [11:59] lo there, i just installed ubuntu via the windows installer. it did install correct and after the reboot ubuntu did finish the installation, but after the second reboot grub is missing the "start ubuntu option" .. inkinda stuck with two boot menus now .. the windows start manager listing windows7 and ubuntu and after selecting ubuntu im stuck with the only "start windows" entry which brings me back to the win7 boot manager .. how do i get thi [11:59] venilsurya: nothing that should affect me, thanks [11:59] <[Arnold]> if i restart network and services manually everythings works fine [11:59] [Arnold]: I think you can set that up with update-rc.d, or you can edit scripts in /etc/rc?.d manually [11:59] <[Arnold]> but I don't want the do that on every reboot [11:59] shatly: Then I guess you can go ahead. I've been using it on a VM without any problems.... [12:00] shatly: Do you use a mic regularly? [12:00] [Arnold]: which services are you talking about? [12:00] <[Arnold]> ectospasm: there are proper links for the services for every runlevel [12:00] btw: its kinda strange that the windows installer still installs ubuntu 10.04 .. [12:00] shatly: If so, you have to wrestle with pulseaudio [12:00] <[Arnold]> maedox: mysql, apache2 plus two voice servers [12:00] i am trying to setup dual monitors ,any idea what this means http://pastebin.com/1eunf0xW it fines right to me [12:00] ok, did that, but got the error again at the end, will post postebin, one sec [12:00] venilsurya: i have no working mic atm [12:01] well, i have one on my laptop, but that is still 8.04 [12:01] where in ubuntu i can open java console? === denny- is now known as denny [12:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/516766 [12:01] dwarder: javaws -viewer or something like that [12:02] "Shotwell has replaced F-Spot as the default photo manager." fianly... i hated f-spot for editing [12:02] dwarder: advanced -> java console -> show [12:02] jakewc2, mm something is wrong./... my suggestion,, since this is a fresh install...if you have cd burning capability ..go here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD and download the minimal install cd which is about 12 megs [12:02] hi [12:03] Hello everybody.just want to know if Im heard here [12:03] jakewc2, when you run that... you will eventually get to a point that shows a list of what can be installed...scroll with arrow buttons and choose with Space bar ..DO NOT choose with Enter key [12:03] taran: no, but we read you just fine. as your question [12:03] maedox: where is that advaced? [12:03] xD [12:03] taran: ask* your question [12:03] maedox: oh.thats what I mean [12:04] jakewc2, the advantage of this install is that is downloads all current packages so no updates are necessary when you boot into the system...however this is NOT alive cd [12:04] dwarder: sorry, jcontrol then the advanced tab etc... [12:04] dwarder: assuming you use Sun Java not the IcedTea stuff. [12:05] when looking at this description http://www.linuxforen.de/forums/showthread.php?t=188638 umask is the most user unfriendly way of setting default right ever [12:05] I have ubuntu 10.10 server but want GUI instead of command line.what should I do [12:05] [Arnold]: yes, but you'll notice the stuff in /etc/rc?d/ begins with a two-digit number [12:05] Hello, I'm experiencing mouse click malfunction after clicking a JavaScript event for example "i like" in face book, i'm not totally sure about that is there anyone to confirm something close to this? [12:05] [Arnold]: S##... or K## [12:05] taran: which GUI do you want? [12:05] (GNOME, KDE, or XFCE?) [12:06] RudyValencia: something which is lightweight n good for configurations [12:06] well, I just did what was posted up there earlier, that went through, but got the error again, did sudo apt-get -f install, that then fixed it, then went back into Update Manager, and it is going through the updates, [12:06] <[Arnold]> ectospasm: http://pastebin.com/EN2gFHAg [12:06] Hm, well, I don't recommend installing a GUI on a server [12:06] so far, no errors, [12:06] [Arnold]: if you want networking to start before certain other services in your runlevel, change it so the S## for networking < S## other services [12:06] I just started using Ubuntu and i need some help, could some1 help me with installing a program? [12:06] [ [12:07] but I am comfortable on GUI [12:07] taran: openbox [12:07] hey just dropping by to say happy 6th birthday ubuntu [12:07] [Arnold]: there is probably a way to do it with update-rc.d [12:07] ama_, what kind of program [12:07] what about ratpoison?

[12:09] is there any application on ubuntu which can help me compress a 3gb avi to something reasonable which windows can play ? without loss of quality ? and I don't want to use ffmpeg....is there any gui app which can do this ? [12:09] [Arnold]: what runlevel are you in now?

It installs fine, but I cannot get my Broadcom 43xx chipset to work with it. Issue is, that I only have acces to the Internet through WiFi tethering. I have no way of connecting my system via a cable where I live now :\ I get the issue "InstallArchives() failed" when attempting to install the driver with the Restricted Drivers manager, and when I try to install the packages manually from the LiveCD ( [12:09] waskarthik, /j #freenode [12:10] taran: aptitude install x11-common slim openbox [12:10] waskarthik: /msg alis list *websphere* [12:10] greenmang0, if its 10.10 he'll first need to install aptitude [12:10] coz_: Asking to reboot, so will let you know after rebooting if that worked, one sec.

[12:10] bazhang: oh... that's right [12:10] its rebooting [12:10] jakewc2, cool [12:10] greenmang0: I have given this command sudo apt-get install openbox [12:10] anyone ? [12:11] taran: if you don't have aptitude installed go with 'apt-get' [12:11] ahh. i dont get it. i set umask in /etc/profile which gets executed, but my users umask is after the login different. I looked in /etc/bash.bashrc, ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc - none overwrites the value set in /etc/profile [12:11] is there a place I forgot? [12:11] greenmang0: I have done it [12:11] maedox: how can i open console, from which command? [12:11] taran: you will have to install x11-common and slim as well [12:12] dwarder: with openjdk/jre I don't know. As I said I use sun-java6-jdk. [12:12] ruby_on_tails: Hmnn... with a gui? Perhaps try the new Ubuntu video editor application? I have always used command line to do stuff like that, but you could also check out MediaCoder, a Gui video converter which runs fine under Linux in Wine http://wiki.mediacoderhq.com/index.php/MediaCoder_on_Linux [12:12] does exists any line command to delete Evolution from Ubuntu 10.10? thks [12:12] * [Arnold] takes a quick lunch [12:12] bazhang: why did ubuntu removed aptitude btw? [12:12] nox-Hand: the application can be on ubuntu [12:13] greenmang0: to save diskspace [12:13] greenmang0, disk space on the cd iirc [12:13] greenmang0: is it ok to install aptitude on Server also [12:13] taran: you can live happily with apt-get [12:13] coz_: yippee it worked, seems there was a dist uprade today, which isnt in the install yet. [12:13] ruby_on_tails:Not sure, mate -- it was just a suggestion [12:13] maedox: i have /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk [12:13] llutz_: bazhang ... ok [12:14] jakewc2, very cool :) [12:14] anyone? [12:14] * nox-Hand continues to google around for the Broadcom issue... not having cable net is annoying Q_Q [12:14] nox-Hand: ok np [12:14] thank you so much, I am so glad I got my pc back, doing this via a netbook, even with glases is hard work. :) [12:14] [Arnold]: try looking at upstart [12:14] when i start my computer i get the message saying Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported [12:14] I have to go through and install mstuff mI need now.

Is this a bug that I have to post? Where? And are there any quick-fixes anyone knows?

[12:17] greenmang0: yes [12:17] startx perhaps [12:17] taran: login to terminal as a root / superuser and start slim -> /etc/init.d/slim start [12:18] maedox: this is my version of java http://pastebin.com/sdqGAgYp [12:18] taran: startx should help too [12:18] maedox: ok, i will [12:18] greenmang0: but when I installed the server I did not give root password. So how to login as superuser [12:18] dwarder: yes, you told me seventeen times, I know you have openjdk :P [12:18] taran: use "sudo" [12:19] greenmang0: ok [12:19] taran: didn't you use sudo while installing packages? [12:19] greenmang0: yes I did [12:19] I cant locate my file manager under 10.10... itś gone! any ideas? [12:19] taran: ok [12:20] deut316: open terminal, run 'nautilus' ? [12:20] you could make a new shortcut with 'nautilus' in the command space [12:20] deut316: On the Panel, click Places and select something like Home or My Computer (not sure what they are called, but sure that's it... still trying to get my Ubuntu installed :P) [12:20] hi all, having upgraded to 10.10 on my main laptop it now won't boot, it drops to the cli and says something about tty1 then completely crashes and powers off. any ideas? i found a forum post that says delete tty1, is that safe? [12:21] Slasher`: what's that "something about tty1" ? [12:21] ubuntu 10.10 craig-laptop tty1 [12:22] then it asks me for my username, the cursor flashes about 3 times then it completely crashes [12:22] greenmang0: it wrote Starting x display manager slim [12:22] Slasher`: That's the default tty1 information, I believe :) That is not the cause.However, there is something making your computer crash. [12:22] when i open the computer i get a message saying Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported [12:22] taran: and then? [12:22] any idea where i should look? [12:22] i have an ubuntu 9.10 live cd booted up at the minute [12:23] ok nautilus in terminal worked.... but using netbook edition and couldn locate anywhere... will try and make a shortcut [12:23] Im not sure there is a shortcut to nautilus. i always just use the places menu and it opens it at the place i want [12:23] trouble with netbook version is one cant right click and create shortcut [12:23] !grub [12:23] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [12:24] !grub2 [12:24] 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 [12:24] just running nautilus would be the same as using the 'home' icon in the places menu i imagine. [12:24] Wow... it looks like my WiFi should work out of the box with Ubuntu 10.10... and it did in 10.04 :\ [12:25] ok rather than deleting it i just tried moving it to somewhere else temporily [12:25] i can always move it back [12:25] Annoying :( Tried both amd64 and i386 [12:25] nope that didnt work at all [12:25] grrrr [12:25] wheres my 10.04 disk lol [12:26] well added the icon... surprised I couldn locate nautilus when searching applications... this happened after updating this morning... [12:26] Any way I can get the normal, colorless volume systray icon back? gnome-volume applet is colored, and actually harder to see on at least two different systems I use (Ubuntu GNOME Desktop 10.04 and 10.10) [12:26] i have many grub enteries at boot from kernel upgrades. (ubuntu 10.04) how do i remove the older ones ? [12:27] somehow the icons disappeared and launching gnome-volume-applet is distasteful [12:27] ectospasm: I think if you just change the icon theme it should change back :) [12:27] baba_b00ie: deinstalling the old kernels [12:27] nox-Hand: OK, thanks! [12:27] (can't confirm, sorry) [12:27] greenmang0: it still did not provide a GUI [12:27] ectospasm: Which is in the Appearance settings. [12:27] iceroot, how do i do that ? [12:27] maedox: http://pastebin.com/QHXTzuqs [12:28] dwarder: sun-java6-jdk [12:28] dwarder: looks like a typo on ubuntugeek.com [12:28] OpenOffice working slow when opening file or choosing file to be made part of a presentation... How to fix this? [12:29] baba_b00ie: with synaptic e.g. [12:29] Hello! [12:29] :) [12:29] Is there an installation of Ubuntu Server that drops straight into SSH? [12:30] lvh: Install SSH and I think it should get automatically added to boot so you can SSH into the box [12:30] * Slasher` growls and mutters something about upgrades always breaking shit! [12:30] lvh: clarify what you mean. I thought the server edition included ssh.. but ive not used it ina ges [12:30] taran: install one more package [12:30] full on reinstall of the latest version should do :D [12:30] taran: apt-get install xorg [12:30] And yeah, I think it should be included already, lvh? [12:30] Dr_Willis, nox-Hand: No you misunderstand. [12:30] lvh: Sorry, please rephrase. [12:30] thats why we asked for clarification [12:30] I want the installer to boot, and immediately start listening for SSH connections. [12:30] nox-Hand: That didn't work. I'm gonna try logging out and logging back in. [12:30] lvh: no such thing that ive seen works that way [12:31] Dr_Willis: That's how I install my Debian boxes. [12:31] ectospasm: I have not yet run 10.10, so I cannot really advise you, sorry :\ [12:31] taran: what's the output of "sudo lspci" ? pastebin it [12:31] lvh: you Might be able to go to the consoles and install ssh. [12:31] greenmang0: ok.im doing it [12:31] lvh: So you can install over SSH? i.e install on a system that has no screen even during install, right? [12:31] nox-Hand: actually, this is 10.04 here. [12:31] lvh: /join #ubuntu-server [12:31] lvh: thats how ive done gentoo int he past also.. but ubuntu server dont do it that way that i know of. [12:31] I will try 10.10 when I get home [12:31] Dr_Willis: Yeah, no -- I don't have my usual keyboard/screen 1U console thing available. [12:31] i am getting this error _mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (2002, "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)") [12:31] ahoi :) if lspci -v tells me my s3 trio 64V+ has 64M ram it's likely to be wrong, right? [12:31] Dr_Willis: If I had, I would've just installed Ubuntu the usual way. [12:32] nox-Hand: yes, that's the idea [12:32] ectospasm: Ah well, I nuked my 10.04 to install 10.10, but I can't get that working at the moment.. :| No Linux right now [12:32] nox-Hand: FAI would also be acceptable [12:32] ravi_: how? [12:32] nox-Hand: heh, I usually say "no windows" which is true at the moment (-; [12:32] when i run server [12:32] lvh: Well, you can do this.. (I've done this) OPen up the LiveCD on the server, and then (test this out on another computer first so you remember) drop to a shell (tty2 for example), sudo su, install ssh or run it, and then get ssh'ing [12:33] You should be able to do it withut a screen that way. Just don't do typos :) [12:33] nox-Hand: This assumes said computer has a keyboard. [12:33] nox-Hand: It's a rackmount -- if I had my keyboard, I'd have my screen too. [12:34] lvh: the rack doesn't have a builtin kvm? [12:34] lvh: I did a full on Gentoo install where I did the first hour or so without a screen :) Ah, I see. Does the rackmount not have any standard USB/PS2 connectors you can use? [12:34] greenmang0: I will paste immediately after installing xorg [12:34] taran: ok [12:35] ectospasm: Yeah, but I don't have my console. [12:35] hi, I would like to set the output plugin of gstreamer to opengl [12:35] ectospasm: The main problem is "I don't have a screen or keyboard available." [12:35] does anybody know how to do that? [12:35] nox-Hand: It does, but I don't have keyboards to plug into them. [12:35] When using a C++ compiler, what does it compile into on Linux? Obviously not a .EXE right? [12:36] Okay, so, plan B: bolt cutters and borrowing the neighbor's console... [12:36] maedox: how do i install firefox java plugin? [12:36] lvh: Hmn.. in most cases I'd recommend nicking a keyboard off someone for an hour or two, or picking up one from a recycle shop for a dollar [12:36] maedox: from sun [12:36] Else you'll have to get creative and build your own stuff, :) [12:36] ravi_: is mysql running? [12:37] dwarder: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin or something like that. sudo apt-cache search sun-java|grep plugin [12:37] !java [12:37] 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. [12:37] lvh: How can ANYONE have a rackmount, but no old computer in the attic? :P I assume you only have your rackmount and laptop then? [12:37] lvh: he had a rummage sale. [12:38] I heard about some guy who made/used some software to make his laptop keyboard output through a USB to USB cable to another computer... can't find it now though [12:38] nox-Hand: "being in a data center 100km away from said attic" [12:38] Hi all, how to restrict hosts manually override ip configuration with dhcp? [12:39] nox-Hand: "figuring out only upon arrival someone decided to take said console and not bring it back" [12:39] greenmang0: I have got the .png file but is on the desktop when I logged in nas root user.How can I paste from here while still in command line interface [12:39] lvh: Data centers without keyboards -- ouch! That's tough man! Hope you figure out how to do it.. I'm going to get back to trying to figure my issue (sorry, no more ideas for ya..) [12:40] nox-Hand: And despite the fact that I still know how 7406es work, I'm not inclined to find a soldering iron [12:40] hi all how to restrict dhcp from hosts overiding ip manually? [12:40] taran: did you get gui? [12:40] greenmang0: I am rebooting [12:41] ranjan: change your host network config to static IP [12:41] taran: no need to reboot === foo_ is now known as foo [12:41] greenmang0: YESSSSSSS [12:41] How can I wake up the monitor on a system via ssh? [12:42] ranjan: you can stop dhcliient with "sudo /etc/init.d/dhclient stop" and you can stop any interface with "sudo ifconfig down" [12:42] taran: /etc/init.d/x11-common start && /etc/init.d/slim start should work [12:42] Waka waka waka waka pika [12:42] Eximius: please don't [12:42] Ad hoc: 0 RX packets [12:42] Oh damn... "Dell Precision M6500 Laptop has been awarrded status of Certified on Ubuntu 64-Bit PC" .... and I just cannot get my WiFi to work out of the box Q_Q [12:42] Eximius: do you have an ubuntu support question ? [12:42] greenmang0: I just restarted n it is working [12:43] nox-Hand: additional drivers? [12:43] taran: so you got GUI [12:43] ikonia: yes i can't make a ad hoc network [12:43] Eximius: Broadcom bcm43xx just plain old fails on all install options so far [12:43] greenmang0: Yes I got one but after looging in as root Im waiting.It is taking little long [12:43] ikonia: well i can't make a one that works [12:43] Eximius: ok, so you'll get better help if you ask a question / explain the problem instead of random words/noises [12:43] Eximius :Hi, I tried connecting my wifi phone to the ad hoc yesterday and it worked for me [12:43] Eximius: And no possibility of connecting laptop to cable (ethernet) at all, only tethering through Wifi through phone available in my area atm [12:44] nox-Hand: i have bcm4318E and wifi worked out of the box for me [12:44] Eximius: Funny, cause it worked fine in 10.04 [12:44] taran: log in as a normal user .. i am not sure whether slim allows root to login [12:44] just stupid ad hoc [12:44] Eximius: Exactly, first time I have had issues with it [12:44] Eximius: InstallArchives() failed is listed when I activate the driver [12:44] And that is listed as being fixed oo [12:45] greenmang0: thats what I just di n waiting but the screen looks brown n held up may be because its in virtual environment [12:45] nox-Hand: never had that, everything woked well here from 10.10 [12:45] except ad hoc :/ [12:45] taran: possible... [12:45] uranus_gas_giant: but i still need the hosts with fixed address to be able to contact dhcp server [12:45] Eximius: That's my biggest issue of trying to get this fixed -- everyone else seemt o NOT have this issue (it is, as I said, listed as being fixced for 10.10) [12:45] Damn typos over a slow ssh connection.. [12:45] how can I save this chat or the exact steps to be reproduced in another lab [12:45] nox-Hand: If you mean you can't ad hoc with your phone to get internet on your laptop. I'm with ye! ad hoc fails [12:46] !logs | taran [12:46] nox-Hand: ive had issues with some broadcom cards that 'should' work with the STA drivers or the b43* drivers.. some times a card will work with one and not hte others.. I think the sta drivers blacklist the b43 drivers also. I had to ubblacklist it once on a problem box to use it. [12:46] is it possible to share ethX connection with wifi [12:46] taran: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ === xeonx is now known as xe0nx [12:46] !ics | anshrpr [12:46] anshrpr: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [12:46] creating a simple ad hoc should work [12:46] but fais [12:46] epiclyy [12:47] forever [12:47] Eximius: I know that feeling ;) [12:47] !enter | Eximius [12:47] Eximius: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:47] Dr_Willis: Unblacklist... that sounds interesting, have not tried it. Yet, would that exaplin why the apt-get fails on the packages? [12:47] Did they make Enter the new spacebar? [12:47] even if you try ndis drivers, use dnsmasq, create a dns server, domain, dhcp it will fail [12:47] nox-Hand: no that would not... [12:47] nox-Hand: it would explain why modules for it wouldnt be getting loaded however. [12:48] greenmang0: The grey screen is still therre since 4-5 minutes [12:48] Dr_Willis: Getting support is a bother, for I only have the one computer to work on. Or ,,, wait, I could nick the laptop upstairs while my flatmate is out for work [12:48] Hey. I recently upgraded to 10.10, however it's created more trouble for me than I think it's worth. I was wondering if there's a method for downgrading? Or do I have to completely reinstall my system? [12:48] <[Arnold]> back [12:48] taran: can you move mouse? [12:48] Moopz, reinstall [12:48] taran: i mean pointer :D [12:48] Lemme reboot this system to Ubuntu in a mo, and I'll try to get this issue resolved! :D [12:49] <[Arnold]> ectospasm: do you have an idea how to fix my problem? [12:49] bazhang, really? :( === cpf__ is now known as cpf_ [12:49] BCM4318E ad hoc epic fail help meh [12:49] greenmang0: Yes I can move mouse [12:49] Moopz, it's the only real option. Stick with 10.04 until all of the bugs are ironed out. [12:49] taran: yeah... :D [12:50] taran: you are logged in successfully [12:50] ubuntu only has ufw firewall by default rite? [12:50] !adhoc [12:50] How can I wake up the monitor on a system via ssh? I think it's like DISPLAY=:0.0 somecommand. hmm [12:50] greenmang0: yes logged successfully [12:50] Eximius, Yup [12:50] taran: openbox presents you grey screen after logging in [12:50] Eximius: ufw is a gui tool to the firewall system. [12:50] taran: you will need a file manager and a panel [12:50] more like command line [12:50] Reverend_Ruff, it's not really bugs, but the software I'm using that suddenly incompatible. Like Eclipse Plugins doesn't work after 10.10. [12:50] Dr_Willis, thought that was gufw [12:50] greenmang0: ok.whats next then [12:50] taran: apt-get install rox-filer fbpanel [12:50] !firewall [12:50] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [12:51] Moopz, we understand. [12:51] ya ufw is the firewall and gufw is the GUI to ufw [12:51] greenmang0: but now I can see Commna dline [12:51] taran: check the left/right/middle click buttons see if they bring up a menu. [12:51] How do I check the fingerprint of an SSH key? [12:51] Moopz, we hear a lot of this after a new release. The general rule of thumb is to stick with the previous release until we get most of the bugs/compat issues/ etc. worked out. New releases are never really *ready* for everyone to install. =P [12:52] greenmang0: is there no single appz to take care of all these requirements in one go [12:52] ifconfig writes 0 RX packets meaning it doesn't receive signals in ad hoc mode, but does in normal mode, wifi works [12:52] taran: if you want a full desktop - install one of the desktop meta packages. ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-desktop [12:52] is there a way to track which files are opened and sourced when I log in my server? I set the umask in /etc/profile, but it seems to be overwritten later [12:52] Reverend_Ruff, so is there no way for me to at least keep some of the programs I have or is the only option a complete reinstall? [12:53] is there a problem related with moving a window and the screen goes black? using maverick it seems that almost every time i move a window this happens, maybe one in ten... [12:53] taran: just do "apt-get install xorg slim rox-filer fbpanel openbox" this will give you the minimalistic gui possible [12:53] What could be blocking signals from getting recieved while in ad hoc mode? [12:53] How do I add applications to the panel on the left of the screen on Ubuntu Netbook? [12:53] rweng: you could edit the files and put some echo statement at the start/end of them --> echo 'this is the /etc/profile' and so on... [12:53] Moopz, it would be much easier and faster to reinstall. [12:53] taran: or you can follow what Dr_Willis is saying [12:53] Dr_Willis: How to do that [12:53] Bump [12:53] !netbook | tdn [12:53] greenmang0: Im trying to follow Dr_Willis [12:53] taran: do what exactly? from what ive seen - you just dont know how to use a 'windowmanager' :) why are you even doing this? [12:54] Reverend_Ruff, Oh well. My own fault for meddling with new releases I guess. [12:54] taran: follow the Doctors :) [12:54] Dr_willis: the question is: which files. I checked /etc/profile /etc/bash bashrc, ~/.bashrc ~/.profile [12:54] how do i merge partitions in linux ? [12:54] Reverend_Ruff, Thanks for the help. [12:54] Dr_Willis: none of these overwrites the umask, there must be another file i am trying to find [12:54] What could be blocking signals from getting recieved while in ad hoc mode? [12:54] Moopz, sorry it's not better news, but good luck! [12:54] Ugh.. The new Ubuntu colours... nice colours, but today my Tshirt is the same colour purple, and my laptop is blood orange metal enclosed, so it looks a little... colourful [12:54] DragonKeeper: How to get ubutu desktop on the server using command line [12:54] What could be blocking signals from getting recieved while in ad hoc mode? [12:54] rweng: you could put an echo command in each of them. SOME only get sourced by a login shell. Im not even sure when/what order they all get read. [12:54] maverick is terrible... [12:54] Eximius, dont repeat every five seconds [12:54] taran: 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' [12:55] DragonKeeper, not possible without LVM [12:55] apt-get ubuntu-desktop ?? taran [12:55] how can I tell Nautilus to only show a custom action if a folder is mounted? I'd like to include "fusermount -u" then to dismount it. It does show the "Unmount" option for those folders, but umount doesn't work without root [12:55] bazhang: Don't ignore my repeats :/ [12:55] taran: its better to install a desktop edition, then add teh services, then to install a server edition, and install the desktop - from what ive seen/heard/used. [12:55] taran, kubuntu-desktop for kde [12:55] Eximius, if no one knows, no one will answer. repeating like that will not get a faster answer [12:55] hi every one [12:55] omg linux himself is here. [12:56] :P [12:56] krishnandu LVM ? [12:56] xD [12:56] haha [12:56] bazhang, yes iKnow, it blows, can't get my frickin iPod online [12:56] Eximius, via iTunes? [12:56] DragonKeeper, Logical Volume Management [12:56] Eximius: Do you have the dnsmasq package insalled? [12:56] yes [12:56] Eximius: you did install a dhcp server on the box shareing the network? perhaps? [12:56] DragonKeeper, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_Volume_Manager_%28Linux%29 [12:56] nox-Hand: I did do a full dhcp servor [12:57] Eximius, I was under the impression that iTunes was renowned for not playing well in *nixes. [12:57] ah oh [12:57] i have 1 problem i am not able to update my 10.10 from update manager [12:57] not using itunes [12:57] linux: clarify the problem. [12:57] DragonKeeper, And ubuntu doesn't use LVM so...it's not possible... [12:57] linux: you could also try the command line.. 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' [12:57] Eximius: Some people recommend just getting a good old fashioned ndiswrapper install going [12:57] has anyone else had problems with a black screen when moving windows around? [12:57] Not sure if it will work though [12:57] I told you guys, the drivers seem to block incoming signals in ad hoc mode [12:58] Dr_Willis : I tried sharing Auto eth0 by changing IPV4 settings->Method->Share to other computers. But my own PC gets disconnected, I wan't the connection to be estalished on both Laptop and Wireless devices.... [12:58] krishnandu so its impossible to change partitions sizes or merge them ? [12:58] nox-Hand: DITTO check the fricken chat log [12:58] ok the problem is solved [12:58] linux: eh? :) [12:58] DragonKeeper, Yes...without LVM those both things are impossible. I also tried to do that once...but failed. [12:59] sorry, may be due to net connection [12:59] Linux is just having a bad day and forgot his own commands. No worries. He'll wake up soon enough and then be teachin' us all things. [12:59] Dr_Willis: and greenmang0 : Thanks for all the SUPPORT. Bye. See you soon [12:59] look at that http://pic.wenwen.soso.com/p/20081014/20081014070750-2127177809.jpg i get this when i open the computer with grub 1.98 [12:59] yes [13:00] little help? ;P [13:00] I tried sharing Auto eth0 by changing IPV4 settings->Method->Share to other computers.

