[01:42] sandyd, oh great [01:42] I am converting my entire music library to OGG since I read somewhere that it would make the switch easier because MP3 codecs aren't well supported, there is a lot to do before I format to Ubuntu lol [01:43] what's the point in pastebinning if you post it here using !pastebin anyway [01:43] !pastebinit rather [01:44] Jack-is, because the link to pastebin is only one line [01:44] i cant understand i can mount the partition but the installer see all hard drive * [01:44] psusi, i cant understand i can mount the partition but the installer see all hard drive(no partitions) [01:44] hi all. I have a compaq presario laptop. Everything looks excellent with Ubuntu on it except sound :-( I installed the current ALSA driver but didn't solve it. I would appreciate any help good folks [01:44] !help pastebinit [01:44] sandyd, http://paste.ubuntu.com/517779/ [01:44] psusi, with fdisk [01:44] !info pastebin | Jack-is [01:44] ugh. can't figure it out.

[01:45] ezy: supid question, but did you check that it's not on mute? [01:45] ezy, what version of Ubuntu are you running? [01:45] Oh, thanks. thought was ircbot command [01:45] Jack-is: no, it's a package :) [01:45] :) [01:45] zacstone: there should be a nvidia xconfig program in your menus [01:45] psusi, i dont unders [01:46] zacstone: have you tried that one (for future refrence, your using the propriety drivers) [01:46] grub-rescue, in a terminal, run sudo parted print /dev/sda [01:46] i don't have privileges to extract in usr/share/themes [01:46] ezy, which version of ubuntu [01:46] sandyd, what do you mean for propriety drivers? [01:46] is the filesystem like OSX? [01:46] zacstone: you enabled the drivers through System -> Administration -> hardware drivers right? [01:46] hie...i really have a serious problem...i installed storage device manager but from then i cannot create folders or edit any stuff...how can i get rid of it...anyone please HELP!!!!!!!! [01:47] sandyd, yes [01:47] zacstone: those are the ones provided by nvidia, their not open source [01:47] rohn, rambo2_981 im using ubuntu 10.04 [01:47] ezy, ok thanks [01:47] sandyd, i've tried other older version, still no good [01:47] dufflebunk, ruled that out [01:47] zacstone: you will have to change the settings for the monitor through the Nvidia X configuration tool [01:47] dufflebunk, :-) [01:48] zacstone: it should have been installed with the driver [01:48] psusi, i have this http://pastebin.com/6WDwMEn7 [01:48] ezy, ok, it's not on mute. good [01:48] ezy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1532127 [01:48] sandyd, look it said its in 120hz but the monitor said it still only get 60hz [01:48] me too [01:48] does anyone know an easy method to extend your desktop beyond it's set resolution [01:48] ezy, are you just know installing ubuntu, or is this an ongoing problem? [01:48] psusi, the same only with /dev/sda [01:48] sandyd, and i know what different feeling between 120hz and 60hz [01:49] rohn, i have ubuntu on other laptops running fine...this is a new laptop and first time encountering this kind of sound problem [01:49] one question, when i open a new window in any program i gets maximized as standard, how do i change that? using 10.4 laptop version [01:49] rambo2_981, thanks, going through that thread [01:49] ezy, what soundcard? [01:50] zacstone: then that, not many people can help with, because the drivers are made by nvidia themselves, not us [01:50] rohn, you mean the name and model of soundcard ? [01:50] zacstone: you might want to file a bug report against nvidia with the resolution problem [01:50] ezy, yeah, I'm just thinking that googling that might help [01:51] zacstone, nvidia is pretty good at keeping their linux drivers up to date they just won't release source [01:51] ezy, to find out if tyour problem is specific to a specific sound card, or to your laptop model [01:51] I need to change something in gdm.conf, but where I can find it? [01:51] rambo2_981: which is a problem, because every issue we find, it takes time for us to send it there, and time for them to fix it [01:51] sandyd: I like the look of gnome from that image you posted of the VLC preferences page. How can I replicate it here? What theme you using? [01:52] hi guys .. how do I use irssi if i am behind a http proxy in my office [01:52] shrug at least they respond [01:52] vindice: thats not gnome, its kde [01:52] rohn, googled it and saw that similar compaq laptops have sound issues. some of them say they have resolved it but they are not very clear in what they did to resolve it [01:52] ezy, ok, good to know [01:52] ezy, how's it coming looking through that forum thread? [01:52] sandyd: ha! ahhh, sorry [01:52] sandyd, okay for now i just want to fix the tearing for vlc player [01:52] THE GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA WANTS YOU TO KNOW WHEN YOU COMMENT ON SPAM, THE GAY NIGGERS WIN.

[01:54] using ssl/ssh vnc viewer and vino i guess on another machine, the problem is that the cursor is just a dot [01:54] rohn, a bit similar to the other threads I came across while searching...no clear cut solution :-( [01:54] rizkhan: i would ideally run it elsewhere, and ssh to that machine [01:54] zacstone: did you sync to vblank by any chance? if you havent, give it a try [01:54] ezy, did you try installing the lucid backports? [01:54] rizkhan: that's usually the preferred way of using irssi. run it in screen on a remote machine. preferably a server somewhere, with good uptime [01:54] sandyd, okay i'm trying this now [01:54] rohn, sound through headphone works though...which is a good news atleast :-) [01:55] yeah, but i dont have any other machine .. all i have is the office laptop [01:55] my desktop has been dead for ages [01:55] If it's linux at home, you could always running at home and ssh home? [01:55] ezy, ok, good to know. that's odd though, that it would work for headphones, but not for speakers [01:55] sandyd, in nvidia setting or vlc player settting? [01:55] Err.. [01:55] zacstone: I'm not sure if this will help at all as I am reading your conversation out of context, but what i had to do to fix the tearing in VLC was to set the refresh rage of compiz to 60hz (monitor refresh rate) [01:55] rizkhan: you don't have shell access to any servers, anywhere? [01:55] How does your office proxy work? [01:55] zacstone: in the nvidia settings [01:55] Is this the correct way to setup two static IPs using two NICs? http://gist.github.com/639711 [01:56] Does it block all non-http trafic on port 80? [01:56] <|ns|nR8> any easy way to change grub boot order ? [01:56] i have access to servers in my office .. but again they are behind the proxy [01:56] rizkhan: try this list http://shells.red-pill.eu/ [01:56] For some reason, it seems only the second one is activated (ie. all services move to the second nic instead of both). I can verify via netstat that apache is correctly listening to both IPs [01:56] grub-rescue, sorry, I got the parameters backwards... try sudo parted /dev/sda print [01:57] Is there a way we can block text? [01:57] rizkhan: What does this proxy do? What does it block/allow? [01:57] ezy, that forum thread (like you said) didn't really seem conclusive, and it's old, from July 2010 [01:57] it only allows http at 8080 [01:57] hi all [01:57] And without that proxy you are stuck inside? Sealed network? [01:57] rohn, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7717667&highlight=compaq+cq61#post7717667 ... Im going to try this one [01:57] Diamondcite: yes [01:58] ...and hi all, too, again ;) [01:58] rohn, hopefully, that works for my model too [01:58] That seems more like one heck of a coroprate security system >.> [01:58] Diamondcite: it iz :( [01:58] grub-rescue, actually I already see what's wrong from fdisk... your partition table is fubar... you have an ntfs partition that overlaps the extended partition [01:58] Because that could help with the troll and inappropriate comments. All chatting gets appended with a /msg command to send the text to a bot that would scan it and filter posts out with inappropriate phrases. [01:58] Side Note: When I spoke I got an automated PM from JohnDoe_ [01:59] psusi, what kind of information do u need [01:59] Whatever goes through gets posted by the bot, with bot@username [01:59] rizkhan: Do you know of any non-proxy ports that open to the web? [01:59] Hi, i'm trying to install Ubuntu server 10.10 from a usb stick, and it refuses to load installer components from cd (since there is no cd in the drive). what am i doing wrong? (checked md5 checksums) [01:59] Is what I am saying remotely fesible? [01:59] psusi, then what can i do_ [01:59] Diamondcite: nopes [01:59] Any estime on when LDAP will be repaired in 10.04 ?? It's a major failure at this point... [01:59] Though there is a higher chance that the only machine in the whole company with any net access is that proxy server. [01:59] ezy, did you catch that part about the typo in the directions? [02:00] Niaobu: how did you create the usb stick? [02:00] how to i get the privilege to extract files wherever i please? [02:00] pylix_: use sudo [02:00] !sudo | pylix_ [02:00] pylix_: 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 [02:00] In which case I don't think you'll be able to communicate with irssi properly while inside.

[02:01] Still stuck with an issue. How do I go about getting a mount point to show up on the Places menu? Please? [02:01] histo: followed the description on the ubuntu website [02:01] grub-rescue, hope you have a recent backup... or get off whatever you can now... then you might see if testdisk can repair it... can you mount any of those partitions? [02:02] rizkhan: I mean that if you MUST use that specific proxy to get to the internet, then there is a chance that the server is the only box in the whole company with internet access and everyone else is behind a mass firewall. [02:02] yes [02:02] ezy, ok, sounds like a definite option. you going to give it a try? [02:02] psusi, yes i can [02:02] rohn, yea...fingers crossed :-) [02:02] Niaobu: That's odd you should not need a cd at all. [02:02] psusi, what happened [02:02] Diamondcite: that is the case [02:02] Diamondcite: he could make an ssh tunnel over port 443 which will be unblocked [02:02] ezy, ok, sounds good [02:02] ezy, you on that machine now, or is it another machine? [02:03] Oh right. [02:03] rizkhan: Can you access https://www.google.com ? [02:03] Or does https fail? [02:03] grub-rescue: try using testdisk to repair the paritions [02:03] Diamondcite: i can, can access ftp as well [02:03] rohn, im on that machine. I have to restart for changes to take effect. brb. [02:03] Nisstyre65: Though I think rizkhan said he/she/it did not have a machine outside to use. [02:04] ezy, best of luck to you [02:04] rizkhan: With or without proxy? [02:04] histo: nor am i using one. the installer refuses to complete though [02:04] grub-rescue, something screwed up your partition table... it looks like the extended partition should contain sda 6 7 and 8, but then there is that little sda5 ntfs partition also shoved in there that seems to have stretched the extended partition to overlap, but not contain, sda 2 [02:04] Diamondcite: with proxy [02:04] Condorito, where'd you put the mount points? dir [02:04] Niaobu: what is the exact error you are getting? [02:05] rizkhan: you can get an irc shell for extremely cheap or free and use it to run irssi with screen [02:05] histo: give me 30 secs [02:05] rambo2_981: in /windows [02:05] and you can access it over port 443 which won't be blocked or anything [02:05] psusi, thanks im going to try it, if i delete windows partition is not a solution ? [02:05] you used the dir /windows for the mount point? what are you mounting? [02:05] actually you might not be able to [02:05] Can anyone recommend a distro that has a working LDAP package? [02:05] Holy hell I just discovered tabs in the Mac terminal. Does Ubuntu do this? [02:05] grub-rescue, well, I suppose, but that seems a bit like killing the patient to cure the disease [02:06] Robbb: yes ctrl+shift + t [02:06] I'm sure there is a shell service that has everything on that port though [02:06] Oh god I love this so much more now [02:06] Robbb: in gnome-terminal will create a new tab [02:06] grub-rescue, why do you have 3 windows partitions anyhow? [02:06] Nisstyre65: thanks [02:06] Yes. [02:06] tried to ./configure and make music applet but it doesn't appear in the add to panel list. using 10.10. [02:06] histo: if I were female I'd have your children. [02:06] psusi: grub is completely worthless with the devolution to grub2... [02:06] Robbb, terminal has always done tabs. [02:06] Nisstyre65: that seems the only option now [02:06] Yeah, but I never knew lol [02:06] Condorito, use /mnt for permanent mounts and /media for removable [02:06] rambo2_981: My windows partition. did mkdir /windows, then edited the fstab accordingly, but lost the partition from the places menu. [02:06] Robbb: you should check out screen with spliting [02:06] histo: Loadd installer components from CD: There was a prmblem reading data from the CD-ROM. Please make sure it is in the drive. If retrying does not work, you should check the integrity of your CD-ROM. [02:07] aegis, you couldn't be more wrong [02:07] Check out what? [02:07] Diamondcite: tx for the help [02:07] would anybody have an idea what pulseaudio uses 35% on desktop and only like 6% on my laptop when playing music [02:07] Niaobu: thats a generic error its not actually trying to read from the cdrom its having issues reading the data on the thumb drive. [02:07] psusi, im asking me the same question XD [02:07] Niaobu: you said you performed a md5sum on the usb drive? [02:07] histo: yes [02:07] rizkhan: sh3lls.net has theirs running on port 443 [02:08] Niaobu: Something is going on I would recreate the stick using unetbootin or usb creator. [02:08] Is alt+PrtSc broken or is it just me? [02:08] (in 10.10) [02:08] histo: well not on the usb drive, but on the .iso i downloaded [02:08] rizkhan, Nisstyre65: Think httptunnel would work? [02:08] Niaobu: oh you need to perform a check on the usb drive in addition to the iso [02:08] Niaobu: let me get you a link [02:09] rizkhan, Nisstyre65: It works with corporate proxies to make an ssh connection [02:09] !md5sum | Niaobu [02:09] Niaobu: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [02:09] rizkhan, Nisstyre65: http://daniel.haxx.se/docs/sshproxy.html -- "Withouth CONNECT" section [02:09] Niaobu: read it carefully you need to specify the size of the iso to the dd comand to get the appropriate amount of data [02:09] Niaobu: i'm assuming you will find a mismatch due to your data errors [02:09] histo: thanks, i'll be back if i cant figure it out :) [02:10] Niaobu: it's pretty straight forward other than they give you a bad example at first and explain why [02:10] <_Sketch_> Hello! I just did an upgrade to 10.10 through the update-manager, and now I don't have any working X/Gnome setup. After the first Ubuntu loading screen, it dumps me back to the terminals, where the startup seems to be hanging after 'Checking battery state'. Anyone else get this? [02:11] _Sketch_, video ... always video ... [02:11] driver [02:11] video driver [02:12] <_Sketch_> Ah. I'll hunt in aptitude for a minute. Maybe I can resolve this myself. :) [02:14] Hmmm... not much joy. The problem seems to be that I am trying to mount a mount point. I only need my mount point to turn up on the places menu, or on the desktop. [02:14] Gotta love Linux -- Always have a backup for support. [02:14] _Sketch_: I would boot to recovery mode and make sure that all packages are installed and configured. [02:15] Condorito: symlink maybe what you are looking for [02:15] Condorito: ln -s TARGET LINK_NAME === Pilif12p_ is now known as Pilif12p [02:16] <_Sketch_> histo: Will try. [02:17] which command is useful for backup programs XD [02:17] grub-rescue, rsync is my favorite backup program [02:17] _Sketch_: yeah make sure ubuntu-desktop is installed and use dpkg to reconfigure everything [02:18] !backup | grub-rescue [02:18] grub-rescue: There are many ways to back your system up.

[02:19] Condorito: or you can just drag an item to the places menu in nautilus [02:20] test34 but i have to go on each folder :s [02:20] PulseAudio is eating up 20-40% of my cpu when listening to music, anyone can help? === go|dfish is now known as GO|DFISH [02:20] <_Sketch_> histo: Appears to be! dpkg didn't do anything. Although booting into recovery mode nets me a higher resolution text display. Heh. lspci says I have an Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller. [02:21] _Sketch_: is ubuntu-desktop installed? [02:21] _Sketch_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [02:21] grub-rescue, add a line to crontab for each folder. it can be recursive, so you could add your home folder and all sub-directories in just one line [02:22] _Sketch_: and sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a [02:22] <_Sketch_> histo: ubuntu-desktop is indeed installed. Running those now. [02:24] <_Sketch_> histo: Nothing happened with the apt-get 0 updates, etc. Running dpkg. [02:24] grub-rescue, for example: rsync -a --delete /home/username /media/backup/ [02:24] Lol. okay, time for a dumb question. How do I launch nautilus? [02:24] test34 :o i like in this way XD [02:24] I don't like the new Ubuntu font, sometime the space character seem too narrow [02:25] Condorito: Alt+f2, type nautilus :) [02:26] nigelb: Thnx. But I just get the file browser :/ [02:26] Condorito: that should be nautilus [02:27] Condorito: click on places > Home to bring up a firle browser window thats nautilus [02:27] Condorito: you can drag items to the left frame and i t will create shortucts [02:27] it refuses to let me move create folders or extract anything to that folder and idk how to use sudo to fix. [02:28] pylix_: sudo gives you root access. What are you trying to do exactly? [02:28] rohn, back. still same problem :-( [02:28] ezy, sorry to hear it [02:28] Oh. Then no, there is no sign of my /windows mount point there... [02:28] ezy, sound still work in headphones? [02:28] nor the partition, as it used to be...

[02:29] hey [02:29] goodnight all [02:30] After a re-boot, of course. [02:30] pylix_: cd /usr/share/themes/ && sudo tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz [02:30] did anyone have an issue with ubuntu 10.10 today [02:30] I did an update yesterday [02:30] pylix_: or extract it whereever and sudo mv foldername /usr/share/themes [02:30] and it wont boot up anymore [02:31] Hi [02:31] Is there any way to force the installer to use a LAN repo in Maverick? [02:32] Any help? [02:32] It keeps on using [country].archive.ubuntu.com [02:32] and it's slower than a fart in a vacuum [02:33] <_Sketch_> histo: After going through reconfiguring console-setup in dpkg-reconfigure -a, I get this: dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: couldn't identify the package [02:33] _Sketch_: which package?

I have checked the bios and my only hard drive is selected as the boot device [03:33] sandyd, turning on snyc works with tearing problem with vlc player [03:34] <_Sketch_> racecar56: Hmm. Is that a net-boot? I was looking for net-install. :/ === PeterD is now known as PeterDarkness [03:34] Hello, I had a major oopsie. I accidentally recurisvely chmod'd / (instead of ./) and now I can't log in to my account. What's worse, the partitions (LUKS) and my home (ecryfs) are encrypted so I'm having difficulty grabbing my files to do a reinstall. I managed to mount my root partition but I can't get home to mount from livecd. [03:34] xmnt_: try going into single user mode and reinstalling grub [03:34] <_Sketch_> racecar56: Or maybe I'm confused. It doesn't seem to be working. [03:35] _Sketch_: what happens? [03:35] Aenigma, you mean from the live cd? [03:35] Can anyone help me troubleshoot a broke LDAP server? [03:35] Aenigma: google dustin kirkland. he wrote the scripts for ecryptfs. you need to get the key from /var [03:36] <_Sketch_> racecar56: It gives me a message about what Linux version it is up at the top of the screen, then does nothing. (sorry, I didn't copy it down exactly...) [03:36] Aenigma: his blog has full instructions on what to do [03:36] _Sketch_: strange, how'd you boot the ISO? [03:36] Does anyone know if it is possible to netboot install 10.10 desktop edition? My CD drive is being a pain... [03:36] xmnt_: well, yeah, if you can't get to ubuntu [03:36] xmnt_, are you running the livecd again? [03:36] fluff-laptop: right, I'll look into it. [03:36] <_Sketch_> racecar56: I used cdw mini.iso, it successfully wrote it, and I booted from the CD. [03:37] _Sketch_: k [03:37] <_Sketch_> racecar56: Should it have worked? I'll try it again if so. [03:37] _Sketch_: yes, i remember using those ISOs and they were fine [03:37] Aenigma, psusi : yes, I've run the install 3 times now trying to get grub installed correctly, but I'm ?'ing whether the grub install is the issue [03:37] <_Sketch_> racecar56: And it's just a small version of Ubuntu that pulls packages from the 'net, right? [03:38] Hi there [03:38] it seems that this machine doesn't see the drive as a bootable device for some reason [03:38] _Sketch_: i think so, i'm going to DL it for myself and run it in qemu [03:38] hi [03:38] xmnt_, download and run this script: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ [03:38] anyone here with a dell mini or a system76? Maverick netbook isn't reporting battery percentage in the panel applet. Byobu reports correctly. [03:39] _Sketch_: my internet is slow, i'm getting there [03:39] _Sketch_: oops i do not have qemu here, i'll install it and then see [03:39] xmnt_: this *is* 10.10 or 10.04, right? Have you ever used any other distro on your machine? [03:40] Aenigma, 10.10 ... yes I had arch up until now, ran w/ no issues [03:40] <_Sketch_> racecar56: No problem. I've got time. [03:40] _Sketch_: okay i will hit "Install" [03:40] _Sketch_: i am done DLing it and stuff [03:40] xmnt_: ever thought about trying to manually set up grub legacy? :P [03:41] _Sketch_: i got a "Choose language" screen, did you get there? [03:41] how would I be able to get the default /etc/apache2/httpd.conf from package [03:41] <_Sketch_> racecar56: I did not. I think my CD drive is on the fritz. Joy. ;) [03:41] _Sketch_: i know how that is, my ISO validated as 02abb1a71bde21a1335e9368dad529ca [03:41] _Sketch_: maybe try cleaning the CD [03:42] does anyone here run xubuntu? [03:42] i really want the whole transparent thing on my desktop [03:42] it's cool [03:42] Can anyone help me troubleshoot a broke LDAP server? [03:43] Is it correct that what a firewall does is to tell what applications can use which ports? [03:43] more importantly thought i haven't got my sound working yet lol [03:43] Gryllida: it blocks ports [03:43] i deleted my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file, can anyone explain how I would get it back? [03:43] Gryllida: it doesn't tell the app what to do though [03:43] racecar56: it blocks all ports except for a certain list, right? [03:43] depends on the firewall [03:44] ctkahler: got a httpd.conf~ file? [03:44] Gryllida: yeah [03:44] Gryllida: sort of [03:44] i just have a blank one i created [03:44] racecar56: with the list being a list of open ports and the applications that can use them, or just the list of open ports? [03:44] mind pastebin or something yours? [03:45] <_Sketch_> racecar56: verfied the md5sum. I'll try cleaning it, running it, and get back to you. [03:45] ctkahler: why not remov ehte balck one and reinstall apache2 [03:45] /etc/apache2/httpd.conf ? I don't have apache installed, try asking at #httpd [03:45] Gryllida: just a list of open ports, if the app cannot access the port it wants to, it simply fails [03:45] _Sketch_: k [03:45] i asked there any someone suggested asking here and getting it from the package [03:45] ctkahler: sorry my server isn't running now, and i don't have apache either [03:45] ctkahler: oh, sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2 [03:46] ctkahler: i do not know the real package name [03:46] so if I have a port open, and a program different from the one I intended tries to use it, what will it result in? [03:46] hello all. can someone please tell me how to restore both ubuntu panels to their defaults? TIA! [03:46] an explosion [03:46] Gryllida: it will succeed [03:46] thanks that looks like it should would [03:46] Gryllida: by default you don't need a firewall in ubuntu, nothing is listening on any ports. If you install SSH or Apache or something, you WANT them to listen on certain ports, so there's no need to configure a firewall because it's all open [03:47] I'm trying to associate the following with a keyboard shortcut: "echo -n hi | xclip -selection p".

[03:50] I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 and the dhclient for wireless stopped working. [03:50] fluff-laptop: well, I am concerned about some malicious activity, so I want to block all ports except for a list. I suppose the list would be like ssh, www, and several more ports, possibly a mail client, etc. what I am unsure about is what an external program would be able to do with port 80, which is the www one, if it's open to any application, so that any data can be transferred; I'm not sure I really understand how it works [03:50] Is there a compiz channel around here? [03:50] the newly released ubuntu kernel broke the highpoint rocketraid 2300 drivers === pylix_ is now known as Pylix [03:50] the official drivers, that is [03:50] xangua, im still not getting the standard panels [03:50] tiox: #compiz [03:50] hi! i'm new to linux, i downloaded ubunto lucid lynx on a hp mini and my wireless doesn't work, it connects but the error message says ip address can't be obtained.

[03:51] !firewall | Gryllida [03:51] Gryllida: 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. [03:51] then installed it [03:51] thanks but not running [03:52] but it didnt overwrite my httpd.conf file [03:53] Gryllida: unfortunately there's no way to block an application (AFAIK) in particular from accessing the network. The Ubuntu FireWall doesn't work like the one in Windows === Commander1024_ is now known as Commander1024 === derre is now known as Emre [03:53] thank ctk [03:54] don't really know it but driver is rt2860, does it help?