[13:01] Eximius: Wow sorry Mr. fairly annoyed. I am not concentrating on solving your problems for I have enough of my own at the moment. I just tossed a few innocent suggestions at you, and I do apologise for annoying you by aparrently sounding like an echo of suggestions past. Tsch. [13:01] Krishnandu: how?

[13:06] 1tb with all my data and a 500 with the os [13:06] but the 1tb as a 32gb of nothing [13:06] DragonKeeper, Ya that's why I asked it, I was also trying to do the same, but using gparted has high risk so I simply created a ext4 partition on that free space and using it as my data parition. Added it to /etc/fstab so that it mounts automatically [13:06] asus eee pc 1215n, multitouch doesn't work.

[13:08] krishnandu hmm i might look at gparted [13:08] Krishnandu: better solution than to screw up with partitions [13:08] i see packages like alsa-base, libasound2, and many others. which ones should i remove? :) [13:08] sudo apt-get remove [13:08] george_, basically after installing windows grub gets lost and the tutorial is written about how to restore grub. So it doesn't matter you installed windows or not. The thing is your grub got corrupted. So just follow it to restore your grub. [13:09] greenmang0, :) [13:09] I newly installed Ubuntu OS in my pc.

[13:13] awanti: what's the output of "lspci" command? pastebin it [13:13] no i have a 1tb with a 32gb partition i want the 32gb to merge with the rest of the 1tb ( my OS is on a different drive of 500gb) [13:13] i installed cs 1.6, it did run but at the time of map loading it give an error invalid parameter received [13:13] plz help [13:14] vg [13:14] !appdb | vikas [13:14] vikas: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [13:14] vikas: join #wine [13:14] lo there, i just installed ubuntu via the windows installer. it did install correct and after the reboot ubuntu did finish the installation, but after the second reboot grub is missing the "start ubuntu option" .. im kinda stuck with two boot menus now .. the windows start manager listing windows7 and ubuntu and after selecting ubuntu im stuck with the only "start windows" entry which brings me back to the win7 boot manager .. how do i get th [13:14] DragonKeeper, Ohh...!! lol..!! Sorry....you can do that from Ubuntu too...or may use Gparted Live CD [13:14] vikas, /join #winehq [13:14] DragonKeeper: What you can usually do is move all the stuff from the 32g partition to the other partition, and then after that delete the partition with a partition manager. Then you can expand your 1tb parittion to fill the entire drive [13:14] did there is no one there [13:14] vikas: oops join #winehq [13:14] vikas, sure there is. be patient [13:15] ok [13:15] DragonKeeper, but remember extending or merging two partitions has risks too... [13:15] I installed kubuntu and suddenly my fan speed has increased too much. It has become nearly impossible to work on battery power as the laptop gets heated too much and the back up has reduced to 45 minutes( which is usually 3 hours when on windows) [13:15] Sometimes it CAN fail, and that is not very nice (backups are always a good thing when dealing with partition issues, for you dont want to loose all your stuff). i.e, make sure you have saved all stuff on your drive before trying anything. If you loose it all, dont blame us :) I have lost almost half a terrabyte doing what you are requesting [13:15] krishnandu nox-hand ty and i know the risks lets hope for the best tho yeah lol [13:16] DragonKeeper, With Gparted you can do both....as nox-Hand said or merge the paritions.... But remember data loss risk is thr..!! [13:16] It is getting impossible to work [13:16] Usually for something like a 32gb partition on a 1tb drive Id say just keep it around for future use. STore special stuff on there, make it another file system, do whatever you want :) I hate loosing data.. [13:16] nox-Hand, 1TB backup..!! :P [13:16] Please help, I installed lm-sensors but it shows the temp as 0 [13:16] Krishnandu: Awesome, you can merge now? That was not possible before, right -- before being three years ago when I last used it [13:17] my 1tb IS the backup drive lol [13:17] wer_: is any process hogging your memory? [13:17] !sensors [13:17] To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [13:17] Krishnandu: I have three 1TB drives, and I use one for backups of the important stuff on the other two [13:17] But then someone stole my one drive, and now I no longer do important backups much [13:17] ;/ [13:18] I have however encrypted both my drives with TrueCrypt so noone will ever get my stuff (unless they beat the password out of me ... usually the easier option vs hacking it) [13:18] kakulukia, installing ubuntu with wubi is not at all recommended and has many problems while installing and even after installing.

It just doesn't work, i've tried no end of forum posts with no luck. [13:35] !details [13:35] Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." === undecim1 is now known as undecim [13:36] Tried lots of things and hopeing for some insight from teh irc rooms. :) [13:36] JackHELP, I think you didn't read what ubottu said [13:36] !ask | JackHELP [13:36] JackHELP: 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. :-) [13:36] hell,I use ubuntu 10.04 x64 desktop and install samba but the windows network can't not list and try to in the vbox can't to [13:37] Wireless PCI card Tenda W54P doesn't search/locate any wireless networks. However in iwconfig it shows its there. [13:37] randy_, Did you configured smb.conf?? [13:37] that better/ [13:37] randy_: by default a virtual 'os' can only access the local machine vbox is running on. and visa versa. Unless you set up the networking settings in virtualbox differently [13:37] krishnandu ok ty now will take a hour to copy files as the 1mb was on the left lol [13:37] Krishnandu, no,but it's normal and start server [13:37] JackHELP: you could try to connect to the wireless network via the command line if the commands seem working. If that does work. then that would point to some bugs in the 'network maanger' tool [13:37] JackHELP, Yes...now that's what I was saying....if you ask like this anyone who knows the answer will reply. Otherwise no1 would reply if you just ask if anyone can help you with wifi [13:38] JackHELP: Some cards have switches on the outside. Make sure yours is on. [13:38] Thats about the extent of my 'help with wifi' :) [13:38] randy_, You need to configure smb.conf in order to get it working fine.. [13:38] Dr_Willis_, I use nat and use it before [13:38] undecim, no switches. [13:38] DragonKeeper, :) [13:38] Dr_Willis how would i do that? [13:39] JackHELP: Also, can you paste the full output of iwconfig and lspci to paste.ubuntu.com and post the link here? [13:39] krishnandu who makes a partition of only 1mb ... has to of been a windows fault lol [13:39] undecim, ok [13:39] DragonKeeper, :P [13:39] has anyone ever implemented a call recording systems using ubuntu? [13:39] I need help getting a squid config working http://pastie.org/1235294 as I think it should be working. Someone please help? [13:39] I mean something like that: http://www.nch.com.au/hardware/setup/callrec/analog.html [13:40] but only using ubuntu and os packages? [13:40] Fr_Willis_: nope, umask is set nowhere in /etc/ or ~ to 046. /etc/login.defs wasn't set, setting it didn't change anything [13:40] * PerfecT36312 ʹ³ö½µÁúÊ®°ËÕÆÖ®ËÄ"ÁúÔÚÌìÑÄ",°Ñ Ò»ÕÆ´òµÄË«Ä¿±©Í¹,ÉàÍ·Éì³ö,±Ç¿×Óë¶ú¶ä¾ùÁ÷³öѪˮ! [13:40] hey guys, i recently upgraded to maverick and now compiz is always disabled at startup. if i start it manually it works fine. its just always disabled. there is even no other wm (like metacity) running. any ideas? [13:40] randy_, if you can't figure out smb.conf you may look at system-config-samba [13:40] ct529: not specific to ubuntu, but have a look here: http://www.asterisk.org/ [13:41] undecim, here http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/SWXTchzq [13:41] Krishnandu, do you know how to solve it? [13:41] is there a GUI interface for Grub after ubuntu is installed? [13:41] Forrest: no, that's not really its thing... [13:41] sipior: do you really have to install and setup the entire asterisk? what I want to do is simply record calls on a single analog line we use for business [13:41] has anyone had problems making image files using Brasero in 10.04? I keep throwing errors [13:41] sipior: i sort of thought so [13:42] randy_, As I said, if you can't figure out smb.conf, install and use system-config-samba. That's GUI and will config your smb.conf in just some clicks [13:42] netme: brasero has given me problems with images as well, try k3b [13:42] sipior: It messed up when it comes to loading Windows7 after install, i am going to have to mess manually with the file [13:42] sipior: it sounds a bit of an overkill [13:42] ct529: i'd say have a look at the documentation and see what you can do. [13:42] nits: thanks will do [13:42] hey guys, i recently upgraded to maverick and now compiz is always disabled at startup. if i start it manually it works fine. its just always disabled. there is even no other wm (like metacity) running. any ideas? [13:42] netme: np cheers! [13:42] Forrest: understood, but you should only have to do it once :-) [13:43] JackHELP: does "iwlist scan" give you anything? [13:43] sipior: nope more than once, planning to install windows NT after i get this fixed haha [13:43] JackHELP: Don't need the output, just need to know if there is any [13:43] Forrest: u mean the mbr wrote over the grub? [13:43] undecim, nope. [13:43] Forrest: glutton for punishment... [13:43] nits: i mean selecting Windows7 to boot from GRUB = flash and right back to GRUB [13:43] sipior: I have actually installed and configured Asterisk in the past, and you can record sip calls, but we are talking about calls on a single analogue line here, not a sip call [13:43] * undecim consults Google [13:43] is there a linux defrag utility ? [13:44] sipior: like the link I sent in the original question [13:44] nits: it also has a spot windows vista (which i dont own) which lets me know GRUB is confused [13:44] Forrest: oh... [13:44] DragonKeeper, linux doesn't need defragging [13:44] !defrag| DragonKeeper [13:44] DragonKeeper: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [13:44] Krishnandu, thank you I will try,and I dont't speak english.you want to me use system-config-samba,isn't it [13:44] DragonKeeper: not sure you really need to defrag if you have ext4 [13:44] randy_, yes [13:44] ectospasm: & trojan_spike: thanks... I think I finally got grub to load my Ubuntu properly!! [13:44] oh ok [13:45] oh yeah it does load ubuntu haha [13:45] lol, i cant even set umask in ~.profile. What's executed even later? its the default .profile on UBnutu 10.4 LTS [13:45] JackHELP: "lsmod | grep rt61pci" outputs? [13:45] ct529: if you've verified that asterisk doesn't provide this capability, i'm not sure what to tell you. [13:45] undecim, give me a second. [13:45] DragonKeeper: try this https://ols2006.108.redhat.com/2007/Reprints/sato-Reprint.pdf [13:45] after installing ubuntu 1010 can't get nvidia work [13:46] any ideas [13:46] !details | c1arc [13:46] c1arc: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."

[13:49] hello, is it difficult to report bugs for development versions of Ubuntu - does one need to have a certain amount of technical knowledge? [13:49] DragonKeeper, I hope so..!! [13:49] c1arc: what nvidia card [13:49] nobarking: just log one, if more info is needed, it will be requested [13:49] hi all [13:49] and ran nvidia settings [13:49] krishnandu :P [13:50] nobarking: depends. generally, even the indication that there is a problem is quite helpful, and the person responsible can help you get further information related to the problem. [13:50] ActionParsnip, i know but thats not the way to do it... is it? where gets the normal wm loaded? [13:50] hi all [13:50] hi drcode [13:50] q0s: no idea, but i know it works so I'd run with it [13:50] can I see what I a user type in console? [13:50] on his screen like tty?

[13:53] c1arc: have you tried the hardware drivers utility to see what it suggests for your card? [13:53] drcode, Ok...say that....you are using ssh to login to your pc from remote pc and you want to see in your monitor what you type from remote pc. Right?? [13:53] where is that utility [13:53] how do you install ndiswrapper without an internet connection? or do i need one. [13:54] akaedintov: if nobody knows, do you want all 1600 of us to say no? [13:54] is somewhere under "system" [13:54] is that [13:54] JackHELP: i believe its on the install CD.

I have only one monitor and never tried with two monitor [13:56] DragonKeeper: It is possible to have multiple desktop backgrounds in Gnome with Compiz, but you lose your desktop icons. [13:56] c1arc: what ubuntu version? [13:56] Codename: maverick [13:57] drcode, I dnt think so....may be just wait for some other member to confirm [13:57] akaedintov: if people don't know, how can they answer you, so spamming the channel with repeated requests achieves nothing but spam the channel [13:57] undecim i like my icons tho :( [13:57] DragonKeeper: Oh, sorry, I misread that.... I was thinking "per workspace" not "per monitor". Though maybe compiz can do that, too.

[13:57] akaedintov: why not be smart and do some websearching, let the user list change a little. Then if you still have no answer you can re-ask.Different users will have different answers [13:57] I think hardware drivers are called additional drivers [13:57] I want to boot ubuntu from disk on key , on old pc === Ekips_ is now known as Ekips [13:57] in ubunru 1010 [13:58] I don't think this pc have usb boot support [13:58] akaedintov: just want you to quit repeat asking, it'll get you nowhere [13:58] c1arc: sorry, I am using LTS [13:58] drcode, what does disk on key means???

[14:19] hi. missing ibus choice panel. how to get katakana characters on ubuntu 10.10 (hiragana works fine, no problems with katakana on Ubuntu 10.04)? [14:19] Question! Any idea why this happens with latest ubuntu? - Question!! Any idea why this happens? http://reduz.dyndns.org/crashl.txt - with nvidia driver and 10.10 [14:19] Howdy [14:20] experiMENTAL, #ibus [14:20] err sorry for repeat [14:20] Travis-42: i think that depends in the dev-mapper and the way you are refering to the partitions, via LABEL, UUID or location... but i'm not fully sure about that [14:20] experiMENTAL, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ibus [14:20] experiMENTAL: edit ibus preferences and say... let me check [14:20] Travis-42: mdadm.conf should use UUIDs, and shouldn't care what the device is called (ideally) [14:20] I'm planning on dualbooting my computer.. running only 10.10 atm, so i want to install Win XP from CD and after that reinstall 10.10.. but i can't install windows xp.. it crashes when loading setup.. could it have anything to do with hdd format? [14:21] anyone have a pinnacle usb 70e on ubuntu 10.10 ? [14:21] sipior: OK, I wasn't sure, since you specify the /dev location when creating the array. thanks [14:21] !anyone | opossum_ [14:21] opossum_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [14:21] Travis-42: yeah, i'm fairly sure those are mapped to UUIDs at array creation. easy to double-check, though. [14:21] cablop: what kind of hard drive is it? [14:21] Thylith: ubuntu god's don't want you to use windows ;) [14:21] Thylith: just kidding [14:22] experiMENTAL: go to ibuis preferences, then select the general tab in font and style select show language panel and set it to Show ehen Active [14:22] dwarder, hehe, well.. it's so that another person can use it for games.. :P [14:22] hi it hangs at this point Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-25-generic-pae [14:22] Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin [14:23] gartral: it is a sata drive, for a netbook, and some partitions are encrypted, well, two partitions on top of an lvm, but swap is not encrypted [14:24] i enable the encrypted swap, with no luck... i think something is wrong in the latest kernels [14:24] how can I run something with sudo in the crontab? [14:24] !napster | ssh [14:24] sudo su, then put it in the root crontab [14:24] !ssh | napster [14:24] napster: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage.

[14:25] suigeneris: that's simply not true. [14:25] suigeneris: does too [14:25] cablop: and you told the kernel to use swap part for hibernation, not the ./hiber file? [14:25] oh, I know what you mean === esil is now known as eskil [14:25] suigeneris: try "sudo -i" === CHOCOBY is now known as chocoby [14:25] Gabbie I type sudo su, then crontab? [14:26] suigeneris: dont use sudo su [14:26] iceroot: why not? [14:26] gartral: well, i said nothing to kernel... cause it was working well the last months... i mean it was working by efault... now it refuse to work well :( [14:26] iceroot what do I use then? [14:26] Gabbie: setting the environment wrong, also you dont need a root-shell [14:26] suigeneris: sudo -i [14:26] Hi the error i get is it hangs at Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin [14:26] suigeneris: and for editing crons, sudo crontab -e [14:26] cablop: 10.10, yeA? [14:27] gartral: nope, 10.04 but with the latest kernel from lucid-updates [14:27] hi, ais there any list of mirrors of alternate installer iso? The ubuntu website does not select near me... [14:27] Guys, some apps crash my internet connection. Restarting won't help, only restarting the router. [14:27] iceroot: I'd argue against that, but as sudo su is all I've ever done I can't say the downside of doign sudo -i [14:27] or let me check... i think it was ignoring somehow the flags in synaptic and tried to upgrade without asking me first... [14:28] Gabbie: sudo su is wrong, dont suggest it here [14:28] iceroot so, for something that requires root access, I'd do sudo -i command in the crontab? [14:28] anyone know of a guide for how to set up ubuntu to automatically reconfigure X when plugged in/removed to a docking station? [14:28] suigeneris: in the crontab? [14:28] iceroot: why precisely is it wrong? [14:29] Gabbie: its setting the environment not correct [14:29] Gabbie: its executing two times the shell and the environment is wrong then [14:29] What do you mean "the environment is wrong" [14:29] suigeneris, iceroot, Gabbie i think you can still use the sudo bash one :P [14:29] Gabbie: PATH and so on [14:30] Gabbie: try "printenv" for each of the various scenarios: "sudo -i", "sudo -s", "sudo su", &cet. [14:30] iceroot I think you didn't read. I need to run some script with root rights in the crontab [14:30] cablop: we dont support a root-shell here, so please suggest just sudo [14:30] suigeneris: sudo crontab -e [14:30] Hi all. The other day I installed with madwifi drivers on my laptop to test them out instead of the ath5k (ath9k?) drivers. I didn't like madwifi, so i tried to uninstall the drivers and revert to the original ones. Now I've somehow screwed up my system, and don't have ANY wireless device configured... could someone please help me fix this problem? [14:30] suigeneris: Everything inside of root's crontab runs as root. So use sudo crontab -e [14:30] iceroot: sipior when i sudo I expect to be root with the root's env etc, not myself with super powers (I probably explained that very badly) [14:30] okay [14:30] suigeneris: or put your files in /etc/cron.d/ and use root * * * * * foobar [14:31] Gabbie: sudo is ginving you the environment [14:31] Gabbie: and calling su with sudo is not setting the einviroment [14:32] iceroot when I use sudo crontab -e and put in my script that requires root access, it won't ask for password? [14:32] iceroot: Er, if the home dir of /root is part of the environment then sudo su is definitely setting the environment [14:32] Gabbie: .... [14:33] Gabbie: PATH and so on [14:33] i still wonder why that thing to be tooooo afraid to use a bash shell [14:33] in root [14:33] iceroot so when I use sudo crontab -e and put in my script that requires root access, it won't ask for password? [14:33] cablop: reboot, select the previous kernel, and try the hibernation again (selecting the same kernel on reload) and if it works, submit a bug, then make the Jump to 10.10 [14:33] strange situation here . My media server has nvivdia 7600gt and runs fine without probs including desktop effects etc. My desktop pc has a nvidia 8400gs and runs like an elcheapo onboard ati , jerky mouse, slow FPS etc.. both cards are running the same nvidia drivers ...any ideas? [14:33] suigeneris: the script is not asking for a password, correct [14:34] iceroot thanks, you saved my day [14:34] iceroot ++ [14:34] cablop: because users are "stupid" and will kill there system if they have a root-shell [14:34] cablop: so a root-shell is not supported iin this channel [14:34] cablop: it's not really a problem per se, but it's generally not good practise to leave an open root shell lying around. it invites problems... [14:34] how can one blacklist a package? i keep getting this error failed in buffer_read(fd): files list for package `wesnoth-low': Input/output error how do i remove a package is apt is crashing? [14:34] sudo -i would creat a root shell ? [14:35] gartral: not willing to move to 10.10, but i'll do the test you are suggesting [14:35] defrysk: yep. [14:35] so whats the issue ? [14:35] i think i'm willing to keep on the LTS for a long time [14:35] defrysk: no issue really, as i was saying. [14:35] sipior, just came in and wondered [14:36] .login 41365 [14:36] cablop: 10.10 is really *really* *REALLY* nice [14:36] .help [14:36] is this a good place to ask a wow question?

[14:37] i have an issue with a logitech bluetooth mouse, when i check the bluetooth applet, the mouse shows under devices...but its not working, when i try to add it as a new device it still doesnt show up [14:37] anyone have any ideas [14:37] snipe: if the wow question has something to do with ubuntu [14:37] thank you .. probably means " wow this guy is a noob" but thanks , didn't know there was a wow channel [14:38] mm maybe he should go to #wow-off-topic ?

That should give you the network-manager icon in the taskbar === homecable2 is now known as homecable [14:42] droopal: You probably don't need wicd. [14:42] Hey, does someone know to tell me if it's possible to re-partition my PC's memory so, that I could install another OS to run with my Ubuntu; a dual-boot I mean [14:42] when i installed the latest update i got the new downloader, started to play when it said playable. logged out and tried to restart the game but had to reboot the system to get in. when i got in the downloader started over.why? [14:42] JohnHeikkila, you mean how to partition your hardrive for Linux [14:43] minimec: if that is the case, how can I get LXDE to see the wireless? I cant even find the netwrokmanager in it. [14:43] Quantum_Ion: I think I should rephrase that...I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed, have used ubuntu since 9.04. now, I would like to install a new operating system but still keep ubuntu, so that my PC would be dual-boot [14:44] ola [14:44] anyone good with Evolution and Exchange 2010 ? [14:44] droopal: open a terminal and type nm-applet That should load the applet. Or try F2 nm-applet [14:45] !anyone | Weazel [14:45] Weazel: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[14:49] I want to download torrent file like a iso file but, what kind of appl ca be use to donwload torrent iso file? [14:49] droopal: I never used LXDE. Maybe you have a GUI tool in the options menu. Otherwise http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?t=111&f=8 [14:49] wisevoyager: Transmission. it comes with Ubuntu. [14:49] JohnHeikkila: you may be in trouble if the second operating system is Windows; it needs to have the first partition free, so you'll need to mess around with first partitions and then your bootloader and you need to do it all from a LiveCD. [14:49] I setup a 10.4 desktop yesterday, and would like to be able to access it remotely and graphically. Can somebody tell me what to google? [14:49] wisevoyager, you download the torrent file, open it with transmission, then open the ISO [14:50] LogicallyDashing: Oh well [14:50] minimec: ok, thank you, will ask on the forum. :) [14:50] hazard try nx... also called nomachine [14:50] hi guys, how to I move the notification applet?

Good idea. I forgot about VNC. I was thinking terminal services or X forwarding. [14:51] LogicallyDashing: Shouldn't I be able to backup my Ubuntu, install Windows (reformat) and then run Ubuntu via VirtualBox? [14:51] JohnHeikkila: sure, that works [14:51] rhlee, move that is soffy [14:51] so from what i understand, Evolution doesn't work currently with Exchange 2010 OWA.... ? [14:51] hazard, you can also use teamviewer... or setup a vpn and use vnc over it... these are the three options [14:51] rhlee, untic the lock box if needed [14:51] droopal: All you need is in that thread I posted... --> /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart or '*.desktop file in the ~/.config/autostart' [14:51] Weazel: support appears to be limited, indeed.

[14:52] no problem [14:52] minimec: I am going to take a look now, :) [14:52] defrysk: it doesn't have that option "move" like the other ones, that is what confuses me. When you do right click it you get the secondary menu of either dropbox or the network manager [14:52] http://oa.sun.ac.za/instructions.htm [14:52] LogicallyDashing, i actually want to do something similar, install windows XP over Ubuntu, then install 10.10 as dual boot cause it's easier.. but i cant install XP, it just crashes.. any idea? [14:52] no open week class today. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek i am right?

[14:53] hi i just downloaded ubuntu 10.10 ISO, and trying to install it on windows using WUBI, how do i proceed? [14:53] defrysk: thanks, got it now [14:53] rhlee, :) [14:53] it starts to download 10.04 ISO :( [14:53] ?? [14:53] someone reply please [14:53] cablop: Never heard of the former. I think the VPN is superfluous, since I'll always be inside the same subnet when I need access. I'm really just being cheap and trying to save the battery on my USB mouse. :-P [14:53] cablop: they are both metapackages. They both depend on the generic Linux kernel, but the 386 one depends on the version for the 386 architecture. [14:54] cablop: If Ubuntu is detecting your hardware architecture correctly, then the first package will get you the right kernel. [14:54] can someone help with WUBI? [14:54] hazard, then if yyou are in the same subnet then check for share desktop [14:54] !ask | amrddk [14:54] amrddk: 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. :-) [14:55] LogicallyDashing: so wich one would be the one for an atom cpu [14:55] cablop: Just install linux-image-generic, it'll most likely work [14:55] cablop: Thanks. [14:55] atom = 386 [14:56] I have both Dvorak and Spanish keyboard layouts enabled. They work fine until I switch to my secondary (Spanish) layout, whereupon holding Control causes the keyboard to revert to Dvorak. I don't want it to do that. How do I make it stop? [14:56] i downloaded WUBI on my Windows 7 box, and then downloaded the official 10.10 ISO. but when i hit the install button it tries to reconnect to the internet and download another ISO. what's the problem? what's going wrong? i was previously using Ubuntu 10.04 [14:56] anybody suggest me the best download manager in ubuntu [14:56] LogicallyDashing: check the keybinding to change between layout [14:56] defrysk: says WHO? the n275 is a 64 bit atom. [14:57] amrddk: from what i seen WUBI doesnt reconize that the ISO is on your harddrive [14:57] gartral, you are right, i typed before thinking [14:57] hello, can u suggest the best download manager [14:57] amrddk: burn the ISO to a CD, ignore WUBI and run the CD and you wont need it i think [14:57] ? [14:57] forrest: yeah. [14:58] defrysk: on the oposing paw: WHO would want to run 64-bit code on a pocketPC CPU >.> [14:58] amrddk: i did same thing you did and ended up just burning the ISO and ignoreing wubi [14:58] forrest. i don't have a working CD ROM that's the issue [14:58] gartral, aso correct :D [14:58] hi there, i just upgraded to Maverick and my multiple monitor support stopped working... i got an external monitor + laptop's monitor - i now cannot move my mouse between the two and the laptop monitor is black. anyone seen anything similar? [14:59] cablop: One more question. The installation I did yesterday of 10.4 came with a remote desktop and terminal services client, but the installation on my laptop did not. Do you know the nam of the package I want for the laptop? [14:59] amrddk: i am not a expert but unless you figure out hwo to use WUBI to get it to reconize you may have to download it again [14:59] pvh_sa: is there a button on the laptop that looks like a monitor? it would probably be in the fxx buttons, as a special fn combo [15:00] hazard: i don't know the name of that package [15:00] x_, gwget is a simple downloadmanager for gnome [15:00] pvh_sa: If you use an opensource driver, go to ->Preferences ->Monitors. [15:00] i just installed gnome 3 but i get errors JS ERROR: !!! Unhandled type int32 releasing GArgument [15:00] i know.... its just a ui to wget , right? [15:00] x_, correct [15:01] vikas: gnome 3 is experimental. use at your OWN RISK. it cannot be supported here [15:01] hazard but you can check in the software manager [15:01] can we do dynamic segmentation using wget?

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. [15:21] qwertyjustin, you should install it from the partner repo [15:21] IceTruckKiller: In the case of the (1), you're out of luck until drivers get written, in the case of (2) you should upgrade, and in the case of (3) go to System -> Administrator -> Additional Drivers [15:21] ubuntu is not showing any progress bar while using the "Send to" option....... ?? can u suggest something for that?

[15:22] ubuntu is not showing any progress while using "Send to" option [15:22] IceTruckKiller: or were you just thinking along the Windows mindset that you need to install drivers for your hardware?

The other day I installed with madwifi drivers on my laptop to test them out instead of the ath5k (ath9k?) drivers. I didn't like madwifi, so i tried to uninstall the drivers and revert to the original ones. Now I've somehow screwed up my system, and don't have ANY wireless device configured... could someone please help me fix this problem? [15:29] Wifi was working till yesterday and yes it has hardware switch. [15:29] mandeep: Would a reboot solve the problem? [15:30] oops [15:30] nope reboot didn't solve it [15:30] mandeep: You verified, that the hardware switch is 'on' ;) [15:30] :O.

I copied some files in Nautilus to a blank CD, but I don't see the "Burn to disk" button any more. Can you help?

[16:46] a visual glitch.. it's just there until I reboot [16:46] Hi, I've pooped up my grub, and I can't seem to fix it. :< [16:46] is there a way I can re-render the screen or something to get rid of it? [16:46] i just got near the end of installing 10.10, it's asking me if i want to "keep or remove 76 packages" What should i do here? [16:46] So i found a backup / restore howto on the ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 Using this guide, would one perform the backup, then format the drive (without the backup.tar.bz2 file on the drive) then install Ubuntu, then restore the tar overtop the existing directories from the new Ubuntu installation? [16:46] BlaDe^, did you try turning off visual effects? [16:46] falckon: it isn't it appears at least to the configure script for Cinelerra, libgl1-mesa-dev is installed but configure can't find any OpenGL 2 dev libraries [16:46] Eighteens, what sort of packages? [16:47] falckon: nope [16:47] how do I do that? [16:47] BlaDe^, System -> Preferences -> Appearance, and then visual effects is in the last tab [16:47] they're already off [16:47] cablop: can't see it in synaptic either mostly lists libraries for using Open GL 2 but not Open GL 2 itself [16:48] wants to remove 28 packages, starting with a whole bunch of lib*, and says 48 no longer needed [16:48] Joshehfox, gives me an option, actually 2 options, keep or remove [16:48] Thor^^, I checked SDL, and it only depends on the mesa gl dev package [16:48] Hmm... [16:48] Thor^^, maybe its just a different naming convention or version conflict [16:48] Thor^^: you can also try the ubuntu software center too [16:49] Hey. I have experienced on three maverick installs, that some of the updates that comes after install (possibly after activating canonical partner ppa) breaks coloring in GNU Screen. Is there some way to see all installed packages from this ppa? [16:49] Thor^^: but i think theyŕe not called opengl but mesagel or other variants... maybe sdl [16:49] falckon: I tried enabling visual effects, it failed BUT it did re-render my desktop and the glitches have gone [16:49] Eighteens, if they are lib packages then, my guess is that they are either older versions than the ones on 10.10, or they have been replaced [16:49] BlaDe^, maybe got compositing of metacity active ? [16:49] compositing is enabled [16:49] I needed it for docky [16:50] ok [16:50] Eighteens, I'd get rid of them personally, but it goes without saying that you should back up your data if you aren't sure about something [16:50] i'm just worried that if i remove them, that k3b will no longer work, as it was the only dvd burner i could find that would actually work for me in 10.04 [16:50] BlaDe^, thats why you have that glitch then [16:50] BlaDe^, what video card do you have in that computer? if it's an nvidia or ati card it may work better with the proprietary drivers [16:50] BlaDe^, have the same issue here [16:50] BlaDe^, and yes, what defrysk said [16:50] It's an nvidia geforce 7000m [16:50] thanks Joshehfox [16:50] Welcome :3 [16:51] BlaDe^, and i am using a humble intel vid card [16:51] is there anything i can do and still have docky work? [16:51] I've tried all kinds of combinations of mesagl, libmesa etc. and nothing really that pops up [16:51] I love docky. [16:51] what does this mean? SIOCSIFHWADDR: Too many open files in the system [16:51] BlaDe^, have you enabled the restricted driver for the card? [16:51] I've got an ATI Radeon 5870 and I had to go to hell and back to get the proprietary drivers going [16:52] I'm not sure falckon I have the nvidia server settings thingy tho which replaced the default Displays app [16:52] The floodbots seem to be having a war... [16:52] They get confused when one times out. [16:52] I choose a weaker and more expensive nvidia card for the linux support lol [16:52] BlaDe^, install the fusion icon to turn composoting off and back on again might be a dirty fix [16:53] And floodbot2 just won it :D [16:53] Ah [16:53] Right, so does anyone know how to solve a grub issue?