[03:57] guys, Im not being able to reset my panels to their default. can someone help me? [03:57] nimbiotics: reformat? [03:58] yewtorials: thanks, run sudo modprobe rt2860 and message says "fatal: module rt2860 not found" [03:58] Gryllida: again, none of the applications are listening for data, so they won't respond to incoming requests. If you need an app to listen for data, then it does it automatically, just configure *which* port to listen, not *if* it should [03:58] other question... best web browser command line?

[04:07] darkelfe: why not try a google or bing search on this subject?

[04:09] what is better ext3 or ext4 filesi [04:09] stefan84: obviously you dont need to boot into a live CD if the partition in question isn't your sytem partition, and you of course need to change /etc/ to the actual location in /media/something/etc/ [04:09] yewtorials, can you explain a little about null thing ?

I've never found a firewall to be useful. Even if you knew exactly which ports to block, you would have to leave 80 and others open for web browsing.

And /dev/sda under ubuntu is /dev/hda under debian. That drive is a 500GB IDE (PATA) drive. The installation drive is a SATA drive. [04:34] Red6247: I doubt that, how are you using Ubuntu?

[04:41] I guess I should add that the network was not available when it was installed. So whatever comes on the CD/DVD image. [04:41] anyone familiar with apparmor? [04:41] !apparmour [04:41] :/ [04:41] bye all [04:42] bye [04:42] too late [04:42] !apparmor [04:42] For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [04:42] any help me?

[04:44] ubuntunoobz: do you have the latest drivers from system > admin > hardware drivers? I don't think you need any with intel, though. They should be built into the kernel, which means you can't really boost performance unless you start recompiling crap [04:44] a package from a different distrobutions's cd? for example, let's say I upgraded to marverick but my video has 0 display. and the log says "/usr/bin/X not found" so what I want to do is reinstall it.

[04:46] i want to play fear on this laptop with wine can u guys help? [04:46] how to I boot into safe mode (without running any init script)? [04:46] thanks msl.

[04:49] The key needs to be in the authorized_keys file and this file needs to have proper permissions. [04:49] The 10.10 LiveCD is showing garbage after the 5 dots boot thing. Is there a way for me to send kernel options before it boots or something? [04:49] fluff-laptop: hmm. i'll rephrase that. do i need any special privileges in order to write new policy rules and enforce them? [04:49] msl, on the remote or local machine?

The public key needs to be in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on any machine you want to log in to (without password). [04:50] inkjetunit: sorry, not really sure on that one. try asking in the forums, or ask again to the whole channel in a bit. [04:50] afallenhope: many thanks. need some way to set it to vga. [04:51] Shadow_7: yeah, I try to find the stuff that is actually of use [04:51] fluff-laptop, i sense a a burnout smell from a monitor, so i guess that is a clear sign [04:51] nikola: hahaha, yeah, she's a goner :( [04:51] but i am alive!

[04:52] msl, both my public and private key pair are in my home dir. the public key was sent to the vps provider who most likely set it up in the authorized_keys dir. [04:52] nikola: burnt computer components reek, and I know that all to well. An electrical engineering major in college [04:53] hello, I have an issue with python in ubuntu 10.10, when I print datetime.today() im getting tomorrows date (22 october) [04:53] Either the didn't put it into the authorized_keys file, they didn't set permissions right, or their /etc/sshd_config has configured to disable key based login. [04:53] luismmontielg: your timezone is probably wrong [04:53] luismmontielg: Timezone [04:53] msl, the keys in my home dir worked fine for a slicehost ssh key, just to be sure I tried copying the key pair over to the .ssh dir on the local machine and added the file authorized_keys with the pub key in it.

[04:53] luismmontielg:go to #python [04:53] How to change Login Screen in Ubuntu [04:53] But strictly thats a #python question [04:53] ok who knows about sudo?? [04:53] and how to use it? [04:53] pksadiq, i get oct 21 [04:53] You can run ssh -vvv to see if it has any clues [04:53] $ sudo command [04:53] !sudo [04:53] 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 [04:54] glitchd: probably like everyone here. whats the prob [04:54] maybe python prints in utc by default [04:54] glitchd: sudo make me a sandwich XD [04:54] sorry, Random832 , i got 21 october [04:54] fluff-laptop, i cant get su to work in ubuntu 10.04 [04:54] does any1 know why all games i install in wine installs fine but when i try to run it it changes screen res and thats it? [04:54] There really isn't anything you can do wrong on the client side. Something is wrong on server side. [04:54] Random832, where do I change timezone? [04:54] fluff-laptop, keeps tellin me its the wrong password [04:54] fluff-laptop, but it works when i jus do the normal sudo [04:54] glitchd "sudo passwd" the "su" [04:54] thenn [04:55] whoa! [04:55] luismmontielg: well if you get the correct date from the shell it's not that - also didn't you set your timezone when you installed? [04:55] ubuntunoobz: BAD! NO! [04:55] oh? [04:55] Random832, yes I set it [04:55] glitchd: dont do that [04:55] thats what i do :p [04:55] i have an ext3 partition that got turned into ext4 by mistake. how can i get my data back? [04:55] msl, thanks for the guidance. I will ask in the vps provider's channel to see if they can sort it on their side. I figured I must have done something wrong. thanks [04:55] ubuntunoobz: you gotta actually tell wine to run the prog [04:55] this is the first time I am running ubuntu since it first came out and wow. It has not changed much. Why don't they update the look of it? [04:55] fluff-laptop, well it didnt work anyways [04:55] rru what u mean? [04:56] fluff-laptop, then what to do about it?

[04:56] glitchd: su is used to take over the root account. you don't need to do that [04:56] fluff whats wrong with that? [04:56] luismmontielg: what timezone are you in anyway? [04:56] fluff-laptop, but continually typing sudo get irritating.. [04:56] lol [04:56] luismmontielg: what does datetime.now() return? [04:56] fluff-laptop, su would jus make to process quicker [04:57] glitchd: if that's the case, you can temporarily access root with sudo su or sudo -i [04:57] <[thor]> glitchd: make an alias for s that points to sudo? [04:57] Random832, datetime.datetime(2010, 10, 22, 3, 57, 3, 237607) [04:57] Please Help! - i have an ext3 partition that got turned into ext4 by mistake. how can i get my data back? [04:57] nikola: if you are smelling burnt electronics, it means that a short or power surge has fried the circuits, it needs to be repaired or replaced [04:57] fluff-laptop, ok, btw what does sudo -i di? [04:57] thank you for your input, RRU_Sciguy , i decided it will be a cat house [04:57] glitchd: it's similar, one uses the local info, one uses roots info [04:57] luismmontielg: that's UTC - are you sure your timezone is set correctly? [04:58] [thor], well any clue on why su doesnt work anymore? [04:58] okay... broadcom4312 wifi just randomly stopped working. any ideas?

[04:58] well, depending on your monitor [04:58] it is a 21" [04:58] <[thor]> glitchd: see fluff's explanation [04:58] fluff-laptop, will sudo su do the same as su used to do? [04:58] rru_sciguy what do u mean? [04:58] Random832, vie oct 22 03:58:33 America 2010 [04:58] ubuntunoobz: you're just not supposed to tell people that. it creates a (possibly weak) password for the user "root". :P [04:58] Hi there! why screen brightness doesn't change?:-? [04:58] stefan84: do you mean it got upgraded, or reformatted [04:59] luismmontielg: your timezone is "America"? [04:59] stefan84, ext[234] filesystems are backwards compatible. You can just mount it as ext3. Or did you reformat it... [04:59] glitchd: yeah pretty much [04:59] ok fluff [04:59] that is, er, not a proper timezone. [04:59] do you have anything setting the "TZ" variable in your bashrc or anything?

[06:10] sporkboy: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa [06:10] glitchd: then idk [06:10] racecar56, it stops the video midway thru [06:10] k [06:10] glitchd, it usually requires that you be logged in to your whatever account with full permissions, but there are drm removers. I did it once with audio, but it only works if you have permissions to play the file.

[06:18] dkopfman: i had the same prob, and my installation took 1 hour [06:18] ali - how did you get it to install at all?

Did you test the CD for defects once first booted to [06:44] thank you [06:44] Just press left on the loading splash. I presume this is before you get to where you can pick to try or install.' [06:44] sporkboy: test the Cd [06:44] sporkboy: or test the usb/sd for consistancy [06:44] ActionParsnip, usb, not cd. and how do I test it? [06:45] electrypnose: remove chap and pap from the authentication mechs and only select the others available. And try again. [06:45] Depending on the settings I select in the install console, it freezes in different places. [06:45] ok [06:45] I tried to check the disk in the console,but that freezes too ;) [06:45] but like I said, it freezes from the USB as well. [06:45] sporkboy: when you see the stickman screen, press space and you'll see the old school menu, run it there. Also test your ram from the same menu [06:45] ActionParsnip, also, it's an upgrade that has no drivers loading right, was gonna try to reinstall. [06:45] dkopfman: test your ram health [06:45] hello every one [06:46] okay. be back when that's done. [06:46] obs3rv3r, vpn connection failed again [06:46] ActionParsnip: Thanks, I'll try that.

[07:09] El-Dorado1, I have been [07:09] and I haven't been able to find anything that is useful [07:10] hi all [07:10] ActionParsnip, no servers are defined in both. i just used the default. i'll check anyways. but i tried specifying yahoo servers explicitly on empathy and no luck [07:10] I need help [07:10] !ask | drcode [07:10] drcode: 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. :-) [07:10] zacstone: if you run: sudo nvidia-xconfig ,you can then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ,then find how to manually set it [07:10] I have pc without usb boot [07:10] can someone help me with an alternative approach to making a startup disk? [07:10] keanne: they must be! How would the client know what to connect to? [07:10] I did build cd for booting into usb , I have installed ubuntu on pendrive [07:11] when I try to boot I got stdin error 0 [07:11] ActionParsnip, I'm doing that but i've done everything i can. [07:11] keanne: there must be servers defined to even attempt a connection [07:11] I am using ext4 on pendrive === SoulShadow is now known as Shadows`sleep [07:11] joemaverick: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10003289&postcount=17 [07:11] drcode: ext2 will make it last longer [07:11] joemaverick: solved [07:11] millertimek1a2m3, try this: millertimek1a2m3 [07:11] ActionParsnip, i get "VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. [07:11] Undefined Device "(null)" referenced by Screen "Default [07:11] Screen". [07:11] " [07:11] zacstone: log a bug then is all I can recommend [07:11] zacstone: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:11] ActionParsnip: I can't use ext3 or ext4? [07:12] <{bosco}> has anyone got Blackberry to tether in ubuntu???? [07:12] obs3rv3r and ActionParsnip , i have home network both wireless (encrypted) and wired, with 3 computers in it, there is firewall on within router and on ubuntu, key point is (i didnt install anything suspicious, but with newb you never know) that i am worried if my computer could be a zombie. i know that system and network security are wide area, but as a new user to ubuntu, is there any close to easy way to make me feel less paranoid? [07:12] millertimek1a2m3, i'm sorry, try it: http://pastebin.com/EYf1HKcy [07:12] It mean it can only boot pendrive with ext2? [07:12] i am trying to make a usb startup disk out of a 2gb SD flash card. I keep getting err number 5 input/output error. I googled it and everyone is saying that startup disk creator no longer works can someone help me with an alternative approach to making a startup disk? [07:12] ActionParsnip, I get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/517876/ [07:12] <{bosco}> .join #ubuntu-offtopic [07:13] ActionParsnip, tell me what you think I'm doing wrong [07:13] liberan: if you see traffic going out in a huge amount even if you are not using anything. Yes that s a matter of concern. [07:13] liberan: Configure your router well and firewall your hosts, accept only connections that are required. Do not port forward unless necessary on the router. [07:13] drcode: you can but the journal in ext3 and ext4 gets written to quite a bit and flash based storage has limited writes. Ext2 doesn't have a jornal so will make it last longer [07:14] El-Dorado1, it must be in seconds and miliseconds [07:14] liberan: Being under a NAT alone saves a lot of trouble unless you explicitly have something installed in your hosts. And always beware of windows :) [07:14] I need the precision [07:14] M'kay, I give. [07:14] liberan: you can run rkhunter ,to see if it has been captured. I highly doubt it [07:14] I dislike the copy of zsnes I installed (rather, how I installed it) and now I want to remove it. [07:14] ActionParsnip: so how can I fix this problem? [07:14] tiox: how did you install it? [07:14] is there another handwriting recognize like tegaki ? [07:15] El-Dorado1, oh wait [07:15] El-Dorado1, I just looked at the structure thats being used to store the return in and it's in seconds [07:15] But the thing is, I didn't install it from package. Ergo, I come here to ask how I can remove software I compiled myself cleanly. [07:15] El-Dorado1, and miliseconds [07:15] El-Dorado1, thanks [07:15] liberan: there is a nice little command you can run from terminal called bmon that you can keep an eye on to see traffic into and out of your machine: sudo apt-get install bmon (I believe) will get it for you. [07:16] ActionParsnip, using scs.msg.yahoo.com and still no luck. anyway, pidgin works so its no quite big deal [07:16] drcode: you can convert the partition to ext2 maybe by converting it (I'm not sure how to do that) or copy. The data off, format ext2 then copy the data back [07:16] millertimek1a2m3, allright [07:16] millertimek1a2m3, It works properly? [07:16] How would I remove software I put in myself cleanly? [07:16] keanne: is there a bug logged for it? I don't use either yahoo protocol or empathy [07:16] I haven't tried it yet, I wouldn't know. But I know that if the documentation says it does "xxx" I will certainly believe it! [07:16] k [07:16] thanx [07:17] 15 09 * * 1-5,7 /sbin/poweroff <--- is 1-5,7 allowed on ubuntu? [07:17] millertimek1a2m3, Okay [07:17] liberan: yes, that apt-get string is correct, I just installed it here. [07:17] ok, obs3rv3r and ActionParsnip , tnx again, i will look into rkhunter. greezmunkey , i have tried iptraf and i am monitoring my conn now on firestarted, but i will look into bmon too [07:18] tiox: if you have the source you can run: sudo make clean ,or there may be some other remove command available. If you are compiling I suggest you use checkinstall to make a deb from your efforts. You may be able to install the deb from getdeb which should use the same files but give a graceful way to remove [07:18] I need to fsck my / directory on a wubi installation how do I mount the / ??? [07:18] Neat, thanks. [07:18] word up, homies. [07:19] millertimek1a2m3, It doesn't work for me [07:19] Hi spinningcompass [07:19] So it would be sudo make clean > [07:19] ravibn: to fsck you don't want it mounted [07:19] millertimek1a2m3, Maybe it's uncompleted or something wrong there [07:20] tiox: if you read the readme in the source, it will say [07:20] ActionParsnip : that fs is in one of the NTFS directory [07:20] ravibn: I recommend you boot to ubuntu but to root recovery mode and do it there. Wubi is plagued with stupid stuff like this [07:21] ravibn: you should in theory, be able to fsck the image file in a livecd. If you had a proper install this would be a breeze [07:21] nrrors on the memory chck [07:22] no errors on the memory check [07:22] I'm trying to install from the USB again. [07:22] dkopfman: that's good :) [07:23] When I go into the F6 menu and set aipc=off and noaipc it goes to the purple loading screen with the loading dots . . . [07:23] but the loading dots freeze. [07:23] ActionParsnip : usually the / fs is mounted usually on /dev/loop0 or something so why cant i mount the same ? [07:24] technically make clean traditionally just "cleans" the compiled stuff from the source tree and doesn't do anything to files that were installed to the rest of the filesystem, some people put a make uninstall into their makefile, but certainly not all [07:24] dkopfman: if you remove the options: quiet splash ,you can watch the boot [07:24] If I *don't* set those settings, it freezes before it gets to the purple loading screen while scrolling the messages accross the screen [07:24] so i get to the login screen (gui) then i log in and it goes to a single white console window in the upper left corner, and i cant get any normal "windows" can only have one thing open at a time [07:24] I removed quiet and set nosplash [07:24] question - if i enabled SHMConfig by creating shmconfig.fdi, will deleting that newly created file afterwards have adverse effects in light of changes i want to make through synclient? I want to unlock shmconfig, make a few changes through synclient (enabling tap zones), then disable SHMConfig. [07:24] should I jst remove "splash" entirely instead of saying "nosplash"? [07:25] ravibn: you may be able to in livecd, if you are fsck-ing it you don't want it mounted as the data may change and give false positives [07:25] ActionParsnip, kill empathy-haze, restart empathy and it connected to yahoo. [07:25] dkopfman: either is fine [07:25] keanne: cool :) [07:25] keanne: i'd log abug with your fix, it may help others :) [07:26] how can I make samba share with windows, i have selected share option in nautilus under the folders I want to share, it downloaded samba and libpam and I rebooted, this is on my lan and I am in windows now and cannot see the shares [07:26] ActionParsnip, thanks! [07:26] cjae: if you run: smbtree ,on the samba server. Do you see the shares? [07:26] tried again. . . [07:27] This time it didn't get to the purple screen. It seems to be frozen after it says Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom . . . done [07:27] ActionParsnip: on the winbox? [07:27] Thanks for your help, btw! [07:28] cjae: no, the system you setup the shares on that is having the issue [07:28] It freezes at different points each time. [07:28] ActionParsnip: no [07:28] cjae: then the shares aren't right [07:29] cjae: check out System-Administration-Samba [07:29] gary_inNYC: dont see it [07:30] was trying gadmin samba earlier [07:30] cjae: you can go oldschool and manually edit /etc/samba/smb.conf [07:31] ActionParsnip: yeah but the config file seems to be much morethan I need [07:31] ActionParsnip: i dont think its a grub issue (admittedly noob) i still get my gui with mouse just no movable windows or the ability to have more than one thing open at a time [07:31] cjae: that is oldschool :) [07:31] hii all..am presently browsing from our college's net lab..where every systems are in lan..anyone has any idea to control any other system from mine??its not easy though as root access is necessary and my host is not in the sudoers file :) [07:32] cjae: why? You can just add the shares to the bottom, I'll gove you my file for reference [07:32] cjae: have you created a samba user account? [07:32] gary_inNYC: no [07:32] whats wrong with nvidia and ubuntu with 120hz refreash on new LCD monitors? it works FINE before [07:32] cjae: www.pastebin.com/Uuk5qV2d [07:33] zacstone: are you on maverick? [07:33] cjae: I getting into this late, but did you set your "windows" network (workgroup name) in Ubuntu? Is it the same as your windows workgroup name? [07:33] ActionParsnip, no i'm on ubuntu 10.10 [07:33] greezmunkey: yes its workgroup [07:33] zacstone: that's maverick [07:34] and the box in question is has autologin [07:34] ActionParsnip, so that means what? [07:34] so do I need a user account [07:34] zacstone: log a regression bug. Maverick is still pretty immature as its only been out 2 weeks, there will still be kinks in it [07:34] ActionParsnip, it was fine with last release [07:36] somebody would tell me why chrome said i have no flash installed? [07:36] cjae: if you can't access samba setup from system-administration-samba menu, to create a samba user, use terminal: sudo smbpassword -a nameofuser [07:36] then other way chrome said it comes with flash [07:36] cjae: check this simple article out: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-samba-server-on-ubuntu/ [07:37] How to disale the BOLD-FONT feature of xterm, please?

[07:40] yes, JoeMaverickSett that would be good way [07:40] !caps | sahil [07:40] sahil: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.

See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [07:40] sry [07:40] liberan: how about /boot in another? [07:40] liberan: should i encrypt / then? [07:41] JoeMaverickSett: Unless you're going to use multiple distributions with a shared /home, putting it in a separate partition doesn't make much sense. [07:41] dunno :) i on one install did what you said at first [07:41] and you can easily get flash [07:41] just install flash fr ubuntu [07:41] apt [07:41] by adobe [07:41] it will work [07:41] * greezmunkey wonders how many lines of source are in the default distro... [07:41] oh [07:41] so, if i enabled SHMConfig to make a few changes through synclient, can i then disable SHMConfig afterwards by deleting the shmconfig.fdi file without any adverse effects? [07:41] go to adobe.com? [07:42] greezmunkey: Quality, not quantity. [07:42] "Your Google Chrome browser already includes the latest Adobe® Flash® Player built-in." [07:42] but it doesn't [07:42] thank you, Jordan_U and liberan :) [07:42] JoeMaverickSett: You're welcome. [07:43] jpds: ;) [07:44] how do I fsck for wubi installation ? I am right now at recovery prompt [07:46] ravibn: You'd need to run fsck from a LiveCD.

[07:57] Jordan_U: No, that I did not... I will try right now... [07:58] Hi. My Ubuntu GUI is not starting. [07:58] zruty: You need to run update-grub after any changes to /etc/default/grub.

And that seems to be true (even though it behaves differently) for all applications I tried. [08:17] Maximum1: I have had a similar problem with my router in 9.10 I guess. Some edits on the router did help. [08:17] so, if I start the app via GUI, can I just change /dev/dsp to point to something else? [08:17] ok. I am using another pc to use this chat.

PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [08:21] kimbo: Try changing the boot order in your BIOS. [08:21] lol I did something silly [08:21] Dracaris: sudo apt-get install gcc-avr build-essentials [08:21] kimbo: If you have more than one hard drive that is. [08:22] Okay. Should I use PuTTY from WinXP, our is there anyting I can do from here? [08:22] i used " echo hello" as a "run this command when terminal starts [08:22] now the terminal blinks [08:22] and disappears [08:22] anyway to set it right? [08:23] this happened with gnome-terminal [08:23] my guake terminal still works [08:23] histo, "E: Couldn't find package build-essentials" [08:23] Jordan_U: Just one drive, boot order is set to USB then HDD. I installed from a USB installer which all went great. It didn't really ask much in terms of partitions, just a slider to re-partition the existing NTFS drive into 2 [08:23] Dracaris: no s, "build-essential" [08:23] Rohypnol: alt+F2, run "xterm". Then within xterm run "gnome-terminal -e bash" and fix the setting. [08:24] which is the right file for installation into Ubuntu Maverick? .tar.bz2 or .rpm? [08:24] ohh well it says its allready installed [08:24] taran: .deb for binaries [08:24] kimbo: Could you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt ? [08:24] blakkheim: But I want to install from this site http://reciteword.cosoft.org.cn/reciteword/index.html [08:24] Jordan_U: Sure gimme a sec [08:25] Dracaris: build-essential [08:25] Dracaris: sorry no s [08:25] taran: there is nothing preventing you from doing so [08:25] "build-essential is already the newest version." [08:25] Dracaris: k and gcc-avr ? [08:25] blakkheim: but there is no .deb there what to do now [08:25] same [08:25] blakkheim: im a newbie [08:25] taran: download the tarball and compile it [08:25] Dracaris: and why do you think you need the other package where do you see the prerequsits [08:26] I just installed wine1.2 through the package manager and it doesnt show up in the applications menu [08:26] blakkheim: tarball means .bz2 file? [08:26] taran: yes [08:26] "make[1]: ppu-gcc: Command not found [08:26] " [08:26] Jordan_U: If I boot from a USB live disk, will this still return the info you want?

Getting network connection error trying to PUTTY from the mamann67 windows system. Anything I can do from here? [08:33] Admin Problem. The first time I try to 'cp' a file (8GB) to my LVM+LUKS device (both LAN and locally), the 'cp' process stalls and iotop reports 99-100% iowait. This can be reproduced by rebooting and doing 'cp' again. Dmesg reports this about the 'cp' process: rwsem_down_failed_common+0xba/0x130 [08:35] Any ideas on how I can fix bug 570787 for brasero? [08:35] at one point i changed some settings to stop update-manager from suggesting new versions - i think i didn't want it to install new versions of php or something of the sort - in any case i want to undo those changes but can't quite remember what i did, any ideas?

I hear that poppler has now annotation support [08:40] how can I get it and is it going into the official ubuntu release?

Do you get any error messages before the grub rescue prompt? [08:43] are wordpress backups .xml files? [08:43] ok, I understand the recommendation now. Installing pastebinit. [08:43] Blue1: yes [08:43] Jordan_U: error: no such partition.

[08:44] nelson8874: you were supposed to replace "thefile" with the file name.. [08:44] Jordan_U: I notice there are now two ubuntu installations as well. I tried the install twice and thought that clicking on the existing ubuntu partition would install it there, but I guess not [08:44] blakkheim:yes, i did [08:44] highschool [08:44] Jordan_U: I can fix that as long as I work out what's going on with grub [08:44] nelson8874: are you in the directory of the file? [08:44] nelson8874: in terminal [08:45] kimbo: Is that the only error? [08:45] blakkheim: i think no [08:45] Jordan_U: Yep that's all [08:45] nelson8874: ls | grep run [08:45] kimbo: Can you reboot into the grub shell and stay on IRC at the same time? [08:45] blakkheim:i don't no how to navigate to the directory [08:45] nelson8874: cd /the/path [08:45] Jordan_U: Yep I'm there now [08:45] blakkheim:I don't no the path [08:46] nelson8874: then how can i help? lol [08:46] kimbo: Ok, try running "ls". Does it seem to list all your partitions?