[17:01] yup, even the name, Lucid is better than what'd they call it? 10.10? [17:01] Heres a question. If i have a tar (somefile.tar) containing a directory called "dir1" and i extract it to a location that contains two directories ("dir1" and "dir2") using tar -xvf somefile.tar -C /path/to/dirs/ would it overwrite "dir1" and leave "dir2" alone?

[17:03] You know, likes R2D2 in Star War [17:03] sms_: you can make shell/bash scripts.. or any of a dozen other languages to do the same thing [17:03] sms_: .sh files [17:03] falckon, and it won't touch or overwrite dir2 [17:04] i need the wpasupplicant package [17:04] nullp0inter: you could use 'awk' also i guess..

Could someone recommend what step I am missing in a small executable script that has three lines: first executes program, second sleeps 15 seconds to let app load, and third performs a renice to change program priority... the renice never happens. Any suggestions on what to check? [17:05] Kamaris: program & [17:05] the renice itself works as a standalone execution [17:06] Kamaris: changing the niceness up or down? if down, it needs sudo [17:06] I thought this is for Ubuntu, not stupid mint [17:06] falckon, So if i was making a backup of the important directories in root for later recovery, and i'm excluding unnecessary directories such as "mnt" and "sys" i should be able to revert to my systems original state by untarring the file on top of root with no problems. [17:06] maco........... I see [17:06] Dr_Willis_: ah good suggestion, trying; maco i have added sudo, plus the exception to visudo not to require password [17:06] Kamaris: you miss ampersand at the end [17:07] Dr_Willis_, Does that mean that you didnt edit the standard GRUB ? ALso is it possible for me to put it in Standard Grub as one of the options [17:07] Dr_Willis_: you are correct, and that fixed the issue :) [17:07] well, 10.10 installed, and rebooted hooray!!! === niels_ is now known as Nhdb [17:07] Eighteens, Congrats !

[17:08] thevishy: You mean menu.lst ? [17:08] thevishy: grub1 can NOT boot iso files.. grub2 can. [17:08] n00b can you get into command shell with networking?

SIOCSIFHWADDR: Too many open files in the system ... :P [17:08] people in Mint are arrogant and pushing, they do nothing but attack people like crazy dogs [17:08] my update manager is stuck at: Unpacking replacement linux-kernel-image 2.6.35-22-generic .....what do i do?

[17:09] area51pilot: well it means what it says... too many open files. theres a limit of like 1024 or something. what app is trying to open that many? [17:10] nobarking: it was never really *necessary* -- but if you want to get rid of locales you dont use, thats the way to do it still [17:10] maco: thanks [17:10] Eighteens: are you able to run "sudo -i" and have it work?

[17:14] Right so how do I go about adding this ISO to the 40_custom file ? [17:14] maco: but i just noticed it will let me ls -al [17:14] Can I see any instructions [17:14] Eighteens: you can't ls -la? or you get someting different? cuz it wouldve changed to root's home directory. i just wanted to see if it was able to change to root [17:14] ubuntu91human: lts comnes out every so often.. i forget the time.. normal releases is every 6 mo [17:14] !lts [17:14] LTS means Long Term Support.

[17:16] ok im looking on google, and nothing specific, how can i sort my csv by a datetime column(the 20th column)? [17:16] google is obviously the first place, 15 minutes later... [17:16] Eighteens: if your bitchx is in your home directory, of course giving it the "in this directory" path won't work. type "exit" to get out of the root shell and go back to your own shell [17:16] okok: You card is not recognized. Is that a built in card or a USB stick? [17:16] maco: ok will try that [17:16] Dr_Willis_, the file name is grub.cfg in Maverick and its located in /boot/grub . Is is possible to share your entry and I believe its the same thing I want - thanks [17:17] andyzammy: check the vbox docs.. its not a PATH like that [17:17] minimec, it's a bulit one [17:17] does "/" and "/boot" need to be on the same physical device? [17:17] inside my netbook [17:17] also i noticed it wouldnt let me access drives by opening a terminal, and cd /media/drive/folder/app [17:17] thevishy: read the grub2 docs. you do NOT NOT NOT edit grub.cfg [17:17] maco i just tried that, the command goes through but the process doesn't end :( [17:17] thevishy: you want a custome entry you edit the 40_custome file and rerun update-grub [17:17] i want to load a custom color scheme. i'm not finding the folder specified (/.vimrc) [17:17] Dr_Willis_: could you please link me to the docs? not sure if its my searching but unable to find anything related in my attempts [17:17] maco: unless i opened the explorer first [17:17] okok: lspci in the gnome-terminal. Find the line about your wireless card. [17:17] I think Mint has been copying Ubuntu, shouldn't we do something to stop them from copying other's work? [17:17] andyzammy: the vbox homepage has a PDF manual [17:18] King_Troopa: ps -ef | grep dpkg .... then "kill -9 foo" where foo is the first number on the line [17:18] ubuntu91human: do you have an actual ubuntu support question? [17:18] i want to load a custom color scheme for vim. i'm not finding the folder specified (/.vimrc) [17:18] goltoof: vimrc is a file. [17:18] ubuntu91human: opensource is not "copy" [17:18] minimec, ok, i got network controller [17:18] Dr_Willis, all right.. I know what you mean. maybe I am too sensitive. [17:19] goltoof, /j #vim [17:19] Dr_Willis_: thanks, will read up [17:19] Sava, but they are copying ubuntu [17:19] Broadcom COrporation BCM4313 [17:19] Dr_Willis_, i know, but they're saying i need to find the dir ~/.vim/colors [17:19] doesn't exist [17:19] ubuntu91human: ...and you not?

It lets me take screenshots, auto uploads to some url shortening service and lets me paste it.. Does ubuntu have anything like that [17:20] minimec, what should i do with that kind of information?

I doubt anyone here would know how. [17:24] Dr_Willis_, can you just show that line entry in 40_costume file [17:24] rypervenche : You won't find a help if you go to other places than here.

[17:39] Eighteens: One way you may be able to get around that is use the Firefox Add-On "User Agent Switcher" [17:39] ubuntu91human, im okish, getting bored actually so helping ppl out while waiting for my advisor to read my paper :P [17:39] ubuntu91human: I can't like that in chewing. [17:40] del_diablo: what format is it and is it corrupt and can you check [17:40] nullp0inter: You can do this by using OO.o Base. [17:40] urr, how do I list current udp-traffic? [17:40] rooks : I see, are you a Japanese? [17:40] !gpgkey [17:40] ewook: it's statless - you can't [17:40] Dr_Willis_, Do i add 4 lines like this to 40_custom file? [17:40] Dr_Willis_, Do i add 4 lines like this to 40_custom file? http://pastebin.com/CkJGsnxg [17:40] rypervenche : Do you have a email? or phone may be? we could talk on the phone, I can teach you [17:40] bullgard4_ what is that [17:40] also i just tried to chmod a file, and it wont let me do it, even as root [17:40] ubuntu91human: Well, I can but it takes a long time. Before I was able to directly type in bopomofo. I want to only have to type "1qaz" to get what I want. [17:40] ubuntu91human, nope, im polish, thats a bit east in eu :) [17:40] gp5st: Done md5 already, it is not corrupt. I am getting just various "block x is not valid" when I use different tools to attempt to get it into readable .iso or just mounting it [17:41] ewook: Try iotop [17:41] bullgard4_: thanks [17:41] del_diablo: do you know what format it's suppose to be? [17:41] Hello...what folder are the gpgs keys stored in on my ubuntu server? [17:41] I can start to copy files to a windows server share [it creates the folder and the first file] then it stops and says invalid argument and fails to copy anything else .... whats up??? [17:41] rypervenche : nope, It didn't take that long from here [17:41] gp5st: How would I know? Its not iso9660, and that is all I know. It had a .ccd and a .sub file following it [17:41] hypnus9: google 'where does gpg store keys' and see if that helps [17:42] How did I stop ping localhost from pinging [17:42] Eighteens: A lot of websites (Facebook is not alone) do not test all possible OSes or purposely brick non-Windows OSes from accessing their website. User Agent Switcher helps to get around that. [17:42] hypnus9: by default, ~/.gnupg. [17:42] rypervenche : I can do it with directly input, single key for single word [17:42] rypervenche : I am really confused [17:42] sms_: ^C (control-c) [17:42] rypervenche : I am really confused, how come you can't do that?? [17:42] ubuntu91human: I sent you a pm [17:43] del_diablo: why did you say it was a .img file? what is the extension again? [17:43] thanks rusivi: [17:43] rypervenche : right on~~~ Let's talk in private. [17:43] gp5st: It is .img [17:43] you just said it wan't del_diablo [17:43] rusivi, it's working now tho, kinda wierd error i had for a brief moment [17:44] <_CommandeR_> for some reason empathy cannot log in to my hotmail account, it just spins and spins but no message or error. Please help [17:44] akiam: ani bhan [17:44] we're going to bring up a local mirror of Ubuntu. i'm not an Ubunt-er usually, so I'm not sure what the difference between an Archive mirror and a Releases mirror is. is a "Releases" mirror just the ISOs/etc.? [17:44] gp5st: No, I said it was not encoded in standard 9660. [17:44] rooks : please wait, I am now chatting with a guy who has problem in Mandarin input [17:44] Eighteens: np, you really don't want to use Facebook on Windows b/c it's a virus haven (Fortune 500 companies would know), in addition to the security breaches quasi-abuses going on. [17:44] How do you move a terminal process to the background after you started it? [17:44] ubuntu91human, ok, no worries :) [17:44] gp5st: How do I mount it? Or figure out its real container? [17:44] iskin: ctrl-Z, then "bg" [17:44] _CommandeR_: Empathy has a Debug window. Open it and analyze its messages. [17:44] anyone here can help me out with sound mixing in Ubuntu, or just general sound setup in Ubuntu? [17:45] rusivi: i've been telling my wife not to use windows to play her games on facebook, I hate virus's [17:45] akiam: don't be busy, lets talk [17:45] !sound | departure [17:45] departure: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [17:45] <_CommandeR_> stpierre, I am not sure but the releeases only got the latest once and i would guess that the Archive one got all the old ones aswell. [17:45] del_diablo: try the fuseiso or fuseis9660 tools [17:45] sipior, is there are different way to do that in xterm? Everytime IU ctrl+z it just shuts the process down. [17:45] iskin: it just looks that way. try typing "bg" next. [17:45] <_CommandeR_> bullgard4, how do i show the debug window? [17:45] Eighteens: If you replace her Windows box for a Ubuntu, the virus issue would be eliminated, let alone. [17:45] Dr_Willis_: Already did. Does not work. It can get it mounted, but the does not mount the content [17:46] <_CommandeR_> bullgard4, nwm === vj is now known as vijay [17:46] iskin: and then "jobs", for example. [17:46] sipior, lol, okay, thanks. *facepalm* [17:46] _CommandeR_: What does the "nwm" mean? [17:46] iskin: no need for a facepalm, it's not obvious if you've never done it before :-) [17:46] rooks, how about chatting in private, invite me please === akiam is now known as kandel [17:46] <_CommandeR_> bullgard4, nwm = never mind (found the debug window.) [17:47] del_diablo: that statement dident make much sence to me. :) but i have used those fuse tools for non-iso images in the past [17:47] just wanting to know does Ubuntu have mixing, for example set my input as what im listening to now? [17:47] I may do that, she's on w7, but only 10.04 has worked right for me, for some reason, i can't access other hd's the way i use to with the terminal, i have to physically point my mouse in the explorer to that hd' make the icon show on the desktop, before i can change dir to that drive in the terminal, very wierd [17:47] If I use x86_64, then does that mean all packages I can install via apt are 64bit apps? [17:47] Eighteens: I recently had a good friend of mine who was using MSFT Security Essentials, got a trojan, it cleaned it but not until after it bricked her OS, I gave her the choice, reinstall Windows to continue being at risk for Virsues/reinstalls or install Ubuntu and join the 21st century.... she's using Ubuntu and loving it! === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [17:47] hi gus! [17:47] Napster, I tried 64 bit, and... Nothing worked. :C [17:48] <_CommandeR_> bullgard4, nothing seems to happen only spins and is connecting. No new messages in debug [17:48] thevishy: those lines look about right to me.. BUT every disrto can be differnt so those optins may not be right . and you add those lines to the END of that 40_custome file. [17:48] wowsers. EVERY time i get a kernel update.. grub some how dies on my laptop. [17:48] fun [17:48] Fine Dr_Willis_ let me have a look again [17:48] Dr_Willis_: What part of "does not work properly" is hard to understand? Plain poor english is still readable <3 I got a .img a .sub and a .ccd, which i assume makes up 1 whole file. But its not mountable, already even attempted to use uif2iso and ccd2iso to get readable .iso :( [17:48] isnt lilo better than grub? === Gmorq is now known as Pakana [17:49] del_diablo: sounds like a very odd img file to me. [17:49] mike32547: where did ya get that info from? [17:49] Eighteens: Regarding auto-populating HDDs on your desktop I fixed that by using Storage Device Manager [17:49] del_diablo: maybe try xxd the file and search for some of the readable text in it. or strings the file and see if that has anything useful [17:49] How can I preinstal my Ubuntu whidowt losing any information on my PC like files, moves, games ? [17:49] Dr_Willis_ my brain [17:49] del_diablo: is this some game file? or other type of image? or just some data disk? [17:50] is there a good alternative to Nautilis [17:50] mike32547: lilo hasent been used by most disrtos in years.. there may be some still using it.. but i cant think fo any [17:50] Is there an equivalent for the pause command in windows batch files [17:50] Dr_Willis_: Its a game disk, I assume its just a direct cd rip [17:50] I mean [17:50] with bash [17:50] del_diablo: many of them are special 'copies' that include game protection information. that may be whats causing the issue. [17:51] rusivi, storage device manager ok, i'll look at that, however is that why i can't use the terminal to change directory's to different drives? because they don't auto populate [17:51] <_CommandeR_> Got some issues logging into msn with empathy, for some reason it will only spin and show "connecting" but nothing more... [17:51] Dr_Willis_: So what do I grep for with xxd? [17:51] rususvi, unless i navigate my mouse to the explorer where that drive exist or /media/drive/folder/ [17:51] how do i check if my ubuntu is 64bit or 32bit? [17:52] del_diablo: im not sure what you are trying to grep for.. or how grep figured into this. [17:52] _CommandeR_: I am concinced that the messages in the Debug window are detailed ennough and will lead to the culprit. So you better publish your Debug messages to a forum so that someone knowledgeable will have enought time to find the culprit. [17:52] ajsie, uname -a [17:52] del_diablo: yeah, if it was a copy protected disk they do things with the topology of disk [17:52] ajsie: Open gnome-monitor can see information. [17:52] someone help me?? [17:52] ajsie: Of course, uname -a is shell way. :) === blackmail is now known as kiddo [17:52] Dr_Willis_: You said xxd did you not? To search that ridicule output grep would be convinient [17:52] a friend installed ubuntu amd64 10.10 on your notebook, but its wireless is very slow. He was with the x86 version 10.10 and the wireless was work as normal, then I think it should be something the driver (Broadcom Corporation BCM43224) [17:52] del_diablo: don't grep jsut try to find something to search for to try to see what format it is. but if it was a copy protected disk i think you're out of luck [17:52] s/concinced/convinced/ [17:52] AbhiJit: thanks === kiddo is now known as sideKick [17:52] del_diablo: i dident mention xxd. [17:52] what does uname stand for? [17:52] Any one knows how can I preinstal my Ubuntu whidowt losing any information on my PC like files, moves, games and data? === sideKick is now known as kiddo [17:53] universal name? [17:53] oh wait. === kiddo is now known as sidekick [17:53] gp5st: So.... what do I do with xxd? [17:53] _CommandeR I have the same problem today [17:53] ajsie: I believe "userspace" name [17:53] okay [17:53] del_diablo: see the contents of the file and see if there is anything to tell you what the format may be [17:53] russivi: i just copied the app i was trying to run from another hd, to my /user/home directory, NOW it will let me change permissions [17:53] hi. am i able to do live usb boot if i put iso on an external usb HDD? or does it have to be a usb memory stick? [17:53] Dr_Willis_: Sorry for the derail, client i use for IRC lacks color difference, its kind of easy to miss that different people are saying stuff :P [17:53] thevishy: heres my 40_custome file. with entries for ubuntu iso's and a few others. http://pastebin.com/whbT087k [17:53] <_CommandeR_> bullgard4, hm after lurking i seem to found it. Received error code 500 (Internal Server Error) from contacts.msn.com:80 [17:53] russivi: i never had to do that in 10.04 [17:54] <_CommandeR_> bullgard4, would guess it is it [17:54] _CommandeR_: Me too. [17:54] if anyone else is interested in setting up grub2 to boot an ISO file from the hard drive they may want to look at this also --> http://pastebin.com/whbT087k [17:54] bbyee [17:54] _CommandeR_: me three [17:54] does anybody know when there will be the newest arduino version in the repos? [17:55] thanks for the help [17:55] When I test a LiveCD and wireless network doesn't work and it needs proprietary drivers, can I download them and test them in the LiveCD session? Use a USB thumb drive or something? [17:55] OH WOW!!! it's working now, so does that mean in 10.10, you can't run apps from other drives? they have to be in your /home/current user/directory [17:55] BajK: ubuntu dosent normally update packages just for newer versions. You may want to chck out the PPA's if you n eed a newer version of somthing. === emil is now known as Guest45110 [17:55] ardunio has a ppa? [17:55] In a Base 3.2.1 form, how can I search for uppercase and lowercase words starting with 'form'? I tried »LIKE (form* OR Form*)« but Base interprets this as »LIKE '(form*'« and does not find any entry. [17:55] gnubuntu : yes [17:55] Ok, the .ccd contains "track" data.... that is all i figured out. the .sub and .img file just contains too much data to bother sitting around for the infite output [17:55] anyone think they can help me figure out how to install this driver? http://pastebin.org/329192 are the instructions, make install ran fine and i see it listed in modprobe -l. When I do lspci the device shows up, so I know the card is in correctly [17:55] Dr_Willis_: they don't? o.O okay.. [17:55] i am getting mixed results from google does anyone know how to properly setup raid 1+0/10 on my ubuntu server data hard drives? [17:55] Eighteens: You can mount drives with an 'exec' or 'noexec' option.. [17:56] clr [17:56] BajK: one of the reasone for the 6mo release cycle. [17:56] BEAST_MODE: I have to use an external drive like a USB stick, yes? [17:56] BajK: and a reason for PPA's to be so popular [17:56] BEAST_MODE: Thx [17:56] gnubuntu : no [17:56] Dr_Willis_ i could see the drive in the explorer, so that means it was mounted right? [17:56] Eighteens: if you can see files on it.. its mounted. [17:56] gnubuntu : there should be plenty of room on your swap [17:56] gp5st: Hmmmm, have you checked where the kernel modules is stored? I think i have seen a similar mess before [17:57] hi. am i able to do live usb boot if i put iso on an external usb HDD? or does it have to be a usb memory stick? [17:57] BEAST_MODE: Ah, I see. Was wondering where it would go then. Thanks!! [17:57] gnubuntu : if it works I would save to a usb so no recompiling [17:57] <_CommandeR_> bullgard4, departure, seems allot of people got this issue, some thinking maybe Microsoft changed their servers (new msn client is out so...) [17:57] Dr_Willis_, thanks, but i couldn't go there in the terminal by typing cd /media/500gb/chat/bx "i had to physically point my mouse to that drive in the explorer, and access it" before it would let me change to that dir/ in the terminal, even as root [17:57] hblount: i belive a HD can work also. [17:57] Hi Nigers [17:58] del_diablo: what do you mean where it's stored? I'm just not sure how to follow the instructions as there are a bunch of 8250 extentions so i don't know which one to load in step 2 [17:58] Eighteens: if the drive is mounted on 'first access' and not from /etc/fstab at boot time.. that would make sence. [17:58] Dr_Willis: cool thanks [17:58] Dr_Willis_, ahh have i done something wrong, i noticed this after the first 10.04 update [17:58] for some reason my grub menu isnt showing upon boot [17:58] ah, the ppa is unfortunately not stated on the main download page but the playground [17:58] and i dont have a grubmenu.lst file under grub [17:59] eighteens: that is the way it works by default in 10.04 [17:59] network traffic monitor best pogram for ubuntu ? [17:59] Give me a link with ubuntu kernel source package please [17:59] the ppa is the same 018 old version [17:59] im trying to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu and i cant seem to get on the windows partition [17:59] Hi Dr_Willis_ please check now http://pastebin.com/tgYJn0iQ [17:59] since theres no boot menu showing up [18:00] Negiko, is GRUB showing Windows ? [18:00] eighteens: if you want things to be the way it worked previously, where things are mounted when you "cd" to a directory (eg. cd /media/sdb1) etc, you might have to look at, i think it was autofs [18:00] thevish: grub itself isnt showing [18:00] Negiko, did you chose to install grub while installing Ubuntu ? [18:00] thevishy: grub isnt showing up and theres no grubmenu file under it [18:00] thevishy: i cant really tell if its going to work or not.. try it and see... [18:01] God .......... oh my god!! rypervenche was right!!! 10.10 has a big problem with Mandarin input [18:01] give me a link on ubuntu kernel source package [18:01] thevishy; it should have, i originally was on ubuntu, installed 7 and it wouldnt let me get on ubuntu, used a live cd to fix my ubuntu drive, and now i cant get on 7 lmao [18:01] quiescens, thanks, i don't mind this, it seems more secure, i just freaked out because i couldnt get my old bx chat program to load, so i copied it to my /home dir and seems to work fine, after i set permissions, and checked the box to execute as program [18:01] Does anybody know why socks 5 proxies will not work on freenode ? [18:01] Monitor your Internet Traffic Stats using....????

[18:02] magistr: for what? [18:02] and then segmentation fault [18:02] thevishy: that may be rather ubuntu specific. differnt disrtos can use different names for vmlinuz and its locatiion on the iso [18:02] nebula: netstat -a -s -an [18:02] anywya to re-install aptitude? [18:02] does anyone how can i configure to work my home 5.1 audio studio ? [18:02] but this one is fine right ?

[18:02] hi. if i setup dual boot on my comp, which should i install first, windows or ubuntu? or dont matter? [18:02] thevishy: configuring grub2 to boot a disrto from its iso. is VERY much disrto-specific. [18:02] Ok. May u give me link with Ubuntu kernel source [18:02] install windows first [18:03] hblount: install windows first [18:03] thevishy: Only way to know is to try it.

[18:11] Joshehfox, can I do something like nautilus /home/user/some-folder [18:11] hi everyone! i have a problem with nvidia proprietary drivers. I've installed the drivers from the Ubuntu system and after the reboot the system freezes with a purple screen, even ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't work. How can i solve this problem? [18:11] Fine I fired it up [18:12] Ianrr, definitely :D [18:12] anyone think they can help me figure out how to install this driver? http://pastebin.org/329192 are the instructions, make install ran fine and i see it listed in modprobe -l. When I do lspci the device shows up, so I know the card is in correctly. [18:12] slingshot316, sure, i could check if i can get the package from your source [18:12] imean ran update-grub now will go for restart ...is it possible to make the GRUB2 wait for 2-5 seconds . Else I need to type escape [18:12] falckon : one second [18:12] defrysk, i just tried to get awn, by using sudo apt-get install awn, and it gave me Unable to locate package awn [18:12] thevishy: my grub waits 10 sec by default anyway.. its a setting in /etc/default/grub [18:13] Trying to figure out what program is using my net traffic, can you guys recommend something, i can see the ip in nethogs application, but that app doesn't show me the program name of application using the traffic [18:13] Well, I'm going [18:13] Good evening everyone <3 [18:13] *Poof* [18:13] Pici: is that for ALL files in that folder too? [18:13] weird ... i thought the folder was bigger =) [18:13] can I run dual monitors, or text on a TTY? [18:13] Eighteens, sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator awn-applets-common awn-applets-c-extras awn-settings [18:14] I want to run irssi on another monitor [18:14] Codenut: you mean 2 consoles on 2 monitors? [18:14] falckon : http://pastebin.com/sdqsPntq [18:14] Dr_Willis_, and after changing /etc/default/grub do I need to update again using update-grub ? [18:14] falckon : thats my sources.list file content [18:14] what is a console in computer terms? [18:14] defrysk, thank you, i was way off, i better copy that, and put it in my files for future reference [18:14] tjgillies: netstat -p [18:14] Eighteens, sudo apt-get install awn-applets-python-core awn-applets-python-extras [18:15] mrbdotse: thnx [18:15] nickserv identify 0123456 [18:15] XD [18:15] thevishy: after changeing the configs you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS rerun update-grub [18:15] ae: Please change your password, and pick a better one next time anyway. [18:15] Codenut: There are several with sloghtly differnt meanings. A "virtual console" is similar to a "terminal" program. [18:15] nefa [18:15] thevishy: you may want to read the grub2 docs/wiki pages... [18:15] Okay I will do that [18:15] Codenut: There are several with slightly differnt meanings. A "virtual console" is similar to a "terminal" program. [18:15] mrbdotse: that only shows me some /var stuff no PIDs or program names [18:15] Time for a reboot [18:15] hi everyone! i have a problem with nvidia proprietary drivers. I've installed the drivers from the Ubuntu system and after the reboot the system freezes with a purple screen, even ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't work. How can i solve this problem? [18:16] morning everyone, working on a bash script that manages media files which are all the exact same name with random endings. [18:16] Is there a way to determine filetpyes within CLI [18:16] DCGstudios: file [18:16] DCGstudios: the 'file' command [18:16] DCGstudios: eg: file myfile.txt [18:16] falckon: there? [18:16] slingshot316: yep, so you're running debian then ... [18:16] yea [18:17] falckon: i'm pretty new to all this [18:17] slingshot316:try the channel #debian - #ubuntu is for ubuntu support [18:17] defrysk, of the 2 lines you just typed to me, do the first one first, and then the second one? [18:17] falckon: i'm sorry if this is not the typing convention in irc but m a newbie [18:17] tjgillies: it does show the program but in a rather longwinded/complex manner. Atleast for me. Make sure you have a wide terminal window open [18:17] Valerio85: I'm by no means an expert, but try SSHing into the box, and running dmesg, that may give you some ideas where to start. [18:18] Eighteens, the second line is the packages i forgot [18:18] i found lsof -Pnl +M -i4 [18:18] you can do them all with one apt-get [18:18] In a Base 3.2.1 form, how can I search for uppercase and lowercase words starting with 'form'? I tried »LIKE (form* OR Form*)« but Base interprets this as »LIKE '(form*'« and does not find any entry. [18:18] i pasted the first line in my terminal, and it's going like crazy [18:18] Eighteens, apt-get install that is [18:18] defrysk, wait for that to finish, then do the second line? [18:18] Eighteens, correct [18:18] ikonia: okay , thank you [18:19] defrysk, ok, thanks again... [18:19] Thanks gang, gotta jump, I will look up virtual consoles under ubuntu [18:19] Hi all. The other day I installed with madwifi drivers on my laptop to test them out instead of the ath5k (ath9k?) drivers. I didn't like madwifi, so i tried to uninstall the drivers and revert to the original ones. Now I've somehow screwed up my system, and don't have ANY wireless device configured... could someone please help me fix this problem? [18:19] lol i cant belive iv never seen that file command [18:19] thanks alot [18:21] defrysk, that really looks nice [18:21] Eighteens, if you look for a package in apt try apt-cache search 'foo' next time, you'll find the package easyer that way without having to ask for the exact name [18:21] defrysk, it's over lapping this text box a bit, but i can see through it, so not too bad! [18:22] defrysk, Eighteens, use tab complete [18:22] anyone good with dvd and video editing ? [18:22] are these lines fine? GRUB_DEFAULT=10 [18:22] double tab lists them [18:22] GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 [18:22] GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true Dr_Willis_ [18:22] Eighteens, you can configure awn any way you like including 3d settings [18:22] thevishy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:22] defrysk, i'll note that in my box of tricks, thanks for the tips [18:22] Oh sorry it got food === fumanchu182 is now known as Evil_Qa_Dept [18:23] DCGstudios, correct, that too [18:23] defrysk, tab complete is like second nature lol [18:23] Will try and comeback hope those value are correct but didnt get GRUB menu ! [18:24] DCGstudios, Thank you for the tips too [18:24] DCGstudios, package hunt irc style [18:24] cant we configure spla\sh now in ubuntu? === Evil_Qa_Dept is now known as fumanchu182 [18:24] defrysk, lol yea sometimes i find myself trying to tab complete in documents [18:24] splash boot time image etc I just get blank booting [18:24] hello [18:25] DCGstudios, my worst habis is writing smilies in letters :s [18:25] testing xchat on a laptop i just installed for my sister this would be her nick [18:25] habit* [18:25] thevishy: go read the grub docs dude. its all covered in them. [18:25] Please let me know if we can configure splash in latest ubuntu .... [18:25] Dr_Willis_, fine guess am troubling u a lot :P [18:25] hi, I am trying to configure a keyboard shortcut for "gnome-screenshot -a" which will allow me to select an area. I can create a shortcut for just gnome-screenshot which of course already exists but I can't seem to get it to recognize the argument being passed. [18:25] its got very limited ram so i put xubuntu on it === ninjamasks_ is now known as ninjamasks [18:26] thevishy: what you are asking is coverd in like the first 50 lines of the grub2 wiki/threads. :) [18:26] Any one knows how can I preinstal my Ubuntu whidowt losing any information on my PC like files, moves, games and data? [18:26] had to modify the grub config to add nomodeset to make the video work [18:26] its an old nividia chipset [18:26] If I want to connect to a second server in my rack running LTS 10.04 using a GUI session versus SSH, what is my best/safest option. This will most likely remain a LAN requirement only.4 [18:26] Does anyone know anything about installing wireless drivers? I've got my system all messed up. [18:26] yonahw: That is a problem with 10.10 [18:26] ok let me read it now ! [18:26] ruthsnow: i had to use that with my new chipset - in order to install.. i then remove it once i install the nvidia drivers [18:26] slingshot316, if you're still there, ntfs-3g doesn't seem to be provided by any of your repositories [18:27] rypervenche: bug only in 10.10? I am running 10.10 guess that's what I get for early adopting [18:27] nividia site doesn't seem to offer driver for this old chip [18:27] what is the problem with openmsx-catapult? jesus christ!!! [18:27] is it possible to have my gedit icon on the panel execute as root? cant add sudo to it [18:27] yonahw: Yes, let me get you the bug report. [18:27] rypervenche: thanks for the info appreciate it [18:27] it's been about 5 ubuntu releases that this piece of software crap doesn't work [18:27] ended up using text mode install to even get installed and a second monitor hooked up to vga out [18:28] nevermind, just had to execute it through terminal i guess [18:28] well any way all is well now [18:28] she got a used lappy for price of power adapter [18:28] DCGstudios: there are 'edit as root..' extensions you can add to the file manager. [18:28] Hi, I've noticed that on Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04 if I hit PrntScrn to get a screen shot, it will exit full screen mode of things like video viewing on Vimeo, thus not getting the screen shot I wanted. This is not the case in Ubuntu 10.04. Is there a way to fix? [18:29] Dr_Willis_, i really just want it so when i click my gedit icon, it doesnt run as 1000:1000 and limits my permissions.. [18:29] it has no battery, she may be could buy new battery later [18:29] or just keep it plugged in [18:29] Dr_Willis_, is it possible to do it via the shortcut [18:29] DCGstudios: err.. why do you want to do such an insecure thing? really how often are you ediing config files [18:29] Can I protect my system from fork bombs without limit the maximal number of processes as in theory it is possible that there are limit+1 friendly processes? [18:30] DCGstudios: make a launcher run 'gksudo gedit' [18:30] Dr_Willis_, hundreds of times a day, im CEH and CPT certified, security isnt my issue [18:30] DCGstudios: security is always an issue.... [18:30] yonahw: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/642792 [18:30] Ubuntu kernel [18:30] rodrigo: If you're having problems with that package then you should log a bug so that the developers know. I don't see any open bugs for it currently. [18:30] Dr_Willis_, lol [18:30] it's very nice kernel [18:30] how do I find out my screen resolution on 10.4 ubuntu [18:31] i need on ubuntu kernel patches [18:31] DCGstudios: i have to wonder what you are doing that you are editing 100;s of config files a day. :) [18:31] !kernel | magistr [18:31] magistr: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages === kelvin is now known as Guest81510 [18:31] Dr_Willis_, scripting =\ [18:31] DCGstudios: the 'edit as root...' add on for nautuls is a safer idea. and thers a Compiz Extension that adds [ROOT] to the title of any window/app thats running as root... [18:31] how do you reboot/get back to x after going back to CLI while gdm is running?

I am not trying to use ALT+PrtSc. I am trying to setup a different keyboard shortcut to call gnome-screenshot -a. [18:32] I would use the term 'danger' [18:33] bah tis frozen now. hard reset :)( [18:33] Dr_Willis_, heh, its as secure as your make it. [18:33] I am wondering about being able to pass arguments to commands with keyboard shortcuts [18:33] yonah: i'm not aware of any problem with that? [18:33] er [18:33] DCGstudios: I think you just contridicted yourself... but whatever. :) every 'bt' user i see in here asking qwuestions normally seem to be the type of person that shouldent be usign BT. [18:33] I have 2 questions. 1, does the latest version of OpenSSL come with tlsext support built in? I downloaded the source and checked the compile flags, and it looks like it's built that way by default. 2, does Apache (in 10.10) come with SNI (Server Name Identifier) support? I really need to get SNI up and running, because there's no other way I will be able to use multiple SSL VHosts on the same IP and port, and I don't want to use [18:33] GNUTLS. [18:33] yonahw: Ah, well it's already a predefined shortcut, you should be able to just change it there. [18:34] no, it isn't [18:34] Hey how to get the link of latest mainline kernel? [18:34] the alt+prsc calls -w not -a [18:34] Dr_Willis_, lol well its not like theres much choice for security experts [18:34] rypervenche: I don't want the window I want to select an area [18:34] why cant ubuntu 10.10 be installed ? it gets to selecting country and then says its "ready when you are" and freezes up. all i get is an never-ending hourglass [18:34] I need it for testing of my display [18:34] which is the default log for ubuntu ? i get a whole list [18:34] Dr_Willis_, considering the difference in python, a large amount of the programs are not compatable on the newer ubuntu distros [18:34] hi guys. I am getting the error: user is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/env ...', although the script is in visudo. Does anyone has a clue why? [18:34] x404x: check cd for errors [18:34] yonahw: Ah ok, I'm sorry then. You'll need to wait for others to answer. [18:34] at !log [18:35] DCGstudios: Hmm... security experts always running as root... seems.. an odd thing. :) [18:35] yonahw: what is it doing wrong? it should work as expected and run the command with whatever arguments you specified [18:35] !log [18:35] !log [18:35] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [18:35] how can i use dpkg to install/reinstall aptitude if it is corrupted or failing? [18:35] Dr_Willis_, besides the fact that the root account having a password (hopefully a secure one) there really isnt much a security risk for most tasks. [18:35] NRemorse: you could use apt-get 'sudo apt-get reinstall aptitude' [18:36] ill try it [18:36] anyone have any ideas about the drivers for this serial card? it's a NetMos Technology PCI 9865 Multi-I/O Controller. http://pastebin.org/329192 are the instructions, make install ran fine and i see it listed in modprobe -l. When I do lspci the device shows up, so I know the card is in correctly [18:36] anyone? never tried to get a script executed as root that started with /usr/bin/env? [18:36] NRemorse: otherwise you'll have to download the .deb package manually and do dpkg -i [18:36] hm maybe ill make a new cd then, it seems to finish copy files and then stops. i though maybe it downloaded language packs or something, also it is not selecting correct keyboard settings [18:36] NRemorse: this may happen sometime when downloaded package contains error !, u have to remove that file from the /var/cache/apt den agin try apt-get install soft.name [18:37] guys what is the limiting factor with xvnc4viewer ? my throughput drops from [18:37] rweng: it's a way to make sure you're execuing the proper executable. like if i put my ruby in a nonstandard place env will know, but if you hardocde the path it won't work [18:37] !google [18:37] 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.

[18:37] then it goes back up to 3000/hextile sometimes etc.... [18:37] it's on wifi on my lan so i'd expect it to be faster [18:37] x404x: check downloaded images correctness [18:38] yonahw: it seems to work for me, where are you setting this shortcut? [18:38] ok, i reinstalled aptitude with apt-get remove aptitude && apt-get install aptitude and now aptitude works fine [18:38] Dr_Willis_: yep, thats me too (with ruby). So how would i solve it? [18:38] x404x: its told in ubuntu site how to check [18:38] but apt-get still doesn't work it says: E: Invalid operation safe-upgrade [18:38] rweng: no idea :) not sure on the problem. i dont use ruby.. and its my bed time. :P [18:38] how can i tell which drivers are loaded [18:38] i have ubuntu 10.10. is it possible to change the login screen? [18:38] Dr_Wilis_: alright, good night. thanks for the help today! [18:38] quiescens: do you mean the command or the shortcut. I created a shortcut in system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts to run gnome-screenshot -a which works from the terminal correctly, however the shortcut runs seemingly without the argument [18:39] NRemorse: so now you are back to the actual problem? :) [18:39] Anyone know a linux native uue encoder/decoder? [18:39] well no...aptitude works but apt-get still isn't [18:39] rweng: did you see my post to you earlier? [18:39] crosbow: yes u can change login screen use ubuntu tweak [18:39] NRemorse: "safe-upgrade" is an option to aptitude, not apt. "apt-get upgrade" is basically the same (actually a bit more conservative than aptitude's 'safe-upgrade').

[18:42] oh [18:42] any ideas as to how I could track down the source of my problem? [18:42] gp5st: so on my old server i had a script that started with #!/usr/local/bin/ruby and in visudo i got /scripts/mysript.rb - that worked fine [18:42] yonahw: perhaps it would be easier for me to ask which you're using [18:42] murlidhar: does it have a proper inet addr?

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo === rohith is now known as roor [18:43] gp5st: but now i installed rvm, so that i can easily install different ruby versions at the same time. And, the script is a link to a file in a github repository that gets regularly updated, so i dont want to change the first line of this script [18:44] lol === roor is now known as rohith [18:44] libaudio2 libmng1 libqt4-dbus libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqt4-xml libqtcore4 libqtgui4 [18:44] env will use the default ruby set in rvm [18:44] quiescens, rohith sorry mentioned that earlier. I am running 10.10 here and trying to setup a keyboard shortcut to call "gnome-screenshot -a" without the quotes in the command. When I press the keys it seems to just call "gnome-screenshot" [18:44] this is error im getting bro [18:44] как в weechat'е перейти в приват? [18:44] ksk_: that is not an error [18:45] then wat it is ??