[08:49] a dumb question, did the messenger protocoll change ?

[08:52] ok sorry [08:52] blakkheim, not the answer i was looking for.... [08:52] Jordan_U: And the root prefix also points to msdos7 [08:52] infact you answered a question i did not ask [08:52] blakkheim: i now have an error message from the nvidia driver. it's in portugese, i will try to tranlate it [08:53] nelson8874: there is a portuguese channel if you prefer to ask there [08:53] blakkheim:You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before [08:53] installing. For further details, please see the section INSTALLING [08:53] THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver [08:53] download page at www.nvidia.com. [08:53] nelson8874: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:54] nelson8874: yes, you must run it from a virtual console with no GUI loaded [08:54] Hi. There's a directory tree which I'm trying to sort out. This requires several 'mv' operations, each takes a while. I'd like to executes the commands sequentially, since I'd like to get the best use of my disk platters, but I'd also like to give the first as soon as I can, then have mv work in the background as I issue another mv, which will wait in the background until the first mv finishes and then start running, and then I can [08:54] a third mv, and so on. What's the best way to do this? (I don't want to script the whole mv process; the whole idea is that moving time and my time deciding where to move things are in parallel). [08:54] blakkheim:what is a virtual console? [08:55] nelson8874: if you press ctrl+alt+f2 it will take you to a virtual console [08:55] kimbo: Can you run "debug=partition" then run "ls" again? [08:56] Jordan_U: Lots of info there, anything I'm looking for specifically? [08:56] teolicy: mv foo bar && mv foo2 bar2 && mv foo3 bar3 [08:56] I am trying to run "n" on my Maverick system, but it says "error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". I could not find any "libgtk-1.2" in apt-get. How can I fix this? [08:56] teolicy: that will do one after the other. [08:56] greppy: this doesn't parallelize my time deciding where to put things with the time of the mv. [08:56] Jordan_U: I see partion 2 & 3 having flag=0, type=0, start=0, len=0 [08:56] greppy: It's quite the same as scripting the whole mv process. [08:57] kimbo: How hard would it be for you to take a picture of the screen? [08:57] Jordan_U: sure [08:57] hello world? the person who was assistng me with a GUI problem has left. [08:58] library: is ssh installed? [08:58] i am not sure histo. let me check. [08:58] library: what sort of gui problem are you having? [08:59] yes histo. [08:59] library: sry I saw your old question about putty [08:59] The issue is that I am unable to startx after a power cycle. [09:00] library: what do you mean after a power cycle? Can it ever be started? [09:00] ok i got also one question about ssh, to i need setup server to connect to my other pc with ssh ? [09:00] staar2: yes the one you want ot ocnnect to needs to have ssh server installed [09:00] histo, the system starts up into console instead of the GUI. [09:00] I am having trouble activating the Nvidia drivers through Additional Drivers, and haven't been able to since I installed in 10.4. Could someone tell me what I need to change based on this /var/log/jockey.log: http://pastebin.com/megF7ptF [09:00] library: okay is X installed? [09:01] histo, so is it possible to install it for dynamical ip address ? [09:01] nelson8874 login as root and do it. don't do it in virtual console [09:01] staar2: yes [09:01] How do I wipe off a GRUB from a MBR in one of my hds? (I have GRUB on one and GRUB2 on another one, and right now I can't boot at all without getting a UUID error) [09:01] staar2: do you want ot connect from the outside world then I would recomend getting a free url like homeip.net or whatever [09:01] you would see a history of my issue with postings from 'library' and 'mamann67' library is the affected system. [09:01] I have Xwindows installed. [09:01] penos:how do i login as root [09:01] library: okay if you type startx does X start? [09:02] penos:i'm new on linux [09:02] kittkatt0: What do you hope to gain by "whiping" grub? [09:02] right now i can dualboot lubuntu and windows 7 at startup, if i install a newer version of windows 7, wiping out the old windows partition, will grub still boot up the options of windows and ubuntu at startup? [09:02] No. I get the following error: 'Failed to load module "nvidia" ' [09:02] nelson8874 never mind. you're in ubuntu which has no root account set up by default [09:02] library: it sounds like your xorg.conf is trying to load the nvidia module which you don't have installed [09:03] library: what did you mean when you said mint ubuntu? [09:03] library: are you running linux mint or ubuntu? [09:03] linux mint. [09:03] staar2: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [09:03] library: okay you need to ask them for help. This is a ubuntu support channel [09:03] ty for information histo [09:04] Thing is the system was up for weeks before and working properly. don't know why the driver is givign trouble now. [09:04] hello all! I have just removed the wine package from my 10.10 netbook remix but the entries in my right click menu->open with->wine.exe remain... could anybody help? [09:04] zebastianortis: No, you'd need to re-install grub after installing windows: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [09:04] library: well did you install nvidia.com drivers at one point? [09:04] any teamviewer users? [09:04] Jordan_U, my old ubuntu installation would remain intact though right? [09:04] zebastianortis: If you are carefull with the windows installer, yes. [09:04] yes. [09:05] library: If you installed them that way you need to reinstall them because the kernel got updated [09:05] ItSux2Bu: most likely [09:05] Jordan_U, All i have to do is use the partitions windows is on and not the ext right? [09:05] I preferred the native drivers, but I think my son tried to install the nvidia drivers behind my back. === megatron is now known as magnetron [09:05] since then trouble. [09:05] how can i install the log-in theme manager on 10.04? [09:06] okay, I am gettign trouble because the kernel was updated. gotcha! [09:06] zebastianortis: You'd have to ask in ##windows for specifics, but yes. [09:06] (okay, how did he install those drivers .... hmmmmm.....) [09:07] hi [09:07] hello everybody [09:07] histo, is there anyway to return to the system delivered nvidia drivers? [09:08] Jordan_U: http://mygrubmess.pastebin.com/RKi8Ysgd < this is all the info related to my GRUB setup. Right now I can't even boot into grub w/o an error (shown at the bottom). I think this is caused by having more than one GRUB on my system. This is why I was thinking of deleting one [09:08] library: system - administration - > additional drivers? [09:08] Jordan_U: http://imagebin.org/119696 [09:09] kittkatt0: No, having more than one grub on one system cannot cause problems (though having a broken install of grub of course can). [09:09] histo, the information can be found at http://pastebin.com/8Qhg7FmH [09:10] odb|fidel_: i am currently stuck in console and cannot access drivers that way. [09:10] You know how in nautilus, you used to have that little toggle switch so that you can use the breadcrumb navigation or edit the text yourself? How do you get that feature back? [09:10] if I want to add an application to the menu and there is a space like program file (in wine) how to I get the location I tried program%files and program/ /files neither worked for the menu [09:11] kimbo: Try asking in #grub (though I'm not sure there's anyone there at the moment). === lonix is now known as lonix^bnc [09:11] U-b-u-n-t-u, you try %20 ? [09:12] like this program%20files/ [09:12] Hi everyone. [09:12] could someone help? in my "open with" list (10.10 netbook remix) i still have the winebrowser and wine core exe entries even after removing the wine package... [09:12] i have no idea if that will work or not.. [09:12] ok [09:13] how do I install the system delivered nvidia drivers from the console? [09:13] kimbo: According to that output you currently have no Ubuntu partitions at all. [09:13] kimbo: Sorry, wrong nick. [09:13] kittkatt0: According to that output you currently have no Ubuntu partitions at all. [09:14] in versions windows OS you have to quote a path that contains spaces.. "c:\program files\someapp" [09:14] ItSux2Bu, it added a 0 to the address didnt work [09:14] maybe %2 [09:14] Jordan_U: 'k and in the meantime I think I'll just wipe it all and try again [09:14] Jordan_U: Thanks for looking into it [09:14] or %2%0 [09:14] anyone? [09:14] > hi guys... i've setup a bridged- openvpn server on my ubuntu box(tap0 and br0)....My client connects to the server, gets an IP on the same subnet as the server, but is unable to ping/access any of the machines(including the server)... please advise what could be the cause... thanks in advance!! [09:14] kimbo: Before you do that could you actually make an image of your mbr? [09:14] or %32 [09:14] Jordan_U: Oh sorry I see the mixup :) [09:15] Jordan_U: How do I do that? [09:15] Jordan_U: I did but Ubuntu kept freezing on me randomly so I wanted to try something else, I thought GRUB worked the same across all distros? [09:16] kittkatt0: When you deleted your Ubuntu partition you deleted half of what grub needs to load. [09:16] kittkatt0: Som distros have grub legacy, others have grub 1.96 , there are differences :-( [09:16] umm when i log into ssh through putty and log out my IP gets added to the hosts.deny list in my server.. any idea? [09:16] ItSux2Bu, when I am using the % it makes the address ProgramsFiles/ instead of Program files/ [09:17] ItSux2Bu, so it doesnt find the folder [09:17] kimbo: The reason I ask is that I think this may be a bug in grub, and if it is I'd like to see it fixed (but if you whipe the partitions we may never know what the bug actually was). [09:17] i came in the middle of your problem, again? [09:17] Jordan_U: Sure happy to, if you can let me know how I'll send it across === Guest32675 is now known as Syria [09:18] okay, different question: how do I get Ubuntu to automatically mount NTFS partitions with umask=0000 ? [09:18] kimbo: You are stuck at the grub boot prompt, right ? [09:18] it seems that alsa is ignoring my /etc/asound.conf. is that file ignored in ubuntu? [09:18] mmoebius: yep [09:18] kimbo: What is you partition layout e.g. which partitions are there and where should ubuntu be ? [09:19] umm when i log into ssh through putty and log out my IP gets added to the hosts.deny list in my server.. any idea? [09:19] Jordan_U: It's odd that it manifests itself in this situation. I've just done a clean install of Win7 from a formatted NTFS drive, then immediately ran the USB install of Ubuntu 10.10 and didn't choose any advanced options on a Dell Inspiron 6000. Seems a fairly common setup [09:19] hello world. how do I install native nvidia drivers from the console? [09:19] kimbo: It is indeed odd. [09:19] SadHero: you have denyhosts running, check its config [09:19] mmoebius: I have one drive (hd0) and 5 partitions, 1 NTFS and 2 EXT2+SWAP from 2 failed installations of ubuntu [09:20] llutz where can i check its config? [09:20] kimbo: That's interesing, because grub only sees two of the partitions. [09:20] mmoebius: but as Jordan spotted boot_info script comes up with everything ok, but inside grub it only lists 2 msdos partitions and can't see anything else [09:21] SadHero: /etc/denyhosts.conf [09:21] kimbo: Anyways, with gub 2 (grub 1.96 to be exact) you have to 'set root=(hd0, )' before you can do anything useable. try it :-) [09:21] mmoebius/Jordan_U: Is there a sanity check I can run from the live USB to see myself? maybe like gparted, etc? [09:21] I have a desktop running on windows, full of viruses I am sure no one surprised and I have to run Autocad on this desktop so can I scan for viruses using ubuntu? [09:22] mmoebius: The current stable version of grub is 1.98 [09:22] kimbo: an output of fdisk -l is usually quite revealing. Can you pastebin that ? [09:22] Jordan_U: GRUB_Savedefault seems to confuse things.. [09:22] does anyone know how to get the menu editor to pass over a space in the address to get to a folder? [09:23] mmoebius: It's in the boot info script output kimbo pastebinned earlier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/517898/ [09:23] Jordan_U: Thanks for the info :-) I just saw that Ubuntu 10.04 has that, already [09:23] U-b-u-n-t-u: like\ this\ probably [09:23] How do I remove the email icon from the indicator applet in the gnome panel? I dont care about email since I use gmail as an app. [09:23] mmoebius: You're welcome. [09:23] blakkheim, I tried \ \ [09:23] Jordan_U: Just as a random guess I ran 'debug=all' then did 'ls' again, and I see this error message: "Read out of range: sector 0x1278f800 (out of disk). \n Closing 'hd0' \n biosdisk.c:76: Read error when probing drive 0x81 [09:23] kimbo: Can you try "ls (hd0,msdos5)/"? Does it list the files as it should? [09:24] Jordan_U: Nope it says unknown filesystem [09:24] Jordan_U: But I'll figure it out. Thanks for the assist anyway! [09:24] blakkheim, SEEMINGLY I had tried / / and not \ \ thanks [09:24] kimbo: Ahh, out of disk suggests a BIOS bug. [09:25] kimbo: For wahtever reason, the partitions are not all enumerated by grub. that is strange [09:25] Jordan_U: hmmmm thinking about it, I did swap to a new hdd before doing all this, perhaps the bios hasn't refreshed the drive parameters?? [09:25] kimbo: Though normally you get that error without $debug set. [09:25] kimbo: Jordan_U: Is the bios really responsible for figring out the partitions? I always thought grub should do that itself [09:26] kimbo: Many BIOSs simply can't properly handle large drives. Is it a SATA or PATA drive? [09:26] Notebook IDE [09:26] mmoebius: Not for figuring out partitions, but for reading from the disk. In this case the BIOS appears not to be able to read far enough into the drive for the partition in question. [09:27] I think i'm going to reset the bios completely and see if it changes the reporting on the drive [09:27] do you still want the MBR dump? [09:27] kimbo: That likely won't help. [09:27] it seems it's not strictly a failure in grub (except perhaps through lack of error handling) [09:27] hello histo: ? [09:28] kimbo: If you want to confirm that it's a BIOS bug you can try installing grub witht the "--disk-module=ata" parameter or boot Super GRUB2 Disk and select the option "Enable GRUB2's PATA support (to work around BIOS bugs/limitations)". [09:29] how do I get Ubuntu to automatically mount NTFS partitions with umask=0000 ? [09:31] kimbo: If you are in the live-cd again, you can always try reinstalling grub with grub-install or (if the ubuntu-installer is too stupid to do it (agin, sic)) try grub-setup and specify -r and -d ... read 'grub-setup --help' on options [09:31] kimbo: If you just want it fixed, the easiest solution is to use manual partitioning and create a small /boot/ partitin near the beginning of the drive where the BIOS will not have any problems reading from it. [09:32] Hello everyone! [09:32] Jordan_U: Ok cool I kind've just want it fixed but at the same time I'm a bit curious :> I'll have a bit of a play with it and if I get no joy i'll just do the manual partition job [09:32] thanks very much for the help [09:32] hello? [09:32] how do I find out my webcam model? [09:32] I tried to connect my Xbox to my LAN though my PC. Ideally, I'd like to do a MAC bridge, but I can't find a guide on it. [09:32] hello [09:32] So, I tried sharing via System -> Preferences -> Network Connections [09:33] Hey everyone [09:33] and setting "Auto eth0" to "Sharing to other computers" [09:33] However [09:33] my Xbox is failing to acquire an IP address via DHCP from the laptop === pooky_ is now known as pooky [09:33] Does Ubuntu's ICS use only static IP addresses? [09:33] kimbo: To try using grub's native IDE drivers follow this guide to install grub manually http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide and simply add the option "--disk-module=ata" to the grub-install command. [09:33] Should I got with Ubuntu 10.10 [09:33] scarra3: Sure, works fine for me [09:33] Scarra3: rephrase please [09:34] Well im making a game for windows, linux, and os x [09:34] I need to add a printer, but smb:// doesn't work, and socket:// could bypass the printing administration system, which I don't want. what can I do? [09:35] kimbo: Then if it really is a BIOS bug you should be able to boot fine (untill the next time grub is upgraded in Ubuntu and gets installed without the --disk-modules option). [09:35] iego: messing with cups via browser is a simple way to handle printers [09:36] is there any way of changing the ugly purple background during the startup? want it to be black... [09:36] odb|fidel_: that's what I'm doing, but cups didn't recognize the printers automatically [09:36] How do I remove the email icon from the indicator applet in the gnome panel? I dont care about email since I use gmail as a webapp. [09:36] industrial: right-click? [09:37] kimbo: If you get the same problem with --disk-modules=ata then it's definitely a grub bug and a bug report would be very helpfull. You'll know that the ata support is setup properly because you'll see (ata0,msdos1) instead of (hd0,msdos1) from "ls". [09:37] ftornell: the applet is one thing with volume AND email [09:37] ftornell: i dont want the email icon, I just want a volume slider in my gnome panel [09:37] industrial: hmm k [09:37] how do I find out my webcam model? I know its a logitech but thats all.... [09:37] ftornell: but ubuntu removed the old applet/app for that [09:37] ftornell: and now Im stuck with an email button thats NEVER used [09:37] annoys me [09:38] is there a way to install ubuntu-xen-server with aptitude? it says the package is broken.... [09:38] industrial: right click it and select Remove [09:39] I've got ubuntu server 10.4.1 i386 [09:39] iego: that removes the APPLET [09:39] iego: the applet consists of more then one icon [09:39] I want to keep the volume slider but ubuntu removed the old separate one in 10.10 [09:39] now its one thing with email and volume and keyring etc [09:40] google isn't very helpful on this issue...seems that ubuntu focused on KVM and left xen besides... [09:41] How do I know if my hardware on this new laptop is supported by ubuntu / linux [09:41] it is :) [09:41] iego, ftornell: http://images.gammatester.com/pics/60ead51242f8a0e4d867a1cc20def9ec.png [09:41] Scarra3: Easiest way is to boot the Ubuntu liveCD. [09:42] they should cut them up into one icon things so I can ditch the ones I dont like >:( === Putr|Away is now known as Putr [09:42] and since when is an icon inside the tray not good enough [09:42] dont need an applet for it [09:42] (guess thats an applet too) [09:42] hi [09:43] you can see my network has a tray icon, can I get one for volume aswell? [09:43] then I'm dont=e, basically [09:43] okay I got brasero to at least try to make iso images from copying disks. It isn't making iso's though it is generating a toc file and a bin file. Does anyone happen to know why it is doing that? [09:43] s/t=// [09:43] industrial: right click the panel, and click Add to panel [09:43] the eaysiest way would be to switch back to debian as Xen host and set up a ubuntu server xen guest [09:43] hm ok thx anyway === whatever is now known as Guest20447 [09:45] industrial: see this post http://superuser.com/questions/73200/remove-or-add-entry-in-indicator-applet-ubuntu-gnome [09:45] industrial: it also works in 10.10 [09:46] iego: like i said ubuntu removed the one that was there for just volume with ubuntu 10.10 [09:46] hi all! i have trouble with my nvidia driver. it doesn't detect the monitor correctly. [09:46] iego: at least I have no volume app there. [09:46] can you tell me how nvidia-settings determins available resolutions? or how to for a custom resolution? [09:47] i'm using the latest binary driver, btw [09:47] what is /etc/X11/xorg.conf giving you? [09:47] crawler: ty [09:48] Does Ubuntu 10.10 Support the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics Card? [09:48] industrial: also, if you want to remove the mail indicator icon: sudo apt-get remove indicator messages [09:48] industrial: then restart the gnome panel: killall gnome-panel [09:48] the_german: close to nothing, no resolutions or meta-modes defined there. afaik gdm uses xrandr to set modes dynamically, and largely ignores xorg.conf? nvidia-settings sais it can't parse the xorg.conf [09:48] industrial: indicator-messages* [09:49] good day. exuse me, could you tell me please, what C function formats string like printf? [09:49] Daniel_WMDE: sudo nvidia-settings...and then try to write the xorg.conf manuelly [09:49] the_german: i can post xorg.conf if you like... but anyway, i don't want to *fix* the resolution. i move around with my laptop a lot, using different screens. [09:49] the_german: i can't select the right resoltuion in nvidia-settings. it's not offered. [09:49] that exactly is the problem [09:50] Daniel_WMDE: what version of ubuntu...what excactly is the graphics-chip? [09:50] achpile: snprintf [09:51] thanx a lot [09:51] Daniel_WMDE: the_german: I suppose both of you are aware of KMS (Kernel Mode setting) ? [09:51] industrial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9165116&postcount=2 [09:51] Íå ìîãó ÷òî-òî íàéòè êîíñîëüíîãî ðèïåðà äëÿ last.fm, íå ïîäñêàæåòå êàêîé-íèáóäü? [09:51] mmoebius: yap...

[09:52] ทดสอบภาษาไทย [09:52] mmoebius: what are you trying to tell us? [09:53] magnetron: win, thx [09:53] the_german: nvidia-seetings is now broken, btw - " [09:53] Failed to find display device 0x00000001 on screen 0 (on GPU-0) [09:53] while parsing metamode: [09:53] "... [09:53] Daniel_WMDE: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:53] never seen that before. [09:53] Daniel_WMDE: sometimes it seems to me, the kernel mod e setting governs which video resolution is chosen. I don't understand the system very well and actually I fear it quite a bit. My own ubuntu graphics was messed ub and the standard text console still is [09:54] Jordan_U: excuse me, but that is not what I need... I need function, which returns formatted string like str = some_func("t = %i", t) [09:54] KMS is supposed to configure it for you [09:54] mmoebius: i have this problem with only one type of monitor. all others work. [09:54] Jordan_U: without printing [09:54] why is there no simply way to force a resolution on a screen that is detected as generic crt? [09:54] Daniel_WMDE: You can use an xorg.conf to define your own monitor and a modeline b hand [09:55] well, i can in xorg.conf, but then it's fixed forever. i want to be able to change it with nvidia-settings [09:55] 好人是什么 [09:55] achpile: C libraries don't work like that. You need to create the buffer then pass a pointer to it to snprintf. [09:55] !cn | user__ [09:55] user__: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [09:55] mmoebius: but it will be gone as soon as i use nvidia-settings next. which i do every day. because i use my laptop on different screens at home, on different desks at work, etc [09:55] 这里是什么，谁能告诉我 [09:55] Jordan_U: ...ok =) thanks [09:55] achpile: You're welcome. [09:56] so, i want nvidia-settings to offer the right modes. which it usually does. except for the syncmaster P2250. [09:56] 这里有会讲中国话的吗 [09:57] Daniel_WMDE: did you try turning the monitor on before starting the computer? helps for me, the auto-detect is done during boot and won't work if the screen is off [09:57] Daniel_WMDE: In that case, the easies solution is to keep a backup xorg.conf and copy it back in place if needed [09:57] the_german: GeForce 8400M GS, vbios 60.86.64.00.23. does that help? [09:58] mmoebius: and restart X. how do i restart X from gdm? kdm has an option for that... [09:58] magnetron: yes. [09:58] is there any way to have evolution check for new mail without having it open and/or minimized to the panel?? [09:58] Daniel_WMDE: The problem may be very likely that the monitor doesn't identify itself correctly via dde , which seems to be required by current xorg auto-config-magic :-( [09:58] hello [09:58] mmoebius: which is why i'm asking for *manual* config for nvidia-settings. or at least xrandr. [09:59] odb|fidel_: any thoughts for me? [09:59] xorg.conf is *extremly* combersome, it forces me to kill my session whenever is switch desks. [09:59] Daniel_WMDE: re-enable Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill the X-Server ... or just 'sudo pkill X# [09:59] mmoebius: still kills the session... [09:59] Daniel_WMDE: Nvidia's proprietary driver doesn't support xrandr IIRC. [09:59] but i'd like to enable ctrl-alt-backspace. how do I? [10:00] Jordan_U: really? huh... [10:00] hm, i'm about to give up on this :( [10:00] hi2all [10:00] Daniel_WMDE: I may be remembering wrong. [10:00] Daniel_WMDE: nvidia-settings is nvidia's proprioetary approach for mode setting and does not really follow linux customs. The the thing like "System Control -> Display -> Properties -> Screen Resolutuion" is a Window-ism and doesn't really make sense for unix. [10:01] i have problems with sound over hdmi [10:01] Daniel_WMDE: The wrongness ist that they rewrite xorg.conf each time where only an xrandr-command would be needed [10:01] my system is ubuntu 10.04 [10:01] mmoebius: i don't even see anything like "System Control -> Display -> Properties -> Screen Resolutuion" anywhere... [10:01] hardware and software description http://pastebin.com/HckQQH9U [10:01] can somebody help for me? [10:02] Daniel_WMDE: Oh, you can set a modeline with xrandr's --newmode command, then activat that [10:02] mmoebius: cool - how? xrandr is extremly confusing to me. how do i even tell it which display/screen the mode applies to? [10:03] Daniel_WMDE: The "System Control" thing is a window-ism. In Linux, the screen should be configured in xorg.conf or determined via DDE (my opinion(tm)) [10:03] lol tn [10:03] Daniel_WMDE: That is where confusion with xrandr sets in with meee, too; let me see .... [10:03] มีคนไทยไหมครับ [10:04] HI [10:04] hey im using a vm machine and i installed 9,04 fine. .then i updated inside the vm to 10.04 ..is it possible to go from 10.04 to 10.10? and if so what would be the reasons of not being able to? [10:04] nobody has working hdmi with audio? [10:04] my kernels been updates and lots of other packages have too [10:04] i have recently upgraded my computer so I installed ubuntu 10.10. I have 4gb of ram however, system monitor says that i only have 3.9gb of ram installed. I am running 64bit OS. is there some way to fix this? [10:04] is tehre an easy way of finding only security updates in these packages [10:05] so it displays that i have 4gb of ram? [10:05] r1cochet, no way [10:05] that is nothing [10:05] probably 100MB is reserved for video memory [10:05] x[x], it is possible [10:05] i have an nvidia grfx card [10:06] I can not connect to freenode using weechat behind campus proxy, anyone knows how? [10:06] r1cochet, do you really need this 100mb? [10:06] onboard ddr5 [10:06] no not really, just wondering if there was a simple solution [10:06] My nick is registered and identified why can't i join #python? [10:06] lenios .. i cant/dont have an option to upgrade in the update manager AND when i go dist-upgrade in terminal it says everything is updated [10:06] so i take it there is not oracle ? [10:06] pylix: Try asking in #freenode. [10:06] thx [10:07] You're welcome. [10:07] im more curious as to why not all of the ram is being seen [10:07] update-manager -c ? [10:07] the_german, mmoebius: logging off to restart X. bbl [10:07] uhh [10:07] i didnt try that lenion [10:07] lenios [10:07] gimmie a sec [10:08] Daniel_WMDE: Do you have graphics on the machine in question at all ? [10:08] r1cochet, run free -m in a terminal [10:08] nope [10:08] still says nothing to update [10:09] Is it possible to install numpy package for python using the packet manager in ubuntu? [10:09] R1cochet: You're missing 100 MB of RAM? [10:09] i have [10:09] total 3959 [10:09] Diverdude: yes [10:09] R1cochet: I believe that's normal. [10:09] r1cochet, jesus r1cochet why is this a problem [10:09] R1cochet: The kernel won't show you RAM it's using itself. [10:09] R1cochet: notebook? [10:09] i was wondering where it went [10:10] R1cochet: 3.9 GiB is the RAM available to userspace, the rest is reserved for the kernel. [10:10] R1cochet: If you follow dmesg, you'll probably see the kernel is using about 100MB of RAM. [10:10] magnesium, how do i do that? [10:10] no its a desktop, i was curious as to why not all of it shows [10:10] x[x], try pasting your /etc/apt/sources.list [10:10] R1cochet: reserved memory, as said otherwise, is not shown. Reserved memory may be that which is locked by kernel (for VMs, or just generally so) and also by your BIOS for the graphics sharing if that is present, etc. [10:11] it's being "used" so it's not simply missing.