(I have a friend who says he has some problems) [18:52] ksk_: what's wrong? what's ur problem? [18:52] rweng: oh, i think i understand. well you'll have to let them use env but that's prob not good, so just hardcode the ruby path, that's best in this case [18:52] yeah Webtester01 not much there [18:52] rohith: yes, on port 22 [18:53] thanks [18:53] quiescens: thanks, I have a pretty default setup here didn't customize all that much [18:53] when im trying to install virtual box I'm getting error [18:53] Folks!

[18:56] I'm having some major problems installing Ubuntu 10.04 [18:56] ksk_: How are you trying to install it [18:56] Webtester01: Interesting [18:56] bullgard4_: ok, so why are you now asking #ubuntu if you've been told [18:56] ksk_: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose [18:56] with the help of ubuntu software centre === ubuntu is now known as NeedHelpPlz [18:56] !who [18:56] 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 :) [18:56] Whenever a short sound sounds.. my sound crackles. It didn't do this earlier yesterday. I don't really know what I could've done. Any tips? [18:56] ikonia: Doubt is the beginning of all wisdom. [18:56] ksk_: And does it say it will install those too?

Do you need them or is it saying it will install them [18:58] !conky [18:58] think i understand http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/netmos-9865-%7C%7C-6-x-serial-port-pci-card-%7C%7C-what-is-lib-modules-$-uname-r-build-746569/ [18:59] pome - gconf-editor Apps>Nautilus>Desktop>Volumes_visible [18:59] ksk_: sudo apt-get install name of the application u want to install [18:59] AbeSimpson[RIA]: corn?

[19:15] Pici: aight....my fault! sorry sanjay [19:15] ActionPar : yes, on running TOP i could see, %CPU 30 and %MEM 50 for virtualbox, CPU% reaching upto 70 also sometimes, does virtualbox burning my CPU ? how to tune it [19:15] my 10.10 install (after restoring to open video drivers, then re-jockeying) is working beautifully [19:15] vjredd: try using tab to complete my nick ;) [19:15] rohith: oh yes, incidentally I'm connecting to the host from my laptop not the same computer [19:15] thanks for all the support! [19:15] rohith: that'll be why localhost doesn't work [19:16] almost every music player i tried, its like something wrong with audio driver, it was working well before i upgrade to 10.10 [19:16] vjredd: virtualbox will use a lot of cpu so will explain why your cpu gets hot [19:16] tranqui: .... >_> [19:16] ok - I give up: how in the HELL do I work with or control upstart settings ... (!?!) [19:16] sanjay: what video chip do you use? [19:17] mrbdotse: yep I'm stupid :D [19:17] mistergibson: upstart jobs are configured by the files in /etc/init [19:17] its mp3 [19:17] mistergibson: as in /etc/rc.d or /etc/init.d ?

[19:18] vjredd: have u install vbox already? [19:18] How do I use uuencode? I want to uuencode a file.ext and result with file.ext.uue [19:18] vjredd: if not then u can install it now....but it's virtualbox-ose [19:18] ActionParsnip: yeah [19:18] how could i know that, what's audio chip, i am using dell inspiron laptop [19:19] vjredd: oonce u iinstall windows xp in virtual box u can use all ur software by installing inside windows xp in virtual box just like u use dat os [19:19] !upstart [19:19] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.

I've successfully installed 10.10 srv i386 + db2-express-c 9.7.2 . What do I need to enable my php5 applications to connect to DB2. I've installed to php5-odbc, trying to use odbc_connect() with no luck. Was trying to ask this question on #db2 but it's quiet. [19:22] Anyone has omnibook XE3-GF [19:22] mistergibson: that site sorta explained where to find the files used by "upstart" :) /etc/init :D [19:23] s_dudko, #ubuntu-server ? [19:23] mrdbotse: yeah, I don't want to have to write a .conf script for pulseaudio [19:23] but one was not installed [19:23] ok [19:23] mrdbotse: is there a way to service >blah< enable/disable ? [19:24] mistergibson: well, to comfort you, I odn't have a .conf for pulseaudio either [19:24] ook [19:24] not everything has been converted to use the newer style upstart configs [19:24] s_dudko, i always found answers there, but you need some patience due to being smaller channel that this... [19:24] anyone want to take a stab at an issue with Ubuntu Server? Config problems [19:24] mistergibson: there's a script to save the current alsa-mixer settings, but I think the pulseaudio is largely related to gdm/X startup [19:24] evening all. Since upgrading to 10.10, my wireless won't connect. I can see networks but when I enter my passcode, it just tries to connect for ages then fails (presents the dialog to enter passcode again) [19:25] mrbdotse: y dont u try reading installation instructions from alsa web site ? === Tanvir is now known as Bye [19:25] scott2: Don't ask to ask, just ask. Also, #ubuntu-server might be a better place to ask. [19:25] yes, I think it is similar - but not dep on gdm === Bye is now known as Tanvir [19:25] rohith: I'm not the one having problems :P I have working sound ;) [19:25] hello i am trying to install an external sceen on ubuntu 10.04. Xrandr shows http://pastebin.com/RJqD9Ya9 what to do [19:25] after grub, a flashing cursor appears at upper left corner, approximately 10 seconds later screen refreshes and I think the resolution gets corrected. after that a few lines shows up (I can't even see them) and then gdm shows up. resolution of grub is correct btw. [19:25] dell inspiron1545 [19:25] thanks [19:25] hi everybody! I want to set up a win7/ubuntu dualboot system with a partition for win7 (ntfs), a root-partition and a big one for all the date... Which file-system should I use for the /root and the /home partition with all data? [19:26] Jigal: plug the screen in... done [19:26] pulseaudio should still be /etc/rc2.d/S50pulseaudio which is /etc/init.d/pulseaudio === lokkju_ is now known as lokkju [19:26] fcn: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [19:26] evident: your only option if you want to share data is fat32 [19:27] I cant figure out my Atheros wireless problems, throughput is so *itty. [19:27] quit [19:27] xilo, not true [19:27] evident: you can use ext2 and windows can access it with www.fs-driver.org [19:27] evident, i know there are free 'drivers' for win xp (possibly 7) for ext2, but not sure if thats viable solution for linux today [19:27] hello there [19:27] How do I close my X session from the terminal? I lost control of my WM or something. I can move my mouse and type, but I can't click on anything or alt-tab. [19:27] reversely, ubuntu supports ntfs nicely [19:27] gosha1: sudo restart gdm [19:27] gosha1, gnome-screensaver-command --lock [19:28] gosha1, or logout [19:28] Alternatively; how do I enable Ctrl-Alt-Bakspace? [19:28] I have Data/Game/Movie drives in NTFS format and the linux-partition (ubuntu 10.04) has no problems. [19:28] $ logout? [19:28] gosha1, settings keyboard [19:28] its easier to say the.. safest, option for sharing data is fat32 [19:28] evident, ubuntu can read/write ntfs by now. you can't use a windows file system for /home [19:28] gosha1: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/enable-ctrl-alt-backspace-in-ubuntukubuntu-10-04lucid-lynx.html [19:28] So whats new in 10.10 [19:28] :P [19:28] quiescens: fat32 doesn't have any sort of permissions support [19:28] quiescens, but won't work for his home partition [19:28] ciao [19:28] !notes | dominicdinada ( [19:28] dominicdinada (: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 [19:29] dominicdinada: http://www.zdnet.com/photos/ubuntu-1010-maverick-meerkat-released-whats-new-and-improved/473620 [19:29] evident, i would use ext4, because then at least you have the option of windows tools who can access it. be aware however that some are not free or might break something [19:29] I see that there is a new resource intensive hungry interface, I am at the roadmap but some people like a simple page just to see why the 1 gig upgrade [19:29] What. $ gnome-screensaver-command --lock didn't do anything. I guess restarting gdm is my last option [19:29] help with nvidia will be greatly appreciated [19:30] well, in terms of being less likely to fail in some way [19:30] nvidia card was working before upgrading from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 [19:30] sorry my intenet crashed... were there any answers between my last post and the last one from step21? [19:30] dominicdinada: then install LXDE and use that instead, or install Lubuntu [19:30] Now I'm getting the message: This driver is activated but not currently in use [19:30] I need help with wireless on an HP netbook mini, using wicd - I can't get associated/validated [19:30] ActionParsnip: Maybe I will do that after the upgrade is done [19:30] can't boot using the generic kernel (must use recovery mode to get into X) [19:30] evident, you can't use a windows file system for home. [19:31] Video card: Asus AGP-V8200 T2-T5 GeForce-3 [19:31] evident, I would use ext4 then in theory there are tools to access it from windows. [19:31] driver installed: nvidia-96 - 96.43.18 (certified) [19:31] ohh nevermind... I used ext2... [19:31] Mother board: Asus P4B533 [19:31] evident, be aware however that some are unstable. maybe paragon has a driver for windows [19:31] Folks. Here's two pastebins: One from LL running in gui, one from LL running in console mode. It's a wireless networking problem...*what* should I do to get my wireless network to work in console mode??? http://paste.ubuntu.com/516965/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/516974/ [19:31] c1arc: remove all the nvidia drivers and you will use nv or nouveau driver which supports your chip [19:31] Ubuntu version: Maverick 1010 [19:32] I'll check whether fs-driver has drivers for ext3 as well... or ext4 [19:32] Is der any way to acess ext4 file system from windows 7? [19:32] step21, ext2 was tested at least by /me and ActionParsnip as well (i did not test the usage for home partition thought) [19:32] it seems [19:32] xilo, nope [19:32] xilo, no imput screen [19:32] Is der any way to acess ext4 file system from windows 7? [19:32] evident, yes, also okay. ext4 is backward compatible mostly afaik [19:32] any ideas for my wifi issue? its weird I can see the network but not connect [19:32] ActionParsnip: will it support all the resolutions etc? [19:32] xilo, do i need to reboot [19:32] c1arc: sure [19:32] rohith: I was aware of an ext2/3 tool that used to work fine for accessing those systems, I am unaware if it works for ext4 or if there is an alternative utility [19:32] brontoeee, tested how? to access from windows? [19:33] step21, yes [19:33] google knows rohith http://www.soluvas.com/read-browse-explore-open-ext2-ext3-ext4-partition-filesystem-from-windows-7/ [19:33] step21, with free drivers even [19:33] realcooluser: yeahh i too had used ext2 tools but didnt get any ext4 tools [19:33] ActionParsnip, I don't have an Nvidia card neither a Toshiba Satellite A10 and my xorg configuration is just fine. It must be something else. [19:33] thanks, I'll try the default xorg.conf which Ibelieve has the nouveau [19:33] xangua: thanks [19:33] brontoeee, i know that it works, but i also know that some programs/drivers for it are quite unstable [19:34] and i said ext4 because it is more modern etc. then ext2 but backward compatible [19:34] whats a good vnc server for ubuntu that allows the clipboard to work with a windows client? [19:35] brontoeee, which drivers did you use? [19:35] linguy: krdc works fine i think [19:35] hey, when i want to log into ubuntu my screen is full of a large checker pattern of many colors. i cannot see anything and can only login if i reboot and recover with 'failsafex' . does anyone know what would cause this kind of behavior? [19:35] step21, 85% sure it was http://www.fs-driver.org/ [19:35] linux_probe: it comes with vino by default, you may be going OTT with VNC, what are you accessing the server to achieve? [19:36] rohith, i need a server...krdc is a client [19:37] It seems that imap email does not save my send emails in evolution 2.30.3 . Anybody any ideas? I tried a bunch...it works fine in Thunderbird but i really like evolution... [19:37] linguy, i can test clipboard functionality for you in a few mins [19:37] i have a win7 box here and a 10.04 server(with x running) [19:37] Is there a way to remove the title bar (on top of Firefox,chrome etc) ubuntu 10.10 [19:38] does anyone here use the LCDd and is there a way to turn off the display through software when you aren't needing it? mine is just constantly running on the physical device [19:38] sorry didnt see dat .. may be u try xming from windows .. i think it allow copy to clipboard option .. And i dont think its a server feature [19:38] Bing0, k, will wait [19:38] alright then... push your thumbs... going offline for install now... ;-) [19:38] netcitizen, press F11 ;) [19:38] linguy: sorry didnt see dat .. may be u try xming from windows .. i think it allow copy to clipboard option .. And i dont think its a server feature [19:38] michiwend: huh.. smartiepants :P [19:39] linguy: am using krfb to share desktop in ubuntu === MeanEYE_ is now known as MeanEYE [19:39] irc://irc.euirc.net [19:40] linguy, tightvnc worked. [19:40] hey, when i want to log into ubuntu my screen is full of a large checker pattern of many colors. i cannot see anything and can only login if i reboot and recover with 'failsafex' . does anyone know what would cause this kind of behavior? [19:41] Is there a way to remove the title bar (on top of Firefox,chrome etc) ubuntu 10.10 . posting again .. anybody ? [19:41] hey all, i've got a problem. I'm usually able to connect to my ubuntu 10 desktop via remote desktop, however, my latest reboots, it won't get so far that it loads the remote desktop application so i can connect. However another application (inside init.d) boots and i can access it through a web location. Is there a way for me to telnet/vnc/get in to my server another way? I need to know whats blocking my ubuntu server to fully load [19:41] netcitizen, do you mean the window-decorations? [19:41] sounds like a graphics driver problem [19:41] man this is a weird server [19:41] purplefool: does it happen with all users? [19:42] x11vnc question: two outstanding issues, 1) is there a way to pass mouse4/mouse5 over x11vnc for forward/back in a web browser? 2) does anyone's quality settings max out unexpectedly causing everything to be very slow until you reconnect? [19:42] I have a fresh install of ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix. when the system starts and desktop finishes loading, any dialog box (including mousing over the left chooser bar) causes the desktop to reset (screen goes black, desktop reloads -- not a reboot, just a refresh of desktop). Any thoughts? [19:42] Amadiro: I am talking about the title bar that shows up above the firefox window. [19:42] ActionParsnip, there is only me on this system at the moment...but i was never able to see the other account (for my kids) and so i killed it. [19:42] this happens over and over -- the system is unusable b/c nothing can be done between resets. [19:42] woofthing: log in to terminal session (CTRL+ALT+F1 at login screen) and get updated there [19:42] Bing0, weird..thats what I'm using... [19:42] see virtualbox using my CPU [19:43] PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND [19:43] 5944 stevens 20 0 857m 646m 573m S 74 33.2 16:56.69 VirtualBox [19:43] linguy, i can check ver # [19:43] vjredd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:43] purplefool: make a new user then, see if its settings based [19:43] ActionParsnip: thank you SO much. [19:43] Bing0, you understand Im talking about copying text from the client and pasting into the server? [19:43] yes [19:43] linguy, perhaps the vnc server on my 10.04 box differs than yours? [19:43] pls, check what version...I'm using 1.39 [19:44] Is there a way of doing this: an application prints text onto a terminal window, and then it gets saved into a file? [19:44] ActionParsnip, even if it is at the login screen? this seems a bit weird but i will give it a whirl. [19:44] netcitizen, hm, yes, that is the window decoration. I don't think metacity has an easily accessible option to remove it for a particular window (though there might be some option in gconf, and I think compiz' window-manager also has more advanced features like that), but if you just want the window to have as much screen space as possible, try pressing F11. [19:44] linguy, 1.3.10 [19:44] sms_, google for redirection [19:44] is vnc the only way in to a remote ubuntu ? [19:44] Amadiro: lemme check compiz again.. F11 option was always there. but i don't want it that way. [19:44] purplefool: can always login to a terminal session and do it there (CTRL+ALT+F1 will get you that at login screnn) [19:45] Bbl, downgrading to 10.04 LTS [19:45] please can someone help with my wifi. it sees netwroks but won't connect. [19:45] Does ubuntu 10.10 have any tools to tune trim or otherwise tweak ssds? [19:45] Rapster: you can use x forwarding, or (lighter) use web based interfaces if your apps support it [19:45] sms_: This will help: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide [19:45] Kyle__: hdparm may have some, using ext2 helps lots [19:45] ActionParsnip, i have tried this and can never get back into the gui...i'm a bit limited in my understanding i guess :) [19:46] purplefool: ctrl+alt+f7 gets you back [19:46] linguy, if you need further help, just PM me [19:46] ActionParsnip, :) guess we'll be seeing. [19:47] ActionParsnip: tHANKS. [19:47] Ack, stupid capslock key. [19:47] Kyle__: np bro [19:47] Can someone help me? Idk what I have done. Went into the Catalyst Control Center, and set some things up for my dual monitors. Rebooted and didnt care for how it looked. So I went to change it. Only when I click on the Catalyst Control Center now the computer reboots. I cant change the settings at all. I have tried both Centers. (It puts a regular center and an adminstrative center for things that require admin privelages) but it [19:47] just restarts the pc when I click on either of them. PLEASE HELP!!!

[19:49] because it didn't die when it should [19:49] Ok will do. [19:49] it's a process i spawned with sudo [19:50] even "sudo kill 2774" didn't do it [19:50] and i prefer not to be forced to restart the server whenever i need to kill it [19:50] hello [19:50] deadroot: kill -9?

[19:55] departure: I don't know if that is possible. HDMI audio is provided by the opensource GPU driver I guess. If it has a module for its own, you could blacklis it in /etc/modprobe.d [19:55] Pici there was no install it sat at the Ubuntu loading screen forever and now I have a graphical login screen???? [19:56] mini: the reason is wine is picking it up as defualt mixer [19:56] but the launcher of wine detects my onboard sound(as it should) but when launching some apps it will default to this HDA ATI HDMI [19:57] departure: Can't you change that in winecfg?

[21:22] soroush: r u trying to edit the main men's [21:22] menu's ... sorry [21:22] !upgrade | lesshaste [21:22] lesshaste: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [21:22] Mahjongg: it'll be a longer time before they need to upgrade as the release is supported longer [21:22] Mahjongg: I would not suggest moving them over, because 10.04 is an LTS and upgrades have a frightening fail rate [21:22] yes [21:23] lahwran: It completely hands, cant switch vterms no activity on optical drive led or hdd? [21:23] soroush: its also the app you use to add your own items [21:23] soroush: have u right clicked to "Edit Menu"? === OnlyAway is now known as OnlyHuman [21:23] erin-vyes18: Sorry connection dropped. Sorry don`t know that card :( [21:23] TheSarge: do other operating systems work? and did I miss it - what graphics chip? [21:23] no [21:23] ActionParsnip: oh dear ! SystemError: E:Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing. [21:23] ok, I have a question not off topic: 1NTFS, 1 FAT, 1NTFS, 1EFI, how to install Ubuntu without messing with the windows 7? If I replace the 3d partition by an extended, won't the EFI partition be a problem? What's the use of it? [21:23] soroush: or go to System>Preferences>Main Menu [21:23] To those that guided me me on removing the old kernels: I'm in Package Manager right now. I see linux-headers-ibm-2-6-32-xx- server, preempt and server entries. Do I need to remove all these except the latest 'xx' versions? [21:24] lahwran: I dont know what graphics card, yes everything from windows xp to server 03 [21:24] lesshaste: sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/archives/partial [21:24] lahwran, what about when 11.04 is released? keep them still in LTS or would you move them over to 11.04? [21:24] lesshaste: you need to copy the files from the folder which were previously there [21:24] Mahjongg: then you will have to upgrade to maverick, then to natty (11.04) [21:24] ActionParsnip: yes but I have done something odd... could you paste "ls /var/cache/apt" please? [21:24] grpace: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/10/17/remove-ubuntu-kernels-you-dont-need/ [21:24] I seem to have apt/apt [21:24] I'm sorry... The last is 'generic'. [21:24] Mahjongg: it depends. you could probably leave them on 10.04 for the next few years, if they're offline; if they're online then you'll need to upgrade for security reasons [21:25] ActionParsnip, yes I am aware. This is why I thought LTS to LTS was not possible [21:25] im used wine and installed flash player and then i remove it but flash player icon still there and i wanna to remove it [21:25] lesshaste: http://pastebin.com/U07uJ7ke [21:25] Mahjongg: it is, natty isn't LTS either [21:25] lahwran, they are online and they are doing security updates [21:25] ActionParsnip, positive [21:25] Jason... That's what I'm trying to do... I just don't know which ones :( [21:25] ActionParsnip: thanks.. fixed.. bloody symlinks :) [21:26] Mahjongg: next LTS will be 12.04 [21:26] Mahjongg: i went from 8.04 to 10.04 with no fuss, just had to start a special instance of the update manager [21:26] vu1kan, thanks good to know [21:26] Mahjongg: so you won't have to touch the distribution jump for 2 years, easy life [21:26] grpace: make sure you only search linux-image-2 [21:27] ActionParsnip, yes, I think I'll do that for their box [21:27] on a different note, when upgrading to 10.04 there doesn't seem to be an option to change to ext4 [21:27] how could I identify is system is 32 or 64bit? ubuntu server 8.04 [21:27] is that right? [21:27] lahwran: So is there anything I can try? The guy is gunna use windows if I cant get this goin :( [21:27] FrEaKmAn_: uname -m will tell you about the current kernel [21:27] TheSarge: why shouldn't he use windows? [21:28] gaah! "The upgrade is now aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 1151M free space on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 892M of disk space on '/'. " [21:28] lesshaste: yes, thats right. You can convert to ext4 but you wont get the full advantages of ext4 with a converted fs [21:28] jrib, x86_64.. so 64bit.. thanks [21:28] ActionParsnip, my laptop will be jumping with 6 month cycles though. A graduate students laptop. not a developer... [21:28] FrEaKmAn_: uname -m [21:28] lahwran: Webserver/File Server.. I am not admining a windows server lol [21:28] even after the /var/cache/apt symling [21:28] symlink [21:28] lesshaste: then free space, I recommend you uninstall unused kernels (if you havent already) and remove openoffice for the duration of the upgrade [21:28] TheSarge, you could try and boot with apic turned off, i think you pass noapic to the kernel in grub, worth a shot [21:29] lesshaste: or if you have a 2Gb SD card / USB sorage you can move the temp storage to there [21:29] ActionParsnip: actually.. what is openoffice called? [21:29] sudo apt-get remove .... [21:29] (lol...gettin' flooded by the floodbots...oh yea) [21:29] ActionParsnip: I am trying to follow your tips :) [21:30] lesshaste: sudo apt-get --purge remove openoffice.org* [21:30] mattgyver: Ya that is one of the install options, i tried it :( [21:30] 366MB will be freed [21:30] not enough! :) [21:30] how would I chainload the main bootloader on another harddrive from grub? kinda like ubuntu livecd's "boot from first harddisk" only I want to tell the first harddisk to boot the second harddisk [21:31] In a bash file, how do i save the output of echo "Hello world" | grep -c "world" to a variable?

[21:32] TheSarge, outside of that and trying to run with the VESA drivers (which it might be by default) thats all i could think outside of troubleshooting video drivers [21:32] old kernel removal? any advice on how to do that [21:32] !danger [21:32] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [21:32] oh noo..

I just did that. I'm seeing 2.6.32.xx with preempt, server, virtual and generic after the 'xx''. The latest I see is 2.6.32-25. I also see linux-image.2.6.32.xxx.ec2 (with 308 being the highest xx value).

[22:09] worked fine for me [22:10] Quadrescence: its a REALLY bad habit to form [22:10] yeah it is [22:10] X-Sleepy-X - http://paste.ubuntu.com/517052/ [22:10] ActionParsnip - trying that now [22:10] ilovefairuz, it never worked on my laptop, I used to be able to just kill the applet, and it reappeared on its own, I cant make it work nowadays, I had to reimage my laptop because an update completely killed it [22:10] hoare: then 6Gb for swap, as you have 2Gb or more RAM and the rule of thimb is 1xRAM for 2b RAM and more [22:10] hoare: if you dont need suspend then 5=6Gb is plenty for Linux so you can have zero swap if you wish [22:10] <_Shade_> how do i bring back the volume control in my panel? [22:11] baba_bubba, i have network-manager installed, as well as network-manager-gnome [22:11] hoare: plus, the rule of thumb is too much swap given the amount of memory most systems have nowadays [22:11] tucemiux: strange, try nm-applet [22:11] ActionParsnip: I use hibernate-suspend too much. However anytime I use awk 'NR>1{print $4}' /proc/swaps , I see that it uses 0 [22:11] should anyone be interested in solution to my question: I used "patsubst": "PATH_OBJECTS = $(patsubst %.o, $(BUILDDIR)/%.o, $(OBJECTS))" [22:11] ilovefairuz, ive tried nm-applet to no avail [22:12] ActionParsnip - tried that in the terminal mate, no output or anything, does that mean its loaded? what next? still no wireless points in network manager [22:12] hoare: if you add: vm.swappiness = 0 to /etc/sysctl.conf then run: sudo sysctl -p your OS will only use swap when absolutely necessary [22:12] p3nsi0n3r: yes, no output == all is well [22:12] _Shade_: right-click the panel, click 'add to panel' add the 'indicator applet' [22:12] hoare: not really. swap *will* get used if the kernel considers it a good idea, but that will in reality only happen if you're doing some particular things like copying very large files or such. [22:12] p3nsi0n3r: rerun the scan command, do you get SSIDs? [22:12] tucemiux: open a terminal and type: killall nm-applet; nm-applet see if there are any error messages? [22:12] hoare: and 6gb seems overboard. just make it another 3 in my opinion [22:12] Is there a way to disable enforcement of the execution bit in nautilus? [22:13] ActionParsnip - exactly the same, no change, interface doesnt support scanning [22:13] ilovefairuz, you mean: ps aux|grep nm-applet; killall nm-applet ??? [22:13] <_Shade_> vu1kan, thanks [22:13] I was wondering if anyone could help me with a mouse problem that I am having right now [22:13] LjL: ActionParsnip thanks all [22:13] is there a terminal widget, i just installed an update that said terminal widget [22:13] tucemiux: nope, killall nm-applet should be enough [22:13] hey does anyone have apache experience? [22:14] tucemiux: killall -9 nm-applet to be sure [22:14] ilovefairuz, no such process [22:14] I upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04 and now when I shutdown, I see shutdown messages in a really low screen resolution .. any idea how to fix this? [22:14] Is accessing network devices like your router or printer using names ie.. http://Laserjet5 instead of http://192.168.1.40 a DNS or DHCP feature? [22:14] tucemiux: ok good, just type 'nm-applet' and see if there are any errors [22:14] Does wget autoresume if for instance wifi connection is lost and then reenables? [22:15] ehcah: DNS [22:15] <_Shade_> vu1kan, can i disable the messenger thingy in it? [22:15] vu1kan: it is dpkg-reconfigure is what i was looking for and now i have a gui again \o/ [22:15] ilovefairuz, im going to have to use 2 utilities, one to set phasers to eth1, another to scan and attempt to login to the wireless routers, nm-aplet doesnt work on my laptop [22:15] Hey people, got a hardware releated question. Will this CD drive work out the box in ubuntu? [22:15] http://www.amazon.co.uk/Duronic-External-CD-ROM-Drive-Black/dp/B001GII16K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287600116&sr=8-1 [22:15] test34 I found this happened when I used the proprietary driver for the graphics card. Otherwise cannot help... [22:15] ilovefairuz: Any particular file under BIND? [22:15] _Shade_: yes...i'll find a link for ya... [22:16] tucemiux: the questions is why? but anyhow, you could try using wicd instead of nm [22:16] Tommo, I will try to reinstall the nvidia driver then and see if it helps, thanks [22:16] Hey, Empathy doesn't log in to my MSN account... but pidgin does. [22:16] stealth_: should do [22:16] How should i fix that [22:16] ? [22:16] ActionParsnip, great mate [22:16] Does wget autoresume if for instance wifi connection is lost and then reenables? [22:16] ActionParsnip - exactly the same, no change, interface doesnt support scanning [22:16] test34 if you have the desktop enabled go: System > Administration > Hardware drivers. [22:16] Admin question. I have a problem which I now believe is directly related to LVM2 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I experience high iowait times using LVM2 and the problem is thoroughly explained here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1487564 (including my various trial and error attempts). If anyone could take a glance and throw any suggestions my way, It'd be much appreciated. [22:17] ughh, seems like chromium wont install because of dependency issues [22:17] did fix broken deps, said it was successful, but still nothing [22:17] ehcah: nope, the printer advertises router, and then it can be resolved using normal DNS lookups [22:17] sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [22:17] any help would be greatly appreciated [22:17] udo: /etc/init.d/samba: command not found [22:17] ilovefairuz, ill give wicz a try, thanks [22:17] why ? === eskil is now known as Guest38556 [22:18] lindows: you have to install samba first [22:18] ehcah: advertises its "host name" [22:18] oraqol: are you using it via http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ [22:18] Tommo, I think you mean "Additional Drivers" [22:18] sudo apt-get install samba [22:18] I installed 10.10, when i get to login screen on reboot I see a blank square where i would be logging in, and bottom blank bar. how can i reinstall this part?

[22:19] tommo, I will activate the latest version, 173 was activated [22:19] X-Sleepy-X - http://paste.ubuntu.com/517052/ [22:19] lindows: try: sudo service smbd stop; sudo service smbd start [22:19] test34: If you go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers you will see which drivers are being used. [22:19] ok [22:19] lindows: try tab completing file names, guessing stuff just makes you look silly [22:19] p3nsi0n3r: i'm already searching for answers [22:19] or what terminal program can i run to check my ssd drive for errors or clean it up [22:19] nertil@Maverick:/etc/init.d$ sudo service smbd restart [22:19] smbd start/running, process 24686 [22:19] is this ok now?

[22:21] oraqol: you wan tthe "dev" channle? [22:21] lindows: yes its running and it's PID is 24686 [22:21] its not important, tho id prefer chromium over chrome [22:21] why i cant see my ubuntu on the windows network than [22:21] oraqol: try: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [22:22] lindows: did you configure any shares? [22:22] lindows: need to change workgroup name to the same as windows [22:22] oraqol: is chromium already installed? [22:22] i did that [22:22] lindows: did what? [22:22] nano /etc/samba/smb.conf [22:22] i did permisions right for the folder that i want to be shared [22:22] oh ok [22:23] <_Shade_> thanks a lot vu1kan :) [22:23] still cant see samba server on network [22:23] lindows: you need to use nautilus to configure shares [22:23] how to do that? [22:23] ActionParsnip: it was installed, then when i tried to update via synaptic got error, completely removed it, now i cant reinstall [22:23] i made this sudo mkdir -p /srv/samba/share [22:23] sudo chown nobody.nogroup /srv/samba/share/ [22:23] either via synaptic, apt-get, ppa or deb [22:23] _Shade_: np, that's the greatest part of 'nix...regular folks can actually help each other out [22:23] lindows: this is WHY you can't see the folders. You haven't shared any, Do you expect the OS to just guess what you want sharing?? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [22:24] p3nsi0n3r: the best i could find was this, perhaps you can use some of the information here, http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/Realtek_RTL8168 [22:24] sudo mkdir -p /srv/samba/share [22:24] sudo chown nobody.nogroup /srv/samba/share/ [22:24] i made dir for share [22:24] i did this [22:24] lindows: add workgroup to smb.conf, then right click folder, sharing options, and im sure you can figuer out from there [22:24] lindows: open nautilus and right click a folder to share, its clear from there [22:24] lindows: you've not shared it with samba [22:24] !samba | lindows [22:24] lindows: 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. [22:24] lindows: check out that URL [22:24] and now time to figure out what besides the gui that 10.10 broke [22:24] tell me the command to open nautilius [22:24] p3nsi0n3r: and the driver site they link to on this page is this link, http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3#2 [22:24] <_Shade_> vu1kan, you're right. I recently switched back to ubuntu from arch, and starting to like gnome desktop :) [22:25] X-Sleepy-X thanks mate, ill have a look [22:25] lindows: nautilus [22:25] k [22:25] oraqol: if you dont have chromium installed then run: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser and it will install :) [22:25] p3nsi0n3r: you would probably want the driver for "LINUX driver for kernel 2.6.x and 2.4.x (Support x86 and x64)" [22:25] lindows: are you using the desktop ubuntu install ? [22:25] p3nsi0n3r: not sure if you'll get anything going with this though... [22:26] does anybody know where gnome stores the keyboard shortcuts? my multimedia keys keep getting 'forgotten' [22:26] vu1kan: gconf [22:26] lindows: simply "nautilus" or "gksu nautilus" (for root privileges) [22:26] nah, i tried that, but i just tried it agian to make sure [22:26] <_Shade_> vu1kan, or maybe xbind will do the job for you? [22:26] I want to get rid of all console messages on startup/shutdown in ubuntu 10.04. I thought plymouth/usplash should be covering them up, but apparently not. Why? How can I get rid of them entirely (without disabling anything)? [22:26] i get this [22:27] X-Sleepy-X - looks alittle above my head tbh mate, i would say im still a novice user myself, im trying to get this working for my friend, everything is good so far, on ubuntu 9.10 everything worked perfectly. [22:27] @vu1kan you may also be able to just reset them via the admin drop down [22:27] dpkg-deb (subprocess): failed to read on buffer copy for failed to write to pipe in copy: Input/output error [22:27] xz: (stdin): Unexpected end of input [22:27] gdeb kicks back broken deps [22:27] so does synaptic [22:27] Hi Guys, I am having an issue with Gwibber in Ubuntu 10.10, I am getting http://pastebin.ca/1968419 when I am starting Gwibber in the console, and am unable to send tweets via Gwibber. I was googling yesterday and came across https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gwibber/+question/117199 which says to run "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" now this worked yesterday, I was able to twee [22:27] t from Gwibber, but every time I have tried to use Gwibber to tweet today has failed, googling some more this evening has turned up nothing else, apart from what I came across yesterday. Is there something I am doing wrong or is this a known bug with Gwibber? [22:27] p3nsi0n3r: i'm also novice... ;) [22:27] i HATE firefox :'[ [22:28] oraqol: i ATE firefox ;) [22:28] oraqol, try Minefield [22:28] kk [22:28] haha [22:28] but still, id like to fix chromium at some point? [22:28] Its the FF 4 beta, all the speed of chrome, but the addons of firefox [22:28] jrib: looked through gconf for like two hours and didn't find all of them...i may have overlooked a key or two tho... _Shade_, i'll man that up [22:28] Dephenom: gwibber can be buggy [22:29] wait a minute, minefield is mozilla :P [22:29] Upgraded from 10.04, which prevented mpd from playing (would immed. return to stop state). Changed mpd config per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mpd/+bug/364475/comments/5 ... now plays, but nothing on audio outputs. Hints, anyone? [22:29] oraqol: that's why i laughed [22:29] X-Sleepy-X thanks for your help mate [22:29] HI. WHAT might be the terminal command to install a live boot cd to the hard drive? i have the live boot of 10.10 up, but the icon to install to hard drive just wont respond. ? [22:29] AndrewMC, I guessed that, but is the bug I have explained a known bug, if it is are there plans on fixing it? if it is not a bug, how can I fix it? [22:30] so other than update repos no suggestions for fixing chromium? [22:30] p3nsi0n3r: i hope you'll find a way to get it working [22:30] anyone willing to test file manager am working on? [22:30] bryhoyt: They are not very beautiful, but may come very handy in case system hangs on boot/shutdown. [22:30] X-Sleepy-X - me too ;P [22:30] Dephenom: the devopers im sure are working to fix all issues [22:30] MeanEYE: sure, i <3 viruses, jk [22:31] hahah oraqol, :D not really a virus and it's open source :D (written in python) so you can dig around the code :D [22:31] Galvatron_2: yeah, I know. I keep them running on my own machine. But this is work for a client-facing product, has to look 100% professional [22:31] AndrewMC, so your saying I have to live with it? [22:32] * keep them running -> leave the console message functionality as-is [22:32] Dephenom: unfortunately yes [22:32] MeanEYE: what's the name for the file manager? [22:32] oraqol, http://code.google.com/p/sunflower-fm [22:33] X-Sleepy-X, Sunflower, you can find latest pre-alpha here: http://code.google.com/p/sunflower-fm [22:33] hi [22:33] Seriously, what is the point of adding something to a default install if it is buggy? [22:33] brbryhoyt: For boot phase: add "quiet splash" tp kernel boot line" and make sure xplash is installed and running [22:33] MeanEYE: i'll try to find time to test it this weeked.. [22:33] *xsplash [22:33] Why isn't pidgin the default IM in ubuntu anymore? [22:34] X-Sleepy-X, thank... I appriciate it [22:34] One of those is also responsibple for shutdown splash [22:34] That should be all [22:34] Dephenom: it's not the apps fault, twitter has made some controversial changes and it's breaking a lot of apps [22:35] Galvatron_2: thanks, very helpful. That brings up my next question: Why does 10.04 have init scripts for both usplash and plymouth (don't they do the same thing?)? And why do you suggest xsplash, not plymouth/usplash? [22:35] Ah, sorry === subay^^02 is now known as subay^^ [22:36] I just switched from Karmic === Ryukoji is now known as MattLinux [22:36] ilovefairuz, you mean by requiring you to use OAuth? How does that impact a client from sending tweets? I can receive them, just not send via Gwibber [22:36] sup guys [22:36] Of course i mean usplash/plymouth [22:36] Galvatron_2: ah, cool. Will the same kernel boot line still work? [22:36] anyone here? [22:36] recently i asked here for cd layouts for printing, no one knew and one smartass pointed me on google, that doesnt have 10.10 cd layouts. but after probably more then hour combined searching i have found it and they are, officially on: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DIYMarketing/#CD%20Distribution%20Materials and i took the freedom to convert the cd layout to jpg: http://i53.tinypic.com/j10olu.jpg [22:37] i have ubuntu 9.10. how can get it to update to 10.04 before the 10.10?

I thought they both did the same thing? [22:40] too many issues [22:40] MattLinux: meh its pretty acceptable foe linux distros though, it just can't compete with proprietry compatibility [22:40] i did not make shell script yet, and i am reading ubuntu doc, but not so clear, somebody to help me ?

[22:41] yes [22:41] the problem isnt* [22:41] bryhoyt: sound issues, pulseaudio, chromium dependency issues, weird suspend issues [22:41] yoritomo, /join #bash [22:41] MattLinux: sure it's a bug and not a rodent that's causing the problems? ;P [22:41] ok thanks [22:41] yoritomo: have you tried #bash - they can help and guide you links to guides [22:41] To operate on a AES 256 encrypted file, is ccrypt the correct tool ?

[22:45] MattLinux: what bugs are making it "too buggy" [22:45] Dephenom: because it interacts with remote API on twitters servers that may change and break clients [22:45] Squarism: try another IM like pidgin, emesene; there is also msn-pecan an alternative msn plugin for pidgin and empathy [22:45] ikonia: if ati isn't working on Ubuntu, that's a bug that has something to do with Ubuntu [22:45] monstersteve84 you can change about anything you want.. but "graphical shiny".. look into things like the Faenza icon set or the ambiance theme etc. [22:46] could anyone help me with this problem: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=106955 [22:46] bryhoyt: could be PEBKAC [22:46] its only buggy when i had a animal living in my tower now its fine =) [22:46] mark7845: is this an ubuntu question?