[10:12] i see that [10:12] I'm trying to add a printer using cups web ui, smb:// doesn't work, and socket:// could bypass the printing administration system. any ideas what to do? [10:13] open the sources.list file, copy the text, and go to the pastebin page to paste it in the form [10:13] iego: why bother with the web ui? [10:13] ok cool [10:13] thanks [10:14] gdb: is there a line i can grep for in dmesg? [10:14] what command can I use to show information about my cd/dvd drive? [10:14] R1cochet: dmesg|grep Memory [10:15] right lads [10:15] http://pastebin.com/dJd2W02u [10:15] R1cochet: likely the 1st output line [10:15] R1cochet: Don't quote me on it, but you may find it with "dmesg | grep fixmap" [10:15] Diverdude: install the python-numpy package [10:15] hrm [10:15] no that's not it [10:15] R1cochet: there's a way to query the SMBus for it [10:16] R1cochet: I don't know immediately what that would be, but you can query and find out exactly which modules are installed and in which slot [10:16] Hi, is there an easy way to update my programs ? I was told "sudo apt-get upgrade (name of program)" would upgrade my programs to the latest version, this doesnt seem to be working [10:16] or do I have top add these PPA packages to my sources list to get the updates ? [10:16] lucent: He's wanting to see where the kernel says, essentially, "I'm using 100MB, go away." [10:16] I'm not sure it's that easy, though. [10:16] Aer: That will only get you the latest that's available in the standard repos [10:17] For listing which memory is in which slot, the command "lshw" can show that, if it's installed. [10:17] Aer: which program specifically do you feel is not up to date? [10:17] gdb: grep MEM /var/log/kern.log [10:17] that ? [10:17] hmm, so for me to get this upgrade only way for me to do it is to uninstall my program and go to the programs website and download, each time their is a new update ? :/ [10:17] Emesene an IM client [10:18] gdb: too much, it should be more specific; grep "MEM available" /var/log/kern.log [10:18] maybe. [10:18] dmesg | grep Memory gives a reasonable readout [10:18] lenios, http://pastebin.com/dJd2W02u [10:18] lucent: No, those 2 numbers together = the amount of physical RAM available. [10:18] the newest version fixes some bugs i have now such as slow transfer when sending/receiving files... really need the new version otherwise download/upload only goes like 5kb/s [10:18] okay i'm back. [10:19] I'm getting an error in my log file "ata1.00: device reported invalid CHS sector 0" whenever I put something into my dvd drive, where would be a good place to look for solutions to this problem? [10:19] however, "reserved" isn't technically memory reserved for the kernel, its memory reserved by hardware etc [10:19] Aer: then you probably will need to add a ppa [10:19] gaelfx: yeaoow. [10:19] R1cochet: You may see a line like this in your dmesg: [10:19] Aer: but I personally prefer not to do that if at all possible [10:19] (I think) [10:19] Memory: 32446696k/33554432k available (2439k kernel code, 582980k reserved, 1234 [10:19] k data, 192k init) [10:19] gdb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:19] ahh :/ thats what i didnt want to do lol, the onlt PPA i couldnt find was to some beta version that was unstable apparently [10:19] hello chan [10:19] yeah yeah, wasn't supposed to line wrap! :D [10:19] question?

[10:20] the only ppa's ive added are ones i found that only update to the most recent "Stable" version [10:20] R1cochet: That "kernel code" I think may be what the kernel has reserved for itself [10:20] !ask | jasonsmr [10:20] jasonsmr: 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. :-) [10:20] library: use the "jockey-text" command [10:20] library: why don't you use the ubuntu gui and the hardware drivers tool [10:20] gaelfx: is there a problem, or just that error message? [10:21] right does every ubuntu come with the KVM [10:21] I thought it did [10:21] x[x], try to paste (in pastebin) the result of : ls /var/lib/apt/lists/* [10:21] I want to know that how can we Change or Modify Login Screen In Ubuntu?? I want to know. Someone Help [10:21] because the gui is not starting ikonia: thanks magnetron: [10:21] I dunno if this is the right place to ask or if all Linux distros are the same but, is there a linux distro that does let you keep all programs updated easy say like running "sudo apt-get update (name of program)" or by updating programs with rest of the system in the update manager ? [10:21] or are all linux versions like this id need to add the ppa etc [10:21] or do it manually and download from site [10:21] Aer: I don't understand your question. [10:21] that might simply say* I want a emulated processor [10:22] Aer: Pretty much every Linux (exception of Slackware) will update every piece of software that is under package management for you with 1 command. [10:22] Aer: ubuntu updates all the programs for you - it offers updates in update manager [10:22] well my programs are never up to date with ubuntu there doesnt seem to be any easy way of keeping them up to date, i either have to hunt for a PPA to add to my sources list or download it manually [10:22] my ubuntu doesnt update any program [10:22] Aer: ahh, you mean up to date with upstream [10:22] gdb: thank you [10:22] Aer: ubuntu does not do that [10:22] Aer: pretty much no distro runs on bleeding edge [10:22] like my Instant messaging client [10:22] Aer: "up to date" does not mean "latest release by the software author" [10:23] is a few versions behind i have to keep updating it manually [10:23] magnetron: jockey-text does not seem to work. It just said 'searching for available drivers' then returned to the prompt. === adrian is now known as Guest98524 [10:23] There is no Linux distribution that will keep up to date with upstream. Your closest bet is probably Debian unstable (which would be offtopic for support in this channel). [10:23] hmm ok, its just id like to stay up to date with the latest stable releases [10:23] Aer: not something ubuntu (or pretty much any distro) does [10:23] library: run "jockey-text -h" for usage instructions [10:23] lenios, http://pastebin.com/GiNJ0Erp [10:23] ahh :( [10:23] Latest stable releases means "do not track upstream" [10:23] Aer: you're thinking of maybe a ports like system from FreeBSD, which is not Linux [10:23] How to modify the login screen in Ubuntu?? [10:23] I want an portable application for chatting on LAN at college, do you know any? [10:23] oh :s [10:24] you'll find there aren't too many that offer automatic updates from one version to another because updating to different versions can potentially change functionality, configuration files, etc [10:24] akshit_: gdm modifications are not really fully available in current gnome versions [10:24] Guest98524 - Do you want IRC chatting? [10:24] i saw someone mention Slackware further up the post, how does that one do what I am looking for with updates though ? [10:24] akshit_: easy way is to install ubuntu-tweak, but you can only change the background image [10:24] Guest98524: gajim can do serverless XMPP [10:24] Guest98524: use pidgin or empathy (default in ubuntu) with the ichat/avahi chat protocol [10:24] hello [10:24] Aer: No, there's no real "package management" in the sense of deb/rpm in Slackware. [10:24] Gentoo is the closest Aer but from experience I can tell you, Gentoo is like taking up alcohol or a drug habit, because you will be so crazy about having the newest software, and for what good reason? None I can find. [10:24] lucent, even ports are done manually by maintainers [10:24] Background image way I have [10:24] There's package management, but it's not what you're expecting. [10:24] Guest98524: just turn on "Local" and it will see other using the same technique [10:25] Alright [10:25] thanks [10:25] Guest98524: pidgin and empathy has support for this as well, AFAIK [10:25] ./who *.se [10:25] just using apt-build [10:25] i have a good reason right now lol [10:25] akshit_: This holds true for all Linux distros using the current gnome 2 release. [10:25] but at college we dont have those applications in linux [10:25] what command can I use to show me info about my cd/dvd drive? lspci doesn't list it [10:25] my current version of one of my programs is buggy version the update provides a fix for it [10:25] hi, anyone knows greek ocr for ubuntu ? [10:25] Guest98524: pidgin? empathy? gajim? none of them? [10:25] but i have to do it manually, go to website and download and install [10:25] akshit_: You can get away with mucking about in /etc/X11/gdm (if that exists on Ubuntu, not 100% positive). [10:25] although i think there is an pidgin portable [10:25] if they run ubuntu at least one should be installed by default [10:25] Aer: compiling from source and installing the new version into an alternate location, and modifying your environment to reference the installed version, this is what I do for certain softwares :) [10:26] anyone had problems after upgrading 9.10 to 10.04? Gnome seems to forget my visual settings [10:26] no, at college the computers have debian installed [10:26] Aer: You may consider this an opportunity to learn how to package deb software and create a local package for yourself. [10:26] Guest98524 - Yes, it is and you can always use Xchat for IRC [10:26] hmm [10:26] Aer: I have $HOME/software/thing/local where "thing" type software is installed to, and I run a script that sets all pkg-config and library and path references up for it [10:26] is this easy ? where can i learn this ? [10:26] I have a problem with pulseaudio: everything works except i only have a dummy output device. (i have "correct" input devices though)... [10:26] there's a lot to learn about it, privmsg I could guide you through how I do it [10:26] so you have a script that updates it lucent ? [10:27] IRC is not very convenient on a LAN though [10:27] ok cool [10:27] printer-state-message="Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)" <--- what does this mean? [10:27] but I think I could download the portable version of pidgin, wich I wouldn't have to install [10:27] Aer: http://goo.gl/n4KA -- lots of links here to peruse. [10:27] because we dont have permission to install applications [10:27] ok, thanks guys :) [10:28] thanks magnetron: jackey-text seems to do what I was looking for. [10:28] Aer: For large software distributions like Open/LibreOffice, Firefox, etc, I suggest using /opt. For smaller on-offs, /usr/local/* [10:28] Then, can I use Xchat to chat on a LAN [10:28] one-offs, rather [10:28] x[x], sudo rm -f /var/lib/apt/lists/{ie,sec}* [10:28] and then apt-get update [10:29] hmm [10:29] Guest98524: AFAIK xchat is an IRC client, so you'll need a IRC server [10:29] sorry noob question, using "/opt" ? is :s [10:29] if you are on a LAN and need to chat with other people on the same LAN, i would suggest serverless XMPP, which need no server at all [10:29] Guest98524: chat on a lan i think pidgin with bonjour [10:29] then that wouldn't be a good idea [10:29] Doesn't empathy support LAN based chat using, um, Avhi? (whatever the open source version of Bonjour is) [10:30] gdb: yes, it uses serverless XMPP [10:30] lenios, [10:30] that worked [10:30] same as pidgin, gajim and couple of others [10:30] your a genius [10:30] I will try to make some tests using pidgin this afternoon when I get to college [10:30] good to know [10:30] Well, there you go! You already have it then. [10:30] magnetron: I am getting this message when I try to run startx - API mismatch. the NVIDIA kernel module has version 173.14.22 but the nvidia driver component has version 195.36.24. [10:30] what was removed? [10:30] nvm it was a folder in the system right xD [10:30] and why was it blocking? [10:30] the cache of apt-get update was not updated on your machine [10:31] cuz its on a vm? [10:31] no [10:31] magnetron: would jockey-text correct this issue? [10:31] i don't really know why [10:31] I'm gonna download the pidgin portable version and try it, now [10:31] hmm [10:31] Guest98524: good luck! [10:31] i presume i hit apt-get dist-upgrade right ? [10:31] or go to update manager? [10:32] it should be ok [10:32] library: seems like you ran the installer from the nvidia webpage instead of the one that comes with ubuntu? [10:32] neither worked [10:32] Thanks guys! [10:32] apt-get upgrade? [10:32] hi, anyone knows greek ocr for ubuntu ? or a non greek with training support [10:32] and excuseme for my bad english haha.. I just speak spanish [10:32] what does "update-manager -d" shows you? [10:33] Guest98524: thats ok, not native speaker either [10:33] :) [10:33] magnetron: i think my son did that behind my back. I prefer the delivered drivers. how do I get them back? [10:33] Guest98524: no worries, your english is fine [10:33] then, where are you from? [10:33] united states :-) [10:33] it shows me this [10:33] http://pastebin.com/J6ng0bxu [10:33] hello, i'm from indonesia [10:33] thanks crawler [10:34] there is a - between update and manager, update-manager [10:34] Im from Dominican Republic, but I live in Europe [10:34] library: the drivers from the nvidia webpage are not adapted to ubuntu and will break the update process in the manner you are now experiencing. worse is, they don't offer you an uninstaller. For all i know, the changes that the Nvidia-supplied installer are permanent. [10:35] ok dude [10:35] it works now [10:35] but when i did that like 2 mins ago it didnt [10:35] perhaps "she" wasnt ready [10:35] magnetron: omg. so there is no way to undo that? [10:36] library: not that i know of [10:36] magnetron: ok. is there a way to reinstall the OS over the exising one, like the recover install in Windows? [10:37] library: i'll pass that question on to the channel [10:37] where can i get a list of commands for this channel? (such as !hi | , !ask | !ubottu > crawler [10:38] crawler, please see my private message [10:38] Guest98524: cold north of europe [10:38] ikonia: thanks [10:39] I live in Spain [10:39] join #stxnext [10:39] hi VIDIOC_STREAMOFF error 16, Device or resource busy [10:39] i get this error while trying to use my camera [10:39] hi, im trying to recreate a routing configuration that i had on a centos machine on my new ubuntu server. ive got a pptp vpn set up on ppp0 which works, and if i add routes to the main routing table i can route traffic to particular ips/subnets over the vpn, which works fine. what i want to do is have one user bound completely to the vpn. the way i did this before was to create a new routing table, eg create a new table in /etc/iproute2/rt_ [10:39] -A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner -j MARK --set-mark 1 [10:40] but whenever i add a default route into the new routing table, the user is unable to route anywhere :/ [10:40] anyone have any idea what im doing wrong? this worked fine on centos 5.5 [10:42] Any idea how to connect a Sumsung cellular phone to an Ubuntu box and extract the contact list? === vehsarc is now known as crashev [10:42] negev: i know nothing about that but it sounds like it could be a group policy issue === RichiH is now known as RICHIH [10:44] crawler: what are group policies? === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [10:45] negev: in a terminal run users-admin [10:46] hello world. is there a way to reinstall the OS over the exising one, like the recover install in Windows?

I have a problem with my ubuntu 10.10 I don't get a network-manager icon -.- so I started nm-applet in a shell but then I get the error: ** (nm-applet:2446): WARNING **: constructor(): Couldn't initialize the D-Bus manager.

I use the DVI port for secondary monitor. Each time I move around I have to use Nvidia Tool to enable/disable twinview. Is there a way around that? I have to take my laptop of desk often and it is annoying having to configure each time I move ? [10:53] ghatak: you can save the xorg.conf generated by the nvidia thing and save it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [10:54] ghatak: did you try the option to save to xorg.conf [10:54] please help! I have ubuntu-server i386. I want to use IO Sheulder anticipatory, but in default kernel it option is not available (( [10:54] I have last ubuntu release 10.10 with 2.6.35-22-generic-pae [10:55] popey: that does not solve the issue. As soon as I disconnect the DVI port, X still thinks there a secondary monitor connected. When I go to a meeting using laptop. I loose track of mouse because X thinks it is on second monitor area [10:55] smooph: as above [10:55] in 10.04 it works [10:56] hello world. is there a way to reinstall the OS over the exising one, like the recover install in Windows?

I don't know if there is an easier solution but you can definitly use grub to use different xorg configurations ... but don't ask how [10:58] smooph: grub ? what has that got to do with X ? [10:58] hi guys, do you know if its possible to assign an alsa audio device to lets say /dev/audio0 or something? rather than having to use its hw id === CHOCOBY is now known as chocoby [11:00] nothing much think of it this way ... I used to have a setup like this 2 years ago ... u have 2 xorg.conf files , one for 2 monitors and one for 1 monitor ... and when booting your system you tell your system which config to use [11:00] ghatak: above [11:01] ghatak: there might be a much simpler method these days ... just in case you are despret [11:01] smooph: I can see how would that help. but my issue is slightly different. I certainly don't want to reboot each time I disconnect the second monitor. [11:02] ghatak: Would doing a twinview help ? [11:02] I guess you are using nvidia-settings right ? [11:02] hello, i use ubuntu 10.10 with gnome desktop manager, the problem is that at the top panel the icons are mixed up and some of them are dislplayed more than once. this happens every time i'm loging in to the system. What can i do to solve this, it is very frustating to delete the .gnome related hodden files every time [11:02] maybe you can give a configfile as an option [11:02] obs3rv3r: that is what I got atm, but as you probably already know, twinview does not disable the second monitor when you disconnect the second port === jasonsmr is now known as Jasonsmr [11:02] Hello everyone [11:03] smooph: correct [11:03] xuzuoyun: Liar! I did not, I did not hit her [11:03] can you help me? I've been trying to add a PAS printer to no avail [11:04] christoz: render bug, happens to me also [11:04] My english is very bad [11:04] Hi, i just installed 10.10 and i wanna have the regular adress bar and not the stupid buttons in nautilus, how do i change that? [11:04] i need an antivirus to check windows malware and linux malware. any suggestion? [11:04] !virus [11:04] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [11:04] this way you could create some button that starts the system with the right config [11:04] skumara: the only malware on Ubuntu is the user. [11:04] quote me on that. [11:04] I've tried smb://server/printer but that gives me printer-state-message="Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)" [11:04] when i link a file that has spaces is the directory it always cuts off the directory for instance when trying to mv a folder i would use mv /home/myusername/documents/redbox thing /home/Downloads it would give me [11:04] could not find redbox no such file or directory could not find [11:04] could not find thing no such file or directory could not find but when i rename the file without spaces it usually works. why is this?

Any help? [11:06] lucent: Aah, fair enough [11:07] angelete2: dont use fakeraid [11:07] raid 0+1, sorry [11:07] nevermind that Gnome Terminal arbitrarily changes charsets on me when processing a newline. That's fantastic. [11:07] hey [11:07] any one can help me with crontab in ubuntu [11:08] iceroot: installing from cd, how do i avoid this? [11:08] everyrainyday: ask [11:08] hello world. is there a way to reinstall the OS over the exising one, like the recover install in Windows? I may have missed any previous response as I had to leave the room. [11:08] !ask | everyrainyday [11:08] everyrainyday: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [11:08] angelete2: why you want fakeraid? what about software-raid? [11:08] library: sure it is [11:08] library: yeah, backup your "home" and that contains most of your user data [11:08] iceroot: maybe performance? [11:08] library: If you want your home directories stay the same and other stuffs be re-done . I would suggest you take a backup of /var/cache/apt/archives and /home and do a re-installation if htat matters. [11:08] Any idea how to connect a Sumsung cellular phone to an Ubuntu box and extract the contact list? [11:08] angelete2: lol [11:08] can you help me guys? I've been trying to add a PAS printer to no avail [11:08] aaaa [11:08] I've tried smb://server/printer but that gives me printer-state-message="Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)" [11:09] any help, so? [11:09] hareldvd: not likely to work unless it's bluetooth, and unlocked [11:09] angelete2: fakeraid is a software-raid, only using the cpu but with disadvantages aganainst a real software-raid [11:09] cant open windows network,samba is installed though.ny1?? [11:09] guys : i have installed tspc before and tspc.conf wont created :\ ive tried re-install and install but the result comes to zero , every help would be appreciated [11:09] ok.i want to dosplay a message every 2 min i wanna do it with crontab i right */2 * * * * zenity --warning --text "coo coo" [11:09] angelete2: or is it a real hardware-raid? if so, there is no special task in ubuntu to do [11:10] everyrainyday: failbound. [11:10] i wright it this way [11:10] everyrainyday: cron jobs are non-interactive [11:10] i wrote crontab -e [11:10] thanks iego: and obs3rv3r: that covers data. Is it possibel to backup apps and configs too? or would i need to go and reinstall everthing? [11:10] iceroot: it's a real hardware-raid, i've created it on bios setup. Now when i try to install ubuntu i can view 4 disk instead of one only device [11:10] (sorry for my english) [11:11] angelete2: if you can see 4 disks, its not hardware-raid [11:11] linguy: yes [11:11] library: apps are installed or not installed based on their status in a database for dpkg configuration [11:11] library: * [11:11] library: so.... you'd want the "selections" status of all those apps [11:11] angelete2: hardware-raid is transparent to the os, so the os is only seeing one array [11:11] i just installed 10.10 and i wanna have the regular adress bar and not the stupid buttons in nautilus, how do i change that? [11:11] If I have a package under gnome(ubuntu) like EVINCE. How can I find out what dependencies it has? This is nowhere written and a huge issue for many packages. There is also never to know how the package are called in the ubuntu repo that contain our needed dependency.... [11:11] i even try in root [11:11] angelete2: fakeraid is raid using an onboard controller but only doing it with software-raid [11:11] library: I forgot the exact command but "dpkg --get-selections *" might be close? [11:11] When I want to compile evince, I get errors after errors adding one more dependency after another. This is plain stupid: One should know the dependencies in advance [11:12] AFAIK, fakeraid is using the controller on board but drivers from the OS. So its sort of 50/50 [11:12] Technically! [11:12] angelete2: real hardware-raid is not using the cpu, transparent to the os and the controller costs ~180€ [11:12] ok, so http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s875wp1-e/sb/cs-007224.htm means that this board can suppport fakeraid, doesn't it? [11:12] please help me with crontab [11:13] what the problems ? [11:13] angelete2: going by the image there doesn't seem to be a controller ... so yea it has to be fakeraid. [11:13] angelete2: google is telling that it is fakeraid [11:13] Who can help me to subnet my network ? [11:14] guys : please help me, i have installed tspc before and tspc.conf wont created its contain 0 byte :\ ive tried re-install and install but the result comes to zero , every help would be appreciated [11:14] barberan: Wow sounds like a job offer :P [11:14] is it a wrong code for a cron job ? :*/2 * * * * zenity --warning --txt"hello" [11:14] angelete2: so dont use that cr*p controller, build a software-raid by your own [11:14] everyrainyday: maybe try creating a script for zenity and running that through crontab [11:14] obs3rv3r: Can you? [11:14] everyrainyday: use absolut paths [11:14] obs3rv3r and iceroot: thank you for your help, i didn't know what was fakeraid before now [11:15] iceroot: But one thing I generally get confused of. If cron, or run leve starting scripts are started as root. Won't the use the root's path ? [11:15] dcyber09: if PATH is in the cron-file, yes [11:15] obs3rv3r: if PATH is in the cron-file, yes [11:15] it doesn't work i save the code in a txt file and ....IT STILL AIN't work [11:15] dcyber09: sorry wrong nick [11:16] :) [11:16] np :) [11:16] iceroot: cool tks. Similar for run level starting scripts too ? [11:16] everyrainyday: have you run the zenity command from the command-line? [11:16] iceroot: can you help me? [11:17] iego: with? [11:17] yes it works instantly [11:17] iceroot: I've been trying to add a PAS printer to no avail [11:17] iceroot: I've tried smb://server/printer but that gives me printer-state-message="Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)" [11:17] iego: hm sorry, dont know [11:17] iceroot: and #cups is dead [11:17] everyrainyday: my system says --txt is not an option. try it without this parameter [11:18] Is this the ubuntu IRC? [11:18] text [11:18] not txt [11:18] Dacari13: yes [11:18] no Xubuntu 10.10 ? [11:18] Who can help me to subnet my network ? [11:18] please can some1 verfy: if you listen to music on gnome (or any other gui) and then change to a tty (ctrl-alt-f#) where you are not logged in, the sound stops, unless you log in at that tty too. [11:18] I need help with my 10.10 installation. The video plays too fast. [11:18] everyrainyday: you've typed 'txt' above in your crontab output [11:18] sorry [11:18] my bad [11:19] so? [11:19] barberan, what exactly do you plan to do? [11:19] Benkinooby: interesting feature [11:19] oh saw it [11:19] lucent, does it happen to you too? [11:19] could someone please help me troubleshoot a bug? it's really getting to the point where i'm about to give up on ubuntu... [11:19] Benkinooby: never bothered to try that to be sure, which program is your media player? [11:19] eaerth, what's the matter? [11:20] Who knows how to fix video playing back too fast? [11:20] at me too :((( [11:20] lucent, doesn't matter. may sound. so does it happen to you too? i think it seems to be some kind of permission thing. [11:20] Benkinooby: I have to subnet my 10.0.0.0 into 870 subnets. I need the subnetmask [11:20] Benkinooby: alright... basically, any time i go to move a window or am doing something within a window (most prominently moving it or resizing) my screen goes black and i can't get out of it. [11:21] hey [11:21] everyrainyday: sorry ;[ [11:21] after an upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, my screen can not be autodetected [11:21] eaerth, have you tried different gui like kde, fluxbox, lxde and stuff? [11:21] which leads to a resolution of 800x600 [11:21] quite annoying... [11:21] who can help me add a PAS Canon printer? [11:21] does someone know what the problem could be ? [11:21] just reconfigure your xserver [11:21] Benkinooby: it does matter, if I am going to try to reproduce the issue locally ;) [11:22] eaerth, and how any computers per subnet? [11:22] any crontab expert!!! here???? [11:22] everyrainyday: why don't you just ask the qestion [11:22] question [11:22] No one can help me fix the video issue? Please. [11:22] what the problem with your crontab [11:22] Help please. I have to subnet my 10.0.0.0 into 870 subnets. I need the subnetmask number. [11:22] i already did [11:22] if nvidia graphics card - install nvidia kernel driver from their website [11:22] lucent, ok. atm i use vlc, but any other player will have the same effect (gnomeplayer, rhytmbox) [11:22] everyrainyday: look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1077195#post1077195 [11:22] thx [11:23] Benkinooby: ah, i only have one computer going on... i'd rather just fix it instead of changing things. gui i use is still gnome and i'm just soooo flustered with meerkat that i can't even begin to explain. [11:23] No one knows? [11:23] everyrainyday: what is the problem [11:23] barberan, how many computers per subnet? [11:23] everyrainyday: crontab is non interactive so it's not a simple as just running the zenity command [11:23] i'm experiencing at least three bugs that are irritating... and i had no problems at all in lucid ;\ [11:23] Benkinooby: ran vlc to playback a flac file, switched to VC2, playback not interrupted [11:23] exit [11:24] Benkinooby: Use maximum what we can do from 10.0.0.0 and 870 subnets. [11:24] Someone knows how to fix video playing too fast? Please help me. [11:24] barberan, so all should eb equal of size? [11:24] Benkinooby: yeah [11:25] Please help me with my video issue? Video plays back too fast.

Does this happen with all formats? What player? [11:25] eaerth, i really would ask you to isnstall fluxbox, then choose it at gdm as you gui just to see waht happens. if you purge it later, it will be exaclty the same it was before [11:25] hi there people i just needed a lil help with regular expression [11:25] JEEBsv it happens in all browsers and sites. [11:25] > browsers and sites [11:25] what [11:25] Jordan_U have only tried browsers. [11:26] eaerth, don't know. but it is important to find out if it is a gnome thing or a x or driver thing [11:26] mursalat: shoot [11:26] Benkinooby: ugh... alright, i'll look it up and see what happens. will you be available for a bit so i can let you know how it goes? [11:26] can u help??? [11:26] everyrainyday: with what [11:26] why? [11:26] Benkinooby: well have you heard of gallium? or something of that sort. [11:26] eaerth, yes. best thing you do is 'sudo aptitude install fluxbox' [11:26] everyrainyday: if you explain the problem, I'll certainly try [11:26] everyrainyday: crontab -l user? [11:26] JEEBsv: it happens in internet browsers. [11:27] i want to look for urls like this in a page /download_file.php?token_a=i4jit034iou&token_b=398j4ijs [11:27] Benkinooby: thanks, man. i'll be back shortly. [11:27] eaerth, sound like an element to me [11:27] Jordan_U: video plays back too fast in internet browsers. [11:27] greetings cannot login to hotmail:messenger using empathy what any update happend to the server or port? [11:27] and then change the values of token_a and token_b into a different updated value using regex [11:27] barberan, use 10.0.0.0/22 [11:27] barberan, oh, sorry wait [11:28] Dacari13: Yes, I do get that... but does it happen with your own content or what and does it happen with players' own playback engine or some VLC plugin or what? [11:28] mursalat: ouch...are you going to use perl? [11:28] s/players'/browsers'/ [11:28] feizhou : no php [11:28] Benkinooby: hahaha, it's a driver upgrade of some sort. a buddy of mine recommended it and i didn't have this problem before that i'm almost certain... but whatever we did it got my opengl to work great so that's why i was hoping not to revert my drivers back to out of the box maverick. [11:28] i just cant get regex in my head [11:28] JEEBsv: It happens with online content. [11:28] Benkinooby: it has to be /18 :) [11:28] Benkinooby: I suppose that it's /22 actually, yes... [11:28] mursalat: i mean, are you goign to use perl to swap the stuff out in the php files? [11:29] crontab -l is a command for listing cron jobs right???yeah my cronjob is listed there [11:29] Dacari13: You might want to re-read my sentence [11:29] but doesn't execute [11:29] everyrainyday: what is the problem [11:29] eaerth, hm, then you have to remove that driver [11:29] no [11:29] everyrainyday: pastebin your crontab then [11:29] its a php file [11:29] Benkinooby: like cairo-dock and compiz work flawlessly and the dock doesn't flicker or anything like it used to. flawlessly other than the black screen shit. which like... everything else is still running, i noticed that when my music stayed playing. [11:29] JEEBsv: I still don't get what you want me to do. [11:29] What is playing it back? Some players have internal playback infrastructure. You might be using some plugin to play it back, or Flash [11:29] what i want to do is that as soon as the page is finished output [11:29] do what? [11:30] i want to change these urls in the output buffer [11:30] i don't get what u mean? [11:30] eaerth, sorry bot i am not a driver pro, i can't help you any further :( maybe you check out irc more related to that topic [11:30] Dacari13: Try running "totem /usr/share/example-content/Ubuntu_Free_Culture_Showcase/Josh\ Woodward\ -\ Swansong.ogg" [11:30] JEEBsv I have nonfree flash installed. [11:30] everyrainyday: you are trying to run a gui program from crontab. crontab is non interactive. you need to put EXPORT display:0 before your command [11:30] what's that blasted bot's name? [11:30] Benkinooby: thanks, man. any recommendations? [11:30] someone feed it pastebin please [11:30] !pastebin > feizhou [11:30] feizhou, please see my private message [11:30] Jordan_U: from terminal right? [11:30] Dacari13: Yes.

[11:31] ikonia: thanks [11:31] eaerth, hmmm... opengl or some thing like that... no idea, sorry. maybe a driver pro is around here ? [11:31] Dacari13: But is it playing it or what? And what on earth is "online content"? You do understand that you're not exactly giving out information here ;) [11:31] Jordan_U: I get and error. [11:31] Benkinooby: it's all good man, thanks for the effort in any case. :) [11:31] eaerth: you can always try ubuntu-offtopic and see if they will entertain you [11:31] Benkinooby: it's more than i've gotten lately... [11:31] Dacari13: What error? [11:31] pa_stream_writable_size()faield:Connection Terminated [11:32] feizhou: hey, that's a nice idea too, thanks. [11:32] feizhou: get me? i want to change urls in a php file, by doing a regex replace in the output buffer then outputting it [11:32] Dacari13: That's odd. [11:32] feizhou: got me? [11:32] eaerth, hm... sorry that i couldn help you further but this is far beyond my experience and knwoledge [11:32] Jordan_U: It's frustrating. [11:32] also - has anyone had any luck with the whole modprobe fatal thing at boot? [11:33] I've tried fixes for like 3 hours. [11:33] Benkinooby: ah, it's no problem at all man, i appreciate it no less. :) [11:33] mursalat: urls are fed to your php file and you have to return a different url? [11:33] Zeus:could u explain alittle about EXPORT [11:33] eaerth, try to use fluxbox, i don't think it uses 3d effects. would be interesting to know. what you can do is to check your dmesg [11:33] Jordan_U: I might just go get linux mint again... [11:33] i dont know what u mean [11:33] Dacari13: Try running "firefox /usr/share/example-content/Ubuntu_Free_Culture_Showcase/Josh\ Woodward\ -\ Swansong.ogg" [11:33] everyrainyday: the link I gave you shows you how to do it... [11:33] everyrainyday: explain the problem you are having with crontab [11:33] dmesg? [11:34] !dmesg [11:34] dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in Linux. Often when something errors with hardware it will result in additional lines reported which can be seen by running dmesg in a console. [11:34] haha thanks! [11:34] ahan right..thx i'm going to read it [11:34] Jordan_U: Nothing happened. [11:34] barberan, i am not all that sure about my answer, because the /22 says that you can have 1022 host in the subnet, but i am not sure how to calculate how many subnet you can have from it [11:34] ikonia: everyrainyday is trying to run a gui program from crontab [11:34] Benkinooby: oh - was dmesg referring to the modprobe bug? [11:34] Dacari13: A new firefox window didn't open? [11:34] are there any software repositories that aren't provided by the installation, that have some good selections ?

[11:35] barberan, http://www.ehow.com/how_5318710_calculate-number-subnets.html [11:35] there's a topic on launchpad about it with over 100 people having the issue but so far there's nothing to fix it other than make it look like it's gone - otherwise the timing is still the same as if it was there... takes like fifteen-twenty seconds to boot. [11:35] brrr...can't take this...getting off [11:35] Hi, someone with mysql upgrade problem? [11:36] Descra: what's up [11:36] everyrainyday: echo "hello" where ? [11:36] Dacari13: Try asking in #pulseaudio, with that specific error. Though I'm not sure that the two problems are related. [11:36] hi [11:36] are there any software repositories that aren't provided by the installation, that have some good selections ? [11:36] ikonia: it doesnt start [11:36] Descra: can you expand on that, [11:36] but yeah, i'm gonna check out off topic and maybe a few more channels - take care guys! and thanks a lot. [11:36] ikonia: no log no echo nothing [11:36] eaerth, ? no idea, but sometimes it helps to have a look at it to circle down the problem. but if you are sure it is a driver thing, i am not sure where to look for a soulution :( [11:36] Descra: what have you upgraded from and two [11:36] to [11:36] Jordan_U: Thanks. I'll just un-install Ubuntu and go back to Linux Mint, it worked right after install! [11:37] Sterist: like medibuntu? [11:37] ikonia: /etc/init.d/mysql start does nothing, automatic upgrade [11:37] ikonia: Flash videos play too fast, and neither totem nor firefox (playing an ogg file directly, not with flash) can seem to play anything at all, giving the pulseaudio error mentioned above. [11:37] Descra: using sudo yes ? [11:37] Benkinooby: these are two unrelated bugs... the modprobe fatal thing was happening as soon as i fresh installed maverick. take care, man. ;) [11:37] ikonia:not [11:37] everyrainyday: have you tried putting EXPORT display:0 before your crontab command? [11:37] nothingspecial no idea, what type of software does that repository have ? [11:37] Jordan_U: what ? [11:37] Descra: why are you not using sudo ? [11:37] ikonia: no, i say that i used sudo [11:37] ikonia: I was giving a quick recap of Dacari13's problem(s). [11:37] Descra: this is 10.10 [11:37] Sterist: packages with extra codecs enabled such as ffmpeg etc [11:38] Jordan_U: I've not asked about Dacari13's problems did ? [11:38] Jordan_U: I was asking on Descra [11:38] ikonia: Sorry, misread the nick. [11:38] Jordan_U: I had to check too [11:38] ikonia: 10.10? [11:38] ikonia: +w do you mean? [11:38] barberan, can we go to a private chat so we don't folld? [11:38] Descra: He means maverick I think. [11:38] flood? [11:38] nothingspecial oooh that's one thing i've been looking for lol... doesn't that include .3gp support? (cellphone video) [11:38] Descra: ok - so "sudo service mysql start" [11:39] Benkinooby: ofc [11:39] Sterist: http://packages.medibuntu.org/maverick/index.html [11:39] * Dacari13 is deleting Ubuntu and going back to Linux Minth...it works! [11:39] Dacari13: ok, [11:39] * Dacari13 thanks for the help anyway. [11:39] bye [11:40] ikonia: doesnt work, it says nothing [11:40] i interrupted a apt-get dist-upgrade by accident which was doing a kernel upgrade [11:40] Descra: does it return to the command prompt or just hang [11:40] i cannot run dpkg -a --configure [11:40] and the system has become read-only [11:40] anyway to fix without a reboot? [11:40] ikonia: it return to the command prompt [11:40] tekk: need to reboot [11:40] no other way? [11:40] tekk: no [11:40] Descra: sudo service mysql status [11:41] Descra: sudo mysqld ? [11:41] will the machine definately come back online? evne though i interrupted a apt-get dist-upgrade which was upgrading a kernel? [11:41] ikonia: sudo service mysql status -> says nothing [11:41] hi guys, i just added more ram to a box so it has 6G. The kernel is 2.6.24-28 with 64G option enabled, 4G disabled. dmesg shows Memory: 5441520k/6291456k available (2261k kernel code, 61320k reserved, 1042k data, 384k init, 4586624k highmem) [11:42] why is it showing 500M less ram? [11:42] Descra: try sudo mysqld and see if the service runs at all ? [11:42] it says "5248MB HIGHMEM available." "896MB LOWMEM available." which is about right. [11:42] but free and top also show only 5.5G [11:42] obs3rv3r: /usr/bin? [11:42] it's a 32-bit kernel [11:42] Descra: for sure...but I guess its in ur path. [11:42] nothingspecial do you know of any other useful repositories? [11:42] hi! i have a lenovo b460 with ubuntu 10.10. the sound does not work, but does so with 9.04 (live session). any suggestions would be welcome. [11:42] goudkov: see /var/log/kern.log [11:42] hello [11:42] do the math, should add up like you want [11:42] Which is the ideal kernel-image to be installed in a ESX virtual machine that you want to install ubuntu? [11:43] ikonia, my rbeoot is safe yeah? [11:43] hi nice to meet you [11:43] lucent: any idea which keywords to search for in that log? [11:43] lucent: oh, it's a copy of dmesg. Memory: 5441520k/6291456k -- that seems weird [11:43] Sterist: A lot of packages have their own repositories with more upto date versions [11:44] when the box had 3G, dmesg was showing "Memory: 3106872k/3144832k" [11:44] should I use "expect fork" in my Upstart script if I run su foouser -c "command_that_doesnt_fork"? I mean, does su [...] fork? [11:44] with the kernel,reserved, etc. all adding up [11:44] but now, the difference is 500M [11:45] iceroot: another question about raid, i want to configure raid5 for my partitions, do i set 4 partitions as active for any raid device or should i set 3 active and 1 free? [11:45] nothingspecial yeah that makes sense. hey, i put that URL into the software sources input box but the "Add Source" button remains grey'd out [11:45] angelete2: No don't do RAID 5 :) [11:45] why? [11:45] better 0+1 = [11:45] ? [11:45] should I go with the x32 or x64 bit version of Ubuntu 10.10 I mean my laptop uses an AMD Athlon Dual Core Processor and I have 4 GB's of ram [11:45] angelete2: 1+0 [11:45] Scarra3: go with x64 [11:46] Sterist: sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update === zz_slidinghorn is now known as slidinghorn [11:46] whyt 1+0 instead of 0+1 ?

[11:46] tasslehoff: 10.04+ don't have it by default...you can create one on your own though if neede [11:46] needed* (sp) [11:47] 0+1 has two stripped sets [11:47] nothingspecial does that add the repository to the Ubuntu Software Center ? [11:47] raid 1+0 has mirrored sets stripped [11:47] slidinghorn: by 10.04+ you mean starting with 10.10? [11:47] Sterist: Yes [11:47] nothingspecial awesome :) thank you [11:47] tasslehoff: 10.04 doesn't have one either [11:48] slidinghorn: hm. I had one there. wonder why.. [11:48] angelete2: you can have more disk crashes and still survive with 1+0 [11:48] tasslehoff: maybe it carried over from a previous version? [11:49] slidinghorn: no, it was a fresh 10.04. I believe it came because I needed to set Virtual Resolution to get dualscreen. [11:49] Descra: sorry was away for a moment [11:49] obs3rv3r: ok, thanks [11:49] Which is the ideal kernel-image to be installed in a ESX virtual machine that you want to install ubuntu server?

It should be supported in ubuntu 10.04. How do i install it? [11:50] slidinghorn: correct. it did the same thing just now :) [11:50] !webcam > Diverdude [11:50] Diverdude, please see my private message [11:50] angelete2: and always go with a hardware raid as far as possible.

[13:20] Oh [13:20] So [13:20] Pici, by the way, do I need to reload/relog for crontab changes to take effect? [13:20] Roadcrosser: please stop doing .... I've made it clear to you [13:20] glaucous: Using crontab -e should do that automatically. [13:20] Should I be asking how to obtain the package? I seriously am confused. [13:20] LIST_I: looks like there is a little bit of corruption [13:20] Pici, okay, good [13:21] Roadcrosser: look into upgrading to the current version of ubuntu first. [13:21] Roadcrosser: if you had root access.. we have given you the exact command to use. [13:21] Roadcrosser: you should be asking no questions about your VPS install in this channel [13:21] glaucous: After you exit crontab -e it should say something like 'installing new crontab' or something similar. [13:21] I have root access [13:21] Dr_Willis: we wouldn't - the VPS is not supported [13:21] Roadcrosser: I will not aks you again - stop discussing it [13:21] ikonia: Hmm, alright, any Idea what I should do about it? As I said, It has some very important data on there. I can transfer about half of it onto my laptop, if it's that bad. [13:21] Pici, yup, its working [13:21] ikonia: It happens mostly when I'm halfway playing a song. [13:21] I think.. [13:21] Doesn't matter which song. [13:21] Hmm [13:21] LIST_I: in honestly, I'm not sure how envyption/filesystem consistance marry up [13:22] I guess you don't support ubuntu from using SSH? [13:22] Roadcrosser: enough, if you ask again you will be removed from the channel [13:22] nvnv [13:22] Sorry, just confused [13:22] ikonia: Where should I ask? [13:22] I am not familiar with Ubuntu at all [13:22] Roadcrosser: we cant support every VPS's variant on ubuntu. You need to learn how to use the pacakge manager system from teh command line. [13:22] ... [13:22] Roadcrosser: let me clarify, it's nothing to do with ssh - your ubuntu install is a custom install made by your VPS vendor, contact them for support [13:22] Roadcrosser: STOP doing .... [13:23] VPSes has variants? [13:23] Roadcrosser: Your VPS provider appears to have made significant changes to the way that Ubuntu is typcially used. You should contact them for instructions. [13:23] Oh [13:23] I see [13:23] Thanks for clearing this up [13:23] ikonia: He can't contact them for support. It's un-managed, or so I hear. [13:23] LIST_I: I didn't say you [13:23] How do you even pay for 'unmanaged' stuff like that ? [13:23] I'd send a general query... [13:23] ikonia: I know. I'm just sayin'. [13:23] LIST_I: can you unencypt the partition without mounting it ? [13:24] ikonia: No, definitely not; I have to use truecrypt to mount it, and it decrypts it. [13:24] LIST_I: I'm not sure how you can run a consitancy check on it while it's mounted, but I don't think a consistancy check will work whiles is encrypted [13:25] ikonia: Oh? [13:25] better off using dm-crypt me thinks [13:25] cast: yes, thats more device than file system encryption [13:25] cast: I'm not sure. [13:25] logout [13:25] been looking on launchpad for a bug which I'm experiencing after an update on an older computer, apt updates to a certain point then tries to find the 2.6.32.24 linux image , then tries to update grub , denerating grub.cfg and stlls there . It prevents anything else from being updated or installed because it locks dpkg ...Ive done the unlock command but the next update just begins this vicious cycle over again. [13:26] ikonia: if its into the same box as truecrypt [13:26] Well I'll be going off [13:26] Bye [13:26] !askubuntu [13:26] AskUbuntu is a support resource that offers non-realtime support by the community! Can't get your problem fixed on IRC? Try AskUbuntu! - http://askubuntu.com/ You can discuss AskUbuntu in #ubuntu-stack [13:26] ikonia: Thanks for the help; so I should simply encrypt it with something different? [13:27] LIST_I: well, for me personally device encyption is better as it's not dependant on the file system, but I'm not well up on other encyption techniques [13:27] wwwwweeeeeee [13:27] ikonia: Well, yeah, probably. Do you think this will fail at all? [13:27] ikonia: Or is something small? [13:28] LIST_I: looks like just a journal out of sync, nothing major [13:28] (from the error out put you gave m e) [13:28] How can I set polish font in terminal outside of X? [13:28] ikonia: Okay, cheers for the help mate. [13:28] :-[ [13:29] Is there any way to re-add support for gpus that ATI stopped providing drivers for?

Do I have to give a user privileges or something. [13:29] sijeruk: please stop with the random input [13:29] thedittmer: ftp localhost on the server [13:29] thedittmer: that will test it [13:29] ikonia: i believe you can use truecrypt with arbitrary file systems [13:29] cast: I'm not up on it, so I'll take your word on it [13:30] the key benefit of dmcrypt is it's in the kernel :) [13:30] ikonia: I got this back "usage: ftp host-name [port]" [13:30] and one can read such volumes under windows if need be with freeotfe [13:30] thedittmer: ftp localhost [13:30] thedittmer: that's all you need [13:31] root@prod2:~# ftp localhost [13:31] Connected to localhost.

[13:32] digitalfiz: no [13:32] digitalfiz: oops, sorry not you [13:32] Diverdude: no [13:32] ikonia, why does it then say recommended on the download page for 64 bit? [13:33] for some reason, my df output is not updated. any thoughts why? [13:33] ikonia, it makes no sense to recommend that for people who has only 32 bit machones [13:33] Diverdude: because it is if you have a 64bit machine [13:33] ikonia: I don't understand. I've been up all night trying to get lamp installed. I though I had FTP installed this whole time, but where do I get the user and pass information to type in my FTP client. Do I just use my ip for the FTP address? I'm new to running my own server. [13:33] Diverdude: common sense says, if you have a 32bit machine it won't work [13:33] Hello [13:33] thedittmer: use the IP address to connect remotly, and the username/password is the username password you setup when you installed the server [13:35] i try to add @reboot in the beginnig of my cron job but it doesn't work what's wrong?