So I can say 'Yes' to 10.04 but don't know about 10.10 [22:54] hi, common aptitude question i guess: im trying to install something and aptitude tells me it would remove pacakges of which i think i need them, dbconfig-common is one of them php5-mcrypt and php5-gd another. I THINK the former admin installed them with apt-get, could that cause the removal? [22:54] Tetsuo55: try pidgin, emesene, amsn, etc... there is also msn-pecan : an alternative msn plugin for pidgin and empathy [22:54] yeah i know, sorry guys, didnt realize the input was going to go over the char limit [22:54] injection33, it is too on 10.10 [22:54] I want to set up a cron job to take hourly backups of a folder. How do I do this? [22:54] apt-get tells me those are automatically installed and are no longer needed [22:54] yeah, pidgin rocks [22:54] nikola, tommo, thanks!

[22:54] !cron > ssssssssssBOOM [22:54] ssssssssssBOOM, please see my private message [22:54] i got google voice, gtalk and fb chat piping through it [22:54] oraqol try sudo aptitude install finch if you like pidgin [22:54] Jyggaa: try before the aptitude install, it will remove any un-needed packages [22:54] ssssssssssBOOM: I recommend rsnapshot by the way! [22:54] (but won't remove needed ones) [22:54] xangua: ok [22:55] MattLinux: no idea, how do i check that? [22:55] ilovefairuz, oh, your so witty, do not give up the day job for one as a comedian [22:55] vu1kan well i think i need them ^^ [22:55] i fear that it will break stuff actually [22:55] can I ask here question about Ubuntu and LIRC? [22:55] !ask [22:55] 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. :-) [22:55] and its only logical that php5-gd is not required by any other pacakge [22:55] ssssssssssBOOM, for incremental backups you can use rdiff [22:55] oraqol if you go to terminal and type sudo aptitude install finch then once its installed type finch to run it in terminal its pidgin in the terminal instead of gui [22:55] galvatron the only way ive seen to update my os is with the alt f2 method. and it did go to 10.10 from 9.10. im laggy so i could respond quicker but thats the only option i seen [22:55] http://www.unixgeeks.org/security/newbie/unix/cron-1.html ssssssssssBOOM [22:56] i just made music-applet after configuring it, and i can't find it anywhere. on "add to panel", it doesn't appear either. i'm using maverick meerkat. what should i do?

It's in Maverick's repos, but a quite large number of its depends are virtual packages only. packages.enlightenment.org doesn't have a Maverick section (they appear to have stopped at Lucid). Any suggestions? === Rav3nSword is now known as RavensWord [22:57] is it feasible to have an HP printer set up on an ubuntu live cd? [22:57] is it that every remote, even TV one should work with IR port? [22:57] ok guys, giving up, gonna wipe 10.10, may downgrade to 10.04 [22:57] I can confirm that quakelive is working fine and nice on ubuntu 10.10 :) [22:57] thanx for trying, ill hit you up later [22:58] peace [22:58] pedro3005: Depends on the printer, but there's no real reason why not. You will, of course, have to do whatever configuration you have to do for it every time you boot the CD (unless you respin it...), but yeah, it should work. [22:59] i just made music-applet after configuring it, and i can't find it anywhere. on "add to panel", it doesn't appear either. i'm using 10.10. what should i do? === RavensWord is now known as Rav3nSw0rd [22:59] furi: should locate it for you [22:59] (or [23:00] oraqol: why [23:00] can you copy (backup) any DVD with a Live CD distro? [23:00] vu1kan: i don't understand [23:00] i seem to be having a problem adding a custom startup script, i can call the script just fine with /etc/init.d/tcal start [23:00] but i can not get it to run on startup [23:00] d1g1ta1: As long as you have a second drive to do it with. [23:00] im trying to install bunch of stuffs but i keep getting errors [23:00] is there some base default packages i need to install before? [23:00] furi: from a terminal, type "which music-applet"(without the quotes), that should output it's location [23:00] kinda like Development Tools package for redhats [23:00] d1g1ta1: You may have to install packages in the live environment to do it, but that's not a problem. [23:01] Is there any way run photoshop smoother than in wine? [23:01] slashxr: sudo apt-get install build-essential [23:01] vu1kan: it does nothing [23:01] sweet [23:01] thanks!

[23:02] would "sudo update-rc.d tcal defaults 98 02" not work for ubuntu 10.04? [23:02] good night [23:02] furi: that means the file is probably named something other than 'music-applet' [23:02] I kinda hate using virtual machines, but maybe it is the best opinion then... [23:02] vu1kan: great [23:03] Exitus: Most versions of Photoshop seem to be well-supported by Wine according to the appdb... [23:03] furi: you made it, i'd hope you'd know what it named it [23:03] vu1kan: it gives out some warnings when configuring it [23:04] Exitus: My apologies, misread your initial question. [23:04] LIRC in Ubuntu looks pretty straight forward, correct module loaded( lirc_serial), /etc/lirc/lircd.conf with buttons setting, /var/log/messages reported device /dev/lirc0, but irw doesn't show up any buttons [23:04] Darael: Yeah they run smoothly, but the graphics bug a lot, and sometimes it just freezes.

I like brasero [23:07] Reverend_Ruff: not really. [23:07] does anyone know whether Tracker supports ID3-Tag search [23:07] furi, you do not know the name of the output from the compiler? [23:07] Reverend_Ruff: i don't really know much about ubuntu; i don't think i've even used it for a week [23:07] Kurdistan: Ubuntu doesn't use the init system any more that CONCURRENCY=shell is an option for. [23:07] rww, noatime on fstab then? does it make difference in boot time? [23:08] rww, ubuntu use upstart now? [23:08] Kurdistan: in my testing, noatime doesn't noticibly improve over relatime, and relatime is the default these days [23:08] Kurdistan: correct [23:08] Kurdistan: the people who code Ubuntu's bootup are somewhat obsessed with decreasing boot time. I doubt you'd find anything they haven't. [23:08] rww, all *nixers are obsessed with boot times. lol [23:09] woot for <1 min boots! [23:09] Reverend_Ruff, it's part of the culture :) [23:09] Kurdistan: (keep it in-channel, please) I don't really have any suggestions; like I said, if people know about them, they tend to already be implemented ;) [23:09] rww, I understand. Ubuntu 10.04 was really faster then Ubuntu 9.10, but Ubuntu 10.10 in boot, is no difference at all. [23:09] I can hit the power button on my arch install and be looking at the desktop in about 14 secs. w00t w00t [23:10] Reverend_Ruff, then arch takes alot of time to build [23:10] it is not user friendly [23:10] I am thinking to play around with module options for lirc_serial, bt don't know how to do that in Ubuntu [23:10] Kurdistan, that is subjective. But let's stay on topic. [23:11] ok i'm back with heavy testing i found that my network is not dropping when connecting to updates etc, the network itself is EXESSIVELY slow and it drops and wont reconnect randomly. the signal strength and the data speed is not the problem its definatly a device issue i have the linksys card that is actually the ralink 2870 can anyone help me massage this lil bugger to work right? [23:11] mulambo, if you don't know how to do something then best to stay away from it until you educate yourself. [23:11] x-sleepy-x [23:11] Any body with handy trick? to speed up the boot. [23:11] Kurdistan, how long does it take to boot? [23:11] becuase boot performance in 10.10 and 10.04 no difference at all. [23:12] Your 10.10 boots in the same time as 10.04? [23:12] what is a good backup program [23:12] ubuntu 10.4 and 10.0 here boots in 2 seconds [23:12] Reverend_Ruff: the trouble is I got it working on Gentoo, but here on this laptop I have ubuntu [23:12] !backup | eightiesk [23:12] eightiesk: There are many ways to back your system up.

Obviously not a .EXE right? [23:12] Reverend_Ruff: okay, wtf, i looked at the "make"'s output stuff, and it says it put some stuff in /usr/local/share, but it didn't. [23:12] what is the name of the DVD copy (Backup) utility in the LiveCD? [23:13] :) if I have the closed nvidia drivers installed it takes from bios to desktop about 25-27 sec (I have tweaked alot, general it is not so fast). [23:13] furi - ls -a /usr/local/share [23:13] jacob_, whatever you name the output [23:13] Reverend_Ruff: i use a usb connector to back other peoples data to my system, i use easeuse in windows, what would you suggest? [23:13] Hey, is there a way to access HDDs that are windows format and they are like combined. Can I access those on lubuntu live cd? [23:13] bonsoir [23:13] Reverend_Ruff, yes no difference in boot-time that is well known among others to. [23:13] quit [23:14] eightiesk, I wouldn't because I do not use backup utils. [23:14] Reverend_Ruff: I need this option for lirc_serial module: options lirc_serial irq=4 io=0x3f8 type=0 sense=1 [23:14] jacob_: not an ELF binary, file extensions don't matter [23:14] Reverend_Ruff: what should i use that for? [23:14] anyone else? [23:14] jacob_: no * [23:14] Reverend_Ruff: the configure? [23:14] Kurdistan, I don't know what more to tell you. [23:14] andrii: ntfstools should be in the liveCD...meaning you should be able to open nautilus and browse the ntfs drives like any other drive in ubuntu [23:14] furi, no, type that in terminal and pastebin the output [23:14] ilovefairuz: ooohhhh okay then. [23:15] mulambo, direct your replies to the room so someone who knows the answer can get to you. I am unsure. [23:15] Reverend_Ruff: it says no command -ls found [23:15] ilovefairuz: so used to M$ Visual and XNA studios. nice to have some freedom [23:15] I am bit disapointed with the boot time with 10.10. Ubuntu is stil not on there way to make there goal boot-time. But it is stil faster then fedora. :P [23:15] Hello i have an easy question...if i want to install blender 2.5, should i uninstall 2.49, or can I overwrite it? [23:15] mulambo, add that line to /etc/modprobe.d/lirc.conf and reload the lirc module [23:15] furi, no, like this "ls -a " [23:15] Ubuntu 9.10 -> I need this option for lirc_serial module: options lirc_serial irq=4 io=0x3f8 type=0 sense=1 [23:15] Hi people.

[23:26] Rav3nSw0rd LinuxVirgin control+alt+T ; better, faster, easier [23:26] Anyone? Anyone? Netbook issues? [23:26] Why doesn't gparted wipe my disk completely? [23:26] Who can help me about basic understanding of networking [23:26] LinuxVirgin, then type "sudo lshw", and look through the list for the device(s) in question [23:26] ilovefairuz, I owe you an apology, I have just checked the twitter config in Gwibber and the "Send Messages" check box was not ticked [23:26] I keep on seeing "ubuntu rtkit-daemon[xyz]: Demoted 3 threads." [23:26] oh, thanks xangua, that's nice to know, lol [23:26] i delete all partitions but can't install windows xp on it.. [23:26] Anyways, Thank you to nikola for replying at least.. :) I'm out. [23:27] Thylith try to change the disk type [23:27] vinagre seems to scramble my clipboard from server to client but is fine the other way. any ideas? [23:27] its probably hardware problem, check how you connected your dvd and disk [23:27] or it's gone.. [23:27] Ok [23:27] El-Dorado, you mean format? [23:27] Now what [23:27] I've tried to format it to NTFS/FAT32 [23:27] still not working.. :P [23:28] search on the web for partition types [23:28] tjizz: idk the cli, but if you can open the system monitor, it's on the 'system' tab [23:28] well yeah i know enough about that so.. :P [23:28] i just can't figure out why i can't clear the whole disk [23:28] can anyone tell me what a good file sharing service is to put on a LAMP server? [23:29] always some trace of ubuntu left.. which i don't want.. i want a clean xp install to be able to install ubuntu afterwards as dualboot [23:29] *-network DISABLED [23:29] description: Wireless interface [23:29] product: PRO/Wireless 5300 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection [23:29] vendor: Intel Corporation [23:29] physical id: 0 [23:29] bus info: pci@0000:04:00.0 [23:29] logical name: wlan0 [23:29] version: 00 [23:29] serial: 00:21:6a:55:5f:52 [23:29] width: 64 bits [23:29] clock: 33MHz [23:29] WHere's the floodbot to kick LinuxVirgin now?

[23:29] LinuxVirgin: please use pastebin.com for blocks of text like that. [23:29] Kyle__, Just show to get help. Sorry [23:30] hi, how to unlock my "Hard blocked" wifi device? [23:30] nikola, well, when i boot, i get stuck at "SYSLINUX 3.86..." so, I think there is a problem with the Linux part.. [23:30] Thylith: Boot off of a linux cd, open up a term and dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda (or whatever your Hd is). That will erase every trace of linux. Then boot into your windows cd, and enjoy pollution your system. [23:30] Thylith, try just to delete partition with gparted, dont forget to set boot partition, and you can use unused space to install windoze [23:30] Dephenom: thank you [23:30] I am here [23:30] your hdds need to have boot flag [23:31] Rav3nSw0rd, Have got that up in terminal. Now what [23:31] LinuxVirgin, usually a search on google for the product will do, but I'll try looking it up for you [23:31] LinuxVirgin: middle-click pasting is a fair enough accident, but the flood-bot is supposed to kick you for it, so you stop flooding. THen you come back in and apologize, and we tease you for it. [23:31] LinuxVirgin: :) Its just the way it works. [23:31] vinagre seems to scramble my clipboard from server to client but is fine the other way. any ideas? [23:31] LinuxVirgin: use pastebin or some such if you need us to read several lines like that. [23:32] jrib: Thanks for the tip about rsnapshot! [23:32] I'm going to replace my Pentium 4 with either a dual core or a quad core, both 64bit. On the Ubuntu web site, the ISO file is *amd64.iso. Would that also work on an Intel processor? [23:32] sburwood yeah [23:32] sburwood, it works great on my Intel. I think amd64 is just the general name of the instruction set. [23:33] sburwood: It's called amd64 because AMD came out with it firs,t and Intel copied/liscenced it. [23:33] sburwood: It will work just fine with an intel x86_64. [23:33] Just like x86 runs even on chips that aren't really Intel x86 chips. [23:33] but it is just as good with Intel as with AMD, that's what you are saying [23:34] sburwood: Yes. [23:34] thanks. As you may notice, I'm a n00b at so many things that I ask ignorant questions [23:34] bye [23:34] sburwood: Don't sweat it. [23:35] * nikola slaps Thylith - reply if you fix it [23:35] to everyone i might have rubbed the wrong way, i assumed that my os was 9.10 and my computer was updated to 10.04 without my knowledge. so my oops. i was unaware and apologize for being difficult [23:35] Kyle, no problem, I just realize that I'm not the kind who can answer many questions - but I can sure ask questions ;) [23:35] hooray for the persistenly stubborn rc.d problems [23:36] Does anyone here know of a package that switches all window controls and keyboard shortcuts to Mac-style? All I can find is themes, but I'm not really looking to change the appearance. [23:37] im trying to figure out how to get "xinput set-int-prop "Fujitsu Component USB Touch Panel" "Evdev Axis Calibration" 32 1055 15711 1102 15750" to run on startup [23:37] chzkeeper, buy Mac?

[23:38] xangua I don't have key combination...is that an add-on package? [23:38] chzkeeper: no idea how is called the menu in english [23:38] i have connected a wireleses card but not in usb how can i check is avaiable or not [23:38] thomas_, i had something similar to that, http://patrickmylund.com/blog/lowering-gaming-mouse-sensitivity-in-ubuntu-9-10/ here is partially solution, also how to make script, [23:38] I'll have a look Rav3nSw0rd [23:39] that will work in startup, and also involves xinput [23:39] Thx. brb [23:39] oh. Yes, I can change all of the shortcuts one-by-one, but I thought it would be easier if there was a profile / script / package that made it all happen automatically. [23:39] Hi! I'm having a spot of trouble with my laptop. It has two gpus, one which is a bit power-hungry, my question is: How do I disable/power off one of them? [23:39] hey guys im back [23:40] LinuxVirgin, I can try helping you with your sound problem too later, but wifi seems like a more pressing issue atm (having wifi would make fixing sound less of a hassle, not true other way around) [23:40] chzkeeper: maybe this could help: http://www.howtoforge.com/mac4lin_make_linux_look_like_a_mac [23:40] nikola: ok ill give that a try, back in 5 mins [23:41] i have connected a wireleses card but not in usb how can i check is avaiable or not [23:41] I'll try it out, fat_rat.

Unfortunatly I have no real clue when it come to Linux and the Terminal [23:47] hello spablwm [23:48] Can I upgrade using a 10.10 install cd? [23:48] I'm having issues with my computer freezing when trying to compile Android... [23:48] upgrade from 10.04* === fernando is now known as Guest96044 [23:49] adamx_: sure...boot your lucid install, and add the mav cd as a software source [23:49] Anyone having problems with sound in OpenOffice.org Impress? [23:49] vinagre seems to scramble my clipboard from server to client but is fine the other way. any ideas? [23:50] vu1kan, I already added the cd as a source in synaptic, and choosing "mark all upgrades" does select anything [23:50] hi [23:50] Can I use xrandr too power off one of my gpus? [23:51] adamx_: you first have to install all available updates, then the update manager will let you upgrade distros(idk for sure if synaptic will or not, but i'd think it would) [23:51] is there an easy way to renice a process which has spawned a host of processes? [23:51] it seems to keep spawning more, it's like a hydra [23:52] kill it! with fire! [23:52] lol [23:52] vu1kan, I already did install all updates :/ [23:52] yes kill it with fire [23:52] i don't want to kill the process [23:52] When ubuntu gets packages via apt-get, are they grabbed over secure or insecure protocols? [23:52] how would I diagnose a system freeze? [23:52] doing that will likely end up with corruption [23:52] (sorry, was a bad joke) [23:52] ...

[23:54] deadroot: Are you on maverick or lucid? [23:54] jaunty [23:54] deadroot: Eeep! [23:54] jaunty is old enough to not be supported anymore [23:54] though i don't recall maverick having changed any when i was testing it [23:55] deadroot: So you're into historical reenactments then? [23:55] !jaunty [23:55] it's not that old :p [23:55] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904 [23:55] I have a dual monitor setup with an ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT. If I enable either the open or closed source drivers, the second monitor does not display correctly on boot and I have to fiddle with the Monitor panel (i.e. set to mirror, then unset) for it to work correctly. Any ideas? [23:55] deadroot: Wasn't that kernel 2.1? [23:55] ;) [23:55] in theory, dapper drake is still supported on servers [23:55] deadroot: Anyway teasing aside, I'm having the strangest issue. [23:55] running 10.10, but did this with 10.04 also [23:55] First this system would hang durring the install unless I jiggled the mouse... [23:56] Now, on apt-get, the download's hang unless I jiggle the mouse [23:56] any one could tell me how to reinstall the wireless_ [23:56] ? [23:56] I'm wondering if it's trying secure mechenisms, but in'st getting enough entropy or something.

[23:57] Can someone give me some hints : I have 2 soundcards, 1 onboard 2pci. At first i had only onboard and worked fine. than i plugged the pci one in and since than the onboard no longer shows up in the soundmanager, also not in alsa-base.conf (ubuntu 10.04 ) [23:58] Is there a channel for people who dig in the guts of 'buntu? [23:58] i think every program i've seen recently either crashed or thrashed my disk to hell then crashed was written in python [23:58] Kyle__: Possible DNS issue? [23:58] hi - how can I load a script at startup? thanks! [23:58] proxx: my understanding is that if you have a pci soundcard, generally the bios will disable an onboard one...or, at least i was hitting that issue with video cards [23:59] funny coz they should work along sides [23:59] jpds: intenral DNS, and its' behaving fine. if I update another box there are no issues. === Vialas|away is now known as Vialas [23:59] its not diabled in bios as far as i can see [23:59] luca__: system>prefs>startup applications === ninjamasks_ is now known as ninjamasks [23:59] anyone know where i can get an install for the Lattice screen saver?