When I put in the exact same info I use to long into SSH it says "login incorrect" [13:36] I can't install stuff. most installations have these install.sh files that i can't execute [13:36] thedittmer: the root account should be locked [13:36] ikonia: eh, crontab, @reboot has special meaning [13:36] @reboot export DISPLAY=:0 && zenity --warning --text "hello" [13:36] shouldn't it work? [13:37] everyrainyday: seems unlikely. [13:37] it works already without @reboot [13:37] ikonia: is there a tutorial that walk you through setting up ftp on an off site server? I can't find a good one.

I'm not a huge gamer, but looking for something that "would" be capable, but definately capable easily playing 1080p video. [14:03] hello [14:03] How do you remove a package marked as half-configured? [14:03] An Nvidia Chaip after the 8000 Series can play 1080p just fine [14:03] apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev reports corrupted packages but apt-get install -f does nothing (it's OK). How to repair broken package base? [14:04] The Magic Word is VDPAU [14:04] greppy: i'm not sure what the -vvv debug is telling me now [14:04] When creating a crontab job of the current user, will the command be executed by that user as well? Or a special crontab user? [14:04] the GTS 250 series are reasonably priced - cool. === IWorld is now known as IWordl [14:05] Nevstah: dump the output into a pastebin [14:05] glaucous: the user the crontab belongs to [14:05] !paste [14:05] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [14:05] ubuntu doesn't have ap shortcuts? i have loads of programs that i don't know how to easily launch [14:05] llutz, okay === IWordl is now known as IWorld [14:06] where is like the folder aps typically install to? [14:06] glaucous: but it runs in a limited environment, so better use full pathes when calling apps/files etc. [14:06] sukima, dpkg --configure packagename, then remove it [14:06] anyone knows? [14:07] how to make nautilus lite? [14:07] pylix, not all files are installed in one place... but /usr/local [14:07] greppy: http://pastebin.com/nvY09Pzn [14:07] Dink: Thanks I'll try that [14:07] can anyone help me add a Canon printer on a PAS system [14:08] ? [14:08] how to make nautilus lite? [14:08] suigeneris: do Canon have the drivers on their site [14:08] deensokmo: nautilus is huge. I suggest you use pcmanfm, its way lighter and way faster [14:08] llutz, because I have a script which uses cpufreq-selector to set the processor speed/power-save-state. This works great when executing it normally. But it doesn't seem to work with crontab. The script itself works in crontab, since the log is written. [14:09] Yupieeeeee..!! Upgrade Successfull :) [14:09] Nevstah: did you copy the .pub file to the remote .ssh/authorized_keys2 ? [14:09] greppy: yes [14:09] already try pcmanfm.. but i dont know to sharing setting [14:10] glaucous, pastebin your script [14:10] pcmanfm very fast.. [14:10] Hey guys where in Software Sources in Maverick?? [14:11] adobe ilustrator can install on ubuntu? [14:11] deensokmo: sure, its default in lxde too. On low end systems (or for people who dislike bloat) pcmanfm is great. It doesn't have all the featues in nautilus but for everyday stuff I can't fault it [14:11] deensokmo: you can try to run it w/ wine. for more info type /msg ubottu !wine [14:11] deensokmo: check the appdb [14:11] !appdb | deensokmo [14:11] deensokmo: 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 [14:12] appdb.. same Ilustrator? or u mean what [14:12] Dink, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/518042/ [14:12] deensokmo: no it will show you if it will run in wine [14:12] Hey guys I can't find System > Administration > Software Sources after upgrading to maverick [14:13] deensokmo: if not you will need an equiv [14:13] Krishnandu: its part of software centre [14:13] ohh..sory miss understand..thnaks [14:13] deensokmo, AppDB is a database of all supported and know to work hardware under Wine (windows emulator)... if you can live without Illustrator I suggest taking a look at Inkscape [14:13] ActionParsnip, Okies :) Checking it out :) [14:13] software* [14:14] Inkscape.. can make flash? [14:14] Dink, I just have to walk the dog. I'll be back soon. (I'll stay in the IRC). [14:14] Krishnandu: if you are adding a ppa then you can use: sudo add-apt-repository ppalink [14:15] deensokmo: if the flash package needed run, then yes. Sdaly adobe refuse to make a linux app nor open the standard so it can be made by the community [14:15] ActionParsnip, No I just want to turn on the disabled sources while upgrading to maverick [14:15] deensokmo, to my knowledge only few tools can make flash... and those are programmer oriented... [14:16] Krishnandu: fair point [14:16] :) [14:16] ActionParsnip I think so, and when I add the printer with smb:// (it's a network printer) I get printer-state-message="Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)" but when I add with socket:// it could bypass the PAS [14:17] suigeneris: is there any security on the device? [14:17] is repo http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages correct? I mean trailing "i386 Packages" [14:17] suigeneris: did you use the add printer icon in administration? [14:18] ActionParsnip the printer? yes, it works with username/password [14:18] actionparsnip: Ok..thanks.. to night i want to try Inskcape [14:18] glaucous, " glaucous: but it runs in a limited environment, so better use full pathes when calling apps/files etc." [14:18] ActionParsnip I first used cups web ui then add printer icon [14:18] How do you manually remove a package from the package manager so It no longer bitches that package failed. (I rm -rf the installed files) [14:18] ryrych: it'll be. Http://stuff/ubuntu maverick main [14:19] Sikuma: try using ubuntu tweak or ailurus.. [14:19] suigeneris: then you need to specify the account someplace [14:19] * Krishnandu thinks according to looks Lucid was far better than Maverick :) [14:19] ActionParsnip: it's weird but I get the error about this repo but can't see it's being hardcoded in sources.list :( [14:19] i'm using ubuntu 10.04, where is vdccm? [14:21] Hey guys, anyone familiar with mathlab or octave? If yes, how do I generate a this polynomial -> (x + 1)(x + 2), sorry if this is offtopic. [14:21] i heard that modifying a certain file makes something check in a directory you specify for the .server files for the panel. where is that file? [14:21] ryrych: add it if you wish [14:21] how do I run an application from terminal as if I am in desktop session? [14:22] tonysan, what do you mean? [14:22] tonysan: which application you want to run, and which OS and which desktop environment you using? [14:23] tonysan: if you run: alacarte ,you can see the command and can even copy/paste it to the terminal === vincent is now known as Guest20738 [14:23] Exploiter: the OS will be linux ;) [14:23] i'm using ubuntu 10.04, where is vdccm please, and why is it hidden? [14:23] i know its there because im using it.. [14:23] I have a stupid question...how do I type special characters? I don't understand the "U+00E9" thing [14:24] Ward|: can you define "hidden" please [14:24] i am new django how would i learn and where that templates could i learn [14:24] ActionParsnip I just specified username/password, it still gives that error [14:24] ActionParsnip, i cannot find it in the repositories [14:24] ActionParsnip, i installed it liek a week ago, but i dont remember what pakcage it was in [14:24] Can someone help with my dist upgrade? [14:24] ActionParsnip, searching apt didnt help [14:24] ravi, try #django [14:25] ravi_, try #django [14:25] Ward|: then you can use: dpkg -S vdccm ,and it will tell you [14:25] !find vdccm | Ward| [14:25] Ward|: File vdccm found in openvas-plugins-dfsg [14:25] ActionParsnip, llutz thanks [14:26] ActionParsnip, that reports vdccm is not found [14:26] Ward|: or if you haven't ran: sudo apt-get clean ,you can look at the debs in /var/carche/apt/archive [14:26] llutz, that package does not contain vdccm [14:26] ActionParsnip, ok thanks i will take a look [14:26] My upgrade to 10.10 has frozen can nayone advise? [14:26] !upgrade | lolwhites_ [14:26] lolwhites_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [14:26] slidinghorn, you don't type it... they are assigned to keys... what you posted there is a one of many representations of some unicode character [14:27] how do i remove items from the application menu ? [14:27] Good afternoon! [14:27] DragonKeeper, System -> Preferences -> Main Menu [14:27] ActionParsnip: OK, but apt-get install fetches packages from this repo. I'd like to remove this entry but it's nowhere hardcoded [14:27] After manually rm the install directories how do you tell dpkg that the package is no longer there? [14:28] cd part [14:28] My upgrade has frozen at "unpacking replacement libnih-dbus1" is this normal? [14:28] MeanEYE TY :) [14:28] DragonKeeper, np :D [14:28] HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY! [14:29] aegis, THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME! [14:29] I have some settings in ~/.Xdefaults but they are not loaded when I log in according to xrdb -query, I have to do xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults. How do I get it loaded automatically? [14:30] How at you weather? [14:30] BILLY MAYS DAY? (sorry) [14:30] im trying to improve my desktops performance. what things can i do? [14:30] hi, i am having problem with dictionary look up. the message printed is: Connection timeout for the dictionary server at 'dict.org:2628'. Few days earlier it was working ok. could any one please help? [14:31] pffff still cant find ythis retarded package [14:31] synce-trayicon needs it.... [14:31] resno: buy new hardware [14:32] aegis: ok, thanks for the helpfulness. [14:32] YES, IT'S BILLY MAYS DAY TO [14:32] O [14:33] resno: what kinds of performance issues are you having? what are your specs? what version & flavor of *buntu are you running? [14:33] in ubuntu's network manager applet, is there any way I can allow (for DSL/PPPoE) for automatic IP, but manual gateway address? if not, how would I go about doing that? [14:34] hi [14:34] i have problem with sudoers. my sudoers is: testsudo ALL=(bartos)NOPASSWD: /home/bartos/bin/SUNWappserver/bin/asadmin * . Jowever when i try to execuyte this command as testsudo user i got error Sorry, user testsudo is not allowed to execute '/home/bartos/bin/SUNWappserver/bin/asadmin start-domain webapps' as root [14:34] slidinghorn: i have an ide open for development. and a browser. p4, something or other and im running ubuntu 10.04 [14:34] MeanEYE ok lol how do i add the menu folder back for the same app [14:35] DragonKeeper, what did you do? [14:35] Ward|, looks like vdccm was last in Ubuntu in Hardy [14:35] resno: RAM? cpu? [14:35] so you'd have to build it from source [14:35] pionar, well im using it now so its still in there [14:35] Trying to upgrade and it's been stuck on "unpacking replacement libnih-dbus1" for 40 minutes, can't stop without breaking the system what do I do? [14:35] uninstalled wine then deleted the folders fore it and the menu folder then i installed wine again and want to add the folder back in | MeanEYE [14:36] DragonKeeper: You mean for the wine apps you installed? [14:36] hm, let me check [14:36] yes [14:36] DragonKeeper, wine holds his shit somewhere... [14:36] !langue | MeanEYE [14:36] DragonKeeper: There wasent really a need to remove them.. wine had them in your users home. Not sure of a neasy way to restore those. other then reinstall the wine apps. [14:37] resno, sorry :D slipped away [14:37] i purged the lot reinstalling everything but no longer appearing in my applications menu [14:37] Connection timeout for the dictionary server at 'dict.org:2628' my dictionary look up says. any help please? [14:38] how can i use tcpdump to monitor traffic on a particular port coming from a particular IP address? [14:38] slidinghorn: this is a fairly underpower machine. so its a highly up hill battle i agree. its a p4. with 512 mb of ram [14:38] In case anyone was interested to remove a package from apt-get if you manualy edited/corrupted the installed files is to edit /var/lib/dpkg/status and remove the package entry [14:38] That worked === MattLinux is now known as MattLinux|Work [14:39] resno: that's not much -- You can try a more lightweight window manager or desktop environment...lxde is pretty quick -- also open/flux/black box, icewm, enlightenment.... [14:39] slidinghorn: cheap office computers [14:40] resno, I have a similar box and run xubuntu on it [14:40] in my experience, xfce isn't much lighter than gnome itself anymore. [14:40] slidinghorn: is gnome a heavy enviroment? [14:40] hello [14:40] i'm getting a pop up in firefox to install flash but when i go to install missing plugins and choose flash and click next it says it's already installed [14:40] resno: depends on what you compare it to I guess [14:41] i want to back up data from my another PC [14:41] !flash | wolfric_ [14:41] wolfric_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [14:41] and i was using ipmsg [14:41] but it can't handle 46 GB folder [14:41] with many sub-folders [14:41] slidinghorn: to like xfce, which ive read is lightweighter [14:42] Dink, where am I not using full paths in the script? '/usr/bin/cpufreq-selector -c $cpu -g $lowgov' should be any problem there? [14:42] shouldn't* [14:42] if i would get a 2 GB SATA flash drive would that be enough for ubuntu sevrer, transmission, sabnzbdplus and samba ? or would that be a dumb discission keeping security updates in mind? [14:42] resno: like I said...xfce has gotten away from their "lightweight" days, and it's getting more and more bloated (in my humble opinion). I didn't notice a huge difference between the two. if you want a light, full desktop environment, try LXDE [14:42] what software would you recommend for streaming video over network from a webcam? [14:42] resno, xfce is lighter than gnome, but you can install any gnome app in it [14:43] ok, slidinghorn ill check out lxde then [14:43] slidinghorn: didn't help. it says it's already installed [14:43] ernov,vlc, gstreamer [14:43] gstreamer can do that? [14:44] slidinghorn: for flash. i've restarted my browser multiple times [14:44] glaucous, put it for all the other stuff like echo, date, ps etc [14:44] wolfric_: not to sound like I'm giving "canned" responses, but have you restarted the machine? [14:44] slidinghorn: already done multiple times [14:44] slidinghorn, you may have not noticed a diff, but for people with slower computers, there is a difference [14:44] ok so i only want to transfer it once [14:44] hmmm [14:44] ook DragonKeeper found the solution [14:44] but pm me plz [14:44] but anyway FileZilla will be good for this right ? [14:44] pionar: very possible...like I said, just one man's humble opinion :) [14:45] Dink, but the log file outputs "Setting governor: performance at 20101022-153101", which means that the only part that is not working is the cpufreq. [14:45] slidinghorn, yeah [14:46] glaucous, I didn't run the script nor seen your log file. The usual culprit of cronjobs are path related. [14:46] slidinghorn: comes up with same message on chrome even though when i click get flash it says chrome should already have it built in by default. I'm 10.10 [14:46] ernov, check your package manager for gstreamer plugins like the gnomeVFS [14:47] Sorry to bother you all with this, but my upgrade has been stuck on "unpacking replacement libnih-dbus1" for the last hour, can anyone advise? [14:48] Dink, sorry about that. Okay well. I'll try the cpufreq alone in a crontab job instead [14:49] lolwhites_: you could go to the console and see if theres any messages at the end of the 'dmesg' commands output. about hard drive errors.. [14:49] lolwhites_: the /var/log/ dir may also have some apt/update log files to check out. [14:51] Dr_Willis: how do I do that? [14:52] Hello. I have a simple question about Lucid in a dual-head Setup. Notifications (the notify-osd thingie) shows up on the left monitor on the right side. Thats irritating. How can i change this to have the popups on the right monitor on the right side? [14:52] Dr_Willis: what do I look for in /var.log? === Putr|Away is now known as Putr [14:53] hello all [14:54] got a quick questions, I am trying to get over to irc.esper.net but can't seem to find out how to connect to their channel [14:54] lolwhites_: look for any file names that mention apt. or packages. or upgrade/update. There may not be a good fix for the thing crashing. [14:54] CalypsoLTS: /server irc.whatever.net [14:54] ah, thanks [14:55] Dr_Willis: Can I abort the upgrade without breaking my sustem? [14:55] lolwhites_: no idea [14:56] Dr_Willis: /var/log/apt/history.log only shows most recent updates, not the current upgrade [14:58] is there a trick to get a root shell when on the device ? [14:58] i'm thinking about maintenance mode [14:59] rofl0r: wat do you mean 'on the device' ?

[15:01] I find its more likely a user broke somthing. :) [15:01] get to the grub menu from where? [15:01] (like pressing F8 on windows) [15:01] when booting [15:01] siema [15:01] space, or shift, forces the m enu to show when its hidden. [15:01] i always set it to NOT hide. [15:02] ok, ty Dr_Willis [15:02] * Dr_Willis whoders who decided on F8 in windows.. and why grub dsoent unhide on ANY key press... [15:02] hello [15:02] F8? [15:02] windows has some 'press f8 to get to a rescue mode menu/thang' option.. [15:03] F8 is so logical ....

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [16:44] I overcame the grub error 22 thing.

[16:51] fazzil, scroll down to administration and select it. Click on Software Sources to add it to your menu.

I am pretty new [16:58] it tells me often that there is a PCI Bridge - is it the right thing? [16:58] When the driver is present it's wlan0 or some other network interface name.

How do I let him install software for his own account that wont effect other users and not have to add him to the sudoers file? [17:03] tjkent, basically you need to make adjustments to your xorg.conf with relation to your mouse input.

[17:04] schneider_: You should just ask... if someone can answer they will. :) [17:05] schneider_, wlan0 only shows up when you have the drivers present, loaded, and functioning. Otherwise we (YOU) need to know what HARDWARE that you are lacking the software for with relation to your network device. lspci -v [17:05] Licuadora: /usr/bin [17:05] schneider_: Ah I see it above - most likely you don't have the correct driver loaded & functioning. [17:05] I downloaded MAME with the executable, and when I open MAME, it asks me for the path, but I have no idea where to look [17:05] Where can i get the drivers then?

[17:06] ok i have a new hard drive and i just powered on my ubuntu server. What do i need to do to get that thing working? [17:06] schneider_, there are multiple drivers. We don't know which you should get because you haven't told us what hardware you have that needs drivers. [17:06] wait im looking [17:06] hey [17:06] the old fallback is of course ndiswrapper with the windows driver. [17:06] !hi | Rob235 [17:07] whats the best way to go from 10.04 to 10.10, fresh install? or is upgrading ok? [17:07] schneider_: You need to do the additional drivers thing with a wired connection [17:07] Kartagis, run sudo gparted and see if the disk is detected? [17:07] Which also doesn't appear to be in the ubuntu repositories. [17:07] Rob235, there is probably only one way to find out...

[17:41] !help [17:41] 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. :-) [17:41] umm i can hit ctrl-alt-F1 to go all text console [17:42] hi people [17:42] mathrys83: Ctrl + Alt + F7 or F8 [17:42] mathrys83, but...??? Alt+F7 to return (depending on config) [17:42] ^^ [17:42] hi guys [17:42] hi [17:43] mathrys83: do you need to switch from gdm to kdm? [17:43] Could be other F#'s if your inittab is customized. [17:43] the problem is my gui is set to gui-console mode and i cant seem to find how to change it [17:43] anyone knows how to change the FOCUS behavior of Ubuntu's windows? [17:43] everyone, use arch linux and use xfce. don't use ubuntu its shit [17:43] I've got an issue with empathy, it can't connect nor to my msn account neither to my gtalk one [17:43] hello. I'm trying to disable the autosuspend of my webcam using laptop mode tools. I've added the usb ID to AUTOSUSPEND_USBID_BLACKLIST in the /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/usb-autosuspend.conf file. Restarted power-mode-tools. But when I unplug the power I still lose it, verified by ls /dev/input/by-id/. Any ideas? [17:43] mathrys83: when you login do you get the gui? [17:43] mathrys83, probably a grub2 thing. Running grub-legacy might be one option. [17:43] who have android irc list? [17:44] what spawns the virtual consoles now when /etc/inittab are gone in 10.10? [17:44] or am I the only person suffering from it?

[17:44] i see the gui login, i have a graphic desktop i can commandline load one thing at a time like right now im running firfox. (thank god for tabs) but i cant use my panels or move any windows [17:44] slidinghorn, not sure I follow [17:45] tripps: System > Preferences > Power Management -- see if there's a setting in there [17:45] mathrys83: logoff and check that Ubuntu Desktop is selected at the bottom. not xterm. [17:45] mathrys83, once you select your username in the GDM login screen check to see what "Session" is selected at the bottom [17:45] mathrys83: then lod back in [17:46] koskoz: some one last night killed empathy-haze then reloaded empathy to connect to yahoo [17:46] Hmmm. /etc/init.d/tty#.conf [17:46] hello [17:46] hi all, mistakenly deleted broadcom B43 wireless drivers.

[17:47] what is going on with empathy haze ? [17:47] faisal, sudo apt-get -f reinstall linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic [17:47] issue resolved. thx [17:47] or something like that. [17:47] 32 bit or 64 bit, says 32 bit is recommended is it any worse than it has been? [17:48] thanks. issue just resolved [17:48] EVERYONE, TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY. [17:48] Rob32, what exactly? It will always recommend cause 32 bit runs on 64 bit system too [17:48] thechitowncubs: meh... [17:48] I'm using 64-bit on all my machines...except for one that's a 32 bit machine. I've not experienced any problems but ymmv...

[17:48] olmari: IT WASN'T MY IDEA. [17:48] 10.10 regeya? [17:48] ok i should be shot [17:48] if you're determined that you have to have, say, libreoffice and don't want to build it, then you'll need 32-bit :-> [17:49] fgh, /etc/init/tty#.conf [17:49] Rob235: yep. [17:49] ok [17:49] Rob235: I use 64 bit, but many packages still don't support 64 bit officially like the adobe flash ( but one now in beta stage) [17:49] !caps | thechitowncubs it was cute the first line....

Didn't know myself [17:52] slidinghorn: and where is that folder? i tried cding to it, but it couldn't find it === magnetron is now known as horrible [17:53] furi: cd ~ and then cd .gnome-panel (don't forget the period) [17:53] Rob235, download using torrents. it's much faster. [17:53] slidinghorn, yeah nothing there. I'm using laptop-mode-tools to control usb autosuspend. it's disabled by default [17:53] Perhaps he's looking for where it defines that it should look there?

[18:04] eirikb: flash and java, mostly [18:04] eirikb: And other closed source 32-bit only things [18:04] eirikb: beacuse if some one that has no idea what 32/64bit means.. the 32bit one will run on their 32bit OR 64bit machines.. [18:04] * Seneca eeks, this nick's taken. [18:04] eirikb: releases that come between the LTS ones are a little less stable, as is the 64-bit version (according to my understanding) [18:04] But I can still install 32 bit java (and perhaps flash?) === Seneca is now known as Senpuff [18:04] eirikb: Sure, if you know how [18:04] eirikb: i use 64bit on everything with little issues in java or flash these days.. now 2 + years ago.. there were issues.. [18:04] 32bit is considered the "safe choice" by ubuntu [18:05] eirikb: It's usually a little extra work although not much recently [18:05] Dr_Willis: Same here [18:05] schneider_, i don't see any wireless hardware. you have wired, but not wireless. is it a usb wireless device? [18:05] eirikb: flash too, a beta adobe flash is available for 64 bit [18:05] 'default' to the one that hopeflly works in all cases. even if it dosent let you use your systems full potential. :) [18:05] Hey, I'm having trouble getting my touchpad on my laptop working... can someone help me out here? [18:05] I just got curious, since they state this on the download page [18:05] eirikb, safe choice is 32 bit [18:05] But if it's only for flash and java (mainly) and similar issues then there is nothing to fear (IMHO) [18:05] seidos: No, it is my system. I have a laptop with integrated wifi [18:05] !details | Senpuff [18:05] Senpuff: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version ....

[19:08] !ftp [19:08] FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [19:08] ssh always return "connect to host 192.168.1.3 port 22: Connection refused" [19:08] andyzammy: see X-Sleepy-X's msg above ^^ [19:08] X-Sleepy-X: thanks,m that did the trick :) [19:08] I'm having a problem w/ my Down arrow on my keyboard, when I hold it down, it does not continue to move down, it is just one action per click. Can anyone help me fix it? [19:08] andyzammy: yw [19:08] ode2oddness: you have to have the ssh server installed on the receiving machine [19:08] i just bunged the -l arg next to the others, didn'g work [19:08] thanks :) [19:09] all done [19:09] i am using LiveUSB of EXACTLY same system and installing apps on both machines [19:09] hi [19:09] http://www.islamhouse.com/ [19:09] dark_: please stop spamming that site. [19:09] which site [19:10] Omni_Link: You should be able to change it by opening Keyboard Preferences if it's any keys that do that [19:10] ode2oddness is your firewall have its port open ? is your ssh server listen on your interface ? have you a fail2ban installed on your server? [19:10] i also [19:10] using Lubuntu [19:10] and it's pain in the ass [19:10] can someone help me make synclient parameters stick after reboot without resorting to using xorg.conf? [19:10] i should install normal Ubuntu or Kubuntu ;P [19:10] in whose ass [19:10] mattbd: yeah, that is how i finally fixed it so the Down arrow actually moves down. But when i hold it down, i do not keep going down.. [19:10] !language | poonforce [19:10] poonforce: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:11] Anybody know anything about NetworkManager overwriting resolv.conf? It's happening to me on every reboot :( [19:11] evenin all [19:11] Have anyone got ubuntu and 120hz LCD to work at true 120hz? [19:11] Omni_Link: If it's just that key that does it I'm inclined to think it's more likely to be a hardware problem. Does it do the same if you boot from a live CD or use another OS? [19:12] Araneidae: you could perhaps remove the write permissions of that file [19:12] mattbd: nope, logged into Windows, and it works fine. Switched out 3 different keyboards all have the same problem. [19:12] first i tried to use ipmsg [19:12] X-Sleepy-X, yeah, but that's not a very good fix [19:12] In an online web portal for work, when I try to attach a file from my NAS to a message that I generate within the system, the system complains that I can only attach "Local Files". I attach to the NAS via ftp through the file manager. Is there a way to mount the NAS (maybe in fstab) to make the connection transparent to this wacky online system? [19:12] I'd rather fix the problem. Going to trying uninstalling network-manager altogether [19:12] http://www.islamhouse.com/ [19:12] Araneidae: yeah i know, it's like fixing a car with duck tape... ;) [19:13] hi I have a question, how do I install a driver in Ubuntu 10.10? In help it says go to "Admin. -> Hardware Drivers" but "Hardware Drivers" menu item is missing in my install! [19:13] Mattbd: been in the Keyboard preferences, "restored default settings" still nothing. I think i messed up some other binding and cannot find the command to reset it all back to default. [19:13] dark_: last warning. stop spamming that site...also, do not PM other people without permission [19:13] xtrmntr: which driver? [19:13] Araneidae: System->Preferences->Network Connections, edit your connection, on the ipv4 settings change it from DHCP to DHCP (addresses only) [19:13] Araneidae: nm does overwrite resolv.conf.. I use Wicd to set static addresses.. or nothing and do it manually. [19:13] one sec, thanks for reply [19:14] Araneidae: That will stop it from using dhcp dns info to overwrite resolv.conf [19:14] dark is probably a bot [19:14] "RT2500-Linux-STA-1.4.6.6.tar.gz" [19:14] it [19:14] dark_, cut the crap...! [19:14] !pm > dark_ [19:14] dark_, please see my private message [19:14] is for my USB linksys wireless adapter [19:14] xtrmntr: sorry i miss read your question, the answer is jockey-gtk in the terminal === warren is now known as Guest54028 [19:14] xtrmntr: gksudo jockey-gtk [19:14] ok thank you ill try that now [19:15] Dulak: why is that not more evident from within nm? It would seem that would be something that a lot of people would want to tweek. === niko is now known as NIKO [19:15] Omni_Link: I'd suggest starting at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [19:15] hallo ihr [19:15] im having problems with gtk-recordmydesktop in lastest nvidia drivers on a 320m video card... i see pixels while playin the video i dont know how to solve it, any suggestion where i should start looking for a solution to this? === owner is now known as memeyou === Guest22555 is now known as Exxon [19:16] Scunizi: no idea, I'm no a dev, I just had to find that setting myself to do what I wanted [19:16] anyone know why gparted won't start in X? [19:16] hi [19:16] i'm now trying to use deluge web UI and i get a XML Parsing Error when i try visit the web page, what could be the problem? [19:16] it shows "starting gparted" in the task bar then it goes away... [19:16] how are all? [19:17] dark_: do you have an Ubuntu-related support question? this room is not for chat. If you would like to chat, please to go to #ubuntu-offtopic [19:17] memeyou: you might have to run sudo gparted [19:17] Dulak: it's the little stuff like that, that drives newcomers nuts.. and some of us old timers too.. especially if you're use to configuring the connection manually, or want to. NM just interferes. [19:17] memeyou: try gksudo gparted in the terminal and check for errors in the output if there is any... [19:17] memeyou: try running it in terminal and post the error(s) to http://paste.ubuntu.com [19:17] pksadiq i tried but for some reason DISPLAY isn't set =\ [19:17] for pc or psp orps3 [19:18] !ot | dark_ [19:18] dark_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[19:18] x-sleepy-x: Ive placed the driver tar.gz file on the desktop but i suspect it might be a dodgy driver...? I'm looking for a driver for the Ralink RT2500 chipset, but the Ralink website seems to be down [19:18] Scunizi: any interface setup in /etc/network/interfaces is ignored by NM, I don't find it that annoying really. The interface could use some work but I am not annoyed at how it actually works. [19:18] ok sorry [19:18] because additional drivers dont find the driver [19:18] !sudo > pksadiq [19:18] pksadiq, please see my private message [19:19] anyone else unable to use delube web UI? i get xml parsing error when i try load the page up.. what could be the problem? [19:19] ok [19:19] same display missing error on gk and regular sudo [19:19] oh wait do i have to extract files in tar.gz files first? [19:19] before drivers can be installed? [19:19] Generally. === altin is now known as altin_brb [19:20] but i must enter IP while using ssh with xxx.xxx.0.x or xxx.xxx.1.x [19:20] xtrmntr: yes [19:20] great! [19:20] thanks, sorry for being a total noob :p [19:20] Skype won't sign in, it signs in on windows. what should i do? [19:20] xtrmntr: atleast i think so, not 100% sure though [19:20] Is it possible to specify additional repositories as apt-get command parameters? [19:21] Or maybe additional repo list files? [19:21] X-Sleepy-X: what happened? [19:21] ima sound retarded for asking this [19:21] but how the hell do u install the nvidia drivers per command line [19:21] well terminal [19:21] i downgraded my Xorg to use my 96 card >_> just upgraded the damn package list back to maverick before i installed the drivver:)) [19:22] morbidcracker: this is a little old, but may still work -- if the package names arent' found do apt-cache search nvidia [19:22] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=606905 [19:22] mattt_:You mean you just want to do that as a one off, and don't want to add them to your /etc/apt/sources_list? [19:22] mattt_:Oops, should be sources.list [19:22] ok - tell me what i'm doing wrong tryign to run gparted: http://pastebin.com/RwdqTiVW [19:22] list [19:22] pksadiq: just wanted to point out that there is a difference in using sudo and gksu :) you told memeyou to use sudo with gui program... [19:23] Sean93: you can try using the latest version available from PPA rather than the one available from ubuntu repos. [19:23] i've used sudo w/ plenty of X apps in fedora [19:23] X-Sleepy-X: got it ;) [19:23] could anyone tell me a good site where one can find reliable linux drivers? specifically for wireless network adapters [19:23] why wouldn't it work? [19:23] mattbd: yes exactly - alternatively if I could specify an additional list file on the command line, one not found in /etc/apt/ or sources.list.d/ [19:23] trying to get deluge web ui to work, getting an xml parsintg error, can someone assist please? [19:24] !sudo | memeyou [19:24] memeyou: 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 [19:24] X-Sleepy-X: but if in terminal there is no problem using sudo with gui apps [19:24] mattt: Just had a quick look through the man page for apt-get and I can't see a way to do it [19:24] greetings channel [19:24] pksadiq: are you sure? [19:24] nice - one response isn't english and the other is copypasta [19:25] erm...rofl [19:25] memeyou: it ties up the terminal, gksudo does not, it detaches itself and the program you run, sudo from the terminal keeps the terminal attached to the program you run, so when you exit the terminal, it exits your sudoed program [19:25] well i think i broke apt [19:25] yes noone know how to run gparted after i posted my pastebin ;) [19:25] ill be back after a restart [19:25] mattbd: yeah I'm goin through the various manuals trying to figure it out [19:25] X-Sleepy-X: yes [19:25] memeyou: also gksudo from the run dialog pops up a nice password prompt, sudo does not [19:26] mattt_: sudo add-apt-repository repository [19:26] memeyou: i know how to run it, just not on your pc :P [19:26] idk how nice and pretty it is - both are failing for me equally when both should work, lol - the recommendation is a bust [19:26] mattt_: If it`s in launcpad [19:26] where do i find that script (?) [19:26] after upgrading to 10.10 my laptop (Thinkpad X200) no longer has acpi support. ie, no option to suspend/hibernate and no battery or power saving management. what packages provide this features? maybe i should re-install them? [19:26] launchpad [19:26] add-apt-repository [19:27] memeyou: could you try "DISPLAY=:0;sudo gparted" ? [19:27] nevermind.. [19:27] my pc is a clean ubuntu install about 6 hours old [19:27] mattt_: that *is* the script. open a terminal (applications > accessories > terminal) and type that in followed by the repository [19:27] mattt_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine [19:27] I should have said - it's not installed on my system, which package is it in? [19:28] I don't suppose there's a remove-apt-repository? [19:28] I have a silly question: I'm soon going to be running 10.10 server. I would like to use the server as an OpenCL box as it has a nice nvidia gpu. How can I get the OpenCL-enabled nvidia drivers installed in a non-graphical environment? [19:28] Glebelg, thanks but no :0 doesn't work either [19:28] ah.. I'm on hardy here [19:28] mattt_: Good question, I`d like to know that too [19:28] memeyou: can you run any gui app using sudo/gksu ? [19:28] add-apt-repo is new in karmic [19:28] mattt_: Yes [19:29] damn im tryin to install the wrong driver here, anyone have any idea where i can find drivers for linksys wireless adapters? [19:30] mattt_: You may be able to install it, you would need python-software-properties [19:30] gatlinjohnson, X can be started without a windows manager on top [19:30] i've spent the last 20min or so googling to no avail... i recently did a fresh install of maverick and evolution doesn't seem to have calendar or contact types for connecting to google services anymore, am i missing a pkg ? [19:30] gatlinjohnson, with the proper drivers referenced === FrozenFire[work] is now known as FROZENFIRE[WORK] [19:31] well [19:31] I'm used to ubuntu desktop so please continue your patience :) how would I install the latest nvidia drivers from apt and only x? [19:31] youre right [19:31] its pretty old...and it doesnt work lol [19:31] I need very.. "default" stuff. I'll just do some configuration to achieve what I'm trying to do. Thanks! [19:31] 10.04 has problems with its wireless driver in my system... when i use it, i get abrupt hard panics (everything nonresponsive, blinking caps lock light, so no logs possible). The moment i stopped using wireless the crashes do not occur. [19:31] hello [19:32] ey guys [19:32] trying to get deluge web ui to work, all the page brings up is xml parsing error. does somebody know how to fix this please?

There are no logs because it happens too fast, and the only thing one will see is black screen, frozen mouse pointer, and blinking caps lock light. My issues have nothing to do with my hardware, since It works perfectly well in XP partition. Another thing to corroborate this is that no [19:39] t using my wireless adapter and relying on ethernet adapter stops the crashes completely. === slidinghorn is now known as zz_slidinghorn [19:39] noren: ok [19:40] trism, yep [19:40] rocky: yes there is http://img263.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tmpanqoem.png [19:40] trism, i've tried most of the *typical* stuff lol [19:40] xangua, sigh, on my computer, the "Google" option is missing from that dialog [19:40] Hey guys, I currently have ubuntu installed inside an encrypted LVM partition.

Simply cut and paste. for more info on mounting type /msg ubottu !mount [19:48] jelso, hrmm. then your problem is different than mine :( [19:48] ActionParsnip, alt-F1 launches the "Applications" menu. --- and when I Find something, in gui doing a search, coming at it a different way, I cant find out WHERE the file is. I can find the "beginnings" of the path in Properties but not the rest of it. [19:48] Jettis_: you mean the session applet¿ [19:49] jelso: * [19:49] I can't boot other Ubuntu. Grub 2, must load kernel first? [19:49] Well I used the wubi installer and only allowed 3gigs for the installation... I figured I would transfer all the files over... [19:49] tripelb: I see, are the results colomns adjustable? [19:49] X-Sleepy-X: somthing not right with the xls file that it downloaded [19:49] Can someone help me please? Im trying to open up a port in my router for Transmission, and cant remember what ip addy to put in. Is there a way to find it with the terminal? I tried portforward.com but either they dont explain for gateways or just dont have mine in their tuts. Any suggestions? [19:49] noren: yeah, its the wrong size [19:49] xangua: I suppose it's the message applet/power applet. I don't know it's official name [19:49] Red6247: way too......little next time you may wanna give it 10 or 20 gb [19:49] I upgrade from 10.4 to 10.10 and after rebooting the graphic is not working , how can I launch X11? [19:50] malachai: to access from the web you need your wan ip. Www.ipchicken.com will tell you it [19:50] malachai, try 192.168.1.1 [19:50] Grub says I must load a kernel first [19:50] understood. Now how do I do what I want.. Either transfer the files over or change the default file location [19:50] Ok thanks. [19:50] batok: do you use an nvidia video chip? [19:50] It was installed in virtualbox from mac os x [19:50] Red6247: uninstall wubi, install it again [19:50] noren: do you need that file in particular or is it an operation you'll need to repeat ? [19:51] or you can use the better suggestion that ActionParsnip always offers over mine :-P [19:51] !panels | jelso [19:51] jelso: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [19:51] malachai: if you are configuring the forward you will need the routers internal ip [19:51] I understand thats a route but I would like to alter the programming a bit. I have been programming in windows for over 12 years.. This file system almost works the same.. So there should be a way to do this.. Or is this a way to advanced question? [19:51] slidinghorn: just some bits I know. Now you know too ;) [19:52] ubottu: that worked! thank you! :) [19:52] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:52] I have done very limited programming in linux [19:52] Ok 192.168.1.1 did not work and neither did the ip that ipchicken gave me.??. [19:52] malachai: you might want to open up a terminal and do a "route -n" to get your gateway. That's most likely the IP you have to enter in your web browser to configure it. (If I got you right) [19:53] noren: if it's a one time thing, you can get it here : http://torrent-search.sourceforge.net/pool/20090916_overflow_zsp.xls [19:53] actionparsnip: there is no app started, the menu opens and I see Accessories Education etc the list of categories of applications. [19:53] if I am in console mode how can I launch the X11/window manager? [19:53] batok: probably smth like "sudo service gdm start" [19:54] batok: or type sudo startx [19:54] tks muelli [19:54] tks pksadiq [19:54] or just startx or xinit? [19:54] batok: I still use /etc/init.d/gdm start but that's deprecated ;-) [19:54] batok:type "startx" [19:54] 10.10 [19:54] If it helps I am running this OS on a Linux Loop off of windows. Is there a way to alter this Ext4 partition and add more memory to it? theres got to be a way [19:54] If X is running just hit alt-F7, if not start gdm with 'sudo service gdm start' [19:54] Red6247: you used wubi, there is no ext4 partition [19:55] hullo [19:55] any pulseaudio gurus around? [19:55] !anyone | rysiek|pl [19:55] rysiek|pl: 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? [19:55] I am looking at the partition right now off of Disk utility.. It claims the partition type is Ext4 (version 1.0) [19:55] hi [19:55] job is already running but there's no graphical desktop [19:55] I mean gdm [19:55] bishnu: Hi [19:55] which is better ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 [19:56] !better | bishnu [19:56] bishnu: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[19:56] bishnu: ubuntu 14.10 [19:56] it also says the device location is /dev/loop0 [19:56] after fixing some problems with music-applet not showing up in the add to panel menu, it now says the panel encountered a problem while trying to execute it. when i try to execute it via terminal, i get this: http://pastebin.com/2wBhhFtn [19:56] got pulseaudio 0.9.15 on an n900; 0.9.22 on maverick; when I try to send a stream from the laptop to the n900 I get: E: protocol-native.c: protocol error, kicking client [19:56] glebihan: i need to repeat the operation for the entire year..it not a one time job thats why i am trying a way to download it from the cli so that i can create a batch file [19:56] batok: try ALT + CTRL + 7, if some other erros are got try back ALT + CTRL + 1 [19:57] rysiek|pl: I think there is #pulseaudio as well. You could try in #maemo, too. [19:57] This is happening after upgrading from 10.4 to 10.10 [19:57] after fixing some problems with music-applet not showing up in the add to panel menu, it now says the panel encountered a problem while trying to execute it. when i try to execute it via terminal, i get this: http://pastebin.com/2wBhhFtn [19:57] just after rebooting [19:57] off of my secondary drive f:\ is the location of root.disk [19:57] root.disk seems to be the area where this OS simulates a partition or drive or vitual drive [19:58] muelli: thanks [19:59] <_mrn_ver_> byesss guysss [19:59] Red6247: Are you using wubi? I mean that you installed linux trought wubi? [19:59] noren: still trying [19:59] i did use wubi for the install correct [19:59] hi everyone! [20:00] seeems wubi took some area off of my f:\ drive [20:00] can anything that works in backtrack work in Ubuntu? [20:00] and is using that for ubuntu off of a dual boot [20:00] i am having some trouble in trying to install office 2007 under wine [20:00] X-Sleepy-X: yes friend, still no luck here, need more suggestion [20:00] and was wondering if someone has experienced the same problem [20:00] !appdb | viegasfh [20:00] viegasfh: 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 [20:00] Firestarter crashes skype when i have it enabled [20:00] and could help me out [20:00] now i can access and change my home location to another partition [20:00] but that does not help my problem with the ubuntu software center [20:01] i can access MOST the information from a folder I found but not all.... [20:01] viegasfh, what issues are you having? [20:01] I dont wat to transfer the information because of stability issues.. [20:01] red6247: sry but theres no way to extend that partition. If you start windows you can find your "root.disk" witch is one big file. The only way is to reinstall it and allocate more space. [20:01] noren: i'm trying to make it work [20:01] hello . . . [20:01] glebihan: X-Sleepy-X : Any ways you ppl can help me locate the direct download link to the same file,, from within the site. As I am able to download them by clicking on them wthin the browser !! [20:02] ok i was using facebook in ubuntu this morning, now i can't access the page at all with any browser, but i can with my windows machine... anyone have a idea? i used facebook from ubuntu earlier with firefox... [20:02] amivit: i have downloaded winetricks and when I try to install msxml3 it gives me an error [20:02] i did find the root.disk.... If linux cliams that its a ext4 partition then i should be able to alter it..... [20:02] does anyone have any advice for a newbie who can't get any version of Ubuntu or Kubuntu to run from CD or from USB? [20:02] well harvi. Why couldn't Red6247 increase the filesize, increase the partition size and then increase the filesystem size? [20:02] I checked that my ISO is good . . . [20:02] dkopfman: what is your issue? :-) [20:02] muelli thats what exactly what i want to do [20:02] I tried the desktop and network versions of ubuntu 10.10 [20:02] Amivit: let me just translate the message [20:02] i just dont know the linux language [20:03] I tried with kubuntu 10.10 too. [20:03] dkopfman: checkout pendrive linux, there u will get the step by step instruction, [20:03] from where gdm takes configuration? I have killed gdm and doing sudo service gdm start but graphical mode never appears [20:03] I used pendrive linux [20:03] HI all. I experience very strange read speed slowness on Ubuntu 10.04. Source files are on ext3 partition. This is experiment copy to /dev/shm (which is simply a RAM, right?) http://paste.ubuntu.com/518218/ [20:03] the problem is the boot hangs. [20:03] idk i wish i knew more of the linux language,, I know windows and Dos very well.. but VERY hard to work on a linux system on windows [20:04] dkopfman: the boot hangs when you boot from the install CD? [20:04] dkopfman: at what point does it hang? [20:04] Red6247: well. simple. kinda. you might want to use "dd" in append mode on your loopback file, first. [20:04] batok: xorg.conf among many others... Ctrl-Alt-F7 to switch to your gnome-session. [20:04] noren: that's what i'm trying to find [20:04] Yes. [20:04] Anyone else getting a blank dark screen, with a mouse cursor, when booting Maverick live CD..? [20:04] dkopfman, did you verify the md5? [20:04] it's virtualbox most ctrl and alt don't work [20:04] I verified the md5 [20:04] Red6247: then you might want to use parted to increase the partition size (if that this is partitioned). then you want to use some well documented ext4 tools to increase the filesystem's size. Maybe parted does that nowadays for you. [20:05] is there a way to simulate from a command ctrl alt f7? [20:05] thats the problem i know 0% linux langauge.. well very little.... I think u have allready answered my question...... Now is this possible to do this in windows with a ext4 editor??? or is that the correct partition? linux claims thats what it is [20:05] dkopfman: how do you know "it hangs"? [20:05] viegasfh, afaik nothing special is required other than installing wine with your package manager and executing: wine ./SETUP.EXE [20:05] from the terminal. [20:05] o srry [20:05] Red6247: *shrug* I don't know and I don't care about windows. [20:05] u answered [20:05] my question [20:05] batok, use the left Ctrl + Alt keys -- right Control is used as the trigger [20:06] actually while i was typing [20:06] k so these systems function very simliar to most other systems [20:06] Hi I have a problem, how I can fix this? --->> Make [2]: *** [/ home/robert0/Linux_STA/os/linux/../../common/cmm_mac_usb.o] Error 1 [20:06] make [1]: *** [_module_/home/robert0/Linux_STA/os/linux] Error 2 [20:06] make [1]: Leaving directory `/ usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic ' [20:06] make: *** [LINUX] Error 2 [20:06] batok: If you are in a virtual console, you might be able to use Alt+left or alt+right as well to switch consoles.

[20:07] Sometimes it hangs when checking the video card, sometimes it hangs when checking the disk, sometimes it hangs after a series of messages that suggest it is logging in. [20:07] viegasfh, Oh I see I would suggest letting one of the others taking a look at that as I am extremely new to linux ^^ I just replied because I have recently installed Office 2007 through wine myself. [20:07] I come to get help to those who speak English, please someone give me help, thanks! [20:08] mzymblo: yes [20:08] ok, so i've wasted a lot of time reading about SHMConfig, xorg.conf, all just to enable tap zones on a touchpad. All of it could be done with synclient parameters in terminal. Can someone cut me some slack and tell me how to make these changes persist through reboots? [20:08] muelli: When you install linux under wubi, wubi creates root.disk file on your windows partiton. If you allocate for example 8GB for it, it creates 8GB file. Youre not lmited by win partion size but by root.disk file size. I used wubi long time ago, maybe in never versions are some changes i dont know [20:08] I have one more thing. For some reason when I try to access any directory ie: Documents, Downloads...etc. It tells me "Could not create the archive: Archive not supported". Any suggestions? invalid [20:08] help_me_triste, we need more information. Please type /msg ubottu !details [20:08] how do i specify that it is a virtual server? [20:08] Amivit: and what were the steps you followed? [20:08] harvi: so? I assume you can still change the file size of root.disk afterwards. [20:08] this is one of those few times that the "it just works" slogan is bs [20:09] i tried using TSC [20:09] has anyone here successfully added the Backtrack repository to their ubuntu? [20:09] viegasfh, I simply installed wine with my package manager and did wine .\setup.exe from the terminal. [20:09] !backtrack | n0a1ias [20:09] n0a1ias: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

[20:11] muelli: im trying to use TSC as I would in Windows to connect to our TS server thought I can't specify where on our domain it is located [20:11] mzymblo: TS being "Terminal Server"? Then you can use vinagre or "rdesktop" IIRC. [20:11] viegasfh, your welcome hope the small tip helps out :) [20:11] lock: its regarding wifi transmission range [20:11] gary_inNYC: wish I could help you, but the only time I've encountered problems with settings in xorg.conf not persisting was on thin clients running a debian derivative that stored numerous copies of the same configuration files because it was first stored as a backup (hard copy) then a flash-drive copy for boot-time changes and then a tmp one that was used for changes made during the session which waited for a procfs write [20:11] on shutdown. [20:11] I have one more thing. For some reason when I try to access any directory ie: Documents, Downloads...etc. It tells me "Could not create the archive: Archive not supported". Any suggestions?

[20:24] if it were that easy I wouldn't be here. muelli. I've tried restarting the computer, I've tried opening mouse settings, nothing in there is wrong. Ive tried unplugging the mouse [20:24] fep: sounds like you hit a bug. [20:24] muelli: how do i report it ? [20:25] last time i tried to update ubuntu (thing pops up), my system got pretty messed up.. should i even bother? [20:25] muelli this happened after installing and running sugar os, and having to hit shift?ctrl to use the mouse in their environment. Doing that again doesn't work either [20:25] blakkheim: because it's a shit, I have to read 3000 pages of horrible documents just to import key from another format, put a passphrase on it and load the key in memory [20:25] fep: well. You try to get a log and report it using "ubuntu-bug linux" [20:25] What is the command to reinstall a program? [20:26] uLinux: sudo aptitude reinstall pkgname [20:26] uLinux: apt-get install --reinstall $package [20:26] muelli: a log, as in write all the needed information, or ? [20:26] ty [20:26] fep: well. if your Kernel panics, it should print a trace to the virtual console. You'll see it ;-) [20:27] muelli: when i my kernel panics i have to hit the power button [20:27] RenatoSilva: that's not true. SSH is extremely well documented and rather intuitive to use. But YMMV of course. [20:27] &server ircnet [20:28] fep: sure. That's why you probably need to go to vt1 first (Ctrl+Alt+F1). [20:28] muelli: i dont think anything works, but i can try that [20:28] When I reinstall a program does it delete configuration files? I want to reinstall ALSA.. [20:28] bbl [20:28] Does anyone know how to bypass the RD Gateway for the local address on a windows 2008 server using Ubuntu 10.04's TSC? [20:28] well anyone else who can help me?

[20:29] guntbert: forget.. first i need to remove :p [20:29] furi: did you install python-numpy ? if not do [20:29] uLinux: what do want to achieve? [20:29] uLinux: you can dpkg-reconfigure the package after installation. [20:30] xtrmntr: modprobe [20:30] guntbert: i want reinstall ALSA but removing the old configuration files [20:30] it lilo worth installing if I am having problems with grub? [20:30] which version of ubuntu should i download if i want to install it on an acer aspire? (mini computer basically, want to use it for xbmc) [20:30] mzymblo: RD Gateway? entering the appropriate user/passwd should be enough for a standard windows 2008 terminal session. unless you have certificate-issued security... [20:30] muelli: dpkg-reconfigure "resets" configurations to default? [20:31] hi, does anyone know about fixing intel fakeRAID 0 striped disk pairs? One of the disks has some bad sectors (due to the delivery guy dropping the PC(Dell studio XPS)), and Win7 won't boot at all. I'm currently in 10.10 64, and 'dmraid -ay' returns that there are the wrong number of devices in the raid sets. Any ideas? [20:31] uLinux: I don't know about ALSA, but first you could try what muelli suggested above [20:31] mrbdotse: yes rd gateway [20:31] mrbdotse: and it works only if i am on the internal network [20:32] guntbert: "sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils" then "sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils" [20:32] i think it should work [20:33] uLinux: I don't know about the dependencies, but I don't see anything wrong here === vito_ is now known as Guest40660 [20:34] found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [20:34] lol i removes ubuntu-desktop [20:35] *it [20:35] Does anyone know how to bypass the RD Gateway for the local address on a windows 2008 server using Ubuntu 10.04's TSC?

I tried apt-get update, apt-get phpmyadmin but that says I'm already up to date (with version 2.11) and apt-get phpmyadmin3 package not found [20:36] alkemann: search at launchpad.net [20:36] mzymblo: do you have the possibility of using VPN to get inside and then use RDP instead? [20:37] <\phil\work\> alkemann: google for php53.dotdeb.org [20:37] yes, but it defeats what we are trying to accomplish [20:37] mrbdotse: yes, but it defeats what we are trying to accomplish [20:37] <\phil\work\> alkemann: Something like this: http://www.robsearles.com/2009/10/04/installing-php53-on-ubuntu-jaunty/ [20:37] alkemann: The PHP 5 version in Ubuntu 10.10 is 5.3.3.

[20:38] salve a tutti [20:38] hi all..recently while installing oracle 10g xe,i faced a prob dat errors were encountered while processing..wen i looked up on some sites they are telling to increase the swap partition..but wen i gave the swapon -s command i saw that my 2 gb of swap space was totally unused..any ideas how to overcome this problem? [20:38] will-s: 10.04, because i had to reinstall to it after an upgrade to 10.10 broke my machine down [20:38] mrbdotse: yes, but it defeats what we are trying to accomplish... RDP connections utilize server resources, VPN utilizes the end user's resources [20:38] People, I think the latest ubuntu version has stability issues because both xfce and gnome crashed on me when I was running them on a vnc server [20:39] !it | giuseppe_ [20:39] giuseppe_: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

I'm attempting a RDP connection. [20:43] guntbert: i've heard that but what is "meta package"? [20:44] !metapackage | uLinux [20:44] uLinux: A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions. [20:44] uLinux: a package that contains no real prgrams, it only depends on a lot of real packages to pull them all in together - try aptitude show ubuntu-desktop [20:44] hey [20:46] my skype just crashed with the error "AttributeContainer: Expected key 3 not present" how do i fix it? [20:46] Just a quick question. Does running Ubuntu from a dual boot make the system run slower? [20:46] pksadiq: i installed it, still doesn't work.

[20:56] alkemann: no [20:57] Thor^^: you have to reinstall [20:57] alkemann: you can reinstall the package with 'apt-get install' but no 'undo last operation' [20:57] alkemann: I think it is just apt-get install :( [20:57] trying to install a GUI on 10.10 Server x64, installed ubuntu-desktop but GUI errors out: http://pastebin.com/qYJNV31q [20:57] gimpy4672: why a gui on a server..? [20:57] hi, qick question. im new to linux. I downloaded Aptana RadRails. unzipped it, and I can run the application just fine. conventionally where should i keep these application folders and how can i create a symbolic link, i.e. type radrails in terminal and have the app run [20:57] ?

[20:59] n00bzorz: no need if you pick any of the folders in $PATH [20:59] n00bzorz: if you put it in any of those paths you can just type the binary name in terminal and it will work (since they are in your $PATH) [20:59] alkemann, i think you should have a log of what was removed in /var/log/dpkg.log, btw. [20:59] blakkheim: I wanted Ubuntu Desktop but it refused to see the hard drives, this is for a media center.

[21:34] Hello everyone, I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and clicking with the middle mouse button on a link in Firefox doesn't open it in a new tab, whilst it used to in the past, how can I regain this behavior? [21:34] Is there a way to make a rotaing desktop wallpaper automatically, similar to the cosmos pack or the new one in maberick, without me having to manually write the XML file? [21:35] I have installed all Wine on the download center but this nothing is appearing on my programs list [21:35] azm you refer to the one that automunts NTFS partitions? [21:35] BluesKaj: Can you pastebin the contents of /boot/grub/device.map, if it exists, then try "sudo mv /boot/grub/device.map /boot/grub/device.map-bak" and try running grub-probe again? [21:35] HaPK_PerCar, you mean rotating as in switching several times per hour or something? [21:35] guys I quiz Rythmbox however it immediately re-launches. any ideas? [21:35] *quit [21:35] anygivenname: just run "wine theexefile.exe" in terminal [21:35] Bliepo, yeah that's right [21:36] interestingly ctrl+q or quit btn does not prevent relaunch of rhythmbox... [21:36] HaPK_PerCar, you could try drapes, it is a program which allows you to do just that [21:36] you can install it using synaptic or apt-get [21:37] Jordan_U, No such file or directory [21:37] how can I see what output a running process currently does? [21:37] c_korn, a terminal application? [21:37] wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\theexefile.exe": Module not found [21:37] Bliepo, seems nice, athough I'd like it to be integrated to nautillus... [21:37] got that error [21:37] anygivenname: you are supposed to replace "theexefile.exe" with the windows program you want to run.. [21:38] Bliepo: yes [21:38] HaPK_PerCar, As far as I know, that doesn't exist :( [21:38] Jordan_U, altho fdisk -l sees the /dev/sda5 as a linux partition [21:38] Bliepo, I once found a page where you could get a nautillus script that did that, but anyway... [21:38] c_korn, running it from the terminal should give output, if it doesn't, try a -v to make it verbose [21:39] BluesKaj: It's normal not to have a device.map, so I don't understand why you're getting that error. Is that the only error you see? [21:39] everyone, i would like to announce i am leaving ubuntu. i am tired of nothing working and after spending all day just trying to get bbc iplayer flash to work, i'm giving up. goodbye [21:39] hi all... if I install ubuntu in virtual machine. can I install 64bit version on virtual machine that was on windows 32bit? [21:39] Bliepo: the problem is that the process already runs. it just hangs or something and I want to see if it writes some log. [21:39] M4d3L: no [21:40] I don't think it is possible to see the last output like with tail -f ? [21:40] oddy, bye then [21:40] could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winrar.exe": Module not found [21:40] anyone help with an issue of all ubuntu types, when booting stops loading until i hold down the return key [21:40] Jordan_U, the grub probe only outputs: cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map ... that's all [21:40] hi guys. do you see a reason why rhythmbox relaunches after quitting? what may trigger it? [21:40] anygivenname: you need to specify the full path to the exe file [21:40] c_korn, that depends, some keep logs, which application are you speaking about? [21:40] Does anyone know why a root user cannot change folder permissions [21:41] anygivenname: also you can use a tool like unrar to open rar files on linux, no need to use the windows program [21:41] done so [21:41] Bliepo: it is a self written python app [21:41] http://pastie.org/1241625. Can anyone help with this script? I read pwd for avoiding to type it twice, but echo $pwd | puttygen/ssh-add doesn't work. Is there any standard way of automatically "answering the questions" made by these commands? [21:41] now i want to open the program i have extracted [21:41] Krzysiek: what are you trying to do? [21:41] Krzysiek: cat /etc/passwd | grep root .... maybe root isnt really root ? [21:41] c_korn, and it hangs as soon as you launch it? [21:41] but the files do not show inside the folder on Ubuntu [21:41] hi guys.. do you guys know why my system (10.04) would randomly logout? it does this every 4-6 hours when i leave my computer on [21:42] how do I get their paths ?? [21:42] BluesKaj: Could you join #grub and mention your problem as well as the fact that "sudo /usr/sbin/grub-probe -v --device /dev/sda5 --target=drive" gives you that error?

If i repartition with GParted to move my user data to another partition will that erase all of my data? [21:47] ubuntuman: What happens if you don't hold return?

However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [21:50] Alpha, its not the shutdown, upon bootup it just stops. no hard drive activity or anything [21:50] ubuntuman: Normally that would bring up the grub menu, which will hopefully help to narrow down at what point things are "freezing" during boot.

[21:52] What I am trying to say is: on Windows 7 and MAC OS, my internet is fine... for do everything at the same time... Downloads; System updates and navegate whatever I want... In Ubuntu on the same computer.. is just SLOW, just one thing at time you can do.. If you do System updates... you cannot navegate anymore, because all of your connection is on the system update, at full speed, and occurs the same with downloads, In Ubuntu you make downloads a [21:52] t full speed and just all, navegate anymore [21:52] ubuntuman: that's ureadahead [21:52] anygivenname: how did you get the file? with firefox? [21:52] Flare188: what do you mean? [21:52] I am talking about speed. [21:52] Net [21:53] ubuntuman: Its a program that reads the files ahead before they are needed [21:53] Alpha: i havent just had this issue with ubuntu though. meego also does the same thing [21:53] guntbert: downloaded the rar then extracted it [21:53] ubuntuman: Aha, Hmm.. Thats a problem. You need to add options to grub.conf for the bootup kernel. ACPI options or Graphics card options [21:53] you don't need to press anything [21:53] How can manage net speed on the system, is there any software for that? [21:53] paviliondv5000: are you talking about one program using the whole bandwidth? [21:53] :/ [21:53] nvm [21:53] Yes [21:53] ubuntuman: I dont know what meego is, havnt tried it [21:53] Flare183: can this be easily resolved if it is that simple? [21:53] Question: What's the easiest method of "moving" applications installed in /-partition to another partition, let's say it's mounted on /apps, to free up system-space? [21:53] because, any system updates, kind of Steal all my connection [21:54] anygivenname: "then extracted it" ... so you should know where it is? [21:54] ubuntuman: A very new dist i suppose ? [21:54] ubuntuman: Well just try not pressing enter [21:54] mrbdotse: move a whole partition, so root gets more space [21:54] paviliondv5000: never seen this , sorry [21:54] And in Mandriva and its fine, I tested just yesterday. [21:54] Its only an Ubuntu problem [21:54] Alpha: its that intel nokia thing based on linux. but Windows boots up fine but i have tried reinstalls, updates etc and nothing seems to overcome this issue [21:54] guntbert: yes but Ubuntu does not show the exe files inside the folder so I do not know what it is named === ng_ is now known as _ng [21:55] Flare183: but then it will just stay at the cursor flashing i have lreft it for over 30 mins at one point with no further boot [21:55] How can I connet to my channel here Brazil?

Make it not halt at petty errors such as starting a server.

[22:47] ilovefairuz as I said, my mouse is not working, the left click does not function, the settings in the gui are all normal, and I don't know how to check the terminal to find out.

It appears my md5 hash of the iso does not match the one on the site :( [22:48] Hi all, I have a client dead set on a control panel such as cpanel... are there any decent ones available for ubuntu? I hate CentOS and would much prefer ubuntu [22:48] DasEi: I killed that postinst process and upgrade continues normally [22:48] ilovefairuz the left click on both mouse AND trackpad are not functioning correctly. I installed Sugar to see if it might be good for putting on a laptop for my nieces and my mouse would not work properly after that. The left click doesn't click, it turns into a hand, I have to use shift or ctrl to do anything with that button and it doesn't exactly function that way.

[22:53] whut? [22:54] just found ebox... supposedly suggested by the canonical team for web based server management.. [22:54] gonna try that [22:54] in terminal ilovefairuz?

[23:24] Alpha: before i can activate i probably need to enter a network device and all other fields right [23:24] were do i check [23:24] yes i'm already there, i'm just wondering should i do just one partition or more than one?? [23:24] ubuntunoobz: dont you think you should to see if its known to work so you dont waste your time [23:24] !gksudo | Nicolas_Leonidas [23:24] Nicolas_Leonidas: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately.

Can I do it in the gui? How do I start the Unroar program and then "open the folder"? I'll look at the rar titles now. [23:26] april 2011 [23:26] grid_: The gui should tell you if input or inputs are missing. Have you never setup a dhcp server before or learned to do as tooltips suggest ? [23:26] erUSUL> tripelb: if it is a multipart rar --> unrar the one that is *.rar o *.r00 [23:26] Seq: I still don't get your initial question then, if it's a clean ssd, just format it and , if in doubt, fsck it [23:26] grid_: Its fairly simple [23:26] lindows, every 6 months [23:26] never mind i found it https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html [23:26] Alpha: yes i did with windows, with a pool etc :) [23:26] thanks [23:26] good nite [23:26] I wil use gksudo but it still waits for the aplication to finish [23:27] grid_: you may ask i i dont escape by taking the first cab Outta Here! :) [23:27] DasEi, OIC. If I use the word 'subsequent" I think I've got it. -- re tripelb: oyu open the first one which containes a list of the proceeding ones [23:27] I remember there was a character one could use before a command [23:27] Alpha: but i know it looks like this http://gadmintools.flippedweb.com/gadmintools/images/screenshots/gdhcpd_scopes.html [23:27] that would make ubuntu run that command in a new thread or something [23:27] hehe [23:27] Nicolas_Leonidas: end the command with '&' to put it into the background [23:27] grid_: Sexxi. I think youll have no problems setting up some subnets etc. [23:27] tripelb: up is nice for lazy people, so still have to install the differnt packers' formats [23:27] !unp [23:28] Alpha: my version of isc is 3.1.3, they have an older version [23:28] !info unp [23:28] grid_: Ask me if you do.

[23:28] grid_: Again, not a problem. Also works with ipv6 [23:28] Hi bilz [23:28] grid_: No [23:28] I'm using the live cd, but xorg isn't loading right driver for monitor, so I moved to a separate terminal and was just going to install it via command line, but not sure what command to use... anyone know? [23:28] Nicolas_Leonidas: you can always open a new tab in terminal [23:29] Alpha: i want to use this range 172.16.1.0 [23:29] i want to shrink my extended partition. it is full with an ext4, linux-swap and ntfs partition in there. i want to shrink the ntfs partition. is this possible, as i am not able to with gparted for some reason [23:29] ognirc: what is yoru graphic card? [23:29] when I boot up the monitor complains about not having the right refresh rate [23:29] Bilz: yes.. but.. [23:30] grid_: And surely enough, was it this subnet any cool ? [23:30] Bilz: the partitions mussn't be mounted, so use a live/usb solution and.. [23:30] Bilz: You won't with a mounted partition - use a LiveCD [23:30] excellenbt [23:30] thank you guys [23:30] Sorry DasEi [23:30] yes [23:30] off to give it a shot :) [23:30] where do you change the number of virtual desktops/ [23:30] oh btw [23:31] say i install 2 different linux distros [23:31] Bilz: if yoo resize ubu's partitons, goto adjust it's blkids afterwards (fstab, grub) [23:31] blkids [23:31] magicianlord: right click and alter number of rows/columns. [23:31] Tommo. np, I'll be off sooner or later :) [23:31] magicianlord: right-click the workspace switcher and choose preferences [23:32] !blkid | Bilz [23:32] Bilz: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [23:32] DasEi, am I going to end up breaking my ssytem?! also, i want install another linux distro on the extended partition. thereis no need to make a new swap partition for it right? [23:32] magicianlord: right click > preferences > alter columns/rows [23:32] Dulak: i removed the workspacde switcher tray icon. what's the direct way to access it [23:32] also, do space in fstab between items in single row matter? [23:32] magicianlord: that's the direct way, I never found it in administration or preferences [23:32] actually, im not resizing ubuntus partition [23:32] no worry [23:33] off to give it a shot, thanks! [23:33] Dulak: ok man. i prefer the terminal way [23:33] Bilz: not with some research, I once got six OS'es on one drive, and yes, linuxes can share swap [23:33] Jordan_U [23:33] do spaces matter in fstab? [23:34] ubuntu_mad: Yes? [23:34] magicianlord: depends on where [23:34] is there a way to set config so that remote access password trials can be set to 3 trials & then locks for a period of time ? [23:34] between fields [23:34] Jordan_U i have that text file about the grub issue.just pastebining now [23:34] magicianlord: /dev /sda1 matters, /dev/sda1 / that space doesn't [23:34] how do I find out what video card I'm using? [23:35] ^ [23:35] magicianlord: only enough to separate them [23:35] ok DasEi. just wonder why there are huge spaces between some fields and little etween others [23:35] it can b a single space from what i understand [23:35] Gryllida: lspci | grep vga (or see whole output)hwinfo for more details [23:35] Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/YtpKRbqS [23:35] magicianlord: So that (ideally) the colums line up nicely when viewed in a text editor. [23:36] Jordan_U: they never do though [23:36] hey i want the oss for my sound card insted of alsa [23:36] magicianlord: you just said it right, spaces between fields are no matter [23:36] DasEi: 'lspci | grep vga' no output; installing hwinfo [23:36] thoughs so. thank you for your input, fellow Ubuntu users. [23:36] how to apply oss for my system [23:37] Gryllida: gnome-device-manager is very comfortable, sudo lspci shall, amongst others, show it [23:37] lspci | grep -i vga [23:37] ii yes [23:38] Jordan_U is that text ok? === chocoby is now known as CHOCOBY [23:38] how do i find out where apache2's httpd.conf file is located? [23:39] ubuntu_mad: Does the /boot/ directory of your Ubuntu install contain any kernel images? You can check with "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/" then "ls /mnt/boot/". [23:39] Gryllida - try lspci | grep VGA <--- (capitals for VGA) [23:39] help i think i just Delated my whole music collection by mistake i havn't shut down my computer yet can i save it [23:39] Diverdude: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf [23:39] hopeless8009: How did you delete it? [23:39] !recover | hopeless8009 [23:39] hopeless8009: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [23:39] hopeless8009: let's have alook-- [23:40] Jordan_U; out of my trash can [23:40] maddening [23:40] Jordan_U ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls /mnt/boot/ [23:40] grub memtest86+.bin [23:40] DasEi: what do i do [23:40] Jordan_U it only returns memtest [23:41] Diverdude: you can also find the directory where the conf files live by doing: apache2 -V | grep HTTPD_ROOT [23:41] hopeless8009: Then you may be able to recover most of the files by following the guides from ubottu, but no guarantee. Make sure that you write to the filesystem in question as little as possible untill you've recovered the files. [23:42] hopeless8009: out of trash it might be hard.. stop working with the sys, especially in view of saving/update new files, chroot , try something like above file recovery.., might get tricky [23:42] ubuntu_mad: Ok, that's certainly not right. [23:42] hey. i installed ruby and run my prgrams, but instead of giving me a stacktrace, i only get the result: error: error_msg - how do i enable stacktrace? I know for a fact that this is an ubuntu 10.10 problem, everywhere else it worked fine till now. [23:43] Jordan_U it happened after an update,i think there was a kernel update in there somewhere [23:43] i. [23:43] are there any known issues with the synaptics touchpad on the hp/comap nc6400 with 10.10? [23:43] ubuntu_mad: Did you ever have a separate /boot/ partition? [23:43] sivel, ahh yes ok...what do i have to do in the conf file to enable php5? [23:43] ok, with 10.10, how do I *really* stop my ssh server? /etc/init.d/ssh stop --> * Stopping OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd [ Ok ], but it's still running... [23:44] sirscott kill pid? [23:44] Hi, is there a way to disable hibernate ? [23:44] Jordan_U this system used to be a dual boot upto 3 months ago [23:44] UtrinqueParatus: it gets respawned [23:44] Darkstep: reduce swap file [23:44] sirscott: sudo service ssh stop; [23:44] Darkstep, in what way? remove it from the shutdown menu or prevent it from auto hibernating from inactivity? [23:44] UtrinqueParatus: I see this in syslog: ssh main process ended, respawning [23:44] OMG i cant belive it freaking did that [23:45] ubuntu_mad: Run "sudo mount --bind /proc/ /mnt/proc; sudo mount --bind /sys/ /mnt/sys/; sudo mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/dev/" then "sudo chroot /mnt/". That should bring you to a shell where you can run commands as if you were booted into your installed system. [23:45] is there a way to set config so that remote access password trials can be set to 3 trials & then locks for a period of time ? [23:45] trism: ahh, that works, thanks [23:45] sirscott sudo service ssh stop? [23:45] oh beat me to it [23:45] sirscott: it is now managed with upstart, but service will work for both sys-v and upstart scripts [23:45] !info fail2ban | anygivenname [23:45] anygivenname: fail2ban (source: fail2ban): bans IPs that cause multiple authentication errors.

For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [23:46] I'm using latest xubuntu live-cd on an older machine running a rage 128 pro card and when it goes into xorg the monitor says the refresh rate or resolution is wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direction? There's no xorg.conf in the livecd fs... not sure what to do... [23:46] Jordan_U done [23:46] trism: UtrinqueParatus ... thanks you two! [23:46] slidinghorn, if I'm not mistaking the hibernation option uses up space ? And if so I want to stop it and thus stop it from using up space.

Just use the command "xorg" to start it? [23:49] Mouldy_Punk: Or as Rowan sais: Ill eat you raw :P [23:49] what do i have to do in the apache conf file to enable php5? [23:49] ubuntu_mad1: Ok. Somehow all your kernel packages were removed. "apt-get install linux-image-generic" [23:49] Alpha, sorry, do I know you? [23:49] econdudeawesome: i guess that in a laptop that can be "easily" lost/stolen it helps protect your data [23:49] ubottu: seems i already have fail2ban....how to configure it ?

[23:51] DasEi: yes how do I reach its configuration [23:51] Alpha, a better clue? I've no idea what you're talking about [23:52] Jordan_U need to mount /dev/pts ya? [23:52] ubuntu_mad1: Yes. [23:52] Mouldy_Punk: Death be not a child, but a child hence forth. [23:53] Alpha, chat is better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic [23:53] DasEi: where is the config file of fail2ban ? how do edit it ? [23:53] Moold, slidinghorn: Slide with youer horn crowned majesty :) [23:53] Jordan_U got this"root@ubuntu:/# mount /dev/pts [23:53] mount: none already mounted or /dev/pts busy [23:53] mount: according to mtab, none is already mounted on /dev/pts" [23:54] anygivenname: gksudo gedit /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf [23:54] Jordan_U sorry for flood [23:54] heyy [23:54] is backing up sources.list enough for your repositories or do you need the keys somehow too, or are they in that file hah [23:54] ubuntu_mad1: Open another terminal and run "sudo mount --bind /dev/pts/ /mnt/pts/" [23:55] why is the device manager not installed in gnome by default?
